You both said YES! The feeling is mutual. Now the rest is up to you! Say Hi and get the conversation started.
I've always had genuine concern for others which--I believe--arises from growing up destitute and working my way through the ranks nothing by virtue of wealth and/or status. Overall though, I am received well by others, and value when others communicate with me informally, are relaxed and can appreciate my individuality. Additionally, I am not caught up in the 'vogue' trends I am happy with my Birks, jeans and flannels.
I don't really have a type, but the following qualities are paramount in a mate: goal-oriented, spiritual, a touch--if not more--of granola-crunchyish, fit, masculine, attractive, and healthy male who holds fidelity with esteem. Looks are an allure, but if ambition and achievement, an amicable personality, a kind regard for one's self, others and the environment along with physical and mental fitness are NOT apparent, then my interest dwindles at warp speed.
A guy who is complementary in a relationship and observes that fexibility and communication are key elements that make the years pass seamlessly is the guy I'd like to be eating dinner with every night, curled up beside or nature-tripping/hors e-backing with in a Hemlock forest.
A NOTE on FALLING in LOVE:
Ultimately, I would like to engage that special someone for a storybook ending, so I am a firm believer that 'stretching' oneself to reach new heights will optimize the search for such an ending. Distance between two persons creates a challenge, and one of many that I am willing to pursue, but distance doesn't have to be forever. And if it were easy everyone would be doing it, but it's not, and I believe that the challenge may just be what many need to reach their "happily ever after"....

Silversmith has gem of a future
Posted: August 26, 2014|
Just off the M1, in the depths of Cotesbach, near Lutterworth, lies a small community that is buzzing with creativity.
In the picturesque stable yard of the Cotesbach estate, there is a café, soft furnishings shop, butcher, blacksmith, craftspeople and a specialist food wholesaler.
The stable yard is also home to CDS Gallery and Studio, the business of 31-year-old silversmith Claire Danielle Sheriff.
She said: "Initially, I was thinking about working in the city centre, but they are so expensive and things get stolen and broken.
"In this area, I haven't come across anything like that. You get nice, well-respected people coming around here.
"Plus this is a good environment to be in rather than setting up a retail outlet in town because of the other creative people here."
After previously working in the NHS as a clinic coordinator, Claire began taking evening classes in jewellery making.
She said: "When I first left school I knew I wanted to get into design.
"I started with interior design but wasn't sure about it, so I took some time out and went and worked at the NHS for a few years.
"When I was doing my evening classes I got completely obsessed with it, and decided to go back to university when I was 26.
"I graduated last year with a first in jewellery and silversmithing and ended up setting up this business really quickly."
During her final year, Claire won the creative award in the business venture competition run by De Montfort University.
She said: "I was then given £1,000 towards my gallery or business idea and was supported by Creative Leicestershire."
Since opening the gallery just under a year ago, Claire's business has grown.
She now stocks more than 100 different items made by county designers.
These include cushions and lampshades from Wigston brand, Hapalaida, paintings from Harborough artist Derek Brittan and works from Leicester artist Jane French.
Her projected turnover for her first year is between £12,000 and £15,000.
Despite the growing business, Claire has decided to return to university in September to take the initial steps to gain a doctorate.
She said: "Since I've graduated, I've found it really hard to get back into designing a new collection because I've got the business side of things now.
"I thought that if I went back to university, I would have projects and tutors to help me.
"I want to be a doctor by the time I'm 40, but I'm not sure what I would do my PhD in yet, possibly researching into working with ceramics and metal, and testing the limits of the materials."
Alongside her degree, Claire has begun working with De Montfort University to provide work experience placements for students.
She has three volunteers working at her shop twice a week.
"What really helped me when I started my business was having a mentor," said Claire.
"My mentor was Jenny Creasey, of Itch Gallery in Oakham, and she was great because she had done it all before.
"I would also advise people who want to set up their own business to do their market research and complete work experience. It is really important."

Students Visit Entrepreneurship Networking Spaces in Indianapolis
January 11, 2013
In October, more than 100 students enrolled in entrepreneurship capstone classes traveled to Indianapolis to experience The Speak Easy and DeveloperTown, where they were treated to a number of speakers and a tour of these innovative and creatively designed work spaces. The Speak Easy was founded in 2012 and has been described as a clubhouse for entrepreneurs, designers, and "geeks" built on the belief that bringing people together in a fun, productive work environment provides the surest way to accelerate the development and launch of high-growth startups in central Indiana.
Adjacent to The Speak Easy is DeveloperTown, a warehouse where every employee/entrepreneur has his or her own small house-like workspace. It is focused on helping companies get their products to market faster and on a stronger technological foundation. This is achieved through collaboration, mentoring, coaching, and technical support and by leveraging the experiences of participating startup companies and seasoned entrepreneurs.

|How did LSU get the nickname Tigers?
thats their team mascot name every team has one with the creation of a college....
LSU's nickname is a throwback to its Confederate heritage and was drawn from the Civil War fame of two Louisiana brigades who fought so fiercely that they were called the Louisiana Tigers.

Employee: Stephen P. Devaney
Employer: Webster Engineering
Insurer: National Union Fire Insurance
Board No.: 02249197
(Judges Levine, Maze-Rothstein and Carroll)
Elaine R. Pulgini, Esq., for the employee
Eugene M. Mullen, Jr., Esq., for the insurer
LEVINE, J. The employee appeals from a decision in which an administrative judge denied his claim for further weekly compensation benefits attributable to an accepted industrial injury. Among other contentions, the employee argues that the judge erred by failing to make findings supporting his termination of the employee's weekly benefits as of the date of the impartial examination. Because this contention has merit, we recommit the case for further findings. 1
The employee's stipulated industrial accident of June 12, 1997 gave rise to this claim for G.L. c. 152, § 34 weekly and § 30 medical benefits. (Dec. 2-3.) Mr. Devaney was knocked off a trailer when he was struck by a wooden beam; he sustained injuries to his back, left leg and left side as a result of the fall. (Dec. 5.) Prior to the hearing and pursuant to § 11A(2), the employee was examined by an impartial physician. The impartial doctor examined the employee on March 9, 1998, and diagnosed " 'chronic back pain of unknown etiology.' " (Dec. 7.) The doctor noted that the employee demonstrated no evidence of instability, according to the clinical examination and diagnostic studies. Id. The § 11A examiner opined that the employee would suffer no permanent disability as a result of the accident, and that he should be encouraged to undertake a work-hardening program to slowly reenter the work force. 2 (Dec. 7-8.) The judge, sua sponte, declared the § 11A physician's report inadequate, due to its failure to address the extent of disability and the causal relationship. (Tr. 16-17.) The employee introduced reports of his treating physician, Dr. John Mahoney, and the insurer introduced reports of its expert physician, Dr. Norman Pollock. (Dec. 6-7.)
The judge did not credit the employee's testimony regarding his reported limitations on bending, stooping, lifting and carrying. (Dec. 8.) The judge concluded, based on his adoption of the impartial examiner's opinion, that "the employee was not totally disabled beyond March 9, 1998[,]" the date of the § 11A examination. (Dec. 10.) The judge awarded § 34 temporary total incapacity benefits from the date of injury until the impartial examination, along with medical benefits for treatment of the diagnosed condition. (Dec. 10-11.)
The employee on appeal argues that the judge's decision is flawed because it does not set out the reasons for terminating the employee's benefits as of the date of the impartial examination. We agree that the subsidiary findings of fact are silent as to why the judge terminated the benefits when he did. Praetz v. Factory Mut. Eng'g & Research, 7 Mass. Workers' Comp. Rep. 45, 47 (1993)("A decision cannot stand in the absence of a foundation for the judge's ultimate conclusion denying benefits"). 3
Despite the misgivings the judge expressed at hearing as to aspects of the impartial report, (Tr. 16-17), he nevertheless adopted the report. However, in adopting the § 11A report, the judge appears to have mischaracterized it. The doctor stated the following regarding the employee's present disability: "It is my impression that he will suffer no permanent disability as a result of this accident. Furthermore, I believe he should be encouraged to be on a work-hardening program with every effort made to make him get back slowly into a work program, protecting his back while doing so." (Impartial medical exhibit, 2.) This evidence "falls short of [warranting] a finding that . . . disability ended at that time [of the examination]." Roderick's Case, 342 Mass. 330, 334 (1961). Indeed, a regimen of work hardening would not be in the context of an immediate return to full duty employment; the doctor's statement stresses a slow return to work. The judge's use of the impartial examination date for the termination of compensation benefits is therefore erroneous. We recommit the case for the judge to make further findings on the extent of the employee's post-examination incapacity. The judge must decide whether the employee is entitled to continuing § 34 benefits or to § 35 benefits. To the extent that the employee did not explicitly claim § 35, such partial incapacity benefits are in dispute as a matter of law in a § 34 claim for temporary total incapacity benefits. On recommittal, the judge must award the "lesser included" § 35 benefits if the evidence and his subsidiary findings of fact so warrant. Fragale v. MCF Industries, 9 Mass. Workers' Comp. Rep. 168, 171-172 (1995). 4
Accordingly, we recommit the case for further findings consistent with this opinion.
So ordered.
Frederick E. Levine
Administrative Law Judge
Susan Maze-Rothstein
Administrative Law Judge
Martine Carroll
Administrative Law Judge
FILED: December 1, 2000
1 The employee also argues that the judge failed to provide the impartial physician with updated medical reports.
2 It is unclear from the decision and record whether an EMG/nerve conduction test conducted two months prior to the examination was included in the materials reviewed by the impartial doctor. (Dec. 6.) The results of that procedure indicated acute left S1 and L5 motor radiculopathy. Id. The employee forwarded the report, along with updated reports from his treating doctor, to the judge for inclusion in the materials to be reviewed by the impartial physician. (Employee's brief, 6-8.)
3 The employee's appeal does not challenge the judge's findings for the period prior to the date of the impartial examination. The insurer did not cross appeal. See Saugus v. Refuse Energy Systems Co., 388 Mass. 822, 831 (1983)("failure to take a cross appeal precludes a party from obtaining a judgment more favorable to it than the judgment entered below").
4 The judge should also clarify the status of the EMG and treating doctor's reports, which the employee claims were not forwarded to the impartial physician. If necessary, the parties can obtain an addendum to the doctor's report commenting on those documents.

mStation debuts cases, Orb II at CES 2008
updated 06:00 pm EST, Thu January 3, 2008
mStation cases, Orb II
mStation today announced several additions to its product lineup in time for CES 2008, with new iPod and iPhone cases and a new incarnation of its 2.1 Stereo Orb. The mStation 2.1 Stereo Orb II comes in several new colors that compliment the look and feel of the 3G iPod nanos, with a choice of the following: red, black, green, pink, and silver. The speaker system is compatible with any iPod and the iPhone, as well as being able to sync with iTunes through the included USB connection. Users can control the unit with a 10-key remote, or through the embedded controls on the Orb II itself. The mStation 2.1 Stereo Orb II will be available during the first quarter of 2008 for $130.
mStation's Mophie Knox case ($40) is designed to allow users to keep money and credit cards securely fastened to the front part, while the back part holds their iPod nano. It is constructed from aircraft-grade aluminum, and is available in a choice of black, pink, red, or silver. The Mophie Knox case is currently designed for the 2G Nano, with a 3G version shipping during the first quarter of 2008.
The Mophie Radura ($20) is a clear case, made from polycarbonate plastics. The case covers all scratch-able surfaces on the iPod, but leaves the scroll wheel and any connectors available for use. Versions for the 80GB and 160GB iPod classic and the 3G Nano feature three rubberized inserts to add shock resistance; the inserts are black, pink, and green, with the latter two able to glow in the dark. The Radura will be available for 3G Nanos, iPod Classics, and the iPhone in early 2008, while versions for the 2G Nano and iPod with video are currently shipping.
The Mophie Base Case ($15) is made from silicone rubber, providing the iPod with shock protection against bumps and drops. Color availability ranges from black, pink, or frost; the case is currently shipping for the 2G Nano and iPod with video, while versions for the iPhone, iPod touch, 3G Nano, and Classic will be available during the first quarter of 2008. mStation's accompanying Mophie Ratchet ($20) includes a frost Base Case, but can wbe used with any of the available Base Cases or Raduras. The Ratchet is made from hard plastic, and can swivel 360-degrees. It is currently shipping for the 2G Nano, and will be available in early 2008 for the iPhone, iPod touch, 3G Nano, and Classic.
Lastly, Mophie Run ($25) is a non-slip armband made from hard plastic and breathable cloth. The case can swivel 360-degrees, allowing users to move it to a comfortable position while they exercise. As with most of the other cases, it is available for the 2G Nano and iPod with video, with versions for the iPhone, iPod touch, 3G Nano, and Classic shipping early this year.

Normally this burning smell could be: electric heat strips or gas furnace start up if for the first time in a while. Next if you have already been running the unit for a while it may be the blower motor over heating. Do you have gas or electric heating.
Ok great,
I hope you are not using pleated filters! They really make your system work hard and usually cost you allot of extra money in utility costs!!!
Well honestly i dont see how the filter could be burning. Do you have an electronic air cleaner attached to your Electric furnace?
The cheep filter is called a poly filter or fiberglass filter... they usually run about two dollars at the builders supply store.
Ok let me be clear... Did you buy an electronic air cleaner and have it installed at your home?
This is part of your a/c system and can make the burning smell if you have one of these.
Thank you am i asking too many questions? Are you still wanting to locate the burning smell?
yes. I can help you further if you want but it seems you are not wanting me to ask you questions about your system so that i can help you. Am i miss reading you?
Your motor may have sustained damage...i don't know for sure. However you have been smelling the burning smell and i think it is important for us to figure what is causing it.
Replacing the filter is a long range solution. The short term solution is to remove the pleated filter and run the system for a few hours and see if this helps clear the burning smell.
Try this and see if the burning smell goes away. I want to thank you for contacting Just Answers! We appreciate you. If i have helped you please click on the ACCEPT link. If you have any other questions i would be happy to answer them!

Message from the DirectorThe Rural Medicine Program is THE program for Alabama's rural students who wish to continue their lifestyle and practice comprehensive personalized medicine in a non-urban community. It is THE program that trains you to help people and be an important part of your community. It is THE program that trains you to identify the majority of the medical problems that occur in the people you serve and then manage their recovery. It is THE program that trains you to be a rural family physician.
If you lived at least 8 years in a small town or rural community in Alabama and want to live and practice medicine in a town like you grew up in, you need to consider the Rural Medicine Program.

People are dying in large numbers in a refugee camp in South Sudan, Medecins Sans Frontieres has warned.
The medical charity says as many as four young children die at the Batil camp every day - twice the established emergency threshold.
The rainy season makes it impossible to bring food in by road, and the only way to deliver aid is by air.
Some 170,000 refugees have fled to camps in South Sudan from Sudan following fighting north of the border.
"What we are seeing here in this camp in nothing short of a humanitarian catastrophe," MSF's medical co-ordinator Helen Patterson said.
The majority of those who have died in the camp are children under five, and MSF says that diarrhoea seems to be the biggest cause.
It adds that malnutrition is a contributing factor, calling for urgent help.
The medical charity says some 28% of children in Batil are malnourished, with 10% severely affected.
It says two people per 10,000 are dying each day - double the rate at which an emergency is declared. The camp houses some 34,000 people.
One man, Ibrahim, says his mother died after reaching Batil, in South Sudan's Upper Nile state, which stretches north between Sudan's South Kordofan and Blue Nile states, where fighting is raging between the Sudanese army and rebel groups.
Osman, another refugee, says he has already lost his nephew, and is worried that the baby boy's father will soon die too.
Refugees - many of whom walked to weeks to get to camps - say they were forced from their homes by ground and air attacks by the Sudanese military, and are being chased away because of their ethnic origin.
Officials in Khartoum deny that civilians are being targeted and blame the humanitarian situation on the rebels.
Many people in South Kordofan and Blue Nile fought with southerners against Khartoum's Islamist, Arab-dominated government for two decades. But when South Sudan gained independence in 2011, they found themselves north of the new international border.
South Sudan's government, formed by the ex-rebel movement, denies charges by Khartoum that it is backing the rebel groups on Sudanese territory.
The tension along this part of the border is one of the issues which caused Sudan and South Sudan to come to the brink of war earlier this year.

So there's Esbit. And Coughlan's? And stuff from Academy Sports? I'm curious:(1) Which has the highest BTU output?(2) Which smells the least and leaves the least amount of residue?I haven't played with Esbit ever before, but I'm looking forward to doing a few tests in my chemistry lab and seeing whether I'll be using Esbit this summer instead of my trusty cannister stove. So let me know what brands I should try, and where to buy them.Stay tuned for when results come in...
In my experience, Esbit leaves less residue than Coghlans. I haven't used Academy Sports; they aren't available where I live in Washington.I can clean my pot after using Esbit with just water. With Coghlans, I can't completely remove the residue without using something abrasive. Ounce for ounce, I think they perform the same. I think Esbit smells worse than Coghlans but it really doesn't bother me and I just keep it in a sandwich bag. I look forward to reading your review! Have fun!Edit: I haven't seen military hexamine in a couple decades but I haven't looked for it either.Edit part deuce: I shouldn't say that the Esbit creates less residue. I meant to say that the soot is easier to clean off.
Edited by IDBLOOM on 05/13/2013 06:29:10 MDT.
where can you buy coghlan fuel tabs in Los Angeles?
http://www.amazon.com/Coghlans-9565-Fuel-Tablets/dp/B00079YU46/ref=sr_1_1?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1368380307&sr=1-1&keywords=coghlan+fuelApparently free shipping from one of the vendors. Locally here in Washington I buy it from Wholesale Sports. I didn't see one near you ala google. They are fairly common so I'd be surprised if your local sporting goods stores don't carry them.
"I haven't seen military hexamine in a couple decades but I haven't looked for it either."It think it is Trioxane, not Hexamine. Doesn't work as good as Esbit, but a lot cheaper and toxic.
Most of the military stuff that I've seen was Trioxane, packaged into O.D. foil packs. It is better than nothing, but it is not as good as Esbit.I have seen hexamine round tablets sold in O.D. cardboard tubes, but it didn't seem as hot as Esbit, either.--B.G.--
I havent seen it at sports authority or rei...maybe Big5 Sports?edit:thx for link...that is damn cheap and free shipping too...is it the real stuff,have you bought from them?
Edited by hipass on 05/12/2013 14:37:22 MDT.
Nick/Bob, thanks for the correction. We just called them "Heat Tabs" and to be honest I only used them a couple of times. I left Germany in '94 and never saw them in circulation after that. Dave,I can buy them locally so I've never interacted with this vendor. These Coghlan tablets are .25oz and [normally] the Esbit tablets are .5oz. REI sells a box of 12 .5oz Esbit tablets for $6.95 vs the 24 .25oz Coghlan tablets from Amazon so still $2 back in your pocket for the same amount of fuel. There are 4g Esbit tablets out there but I don't have any experience with them nor have I seen them at any of my local stores.
"We just called them "Heat Tabs" and to be honest I only used them a couple of times."Trioxane heat tabs are OK, but not great. In Korea, we had to use those in a foxhole to heat up coffee. If we didn't use Trioxane, we had to pry the back off a Claymore mine and pick a piece of C4 explosive out. It would burn about the same, but you just needed to be careful how you handled it (not recommended). In general, Trioxane heat tabs are much larger than Esbit cubes, so you were supposed to break the bar into thirds.I have a box here:FUEL, COMPRESSED, TRIOXANERATION HEATING3 BARS...Chemical Compounding Corp., Riverhead, N.Y. 11901Three bars in one box for $1.--B.G.--
Another brand to consider is Bleuet.
I used Bleuet for the first time one year ago. It seemed to be virtually identical to Esbit brand except for a very slight pink color to it which makes no difference in performance. I only purchased the Bleuet because Esbit brand was unavailable, and the Bleuet cost was slightly higher.--B.G.--
I found Coughlan's in a military surplus store in the LA area. I just bought a package of Stansport hexamine tabs to try out that has different packaging but the similar appearance (dont know if they are the same) at a military surplus store in Pomona.
Ian ,i just ordered some.
I ordered several packs of fuel and the stove from here:http://www.campingsurvival.com/fueltablets.htmlThis is a very cheap place to get it from but shipping is not free so the amazon link might be better if you just want to try out one box.I did see Dick's sporting goods was selling the folding stove + fuel a while back.
Edited by theronr on 05/13/2013 00:52:01 MDT.
I have to say the Coglans are a much better option for me. they have them at my local outdoor store (redwood trading post, redwood city) for $2.??.. something under $3 i think.. $2.55 maybe. And that is for 24 tablets. One of those tablets is perfect to heat up one cup of water for coffee/tea/hotchoc etc. One won't quite boil 2 cups of water but 2 tabs will for sure. So compared to regular 14g Esbit brand which cost $7 for 12.. these are roughly more than half the cost and twice as versatile..

Hello To any & all who are trying to find Christians who are in Sault Sainte Marie, MI
we have just changed our web hosting service are in the very early stages of building our new site. We hope to have audio & study material as well as links to other sites & software that we use to grow in the grace & knowledge of The Lord Jesus Christ that hopefully you will find helpful for the same goal
Our group currently assembles at 545 Ashmun St in The Small Mall, Sault Sainte Marie, MI. We assemble Sundays beginning at 9:30am. Please feel free to call (906.203.0726) or email (email@example.com) if you have any questions, comments or concerns.
Building this new site will take a while so please be patient but In case you are wondering who we are & what we are about, I suggest you read the New Testament. In short though…
We believe in an all powerful Creator who The Bible calls God, Jehovah & The Father. We believe in His Son Jesus of Nazareth called Christ or Messiah & that The Bible contains all that is needed pertaining to life & godliness. We are not now, nor have we ever been associated with any denomination or sect or convention or movement except the one that Jesus & His Apostles began 2000 years ago. In Matthew 16:18 Jesus said He came to "build My church". We are striving to become and stay a part of that one true church, not to add or take away or alter anything He, The Father or The Holy Spirit reveals for man to believe & practice. The Bible reveals only one true religion to worship God, which is why Jesus said "all who worship Him (God) must worship in spirit & in truth". All of this is the motivation behind a sort of saying that one of the brothers here came up with… Truth studied, truth practiced, truth taught. Not because WE are the only ones with the truth, but because God through The Bible is. what is revealed in The Bible is the truth about Him & how He wants us to worship Him
If you have further questions or concerns about us please write or call

Making soap at home can be a great way to save money. However, many recipes call for using lye in soap making. Lye is not a very safe chemical to have around. This is a guide about making soap without lye.
Read and rate the best solutions below by giving them a "thumbs up".
It's easy to make no lye soap bars with soap crafter's melt and pour glycerin soap base that you can purchase at almost any craft store. You can use items like clean dry yogurt cups, juice boxes, cream cheese containers, etc. as the molds. Add your favorite essential oil, strength as desired, for scent too. One pound of glycerin base will yield about 5 bars of soap if you are pouring 3 ounces of melted glycerin base into each mold.
Of course, you'll want to place one of them out right away to use so don't bother wrapping that one ;-)
Source: Trial and error and a combination of recipes.
I make laundry soap for myself and both daughters-in-law. We all really like it and it is so easy. One batch makes 2 gallons of soap and this is how I do it.
I grate 1/3 bar of Fels Naptha soap into some amount (like a gallon) of water on the stove with my cheese grater. You could probably use any bar soap, but I like Fels Naptha.
When the bar soap is all melted I add 1/2 cup of washing soda and 1/2 cup of borax. Stir that until it is dissolved. Pour in a 2 gallon bucket and add hot water from stove top until the bucket is filled. You will need some stirring room though. After you stir it, let it sit for 24 hours.
It will have a look of "chicken fat" on top. Stir that up really well and pour into jugs. Shake well each time and use 1/2 cup per load. I also use vinegar as my fabric softener, too. There is no static and the clothes are soft with a clean smell. Your soap will look like "egg drop soup" with the eggs whites in it. That is normal just shake bottle before use. I hope you like this, we sure do and it costs almost nothing to make.

To find great soap recipes, simply go to the library and get some amazing books on the subject. You can also search Google using "melt and pour soap recipes" and find more recipes than you might ever need.
I have made some and they are amazing to keep and to give. This time I used the best book I have ever gotten. It's called "300 Handcrafted Soaps" by Marie Browning. The recipes are easy and fun.

Here are questions related to Making Soap Without Lye.
Does anyone know how to make cream soap without lye? Especially whipped soap that I have seen on freshwhipped.com.
By william02/11/2011
To you people asking about lye and 'ancient' methods: You need* sodium or potassium hydroxides (lye or 'pot ash') to properly sapon-ify the base oils, plain and simple. There are some plants that contain diluted salts that 'foam' when added to water and agitated but it's not 'soap' in the concentration us modern people have come to accept.
** Please, enough with the 'hurrr, ancient people didn't have lye powder around so lye isn't needed'. At first they didn't know what 'magic' allowed this to happen. Once the ancients realized that the muds and water near their sacrificial zones would froth and clothes were cleaner when washed there, it didn't take long for them to realize it was something in the location, the combination between the wood and the flesh of those burnt offerings that was causing it.
in hindsight, we know that plant or wood ashes , when soaked with water, will leech out a strong alkali solution. once discovered and pre-industrialized, they would take this solution and boil it down until the water evaporated and the white crystals (now called 'lye') were collected and stored. Lye powder is very stable and easy to store compared to a 'lye' solution, so long as you never get it wet. ;-) It will degrade over time and with exposure to moisture in the air.
I have heard that a solution of a LOT of baking soda and a little water will get a relatively high ph and when mixed with a smaller amount of olive oil and heated will create a mildly foaming 'soap', but you're not breaking down enough oils to create those saponins
I have buddies that make their own 'lye' by soaking hardwood ashes from their smokers in a 5 gallon bucket of water. you keep adding ashes and wait until the PH reaches the desired level. You can either use that solution for cooking (pretzels and bagels especially) or you can boil it down and harvest the crystals.
This isn't much different than making your own salt petre from hay & urine.
I am looking for hand soap recipes that do not require lye.

You can go to about.com and get recipes. Also sign up for their newsletters. You can chose the ones you want to receive. They send out lots of info on soaps. The ones you want are the melt and pour soaps. They don't require lye. You can find products needed online or at your fave crafts store. The oils can be found at health stores such as Nature's Outlet or GNC.
I was reading information about making soap products someone had posted on ThriftyFun. Is it possible to make nice soap i.e., glycerin without using lye? As I have never tried to make soap, I wondered if it there was a way to do this. Many thanks. Helen xx
By Helen from U.K
By Cherie S.02/21/2014
Making a lot of soap each week is a rewarding hobby that turned into a business for me. So yes, I make a lot of soap. The soap that I make requires lye in every batch.
I could make soap using melt and pour soap bases and not have to handle the lye. Why don't I do the melt and pour bases? Read the ingredients in those bases. There are very few melt and pour bases that do not contain some pretty nasty chemicals and additives.
Making my own goat milk soaps with a good recipe can make some great all natural soaps. In my natural soaps I include olive oil for moisturizing properties, coconut oil for the cleansing and nutrients, castor oil for great fluffy lather, shea butter for the moisturizing properties and nutrients, Tussah silk for that great feel in the bar of soap, Kaolin clay to help refine the skin and help to detoxify the skin, some bars have honey in them to feed the collagen in the skin, some bars have essential oils in them for the great benefits they bring to the soap, colorants and micas to make the soaps pretty so that people will visually enjoy the soaps.
Read the ingredients on the melt and pour bases available. Are they nice and pure? Remember, those melt and pour soaps also started with lye. The lye is now saponified into soap but it was there, just like in my hand crafted bars. Do you really want to put just any chemical on the largest organ (skin) of your body?
If you don't think that soap matters, try stepping on a clove of garlic with your bare heel. Notice how fast you taste garlic in your mouth? Way too fast to mess with any chemicals in your soaps.
Thrifty Fun has been around so long that many of our pages have been reset several times. Archives are older versions of the page and the feedback that was provided then.
I would like to try making my own soap, but am a little concerned of any fumes given off when using lye since I have asthma. Is it necessary to use lye in soapmaking? Are there recipes out there for making soap without lye?
Terry Lynn from Toronto, Ontario

Local observers say they're a bit surprised by a new Brookings Institution report that indicates that Oklahoma City's urban core lost more than 6,000 jobs this past decade, one of 91 of the country's largest metro areas that saw a loss of downtown employment.
Study shows 'job sprawl' in Oklahoma City, drop in downtown employment
Real estate brokers say the downtown office market occupancy rate is at it's highest level in 30 years and note downtown is home to several thriving companies not present a few years ago. But a new report paints a different picture.
The study by the Brookings Institution, "Job Sprawl Stalls: The Great Recession and Metropolitan Employment Location," documents the impact of the Great Recession on where jobs are located today in America and charts the shift in employment over three time periods between 2000 and 2010.
While the Great Recession stalled the outward shift of employment — often called "job sprawl" — by 2010, nearly twice the share of jobs (43 percent) were located at least 10 miles away from downtown as within three miles of a central business district (23 percent).
The study shows that Oklahoma City between 2000 and 2010 experienced a job drop of 2.4 percent within three miles of the central business district, a drop of 4.8 percent three to 10 miles of the central business district, and an increase of 7.2 percent from 10 to 35 miles away from the central business district.
Oklahoma City, which spans 622 square miles, experienced the sixth-largest increase in outer-ring share of employment, the report said.
'Loss' is questioned
Elizabeth Kneebone, author of the report and fellow at Brookings, said the Great Recession of 2008-2009 slowed the gap both locally and nationally. But she notes that even during the recession, downtown Oklahoma City lost about 3 percent in employment while the loss in the outer ring stood at 1 percent.
"In the pre-recession period from 2007 to 2000, the region was growing, adding employment overall," Kneebone said. "And the core shed jobs slightly … That's what was fueling the overall shift to jobs to the outer ring."
Jane Jenkins, president of Downtown Oklahoma City Inc., and Blair Humphreys, executive director of the Institute for Quality Communities at the University of Oklahoma, don't question the census data used by Kneebone, but they're uncertain as to where the 6,000 job losses took place.
"I don't think we've seen a loss," Jenkins said. "This measures from 2000 to 2010. And we seen tremendous growth between 2010 and 2013, especially downtown. So this wouldn't reflect all the growth of Devon Energy, SandRidge Energy or Continental Resources."
Jenkins, who read the study, noted it shows Oklahoma City has 44.6 percent of its employment within 10 miles of the urban core — 10 points above the national average.
"Even though we have a sprawling community, the jobs center is pretty well contained," Jenkins said.
Kneebone responds that the picture isn't as rosy when comparing Oklahoma City to smaller metropolitan areas on the list. She adds that only 16 percent of employment outside Oklahoma City's urban core is in densely developed areas.
Is it a true picture?
Humphreys suspects the data falls into a timeline that doesn't represent the true trend of changes in Oklahoma City's urban core. He noted that the city's Metropolitan Area Projects didn't get fully underway until the late 1990s, and the impact of such changes were staggered over the next several years.
Continue reading this story on the...
This study does a good job at catching something that is happening at a national level. But it doesn't appreciate the nuances of what is happening in Oklahoma City today. It shows us losing 6,000 jobs within three miles of downtown. You can ask brokers — there is no way we've lost 6,000. But keep in mind the last three years have been really good for downtown."
Blair Humphreys,
Executive director of the Institute for Quality Communities at the University of Oklahoma

Early childhood education has been around for decades, but in recent years prekindergarten has emerged as a natural warm-up for a traditional K-12 education. Some states offer preK right in the same building with elementary grades. In other states, prekindergarten programs are found in child-care centers, YMCAs, churches, and other community facilities.
The goal of prekindergarten is to prepare students for kindergarten, which has become much more academic in recent years. In fact, kindergarten today looks a lot like 1st grade of yesteryear, and today's preK looks the way many parents remember kindergarten.
Still, preK is optional, and many families choose not to send their children to a formal school at age 4. In a few states, such as Florida, Georgia, and Oklahoma, preK is free for anyone who wants it. Other states offer preK for children from lower-income families, so they can catch up to their more affluent peers in vocabulary and social skills.
Parents considering preK may be overwhelmed with the choices: Go or not? Is my child ready? Will my child be behind if I don't enroll her? Which school?
The best way to assess a preK program is to visit, observe, and ask questions. Some parents want a warm environment and are most concerned with helping their child build social skills. Others want their child to have the opportunity to start reading if she's ready. A site visit and conversations with other parents will help you decide whether a preK program is right for your child.
You can also check the school's accreditation. Many carry the seal of approval from the National Association for the Education of Young Children. Others may be certified by state or regional accreditation agencies. By visiting the websites of the accrediting agencies, you can find out the minimum standards.
Kristina Gawrgy Campbell of the NAEYC responds to some commonly questions.
Why would a child need preK? Isn't it OK to start school in kindergarten?
Many children enter kindergarten without the foundation they need to succeed in school. High-quality early childhood education, including prekindergarten, ensures that children have a better chance of succeeding in school, work, and life. This is especially true for children from low-income households.
[Read "How To Choose a Prekindergarten Program" for guidelines on what to look for.]
Some parents worry about separation anxiety when their child starts preK. Are there ways the parent can prepare the child for preK that would lessen the child's anxiety, especially for a child who had been cared for at home until now?
The parent should be honest and talk to their child about what they are about to embark on and how the day will go. The parent should also try to lead by example. If the parent is calm and positive about the experience, the child will likely be positive, too.
Some parents worry that their child is less mature compared with other kids his age. Can a child who is developmentally a little behind benefit from preK? Or will he get left behind by his more able peers?
A child who is developmentally behind in any way can benefit from entering a high-quality early childhood education program. High-quality programs focus just as much on the social and emotional development as they do the cognitive development. Staff in high-quality settings should be willing and able to work closely with the parents and families to communicate the assessment and progress of the child.
Some parents are concerned that preK is too academic for such a young child. Is it beneficial for a child to do what used to be done in kindergarten at a younger age, such as pre-reading and early math skills?
This is a balancing act that is in constant debate in the field. However, NAEYC has for years backed the philosophy that there are developmentally appropriate ways to teach children based on their age and individual needs.
If a child is developmentally behind and does not master all the preK skills, will she be held back? Is it possible to "flunk" preK?
It is NAEYC's position that it is the responsibility of the program, in conjunction with the family, to provide what the child needs to develop and learn. If a child enters a high-quality program, he should have no problems moving on to kindergarten. The year at which a child enters kindergarten should be determined by the child's age. If the child meets the age requirement set by the state or district, then he or she should enter kindergarten. The kindergarten program and staff should be able to meet that child at her developmental level.
Do children still get to play and have fun in preK?
Absolutely. In a high-quality prekindergarten program, play is an essential part of the curriculum.
Some preK programs are full day, 8:30 to 2:30. Is this too long for a 4-year-old? How can a parent prepare his child for a full day of school?
It is not too long if the program knows how divide the time effectively for a child of that age. If the child is actively engaged in learning, he or she will be fine. According to [NAEYC guidelines for] developmentally appropriate practice, "teachers should organize the daily schedule to allow periods of alternating active and quiet time, adequate nutrition, and nap time (for young children in full-day programs)." NAEYC would also recommend at least 60 minutes of extended time for children to be deeply involved in activity and sustain dramatic play, construction, and other activities at a complex level.
What if a parent thinks her child might have a learning disability? Is preK too early to screen for learning disabilities?
No, preK is not too early. Again, high-quality programs and teachers will be equipped to know how to pick up on the signs of a disability, but parents should also feel comfortable going to the teacher if they suspect anything. In fact, children get the best education when the program is not only ready and prepared for them but also prepared to involve and work closely with the parents and families.
Finally, are there things parents should do at home to prepare their child for prekindergarten? For example, reading books about starting school or talking about school in a fun, positive way.
Those are two very good examples. Parents should be reading to their children as early as possible and always share a positive outlook on preK and school in general.

Comments on Is Prekindergarten Right for Your Child?
Janinasays: Feb. 02, 2012
- My son was in PreK-3 and PreK-4 and is now in Kindergarten. The first two years were at a private school and now he is in a public school. What my son knows is primarily due to my efforts, not the school system. We are at school for social reasons and because dad insists. I am disappointed in the level of education. Kids learn and relearn the alphabet over and over again in all 3 levels, if we would have stayed at the private school. The phocus in preK is on socialization. The numbers learned tend to be 1-10 and somewhat up to 20. Only once one gets to Kidergarten the focus shifts to 100. We are in a top public school in the state now, so we are learning one year ahead, grade 1 level. This selective enrollment school expects all kids to know reading walking in and to have some math skills. Nevertheless, the program is teaching to a test, not focusing on the individual child's needs. My child is number 25 on all paperwork in the class of about 30 kids. Kids are expected to be indipendent with dressing and undressing, putting their homework into a box and to take their homework from their bins to their backpack. Every kid has responsibility for some maintenance in the class. For us the work is easy and just occupies his day. His handwriting actually got worse after being in the school a few months. It got sluppy as he rushes doing easy homework. Also, sheets come home from what the kids were supposedly doing in class and a lot of them are not done and are not going to be done. He is a straight A student. I asked the teacher to test his grade level knowledge to determine the proper placement and I was turned down. I was told instead to work on his shoe tieing and on getting him to be less shy in the class. I am disappointed in the education system. My son reads at least at grade 4 and is doing math at grade 3. The public school is refusing to let him be ahead and would rather have him be like everyb ody else. Because of the class size, they cannot accomondate a differentiated education. So, our school system is failing us like many other kids. Homeschooling is growing as the answer to the public munster.

InterNations Featured Blog
Joanna: Origami Living
To westerners, there is hardly a more drastical change of scenery and culture than moving to Japan. Joanna is a South African expat who has made the move there, started her family, and has not looked back since, even when times got as hard as they did in March 2011. She blogs at Origami Living.
Please tell us a little bit about yourself. Who you are, where you come from, when you moved to Japan, etc.
I moved to Japan with my husband in August 2009. We met while I was working in London. I was born in Johannesburg, South Africa, and after completing my Masters in Marketing Management I went to Taiwan to teach English. For some reason I have always been interested in the Far East, but little did I know that I would end up living here permanently one day. I am married to a wonderful Japanese man and have a son who was born in July 2011, the same year Japan suffered a major earthquake and Tsunami.
When and why did you decide to start blogging about your experiences?
I blog mostly for myself, I think. I kept journals as a kid, then once the digital age hit, so did my journaling! Started in 2009 as a window into my life here for family to keep up to date, but started building a network of fellow Japan bloggers and my passion grew from there. Comments are fun, i like the interaction, but even if i didn't get comments i'd keep blogging, because i like to go back and reread and reminisce.
Do you have any favorite blog entries of yours?
- Famous For No Good Reason (Recap of my Earthquake experience)
- A Favorite Photo of Me
Tell us about the ways your new life in Japan differs from that back home. Did you have trouble getting used to the new circumstances? Did you experience culture shock?
It is becoming increasingly hard to compare my life before and after Japan with each life change: getting married, having a baby, the death of in-laws, the tsunami etc... But I believe that the "culture shock" I experienced while teaching in Taiwan prepared me somewhat for a life living in a different culture. For me, the greatest obstacle has to be the language. Oh how I wish I had known I would fall in love with a Japanese man and follow him around the world to Japan. The flight so South Africa is a little over 20 hours with a stop-over! On a day to day basis, as with any place I have lived, you get into a routine that sometimes it is hard to differentiate one country's routine from another. I do eat a lot of tofu now that I live in Japan though - ha!
Do you think you were fully prepared for what awaited you in Japan? If you could, would you change some decisions/preparations you made?
I would seriously have considered a language course. I briefly started Japanese lessons in London but with a hectic work load I was too quick to slack off. I have never been particularly tied to certain food or cosmetic products so have made an easy transition into the Japanese lifestyle. In many cases I prefer the food here. The preparations that are hard to make until you get here are the customary differences. Most of which are unspoken, but these I learn about in time and from friends and family. If I had it again I would still have followed my then boyfriend to Japan, no question.
Every expat knows that expat life comes with some hilarious anecdotes and funny experiences. Care to share one with us?
I still marvel over the deft manner in which Japanese people can remove their shoes coming in and out of homes and temples. I am updating all my shoes to be of the slip-on variety because the bottom-up duck pose is just getting embarrassing.
Also nobody believes me when I tell them I am South African. Surely I'm German, Russian, American...
Which three tips would you like to give future expats before they embark on their new life in Japan?
Learn the language, be mindful of others, take blunders in your stride.
How is the expat community in Japan? Did you have a hard time finding like-minded people or fellow expats?
The expat community is a thriving one and depending your life situation or interests it is easy to find others to have fun with. Join clubs societies and make Facebook your friend.
How would you summarize your expat life in Japan in a single, catchy sentence?
My life became prettier the minute I stepped foot in Japan.

Cash-Poor Governments Ditching Public Hospitals
Posted By kurtnimmo On August 30, 2010 @ 1:19 pm In Old Infowars Posts Style,U.S. News | Comments Disabled
The Wall Street Journal
August 30, 2010
Faced with mounting debt and looming costs from the new federal health-care law, many local governments are leaving the hospital business, shedding public facilities that can be the caregiver of last resort.
Officials in Lauderdale County, Ala., this spring opted to transfer their 91-year-old Eliza Coffee Memorial Hospital and other properties to a for-profit company after struggling to satisfy an angry bond insurer.

"We were next to knocking on bankruptcy's door," said Rhea Fulmer, a Lauderdale County commissioner who approved the deal with RegionalCare Hospital Partners, of Brentwood, Tenn, but with trepidation. She said the county had no guarantee the company would improve care in the decades to come. "Time will tell."
