Cravings and Banish Your Bulge |
Dear Friend,
Have you ever found anything that takes away your addictive cravings? Besides eating the food...and usually eating lots of it?
I couldn't believe what I was hearing. The idea was preposterous. Gary Craig, a world-renowned personal improvement coach, was telling me that I could "totally eliminate addictive cravings in seconds" by following a simple tapping procedure that he calls Emotional Freedom Techniques - or EFT.
And get this: One repetition of the tapping exercise he recommends takes less than 30 seconds. And no will power was needed. Thirty seconds to stop cravings cold??? And no will power??? Was this a joke, or what?
In all my years of dieting, of trying to stop binging on ice cream, potato chips, and pizza, using lots and lots of will power and generally depriving myself, no one ever told me that tapping a few acupressure points alone could stop my addictive cravings dead in their tracks.
N o one ever told me that one of the main reasons behind addictive cravings is simply this: A "short-circuit" in the energy flow of your body causing some sort of feeling of anxiety that you are trying to calm with your favorite food. And it has nothing to do with will-power.
Now, imagine that you could get the benefits of balancing the energy flow and calming your craving simply by doing some specialized tapping exercises. Sounds great, doesn't it?
Or does it?
Really, it sounded ridiculous to me.
But the other people in the room...about three hundred of them...seemed to believe this was possible. So I decided to play along.
"EFT is easy, effective, and produces amazing results. I think it should be taught in elementary school."
Donna Eden
The Promise of Energy Psychology.
Imagine my surprise when this really worked! About 90% of the people in that room…and there were a lot of people…used EFT to get their cravings to a zero!!!
Don't know about you, but due to my skepticism about these claims, I decided to do some research on EFT. And guess what? To my utter amazement I found that it is clinically proven that regular use of EFT equals:
a.) a faster metabolism
b.) greater ability to handle stress
c.) improved emotional health and ...
d.) faster weight loss.
OK, but that still did not totally eliminate my skepticism.
Maybe the "secret" to EFT being successful was having Gary deliver it. After all, he is the developer of EFT and he might have some power using it that the rest of us don't know how to tap into.
But it seemed so simple. So I tried the same technique on different groups. And my results matched Gary's. Usually, about 85 to 90% of the people saw their cravings drop to zero or near zero. In a matter of minutes. Once, in a group of 50, only one person didn't reduce their cravings during the few minutes of the demonstration.
(Of course, no one technique works for 100% of the population…that is why we have a iron-clad money-back guarantee).
Even better, EFT worked for me! No longer is there a stash of ice cream in my freezer…even when I go out to dinner with people who order ice cream for dessert, I am satisfied with just a spoonful!
And those sour cream and onion potato chips just sit on the shelf in the supermarket…they don't call out to me anymore.
Last week, I had a craving for pizza but instead of tapping the keypad on the phone to order one, I tapped away the urge.
Now wouldn't you like to know how to eliminate your addictive cravings? That's reason enough to get my program, "Tap Away Those Extra Pounds – How To Lose Weight Forever with EFT."

(born 1598, Cherbourg, France—died Nov. 1, 1642, Sillery, Que., Can.) French explorer in North America. In 1618 he traveled to New France, where he lived with Indian tribes. He learned several Indian languages and became the interpreter for the French colony at Three Rivers (1633). He journeyed into Huron territory, canoeing with several Indians through the Straits of Mackinac to became the first European to see Lake Michigan (1634). He later explored the region of present-day Wisconsin.
Learn more about Nicolet, Jean with a free trial on Britannica.com.
On his arrival in Quebec, in order that he learn their language, he was sent to live with the Algonquins on Allumette Island, a friendly First Nation settlement on the important fur trade route on the Ottawa River. Nicolet returned to Quebec in 1635, but was then directed to go to the Lake Nipissing area where he spent more than eight years among the Nipissing First Nation nation, running a store and trading with the various indigenous peoples in the area.
From a relationship with a Nipissing native, a woman named Marie Savage, he had a daughter, Madeleine Euphrosine Nicolet, whom he later brought back with him to the colony. On July 19, 1629, when Quebec fell to the Kirke brothers who took control for England, Jean Nicolet fled back into the safety of the Huron country and worked against English interests until the French were restored to power.
Jean Nicolet is noted for being the first European to cross Lake Michigan, and, in 1634, became Wisconsin's first European explorer. He landed at Red Banks, near modern-day Green Bay, Wisconsin, in search of a passage to the Orient. He and others had learned that the people who lived along these shores were called Winnebago ("the people from the stinking water") and "the People of the Sea." He concluded that these people must be from or near the Pacific Ocean and would provide a direct contact with China.

Have any of you grown moss from seed?
I am starting another dart frog tank I really would like to put lots of moss in there. I like Scotch moss and would like to find others that are happy in terrariums being trampled by little frogs :) I was assuming that since moss is so short, it should't take very long to grow big enough to put in a frog tank ;) (I'm probably wrong, huh?) I would rather grow it from seed than pay wayyyyy too much money for it from a store.
Moss grows from spores and is in that respect different from plants. I started the moss in my tank by removing moss from some of my orchid pots, moss had naturally grown on top of the sphagnum moss growing medium. Those small plugs of moss almost completely covered the floor of the tank in about six months and have since begun to reproduce sexually as well as vegetativly. Others have collected small samples of wild moss and introduced it into their tanks, just remember to take only a small amount and that it must be found growing in conditions similar to ones you are going to provide in the terrarium.
I have noticed moss for sale in pet stores before but I have never purchased it, I would wonder if it would actually come back to life or not. One thing that is certain is that you need a fair amount of light to grow moss, unless you can find a species that does well in deep shade. There are plants that closely resemble moss that may work just as well, java moss is a good example and is found easily in aquarium stores.
Here is a link that might be useful: life cycle of moss
Scotch moss (like irish moss) is a flowering plant: Sagina subulata or Sagina apetala. Personally I spend a lot of time trying to get rid of it, as it is very invasive and will cover everything. You can buy it, or you can ask someone with a greenhouse for some, as no doubt they too will be frantically pulling it out of their pots :) In melbourne it's often found growing in gaps in the footpath.
Java moss is indeed a moss, from the Hypnaceae, or plait moss family. Some mosses require lots of light, but generally mosses grow in their prefered conditions, so if you can match the light of the original location, your moss will hopefully grow well. Some mosses are substrate specific - they won't grow on the wrong type of soil.
Good evening Favorite_Kitty,
I bought 7,000 Irish Moss (really this type is not a moss at all) seeds on ebay to plant around my rock waterfall pond this Spring. Boy! those seeds are tiny. I also bought some dry moss sheets from a local arts & craft store called Hobby Lobby. Honestly this moss is holding up great as a ground cover for my tiny terrarium. I just cut the moss out, to the amount I want and lay it on top of soil. Before I did that, I mist both sides of the moss. I also have Java Moss which I was told only grows inside water with med. light., used for aquariums.

The sheet moss sold in pet stores does not come back to life, in my experience. And while scotch moss is not really a moss, it is a very pretty little groundcover that gets white flowers in the spring, and it might work in a terrarium, as long as it doesn't need a dormancy period. Check which zone it's hardy to (the highest zone). If it's zone 10 or more, it should do well in a terrarium. Selaginella is another good plant that isn't a true moss, if you get a species that tends to stay lower. Java moss doesn't actually need to be submerged under water, and it can take nearly all light levels (except for very low). And actually, if you are setting up a PDF tank, java moss is ideal, because PDFs require such high humidity, the java moss will be kept constantly moist (if you set up the tank properly), and will do very well, covering the land parts, and growing into the water parts as well.
Irish Moss or Scotch Moss
Hardiness Zone: 4 - 7
I can hardly wait to plant my Irish Moss around my pond. I too think it is very pretty. Not sure if it would do well in a terrarium. The sheet moss, may be completely dead but it does look nice and green. It really gives your terrarium and potted plants a nice effect. A saleslady told me to put milk on it and it would stay green. I haven't done that since I had a hard time believing that.
I pick moss from my back yard and grow it on a pot for future use in a terrarium, that way I know is free of insects. You can find moss anywhere's humid.
I came up with a different idea for growing moss 'outside' a pot. First, cut out a firm round plastic lead, make 2 holes, and put a wire thru it and thru the bottom hole of a clay pot (which now is the top), filled with sphagnum moss inside, with a layer outside (I soaked it overnight)then wrapped it with a plastic net. Added the moss, and another plastic net (the net they use on cherry trees to protect fruit from birds). I also added some small ferns, and to keep it moist I water the inside sphagnum moss and also spray the outside. It sounds difficult, but is very easy. You can put it on a humidity tray (with pebbles and water)Here is a pic of mine, it's been about a year now, (I've been "harvesting" always leaving some to regrow)
The plastic at the bottom is to keep the sphagnum moss from coming out and the wire so you can pick the pot up without damaging the moss.
Hope this helps! Here's a picture to give you a better idea.
Ana :)
Here is a link that might be useful: growing moss
Ana that looks amazing, I can just imagine what it will look like when the moss totally covers the surface. I think I am going to have to give this one a try. I have some small maidenhair ferns, some Phlebodium aureum, as well as some unknown species that keep popping up in my Bulbophyllum pots.
I thought about something similar before, more of a cylinder filled with sphagnum moss that was anchored in a large pot full of growing medium. I think I saw it in an old book on houseplants.
That is an excellent idea and I think to make a cylinder out of chiken wire, lined with plastic mosquito screen filled with sphagnum moss, rolled in a cylinder and probably, close the ends with some wire, then make holes and plant small ferns, that would look great..... also, you can bend the cylinder into a circle, an S or a T..... ohhh boy, don't get me going! LOL
Ana :)
The sheet moss that I got didn't stay green, it turned brown and looked very much dead after about two weeks. So if your sheet moss still looks green, then it's been dyed, and I would wonder about the toxicity of the dye in a terrarium that would contain animals.
Well ladybug you could go into business with all your talents with plants. Amazing, beautiful and again thank you. How long have you been doing this? I am such a kintergarten gardner.
My sheet moss is still green but maybe dead and dyed green. It looks great for decoration. I have a lot of real live growing moss in my wooded forest backyard. Dah! I should dig some up and go from there. Ha! In the summer my backyard in KY has high humidty, insects that drain your blood and beautiful wild plants. I have no idea what these plants are except the ones I transplanted into my pond planter, and reseach with the local nursery. These wild plants that i picked were Christmas Ferns, Wild Violets and 2 baby Pine trees. Because they are naturaly from my area, they are naturally easy to care for and doing great. Cheap and easy.

Advice for Women with Shoulder Pain Video
Advice for women with shoulder pain
Jennifer Worrell carries around a heavy burden. Her shoulder tote bag weighs almost 13 pounds, and all the extra baggage may be taking its toll.

I have a very heavy bag that I carry on the same shoulder for 2 hours everyday. I have a very long commute, and I've started experiencing shoulder pain

 my left hand shoulder and in my lower back, and radiating up in my neck.

Each year, 3 million women visit orthopedic surgeons for shoulder problems. Their injuries result from years of abusive habits. Women carry jampacked purses, they haul heavy grocery bags, they lift babies out of cribs. All of which can make shoulders vulnerable. Also, women lack the overall upper body strength that men have.

All this stress can lead to bursitis, tendonitis, and rotator cuff injuries. But there are a few ways women can save their shoulders.

You need to purge the excess from your tote bag. We found women who carry as much as 7 pounds alone in paper in their shoulder bags. Take your umbrella out if it isn't going to rain. Don't bring the extra pair of shoes if you're not going to wear them. Experts tell us that you shouldn't carry more than 8 pounds in your bag.

And try a microfiber bag. They can be a pound lighter than leather.

I went through my purse and figured out exactly what I needed for the commute, and what I could live without. My purse is now about half the size as it was before and a lot lighter.

I'm Rena Maliszewski for today's Good Housekeeping Report.

I arrived on Monday in Los Angeles to attend the "Very Important Characters (VIC)" event and got to see some old friends and meet some new ones. After a great evening I got a great night's sleep and got to the Kodak Theatre early to see everything kick off.
I have been to LA more times than I can count but I had never been to the Kodak Theatre which is where they hold the Oscars every year. What was really suprising was that it was connected to a kind of outdoor California mall but the place has so much history and our event co-host Jeffrey Hazlett along with the Kodak social media team, was a very involved participant.
Kicking Things Off
Jeff Pulver, creator and co-host of the 140Conf LA, kicked things off and had this to say in his recap of the event "Two words: Serendipity and Humanity". I couldn't agree more. The event started with this funny opening video from Mashcast and the opening video is below (courtesy of Blip.TV):
Jeff explained the extremely packed agenda and small presentation windows (usually 10 minutes) – 140 characters over two days just like the length of a Tweet (140 character post on Twitter) – very clever. What was great about it was that people had to get to the point and in true Oscar fashion, they played the Oscar "get off the stage your time is up music" (Ben Hur soundtrack) which a few people did on purpose just so they can say they were kicked off the stage at the Kodak.
Being in Hollywood you would expect that many of the topics and speakers would revolve around the impact of Twitter and real-time communications on the entertainment industry.
Highlight #1 – Virgin America and Twitter
First half of the morning had Porter Gale (@porterVA), VP Marketing at Virgin America. If you haven't flown this airline, it is truly amazing – power in every seat and fleet wide wi-fi. She talked about some amazing experiences of people using Twitter to share experiences, reach out for customer service and even order a drink for someone on the same flight because they were listening on Twitter. She also made one of my favorite analogies "Flying on VA is like flying inside an iPod". Below is the video of her talk (via Blip.TV):
Highlight #3 – Mark Horvath, Lizard Man of Hollywood Blvd
Around 4pm, Mark Horvath (@hardlynormal) gave a presentation on how the homeless are using Twitter to communicate. He was homeless on Hollywood Blvd for about 5 years in the 1990′s. I first met him at the Gnomedex conference and it was a truly amazing thing he is doing getting awareness for a topic most of us ignore everyday, homelessness. You would be blown away with the real faces of who is homeless. Twitter is a free real-time tool that they can use and he got a truly deserved standing ovation. You really need to watch this presentation. Below is the video of his talk (via Blip.TV):
Highlight #4 – Marc Salsberry: Passion + Cancer= Perfect Wingman
Many of you in the tech industry might know Marc (@wmmarc) and for those of you that don't, he makes us in the tech industry look like rock stars and has a saying that sums it all: "A life without passion is mere existence, and merely existing isn't living". He is an entrepreneur but takes amazing pictures and it was a gateway to really network and meet new people. He says "before Rolling Stone, they were musicians with greasy hair that didn't bathe, but after Rolling Stone, they were rock stars". He wants to do the same for and show people those in the tech community for the rock stars they are.
He spoke emotionally about his brother's recent fight and loss to cancer. It was truly inspiring and how he used Twitter to share his life and his brother's fight. He talked about how people have been introduced to their wife or their next business partner and how his being a photographer has connected his to so many amazing people and to become the perfect wingman.
Below is the video of his talk (via Blip.TV):
Highlight #5 – Kevin Pollack
Around 5pm Kevin Pollack (@kevinpollack) was interviewed by Jeff Pulver and went right after Marc Salsberry. Kevin is a total class act and asked Marc if it was "ok to be a smart ass". He talked about how "the meek shall inherit the earth 140 characters at a time". "Using Twitter for Pursuing Your Passion". He talked about his show, the Kevin Pollack Show, Below is the video of their talk (via Blip.TV):
End of Day 1 – All I can say is "WOW"
As you can see above, these talks were just a sample of the amazing talks which you can watch all on the 140Conf Blip.TV channel. Truly a stellar first day and I can't wait until day 2.
NEXT TIME: Day 2 Recap

Lazy Day Art
June 27, 2013
Only three weeks into summer break, and I'm already running out of activities for the kids. Help! We have some road trips planned for later this summer, but we've done nearly everything there is to do locally short of playing in the trees (saving that for my birthday!) and I've also exhausted anything of interest to the boys on my 'potential activities to do with the kids' Pinterest board.
A lazy day at home and bored (eg. messy and cranky) kids spurred me to think of an easy craft with a satisfying payout, because projects with a longer prep and clean-up time than the actual project itself are a complete buzz kill. Painting with the kids, for example, equals…panic attack!!! Or is that just me?
But paper! Yes. Cut into tidy geometric shapes with a paper cutter and paper punch. That is something I can handle while my toddler tears apart the kitchen (typically Tupperware, cooking utensils, and occassionally a bag of marshmallows because of big bro's forgetfulness). Armed with glue sticks, glue dots, and these cute inspirational postcards that came with my latest Birchbox package, the boys set to work designing their own cities out of the shapes I prepared for them.
I find that my kids are more invested and engaged in their projects if they have an example to loosely follow and be inspired by.
I think their artwork turned out awesome. They must have thought so too because they'd stop and admire their work every so often.
And not at all related, but three necklaces, stickers down her arm AND pigtails warrants pictorial evidence. My heart explodes.

Great idea! My girls would love to do something like this. I too am running out of ideas…you can only take so many trips to the Target and Walmart toy aisles :).
Comment by Emma on June 27, 2013 10:21 pm
Forgot to mention- not buying anything down those aisles…
ps- M sure is super cute!
pps- Painting gives me heartattack too- sometimes I don't feel like washing my walls after the painting craft..ughhh. -

The Trident & Rocket 3 Owners Club, established in 1979, caters for all BSA and Triumph triple engined road and race machines manufactured between 1968 and 1976 plus specials and race bikes that are clearly related to the original machines. Club membership is split approximately 70 percent in the UK, 30 percent worldwide.
The Models
Bsa Rocket 3 A75
Triumph Trident T150
Triumph Hurricane X75
Triumph Trident T160
We actively encourage the continued use of BSA and Triumph triples, the TR3OC participate in a wide range of "Classic" events and organise a variety of meetings and rallies, the best known of these is our annual Beezumph Rally/Track days where club members have the opportunity to ride their road or race bikes on a race circuit.
From the start the club has had an ethos of using our bikes, consequently we have built up a wealth of experience to keep them in use on road and track, this information is available via the club magazine Triple Echo, and through direct contact with our Archivist, Spares and Technical officers (see the list of emails on the right). The club merchandise also includes a comprehensive manual "Technical Notes" available as a hard copy or on CD.
Triple Echo, published bi- monthly, and mailed to all full members contains a broad mix of technical, historical, travel and events information. Contributions to the magazine come from a wide cross section of members including on occasion, some from our Honorary members listed below.
Our Honorary members reads like a Who's Who of the triple world, many of them attend club events regularly and virtually all of them have visited Beezumph, some come every year which gives us the chance to meet the people who made the triples such fabulous bikes.
On the Area Meetings page there is a list of the meeting points throughout the UK and abroad, where you get the chance to meet other club members and talk about bikes (again)!
The club AGM is usually held at a hotel in the midlands. Most years there is a pre- AGM meal and talk on the night before the actual AGM, in recent years Percy Tait, John Cooper and Mick Duckworth have all spoken, these really are memorable evenings for anyone interested in triples.
The TR3OC are proud to list below our President, Patron, Founder and Honorary Members.

Well I'm attempting to determine which modes are needed in my PIDs. I couldn't beat the price I got the units, so I realize they are a little over kill. However at $15 a piece I'm not afraid to ask some help.http://www.omega.com/manuals/manualpdf/M0531.pdf The above in the manual for the unit, hard part is they are images of the original manual as it was produced several years ago. I have two at my disposal and I'm planning a HERMS setup. I assumed one to control the mash, and second for HLT. Someone help me understand!
Hey where did you get those? At 15$ a piece I might be interested too.
nice score on the prices! Well, not sure where to start as I don't know exactly what it is you don't understand. First off, shall we assume you're planning on an electric-heated MLT and HLT? Going from there you'll need a thermocouple temperature probe and solid state relay for each unit. These industrial controllers are very flexible and configurable in a thousand different ways, but looks like they will work for what you have planned for them. I can try to help you with specific questions.
I'm trying to determine from the manual two things 1. Can it be ran with the cooling function disabled or just not connected 2. Can it be cycle adjustable so I can limit frequence when I've reached a boil
>1. Can it be ran with the cooling function disabled or just not connected If it can't be disabled, just don't connect anything for cooling. Cooling will be the absence of heat. >2. Can it be cycle adjustable so I can limit frequence when I've reached a boil I would think for boiling you would put it in manual mode, full-on. Rick
but once I've reached a boil, I would like to be able to cut it back some, is this possible
I know very little about PIDs but the responses to my PID thread led me to understand this. Its basically an on/off switch with a temperature differential to activate the switch. You wont be able to make it any hotter than boiling(212 at sea level) and if the differential is even 1 degree, then it will boil and then stop(because boiling is 212 not 211). at the same time it would try to cycle faster and faster to regulate the temp more consistently. therefore while being a sweet device for a HLT or possibly on a gas fired autopilot MLT (I dont think I would want my grain scorching against a heater element in an electric fired MLT). It wouldn't be very effective for the boil kettle. I'm still trying to figure out why some riggs have PIDs set on MLTs. I'm probably all wrong on this and hope someone with more brewsense and tech know how than me gives you better answers than I have.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Secretary of State Matt Dunlap Releases for Public Comment the Proposed Ballot Questions on Four Citizen Initiatives Heading for Fall VoteAUGUSTA, MaineMaine Secretary of State Matt Dunlap announced today that his office was releasing drafts of questions that will be presented to Maine voters this November 3rd. Under the law, the public will have 30 days to comment on the draft questions that have been prepared. The Maine Constitution, Article IV, Part Third, Section 18 provides for legislation by citizen initiative. In order for a proposal to move forward, a number of signatures of registered Maine voters equivalent to 10% of the votes cast at the last gubernatorial election must be certified by the Secretary of State. That number this year is 55,087 signatures. Once the signatures are certified, the legislation is transmitted to the Legislature. Four citizen initiatives were certified on February 23 rd by the Secretary of State and transmitted to the Legislature. Members of the House and Senate had the option of enacting the measures into law or sending them to the voters for a final determination. The Legislature could not amend or alter the measures in any way. Because they were not enacted without change, each measure must now be voted on at the upcoming November election. The proposed wording for the four initiative questions that voters will decide on, along with links to the text of the proposed statutory language for each initiative , are as follows: Secretary Dunlap noted that Maine law, Title 21-A MRSA Section 905-A, requires that the Secretary of State "provide a 30-day public comment period for the purpose of receiving comments on the content and form of proposed questions to be placed on the ballot for any pending initiatives." Written public comments on any of the four proposed questions may be filed with the Secretary of State by email at firstname.lastname@example.com; by mail at Secretary of State, Attn: Public Comment, 148 State House Station, Augusta, ME 04333-0148; or by hand at the Secretary of State's office at Nash School, 103 Sewall Street, Augusta, Maine. Public comments must be received by the Secretary of State prior to the close of business on July 27, 2009. The questions were drafted by the Secretary of State with assistance from senior staff, the Attorney General's office, and volunteer experts serving as Ballot Clarity Advisors. "The Maine Constitution and the laws that emanate from it are designed to facilitate full citizen involvement in the formation of public policy," Dunlap said. "Our job is to provide the forum for that engagement, and to lend as much integrity to the process as we can. I am looking forward to the comments on what we have rendered so far," he said. For further information, please visit the Secretary of State's website at www.maine.gov/sos/cec/elec/proposedquestions.html . |

Attend an event at UT Arlington and you'll likely see Neer Patel. The president of the Young Alumni Chapter spreads his enthusiasm across campus with a rare jubilance.
Patel became YAC president as a senior and organized the first alumni oozeball team last fall. He introduced the annual graduation party and is planning joint laser tag events between the YAC and the Student Alumni Association. He's also working to develop graduate scholarship funds so the group can give back to students.
"My years on campus were the best years of my life," said Patel ('06 BS, Information Systems). "I just want to keep people energized about UTA."
After graduating from high school in Houston, he chose UT Arlington for its computer science and engineering program. Plus, a campus in the Metroplex offered convenient access to technical firms.
He was among the first students to live in Arlington Hall and participated in several student organizations during his early years on campus. As a junior, he shifted his focus to the Association of Information Technology Professionals.
He now works as a Web designer and application developer for Arlington-based PDS Companies, which develops asset management software for the financial services industry.
Patel gets the word out about the YAC in every way possible. The chapter is one of many within the Alumni Association, and it serves a range of people. Most YAC members graduated within the decade.
Megan McIntyre, YAC vice president, said Patel became "10 times more involved" after he graduated. She said she welcomes his input and fine-tuning on a multitude of creative ideas.
"He'll have a positive impact wherever he goes," she said.
Student Congress President Collins Watson worked with Patel on the mascot naming process (see outside back cover) and the graduation party last spring. Watson says Patel jumps in and does whatever he can to help.
"Neer makes me excited to want to be a young alumnus," Watson said.

I figured this might be a great place to ask, also figuring everybody here is probably well acquainted with the laws regarding concealed weapons, and so I'm hoping maybe somebody here could help me out with this. I'm not sure exactly if this is entirely pertinent to this forum, but I did find this site by doing a search and finding a thread with a similar topic, so, here it goes. Here's a story.
Yesterday, my boyfriend and I were stopping by to pick up a friend of his from his friend's high school. We both really, really needed to use the bathroom, and had we not had to pee so bad it hurt, we would've never even left the car. But we did. And my boyfriend was a ******* and shoved his cap gun in his pocket because he takes his cap guns everywhere because, well, I don't know. But entering the school in the first place made me nervous, and I thought the cap gun would've been best hidden in his friend's bag, though that never happened.
And then this is where it gets nasty.
We were loitering around, literally not even for two minutes, waiting for his friend' girlfriend, when the school police officer walks up and tells boyfriend to put his hands up against the wall.
Searches boyfriend.
Boyfriend had his knife in his pocket from the other night and didn't even realize it.
Weapon on school property.
I don't know what justified it, but they searched the friend. Friend had a razor.
Weapon on school property.
They were threatening ME, who had nothing on me but my keys and my clothes, with charging me for being "transportation" (oh, lol, so apparently I'm the get-away car? FOR WHAT?), though the school officer dismissed me because the only thing they can do for trespassing on school property is ask you to leave. So I did. Went home. And they dragged my boyfriend and his friend off to the police station for weapons on school property.
And, see, this is where I've got my eyebrows all raised.
Been reading around, and everywhere I look about laws about weapons on school property in the state of Tennessee highlights/italicizes that it's bringing a weapon onto school property with the intent to go armed. My question is, how do I interpret this? Is it intentionally just having a weapon or intending to actually harm somebody? And, I mean, if it's intentionally having a weapon, my boyfriend was about as intentionally armed as somebody who walks into airport security with the wrong kind of keychain. Right here I'm doubting whether the friend could get off if this is in fact the case, having been on campus all day with a razor, but, I mean, seriously.
This is a waste of tax payer money if I ever heard of one.
And the other eye roller is that, once I was half an hour away from the school, I get a call from my boyfriend from the police department saying they want me to turn around and come back because I was TRANSPORTATION. After they'd just let me off the hook. Fortunately I had the sense to call my mom and tell her about it before I made a move, and she told me to stay put while she called my dad (who's, hey, Hamilton Bowen of Bowen Classic Arms actually, haha, annnnd also has a law license) for advice. His advice being come straight home and not to go anywhere near the police station without a lawyer, and if the police station wants me to go down there, they need to call me, not my boyfriend, and now, if they want to talk to me at all, they're talking to daddy. But I include this because... if they're trying to drag me back for being an accessory, I'm just assuming they're probably trying to hammer boyfriend and friend as hard as possible.
But, yes. Bottom line: "armed with intent"? Armed with intent to HARM or intending to be ARMED period?
And again I apologize if this isn't really the place for me to be asking these kinds of questions. I just figured you guys are one hell of a great group of people to seek out for knowledge about this kind of thing, haha.

Goucher College's Earth Day and Earth Night celebrations were held Saturday, April 20. Students organized the celebrations. They were intended to raise awareness and fundraise for environmental clubs and their current campaigns.
Earth Day took place on the residential quad. Six clubs—Imagine More, the Agriculture Co-Op, GEAR, Goucher Outdoor Society, Yearbook Club, and Bollywood Club; two special interest houses—Peace House and Green House; and one outside vendor—a scarf-maker, attended and tabled the sparsely attended, but lively event. While the celebration was scheduled from one to five p.m., the festivities only began in earnest around two p.m.

Mu Kappa
Mu Kappa is an on-campus club open to all Missionary Kids (MKs), Third Culture Kids (TCKs), and international students, dedicated to building relationships through events and activities. Our goal is to provide an environment where support can be found during cultural transitions and adaptations. We work alongside other Mu Kappa chapters by joining them at retreats, international dinners, and other events. Domestic students are also welcomed by our growing Mu Kappa community of students.
Mu Kappa understands the value of mentorship during the transition into life in America. Therefore, we facilitate one-on-one peer and/or faculty mentorship by those with similar international experiences. We provide resources to aid incoming students in acquiring skills and information needed for life here in Minnesota. Mu Kappa values and embraces the special bond between those who have international experiences and we want to encourage and promote the sharing of these experiences within the Crown community.

I was born in Florida but shortly after moved to New Zealand where my parents served as missionaries. My family then moved to England where I lived until the age of nine. When we returned to America, I was that ?weird kid? with the English accent and the funny idea of what ?football? really was.
Now I am a student at Crown College, and I am loving every minute of it. For those of you who also grew up overseas or have traveled, there are so many people here at Crown who have done the same. I have had great conversations with other students about their international experiences, and it is awesome to hear how God has worked in each of our lives.
I love being a part of the community here at Crown, surrounded by loving, knowledgeable professors and new friends. There is a huge missions focus here which I really value. Crown is not centered only on developing our own faith, but reaching out to the lost with the good news of Jesus. If you end up joining me at Crown, I assure you, you won?t be disappointed.
If you?re interested in learning more about Crown, would like to talk with me about being an MK here, or just talk to another MK, please write me at: . I would love to hear from you!

Click Here to Get the Cheapest Price on Mr Lid Containers
Hey my name is Monica and welcome to my Mr Lid review blog. When I first saw the Mr Lid commercial I knew that I wanted a set of the Mr Lid containers. In my kitchen there are tons of mismatched containers. I like to have an organized kitchen and my Tupperware was not helping. Mr Lid has been the best solution for my family and to make sure that Tupperware is no longer lost or mismatched.
After dinner my family always has left overs. I like to cook extra that way my family can eat the left overs for lunch the next day. My husband likes to take left overs to work for lunch so he doesn't have to rely on vending machine food or buying an expensive lunch. Left overs are also great for days when I don't feel like cooking.
Click Here to Visit the Mr Lid Official Website
What interested me most in the Mr Lid containers was that the lid is actually attached to the container. I have gone through countless set of Tupperware because I keep misplacing the lids or the containers. I would also lose a lot of Tupperware because I used to loan it people who would never return it. My kitchen used to be full of lids and containers and it was a hassle to have to sort through all the lids and container to find a match.
I was really impressed with the Mr Lids design because it is uncomplicated, innovative and organized. However, I was concerned with the hinge on the Mr Lid container. I was worried that it would not be that sturdy and break off. Despite my concerns I still ordered the Mr Lid containers and I am still impressed with it. The hinges on the containers still look new, there aren't any fracture lines in the plans and the lids still closes tightly on to the container. Plus, the Mr Lid containers come with a lifetime guarantee that the lid won't break or separate.
The concern I had was the reliability of the lid to stay on securely. If I dropped it or turned it upside down I didn't want the contents of the container to spill everywhere. In the commercial for Mr Lids the containers are shown being dropped, turned upside down and there wasn't anything that spilled out. When I got my Mr Lids order I decided to put them to the test. I put some carrot slices into the containers and I dropped it from shoulder height a few times. I was very surprised when the container didn't open after I dropped it. And the lid stays on tightly when it's turned upside down.
Eating healthy is important to my family and I. I was also impressed with the fact the Mr Lid containers are BPA free, microwave safe, and freezer safe. The best part about the Mr Lid offer is that I got two sets for the price of one, as well as large entrée container. I often use the large container for salads. Plus, there is a 60 day money back guarantee. Even though I had 60 days to decide if I wanted to keep Mr Lids or not, I knew that I wanted to keep them after the first day.

Is Resist Intensive Wrinkle-Repair Retinol Serum better than the other Paula's Choice serums?
Not better, just different. Think of it like broccoli and carrots: both are good for you but provide different nutritional benefits your body needs to be healthy. Resist Intensive Wrinkle-Repair Retinol Serum was formulated with a greater amount of retinol to provide a higher degree of wrinkle repair – but all Paula's Choice serums contain an array of ingredients proven to help repair wrinkles and other signs of aging.Can I use two Paula's Choice products with retinol, such as Resist Barrier Repair Moisturizer with Resist Intensive Wrinkle-Repair Retinol Serum?
Yes, this is fine; however, if you noticed that applying such products at the same time causes signs of irritation (such as redness or flaking) it would be best to apply one in the morning and the other at night, or consider switching to Resist Super Antioxidant Concentrate Serum, which is retinol-free.Can I use Resist Intensive Wrinkle-Repair Retinol Serum with my prescription retinoid product (examples: Renova, Retin-A, generic tretinoin).
Yes, but generally speaking, you don't necessarily need to use retinol and a prescription retinoid. Many will do fine with one or the other, or you can apply the prescription retinoid at night and apply the retinol product during the day, always being sure to protect your skin with a product rated SPF 15 or greater. Keep in mind that using multiple retinoid products increases the risk of irritation, which is never the goal. With retinoids, more is not automatically better!Can I apply Resist Intensive Wrinkle-Repair Retinol Serum with a product medicated with benzoyl peroxide?
Yes. For best results, apply the benzoyl peroxide product to breakout-prone areas, allow to dry, then follow with Resist Intensive Wrinkle-Repair Retinol Serum. Note that benzoyl peroxide should not be applied at the same time as the prescription retinoid tretinoin, as it renders this active ingredient ineffective. It does not appear to have this same effect on retinol.Can I layer Paula's Choice serums? Do I need to do this?
Yes, you can and it does not matter which serum is applied first. Experiment to see which order of serum application works best for you.
No, you do not need to layer serums as every Paula's Choice serum treats skin to an array of brilliant ingredients. But for those who desire to apply more than one of our serums at the same time, it is fine to do this after cleansing, toning, and exfoliating. Because layering two serums plus your daytime moisturizer may feel too heavy under makeup, we recommend those who wish to layer our serums do so at night.
I keep depressing the pump, but no product is coming out.
The pump is not broken as you might think, but it is a so called airless pump.
This product is packaged in an airless pump dispenser which utilizes a vacuum system to dispense and keep the contents fresh. Airless packaging helps to keep air and contaminates out of the product, which enhances the formula's stability and effectiveness.
When using your product for the first time, you may need to "prime" the dispenser. To prime, simply pump the dispenser slowly about 10-15 times. If the dispenser stops working at any time, simply repeat the "priming" step. Do not attempt to dismantle the package.
We kindly request you to please try again. If the pump still isn't working please contact us.

EUGENE, Ore. — Mom's Pies is a local institution.
It's been around for more than 40 years, most of those up along Highway 126. But a fresh start in a new location could also signal the end of an era.
Bertha Nyseth could probably make a perfect pie in her sleep. She's been doing this for decades.
"I say 30 years, but I can't give you an exact number. I can't remember what year I went to work at Mom's Pies," Nyseth said.
She's rolled the dough, filled the tins, and crimped the crust on thousands of pies over the years. Her first stint at Mom's Pies was at its spot along Highway 126.
"My folks bought Mom's Pies in the '70s and I bought it from them in the '90s," said Louis Sangermano, Mom's Pies Owner.
Sangermano closed up shop in 2003 and reopen in downtown Eugene last year.
"We do miss it upriver. It was a very special place. It had the cards on the ceiling and such, but we do feel like we're a little more year-round here," Sangermano said.
The venue's new, sure. But it pays tribute to its roots with a mural on the wall, and the same recipes it's served up since the 1940s.
"A lot of people are walking in saying, 'Is this the same place? Is this the same pie maker?'" Sangermano said.
It does, for now. Nyseth, who's 85, is getting ready to hang up her apron at Mom's Pies.
"It is very hard work and I only do this for three hours," Nyseth said.
For three hours one day a week, she'll be rolling, mixing, filling, crimping and leaving her mark at least for a little while longer.
"I enjoy it," Nyseth said.
Even after Nyseth retires, the owner of Mom's Pies says don't worry, the recipe will be the same. You can taste it for yourself at the shop along 11th and Willamette.

Once inside the residence the suspect was armed with a screwdriver and he attacked his alleged ex-girlfriend. The suspect allegedly began to kick the victim in the head, punch her several times with a closed fist, and ultimately stabbed her once in each arm with a screwdriver. The victim was able to run from her attacker and enter another room to call the police. The suspect allegedly kicked open the door to the room in which the victim was hiding and began to attack her once more. A female homeowner observed what was occurring and intervened along with another male to stop the attacker.

Hawaiian Electric Will Power New 110-MW Plant with Biofuels
Hawaiian Electric Company (HECO), based in Honolulu, has issued a request for proposals (RFP) to find a supplier of ethanol or biodiesel for use in HECO's planned 110-megawatt (MW) Campbell Industrial Park Generation Station in Honolulu.
The new plant will be designed to use a variety of fossil and renewable fuels, but in a recent agreement reached with the Hawaii Division of Consumer Advocacy, HECO committed to use 100 percent biofuel. The agreement is subject to approval from the Hawaii Public Utilities Commission and obtaining the necessary air permit from the State of Hawaii Department of Health. HECO senior vice president of operations Tom Joaquin said, "As far as we know, there is not another utility combustion turbine electricity generator using or planning to use biofuels in the United States, and probably the world."
Potential biofuel suppliers have until February 15, 2007 to submit a proposal. HECO's preference is for biofuel made from Hawaii-grown feedstock, but is open to biofuel produced elsewhere. The new generating station may be in service as early as mid-2009.
HECO's decision between ethanol and biodiesel and its selection of a supplier will be based on many factors, including price, value, timeliness of supply, technical considerations, security of supply, terms and conditions of supply, supplier experience and demonstrated ability to perform, delivery means and methods, and product quality. HECO estimates that operating the unit on 100 percent biofuel will normally require between 5 million and 12 million gallons, with a maximum of up to 20 million gallons per year.
For more information, see the December 26 HECO press release.

Intermediate Emacs Hacking
Customizing Emacs is important to get the most out of it. You can change the way it operates to reflect your way of doing things, which in turn makes you more efficient. Just as custom-built boots fit better than factory boots, a customized Emacs fits you better than standard, off-the-shelf Emacs.
Emacs changes can be session-specific or permanent. You can customize Emacs directly by executing commands in the mini-buffer or by modifying variables using the set-variable command. These changes are volatile, meaning you lose them when you end your session. To make permanent changes, you can create or modify an init file. Emacs examines several init files when it loads. Probably the easiest way to customize is to edit .emacs, stored in your home directory. Before loading your .emacs file, Emacs loads default.el from your library path. Emacs also looks in its load path for site-start.el, which system administrators may use to provide site-wide customization. Alternatively, you can make permanent Emacs changes through the Customize menu (Options→Customize Emacs in version 21.1 and up). This gives you a GUI-based front end for modifying your .emacs file.
Like most GUI front ends, Customize is not as powerful as hacking the text configuration file, but it is easier to use. Fire up the Customization group, and you notice that Emacs builds the menus on the fly. That way it's always up to date (Figure 1).
To navigate Customize's tree structure, either point to a button and press Return or click on the button. Full Emacs searching also works in the Customize buffers. Each level in the tree is represented in a buffer, and you can manipulate Customize buffers as usual. For example, when you are done with a level, kill the buffer.
I'd like to turn on the PHP speedbar whenever I enter PHP mode, for example, when I visit a PHP file. To do this, I follow the menu tree to PHP mode customization (Figure 2). As you can see, I've toggled the state but haven't yet saved my changes. I can set it only for this session, or I can save the change for future sessions. When I do the latter, Emacs edits my .emacs file. You can verify the change by searching for the variable name in .emacs.
If you aren't sure of the name of a variable or where to find it in Customize's vast tree, you can use regular expression searches on variable names and their contents. If you want to change how Emacs prints, you could search on the regex "print" and Emacs would build a custom Customize menu for you. See the menu under Options→Customize Emacs for these and other options.
You also can modify Emacs' behavior by editing ~/.emacs directly. This is a good way to add function and insert bulk customizations you may learn about from other people. For example, C mode can be modified by setting variables that affect how it operates.
Many modes are customized on a per-buffer basis. This means you write a short function that sets the variables and set that function to be executed whenever Emacs enters the mode. The outline of it is:
(defun rays_c_mode () "ray's c/c++ mode hook" (message "Loading Ray's C mode...") ... (message "Loading Ray's C mode... Done") ) (add-hook 'c-mode-common-hook 'rays_c_mode)
The Lisp function defun defines a function, in this case rays_C_mode. The function takes no parameters; it prints out messages only for the user's benefit. The last line adds the function rays_c_mode to C mode's mode hook, that is, a list of functions executed whenever Emacs enters C mode. You can see more of Ray's C mode in my personal .emacs file (see Resources).
It is customary to name the variables for a particular mode by prepending the mode's name to them. To see variables associated with a particular mode, then, make a regex search on the variable name, with M-X apropos-variable. For C mode, we eliminate a lot of false hits with the regex "^c-". When Emacs returns a list of the results, move to that buffer and press Return on any variable that interests you for more information.
To find out what else you can search on, try M-X apropos-command RET apropos RET. "apropos-zippy"? I'll let you examine that one.
A function can, of course, call other functions. This possibility is one of several things that make editing your .emacs file and programming in Emacs Lisp more powerful than using Customize.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Review: Desert of the Heart (Novels #1)
User Review - Virgowriter (Brad Windhauser) - GoodreadsNot the most well written book but it does offer an important look y the pressures lesbians faced in the 70s/80s in this country. The prose wants to parallel religion, gambling, and marriage but could have dug deeper. Still interesting as a historical account. Read full review
