I wanted to gather all of my Internet of Things (IOT) blogs into a single blog (that I could later use with my University of San Francisco (USF) Big Data "MBA" course). However as I started to pull these blogs together, I realized that my IOT discussion lacked a vision; it lacked an end point towards which an organization could drive their IOT envisioning, proof of value, app dev, data engineering and data science efforts. And I think that the IOT end point is really quite simple…

Re: Natural method to get rid of ticks?Fri, September 22, 2006 - 4:00 PMWell... The Most Natural method I can think of...
Is to sit behind your dog/cat much like... strike that... EXACTLY like a <insert primate species here> and locate them with your fingers and
pick the little bastards off. (Eating them is not necessary). Plus, your dog will appreciate the extra 15 minutes of finger massage.
Barring that... I personally haven't found a "natural way" that actually works worth a squirt...
I use different things at different times from a Advantage to a spray.
Advantage seems to be the least toxic and definately the most expensive.
Re: Natural method to get rid of ticks?Fri, September 22, 2006 - 7:56 PMAdvantage is only for fleas. For ticks, use Advantix or Frontline.
Re: Natural method to get rid of ticks?Sat, September 23, 2006 - 8:08 AMActually the best is Revolution and it has much lower rates of side effects than the more well known ones.
Also, for natural repellent pennyroyal is the way to go. I have a bunch of it in flower pots around the doors to the house and walkways so it repells them as you approach.
You can also rub some sprigs of it through their fur. Do not do it with pregnant cats though as they will ingest some while licking and it is not good to consume when pregnant.
It's cheap, attractive, good for bees and has nice purple flower clusters, and it grows well with little attention.
I have organic seeds from it for sale because it was so hard to find and everyone kept asking me where to find it.
Re: Natural method to get rid of ticks?Sat, September 23, 2006 - 3:43 PMyou may also try benificial nematodes.
just some research on them if you need it and they are fairly permanant as long as you keep healthy soil and don't kill them off. you will even help your neighbors out with theirs as they multiply rapidly and spread anywhere there is food.
Re: Natural method to get rid of ticks?Sat, September 23, 2006 - 7:31 PMwe live in tick country. iffin it wasn't for them it'd be heaven :) i also find that the best way is to TICK PICK our dogs nightly since they live inside with us.. great for bonding with them too. but do NOT pick them off with your fingers. in doing so you will surely mash the innards into the dog as well as risk leaving the ticks head inside the bite to fester. we use small NEEDLE NOSE PLIARS or stats. grab them by the head and yank. it's incredible how attached they get. often they will literally make a snapping sound as they release. the process will sting the dog. but we have learned to show the removed tick to the dog to smell. they QUICKLY learn what you are doing and are grateful. all i have to do is sit down on the floor and my dogs come flop over with thier head in my lap for de-ticking. but the question was ambigious. we also find that ADAMS flea and tick spray works best.it's made from chrisanthemums and smells nice to boot. get the concentrate and mix your own spray. much cheaper that way. FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS CLOSELY. more is not better in this case and can kill your dog if too potent. but that still begs more answers. the ONLY THING we've found to rid our yard of ticks ( even the high power poisons have little effect) is CHICKENS. a few chickens will rid your yard of ticks. trust me when i say it's the ONLY SOLUTION that truly works. bar none.
Re: Natural method to get rid of ticks?Sun, September 24, 2006 - 2:50 PMi need to be more specific than small longnose pliars. i meant small NEEDLENOSE pliars.
Re: Natural method to get rid of ticks?Sun, September 24, 2006 - 2:52 PMooops again i see i got it right the first time. sorry.
Re: Natural method to get rid of ticks?Mon, September 25, 2006 - 10:32 AMI have to disagree and this may be for me only .. but... I have tried and use (sometimes) different types of picks tweezers, pliers and implements of destruction and... well IMO I can pick ticks of FAR better and with less damage to the tick and dog than using an implement. The human fingers are just far more dexterous and sensitive. I live in Northern Cali and at one time had about 6 ranch dogs to take care of.
I think one of the most important aspects to picking ticks is to get them quickly and on the first try so they don't reactivley dig in.
*Note keeping a couple of prep pads of alcohol to clean your hands and the bite.
Re: Natural method to get rid of ticks?Tue, September 26, 2006 - 6:16 PMI agree, I've never used anything but my fingers. The trick is to grasp the little tick jaws with your finger nails, and don't smash the body as you pull the tick off
Re: Natural method to get rid of ticks?Tue, September 26, 2006 - 10:04 PMif you have them in your house, use citrasolve. it knocks them right out.
Re: Natural method to get rid of ticks?Sun, October 1, 2006 - 6:43 AMsomething just happened that illustrated the discrepency in our methods.my old dog, who ain't much on being petted, just came and put her head between my hand and the keyboard. this is her way of telling me she has ticks. i felt around and sure enough she had half a dozen. then it dawned on me. she had BOTH KINDS. the BIG tick we refer to as animal ticks. because only animals get them. and REGULAR ticks that infest both animals and humans. they are TINY. much too small to grasp easily with your fingers. some so small as to be impossible to grasp. the ANIMAL ticks are easy to remove by fingers and don't fasten on very well. the tiny ticks are what i was refering to. they are the ones that snap when removed. some people call them CRABS. i have never been able to remove them properly by fingers.
Re: Natural method to get rid of ticks?Sun, October 1, 2006 - 1:20 PMBy "regular ticks" and "crabs" are you referring to this:
If so, that's a crab louse (commonly called "crabs") and isn't a tick at all, it's a species of lice.
Re: Natural method to get rid of ticks?Sun, October 1, 2006 - 2:53 PMyes. do you have a pic of what i refer to as an animal tick ??
This is the maximum depth. Additional responses will not be threaded.
Re: Natural method to get rid of ticks?Sun, October 1, 2006 - 8:08 PMHere's a Rocky Mountain Tick
And two deer ticks (and one wood tick):
The differences:
Lice have six legs, ticks have eight (but sometimes two are hard to find)
Lice are usually smaller than all but baby ticks
Lice will lay eggs on their hosts, I don't think ticks do, and given time lice will set up large healthy and annoying colonies on a suitable host that can spread to others.
Ticks have much harder exoskeletons
Ticks will typically either be crawling around on clothes or the skin (easy to remove) or have their head literally buried in the flesh of their host (very difficult to remove), while lice will often be holding onto their host's hair with their claws (difficult to remove)
Both lice and ticks may bite both humans and animals.
Re: Natural method to get rid of ticks?Sun, September 24, 2006 - 4:53 AMThank you all SO much, this is more help than I've been able to dig up anywhere else.
Re: Natural method to get rid of ticks?Sun, September 24, 2006 - 7:22 AMi never tried this, but i was told if you cover the tick in vaseline, it cannot breath, it will release itself and leave
Re: Natural method to get rid of ticks?Sun, September 24, 2006 - 9:37 AMdoctors do not recomend this method, as the pncers burrow deeper in desperation, it gives off more saliva in the dying process and an inflammation is much more likely
Re: Natural method to get rid of ticks?Mon, September 25, 2006 - 6:03 AMWhen I was a kid we'd just wash with kerosene. Ticks Fleas Lice Chiggers Crabbs they all die.
Crabb's eggs however will hatch and ya gotta kill them as they do.
Re: Natural method to get rid of ticks?Mon, September 25, 2006 - 12:15 PMkerosene may cause cancer and is vary un eco-freindly
Re: Natural method to get rid of ticks?Tue, September 26, 2006 - 4:29 PMsorry no cookie this time. BURNING kerosene and breathing the fumes long term is thought to POSSIBLY cause lung cancer but studies are non-conclusive. kerosene is not carcinogenic.
Re: Natural method to get rid of ticks?Wed, September 27, 2006 - 6:48 AMYah so Kero if un-eco and can possibly cause cancer if - and I stress if - you get enough inside you to penetrate the cells. But to kill the little parasites I think it's the bomb.
In that application at those levels of use I don't really give a rat's ass about the eco bit. It's meaningless.
Re: Natural method to get rid of ticks?Sat, September 30, 2006 - 6:58 AMOr you can just use petroleum jelly on them. Works just as well if not better and is less messy.
Re: Natural method to get rid of ticks?Fri, September 29, 2006 - 9:59 AMYou make a peace pact with the ticks. Sometimes it works with me and mosquitos. Maybe it'll work for you. You do have to offer them something, though. Hopefully, not your blood
Re: Natural method to get rid of ticks?Fri, September 29, 2006 - 10:49 AMDo a search for Neem. It'a a bit like 'tea tree' but I've heard it can get rid of fleas although I'm not sure about ticks.
Re: Natural method to get rid of ticks?Fri, September 29, 2006 - 12:22 PMNot a very efficent way to get them, but a very fun way is to light a match, blow it out and imeadiately touch it to the tick's ass. The match head should still be hot enough to burn the little buggers and they crawl out of the skin right away - then just squish 'em.
Re: Natural method to get rid of ticks?Fri, September 29, 2006 - 9:12 PMTo remove ticks, I slowly rub my finger around them in a counterclockwise direction. I do not rub or push on them very hard. Within a very short time, about 30 seconds, the tick lets go on its own. As soon as it lets go, I grab it and burn it in an ash tray. Works every time.
Re: Natural method to get rid of ticks?Tue, October 3, 2006 - 7:15 PMIf only there was a way to kill them naturally other than have a flock of geese running around the yard eating them, being mean, and shitting everywhere...
so I resort to pure poison!
The dog has Lyme so now all bets are off Frontline and a collar for her, showers for the people.
I've heard that they have a bad sense of smell so herbs & oils are useless, and the f*ers are alive all winter long unless covered by snow. Pray for snow!
Re: Natural method to get rid of ticks?Wed, October 4, 2006 - 6:08 AMno. pray for a warm winter. cold kills the virus that kills ticks. if it stays warm they all die from it.
Re: Natural method to get rid of ticks?Wed, October 11, 2006 - 5:40 AMGet a flock of Guinea fowl. They do a really good job of eating ticks.

Re: Natural method to get rid of ticks?Tue, May 4, 2010 - 9:09 AMHello everyone, I'm trying to find out how to get rid of ticks in my yard, it seems like they are everywhere this year. If anyone has a suggestion please let me know. I also have a suggestion for anyone needing a remedy to remove ticks from your dog. If the tick infestation is really bad this works wonders, i read it online last year because i had a stray dog come into my yard and she was loaded with but she wouldn't hold still long enough for me to pick them off. Okay this is what you do, take two whole lemons cut them into quarters, then put them in a pot of water about half way full and let them boil for about 20 minutes, after that let them set over night in the water. The next day find a squirt bottle and poor the lemon water into it and then spray it on the ticks, it won't hurt your dog at all. The next morning the ticks will be all shriveled up and dead they just fall right off of the dog. I honestly didn't think it was going to work but i tried it anyways, and i was shocked, it is wonderful. I hope that i was helpful to someone, and please if anyone has a suggestion for my questiong please let me know, thanks.
Re: Natural method to get rid of ticks?Tue, May 4, 2010 - 9:38 AMStopping garden ticks? mow & cut all plants and grasses down to a few inches in height.... because they need tall grasses to do their thing of hopping onto a passing host. They won't hang out in short grass.

"How to Remove a Tick and Prevent Tick Bites
by Tanya Ryno, Posted Aug 28th 2007 11:00AM
Filed Under: Essential Skills, Know-How, Outdoors
If you spend time outdoors, like I do, or you have pets or kids that go outdoors, you need to be aware of ticks. Ticks are small bloodsucking bugs that burrow into your skin (yes, it's disgusting) and many species transmit diseases. You can get Lyme disease, Ehrlichiosis, Rocky Mountain spotted fever and Tularemia from a tick. Here in New Jersey, Lyme disease seems to be the most prevalent.
Some ticks are so small that they can be difficult to see. Ironically the small ticks are the ones that you should be most aware of. Ticks may get on you if you walk through areas where they live, such as tall grass, leaf litter or shrubs -- even in your own backyard. They also seem to fall from trees.
Think you've been bit by a tick? First things first. Don't panic. Yes, it's true that Lyme disease is the most common tick-borne disease in the United States, but your risk of developing Lyme disease after being bitten by a tick is very low. If you think you're experiencing the symptoms of Lyme disease, visit a doctor as soon as possible.
To remove a tick:
Locate the tick and remove it as soon as possible because risk of infection increases between 24 to 72 hours after the tick attaches to the skin. You are less likely to get sick from a tick bite if you remove the tick within 24 hours.
1. Soak a cotton ball with rubbing alcohol or use a disposable alcohol wipe. Gently clean the skin around the tick.
2. Grasp the tick as close to the skin as possible. Pull it straight up and out with tweezers or with fingertips protected by a tissue, cloth or rubber gloves. Do not touch the tick with your bare hands.
3. Pull gently until the tick lets go. Do not twist or jerk the tick suddenly because this may break off the tick's head or mouth parts. Do not leave any parts of the tick in the skin.
4. Do not crush or squeeze the tick since its body may be infected with germs. Flush the tick down the toilet.
Do not put a hot match, petroleum jelly or fingernail polish on the tick. This does not cause a tick to come off more easily. Doing this may cause the tick to vomit (throw up) germs into your skin, exactly what you don't want to happen.
After the tick is removed, clean the area of the bite with rubbing alcohol. Wash your hands with soap and water.
To help protect yourself and your family before getting bit:
- Use a chemical repellent with DEET, permethrin or picaridin (Use this to the letter, so you don't get future health problems.
- Make sure kids use product with less than 10% DEET in it.)
- Wear light-colored protective clothing
- Tuck pant legs into socks
- Avoid tick-infested areas
- Check yourself, your children and your pets daily for ticks and carefully remove any ticks you find"
Re: Natural method to get rid of ticks?Fri, May 7, 2010 - 2:54 AMHey, Lorenzo, or anyone else:
can you tell me more about this Citra Solv?
Which product did you mean?
Re: Natural method to get rid of ticks?Sat, May 15, 2010 - 2:33 PMThe concentrate is usually the way to go with the citra solve.
Re: Natural method to get rid of ticks?Fri, May 7, 2010 - 9:15 AMMost natural way possible:
Roll the tick bite victim around in a thick bed of brilliantly hot coals.
Works every time.

Re: Natural method to get rid of ticks?Sat, May 8, 2010 - 7:15 AMIf you are talking in your yard the best tick preventer that is natural would be either guinea hens or chickens.. get a flock of either and you wont have any ticks what so ever as they will find them all...
Re: Natural method to get rid of ticks?Wed, May 12, 2010 - 7:34 PMThere are several ways to get rid of ticks and fleas. The safest way is to use a product called diatomaceous earth food grade. There is a web site that will give you all the details on ridding ticks and fleas in a safe and natural way without harming your pets of family.
You can also use twenty mule team borax. The ingredient dehydrates the outer shell on both the ticks and fleas.
The best way to kill a tick if you should happen to remove one from you pet is to place them in rubbing alcohol. It is instant death. Also you should use rubbing alcohol to losen the tick's head from your pet before pulling it out.

UPDATE — For the third time, I returned to the SPRINT company store on Sunday, December 1, 2013 located on E. Cedar Ave in Aurora, Colorado, to return a very small Samsung Galaxy Tablet and cancel my 2-year commitment. This was done within the 14 day period SPRINT allows for a return. After waiting for a short while and then being waited-on, the young man who helped me said that the "$75 Tablet Restocking Fee" would now be rescinded. Therefore, I was able to remove myself from any and all present and future monthly charges by SPRINT. He did say that I may have a few minutes of connection charges to pay during the time I had the Tablet in my possession. I said that was understandable and acceptable.
Therefore, I want ALL to know that SPRINT, after three times of trying to return a Tablet that I had purchased WITHOUT being informed of the "$75 Restocking Fee" or of the total and FULL MONTHLY CHARGES, was now returned. The young man had allowed me to do so without a Restocking Fee and had cancelled all other charges. "Thank you very much" goes out to that young man—and SPRINT!
Whew, this ordeal is finally over and has ended well. Unfortunately, it would never have happened in the first place if the young lady who had sold me the Tablet had actually informed me of all my financial involvement (of which I did ask her more than once) and the $75 Restocking Fee (she had omitted telling me about) if I returned the Tablet during the 14 day "return Period" allowable by SPRINT.

So what do you have a hard time READING? All of this is information that would have been part of both your initial paperwork and on your receipt. If youre looking for accolades on SCREWING Sprint, you wont get them from me. YOU ARE A SCAMMER!!! The cost of changing your mind was $75.00. You bullshitted your way out of it by using internet blackmail. You sir are sleeze. Its people like you who think they DONT have to pay for their mistakes thats messing America up. They CANNOT resell that tablet without sending it back and getting it checked over. So now they have to do this work for FREE because not only did you change your mind, but you weaseled your way out of paying what was RIGHTFULLY their money. Congratz, youre nothing more then a lowlife mouthbreathing jackass who is out to rob ppl. Thats ok though. Karma will come back on you. And you will cry to the web boohoo.
Reading is fundimental. But in YOUR case it must be optional. Do you need ppl to tell you when to breathe as well.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Do those two little words provoke anxiety attacks instead of giddy butterflies? Then it's time to do something about that.
Because girl, #YouGotThis: No matter who this first date is, you don't need to be the skinniest, sexiest, funniest, anything-est woman in the world to have an amazing time. Bottom line? Be a real woman.
First of all, the right headspace is key. Get yourself in a good mood. Squeeze in some quick cardio so you're all glowy and those feel-good endorphins are doing their thing. Exfoliate with a luxe scrub. Choose an outfit that makes you do a double take when you catch yourself in the mirror, and get ready while listening to a playlist that puts a perma-grin on your face.
Do whatever makes you feel confident. Think of the compliments that remind you of just how kick-ass you are, and have them running on a loop.
Once you're face-to-face, you'll see what kind of chemistry you two really have. Is he nice enough but not The One? Don't despair: Use the night as practice and flex those flirting muscles. At the very least, you're making a new friend—and having a hell of a time doing it!
But if you luck out and find yourself thinking, "Um, jackpot! He's dreamy," then more power to you. But don't ever, ever forget: You're a catch. This date is to decide if you like him, not the other way around.
Now, if you've spent a few hours together, you've really hit it off and the night is coming to a close: Leave. Yes, you read that right, leave! This isn't about games; it's about ending the date on such a high that you simply have no choice but to see each other again.
Oh, what's that? He's already calling you to schedule a second date? Voil?. #YouGotThis.

XXL Magazine has made a list of Pusha T's 30 Greatest Double Entendres.
Pusha T is a word whiz. Sure the brash, all-white-everything content is buried in his lyrics ("Culinary chemist, I serve the malicious"—"I'm Not You") but P's ability to fill his rhymes with wit-filled gems and intricate wordplay is all in all what makes him one of the game's master wordsmiths.On "Numb it Down," a song off Clipse's 2008 mixtape Road to Till the Casket Drops, Mildred's baby boy gloats about his skills on the mic, even referencing his penchant for dropping well-constructed double entendres ("The double entendres remind you of Andre 3K/Make you spin it back like a DJ"). A French term for "double meaning," these double entendres often fuel Neighborhood P's high-level wordplay and over time has become synonymous with his rhyming scheme.Heck, even Wrath Of Caine, the title of his latest mixtape, bares the dual meaning expression—on one end, it can be interpreted as the fury of P's Pyrex-inspired tales, and on the other, Caine is also a biblical reference to Cain, the cursed son of Eve.With all that in consideration, we looked back at Pusha's discography (solo and part of Clipse) and highlighted 30 of his greatest Double Entendres in rhyme. Here's the magic…—Ralph Bristout

Jon Niese leaves start with knee pain
Mets starter Jon Niese left his start Tuesday night against the Cardinals due to left knee pain.
Niese walked two and gave up an RBI single before leaving with a trainer with one out in the bottom of the first inning. He was eventually charged with three earned runs. Robert Gsellman, just up from Las Vegas, took over, making his major league debut under unexpected circumstances.
Niese, who has not pitched well at all since coming over in a trade with the Pirates, is likely to be placed on the disabled list after the game or before tomorrow's game.
Mark Trumbo's home run streak ends
Mark Trumbo still has many chances to hit a home run tonight — it's only been an inning or so in the Nats-Orioles game — but his weird home run streak is over.
Coming into tonight's game, Trumbo's last seven hits had been homers. The all-time record had been 11, set by Mark McGwire back in 2001. The last time Trumbo got a hit that wasn't a dong was back on August 11. Later in that game, however, he hit a grand slam. After that he went 6 for his next 34, with all those safeties dingers.
But that's over now. In the first inning tonight he drove in a run with a two-out single. Then he was thrown out trying to stretch it to two. Good job on the RBIs, Mark. Bad job on the base running. Judgment withheld on the homer streak because, really, that's just kind of weird and cool.

Parents Television Council Blasts NBC and 'America's Got Talent' For Hiring Howard Stern
NBC confirmed today that shock jock Howard Stern has been hired as a new judge on "America's Got Talent." Now the Parents Television Council, an advocacy group that has previously criticized the radio personality, is blasting the move.
In a statement, Tim Winter, President of the Parents Television Council, said "In an act of desperation for a flailing network, NBC has hired Howard Stern – a performer who is synonymous with shock, profanity and obscenity – as a judge on a prime-time talent competition."
Winter went on to say "The once-proud broadcast network has lost its way and has made it clear it holds no concern whatsoever for children and families. It also risks losing millions in advertising dollars. Whatever principles NBC had in the past, when the network was successful, have clearly gone out the window."
NBC declined to comment on the PTC's criticism. In a statement, NBC said "Stern will provide his feedback on the colorful array of hopeful future stars who are currently auditioning in major cities around the country for the show's upcoming seventh season." The release described Stern as an "outspoken, unedited and headline-grabbing host."
The Wall Street Journal had previously reported that Stern was in serious negotiations with NBC to become a judge on the show.

Grim Housing Numbers Not Too Surprising
Tuesday's grim housing numbers aren't much of a surprise. Still, the drop in home resales is more than twice as much as analysts expected.
Home resales dropped a record 27.2% to an annual rate of 3.83 million in July, the National Association of Realtors said Tuesday. Meanwhile, inventories rose to 12.5 months from 8.9 months in June, pressuring already depressed home prices. Inventories are at their highest level in more than a decade.
The report underscores two trends that first emerged earlier this summer: housing demand plunged after the government stopped paying people to buy homes, and the economy began losing steam around the same time, making the tax credit pullback all the more painful.
A series of data have hinted at this collapse in sales for weeks.
First, mortgage applications went off a cliff in May, after tax credits worth as much as $8,000 expired. Buyers have until the end of next month to close on sales, but they had to sign a purchase contract by April 30. This happened even as mortgage rates began their steady decline to their lowest levels in generations.
Second, newly signed contracts, or pending sales, plunged by 30% in May from one month earlier. Since it typically takes between 1-2 months for those sales to close, Tuesday's report on July sales should be the first to reflect that plunge.
Third, local real-estate groups across the country have reported jaw-dropping declines in sales volume from year-ago levels. July sales were down by 45% in Milwaukee, Wisc; 42% in Minneapolis; 29% in Dallas and Portland, 27% in Albuquerque and Denver, 18% in Las Vegas and Seattle. (A complete list, tracked by housing economist Thomas Lawler, is available at CalculatedRisk).
Even in many California markets, which had a separate state tax credit to goose activity, sales dropped in July. The San Francisco Bay Area had its worst July in 15 years with sales down by 23%, according to MDA DataQuick, a real-estate research firm. Sales were down by 21% from month-ago and year-ago levels for Southern California.

hi, i often hear that "block ip", but i know every computer has an
unique physical address, why we can't block physical address? you
know,some counties, say,china, usually more than one user use the same
ip, maybe one of them does something ' wrong ', then get
punished, his ip is blocked. but at the same time, the other people who
use the same ip can't access some sites. that's not fair to them.
in a tcp connection, the receiver can get the source ip, namely,the
ip of the sender. i wonder does the receiver know the physical address
of the sender in a tcp connection?

ELKINS - Bond was modified Thursday for an Elkins woman accused of attacking her boyfriend with a knife.
Molly Ryan Slauer, 18, was arrested on June 11 and charged with one felony count of malicious wounding. Her boyfriend, Christopher Lyle Turner, 27, also was arrested and charged with one misdemeanor count of domestic battery and one misdemeanor count of domestic battery.
In Randolph County Magistrate Court Thursday, Slauer's attorney, Steve Nanners, made a motion to have the terms of her bond modified from $50,000 cash only to $50,000 personal recognizance.

Magistrate Mike Riggleman granted the motion but added a list of terms to Slauer's bond, including reporting to North Central Community Corrections for evaluation and treatment, submitting to random drug testing, having no direct or indirect contact with the alleged victim, and attending Narcotics Anonymous, Alcoholics Anonymous, individual counseling and being evaluated for in patient rehabilitation.
Riggleman said adding these terms to Slauer's bond did not mean she was guilty, but he felt the terms were necessary.
"Ms. Slauer, I need you to understand something. By me recommending and saying that you have to report to Community Corrections is in no way saying that you are guilty of anything, but from the complaint that I have read and from talking to family members I believe it is something that we must do," Riggleman said.
According to the criminal complaint, Slauer and Turner were engaged in a struggle involving a knife at Slauer's apartment on June 11 which continued into the street. Both were injured in the altercation, police said.
After police gathered information, Slauer allegedly became violent outside Davis Medical Center. An Elkins Police officer tried to buckle Slauer's seat belt in his patrol vehicle when she "began kicking (him) several times in the chest with her feet," then "slipped both hands from her handcuffs and threw the handcuffs, striking (the officer's) chin, and sending (the) handcuffs across the apron of the hospital," according to the complaint.
Slauer allegedly attempted to flee but was quickly grabbed and taken to the ground where she couldn't resist. The officer then "applied a one second burst of Cap Stun (pepper spray) to the facial area of Slauer and was able to restrain her once again and place her back into the patrol vehicle," the complaint states.
Several witnesses were outside the hospital when the incident took place and have supplied written statements describing the incident, police said.
Also in Randolph County Magistrate Court Thursday:
- Kyle Brent Hoyman, 23, of Belington, waived his preliminary hearing in exchange for early discovery. Hoyman is charged with one felony count of third offense shoplifting.
- Andrew Coleman Storey, 24, of Elkins, waived his preliminary hearing in exchange for a bond modification. The terms of his bond were changed from $15,000 cash only to $15,000 personal recognizance. Storey is charged with one felony count of grand larceny.

Scholarships and Financial Aid
We're here to help students and families navigate the complicated world of scholarships and financial aid.
Our straightforward approach can help you through every step.

- We make it easy to see what NWU scholarships you qualify for.
Then we connect you to additional aid programs, such as:
- grants which require no repayment,
- subsidized loans, where there's no interest accrued while you're in school,
- and unsubsidized loans, where interest begins accruing right away.
Everyone accepted for admission is automatically considered for an academic scholarship!

On-campus Employment
Roughly 600 NWU students earn money by working on campus.
On-campus employment opportunities include approximately 600 part-time jobs, some of which are funded through the Federal Work-Study Program, and others which are funded by Nebraska Wesleyan.
We work with families every day building financial aid packages to fit their needs.
Many families walk in assuming that Wesleyan is too expensive so they will not be able to afford it. Our best advice to students and families concerned about affordability: Just give us a chance to put together a financial aid package and show you the net cost.
- We'll show you what academic scholarships you qualify for.
- We'll help you locate state and federal grants.
- We'll give you the information you need to minimize your debt.

In a recent study, researchers have found that the Mediterranean-type diet (MedDiet) reduces plasma LDL-cholesterol concentrations primarily by increasing LDL clearance and reducing cholesterol absorption. 19 men with metabolic syndrome had their diet first standardised to a baseline North American control diet for 5 weeks followed by 5 weeks of a MedDiet, both under weight-maintaining isoenergetic feeding conditions. The participants then underwent a 20-week free-living energy restriction period, followed by the consumption of the MedDiet for 5 weeks under controlled isoenergetic feeding conditions. The LDL-cholesterol-lowering effect of the MedDiet was accompanied by significant reductions in plasma PCSK9 concentrations (-11.7%) and in the phytosterol:cholesterol ratio (-9.7%) compared with the control diet.

Dear Midwife,
Please help! I am 36 weeks and 6 days pregnant with my fourth child. I believe I am in labor because I have been contracting for 2 days now every 15-20 minutes.
I suddenly started itching tonight starting with the tops of my feet and now covering pretty much my whole body. I have not broken out or anything, just severe itching that I cant control. I am not able to sleep or even relax, it is so uncomfortable. Is this due to me being pregnant, in labor or just plain weird?
Thank you,
No, there are a couple of late-pregnancy conditions that can cause the itching. It should be reported to your care provider who can run some tests to see what it is, and then depending, give you options for treatment.
-- Cynthia, CNM. PhD.

Buy Tramadol Online Safely
Tramadol is a common pharmaceutical drug available throughout the world. Traditionally, Tramadol has been bought at the local drugstore and local pharmacies with a doctor's prescription. But as the use of online commerce grows, more and more people are turning to the internet to buy Tramadol online and make other pharmaceutical purchases. This has many benefits namely significant costs savings to customers who save money on prescriptions medication combined with the ease of online ordering. Not to mention the convenience of having your drugs delivered to your door.
One normally needs a prescription from a doctor when buying Tramadol. However it is not necessary to have a prescription before you buy Tramadol online. This is because good online pharmacies employ licensed doctors who write a prescription in the same process when you buy Tramadol online. Patients fill out a detailed questionnaire for the licensed doctors to assess and they evaluate your condition and make a prescription based on the information provided by you. This prescription is then passed onto a licensed pharmacist, the script is filled and the order is dispatched. One gets to buy medicines online easily with the click of a mouse. This precludes the need to see a doctor beforehand specifically to just get a script to buy Tramadol. Many people today safely buy Tramadol online and save money on prescriptions in the process.
One store which has one of the best reputations for supplying quality online pharmaceuticals, uses only licensed doctors and licensed pharmacists is My-medz.com . Click here to see store.

Tramadol (official name: Tramadol Hydrochloride or Tramadol HCL) is a well known and long time respected painkiller. It belongs to a group of drugs called analgesics. To put things simply, an analgesic is another word for a 'painkiller'. So Tramadol is a drug that is widely used to kill pain. Tramadol is in fact a synthetic analgesic. It is known as a synthetic equivalent of codeine and acts a bit like morphine but without the addictive characteristics of that opioid.
It is prescribed to treat moderate to moderately severe pain in humans and even animals. It has been in existence since 1977, developed by the family owned Germany company Grünenthal GmbH and is used by millions of people throughout the world to relieve pain successfully.
Tramadol has proven to be a very popular pain reliever because it is very effective for moderate pain relief, well tolerated by the body, while also being relatively inexpensive.
The precise working method of Tramadol is not exactly known but it is said to work similarly to opiate drugs like morphine. But is has the advantage that it does not have the addictive nature that is so common with other opiate drugs.
Tramadol works by binding to the opioid receptors in the brain. It is these receptors that transmit the sensation of pain throughout the body. It effectively blocks the receptors in the brain from receiving pain signals, or it interferes with the brains interpretation of the signals, thereby relieving the sufferer from symptoms.
Uses of Tramadol
Analgesics, like Tramadol , work to dull pain by working on the central nervous system. Tramadol is safe to use but must be prescribed to patients by a doctor. It is an effective way to relive pain and it does so without causing drowsiness or unconsciousness. This makes it desirable for human beings looking for effective painkillers who want to still be able to function in today's society.
Tramadol also has the benefit that it is not an anti-inflammatory, which means people who cannot tolerate anti-inflammatory drugs due to their side effects can use Tramadol as their preferred method of pain relief, adding to its popularity.
What symptoms is it used for?
Being a painkiller, there are many uses that Tramadol is prescribed for. For people suffering moderate to moderately severe pain Tramadol has proven a very effective pain relief solution. Among some of the many symptoms Tramadol is used for include patients who suffer from: post-surgery pain, fibromyalgia, arthritis, restless legs syndrome, lower back and lumber pain, pain associated with cancers and heartburn or acid reflux. Being an opioid analgesic Tramadol is said to work like a narcotic drug even though it is however significantly chemically different from narcotics. Luckily there is little evidence that the drug is widely abused.
Is it safe?
Yes Tramadol is safe to use in most cases though it is known to have certain interactions with other drugs and diseases so its always best to talk to your physician about your situation before you take Tramadol. It has been prescribed safely by doctors now for a very long time and doctors know when it should be used by patients and when not to. Like any drug usage, users should follow the instructions on the packet carefully and if in any doubt about its effects or its use, consult your doctor for more information. There is evidence to support that some people use the drug for recreational purposes although its value for such purposes is not as high as other recreational drugs. Take only as recommended and do not take more than prescribed otherwise a dependency might occur.
Do not use tramadol if you:
- have an allergic reaction to codeine medication or any other form of opioid medication, for example: morphine. This will include reactions like swelling of the face including mouth tongue and lips, severe rashes, itching, hives or tightness in the chest
- have any known allergies to Tramadol's ingredients
- have suicidal thoughts or tendencies
- have acute and persistent diarrhea which is caused by the use of antibiotics
- are a heavy drinker or have a known predisposition for alcohol abuse
- have a known predisposition for substance abuse
- before taking Tramadol you are intoxicated with sedatives, sleeping medicines, alcohol, narcotics, or opioids.
How to take Tramadol
Tramadol is usually dispensed in tablet or capsule form in some instances it is given orally in a pump pack that the patient controls as and when they need it. And in such applications such as epidurals it is given in an injection form. However it is dispensed, patients must use Tramadol as directed by their doctor. Always check the label on the medicine packet or bottle for instructions and the exact dosage to be used. Failure to follow the instructions exactly on how much to take and how often can lead to complications.
- Tramadol is taken by mouth and can be taken with food or without it. Usually it is taken every 4 to 6 hours or as needed for pain relief.
- Tablets and capsules should be swallowed whole. They should not be broken up, crushed or chewed before swallowing. This can be dangerous and should definitely be avoided.
- Follow the instructions for dosage and do not miss any doses. If you miss a dose, do not take double the amount to make up. If it's close to the next dosage time, just take the normal dosage and skip the dosage missed.

Maybe democracy isn't for everyone
Published: Tuesday, February 22, 2011 at 8:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, February 22, 2011 at 8:01 a.m.
Everyone should be a Catholic.
OK, then, everyone should be a Baptist.
Well let's try that everyone should be a Republican.
Wrong again?
Hmmm, then everyone should live in the state of Michigan.
Not hardly? How about everyone should eat Brussels sprouts twice a week.
Hold on, you seem to reject the idea that one thing is right for everyone.
Why are you so un-American?
U.S. foreign policy is that everyone in the world should adopt and live in a political system like ours, a representative government.
We think that everyone should have freedoms of speech, press, religion and that everyone should live under a fair system of justice.
Not only is this our foreign policy, but we misused our military to try and stuff democracy down the throats of the Iraqis and are misusing our military to try and stuff democracy down the throats of Afghanistan.
And the world is gagging.
Just as one religion or one food or one area to live in doesn't suit everyone, one political system doesn't suit everyone.
Plus, there is the argument that the government the United States is exporting is at best a myth and at worst a hypocrisy.
The world sees our money-driven elections, very low citizen participation, Patriot Act/Homeland Security response to 9/11 and disproportionate rates of incarceration and capital punishment.
So we gave Hosni Mubarak a less-than-gentle shove.
Now what?
Egypt has no system in place for a transition from autocracy to democracy.
We seem to have forgotten that Mubarak came to power on the assassination of Anwar El-Sadat, who was killed because of his cooperation with the United States' policy toward Israel.
We have bought the continuation of that cooperation through billions in military aid to Egypt, not through the hearts and minds of the Egyptian people.
Mubarak's loyalty to the United States came at a steep cost of Egypt's harsh stifling of internal opposition and strained relations with its Arab neighbors.
If I were an ally with internal opposition, I might flinch at the United States' "soft" loyalty.
Egypt's military is now in control.
The Egyptian military has gained great political and economic power that would have to be relinquished in a democracy.
When is the last time money and power were willingly relinquished?
Governments evolve to fit the people, fit the times and fit the circumstances.
All people and all circumstances are not suited for a democracy and/or personal freedoms for that matter.
Iraq is a perfect example.
Based on centuries of sectarian and tribal hostility and brutality, Iraq needs a dictator; preferably a benevolent one, not a brutal one.
Dictatorship provided internal stability and peace for them.
We tried to shove democracy onto people who have no interest in compromise and cooperation with each other — at least not until all the aggrieved feel that they have settled centuries-old scores, which will take centuries — if ever.
And now we are repeating that mistake in Afghanistan.

Great optics, great fitment, but it shattered on a low-speed track day impact of 40 mph. It didn't even hit the ground - I think my foot hit it when I fell off the bike. I would recommend a non-shattering windscreen (ABS plastic of similar), even if the optics are worse. They're cheaper, too.
Zero Gravity Double Bubble Windscreen
- Description
- 21 Reviews
- 3 Questions
- Fitment
The Zero Gravity Double Bubble has changed the face of the sportbike industry. This innovative "bubble within a bubble" concept was pioneered by Zero Gravity and has pushed modern day race bikes to their peak performance level. From Zero Gravity's first inception of a performance windscreen, the Double Bubble is Zero Gravity's version of the now popular "stepped profile" design, pioneered by Zero Gravity Racing in the mid-90's.
Sculpted to the sport bike's distinctive futuristic lines, the Zero Gravity Double Bubble enhances the bike's race look while providing added aerodynamics.
- Best optics of any windscreen on the market.
- All are fabricated using highly specialized blow-molding techniques similar to those used to form aircraft canopies; the result is virtually distortion-free optics.
- Made from the finest grade of acrylic plastic.
- Each windscreen is stretched as it is formed, a process which results in superior strength and flexibility; this flexibility allows the windscreen to absorb road vibrations and resist cracking.
- Factory drilled holes and profiles that match your O.E.M. fairing for a precision fit.
- Used by the best Superbike, Grand Prix, Supersport and Endurance teams in America, Zero Gravity windscreens dominate road racing.
Measurements Explained:
- A: The total length from the nose to the highest trailing center edge.
- B: From a flat surface to the highest trailing center edge.
- C: The total width from the widest trailing edge of the screen.

Had this product on my Ninja 650r for 4 months and only got 2-3 rides out of it. Broke at the car wash while cleaning the bike.. Was very happy with how it looked and fit.. Just not quality.
Many complain that this doesn't do its job. After riding with this windshield for 6000 miles, I can say that it does reduce the force of the air on the rider, but it can never fully eliminate that effect. Riding position will also affect how well this windshield works too. If you have a sport bike that has you leaning forward, it'll do fine. If you ride an FZ1 like myself, it helps keep the wind from blowing you around a bit.
Amazing windscreen that fit my 03 ninja 636 perfect.. I can see threw it just fine and I ordered the dark smoke... Comes with the little zero gravity decals in the top left and right corner...
I purchased this for my 2012 R1 and was not happy with the fit on my bike or the looks of the windscreen. It was very loose and once fully installed it was very sloppy. I returned the windscreen and bought the GYTR raised bubble windscreen, it was well worth the extra money
It fits nice and looks awesome I like that it let's me sit higher on the bike at faster speeds thanks
Fits perfectly on my CBR600F4i and looks sleek too! Deflects the wind quite well! I actually feel like I'm in a bubble when I tuck in behind this bad boy. Great purchase and superior quality!
I bought this to replace a Memphis shades screen that was damaged at Barber. The screen feels solid and both stock and replacement hardware fits perfectly. I was able to experience it at Road Atlanta for the first time and the performance was as expected from an outfit like Zero Gravity. Buffeting is greatly reduced and visibility behind it is great.
I highly recommend getting one of these.
While installing just barely pushing windscreen bushing on and bottom corner of windscreen broke right off,would not trust this plastic with any kind of strike,wasted $99 on this,reinstalled original windscreen
Great product. You need to use the rubber mounting nuts from your stock windscreen or contact Zero Gravity for the additional hardware.
Had one on my gen 2 zx10...n love this one as much on my gen 3. Can still c out of it during day and its a lil taller than stock and the dark smoke looks black but is still easy to c thru in daylight.
The fitment on with this windscreen is excellent. The screen has excellent shielding from the wind and is aesthetically pleasing to my eye. ***Side note***I received the screen with a broken mounting tab due to shipping. Motosport listened to my concerns, let me keep the broken screen, and reshipped me a new screen free of charge. Now that's customer service at its best!!!
looks aswome on the bike 10 times better A+
I got this because of the 'Bubble' shape, for more wind protection than the stupid aftermarket shield that came on my bike. I was hoping for a little more height on the bubble, but I am satisfied with the added wind protection. And I can actually read the top of the tach. It fit just fine and looks much better. And Motosport got it here in 2 days, as is usually the case when its in stock.
I put this on my yamaha fz6r to try to get out of the wind a little more and it did just that. I even noticed a little better gas milage when I fill up. It was very simple to put on, it took no longer than 2 min.
fit perfecty on my 07 gsxr600. made of quality material. i want to buy a clear one for the track though. better wind protection over stock!
Very high quality! Perfect fit!
Great product, fast ship times and low price. Really sharpens up the fron end of my 2008 R6. Thanks Motosport!
Much better than stock if you are looking to get out of the wind a bit more
I switched from a Puig to the Zero Gravity DB because I noticed it had a taller profile which I thought would translate into a taller slip stream and less helmet buffeting. I was right. Being a six-footer this sort of thing always comes into play riding a sport bike. The fit and finish of the Puig may be a bit more refined down to the decal, but in practical terms the ZG Double Bubble works better for me.

Infrastructure Giants Team up for $8 Billion Severn Trent Approach
Colleagues over at Private Equity News have revealed that Canadian infrastructure investor Borealis, the Kuwait Investment Authority and the UK's Universities Superannuation Scheme have formed a consortium to mount a potential £5.3 billion ($8.1 billion) bid for FTSE 100-listed water company Severn Trent, according to people familiar with the situation.
The shares rose 19% on the news.
Private Equity News and Financial News reporter Kiel Porter writes that Borealis – the infrastructure arm of the Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement System – and KIA have been leading an offer for Severn Trent, according to three people with knowledge of the deal. Severn Trent supplies water to millions of people in the Midlands of England and some areas of Wales.
Severn Trent said in a statement this morning:
"The Board of Severn Trent announces that it has received an approach with a view to making a proposal from a consortium made up of Borealis Infrastructure Management Inc., the Kuwait Investment Office and Universities Superannuation Scheme Limited (together, the "Consortium"). This may or may not lead to an offer being made for Severn Trent."
Private Equity News reports that two of those sources said that the consortium – which is being advised by Deutsche Bank – last week indicated to Severn Trent that Borealis and the KIA would be willing to offer between £22.50 and £23.00 a share for the water giant.
Severn Trent shares closed last night at £18.25, giving the company a market capitalization of £4.35bn. Shares were trading at £21.12 this morning.
Deutsche Bank declined to comment while Borealis and KIA did not respond to requests for comment in time for publication.
Severn Trent said in its statement that the consortium is required to make a formal bid by June 11th or walk away, according to the U.K. Takeover Code.
