Has this happened to you? Just when you think all is well in your garden, you notice tiny, pear shaped insects clustering on the leaves, sucking out the juices and leaving damage behind. Before you grab a bottle of synthetic pesticide, consider that natural pest control is not old-fashioned, and are very effective. Furthermore, natural pesticides mean there are no health concerns for your family, pets, or water supply. Check out these common pests that could disrupt your garden, and the natural pest control options to keep them at bay.
About this bug: These pear-shaped insects may appear harmless at first glance, but these little guys defy the laws of science and are born pregnant; which can lead to a quick infestation.
Organic pest control solutions: Try spraying them off with forceful water or using a plant based soap (recipe below). You can also let nature take its course by attracting beneficial insects like ladybugs, lacewings and hoverflies to your garden. Plants like parsley, fennel, coriander, sunflowers and Queen Anne Lace will attract these beneficial insects, and could help keep aphids and other harmful critters out of your garden.
About this bug: There are many varieties of beetles, and many will hide under the leaves and flowers of your plants, chewing away the foliage and leaving your plants looking tattered.
Organic pest control solutions: If you're not terribly squeamish, pick them (or dust buster them) off the plants, and destroy their eggs that may be hiding just beneath the surface of your plant. While beetles love feasting on starchy plants like potatoes, they tend to loathe horseradish, yarrow, catnip and garlic plants. Keeping these plants nearby along with beneficial insects may prevent beetles from trespassing in your garden.
About this bug: Caterpillars may look charming, but as they increase in size, their mouths grow even larger; leaving gaping holes in their feasting paths.
Organic pest control solutions: Once they become butterflies, they will deter harmful pests in your garden. But if their caterpillar stage is wreaking havoc on your garden, a natural pest control option is plucking them off the plants and make your own organic pesticides (see recipe below) to deter them from inching along your favorite vegetables.
About this bug: Feeding on plant sap, leafhoppers are another villainous garden pest. Leafhoppers belong to the Cicadellidae family, and there are numerous species that could damage your garden. Just as their name implies, these insects hop from plant to plant when disturbed. Ranging in size from approximately ¼ – ½ inch, wedge-shaped leafhoppers feed on plants using their sucking mouthparts, similar to their sidekick; the aphid. Some species of leafhoppers can transmit a virus particularly harmful to beets, tomatoes and other crops causing crinkled, dwarfed or distorted roots and veins.
Organic pest control solutions: If you suspect a small leafhopper problem, forceful water makes for natural pest control. For more severe infestations, consider incorporating beneficial insects ladybugs, lacewings, hoverflies and praying mantids in the garden (see Aphids for plants that attract these insects).
Mealybugs and White Flies
About this bug: Common in indoor plants, these critters can weaken your plants while mealybugs leave a sticky substance behind. Normally infestations occur from a new infested plant exposing the others to the insect.
Organic pest control solutions: To keep these pests at bay, try creating more air circulation in the area the plants reside in. For severe infestations, spray the leaves with diluted alcohol which acts like organic pesticides (remember to administer a test a patch first). Neem oil, plant based soaps and even natural dish detergent has also been studied to rid your plants of these non beneficial insects.
Slugs and Snails
About this bug: Similar to caterpillars, these plump pests leave holes in your plants, while leaving behind their trademark sticky trail.
Natural solutions: Luckily, slugs and snails go wild for a cold brew, and some prefer leaving a container of beer at the base of the plant for the slugs to eventually drown in. If the thought of watching a slug drown in your favorite stout seems hard to swallow (pardon the pun), try attracting lizards and garden snakes to your garden by leaving sunning stones and water nearby. Your garden will feel like an oasis to these slug-loving reptiles.
*Make your own organic pesticides*
Caffeine Spray: Combine a few tablespoons of used coffee grounds with herbs like: catnip, lavender, yarrow and thyme which acts like organic pesticides. Add 2 cups of water, and allow at least 24 hours for the mixture to steep. Strain, and spray liberally on insects and plant leaves. Combine with organic pesticides soap (below) for a stronger treatment.
Organic pesticides: Add 1-2 tablespoons of castile soap to 2 cups of water. Spray insects as needed. Add boiled garlic cloves to boost the effectiveness.
Beneficial nematodes: Beneficial nematodes are effective microscopic fighters of soil borne pests like gnats, fleas, rootworms, grubs and cutworms. Beneficial nematodes can be applied in mulch with a garden sprayer or watering can. Another benefit? Beneficial nematodes will also reproduce and spread for long lasting organic pest control. Have you tried beneficial nematodes in your garden?
Friends, how have you naturally treated bothersome pests in your garden?

CUMBERLAND — A 14-year-old boy made a 911 call Monday afternoon after discovering his mother's body lying in a pool of blood in his 29 Titus St. home and later learned police would charge his father in her death.
Peter J. Pytka, 40, was arraigned in District Court, Providence, on a Cumberland Police charge he allegedly murdered his wife, Tracey Pytka, 38, after an apparent domestic incident at the Titus Street residence.
Police Chief John Desmarais said Tuesday Pytka was arrested by Pawtucket Police at about 10 p.m. Monday near Parent's Marina where he is believed to have fled in his wife's car.
Pytka may have been preparing to kill himself at the location and was reported to have struggled with Pawtucket Police officers while being taken into custody. Desmarais said no one was reported hurt in the arrest.
Police received the 911 call from the Pytka's 14-year-old son after he found his mother dead in her bedroom, Desmarais said.
Local rescue units responded to the location with police and confirmed the victim had died of her apparent injuries, Desmarais said.
Cumberland police detectives began an investigation of the crime and determined with the assistance of the medical examiner's office the victim had suffered stab wounds.
Several knives were taken from the home and will be reviewed by the medical examiner to determine whether they caused the victim's injuries, Desmarais said. Police were reported to have received a report of a man and woman fighting in the street in the Titus Street area earlier Monday, but did not locate anyone outside when responding to the neighborhood.
After identifying Peter Pytka as a suspect in his wife's killing, Cumberland police put out an all-points-bulletin seeking his arrest, Desmarais said.
The suspect may have been preparing to enter the waters of the Pawtucket River in a suicide attempt when he was located by Pawtucket police, according to reports.
Pytka was ordered held without bail at his appearance in District Court on Tuesday and remanded to the ACI. He will return to court for a bail hearing on Jan. 4, Desmarais said.
Tracey Pytka was the first victim of murder in the town in 2010 but Cumberland police have handled other domestic murder cases, the most recent being the March 2009, killing of Rita Paiva at her Baldwin Street home. Paiva's son, Richard Pavia, 36, was charged with stabbing her to death and sentenced to life in prison for the crime in September. Police had repeatedly visited the Paiva residence for domestic problems between the two.
Desmarais said while Cumberland Police had no record of contact with the Pytkas for domestic incidents, family members have indicated there may have been incidents of domestic abuse against the victim that had gone unreported.
Tracey Pytka had two younger children in addition to her son and Desmarais viewed her killing as a sad incident for her family and the town.
"It is sad any time you have a domestic homicide like this," Desmarais said. "It really affects both sides of the family. Our hearts go out to the family of Tracey Pytka and her children."
The children are being cared for by relatives, and will be provided with any needed assistance in coping with the crime, Desmarais said. "It is a tragic, tragic situation that has happened."
Desmarais said police are seeing a rise in domestic calls in the town and attributes some of that increase to problems related to the difficult ecomony and family stresses that result from economic difficulties. The Police Department does work with a domestic violence advocate, Desmarais noted. "Anyone who knows of a woman who is a victim of domestic violence can contact us and we will put them in contact with the advocate," he said.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced Feb. 9 that the final decision on whether to remove the bald eagle from the federal list of threatened and endangered species will be postponed. The service has reached a court-approved agreement allowing the agency to make a final determination on the eagle's status no later than June 29.
The additional four months will give the service time to complete additional analysis related to the final rule and put in place management guidelines and procedures that will make it easier for the public to understand ongoing Bald and Golden Eagle Act protections, ensuring that eagles continue to thrive once delisted.
The service had been under a court ordered deadline of Feb. 16 to make a final decision on the eagle's status. In January, the service approached the plaintiff in that case to request an extension of the deadline. With the agreement of the plaintiff, the service requested and the court approved the extension until June 29.
During the extension, the service expects to develop a proposed rule that would authorize incidental take of bald eagles under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act. The service also intends to finalize voluntary bald eagle management guidelines and a regulatory definition of "disturb" under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act.
More information on the bald eagle can be found on the web at: http://www.fws.gov/migratorybirds/baldeagle.html

I really like leaf litter. It's in all my CRS tanks and I believe the microorganisms "aufwechs" (I think) that reside afte a couple of weeks are a wonderful source of nutrition for all inverts and cat fry. There has to be something good on there they like otherwise why would they constantly be grouped on it picking the crap out of it.
It sounds like you are using oak leaves.
Do you know which type?
I have a few pin oaks in my yard but since my lawn is maintained (weed control/fertilization) with chemicals I'm just not willing to take the chance of introducing anything harmful to the tanks by using my oak leaves. From what I have read oak leaves are pretty good but they don't hold up as well as IAL and also release less/less pontent tannins too.
bsmith wrote:Yep and my 84 degree L183 tank they rot pretty quickly. The IAL have a very sturdy spine that does not degrade that aids in removal of the spent litter.

I need to reorder some of those as I am moving heavily into keeping wild bettas. Do you have a US supplier for them as I can only find them is SE Asia? I'm also looking for a US supplier of Shirakura micro organism powder and mineral rock for CRS. If you could turn me on to a US supplier of any or all of those, I'd greatly appreciate it. Rather than distill this thread, please PM me if you can help. Thanks. Cheers. - Frank

Italian Minestrone Soup in the Slow Cooker
21 comments:

Just embarking on my slow cooker career! The recipes look fabulous!
My husband has to watch his cholesterol. Will most of the recipes be OK - low in saturated fats?
- November 8, 2011 at 12:04 PM
- mikononyte said...
Mmmm that is such a good idea! And thanks for the rec for gluten free pasta.
I just did a crock of turkey soup last weekend so am loving that right now, but I am definately making the minestrone. I used to love that as a child. :)

- Lydia (The Perfect Pantry) said...
Just a note that if you use homemade stock (beef or chicken), you'll definitely need to add salt and pepper to the soup. I always add at the end.
- November 8, 2011 at 1:25 PM
- Stephanie O'Dea said...
ah, great point Lydia. I actually have "add salt to taste" in my notes and completely neglected to put it in the post. I'll fix it now, thank you!!

I've found that when I make chicken-based soups (chicken noodle for instance) that I can make the broth more rich and flavorful by adding a touch of beef stock to the chicken stock.

Stephanie, I want to try this recipe and have about 10 lbs of 85/15 ground beef in the freezer. Is that too fatty for the crockpot? Or should I dig into my ground turkey stash instead? Love your recipes and your wit :)
- November 9, 2011 at 6:00 AM
- Stephanie O'Dea said...
Josey, no, you can use that meat, just brown it beforehand on the stove and drain. enjoy!!
- November 9, 2011 at 6:47 AM
- Stephanie said...
I make something very similar to this except we either chop up italian sausage or use bulk to make tiny meatballs (just drop them in raw, though it adds fat to the soup) and I throw about 1/2 a head of chopped green cabbage in. I'm not a cabbage lover, but that's actually the best part of this soup!

Just started slow cooking and picked up your book (the yellow/1st one I think). Love that it's gluten free and particularly love the "verdict" section. I'm wondering if shape matters, I purchased a Breville slow cooker and it's rectangular/sauce and ingredients spread out more. Just curious.
- November 13, 2011 at 4:18 AM
- Stephanie O'Dea said...
Hi Lauren,
I haven't used that particular pot, but I don't think the shape should matter. The timing is for the size of the pot. The newer pots heat from the bottom and sides of the heating element to ensure even cooking.
I'd stick to "easy" dishes until you get a feel of your particular pot, then you'll know if it tends to cook at the top of bottom of the time frame.
- November 13, 2011 at 8:44 AM
I think I will try this today using morningstar ground meat :)

I have been using your recipes from my smart phone up until now when I looked for a print button to click. Could not find it except for the red and white plus box that I clicked and it had a print option on there. I clicked on it to print and it printed out EVERYTHING!!! All the ads, pictures, comments to a total of about 10 pages! Can you tell me is there an easier way to print this recipe? If not, I can always email it to myself then print it out there but it just seems to me there should be a "print" button that will allow you to print the recipe only. Thanks for your help and your great recipes!
- November 16, 2011 at 2:49 PM
- Stephanie O'Dea said...
ugh. I am SO sorry. I've been looking into a print-friendly version for quite a while, but it looks like in the free blogger software I'd need to retype everything and then insert a "print friendly" link, and that just isn't possible time-wise right now.
I'm hoping to figure out a fix soon, but in the meantime your email way is good, or highlighting the desired text and using the "print selection" feature on your print menu.
I'm so sorry for the waste of paper and ink---I hate that.
- November 16, 2011 at 2:52 PM
- Stephanie O'Dea said...
ack! I found it!!!
okay, I will have my webdesigner insert this, but until she does (few days, max) you can copy and paste the url into this print friendly site and it'll do it for you.
long live the internet! there's an answer for everything! :-)

This was really good -- I added a can of drained beans and used onion powder because it turned out I was out of onions when I went to make it. I was surprised that it still had so much flavor!

- gaelowyn said...
Actually, you can add noodles to the soup before freezing and not have them come out all mushy. I do it all the time. I make sure my soup is pretty "brothy". I then cook the noodles in the broth(usually drain broth and cook on stove top. I've not had good luck doing noodles in the crock- despite trying as suggested here on the site!). Stop cooking the noodles BEFORE they are done. you want them "PRE- al dente" if that makes sense. not raw, not barely cooked, but not done all the way to al dente either. undercooked some.
Add broth/noodles back to soup, divy up into serving sizes you want, allow to cool then freeze. I put mine into indi size ziplock containers or into vacu-seal freezer bags. those are great because you can lay them flat in the freezer and is space saving. allow to defrost in fridge overnight, reheat and enjoy!

"Since its inception with the EOS 10D in 2003, Canon's double-digit-D line of APS-C-format DSLRs for advanced shooters has offered some of the best bang for the buck. Its latest, the EOS 70D ($1,199 street, body only), debuts one of the most innovative approaches to imaging-sensor based autofocus we've seen, Dual Pixel CMOS AF."

"Fantastic video, however, is what the 70D does best. This is the first DSLR at this price point with video quality that will appeal to budding videographers and budget minded independent filmmakers."

For the first time providing camcorder-like autofocus capabilities in a DSLR, the 70D delivers on the promise of a do-everything DSLR for consumers.
- Monday, November 4, 2013
"Where the magic of the 70D lies is in video mode. With the new Dual Pixel AF, which essentially splits the pixels on the camera's sensor, using half of each as phase-detection sites, Canon has promised smooth and accurate auto-focus during video recording. It works extremely well."

The bachelors fire arrows, throw logs and test each other's strength. Although one bachelor dominates the competition, another wins over Emily with his persistence in the face of defeat. The after party finds one handsome man taking Emily on an intimate walk and talk in the streets of Dubrovnik, while another brave suitor offers the Bachelorette his heart, on 'The Bachelorette,' MONDAY, JUNE 18 (8:00-10:02 p.m., ET), on the ABC Television Network.

Read: There Has Been Flexibility But Still A Long Way To Go
9:36AM: Katie Strang tweets "Really get the sense now that both sides putting their heads down and working in earnest on sustaining momentum"
9:11AM: Darren Dreger reports this morning that the progress made last night during the players/owners meeting was due to the NHL being more flexible when it comes to contract rights.
Dreger adds, "Owners and players will weave discussions around the NHL's Board mtng. Could go late again. If so, can a deal be more than a few days away? I'm still a tad skeptical even though all involved yest carefully characterize the day as a very good day. Need more good days to close."
Nick Kypreos tweets that flexibility was the word used the most to describe the talks and said that the NHLPA will find out today how flexible the NHL is willing to be.
Larry Brooks adds "Progress, yes, but told "long way to go." How much more do players have to give? How much less will league be willing to take?"
Adam Rotter: We have seen the "hope" talk before of progress being made but for the first time, as Bob McKenzie kept saying, the calendar is forcing the hand of the two sides to bargain and strike a deal. People are more optimistic today, and I have always believed there would be a season, but I don't think we are close to the end zone yet.

Does your dog have a chronic case of 'dog breath'? If so, she's in good company, as it's currently estimated that 80% of companion animals over age three suffer from 'yuck mouth'.

If you have ever tried to leave your house only to have your dog leaping at the opportunity to escape, then you may be wondering how to stop this behavior. You probably know that chasing your pup isn't the best solution ... but what should you do if your companion does sneak out? This common issue is better known as 'door darting' and it can make any pet parent feel discouraged, especially if you've got a repeat offender.

LISBON – In an effort to foster educational opportunities without increasing the schools financial obligations, Lisbon Central School has begun looking into mutually beneficial web-based cooperatives with other schools.
Stressing that the discussion is in its infancy, Superintendent Erin E. Woods said she met with the administration at Madrid-Waddington Central School to work on establishing an online webinar service between the schools. Its not a done deal, she said.
We would use existing teachers; we already have the technology, Marc A. Montroy, member of the Lisbon Board of Education, said.
Lisbon contracts with St. Lawrence-Lewis BOCES to provide a distance learning center at the school to the tune of $43,000 a year.
Its being used mostly for college classes, Mr. Montroy said.
But the Board of Education and the school administration is looking for other ways to utilize the room as well.
We can be using it for webinars, for AP classes, Blake P. Gendebien, president of the Lisbon Board of Education, said.
Its like a virtual merger, Mr. Montroy said. You get some of those opportunities back for smaller schools. We would use existing teachers, we already have the technology.
And Mr. Gendebien said the beauty of a web-based sharing of services is it doesnt matter where the teacher is located.
In order to begin, however, schools would have to match up their schedules to ensure students are able to meet with teachers.
It seems cheaper to me to manipulate schedules than to merge high schools, Mr. Gendebien said, noting that the schedule at Madrid-Waddington is only one minute different than the one at Lisbon.
Its a good fit, Lisbon Principal Eric S. Burke said.
The focus would be on upper-level advanced placement classes.
It probably isnt going to save us money; its going to provide opportunities for kids, Ms. Woods said, adding that she doesnt expect the virtual programs to cost anything extra either.
Were not looking to hire, she said. Were looking for ways for our students to participate in electives they may offer, and their students participate in ours, but all online.
The school will also be losing two full time positions at the school at the end of the 2012-2013 school year.
Three teachers are retiring and the school is only planning on replacing the Biology and Chemistry teacher, Becky Buckingham.
Patty Lashua, a teachers aide, and Georgi Duprey, a health and home economics teacher, are both retiring as well.
I think were going to try to do some restructuring to cover those areas, Mr. Montroy said.

This week's Ask the Experts page features members of the Java Deployment Team answering questions about Java Plug-In Technology. If you're working on getting your code to run in a browser, Sun staffers Dennis Gu, Danielle Pham, and Mike Lei will be taking your questions all week.
The Dalma Workflow Engine offers a means of doing "continuations" - meaning to capture and suspend the state of a thread, continuing it potentially much later and potentially in another JVM entirely. "While functional programming languages typically have a built-in support for continuation, procedural programming languages like Java usually doesn't. Because of this, the use of continuation has been largely limited to computer scientists... While continuation itself will likely to remain as one of the most difficult programming concepts to understand, there are many applications of it that are useful for general developer audience." One such use is illustrated in Kohsuke Kawaguchi's blog Dalma to automate java.net project approval process.
Sun is seeking regression reports in the Mustang Regressions Challenge. Every verified regression submitted before March 31 wins a t-shirt, and the best five (as judged by Sun engineering and QA) win a new Ultra 20 workstation. There's more information in the FAQ, a forum for discussing the challenge, and a blog about its goals in Announcing the Mustang regressions challenge.
Recapping the status of JDK development, Ray Gans' blog entry Where We Are with the JDK also spells out the JDK team's plans going forward. Mustang (Java SE 6) is expected to go beta in February, with another beta in Summer, with a final release this Autumn. Meanwhile, the Dolphin (Java SE 7) project is expected to open this Spring, releasing its snapshots in parallel with Mustang. While the window is closing to Mustang fixes, it's now time to start thinking about features and start discussing them on the Java SE Forum.
The search is underway for the best and most innovative uses of Java technology -- nominations for the 2006 Duke's Choice Awards are now being accepted, with a submission deadline of March 15. The "Dukies" celebrate innovation in Java development, putting small developers on an equal footing with big companies. Winners are recognized at the JavaOne keynote and receive a statuette of "Duke", the Java technology mascot. Last year's winners included java.net's JDDAC project.
The java.net Community Corner 2006 wiki page is the home for planning java.net's presence at JavaOne 2006. We'll be offering a space for communities and projects to get together and learn about each other's activity. The community corner will once again be host to 20-minute mini-talks, and this year we will also distributing papers and abstracts from the mini-talks at the booth. You can use the wiki to propose a mini-talk, volunteer to work at the booth, and (soon) upload pictures for our java.net slideshow.
JXTA Community member Vanessa Williams writes: "while surfing around looking for research papers on JXTA, I came across a paper by Nicolas Theodoloz which contained in an appendix a reverse-engineered set of use cases for the J2SE reference implementation. With his permission, I have duplicated these in Wiki format and added them to the JXTA Wiki." This JXTA J2SE Reference Implementation Use Cases wiki page iterates through the steps required for working with discovery services (including publishing and getting advertisements, providing error notifications and becoming a peer), resolver services, pipe services, rendez-vous services, and more. "Although they are based on version 2.1.1, and are not entirely complete, I have already found them invaluable. It's my hope that the community will help in updating and extending them so that we can all share a good reference to what's really going on inside the code."
Don't have time to offer a podcast version of your blog? Not to worry. The FeedPod project offers "a Text-To-Speech RSS/ATOM Newsfeed reader."

In Bloom: 4 Keys to Great Flower Beds
For more than a century the Adirondack chair has been synonymous with casual but elegant outdoor lounging. I've updated this American classic with a modern slat design that recalls George Nelson's 1940s platform bench but retains the original's low-slung comfort. I also left ample room on the armrests for beverages and snacks.
The most efficient way to build this chair is to mill all the parts first before completing the joinery and then to assemble the piece. This avoids having to switch back and forth between your table saw's ripping blade and the stacked dado set, which you'll use to cut the half-lap joints. Don't have a dado set? Don't worry—you can complete the joinery without one. Use a handsaw, miter saw, or table saw to make the shoulder and relief cuts at the correct depth, then remove the waste with a sharp, flat chisel.
Tools Needed
• Miter saw
• Table saw
with sliding
miter gauge
• Dado set
• Jigsaw
• Clamps
• Palm sander
• Sanding block
• Sandpaper
(120-, 150-, 180-, and 220-grit)
• Cordless drill
• Drill press or drill-guide attachment
• Flush-cutting handsaw
Before You Start
I used 2 x 10 planks of vertical-grain western red cedar for this chair, as it's naturally weather-resistant. Any lumber will do, but apply a preservative to woods that don't fare well outdoors, such as pine and Douglas fir. Avoid wasting material by first figuring out how you'll cut up the lumber (see the downloadable plans). Then crosscut the planks into more manageable pieces.
Crosscut two pieces 37 inches long and one piece 17 inches long, and rip them into 1½-inch strips. Using a miter saw, cut blanks for eight back slats and seven seat slats that measure ¾ inch longer than their finished lengths. Each piece should have a freshly cut square end. To bevel the other end on the table saw, tilt the blade 20 degrees and attach a stopblock to the miter gauge at 36 inches for the back slats and 16 inches for the seat slats.

Respectfully, I read the thoughts and opinions of others, whose thoughts are very relevant. Hence, I thought I'd like to submit some of my opinions. Please do me the courtesy and at least read what I write, I speak only what I know to be logical and true.
We all stand on the-precipice with nothing but the divine nature of all creation. Change is imminent. Life will become for everyone all about choice and consequences and a way to survive that is certainly in our immediate future. You need to wake up and look at the stars. Why has no people come together to plan some historical event shared by all humans everywhere, to honor our solar community, and that which created us. How do you plan to face the center of our galaxy; are you prepared. This is a seasonal event and much more. No need to be afraid, just vigilant
The way I see things the American population has yet to realize, that our beloved America, (home of the brave, and land of the free?) is thriving with corporations that produce poisons and call them medication treatments. These also create other deadly chemicals that injure the Earth, sky and all life. Doctors, who pharmaceutical companies have so to speak, in their pockets, easily corrupted doctors rely on their servitude, They prescribe these drugs to their patients. Did you not know that doctors in the course of their duties will cause a patient to wait so they can receive much compensation from these drug companies? It doesn't matter if your doctor, (whose sworn oath is to cause no harm), make sucklings of us all. It is we the people who carry the burden of the success of these corporate giants who are in one way or another ruling every aspect of our lives. The truth is we have already become the real victims of USA INC. Our country is the biggest drug dealer in the world."
It is my opinion that to stabilize our own debts, is to sue all the biochemical producing companies who profit from wrongs, done to all the victims. Removing from our planet the corporation whose great greed, with ambitions
of subjugating every citizen in this country, which spawns atrocities, I'd say to the sum of 32 trillion dollars.That should cover some of the cost it will take to revamp our Food and Drug Administration and apply common sense. Corruption dwells in the FDA too.
"If thy Right hand offend thee, cut it off. If thy right eye offends thee, pluck it out."
Then begins the threat of plagues made just for the day when the real truth dawns on people. Why are so many women infertile? Why are men impotent? Why are our children born with bizarre genetic abnormalities? Why do we still have the electoral system whereby selected delegates, whose vote determines how our country is operated is used instead of our Constitutional right of one individual, one vote?
USA INC. is sucking he very life from our constitutional rights. That play is simple: corrupt, then conquer.
Americans must also deal realistically with our blind and dysfunctional judicial system. What is right about giving the predators, whose joy is to cause harm or death, room, board and shelter, clothing and every need met. This happens while the victims lay rotting in the ground. It's time to get back to our roots with regard to the reward and punishment. As it is now, there is justice for all, if you can afford an attorney. Attorneys wield so much power and propaganda in this country; so much that we cannot help but be forced to complacency, pursuing a course that deprives others of their rights and destroys the lives of the innocent.
I am not anti-American. I am an honorably discharged veteran of the Vietnam era. I still Trust in God and this once worthy nation. We as a united people must start regrowing our own reclamation project as the only way to rule out those who use us as expendable property. I hope there are enough good and intelligent humans who realize that freedom is of, for and by the people.
We need to become the pilgrims and patriots for the good of all.

Store location
Choose your retail location wisely as it can have an effect on your profitability. You may want to consult with your municipality to find out about laws related to signage, zoning and land use, and do other research about the demographics and environment.
Consider these five factors when choosing a location:
- Zoning: Ensure the area is zoned for retail businesses.
- Demographics: Determine if the demographics of the local population are a good fit with your business (age of the population, income, family size, etc.).
- Traffic analysis: Ensure that you are in a high traffic area and that the store is easily accessible (public transit, parking, etc.).
- Competition: Are nearby stores are complementary to your operations and not in direct competition with your business?
- Future development: Find out if zoning or road changes are expected in the near future or if new development is planned. Such activities could help or harm your operation.
Consider the best scenario for your type of store:
- Convenience stores (supermarkets, hardware, bakeries, drug stores, etc.): Your business may benefit from being in a busy mall or other high traffic area that offers easy access for quick purchases. Since many people enjoy one-stop shopping, you can attract customers from co-located complementary stores.
- Specialty stores (selling unique, hard-to-find products): If you have a specialty store, your products are more unique and often customers do not mind travelling out of the way to purchase your specific products. You could take advantage of lower rent, free parking, and larger warehouse and display space.
- Shoppers' stores (clothing, major appliances, etc.): With a shoppers-type store, you may actually benefit from being near your own competition. You could sell your goods in a shopping centre or mall where consumers can easily compare quality, price, and service offered by a few competing stores.
Consider these issues before signing a long-term lease:
- Do you plan to operate your business indefinitely or for a set number of years?
- Will you be able to expand your business at this location?
- Is the lease flexible? Can you opt to renew or seek another location if need be?
- Is the rent fixed or must you pay a percentage of gross sales to the landlord?
- Make sure any promises the property owner has made to you are in writing (repairs, construction, alterations and maintenance).
Making the decision
You may wish to hire a consultant to analyze 2 or 3 potential locations for your business, or talk to people who have been through the process and are willing to offer advice. Take your time when making your decision; weigh the pros and cons, and make sure it's the best decision for you, as well as the business.
- Choosing a commercial building
Find out how to choose the right commercial building for your business.
- Signing a commercial lease
To ensure your business needs are met, be aware of the many things you need to consider when negotiating a commercial lease.
- Site selection
Find site selection tools that can help you decide where to establish or grow your business.
- Demographics
Get data that sheds light on population characteristics such as location, age, income, education level, and more.

It's been an exciting few days in the Grosjean Bros.' modern-day take on The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. There's been a murder, amicable shopkeeper Gregethor might be dead, and now the brothers have been stolen away in the middle of the night by The Black Hand and forced to make up for a guild hit gone awry.
The series has certainly taken a much darker turn over the past two episodes. I can't wait to see what happens next!

Let's hypothesize that I already have a site with users, whose names and passwords along with other data are already stored to a mySQL database.
One day I decide that I want to expand that site, but require payment for existing users in order to give them access to the new pages. I use PayPal in order to accept payments, in order to confirm that someone has already donated I use ipn.php which connects directly to PayPal and gets specific data. Thus I can not use cookies to know which user payed, and I am not able to update the row of the user, so they would not get what they payed for.
How can I pass data to PayPal in order to recognize who payed?

Academic Minors & Concentrations
A concentration (sometimes referred to as an "area of emphasis") within a degree program constitutes a minimum of 12 distinct and required credits. Courses within a concentration may not serve as electives for students following the concentration sequence, but may be counted as electives for students outside the major and/or concentration.
A minor constitutes five courses, or 15 credit hours total, taken outside the specific degree program in which a student is matriculating. Transfer credits do not count towards a minor. A maximum of one course, or up to 3-credits, of the minor may also fulfill course requirements in the student's major. When this is not the case, students will use their four open electives for the minor and will need to take one additional course to complete their 120 credit hour degree requirements with a minor (total of 123 credit hours). Independent Study courses may not replace a required course in the minor. Courses in all minors are offered on a space available basis and if there is sufficient demand. Some courses have prerequisites that must be taken in the proper sequence. Some courses may require a lab fee. Successfully completed minors will be recorded on your official transcript along with your declared major. Ringling College of Art and Design has the right to cap the number of students wishing to enroll in any minor each year.
Minors should be declared after successfully completing the first course in the minor curriculum. When ready to declare your minor, see the Academic Advisor for your major who will answer any questions you may have and help you complete the appropriate Declaration form, and advise on steps to have your new minor added to your Ringling College transcript.
