What is the job market like within my choice of department major?
H&PE Teacher Prep: There are two main factors which are becoming increasingly relevant for the job marketplace. First, the number of children from baby boomers are now of school-age and taxing the schools in greater numbers. Secondly, baby boomers who are now teachers will be retiring in greater numbers over the ten years. Both factors will contribute substantially to a better job market for those entering into the teaching profession.
Sport Management : Sport is a multi-billion industry in the U.S.A. and many new types of sport management jobs appear each year. For example, the ODU sport management program has graduates hired full-time for all the active professional sport teams in Hampton Roads including the Norfolk Tides, Admirals, Nighthawks, etc. Two recent full-time hirings in the ODU Athletic Program were graduate students from the ODU sport management program.
Recreation and Tourism Studies: Currently the job market in this field is very good. Travel and tourism related businesses and enterprises have grown dramatically over the last five years. This growth is visible locally, nationally and internationally. One reason is that cities are in competitive pursuit of tourists (visitor spending) for economic development. Most recently students have found employment in nursing homes, parks and recreation departments, hotels/resorts, and on military bases. Jobs have increased significantly in long term care facilities, residential psychiatric facilities, and community parks and recreation. Due to our management based core curriculum, many of our RLS/RTS graduates become program supervisors within two years.
Exercise Science: Jobs/workplace for someone with a bachelor's degree in the field of Exercise Science: exercise leader or fitness instructor in the following: Corporate fitness/health promotion programs, Hospital-based fitness/health promotion programs, Hospital cardiac rehabilitation programs, Health clubs, YMCAs, Country clubs, Personal trainer, self-employed or with a company, etc. Most of these settings are well developed and have stable work forces with normal turnover patterns.
What sort of salary range might I expect to see within my chosen field?
H&PE Teacher Prep : In general, the salaries of beginning teachers range from about $32,000-$45,000. Depending upon where you finally get situated, it may be in the $40,000 plus range. There might be some additional enticements school systems offer depending upon their situation.
Sport Management : The salary varies greatly from job to job but the range seems to be in the $25,000 to $35,000 range.
Recreation and Tourism Studies: Location is often a determining factor for salary range. Cost of living impacts greatly on pay scales. Locally, entry level employee salaries range from $20,000 - $28, 000. In Northern Virginia, entry level employee salaries range from $26,000 - $32,000. The typical entry level salary range for our graduates is $25,000 to $37,000 a year.
Exercise Science: Entry level bachelor degree holders generally make mid-20s. Salaries in the 30s and 40s or more are attainable, especially with a master's degree. Individuals in personal training have the potential to make much more, depending on the clientele.
What kinds of career paths are available out there with a degree in my discipline?
H&PE Teacher Prep: The teaching profession is the obvious career path that deals specifically with becoming a health and physical educator of students from PreK to 12th grade.
Sport Management: There are potential jobs to name a few in sport event management, sport facility management, sport marketing and promotions, ticketing, sport sponsorship and advertising sales, sport program supervision and management (e.g., sport camps), health club management, sport community relations, employees of sport commissions, and directors of intramural programs.

Food on Campus
Prescott College has various food related venues. Throughout the campus there are small gardens that partly supply the Crossroads Cafe with healthy, fresh produce, and are part of research and curriculum of the AgroEcology Program.
An all-year Community Supported Agriculture is active on the campus with fresh vegetables, fruits, nuts, meats, and eggs all from within an 80 mile (mostly within 30 mile) range.
The Crossroads Cafe is open for the student and the public, for healthy eating, workshops, and food education, as well as catering services.
The Jenner Farm also supplies some of the food on campus. Several of the agriculture classes at Prescott College take place on Jenner Farm – 20 acres of rich alluvial soils bordered by towering cottonwood and mesquite trees, 26 miles outside of town. This sort of "learning farm" and the hands on curriculum it facilitates is fairly unique for four-year undergraduate schools in North America.

In particular, the information gain about a random variable X obtained from an observation that a random variable A takes the value A=a is the Kullback-Leibler divergence DKL(p(x|a) || p(x|I) ) of the prior distribution p(x|I) for x from the posterior distribution p(x|a) for x given a.
The expected value of the information gain is the mutual information I(X;A) of X and A — i.e. the reduction in the entropy of X achieved by learning the state of the random variable A.
In machine learning this concept can be used to define a preferred sequence of attributes to investigate to most rapidly narrow down the state of X. Such a sequence (which depends on the outcome of the investigation of previous attributes at each stage) is called a decision tree. Usually an attribute with high information gain should be preferred to other attributes.
In general terms, the expected information gain is the change in information entropy from a prior state to a state that takes some information as given:
Let be the set of all attributes and the set of all training examples, with defines the value of a specific example for attribute , specifies the entropy. The information gain for an attribute is defined as follows:

Apple CEO Tim Cook is still trying to convince shareholders that the iPhone maker remains a step ahead in the race to innovate, even though recent performance of the company's stock lags behind other technology trendsetters.
In making his case Friday, Cook struck a familiar refrain during Apple's annual shareholder meeting at the company's Cupertino, California headquarters.
Cook promised that Apple Inc. is working on new gadgets that will expand the company's product line-up beyond smartphones, tablets, music players and personal computers without divulging any details. He cited the company's nearly $4.5 billion investment in research and development during the last fiscal year and the completion of 23 acquisitions in the past 16 months as a precursor of the big things to come.
"There is a ton of stuff going on," Cook said.
On the financial side, Cook told shareholders that Apple's board will announce whether the company will increase its dividend and spend more money buying back its own stock by the end of April. Money management is a major issue for Apple because the company is sitting on nearly $159 billion in cash, including $124 billion held in overseas accounts to avoid U.S. taxes.
On the labor front, Cook pledged to continue Apple's fight for the rights of the low-paid workers who build the company's devices in overseas factories. The workplaces are frequently depicted as oppressive sweatshops.
"I don't think there is any CEO who talks about human rights more than I do," he said. "I get a lot of spears for it, but I don't give a crap."
Cook, who became Apple's CEO shortly before the October 2011 death of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, also showed a playful side. He tantalized the crowd by telling them he planned to provide a glimpse at Apple's upcoming products, but it turned out to be a tease. "I've got to have some fun," he said.
The meeting looked like it would be a tense affair until earlier this month when activist investor Carl Icahn abandoned a high-profile campaign aimed at pressuring Apple's board to increase the company's $60 billion budget for buying back its stock. The company has already spent more than $40 billion of that amount.
Most shareholders at Friday's meeting seemed supportive of Cook, although a couple expressed frustration with Apple's stock price when he took seven questions from the audience.
Investors are worried about the company's shrinking market share in the smartphone market as its rivals introduce a wider selection of devices offering lower prices and larger screen sizes. Wall Street is also wondering if Apple lost some of its inventiveness with the death of the visionary Jobs.
Apple's stock dipped $1.43 to close Friday at $526.24. That's 25 percent below …continued »

Iran Almanac
Official Name:
The Islamic Republic of Iran.
About 70 million. Mostly Persian (51 percent), Persian-speaking (58 percent), and Shia Muslim (89 percent). Other ethnic groups include Turkish-speaking, Shia Azerbaijanis (24 percent) and Kurdish-speaking, Sunni Kurds (9 percent). About two-thirds of Iranians are under age 30 which means they were born after the Islamic Revolution (for more on the Revolution, see page 22). About 60 percent of Iranians live in big cities. Class distinctions between rich and poor were significantly leveled off in the Revolution. The education level is high (80 percent literacy), but the educated often emigrate.
At 636,000 square miles, Iran is about the size of Alaska or Mexico.
The west is mountainous and wet (67 inches of rain annually, compared to Seattle's 36 inches), with some snow in winter. The east is desert, dry and hot. Sitting in the middle of the Islamic world, Iran guards vital shipping lanes through the Strait of Hormuz (the bottleneck opening into the Persian Gulf).
Biggest Cities:
Tehran is a city of 14 million people (including the metropolitan area)—home to one in five Iranians. Esfahan, with 3.5 million (metro area), is Iran's "second city."
There are about 10,000 rial in a dollar. A toman is ten rial. A portrait of the Ayatollah Khomeini graces every bill.
Iran—a traditional agrarian economy that got yanked into 20th-century industrialization by oil and the Shah—is still only semi-developed. It's a mix of state control and free market. The GDP is $852 billion (like Australia's), and per capita income is around $12,000. Iran controls the world's third-largest oil reserves (9 percent of the global supply), which is used to subsidize food and energy costs and provide a strong measure of social security to all Iranians. While the constitution guarantees Iranians health-care, retirement, unemployment, and so on, Iranians don't rank very high in healthcare standards, life expectancy, and other quality-of-life measures. Aside from oil, Iran produces food (grains, dates, pistachios), cars, construction materials, and carpets—most of which is kept in the country (the economy—three decades into an American embargo—is geared toward self-sufficiency, not trade).
The constitution is a "Shia democracy." It's ruled by elected officials, who must follow Shia Muslim law. While the constitution is based on Islamic law, both clerics and laymen can hold office. There are several overlapping branches of government, providing a confusing set of checks and balances: The executive branch is led by the "Supreme Leader," Ayatollah Ali Khamenei—the highest power and commander-in-chief. He appoints judges, generals, state media executives, and half of the Council of Guardians (who monitor him). He is not elected, but appointed (and dismissed) by the Assembly of Experts (86 elected clerics). The President (currently Mahmoud Ahmadinejad) executes the laws and proposes new laws, but has less power to formulate foreign policy. He's elected by popular vote for a four-year term (next elections are in mid-2009), but can be dismissed by the Supreme Leader.
Iran has a standing army of 500,000 troops, composed of two forces: the national military and the Revolutionary Guard (for "protecting the Revolution"). They could mobilize up to one million. The military budget is 3.3 percent of GDP (a bit less than the US's).
Free Press?
Much of the media is state-run, the rest is state-controlled, and firebrands are shut down or jailed. But people have access to foreign TV stations via satellite dishes, which, while officially prohibited, are largely tolerated. The Internet is extremely popular, especially among the young. It's censored (by service providers) only for pornography and anti-Islamic propaganda. There are millions of Internet users, and blogging is extremely popular; by some measures, Iran is the fourth-largest country of bloggers. Even President Ahmadinejad has a blog (www.ahmadinejad.ir).
The flag has three horizontal stripes—green (representing vigor), white (peace), and red (courage). The stripes are separated by stylized Kufic script reading "God is Great," and in the center of the white stripe is an emblem packed with Muslim symbolism, including the Quran and the five pillars of Islam.

Key Thesis: Images and Design
Key Thesis: Images and Design
Ann Liu, a graphic designer and MFA student at the Maryland Institute College of Art, created a blog to chronicle her final thesis, Key Portraits.
I like the idea of mapping out large project like this is narrative form. Since a thesis by nature is exploratory, a blog seems like the perfect place to talk through and evolve ideas, and it affords commentary from a wider audience. Not only is it interesting to take a peek and see the progress of her project, but she also has amassed a collection of lovely images.
I'm interested to see what her final booklet will be like. The final project will in-part show the relationship people have with their keys and what keys say about the individual. She also views "the key as a beautiful, simple and utilitarian object that is too often ignored... my goal is to explore different strategies to make the key a more significant and expressive object in our culture."

Prostate massage is an incredible experience for men that have experienced it. It is accomplished by stimulating the prostate gland, which is located up and behind the testicles and just above the perineum. You can massage the prostate gland with a finger or an appropriately designed vibrator by inserting one or the other into your anus and moving in the direction of your testicles where you'll find the walnut-size gland. With a gentle prostate massage, many men can experience a climax without touching their penis or masturbating.
Milking occurs when the prostate gland is stimulated in such a way to cause the gland to release the semen and seminal fluids stored there. The amount released varies from one man to the next. The sensations are remarkable, though usually not nearly so intense as an actual climax. You will not experience that exhausted, spent feeling that follows a typical climax. A vibrator is likely to be more effective than a finger, unless it's your partners finger giving the massage. Even then it may take some practice and patience on his or her part.
Part of your experience is seeing your semen drip out of your penis. It can be anywhere between a slow steady drip to continuous spurts. This can go on for as long as five minutes. Either way you are likely to be surprised by how much is released. For those who have always wanted to taste their own semen, but have never been in the mood once they ejaculate, that mood will not be present with milking.
The following series of videos demonstrate the effects of male milking.
Milking can be a sensual and loving experience for uninhibited partners that want to expand their sexual horizons. Two men, boyfriend and girlfriend, man and wife, it doesn't matter. As you can imagine, the intimacy is incredible.
What men say about prostate massage and milking:
"I really get off big time when I massage my prostate gland. Some of my best "Os" happen when I do this amazing thing! Nice, big loads too! I have a vibrating wand that was made just Continue readingPin It

Involuntary circumcision is a controversial procedure that has all but died out everywhere in the world but the United States. Here many of us still want our baby boys to look like their fathers. Here many of our women still think male foreskins are gross, that they look odd and collect unpleasant odors. Here performing the procedure is still an extra few bucks for doctors and hospitals. All of that is slowly going by the wayside, as is the old misguided female perspective. Women in the U.S., like women all over the world, are beginning to appreciate the male body in it's natural state. Due to our indoctrinations, there are still many men that believe penises look better circumcised. In fact they are glad they themselves are, and they intend to have the procedure performed on their newborn sons. I don't mean to disparage these men, everyone is entitled to their own point-of-view. But consider this: if circumcision wasn't a common practice, if all the guys in the locker room had foreskins, if women didn't believe foreskins are gross, you would be glad you had one too. But if I'm wrong, it still would have been better if you had been given a choice. Rest assured that many of our sons are going to regret our decision to have them cut.
This article represents a woman's point-of-view. Her name is Susan and she has contributed her thoughts to Enlightened Male. Susan is among the growing numbers of American women that have positive attitude toward foreskins. The videos are by ladies that echo Susan's views.
By Susan … A Woman's Positive View on the Male Foreskin
I want to begin my homage to foreskins with a disclaimer: I am only speaking of my own experience, others' experiences, and studies that have been done on the subject of circumcision. Of course circumcised men experience lust, are desirable, and can be fantastic lovers. I am not trying to belittle anyone or make him feel less of a whole man. But it is wonderful that we are finally beginning to speak about sex in an adult manner, that people are studying sex in a serious way, and perhaps consequently we will stop mutilating our baby boys' penises.
My husband and I have been partners for most of 43 years, and I have never tired of his beautiful body. I have serious health issues which have sometimes caused my sex drive to waver, but just looking at my husband's muscular forearms and their silky hair can turn me on. I love the stubble on his cheeks, the sweep of his eyelashes, his strong arms and legs, his penis, the tip of which peaks out at me from its hood of purple-pink skin.
I am a woman who consistently experiences orgasm during heterosexual intercourse. I never thought much about this, I just accepted it as normal, figuring it might have something to do with my husband's and my long-term relationship. Until I got a vibrator, the only way I experienced full-blown orgasms was while fucking. About a year ago I began reading about sex on the internet, discovered dodsonandross.com, and realized that my experience was not that common. I don't agree with Betty Dodson that it's extremely uncommon, but I think she has a point that often women do not get stimulation from intercourse and that a lot of women fake orgasms during intercourse.
It's great for women to learn to pleasure themselves and to teach their partners what gives them pleasure, and frankness about sexuality will go a long way toward liberating women's and men's sexuality. What is surprising is that circumcision itself may interfere in the intimacy between a man and a woman. There are young women speaking frankly on YouTube about sex, and their experiences have led me to believe that foreskins not only enhance men's sexual pleasure but also the pleasure of their female partners.
My husband's intact penis has made intercourse not only pleasurable but ultimately extremely satisfying. And all along I thought it was just his wonderful technique!

There are many different perceptions of what a beautiful man is. Just now you may be thinking your definition of a beautiful man looks like the man pictured above. His name is JD. He is 36. At home in Tennessee, he keeps his body smooth and he spends time in the gym. You may be imagining yourself with him in some secluded place, both of you naked, looking at and exploring each other with abandon. Those are the kinds of thoughts inspired by a beautiful man.
JD is in a relationship with a lady, though it might have been a guy if the right one had come his way. There has been only one occasion in his life where he experienced intimacy with another man. The guy was a stranger. They were in a car with their pants down, both masturbating, a scenario JD found quite exciting. His climax came quickly.
There was a time JD was self-conscious about the size of his penis, a time that has long since passed. Though he is now content with what Mother Nature has given him, he also believes size matters, somewhat that is. For example, he says there is such a thing as too big. Then again there is so much more to sex than penis size. He says: "I'm more attracted to a nice shaped penis, but I do admit a fascination with a big penis. A large flaccid penis hanging between a mans legs is a major turn on , but its all good."
It doesn't bother JD if a woman says she prefers a large penis, he's not threatened by it at all. In fact he has asked some of his past girlfriends to tease him about being small, finding it even more of a turn-on if she happens to prefer big penises. Nevertheless, JD is proud of what he has. When he gets a chance to visit a nude beach, he intends to show it off. I asked JD what motivates him to take nude pictures and if he shares them with anyone:
"I think growing up I never was really comfortable with my body. Taking nude pictures lets me judge myself and see the results of my hard work, and it makes me feel sexy. I share them with a few close friends and select web sites."
Like most of us, JD is tempted to look at other men in the locker room. For him, smooth, in shape guys are a plus. On the street he will sometimes check out a guys crotch to see if there is a bulge and wonder what his penis looks like, cut uncut, size, shape, etc. He also wonders if they are bigger than him. (Is there a man alive that doesn't do this?)
JD has a fantasy about anal sex. He would like to be penetrated by another man. His only experience to date is experimenting a little when he masturbates. He used his first vibrator Continue readingPin It
Growing numbers of people are discovering anal sex, a way to share an intimate part of their bodies that was once considered off limits. What is more intimate than the anus? It remains hidden even when we're naked (typically you have to bend your partner over and/or pry their butt cheeks apart to expose it). It's still considered dirty and taboo by most. Confined between a pair of damp butt cheeks, our anuses generate a distinct and bitter smell due to its association with the rectum and its sweaty environs. But the anus, in many ways, is the one body part men and women have in common … without the nearby physical features, you probably couldn't determine a person's gender by looking at their anus. This commonality includes our capacity for anal pleasure. The following are quotes from men and women that have discovered the magic and mystery of anal sex.
It's impossible for me not to feel close to a man when his finger is in my anus. There's a bond that develops that makes it impossible for it to happen with men who don't mean a thing to me. Anal sex is a special thing. I'm unwilling to perceive it as casual. I feel like putting someone's P in a V is more manageable and impersonal, but what do I know? I just know that it feels crazy good to get fucked in the ass. It hurts, it feels good, it feels wrong, it feels right. It's a dick going deep into your ass. It's a connection. I recommend it to everyone.
If she tells you "If I can do your ass,you can do mine", buy a strap on and have some fun!!!!! Nothing makes you appreciate anal sex more than having your woman give it to you and then you flipping her over and putting it in her behind…it makes for the most intense orgasms.
I am not recommending anyone to try something or saying that you should but, if you have never had anything in your butt and are curious you can always try a dildo. I do enjoy wearing a butt plug sometimes when I am home alone and it feels good to me. You have to realize though, that it is nothing like a real cock in any way. No matter how life like, it's not as comfortable and really doesn't feel anything at all like the real thing and won't do the things that a real one will.
I like the inch by inch penetration in me. His grip when he is about to ejaculate. My partner fingers me a lot before the action, he is happy with my natural lubrication. Please try to avoid higher speed of reciprocation your partner will lock in you.
I have been told that my asshole feels nice and tight, so it's not like I am loose or anything, but I have never really experienced the pain that is so often described. I have been fucked by a couple of guys that have, what I would consider, a fairly big cock. With those I will admit there was some discomfort until they were all the way in me and until I was adjusted to their size, but nothing I would consider real pain. I have used toys before that were painful to get in me, so I do actually know that feeling. Maybe I have just never been with someone that was really huge. At any rate, I wouldn't want to do it with someone that big. I am not into pain and, for me, getting my ass fucked is all about pleasure. A small or regular size well lubed cock actually slips right into me without much preparation at all. Also, there is nothing that feels unnatural about it to me. True, things normally go out of it, but my butt feels like it was intended to be fucked and I love the feeling of a cock sliding into it!
I like putting my dick in her asshole and then taking it out and looking how wide open her anus is with her rectal fluids all over it. Plus the smell drives me crazy and makes my dick throb.
There's nothing like feeling another guys dick up your ass, it's a wonderful feeling. Best is when he wants to shoot and he is making you shoot as well, then you feel your ring tighten round his shaft. Great feeling!!!!!
I really love the initial penetration as the cock-head first pushes through my anal ring and begins entering my rectum. I really like for the man to pull all the way out repeatedly and re-enter many times. Love, love, love it.
I am a straight female and I think that anal sex can be extremely romantic and loving. If you are with a person who you love and trust and it is done slowly and gently, it can be one of the sweetest and most satisfying moments in your love life. I think when people get over their fear Continue readingPin It

It is all about the profit margins. It will be $300, IMHO.
Poll: How much do you think Apple would charge for an 8GB iPad mini?
How much do you think Apple would change for an 8GB iPad mini? We've already had Chris Umiastowski weigh in with the investor perspective, but I'm all about the iMore nation -- I want to know what you think. The Amazon Kindle Fire and Google Nexus 7 are both $200 but both are also sold at break even or below, and Apple doesn't do that. Amazon and Google also have very different business models, and ones that don't require profitable hardware sales the way Apple's does.
Now Apple does sell the 8GB iPod touch for $200 already, but that hasn't been updated since 2010 and probably costs quite a bit less than that to make. Could Apple sell an iPad mini for the same price? If Apple keeps the entry-level iPod touch at $200, could Apple sell the iPad mini at $250? At $300?
The 16GB iPad 2 is currently $400. Could Apple get the entry-level iPad mini up anywhere near that? $350 maybe?
I don't think Apple could or would go lower than the current iPod touch, and I don't think they could (even if they would!) go any higher than the current iPad 2. So that leaves us with a range for about $200 to $350. Where do you see the iPad mini fitting in?
Check out all the info we put together on the iPad mini and then vote up top and tell me why you voted the way you did in the comments below!

Poll: How much do you think Apple would charge for an 8GB iPad mini?
I REALLY want it to be $199 but I don't see it from Apple. If they continue with their range of 24-34% profit margins, the 8gb will be $299. I wanna own a iPad but they are just too expensive, especially because I still need a computer. If the iMini is $199 I'm game. If it's higher for the 8gb, I'll go with the Galaxy Tab Student Edition ($249 including a keyboard & expandable memory).
Yep. I feel you on that one but I'd go Nexus 7. :-)
Apple doesn't have to offer price parity with the Nexus 7 but they have to be close enough. The iPad is worth a $50 premium in this instance.
Apple likes to show to people that they value their products highly by pricing them highly. There's little chance that they'll sell it for $200 because they want the iPad mini to appear more valuable. I can see them selling it at $250 but I could also see them selling it at a solid $300 dollars just to prove that their higher priced product will still snuff out the "competition" purely because it's better.
$350. Maybe $300. The 8Gb iPod Touch is $220, so an iPad isn't $200-$250 unless it replaces the iPod. Yes, smaller things can be more expensive, but often bigger tablets means the average customer sees a higher value. $300 is possible, but I can see them pricing it just below their last gen 16Gb iPad at $350 better.
I don't think it could replace the iPod. Regarding pricing, I'd buy the one I need, not the lowest priced one. Since an iPad mini won't fit in my pocket... I'd pay $200 for an iPod touch even if the iPad mini were only $150. They are two products for different uses, regardless of price.
I'm hoping for an updated iPod touch. I'd be REALLY happy to see both a new iPod touch and iPad mini, both at the $200 starting price point.
I doubt Apple would make an 8GB iPad Mini... tablet apps are simply too big to have a great experience.
Everything I'm about to say is for a 16GB iPad Mini.
$200 is absurd. We can just ignore that.
$250 is a little better for Apple... and would definitely suck the oxygen out of the room for the other guys.
But $300 would actually turn a profit for Apple... and still be attractive to N7 and KF buyers.
The iPad Mini will have a smaller, cheaper, non-Retina screen... maybe a slower processor... and a few other cutbacks. With Apple's supply chain efficiencies... they can get that price down and make a nice profit. And then there's the upsell opportunities:
$300 for the entry-level smaller iPad Mini 16GB
$400 for the bigger iPad 2 16GB
$500 for the Retina iPad 16GB
Remember... Apple is the king of the upsell. How many times do people walk into the store to buy a certain Apple product... and walk out with a better one?
I noticed this when I was pricing the Macbook Air:
$1000 gets you in the door for an 11" Macbook Air 64GB
$1100 doubles the SSD to 128GB
$1200 for 128GB *AND* a bigger 13" screen
Dammit... you went in to spend $1000 but ended up spending $1200... and got a much better machine. Apple makes it difficult to avoid going for the better model.
So maybe that's how it will go. Apple might gamble on the fact that most people will just go ahead and get the better model.
$300 gets you in the door for the iPad Mini.... but Apple dangles the bigger iPad 2 in front of your face for only $100 more. And another $100 for the Retina iPad.
But even if people do buy the iPad Mini... Apple still makes a profit on it. It gets the customer into the iPad ecosystem. And the next time around... they will buy another iPad (maybe a more expensive one)
And all this while still being in a similar price range of the other guys' tablets.
Come on... a Nexus 7 16GB is $250... I think people would easily spend $300 to get an iPad Mini 16GB instead.
I think what a Nexus or Fire costs is irrelevant. Apple sets the pricing. Most still have never heard of a Nexus tablet. The Kindle is a joke.
An 8gb ipad is useless but it could be the base burner at 250. This allows people to say it's 250 even if you'd never consider buying that version. 299 sounds right for the 16gb. 350-399 for 32gb. It still gives all of them room to drop later which will happen.
What people need to be aware of is where these prices will be in 6 months..12 months. We'll have refurbs, discounts from retailers, and then next year's version driving the prices down. Effectively, we'll see 199 and below soon enough.
---- An 8gb ipad is useless but it could be the base burner at 250. This allows people to say it's 250 even if you'd never consider buying that version. 299 sounds right for the 16gb. ----
True... but that kinda messes up Apple's pricing for other iPads.
If it's $250 for 8GB... and $300 for 16GB....... then how do you explain the $100 jump in price for each capacity of the bigger iPads?
That's why I kept the 8GB iPad Mini out of my prediction... for simplicity's sake :)
I don't think most people will see the iPad mini as more entry level, but will buy it specifically for the form factor or not. The $400 iPad 2 is the entry level for the regular iPad, even if a mini comes along. Most considering the mini probably won't be up-sold to the regular size unless the mini indeed does cost less and cost is their major factor. (ex: most people don't go to the Ford dealer to buy a Fiesta and get up-sold to a F150 pickup... they get a Fiesta loaded with more features or possibly some other model of similar type.)
There won't be an 8 GB version of the iPad mini. 16GB Yes.
I can see the commercial showing... "starting at $299"
Maybe the iPod Touch will be discontinued, and the 7" iPad will be "the new iPod" there is still the iPod nano etc for music-only devices. "the new iPod" could sell for the same $220, the price of the iPod touch that it replaces.
8GB iPad Mini makes no sense at all. Especially now with even bigger Universal Apps. AFAIK Apple hasn't released a new iOS device/generation with less than 16GB for 2 years...
So I vote for a 16GB iPad Mini for $299.
And I'm not sure if it makes sense for Apple to offer any other SKUs, at least financially.
I REALLY want it to be $199 but I don't see it from Apple. If they continue with their range of 24-34% profit margins, the 8gb will be $299. I wanna own a iPad but they are just too expensive, especially because I still need a computer. If the iMini is $199 I'm game. If it's higher for the 8gb, I'll go with the Galaxy Tab Student Edition ($249 including a keyboard & expandable memory).
There should be no 8 gig iPad Mini. iPad apps are large and tending larger, for Retina and other inevitabilities. Even with iCloud 8 gigs are not sufficient for a useful device. So, you start off with 16 gigs minimum, and price that at $300, offering two good cameras and everything except the Retina screen that is available on the larger iPad, scaling prices up for additional memory, GPS/cellular, as though the iPad mini was the sole iPad on sale. You don't market it as a smaller and less expensive product. You market it as an iPad that features a smaller size, but is not otherwise treated as a lesser product.

I've always wondered what him and De Niro thought about being with Belushi on that final night.
Whiskey Sour
2 oz blended whiskey
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1/2 tsp powdered sugar
1 cherry
1/2 slice lemon
Shake blended whiskey, juice of lemon, and powdered sugar with ice and strain into a whiskey sour glass. Decorate with the half-slice of lemon, top with the cherry, and serve.
We loved him. We all loved him. Hard to find that.
Still, I feel little. The only celebrity death I ever felt bad about was John Candy.

I had the soundtrack to Good Morning Vietnam on cassette, listened to it all the time. Not only did it have some great oldies, but there were also clips from the movie of him on the air.
RIP Mr. Williams.
We're here to play some Mississippi Delta Blues. We're in a horrible depression, and I gotta admit - we're starting to like it.
RIP. Sometimes the most troubled souls hide behind smiles. I always felt his more dramatic roles were more akin and indicative of his actual persona. More so than his zany comedic roles. His performance in 'Goodwill Hunting' always cut me deep. He will be missed.
I would never want to belong to any club that would have someone like me for a member...
I'm still in shock.
I finally watched the Fisher King last night. Great movie. But I also watched Worlds Greatest Dad, which was kind of shitty timing.

jesus, apparently he tried to cut himself with a knife and eventually hanged himself from the bedroom closet door. hanging seems like a rough way to go if you're not breaking your neck first.
With the shit shape our world is in today, if there's anyone who can make God laugh about it, it's Robin Williams... R.I.P. to one of my comedic heroes... You will be sorely missed...

Quick question, has anyone else here actually held a fetus? They're not very cute.
Listened to Maron's 2010 interview with him today. It's a bit unnerving to hear him reaffirm how well his mental state was then in contrast to how his life ended. Depression is truly awful.

He's not resting. He's dead.

TV Store Online has a variety of Dodgeball t-shirts perfect for all comedy fans, no matter your fitness level!
If you have never seen Dodgeball then you must see it now. This movie tells the story of a small gym owner and some of his regular patrons who band together to try to stop a takeover by a larger gym. The small gym owner is played by Vince Vaughn while the larger gym owner is played by Ben Stiller.
As the smaller gym tries to raise money to keep the gym, they enter a Dodgeball competition where they will ultimately play against Stiller�s gym: Globo Gym. Vince Vaughn�s team � the Average Joes, are the underdogs from the start and it seems as if everything that can go wrong for them does...including them getting the wrong uniforms...hilarious ones, but wrong nonetheless.
Whether you are a fan of the Average Joe's or of the Globo Gym Purple Cobras, you can support their team when you wear the costumes portraying them.

Quick, who is the most insane person ever to play professional basketball? I'm guessing one of your first guesses is Dennis Rodman. Yeah, he played inspired defense. But he also was dirty. And he kicked photographers in the nuts. And he made action movies with Jean Claude Van Damme. And he showed up to his book signing wearing a wedding dress. If all of the above isn't proof enough that Dennis Rodman is a legitimate crazy person, I present the following headline from the Sporting News: Dennis Rodman wants Nobel Prize after time in North Korea Yeah, maybe you remember that Rodman went to North Korea this Spring to hang out with other crazy person and dictator Kim Jong-Un. Rodman, who for some strange and unexplainable reason, thought he was "breaking the ice" between the U.S. and North Korea. In an interview with Sports Illustrated, Rodman said: Why it's been left to me to smooth things over, I don't know. Dennis Rodman, of all people. Keeping us safe is really not my job; it's the black guy's [Obama's] job. Dennis Rodman: Basketball Hall-of-Famer, Action Movie Star, and Nobel Prize Winner? Yeah, that's not happening. But crazy is as crazy does. [...]
Hate to tell this idiot, but him befriending that little twit in korea has not made the world safer. The cowardly little prick doesn't have the balls to attack South Korea because he knows he will open his schitty little country up to a major asss whipping. So he was never going to attack anyway, he's all talk and posturing. His military is a joke anyway since they are mainly outfitted with former Soviet castoffs...a bunch a clowns is all they are.

SOUTH KINGSTOWN ŌĆō While Governor Lincoln Chafee is proposing $88 million in tax hikes, in South Kingstown, Town Manager Stephen Alfred said there will be no more tax increases next year.
The good news is a testament to the townŌĆÖs approach to handling its finances with a low bond debt and a highly funded pension system.
In today's paper, we have the start of the first budget workshops in South Kingstown, where Town Manager Stephen Alfred proposed no new tax increases.
In Narragansett, we have the story on how the Coast Guard changed their local response to incidents on the sea and how it affects the fishermen.
In sports, the headline story is how the University of Rhode Island Coach Jim Baron has been realeased from the remaining two years of his contract as Rams head basketball coach.
Inside, we have the story on how convicted killer Michael Woodmansee is being allowed to vote.
CRANSTON ŌĆō After submitting voter registration forms last month, convicted child killer Michael Woodmansee will be allowed to cast his vote in the April 24 primary as a democrat despite being locked up in the state mental institution.
The news, reported by ABC 6 News last night, has raised the question on whether those incarcerated, voluntarily or not, should have the right to vote.
NARRAGANSETTŌĆöThe town council voted unanimously to pass a first reading for amendments to the response costs ordinance which has been scrutinized in recent months by both the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and local residents. The ordinance, passed in December, allows police officers to assess additional charges to responsible parties when responding to a disturbance, namely college and summer parties.
SOUTH KINGSTOWN ŌĆō At 10 Sunday morning three untenured special education teachers found out their jobs had been terminated. Two days later on Tuesday night, National Education Association ŌĆō South Kingstown filled the West Kingston Elementary School auditorium to defend them.
Wearing their trademark bulls-eye t-shirts and holding bright pink signs denouncing bullying, the union showing took the thunder away from what was originally planned as a school committee workshop session on the stateŌĆÖs common core standards.
SOUTH KINGSTOWNŌĆöPope Paul III, famous Montreal Canadien Henri ŌĆśThe Pocket RocketŌĆÖ Richard, and rapper Ja Rule have all come into the world on leap days, and now little Grace Mitchell of East Greenwich joins them. Mitchell is the first-born leap baby at South County Hospital in 2012, and her parents are overjoyed that their daughter has come on such a unique day.
ŌĆ£It is exciting and doesnŌĆÖt come very often,ŌĆØ said Jennifer Mitchell, GraceŌĆÖs mother. ŌĆ£She came on actual due date and I wasnŌĆÖt sure sheŌĆÖs be on time, but she was ready.ŌĆØ
In this week's paper, we have a story on how NEA-SK filled the West Kingstown Elementary School cafeteria during Tuesday's school committee to defend three teachers who were fired.
We also have the story of this year's Leap Year baby at South County Hospital and the report on how Executive Director of the Institute of International Sport purchased property in North Carolina while he received grant money from the state.
All and more inside, today's Narragansett Times.
SOUTH KINGSTOWN ŌĆō In an effort to reach public consensus on the hotly debated issue of LED signs, the town council approved extending the expiration date of the sign ordinance to Aug. 27 to allow for the Planning Board to conduct a series of community meetings to reach a decision that fits within the townŌĆÖs comprehensive plan.
The decision Monday night is the third time in two years the planning boardŌĆÖs deadline to provide a recommendation on whether LED signs should be permitted in the commercial highway district on Old Tower Hill Road was extended.
SOUTH KINGSTOWN ŌĆō The scandal surrounding the Institute for International Sport has shined a light on the legislative grant program that provided the $575,000 missing grant to the nonprofit, renewing an age-old debate on its merits among local legislators and state leaders.
PROVIDENCEŌĆöA number of state officials met at the Save the Bay building on upper Narragansett Bay Friday afternoon to announce the removal of CoxŌĆÖs Ledge from the area of consideration for Deepwater WindŌĆÖs offshore wind project. CoxŌĆÖs Ledge, a popular spot for Rhode Island commercial fishermen, was taken out of the proposed ŌĆśWind Energy AreaŌĆÖ (WEA), preventing the construction of wind turbines in an environment which is vital to the commercial fishing industry.

'Pulling Sensation' in the Eye. Is a CT Warranted?
Page 1 of 3
"It's all about how you play the game," you explain to your intern. "As an EM physician, you are a healer, an educator, a detective, a diagnostician, and a master strategist all rolled into one." He still appears rather frustrated that the internal medicine team is trying to "block" his admissions for the 65-year-old gentleman with newly diagnosed metastatic lung cancer and the 52-year-old lady with CHF and a BNP of 16,000 ng/L. They've told him that the patients don't meet "admission criteria" and that they are refusing to consult on the patient. He's tried being polite, and when that didn't work, he tried the more assertive route, to no avail. You and your senior residents provide your eager intern with some helpful hints about how to sell a better story and reiterate that we must be our patient's best advocates – especially in their time of need. You offer to talk to the consultant yourself, but your intern decides he wants to try to take care of it himself. He says he's going to go see one more patient, calm down, and then redirect his energy into getting the first two admitted.
After about 10 minutes, you go and check on your intern with the new patient he's picked up in room 33. The patient is a 41-year-old male who presents to the ED with concerns that his left eye is progressively getting more swollen. He's had some increasing eye pain and purulent drainage over the past six days. At first he thought that he was just having really bad seasonal allergies, but today, he started feeling a "pulling sensation" on the medial aspect of his left eye. He denies any headache, diplopia, sinus pain, rhinorrhea, nausea, vomiting, or recent trauma. He does note a subjective fever at home, and his temperature is 38.2°C in the ED. His vital signs otherwise demonstrate tachycardia to 123 bpm, but a normal blood pressure, oxygen saturation, and respiratory rate.
Your intern has asked the nurse to obtain a visual acuity on the patient and he is systematically going through his ocular exam when you walk by the room to check on him. He comes out of the room to give you an update on what he's discovered so far. The patient has tenderness to palpation over his left medial orbit and possible entrapment on ocular exam. He has no additional pain with extraocular movement and no diplopia, but has so much periorbital edema that it wasn't possible to get a consistent Tonopen measurement. There doesn't appear to be any fluorescein uptake on the slit lamp exam, and other than conjunctival injection and the lid swelling, the patient has a normal ocular exam.
What do you see on the ultrasound images?

Lvl 64... Enchanting... New Cooking Recipes
Also, I got Kaliope to level 64 this afternoon. I've decided to focus on just one toon from here on out. That's the only way I'm going to make it to the upper 60s before release. Korlyn will continue mining ore but I won't level her any higher since she can already mine all the ores needed for smithing and jewelcrafting.
I do however need someone to unlock the higher level vendors. It seems that most of the 65+ recipes are available through drops or faction. If I don't get faction with these groups, I can't even interact with the vendors to view their recipes. This is pretty important if I'm going to be able to bring more recipe information online. So Kaliope is going to try to unlock as much as she can over the next two weeks. Today I just got access to the Kurenai vendor, and they are also sending me to the Telaar folks in Nagrand. I haven't been able to talk with either of these groups before today, so I'm happy about opening up these factions finally.
I'm also working on the updates for Cooking and First Aid this weekend - my other big project. The new Kurenai vendor had two recipes that I hadn't been able to find previously. Thottbot has about twice as many new Cooking recipes than I've seen in game so far. What I'm finding out is that these missing recipes are tied to quests I can't do yet and factions I haven't unlocked. I'll do my best to remedy that before release so that you guys know what to do if you want to collect the cooking recipes.

Hi, Brad again. Sorry to hear you have to focus on one toon.ReplyDelete
Are you finding the mobs your killing/grinding to be of equal difficulty for your level ? For example is killing a 63 mob at Level 63 the same difficulty as killing a 60 at 60 ? Or do they seem to have amped up the difficulty in general for BC.
hey mate, come check out my TBC blog i'm starting:ReplyDelete
i'll add you to my links thingy now
Hi again Brad - I always knew that keeping up with 4 toons with less than 2 months to release would be an impossible mission. I'm just glad that I got my hunter high enough to mine all the relevant ores. It's really Kaliope that still needs to progress, she has yet to reliably skin knothide leather (as opposed to scraps).ReplyDelete
Well I started responding to your question about mob difficulty and it's turning into a novella. Plus I think others might also want to see this info, so I'm going to put it into a post - look for it here shortly :)
Thanks for sticking around my wee blog and sending me such great questions!

Udderly Natural Care
Freedom Acres Farm. And thankfully, I can report that we've not had one bit of problem with any udders around here! I really do think the wisdom of using the natural ingredients, along with thoroughly milking the goats out each time, has allowed our goats to be mastitis free. And Lord willing, they're remain that way!
The second recipe incorporates essential oils. After attending the Vintage Remedies on-line conference this month, I learned just how powerful these oils really are! I knew they had a few properties that were good for us, but I just didn't realize their full potential! Since then, I've decided to take the Family Herbalist course and learn even more (I like to know the why and how of things, I guess)!
Prior to milking, I wipe down the udder and teats with a baby wipe. I know that isn't particularly natural, is it? It's driving me nuts... using paper towels and/or baby wipes. None of it really has made me say "Ureka! That's it!". So I've succumbed to convenience until I find the right solution. (I think I better just get over it.)
Next, I milk and then follow with these much more natural solutions...
Udderly Natural Teat Spray
15-20 drops Grapefruit Seed Extract (GSE)
12 oz. water
Add water to a spray bottle and then add GSE. Shake gently before each use.
Notes: At Freedom Acre Farms, they use this recipe for cows and do it as a dip by putting it in a small dixie cup (4 oz. water with 5-7 drops GSE). For my very small goats (and only two at that), I felt I was wasting too much, so I purchased this excellent spray bottle from Hoegger Goat Supply that sprays upward rather than straight out. I just hold it under the udder along with the wipe I used prior to milking so as to catch the drips, and I spray.
Udderly Natural Daily Teat Balm
1 cup coconut oil
30 drops peppermint essential oil
30 drops tea tree essential oil
Incorporate essential oils into the coconut oil and place in a small mason jar (shallow with wide mouth is best). Apply after teat spray daily or as needed to prevent chaffing.
Note: I use this almost daily during the dry winter months, but if it isn't necessary, I won't use it. I also cut this recipe in half because it goes a long way and I'd rather make a fresh batch periodically.
I encourage you to visit Freedom Acre Farms and read more about their natural udder care for livestock, including a natural wipe prior to milking. These two recipes have certainly worked well... I'm sure their natural wipes do, too!
Thank you Freedom Acre Farm!
I'd love to hear about your natural udder care solutions!

I always use GSE/water mixture for my teat spray. I use to use a vodka/water mix that works too! I will have to try this udder balm :) I bought a stack of colored wash cloths, so I know they're the goats wipes! They work great, and I just throw them in the wash daily.ReplyDeleteReplies
Good idea, Abby Jo!Delete
I stumbled across this DIY for baby wipes.ReplyDelete
Is it natural??
Baby oil is mineral oil
Baby shampoo - Aveeno makes a supposedly more natural product
Hope this helps a bit.Replies
I don't know if the baby oil would be considered natural, but just the tip on cutting the paper towels in half and how she did it was EXCELLENT! Thanks for sending that link!Delete
What would you use instead of baby oil?? I've always thought that was so gentle. Maybe I've been mistaken?Delete
Little Bird, from what I've been able to find out, baby oil is just mineral oil with fragrance added. Mineral oil is a petroleum bi-product (actually distilled from petroleum). Also, it's interesting to note that mineral oil is a bit ambiguous and can vary from manufacturer to manufacturer.Delete
Since I'm cleaning an area in close contact with my food source, I'd say... not safe. Just my humble opinion.
If anyone has better information on this, please chime in! We're here to learn from each other!
I have no idea if this would work for your goats, but I make my own wipe solution and use cloth wipes. You can find the recipe here http://www.townsend-house.com/2012/02/cloth-wipes-and-wipe-solution-recipe.html And you could just use old rags and wash them separately :-)ReplyDeleteReplies
Heather, Seems like those ingredients would do a good job and I have all of them on hand! I'll give this a try using the system A Little Bird linked to at http://theehingers.blogspot.com/2010/10/homemade-baby-wipes.html.Delete
Thanks for the link!
What a great post! I absolutely LOVE your blog and find it so inspiring. My husband and I are (trying) to buy our first home and have so many dreams of slowly becoming more and more self-sufficient.ReplyDelete
I've ALWAYS preferred herbal/homeopathic remedies, but often feel like some of the info I find online is incomplete or contradictory. I'm currently pregnant and teach natural childbirth education. When you mentioned the "Family Herbalist" course I instantly was interested and found they have a course for birth professionals! I can't wait to add it to my continuing education!
Loving your blog!Replies
If you sign up, I'd be grateful if you use the link in this post or the Vintage Remedies link on my sidebar since I'm an affiliate. And if you blog, you could become an affiliate, too!!Delete
This is my two cents...Kirkland (Costco) paper towel sheets are much bigger than baby wipes and cheaper too! They hold up well in water.ReplyDelete
You should consider whatever you use as a SINGLE USE wipe. Do not use the wipe you used initially again after milking (or any other time)
It sounds like you are not using any disinfectant before milking, but consider what they have been lying on/in. You need to disinfect the udder BEFORE milking so that the bacteria isn't in your milk. (GSE is great for that!)
LOVE your recipe for the udder balm. I'm sure it smells tons better than Bag Balm or the like!A drop or two of lavender EO would be good to add too for it's anti-everything properties. I hope this encourages you. :-) Happy milking!Replies
I think you're absolutely right on the cost and size being larger. Check out this neat way A Little Bird linked to for making them "dispense" - although I wouldn't use the baby oil recipe. http://theehingers.blogspot.com/2010/10/homemade-baby-wipes.htmlDelete
Thanks for the tips, too. I know you've had some experience with this and I really appreciate your advice!
Thanks for sharing about this. I was surprised when we got goats a year ago that many use a 'bleach dip'. We found this recipeReplyDelete
on Green Acres farm. It has worked great!
I will check out your links, too. We are down to only milking one goat presently, and I have never noticed an 'off' taste with the essential oils.
We've also had good success with Molly's Herbals (Mo's milk) for milking does along with the Diamond V Yeast Culture. Without breeding last fall our doe is STILL milking 3/4 of a gallon each morning :)Replies
I loe Molly's herbals and we use the Mo Milk, too. I have heard about the Diamond V Yeast Culture, but haven't tried it yet. I need to see if they have it locally...Delete

Thanks for the information. I found a recipe for goat wipes.... don't know where but it uses paper towels rolls cut in half esiential oils, dawn dishwashing liquid, baby oil.... i really like it.ReplyDelete
Hmmm, my first comment seems to have disappeared, or otherwise not shown up... :-/ Trying this again, thanks for the great tips and ideas!! :) I currently have seven goats and one cow (working up to 3-5 cows and 15-20 goats), and am also an herbalist. I always enjoy finding new ways to keeping the milking stuff natural. The usual bleach/iodine dilution has been to hard on my girls, so I may try the GSE mix.ReplyDelete
We use a clean rag (that's washed and recycled) to wash before hand in hot water with a drop of liquid dish soap and also a drop of Thieves essential oil: http://www.youngliving.com/thieves-essential-oil/Thieves-Oil. As an aside, sometimes irritations in the udder are due to laying on urine-soaked bedding. Simply freshening the stall daily goes a long way.ReplyDelete

Your recipe say Grape Seed Extract, but your picture has Grape Fruit Seed Extract. They are different, is the picture the correct one?ReplyDeleteReplies
Good catch! Thanks for pointing it out... It's GrapeFRUIT seed extract. Sorry I wrote it up wrong.Delete
Thank you so much for visiting and linking to my blog! We have been on a crusade to be chemical free, plastic free, and paper free - we are so close to succeeding :-)ReplyDelete
A small update on my post that you linked to: we have since dropped the paper towels and I have cut up t-shirts, scrap flannel, and even some fleece into nice sized squares. We use one (or sometimes several) to clean her up depending on how dirty she is. We NEVER dip a used wipe into the clean dish soap water that containes GSE. Then once a week I wash them up in our washtub. So I wash the family wipes after one load and the cow wipes after another load of people clothes.
So glad you could glean something useful from my blog. I've had both writers block AND total overwhelming homestead work lately and haven't been posting as I'd like. So many self sufficient things going on at our homestead but no time to blog about them LOLReplies
I'm so glad to spread the word about your blog and great idea! And I totally get the "no time to blog" thing! But just think of all the ideas you'll have gleaned from your hard work when winter comes and things slow down a bit. You'll have tons to blog about!Delete
- AnonymousAugust 24, 2012 at 8:35 AM
Help! I use your recipes for balm and fly repellent...but your blog is down. Can I get them here?Delete
This is fantastic! Thank you for posting about this as I've been doing research about this topic lately. :) Love your blog!ReplyDelete
Hi and was wondering what you folks think about drinking raw milk! RichardReplyDeleteReplies
So glad you asked! I love this topic and I've written several posts which you can find here: http://homesteadrevival.blogspot.com/search/label/Raw%20Milk
Just a few posts with my humble opinion :-)
I think that's really awesome that there are natural care products for animals, just like for humans!!! I'm glad your goats respond well to the spray that you made for them :) Love and hugs from the ocean shores of California, Heather ;)ReplyDelete
I've been using Vetericyn teet spray. I was so pleased to find your recipe, I'd prefer organic and I'm betting it won't be $30 per bottle. I use baby wipes with a spritz of VTS to clean before and then when I'm done milking and stripping I give a final strip and hold the end of the teet and spritz again with VTS. No germs will get in my girls teets! Thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete
I just started making my own udder balm using sweet almond oil infused with lemon balm, mallow and elder flowers. After three days I strain the herbs out and warm the oil and add beeswax and Vit. E oil(preservative) to make a salve. Pour into a small mason jar until set. I just started following your blog and love it.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJune 24, 2012 at 12:20 PM
I really like microfiber towels for wiping, they seem to be the least abrasive. There is also a lot of recent data saying that vitamin D is really effective in the treatment and prevention of mastitisReplyDelete
Great ideas! And come over to my site and enter my 1 year blogversary giveaway! :)ReplyDelete
this is great! Thank you so much!ReplyDelete
I hate to be the party pooper here, but grape fruit seed extract is actually not all that natural or safe. The reason for it's antibacterial properties is the manufacturing process it has to go through in order to get the "extract" - it is not like an essential oil. The by product of this process is Benzethonium chloride, which is quite toxic.ReplyDelete
More info here;
However, something that truly is natural and effective against broad spectrum microbes is the four thieves essential oil blend. It has actually been tested and proven effective;
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I hope this is helpful!Replies
:-( I think you're right that it may be an issue unless one is REALLY sure of the source. I also read here : http://www.drweil.com/drw/u/QAA400888/Is-Grapefruit-Seed-Extract-Any-Good.htmlDelete
HOWEVER... Mountain Rose Herbs has a grapefruit seed extract that has tested benzethonium chloride free: http://www.mountainroseherbs.com/learn/grapefr.php
I'll use there grapefruit seed extract in the future or I'll try the four thieves essential oil blend that you mentioned... I'm very interested in the use of essential oils and am excited about trying more. Thanks for helping out, Rachel!!
what do you guys think of putting the GSE drops into vinegar rather than water? would that increase the disinfecting properties AND would it be safe and good for my Annabelle? thanks in advance for any responses. I am trying to go all natural with her!ReplyDelete
We're so interested in trying these recipes out when our girls freshen next month! We don't bottle feed here at Happy Harris Farm. Would any of these teat sprays or balms affect the way a kid would nurse if they decided to do so soon after a milking session where we applied one of these balms or sprays containing essential oils? We use the oils for ourselves and know they can be quite potent!ReplyDelete

Tryon Media launches iPhone app
Duluth media technology company, Tryon Media, recently launched an iPhone app, Regalia, which will connect readers to the latest fashion content from around the globe.
Tryon Media, a celebrity and fashion content company, was founded by Lara Signorelli and Markus Muller. The two moved the business from New York to Duluth in 2010 and currently work from the fourth floor of the DeWitt Seitz Building in Canal Park.
Large cities like New York, London, Paris or Berlin have traditionally been the natural nerve centers of journalism, simply because of their close proximity to important events. Entertainment and fashion have traditionally focused on celebrity hotspots or the fashion capitals. To assert that Tryon Media would turn Duluth into an acknowledged and well-esteemed hub for fashion entertainment, may have seemed far-fetched, say the company's founders.
Over the past two years, however, major publishing houses, like Bauer Media, Condé Nast, Hearst, or Burda Media, as well as top-ranking photo agencies like, Picture Alliance, Sipa Press or Rex Features, have published quality fashion journalism by Tryon Media.
The new app is available free of charge on the iTunes app store.

It is important to note that according to the college's nondiscriminatory policy, applying students do not have to inform the college that they have a disability. However, it is to the student's advantage to inform college personnel as quickly and as completely as possible. By law, the college is required to provide any reasonable accommodations that may be necessary in order for the student with disabilities to have equal access to educational opportunities and services. If these accommodations are not requested, the college is not legally obligated to provide them. Therefore, it is the student's responsibility to identify him/herself to the Disability Support Services Office and to provide adequate documentation of his/her disability prior to accommodations being received. It is also important that parents understand that they cannot arrange accommodations for their children at the post-secondary level. The student must request and consent to the services provided.
Documentation of the student's disability is to be provided to the Disability Services office. Students who meet the eligibility guidelines for the Student Support Services guidelines will be referred to the SSSP office as openings for new program participants become available. Documentation submitted to either the Disability Support Services Office or the Student Support Services Office is kept in confidential files and is kept separate from other college records. Records in each office will remain confidential unless the student signs a written release form. When requesting accommodations from your college instructors, it is NOT necessary to provide them with copies of your documentation. If an instructor needs to confirm your need for accommodations, ask them to call Disability Services or Student Support Services at 443-518-1300. The accommodations required by students may differ, depending on the nature of the student's disability.
Because of the difficulty in finding sign language interpreters, students who are deaf and are in need of sign language interpreters must notify Disability Support Services minimum of two weeks prior to classes. To be better prepared to meet your need for a sign language interpreter, we strongly encourage you to allow us to assist you with the selection of your courses and suggest you register early.

Es-say it's so: Write for a youth huntContinue reading.
Want to write in Ernest Hemingway's Oak Park home?
He may have spent only the first six years of his life there, but Ernest Hemingway called it home. And who knows how much the Victorian house in the near west suburb inspired the youngster to take up paper and pen?
To wit, applications are still being accepted (through June 1) by the Ernest Hemingway Foundation in Oak Park for any writer, of any age, to apply for the chance at a yearlong residency in which the winner gets to write in a specially appointed room in the home's attic. It could be a book, a poem, a collection of essays — anything that could use a little inspiration from the late author's earliest environment.
Watch ABC7 video of the contest announcement.
The winner will be selected by the foundation and will be announced at the Hemingway Birthday Celebration on July 21 in Oak Park.

DENVER Boise State University men's tennis player Steve Robertson has been named the Western Athletic Conference Men's Tennis Player of the Week for the week of Mar. 5-Mar. 11. This is the first honor for the sophomore this spring.
Steve Robertson, a sophomore from Tualatin, Ore., collected three victories over a two-day period to help Boise State go 3-0. Robertson bounced throughout the Boise State lineup and found success wherever he played. Against Pacific he played No. 3 as he ousted Alan Kelly 6-2 and 6-2. The following match against Idaho Robertson dropped John Hieb 6-1 and 6-1 at the No. 2 position. Finally, Robertson played No. 5 and dominated Kamil Pajkowski of New Mexico as Boise State defeated the No. 58 Lobos, 4-3. With the victories Robertson extended his team-high winning streak to seven matches and improved to 10-1 in dual match play.
