The notion of the small, crunchy business with a cool grassroots origin story, and a hippie, love-all ethic has been turned on its head in recent years. Did you know that Burt's Bees is part of the Clorox Family, that Stoneyfield Organics was bought out by Danon, and that Dagoba chocolate belongs to Hershey Foods? While little niche businesses exist (and many have found a way to sell through farmer's markets, Etsy, and other artisanal marketplaces), finding and buying from a company whose ideals you believe in is not as easy as one would think. And the issue is complicated: since Clorox and Burt's Bees combined, Clorox has actually made major strides in improving sustainability and has reduced its landfill waste by significant amounts. Many of us assume that a brand's organic cred equates to a healthy attitude toward the planet, its consumers, and its workers, but recently I had to look beyond the logo of green health food product line Eden Foods and decide whether the politics behind the brand are too controversial for me to continue purchasing them.
Image via Blue Nation Review
Eden Foods has been one of our go-to brands for years, primarily for their huge collection of products and their commitment to providing quality organic goods (including many hard-to-find macrobiotic goodies). I remember drinking their soy milk back in the early 90s when I became a vegetarian, and the brand touts itself as the "oldest natural and organic food company in North America." So I was surprised to find that the company had been quietly suing the government so that it wouldn't have to pay for oral contraceptives (or "lifestyle drugs" as the CEO has referred to them). It's a controversial move to many who often associate the organic health food scene with a more liberal contingent. As a result of CEO Michael Potter's comments and actions, numerous people have boycotted Eden Foods and have called for stores such as Whole Foods to boycott the brand as well. Will you be one of them? As a woman who recognizes the importance of birth control for a variety of purposes other than preventing pregnancy including heavy premenstrual and menstrual cramping and issues relating to endometriosis, I have a hard time supporting a company that is relying on the beliefs of one person in a position of power to decide the well-being of his entire employee workforce.Sorry, there are no polls available at the moment.

One moment, deep in worship, soaking and enjoying the presence of the Lord, I found myself in a large ice skating arena. It was a true ice skating rink. It felt chilly and I could see my breath with each exhale. I was wearing skates, standing in the middle of the rink. I was wearing a very pretty flowy skating outfit white in color.
I stood there looking around and as I looked up, I saw Jesus. He was sitting in the bleachers looking down at me. It was Him and me, alone. He too was wearing skating attire, it was dark in color. He smiled at me. I will never forget this. I smiled back and waved.
I looked around the place and I was alone in the middle of the ice skating rink. It was a very large surface of the smoothest ice, it looked like glass. The rink itself had walls that too were white in color. The walls of the skating rink itself were white and they were tall, very high up with windows at the very top.
I heard the soaking music, a single violin began to play a beautiful melody of love that was coming forth from inside of me. I always wanted to play the violin, but I do not, so during worship often I will enter into His presence with my entire being, as a violin, playing for the one I love, inside of my heart and soul.
As I heard the music, a single long note of the violin slowly began to play and I began to skate. Each movement I made was in tune with the beautiful extended note. My skating became worship unto my King. Every movement, executed in love, for Him.
Jesus joined me on the ice, we became a pair facing one another. He has this way of speaking to me without saying one word. I heard Him speak in me, "Let me lead." We began to skate, the two of us across the ice to the sounds of the single violin playing a love song that was not only emanating from within me, but it was pouring through Him as well, I could hear the love song in me and around me. It was captivating, I was singing my love song to Him and He was singing His love song to me, but yet it was one violin note, one sound on a single violin.
We were two, skating in unison across the ice, like when one is watching pair skating. I yielded to His leading, and I was resting against Him, leaning on Him, on His strength. He is really strong and actually, quite a good skater! I could see my white flowy skirt and His dark skating attire. I could see the two of us clearly as individuals. We began to spin, I seemed to step outside of myself and was able to watch the two of us from a short distance. We began spinning faster. I could see the two of us, distinctly Jesus, distinctly me. We were so close, spinning on the ice. I heard Him say, "Watch this!" I looked more intently and suddenly, the two of us became one, as we were spinning to the sound of the single violin playing, we spun and I blended into Him. We were spinning so close for quite a length of time then eventually, all I could see was Jesus Christ Himself, spinning so gloriously on the ice, it was effortless for Him and I was no longer visible, I was completely hidden in Him. It was a very powerful, revelatory encounter with the King of kings.
As I watched us spin into one, the Lord brought this scripture to me, "For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God." Colossians 3:3 (KJV)
I could not see me, there was no evidence I was ever there, on the ice with Him. We blended and became one, and all that remained visible, was Christ alone.

Mark Wood to miss England's tour of Bangladesh and five-test series of India as he needs another ankle operation
Durham fast bowler will be sidelined for at least three months
MARK WOOD needs another ankle operation and will be out for at least three months.
The Durham fast bowler, already ruled out of England's tour of Bangladesh, will now miss the five-Test tour of India and almost certainly the one-dayers in the same country early next year.
It will be Wood's third operation in less than 12 months on the same left ankle.
He is targeting England's three one-dayers in the Caribbean in early March for his comeback.
It is another shattering blow for one of the game's great characters and a fine bowler - but a man who seems jinxed by injury.
Related Stories
England's medical team are trying to be upbeat and insist at least the problem has now been diagnosed - a fracture bone sustained while bowling against Surrey last month.
Head physio Ben Langley explained: "Woody showed his commitment to Durham with the way he bowled 35 overs in that Surrey game.
"His foot and ankle swelled up hugely during the game, which was obviously worrying, and we were perplexed when nothing significant showed up on the first scan.
"It was only when we got him in for a second scan that we discovered he'd been playing on despite having fractured a bone.
"So it's a different injury to that on which he had the previous surgery and there's no reason to think that, when he's had this bone fragment removed, he won't be able to get back to his best."

Honorary Deputy Sheriff's Assoc. | Communications
Sheriff's Posse
The Butte County
Honorary Deputy Sheriffs' Association is a specialized auxiliary of the
Sheriff's Office. BCHDSA is made up of dedicated civilian volunteers doing
what they can to show appreciation and support for local law enforcement.
Their sole function is to raise funds for acquisition of capital equipment
for which there is no budget. Primarily for the Sheriff's Office, though
funding has been provided to other local law enforcement agencies on occasion.
As a job, the pay is lousy, but the personal satisfaction is highly rewarding.
New members are always welcomed. Drop a note to: BCHDSA, 33 County Center
Drive, Oroville, CA 95965-3334 and we'll send full information.
Since its inception,
the Association (BCHDSA) has raised and invested well over one hundred
thousand dollars ($100,000.) in local law enforcement. Two of the major
purchases made possible by BCHDSA activities are the bomb disposal trailer,
specialized x-ray camera, and air-conditioned blast protection suit. No
longer is it necessary for the disposal officer to carry suspicious ordnance
on the front seat of his car to the detonation area! This equipment is
made available by the Sheriff to all law enforcement in the area.
How does BCHDSA
raise money? We sponsor an annual concert, which is well supported by
the community. In addition, we produce the annual Pin Shoot Championships
in October.

You Reaffirmed THAT?
Think bankruptcy always clears away the mess for you? Then take a look at Bob.
QUESTION: Bob declared bankruptcy and reaffirmed his 2 cars in that. He owes $35,000 on his automobiles, and he can only sell them for $24,000. He is $9,000 upside down on one and $2,000 on the other, and makes $37,000 a year. What should he do? Dave gets riled up here.
ANSWER: You're $11,000 in the hole. The car that you're $2,000 upside down on is easier to work with. You can sell that easier. Your bankruptcy attorney ought to have his butt kicked for letting you reaffirm.
You have to come up with that $2,000 and dump that other car and start working extra and paying extra. You're really going to have to crank up your income and deliver pizzas every night and work on the weekends. When you filed bankruptcy, it didn't do you any good!

You don't need to be worried in designing the layout of your little patio. There are various little patio design layout ideas out there which can be your inspirations. For you who need unique designs design for your patio, you can adhere to these ideas.
Engineered hardwood is just another wonderful patio tile material. It is not really suitable to be placed near the patio sink for a backsplash. But should you put in it in another area of the wall, hardwood can raise the warmth air of the room.
If you have an island, rather than simply alter it with new island, why do not upgrade it with a different color for patio thoughts on a budget. Moreover if the material is wood, there are so many ways to offer new colour and looks of the island. Coloring can be carried out by painting it or staining it. However, since you need to lower the budget and then stain it's going to be better solution than paint it.
If you would like to eat on your patio, just add an L-shaped banquet. Occasionally it can be hard to create the corner shape functional. However, by including a little feast, it is possible to comfortably eat from the area and use it like a decoration substance as well. It's a common knowledge that included cabinets can produce the room feels cramped. It is possible to address this problem by installing floating shelves instead of closed cabinets. Or even better, simply ditch any shelve and simply hang the pan. This suggestion will make your little patio looks bigger.
Patio furniture table and chairs High top patio chairs Stackable resin patio chairs Patio chair repair mesh Wicker patio chair cushions Patio furniture rocking chair Stackable mesh patio chairs Black metal patio chairs Patio table and 2 chairs Most comfortable patio chairs
There are lots of minimalist homes developing or creating one space for living room and patio. It is perhaps illogical because patio has been perfectly blended by dining room. But, it is ordinarily built to make flexible room to boost efficacy of cooking process and effectiveness of getting guests from the living room. You don't visit the back house to prepare dishes for your guests. You merely move your entire body in another spot to create meals and beverages. It's completely practical ad flexible.
Patio and bath design news will give you inspirations of layout for your patio along with bath, which you need. Not only inspirations patio and bath design news will bring you new perspectives to design or remodel your patio and bathroom.

Soil Algae aims to improve soil quality through algae cultures
Comments Off on Soil Algae aims to improve soil quality through algae cultures
Algae : it's not just for bodies of water anymore. Algae Research and Supply , a company based in Carlsbad, California that historically provides algae products for educational purposes, aims to bring its algae cultures to farmers across the world through a line of products called Soil Algae , so that farms may improve the health of their soil and boost production. In addition to offering its own algae cultures, Soil Algae also offers products that will allow farmers to cultivate the indigenous varieties of algae found in their fields. "Twenty percent of the microbial biomass in natural, healthy soil is algae, but many farmers only monitor and maintain bacteria and fungi." said Matthew Huber, Chief Scientist at Algae Research and Supply, in a statement. "We want to bring Soil Algae to the public consciousness." The company is now running a Kickstarter campaign to do just that. Algae Research and Supply originally became intrigued by algae's agricultural potential when farmers continued to buy algae cultures from them. Upon digging into research, the company concluded that algae's benefits for agricultural production should be more widely promoted, particularly as the world faces a crisis of growing populations and degrading soils. Some of the benefits of adding algae directly into irrigation lines include increased water retention through algae-produced polysaccharide, reduced erosion through its cementing effect in soil , more aerated soil, and a reduction of nutrient runoff through a process known as luxary uptake, which also decreases algal bloom in bodies of water. Related: Light-manipulating algae could boost solar power technology Soil Algae, specifically through bluegreen algae or cyanobacteria, is also capable of pulling nitrogen from the air and converting it into usable nitrogen within the soil. The added algae increases soil biodiversity, organic biomass, and the total humus found in soil, all good things for farmers keen to produce in healthy soils. "Algae in our soil has long been neglected but it is nevertheless important for soil ecology . We intend to correct that gap in knowledge," said Huber.

UN releases first "state of plastics" report on World Environment Day
Comments Off on UN releases first "state of plastics" report on World Environment Day
The United Nations has released its first-ever global plastics report on June 5th, World Environment Day. Well-timed and thematically coordinated, the UN "state of plastics" report debuted for this year's theme, "Beat Plastic Pollution." Officially named Single-Use Plastics: A Roadmap for Sustainability , the report documents the efforts of more than 60 countries to fight plastic pollution by implementing bans or taxes on single-use plastic items, concluding that such policies are the most effective means to reduce plastic usage. "The assessment shows that action can be painless and profitable — with huge gains for people and the planet that help avert the costly downstream costs of pollution," head of UN Environment Erik Solheim wrote in the report. "Plastic isn't the problem. It's what we do with it." In addition to assessing policy solutions, the report also outlines the current state of plastic recycling and disposal. According to the report, only 9 percent of plastic is recycled, while 79 percent of all plastic ends up in landfills, garbage dumps or in the natural world. Twelve percent is incinerated, resulting in pollutants that enter the atmosphere and affect environmental health. Of particular concern is the use of plastic bags, which often block water ways, provide disease-spreading insects with a place to breed and harm wildlife. Related: Pilot whale dies in Thailand with more than 17 pounds of plastic in its stomach Of the countries that have implemented plastic bag bans or taxes, 50 percent were not able to provide data to effectively evaluate the policy impact. Thirty percent of the total countries reported that their policies reduced the use of plastic bags within a year of implementation, while 20 percent said that their policy changes had little effect. This lack of impact may be due to poor enforcement or simply that consumers don't have access to affordable alternatives. The report highlights the success of Morocco , in which an enforced ban resulted in the seizure of 421 tons of plastic bags and a near-total replacement of plastic bags with fabric. The report recommends that bans and taxes be supplemented with improved waste management, a circular plastic production and consumption model, and financial benefits dispersed to businesses and consumers to encourage the development and adoption of plastic alternatives. + UN Environment Via Ecowatch Images via Depositphotos (1, 2)

"A Domain of One's Own is a project at the University of Mary Washington managed by the Division of Teaching and Learning Technologies. Starting in fall 2013, the project allows UMW students, faculty, and staff to register their own domain name and associate it with a space on a UMW–managed Web server. In that Web space, users will have the opportunity and flexibility to design and create spaces of almost unlimited possibilities. Within the system, they may install LAMP–compatible Web applications, set up subdomains and email addresses, and install databases. In addition, users may choose to 'map' their domain (or a subdomain) to other services, such as a UMW Blogs, Google Sites, or Tumblr."
"It is impossible to abandon rankings outright, since the impulse to grade things seems hard–wired into human nature. Rankings also serve an important bureaucratic purpose. University administrators crave simple metrics of performance, which help guide decisions on where to invest scarce resources. They steer students and their parents toward some institutions and away from others. Finally, they help government and philanthropists make decisions about where to award lucrative grants and donations. In other words, rankings save work, eliminating the time–consuming tasks of reading of book manuscripts or carefully learning about the substance of academic fields.
The ease of using them explains, in part, why university rankings are such big business. Today, there is a veritable cottage industry for them. They run the gamut from the simple U.S. News & World Report to the NRC approach. University rankings have also gone global: foreign scholars, new private companies such as Quacquarelli Symonds, and long–standing publications such as The Times Higher Education Supplement have all entered the rankings market to tell professors where they sit in the global intellectual pecking order. ...
stakeholders within and outside academia should take all rankings with a grain of salt. Even the most sophisticated ones have flaws and biases, and capture only indirectly and poorly important things such as creative thinking and exciting teaching. Rankings of all kinds should be downgraded in university decision–making. Of course, this means that university faculty and administrators will have to put in the hard work of familiarizing themselves with the substance of the academic fields they oversee. But doing so will ultimately produce better scholarship that also speaks to audiences outside university walls."
(Peter Campbell and Michael C. Desch, 16 September 2013, Council on Foreign Relations, Inc.)
"Art and design education has broadly settled on two categories of pedagogical frameworks, both evolutions from historical precedents. The first of these categories is driven by the spirit of the 'design collective', and comprises the art school studio or atelier model. This was established by the private Florentine art schools of the renaissance from around the 15th Century (King, 2003), always with a focus on making as well as learning from the group – from both peers and Masters. Later, this model of learning through practice carried over to the art schools of England: in his 1858 inaugural address for the Cambridge School of Art, John Ruskin (Ruskin, 1858) spoke about the relative futility of formal teaching per se and instead the pressing need for students to learn by repeated and applied making. For applied craft and design, this studio approach was the method under the influential Bauhaus School (1919–1933) in Germany (Droste, 2005). The second category derives from the teaching of industrial arts and is typically driven by the far greater student volume processing needs of the institution. This category comprises the 'hot desking' or increasingly the 'no–desking' model, with large taught classes in lecture format, and occasional group tutorials. Such a model is often the norm for universities' academic courses. The model spread to the creative courses that were more typically offered by polytechnics in the UK. The first polytechnic dates back to the early nineteenth century (Fox, 1832–1854), although most were established in the 1960's with a remit of applied education in industry and science for work. In many countries, the term 'technical college' is the same as a polytechnic – in both the UK and Australia, many of these colleges converted into universities in the last 30 years."

The Black Tides of Heaven by JY Yang. ★★★★
When I read The Red Threads of Fortune, I was blown away by the intricacy of this fantasy novella. The Black Tides of Heaven was released at the same time, and both novellas stand alone. That said, The Black Tides of Heaven takes place before The Red Threads of Fortune.
The story starts out with the birth of twin children (Mokoya and Akeha) to the Protector, who promptly gives them to the Grand Monastery to pay off a debt. The story follows Akeha as they grow up and discover a path separate from their prophetic sibling.
One of the most notable elements of The Black Tides of Heaven is Yang's treatment of gender and sexuality. In the culture Yang's created, children are not assigned a gender at birth. They are referred to with non-gendered pronouns and wear specific non-gendered clothing until they chose their gender (either male or female), usually in their teen years although some chose as young as three. I think there's a tendency to paint these sorts of fantasy worlds as queer utopias, but it's still a culture where adult gender is considered binary, which is brought up more in The Red Threads of Fortune with the introduction of an adult nonbinary character. It also interests me what the expectations are for the different genders and how they still seem to have designated gender roles, although the society is also non-patriarchal.
The Black Tides of Heaven spans over thirty years of Akeha's life. As you might expect, it's a coming of age story. The core of the novella is Akeha defining himself as an individual distinct from his sister and expectations for a child of the Protector. But his individual journey takes place within a larger socio-political conflict. I think The Black Tides of Heaven gave me a better perspective on the Tensor/Machinists conflict than The Red Threads of Fortune, possibly due to the larger time span. I'm also glad that I actually saw the character of the Protector, since I'd heard a lot about her in the other novella.
Of course, there's a lot happening here for just a novella, and as a result the story feels thin in some places. While I thought The Black Tides of Heaven gave more of a picture of the world, I still think I need to see more of it. Luckily, there's going to be two more novellas in the series! Unfortunately, that doesn't help with some of the issues in The Black Tides of Heaven. Specifically the development of character relationships. I thought the relationship between the siblings was the strongest, but there's a lot of relationship building that gets lost in the time skips, especially when it comes to the romantic relationships.
Yang is a fantastic writer, and I highly recommend their work. Do yourself a favor and read the Tensorate novellas.

I'm happy to announce that my world now includes a certificate in Digital Analytics from The University of British Columbia and the Digital Analytics Association. I've been working on this certification since the wintertime.
My interest in Digital Analytics started early in my career. Like many people who got a post secondary degree in Information Technology during the DotCom era, I started my career as an e-Commerce developer, decompiling java classes in order to add functionality to an E-store running on the Oracle e-Commerce platform. The store was called Art Star — not the one that exists now but this old one that the wayback machine can take you back to if you want to get a feel for the era. I was alway interested in the numbers and data.
I remember that my job was to hack the out-of-box functionality of the e-Commerce store and to add the functionality to buy the online art by cheque. "People don't want to buy a $10,000 piece of online art on their credit card."
Bullshit, I thought. I don't think that's why people don't want buy online art. I doubt the ability to write a cheque will help.
During the DotCom boom you weren't supposed to ask questions. I was supposed to just do my job, but this assumption, this hypothesis bugged me, especially on the stupid timeline that they had us trying to meet. I opened up my search engine. Altavista at the time. I typed in "Buy Art Online", and couldn't find Artstar.com until the 15th page. Hm.
I had a friend in Customer Service and called her up.
"Hey, do you know how much art we sell every week? Like, ballpark."
She had the ability to run a report.
"Yesterday we sold $300, all posters." she answered.
"Is that pretty standard? Day to day."
"No, that was a good day."
I thought for a second. I knew what salary I made, I guessed at what my team leader and Project Manager made, and counted up all of the people who were working at the company and determined that this place was going down.
"Do you know we're on the 15th page of Altavista?" I told my manager. "How is anyone going to buy art if they can't even find us."
He brought this to his status meeting with the Business Analysts, and the Management team. My manager told me that it had caused a bit of a stir.
"Who said this???" The Senior Business Analyst said. "A developer? She should shut up, and leave the thinking to us, and do her friggin' job."
A month later, our company was laying off people. I volunteered to leave. Why? Because the numbers told me the story clearly. However we were staying afloat, we weren't selling more than we were paying people. Three months later, people who had stayed hadn't been paid. They were working for free. The DotCom bubble burst shortly after that — mainly because people were buying into an idea but not checking the numbers.
Fifteen years later, I am taking a stand in my career to look at the numbers and to help busineses make informed decisions, and I now have a piece of paper that helps to qualify me. I was a developer then, and I didn't have a say, but now — I wish I could talk to that Senior Business Analyst to tell him "This is my friggin' job now, so you shut up and see what the numbers say."

Bob Dorr And The Blue Band Update
WE GOT A GIG TODAY!! It's an awareness/fundraiser for Cedar Rapids' New Bohemian Arts Organization and the fact that they already own a radio station/frequency and now need to get 'er on the air! Maybe you're the next Casey Kasem or Dick Biondi or Clyde Clifford or Bob DeForest or Howard Stern. Find out how to be a part of New Bo Radio! So while you're shopping in Cedar Rapids, take a break, have a late lunch, chase it with a little peppermint, have a few dances, buy some inexpensive Blue Band merch for people on your shopping list (buy any CD or DVD for the regular price and get any other CD/DVD FREE!) and spread the True Blue cheer! Parlor City Pub & Eatery, 1125 3rd St. SE, we play 3-7pm. Yes, you read correctly, we start at 3pm! Because of his new M-F, 5pm-1:30am, University Hospitals job, this could be one of The Chief's last gigs for awhile, catch him while you can!...
Next Friday, Dec. 2, we are part of Main St. Waterloo's big Christmas Tree Lighting and Holiday party. We play in The Black's Building from 5-8:30p. The event is free, open to the public and all ages welcome. Santa is expected to be checking who's naughty or nice, so be on your best/worst behavior. At the moment, we have absolutely NO idea who will play drums with us. Kind of exciting in a bizarre kind of TRAIN WRECK way isn't it? Maybe Santa will bring us an early Christmas present. A gorgeous blonde that can do the double shuffle would look so good sitting behind the drum kit with us on stage! Dennis is already working on this...
Speaking of not having a fulltime drummer, we've all been so busy that no one has really had any time to start making calls to some of the very talented drummers who have voiced interest in at least helping us out in the short term. Playing with a different drummer every night is difficult and cuts down everybody's fun. We'd like to find someone who is capable, free to travel up to a week at a stretch (we haven't done that in a couple of years, but if the opportunity came by, I'd really like to pursue that) can play all the beats (we are the blues/soul/rockabilly/reggae/rhythm band after all) has a great sense of humor, has a body that allows him/her to help schlep all the gear (the older we get, the more important that aspect gets!) lives close enough to Cedar Falls to make rehearsing a time or two per week a possibility, and, the hard part, is willing to play for the little money that we make. As you can see, we've got quite the challenge ahead of us to find someone with all the qualifications. Please keep spreading the word. We might struggle at times in the coming weeks with the substitutes, but I guarantee, we won't suck! You keep comin' out and we'll continue to persevere. It's too late to stop now...
All of my weekend radio shows are new this week. Backtracks, the rock'n'roll history show, (Sat. 7-10p) is the annual Thanksgiving Left-overs show and will include all 18+ minutes of Arlo Guthrie's classic tale of a Thanksgiving Day trip to the garbage dump gone bad (Alice's Restaurant) and about an hour's worth of leftover requests from last week's live show. Blue Avenue (Sun. 5-6:30p) is a combination of cool blues Xmas songs and some of my favorite CDs of the year and The Beatles Medley (Sun. 6:30-7p) is ALL Beatle Xmas! I still have not received a signed contract renewal offer from Iowa Public Radio for 2012, so catch these shows while you can!...
I am told that New Year's Eve tickets are selling a little better than last year. Who knows how many more of these multi-band, Iowa Blues extravaganzas there will be. It's another stellar line-up, don't miss it if you can! More info: http://www.theblueband.com/newyear.htm New Year's Eve is just 5 weeks from tomorrow!...
Thanks for all the inquiries about Carolyn's dad's triple by-pass recovery. He's out of the hospital, back in his apartment, walking a little farther every day, but has yet to ask for his snowblower to be returned. My biggest worry now is over the health of my Aunt Dolores. She is recovering from surgery for some internal blockage. I'm hoping for a full recovery. Good wishes for her are much appreciated...
Well, that's gotta be it. I gotta get in the frame of mind to battle those Black Friday shopping veterans for all the cool stuff at the 3am special. See ya on The Blue Highway (be careful on the roads the rest of this weekend, the Iowa Highway Patrol is out in full force), rub yer washboard tie to the tune of Wipe Out (get it? We need a drummer? Wipe Out? Oh never mind) I am told that CAKE can soothe anxieties brought on by having one less drummer than we need, and always know that even WITHOUT a drummer, the beat goes on and we love you. Bob Dorr & The Blue Band

Advantages of Early Childhood Education
Early Childhood Education is the best investment that any country can make today. Children are an integral part of society, and therefore proper upbringing through an early education program is paramount in the later life of the children.
What is Early Childhood Education?
Early Childhood Education is the formal and informal teaching that children of up to eight years of age receive. It can be done either from home or at formal setups such as schools.
As an individual interested in ECE, James Cook University Singapore says you will discover every child's world in its early years as each child is unique. Below are some of the things that you are supposed to learn as an ECE teacher:
• You will learn about the development stages that range from birth to around five years of age.
• Acquire knowledge about child development domains, and how to support development in each
• Learn about the development of the brain of a child.
• The importance of playtime for a child
• Behavior guidance for toddlers
• Understanding children's needs in their development
• The laws that guide children care internationally.
• Taking risks as appertains a child's development and learning
• The importance of reciprocity and attachment
Long-term Benefits of Early Childhood Education
Giving high-quality education to children under the age of five has undeniable befits.
• According to a study by HighScope Perry Preschool Study, individual that underwent quality early education are likely to earn more than those who did not. They are also likely to own homes and have long lasting relationships.
• The Abecedarian Project studies show concludes that such children do not repeat grades, do not need extra coaching, and they don't get on the wrong side of the law.
• Undergoing quality education at an early stage is a good economic investment as we are likely to raise sober-minded individuals who will contribute to the economy positively.
The scope of early childhood education is evident in the prosperity and longevity of the advantages the program has on children. Both studies and the contemporary societal views agree with its advantages, so make a point of seeing any child aged less than eight years goes through the program.

Effects of ascorbic acid and light on reactions in fresh-cut apples by Microcalorimetry

MetadataShow full item record
During the manufacturing of fresh-cut apples, a number of biochemical events, overall exothermic, contribute to increasing the reaction rate of the fruit and the browning of its wounded surface. This work applied isothermal microcalorimetry to compare the overall effect of such complex events before and after treatments with ascorbic acid solutions, pulsed lights or UV-C lights. Briefly,apple samples were cut into cylinders and dipped in solutions containing ascorbic acid (0-2.5%) or exposed to high energy doses of light (from 6 to 175 kJ/m2). In general, the heat-flow signal recorded by microcalorimetry was inversely proportional to the intensity of the applied treatment. In case of treatments with ascorbic acid, the heat-flow signal was empirically deconvoluted in three distinctive signals, respectively, (I) an exponential decay, (II) a gaussian central curve and (III) a final logistical function. The first and the third functions were constant regardless of the concentration of ascorbic acid used. Only the second Gaussian function was correlated with the concentration of ascorbic acid and the area was used to evaluate the efficacy of the process. Overall, this work contributes to the understanding of the heat produced by fruit after wounding and, from a practical standpoint, can help compare the effects of different treatments on fresh cut fruits.

How close do you have to be to God to hear him? Like actually hear him.
In my faith I notice a lot of people coming up to me and say "how come you always hear from God?"
The thing that they don't realize is I am not constantly receiving messages from God like some sort of radio antenna . A lot of people forget the passage that says that God can not be where sin is. In fact the bible says that God cannot look at evil because he is so much better than that.
Before your holy eyes sin may not be seen, and you are unable to put up with wrong; why, then, are your eyes on the false? -Habakkuk 1:13a (BBE)
Every time I hear from God is when I am pure.
The bible CLEARLY states many times that we are to repent (meaning coming clean of our sins).
No, I tell you! But unless you repent, you will all perish as well! -Luke 13:3 (NET)
If we are not clean that means that we are full of sin. SIN IS EVIL. If this it is true that God can't look at evil how could he talk to us?
Again… the only time that I hear from God is when I am puree.
It seems obvious but we feel safe sitting on our couch but how about walking down a dark ally, at night, downtown. Uncertain if around the next corner you are going to get caught in some gang shoot out or kid nabbed.
Yes, though I go through the valley of deep shade, I will have no fear of evil; for you are with me, your rod and your support are my comfort
. -Psalms 23:4 (BBE)
In over 150 instances does the bible talk about God Comforting us. If that it isn't assurance I don't know what is.
Lets make the connection.
We do not NEED constant messages from God, rather we need to spend more time fearing God than sitting around hoping that we receive some great message from Him.
Fear God and he will comfort you.
If we have so much assurance that God is real how come we always feel the need to get these messages from God?
We have absolutely nothing to lose if we fix our eyes on Jesus. If he is truly the centre of our lives we would believe that he always knows and does what is best for us even if he is doing this in secret.
You have to be VERY VERY VERY close to God and VERY VERY VERY far from sin to have some form direct contact from God. However this is not necessary to maintain a steady relationship with God.
If we fear Him and he will comfort us.

text: Soup Makers No heating on the hob, no messy transferring from pan to blender just home-made soup made simple. Comforting, healthy and delicious... home-made soup is hard to beat, and is head and shoulders above anything you can buy ready-prepared. A mug of piping hot soup or broth warms you up on wintry days, perks you up when you're feeling under the weather, and there's nothing that goes with a sandwich quite so well. And now, using an electrical soup maker, it's quicker and easier than ever to prepare. Designed for convenience in the kitchen, using a soup maker saves on washing up too; there's no need for an array of separate pans, jugs and ladles, just pop your ingredients into the jug, select the programme, and the soup maker will do the rest; sauté, simmer, cook and blend.

Elizabeth Olsen Replaces Ashley As Mary-Kate's Date, Looks Thrilled While Doing So
Whenever I see pictures from ~fashun~ events, a cold sense of fear covers my body and a creepier, a cappella version of the Troll Song crawls into my ears, because Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are usually there together looking like two giddy, little evil bridge urchins who are about to ask you to solve an unsolvable riddle. But a strange thing happened at the CFDA Fashion Awards in NYC last night. Ashley Olsen was not there!
Did an enchanted forest giant accidentally stomp on Ashley while she was collecting mushrooms to make a potion with? Was she a guest at that red wedding shit? Did Gandalf get her when she was trying to snatch Bilbo Baggins with her fellow goblins? Did her housekeeper once again mistake her for a greasy hairball that fell out of a cat's mouth and vacuum her up? Whatever the case may be, Ashley Olsen was not there last night. Ashley and MK's younger sister Elizabeth Olsen showed up in her place and made the face anybody would make if they had to pose next to a Trollsen while dressed like a warlock priest.
Elizabeth Olsen tried, but she just can't prune as good as her sisters can. What's really disturbing is that Mary-Kate can prune even when Ashley isn't next to her. I thought their prune powers were only activated when they were standing next each other? I guess not. We should all be scared by this.
Here's a few pictures from last night's CFDA Fashion Awards, which are like the Golden Globes to the Met Gala's Oscars. In order after the Olsens: Miranda Kerr, Zang Toi (wearing Kanye West's next stage outfit), Betsey Johnson, Sofia Vergara, Nicole Richie, Ethan Hawke, Michelle Harper (thank the lord a Kardashian wasn't there or they would've fucked that black rod on Michelle's head), Zachary Quinto, Jessica Chastain, Linda Evangelista, Ireland Baldwin, Karolina Kurkova, Adriana Lima, Juliette Lewis, Jess from Girls (bitch, you ain't Martha Graham), Rooney Mara and Kerry Washington.
Who Worked It Better?
Answer: Did I even need to ask?
New York's Department of Fish and Wildlife rushed to the Met last night, because they received dozens of panicked calls from people who were horrified to see a traumatized chipmunk struggling to get out of a net after getting viciously attacked by a porcupine. Oh, but it was just Miley being punk rock.
Most people probably didn't recognize Miley Cyrus at the Met Gala last night, because her ass cheeks weren't hanging out and because that electrocuted hair made everyone think she was that dude from Sum 41 (the one who was married to Avril Lavigne), so they just walked on by. Perfect disguise, Miley!
And here's even more pictures from last night. Basically, any trick in a borrowed dress could get in. My family gatherings have a stricter guest list than this shit had. In order: Messy Miley, the ghost of a homeless bridge urchin from the 1920s, Drunk Ass Sandra Lee, Katie Holmes (whose sheet dress can be used as an escape rope just in case the Scientologists come after her when she's on the second floor) Derek Hough in ballerina drag, Swifty, a Vulcan priestess (aka Coco Rocha), Linda Evangelista (who REALLY wants a role in Games of Thrones), Tiger Woods with a blonde who will hate him in a few months, Chelsea Clinton, Rooney Mara, the leader of a cult of hippie trolls, Tom Brady with Gis and Zachary Quinto (looking like Duckie from the Pretty in Pink after he got a job in Prince's band).
The Trollsens Have Really Outdone Themselves This Time
Last year, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's fashion line The Row put out a backpack that looked like a giant, pregnant roach and it cost $39,000. It sold out, because sometimes extremely rich bitches get bored with burning their money in copper fire pits, so they spend it on caca instead. Then this past summer, the Trollsens made an anti-PETA fur purse that sold for almost $17,000. A bargain! But now they're taking overpriced foolery all the way by selling this crocodile backpack covered in fake prescription pills. They want $55,000 for a backpack that looks like Neely O'Hara barfed all over it. If you want to spend $55,000 on Leatherhead's dead mom, then please spend an extra few dollars to fly to Los Angeles so I can slap the shit out of you. You can choose the airport I'll meet you at (Note: Please choose Burbank or Long Beach, because I don't want to deal with LAX traffic. Thank you.)
The Daily Mail says that artist Damien Hirst, the one who killed Jaws, collaborated with the Trollsens to make a bag that costs as much as a car. I like how they use the word "collaborated." Please, you know they were all sitting around a coffee table, doing lines and getting drunk when Mary-Kate dropped a bottle of Vicodin on a bag and they're all like, "FASHION! ART!"
Only twelve will be sold (because there's only twelve dumbasses in the world who will spend their money on this) and proceeds will go to UNICEF.
In all seriousness, if you really want this, let's just go to Wilson's Leather together, buy the cheapest backpack there and then Super Glue some pills on it. It'll probably look better than this shit. But why would you want pills on your backpack anyway? Do you know how many Lohans will be chasing after you, trying to nom nom nom on your bag? Do you really want to turn around and find Dina Lohan chewing on your pocketbook? That'll ruin your day.
AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH, Part II
Drop the phone, you don't have to make a three-way call to the authorities and Chris Hansen. I know this looks like a a psychopathic creepster planting a threatening kiss on the forehead of the terrified teenager he kidnapped from the mall. But this is actually a kiss of love that 42-year-old Olivier Sarkozy gave to his 26-year-old girlfriend Mary-Kate Olsen at the Mavericks vs. Knicks game in NYC. 16 years isn't that big of an age difference, but sometimes she looks like she's barely twelve and he's a rough 42. He also looks like Tom Hanks after falling face first out of a tree and then getting attacked by ten swarms of bees. His face kind of looks like an inside/out mask. But you know, the dick must be good and he obviously loves some troll poon, because they've lasted longer than I thought.
On a different note, WHERE ARE HIS EYES?! Did his eyes refuse to take part in this fuckery and quit his face?
Olivier Sarkozy And Mary-Kate Olsen Are Moving In Together
People who live on East 10th Street in NYC's East Village will soon hear naked virgins scream out the words "A TODDLER TROLL IS TRYING TO EAT MY BLOOD! HELP HELP! I mean, FIRE FIRE!" as they run down the street, because 26-year-old Mary-Kate Olsen is moving into the neighborhood with her French dadfriend. 42-year-old Olivier Sarkozy has been nibbling on Mary-Kate's troll twat for a few months now and they will continue to gross us all out, because they're taking their love to the next level by moving in together.
Page Six says that Olivier has paid $6.25 million for a 4,200 square foot townhouse that was built in the olden times. Olivier will own the East Village's new house of horrors, but apparently Mary-Kate approves of it and likes it because it's old. (Too easy.) Curbed has pictures of the townhouse and we really should admire it before the walls are covered in the screams of the innocent, goat nutsacks and posters from past Olsen movies. That last one is the most terrifying, I know.
All shade aside, I'm happy (not really) that a 42-year-old French dude who looks like a 52-year-old French dude and a 26-year-old girl who looks like an 8-year-old dressed up as Snow White's old witch have found love in a hopeless place. And note to Ryan Murphy, you now have your plot for the third season of American Horror Story.
The Trollsens Have Done It Again
Last year, PETA figuratively threw a can of red paint at Mary-Kate and Ashley Trollsen after their fashion line The Row put out a $39,000 alligator backpack that looked like a giant pregnant roach. That ugly backpack made of Wally Gator's mom sold out, because sometimes rich people get bored with burning their money in front of the poors and so they spend it on overpriced, ugly crap instead. Mixing their two favorite loves, making money and sucking the souls out of animals, worked so well the first time that those two Cruella de Trolls are doing it again.
The Zoe Report says that The Row is selling a "second generation" version of their alligator backpack, but this time they've covering it with patches of real fur instead of the carcass of a gator. Before I tell you how much this traveling animal cemetery costs, let me tell you all the things you could buy instead of buying this bundle of Muppet pubes:
– A Smart Car full of BUNNIES!!!!!
– A mountain of 30,000 KFC cheese top burgers that you can dive into and then eat yourself out of.
– 100 lap dances from OctoMom and 20 handjobs from Lindsay Lohan followed by 100 therapy sessions and 10 visits to the free clinic.
– 112 Olsen Barbies that you can skin and turn into a dozen Olsen doll backpacks.
– The handle of a Birkin bag.
You can buy any one of those things or you can make the Trollsen empire even richer by spending $16,900 on one of PETA's worst nightmares. Yeah, that bag is almost $17,000. The alligator one is almost $40k, so this is A DEAL! Seriously, though, that's a lot of money for a bag that is as tortured, busted and raggedy as the bags who designed it. Well, I guess it's the perfect thing to carry out in public if your ass is out of flour and you need a bitch to throw some at you.

So in case you haven't heard, the Boston Red Sox have signed Tampa Bay Rays and former Red Sox catcher Kelly Shoppach to a one year deal worth right around one million dollars. With Saltalamacchia solidifying his spot as the teams number one catcher, and the younger Shoppach most likely being his back up, does this ultimately lead to Varitek's demise?
Yes, yes it does. Finally. I couldn't wait for that C to be off his chest. Not because I don't think he was a good captain, but because I think it's stupid that a baseball players has a C on his jersey. Its a hockey thing, everyone knows that. No one else does it, so why did we do it, it looks dumb. Other than that, Varitek is washed up. Here are his Average numbers over the last 5 years:
.227 Batting Average
12.4 Home Runs
But wait a minute, here are Shoppach's:
.222 Batting Average
11.2 Home Runs
So realistically what are we getting back in Shoppach? 96 games played vs 82 games played average over the last 5 years. Which number you think belongs with Varitek? It's gotta be the 82 right, guy never plays. Wrong. The 39 year old Varitek has played more games over the last 5 years than the only 31 year old Shoppach. So maybe the grass isn't always greener. Maybe what we have for a back up is fine and we could have used that extra million to throw at a relief pitcher that ends up having a solid season out of the pen. Who knows. All this means is that Varitek's tenure as a Red Sox catcher is most likely over. Godspeed Tek.

I work as a mental health skills building counselor. I have insurance through my employer. It's decent insurance and affordable. I'm fairly healthy even though I'm a little on the chunky side. I'm worried that the AHCA will affect my insurance. I have a preexisting condition that other insurance would not cover, if this bill is passed I wonder if I'll still be covered.
I'm also a caregiver to family members. They all have Medicare and Medicaid; without these they could not get the services they need. They all have significant health problems and cannot afford to buy insurance. My job could also be affected since Medicare and Medicaid pays for the mental health services the company provides. Due to changes in insurance, employees of the company have already seen their hours cut and individuals have lost services they desperately need. If Medicaid is slashed more then people with severe mental illnesses who need support might be without any help, and I and others in the company could possibly lose their jobs. It would be a vicious circle.
I believe it's our duty to take care of the vulnerable in our society. I just wish some members of Congress thought that as well.

Whenever I hear this song, I wonder, Who is so messed up that he or she would be asking Ozzy for the answers to life's big questions?!?!? Okay, so he did some good songs with Black Sabbath, and he wasn't as nutty in 1980 as he is today, but still...
People look to me and say
Is the end near, when is the final day?
What's the future of mankind?
How do I know, I got left behind
Everyone goes through changes
Looking to find the truth
Don't look at me for answers
Don't ask me -- I don't know
I want to meet the person who inspired the Ozz Man to write this song. Or maybe I don't.

His relentless preparation and client-centered defense strategy has resulted in numerous not guilty verdicts in felony jury trials and winning arguments before both the South Carolina Court of Appeals and Supreme Court of South Carolina.

BURT LANCASTER (1913-1994), born Burton Stephen Lancaster, was the lead actor from the late 1940s until his death in 1994.
Haven't you seen The Killers (1946)? Lancaster's primary role as Ole 'Swede' Andreson brought him to the attention of a wide audience. Stardom was just around the corner.

Trapeze (1956) Lancaster costars with Tony Curtis in this drama set in the world of the circus aerialists.
Gunfight At The OK Corral (1957) Burt is Wyatt Earp in the John Sturges classic.
Elmer Gantry (1960) Lancaster won the Best Actor Oscar for his role as the fake evangelist. A powerful film.
