Each year, proceeds from the Father-Daughter Gala are donated to local non-profit organizations to support their mission and, in many cases, to provide scholarships for deserving students at local colleges and universities. Paine College was among several organizations that received a donation.
"No gift is too small or too large," said Dr. Samuel Sullivan who received a check from local business owner Robert O'Neal in the amount of $1,000. "This show of support demonstrates that Paine College is a sound investment and remains at the heart of the community," said Dr. Sullivan, Interim President of Paine College.
The College launched the Build it Back Campaign in November 2015 to meet immediate and critical needs of the Institution. During the 2016 Founders' Day and Homecoming celebration, the Vice President of Institutional Advancement Sunya L. Young announced that the Campaign had reached over $460,246 and is ongoing.
Mr. O'Neal is President and CEO of The O'Neal Group, Inc. and agency owner of Bob O'Neal Insurance Agency, Allstate Insurance Company. Mr. O'Neal, the brainchild behind the Father-Daughter Gala, said his daughter introduced him to a similar event in 2007. He was so impressed with the experience and the time shared with his daughter that he was led to create the Father-Daughter Gala and Dance that is traditionally held on Fathers' Day at Legends Club in Augusta. "Although Allstate Insurance Agency is the official host of the Father-Daughter Gala, there are many people in the background who work diligently to make the event a success," he said. "Under the auspices of OuiCare International, Inc., we provide financial resources to support the mission of local charities while helping to strengthen the bonds of the family that lend to stronger communities."
"This event has, in many ways, become a ministry for me," commented Mr. O'Neal. "In its ninth year, the event has touched many lives and helped to improve relationships between fathers and their daughters." There are no age limits, religious or ethnic boundaries. I've witnessed grandfathers and granddaughters take to the floor awkwardly and emerge with pure confidence and joy. Improving relationships between fathers and daughters is at the heart of what we do and that is what makes our work special."
"We are grateful to Robert O'Neal and appreciative of the Augusta community, alumni and friends who continue to support the College. "Paine, accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC), is on Probation and will have to demonstrate to the SACSCOC Review Team that it is fiscally stable during its spring 2016 review. I am appealing to the College's constituents to give generously.

AUGUSTA — Crystal Smith, associate minister at the Historic Tabernacle Baptist Church and author of two books including the latest book titled "The Centered Woman: Focused, Beautiful, Happy" will be the speaker for the Paine College Lecture Series kickoff.
Smith's lecture will be at 6:00 p.m. Tuesday, January 19, in the Multipurpose Room at the Paine College HEAL Complex. The event is free and open to the public.
As a highly sought after speaker, Smith has traveled nationwide teaching the word of God. Smith's passion for helping women led her to write books that focus on finding your purpose and healthy living.
"We are very excited that Mrs. Smith's lecture will serve as the speaker for the kick-off of our new lecture series," said Leadra Collins, Director of Institutional Development. " The Paine College Lecture Series will give the community the opportunity to interact with leading members of Paine College faculty, scholars, community leaders, and leaders in business."
Continuing his support of Paine College, singer, songwriter, music producer, pastor, and actor, Deitrick Haddon, will perform a benefit concert in the Paine College HEAL Complex on Friday, January 15, 2016, at 7 pm.
The concert organized by former Painenite and founder of Soul Note Entertainment, Javen McCaster, is McCaster's way of helping to build back Paine College. "Paine College is a historical institution that has provided a first class education for all students," said McCaster. "It is a privilege to give back to the college that has given us educational excellence."
Haddon voiced his support for Paine College before the "Build It Back Rally" fundraiser in November while promoting his latest album titled "Masterpiece" last month in the CSRA at local radio stations. When McCaster asked Haddon if he would take part in a concert to help save Paine College, Haddon replied that he would love to be involved with such a worthy cause.
In addition to Deitrick Haddon, the concert will feature award-winning Miles Mealing & Nu Movement and national recording artists JJ Hairston & Youthful Praise along with at least two additional acts.
A portion of proceeds from the concert will go to the Paine College "Build it Back" fundraising campaign.
Tickets can be purchased at Beulah Grove Baptist Church Resource Center, Pyramid Music & More on Broad Street or online at http://bit.ly/DeitrickHaddonPainetickets.
Paine College will host a memorial service for Silas Norman Jr., M.D., on Friday, October 23, 2015, at 3:00 p.m. at Gilbert-Lambuth Memorial Chapel on the Paine College campus. Dr. Norman died in the early morning hours of July 17, 2015. He was 74. Dr. Norman was appointed to the Paine College Board of Trustees in 2009 and later elected Chairman of the Board until he vacated the position in 2014. The public is invited to attend the memorial service.
A 1962 graduate of Paine College and a longtime member of the faculty, Norman served as the president of the Paine College National Alumni Association. As a student, he was president of the Paine College student body, head of the Student Non-violent Steering Committee, and the chairman of the NAACP statewide student chapter. When students decided to boycott buses in Augusta, Norman led the student movement in Georgia. He was the first one to set foot on a segregated bus and was among five students who were arrested. He and the other students filed a lawsuit against the City of Augusta and the bus company. They won the lawsuit and, as a result, segregated buses were outlawed in Augusta and in the state of Georgia.
While attending Paine, in addition to being a scholar, Norman was also a student-athlete. He played the position of center on the Paine College football team. In May 2015, during Paine College Alumni Reunion Weekend, Norman was inducted into the Paine College Athletics Hall of Fame.
After graduating with a bachelor's degree in natural sciences from Paine College, Norman entered Wayne State University School of Medicine in Detroit, MI as a medical student, graduating in 1976. He completed his internship and residency in Internal Medicine at Detroit General Hospital.
Dr. Norman was engaged in every aspect of WSU School of Medicine life. An assistant professor of Internal Medicine at WSU, Norman was appointed assistant dean for Admissions in 2003 and associate dean for Admissions, Diversity, and Inclusion in 2010.
Medicine was Dr. Norman's ministry; whether providing care to prisoners, the underserved and uninsured, or expanding opportunities in medicine for underrepresented people, he always cared beyond himself. He was an outstanding leader, physician, mentor, and friend, beloved by many.
Dr. Norman served as a consultant to the Detroit Health Care for the Homeless project and the Detroit Department of Health and Wellness Promotion, working to see that thousands of uninsured and underserved people received much-needed health care. He was chair of the Detroit-based Community Health Awareness Group Inc., an organization dedicated to supporting individuals affected and infected with HIV and AIDS. His commitment to social and humanistic medicine also led him to serve as the chief medical officer for the Michigan Department of Corrections and medical director for the Wayne County Jails. A medical suite at the State Prison of Southern Michigan in Jackson, MI is named after Dr. Norman.
He was the recipient of many awards and honors throughout his illustrious career, including being named a recipient of the WSU School of Medicine's Trailblazer Award in 2010. This distinguished award honors outstanding alumni and faculty who have made substantial contributions and demonstrated courage, initiative, innovation, risk-taking, and leadership. In 2011, during the commencement ceremony, Dr. Norman received the WSU School of Medicine's Distinguished Service Award for having served the school with distinction for more than 25 years and for being a driving force for diversity, fairness, and compassion for the underserved.
Dr. Norman was reserved about such recognition. "To be honored for the service that we give is a distinct privilege and an honor. I think the opportunity to do this work is really a privilege. The community has a right to expect us to give some service," he said upon receiving one of his many recognitions.
Dr. Norman lived a life dedicated to social justice and worked endlessly to ensure basic human rights for all persons, especially those individuals who did not have a voice. He lived modestly, avoiding a typical doctor's lifestyle and gave generously to the institutions and causes in which he believed. Dr. Samuel Sullivan, current interim president of Paine College noted that, "Dr. Norman's unwavering dedication to his profession and community presents a 'service above self' model for all of us to emulate and aspire to. At Paine College, we honor his legacy by continuing to prepare students for meaningful careers and community engagement."
Dr. Norman loved music, the arts, and traveling. Anyone who had the good fortune to hear Dr. Norman sing knew that he had a voice that rolled like thunder. He lent his musical talent to Detroit's critically-acclaimed Brazeal Dennard Chorale which won gold and silver medals at the 2012 World Choir Games.

This donation will go toward helping families staying here," said Henrietta "Lois" Hayes, Vice President of the Paine Staff Association. "Samantha Tarte's wonderful personality is an attestation to the warm, friendly atmosphere that Ronald McDonald House provides. The experience resonated with the staff members. It is a blessing be able to help those in need."
"We would like to thank the Paine College community for their contribution to aid in this cause. Please, keep those tabs coming! It's a small way of making a big difference in the lives of others. A very special thanks to Ms. Wanda Brock and Mrs. Vonetta Flowers-Hinton for assisting with the delivery of this donation," said Hayes.
Volunteer opportunities are always available to provide a helping hand. These can include planning and coordinating activities, cooking a meal for the families, being part of the spring cleaning crew.

Dr. Samuel Sullivan, Interim President, on behalf of the Paine College Board of Trustees, Administration, Faculty, Staff, Students and Alumni, announces the passing of Dr. Silas Norman Jr., Past-Chairman of the Board of Trustees, dedicated alumnus, civil rights activist and philanthropist. Dr. Norman was appointed to the Paine College Board of Trustees in 2009 and later elected Chairman of the Board until he vacated his position in 2014.
Having graduated from Paine College in 1962, Dr. Norman passed away Friday morning, July 17, 2015 after an extended illness. Funeral arrangements have been finalized and are reflected herein.
On the passing of Dr. Norman, President Sullivan said, "I am deeply saddened by the news of Dr. Norman's passing. The short time that I knew him was more than enough for me to come to know of his great love for Paine College and his deep commitment to making things better for all who choose to study and work here. His presence will be sorely missed."
Numerous reflections poured in from Alumni and friends upon hearing of Dr. Norman's passing. Ms. Annie W. Rogers, President of the PCNAA, commented, "The Paine College National Alumni Association regrets the passing of a loyal and dedicated Paineite and a Past-President of the Association. We will forever remember and cherish his service to the PCNAA."
"Dr. Norman, one of our many giants in the history of Paine College, is a hero among heroes," said Dr. Mallory Millender, Paine Historian, classmate and friend. "His outstanding work is not limited to the history of Paine College. He is one of the nation's unsung heroes. He took that same passion that he demonstrated at Paine College as a student leader to Selma, Alabama to Mississippi and to other places in the country. He took that passion to Wayne State University where he served as associate dean of Admissions, Diversity and Inclusion."
Reflecting on Dr. Norman's student leadership, Dr. Millender said, "He led the student movement in Georgia. As president of the Paine College student body, he was head of the Student Non-violent Steering Committee (SNCC) and the Chairman of the NAACP statewide student chapter. When the students decided to boycott the buses in Augusta, Silas was first on the bus and he was among five students who were arrested. Silas and the others filed a lawsuit against the City of Augusta and the bus company. The upside of that was they won the lawsuit and as a result the segregated buses were outlawed in Augusta and in the state of Georgia."
In May 2015, during the Paine College Alumni Reunion Weekend, Dr. Norman was inducted into the Paine College Athletics Hall of Fame. He played in the position of Center on the Paine College Football Team during a time when the College did not offer athletic scholarships. His family and many friends were present to accept the award in his absence.
Dr. Norman, a 1976 graduate of the Wayne State University School of Medicine, received its Trailblazer Award in 2010. The award honors outstanding alumni and faculty who have made substantial contributions and demonstrated courage, initiative, innovation, risk-taking and leadership.
A driving force for diversity, fairness and compassion at Wayne State University, Dr. Norman received the School of Medicine's Distinguished Service Award for having served the school with distinction for more than 25 years. According to Dr. Valerie Parisi, a colleague, "Dr. Norman exemplified a notable quote by Albert Einstein: Only a life lived for others is worth living." "He had overseen one of the most diverse student bodies in the United States."
A medical suite at the State Prison of Southern Michigan in Jackson is named after Dr. Norman, who served as the facility's medical director. His commitment to social and humanistic medicine also led him to serve as chief medical officer for the Michigan Department of Corrections and medical director for the Wayne County Jails.
He served as a consultant to the Detroit Health Care for the Homeless project and to the Detroit Health Department, working to see that thousands of uninsured and underserved people received much-needed health care.
In 2000, Dr. Norman received the Alumni Achievement Award from the United Negro College Fund. During the same year, the Wayne State University Organization of Black Alumni selected him for its Alumni Achievement Award. Also in 2000, the Michigan Department of Community Health presented him with the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials Vision Award.
"We will miss his rich deep bass voice that rolled like thunder," said Mildred N. Kendrick, Paine College Director of Alumni Relations. "Silas supported this College generously with his financial gifts and service. Many of our graduates were the beneficiaries of his generosity and financial support."

Reflections from the Paine College Community
"I am deeply saddened by the news of Dr. Norman's passing. The short time that I knew him was more than enough for me to come to know of his great love for Paine College and his deep commitment to making things better for all who choose to study and work here. His presence will be sorely missed." - Dr. Samuel Sullivan, Interim President, Paine College
"Dr. Silas Norman Jr, One of Paine College shining stars who will be greatly missed. May flights of angels see him to his rest." - Ed Fordham, VP, PCNAA Sunshine State Chapter
"The Paine College National Alumni Association regrets the passing of a loyal and dedicated Paineite and a Past-President of the Association. We will forever remember and cherish his service to the PCNAA." - Annie W. Rogers, President, PCNAA
"We will miss his rich deep bass voice that rolled like thunder." "Silas supported this College generously with his financial gifts and service. Many of our graduates were the beneficiaries of his generosity and financial support." - Mildred N. Kendrick, Paineite, Director of Alumni Relations
"Silas and I were classmates, and we worked very closely together at Paine during the "Sit in Movement", and many more areas of community services in Georgia & South Carolina. It is ironic that I was looking at pictures this week, and cleaning out my historical items. My prayers to the Norman family & Paine Alumni. We have lost a "Giant of a Man." - Johnnie Maude Lewis-Thorpe, Paineite
"I am saddened by the passing of my lifetime friend and childhood neighbor, Dr. Silas Norman, Jr. Silas and I grew up as neighbors on Forest Street in Augusta, Georgia, during our early childhood and through our college years. As students at Paine, we walked to and from Paine together with other friends, Charlie Pryor '63 and Ronnie Beard. In addition, the four of us were members of the Paine College Chorus and Concert Choir. After rehearsals we would walk home together and when the Concert Choir returned from a trip, we would ride home together with a family member to one of us. Silas was a great student leader for us, especially during the 60's which included planning and implementing demonstrations and sit-ins on the city busses and downtown lunch counters. His leadership during these activities was significant and resulted into desegregation in many areas of the city of Augusta.
Silas will be missed tremendously, particularly by the Paine College Alumni as well as those of us who were his dear friends. My prayers go out to his family and all others he cherished and loved. He was a very special man to many of us and will be remembered specifically for the outstanding life he created and lived." - Tanya Bryant Patton '63 (Chicago Illinois)
"Condolescenses to the family of Dr. Silas Norman and the Paine College family who will miss him and his efforts to save our Historically Black institution!" - Prayerfully, Dr. Emma McCain
"The days of our lives may take us far from our humble or majestic beginnings, but what we experience along the way deposits within the deep and infrequently explored recesses of our minds many treasured memories of those who inspired, motivated and nudged us onward and upward. Among my treasured memories are my recollections of the resonant tones of a confident and self-assured young man who prompted me to give thought to what I might do to enhance myself as a person while also endeavoring to enhance the world beyond myself. That inspiring young man was Silas Norman. I, as do so many others, mourn his passing." Sincerely, Lynda (Ezzard) Vaughn Ed.D
Paine College Assistant Professor of Biology Dr. Gabriel Swenson received a $193,000 grant for the project "Seasonal Mobilization and Acid Stress Response of Opportunistic Enteric Pathogen Communities in Freshwater Ecosystems."
This grant through the National Science Foundation's Historically Black Colleges and Universities Undergraduate Program (HBCU-UP) Research Initiation Awards (RIAs) will provide Paine College undergraduate students with advanced skills in environmental science and allow the College's Education majors to develop an online teaching module for area high schools.
According to the abstract, the research will investigate the seasonal affects of "physicochemical factors influencing pathogen community composition and environmental elicitation of acid stress response (ASR) in an aquatic watershed." The findings from this study may shed new light on how these seasonal events could be related to diseases (I.e. Cholera) in humans.
The project primarily focuses on investigating two aspects: characterize the role of rainfall events in mobilization of sediment-associated bacterial communities into a seasonal wetland; and characterize ASR elicitation of the bacterial community within a wetland and riverine system.
Swenson has been a faculty member of Paine College since 2006. He earned a doctorate in Biological Science from the University of South Carolina with an emphasis in Microbial Ecology.
On July 13th, Paine College will be a host site for a White House Conference on Aging (WHCOA) watch party. This decennial event gives older adults, families, caregivers, advocates, community leaders, and experts in the aging field the opportunity to discuss their vision for aging in the next decade. Over the next 15 years, thousands of baby boomers more will reach retirement age. They will help redefine how we see aging in America. This event gives the nation the opportunity discuss issues that matter to seniors. The audience will be able to engage online as the President and other senior Administration officials headline this event. Please join Paine College for the watch party on Monday, July 13th from 10:00 am – 5:00 pm. Watch in person in Haygood-Holsey Hall in room 220 on the Paine College campus or via live streaming by following this link: https://www.whitehouse.gov/live

Large Piece Of Twa Plane Recovered
Sun., Aug. 4, 1996
Divers in the TWA Flight 800 recovery effort mined a mother lode of wreckage Saturday, retrieving a huge double-decker chunk of the plane - complete with seats, windows, even a coffeepot.
The 40-by-60-foot piece of airplane - 15 windows long - was brought ashore by barges only hours after several other large, recognizable sections of fuselage were unloaded - one with the red-and-white TWA markings clearly visible.
On Friday, the plane's sunken cockpit was located; officials expected to spend most of the weekend surveying it in preparation to raise it. Also recovered Friday and Saturday were seven more bodies, bringing the total number of victims recovered to 191.
Although investigators suspect a bomb caused the Paris-bound plane to explode July 17, killing all 230 people aboard, they have yet to come up with conclusive evidence. And they have not completely ruled out the possibility of a mechanical malfunction.
"We have yet to get to the point that we have a critical mass of information to make a determination," said James Kallstrom, the FBI agent in charge of the probe.
Tests for chemical traces of explosives have so far yielded nothing. But Kallstrom said some fragments of the plane are still being tested for bomb residue by sophisticated equipment in Washington, D.C.
Any debris that could bear chemical traces of a bomb is initially tested by a portable machine in a hangar in Calverton, N.Y., where investigators are reconstructing the aircraft bit by bit. Promising fragments are transported to Washington for more sophisticated tests.

Identification of RACK1 and protein kinase Calpha as integral components of the mammalian circadian clock.
Department of Neurobiology, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA 02115, USA.
At the core of the mammalian circadian clock is a negative feedback loop in which the dimeric transcription factor CLOCK-BMAL1 drives processes that in turn suppress its transcriptional activity. To gain insight into the mechanisms of circadian feedback, we analyzed mouse protein complexes containing BMAL1. Receptor for activated C kinase-1 (RACK1) and protein kinase C-alpha (PKCalpha) were recruited in a circadian manner into a nuclear BMAL1 complex during the negative feedback phase of the cycle. Overexpression of RACK1 and PKCalpha suppressed CLOCK-BMAL1 transcriptional activity, and RACK1 stimulated phosphorylation of BMAL1 by PKCalpha in vitro. Depletion of endogenous RACK1 or PKCalpha from fibroblasts shortened the circadian period, demonstrating that both molecules function in the clock oscillatory mechanism. Thus, the classical PKC signaling pathway is not limited to relaying external stimuli but is rhythmically activated by internal processes, forming an integral part of the circadian feedback loop.

We should mention
Parents or a legal guardian traveling with children under 18 years must present the child's birth certificate and an identity card with photo (passport, for example) at the check-in. For international travels from Brazil, if just one of the parents is traveling with the child, she/he must present – in addition to the child's certificate of birth and identity card with photo – a letter authorizing the trip signed by the other parent with a notarial certification of signature. In case the parents or the legal guardian, as applicable, cannot or are unwilling to give this authorization, a judicial authorization is required. People who intend to travel to Brazil with children must consult with the Brazilian consulate before traveling for more information. Reservations are required for massage services and spa treatments. Reservations can be made by contacting the hotel prior to arrival, using the contact information on the booking confirmation. One child 6 years old or younger stays free when occupying the parent or guardian's room, using existing bedding.


text: I am helping a buddy install a system at his new place and was at his house Sunday flagging for heads and painting where he needs to trench (because I'm not digging anything on it). He lives right along and belongs to this country club golf course. Well a guy came walking up that Mark knew, and the guy is actually the brother of the builder of this new house. So Mark told him what we were doing, and he said that he was a "sprinkler guy" as well. Then asked what heads we'll be using. I told him 1804s and either 5004s or PGPs. He asked why not Toro? I told him Toro is crap and repair more of it that anything else and I would never install anything named Toro. He tells me he's installed Toro for 20 years. I told him I've been repairing/replacing Toro for 15. And that was about the end of it. He was looking at me like I am some punk kid who doesn't know squat. Granted, I do look younger than my age, especially with a new haircut and just shaved.

problem after changing of GPU
in the last weeks my old gpu ati 4600 done a lot of problem in my pc. after few days
the monitor blinks and there was no screen. i check the card and he was ruined.
a friend gave my nvidia 8500 gt card. the problem was that the drivers of
ati was still installed in win7. when i plugged the card to pc the windows
freeze in the screen of win7 boot. so what i did i install win7 on the exist system
in order to enter windows. now the problem i have new windows that work and
old windows folder with all windows and all my data that i need. i can access
to files and buckup them but i prefer to enter the old windows with all my data and software and somehow to delte to old ati drivers that it will not freeze in the boot.
how can enter the old windwos 7 with all my data and files?
|My System Specs
|07 Oct 2011
Windows 7 Professional SP1 32-bit
You can't...you installed Windows over itself which automatically moved all existing files into windows.old. You can't undo this.
You would probably have been able to boot Windows in safe mode or with VGA only and then uninstall the ATI drivers. Unfortunately it seems you went ahead of yourself and reinstalled it over itself, and now it's too late You will have to go through the windows.old folder and retrieve your personal files manually.

here is the situation with my Nexus 4:
* Android 5.0.1
* rooted
* can't access via adb while in bootloader (I tried everything I found over the Internet... uninstall/reinstall driver, tried another port, another computer, another OS, etc.)
* device not recognized when I use the "ADB sideload" option of TWRP (In Windows device manager I see "Nexus 4" with a yellow mark but I haven't been able to find a driver for it)
I want to upgrade to Android 5.1.1 (and won't go further), but how?? since I can't do the OTA update (because of TWRP) and I can't flash the Google official image (since I can't access while in bootloader)...
I don't care if I need to wipe everything, my backups are up-to-date (nandroid + Titanium).
Does anyone has an idea?
I can access to my device from Windows via ADB commands only (not convenient but it works).
Thanks a lot.

Items you will need
- Ginger roots
- Plastic zipper freezer bag
- Plastic airtight container
- Wax paper
- Paper towels
- Knife
- Pen
- Plastic wrap (optional)
- Cheese or vegetable grater (optional)
Ginger has been used in Asia and the Middle East since ancient times as a cooking spice and healing herb. If you are using fresh ginger for tea or in recipes, you may already know that a little piece goes a long way.
According to the Mayo Clinic, ginger is a healing remedy for nausea, cold, flu, arthritis, diarrhea, painful menstruation, heart conditions and cancer. Knowing how to store ginger properly in the freezer will keep it fresh whenever you want to use it to flavor food or as a healing remedy.
Wash your ginger roots before freezing. Pat them dry.
Cut off a piece of ginger you know you would be using in the near future. Wrap this piece in paper towels and seal airtight in a plastic storage bag. Store in the refrigerator up to about three weeks.
Wrap the rest of your unpeeled ginger roots in wax paper, then place them in an airtight freezer storage zipper bag. Press all of the air out before zipping. Date and label the bag.
Freeze ginger roots for three to four months. The parts you use will be a little mushy as time goes on, but the quality and flavor still remains.
Peel, slice or julienne ginger for freezing as an option. Wrap the pieces securely in plastic wrap, then place them in a plastic freezer bag or plastic, airtight container. Date, label the container and freeze.
Purchase fresh ginger root in the produce section of the grocery store. Choose ginger with a pinkish, smooth skin, few knots and a spicy fragrance.
Grate or slice the amount of frozen ginger you need for a recipe or for tea. Thawing frozen ginger is not necessary. Place the rest of the root back in the freezer bag and seal.
Slice part of a small piece to make yourself a hot cup of delicious, spicy tea.
Grate part of a ginger root to add flavor to baked sweets and to season your sauces, meats and vegetables.
Use a cheese grater or an Asian ginger grater to grate the amount of frozen ginger root you need.
Scrape the ginger peel off easily with an edge of a spoon, without wasting any ginger.
Form grated ginger into a long, skinny cylinder, wrap in plastic wrap and freeze. Break off what you need
Freeze juice extracted from fresh ginger root in dry ice to safely rapid freeze it. A 2003 study at the China Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Beijing revealed "The rapid freezing, freeze-drying and spray-drying [of squeezed juice of ginger] are suitable for preservation of squeezed juice of Chinese medicinal materials."
Avoid buying wrinkled, moldy ginger root.
Consult with your doctor before using or eating ginger if you are taking blood thinners, such as aspirin or warfarin (Coumadin).

Can you take it while on antibiotics?
Mucinex - Which supermarkets sell this in uk?
- Asked
- 5 Mar 2014 by Loloteu
- Active
- 27 Jul 2015
- Topics
- mucinex, antibiotic, antibiotics
Responses (1)
The active ingredient in Mucinex is guaifenesin and is available in numerous branded preparations in the UK from both pharmacies and supermarkets. It is not available under the Mucinex brand.
Examples include:
Lloyds Pharmacy Expectorant Adult Cough syrup
Tixylix Chesty Cough
Robitussin Chesty Cough
Nirolex Chesty Cough
Boots Mucus Cough Relief
Guaifenesin is an expectorant and helps clear the chest by loosening and thinning secretions so that they can easily be coughed up. It also has a soothing effect on the throat.
It can be taken with most antibiotics but as you have not named the antibiotic you should check with your doctor or pharmacist first or you could check yourself using this link.

The Board of Licking County Commissioners want to make sure that residents in their county aren't confused with a local organizations plans to build a shelter for the homeless.
The Commissioners said Tuesday that the Licking County Emergency Management Shelter Foundation is so close in name to that of the Licking County Emergency Management Agency that some think the shelter project is connected to the county government.
Commissioners said the Licking County Emergency Management Shelter Foundation in fact has no ties to the county government and that Commissioners do not endorse or support any projects of that corporation.
Commissioners said they've asked the shelter foundation to change their name but the corporations' representatives have declined to do so.

Washington, D.C. - In honor of Black History Month, U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) Director Kay Coles James is mobilizing the OPM recruitment team and employee volunteers to take the message of the noble calling of public service to some of America's best and brightest. OPM is reaching out to Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) and hosting recruitment fairs at universities as part of a broader strategy in which job fairs are being conducted nationwide.
James said: "The President is committed to reaching a broad section of America and ensuring that all American's are provided the opportunity to serve their nation. We must encourage the coming generation to join us in the noble calling of public service." OPM staff identified the schools and are encouraging alumni who work for the Federal government to attend and share their experiences working for America.
This month, OPM will sponsor recruitment booths at Howard University in Washington, D.C. (February 23), Hampton University in Hampton, Virginia (February 19), and Spelman and Morehouse Colleges in Atlanta, Georgia (February 25). At the request of Norfolk State University, OPM will travel there on March 25. At each of these venues, OPM staff will provide information on job opportunities and the process of applying for a position with the Federal Government.
At each location, the newly updated and automated www.usajobs.gov and www.studentjobs.gov web sites will be showcased and assistance provided to students interested in exploring the many opportunities available in the government. Since the USAJOBS re-launch in August, 2003, there have been over 31,701,762 visitors and 354,107 new resumes created. Additionally, for those students interested in a scholarship or grant, the e-scholar link from the Student Jobs website is a key resource.
James encourages students to attend the events, access the many resources available on-line and learn why the Federal Government is "where the jobs are."
In the coming weeks, James is scheduled to host a conference call with HBCU officials nation-wide to encourage outreach to students at their institutions. James said, "This is one of many outreach efforts OPM is engaged in to increase the diversity of the federal workforce."
Our mission is to Recruit, Retain and Honor a World-Class Workforce to Serve the American People. OPM supports U.S. agencies with personnel services and policy leadership including staffing tools, guidance on labor-management relations and programs to improve work force performance.

Alhamdulillah! It is now official. Alhuda Academy has been granted accreditation.
Click here to read the press release and share widely.
All praise to Allah (SWT), the visiting committee gave us very positive feedback before leaving. They especially praised our hospitality, honesty, thorough work, and organization. They were overall very happy with their experience at Alhuda.
We will hear about our final accreditation status in the summer. We'll keep you posted.
I'm very proud of the work of our teachers, assistants, and administrators and ask everyone to make sincere duaa' for them and their families.
I would also like to thank the following people for making themselves available in the past few days:
Daoud Ali, Leila Boudouani, Shahla Ambreen, Linda El-Khatib, Dina Kurdali, Gwen Moselhy, Mohamed Moselhy, Omneya Nabih, Hira Unar, Fatima Vakil, Joanne Vakil, Muhammad Xhemalallari
and everyone else who prepared for and/or attended the Sunday reception. May Allah (SWT) continue to bless our community.
We are expecting five educators to spend four days at the school starting this coming Sunday. This visiting committee will take a tour on Sunday and start interviewing identified people from the Alhuda community. The committee will observe classes and school routines throughout the following days. The visitors will interview teachers, students, and might also approach you during student drop off and pick up times.
We thank the many families who contributed to fund the accreditation work. It was highly appreciated. We ask Allah (SWT) to bless their families and increase their wealth.
Please make duaa' for our school and our community in the coming few days.
Although the accreditation process has been positive in a variety of ways for our school and community, it has also been overwhelming financially.
Please donate ANY amount to this great cause.
We thank Gwen Moselhy and Br. Muzzamil for being the first to donate $100. May Allah reward you and bless your family.
Mrs. DePasse from Saint John's and Mr. AbdurRahman from the accreditation steering committee had a mock tour of the school last Friday, March 5th. Both gave positive feedback about the learning sessions, the classroom organization, the respectful school environment. This was one more step we decided to take in order to prepare our community for the upcoming accreditation visit which will take place in 10 days.
On behalf of our school community, we warmly thank Mrs. DePasse and Mr. Abdurahman for their time and helpful feedback.
We are expecting Dr. Jeanne DePasse from Saint John's High School and Br. Mohamed Abdur-Rahman to visit us tomorrow in the morning. They will both sit in classes and observe teachers and school business in general. This is meant to be a mock visit in preparation for the accreditation visit.
We thank both of them for taking the time out of their busy schedules to help us with this.
By Allah's mercy, the accreditation steering committee has sent out the self-study report in addition to a list of other documents to the Accreditation visiting committee and to the New England Association of Schools and Colleges commission.
This is the result of the work from the last 2 years. Teachers, parents, administrators, community members, and board of directors all participated in making this happen. The report went through many reviews including a review that involved all the mentioned factors of the school.
Please be aware that the next big step in the process of accreditation is the visit which is taking place during the third week of March. We ask you to keep making duaa' for our school and our community.
Alhuda Academy is currently seeking accreditation from the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC). We officially began the accreditation process on April 11, 2008. The NEASC evaluation visit is scheduled for the spring of 2010.
In case you were not able to come last week to Curriculum Night, we have distributed the following update on the accreditation process. Please read on, it's very important that you are informed about this.
Why is Alhuda seeking accreditation?
In the spring of 2008, Alhuda Academy embarked on a great journey in the quest for accreditation. We are seeking accreditation through the New England Association for Schools and Colleges (NEASC), the main accrediting institution in the region. Alhuda Academy's purpose in working toward accreditation is not only to be recognized as an established school in the region, but also to further the progress of the school through quality assurance and school improvement evaluated against a set of recognized standards. Once accreditation is awarded, Alhuda Academy will further benefit from the ability to apply for grants from a wider range of sources.
Who is actively working on the accreditation?
Alhuda Academy created a steering committee which oversees the accreditation process by establishing committees, setting deadlines, and reviewing reports
The steering committee consists of:
Chairman: Mohammad Abdurahman (NE Council of Islamic Schools)
Member: Daoud Ali (board representative)
Member: Nabila Mohammed (administration representative)
Member: Maha Bugrara (teacher representative replaced this year by Nana Abdelkader)
Member: Gwen Moselhy (parent representative)
Member: Amina El-Alami (Principal)
In addition, a number of parents have joined teachers, administrators, and board members on the various committees to investigate the standards.
What standards is Alhuda being evaluated against?
NEASC Commission established fifteen standards of quality assurance that all schools must meet. Each standard has a list of indicators that the standard committee studies. Part I of the Self-Study asks the school to assess itself with regard to each standard and rate its level of compliance.
Standard 1: Mission Statement
Standard 2: School Governance
Standard 3: Student Enrollment
Standard 4: Academic Programs
Standard 5: Students' Experience
Standard 6: School Resources
Standard 7: Early Childhood Program
Standard 8: Residential Program (not applicable at Alhuda)
Standard 9: School Faculty
Standard 10: School Administration
Standard 11: Evaluation and Assessment
Standard 12: Health and Safety
Standard 13: School Communication
Standard 14: School Infrastructure
Standard 15: Accreditation Process
How far is Alhuda from completing this process?
Alhuda's accreditation steering committee is putting the final touches on 11 standards. Three standards are still in the works and are expected to be completed by the end of October.
Phase II of the self-study will be devoted to reflection on all 14 standards, and drawing together ideas for school improvement by identifying areas of priority, highlighting recommendations, and identifying issues for further discussion. A final long-term strategic plan is derived from this phase.
During the third week of March, Alhuda Academy will host a visiting committee of 9 educators. The visiting committee will independently assess and rate the school's compliance. The visiting committee will report its findings to NEASC Commission which will then decide on whether or not to confer accreditation on Alhuda Academy.
What can you do to make this process successful?
Alhuda Academy considers each family an integral part for the success of the accreditation process. Here are some ways you can help support the work:
• Learn Alhuda's mission statement by heart
• Read all updates about accreditation / go to Alhuda's website
• Answer surveys promptly
• Consider participating in one of the committees
• Consider being part of Phase II
• Consider offering support in applying recommendations from the self-study
• Be ready to answer questions from the visiting committee in March
In summary, offer your help and the steering committee will present you with one of its needs. But most importantly, make Duaa' for Alhuda's success in this process.

I got to thinking lately, would Deadpool work more as a TV Show instead of a movie? Then I decided to have some Pros And Cons for a Deadpool Show, here we go:
If you make a movie you have to wait a few years for a sequel or maybe the movie won't even get a sequel! If you make a TV Show, however, you can get way more hours of content than a movie! You can have a Deadpool movie that is 120 minutes or you could have a whole season of a show that has maybe 7 episodes and is 45 minutes each episode which translates out to 315 minutes and there are at least one season of a show each year, and you dont have to wait 5 years for another episode, you only have to wait one week! Also, what else are you going to do on a Monday night?
Sadly, the problem with a weekly TV show is that the budget isn't big enough, you can't have a lot of blood, and you can not say the "F" word without it being bleeped out. Deadpool is not a family-friendly character, without blood, guts, and swearing, it wouldn't be the same. Unless the show is on HBO, Showtime, or AMC, we wont be getting any blood or swearing. Also, with a smaller budget the effects and cast won't be any big names. Now with a show, it can get cancelled at any time, and a lot of times, great TV shows get cancelled (Like Young Justice, Firefly, and Beware The Batman) so the show could suck.
Pros and Cons of a movie series
- Bigger budgets
- Better casts
- Better production value
- Blood, guts, and swearing (if R-rated)
You see, the problem with a possible Deadpool movie trilogy is if one movie sucks, a sequel cant get made and they dont have a chance to fix the damage by making a better film if the studio greenlights it after the disapointment, however with a TV Series if one episode sucks, they have many other chances to make the show better again. Also, you could have 3 movies that are about 120 minutes each, which would be 360 minutes of Deadpool goodness (or terribleness) or you could have a 5 Season show with 7 episodes each, 45 minutes each episode, which would be 1575 minutes of Deadpool.
So what do you want? A Ryan Reynolds big screen Deadpool trilogy or a Deadpool TV Show that goes on for about 5 Seasons starring Joel McHale from Community? (Sorry about the picture in the poll below, I am not great with photoshopping)

Hi Guys,
I am really sorry I haven't been able to write for a long time. Actually I had exam before, now I just joined university that's why I won't be able to write much. Please leave your comments and sorry for grammatical mistakes.
20 May 1940
Anastasia was hiding under the bed, her mom had told her not to come.
She was scared, her hands were trembling, her hands tightened around her chest.
She heard people talking, they seemed to be fighting over something and suddenly she heard gunshots and a piercing scream.
She closed her eyes, she heard the same people talking.
When the voices were gone she came out, she fell on her knees.
Her mother lied motionless on the ground, blood on her chest. She got up and ran to her, "Mom wake up. Wake up." She screamed and shook her mother but no response....
She didn't know what to do....
At that moment the door opened and a man entered......
"Why? Why?" She screamed.
"He was supposed to be mine, not hers. Why? How could he, he had promised me....No, he's only mine and will only remain mine!" She screamed.
"Anastasia my child..." Mr. Belford said.
"No, I want him...." She said.
"He's married and the father of a child. Anastasia if you don't choose your partner, I am afraid someone might come and claim you. You running away is not a solution and neither can you get Roberto, as per vampire law you bide to follow the rules." He said.
Anastasia looked at him and laughed, "I make my own rules and you better know that." She said laughing bitterly.
20 May 1940
"What are you doing alone my child?" Mr. Belford said.
"My mom is sleeping.... shhh....shhh." Anastasia said.
"Come we'll let her sleep my child." He said. He put his hand on her head and said, "You will forget everything...." but Anastasia pushed his hand, "You can't make me forget my mom." She said. "How did you know?" He said then he saw something darkly in eyes, she is not normal he thought, this girl might be the key to defeat Roberto and gain my supremacy he thought.
Mr. Belford knew his daughter was special because she was never human when she grew. She became vampire without transformation but he never told anyone as he knew she was his saving grace. All he thought was happening, after all he was the one who contacted the woman named Sonya and convinced her to take revenge against the humans and vampire. He was the one who formed the vampire slayers and was also the one to create the breach in the vampire and human world. He hadn't expected Mia to fall in love with the human nor the child actually he never expected Mia in his plan. He tried to terminate but he couldn't, Roberto always kept her inside and now she was the queen of the vampire world... Such a humiliation for the vampires; a half-vampire queen, what a shame! Now will start his reign on both worlds....
It has been three years he died and now my child is three years old. Her name is Dawn. Roberto had no objection, and actually he loved her a lot. He knew Dawn isn't his child yet he loves her more than me, he learned the truth two years ago. I never forgave him for killing the man I loved and he knew. To the vampires, we were the ideal couple but in truth we hardly talk to each other. I was starting to like Roberto actually but somehow I could feel something terrible coming soon. I knew Roberto could feel it too. Our aim was to protect Dawn more than our life. Since three years my life changed I had to carry the duty of the queen, to organize party and to assist to vampire ceremonies, my clothes changed, I had to wear long dresses and heavy jewelry and heavily make up.
I never forgot how Daniel died; every time I started to like Roberto, Daniel's face came in front of me, I instantly hated him. My life has been a wreck since his death if it wasn't for my daughter I think I would have gone mad by now. She is the only reason I accepted this drama, else I would never live with my love and Dawn father's murderer.
But yet I cannot stop myself to like him as a father as he is a good father to Dawn. I was sitting in my room, Dawn had just fallen asleep, she wanted to wait for Roberto but she fell asleep. The door suddenly opened and closed, Roberto stood in front of the window, he seemed stressed over something. Unfortunately, I could no longer talk.... "I am worried Anastasia might do something, I promised her I would marry her but I didn't... I know what she can do, she's dangerous, there's that aura around her... I am scared for our little Dawn she just might attack her....." Roberto could read my face. "I know she hasn't done anything but Dawn has that something only you and I know about....." he said sighing. He sat next to Dawn, "I have done a lot of mistakes and foolishness in my life and some horrible sins because I was a man with a tremendous ego but you change Dawn and now I know the pleasure of losing against you my child, my daughter... you transformed a monster into a loving and caring father," he said and kissed her in her forehead.
He got up, "I got an invitation for claiming ceremony the next month I am just scared she might do something. I already contacted our spy, according to her she has refused to do the ceremony before and she thinks if she changed her mind there must be a reason......" he said looking at me. I was worried too. I know, she tried to humiliate me, to harm many times, she is someone dangerous, I look at Roberto. "I don't know but we must find out what she intend to do before it is too late. I think you and Dawn should go somewhere meanwhile.... Why don't you go to Rosemary Manor..." may be it was the only choice remaining...

GALVESTON — Willie T's may sound like it should be a trendy watering hole on The Strand, but it turns out to be a faith-based support system for students that has quite a history on the island under its formal name, the William Temple Episcopal Center. It is now at 22nd and Winnie streets as part of Galveston's Trinity Episcopal Church.
The original William Temple was the Archbishop of Canterbury in the 1940s. A smartphone search will still show the center, named after him at 427 Market St., but that property was a victim of Hurricane Ike. All the center's ministries are now conducted from Trinity's parish hall complex on 22nd Street.
"As rector of Trinity Church, I am thrilled to see it thriving," said the Rev. Susan Kennard. "My husband and I live right across the street, and we love to see students in the center at all hours of the day and night."
Kennard said every Wednesday night, the parish hall is filled with students as the weekly fellowship dinner is served.
Jacqueline Posada is one of the many University of Texas Medical Branch medical students who appreciate the break that the center provides. From the small fridge stocked with soft drinks, fruit and Greek yogurt to the well-stocked coffee bar to the free Wi-Fi and widescreen Direct TV, the atmosphere is more conducive to relaxed concentration than the busy and perhaps somewhat sterile medical school spaces.
"I spend most of my time studying," Posada said. "I spent the first year and a half of medical school practically living in the library, but I found that there is such a thing as spending too much time in that rigid environment so when Tammy Fountain (the William Temple Center's director) offered myself and my friends keys, we all jumped at the chance to have another place to study and spend time together."
Somewhere between the 1960s and the present, the Willie T's name gained currency and now signs proclaim its presence.
The original William Temple probably wouldn't have minded this informal re-christening.
"The church is the only society that exists for the benefit of those who are not its members," he once said.
Willie T's embodies his philosophy by welcoming all for several generations of students.
Fellow student Nicki Piemonte has also bonded here. She said she sees Willie T's as an amazing, extended parent of sorts.
"It sounds ridiculous, but it's like having a surrogate mother," she said. "We have a comfortable space to hang out, get our homework done and have an after-school snack; it's all very maternal — in a good way. It's just so nice, since we're all far away from our parents. I am so grateful for Tammy and everyone else who makes Willie T's what it is."
Despite long hours in class, rotations and study, the students are also involved in countless community outreach efforts according to Kennard.
"These students work hard as volunteers at St. Vincent's House serving the underserved of our community," she said. "This place has such a long and fabulous history on Galveston Island and it is not over — not by a long shot."

Welcome to the first installment of "Recipes my Husband Loves," here on JoyFoodSunshine! In honor of my husband's birthday week, I'll be sharing some his favorite foods! This homemade Pretzel Bread is one of my most requested recipes, not only from my hubby, but also from friends and family. It is dense, soft, chewy, buttery, salty and oh-so-delicious. Since this Pretzel bread is one of my my husband's favorites…I thought it would be fun to let him tell you about it!
So here is what my main man says about this recipe:
Pretzel Bread
- 2 ¼ tsp yeast
- 1 cup warm water 105-110 degrees F
- 2 TBS whole milk
- 3 TBS brown sugar
- 4 TBS butter melted
- 1 tsp salt
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 4 quarts water
- ½ cup baking soda
- Kosher salt to taste
- 2 TBS butter melted
- 1-2 TBS coarse sea salt
Combine yeast, water, and brown sugar in the bowl of your standing mixer fitted with the dough hook. Let stand for 5 minutes (until foamy).
While yeast is proofing…melt butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Mix in milk and set aside.
Once yeast is proofed, add milk/butter to yeast mixture and mix on low speed with dough hook until just combined.
Add salt and flour and mix with dough hook until flour is fully incorporated.
Knead in your mixer until the dough forms a slightly tacky, but firm ball, you may need to add a little more flour 1 TBS at a time, but be careful, you want your dough a little tacky but not too sticky to handle.
Oil a large bowl, place the dough ball in the bowl, and cover with a damp towel in a warm place to let rise for one hour or until doubled in size.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and bring the 4 quarts of water to a boil. When the water is boiling, slowly add the baking soda (Be careful or you will have a baking soda/water explosion)!
Remove the dough from the bowl and gently press out the air bubbles.
Make two balls of dough the same size (NOTE: The total weight of the dough comes out to be about 800 g, so each loaf should weigh about 400 g), forming them into the shape you want (Do not let it rise at all here! Straight from forming the ball into the water). Drop one of the balls into the boiling baking soda water. Boil for 60-90 seconds on each side, turning it once to guarantee both sides covered. Drain the excess water from the dough and place it on an oiled baking sheet.
Immediately sprinkle coarse sea salt over the bread to your specific tastes, and use a knife to cut a small incision on the top of the bread so the dough has somewhere to expand.
Repeat with second ball of dough. (Do not let it rise at all here! Straight from boiling into the oven).
Cook the bread for 22-25 minutes, rotating the baking sheet once.
Once removed from the oven, immediately brush the melted butter over the loaves to guarantee a soft crust.
*You can reheat it on a low temp covered in foil if you decide to make it a bit ahead of time. I cover it with a tea towel or something if I'm not going to serve it right away.
Recipe NotesIf you have a bread maker…just add all ingredients to the pan in the order listed and set it to dough cycle, then proceed to Step 8! You can reheat the bread on a low temp covered in foil if you decide to make it a bit ahead of time. I cover it with a tea towel or something if I'm not going to serve it right away.
I adapted this recipe from one I found on allrecipes.com years ago, and I can't find it now. However, after I did some searching, I believe this is it!
Once you try this homemade pretzel bread you will not be able to really enjoy any other store-bought or restaurant-made varieties again. #sorrynotsorry
Do you make homemade bread? If yes, what's your favorite type to bake? If no, what's holding you back from giving it a whirl?!

— Mary K. Cowen, Anderson's Bookshop, Naperville, IL
September 2009 Indie Next List
"This story of an aging concierge and a 12-year-old girl in an exclusive apartment house in Paris was a huge hit in France. Pithy, erudite, and full of heart, this book should be on everyone's must-read list."
— Lisa Wright, Oblong Books And Music,LLC., Millerton, NY
An enchanting New York Times and international bestseller and award-winner about life, art, literature, philosophy, culture, class, privilege, and power, seen through the eyes of a 54-year old French concierge and a precocious but troubled 12-year-old girl.Renee Michel is the 54-year-old concierge of a luxury Paris apartment building. Her exterior (�short, ugly, and plump�) and demeanor (�poor, discreet, and insignificant�) belie her keen, questing mind and profound erudition. Paloma Josse is a 12-year-old genius who behaves as everyone expects her to behave: a mediocre pre-teen high on adolescent subculture, a good but not outstanding student, an obedient if obstinate daughter. She plans to kill herself on the sixteenth of June, her thirteenth birthday.Both Renee and Paloma hide their true talents and finest qualities from the bourgeois families around them, until a wealthy Japanese gentleman named Ozu moves into building. Only he sees through them, perceiving the secret that haunts Renee, winning Paloma's trust, and helping the two discover their kindred souls. Moving, funny, tender, and triumphant, Barbery's novel exalts the quiet victories of the inconspicuous among us.
