Hello everyone!
Aeternum is the only ICO Mobilizing Platform based on Intellectual Knowledge and Intellectual Property.
Our goal is to create a platform, through which every individual will be able to invest in intellectual property rights of scientists around the world. This platform will be open to anyone owning Aeternum Token not just a select group of investors and no contribution will be too small to reap the return from deep science project realization.
The Real Challenges Today Most crypto currencies are not designed to be supported by real-world assets and are driven by markets that often produce drops. Barriers exist that make the general public start investing in science and intellectual property. Many talented scientists have no space and funds for the development of their ideas.
Therefore we are here to create a Platform for the First World Science which is driven by ICO and we handle the Challenges as follows:
The new crypto currency supported by science beginners who work and their intellectual property in turn generate a constant rise in demand for the currency and therefore increase its value.
Aeterum Fund
Make an investment in this project open to everyone who owns the Aeternum Token. Investments will be made exclusively through BitLats.
Aeternum Finance App
Create a financial application and use BitLats as the core exchange mechanism within a smart city.
Smart City
Create a physical ecosystem for the development of these projects. The exchange of service items within Smart City will be done with BitLats.
Why invest in this project?
Aeternum Token
Tradable and Liquid
Having Aeternum token (ALF) on an exchange with the
backing from market-ready projects will ensure that the value of the ALF token will increase.
Entry Ticket
To participate in the Smart City or Aeternum Fund one will have to acquire Aeternum Token thus driving demand for the token and increasing future token value.
Priority Access
Having an Aeternum Token will guarantee you priority information about the projects we support.be from the Smart City.
Backed by Market Ready Science Projects
Most of the ICOs are driven by non-tested ideas. However, Aeternum Fund will invest in market-ready projects, some of which already have proven market demand.
Value Grows as Profit is Reinvested
25% of return generated by Aeternum Fund will be
reinvested in turn generating greater return in future.
Smart City
We will build a smart city to help the science projects
reach fruition. Part of returns generated by Aeternum
Fund will be from the Smart City.
Market-ready Science Projects in our Fund
Eventech is a "spin-off" from the Institute of Electronics and Computer Science of Latvia (IECS) with a team of 7 professionals operating in Riga, Latvia.
Eventech's core competency lies in repeatable, extremely accurate and environmentally resistant signal processing and interpretation via Analogue to Digital Conversion (ADC). On the ground, Eventech is holding >50% of the SLR market and are recognized by NASA as a standard for this application.
Focused on the development of rapid microbiological diagnostic tests for food and drink industry companies.
Today, for compulsory microbiological safety tests - every food or beverage producer is still using traditional plating methods (Petri dishes), which takes from 24 hours to 5 days.
Diagnostic products, based on our protected innovative technology (EloKIT™ technology by Conelum) is proven to reduce this time to a total of 30 minutes without any compromise on the results in comparison to conventional methods.
Vortex Oil
The production capacity of oil fields drops as hydrocarbon extraction progresses. The output of wells becomes so small as to make operations unprofitable. As a result, oil wells are abandoned with large oil volumes (e.g., up to 65%) left in the producing reservoir.
Our solution extensively improves water flooding technology and can boost oil extraction volume up to 40%.
Why Buy Now?
Only investors that buy ALF tokens until the end of ICO round 1 will receive extra
BitLats via Air Drop as a bonus (every 1 ALF will grant you 1 BitLats)

Rebel with an Oaty Cause
Today I made myself oats for lunch. What's that you say? Oats are for breakfast, not lunch? Yeah, I'm badass like that.
Every now and then I get the urge to throw caution to the wind - to go against the norm, stand up for my taste buds and declare, "I will not let society tell me when I can and cannot eat pancakes or porridge!" This may perhaps be a tad dramatic, but it is a worthy cause.
My oat love prevails as I attempt to increase the prevalence of porridge parties and other oaty occasions. If I am feeling a bit of James Dean behaviour coming on, then I will munch on some carrots, celery or capsicum so that I am not missing out on the fabulous benefits of vegetables, which ordinarily feature in my lunch/dinners. I'm rather the organised, nutritionally responsible rebel ;) Still badass, though. Trust me, offer up pancakes at a dinner party and be prepared to endure abhorrent eyes. Most people just won't appreciate its brilliance. *sigh*
Perhaps one day society will be less judgemental of breakfast battlers like myself, who wish to occasionally celebrate the fabulousness that is oats and other breakfast delights out of the restrictive time-frame that we are currently forced to comply with. Porridge for lunch? Yes please!
Today at lunch I went all James Dean and prepared a bowl of creamy rolled oats, topped with soft and sweet stewed apple, and sprinkled with brown sugar.
It was delightful, and I ate it adoringly and with pride for my deviant oaty behaviour.

This article originally appeared at BBC:
A suspected jihadist car bomb has killed at least 26 Egyptian soldiers at a checkpoint in Sinai, officials say.
The attack took place near El Arish, the main town in the north of the restive peninsula. Three more died in a shooting in the town itself.
The bomb blast is one of the deadliest attacks in Sinai for months. At least 28 more people were injured.
The army has been fighting a campaign against Sinai-based militants, who have carried out a string of attacks there.
The area has become increasingly lawless since President Hosni Mubarak was overthrown in 2011.
Militants further stepped up their attacks after Islamist President Mohammed Morsi was ousted by the army last year.
Security forces have been carrying out an offensive in northern Sinai, killing and capturing dozens of suspected members of jihadist groups.
Many of the casualties from the bomb blast were ferried to Cairo by helicopter.

By Mike Daikubara in Tokyo, Japan
I recently took a 3 weeks trip to Japan to see my family, relative and friends. The main focus was to help my father settle into his new life after losing his mother and wife this spring.
I recently took a 3 weeks trip to Japan to see my family, relative and friends. The main focus was to help my father settle into his new life after losing his mother and wife this spring.
The trip was not all fun but I did have a few moments here and there to slip in a few sketches which is always a great way of relaxing the mind in reducing the stressful situation.
Boston Logan Airport in the past year started offering direct flights to Tokyo! A 13 hour non stop trip beats having to take connecting flights which typically took over 20 hours.
I was looking forward to the Japan Airlines inflight food which was excellent when I took the plane in spring. Unfortunately this time it wasn't very good...
One flight attendant found this sketch to be of interest and asked if she could take this picture to show her colleagues later on. I kind of felt bad that I wrote bad things about the food in the sketch.... oh well, it was at least the truth.
They used to call the airport "Narita New Tokyo International Airport" and while there's 'Tokyo' in the name, the place is actually a good 1-1/2 to 2 hours outside of central Tokyo in Chiba Prefecture. I took the Limo bus into the city which is convenient but still had to transfer into a Taxi finally making it to may fathers home.
Next day early morning, completely jet lagged I decided to get a capture of my parents home. This home was built close to 40 years ago and at one point 6 people lived in here. It's now housed only by my father and he recently renovated the inside to make it a little more convenient to live.
For a short time I once lived in this house too and it brought me back childhood memories.
In Shinjuku a funky building caught my attention. A dark cigar shaped building with lots and lots of white stripes. At first I couldn't tell if there was a rhyme or reason to the stripe pattern until getting close to the building afterwards. The building was 'Mode Gakuen' - a fashion, makeup, design school. Definitely an eye catching building.
1st Sushi in Tokyo. You just can't go wrong in the rotating sushi places in Japan where you can sit there as long as you like picking out your sushi of choice that comes along your way. It's quite a challenge to sketch in the really small space but I managed to fumble around with my sushi plates, beer and my sketch book.
I took an afternoon stroll around the Imperial Palace and was able to get a sketch of one of the gates that used to protect the castle. I found out that this spot was a historically famous assassination location from 1860. This area is now a popular jogging/biking spot.
Meeting a local friend at Ebisu train station, he told me about the hidden sculpture at the station. The Daikokuten sculpture was indeed hidden all the way in the back alley of an employee smoking area. Just couldn't figure out why it was in such a hidden spot.
I've never really watched 'Gundam', but it was a popular animation series which started in the 80's and seems it continues to be quite popular even now. We took a stroll to Odaiba to see the life sized mechanical robot which was quite impressive.
A walking distance to Gundam was the Statue of liberty. It was quite small and reminded me of the one in Las Vegas. I assumed this was a fake version but found out that this statue was officially approved by the French government.
To be continued......

Computer Tid Bits
I haven't sent one of these tid bit emails out in a long long time — this is just a collection of little points that you might find comes in handy.
Server 2008 is indeed out and available. I think I'm going to wait a few months (and I'm just about out of funds for MSFT store purchase, so doubtful I can get a copy for anyone else — I'll probably do the MSDN OS subscription again). Hyper-V has not shipped as of yet.
Service Pack 1 for Vista can be downloaded or you'll get it from Windows Update. If you're updating more than a single machine, download the whole thing (Windows Update will swamp your connection). There are separate packs for 32-bit and 64-bit (you may need both if you have both machines). Also, copy the update file to the local disk (it will need elevated privileges to install).
Virtual Server 2005 R2 can be installed on XP, XP-64, Vista-32, or Vista-64. The management interface requires IIS, so that's a little different with PWS version on non-server platforms. If you have VS installed on a server, you should be able to manage _all_ of your installations from one management interface (though Vista doesn't make that easy).
Google GMail allows you to host your domains for email there for free… you basically get GMail accounts in your own domain. I've moved my mail services over there for the time being (I still archive all my email on my own server at home, but the active send/receive is done via GMail).
Parallels is coming out with a new server (64 & 32 bit) to compete with Hyper-V; I looked at the beta (definitely a beta, but useable), they may be able to get some of the market share — but my guess is they'll get the share from VMware (I didn't care for the Mac-ish look of the product on Windows).
2.5″ SATA disk drives continue to fall in price; Seagate 250GB drives were $104 @ Fry's, and they still had some on the shelf on Monday!!!
Intel hasn't release the most of the 45nm processor family yet; the older Core2 dual and quad processor continue to be a great buy. Remember that really none of the current Intel chip sets take advantage of the higher transfers the newer processors are capable of (well the X38, but that's supposed to have major issues) — so you might want to wait for the next generation of Intel chips and motherboards to hit the market. FYI: Intel delayed the release because AMD missed their ship dates… their new cores had some rather serious flaws
Notebook and desktop memory are nearly on par with each other. You can purchase 2 x 2GB for under $100 (easily — even the really fast memory). $60 is actually the low price and $80 get's you high quality with heat spreaders (notebook memory doesn't have heat spreaders — no room). 2 x 1GB can be purchased for $40!!!

text: Paul Reubens was on Kimmel to promote the new Tron animated series, so parents can recommend it to their kids, I guess. But in the clip above, Kimmel does cut to the chase and gets an update on the long-rumored Apatow produced Pee-Wee movie. As he says, the script is done and they're looking to shoot in September, October, November, which are all soon months. Though, as you can see in the clip below, Reubens admits to frequently lying in interviews, so maybe this Pee-Wee movie isn't happening. Or maybe, the story about lying isn't true. Maybe, nothing is true. But probably everything is, hooray!

As today was scheduled as only a half –day, Roger took the opportunity for some instruction on surveying, followed by a general walk-over.
photo by Alan WilliamsWe started by looking at the 1: 200 scale drawing done last week by Ruth's team, and comparing it with what could actually be seen on the ground. After Roger had instructed us about surveying and the appropriate use of hachures, we looked at the results of the geophys. survey, also done last week. Some very exciting structures could be seen, unfortunately not shown completely in the area surveyed. This means a further survey of the adjacent area next week, of not 7 but 9 x 20m squares!
photo by Alan Williams
As Roger would also like last week's triangulation & off-set survey re-done at a scale of 1:500, together with the rest of the fields, it looks like a busy time ahead - let's hope the weather holds!
photo by Alan WilliamsWe then walked over 'Richard's field' to look at the 'lumps and bumps' there, and after a quick coffee to warm us all up, inspected the field adjacent to the ones we have already looked at, approaching this from Moor Lane. Again there appears to be quite a number of interesting features to be investigated here.
By this time it was 12.30pm, so we adjourned for lunch, with some reluctance as the sun was really pleasant by now.

Obama Lays Out Education Vision
Are our children learning? Speaking to the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce today in his first education speech, President Obama challenged states to boost the quality of reading and math instruction and challenged teachers unions by reiterating his support for charter schools and merit-based teacher pay. According to The New York Times, "The address on Tuesday was the first step in laying out the president's agenda to improve American schools, officials said, with more specifics to be outlined in the coming weeks to Congress. Mr. Obama set a goal of the United States having the highest proportion of college graduates in the world by 2020."

- Yohimbe :: Corynanthe yohimbe
Corynanthe yohimbe
Corynanthe yohimbe is an evergreen tree native to Western Africa, growing to a height of 90 feet (27 meters). A tea prepared from Corynanthe yohimbe bark is used as an aphrodisiac in Africa.
The tea blocks adrenergic receptors, allowing for increased blood flow especially to the areas that matter. The effects of the tea work as an aphrodisiac for both men and women, increasing libido in both sexes and increasing the size and staying power of erections in men.

Liverpool's Dejan Lovren has perjury charges against him in Croatia dropped
A Croatian court has dropped charges of perjury against Liverpool defender Dejan Lovren.
In September, Lovren was charged with false testimony in a trial against officials at Dinamo Zagreb, one of the centre-back's former clubs.
But the Zagreb municipal court "rejected the indictment ... against Lovren," on Jan. 25, according to a tribunal statement, as cited by AFP. However, it added that the ruling can be appealed.
Lovren's Croatia teammate and Real Madrid midfielder Luka Modric was charged in...

I used stainable wood glue to repair the loose veneer, then I used clamps to hold it in place until dry. I used wood filler where the veneer was totally gone. Once the wood filler dried, I sanded it down. It wasn't a totally perfect patch job, but that's okay since I was distressing this piece.
A small portion of the base of one of the doors was worn through so that when the door closed it did not catch on the stopper. Instead the door pushed inward. I had my husband put a length of shoe molding just inside the cabinet doors to act as a stopper.
For the most part, the interior was in great shape. It drives me crazy when I come across a beautiful piece of furniture only to open a drawer and find gum or who knows what stuck to the drawers.
This time I really just had to vacuum out behind the drawers and I wiped down the shelves with pledge. There were a few spots right when you opened the cabinets that needed a little sanding. As far as the interior goes, the silverware drawer needed the most attention.
This drawer was felted in purple. It was stained and dirty. I vacuumed out the drawer and recovered it in black adhesive backed felt found in the craft aisle at Walmart.

ATLANTA (AP) - President Barack Obama is in Atlanta for a fundraiser.
Air Force One touched down around 11:15 a.m. Tuesday at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, and Obama is scheduled to attend an event at the Westin Peachtree Plaza Hotel downtown at 1:25 p.m.
The president is on a two-day, four-state campaign trip taking him into Romney's backyard. He was in New Hampshire on Monday before heading to Boston and then on to Atlanta and Miami on Tuesday.
The three fundraisers in Boston alone were expected to bring in $3 million.

Scott Brownrigg Intranet
The challenge
Scott Brownrigg came to us with an urgent requirement to build an intranet to replace a previous system based on Microsft SharePoint. The new system needed to open up content authoring and ownership to non-technical staff with the minimum of training, as well as integrating with existing staff data (contained in Microsoft Active Directory and Axomic OpenAsset).
The client had a very tight timeline, meaning the whole system had to be specified, built, delivered, tested and launched in less than 2 months.
The solution
The intranet was built to make the most of the client's existing infrastructure, meaning no additional server software was required. The standards-compliant HTML interface is accessible by all staff using a standard web browser.
Extensive personalisation features allow all staff to comment on content, subscribe to and author internal news feeds, edit their profile page and access lists of frequently visited pages. Press coverage feeds displayed directly on the intranet home page allow staff to see external press coverage about the company.
Intranet content is managed by non-technical members of staff via their web browsers. Key features include:
- A Microsoft Word-style rich text editor to write page body text.
- Granular administration privileges meaning author access can be restricted to certain sections of the intranet
- Administrators can be assigned different depth of privileges
- Full versioning and rollback
- Automatic optimisation of images, with easy cropping of images without the need for specialist software
- User favourites
- Page archiving with immediate restore
- Content review scheduling and expiry warning
- Internal news feeds/blogs supports sports clubs and other groups
- A noticeboard to allow staff to post messages about personal events, stuff for sale, flats for rent, etc.
The outcome
The new intranet is available to all client employees via their web browsers. The visual design does justice to an award-winning architectural practise and the easy-to-use interface benefits all staff, without requiring specialist training. The system was delivered, tested and populated within a two-month period over the Christmas holiday season.
Technologies used
Coldfusion MX 8, SQL Server 2008, XHTML 1.0 Strict, CSS, RSS, jQuery. Integration with Microsoft Active Directory and Axomic OpenAsset.

The Crown Chakra will increase your understanding of the cosmos with regular use. It will help give an understanding of life's purpose. It can show the ultimate pleasure - Samadhi.
What are the Chakras?
Inside every human being there is a network of nerves and sensory organs that interprets the outside physical world. At the same time, within us resides a subtle system of channels (nadis) and centers of energy (chakras) which look after our physical, intellectual, emotional and spiritual being.
Each of the seven chakras has several spiritual qualities.

The Coptic Orthodox Bishop of Youth, Anba Mussa, posted on his Twitter account
that he is now in London for medical treatment on account of a heart attack which
he suffered in the wake of the Sunday 11 December bombing at Boutrossiya
church in Cairo, which left 26 dead and 49 injured. Anba Moussa is already under
medical investigation which will resume after the weekend.
The Bishop, who despite his old age is a favourite with the younger generations of
Copts as well as the older one, has taken part in a commemoration ceremony held
at St Mary and St Abra'am church in Brighton in honour of the Boutrossiya
martyrs. Participating in the event was the eldest Coptic priest in the UK, Fr
Antonius Thabet, a number of clergy, and a large Coptic congregation. The
children, together with deacons, performed a number of praises and hymns while
holding candles and pictures of the martyrs.
Anba Moussa gave a word in which he offered his condolences to all, reminding
that the Coptic Church is "the Church of martyrs."
He praised the concern displayed by the Copts in the Diaspora for their mother
Church in Egypt, and their and attachment to it.

Before I made movies, I always thought of festivals as a gateway to having the Weinsteins pluck my movie from obscurity before starting their aggressive Oscar campaign on my behalf. But now I see them as an opportunity to show my movie to an audience and any time I can show my movies to an audience, I feel very appreciative. Unless your film is in one of the top five festivals, there will be no Weinsteins there, no matter how many all-caps, self-inflating press releases you send.
That's totally okay because the people who attend film festivals really love movies. Why else would you show up to watch a bunch of films you've probably never heard of unless you were the type of person who loved to discover new movies? At a time in cinematic history where they're making an ALF movie and continually rebooting superhero franchises, it's nice to know some people still take risks when going to the movies. If you've ever attended a film festival, you are OK in my book. If you've ever organized a film festival, please keep doing it. I hate paying your entry fees, but I'd hate it more if you didn't exist.
So… my second movie, Did You Kiss Anyone?, is playing at the Columbia Gorge International Film Festival on August 18th, 2012 at 6pm. It's in Vancouver. This will be the first time the movie has ever been shown in HD. Ever. Oh, and the whole festival is FREE! And there's some sort of after party with beverages and possibly salty snacks.
Here's the trailer, which (for me) plays like a moving yearbook of memories of the 13 months we spent filming it. We showed it at the Bagdad and the Salem Film Festival and people really liked it, so please come and see it if you're in the Portland/Vancouver area!

Murder of Hrant Dink
Erdogan and Turkish Media Point to "Deep State" Following Dink's Murder
But Turkey's Government is in No Rush to Liberalize Laws in an Election Year
By Emil Sanamyan (Special to the Armenian Reporter)
WASHINGTON, DC – Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan acknowledged that Turkey has not done enough to crack down on what is known as a "deep state" – a reference to an ultra-nationalist mafia encompassing elements of Turkey's government bureaucracy, security forces, and criminal world – believed to be behind much of the past violence in the country.
But as xenophobic outbursts followed the outpouring of sympathy over Hrant Dink's murder, and in an apparent nod to nationalists, Turkish officials said they were not ready to repeal provisions that criminalize "insulting Turkishness" and that had led to the targeting of Dink and other dissidents.
Investigation Points to Conspiracy
It has also emerged that Turkish police were aware of an ultra-nationalists' plot to kill Hrant Dink, but apparently took no action.
The daily Sabah produced a letter sent to police intelligence headquarters in Ankara and to the Istanbul police in February of 2006, which cited a police informant, Erhan Tuncel, reporting that "Yasin Hayal will shoot Hrant Dink."
Both Hayal and Tuncel are under arrest as part of the police investigation into Dink's murder. Hayal has confessed that he supplied the suspected teenage assassin Ogun Samast with money and the weapon used in the murder.
Turkish newspapers had previously described Tuncel as directing Hayal and reported that he was charged with "instigating the killing." Sabah published a photo linking Tuncel to Muhsin Yazicioglu and his ultra-nationalist Grand Unity Party (BBP). Yazicioglu has denied any role in the murder.
Tuncel, however, is unlikely to have been both the main organizer and an informant who told police about the conspiracy to kill Dink. And senior Turkish officials appear to share the public perception of a larger conspiracy that led to the assassination.
The Turkish Daily News cited Deputy Prime Minister Mehmet Ali Sahin, who represented the government at Dink's funeral, as telling Samanyolu TV that police needed to find the real organizers of the murder. "Those arrested boys are straw men to me," Sahin said.
The Turkish government also dismissed Trabzon's governor and police chief. Police officials would not comment on Sabah's allegations. Hayal, Tuncel and Samast are residents of Trabzon, in Turkey's northeast, where another teenager murdered a Catholic priest in February of last year.
Azerbaijan Connection
The Turkish news portal Haber3.com and the Radikal newspaper cited Orhan Dink as saying that his brother was particularly worried about threats from retired General Veli Kucuk, since the latter was previously with the controversial "Intelligence and Counter-Terror Unit" (JITEM) of the Turkish Gendarmerie (internal security forces).
For over a decade, JITEM was in many ways a modern-day iteration of Teskilat-i Mahsusa (Special Organization) that carried out Armenian massacres on behalf of the Ottoman government. JITEM was linked to death squads that targeted Kurdish resistance in Turkey and their perceived political allies inside and outside the country.
The Kurdish Firat news agency published pictures of an Azerbaijani nationalists' get-together in Sweden in 2005, where Kucuk was seen with other Turkish ultra-nationalists, such as Kamal Kerincsiz who repeatedly filed legal claims against Dink and other Turkish dissidents. Both Kerincsiz and Kucuk denied any role in the murder.
The same news agency cites a nephew of Azerbaijan's former Deputy Interior Minister Siyavush Mustafayev, who claimed in 2001 that Kucuk, in cooperation with Azerbaijan, established a "murder network against Armenians." Hayal, one of the main suspects so far, was also reported to have been trained in explosives at a camp in Azerbaijan.
'Deep State' Backlash
As he was charged on January 24, Hayal issued a brazen public threat against writer Orhan Pamuk, who like Dink and others was prosecuted for raising the Armenian Genocide issue.
Just a day after Dink's funeral, the Agos newspaper office received a bomb threat from the "Turkish Revenge Brigade." The same group threatened to bomb the Turkish parliament building in Ankara unless suspects in Dink's case are released and, according to the Paris-based Reporters Without Borders (RSF), ordered the 1998 murder of Akin Birdal, Turkey's then leading human rights activist.
In Gelibolu, just south of Istanbul, a 36-year-old ex-soldier took passengers of a ferryboat hostage in protest of pro-Armenian sentiments broadcast following Dink's murder. In Samsun, where the suspected assassin was arrested, a Turkish protestant church was stoned.
And at a soccer match in Trabzon, where plans to kill Dink were allegedly hatched, fans held some 3,000 banners with nationalist slogans and chanted in support of the local police chief sacked by the government following the murder.
The General Staff Chief of the politically powerful armed forces, Gen. Yasar Buyukanit, complained that foreign diplomats accredited in Turkey attended Dink's funeral, Zaman daily reported. Buyukanit, who issued a statement condemning Dink's murder, was reportedly unhappy in what he sees as foreign 'indifference' to deaths of Turkish military personnel fighting Kurdish insurgency.
No Plans to Repeal 301
Speaking on January 28, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that the government will not propose to repeal Article 301 of the Turkish criminal code, Turkey's NTV reported.
Article 301, along with other articles of the code, limit freedom of expression and have led to the repeated prosecution of Dink, Pamuk, and dozens of other Turkish intellectuals who question the government's policy on the Armenian Genocide and other "sensitive" issues. The European Union and human rights organizations have long called for the provisions to be dropped.
Erdogan suggested that the controversial provisions could be revised and offered that Turkey's civic groups jointly propose amendments.
The Turkish Daily News reported that the Ankara Bar Association has called for a meeting of NGO's to discuss such proposals. The Association's President Ozdemir Ozakman cautioned that NGO's had failed to develop a consensus over the issue in the past. Ozakman told the newspaper that "[The government] is passing the ball …. This is the political responsibility of government. And we will send the ball back."
And no amendments are likely any time soon, as Erdogan is expected to try to replace President Ahmet Necdet Sezer, whose term will be up in May. In November, Turkey will hold General Elections for Parliament, in which all parties are courting nationalist voters.

In the next few days, the Eco Taxi cooperative will begin its services in the city of Loja (south of Ecuador), with 30 units, the first to offer transportation services with fully electric vehicles in Ecuador. "It is a vehicle that does not produce pollution, zero emission ... it has very low or almost no vibration level ... and uses clean energy," said BYD Ecuador representative, Virgilio Benavides, company that supplies the cars, in declarations collected by Ecuadorian news media.
He added that each unit has an autonomy of "300 kilometers, that means that a taxi driver can travel all day without stopping working normally" and can reach a speed of 130 kilometers per hour.
Each of the 30 units that, according to local media, form "the second largest electric taxi fleet in South America, after Bogota", has a cost of around USD 35. 000.
The Eco Taxi cooperative is an idea driven by 30 Ecuadorians returned after living abroad. "We are grateful and consistent with each entity, so that the dream of a group of migrants in search of a source of work becomes a reality," said the manager of the cooperative, Ricardo Costa.

Chinese opt to study, but not stay, in US: report [China Daily]
By JACK FREIFELDER in New York (China Daily USA)
China remains by far the largest source country for foreign students coming to the US for higher education, according to a new report from the Brookings Institution.
From 2008 to 2012, more than 1.1 million foreign students attended school in the US, and China comprised the largest portion of that group, with 285,000 students entering the US with F-1 student visas, showed the new study The Geography of Foreign Students in US Higher Education: Origins and Destinations on Aug 29.
During that time foreign students studying in the US contributed more than $21 billion in tuition and close to $13 billion in living costs to the American economy. But just 45 percent of these students extended their visas after graduation and got jobs in the US.
"Chinese students are coming to the US to study in fields that are highly sought out, and to get the skills to compete in this global economy," Neil G. Ruiz, an associate fellow at the Brookings, who wrote the new study, told China Daily.
"China is special because the numbers are so large, but a lot of foreign students are coming from the newly-emerging cities in China, like Nanjing, Guangzhou, Wuhan, etc," Ruiz said, "so Beijing and Shanghai are not the only cities that these students are coming from because of the high demand for an American education."
The report shows that two-thirds of foreign students are studying in "STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) or business, management and marketing fields," compared to 48 percent of their US counterparts…

Mamaroots Giveaway!
Posted July 25, 2011on:
So, Etsy store and blog Mamaroots is giving away a blue-tailed skink figurine! It's adorable and it's the first time in a while I've been struck with the desire for something that made me willing to go out and tell other people about how awesome it is. Go visit her Etsy store at http://www.etsy.com/shop/mamaroots?ref=seller_info!
It's fall, and thus it is time for 'putting by'- and that means us herbalists as well!
All summer I've been gathering herbs from the mountainside, and now I can proudly look at my counter stuffed with jars of oils, tinctures and dried herbs and think "We can now make it through the winter."
Of course, I also look and say "If only I'd gotten that mullein on time" or "Too bad the first batch of yarrow molded!" but really, my apothecary is full, I have oils made that cost me nothing more than time and olive oil (instead of $11.00 an ounce purchased in a store!) and my first aid kit is stocked.
I have comfrey and calendula salve for the inevitable scrapes and bruises from the icy walkways and the cuts and scrapes from fall yardwork. There's bottles of St. John's Wort oil for aching muscles and damaged nerves, and comfrey oil for reducing scars and helping connective tissues. There's even a comfrey-St John's oil for those aching arthritic joints that the honored elders in my family get when the weather changes! (And for my own aches from old injuries! If only I'd known years ago what herbs could do!)
There's garlic oil for rubbing into feet or dripping into ears. Mullein leaves dried to be burned, incense smudge style, for racking coughs. Yarrow leaf for bleeding wounds, yarrow flowers for diaphoretic infusions for fevers (That means they'll make you sweat and help your body use the fever to it's best ability!) Bunches of dried lavender decorate my tables and windows, filling the house with a rich smell of flowers as well as easing tension and stress.
Of course, that doesn't mean I'm anywhere near done! There's a dozen jars of herbs on the counter waiting to be ground and encapsulated into a woman's balancing blend for my sister, another five waiting to be made into caps for -me-. Dried elderberries are reminding me that I need to make syrup and candies for the long winter months, and my empty nettle jar is telling me I need to get out and find more infusion herbs. I do need to get out and find at least a few mullein flowers, for the inevitable earaches that come every winter to my family of men who won't wear hats, and then the fall cleaning up before things close- flea powder for the carpets, new flea strings for the dogs, and herbal concoctions of baking soda and herbs to scrub the surfaces, vinegar to foam it all up, and then disinfecting with thyme or rosemary.
Pomanders to scent the house over the winter (Those are oranges or lemons with whole cloves stuck into them, sometimes in patterns and sometimes just everywhere, and then let dry. They scent the house with a delicious citrus/clove smell!) Lavender and cedar sachets to protect my clothes from moths…
The list goes on and on, but every day that I look around, I can be satisfied with what I've made- a house free of chemicals, a family in good health with the freedom to choose their healthcare instead of being forced into the trap of 'OTC meds or misery' and the satisfaction of knowing that I made all this with my own hands.
It's a good fall.

Lent: Day 10
Posted February 27, 2010on:
I think I skip sundays, right? Do sundays count in lent?
Today we had two bouts of food poisoning. Jeri left her ham out too long and spent all morning throwing up, and Errant got sick yesterday morning and spent the whole day with cramping and pain.
This morning's remedy: Wormwood tincture. Rosalee de la Foret recommends (on Susun Weed's recommendation) 3 drops tincture in some water every hour until symptoms subside (or four doses). So far, it seems to be working. It's almost time for round two, we'll have to see.
Lent: Day 9
Posted February 25, 2010on:
Spending the afternoon figuring out exactly what herbs I need to take to camp this year. So far, the list is short but efficient:
St John's Wort Oil
Arnica Oil/Gel
Ice Packs
Plaintain Oil/Salve
St John's Wort Tincture
Yarrow Tincture
Healing Salve (make fresh!)
Cottonwood oil/salve
Osha Tincture
So it's not all herbs, but that's a pretty sound first aid kit.
Lent: Day 8
Posted February 24, 2010on:
Hey, look at my bad math!
I didn't herb about today, sorry. It's been an emotional and trying day, not that anything happened. Just emotional.
Um… lets see. I cooked today, but I don't really think that was herbal.
Nope. Nothing. Sorry.
Lent: Days 4-8
Posted February 24, 2010on:
Josh's been sick, throwing up, I was sick, throwing up and then surgery, and Orion was sick. Errant's not sick. yet.
Jerika and I went to the park and saw the new buds, also the marshmallow is coming up in the yard. I added more vodka to the cinnamon tincture, so it can do it's thing. The red-ginseng chips in vodka from last november are nearly colorless now, white instead of red, and the vodka is bold and brilliant ruby.
Otherwise, not much to report. >< So tired.

In the Year 2525, If the West Can Survive
New column for the week, about the crazy-ass sci-fi inspired by the war on terror.
I'm not much of a photographer, but I have pictures of my Ithaca trip up now. Here's my favorite – "the commons," the traffic-free area in the center of town, being guarded by a VW beetle serving as a cop car.
Long, long weekend. Pics-a-comin'.
Rep. Mark Foley (R-Fl.) has been mentioned as a future senator from Florida, but rumors of homosexuality have dogged him every time he mulled the race. I never got why until seeing him on Fox just now.
He makes Liberace look like James Coburn.
There's a video of Foley on one of his sites, but it looks like he crammed some speaking lessons for that shooting day and hasn't kept up with them since.
UPDATE: Some video here. It's not as obvious as what I saw on Fox, probably because Foley was all hyped-up about the "Fuck the Democrats" vote.
What? Again?
I don't mean to turn this blog into a clearing house for stupid things that happen to me, but I get a little closure when I do so. It'd be less noticeable if I blogged on other topics to balance it out. ANYWAY.
I get home from the Take Back America conference yesterday night and plop my two heavy bags on the floor. I fix myself a coke, and eventually knock it over, because that's what I do to drinks in glasses. Hurridly I mop up the coke, but the floor's still wet. Whatever. I'm tired and I go to bed, and I (apparently) knock over one of the bags, because, like I said, that's what I do. I accidentally knock things over.
Wake up, do some things. Realize I left a tape recorder in the bag. As I pore through it, I realize that… everything is soaked with soda. The bag fell on the wet floor and the moisture soaked through the flimsy material. The tape recorder is ok, but the reason I had this bag in the first place was I brought Michael Kazin's "A Godly Hero" to get signed by the author. I now have a beautiful signed copy of the book, stained with sticky brown soda. Again, I managed to spill soda on it without ever spilling soda on it. It was spilled in the final step of a complete Rube Goldberg clutter machine.
Does one ever un-learn being a slob? Or should I just budget some money for the resolution of these daily fuckups and blunders?
Quick recommendation
Over the course of one work out and one round-trip Metro ride, I started and finished Chuck Klosterman's "Killing Yourself to Live." Hell of a book, and Klosterman's first with an honest-to-God narrative instead of assorted, disjointed ramblings. (The ramblings are still there, but they particularly concern locations and women Klosterman encounters and they're actually sorted.)
Speaking of journalism: When using a tape recorder, the odds of being seating right next to (or in front of) a person with breathing problems and/or allergies approach 1:1.
Hell week
Monday-Tuesday: Covering Take Back America conference.
Wednesday: Writing column off TBA conference, co-hosting (sort of) Reason happy hour.
Thursday: Driving to Philadelphia.
Not so much blogging on the radar.
So, does anyone else's toilet overflow and stain the floor with urine like, once a week? Just me?
Rain on the Strawman
Like I said in a Hit and Run post today, I'm fed up with the carping and gloating that follows every piece of news from Iraq. By far the silliest aspect of this, which I didn't mention, is the Strawmanism. Whenever good news about the war breaks, hawk bloggers will spend 90 seconds in a far left forum, post the worst crap, and pat themselves on the back for their investigative journalism. Take Powerline.
How are our friends on the left reacting to the great news about Zarqawi? They aren't happy about it, if postings on Democratic Underground are any guide… These people are lost souls, and it would be easy either to laugh at them or to feel sorry for them, but for their enormous influence within the Democratic Party.
Yes, the enormous influence of Democratic Fucking Underground. I hear half of Hillary's power donors come from that site, and 2/3 of the DNC.

Property Agents
Tell us your requirements and we'll do the hard work in finding the right accommodation! It will only take 30 seconds
Buying and selling property can be one of the most stressful events an individual can face. The uncertainty for buyers over the acceptance of offers, gazumping, completion date etc and the headaches faced by vendors about buyers' commitment, ability to complete or unreasonable demands make for horrifying stories.
Buying and selling property at auction or via auction+ can help both purchaser and vendor to avoid most of the pitfalls associated with property deals because both parties must be prepared to commit on the date of the auction. Auctions are a suitable method of buying or selling all sorts of properties including flats.
From the beginning of 2012 Maguire Jackson has run a regular series of monthly /bi monthlyauctions of selected Birmingham property at the Motorcycle Museum, Solihull or our at our Birmingham City Centre offices. Smaller auctions are being held in our Birmingham offices when smaller lot numbers need selling, & remove the constant need for a large room.
Working In collaboration with leading regional agents Robert Oulsnams , Hunters , Taylors, John Payne,Knight & Rennie,Maguire Jackson clients benefit from using the services of foremost auctioneer Charles Robinson to help vendors secure successful sales
The sales start at 6:30 pm and include commercial, residential stock sold through the Auction+ format
The sale will start at 4.0 pm and will include commercial, residential and further residential stock sold through the Auction+ format (see below)
Auction + is proving to be a very popular arrangement with buyers and is an established format for selling mainstream flats and other properties. Sometimes known as the 'soft auction', the buyer simply puts down £3500 on the day to contract a title insured document. The balance of the deposit is then paid through the instructed lawyers within 28 days and completion follows up to a month later. The buyer does, however, have a cooling off period of 28 days within which time they can serve a withdrawal notice on the vendor if for any reason they do not wish to proceed with the purchase. In this case the buyer will lose their initial deposit.
The environment is therefore less pressured but provides certainty for buyer and seller alike.
Auctions can offer certainty and a focus for selling. The market will determine the price through competitive bidding, avoiding the uncertainty that can occur when one or more valuers might be at variance on a suggested guide price.
Speed can be another positive factor when selling property at auction. Home.com states that the average UK residential property (flats, houses etc.) is on the market for 241 days, so the speedy solution provided by a sale at auction is highly effective.
The twin formats of auction and auction+ provide the buyer with the firm assurance that once the hammer falls, the property is theirs. Equally, there is no backing out, no gazumping, no intervention by agents and no need for conversations or further negotiations with the vendor. The process is simplicity itself

Our expertise extends to our experience with our customers and there is no reason why your auction should not be an enjoyable occasion!
We've chosen the award-winning facilities provided by the Motorcycle Museum to ensure the auctions take place in comfortable, welcoming surroundings. It is easy to access with plenty of parking; just a few minutes from the NEC and Birmingham International Airport at junction 6 on the M42 it couldn't be easier to get to by car from Birmingham, Solihull, Coventry and surrounding area.
If you are thinking about buying or selling a property at auction, why not come along to one of our events and see how it is done! It's the best way to learn and feel at home in the atmosphere.
Please contact our office if you would like to meet our Auctioneer Charles Robinson and discuss the possibility of putting your property into one of our auctions and for Terms and conditions relating to our auction services.
Motorcycle Museum, Solihull
We do think another one will be sold post auction soon.
With the number of tower cranes being counted, rising across the City centre, Birmingham is certainly looking like a City changing shape. The relocation of new staff inwards also continues apace, filling the bigger accounting banking & legal firms with new professionals and those already here are putting down more roots ,with the owner occupy market demand stiffening for well-located lofts and apartments.

I work out on weekday mornings with a group of moms, together with our kids. At the beginning of every class, during warmup, we go around the circle of strollers and introduce ourselves. Name, child's name, child's age. And the instructor will ask a kind of getting-to-know-you question, so we each answer it when we introduce ourselves.
It turns out I'm kind of an oddball. I mean, we knew this. You're all vigorously nodding your agreement. Two examples:
One morning, the question was something like, "Give me one word that describes motherhood." This was the Mother's Day class, and there were probably 30 or so moms there. The answers were things like "blessed", "beautiful", "joy", "love", "amazing", etc. You get the picture. My answer was "sleep deprivation", which, yes, is a phrase, but I followed it up with one word: "teething".
My favorite recent question was, "What magazines do you read?" Hahaha. I stopped taking People and Entertainment Weekly years ago, and, well, we don't read a lot of magazines. The answers were things like National Geographic, Organic Gardening, People, Conde Nast Traveler… you get the picture. And then it was my turn. "We only get Gun Tests Magazine." Well, we do.

Mondays are busy days for the media that covers Wyoming football as that is the day players and coaches are available for interviews.
The best news from Monday was third-year coach Craig Bohl said senior nose tackle Chase Appleby should play Saturday when UW (5-2 overall, 3-0 MW) hosts No. 13 Boise State (7-0, 3-0). Appleby left UW's 42-34 win at Nevada in the first half with a head injury and didn't return. Appleby's been going through concussion protocol, but did interviews with the media Monday, was in good spirits and expects to play Saturday and practice as the week progresses.
Here is UW's depth chart for this week:

Kitchen ideas – on-trend designs to inspire
Decorating design ideas for a kitchen makeover
Updating your kitchen and looking for inspiration? We're here to help with our favourite on-trend ideas to give your kitchen a new lease of life.
Choose between the following five styles:
- contemporary
- Scandinavian
- country
- vintage, and
- industrial
Discover more about the different styles and then click through to learn how to make them a reality. With suggestions on everything from worktops to wallpaper, sinks to storage, we've got every corner of your kitchen covered.
Five hot kitchen design ideas
Get the contemporary kitchen look
Seamless design, clean lines and glossy surfaces define the contemporary kitchen, making it ideal if you're looking for a statement kitchen. This look is all about cabinets with a shiny, gloss finish, bright lighting and chrome accents and accessories to create a gleaming space.
Neutrals, like whites and greys, are popular and look great combined with metallic accessories and appliances. Introduce colour with a vibrant splashback or a single strip of bright cabinets to create a feature amongst all the cool neutrals. Fancy adding more character? Choose bold jewel tones, such as rich reds and moody purples, and use sparingly. This isn't a style that works with too much going on, so keep things streamlined and defined when ramping up the colour.
The same applies to white goods, which should be integrated wherever possible to prevent interruptions in the sleek, coordinated look. Keep clutter at bay with all cooking utensils in their designated places in drawers or cupboards. And if you are going to keep anything out on display, make a feature of it, by hanging it from a rack or placing it on a shelf in a stylish, yet orderly, fashion.
Keen on the contemporary kitchen? Read more of our ideas on how to create this look in your home.
Get the Scandinavian kitchen look
Bright, airy and minimal: the popular Scandinavian-style kitchen blends functionality with style. It manages to be both classic and modern at the same time, almost like a reinvention of the country kitchen look.
The foundation of this look is plenty of clean white alongside bright woods like oak, beech or birch. Bold focal points placed around the room add some interest, but keep it coordinated and deliberate. This look is ideal if you don't have a lot of space to play with, as white cabinets on white walls will make the room look bigger. And if white isn't your favourite colour, swap out for other pale shades like light blue and grey.
Another key part of the look is to hide away clutter and appliances, so make the most of your space with clever storage solutions and an efficient layout. That doesn't mean that everything gets hidden away, in fact, open shelving works well with this style. It's just about keeping things tidy and easily findable.
Unleash your creativity and be inventive with prints and colours – think geometric patterns with a retro 50s and 60s vibe. Achieve these pops of colour with splashbacks, tiles, soft furnishings and accessories, so that these break up the white and keep the look fresh and fun.
Like the sound of a Scandinavian kitchen? Check out more of our top tips on achieving this look.
Get the country kitchen look
Whether it's called farmhouse, rustic or Provencal, the country kitchen always delivers an inviting space that's lived in but well-cared for. This style is massively versatile, offering several different looks that all recognisably share their roots in the country kitchen. Think of the kitchens in a British stately home, an open space in a New England barn conversion or a chic house in the French vineyards. All are warm and inviting and make natural materials their foundation.
Country kitchens contrast warm textures, such as wood, wicker and fabric with colder ones, like ceramic and stone to create a practical area, ready to care for an entire household. They feature wooden kitchen cabinets and worktops, ceramic sinks and floors from stone or wood. Softer touches come with patterned fabrics, in designs like gingham, bright polka dots or florals.
The colour palette is all about soft, calming shades of either warm tones (like cream, beige and pale yellow) or cooler ones (such as sage green, glacial blue and grey). White works too, in limited amounts, but this style should always be welcoming and able to withstand the odd muddy footprint!
For more country kitchen ideas, head to our article for more inspiration.
Get the vintage kitchen look
Conjure up an eclectic, elegant style with a vintage kitchen. A quirky spin on the traditional country kitchen, this look allows you to showcase your own creativity. Less formal and structured than other styles, it includes everything from pretty chintz to retro 50s Americana and is as imaginative as you are.
With white or cream as a base, pastel colours are often used in this look – think mint greens, soft pinks and cornflower blues which help keep the finished effect fresh and fun. The look of the 50s diner favours bright cherry reds or navy blue, while more rustic looks tend to play around with heritage colours like grey-whites, green-whites or duck egg blue. Dial up a wide range of eye-catching patterns with your soft furnishings and show off all your knick-knacks with trinkets and treasures proudly on display.
This touch of the traditional doesn't mean that you have to compromise on modern technology – look for appliances with soft curves, fun colours and plenty of character. And for a truly unique spin, why not introduce some upcycled items? Give old furniture a new lease of life with a lick of paint, or how about a paint effect such as distressed, chalk or crackle?
For more ways to give your kitchen a vintage vibe, head to our article.
Get the industrial kitchen look
The industrial style brings together all the kit of a professional kitchen with the look of a New York loft or fashionable restaurant. Perfect if you consider yourself a bit of a chef, or just love to explore the latest technologies and gadgets.
It emulates the bare, stripped-back feel of Victorian factories with exposed brick and glass, dark woods and metal. This no-frills look contrasts sharply with the innovative appliances, creating an edgy blend of practicality and style.
Show off all your sophisticated cooking gadgets – industrial kitchens need everything easily to hand for quick convenience. And why hide them away when then look so good? The palette tends to be quite cool and dark, making the use of wood or coppery metals all the more striking because of the contrast. And don't be afraid of black: this style is bold enough to get away with it.
Interested in the industrial style? Read more ideas to make your space fit for a pro.

In an article about creationism vs theory of evolution on Slate posted here, Laura Helmuth makes a statement I'd like to correct. In chapter one of my introductory chemistry text, I require my students to know the difference between a law and a theory. Apparently, Laura Helmuth needs to review her introductory science and familiarize herself with this difference.
Yes, evolution is a theory. It is a large-scale explanation about how life on earth evolved: it includes supporting data, scientific laws, a series of tested hypotheses, and an overall picture of what the process entailed. It is a model of nature. And like any model, it has flaws. It provides us with an imperfect, incomplete picture of what happened over billions of years. It cannot be easily, readily and completely tested and proven over and over again. Just like any theory, new data may tweak it at any time. There are endless hypotheses to test about this theory. I am sure we do not have complete information, to date, about the evolutionary process. It is an incredibly complex process.
This is in contrast to the scientific law of gravity. The law of gravity holds true over and over again (on earth anyway) based on repeated observable circumstances. You can drop a ball a thousand times and it will always fall toward the ground. It is a repeated observation for which there is no complexity, no unanswered question or further investigation to be done. (This excludes the behavior of gravity on a subatomic scale or out in space.)
Thank you for the article, Laura. I just want to make sure all of your vocabulary is correct.

(Formerly: GE-HUMB 1027.)
We incessantly engage ourselves in doing things. We are beings-at-doing. We define ourselves by the kind of actions we perform. How we act or conduct ourselves is shaped by the kind of self we construct for ourselves. And that self is shaped by the society into which we happen to be born. Self-identity, which is socially and culturally constructed by our experiences and interactions with others, carries a personal as well as an interpersonal meaning. Learn the four Asian paradigmatic cases of self-identity and examine your self in light of them.

As a Temple student, you go to school and live in a city full of immigrants. Perhaps your own relatives were immigrants to the United States. But have you ever listened to their stories? With an historical and sociological framework as a basis, we will take an in-depth and more personal look at the immigrant experience as expressed through the immigrants' own voices in literature and film. Topics explored include: assimilation, cultural identity and Americanization, exploitation and the American Dream, ethnic communities, gender, discrimination and stereotyping.

Examine the beliefs, practices, and values of these groups in order to understand the world views and ways of life of the people who practice them. Our interdisciplinary analysis and interpretation of specific examples of religious experience will help shed light on the overall meaning of religion and human existence. We will carefully consider examples while also focusing on particular thematic issues, like cosmology and ritual. Develop appreciation for the religious vibrancy and diversity that exist in human cultures while you actively engage in the learning process through class presentation, class participation, paper-writing, and a self-selected field trip.

After a long, but productive, day at work, I fly home to feed the dogs. Vaughan and I have planned a much needed night out and I can't wait to meet him at our favorite spot. Wanting to get in and out as fast as possible and being the Virgo I am, I already have the steps laid out in my head how I'm going to get out of the house quickly. Feed the dogs, pour broth on Andi's food to entice her to eat quickly, wait for Maddox to inhale his food them force him to follow me into the bedroom so that I can change and he'll leave Andi's food alone. She has this thing about guarding her food and growling at him but NOT eating it because she's to preoccupied with him. By the time I'm done changing, she should be done, I'll walk her outside, let her do her business then I'm on my way. Perfect game plan that should take 7 minutes flat!
I walk into the house, open the doors, pour the food, wait on Maddox, begin heading to the bedroom… to find… AHHHHHHH!!!!! One of the dogs has tore into the house plants getting dirt EVERYWHERE! Not only on the tile, but on the couch and rug too.
So much for seven minutes… 🙁 This is not the first time this has happened and I venture to guess not the last. This time it was easy to identify the culprit because there was dirt on the armrest of the couch which is where our darling Andi lays her head.
Beyond the time it takes to clean up, this is actually a simple fix to keep the dogs from attacking out pour plants again. Cayenne Pepper! We use organic dirt in all of our plants and our dogs LOVE it. Basically broken down food scraps. Some of the nutrients are still in the dirt and quite a bit of the flavor, so they just dig right in. Our poor blueberry plant outside doesn't even stand a chance. But Cayenne Pepper seems to do the trick. I sprinkle a little around the top layer of soil and they stay out. You just have to remember that after you have watered the plants a couple of times, the pepper is probably gone so don't forget to refill. My only piece of advice is to pay attention to any plants that are in a high humidity areas. Pretty much any outdoor plant in Florida. The pepper is suseptible to mold if there is a lot of humidity. This could eventually kill you plant so just be sure to keep an eye on it and scoop away the mold if it begins to form.
Also, Cayenne works great if your dogs are eating the walls… Yes we love our Andi. Simply mix the pepper with a little bit of water to form a paste and spread it on the chewed area. You walls will have a little extra coloring, but it is better than the alternative, holes everywhere.
So I cleaned up the plant, scrubbed the couch and rug, dumped cayenne pepper int he plant then started toward the door. Before I could even reach the handle, I heard dog sneezing.. hehehe.. Let them play with that for a while.
