Apple is falling under a lot of scrutiny lately, and the fact that they have been sued for selling Chinese individuals refurbished phones without detailing the fact that they are Kurdish will likely be another thorn in the side of the company. They have been accused of selling refurbished unlocked iPhone 4 as if they were new to vices and the various Beijing Apple stores. The lawsuit will include many different people and will be helmed by consumer rights advocate Wang Hai, lesbian involved in a number of very high profile cases over the course of the last few years.
The phones were sold as if they were completely new devices, but then when purchasers were that the manufacturer warranties expire in less than one year from the date of purchase that they figure out that they were actually refurbished devices. The lawsuit also claims that when one user to their own back to the Apple store to confront them, stack of the store trying to confuse them by altering the warranty date.
In a statement that was released about the lawsuit, Wang stated that he felt that Chinese consumers have been discriminated against because reverse cell phones were sold to them. He stated that these phones are available in other countries at a reduced price, and felt that Google had knowingly misled consumers in China. Tricking consumers into buying refurbished phones as if they were brand-new is definitely something that would leave Apple liable, and it will be interesting to see how the company reacts to these accusations. A number of other consumers throughout Beijing have come forward to claim that they were tricked into purchasing a refurbished unlocked iPhone 4 and will be taking part in the lawsuit. Apple has yet to publicly respond to the lawsuit, but you can expect them to address this issue at some point in the near future publicly.

Cedeno to DL, Hefner back down, Valdespin activated
Following today's game, the team demoted RHP Jeremy Hefner and activated infield prospect Jordany Valdespin, who will be active for game 2 of today's double header.
April 23, 4:00 pm: Ronny Cedeno has been placed on the 15-day disabled list with a strained left intercostal muscle.
To take Cedeno's place on the roster, the Mets promoted Hefner from Triple-A Buffalo.
To read earlier updates from this story,
April 23, 12:44 pm: According to SNY's Matt Dunn, RHP Jeremy Hefner and Mets infield prospect Jordany Valdespin are in Flushing today as part of the team's "taxi squad," though they have not been officially activated or added to the 25-man roster as of yet.
April 23, 12:18 pm: According to ESPN's Enrique Rojas, the Mets have promoted INF/OF Jordanny Valdespin from Triple-A Buffalo.
Back in March, Sandy Alderson had the following to say about Valdespin:
[jbox color="gray"]"He's got some real talent. He can do a lot of things that some of our other players cannot. He can run. He can play any of the positions up the middle so he has great versatility. He can be a very valuable player to us. I don't think he's going to be on the club immediately, but I do think he does have a future with us and it could be in more than a utility role."
In 17 games this year for Buffalo, Valdespin was hitting .276 with two homers, 7 RBI, 13 runs scored, 2 stolen bases and a .321 OBP.

Percy Warner Park is located in Davidson and Williamson counties and is connected to Edwin Warner Park. Collectively, these two parks are known as Warner Parks. Together they cover 2,648 acres, making them, in combination, the largest municipal parks in the state. They opened in 1927 and are located on land donated by Percy Warner's daughter Percie and her husband, Luke Lea. The parks were named after her father, a member of the old Nashville Board of Park Commissioners, and her uncle Edwin, who was also a park commissioner.
Percy Warner Park is characterized by the steps built into the mountain located at the entrance of the park on Belle Meade Boulevard. The park is home to two golf courses, a nature center, and the Iroquois Steeplechase, which has been held there since May 1941. The parks were named to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.

Exemplory PRS design and craftsmanship.
Carlos Santanas longstanding creative partnership with Paul Reed Smith has done much to shape the destiny of PRS Guitars. Over the years, PRS has honored this pivotal alliance by offering variations of his signature model instrument. The 2011 Santana model again comes standard with a maple top, mahogany back, rosewood fretboard, 24 fret mahogany neck, 24 1/2 scale length, and PRS tremolo.
V12 Finish
The finish should enhance the look, sound, and feel of a guitar by accentuating the wood's inherent beauty and feel without hindering its natural resonance. And PRS Guitars' new "V12" finish does just that. Introduced at Experience PRS 2010, "V12" is a very thin, hard, and clear finish that will not crack or react with thinners. After roughly 12 years in development, it is halfway between acrylic and nitro but with a classic feel all its own. "PRS models with this new finish feel like old instruments," said Paul Reed Smith.
You deserve a quality instrument - order the Santana Signature model today.

Topic Title: JFET Guitar Amplifier Advice

I'm building a simple JFET guitar amplifier for home - just an impedance buffer really so that I can plug guitars straight into the mic input of my mixer. Most circuits I can see on the web are common source amplifiers but with no bypass capacitor on the source resistor. Although I'm not an expert on discrete circuits (to put it mildly!) wouldn't a source bypass capacitor be a good idea? Or doesn't it make any difference in practice? Anyone here got any experience?
See, for example, the circuits at www.till.com

I'm no expert on analogue electronics either, but my immediate thought is that if you added a capacitor, it could muck up the frequency response by presenting a frequency-dependent impedance to the source.
In particular, if you stick a capacitor in parallel with R1, then the impedance will drop at high frequencies.

Ok, with a bit more browsing and thinking I think I understand what the idea is now - perhaps someone could confirm I've got this right?
With the source resistor NOT bypassed a common source JFET amplifier works like this: The source voltage follows the gate voltage (i.e. this bit is a source follower). This defines the current flowing through the source resistor, Vin / Rs, this current will then be flowing through the drain resistor Rd*. Voltage gain will therefore be Rd / Rs.
With the source resistor bypassed the gain is just transconductance (gm) x Rd*, hence gain is dependent upon the gm for that particular device and the linearity depends upon the linearity of gm against Vin.
So for a single stage audio amp with no other feedback you DON'T want to bypass the source resistor, you want to use it to set your gain.
Am I right? I will award myself a Malteser** if so!
* Actually should be Rd // Rload, but I'm keeping it simple for the moment

Consider yourself awarded a virtual chocolate based confection.
You might like to have a play with the various circuits you've been looking at by entering them into the free web-based simulation tool:
Beware though that the overall frequency response will be heavily influenced by the guitar pickup and the circuitry built around it internal to the instrument.
There's a Circuitlab example of what some people call a tone stack here:
Searching their site for "tone stack" will turn up some more bits and bobs.
Alternatively you could try the excellent, free, unlimited mixed-mode spice simulator, LTspiceIV from:
Both can be run on Linux, Mac and Windows. Circuitlab can be run on Android and iPad too.

Consider yourself awarded a virtual chocolate based confection.
Many thanks!
I've moved on a bit now, having had a cunning thought in the early hours of the morning that I could make a phase splitter (by taking the output from the source and drain sides) and feed it as a balanced signal into the mixer input - may give me a bit of extra voltage swing and will be interesting to try anyway. Have come up with a VERY cunning plan (if I say so myself, and assuming it works ) to keep the impedances equal given the phantom power circuit.
The other free simulator (the one I use at home normally but not at the moment as I've just rebuilt my PC) is PSPICE at http://www.electronics-lab.com/downloads/schematic/013/
But as I'm on holiday this week I'll probably just knock up the circuit - will probably be quicker than installing the simulator and remembering how to drive it!!
It's a bit sad that I only get to do proper engineering in my holidays now Ho hum, the joys of management...

You probably don't use simulation enough to be too bothered about it this but I gave up on PSpice years ago. The link is to version 9.1 which is very old now but even the up to date version still has a lot of convergence problems and dubious tricks to try to avoid them. Plus of course the demo version is either heavily node or - nowadays - time limited.
I have found SIMetrix to be about the fastest and most well behaved spice simulator with a very generous free Intro version. The GUI is nice too.
LTspiceIV is a bit slower but I've found it about on a par with SIMetrix for accuracy and convergence. I can also make it do things that are tricky to achieve in SIMetrix. Overall both SIMetrix and LTspiceIV are two of the best spice simulators available at any price.
Whatever, it sounds like you're going to have fun on your holiday anyway!
Andy Fierman
24 August 2012 07:49 PM
Since I don't do any design work in the day job any more I haven't personally used simulation professionally for a few years (except for some really trivial cases). My team does still use PSPICE (since we have it and are used to it) but I agree that convergence can be a problem. They also now use the Proteus simulator built into ISIS (since we use ISIS for our schematic capture anyway) which so far seems slightly better perhaps than PSPICE, but to be honest our serious simulation is moving much more over to MATLAB.
For home use I find the 9.1 version fine - but then I've been simulating audio circuits in various forms of SPICE for nearly 25 years so 9.1 is modern to me!! I remember the days when we would leave our machines running overnight to plot the time response of a two pole filter...
But many thanks for the tips, I will look into SIMetrix for my own use at least.

I'd recommend having a play with LTspiceIV too. The GUI seems a bit clunky but is quick to pick up and makes it easy to do some very powerful things.
There's a good user group and a couple of very helpful websites. The author, Mike Engelhardt, is very helpful too: bug reports usually get fixed within a couple of days. Amazing for a free tool!
Don't be put off by it being free or supplied by a vendor (so maybe it's tweaked to make their parts look good). That's not the case. LT use it to design their own devices and have made some major changes and fixed lots of the original spice bugs. I won't go on about it except to say it is an industrial strength simulator.
MATLAB and similar FOSS tools such as Scilab, Scicoslab, Octave and Sagemath are great for generic simulation but for specific electronics you have to try hard to get better results than spice or Gnucap. Accepting of course that any simulation can only be as good as the models! That said, you can simulate most things in spice as long as you can get your head round how to represent it as an analogue or mixed signal system. There have been a few articles in EDN etc., about using LTspice to model an analogue computer because it's removes most of the inaccuracies of a real analogue computer.
I use LTspice to simulate linearised models - based on the work of Dr Vatche Vorperian and extended by Christophe Basso - of switch mode PSUs, class D amplifiers and the like which gives me results that are every bit as accurate as switching simulations but well over 100 times faster.

It's a bit late in the day but I think I know the answer to the original question. The bypass capacitor across the Source resistor is there to produce a standing bias - as you will find in many circuits starting with valves. The purpose of the bypass C is to prevent the development of a signal voltage at the Source . Omit the capacitor and you have a negative-feedback circuit which will reduce the stage gain and modify both the input and output impedances of the stage while at the same time reducing distortion produced by the non-linearities of the transistor.
As a side issue by tailoring the value of the bypass capacitor you can make a fequency weighted stage (i.e. a Bass-lift stage) but beware the changing impedances and phase-shifts that go along with it.
Yes, you can use the circuit w/o the capacitor as a phase-splitter but there will be a loss of balance between the two signals and thatg will depend on the characteristics of the two following amplifiers.

Britney & RuPaul, Together At Last! "Work Bitch" Remix
Jonathan Higbee | September 16, 2013
RuPaul's involvement was rumored in the weeks leading up to the release of Britney's latest single, "Work Bitch." Though the inspiration was apparent in the official single that leaked over the weekend, Ru's literal appearance in the track is today a reality.
Should "Work Bitch" feat. RuPaul shante and stay or sashay away, Instincters?
Mickey Breen - September 16, 2013
More Ru from now and not just remixed in. Ru is always awesome!!
popfan - September 16, 2013
Love Ru in it!
David Greer - September 16, 2013
This is great, but wish there was a little more Rupaul, in it. Not just a remixed from 1991 song thrown in.

Where to Go
Accommodation Ko Samet
While all 14 of Koh Samet's beaches feature accommodation, the majority of the island's hotels, resorts, and bungalows are located on the east coast, which features accommodation for a range of budgets from budget to luxury, while the quieter west coast has fewer resorts, all of which are all more upscale and expensive than those on the east. During peak seasons and over Thai holiday weekends booking in advance is essential and rates are much higher than during the remainder of the year. The northern-most beaches of the east coast, Haad Sai Keaw and Ao Hin Kok, have the most basic, budget bungalows, though there are a few nicer resorts on the far northern end of the east coast. If you have arrived on the island without making a pre-arranged booking, touts at the pier in Nadan will descend upon you to pitch their resorts. Always ask to see the room before agreeing to take it. Many budget rooms will have minimal bedding, and towels and toiletries may not be provided.

He moves out of here, in with his parents and then has sleepovers with HER when he feels like it.
His parents are fully aware of what's going on but are reluctant to get involved.
I have 2 kids away at college and even when they come home for a visit he takes off to be with her. Neither son has met her yet and I am thankful for that but I know it will happen someday. I am not looking forward to that day. Lucky for me it is mainly her that is holding back. She says she isn't ready yet.
My older girls say they'll never meet her; don't want to. Have also told their dad if he forces HER on them, all Hell will break loose.
If I were him, I'd believe them.
It is difficult for kids no matter what age.
Our 17th wedding anniversary is April 21. I know how hard it is to have those special dates looming out there waiting to bite you in the ass.
[This message edited by Ivette at 10:03 AM, July 24th (Tuesday)]
I have 3 kids and that just happens to be my weekend with them. My 5yo son is playing T-ball and he has a game that day. As such, I'll see my E(stranged)WH that morning. Not sure how to handle that one yet.
It will bother me more than I probably realize rigt now, since he goes with HER to get her kids (2 hours away) on the Friday nights he doesn't have his kids-which will be the night before our anni.
Actually, I think going to visit your cousin is a GOOD idea. It gets you out of town and you'll be spending the day with people you know love and care about you.
Second, (saying this VERY sarcastically) It's always OUR fault. No matter what, it's our fault. The sooner we BS's realize this, the better off we'll be.
Yes, they do believe the crap that comes out of their mouths. If they didn't, then they'd have to actually see what their actions and decisions have done to those around them. And it's not a pretty sight.
My EWH actually told me shortly after D-day that he had a hard time looking at me because he could see the pain in my eyes and to know that he was the cause of all that pain was too much for him to bear.
He also said shortly after that, that he just couldn't stay in this house anymore because he knew that he would never be able to "live it down"-meaning that he was afraid I would never forget that he cheated and therefore never let him forget that he cheated.
Thanks about the 21st. I'll need it to get through the morning.

Staff Reports
THETFORD–Going into the Vermont State Cross Country Championships, the Falcons, much like every other school in attendance, were looking to have a good a showing.
Knowing that they had the potential to do some really good things, a confident North Country squad took to the trail and came away with some fantastic results.
For the Falcon boys, Sam Brunnette stayed true to form, finishing 6th in the state (4th in Division I) with a time of 17:09.4.
NEWPORT–What has been a trying and difficult football season for the North Country Falcons came to a close on Friday night as the team fell 26-8 to the Spaulding Crimson Tide.
"This was one of those games that no matter how much preparation we did we just couldn't pull it off," said NCU coach Tim Simoneau. "We worked hard, but things didn't go our way."
Before the game got underway, the team honored their six outgoing seniors; Anthony Eldridge, Tyler Jenne, Wyatt Prue, Tyler Sanville, Troy Dane and Jason Gonyaw.
ORLEANS-In a very evenly played match, the Rivendell Raptors had a little more at the end than the home standing Lake Region Rangers as they held on for a 2-1 victory. The Raptors erased a 1-0 LRU lead by scoring twice in the last 13 minutes of regulation to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.
With a large, several-hundred strong boisterous crowd on hand to witness the quarter-final between the number 4 seed, Lake Region and the number five seed Raptors it was obvious on this chilly 42 degree day that it would be tight one.
For the full story, see the Express on Monday 10-28-13.
NEWPORT CITY- The art of making pottery takes years of practice as Diana Poulin is well aware. Poulin started working with pottery as a hobby and spent five years at the Vermont Clay Studio, and then on to other pottery schools to hone her craft.
"I took lessons for ten years before I started to teach it," recalls Poulin. "I always had a desire to do it. You see someone make a pot and it's something you want to do for yourself.

French lass Sophie Fontanel wrote a book titled L'Envie. Oddly, the American translators decided to title it The Art of Sleeping Alone. I suppose the title of Envy might confuse American readers? At the bottom of the Atlantic article is a link to another of their pieces, this one on Britain's most beautiful woman named Florence Colgate. This Colgate is not heir to the famously white toothepaste fortune. But rather, she works in fast-food:
Last year, a modeling contest claimed to have found the most beautiful woman in Britain: Florence Colgate, an 18-year-old who worked at a chip shop in Kent. As the Daily Mail later pointed out, Colgate's face is nearly exactly symmetrical, with measurements matching ratios scientists have identified in the faces of exceptionally beautiful people: the distance between the pupils just less than half the distance between the ears, the distance from eyes to mouth just more than one-third the distance from hairline to chin.
Notice that they do not include a picture of young Ms. Colgate. I put her name into Google and got the above photo from a mixed-martial arts forum. It looks suspiciously like a Hilary Swank photoshop, no?

|More Info
From BOOGIE NIGHTS to THERE WILL BE BLOOD, the theatrical release of any new P.T. Anderson movie basically marks a new chapter in cinema. Hollywood's flimsy veil of bleached smiles and superhero spandex is thrown aside to illuminate uniquely told stories of flawed humans destined for triumph and/or agony. And no project of his has been as wildly anticipated as THE MASTER.
PhilIp Seymour Hoffman is Lancaster Dodd, a self-made, self-absorbed and self-doubting paragon of intellect; a magnanimous socialite who's prone to thunderous episodes. His writings are devoted to exploring mankind's untapped potential, to the point that he seems intent on elevating himself and everyone around him to a superhuman level.
Into his expanding circle stumbles Freddie Sutton (Joaquin Phoenix), a living storm of total self-destruction. The two men appear opposite in every way, but their meeting ignites a persevering mutual fascination that threatens their perceptions, their outside relationships, and even their personal well-being.
Hoffman and Phoenix give the all-time best performances of their already-incredible careers, with equally strong work from Amy Adams as Dodd's brilliant wife/business partner. Anderson's script and direction, completed with stunning 65mm photography, create the type of viewing experience that feels even more authentic and compelling than actual life. THE MASTER is one of the rarest accomplishments possible: a perfect movie.
"Paul Thomas Anderson's imposing, confounding and altogether amazing new film…is wild and enormous. There will be skeptics, but the cult is already forming. Count me in." –A.O. Scott, The New York Times
"One of the great movies of the year — an ambitious, challenging, and creatively hot-blooded but cool toned project that picks seriously at knotty ideas about American personality, success, rootlessness, master-disciple dynamics." –Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly
"A superbly crafted film…bristling with vivid moments and unbeatable acting." –Kenneth Turan, The Los Angeles Times

Daniel Orton has journeyed back and forth between the NBA and the D-League a bunch this season.
The Turner Turnpike has become the road most traveled.
Daniel Orton has journeyed back and forth between the NBA and the D-League a bunch this season.
The Turner Turnpike has become the road most traveled.
Every time the center goes from the Thunder to the 66ers, he takes the toll road between Oklahoma City and Tulsa. He sees the same exit signs, the same gas stations, the same toll booths.
No, he doesn't get to bypass the $4 toll.
And the Thunder issues no special Pike Pass.
"Not at all," Orton said.
During a season when the Thunder has made more assignments to the D-League than any other team in the NBA, Orton is part of a group of players who have become accustomed to making the trip from Oklahoma City to Tulsa, from the NBA to the D-League. They straddle the two worlds, the glitz of the NBA and the grind of the D-League.
Thunder fans are familiar with that NBA glam.
But what about the D-League?
For Thunder players, most assignments occur when both the Thunder and 66ers are at home. In that case, players can either drive themselves to Tulsa or use a car service.
That decision often depends on how long they'll be staying with the 66ers.
With a short stint of a couple days, players often employ a car service to drive them since they don't have time to do much else other than practice and play. And they don't need a car to get to the arena.
"The hotel that we stay at is literally right next to the arena," said forward Perry Jones, who's played 11 games with the 66ers. "Practice and everything, you just walk across the street."
But with longer stints, having a car is the way to go.
Orton, who's played 19 games with the 66ers, likes to be able to get around town. Go to the mall. Find something to eat. Just get out of the hotel.
The hotel where the players stay is nice enough — albeit a serious step down from the fancy places where the Thunder stays on the road — but the walls can still start to close in around you.
"I pretty much go to Applebee's the whole time and watch TV there just to be around people," Orton said.
Meals are a bit trickier when players are with the 66ers. For Thunder players, food is often provided at the team's practice facility. Before a morning practice, the players can eat breakfast, and once practice is over, they are provided lunch.
When players go to Tulsa, they have to take care of themselves.
"You've got to be disciplined," guard Jeremy Lamb said. "Right by the hotel is Chick-fil-A, Popeye's, all that type of stuff. It's easy to go right there."

Edward N. Gilson, 68, passed away, Dec.22, 2011 in Colville. He was born in Chewelah on Dec. 13, 1943, the son of Maynard and Lillian (Staff) Gilson.
Edward was raised and attended school in Chewelah. He graduated from Jenkins High School in 1962 and in January of 1963 decided to serve his country by joining the United States Navy.
In 1964 Edward married Karen Wilson and they established their home in the Colville area. Then, in 1965, they were blessed with their daughter, Suzette. For awhile Edward worked at Plum Creek Lumber, where he was known as "Fast Eddie" because he always put his all into whatever he was working at. He was also known as "MacGyver" at New Tec in Kettle Falls, where he worked until he retired.
Edward enjoyed being around home, tinkering with his cars and spending time with his family. He loved fishing, dancing and just being wherever the party was. He will be greatly missed by his family and friends.
Edward is survived by his wife, Karen; daughter, Suzette and her husband, Russ, Colville; three grandchildren, Jacob, Christopher and wife, Kimberly, and Desire; and two great- grandchildren, Gunner and Qwen.
He was preceded in death by his parents and by a brother, Richard.
The family has requested that there be no service at this time.
Memorial contributions may be given to the American Cancer Society.

Tsunami gives Oregon Coast 'a little notoriety'
FLORENCE, Ore. -- The taffy is stocked, the chowder is piping hot - and after Friday's tsunami warning, some Florence tourists said souvenirs have a whole new meaning.
"Take a look at this," said Patricia VanAcker, a first time visitor to Florence. She grabs a navy blue t-shirt from the bag and reads the words across the shirt. "Florence Oregon. Tsunami Evacuation Instructions. Run like Hell."
It's a souvenir VanAcker said she will take home - along with a story she won't forget.
"I heard a blow horn and it said 'evacuation mandatory' and I'm, 'What's going on?' " said VanAcker.
VanAcker was one of thousands evacuated from hotels and residences early Friday morning as a tsunami warning sent the town scrambling for higher ground.
Police cut off traffic to Old Town Friday. Most businesses closed their doors until officials lifted the tsunami warning.
But on Saturday morning, Old Town opened for business.
Shop owners said that in a town where tourist dollars rule, they need visitors to think Florence is a safe place to stop.
"I think probably the tsunami kind of scared people away a little so we're trying to get the word out that we're open and that nothing happened," said d Mo's restaurant hostess Roxy Shope.
The city of Florence relies heavily on tourism for their economic viability.
While some say the tsunami may have spooked a couple of tourists away, others say the attention gives Florence a little notoriety.
"First, a lot of people will say Florence, where is Florence?" said resident Steve Brooks. "I think that after the initial fear of the tsunami, I think that people will come out here to see what the excitement was all about."

This recognition provides for the transferability of credits by assuring standards of quality. Post University has been accredited by NEASC since 1972.
Do I need to take any courses with Post before my transcripts are evaluated for transfer?
No, there is no requirement to take any courses with Post University before we evaluate your transcripts (civilian or military) for transfer. All you need to do is to simply complete the inquiry form and a Military Enrollment Advisor will contact you to go through the evaluation process with you. Once your evaluation is complete, it is up to you as to whether or not to enroll as a student with Post University. However, this will be an un-official evaluation and you cannot receive an official evaluation until you have applied and been matriculated as a student with Post University.
When am I considered a matriculated student?
You will be considered a matriculated student with Post University when you have applied, have been accepted, your official transcripts have been received by the ADP Admissions Office, and you have registered for your first course.Â
How long will it take for me to receive my initial transfer evaluation?
Normally, evaluations are completed within 7 days after receipt of your transcripts. The initial evaluation is subject to change based on receipt of your Official Transcripts from other schools that you have attended. You will receive your initial evaluation via email from your Military Enrollment Advisor. They will contact you and review with you your evaluation.  Should you have any questions,that is the time to discuss them. If you feel that you should have received credit for something, bring it to your Enrollment Advisor's attention and they will advocate on your behalf to Academic Affairs.
Will Tuition Assistance pay for my course(s)?
Yes and No. The Department of Defense (DoD) Tuition Assistance Program is a federally managed program. Tuition assistance will pay the tuition cost for each course up to a federal cap of $750 per course and $4,500 per federal fiscal year (October - September). For all undergraduate and certificate programs at Post University, the tuition rate is $750.00 per course and is completely covered by your Tuition Assistance. For graduate level courses, the tuition rate is $399 per credit hour. Since TA will only cover $750 of the total tuition, you will need to use the GI Bill Top-Up Program to pay the difference. Each Branch of the service has its own method of requesting Tuition Assistance. For detailed information on how to request tuition assistance from your branch of the service click on your branch:
Can I use my Montgomery GI Bill to pay for my education?
Yes! Post University is fully certified by the Veteran's Administration for the use of VA Educational Benefits to pay for tuition and other fees. Processing your GI Bill Benefits is now handled completely online by clicking here to apply:Â
http://vabenefits.vba.va.gov/vonapp/main.asp. We also have a VA Once liaison who will assist you whether you are starting your benefit for the first time or you will be transferring your benefit from another college.
Will I have to buy books?
No! At Post University, your books are free! You will need to order your books for each class that you take, but they will be paid with a student book voucher that gets loaded once you register for your course(s).
How do I get an Official Transcript for promotion purposes?
Once you have taken six (6) credits with the university, you will be able to complete a request for an In Progress Transcript. This transcript has been designed to meet the requirements listed for promotion consideration and there is no fee for this transcript. Contact your Academic Advisor to request an In Progress Transcript.
How long will it take me to complete my degree with Post University?
It depends on how many credits you were able to transfer in to your selected degree program, and the number of courses that you take each eight-week online module. For example, military students who transfer in 60 total credits between military training and experience and other college credits would be able to complete their bachelor's degree in 3 years even if they took only one course every eight weeks!
Is there an application fee?
No! There is no application fee for members of the military and their dependents, and veterans. Also, there are no other fees.
Can I attend graduation?
Yes! We hold Commencement every May on our Main Campus in Waterbury, Connecticut. We encourage you to join other students, and our faculty and staff in celebrating this momentous occasion!
Can my dependents take advantage of this program, too?
Yes! Post University's Military Program is offered to active duty military personnel and their dependents. That means your spouse and children also can earn their college degrees through Post University.Â
What if I am Deployed?
Since Post University offers an online option for students, you do not have to put your studies on hold in the event of a deployment. As long as you have access to the Internet and sufficient time to complete your work, you can continue to take courses regardless of where in the world you find yourself. In fact, we have quite a few students who continue to take courses while serving overseas. However, if you need to take a break from your studies, we have a very flexible Military Leave of Absence policy. Students on a Military Leave of Absence will be able to resume their education without the need of re-applying to Post University by contacting the Registrar's Office as long as they resume their studies within six (6) months after the end of the deployment. To learn more about our Leave of Absence policy, click here.

Kevrin natural fibers offer the resistance and strength of an extra fine bristle combined with the precision and elasticity of soft hair. This is a fine, oily hair that is as responsive and soft as sable, but with enhanced durability.
Kevrin brushes are excellent for detailed brush work and soft glazing in oil or acrylics. They are extremely versatile and are well suited to many techniques and media. Many professional watercolorists have adopted them as a substitute for sable. The hairs resist staining, making them easy to clean and maintain.

Varied plant-based diets appear to be beneficial to cognitive health and may even reduce depression and anxiety (see here, here, and here). While there are mental health benefits from the fatty acids in fish, there are also negative effects from arachidonic acid. An increasing rate of mental illness may be linked to genetic manipulation of animals destined for human consumption, resulting in a reduction of DHA in chicken. Plant-based DHA may offer the benefits without the contamination risks. The mercury in fish (such as tuna, especially certain brands) may damage the brain of infants, children, and adults (more than that in vaccinations). Natural toxins in fish can also pose a threat (even when seafood is properly cooked). There's one toxin that even causes a form of amnesia
Green tea and sleeping sufficiently seem to minimize the risk of stroke. Green tea may also ease pain and nausea and beneficially alter brain wave activity. However, a single egg a day may contribute to a higher incidence of strokes. The good news is that a whole food plant-based diet can help prevent atherosclerosis. Even moderate alcohol consumption increases the risk for bleeding strokes (though it decreases the risk of the clotting strokes). Coffee may modestly decrease brain cancer risk, along with certain vegetables. Coffee may also decrease the risk of Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. Cell phone use has been linked to brain tumors, but not as much as hot dog consumption.
Regular exercise may reverse cognitive decline. Caloric restriction also may improve memory. And while berries can help to prevent cognitive decline, adding milk inhibits the absorption of the phytonutrients. Those with a family history of neurodegenerative diseases should consider limiting their consumption of milk altogether. Hormones in milk have been linked to these degenerative diseases such as Parkinson's Disease. Soy products have been shown to improve cognition in short-term trials, but not tofu preserved with formaldehyde. Vitamin D and B12 may also protect against cognitive decline, but homeopathy does not appear to be useful.
Drugs and toxic metals in meats can contribute to neurotoxicity. AGEs (glycotoxins) in animal-based foods may contribute to dementia. Copper has been found in meat (and supplements) and may contribute to Alzheimer's Disease. Aluminum, added to cheese, has been linked to Alzheimer's. Even iron has been linked to these neurodegenerative diseases. A banned pesticide, Dieldrin, can still be found in contaminated dairy products. Aspartame consumption has been linked to at least one brain disease.
Artificial colors have been shown to contribute to ADHD symptoms. Arsenic found in chicken has been linked to neurocognitive deficits in children. Licorice has been shown to be harmful, especially during pregnancy. Creatine supplements have been found to be contaminated with heavy metals and are not recommended.
Plant-based foods may provide protection against inflammation and dementia in part due to a low level of aspirin naturally found throughout the plant kingdom. But blue green algae (see here and here) may be linked to Alzheimer's, Parkinsons, and Lou Gehrig's disease. Spirulina may also contain harmful neurotoxins.
Toxoplasma is a brain parasite that can be transmitted through the consumption of undercooked lamb chops. Epilepsy can be caused by pork tapeworms taking up residence inside our brain. Also, essential tremor, a common neurological condition, has been linked to meat consumption.

Tips for Selling Diamonds
Despite the fact that selling diamonds might look like an appealing way to get money, just like any other business, you need to become a professional in the field in order to be lucrative. According to the diamond buyer review experts, BestReviewsHub.com, this stone does not have a melt value that can be quantified and the cost of resale do not have one purpose which makes it easy for inexpert sellers to become quite overwhelmed and confused. To help navigate through the process of selling diamond, these are some useful tips that you need to take into consideration.
Know what you have
For you to sell an engagement ring, you need to understand what you have. Before rushing to the market, you need to get the right information in regard to the real authenticity and quality of the stone in question. You can get an honest opinion in regard to the condition of the stone by consulting an appraiser and preferably one who does not sell or buy diamonds. They are going to tell you the positive and negative attributes of your stone which will affect the overall value. It is recommended that you go to at least three shops in order to get the true sense of the value.
Price realistically
When you are unrealistic on how much you expect to get from your diamond, you are setting yourself to some disappointments. When getting your jewelry appraised, inquire about the potential worth of the stone given the current circumstances and market. A professional appraiser needs to be updated in regard to market trends and they can help you determine the potential value of the stone when it is sold. You can also make some assessments on your own. Go to eBay and look for jewelries that seem to have the same characteristics as yours.
Investigate your sales options
When selling your diamond, you have a few options. You can sell it to the jewelry industry or to the public. Selling this stone is not all about getting the best price. It is might be more about the speed of the sale or how much you trust the buyer. If you decide to sell to people in the industry, the benefit you are going to have is time. By selling to a pawnbroker or a diamond dealer, you are going to sell is safely and also faster. In order to verify their trustworthiness, check their rating at Better Business Bureau. The only downside is that you are not going to get the best price.
An alternative is to sell it online. There are a lot of online sites where you can place your ad on the stone. Make sure that the site is safe and the diamond buyers that you get are genuine. The last thing you want is to arrange to meet someone offline and then they end up being not who they claimed to be and steal the stone from you. If you are to deliver the stone, ensure that you do so in a public place and if possible, bring a friend along just for security.

Old Rag Mountain Climber's Log
[ Sign the Climber's Log ]
|Buz Groshong
|My first mountain
|I first got hooked on hiking and mountains by doing Old Rag (in 1980). I've done it at least a couple dozen times since and it is still one of my favorites.
|Posted Feb 12, 2007 1:49 am
|Best Hike I ve Found in VA
Date Climbed: Dec 28, 2006
|First time at Old Rag hiked the loop and really enjoyed it. Did it a second time on 1/2/07 this time went back through the bouldering portion instead of doing the loop. That rock scramble is just to fun. Next time will do the White Oaks Canyon hike to the top.

Date Climbed: Dec 27, 2006
|Great hike....spent the trip up and down yakkin' all over the trail. FYI: Don't drink the water at Cedar Campground!!

|Date Climbed: March 4, 2006
Date Climbed: Mar 4, 2006
|a cold and windy day, but very clear and well worth the effort. In fact, this summit alone made our 6-day trip worth it. Though it was cold, we stayed on top for a long lunch break to watch some Aussie-style rappellers and to do some bouldering of our own.
|Posted Dec 26, 2006 6:58 am
|Great memories
|Climbed Old Rag a few times as a Scout growing up. I remember it as a tough, yet fun, dayhike. I loved the rock scrambling portions...

|Southern Scramble
Date Climbed: Nov 29, 2006
|Got in the car, headed down to VA in the middle of the night, and made it as day broke. Had a great time going through the boulders to the top. It was a cloudy day, but I still got some pretty darn good views. Was the only one on the summit. Go early, or late in the season, or on a weekday, or combine all three into one like I did, and you won't be bothered at all. This really is a classic climb for the east coast, plus it's in a National Park. If it was a movie they would give it two thumbs up.
|Posted Dec 3, 2006 3:13 pm
|Interesting scramble
Date Climbed: May 20, 2006
|Hiked up Old Rag while visiting Nick in DC. It was an interesting class 2 scramble up to the crowded summit. We had excellent weather and nice views.
|Posted Aug 17, 2006 4:29 pm
|Excellent Overnight Loop!
Date Climbed: Mar 26, 2002
|While it can easily be done as a day trip, my brother and I camped overnight after reaching the top. One of my most favoritest trips. :-)
|Posted Jul 26, 2006 11:26 pm
|We Made It ...Where's the View?
Date Climbed: Jul 14, 2006
|Clouds, clouds everywhere...My wife and daughter made it to the Top!!! After fighting the humidity all the way we were treated to no views...all we took away was a great feeling of accomplishment and togetherness...It was great to have Cat along as well...I now know why some folks insist that this is really tough and would not recommend for small children...my 16 year old son had to help Mom and Sis both up and down some of the more difficult sections...previous poster summed it all up perfectly, oh "so scrambly"
|Posted Jul 24, 2006 1:50 pm
|Fun, Weather Permitting
|Used to do this one almost yearly with my scout troop. We once climbed it during a fall rainstorm. It was so miserable that we didn't even stop at the summit, preferring to hightail it to the shelter halfway down. On the way up we passed another troop that was "training" for a backpacking trip by hauling full bags over the summit. Those kids were not happy.

|Old Rag is my favorite climbing destination in the entire state of Virginia. Although crowds will always occupy the summit, you will never wait in line for a route here. Sky-line Crag is my favorite. Gods area is fun too. (To this day, I have yet to find SunsetCrag!)

If you can not wait any longer for the Android 2.1 OS to come to the Samsung Moment you just might not have to wait any longer. Thanks to a couple of members of SDX-Developers the highly anticipated Android update can finally be added to your Samsung mobile phone. There are currently two different builds on the forum and both seem to work quite well. It is being reported that both builds work with voice and data.
