I think college would be a great college for prospective students who are interested in science. Not that this is all the school has to offer but I think it is especially great for this major in this area. I visited this school and I got a feeling of family and love. I did apply to this school. I applied because I am very interested and I would love to go here. I recently found out that I will be living on campus this summer to be a part of their summer science program. I am so excited! This really does seem like a great school. I encourage everyone to consider it!

From the initial planning stages it is clear that whoop-tee-doo was the order of the day, we're going to war for the express purpose of building the legacy and the giant ego of one chimp in charge.A booster for the half witted maniac to show his mommy and daddy he's all growed up.This debacle in Iraq has done more than strain our Military effectiveness.It's onset was based on cooked intelligence and the desire of one loose cannon (smirky boy)to play the school yard bully.The world at large views the US as freebooters and usurpers.Evermore they are turning their backs and who can blame them.Soon we will be alone in the fight and more and more of our richest national assets(our youth) will be wasted.We had Saddam contained within the two no fly zones and sooner or later his people were going to rectify his behavior,that charge should have been left to them.We needed to bide our time but instead broke the mirror and are facing far more than seven years bad luck.Our accomplishments in Iraq are minuscule compared to the irreparable damage thats been inflicted on the Iraqis and upon our own Troops,not to mention our national psyche.The war has become divisive and secreted to such an extent that we are in near disconnect with the cost until directly affected by the Flag draped coffin of a relative.The rallying cry of our AWOL/LYING leader is go shopping to show your patriotism,but do not seek to honor those coming home for burial.If you seek to view the caskets at Dover Air Base,you will be branded a terrorist.The Pentagons leadership has enabled a moronic zealot to destroy the honor of our once proud nation and reduced our international stature to that of thugs and subverter's of sovereignty world wide.Gates is a lunatic if he thinks this insane notion of Soft Power will yield anything but a larger bomb crater to throw our national health and worth into.WE ARE NO LONGER TRUSTED ON THE WORLD STAGE!War is not a soft proposition,it is bloody and cruel and we'd do well to wage it as such,and resolve it ,or get the hell out while we can.

Saturday, October 01
Bronco Stadium/Lyle Smith Field
Attendance: 34,098
Boise, ID (Sports Network) - Kellen Moore threw for 142 yards and two touchdowns while Doug Martin ran for two scores, leading fourth-ranked Boise State in a 30-10 defeat of Nevada.
Moore completed 19-of-33 passes and was intercepted twice, but the turnovers didn't end up costing the Broncos (4-0), who held the Wolf Pack to 182 total yards and off the board until the first minute of the fourth quarter.
Martin finished with 126 yards on the ground to help Boise State extend its home winning streak to 34 games.
"Extremely happy with how good our defense played," said Boise State head coach Chris Petersen. "To hold these guys to three points late into the fourth quarter, I don't think anybody thought that would happen."
Nevada starting quarterback Tyler Lantrip completed only 5-of-16 passes for 50 yards with an interception. Sophomore Mason Magleby led the Wolf Pack (1-3) to a touchdown in the final minute, when it was far too late for them to avoid a second straight loss.
Boise State drew out its lead gradually. Moore's 21-yard touchdown pass to D.J. Harper midway through the first quarter put the Broncos on the scoreboard, and they had a chance to tack on more points when J.C. Percy intercepted Lantrip deep in Nevada territory early in the second quarter.
The opportunity was ruined when Moore was picked off by Jeremiah Green, but the Broncos' defense forced Nevada into a three-and-out. Moore was intercepted again on Boise State's next possession, but again Nevada didn't pick up a first down.
Boise State didn't waste its next chance. Moore's passing and Martin's running led the Broncos to a 1st-and-goal at the four. Martin ran for a yard, and two plays later Moore found Matt Miller for a score with 5:51 left in the half.
After Nevada punted, the Broncos added on another touchdown -- this time a five-yard Martin run with 1:24 remaining. The failed two-point conversion held the Broncos to a 20-0 lead at the break.
Boise State extended its lead to 27 on the opening possession of the third quarter -- a four-play march capped by Martin's 43-yard run.
Dan Goodale added a 31-yard field goal on the Broncos' next touch, and Nevada never caught up. The Wolf Pack struggled offensively the whole game, converting only 2-of-14 third downs and not exceeding six plays on any of their first 11 drives.
"The offense was horrific," said Nevada head coach Chris Ault. "I thought our defense played hard all game but our offense put our defense in a hole that whole first half. Our defense never had a chance."
When Nevada finally broke through, 12 seconds into the fourth quarter, it was a 10-play, 81-yard march that didn't end up in the end zone. The Wolf Pack reached the Boise State four-yard line, but consecutive incompletions led to a 21-yard Allen Hardison field goal.
Magleby took over on Nevada's next possession, which ended in a punt. But he did lead the visitors to their only touchdown -- a 53-yard strike to Rishard Matthews with 46 seconds to go.

For 25 years, The Youth Association of Classical Music (YACM) has given young artistes a platform to show their talent while using innovative methods to get the young interested in Carnatic music. Here's a look at YACM's growth and its impact on the Carnatic music scene
Today we know the Youth Association for Classical Music (YACM) as an association for young musicians. But it was quite novel when it began in 1985. It was formed when a few youngsters from the Vivekananda College felt the need for a forum dedicated exclusively to Carnatic Music.
Encouraging young talent
It was a very different atmosphere back then. There were few opportunities for young musicians; no festivals to showcase their talent; Even the music season did not feature many slots fro juniors, unlike today when youngsters are getting many openings to catch the eye.
Enter YACM. The organisation started with the objective of providing more concert opportunities to deserving youth. Apparently there was a time when every sabha would ask an applicant (for a concert) if he or she had performed in YACM events. Such was the benchmark of quality that the association set.
Almost every top Carnatic musician today had their first few performances thanks to YACM.It did not stop with providing concert opportunities. It also came up with many novel ideas to bring more crowds to the concert halls. Its innovative methods to reach out to more rasikas led to many turning up for youth concerts resulting in a new kind of concert culture that did not compromise on tradition: one that we know as the contemporary concert experience.
Popularising Carnatic music
YACM brought out a four-page-magazine, Dhwani, to be distributed to the rasikas. It contained information about the artists, small games and puzzles related to Carnatic music to keep the audience engaged before and after the concerts. It also had many interesting anecdotes, tidbits, small notes and articles to help the rasikas understand the nuances of music better.
Every concert of YACM was presided over by a senior artiste who would give their comments and views on the concert, which would be printed in the next day's Dhwani. This constructive criticism highlighted both positive and negative aspects. Even the artistes had to wait with the rasikas to open the Dhwani to know what the feedback was.
The tremendous increase in the number of demonstrations and workshops after the launch of YACM is probably one of its biggest contributions.There used to be several lec-dems, lec-cons, educative sessions, and workshops involving a wide range of artists and numerous creative topicsThe fact that an organisation of such enormity was being run so efficiently, not by the highly experienced, but by growing musicians was encouraged with great fondness by great vidvans and vidushis.
In addition, YACM also designed a number of games: Akshara Andadhi, Thala Tharangini, Svara Jam... all designed to promote the learning, understanding and assimilating of Carnatic Music in a casual and relaxed manner. The main objective was to create an environment where learning was fun, easy and mutual. These games were so interesting and educative that curious rasikas flocked to catch just a glimpse of what was happening.
The forum provided a platform for musicians to exchange cassettes, share thoughts and ideas and sometimes even for heated arguments, all stemming from their passion for music. It gave students the freedom to ask questions and clear their doubts with senior musicians.
Innovative programmes
BAR (Build-a-Rasika) was one of the programmes introduced to spread awareness about Carnatic Music among the youth. This programme aims to impart basic knowledge of the system and to get people involved in the art form and has reached more than 100 schools across Tamil Nadu .
Another mega event that caught people's attention was YACM's Millennium show. A grand event organised to welcome the new millennium, it saw six generations of musicians coming together to pay tribute to Carnatic Music.
The event included artistes like the great Semmangudi Srinivasa Iyer who inaugurated the show to about 500 school students singing Maithreem Bhajatha as the grand finale.
This event saw many new elements in Carnatic music world: a big screen showing the programmes outside the overflowing venue, PowerPoint presentations and clippings of great masters, professional lighting, stage and sound set up, walkie-talkies to communicate with each other across the auditorium, a flow chart prepared for almost every minute, a professional and aggressive approach towards advertising and media, publicity. This event also saw tickets being sold in black for the first time!
YACM is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year and the celebrations will be held at the Music Academy from the August 21-29.
The Silver jubilee celebrations of YACM will be held at the Music Academy from August 21-29 with a variety of interesting programmes like kutcheris, presentations, plays, talk shows, Namasamkeerthanam, lec-dems, music carnival, competitions and games.

Rithvik Raja is the current president of YACM
What they say?
Vellore Ramabadhran, Mridanga Vidvan: It feels great to see such organisations working to promote young talent in classical music. The encourage given to budding artists will help in nurturing musical talent amongst youngsters.
T.K. Murthy, Mridanga Vidvan: It has been a sincere effort from many of these musicians to make music grow along with young people. We did not have such platform in our earlier days. Budding musicians should make use of such organizations and shine.
Suguna Pusurhothaman, Vocalist: YACM reminds me of my school days. We had special music classes for those interested in Carnatic music but no organizations to act as good platforms to present concerts. These days, there are many forums to provide an opportunity to perform for budding musicians, and YACM has played an important part in making this possible.
R. Vedavalli, Senior Vocalist: I am glad to see young people working for Carnatic music. With so many distractions in today's world, one can be proud that youngsters are shouldering huge responsibilities. The respect with which they treat veterans and senior musicians will definitely take them to great heights.
N. Vijay Siva, Founder Secretary of YACM: We had a great time setting up YACM and starting out with its activities and had a lot of fun organizing such activities.
R.K Shriram Kumar, Founder Treasurer of YACM: The first thing that comes to my mind when I think of YACM is the togetherness that we shared as a group. Be it with his own colleagues or with the senior musicians like KVN, Semmangudi, etc.
Sangeetha Sivakumar, Executive Committee Member of YACM: I had just moved to Chennai from Kerala and YACM really helped me feel at home. There were a lot of discussions and exchange of views which I cherish till date.
Amritha Murali, Ex Vice-President of YACM: I still remember how we all used to fight at our meetings. The moment the meeting was over, all baggage would be shed and it would all be fine again. That was a great quality.

Now enjoy the bestselling book Wild At Heart in a convenient audio CD format!
John Eldredge believes that God designed men to be dangerous. Simply look at the dreams and desires written in the heart of every boy: To be a hero, to be a warrior, to live a life of adventure and risk. Sadly, most men abandon those dreams and desires--aided by a Christianity that feels like nothing more than pressure to be a "nice guy."
It is no wonder that many men avoid church, and those who go are often passive and bored to death. In this provocative book, Eldredge gives women a look inside the true heart of a man and gives men permission to be what God designed them to be--dangerous, passionate, alive, and free.

Born: March 30, 1979
When Norah Jones released her debut disc, Come Away With Me, on Blue Note Records in February 2002, the then 22-year-old singer had no idea the album would be a best-seller. In fact, she kept her expectations low. "I like having low expectations, 'cause then if something turns out well, you're always surprised in a good way," says Jones at Sear Studios in New York while doing the final mixes on her new album.
As it turns out, Jones enjoyed an abundance of surprises. A runaway hit, Come Away With Me became a multi-Grammy winner, multi-platinum seller and opened the door for her to perform around the world with her band. Her producer Arif Mardin surmises that the CD was a tipping-point album. "People were ready for heartfelt music," he says, while working with Jones on the mixes. "Norah is in the vanguard of another kind of pop music listeners have been yearning for. We're now in a period of time where listeners are looking for real artists."...

Healthy living, herbal remedies and DIY natural beauty.
You may not hear about Candida overgrowth as much anymore, but there's more evidence than ever that this syndrome is real and is often associated with other gut problems that cause a wide variety of symptoms throughout the body.
Back when I was beginning my naturopathic medical education in the late 1990s, everyone was talking about Candida yeast overgrowth. The terms "chronic candidiasis," "yeast syndrome," and "intestinal candidiasis" were the labels most often used for this condition, in which yeasts that belong to the genus Candida (especially Candida albicans) overgrow in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. This Candida overgrowth, essentially a chronic, low-grade Candida yeast infection of the intestines, was believed to cause a wide variety of symptoms in virtually every body system.
At that time, there was very little research on yeast overgrowth in the intestines. It was known then, just as it is known today, that Candida yeasts normally live on the skin and mucous membranes, including those of the GI tract, without causing infection. Conventionally trained physicians were (and still are) taught that Candida yeasts found in the gut, even if they are found in abnormally large numbers, are not causally related to symptoms or disease, do not constitute a health hazard, and do not require treatment.[13]
There is small but growing body of scientific evidence, however, that disputes these assumptions. The recent research indicates that yeast overgrowth in the intestines does occur and is associated with a variety of symptoms and other health conditions which improve with antifungal treatment.
For example, Candida overgrowth of the GI tract was found in recent studies to:
• Promote the development of food allergies by increasing intestinal permeability and affecting immune function.[1,2] • Aggravate inflammation not only in the gut but in tissues all throughout the body, increasing the risk of allergies and autoimmune diseases.[3,6] • Directly correlate with the amount of inflammation and severity of symptoms in patients with ulcers, Crohn's disease, and ulcerative colitis.[4,5,6] • Increase with the use of antibiotics, especially when there is already inflammation in the intestines.[6] • Increase with the use of proton pump inhibitors.[7] • Cause the same symptoms as small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) when it occurs in the small intestine.[7] SIBO symptoms include abdominal pain, chest pain, belching, bloating, fullness, indigestion, nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, gas, malabsorption, and vitamin deficiencies. • Promote inflammation in the lungs.[8] • Occur more commonly in people with psoriasis and other inflammatory skin disorders.[9] • Occur more commonly in people with chronic fatigue syndrome.[10]
Furthermore, people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) have more antibodies in their blood to Candida albicans.[11] The severity of IBS symptoms is directly associated with levels of those antibodies.[11] People with "medically unexplained symptoms" who also score high on a standardized Candida questionnaire called the Fungus Related Disease Questionnaire-7 also have higher levels of antibodies against Candida albicans.[12] These people often have a history of frequent or long-term antibiotic use along with symptoms like frequent yeast infections, sugar cravings, and fatigue.[12] Higher levels of antibodies against Candida albicans indicates the immune system is hypersensitive to the yeast or may simply reflect greater exposure to it (due to Candida yeast overgrowth).[11]
Candida is less in the spotlight today, I believe, because of the fact that conventional medicine has long denied the existence of chronic candidiasis and therefore the overall body research on it is still relatively small.[13] In addition, I think we hear less about Candida because we now have greater knowledge of the entire intestinal microbiota (which includes fungi and bacteria) and the gut barrier system, as well as better ways of diagnosing problems related to gastrointestinal function, including DNA analysis of the GI microbiota.[14]
With this knowledge comes greater understanding of all the problems that can arise when these aspects of gut health become dysfunctional, including not only yeast overgrowth, but SIBO, leaky gut syndrome (increased intestinal permeability), and intestinal dysbiosis. Nowadays, with more sophisticated testing methods and greater understanding of all these conditions, we often see Candida yeast overgrowth occurring in conjunction with SIBO, leaky gut syndrome, and intestinal dysbiosis. And because SIBO and leaky gut syndrome do not have the same long history of denial by conventionally trained physicians, they are more widely studied and accepted by mainstream medicine.
Candida yeast overgrowth in the gut is a very real condition that is finally the subject of medical research, although much more is needed. Natural and integrative doctors who have been treating this condition for decades have seen thousands of sick patients recover from chronic candidiasis by using comprehensive treatment plans that not only eradicate the fungus using appropriate antifungal agents, but also identify and reduce predisposing factors, such as dietary factors, impaired immunity, impaired detoxification function, or underlying disease states.[15] To find an integrative doctor near you, search in the Natural Health Advisory Directory.

One of my favorite things about the holiday season is the time I am fortunate enough to spend with loved ones. I find great joy in listening, learning, and reveling in the wealth of wisdom and love that surrounds me. The people that I choose as my elders, mentors and guides never stop enriching my life.
At our dinner table this weekend, one of our family's elders joined us for an equally nourishing meal and conversation. We all talked about lasting moments and lessons from our childhood and she specifically shared the profound effects of living through war some seventy years ago. Listening to her weave together what took place in her own backyard during WWII gave us only a peak into what she must have felt and seen. The strength and work ethic that kept her family, and arguably the rest of England, looking down and moving forward as a team with a concentrated goal in mind gave me pause. She connected this tenacity of character required from war time to her generations pragmatic approach to life. I am thankful for the opportunity to reflect on a diversity of lessons learned that I can continue to incorporate into my life today.
Our daughter furthered the conversation by asking us all a question that prompted a reflection on our past year: "What is your fondest memory of the year?" Her's was the second year-end question I have heard this week. The other went something to the effect of: What is your greatest accomplishment this year?" While both focus on an appreciation of the year passed, each question remains distinctly different. What I glean from each is an awareness that approaching our family conversations with loving interest and questions, will guide us into a deeper knowledge of each other and ourselves as we share in the significance of today by tying it to our past and then weaving it all together for our future.
Because we live in an age of social media, which I sometimes refer to as anti-social media, conversation can be awkward or hard to bring folks into. In this season of time spent with loved ones what questions will you be asking each other? Where will you be spending time together? Will you be sharing your intentions of the past, present and future with each other? Do your elders know the impact they have on your life?
I look forward to spending time with family and friends and plan to cherish our togetherness through mutual sharing, learning and growth.
Several weeks back, one of my dear friends, readers, and book editors forwarded me an email with information about a few charities and how they spend people's hard earned donations. It reminded me of an article a boss sent to me years ago and a conversation my stepfather and I had when I was much younger about his research into the irresponsible spending of the Red Cross and AARP. During the past few weeks, our mailbox has been littered with donation envelopes. Because it is the season of asking and receiving, it seems a good time to do some investigating into where all our December dollars and donations end up.
For many years, our family has attempted to find our way to the most useful holiday gifting. My husband and I have decided on years of no gifting, regardless of the fact that I have often changed my mind before the 25th, and failed to notify him of that change. Other years, we've made big proclamations that all gifts should be homemade, books, or donations to charity, and not all family members held up their end of those agreements either. Regardless of the specifics, most every year we spend some time as a family considering what we should do about gift giving, and about where to spend our money with the most reward to all.
This year, I had hoped to give small local sustainable gifts to friends and family who would be dropping by during the holiday season, donate in honor of others, and give gift certificates of experiences to some; but that dream will necessarily be placed on hold until next year. Having until recently been unemployed for six months, and with Mark and I working toward a goal of freeing ourselves from credit, this year, I am saying "no gifts," for the most part, and meaning it.
I know as we age, many of us find we need less stuff. Mark and I started giving experiences to each other many years back, and these gifts have formed some of my most cherished memories. There was a trail ride with our rental horses Teddy Bear and Dakota, and the hot air balloon ride that I had been wanting to try all my life. These memories made with Mark will be in my heart forever, and I wouldn't think of trading them in for something more material.
So this year, in the time I would usually set aside for gift planning and shopping, I will instead start a file of experiences, good hard-working charities, and local artisan-made and handmade food treats that I will look forward to gifting to loved ones next December.
What gifts do you buy for your loved ones? What charities do you give to and how do they spend your money? How will you celebrate this holiday season?
If you have recurrent dental problems or are currently suffering from pain in a tooth, give these home remedies for toothaches, gingivitis, and bad breath a try. Herbal treatments like turmeric, sage and peppermint are natural and effective ways to ease pain, fight bacteria, and prevent inflammation.
Experiencing nagging pain near your tooth and gums? While you should make an appointment with your dentist soon to diagnose the cause of the pain, there are many natural herbal therapies that can help ease your discomfort in the mean time. Try the following ideas:
1. Turmeric. Massage ground turmeric around your aching tooth to eliminate pain and swelling.[1] 2. Peppermint. The essential oil of peppermint acts as an analgesic and reduces pain when applied topically.[1] Soak a cotton ball in peppermint oil and place it in your mouth, or rub it directly on the aching tooth.[2] A few drops can also be added to a glass of water to make a pain-relieving mouthwash. 3. Cloves. Oil of cloves can help ease pain in teeth or sore gums.[2] Rub a few drops onto the source of the pain with your finger or a brush.
Gingivitis, a common form of gum disease, causes irritation and inflammation in the gums. While gingivitis itself can be mild and even unnoticeable in some cases, it is important to treat as it can lead to more serious oral diseases. These herbs can help you to find relief from gingivitis:
1. Myrrh. Effective for treating inflammation of the gums and fighting oral mucosa that contributes to gingivitis, myrrh can be made into a mouthwash. Dilute 30-60 drops of myrrh tincture in a glass of water. Alternatively, apply the undiluted form to affected areas 2-3 times daily.[2] 2. Sage. Sage is also a natural gingivitis treatment. Make sage tea by adding a few tablespoons of chopped sage leaves to a cup of boiling water. Let steep and cool slightly, then gargle.[2] 3. Peppermint. This herb is also helpful to help relieve inflammation in the gums. Make a mouthwash with a few drops of peppermint oil stirred into a glass of water.[3] 4. Turmeric. Rub a past of 1 turmeric and 1/2 tsp mustard oil onto the teeth and gums twice daily to treat gingivitis.[1]
Nobody likes to deal with bad breath. Luckily there are many bad breath remedies that can help you to stay fresh. Some herbs that help fight bad odor include:
1. Rosemary. Try adding rosemary essential oil to water to make a mouthwash for treating bad breath.[3] 2. Myrrh. Gargling with myrrh-infused water can also eliminate bad odors.[3] 3. Chrysanthemum. This flower has antimicrobial activity, which can help to fight the bacteria that cause bad breath.[4] Make a chrysanthemum tea to be used as a mouthwash by boiling the herb in water. 4. Tea tree oil. This essential oil effectively combats bacteria associated with bad breath.[5] Try gargling with diluted tea tree oil in a glass of water.
These herbal remedies will help you to find relief from a variety of oral health issues. Keeping your mouth healthy and preventing oral diseases is very important; your oral health can impact the health of your entire body. Try finding a biological dentist, who is a dentist trained to approach your dental care in a holistic manner, to care for your oral health. Biological dentists avoid toxins commonly used in dentistry, encourage a lifestyle that will benefit your dental health, and use holistic, naturopathic treatments to care for you.

Oil of Oregano is derived from the wild oregano plant (Oreganum vulgare), a member of the mint family (Lamiacae or Labiatae). The name oregano originates from two Greek words: oros (mountain) and ganos (joy). Oregano is also known by its other common names, wild marjoram and marjoram. It grows throughout many regions of the world, but is native to northern Europe. This shrub grows to approximately two feet and has multi-branched stems with oval leaves and small white or pink flowers that grow in erect spikes. In warmer climates such as the Mediterranean region, oregano grows as a perennial, while in other colder regions it is grown as an annual.
Oregano is well known as a culinary herb. The oregano herb has a warming and aromatic flavor which can be bitter due to the volatile oil content, especially when harvested fresh. The leaves of the oregano plant contain vitamin E, vitamin K, calcium, magnesium, zinc, iron, potassium, copper, boron, manganese, vitamins A and C, and niacin. Oregano is also important medicinally, with its distilled oil highly regarded for its strong antibacterial properties.
While oil of oregano has been used throughout history long before any scientific research was available, today we know that the major active chemicals found in oregano oil are phenolic terpenoids (terpenes have potent antibacterial components and give off the scent of pine). The two key terpenes thought to work synergistically in oil of oregano are carvacrol and thymol. PubMed, one of the world's most reliable resources for medical research, lists many references regarding the healing potential of carvacrol. Studies have shown that carvacrol and thymol have powerful anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial activity, as well as being strong antioxidants that help prevent cell damage from free radicals. Rosmarinic acid, also found in oregano, is also an antioxidant.
In numerous clinical trials, oil of oregano has shown great promise in treating many illnesses, including colds, flu, muscle pain, GI problems, respiratory illnesses, skin conditions and urinary tract infections. The constituents found in oil of oregano may even help lower cholesterol, promote cardiovascular health, fight cancer, reduce symptoms in Alzheimer's disease and serve as a natural antibiotic. This oil has been shown to inhibit the growth of bacteria, including Staphyloccus aureus, and may also give the immune system a boost in fighting viruses, fungi, and parasites.
The volatile oil of oregano is obtained by a distillation process wherein it takes approximately 100 pounds of wild oregano to make one pound of volatile oil! This oil is clearly very different than a culinary oil, which is made by infusing the fresh herb in olive oil. The medicinal volatile oil is very strong and must be used appropriately to prevent irritation and harm.
As a topical application for skin disorders, oregano oil must be added to a carrier oil (such as olive oil, jojoba oil, sweet almond oil, or grape seed oil) with a ratio of one drop oregano oil to one teaspoon of carrier oil, or 10-12 drops per ounce of carrier oil. This oil can then be applied directly to the affected area.
While most essential oils are not safe for internal ingestion, oregano oil is classified by the FDA as "generally regarded as safe" for human consumption (learn more about essential oil safety at the Herbal Academy of New England website). A drop of the oil may be added to four ounces of liquid in the form of water, juice, or food (dilute further for children, and children under the age of 6 should not ingest oregano oil at all). Oregano oil is also available in capsules, liquid leaf extract, and tablets.
For respiratory illness, a few drops of oregano oil can be added to a diffuser or a small pot of boiling water. To inhale the vapors, remove the pot from the heat source and place a towel over your head and lean over the pot just close enough to inhale the steam (don't get too close!). This can be done several times a day to relieve symptoms.
For those preferring to use the whole plant instead of the oil, oregano tea may be made by using one teaspoon of fresh leaves to one cup of boiling water. Crushed fresh oregano leaves and flowers can be used as an antiseptic for minor wounds and burns, while a paste made by blending crushed oregano leaves with oats and hot water can be applied to areas of swelling and itching.

Coconut oil is the hottest new health product, offering a wide variety of benefits. Coconut oil uses range from cooking to skincare, so read on to take advantage of what this oil has to offer.
Coconut oil consumption is associated with a more favorable profile of HDL and LDL cholesterol than other oils, and diets rich in coconut oil are associated with lowered risk factors for cardiovascular disease.[1,2]
Coconut oil contains high percentages of short-chain fatty acids and medium-chain triglycerides, which have advantages over other types of fatty acids in the way they are metabolized by the body.[2] There is also growing evidence that coconut oil benefits memory loss and can help with dementia and Alzheimer's disease.[3]
Coconut oil also exhibits antimicrobial effects against bacteria, due to the fatty acid content.[4] It can even help skin conditions like atopic dermatitis.[5] So how can you take advantage of all of these health benefits? Here are a few ideas for using coconut oil daily.
1. Cook with it. Coconut oil can be used in high heat, so it can replace other types of oil in essentially any recipe. Use coconut oil to:
• Roast veggies in the oven. • Pan fry or sauté your dish. • Make a homemade salad dressing. • Substitute for butter in dairy-free recipes like muffins and cookies, or as a spread on top of toast. • Pop popcorn (and melt it on top as well). • Make a healthy dessert.
2. Use it as a natural deodorant. Many deodorants contain harmful chemicals, but coconut oil deodorizes naturally due to its antimicrobial capabilities.
3. Season your cast iron pan. Rub coconut oil generously into the pan after cleaning, and let the cast iron soak up the oil to keep your pan seasoned perfectly.
4. Care for your skin. Coconut oil serves as a fantastic natural moisturizer, and it can help to relieve itchy or dry skin and treat skin conditions like dermatitis. Try rubbing coconut oil onto affected areas and letting it soak in. Common uses for skin care are widespread.
• Moisturize your hands. • Treat diaper rash. • Use it as a nipple cream during breastfeeding. • Care for a sunburn. • Keep your cuticles healthy. • Use it as a massage oil.
5. Treat your acne. Coconut oil can help to fight bacteria, which are responsible for acne breakouts. Try putting coconut oil onto your skin as a natural topical treatment. Ingesting it in your diet will help too.
6. Use it as a natural conditioner for your hair. Apply coconut oil to the scalp and hair before showering, let it sit, and then rinse. This can also help to treat dandruff.
7. Add it to a smoothie as a dietary supplement. A tablespoon or so in a smoothie can be a great way to add coconut oil to your regular diet.
The best form of coconut oil is organic, extra virgin, cold-pressed, and non-hydrogenated. This assures that you're getting the purest, most raw form of the oil, without the processing that can destroy some of its beneficial qualities.
Coconut oil is solid at room temperature; if your home is cool you may need to heat the coconut oil slightly to soften. This will allow you to spread it and use it more easily.

This week, I had hoped to write about giving to charity instead of corporations for the Holidays, but the topic below took personal and national precedence. I will look forward to discussing donations in place of consumption next week.
My heart is heavy. A little more than a week ago, at the Thanksgiving table, my family got into quite a heated conversation about prejudice—specifically, the recently meditated concentration of black deaths in the United States at the hands of white police officers. Since the conversation, I can't help but reflect on the level of fear, ignorance, and consciously calculated hatred in our country and around this world. I find it increasingly difficult to extend an understanding, necessary to open dialogue, with those who fail to acknowledge the historic and systematic roots of irrationally excessive uses of force.
It wasn't until my husband and I took a trip to Durban, South Africa two years ago to visit our daughter that I witnessed first-hand how a white American male feels when plucked out of the privilege of his majority status. We were visiting Carly during the Christmas holidays when she surprised us with a day tour of local Durban hotspots. One of the afternoon highlights happened to be a chairlift ride over the Durban beachfront, where a week-long party for tens of thousands of black South Africans, many who spend the remainder of their year inland, was taking place. On the beachfront, our whiteness was impossible to ignore. While everyone was friendly and open to us being there, we were also open game for stares as a pale-skinned spectacle. I noticed my husband looking tense and stressed, and I was immediately curious about the reason for his edginess. As we rode the chair lift above the crowd down on the beach, he remarked that this was the first time in his life that he could remember being the minority, and how exposed, unsafe, and unsure it made him feel. While being a recognized minority and a persecuted minority are completely different experiences, what Carly's Christmas gift did give us that year was a useful dose of self-reflection and interrogation into a greater contextualization of our creature comforts.
In most of the conversation I have had recently surrounding prejudiced police killings —Trayvon Martin, Eric Garner, Michael Brown, and Tamir Rice — I find myself at a loss for words in the face of hastily and arrogant "understanding" from people of privilege and racial majority. I don't understand the pain of losing a child. I don't understand the pain attached to a family history of slavery and oppression. And I don't understand the insecurity of being different, marked, and targeted for it every time I leave my home. What I do understand is that I am incredibly fortunate, and with that fortune it is my responsibility to learn, to empathize, and to struggle for the safety and justice of us all.
How can we help each other to move out of places of hatred and fear?

Unless the Plone/Zope developers have anything on their roadmap > regarding this issue we should probably drop Plone. :( Well, we can give Plone a try... Actually, I was concerned about how wget could mirror "dynamic" sections, like the search and poll functions. It's like to try to mirror a CGI page, the <form> URL links to a static page, instead of the real CGI, therefore it doesn't work (that's why, for example, we don't mirror the swish.cgi page, it's kept on main server instead). BUT, I had an idea: we could, on the templates, change the URLs of <form> tags to point to the LFS main server, like we do for our current search engine. All the other links we wish to mirror will be relative. So we use the wget's -L option to only fetch the relative links. Also, the rsync system can be maintained (just change the rsync to mirror the directory tree fetched by wget). Mirrors will not (hopefully) even note the CMS change. Are you ready to test Plone? > I can't wait! BTW how do you feel about Mambo OS? > (http://www.mamboserver.com) Someone recommended it. Their default > templates suck though. We could give it a try (but after Midgard, see my previous message). But let's try to use Plone now, you revived my hope! :) So far, I have the following list of CMSes (some already tested, and others to test in this order): 1. Plone - still have chances to be used :) 2. eZ Publish - not friendly - REJECTED 3. Midgard - to test, LAMP based 4. Mambo OS - to test, LAMP based I have tested some others, but due to serious defects (installation problems; too many dependencies; poor templating system), I've not listed them here. ### If we really are going to test Plone, I have to ask Gerard for permission to run the Zope daemon. It does not need root privileges to run, nor database setup. It even runs (and this is the default behaviour) on a (high?) port (8080, by default). It can run standalone ("naked"), direct serving pages to the Internet, but I read some articles saying that this causes poor performance and even security concerns. So, the recommend way of running Zope is to use Apache as a proxy to it. Apache will make the necessary security checks and then pass the hard work to Zope. Gerard, if you are interested in allowing me to run this daemon, tell me so I can send to you the necessary lines to be added to httpd.conf. Note that we are only making tests, this will not be the definitive installation. I will install the server on a directory under my $HOME directory. ### -- Anderson Lizardo lizardo at linuxfromscratch.org http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/

A movie directed by John Schlesinger
Karen McCann's (Sally Field) world is torn apart while driving home one day when she receives a call on her cell phone from her daughter--who is being raped and murdered as she speaks. The murderer--smirking, animalistic Robert Doob (Kiefer Sutherland)--is … see full wiki
Earlier this week I saw a commercial on CBS for Eye For An Eye with Sally Field and Ed Harris to be aired. I remember seeing previews back in 1996 for this movie and finally had the opportunity to watch this with no interruptions.
Eye For An Eye was produced by Michael Levy and Directed by John Schlesinger. Sally and Ed are Mary and Mack McCann with Beverly DAngelo as Dolly Green a colleague and friend to Mary. Joe Mantegna played the Detective on the case. At the theatres this was rated R for strong language, violence and adult situations.
It was not entirely clear to me the line of work Mary McCann was in but it seemed to be related to television. What struck me in the beginning minutes of Eye For An Eye was the scene of Mary at work in a room with many television sets. There on the screen was a shot of OJ Simpson at his trial and then the camera shot to Marcia Clark. This seemed to be an indication of how the police would handle the upcoming case in Eye For An Eye. I was not expecting to see that and it made an impression on me.
The movie begins on the birthday of the youngest daughter to Mary with her stuck in traffic phoning home to let them know she will be late. Her oldest daughter that is the stepdaughter to Mack is Julie who skipped a soccer practice I believe to help with the decorations. While talking to her mom on the phone the doorbell rings and that is when the terror begins.
While sitting in her car trapped in this horrific traffic Mary is hearing her daughter being attacked by an intruder. Frantically Mary gets out of her car trying to get another driver to call the police so she can still stay on the line and communicate with her daughter.
She ends up hailing a taxi to her home but is not allowed into the crime scene. The case is slow going at first until the Detective tells Mary they have blood and sperm samples. So now it is clear that Julie was raped as well. The investigation leads into delivery personnel who were coming into the house for the party being planned.
The police arrest the suspect Robert Doob, played intensely by Keifer Sutherland. Mary has taped his arrest from the news and through out the movie is seen watching the tape zeroing in on Doob. It is a bit confusing when the Detective puts another man on the case and they both are in court for the hearing.
The first hint of the defendant getting off was when his lawyer asked for the handcuffs to be removed and he sat there tapping on the table and turned to look at Mary a few times. The legal talk between the two lawyers was a bit too fast for me to keep up and it seemed hurried. The outcome was due to a notification that was not handled with the defense getting a sperm sample left the judge dropping the charges.
Soon after Mary went to court and got a copy of the file but the clerk had used white-out over the address on file for Doob. Mary was in a bathroom stall wiping away the white-out until the address was legible. The neighborhood where Doob lived was over a pool hall and you rent rooms by the week. She spent days watching him from across the street or in her car. She was spotted the time she followed him making a delivery to a house and looking in the window afterwards.
Mary headed over to the station to inform the Detective of what she saw but got the third degree for following Doob. She told him that Doob marked the territory like a dog. At least the Detective did show up at the delivery warehouse to issue a warning to Doob.
My heart was racing when I saw Doob enter a playhouse on the grounds where the young daughter was at school. It was a chilling scene to see him playing pretend party with the other daughter. They kept changing scenes to see Mary at a gym with another woman and I was thinking the worse would happen to her other daughter. What relief when Alexandra came running down the school steps to see her Mom. Then as they were walking to their car you saw the jeep that Doob was driving while making his delivery that Mary observed. Doob issued a warning to Mary to stay out of his neighborhood and he would do the same.
This encounter was never told to Mack as were the daily observations of Doob. The Detective had given Mary information about a support group for families who lost their children to violence. She befriended a woman there who she was at the gym with, this woman was encouraging her to get on with her life.
At the Tuesday night support groups Mary went without Mack, who did attend the first one. One night while looking for the restroom Mary found a couple and another man in another room, having a private conversation. When she learned at another meeting that the person who killed this couples son was murdered recently she inquired to the man she saw with them and asked for help.
These two men hooked Mary up with gun lessons and getting herself in fitness training and karate type defense classes. They told her they would help her get a gun and take matters into her own hands, but she pulls the trigger.
During one of her visits to the garage they meet at it was apparent that a van was taping conversations so there was a leak. The next support group the female friend was observing Mary talk to that man again. Mary got the gun in a paper bag from the man while they were having lunch in a diner and then went to visit the female friend.
She was quite shocked to see the son this woman claimed to have been murdered was alive. She then told Mary that she was working undercover to expose vigilantism. She urged Mary not to do it, because if it was not in self defense she would end up in jail and what was that teaching her other daughter. During a business meeting Mary went into a conference room and called the man to let him know she wanted out.
Then the unthinkable did happen with Dobb arriving at the house again delivering groceries to the girl that Mary had tried to warn but due to not speaking Spanish could not issue her warning. The Detective called Mary to relay the bad news about this woman being killed. He told her that they would keep him forty-eight hours but since he delivered groceries there it was not out of the ordinary to find his prints on things.
Doob did walk and Mary took the law into her own hands and provoked him into coming to her house so she could in the end kill him in self defense. She planned a family trip and removed some boxes from her office so her colleague would need her and sent her husband and daughter ahead promising she would be only a few hours.
She went to the place Doob lived and got a hold of the keys to his room and ransacked it leaving her hat behind. She methodically got home and went upstairs to the bathroom for a shower. Doob of course climbs over the fence and gets into the house. He slowly walks through the house until he hears the shower and at the last minute you see a towel where I had thought Mary still was. She was behind him holding a gun.
At the same time the father and daughter were in the car and somehow the topic came to the man in the jeep that Mommy always watches on television was at her school. Mack made a sharp turn heading back home arriving as the police were covering up Doob with his wife sitting on the couch.
Well the Detective did have brains after all because he told Mary he knew what she did and she told him to proove it. So in the end the innocent learned from the guilty how to work the system to get justice in the end.
From the commercials and past previews I was expecting a real thriller that would scare me to the gills. This was not the case and I found a few things off. Julie the one who was killed had skipped a practice but that was never mentioned again like how it could have been avoided.
The youngest daughter seemed more attached to the father always calling out to him when she had nightmares. The fast talking lawyer scenario in the court room left me confused since it went so fast without time for me to digest how this happened. There was a pillow that Mary saved of Julies, that Alexandra dropped ice cream on so she and Mack washed it. This upset Mary since she no longer could smell Julie on the pillow. I thought the husband was a bit insensitive to that.
Then what seemed a few days after the murder they were visiting a zoo or something similar with the daughter running fast in front of the parents. This disturbed the Mother very much but the husband did not seem to be cautious.
The murder took place in their house and the daughter was alone in her room and not like camping with the parents. The day of the funeral Mary looked odd at times at the rug and I assumed it was due to her daughter being killed on it, but that did not pan out. They did not seem to emphasize the grief and instead wanted to get on with life and get past it. When Mary was talking to the undercover gal before she knew this woman was not encouraging her to have memories of her slain daughter but instead to think of her other daughter.
I still enjoyed this fast paced movie that showed how the law is not on the side of the victim and how those suffering handle their grief in other ways. I was relieved in the end that this was not as scary as I imagined it would be. Keifer Sutherland was a believable nutcase who spent his life in and out of jail cells and seemed to learn how to work the system to his advantage. Sally Field played the part of the Mother very emotionally and had me rooting for her. My disappointment would be in the way the husband was portrayed to be less involved in what was happening with his wife.
I would suggest using caution for young viewers since there is some violence and the attacking of the girls. While watching this I recognized many areas where this was filmed and it kind of gave me the creeps. Since I am not a fan of thrillers I cannot compare this to anything of late but watched due to the talents of Sally Field being cast in the lead role.

I think my speedo under reads by about 10%. So it's normal then.....That's a relief. Thanks again Preee

The official Police guideline is allowance of 10% of the limit but that guideline can be rescinded if the person is driving other than in accordance of the highway code and road safety regulations.

Stoney , if i was driving at 120mph on the motorway would you still give me the 10%
, or extra because i would be in a Ford

120 is not punished by a fixed penalty or endorsements, it would go straight to court with a recommendation for a instant disqual.
30% over the posted speed limit will result in this procedure i.e. 52 in a 40 zone, 39 in a 30.
Traffic / weather / visibility and many other things are also taken into consideration so the % allowance is only a guideline too.
What i don't see i can't act on.

Epic blizzard over, but Northeast is still reeling … and now rainy (+video)
As the Northeast digs out from an epic blizzard, rain poses new challenges: ice, slippery roads and paths, and – where wind has not already blown away much of the snow – collapsing roofs.
The Northeast's big snow of 2013 is over, but not its aftereffects.
The region's residents are still digging out, navigating roads lined by walls of snow, and in some cases dealing with school closures and power outages. Now comes rain.
The weather forecast for Monday called for roughly half an inch to fall from New York to Boston – the same region just pelted with as many as three feet of snow on Friday and Saturday. That has raised worries of potential roof collapses and a soupy mix under foot that could freeze overnight.
Many people trekked back to work on Monday on newly reopened transit systems, but one online message revealed the storm's ongoing impacts:
"We continue to work to mitigate the effects of the storm," said the town website for coastal Scituate, Mass., citing challenges with power outages, floods, and plowing streets with parked cars, and "structural damage to some roads."
The storm set records for snowfall in some communities, including Portland, Maine. Connecticut communities tallied the largest snowfalls, with some 40 inches falling in Hamden. The states of Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and New York also saw some tallies exceed 30 inches.
In Boston, this storm's two-foot totals fell a few inches short of matching the city's record.
But cities were still digging out Monday, and some major school systems including those in Boston and Hartford, Conn., were closed for the day.

Works great with my VAIO laptop and my Bravia TV. Since I'm using this cable, Windows 7 even even recognizes the TV as 'Bravia TV'.
The sound quality is good. The video colours are good as well, in comparison to other HDMI cables I used.
I like the white color of the cable, it gives a real 'SONY feeling'. This flexible cable has two connectors are gold-plated.
A black version of this cable would be a good alternative.

"This card is simple and to the point, just the way we want it. Although the corner of the save the date column looks a bit funny, we still like the simplistic style to this card. The only complaint we have is actually how the save the date portion is positioned on the left on almost all the save the date cards' design, except for this "Label of Love" one!!!. We originally were going with "Best Date Ever Save The Date", because the save the date portion looks simpler and the fonts for the date are much bigger and eye catching. But the problem with most of the one-photo save the date cards on this website is that the "save the date" portion is almost always on the left. It is already hard to decide on what's our favorite photo to put on a save the date card, having to pick a photo that fit the design just adds another layer of complication."
"I love everything in the cards paper, style, pictures, shipping the only thing don't like is the company logo on the bottom of the cards. I think for special cards and invitation shouldn't show the logo unless it's a free Or promotional product but when you paid for the product shouldn't be there. I can't take off when I'm edit the cards."
"I couldn't be happier with my save the dates that I bought from shutterfly!! They were everything I thought they'd me! The picture quality is magnificent!"
"We orders these for my daughters "save the date" cards. Was very easy to do once you down load your pic onto Shutterfly. Beautiful!! Make sure you pick the size you want. We wanted the big ones and are very happy with them. Look's just like they do on your screen. Zoom in if you can. Our picture on the back was not perfect and not being able to zoom in we didn't see it. Too late to change the pic but it was ok. Made it look fun. Just like our couple!"
"My sar the date cards were exactly as pictures when ordering. They were shipped in a timely manner and looked fantastic. I am overly happy with my product. I will be ordering from them again."
Personalized save the date cards are the perfect way to get all of your friends and family ready for the big day. Shutterfly's save the date cards are available in a selection of designs, colors and scripts. Personalize your save the dates with a photo or collection of photos and message to let your guests know the details of your wedding.

ICF International Purchases Assets And Hires Staff Of Symbiotic Engineering
ICF International (NASDAQ:ICFI), a leading provider of consulting services and technology solutions to government and commercial clients, announced today that it has purchased the Sustainability Information Management System (SIMS) platform, an analytical framework used by energy utilities to make informed decisions on resource consumption trends and program effectiveness, from Symbiotic Engineering of Boulder, Colo. Additionally, ICF has hired seven Symbiotic employees, who will continue to support the development of the SIMS framework. The terms will not be disclosed.
There is a strong marketplace demand for analytics as utilities require ready access to actionable information to inform daily decisions. By leveraging ICF's vast collection of data, energy expertise, and utility clients with Symbiotic's software-as-a-service (SaaS) SIMS platform, ICF will create new opportunities to provide current and potential utility clients with the information and analyses they need to better manage costs, promote energy efficiency, protect the environment, and create consumer value.
"ICF is committed to helping utilities address issues ranging from energy efficiency to greenhouse gas emissions by effectively applying new and improved sources of data and analytics," said ICF International Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Sudhakar Kesavan. "We are pleased to bring Symbiotic's staff into ICF and further solidify and grow our already robust and well-respected energy line of business. Symbiotic's management team will be instrumental in shaping and executing a utility analytics strategy and SIMS will serve as the delivery channel."
"Strong market demand exists for integrated business intelligence, benchmarking, and forecasting," said Michael Whitaker, chief operating officer for Symbiotic Engineering. "ICF's experienced consulting services combined with Symbiotic's analytical platform create a unique value proposition for clients as they will be better able to leverage their programs and initiatives for increased customer engagement, brand attribution, customer satisfaction, and lower operational costs."
SIMS is a scalable SaaS energy analytics platform for utilities that marries actionable intelligence with leading industry benchmarks. SIMS integrates weather-normalized energy consumption data, demographics, building stock, and initiative participation, along with other contextual data and leverages proprietary analytics and utility-specific algorithms to perform advanced analyses of resource consumption patterns across user-defined geographic areas. SIMS provides a way for utilities to more effectively design, target, implement, and track water, natural gas, and electricity efficiency programs.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Thanksgiving is only 10 days away, and for so many people it is a great time to celebrate being with family and friends. It also helps that it is the one day in the year that slightly or fully over-indulging is acceptable. There's one food item you'll come in direct contact with that you can feel guilt-free about (even with left-overs)... turkey!
Everyone knows that L-tryptophan is found in turkey, and it is often the blame for why people feel sleepy after the meal. I bet you didn't know, however, that there is a trace mineral found in turkey that is cancer-fighting... Selenium. This element is a key component in immunity, thyroid metabolism and antioxidant defense. Selenium is also one of the top foods recommended for cancer-fighting (especially to lower PSA for men) because it helps repair cell damage, inhibits cancer cell growth, and is essential for a liver-detox enzyme to function. Four ounces of turkey comprises just shy of 50% of your daily value for selenium, and 27% of vitamin B6, which is also useful in cancer prevention and heart health.
Besides being full of the feel-good amino acid, L-tryptophan, and full of cancer fighting selenium, turkey is low in calories for a protein rich food source, has a good amount of both vitamin B6 and B3 and phosphorus.

Author Profiles
A Solid Beginning
Arnaud "Arna" Wendell Bontemps was born on October 13, 1902, in Alexanderia, Louisiana, a child of middle class parents of mixed racial heritage--what is sometimes called Creole. His father, Paul Bismark Bontemps, was descended from French plantation owners living in Haiti and their slaves. After coming to the United States, the Bontemps family lived free in Louisiana for decades, and the many of the men worked as skilled brick and stone masons for generations. In addition to working his trade, Arna's father also played music with a popular band. Arna's mother, Maria (pronounced Ma-rye-ah) Carolina Pembrooke was descended from an English planter and his Cherokee wife. Maria taught public school and enjoyed creating visual art.
He was trouble, into everything at once, with an imagination that just wouldn't quit. Neither his teachers nor his parents knew quite what to do with him. But when he opened his mouth the most beautiful sounds came out. Young Jack Prelutsky had a glorious voice, so good they called him a prodigy, and the New York Metropolitan Opera's choirmaster gave him free lessons. But he gave up his dream of being the world's best opera singer when he heard Luciano Pavarotti perform. He knew he couldn't match that amazing voice, and he did know for certain that whatever he did in his life, he wanted to be the very best at it.
Artist and author Glen Rounds was neither a tenderfoot nor a city slicker. He was the real deal of the nearly Wild West--though he wasn't beyond telling a few tall tales, too, here and there. Born in a sod house in the Badlands of South Dakota, when he was just a babe he and his family traveled by covered wagon to the open spaces of Montana.
Newbery Medal-winning author Meindert DeJong (pronounced De-Young) immigrated to the United States with his family as a young boy. The family came to America so that his older brothers would not be drafted to fight in World War I. The DeJong family had a difficult time in their new country. The family was poor, and the children were sent to a private, religious school where the children were bullied for being immigrants. Meindert DeJong never forgot the experience of being a lonely child, and he wove that perspective into many of his books.
When Laura Elizabeth Ingalls got married, she asked the minister to change the wording in the wedding ceremony. She did not want to promise to always obey her husband, and in this as in many things she got her way. But she and Almanzo (whom she called Manly—he called her Bess) had a long and happy marriage working a farm not on the prairie that Laura loved so well but in the Ozark Mountains of Missouri, leaving the Little House her Pa built far behind.
When Phyllis Reynolds was in first grade, she had a hard time making sense of the stories her teacher wrote on the blackboard. Those little, squiggly characters danced crazily across the open space and didn't mean a thing to her. One day, her teacher asked her to read a story out loud. Phyllis didn't hesitate for a second. She plunged into an exciting story-- her own story-- about a cat and a tree and an autumn day. The teacher shook her head sadly at Phyllis. No, she hadn't gotten it. But she had gotten it-- the desire to tell stories. In time, she did learn to read, and soon she was writing her own books on notebook paper. Phyllis had found a love for writing that she has never lost through the tough times and the good.
How does this master of dry wit create? He imagines a boy, very much like he was, and tries to write a story that would please him. Like many excellent writers for kids and young adults, he has a terrific recall of what it feels like to be a bright, out-of-sync, yet amazingly well-adjusted, kid in a not totally indifferent world.
Daniel Manus Pinkwater was a well-traveled soul by his teens. He was born in Memphis, Tennessee, moved to Chicago, then on to Los Angeles at age eight and back to Chicago again as a teenager. Not being a particularly tanned or svelte person, he found Chicago to be a much more friendly residence, although Los Angeles was where he first discovered art supplies. In high school, his friends were like the "Snarkout Boys" from his books-- not socially gifted in the mainstream, but together they formed a clever, friendly group of creative goofballs and truth-seekers.
Get the creepy crawlies with R. L. Stine. He's a master of conjuring things that go bump in the dark. Imagine you've just moved to the town of Dark Falls where you don't know anybody.
It's easy to make friends here-- but they're the wrong kind of friends, in Welcome to Dead House. The campers at Camp Nightmoon are disappearing one by one. Do you dare go on a special hike with strange Uncle Al in Welcome to Camp Nightmare?
If you take a walk in Boston's Public Garden, you may be greeted by a larger-than-life duck family out for a stroll: Mrs. Mallard, Jack, Kack, Lack, Mack, Nack, Ouack, Pack, and Quack. These bronze sculptures capture the frolicking illustrations of one of America's most-beloved children's books—Make Way for Ducklings.
Famous picture book illustrator and author Tasha Tudor loved the old ways of country living and payment for her beautiful work allowed her to live the life she dreamed of. She dressed in clothes styled for the 19th century that she made herself and carried a handmade willow basket to do her grocery shopping. Tasha kept goats, chickens, Corgi dogs, as well as a garden full of herbs, flowers, and the sort of tasty fruits that would find their way into homemade pies cooked on her wood stove. These things she loved and made a part of her illustrations.

Hey guys... I bottled my 3rd batch today. It was my first "commercial" extract batch. The 2 previous batches were done using my LHBS own extracts. So, I made a coopers wheat beer + light LME. My OG was 1.042 wich I tought was a little low compared to the other 2 I had done. Pitched the yeast (that came with the kit) at a good temp (25ish Celcius) and fermented at 23-24 Celcius. After one week, I transfered to secondary and took a gravity reading of 1.018... wich I tought was high compared to my big experience of 2 batches. I Let it sit in secondary for 2 weeks until today. Took a gravity reading before racking to bottling bucket: still 1,018. I still added 290g. of priming sugar (for 5 imperial gallons) and bottled. What will it turn out to be??? Some flat non-alchool brew? Some carbonated non-alchool brew? Some brew that I should dump? I tasted Ok... I feel like such a Newbie (maybe because I'm one). Fill me with all your knowledge please! Thanks!
The beer you brewed definitely is alcoholic. I calculate the ABV at 4.5%, which isn't that low compared to many commercial beers in the states. If i were you, I wouldn't worry about it. I doubt you'll get bottle bombs since 1.018 is respectable for a final gravity. I bottled a Nut Brown ale once which had an FG of 1.024. I opened one of the last bottles at the 6 month mark and holy crap. It blew up the second i took the cap off! I'm guessing the yeast fermented the last of the fermentables in the bottle. With regards to your lack of attenuation, i would say it's possible you didn't aerate your wort enough prior to fermentation. That can end the process prematurely. Also, the yeast in the kit may have been old. With dry yeast that's usually not as much of an issue.
Thanks for the reply!!! I have another batch with the same problem. It is a munton's Irish cream ale + amber LME. It went from 1.043 to 1.021 and is now stuck there. I have a pack of notthingham's left here. I wanted to add 1 cup of dextrose to the wort and repitch to see what it would do. Do you think I shoudn't do that and just bottle it anyways? I must do something wrong with those 2 batches... 2 stuck fermentations?!? Thanks!
I had the same problem with an Octoberfest-in-a-box I did for my first brew. 1.042 OG to 1.019 FG. It tasted OK during bottling, but was pretty sweet. After a couple of weeks in the bottle, it tasted terrible (great carbonation however). I'm not sure what to attribute it to, but I can guess that it was a combination of the following:
1.042 to 1.018 is only 3.2% ABV...and I don't think its done. I'd be cautious with those bottles...they may restart fermentation and drop another 6 points...way too much for your bottles to hold. put them in a rubbermaid tote while conditioning.
So... with all of your experiences... What sould I do with my cream ale that's stuck at 1.021??? Re-aerate the wort? Add some sugar and repitch some yeast? Bottle it? I'm a little lost on that one!
I may be wrong, but i remember hearing that Muntons LME has a lot on non-fermentables in it. So the FG tends to be higher than with other brands of extract. Perhaps that's a possible cause.
ohiodad: you bottled those 2 batches with no problem??? How much priming sugar did you add? The usual amount or less because of not-fermented sugars? I think that I'll add the nothingham's yeast tonight to my cream ale. If it doesn't go under 1.021... At least I'll know that it won't go lower in bottles creating bombs!

Yellow Pine Porch Flooring – Better Than Composite Decking?
Before you run out and buy some yellow pine porch flooring for sale, there are some things you will want to consider first. While you can buy this type of tongue and groove planking fairly cheap, there are some maintenance issues you may have to consider. Of course, like with any other type of product, there are also some really positive things to take into consideration. Let's look at some things you will want to consider before you buy yellow pine porch flooring for sale, even if it's cheap, as compared to composite.
It's Soft: This type of fir is pretty soft overall. The wood is somewhat porous, which means it's somewhat soft. Not only does this mean that yellow pine porch flooring will dent if something heavy is dropped, but it also means it can splinter and scuff pretty easily. Unlike composite decking material, yellow pine porch flooring is more prone to showing wear and tear after a very short time.
Decay: Any untreated wood, even cedar, is prone to rot. If you are considering yellow pine porch flooring, then you need to make sure all the surface area will be protected from the elements. Make sure the deck is covered, not only from the top, but from the sides, or your tongue and groove planking will not last nearly as long. Composite may be a better choice for you, depending on your preferences.
Tongue and Groove: This is a major plus when it comes to yellow pine porch flooring. The tongue and groove design helps to hide nails, so you get a more finished look. The only real drawback to this is the gap, which can increase and decrease in size with moisture. It's still a nice touch for the planking. With composite decking material, you will not have the swelling and shrinking that you get with a real wood planking product. This is a major downfall, but still, the tongue and groove looks great when it's installed.
Requires Staining: You will need to stain your yellow pine porch flooring if you don't want the natural look or you don't want to go with paint. Either way, you will have some extra steps to take initially, and over time. This means more maintenance. In today's world, few of us want to spend time on maintenance. This means less time enjoying your deck or patio, and more time keeping it looking nice. The maintenance may be enough to make some people consider composite decking for their patio.
