Cisco Systems, Inc. is the worldwide leader in networking for the
Internet. Cisco's product portfolio offers a broad range of end-to-end
networking solutions including Routing, Switching, Access, System
Network Architecture/Local-area Networks (SNA/LAN), Internet Services,
Cisco Internetwork Operating System (IOS) Software, and Network
Management. Fort Hays State University, through its Department of
Information Networking and Telecommunications, offers the online
preparatory curriculum to prepare professionals to sit for the highly
sought-after Cisco Certified Network Associate Certification (CCNA)
The Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) preparation curriculum is offered in a three-course sequence with two options.
Standard Option:
Military Option:
The primary difference between the standard and the military
offering is that the military offering is designed to be somewhat more
lab intensive and includes an additional project in each course. Both
series are designed to teach students internetworking skills and to
prepare students with the knowledge necessary to pass the CCNA
In each series, delivery is Internet based with text, graphics,
illustrations, and streaming audio and video. Students are provided
toll-free telephone, email, and chat room assistance from faculty and
tutors who have passed the CCNA. Students have the opportunity to
practice router configuration on Cisco routers using the Department of
Information Networking and Telecommunication's Virtual Lab.
Both options apply toward the Bachelors of Science in Information
Networking and Telecommunications with a Concentration in Computer
Networking and Telecommunications or the General Studies in Information
Networking and Telecommunications, the Bachelors of General Studies in
Information Networking and Telecommunications, or the 12-hour
Internetworking Certificate.
FHSU Certificate in InternetworkingStudents who enhance their studies by taking targeted course work in
Network Architecture and Data Communications increase their probability

Ok, so the changing of the game code DOES NOT work. Here is what DOES work:
-Make sure you have both games on both devices.
-You don't need to have any saves on the game that you haven't been playing
-When you first try to link your games, it might ask where the other person's game is (i.e. Sapphire.gba or something like that), all you need to do is navigate to where you placed that second game, and then you'll be able to connect.
It worked perfectly for me. I was able to trade and battle with my girlfriend when I had Ruby and she had Sapphire.
Hope this helps someone else with the same question.

Brings Back Memories And Very Enjoyableimarson | July 2, 2013 | Review of LEGO Complete Pack - PC
As for me, I grew up as a huge fan of Batman and dressed up as for halloween numerous time so just being able to collect all the characters and fight Batman's foes at a Lego level was amazing! I also watched and read the entire Harry Potter Series so being able to connect with everything that happened in the game in such a fun way was great! Now for my favorite, Lord of the Rings was so well put together and because I have been a fan for so long it was worth while. I, as for any gamer should be allowed to sit down and have some fun with legos. I remember playing the first Lego Stars Episodes 1-3 When I was 8 years old. I love the Lego Series and if you like to collect characters, feel a sense of accomplishment in such easy ways, or are just a fan of any of the following series, or heroes this is the bundle for you. Thank you for reading.

I like the way that a lot of the descriptions are based upon following the flow of data through the protocol stack. There are some good examples of what happens to the speech and data service bits as they are passed between layers. I like the tables which illustrate how the number of bits change during each phase of physical layer processing. This is shown for DCH as well as HSDPA and HSUPA connections. Some parts of the radio network planning sections are similar to those found in other books but there are sections which do not appear elsewhere, e.g. analysis of maximum neighbour list lengths. Link budgets are also presented and described in depth...."

A Brief History of Clermont
The fan-lighted doorway of Clermont affords one of the Hudson Valley's most spectacular views, stretching across the Hudson River to the Catskill Mountains. The history of the house itself is equally remarkable.
Clermont was built between 1740 and 1750, by Robert Livingston, Jr., on land acquired in 1686 by his father, just a dozen years after New Netherland finally became British New York. A royal patent secured by Robert Livingston, Sr. granted him the privileges of a manor lord and 160,000 acres, stretching all the way from the Hudson River's east bank to the border of present day Massachusetts.
In October 1777, the Revolutionary War arrived on Clermont's doorstep via a British armada sailing upriver from New York City to provide support for General John Burgoyne's army, whose march from Canada was foundering north of Albany. That same force had already stormed two forts in the Hudson Highlands and burned Kingston, the first capital of the new New York State. The next target was the riverfront seat of the rebel Livingstons.
Learning of the imminent danger, Margaret Beekman Livingston — the wealthy (in her own right) wife of Clermont's owner — took action, after refusing the offer of protection from a wounded British soldier recuperating at Clermont. (She steadily declined aid from an enemy of her country.)
The British courtiously gave her time to vacate, which she did, with most of her prized possessions, before burning the house to the foundations. But she returned, and, calling in favors from the governor who she helped to elect, succeeded in rebuilding her grand house — in the middle of the Revolutionary War!
Margaret's son, Robert, known as The Chancellor because of a state judicial position he held, is perhaps the most famous Livingston. He administered the oath of office to President George Washington, co-invented the steamboat with Robert Fulton, established the rights of a monopoly that lasted for decades and continued the line of Livingstons which lasted until Honoria (Livingston) McVitty gave the last of the Clermont lands to the state at her death in 2000.
Today the Clemont historic site encompasses 500 acres, down from the 13,000 two centuries ago. In the 1840s Andrew Jackson Dowing observed that Clermont was "the showplace of the last age," noting that in the layout and practical uses of the grounds it as very much an eighteenth-century property — something succeeding generations showed little interest in changing.
In 1889 Charles Eliot, pioneering conservationist, wrote that although Clermont's owners were often compelled to be away on business or public duties, "they always returned to Clermont as their one permanent home — so strong was their old English liking for country life and country leisure."
Today, Clermont and its magnificent grounds are redolent with the marvelous history of the place, now available for all visitors to share.
This is a much-shortened excerpt from the new book "Clermont," by Bruce Naramore and Reed Sparling, available through the Friends of Clermont, firstname.lastname@example.com.

In her debut picture book, Javaherbin crisply relays a simple story that should strike a chord with a wide range of readers. In a barren South African village, Ajani calls for his friends to come out to play soccer. The boy carries the pristine federation-size ball (which he won for being the best reader in class) in a dented pail he'll later use to fetch water. Ford's (Barack) dramatically lit oil paintings convey Ajani's excitement and pride about his new acquisition ("We are real champions, playing with a real ball"). He and his friends are also wary of bullies who roam the streets, and one boy stands guard on a rooftop. When the mean boys arrive, Ajani surreptitiously kicks the soccer ball into the overturned bucket and the oblivious bullies instead steal an old plastic ball nearby, barking, "No playing soccer here or you'll be sorry." While the level of danger--and deprivation--these boys face may be unfamiliar to many American readers, the quick-moving soccer action, tension, and triumph over the common threat of bullies have near-universal appeal. Ages 6-10. (Apr.)[Page 52]. Copyright 2010 Reed Business Information.
Gr 2-4--Six boys in a small South African town thwart a group of bullies who threaten to stop their soccer game by stealing their prize possession, a federation-size ball. The camaraderie of these youngsters is evident as they play soccer after chores and homework are done in order to find some relief from daily hardships. The bullies arrive suddenly on bikes, even though the boys had planned ahead and posted a lookout atop a nearby building. The author uses repetitive phrasing, "Left is clear. Right is clear," to indicate that the youth are always aware that the streets are not safe. Illustrations rendered in oil are impressive. Large and colorful action shots, many full spread, keep the story moving at a quick pace. Expressive facial features emphasize the tension felt when the hoodlums interrupt the soccer fun. Choose this book with an international bent to supplement other books on bullying, because it will open up another opportunity for conversation and discussion.--Blair Christolon, Prince William Public Library System, Manassas, VA[Page 88].

Autonegotiation, was RE: Deferred packets on Full Duplex link [7:96353] posted 01/24/2005
Let me restate my position, an opinion based on a LOT of study into this topic over the past several years. We'll call it Neiby's Law. :) And whoever violates the law gets beaten with a bamboo rod. LOL Neiby's Law: Unless you have a very specific technical reason for doing so--and that usually entails a faulty NIC, bad NIC drivers, buggy software, etc.--you should *always* set both ends of a link to autonegotiation as it is the only connection method specified in the standard. Any other method, such as manually configuring speed and duplex, is not specified and the behavior is subject to the whims of the NIC or switch manufacturer. With modern Fast Ethernet equipment, autonegotiation is statistically the most reliable configuration. The second most reliable is manually setting both sides to 100/Half. Just to be perfectly clear, manually configuring both sides to 100/Full is statistically the worst possible choice as it has the highest likelihood of causing duplex mismatches. Historically, autonegotiation was fraught with peril. Faulty NICs, bad drivers, and the common misconception that only one side should be set to auto caused all sorts problems. Most network engineers decided that autonegotiation was evil, and rightly so. I was one of those people. However, things have changed. Anyone caught manually configuring their ports to 100/Full simply because they still believe that auto is evil will be flogged. ;-) Of course, when it comes down to it you should just do whatever works for you in your environment.

KFC's Double Down sandwich caused quite a stir when it debuted earlier this month.
Some loved the cheese, bacon and sauce sandwiched between two fried chicken fillets.
Some hated it.
Many more, it seemed, weren't sure what to think.
And then there's Elizabeth Edelman, co-founder and resident culinary expert at Diabetes Daily, a website with diabetes-related news and recipes.
Edelman, according to a Los Angeles Times story, came up with a recipe that mimics the DD's overall idea, but substitutes more healthful ingredients for the not-so-healthful ones.
As in, hold the bacon. Bring on the arugula.

Company of Heroes 2 Walkthrough
Table of Contents
Mission 8: Panser Hunting
- Move your troops up the road behind the tanks to activate a cut scene, then have them retreat behind the trees to the left and push the Allied T-34 south to destroy the enemy tank on the right.
- Continue moving the soldiers south to take cover behind the cabin below on the right and wait for the next objective arrow to appear, then split your troops between the two territories on either side of the road and capture them to start preparing for the next battle.
- After your army has been replenished and the enemy Tiger has arrived in the village, use anti-tank rifles and grenade to converge on the hostiles vehicle from both sides as a means of forcing it into retreat.
- Keep your troops at a reasonably safe distance as they continue firing on the Tiger and pursuing it up the road to the north, then replenish and upgrade as many soldiers as you can to send a large wave towards the objective arrows that appear above.
- Position the anti-tank squads and sniper scouts at front of your army as it proceeds north, then pass in front of the next two buildings above on the left to commander an anti-tank gun and change directions by now sending troops west across the abandoned airfield.
- Capture the next territory ahead and search the surrounding area for additional supplies, then proceed west to encounter the Tiger again and keep your anti-tank gun at a safe distance so that it can fire on the enemy vehicle repeatedly without being destroyed.
- Move your troops as one large unit towards the Tiger to batter it with grenades and anti-tank fire for a second time, then continue advancing on the enemy vehicle until it becomes stuck in the snow and launch one last attack in unison to destroy it.
- Following the next cut scene, send a unit to re-crew the Tiger that's been disabled and split the rest of your troops between the territory you've captured and the north end of the airfield.
- Once a base has been established south of the village, move a half-track up to the Tiger's position for further protection and have a group of engineers get to work on repairing the damaged enemy tank.
- Upgrade, heal and reinforce whatever resources you have available, then turn the anti-tank gun to the north and wait for the first enemy vehicle arrival to watch its quick destruction.
- Plant mines on the roads at the north end of the airfield and in a line above the Tiger's current position, then ignore the enemy vehicles that invade the village to the south and commandeer the mounted MG42 to fend off the next attack as your engineers finish their repair work.
- Move the half-track in a circular pattern around the airfield to open fire on all invading enemy troops and send the rest of your army east along with the repaired Tiger, then turn down the road to the south as a means of maintaining a level of control on the journey to come and keep the army together as one massive wave to increase the damage caused by their consistent gunfire.
- Position the Tiger at the back of your marching army and send a few troops up further ahead to reveal any hostiles laying in wait, then stop the troops each time you encounter one so that the vehicles and anti-tank guns can fire on the enemies from a safe-distance.
- Proceed down the road to the south and destroy the tanks waiting below as one massive unit, then split your army at the next fork to clear out the structures on the left or at least distract the troops inside and continue pushing the Tiger forward to slip past enemy lines.
- Keep the Tiger moving south through the last line of enemy defenses at the lower end of the village and send into the ally territory below to complete this mission.

Through out the years of my Internet Surfing and looking at raw food recipes, I have seen some confusion about the difference between Coconut Oil and Coconut Butter. So I thought I would write a little explanation about each and put the confusion to rest.
What is the difference between coconut oil and coconut butter?
Coconut oil is JUST the oil that is extracted from the meat.
Coconut butter is the whole meat of the coconut pureed into a creamy butter.
Coconut meat (by nature) is approximately 65% oil.
Before I go any further I want to share about the Artisana brand of what they call Coconut Butter. I took a snippet from the Artisana site that describes their product, which is indeed different in consistency than the oil. Shoot, right now I have a jar of it in front of me on the coffee table and a spoon, and I have been nibbling away all morning. I can't do that with coconut oil because, to me, it is just too oily.
It is a whole-food product, meaning it is 100% coconut with very little processing. The difference between this and coconut oil is that coconut oil is put through a cold expresser process to get the oil out. Both are fresh-harvest coconuts that are dried, but the Manna is ground into a very fine powder right after drying. Then, they add some of their coconut oil. Manna is lower in calories than coconut oil. Nutiva Organic Coconut Manna contains 12% fiber and 9% protein, whereas coconut oil contains none.
You need to soften the product and mix thoroughly to truly appreciate the full spectrum of this amazing product. It must be softened by achieving a temperature above 76 degrees and then mixed thoroughly. If you live in a warm climate, you won't have to worry about softening. To soften:
The answer is not a straight yes or no. In the mainstream of things, the two are considered the same, but in the raw world having such manufacturers such as Artisana who makes a different product than coconut oil which they call coconut butter. So, for those who are not aware or don't have access to this product line, it is my belief that many people are referring to the same ingredient when they say coconut butter or coconut cream. Following me here?
The Artisanan Coconut Butter has a different flavor and texture than the coconut oils that most recipe makers are using. As a safe rule of thumb, if you are reading a recipe and they use either coconut oil or coconut butter as the ingredient terminology, I would safely assume that they are indeed using coconut oil. If you are really perplexed and want to know for sure, email or contact that recipe designer and ask them to clarify. I have used the Artisana brand of coconut butter in place of coconut oil due to what I had on hand at the time, and the recipe still came out great in the end.
Coconut oil contains absolutely no trans fats. Although many people mistakenly believe coconut oil is dangerous to health due to its saturated fat content, close to two-thirds of its saturated fat is made up of medium-chain fatty acids, which are actually health promoting and they are antimicrobial, easily digested for quick energy, and beneficial to the immune system.
The popular misconceptions about coconut oil can be traced to some decades-old flawed studies, some of which used hydrogenated (chemically altered, unnatural) coconut oils, and to misleading advertising campaigns generated by the edible oil industry. The industry instead promoted polyunsaturated fats (such as canola, soybean, safflower. and corn), which easily go rancid when exposed to oxygen and produce harmful free radicals in our bodies. Coconut oil was falsely accused of leading to coronary heart disease, a myth that has been refuted by a large body of research showing that consumption of natural coconut oil is beneficial to health, including cardiovascular health.
Traditional wisdom also supports the regular use of coconut oil. It has been used as a traditional food by the Polynesians since ancient times, and they have among the lowest rates of heart disease in the world.
Some of the health benefits of consuming coconut oil include:
Lauric acid, known for its antiviral, antibacterial, and antiprotozoal functions, makes up about 50% of the fatty acid in coconut fat. In the body, it is converted to monolaurin, a powerful monoglyceride that destroys lipid-coated viruses (such as HIV, herpes, cytomegalovirus, and influenza) as well as pathogenic bacteria including helicobacter pylori and listeria monocytogenes.
Coconut oil can vary widely in both quality and effectiveness. Most commercial coconut oils are refined, bleached, and deodorized, and many are made from "copra," or dried coconut meat. Some are even hydrogenated. Others that are called "cold-pressed" still are fermented or heated to remove water, and in the process they lose the natural vitamin E and tocopherols needed for stability and protection against rancidity.
So look for coconut oil that is a virgin, cold-pressed, vitamin E rich, "biologically pure" one that is identical to unextracted oil from coconuts. To make virgin coconut oil, fresh coconut meat is grated and expeller-pressed to produce coconut milk, which is then centrifuged to separate it into solid components, oil, and water with no heating, refining, bleaching, or deodorizing.
this article helped me. i thought that coconut butter and coconut oil were one in the same because i have read that. today i tried to make raw frozen chocolate covered bananas. i used coconut butter. there was some oil on the top of the jar so i used that too. when i mixed in all of the ingredients it wasnt liquidy enough. i did the best i could and rolled them in chopped raw almonds so they actually came out tasting and looking fine but it was hard to work with. next time, i use the OIL. thanks
Hi, this article helped alot… thanks for your research. I have a recipe calling for coconut oil, but have the Artisana coconut butter in my pantry, so I will try this recipe w/the butter instead of the oil, and see what happens… thanks much.
I make lotions and usually use the raw oil in my lotion.. Would the butter work instead? I bought some by accident and have had success when make eggs for my son but not sure how it would work for my lotion. I'm leaning toward the thought it could be better, but would like your opinion.
What is the difference between creamed coconut and coconut butter? I put creamed coconut in my rice but want to make a dessert that asks for coconut butter. The creamed coconut is a lot cheaper.
Thank you so much for this info. I have a recipe that calls for both coconut oil & butter, but I could only find oil at the store. I figured there had to be a difference since it called for both. Where is the best place to buy coconut butter?
I work at Marshalls & I got an 8 oz jar of Coconut butter for just $6. I know not all Marshall's have the same products, but it doesn't hurt to try. =D
Hey! I was trying to make a raw icecream recipe, but i can't eat coconut meat right now. ( can have the oil however )
Anyways, I am wondering if i could use hazel nuts and brazil nuts as a "nut butter" base for an icecream without the coconut meat involved. could you somehow sub in the oil in a certain ratio for coconut meat?
Hi, I see that the Nutiva Manna is made from dried coconut, but when you are talking about how regular coconut oil is made you mention "copra" and act like its a bad thing. So does this mean I should not get the Nutiva stuff because its made from copra?
Why would one have to mix up the butter or manna before eating?
Do you know if coconut oil or butter contain phytic acid?
Are all of the vitamins and minerals contained in the coconut oil, or are some in the meat that are lost when it is separated into the oil?
Dear Amie-Sue,
Thank you for having such an informative website! I am new to the raw world (vegan for 2 years now) and I only have a million questions that your site is providing many answers to.
Regarding the choosing of coconut oil – I have always used Dr. Bronner's whole kernel vco, but after reading this article I went to their website
And while it says that their oil is cold pressed, it's from "carefully dried coconuts."
Is this copra? I intend to contact them to verify if it is indeed raw, but I'd like your opinion.
Thanks again :)
I purchased some shredded dried organic coconut and put it in my Vita Mix and turned it into coconut butter and it's delicious!!!
Thanks for the great info, I'm a nutritionist looking for an easier way to explain to clients the difference between the two. This greatly helped! :)
Would also like to add that I get great quality coconut oils AND butter from my local health food store….The Natural Food Depot at 2075 Lawrence Ave E (Warden and Lawrence).
since coconut butter is the whole meat of the coconut, does it have more health benefits ( lauric acid/ medium chain tryglicerides) than coconut oil? i noticed that the butter has more calories and more carbs, etc
Thank you for this post! I was wondering this very thing today!
If I were to substitute the manna instead of coconut flakes in a recipe, do you know what is the conversion? Love coconut, don't like the texture of flakes, and would rather use manna to get the flavor. Thanks
Can I use the coconut butter on my skin after my bath or shower?
Hi. Do you have any scientific sources that are saying coconut oil are healthy?
My Finance and I are starting a Gluten-Free, preservative free and lots of raw food diet! We are learning everyday. This is both a challenge and fun for us. We both enjoy eating popcorn, we make it ourselves on the stove. The typical ingredients used are popcorn, salt and coconut oil or (flavored coconut oil) depending on which brand of oil we use. Should I call the company regarding this being free of what we would like out diet to be free of or am I safe to assume that it is? Also, do you eat popped popcorn on a 100% RAW diet? I am still very new at this! Thanks a billion :)
Can you tell me if the butter has the same blood sugar stabilizing, matabolism-raising benefits as coconut oil? i.e. does it have the same benefits you list for coconut oil?
Can anyone recommend a brand that is available in Australia? Of coconut oil and coconut butter. Thank you.
I'm trying to make truffles using coconut oit instead of copha but of course they can't be left out of the fridge and I want them on the table at a friends wedding. Can anyone suggest an organic alternate to this, that will help keep their shape and stop them from melting
I make popcorn with coconut oil. Is the heat hurting the benefits of the oil?
FYI. I tried to make popcorn with coconut butter. It failed, the butter browned out before the corn popped.
Thanks for this site
One of the things I love about coconut oil is that it has NO coconut flavor at all. Even though I love coconut, sometimes I don't want the taste of it in certain foods. I love coconut milk, coconut water, coconut butter, coconut meat, flakes, etc. I am a nut for coconuts.
Someone probably asked this question, so I apologise for a repeat.
Does coconut oil & coconut butter have the same health benefits?
Hi Amie Sue,
I was wondering if you know is there anything I can substitute coconut oil for in sweet desserts etc. I love coconut but the oil seems to always leave an after taste in my mouth which I don't like. What role does it actually play in these recipes, is it to thicken the consistency?
we do not have coconut oil in muritius and i want to know if i can use coconut butter{homemade} for weighloss and diabetes. thanks
Wonderfully informative article Amie Sue.
Recently, in my venture to find ingredients here in Uruguay, coconut oil and butter have been on that list. AND I've also wondered about the differences. This article clears it up.
Although I might attempt to make my own coconut butter, well the oil one sounds a bit complicated to home make. Maybe. lol
I too have run into all kinds of conflicting information on these products' health benefits. A person has to gather as much info as possible, then sift through it with a common sense mind.
We also have to remember that if studies are funded by various companies that are in the food industry, well to be blunt, the results of the studies most likely will be in favor of that company making a profit.
One leading piece of information that you offered, believe it or not just last night I was wondering about, is if the Polynesians have any tendencies towards heart problems. You answered that question and as you pointed out, coconut has been in their diets forever. So, with that in mind, I'd say it's safe to use common sense in that coconut products are not so bad for us as some info portrays. Nothing like history giving the best scientific results, untainted by the drive of profit!
Thanks for pointing me to this article Amie Sue. =)
hi amie-sue, thank you for your wonderful website. i check it daily since i stumbled across it.
i can't seem to find coconut butter anywhere, but stumbled across this article on how to make your own
would this kind of butter work in your recipes, because i've been put off attempting some of them just because of the absence of coconut butter. thanks again.
Thanks for this great article. I was wondering what exactly was the difference between coconut oil and coconut butter, and this has given me a great a idea for a recipe I'm trying to modify into a healthier version. Thanks again.
why does my coconut oil taste like perfume. i have several different ones and when i use them for raw dehydrated things they come out perfumey. i have had other people taste the perfumyness too so i know its not me. can't seem to find the answer on the internet.
Please could you help me. I wanted to make coconut butter but have made coconut cream by mistake. But on researching the correct way to make butter I noticed some people say coconut cream is the same as butter !? As I have never had any of these products I have not got a clue ! Is there a difference ?
Many thanks
Well thats nice ! I ask a simple question is coconut cream the same as coconut butter and not only is it removed but I dont even get an email reply !!! HOW RUDE !!!!
No the misunderstanding comes from you press post comment and see what you have written as if it is posted but then if you come back it is gone. I dont know why it works like that but sorry for misunderstanding.
Yes I was trying to find a way to make butter from fresh coconut and made cream instead. I have seen a way that you grate the coconut then dry it in an oven but dont really want to go down that road. Oh well thanks anyway. Sorry again.
Yes brown coconuts never seen green ones ! Thats a shame the time and energy spent trying to dry the coconut shreds you might as well buy shredded coconut :o(
Good morning,
Can I use coconut butter for oil pulling? I bought the wrong bottle. Also do you find benefit in oil pulling? Thanks so much.
I love coconut butter and like you, I eat them with the spoon. But recently, I was told to take coconut oil as antifungal. So, I wonder if I can use coconut butter or I should stick with coconut oil. Would coconut butter also work as an antifungal?
Is coconut butter considered dairy? Thsnks!
I've been baking a lot lately with coconut flour and oil. Now that I came across a couple recipes for coconut butter, have you heard of anyone mixing about 2/3 oil and 1/3 flour to get coconut butter? I don't want to store one more ingredient if I don't have to.
~thank you for all your great info for coconut oil vs coconut butter~ recently i have been adding a good tablesoon of coconut oil to my coffee. i heat my milk(any variety) pour into 16oz thermos containing the coconut oil then brew my coffee into this. i do vigorously shake to keep oil separated. i did read one blog that recommended emulsifying the oil into the coffee but i dont have time for that! i do keep my coconut oil in the fridge otherwise its a bit messy. the brand i found was in natural section at kroger grocery store. it is called Nature's Way organic, cold pressed unrefined coconut oil~ i seem to have more energy, a better overall mood and i have used this on my skin where it readily absorbs~ gk
I've always been a fan of coconut oil and butter. I've just about every brand out there. I started making my own raw coconut cream using fresh coconuts. NOTHING in a jar comes close to the freshness, taste, and energy I get from consuming it this way.

A Trent Woods man who won a new car from a local dealership isn't keeping his good luck for himself.
Bill Vogelsang and his son decided to cash in the car Bill won at Hyundai of New Bern and donate the proceeds to the Wounded Warrior Project.
Vogelsang, who is 89, was a Marine Corporal in World War II and was awarded two purple hearts after being wounded at Iwo Jima in February 1945.
The donation to the Wounded Warrior Project is $17,000.
The DownEast Chapter 639 Military Order of the Purple Heart accepted the donation for the Wounded Warrior Program.
All of the proceeds will go to support "Wounded Warrior Home for Holidays Program." The program pays expenses for Marines and Navy Corpsmen wounded in combat and recuperating at Marine Wounded Warrior barracks at Camp Lejuene Marine Corps Base in Jacksonville to travel home during Christmas holidays.

Visit the Beautiful San Juan Islands National Wildlife Refuge and Wilderness Area
Monday, November 8, 2010
Spend your evenings in a luxurious beach side room at a comfortable Inn and spend your days discovering the thriving abundance of wildlife of the San Juan Islands in beautiful northwestern Washington.
The San Juan Islands National Wildlife Refuge and Wilderness Area is made up of 83 rocks, reefs, grassy islands, and forested islands scattered throughout the San Juan Islands of northern Puget Sound. Within the main area are approximately 700 islands, islets, rocks and reefs.
The islands and the ocean of the area are host to an absolutely stunning and unique array of species. The area was originally designated to protect colonies of nesting seabirds, including pigeon guillemots, double-crested cormorants, and pelagic cormorants. However, they also attract a variety of other wildlife, including deer, fox, raccoons, otters, harbor seals and wild turkey. The islands are home to the largest breeding population of bald eagles in the United States. In order to help maintain the natural character of these islands, all the refuge islands except Matia and Turn are closed to the public.
The refuge is located in Northern Puget Sound and many of the islands can be viewed by state ferries that traverse the area. Or if you prefer, the Inn at Ship Bay on Orca's Island or the lovely Willows Inn on Lummi Island both can arrange to have you set up on a once in a lifetime kayaking trip. These tours are specifically designed to allow you to capture all of the wild beauty the area has to offer. You may even get the chance to paddle with the whales!
With our current global environmental situation, it is exciting to have the chance to experience the refuge for yourself and gain a deeper understanding of just how important preservation really is.
Unique Inns are proud to present our members firmly committed to maintaining this very special environment:
Inn at Ship Bay, Orcas Island, WA
Inn at Ship Bay stewards are Proprietors MaryAnna and Geddes Martin, who bring their care for the land, their guests and for culinary excellence to Orcas Island.
Willows Inn, Lummi Island, WA
Perched against a backdrop of evergreens, the Willows Inn features spectacular views of Georgia Strait and the San Juans.

Hey folks,
I have started this log because I need your help....
In the past, I have done sloppy bulking, bad routines, and gotten nothing but fat and weak...
I am requesting your input and advice as I go along this journey ..If I plateau or stall, I will need your expertise and guidance.
Thanks in advance...
My stats:
6 ft 1, 31 years old, 164 lbs, 16% BF
Bench: 135 lbs
Deadlift: 145 lbs
Squat: 125 lbs
Press: 90 lbs
Row: 65 lbs
Curl: 70 lbs
Pic of me attached with this message, so you can see my "BEFORE" picture...
My goal will be to make major strength gains in all the major lifts, and to achieve some mass.
I will be doing a very simple and basic routine, either Radar's Old School Routine or Chris Mason's Mass Made Easy.
The idea will be to keep it very simple and make progress...
Stay tuned... first workout coming.

Heck No, I Won't Go
In a live chat, Prudie counsels a woman who refuses to visit her husband's home country in the Middle East.
Emily Yoffe, aka Dear Prudence, chats with readers weekly on Mondays here at Slate. An edited transcript of the chat is below. (Sign up here to get Dear Prudence delivered to your inbox each week. Read Prudie's Slate columns here. Send questions to Prudence at firstname.lastname@example.com.)
Q. Cultural Clash: Prudie, please give me your thoughts on this. I am married to a man who is originally from the Middle East. He was educated here, holds a U.S. citizenship, and we've been married for seven years and have a child together. In the last few months he has been asking me to go back to his country of origin to visit his family and introduce me and our daughter to them. Although we are happily married and I completely trust him, I don't want to go. It sounds ridiculous and paranoid, I know, but I fear going into a country where I have no rights as a woman, where my husband can legally (and without any social stigma) beat me, detain me, take other wives, or even take my daughter away. I want to add there is nothing in his character that causes me to consider this as a possibility—but I just don't feel right in going. He says I'm being ridiculous and is offended I am even thinking that.
A: It sounds as if you've recently seen the Sally Field movie, Not Without My Daughter, about an American woman married to an Iranian physician who goes back to Iran for a visit with him and their child. What then plays out is your nightmare. But obviously endless numbers of Americans married to people from the Middle East go back and forth for family visits with nothing untoward happening. I assume among your friends are people from your husband's home country who are married to native-born Americans who have visited and returned, their families and rights intact. You have been married to this man for seven years, so there is something disturbing about your gnawing fear that you're with someone whose long-term plan is to kidnap you and your child. You say you completely trust him, yet you are overwhelmed with worry, so you two are at a stalemate. This is a situation where short-term therapy—say four or so sessions—can clarify what's going on and help you two come up with a plan to address the needs of both of you.
Q. Negligence or Get Over It?: Our child recently flew to overnight camp, and we arranged for my in-laws to pick him up from the airport. He is 12 years old and is technically allowed to fly unaccompanied but is still very much a minor, albeit a tall one! Having flown many times before, we were comfortable with the idea of our son walking alone from the gate to the baggage carousel and were very particular to tell my in-laws to be there waiting at the carousel in advance of his arrival. The arrangements seemed pretty ironclad and our son did not have a cellphone. My in-laws had several pressing errands to do and arrived 35 minutes after the arrival time, which left me terrified. I am incensed at the irresponsibility and negligence of my in-laws for leaving our child alone in a major airport. Their thinking is, "All's well that ends well." They are extremely responsible generally but can be late often. Clearly, this was not a time to be late!
A: Your in-laws are lovely, generally responsible people with a major flaw. I share this flaw, so while I make no excuses for them, when you are dealing with people like us, you need to be aware that sometimes contingency plans are necessary. That means you needed to alert your son that given how Nana and Papa are, he had to be prepared to chill out while he waited. I don't quite understand your terror, Mom. Once your son realized he would have to cool his heels, he was hardly in any danger. I hope he watched the passing show, or read a book—or more likely buried his head in his electronics. Sure, he's a minor, but at 12 years old he should be a competent enough one to entertain himself for a little while, while he waits for his chronically tardy but beloved grandparents to pick him up.
Q. Pooping During Intercourse: My lovely wife and I have (and always have had) a very active sex life. The only problem is, since the birth of our child, she has had a problem with controlling her orgasms. She routinely accidentally passes gas, and occasionally actually accidentally defecates. I never act like it bothers me at all, and to be honest it rarely does, but she gets so embarrassed and mortified by it that she often has to stop—at least temporarily. It was one thing with the gas, but the poop is a show stopper. I don't want to make the problem worse by saying something, and I fear that the recent downturn in our sex lives (down to about three times a week) is related to her anxiety about this. It's important to me that sex is fulfilling and enjoyable for both of us, and I'm in a bit of a pickle here as to what to do. Is this sort of thing normal? I don't even know if it's related to the childbirth process she went through a couple of years ago.
A: I once saw a terrific female comedian do a set on how she judged the skill of her sex partner by how much gas he squeezed out of her. I will also note that your remark that your sex life is down to only (!) three times a week since the birth of your child will have a lot of readers messing their pants. You two have great physical intimacy, but you lack emotional intimacy if you're turning to me to figure out what in the world is going on when your wife defecates while having an orgasm and that you fear talking to her about this. Your wife needs to see a doctor right away! Losing control of your bowels is not normal, and she needs to find out the cause and how to address it. So tell her you're concerned and she needs to make an appointment. Say you'll go with her if that would help. And until you get this figured out, I hope at least you've swiped some crib pads from the kid.
Q. Re: Middle Eastern husband: I too am married to a man from the Middle East. We have gone twice in the five years we've been married, and both times I was not only NOT beaten/subjected to polygamy/forcibly held, but wined, dined, and exposed to wonderful people and cultures. I had some of the best food I've ever eaten and experienced world-famous Middle Eastern hospitality. You will love it. There is definitely something wrong with you if you are only now afraid of his family and culture after seven years. When you marry someone from overseas, I think a basic thing you are signing up for is at least visiting the old country.
A: Beautiful. I hope the letter writer reads this!
Q. Re: Negligence or get over it?: I'm sure I won't be the first to ask, but why on earth would you not get him an inexpensive pay-as-you-go phone to take with him? Program in your in-laws' number as well as your own and tell him to call for anything like this.
A: Good point. There's no reason these days not to have a way to communicate—especially since no one traveling is going to find a phone booth at the airport. Also, the in-laws might have left in plenty of time, only to be held up by a flat tire or an accident on the freeway. People—especially kids—always need to be prepared for such contingencies.

Building Around Trees
add to the cost of the project, but also will increase the chances of saving trees.
If branches or roots must be severed, cut them with care. Generally, remove entire limbs or branches at their origin. Use the 3-cut method to avoid stripping bark below the limb and to promote proper wound closure. Roots should be cleanly cut with a saw to maximize root regeneration and minimize chances for decay. Do not leave ragged ends. Dig carefully around large roots and allow them to pass through a trench. Place utility pipes or lines below the roots. Backfill trenches with loose soil placed on top.
Use wood chips as a protective blanket over the ground. A layer 4 inches or more deep will help prevent soil compaction, especially where construction work near trees cannot be avoided. Chips help protect soils anywhere on the site where new trees, shrubs or turf will be planted. Replenish chips as they deteriorate or wear thin.
Avoid post-construction activities which could further stress weakened trees. Refrain from adding topsoil around trees, installing underground irrigation pipes or using herbicides within tree rooting areas. Do not prune trees heavily, until normal growth rate returns.
Plan for new trees, shrubs, and ground covers, which are compatible with a wooded environment. Plant shade tolerant shrubs and small trees around saved trees to maintain a wooded appearance and help preserve the original root environment. Retain and expand the natural forest floor with bark mulch. Plant turfgrasses in more open, sunny areas where they will grow better and compete less with tree roots.
Building homes, offices or other buildings on wooded sites requires taking precautions to preserve the trees. Consider tree needs before construction begins. Find the best trees and concentrate on saving them. You may wish to protect small trees that have the potential to grow into shade trees.
During construction, protect as much undisturbed area around each tree as possible, remembering to take into account both the visible and the fragile underground parts of the trees. Finally, continue to care for your trees after construction is finished. Your efforts on behalf of the trees will make your dream home in a woodsy setting a reality.
How Much? How Close?
No two trees will react the same to disturbance because of differences in soil type, species, age and condition. Healthy trees generally can tolerate limited injury if they have a good growing environment for recuperation. The more severe the damage and adverse the growing conditions, the higher the risk.
How close to the tree can a tree's roots be cut?
An easily recognizable limit for root disturbances is the ground outside the branch spread, or dripline. Soil excavation inside this point may result in some root loss. But if damage is not done on all sides, a healthy tree can likely tolerate it. If roots are exposed, cut them off cleanly with a saw to promote better regrowth.
How much soil can be added over the roots?
Preferably, none. Added soil can suffocate roots from lack of oxygen. If soil must be added, use the thinnest possible layer of loose soil over the smallest possible area. Think in terms of inches rather than feet. Willows or cottonwoods can tolerate more fill, ashes less and white oaks little, if any, added soil.
How much soil can be removed around a tree?
Because many fine roots are at or near the surface, lowering the grade around trees should be avoided. A healthy tree may tolerate removal of a few inches of soil inside the dripline on one side.
How many limbs can be removed?
Because leaves manufacture food for a tree, removal of more than one fourth of the live branches threatens a tree. Weak trees, or trees with root damage, for example, may tolerate less. Removing dead limbs will not hurt a tree.

Rob of Phoenix, AZ - May, 30 2015:
Ordered this canoe on sale a few weeks ago. I'm using it to go fishing. Took it out today on a large area lake. I use a 280 cm. double bladed with it and it moves nicely. I've read a lot of reviews online that said that the stability wasn't great or it was "tippy". Totally disagree. Plenty stable, tracks nicely. Handled nicely in a few small swells. I can see where a traditional canoe paddle would make it difficult to make this canoe track well due to its short length. Mine came with a traditional web seat, not a molded plastic seat. For reference, I'm 6'4", 235 lbs and I have plenty of room to stretch out. Very light weight, easy to car top. Great product for the price. American made!Rob of Phoenix, AZ - June, 04 2015:
Great boat. Some sites have reviews describing it as unstable or tippy. Not true. I use with a double bladed paddle. I've taken through some one foot or so swells and felt perfectly safe. Quick delivery to local store.

May 2, 2016
The last day of work has come for about 1,000 employees of a House of Raeford Farms turkey plant in Hoke County.
The last workers start their layoff Thursday afternoon in the rural region where unemployment was 9.2 percent in June. The plant has been processing poultry since the 1950's and some employees have worked there for 20 years or more.
The business is a casualty of dropping customer demand for frozen turkeys.
Some employees will be transferred to a second plant in Raeford that employs 400 and processes lunch meat, ground turkey and chicken. The company says it will provide severance packages to eligible workers.
The newly unemployed will receive state jobless benefits that were reduced this July in both amount and length of time workers can collect.

Public feeling fallout from furlough days
By: Gus Thomson, Journal Staff Writer
Friday was a furlough day for Placer County and the impact was being felt deep into a community used to open doors and personal contact five days a week. Wright Pierce stood in the near-empty parking lot outside North Auburn's Placer County Sheriff's Office and wondered aloud why he couldn't get some help. "I got scammed for some money and I wanted to report it," Pierce said. Pierce said he'd tried calling but each time was put on hold after he said it was a non-emergency. He didn't think it was an emergency but thought it was still important enough for him to drive down to the Richardson Drive sheriff's headquarters — only to find the doors locked and a furlough day in progress. The county has scheduled 12 days of office closures during the 2009-10 fiscal year that started last month. About 2,200 county employees take unpaid, mandatory time off. All county emergency response and 24-hour-a-day services, including the Sheriff's Department, fire and child protective services, continued uninterrupted. For Pierce, he couldn't honestly classify his situation as an emergency. So he was left Friday on the outside looking in. "I'd thought I'd come down and talk to someone face-to-face but this is ridiculous," Wright said. "You'd think they'd at least have a sergeant sitting at a desk." Lincoln's Gary Budnic had business at the Placer County Assessor's Office. He drove to the North Auburn office and found it shuttered for the day. He was willing to wait things out and return Monday. "It's the situation now I guess," Budnic said. "It's something you have to deal with." The impact was being felt at nearby businesses like Max's Deli at Heritage Oak Place. Owner Max Berkowitz said the furlough days, which started earlier this year, have a major negative impact on business on the days they occur. Now he's considering some kind of discount — perhaps a "Furlough Friday Special" — to boost eatery traffic during what is normally one of the busiest days of the week. Karen Okicica of Roseville had a real-estate grant deed to process at the county Clerk-Assessor's Office. She was more fortunate. The office is classified as an essential service so it was open and able to help her Friday. But Okicica said she's not happy the office closures are taking place. "You kind of expect government agencies are going to be available," she said. "I do feel for the people who work for the government because they're not the highest paid jobs to begin with." County Clerk Jim McCauley was at work with a skeleton crew of employees. Keeping the office open is a strategic move that allows the county to continue to pick up an extra dollar per transaction by posting them on a daily state index, he said. As well as the extra revenue, the daily postings keep title companies on top of transactions and liens every day — including days when most other county offices are shut down. "It's important that people process their paperwork," McCauley said. Properly processed paperwork was important Friday for Don Pearson and Sid Wiley of Loomis. The two were at the county clerk's office in North Auburn on Friday to take out a marriage license and deputize Wiley's cousin Courtney Hans to perform the ceremony this coming week. The couple had made an appointment but were wondering what was up when they saw how few vehicles were parked outside the office. Half an hour later, they were set. "Because of our job schedules it would have been a problem if we couldn't have done this today," Pearson said. For Wright Pierce, though, it appeared he would have to wait out a weekend. The office with the marriage licenses wasn't going to be of much help. "I've had one of those for 50 years," Pierce said, as he prepared to return home. Gus Thomson can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Erick Rudolph shook off the doldrums of a miserable 2009 Whelen Modified Tour season Sunday in record breaking style.
The teenager from Ransomville, N.Y., won the Spencer 155 at Spencer Speedway in Williamson, N.Y., in the process becoming the youngster winner in the division's history.
At 17 years, 6 months and 3 days old Rudolph bested the mark set last season when Berlin's Ryan Preece won at 17 years, 10 months, 25 days at Martinsville (Va.) Speedway.
It was first time in five events this year that Rudolph has finished a race.
Rudolph led the final 48 laps and held off a last lap charge from former Modified Tour champion Todd Szegedy.
Szegedy, of Ridgefield, held on for second. Chuck Hossfeld of Ransomville, N.Y. was third.
Szegedy went by Chuck Hossfeld for second on the final lap and was side-by-side with Rudolph's car as they cross the finish line. The race was extended from 125 to 131 laps because of a late caution.
Szegedy led a race-high 60 laps but was forced to pit for a flat tire on lap 80 before rallying back. Points leader Ted Christopher of Plainville finished 10th and now holds a 17 point cushion over Szegedy in the standings.

X-FAB announces record sales and earnings for the second quarter of 2004Erfurt, Germany, 八月 24, 2004.
X-FAB Semiconductor Foundries AG, one of the world's leading analog mixed-signal semiconductor foundries, today announced an all-time high of EUR 36.0 million inquarterly sales for the second quarter of 2004. This represents a 26% increase compared to the secondquarter of 2003 in which sales of EUR 28.6 million were recorded. Sales for the first six months of 2004totaled EUR 67.0 million, up 25% from the same period of last year.
The operating income also improved markedly. After earnings of EUR 0.4 million were recorded in the first quarter, the operating income was boosted to EUR 2.5 million in the second quarter. The company's increased profitability has resulted in significantly improved earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT). After a negative EBIT of EUR 5.8 million in the first six months of 2003, X-FAB recorded a positive EBIT of EUR 7.7 million for the first two quarters of 2004.
The net income for the first six months was EUR 5.7 million, of which EUR 1.6 million were attributable to the second quarter of 2004. It has to be noted that the first-quarter income was positively impacted by exchange rate differences. In contrast, the second quarter saw slight exchange rate losses. A comparison with the previous year reveals a loss of EUR 0.5 million for the second quarter of 2003 and a loss of EUR 7.0 million for the first six months of 2003.
Investments, which were primarily spent to expand capacities, amounted to EUR 7.2 million in the second quarter.
Bookings continued to develop positively. X-FAB recorded bookings of EUR 44.7 million in the second quarter (up approximately 23% from the previous quarter) and EUR 81.2 million in the firstsix months of 2004. The book-to-bill ratio in the second quarter was 1.24.
This leads the company to expect another increase in sales and earnings in the second half of the year.

On June 8, REALTORS® from across the Bay State marched on Beacon Hill, filling the Massachusetts State House's Great Hall of Flags to capacity to publicly tout the organization's legislative agenda for 2011. Tops on this year's agenda is passage of legislation, (H.123), which would increase from 12 to 20 the number of hours of continuing education (CE) instruction agents and brokers must receive to renew their real estate license. Participants at REALTOR® Day on the Hill also urged state lawmakers to pass legislation that would provide communities the option of selling municipally-owned vacant and abandoned properties on the open market through the use of real estate brokers, an initiative that would not only create new business opportunities for REALTORS® but provide a more efficient and cost-effective process for getting properties in the hands of buyers and thereby generating property tax revenues. Over 300 REALTORS®, including more than 60 GBAR members, attended the program, which featured remarks by Massachusetts Lt. Gov. Tim Murray, and a luncheon at the GBAR offices attended by Senator James Eldridge (D-Acton), and Rep. Denise Garlick (D-Needham) and Rep. John Lawn (D-Watertown). As part of the REALTOR® organization's long-standing objection to transfer taxes as inequitable and discriminatory tax policy, association members voiced opposition to H.3313, which would authorize a transfer tax on the sale of property in Provincetown. In addition, REALTORS® spoke out against S.1698, a bill that proposes mandatory energy audits for homes through a requirement that all homeowners provide prospective buyers with a completed energy evaluation as a condition of sale/transfer. To learn more about these legislative priorities and others, see the 2011 Legislative Agenda & Talking Points and/or visit the Government Affairs section of marealtor.com.
