Rogue Ales and Voodoo Doughnut come together to give you an alcoholic beverage that tastes like breakfast.
You read it right. This concoction – described by Rogue as "a collision of crazies" – contains "a baker's dozen number of ingredients" including (you guessed it) bacon and maple syrup from one of Voodoo's signature doughnuts. Throw it all in, add beer and voilà!
Unique, no doubt… but something tells us this wouldn't go so well with pancakes, regardless of ingredients.

Seemingly every year there are new reports that something we consume or use on a daily basis is carcinogenic. But what exactly does that mean on a biological level?
The Cancer Genome Atlas project, already several years underway, is transforming the way scientists think about and treat cancer.
There are some dramatic cases in which cancers have regressed or gone away on their own, which raises the bigger question of why some early cancers progress and others don't.

I like that you don't have to pay for internet and we always got the kind of room we requested. Your choice of bed is a king size or double and our request was always accommodated. I have been to several hotels that restrict your bed type if you are a priceline customer because they claim that the bed type is predetermined and that you cannot change it. This is not the case with the Renaissance at Boca Raton. We definitely hope we get the Renaissance hotel every time we visit Boca Raton ...

Everyone was fantastic and so was the property. A great Priceline price made it exceptional. If you are going on vacation, this hotel would be great if you got a great Priceline rate. If you have to pay standard rates, then you could get something closer to the beach for that much money. If you're there primarily for golf, then it would be a great location.

Death Penalty Method Upheld
BobKerlik, Tribune-Review/Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
The Supreme Court's decision Wednesday upholding the most common method of lethal injection is unlikely to instill fear among inmates on Pennsylvania's death row.
"I don't think you're going to see executions in Pennsylvania starting to roll along," said Rich Dieter, executive director of the Death Penalty Information Center. "There's some ambivalence toward the death penalty in Pennsylvania, and the state tends to go slow and scrutinize each case."
The state last executed someone in 1999 and has the fourth- highest number of death row inmates with 225. But it has only executed three people since the Supreme Court allowed executions to resume in 1976. Only California, Florida and Texas have more death row inmates.
Court delays, appeals and public opinion are largely behind Pennsylvania's large population of death row inmates and dearth of executions, said Bruce Ledewitz, a law professor at Duquesne University and former Secretary of the National Coalition Against the Death Penalty.
"I think there's not a lot of public pressure to put people to death," Ledewitz said. "It doesn't seem to be a winning issue."
It's not a universal sentiment.
Almost immediately after the Supreme Court ruled, Virginia lifted its moratorium on the death penalty. Officials in Mississippi and Oklahoma said they would seek execution dates for convicted murderers, and other states were ready to follow.
Executions across the country had been on hold for the past seven months while the high court examined the issue. Chuck Ardo, a spokesman for Gov. Ed Rendell, said no executions were delayed in Pennsylvania because of the Supreme Court case.
The justices voted 7-2 in rejecting a constitutional challenge to lethal injection procedures in Kentucky, which uses three drugs to sedate, paralyze and kill inmates. Three dozen states, including Pennsylvania, use similar methods.
Rendell has signed 78 death warrants since he took office, all of which have been stayed by the courts.
"The governor believes that our lethal injection protocol is neither cruel nor inhumane," Ardo said.
Led by Chief Justice John Roberts, the Supreme Court rebuffed the latest challenge to capital punishment, this time by foes focusing on methods rather than on the legality of the death penalty itself. Justice John Paul Stevens voted with the majority on the question of lethal injections but said for the first time that he now believes the death penalty is unconstitutional.
Death penalty opponents said challenges to lethal injections would continue in states where problems with administering the drugs have been documented.
Yesterday's case was not about the constitutionality of the death penalty, generally, or even lethal injection. …

If you are considering a turnkey solution for creating a Web site, you need to compare features and costs among the available providers.
Find Out What's Included in a Package
No two turnkey packages are exactly alike, so carefully assess what's included and what's provided for an additional fee. As with any hosting service, check to see how much site storage and bandwidth you're entitled to and what the fees are if you exceed the maximum limits. In addition to storage and bandwidth, fees may be based on the number of catalog items your store features. E-mail accounts, domain name registration (not including InterNIC fees), merchant account approval, usage logs, and search engine registration are other items often (but not always) included in a package. Content limitations may make an otherwise attractive solution option unworkable.
Analyze the Costs
Prices range from free to a few thousand dollars per month for a turnkey solution. When it comes to the cost of a turnkey Web site, "free" is a loosely used term. There are some truly free options, but many "free" hosts charge extra to add functions such as online credit card processing; fees are imposed monthly, per transaction, or both. Take a careful look at which features come free of charge and which don't.
Following are some examples of the types of charges you may see.
Bigstep.com offers a highly rated free solution, with storage space limited to 12 MB. To accept credit cards, you need an online merchant account from Cardservice International. For this you'll pay one of Cardservice International's partner banks $14.95 per month, plus $0.15 per transaction, $0.05 address verification charge per transaction, and a 2.67% discount rate for your merchant account. The partner bank will charge these fees to you directly, and Bigstep.com doesn't profit from these fees.
QCommerce packages start at $39.95 per month plus merchant account fees. It offers a choice between two merchant account providers, Cyber Cash or GoReal Time. Their fees are comparable: $250 to set up your account, a monthly fee between $40 and $70, and a transaction fee of $.10 to $.20 each.
Yahoo! Store charges $100 per month for a small store with as many as 50 items for sale, and $300 per month for a large store with up to 1,000 items. All stores are featured in Yahoo! Shopping.
Find out what other features cost. Chat rooms and other community building tools, newsletter e-mailing services, affiliate programs, banner ad exchanges, and banner ad serving are features that may be available through a turnkey provider. Again, what is included in your package and what constitutes an additional fee varies widely, so ask about specific features you're interested in adding to your site.
Determine what other costs may be associated.
- Hardware costs: Most turnkey solutions don't require you to have any special hardware beyond a computer system that allows you to connect to the Internet.
- Software costs: You will want to use a newer browser to view your pages while you are building your site (or entering your content into the turnkey-provided templates), and you may need new or additional database or spreadsheet software if you plan to upload product information to or download inventory management records from a turnkey provider. Ask prospective turnkey providers about software compatibility.
- Content costs: Web hosting and design costs are covered in fees paid to a turnkey provider, but the content is your responsibility. You'll need high-quality GIFs or JPEGs as graphics and product descriptions to build your catalog. (These items may be readily available from your product's manufacturer.) However, you probably need to figure in the costs of creating content for your site, such as the time to write your own content, the cost of obtaining digital images of your products, or for hiring a graphic designer and writer.
Decide whether your site will feature banner ads. You may want to use banner ads as a way of offsetting your costs. Some turnkey solutions accommodate banner advertising on your Web pages if you wish to include them. freemerchant.com not only allows banner ads on pages but will also put them on your site, if you like, and pay you when people click on them.

Jeter Goes 0-4 on Return as Yankees Lose to Indians
Derek Jeter went 0-4 for the 11th time this season in his return from a three-week injury layoff as the New York Yankees lost 6-3 to the Cleveland Indians.
Jeter reentered the lineup at Progressive Field in Cleveland last night for the first in a three-game series against the Indians, the same team he strained his right calf against after getting his 2,994th hit on June 13. New York went 14-4 during his absence.
The 37-year-old Yankees captain, who was voted to the American League All-Star team for the 12th time two days ago, is seeking to become the 28th player in Major League Baseball history with 3,000 hits and the first to reach the milestone in a Yankees uniform.
"I was nervous at the beginning," Jeter told reporters. "Three weeks is definitely a long time to be out. I felt better as the game went on."
New York dropped to 50-33 and the Indians improved to 45-38 with their fifth win in their past 18 meetings in Cleveland with the Yankees. Cleveland is first in the American League Central division, one game ahead of the Detroit Tigers, while New York leads the Boston Red Sox by 1 1/2 games atop the AL East.
Jeter, who was hitting a career-low .260 over 262 at-bats this season when he injured his calf, batted first last night after completing a two-game rehabilitation with New York's minor-league affiliate in Trenton, New Jersey.
He reached first base in the opening inning on an error by third baseman Lonnie Chisenhall and advanced to second when Indians pitcher Josh Tomlin walked Curtis Granderson.
Two innings later Jeter sent a fly ball to center field and he grounded out in the sixth with the game still scoreless.
Six-Run Inning
A Nick Swisher double scored Mark Teixeira and Robinson Cano in the seventh. Cleveland made it 2-1 in the bottom of the inning on a two-out single by Shelley Duncan that scored Grady Sizemore. The Indians then went 4-2 ahead when Austin Kearns followed with a three-run homer, his first since Aug. 22, when he was with the Yankees.
Jeter lined out in his final at-bat in the eighth before Granderson hit his 23rd home run of the season to make it 4-3.
The Indians closed out the scoring in the bottom of the eighth on a two-run homer by Carlos Santana, his 13th of the season. The teams meet again today and tomorrow.
If he fails to reach 3,000 hits in Cleveland, Jeter will have a chance to get to the mark at Yankee Stadium in four games against the Tampa Bay Rays beginning July 7, New York's last series before the All-Star break.
A.J. Burnett gave up four runs, all earned, in seven innings to drop to 8-7. Tomlin improved to 10-4 after surrendering two earned runs in seven innings.

This face wash is incredibly calming. You feel like you're at the Spa everytime you use it! I love that you can wash your eyelids with this, its even helped cure a recent stye I had. So gentle and calming...which typically when you hear, you tend to think about something like Cetaphil-but this is nothing like that. I've used this through breakouts and fantastic skin, and it always cleans and calms my skin down, leaving me with invigorated skin! I sincerely look forward to washing my face with this because it makes me so happy!
Unfortunately, it is incredibly difficult to find in Europe and because of shipping restrictions, this product is exempt from many shipping programs from Sephora, etc. I became so desperate with my last bottle I ended up cutting it open with scissors!:O Can't wait to be stateside again where I will get a large bottle- which tend to last me almost a year at a time! Well, well worth the cost.

I got this as a sample months ago and I'm impressed how long this little tube has lasted. Removes my make up, and doesn't dry out my skin. I'm sensitive to a lot of ingredients and haven't had any problems with this. I have definitely noticed a difference in how irritated my skin was before using this cleanser and now. so gentle but does the job.

Love this cleanser. I've been using it for years and it's effective on makeup and gentle on the eyes. I use it with my clairsonic so it lasts me a long time. Which is why the price is not an issue. Love the light scent as well.

I used this product because I got the free deluxe sample. I tried it and I loved it. It doesn't dried out my skin, doesn't have any breakout, gentle, also my skin condition improved a lot. It has a mild scent but really doesn't bother me. Thinking about repurchased but it's kinda pricey.

Pretty good basic cleanser but it dried my skin out. I finished my bottle but I won't repurchase.

This is one of the few cleansers I've found that is gentle enough to not dry my skin out in the winter. And as a bonus, it removes my makeup, even my eye makeup, as well.

I use this with my clarisonic after I remove my makeup. It foams with my clarisonic although not crazily a lot. I like it cos it doesnt dry out my skin and my skin condition improved. Really like this product a lot!

I used to love this to take off makeup, even eye makeup, in the shower. The consistency of the cleanser is only OK, and, though it didn't at first, it hurts my eyes if I try to use this to remove eye makeup. I will finish the tube that I have, but probably not repurchase.

I received a deluxe sample of this long ago from sephora. It removed my makeup nicely, had a mild scent and didn't irritate my skin. It was good until the looked up the price. IMO the product was just average for the price point. So I never purchased.

I'm an oil and cetaphil girl myself, but take a small tube of this when traveling to save space and because it does a great job of removing make up and cleansing in one step. It doesn't foam up but instead is soft and emollient. My favourite part is the texture, which I'm inclined to describe as mucousy even though it doesn't sound appealing at all! It's viscous, smooth and runny all at the same time so spreads easily, feeling very luxurious to massage in for a minute. It does takes a few rinses to remove completely but not so stubborn that it needs a wash cloth. Leaves my skin feeling clean but not tight. It's gentle and effective.

An Introduction to the Internet and Computer-Mediated Communication
This chapter addresses how the Internet and computer-mediated communication have affected and will continue to affect our lives. Dimensions of media and their attributes are discussed and a model about social complexity and the degree or level of interdependence as it pertains to cyberspace and other media is presented. Additionally, issues of virtual reality are discussed. Finally, how these developments may lead to a new virtual institution is outlined and a model is presented. The chapter is a primer for the uninitiated and is essential for most readers, because everything that follows presumes this knowledge (cf. appendix A).
This book is an attempt to depict some of the development and status the Internet has gone through. Issues, past and future developments, forecasts and ideas are presented and discussed. The book's primary focus is on information technology and end-user computing, global networks and, in particular, computer-mediated communication (CMC). The Internet is not one place or one company. It is a descriptive term for a web of thousands of interconnected broad- and narrow-band telephone, satellite, and wireless networks built on existing and planned communication technology. This infrastructure is a network of networks, reaching out and connecting separate islands of computer, telephone, and cable resources into a seamless web. It connects businesses, governments, institutions, and individuals to a wide range of information-based services, ranging from entertainment (e.g., pay-per-view movies, online music videos), education, and culture to data banks,

How do we prepare the next generation of geoscientists in this technology-driven world? We need to attract them in the first place.
Suki Smaglik, Central Wyoming College
First of all, we need to have geoscience students in our classrooms in order to start to prepare them. Therefore, we need to start young. Kids love rocks; some collect rocks from the time they can crawl. The question we might ask is: Why does this interest stop rather than expand? Only a few of us who discovered our connection to Earth at a young age become geologists. We need to make it known that being a geoscientist is a good career. Geoscientists with an emphasis on environmental issues will always be employable, from field technicians to industry consultants. We have spent nearly two centuries despoiling North American resources. Problems related to resource extraction will take at least another century to set right. It is geoscientists who will be leading the way.

A photo of Capt. Matthew J. Porcari.
- Filed Under
Investigators have yet to release details about the circumstances leading up to two firefighters entering a burning house late Monday night, just moments before the floor collapsed and claimed the life of Owego fire Capt. Matthew Porcari.
Pat Hogan, senior investigator for the Tioga County Sheriff's Office, is overseeing the investigation into the blaze at 871 Chamberlain Road in Newark Valley that drew emergency responders from several area communities.
Hogan noted that reviews of everything from the emergency response to the cause of death are being prepared by his office, along with the county's fire bureau and coroner's office.
Although the fire bureau's senior investigator, Frank Okrasinski, on Wednesday announced his ruling that the fire was accidental and caused by electrical wiring in a storage shed, Hogan said the sheriff's office makes the final determination in fires that result in a death.
"I'm going to be going over that and determining that their reasons for the fire and the cause and origin are accurate, and we will come to that conclusion together," Hogan said.
Okrasinski said Wednesday that windy conditions helped fuel the flames that spread from the wooden shed to the one-story ranch-style home. The homeowners had fled the house before it caught fire and called 911 about 10:45 p.m.
When firefighters began arriving at the scene, the flames had spread to the home. Porcari, 34, fell into the basement after the home's floor collapsed. A fellow firefighter, Lt. Daniel Gavin, 28, fell in partially, but was able to pull himself out. Gavin and firefighters from several departments then worked to pull Porcari out, Okrasinski said.
It remains unclear how many firefighters had entered the home Monday night to battle the fire prior to Porcari and Gavin.
Hogan would not discuss details of the investigation, saying the process involves interviewing those at the scene and reviewing emergency response records along with other related details.
Meanwhile, the community rocked by the death of Porcari, a volunteer firefighter since he was accepted as an apprentice fighter at age 16 into Croton Hose Company No. 3 of Talcott Street. Prior to serving the past two years as captain, Porcari was a lieutenant and Owego firefighter for 19 years.
Porcari was a "green tag" volunteer, which meant he successfully completed training and passed a physical to be recognized as the only firefighters permitted to actively attack a fire.
"At the entrance to any fire, tags are collected by personnel prior to a firefighter being permitted to enter the structure. The tag system is used to determine duty elibibility as well as to hold firefighter accountability," according to a news release from the Owego fire department.
Porcari was also a father who "simply adored his kids," according to the news release issued Thursday.
Owego officials continued making preparations Thursday for the hundreds of people expected to attend Porcari's calling hours and funeral services this weekend.
Village of Owego police Chief Karen Vinti said area law enforcement agencies and other public works departments will work with the fire department to control the crowds, who are expected to attend the public gatherings on Saturday and Sunday in Owego Middle School.
"We're all going to do what we can to help," she said.
Okrasinski had already received commitments from fire departments across the country and into Canada, each one planning to send representatives to the services in Owego. He anticipated the crowds for the services could top 1,000 people based on the early estimates.

Instead host Marianne Barisonek speaks with Tom Devine, Legal Director at the Government Accountability Project. Mr. Devine has assisted over 5,000 whistleblowers in defending themselves against retaliation and in making a difference, such as shuttering accident-prone nuclear power plants, checkmating repeated industry ploys to deregulate government meat inspection, and blocking the next generation of the bloated and porous "Star Wars" missile defense systems. He has authored or co-authored numerous books, including "Courage Without Martyrdom" and "The Whistleblower's Survival Guide", law review articles, and newspaper op-eds, and is a frequent expert commentator on television and radio talk shows.

President Obama just signed into law a $1.15 billion settlement with thousands of black farmers who were discriminated against by the United States Department of Agriculture. So we began the show with an update from John Boyd Jr., president of the National Black Farmers Association, who spoke with us in February.
Host Marianne Barisonek interviews David Swanson about his new book War Is A Lie, in which he exposes the reality of why the U.S. is constantly at war. He addresses the web of lies, the taboo subjects, the false claims, and the mythic messages and lays waste to them. Your phone calls are welcome.
Host Sue Supriano interviews Max Rameau about Take Back the Land, which he founded in 2006. The group initiated a bold campaign that sparked a national movement: they began taking over foreclosed and government-owned homes, and moving homeless families into them. They have successfully moved in over 20 families to date, and many have used the opportunity to save up money and get back on their feet.
Max is a Haitian-born Pan-African theorist and organizer. He moved to Miami, Florida in 1991 and began organizing around immigrant rights, especially for Haitian immigrants, criminal justice issues and police brutality.
In 2008, Max authored the book Take Back the Land, recounting the experiences and political theory behind the Umoja Village.
In the first half of Political Perspectives we'll hear Sister Helen Prejean who spoke in Portland on October 21st of this year at the First United Methodist Church in support of Oregonians for Alternatives to the Death Penalty ( www.oadp.org ). She is introduced by Nasseem Raka, author of "The Crying Tree."
Paul Pierson, co-author of Winner-Take-All Politics: How Washington Made the Rich Richer--And Turned Its Back on the Middle Class, was in Portland at the end of November and spoke with host Stephanie Potter.
we at 'guess who's coming to radio??!!' feel it's high time for a little lesson about a word consistently credited by some individuals, but never actually utilized by said people- the constitution. in light of all this wikileaks business (and yes, in light of the manufactured controversy surrounding our teacher michael jackson's album release, as well as his legacy) we find it imperative to discuss the MANUFACTURING OF DECEPTION (and the will of the people to be deceived) in relation to the violations of the basic tenets of the constitution.
do these amendments mean anything anymore, and did they EVER mean anything? join us in the discussion, and call 503 231 8187! we encourage constructive and pro-active dialog!
Tonight on Circle A Radio we will bring you audio from the sixteenth annual anti racist action network conference. This year, the conference was in Portland, Oregon from July 22 to the 25, 2010. We'll focus on the Anti Racist Action History Panel, and the panel on Self-Defense, called Prepared, Not Paranoid: Conflict Resolution & Confrontation Management.
Tonight we speak with Author and Activist William Hathaway about his new book Radical Peace. Hathaway joined the special forces to study and write about war. He has since become an accomplished writer and voice of the strong anti-war movement. His most recent book, Radical Peace, is a collection of personal stories from war resisters that encompasses a full spectrum of resistance, from property destruction and deserting to meditation.

Berlin Wonderland: Wild Years Revisited, 1990-1996Photography // Friday, July 04, 2014

Andrew Pommier "Shoulder to Shoulder" @ Okazi Gallery, BerlinJuxtapoz // Wednesday, July 02, 2014
Maybe you picked up a copy of the July 2014 issue of Juxtapoz and saw a great interview and feature with Vancouver artist, Andrew Pommier. We have enjoyed the man's work for years (he even did a Juxtapoz t-shirt back in the day), and we are happy to coincide our feature in the print mag with Andrew with his new show, "Shoulder to Shoulder," at Okazi Gallery in Berlin that opens on July 3, 2014.

Low Bros "Menace Beach Pt.2" @ OZM Gallery, HamburgJuxtapoz // Wednesday, April 30, 2014
We love the nostalgic vibe of a Low Bros paintings or mural, and chronicled their work in our print edition in October 2013. With "Menace Beach Pt.2" the Low Bros are going back to their hometown of Hamburg, to create an extension of the first Menace Beach show that took place in Berlin last year. Annoyed by the brand heavy skateboard scene that exists today, the Bros are inviting you to celebrate the spirit of true skateboarding and show what skating means to them.

Meaning "the place with writing on flat stones," Dzibilchaltún (dzi-bil-chal-toon) isn't a place you'd travel miles out of your way to see. But since it's not far off the road, about halfway between Progreso and Mérida, it's convenient and, in its own way, interesting. More than 16-square km (6-square miles) of land here is cluttered with mounds, platforms, piles of rubble, plazas, and stelae. Although only a few buildings have been excavated to date, scientists find Dzibilchaltún fascinating because of the sculpture and ceramics from all periods of Mayan civilization that have been unearthed. The area may have been settled as early as 500 BC and was inhabited until the time of the conquest. At its height, there were around 40,000 people living here.
The site's most notable structure is the tiny Templo de las Siete Muñecas ("temple of the seven dolls"). It's a long stroll down a flat dirt track lined with flowering bushes and trees to get to the low, trapezoidal
temple exemplifying the late preclassic style. During the spring and fall equinoxes, sunbeams fall at the exact center of two windows opposite each other inside one of the temple rooms. Studies have found that a similar phenomenon occurs at the full moon between March 20 and April 20.
Another attraction is the ruined open chapel built by the Spaniards for the indigenous people. Actually, to be accurate, the Spanish forced indigenous laborers to build it as a place of worship for themselves: a sort of pre-Hispanic "separate but equal" scenario. One of the best reasons to visit Dzibilchaltún, though, is Xlacah Cenote. The site's sinkhole, with crystalline water the color of smoked green glass, is ideal for a cooling swim after walking around the ruins. Before leaving, visit the small but impressive Museo Pueblo Maya, which contains the seven crude dolls that gave the Temple of the Seven Dolls its name. It also traces the area's Hispanic history, and highlights contemporary crafts from the region.
To reach Dzibilchaltún from Mérida, drive north on Carretera Mérida-Progreso; after 10 km (6 miles), turn right at the sign for the ruins and continue another 3 km (2 miles) until you reach a village. Just after you pass the village, take your first right toward the archaeological site. If you don't have a car, you can come by cab from Mérida (about M$350 one way) or Progreso (about M$1130, including round-trip transport and two hours at the ruins): alternatively, you can catch a colectivo (shared van) from Mérida's Parque San Juan or Progreso's main dock.

Plus, Michelle Goldberg on the shameful message Bristol's payday sends to teens.
The nichiest of genres has become as welcoming as a Wal-Mart, especially for sagging artists in search of a payday.
Rahm Emanuel is catching heat for his payday at Freddie Mac, one of the originators of the meltdown.
"Right now, I just came out of a hearing on payday lending," Warren told me.
All told, payday customers collectively spend more than $7 billion a year in fees.
A payday now and then didn't make up for the tedium of labor.
An' yez know what payday means in a new town wid a show on the spot.
payday came June 4th and we got our first "whack" at Uncle Sam's good money.
They don't load you down on payday in any of them places; but that didn't worry me.
Or to put it the other way around, for the company always took theirs first, Clate had nothing left in his pay envelope on payday.

Hi! I am a hardworking, yet fun loving single mom and even though my heart is in the classroom, I am just teaching part-time so I can be at home with my preschooler most of the time.
We love to go on walks, visit the park, and travel. I stay busy and am constantly progressing toward being a better person. While I am definitely not perfect, I am looking for someone who will help me strive to be more Christ-like, and for whom I can do the same.
I just started my doctoral degree at Mississippi State University, received my BS and MS from The University of Southern Mississippi and I enjoy spending time with people who can carry on an intellectual conversation, as well as a humorous one.
I plan a lot (mostly necessary with my many irons currently in the fire), but also because I enjoy an orderly life. I like organizing and find comfort in knowing where things are... I like spontaneity in vacations and traveling because the unplanned trips are by far the best!
I like the idea of being sustainable (did cloth diapers for two years), can't stand leaving the world anything but better off for living here. I garden, recycle, and used to drive a Prius :)
I'm a pretty busy person, but find time to do things I'm passionate about. I volunteer at my son's preschool, serve as a Primary teacher in the church and somehow find time to take PhD classes full time and work four jobs! Welcome to my world!

text: Hi another annoying question from me. I found this walkthrough on how to make potassium chlorate while reading through some things. Think this way will work? It seems like it should work when you think about it, but thats not really what im asking for. How long do you think it will take to do this? Or how would you know its done? Theres also the crystalization method using bleach and potassium chloride. But I wasnt sure on it too much. Incase you dont know what it is ill post at the bottom. It seems that method using electrolsys should work. Is the way using bleach better, or worse? Does anyone have any other suggestions? Im curious to know just to experiment with. And: And sorry for all the questions :p Im just curious.

Gene Simmons: Terry Gross Is 'Arrogant And Insulting'
KISS frontman Gene Simmons is no stranger to outlandish statements. He is a showman, something he made apparent Monday on HuffPost Live, when Simmons stopped by to talk about the band's upcoming tour and new reality show, "4th and Loud."
Minutes after voicing how immigrants should "learn to speak goddamn English," Simmons talked about his contentious interview with soft-spoken NPR host Terry Gross in 2002.
"I don't think she was sweet. I think she was practicing holier-than-thou. I found her arrogant and insulting," Simmons told host Ricky Camilleri. "I told her she should get out, see the real world and not count the dust particles settling on her apartment where she was doing [the interview]."

CIA superagent Mitch Rapp is back in action in this high-velocity adventure from the master of the political thriller, Vince Flynn.
CIA director Thomas Stansfield is dead -- a fact many individuals in and around the nation's capital are pleased to hear. But their happiness proves to be short-lived once they learn that Stansfield's successor is the late director's close friend and protégé, Dr. Irene Kennedy. Her plan of action is to pursue the very goals Stansfield established -- something Stansfield's fiercest enemies don't want to hear. And something they refuse to accept.
Meanwhile, Israel has discovered that Saddam Hussein is close to entering the nuclear arms race -- and they've vowed to stop the Iraqi madman before he can get his hands on the ultimate weapon. With the Middle East teetering on the precipice of chaos and devastation, the president of the United States is forced to act. The commander in chief's secret weapon? None other than the CIA's top counterterrorism operative, Mitch Rapp. But the window for action on this crucial mission is incredibly tight. Israel has given the United States only two weeks to take the nukes out. After that, they'll do whatever it takes to destroy the weapons themselves. With the haunting specter of World War III looming, Rapp races against time and impossible odds -- navigating the deadly alleys of Baghdad, tearing through the corruption-riddled streets of Washington, D.C., and taking drastic measures against anyone who gets in his way.
With action that sizzles and true-to-life insider detail, Separation Of Power showcases New York Times bestselling author Vince Flynn at his shell-shocking best.
