If you're looking to obtain certification in PRINCE2, you've come to the right place. There are two levels of PRINCE2 certification available: Foundation and Practitioner.
PRINCE2 Foundation certification [click here]
This is the entry level PRINCE2 qualification and is usually achieved by taking a 2.5 day classroom course or studying using a CBT product. At the end of the course you must take a 1 hour multiple choice exam containing 75 questions and must score a minimum of 35 correct answers to pass. The UK national average pass rate* for this examination is 97%.
PRINCE2 Practitioner certification [click here]
This is the higher level PRINCE2 qualification and is usually achieved by taking a 2 day classroom course or studying using a CBT product. At the end of the course you must take a 2.5 hour multiple choice exam containing 80 questions and must score a minimum of 44 correct answers to pass. The UK national average pass rate* for this examination is 73%.
A pre-requisite for taking the Practitioner examination is that you must have already passed the Foundation examination.
The most popular way to study for the Practitioner certificate is as part of a combined Foundation & Practitioner course which lasts for 4.5 days and includes both examinations.
On passing either or both of the exams, a certificate is awarded.
*Note: We surpassed the UK national average pass rate by achieving pass rates of 99% and 85% for Foundation and Practitioner examinations (based upon students attending our classroom courses).

Average rating of 4.5 based on 299 reviews
"Knowledge Train were advocating a more targeted approach to pre-work. I wasn't disappointed. The course was logical, progressive and run by an extremely knowledgeable and professional trainer." Peter Eates, Programme Manager, Lloyds Register
"I would like to convey my sincere thanks to you for providing such an excellent and enjoyable course for both the PRINCE2 Foundation & Practitioner. The standard of tuition provided has been very impressive and I am delighted at having passed both exams. I can highly recommend Knowledge Train, having previously attended the Introduction to Project Management one day course earlier this June. Everything was organised in a highly professional manner, yet with a friendly atmosphere geared to getting each candidate through the exam. Thanks once again!" Jeff Preston, Senior Traffic Control Engineer, Transport for London
"People at Knowledge Train set realistic expectations, have very clear objectives for their courses, and work with you to achieve those objectives. You can feel that they are invested in creating a didactic atmosphere that is both relaxing and academically strong. Success in obtaining the certification is just a natural outcome. I would be saying the same even if I had not obtained my PRINCE2 certification" Mounir Ouanaimi, Director of Admissions, Northwestern University in Qatar
"I have taken week long training courses with other training providers in the past but Knowledge Train is exceptional. The one thing that I like about Knowledge Train is the ease and pace at which the PRINCE2 course was delivered. There was no requirement to read the manual from back to back as other course providers would ask you to do. The course delivery was smooth, easy to understand, enjoyable and hardly any pressure. The course tutor was remarkable and took time to ensure that everyone had a good understanding of PRINCE2 in every way possible. I would surely recommend Knowledge Train to my peers." Trish Adeoti, Project Manager, National Policing Improvement Agency
"The PRINCE2 training course was very intensive, but the trainer made it as fun as possible. He gave a lot of guidance in the right direction, the venue was suitably located and the immediate environment was comfortable and quite conducive to studying. Knowledge Train's PRINCE2 training is excellent value for money. I am glad I decided to go with Knowledge Train." Fola Odujinrin, Asset Development Advisor, Thurrock Council
"I found the course well structured, and the trainer extremely well informed – there was a great balance between home learning and class room based examples that led to a successful passing of the exams. I would recommend this course to anyone who wishes to do PRINCE2 – and especially anyone who feels nervous about not having done any classroom based learning for a while." Jessica Weaver, Events Production Manager, Institution of Civil Engineers
"This is just a quick note to say many thanks for your efforts in putting together such a great course. The facilities were good and the pre-course materials were well designed and prepared me well for the course. The course content has given me a better understanding of project management and the skills will be put to good use almost immediately. The course instructor was really good! He structured the content well and took us through the manual and process in a very well organised way.
There is no doubt that you will see me again in the future for the "Practitioner" bit after I have put the new skills to use and have got some more experience!
Once again, many thanks to the entire team for making this course happen." Mark Hawkins, Techology Manager, Merlin
"The course was comprehensive and the instructor was excellent, helpful and always had the answers! I enjoyed the 5 days study. Thanks Knowledge Train for the pleasant environment. The first exam was easy (Foundation) but the Practitioner one is tough and it needs real preparation. The Practitioner exam is an open book but there is no time to look in the book. I recommend the students to answer the two sample exams at least 3 times to be ready. Best" Nasser Mubarak AL-Malki, Director of IT Department, PEIE
"The PRINCE2 Foundation and Practitioner course run by Knowledge Train over 1 week is very intense, however their delivery is professional, tightly run and leaves you with the confidence that you will pass first time. I would recommend to all potential students to have a read through the training material at least 2 weeks before the course start date, as going in cold can be extremely daunting. Having familiarised yourself with the main concepts prior to the course start, it will be much easier to fly through the exams!" Danielle Cobb, Business Analyst/Project Manager
"The course was well structured and the trainer was excellent. The learning environment in terms of the facilities were ideal, and we all really benefitted from the class sizes which meant personal contact with our teacher was maximised. I would recommend Knowledge Train wholeheartedly to anyone interested in PRINCE2." Christopher Wallbridge, Senior Experience Executive, MESH Planning

Approximately 10% of humans with anophthalmia (absent eye) or severe microphthalmia (small eye) show haploid insufficiency due to mutations in SOX2, a SOXB1-HMG box transcription factor. However, at present, the molecular or cellular mechanisms responsible for these conditions are poorly understood. Here, we directly assessed the requirement for SOX2 during eye development by generating a gene-dosage allelic series of Sox2 mutations in the mouse. The Sox2 mutant mice display a range of eye phenotypes consistent with human syndromes and the severity of these phenotypes directly relates to the levels of SOX2 expression found in progenitor cells of the neural retina. Retinal progenitor cells with conditionally ablated Sox2 lose competence to both proliferate and terminally differentiate. In contrast, in Sox2 hypomorphic/null mice, a reduction of SOX2 expression to <40% of normal causes variable microphthalmia as a result of aberrant neural progenitor differentiation. Furthermore, we provide genetic and molecular evidence that SOX2 activity, in a concentration-dependent manner, plays a key role in the regulation of the NOTCH1 signaling pathway in retinal progenitor cells. Collectively, these results show that precise regulation of SOX2 dosage is critical for temporal and spatial regulation of retinal progenitor cell differentiation and provide a cellular and molecular model for understanding how hypomorphic levels of SOX2 cause retinal defects in humans.

Comments about Cleveland Classic 270 Driver:
Took this out today and was immediately impressed with the distance on offer. I have the Classic 270 with a stiff shaft in 9 degrees - strangely it didn't feel light and I could make normal swings without any adjustments. The ball flies off the face on a boring trajectory and because of the deep face you can literally tee it up or down to adjust the flight. Definitely longer than my Titleist 910, but I would say slightly less forgiving. Great price from Direct Golf too.

My atheist friends often have Psalm 14:1 lobbed at them as if the verse ends the conversation like a holy grenade! It says, "The fool has said in his heart there is no God".
But the verse does not mean all atheists are fools. It means anyone who "says in his heart" there is no God is a fool. In other words, anyone who denies God for merely emotional reasons is foolish. An issue this profound is not to be determined by one's psychological state or emotional disposition.
The person who has genuine intellectual questions or objections concerning God's existence is not the biblical definition of a fool. God will honor and answer in the humble quest for truth. The honest inquirer is in a better position before God than the emotionally closed-minded.
Since I'm talking about the Hebraic-Christian Scriptures, they repeatedly say we must humble ourselves before God. Think about it. If God exists, humility is certainly in order in seeking Him. "Draw near to God and He will draw near to you". "Humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God", etc.
This shouldn't be hard for the atheist intellectually. Most of my atheist friends agree that humility is in order in the quest for any truth. Don't you agree?
(On the other hand, I can see how horrible I would feel (at least at first) if, say, Islam was proven to me to be true. I would be forced intellectually and emotionally to acknowledge Allah and Muhammad. I would have to begrudgingly and reluctantly bow before them. That would suck! I would acknowledge Allah's existence, but probably continually resist any relationship or love for him until he smote me!
But I must say that my emotional resistance to Islam is mostly for intellectual reasons! Thankfully, I am confident there is nothing forthcoming in Islam that will serve as an adequate defeater of Christ's claims.)
BTW, I am aware of Christ's injunction against calling anyone a fool, yet he himself did. Keep in mind that Christ is forbidding unwarranted name-calling (literally "empty head") from people who are themselves often foolish!
Sam, first, you are committing a fallacy known as Argumentum Ab Annis. One does not determine the truth or falsehood of a proposition (including moral ones) based on the age or era from which it came, i.e. newer does not necessarily mean truer.
Secondly, neither God nor moral values have changed. In the case of the 10 Commandments, all that has changed is the application of certain moral imperatives. In Christian theology, the civil/ceremonial aspects of the Law (Sabbath laws, eating shellfish, etc) have changed due to (1) the theocracy being no longer extant, and (2) Christ fulfilling those aspects of the Law.
You'll notice that certain moral imperatives transcend the civil/ceremonial aspects of the Law (e.g. murder) and are upheld by the New Testament. So, your post has to do with internal aspects of Christian theology and the application of moral values and duties (Applied Ethics).
Sam, first, you are committing a fallacy known as Argumentum Ab Annis.
That doesn't really seem to be the case to me. I think he is questioning the relevance of the Bible to modern society, and made a case for it. Whether you accept the case he argues or not (and I see that you do not), I don't think the intended message was that the Bible is wrong strictly because it is old; we just aren't beholden to the moral dictates of men who died a couple of millennia (or longer) ago.
Kris, the moral relevance of something should be determined on its own merits. That's why it is a fallacy to fault it based on how old it is. And that's exactly what Sam does ("it represents 2000 year old moral values"). "You ought not lie", "you ought not murder"; both of these moral values are over 2,000 years old. Are they therefore no longer relevant?
BTW, despite what Sam says, the 10 Commandments are much older than 2,000 years!
Kris, the moral relevance of something should be determined on its own merits.
Exactly why the Bible is irrelevant. If the tennets are relevant, they can be evaluated independent of their Biblical context. Most have. Some have survived, and some have not.
Yes, on second thought, it was just a general mistake we all make. He knows the OT predates the NT.
Also, it depends on what you mean by "tenant". Do you mean moral tenant? If so, then the Bible can merely reflect the moral tenants that we universally recognize (do not rape, do not murder, do not steal).
If you mean spiritual tenants, then I would agree that one is free to accept or reject them. One is free to reject God or place as many gods before him as one wishes.
Hmmm... typo on my part. 'Tennet' should read 'tenet'.

PRESS RELEASES Mayor Black Taps Lyons for Papillion Chief Job Lieutenant Whitted Promoted to Deputy Police Chief |
1000 East First Street Papillion, NE 68046-7611 Phone: 402.597.2035 Emergency: Dial 911 After Hours Phone:402.339.3196 Administration Fax: 402.592.9810 Patrol Room Fax: 402.827.3117 |
Letter from Chief of Police
On behalf of the men and women of the Papillion Police Department, welcome to our website!
Our current staffing authorizations include 40 sworn officers and 5 civilian employees. Located within the Omaha metro area, we serve and protect over 18,000 citizens. In 2014, our officers generated or provided response to over 21,000 calls for service. While many other departments throughout the country have resorted to telephone or website incident reporting, we still provide a human response to all requests. Our highest priority is to employ 21st Century policing technology and tactics without shedding our "neighborhood cop" identity. To do this, we strive to hire and retain the best people available.
We are proud of our achievements related to community policing, including participation in Neighborhood Watch Associations, DARE Programs, full-time assignment of School Resource Officers, domestic violence and child abuse response teams and over 35 formal partnerships with businesses, schools, and other area law enforcement agencies. But our bread and butter still lies with the day-to-day functions of our patrol and detective staffs, whose primary focus is crime prevention, problem-solving, and when necessary, apprehension and arrest.
Our Mission and Value statements, as created by our officers, best exemplify our ongoing police department goals:
Mission Statement:
The Papillion Police Department will strive to foster a safe community by responding to crime, addressing community concerns related to safety, and maintaining an effective presence throughout Papillion.
Value Statement:
The Papillion Police Department will achieve its mission by building on officer and community strengths and holding itself accountable for efficiency, competency, and problem solving with honesty, empathy, and fairness.
Although our citizenry should not expect us to prevent or solve all crimes, they should demand and can expect our best effort when police services are requested or needed. I invite you to stop by, send a letter, or e-mail me if you have any suggestions on how we can better serve the community.
Department Motto:
Policing With Pride

How to Know the Value of Your Antiques |
Written by Bill Hanks | ||||||||
 Treasure or Trash? Many individuals love to do antiquing as a hobby or profession. Some do it for the appreciation of old items. Others, do it strictly to make money. They have no emotional ties to any item. It is buy, sell and make a profit in the process. Then there are others, that just like to look. The cost, of items, is too steep for them. Some individuals are expert enough to be considered as appraisers. However, all of these individuals need to follow guidelines, in the world of antiques. 1. Shop at reputable places. There are places that will work a scam on you, if they get the chance. Some people believe, that there are stores that have items, that the owners don't know what they really have. Places like these are small and few. 2. Collect only what you like to display and own. There are some individuals, that will buy items, just to be buying them. Their homes, basements and garages become cluttered with too much. 3. Examine every item closely. Look for cracks, breaks, chips and general damage. If someone tells you that it adds to the value, do not believe them. Antiques, that are in the best condition, are always worth more. Always take the time to look closely at each item your purchase. Besides looking, use your sense of feel as well. 4. Ask a staff person to evaluate your item. However, don't mention that you are looking to sell. Just try to get a fair evaluation of your item. Some individuals will charge a fee for their expertise in doing this for you. You have to decide, if it is worth your money. Good appraisers are well worth the money you pay. 5. Take care of your purchases and antique items. Fine furniture should be kept dry and soiled items off it. Some individuals won't even use regular cleaning chemicals, because it could cause damage. 6. Always double check items like fine furniture, Roseville pottery, Americana pieces, Indian artifacts and fine quilts. Even worn items of this nature could have great value. 7. Try to stay in one field. For example, if dishes is your favorite, stay with it. Some items may cross over from one field to another. However, it is very easy for an individual to get into an unfamiliar area. 8. Storage and Display. Finally, always take the proper care of your items. Someday, they could be owned by another individual or family. When you display an item, try to keep it out of direct sunlight and as dry as possible. Antiques can be a great hobby and a great way to make an income. However, you need to know what you are doing.
... Great guidelines on getting to know the value of your antiques. Thanks for sharing. |

... I love collecting. We put them on display around the house and sell some when we start to run out of room. I like collecting cups like the Mcdonald cups or those old cups with smurfs on them. When the collection is too big, I sell some, for profit of course. Its a great way to make some money and make room for something new. |

He went to work that day and did not know
This shift he served would bring such sorrow
This call to duty would be his last
His time on earth is now his past
God set this day as his time to go
Rest in peace Officer Morrissy, now a hero
He gave the ultimate sacrifice
With integrity and pride he paid the price
His family, friends and colleagues will mourn
As an angel in heaven he is now reborn
His golden heart stopped beating
Hardworking hands at rest
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the very best.

"The Final Inspection"
The policeman stood and faced his God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining.
Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now, policeman.
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My church have you been true?"
The policeman squared his shoulders and said, "No, Lord, I guess I ain't,
Because those of us who carry badges can't always be a saint.
I've had to work most Sundays,
and at times my talk was rough,
and sometimes I've been violent,
Because the streets are awfully tough.
But I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep....
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep.
And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fear.
If you've a place for me here,
Lord, It needn't be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't.....I'll understand.
There was silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod.
As the policeman waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, policeman,
You've borne your burdens well.
Come walk a beat on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in hell."

Officer Morrissy,
Rest well in the arms of the Lord.
To Your Family:
Feel His presence as God answers the prayers of many who have fallen to their knees on your behalf. Since the day of my son's death, I have carried every law enforcement officer and their family in my heart.
Every morning I go to my knees. During that time I pray, "Lord, Be with all law enforcement officers. Keep them safe and free from harm. They are Your soldiers on the front line of the battle against evil. If one should fall this day - wrap their family in your loving arms. Surround them with Your angels, loving family, friends, neighbors and caring people to comfort them. Ease their pain. Help them to mourn well. In Jesus' name and for Your Glory, Amen."
I have lifted you and your family to God every morning for over three years. Feel those prayers. God is with you, He knows and will ease your pain.

text: While shooting video of Governor Steve Beshear's visit and taking photos at the Pritchard Community Center Sunday Feb.1. 2009 in Elizabethtown, Kentucky a man approached me in regular clothes with a gun strapped to his waist in plain view and, in what I perceived as a very arrogant attitude, asked me why I took his photo and why I didn't ask for his permission. I explained to him this was a public event in a public place and I didn't need his permission and then he proceeded to tell me who he was. He told me he was Bryce Shumate from the Radcliff Police Department and I asked him, facetiously, if I was under arrest and then, in my opinion, he really got bossy and even more arrogant and intimidating. Maybe Mr.Shumate was having a bad day, but I've been all over the state of Kentucky in too many cities and counties to count, shooting video and taking photos of folks like President Barack Obama, Fist Lady Michelle Obama, Senator Mitch McConnell, Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Ex Governor Ernie Fletcher, Congressman Ben Chandler, Congressman John Yarmuth. Ex Congress Woman Anne Northup and many others. I also shot photos and videotaped President Barack Obama when he announced his candidacy for President of the United States of America in Springfield,Ill. While shooting video and taking photos at these events I've had to interface with the Capitol Police, The Secret Service, the State Police and the local Police and I have to say with all honesty they were all great and very respectful. I really do wish I could say the same For Bryce Shumate, But I can't. I realize that some may question why I took the time to blog this and here my answer. I don't care what Bryce Shumate thinks of me, nor does he frighten or intimidate me, I just want to put it on the record how I felt Mr. Shumate treated me and if this happens to some one else down the line, there will be a record of it and just for the record Virgil Willoughby of the Elizabethtown, Kentucky Police Department was very professional, respecful and helpful.

Well guys, I'm looking for a skin designer for my Pok?mon game in development. I'm going to post the template from the Classified Ad I've already made here, to spare some time out.
Project Name:
Pok?mon: Untold Tales
I didn't make a lot of progress yet. I've a intro splashscreen made, and the first lecture of the professor.
I'm not going to use the original NDS/GBA game art. But I'm going to use original art made by my pixel artists.
I want to allow the players to customize their characters, by letting them choose their own hairstyle, different clothes, etc.
I'm trying to do my best to break out of all these Pok?mon games which use the same source.
Here, I'm presenting you a video of the intro when you first start the game up. (Watch in 720p HD and preferably on full screen.):
Project Goal:
Freeware, ofcourse, as it is a fangame.
Skills Needed:
I'm looking for a person who is capable of designing a nice skin. It has to be a skin which is compatible for fullscreen. The skin also needs to suit the style of Pok?mon / anime, so something Pok?mon related would be cool. The skin has to be original and cannot be given away to other people. I've designed one myself but I'm not satisfied with mine.
The only thing I can give you is your well deserved credit on the hub.

After 17 days, "The Hobbit" is performing well ahead of 2001′s "The Fellowship of the Ring," which had earned $189.3 million at the same point in its run (though that number climbs to about $260 million after accounting for inflation), but it still trails the 17-day cumes of "The Two Towers" ($243.6 million), and "The Return of the King" ($272.8 million). Notably, those films did not have 3D or IMAX surcharges boosting their totals.This is not meant to imply that "The Hobbit" is underperforming. Like so many modern Hollywood tentpoles, The Hobbit's strong business overseas is the main component of its success. On Friday, the film smashed through the $600 million mark worldwide, and by the time the ball drops, its worldwide total will likely have surpassed $700 million. That's a treasure that would impress even Smaug.In second place, "Django Unchained" galloped away with a terrific $30.7 million over the Friday-to-Sunday period, bringing its total to $64 million since its Christmas day debut. The Quentin Tarantino-directed Western, which The Weinstein Co. says cost $87 million to produce, has performed remarkably well for a controversial, R-rated film in a season often dominated by family-friendly/inspirational tales. Last year, many blamed a poor release date for the lackluster performance of "Girl with the Dragon Tattoo," which settled for $102.5 million total, but "Django's" fantastic opening week counters those assumptions.GET EW ON YOUR TABLET: Subscribe today and get instant access!Given its robust debut, "Django Unchained" will very likely become Tarantino's highest-grossing film ahead of 2009′s "Inglorious Basterds," which earned $120.5 million total. Weinstein has every reason to believe it will reach that level. Not only was Django's $10,195 per theater average (from 3,010 theaters) the best in the Top 10, it earned an "A-" CinemaScore grade from polled audiences, which were 56 percent male.After winning Christmas day and spending its first three days atop the box office, "Les Miserables" finished the weekend in third place with $28.0 million. Universal's $61 million adaptation of the beloved operetta (which is, in turn, an adaptation of Victor Hugo's 1862 novel) has earned a terrific $67.4 million in its first six days (plus another $48.7 million internationally), and although it has exhibited some frontloadedness due to up-front excitement from passionate fans, its "A" CinemaScore grade (and ample awards buzz) should help it hold up in the weeks to come."Les Miserables" has already outgrossed the last December-released musical, Nine, which flopped with just $19.7 million in 2009, and it will quickly surpass "Dreamgirls," which opened in December 2006 and scored $103.4 million total, as well. Only time will tell whether "Les Mis" can match the impressive $170.7 million total of Chicago, which began a platform release in December 2002 and rode a wave of awards attention to box office glory, but for now, its prospects don't look miserable at all.Fox's Billy Crystal/Bette Midler vehicle "Parental Guidance" survived poor reviews and earned a not-bad $14.8 million over the weekend — the exact same amount it earned in its first three days of release. After six days, Guidance has earned $29.6 million against a modest $25 million budget, and with an "A-" CinemaScore grade and a dearth of family-oriented competition, it should hold up nicely in the new year.Paramount's $60 million Tom Cruise thriller "Jack Reacher" rounded out the Top 5 with $14.0 million, marking a 10 percent drop from its inauspicious debut. After ten days, the novel adaptation has earned a rather unimpressive $44.7 million.1. The Hobbit — $32.9 million2. Django Unchained — $30.7 million3. Les Miserables — $28.0 million4. Parental Guidance — $14.8 million5. Jack Reacher — $14.0 millionIn milestone news, "Skyfall" reached the $1 billion mark at the worldwide box office this weekend. It is the fourteenth film to ever reach that mark.Next week, "Texas Chainsaw 3D" will attempt to cut down "The Hobbit" and "Django Unchained." Will it prevail? Check back to EW to find out.

It is devoid of information because he hasn't a clue when the book may be released in the United States. If you go through the comments section of his news section, you'll see that he has answered questions about when the book may be released in the USA; he's as baffled and frustrated as you are. I understand the frustration, as I would have preferred to get it on Kindle as well but wasn't able and couldn't wait. I ordered from bookdepository.uk and enjoyed the book thoroughly.

Our friend, Blaine Watson, recently sent us this note: Gary, Watch out for honey. If I buy honey it is always raw, unpasteurized and ideally from the producer but most health stores sell really raw honey. There is a huge upsurge of urban beekeeping as well and it is easy to raise bees and take care of them so you can also produce your own.
Blaine sent a link to the November 9th, 2011 CNN article entitled "Most honey sold in U.S. grocery stores not worthy of its name" that said:
Photo from CNN's "Most honey sold in U.S. grocery stores not worthy of its name"
Most of the honey sold in chain stores across the country doesn't meet international quality standards for the sweet stuff, according to a Food Safety News analysis released this week.
One of the nation's leading melissopalynologists analyzed more than 60 jugs, jars and plastic bears of honey in 10 states and the District of Columbia for pollen content, Food Safety News said.
He found that pollen was frequently filtered out of products labeled "honey." "The removal of these microscopic particles from deep within a flower would make the nectar flunk the quality standards set by most of the world's food safety agencies," the report says. "Without pollen there is no way to determine whether the honey came from legitimate and safe sources."
Among the findings:
• No pollen was found in 76 percent of samples from grocery stores including TOP Food, Safeway, Giant Eagle, QFC, Kroger, Metro Market, Harris Teeter, A&P, Stop & Shop and King Shoppers.
• No pollen was found in 100 percent of samples from drugstores including Walgreens, Rite-Aid and CVS Pharmacy.
• The anticipated amount of pollen was found in samples bought at farmers markets, co-ops and stores like PCC and Trader Joe's.
Why does it matter where your honey comes from? An earlier Food Safety News investigation found that at least a third of all the honey consumed in the United States was likely smuggled from China and could be tainted with illegal antibiotics and heavy metals.
Fortunately Merri and I are surrounded by beekeepers in North Carolina, Florida and Ecuador.

Here is a sweet funky business idea that can help save the world.
Yesterday's message was the first in this three part series on thinking outside the box or funkiness thought. See Funky Global Business here.
When I lived in the Cotswolds in Gloucestershire, one of my neighbors was the painter, Kit Williams. He was definitely funky by the definition that he thought (and painted) out of the box. In the late 1970s he created a book Masquerade, a children's book that sparked a worldwide treasure hunt for a jeweled golden hare, that he had created and hidden.
Hundreds of thousands of copies sold and became the inspiration for a genre of books known today as armchair treasure hunts.
I have autographed copies of Masquerade and Kit's next book on my bookshelf. I pull them out once in awhile to remind myself of the power of funkiness.
Kit's next book was originally called the Book of Bees… so in a way he made a fortune from being funky from bees.
Now perhaps you can as well… earn a fortune from funkiness and bees.
Big problems create big opportunity. The biggest problem is preserving our environment so one my most fulfilling accomplishments was working with Jyske Bank to create an entirely green investment portfolio that rose 266.3% in its first year.
The money was nice… but more important was the statement…. "gaining wealth and improving the environment can go hand in hand."
One huge environmental problem that humanity faces is the loss of bees.
I have written about this problem many times… originally in an early 2006 article entitled "International Investments in Bee the World".
Since that time I have been staying tuned for business ideas that involved bees. This was why I was so delighted when our son, Jake, introduced us to the Beehaus.
A press release about Beehaus said: The bees seemed to like their ultra-modern home as they buzzed happily in and out of the postbox-like slot in the grey and yellow 'beehaus' on the roof of state-backed conservation agency Natural England's London offices.
The agency's chief scientist Tom Tew said if more urban residents kept honeybees, it would increase the insects' numbers and make them more resilient to attacks from disease and pests which threaten their survival.
"We need to recognize that if we want plants to flourish, we need healthy populations of insects to sustain them," Tew said.
"There's no reason why our towns and cities should exist as wildlife deserts — wildlife can thrive when we design our urban areas with nature in mind and the 'beehaus' is a great example of how easy it is for anyone to bring the natural world closer to their doorstep." The number of honeybees in Britain has dropped by up to 15 percent in the past two years, according to government figures, as they face a growing range of diseases and wild flowers they feed on are wiped out by urban development.
Bee keeping in the middle of a city. What a funky idea!
Yet this an idea that is scientifically sound. Urban areas are better for bees than agricultural areas for several reasons. There are more pesticides in agricultural areas. In urban areas all the concrete keeps the environment warmer so flowers bloom longer.
There is an article in the Guardian Newspaper entitled "Hi, honey I'm home – the new hobby that's creating a buzz in Britain's towns and cities" Here is an excerpt: New plastic hive promises affordable beekeeping. The humble native honeybee has been dying out in recent years due to disease, but it may have found an unlikely ally in a creature which shares a reputation for busyness: the urban dweller. Apiarist courses in many places are over-subscribed and membership of beekeeping associations has shot up with the increased awareness of the plight of the productive pollinator. Those without gardens are increasingly using rooftops for their hives.
With promises of 50 jars of homemade honey a year they hope to tempt the busy townie who dreams of the good life. And with the support of Natural England, the agency responsible for safeguarding England's natural environment, its green credentials seem intact. Certainly, there is a market.
"There has been a definite shift in the demographics of people coming into beekeeping," said Tim Lovett, chairman of the British Beekeepers' Association, which has seen membership increase by 3,000 to 14,500 in the last 18 months.
"Many of our new members are in urban settings, the worried wealthy, so to speak. They are environmentally aware people, who would like to do a lot more than they are able because of their busy lives.
"They are the concerned working families, the professionals under pressure from their kids who are getting the story at school. And now they are getting the message. Beekeeping is not incompatible with busy family and working life."
But with urban beekeeping comes responsibility. There are fears would-be beekeepers, seduced by the apparent simplicity of the new hive, could order on a whim with no thought for the practicalities. This could lead to the spread of diseases, the death of their bees or huge swarms in their neighbours' gardens.
"These are legitimate concerns," said Dr Tom Tew, chief scientist for Natural England, "and the first thing we would stress is that anyone thinking of keeping bees should speak to their local beekeeper association.
"But," he said of the Beehaus, "we support anything that helps promote the honeybee."
The Beehaus has been developed by Johannes Pauls and his company, Omlet, previously created a plastic chicken coop, called Eglu, that sparked a wave of urban chicken keeping in England. Omlet supplies everything including a full bee suit for about $800. Bees cost between $100 and $200. They will provide training parties as well.
So where is the sweet funky business opportunity?
Merri and I have been doing all we can here at our farm to encourage bees.
We continually buy the local honey and give it away as gifts to encourage local bee keepers. Here are two and a half quarts we bought at the farmers market before we left for the winter.
We also grow sunflowers.
A lot of them because…
they attract bees. Often two bees will be on each blossom, like these busy guys I photoed.
Not to mention the bouquets I get to put on Merri's desk.
Here is the sweet funky business potential.
Beehaus is just in the UK. You may want to export Beehauses from there.
Or create and sell something like it your own… in your urban area. The need is global.
Just the honey sales make sense.
I bought the three jars of local honey above and paid $12 a quart. (But this was at the Farmers' Market in Ashe County, where prices are very low.) If one hive produced 50 quarts, at $12 a quart this would generate $600 income a year on an investment of maybe $1.000 plus an hour's work a week. 60% is a pretty good cash flow to work with.
There are a multitude of fringe opportunities that can be built around this sweet, funky, simple idea… that creates profit and is good for the environment.
How can we start a sweet, funky global business? Certainly our emailed course on how to have a global internet business can help.
Yet there is more. Bees may be your thing or not.
Do what you love.
Merri and I love nature and honey… so this idea might make sense… for us.
Though a funky bee keeping business will not be for everyone… we can let bees tell us how to find our business.
Our son, Jake, introduced this idea it to me… and by happenstance, I had felt compelled to take these shots of Foxglove and bees in our front yard.
These flowers have this intelligence to become an object of such beauty that bees fall in love.
Here is one dancing in her sweet nectar… the flower and the bee in a romance …apart but as one in a dance of life. Not knowing that in their worship they are also pollinating the world. They do not do this because they think this is what to do. They are led by the divine intellect of the heart… filling their being with joy.
You can let that same infinite wisdom in your heart lead you to turn your passion into a profit.
Sound pretty funky?

Absorb through Osmosis
Merri and I are in our 45th year of organizing courses, seminars and newsletters about international and Super Thinking lifestyles. The importance of this sharing… by like minded souls… was reinforced when a delegate from a course sent an email that said:
My Dearest Merri and Gary, Thank you for your most gracious hospitality last weekend. I am just thrilled at being a part of your group. You and Gary were exactly as I imagined you to be, warm friendly, kind, considerate, genuine, helpful, fun, sincere, what else can I say……I felt so comfortable in your presence and learned so much in your course. I was sad to leave the farm that Sunday afternoon. You made us all feel so welcome and cared about. You were so kind to make arrangements for a ride with the other delegates from the Charlotte Airport. They were so nice to me and so helpful, by the time the weekend was over I felt like they were my long lost brothers. Monday morning we all had breakfast at the airport together and I was so sad to see them go, I was sad the weekend was over, perhaps sad is not the right word for how I was feeling perhaps Gratitude is a better way to describe it. Grateful for having the opportunity to share the weekend with such wonderful, like minded Human Beings, in the beautiful mountains of North Carolina. Thank you Merri and Gary. Thanks to you I now have new hope and a new direction to move forward in my life. I know by attending your classes and conferences that through education and due diligence I will make the right choices.
This delegate's comments about "belonging and feeling like a brother" to the other delegates is a wonderful refrain we have heard from our readers, year after year.
24 years ago Merri and I created a way that readers can join us to be immersed in a year-long learning program through our International Club.
The ideas behind this program began all those years ago in Vienna, Austria while we were conducting a course there. One of our older delegates, had some sort of attack. The first fear was heart trouble. Several delegates took him to the hospital. Others stayed with him there. I don't think that delegate was alone for a minute!
What impressed Merri and me was that no one asked the delegates to help this man.
The friendships of delegates sharing many courses had just grown so strong that it was a natural reaction, just as if a family member was ill. Fortunately, it was only travel fatigue and the delegate didn't miss a session of the course!
When you join our International Club you become part of a special family. The very first member to join the club all those years ago wrote, Thank you for the enjoyable and informative courses. I am pleased to be part of your international family and look forward to continuing my education at the next course.
His feeling struck a familiar chord. It has always been one of my greatest satisfactions to see how much fun delegates have getting together, sharing information and making friendships as we learn how to improve our health and increase our wealth.
The courses draw like-minded souls. For this reason some delegates come back again and again. They come to learn, but also to be with their many friends made at the courses. When like-minded souls get together again and again to discuss a common purpose, magic happens! I can't explain it in any other way-but it is true.
In a way our meetings are almost like family reunions. Perhaps it is getting together and reflecting on what has been said and what has been happening.
Learning with those who are also interested in the world creates thoughts that multiply the value of what we gain. This is hard to describe but results are most powerful and wonderful! This is to me is as important as the great financial benefit of attending many of our courses.
Another savings: Lifestyle for Two.
We want couples! As a member of the program, you are entitled to bring another person to every single course or tour. The cost for that extra person will be ZERO! You can bring whomever you wish. Bring your spouse, a friend, son or daughter, partner, accountant, adviser. You can bring the same person each time or a different person, whomever you choose to accompany you. (Accommodations and air fares relating to the courses are not included for members, delegates or their guests.)
The International Club fee of $1,799 is less than the price of two seminars.
I invite you to be a member of the International Club which allows you and your guest of your choice to attend all of these courses and tours.
Let's prosper in these times of change. Won't you join us in this exciting club and share Merri's and my lifestyle for the next year? Join us at our farms and visit Ecuador. We look forward to seeing you at as many courses as possible and sharing this wonderful world of abundance and well being with you!

quote:Gov. Rick Perry will use his State of the State address to call for amending the Texas Constitution to allow the state to return tax money it collects but doesn't spend back to its citizens, according to an excerpt of the speech released to The Associated Press.
quote:Perry, who is scheduled to deliver the speech Tuesday morning to a joint session of the Legislature, will tell lawmakers that he has "never bought into the notion that if you collect more, you need to spend more."
quote:While he has made cutting taxes his chief mantra since lawmakers headed back into session on Jan. 8, calls to limit government spending are nothing new for Perry. Last April, he unveiled a "budget compact" that proposed a constitutional amendment limiting state spending increases to only enough to cover the cost of population growth and inflation. That issue hasn't yet been taken up the Legislature.
quote:Tuesday marks the seventh time Perry has given the State of the State since taking over for George W. Bush as governor in December 2000. Two years ago, he declared there would be "no sacred cows" immune to deep budget cuts as the state struggled with a $27 billion budget deficit amid an economy still feeling the effects of The Great Recession.
quote:The economic picture has since brightened substantially, with sales tax receipts up, unemployment down and the oil and gas industry humming. Yet early draft budgets proposed in the Texas House and Senate were so austere that they would leave about $5.5 billion in projected state revenue unspent
quote:Will be interested to see how this works... Texans don't pay state income tax, so they would be returning sales tax or property tax
quote:I'm curious too. Isn't property tax set by municipalities or counties?
quote:sales tax that is being returned, how would you calculate whom gets what % back
quote:We need to ship all the liberals up North and let them create their own gun free, violence free, gov't dependency, gay loving Utopia they dream of.
quote:nd then if it is sales tax that is being returned, how would you calculate whom gets what % back
quote:Reduce sales tax for a certain percentage of time
quote: Im pretty sure... And then if it is sales tax that is being returned, how would you calculate whom gets what % back
