Miss USA 2006 Tara Conner: Trump's success is the country's success
NEW YORK – It's been 10 years since Tara Conner was named Miss USA in 2006. The beauty pageant winner nearly lost her crown after allegations arose of Conner's drug use, underage drinking and sexual indiscretions.
But President Donald Trump stood up for Conner and allowed her to keep her title if she entered a drug rehabilitation program. One decade later, Conner is clean and advocating for addiction prevention.
"I am super grateful for what Donald Trump did for me...when he gave me a second chance," Conner told Fox News. "He treated [the situation] perfectly because I wasn't a bad person...I was a sick person."
Conner said Trump's views about addiction and mental health is "what we need" and a lot of people voted for him "because they feel as though he can make a change about the addiction crisis."
"So his words so far have been amazing," she told us. "I'm really excited what action is taken."
Conner knows her views on Trump are not popular, especially among Hollywood stars who use their platform to speak out against the president. However, she said it's her job to leave her personal beliefs to herself and focus on the best way to advocate for her cause.
"I can't wait another four years to wait for another president to come in here," she explained of wanting to work with Trump on addiction prevention. "And this is a bipartisan issue so there's no reason for me not to go to the boss because who else would I go to?"
She added, "If we keep battling each other...nothing's going to get done. So I do 100 percent support him when it comes to the area of addiction and addiction services and mental health because his success is my success and it's the country's success and so of course I'm going to support that."
Conner said she has reached out to Trump and urges people to sign a letter to the president on FacingAddiction.org to make their voices heard.

Continuing with the spinach theme, here's breakfast! Or dessert. Or a meal in a blender that isn't soup. Yup, I've jumped on the Green Monster bandwagon. I know, spinach in a smoothie, it sounds like the kind of genius culinary idea a three year old would have, with as much chance of success. But wait! It works - and is totally sneaky. Like James Bond, spanx, and camouflage jackets. This is how to make toddlers eat greens, the ones who consider broccoli florets better suited for projectiles than digestion. They would eat the greens and never even know.
Not that you need to be sneaky about eating greens. Sometimes you just have a ginormous bag of spinach in your fridge that forces you to use spinach at every conceivable opportunity. So I throw handfuls in my breakfast. Or make saag. Or salad. Either way, I've been eating a lot of spinach. It's all part of my plan to Be Amazing At Life. I'll make it happen.
Step 1: Eat ridonculous amounts of spinach.
Step 2: Become capable of waking up at 7 a.m. Or 8 a.m. Possibly 8:25.
Step 3: Buy pretty shoes.
Step 4: Get a hair cut.
Step 5: Make a exercise plan. Follow through!
Step 6: Live in a place with matching furniture.
Step 7: Get a puppy. Name it after an obscure literary reference.
Step 8: Think of five more steps. Then write a 12-Step ebook and sell it on the interwebs. Become rich, buy a boat, and wear pirate shirts. And a captain hat. Commune with dolphins. Snorkel.
...I need a life. Badly. I'll just stick to eating spinach for now.
Super Green Smoothie
The avocado makes this smoothie rich, silky and filling, while the addition of blackstrap molasses and spinach makes for a double dose of iron.
1 cup Soy Milk (or Almond, Coconut, etc.)
1 tbsp Blackstrap Molasses
1 tsp Cinnamon (optional)
1/2 an Avocado
2 cups Loosely Packed Spinach
1 Frozen Banana
1 cup Frozen Mango Chunks
1/2 cup Frozen Pear Chunks
Serves 1.
1. Pour milk into a blender, and add the rest of the ingredients in the order listed. Blend on high until smooth, stopping to stir and scrape down the sides as needed. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Monday Inspiration | Mark D. Sikes
Monday, March 28, 2016
If there was ever a home I could move into and never, ever change a thing, it would be the home of Mark D. Sikes located in Hollywood Hills. I feel certain that most everyone has seen this gorgeous home, but as they say, good things are worth repeating. Warm whites and natural textures anchor the space. Injections of black adds rich contrast and blue brings just enough color. I've studied every image time and time again. It never gets old which is also a sign of classic design perfection. Here are a few of my favorite images, but pop over the see the rest or to walk down memory lane. So good!

I had wanted Lucy to be the paper bag princess for a few years. And finally this year she was game. And I didn't get around to taking any good pictures of her before Halloween. But the day after, there was this fabulous fog…..
I convinced her to come out with me for just 15 minutes. So here she is as the paper bag princess.
She had two different crowns. One I ordered off Etsy from this great shop called Love Crush Bowtique and then I called my mom and she was like hey I can make one so she whipped me one up. I just had to spray paint it! (Yup, my mom is awesome!)
Her costume I ended up sewing four times! I made a prototype first and then adjusted it. We went to two parties and one for Halloween day. Each time she wore one she would rip it! (just by moving around) The last one took my 5 minutes since I had already done it a couple of times.
Have you ever really wanted your kids to be a specific thing for Halloween and how did it turn out??

Product Description
Purchase Unadulterated CJC 1295 Peptide Online for Research
CJC 1295 DAC, or what is commonly called modified GRF 1-29, is a peptide made up of 30 amino acids. It is imperative to note that the peptide accentuates release of growth hormone from somatotrophs on the anterior lobe of pituitary gland. CJC 1295 peptide has a positive feedback mechanism in secretion and distribution of insulin-like growth factor 1. The modified version has a drug affinity complex. Drug affinity complex or DAC is an important part of the CJC 1295 peptide because it increases its affinity and ligand binding properties. In addition, it plays an important role in preventing degradation of the CJC 1295 peptide by internal enzymes and other foreign compounds. CJC 1295 has a half-life of about 30 minutes and researchers are looking for ways to increase its half-life via modifications with different components of the amino acids. In addition, changes to the working system of the peptide are crucial in accentuating an external functionality that is not seen in the regular peptide CJC 1295 without DAC.
Read More »
Since its discovery, CJC 1295 has undergone various modifications geared towards improving its structure and activity. Main areas of concern include stability and binding properties. Enhancing these two features will result in a more potent and efficient peptide. Scientists altered a composition of CJC 1295 by adding four amino acids to its structure. This prompted an enhanced and highly functional peptide with a functional part with a higher affinity and binding abilities to receptors and ligand. The part of CJC that stimulates secretion of growth hormone is located in somatotrophs in anterior lobe of pituitary. It is in the first 1-29 amino acids in its chain, so hence the name GRF 1-29. It is essential to note that GRF 1-29 and its modified version both have similar effects on somatotrophs as they enhance production, secretion and functionality of growth hormone. Drug affinity complex has a lysine molecule added to its chain. Lysine is a complex molecule that helps enhance the half-life of CJC 1295. Its original version does not have drug affinity complex. Therefore, it does not accentuate production of growth hormone at an enhanced rate compared to the latter. CJC 1295 increases the levels of insulin-like growth factor and growth hormone. However, it does not have any significant effect on cortisol and prolactin levels in a biological system.
Research of CJC 1295 showed that it works via enhancing production of muscle cells or myoblasts and increasing bone density. Myoblastic differentiation is crucial for the overall functionality of the CJC 1295 peptide. When more cells are produced, it accentuates growth and development in a biological system. In addition, previous research showed that CJC 1295 with DAC has anti-lipogenic or lipolysis characteristics. Therefore, it will accentuate loss of fats on visceral and adipose tissues. Breakdown of fats cells and white fats cells in a peripheral organ is essential for growth and development to occur. Research done on mice with injured limbs and reperfusion injury reported a positive effect when CJC was administered. CJC 1295 is made up of 30 amino acids in its sequence and its composition has four amino acids replaced to improve its efficacy and potency. This hormone is essential in releasing growth hormone from somatotrophs. Growth hormone plays a vital role in cell differentiation, cell development, cell proliferation and cell maturity. These processes are important for growth and development to occur in any system.
The release of growth hormone from somatotrophs alternates with somatostatin. Somatostatin is an antagonist of growth hormone and is released in pulses alongside it. Changes in a system often result in low production of growth hormone and this increases production of somatostatin. However, increasing the level of CJC 1295 DAC on the test subject increases growth hormone release pulses while reducing that of somatostatin. Studies involving CJC 1295 DAC showed that it is an essential peptide in preventing deposition of fats in peripheral and visceral organs. Obesity is a major problem across the globe and scientists are looking for a natural and effective ways of cutting weight while reducing side effects. Anti-lipogenic peptides have crucial roles in alleviating weight gain and obesity on test subjects. Growth hormone has a net positive effect on ghrelin and leptin. Ghrelin is a hormone which plays a vital role in a biological system. It induces gastric emptying, gastric motility and is responsible for a feeling of hunger.
Leptin, on the other hand, is crucial because it signals satiety. Satiety is a state of fullness of stomach after intake of food. Lack of receptor response to leptin or low production of leptin often results in obesity and weight gain in most test subjects. CJC 1295 DAC works in synergy with growth hormone releasing a hormone to accentuate release of growth hormone. Moreover, CJC 1295 peptide increases a sensitivity of receptors to growth hormone and this in turn increases growth hormone released per-somatotrope. The release of growth hormone from anterior lobe pituitary gland is crucial because it determines if cells and tissues will grow and rejuvenate in case of injury or damage to a functional structure. CJC 1295 DAC works in synergy with another peptide to increase production of growth hormone while maintaining levels of insulin-like growth factor 1 and prolactin. Modern research showed that CJC 1295 DAC is more potent than other growth hormone releasing secretagogues. A higher potency is associated with the existence of drug affinity complex. Drug affinity complex increases binding ability and how CJC 1295 peptide binds to receptors, thereby accentuating hormonal release. DAC presents high-affinity sites for a ligand to bind and cushions the peptide from degradation of hydrolysis by various enzymes.
Drug affinity complex or DAC acts as a cushion to protect CJC 1295 peptide from degradation and hydrolysis from various enzymes. Maleimidoproprionic acid or MPA binds to amino acid lysine and DAC which makes the molecule more active and binding increases. CJC 1295 with DAC and CJC 1295 without DAC are essential peptides in the release of growth hormone from the anterior lobe of pituitary gland. The main difference is drug affinity complex. Sermorelin or Modified growth factor 1-29 has a half-life of seven days and is more natural because it stimulates natural cells to release growth hormone in a similar way growth releasing hormone triggers somatotrophs to release GH. A longer half-life shows that CJC 1295 peptide can accentuate release of growth hormone for a long time in a natural way. CJC 1295 has peptide changes in amino acid 27, 15, 8, and 2. Amino acid changes include leucine, alanine, Gln and D-ala.
How Does It Work?
Polypeptides are large molecules that are made up of amino acids linked via amide bonds. Some polypeptides are linear while others are cyclic. Depending on the amino acid sequence and bonds, peptide formation plays a key role in determining efficacy and potency of a peptide. This comes into play especially in conformation and binding to ligand and receptors. Before delving into what is CJC 1295, it is important to understand protein structures. Protein structures are classified according to molecules in their sequence and mode of formation. There are four structural types and these include quaternary, tertiary, secondary and primary. The primary structure is the simplest because it encompasses a linear formation of the peptide. Secondary and tertiary structures include folded molecules and this is crucial because the folding exposes various binding sites that will elicit change in the organism receptors.
Tertiary structure is a complex protein that has amino acids linked together in a wide array of signaling cascade, which makes it difficult to trace the origin. In most scenarios, tertiary structures resemble interwoven wool and quaternary structure is very complicated as it has all structures put into one. It is imperative to note that peptides bind to different ligand depending on the affinity and the specificity. The mode of action of a peptide varies from one amino acid to the next and structure of a protein determines overall functionality of CJC 1295 peptide.
How is CJC 1295 without DAC different from CJC 1295 with DAC?
CJC without DAC is a polypeptide that incorporates 30 amino acids in its sequence. It is classified as a larger growth hormone releasing hormone secretagogues. It accentuates the release of growth hormone from somatotrophs on the pituitary gland. The number of pulses when CJC DAC is administered is higher than the regular dosage of growth hormone releasing hormone. It is imperative to note that growth hormone alongside CJC 1295 increases fats burning abilities. Studies on mice showed that peripheral and visceral fats layers diminished immediately after administration of CJC 1295 DAC. It helps by enhancing cellular repair and bone density. CJC 1295 works in synergy with other hormones in a biological system to bring about a net positive effect in releasing growth hormone and promoting weight loss. Although the natural growth hormone releasing hormone has the capacity to work on its own, it works in synergy with other molecules to release growth hormone to serum. This aids in reducing the net negative effect of somatostatin.
There have been various studies that focus on the functionality of CJC 1295 peptide and its role in building muscles. Research showed that CJC 1295 is effective in accentuating the release of growth hormone and promoting muscle cell multiplication, development and maturity. This tetra-substituted version of the growth hormone releasing hormone is efficient in releasing a high amount of growth hormone per somatotroph. The half-life of the original peptide is quite low and the modified GRF 1-29 is efficient in releasing growth hormone peptide from the anterior lobe of pituitary gland. Recent research studies showed that modification of CJC 1295 peptide increased biological activity as reduced metabolic clearing and enhanced its binding affinity to various receptor sites. When the CJC 1295 peptide has modified potency and efficacy of CJC peptide. It is imperative to note that the opening up of binding sites helps increase peptide activity.
Potency and Efficacy of CJC 1295 DAC
CJC 1295 is a vital peptide in accentuating the release of growth hormone from somatotrophs on anterior lobe of pituitary gland. Drug affinity complex increases efficacy and potency of CJC because it exposes binding sites to ligand. With an enhanced capacity, this is crucial especially when it comes to peptide inhibitions. Modification of peptide has shown to increase growth hormone pulses exponentially. Combining CJC 1295 and growth hormone releasing hormone leads to an enhanced growth hormone production on somatotropes. They activate somatotrophs on anterior lobe of pituitary gland and growth hormone produced per cell increases rapidly. A regular half-life lasts seven to ten days. This is similar to that of growth hormone releasing hormone. Drug affinity complex allows CJC 1295 to run from one end of serum to the other without undergoing any type of degradation or lyses. It maintains an optimal level and activity that is consistent throughout the study period.
CJC 1295 Dosage Forms
Scientific naming of CJC 1295 peptide is quite confusing to many people. However, it is imperative to note that it is one of the best growth hormone releasing peptides. CJC 1295 is available in the market and it is vital that you check all information before purchasing any peptide. Just like other peptides, CJC 1295 is sold in lyophilized vials or freeze-dried vials and they should be kept in a cool dry place away from sunlight. During reconstitution, you, the researcher or scientist should always use saline water or bacteriostatic water. This type of water is important for research because it reduces cross contamination and the release of growth hormone will be exponential. Research showed that a regular dosage of 100-200 mcg per day can elicit the desired action. Combining CJC 1295 DAC with other peptides can also increase growth hormone amplitude per cell. Growth hormone releasing hormone is used in treating various conditions and stimulating the pituitary gland to release growth hormone. Cellular development cannot occur without the presence of growth hormone. Accentuated release of growth hormone from somatotropes is essential for any scientific research. The recombinant technology used in the production of the peptide ensures that only clean CJC1295 with DAC is produced and its quality is impeccable. In adults, the production of growth hormone reduces gradually when they begin aging. All peptides are still under research. Until they are safe for use in human beings, you can only buy CJC 1295 for research purposes only.

Best Seating on a Plane: A Guide to Picking the Safest, Smoothest Ride, or Quietest Seat
Believe it or not, but where you sit on a plane matters. It's not just about snagging a seat that doesn't have a personal space ignoring neighbor who wants to nap on your shoulder. Finding the Best Seating on a Plane is an art and this guide to picking the safest, smoothest ride, or quietest seat will ensure you are comfortable during your flight.
Safest Seat
If safety is your main concern, there are certain seats that you will to snag. Popular Mechanics discovered that those passengers who sit near the tail of the plane are 40% more likely to survive plane crashes than the passengers sitting in the first few rows. Make sure you sit behind the trailing edge o the wings – not over the wings – to secure the highest survival rates.
Smoothest Ride
If turbulence bothers you, sit over the wings to limit the chance of the bumpy ride according to Dr. Quay Snyder, president, CEO and co-founder of Aviation Medicine Advisory Service. The front and rear of the plane tends to bounce more than the center of the aircraft.
Quietest Seat
To avoid engine noise, head to the front of the plane, but stay away from the lavatory or the flight attendant's area. The bustling of the toilet or staff prepping the snack cart will be a sleep-depriving distraction. Opt for the window seats to avoid neighbors trying to crawl over you to get to the loo.
What are your tips for snagging a prime spot? Share your tricks to picking the safest seat, smoothest ride, or quietest seat in the comment section below.

Today while I was fixing an issue at TeamMentor, I wanted to play around with the URL manipulation.
I tried to remove all the dashes (-) from the URL GUID to see what would be the behavior. And I was able to see the same article without any side effect (by side-effect I mean that the result was the same).
I was wondering if the fact of removing the dashes from a given GUID should cause any damage to the integrity of that GUID. I did a quick search on internet and I found this thread at StackOverflow called "Is good idea to remove dash from a GUID?"
The short answer given to this question is that the integrity or uniqueness of the GUID is guaranteed even after removing the dash. Also in this thread, some of the folks state that dash are added for readability purposes. The anatomy of a GUID is described here
In fact by reading this thread at StackOverflow, I discovered that using .Net you can generate a GUID without the dashes. I used PowerShell to give it a try.

League Two: Fleetwood 1 Burton 0
Antoni Sarcevic was the hero as Fleetwood Town beat Burton Albion 1-0 at Wembley to reach English football's third tier for the first time.
Sarcevic promised to make Fleetwood's dreams come true earlier in the week and made good on his pledge with a somewhat fortuitous free-kick in the 75th minute, earning Fleetwood victory in the League Two play-off final and an incredible sixth promotion in 10 seasons.
Burton goalkeeper Dean Lyness flapped at the 22-year-old's whipped delivery from the left and saw the ball fly over his head and into the net.
Nathan Pond - who has been with Fleetwood through all six promotions - appeared to be in an offside position as he attempted to beat Lyness to the ball, but no flag was raised.
Graham Alexander's men were particularly impressive in the first half and fully deserved to continue their meteoric rise in English football.
The defeat marks further heartbreak for Burton, who lost to eventual winners Bradford City in last season's play-off semi-finals and were also seeking to reach League One for the first time.
Fleetwood started well and Lyness made a fine one-handed stop to keep out David Ball's shot on the turn in the second minute, before pulling off a fine-point blank save from the forward's header at the resulting corner.
There was almost a fairytale moment after quarter of an hour when Pond headed narrowly wide from a Josh Morris corner.
Alexander's men continued to enjoy the bulk of possession and had two shouts for a penalty in the same move. Robbie Weir appeared to make a fair challenge on Matty Blair, but Ball was then felled by Shane Cansdell-Sherriff, prompting further appeals.
Burton mustered an effort on goal when Billy Kee stung the palms of Chris Maxwell, but Fleetwood continued to dominate and were unfortunate not to be ahead at the break.
The second half began at a somewhat slower tempo, although Burton showed a marked improvement on their first-half showing, with Kee particularly lively.
Fleetwood were handed a reprieve with 20 minutes remaining when an unmarked Cansdell-Sherriff failed to connect cleanly with a near-post header from a corner.
That proved costly just five minutes later as Sarcevic sent his set-piece looping over Lyness and into the far corner.
There was almost a second goal for Fleetwood in the closing stages when Iain Hume came close to connecting with Ball's whipped cross along the six-yard box, but one goal was enough to send Fleetwood into League One.

Issue No. 01 - January/February (2003 vol. 15)
pp: 236-239

Abstract—With the growing availability of online information systems, a need for user interfaces that are flexible and easy to use has arisen. For such type of systems, an interface that allows the formulation of <it>approximate queries</it> can be of great utility since these allow the user to quickly explore the database contents even when he is unaware of the exact values of the database instances. Our work focuses on this problem, presenting a new model for ranking approximate answers and a new algorithm to compute the <it>semantic similarity</it> between attribute values, based on information retrieval techniques. To demonstrate the utility and usefulness of the approach, we perform a series of usability tests. The results suggest that our approach allows the retrieval of more relevant answers with less effort by the user.

Approximate querying, semantic similarities, Web-based databases, relational databases, cooperative interfaces.

Whoops! This post is out of order. I missed it when I was catching up --- Here's July 9: It was late on Friday afternoon. The Jeep repairs were completed. And we thought it best to move out of the Anchorage area before the mass exodus of citizenry heading for the fishing holes and campgrounds for the weekend. A big thanks goes out to our friend Mat Rude, an Anchorage resident, for the referral to a repair shop for the Jeep.
By about 3:00 p.m. we chose a tentative destination about 80 miles east on the Glenn Highway and Ferd cruising east through the Mat-Su Valley. Around the community of Palmer we noticed our first views of farms. These agricultural fields are a part of the colony established in 1935 as a federal relief program. Descendants of the 203 original colonizing families that migrated mostly from Minnesota and Wisconsin still produce an abundance of vegetables for local sale. We were enjoying the variations of terrain when I noticed a caution note in the Milepost: "Narrow, winding road eastbound…no passing lanes…7 % grades, 35-mph curves, soft dirt shoulder, steep dropoffs….." No kidding! Sometimes there were no guard rails. The Matanuska River below was a nice view, but it wouldn't be much fun descending via the steep dropoff. So, we enjoyed the scenery a little more slowly, Jerry doing a top-notch driving job, of course. :D
Since we had a late start we were considering making it an 80-mile day anyway, perhaps stopping at the Matanuska Glacier area for the night. That roadway helped us decide. When we arrived at the glacier, the generous parking area and super views cinched it. It was a great place to soak up another glorious nature show. As the evening passed, people from around the world stopped by to enjoy the show with us. We were relaxed and ready to be on our way early toward Valdez the next morning.
Here are some scenes from the day's drive:
Hatcher Pass is near Palmer, Alaska. It is named for the gold miner Robert Hatcher who had success during the Gold Rush in these mountains. Point at the photo below with your cursor for another aspect of this scene.
Matanuska Glacier on the Glenn Highway, 101 miles east of Anchorage. The glacier's average width is two miles and it is over 18,000 years old. At the terminus the melt water drains into a stream that flows into the river in the photo above. This was our overnight spot, but it wasn't that cold! We were about a mile away.

HELLO to my blogging buddies! Yes, I'm still here! Occasionally I'll receive an email from someone out there asking if I'm okay and asking why I'm not blogging anymore. My life has been VERY different over the past six months from my Stampin' Up! days, and I'm still adjusting to my new lifestyle, but things are fine. In fact, things aren't just fine, they're GRAND! I'm very happy, immensely enjoying my retirement, and loving the fact that my time is my own. I feel healthier than I've ever felt in all aspects of my life - mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually! So, see? All is GOOD! I fully intend to get back to blogging because for me, it's how I scrapbook. I love being able to go back and see pictures of old vacations, special trips, great friends and family members, and the papercrafts I've made. I've been incredibly busy with my new lifestyle! I love to spend time with my mother and her friends, and I've also been making 200 Christmas cards! I still get together with lovely people in my life to share stamping and to share life in general. And now, with Christmas approaching, I've been busy shopping, wrapping gifts, baking, addressing envelopes to send cards, and having coffee and lunches with my mom and her friends. My kids are now home from college for the holidays and we are looking forward to a very nice Christmas! For the first time in about 25 years, I have some family members coming to spend Christmas with us, so it's going to be a very special Christmas!
I have LOTS to catch you up on, but I do want to make sure I post a picture of our 2014 First Annual Crafting Getaway Weekend, which occurred back in October. I had always planned an annual retreat for the demonstrators in my downline and after retiring, I felt blue, knowing that I was going to miss out on that special event each year. It then occurred to me that I could plan the same type of event every year for my stamping friends. We had our first retreat a couple of months ago at Jordan Ranch in Schulenburg. It was a lovely weekend filled with beautiful people I love and great crafts of all types, so it's now going to be a part of my life each year. YAY! Here is a picture that we took before we left. A couple of people had already left, so we missed having them in the photograph, but all the rest of us made it into the picture. I'll be posting some Christmas cards on my blog soon, but I wanted to say thank you to those of you who have been wondering if I'm okay and contacted me with your concern. You are very nice people!

Hi Grady!
Just saw your comment! Yes, it takes a lot to keep a blog going. That's why I haven't posted in five months, but I'm back in the swing of things now, so I'm hoping to keep it going. Love you!

This is the first project assigned to the North Carolina consortium that has applied to be a national Fabric Discovery Center. The Textile Technology Center and N.C. State University and the MSC have pursued the project with support from key leaders in the N.C. General Assembly and Gov. Roy Cooper.

It could then be that the name "Uf-Ra" that we read in inscription #21 (in Wiki) actually translates as "Horizon of Ra".

It could then be that the name "Uf-Ra" that we read in inscription #21 (in Wiki) actually translates as "Horizon of Ra".
Byrd: "Ahket" is the word for horizon, as you can see in countless (countless) dictionaries and hieroglyphic examples. The Pyramid Texts Online has a complete list of resources which you can browse through
'Mountain with the Rising Sun' - Ideogram in 3ht, 'horizon'
"The sign 3ht, born of the union of the disk and the hieroglyph for mountain, is rather inappropriately translated as 'horizon', associating it with a modern notion which is foreign to Egyptian thinking.
The sign is a relatively recent creation of Egyptian writing, unknown in the Pyramid Texts, in which the sign that determines the word 3ht is the hieroglyph of a sandy island. The earliest known documentation of the sign is from the Fifth Dynasty, an epoch that saw the official affirmation of the solar cult. Thus the hieroglyph represents the point where the sun appears above the earth at daybreak and where it touches the earth again at sunset. This is the proper meaning of the ideogram, connected to the root 3h, 'to shine'.." - Maria Carmela Betro, 'Hieroglyphics', page 161
Byrd:...and you can confirm for yourself that there's no word "uf" or "ufu" in Ancient Egyptian.
Byrd: You can also confirm for yourself that the word "Ahket" in ancient Egyptian and was unchanged for thousands of years.
Byrd: Ra-Ahket would be "Horizon of Ra".
:Byrd:The Bedouin are a modern people and live in Arabia, which isn't the same place as Egypt.
"… The strong arm of Pharaoh, l.p.h., my lord, struck to the ground the enemies, the bedouins of Mu-qed, who had all settled in Qehqeh on the shore of the Sea,…
Byrd: I don't know where these modern people got the word "ufu" or "uf", and the Arabic dictionaries online don't seem to list it as a word for "horizon." Do you have a source, there?
Byrd: Because it frankly doesn't make any sense for him to have changed his name for a kings' list written more than a thousand years later and leave his name elsewhere as "Khnum-Khufu".
Byrd: And it doesn't make sense for Rameses' scribes and painters to change the name of one of the most famous kings (to their culture) to a language that wouldn't be written for another two thousand years... and then go back to writing "horizon" as "ahket" everywhere else in the temple.
Byrd: As to the painting, I see a lot of the interior where there's partial paint on hieroglyphs, paint on the figures and illustrations, and sections where there's none (often mixed together... so it's not "one unpainted section" but sections within sections (part of a face is painted but the rest isn't.)
Byrd: I'm told (but haven't looked) by the Egyptologist resources that there are other places in the temple where the occasional "kh" basket glyph is painted and others where it's unpainted (including on the king's list.) There's apparently some slight difference in the shape, too (basket is bigger than Ra-sign) but I will go look at that for myself.
PE: Could that be a sloppily written glyph? Looking at the close-up, it seems like there could be three hatch marks sticking out on the right side of the "dot". Although to me it looks to be more square shaped then round like a dot might be. Maybe the paint bled into itself which makes it look like a dot? Or maybe the dot was painted (intentionally) to hide the 3 hatch marks? Just a thought of course...
PE: It's a good question, but I'd wonder what his motives would have been to do this.
PE: Also, would Vyse have had access to Lady Arbuthnot's Chamber? If so, could he have easily defaced the cartouche there to mask the 3 hatch marks? Again just a thought..

You gotta admire Giuseppe Zanotti for his fearless approach to designing shoes. Take these colorful colorblock wedge sandals for instance. These look like they belong into a kid's room rather than on the feet of a grown woman and even though I can't think of too many outfit options to pair these with it's still a very fun-looking shoe and probably would work well with a monochrome look at an event where drinking alcohol excessively is a socially accepted pastime (e.g. a Bachelorette party). But would I ever spend $695 for a pair of designer heels that look like LEGO? Nope.

CNN Outs Aniston, John Edwards, and Rain Storms
Lainey Gossip has a post today about a CNN Showbiz Tonight segment outing Jennifer Aniston for love hoaxes (see my earlier post on fake relationships in Hollywood below). Here is a link to the blog post and CNN segment: http://laineygossip.com/CNN_calls_Jennifer_Aniston_out_on_Love_Hoax_21jan10.aspx?CatID=0&CelID;=0
Elizabeth Edwards is one brave woman. (I recommend her book Saving Graces if you have ever had to deal with grief. She is a great writer.) I feel tremendous compassion for Elizabeth, her children and Quinn, the daughter of Rielle Hunter. Imagine having to find out as a teenager that your father denied you were his own? http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/01/21/harrison-hickman-elizabet_n_431072.html. It would not surprise me if John Edwards still thinks he can make a political comeback, although the release of Andrew Young's book next month will make it all the more unrealistic.
Southern California is getting pounced with rain and heavy wind gusts. Our ceiling is leaking, so we are staying at a hotel. My little Mia is living it up. Here she is in her very own robe. Before I know she will be ordering room service and making spa appointments.

my card was inspired by the beautiful
fall colors all around me.
I made this picture on Saturday when
on the road to a craft fair. I knew
I was going to use it for inspiration.
Day 2 on the blog is special.
There is a big hop with awesome color inspiration
and wonderful prizes to win.
Go HERE.
For my card i used several colors of Stampin'Up! ink
and stamps. ( the following sets where used: Kinda Electric,
Gorgeous Grunge and Sassy Salutations).
I started stamping randomly the leaves. Then I knew I missed
the yellow color (but I already took the picture!). The grungy
stamp is perfect for filling up the background.
The "Thinking of you" sentiment is added for the
challenge on the Simon Says Stamp Blog.
Thank you for looking
and have a creative day!

Importance of a CEO Consultant Service
A CEO is a short form of a chief executive officer of any kind of an organization and hence a chief executive officer in any kind of an organization or a company is one of the top management officers of any business conducting organization or a business.
A chief executive officer leads a wide range of companies which operates in different functions.However, no kind of a company or a business organization moves on without any challenge or moves on without facing any obstacle and hence it is very important for these organizations to have a good consultant service from a good chief executive officer consultant.
public and private corporations, non-profit organizations and even some government organizations are some of the business corporations or business organizations that always need services from a good chief executive officer to help them in the smooth running of their various operations or other functions. A board of directors of the various companies or business organizations that needs various services from a good chief executive consultant is first consulted by the chief executive officers before delivering their services. Ensuring that there is a proper maximization of the value of the entity, which may include maximizing the share price, increasing the market share of the business, increasing the revenues, or even another element of an organization are some of the key benefits that come with getting good services from a good chief executive consultant officer and hence this is also one of the key reasons why it is much important for every business organization to hire a good chief executive consultant officer.

If the performance of an SQL server is degrading, it is a reason for concern for the administrator as well as the users. Here are some universal tips that will tune up the performance of your SQL server.
- For accessing remote servers over sluggish links, it is advisable to use stored codes and T-SQL statements. The same applies to managing large databases. Enterprise Manager should be used only if you are high on resources.
- In order to use the locking and logging resources more judiciously, use of table variables is advised as opposed to temporary tables.
- One way to take some load off your server and answer queries in a more comprehensive fashion is to return only required columns of a table for a query and not all columns.
- Using the truncation instead of delete commands for deleting rows from a table makes operation faster. This is because when the delete command is used, entries are added to the log file for individual row deletions.
- Using constraints in place of triggers can also enhance the performance of your server.
- One should understand that using the DISTINCT clause causes degradation of performance.
- To perform row-by-row operations, use of correlation sub-queries or derived tables instead of SQL server cursors should be preferred. SQL server cursors are known to cause performance issues.
- One ingenious way to reduce network traffic is the use of UDFs (User Defined Functions), which have Transact-SQL statements used to capture codes for repetitive use.
- Union all statements are executed faster than UNION statements, since the former does not try to find duplicate rows, unlike the latter.
Once, you master these skills, how about getting recognized for your skills by passing the certification exam? With a holistic e-learning solution by uCertify, passing the certification exam in one attempt is a cake walk! So, save time, money and efforts and enhance your credentials.

TCM Star of the Month: Tough Guys
Turner Classic Movies is doing something a little different in May, featuring a "Tough Guys" theme in place of the usual Star of the Month.
TCM will pay tribute to 16 different actors in May, starting on Tuesday, May 7th.
The series leads off with the classic THE ASPHALT JUNGLE (1950), starring one of the toughest of all movie tough guys, Sterling Hayden. This is a film I recall seeing at the Tiffany Theater on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood when I was a teen in the late '70s or early '80s. I haven't revisited it since, and I really need to given how much I've been enjoying Sterling Hayden's work over the last year or two.
Next in the lineup is Robert Ryan in CROSSFIRE (1947), costarring Robert Mitchum, Robert Young, Gloria Grahame, and Jacqueline White. As it happens, I just saw White in person at the TCM Classic Film Festival so this is another title I'd like to revisit, as it's been a while since I've seen it.
Mitchum then stars in OUT OF THE PAST (1947), the quintessential noir costarring Jane Greer and Kirk Douglas. The evening then wraps with John Garfield in OUT OF THE FOG (1941).
On May 14th TCM will show Richard Widmark in his electrifying film debut as gangster Tommy Udo in one of my fall-time favorite noir titles, KISS OF DEATH (1947). KISS OF DEATH stars Victor Mature and Coleen Gray; as was the case with Jacqueline White, I just saw Gray at the TCM Classic Film Festival. Both ladies are 90 now, elegant and articulate, with some great stories to tell.
The schedule on the 14th continues with Dana Andrews in WHERE THE SIDEWALK ENDS (1950), Lee Marvin in POINT BLANK (1967), and Chow-Yun Fat in a more recent film, A BETTER TOMORROW (1986).
May 21st starts off with Edward G. Robinson as LITTLE CAESAR (1931), followed by Humphrey Bogart in THE PETRIFIED FOREST (1936), Jean Gabin in LE JOUR SE LEVE (1939), and James Cagney in WHITE HEAT (1949).
The series concludes on May 28th with four more recent titles: Charles Bronson in HARD TIMES (1975), Steve McQueen in BULLITT (1968), Clint Eastwood in PALE RIDER (1985), and Richard Roundtree in SHAFT'S BIG SCORE! (1972). There's a little something for everyone with this month's lineup!

'Shoot to Kill' – Let us dispense with this pejorative catchword once and for all.

The press are usually quite stupid.
To even consider that anyone would aim and discharge a firearm at someone, and expect that person to sustain wounds that are no threat to life, reveals a devout ignorance.

I think your argument is Orwellian quibbling, using the ends to soften the means. No one is suggesting the Police shoot people at random. However, when they do shoot them, especially under Operation Kratos, they are doing their utmost to kill them immediately. "Shoot to kill" is a literal description of the truth: death is not an accidental by-product; it is the express intention, and areas of the body like the brain stem are targetted accordingly.
I do not think it is coincidental, reading memoirs of armed policemen, that Police tactics increasingly resemble military ones when they include ex-soldiers with military weapons and gear training with the SAS. The Police however prefer not to subject their tactics to public scrutiny and take deliberate steps to frustrate Freedom of Information requests in areas like their "Policing Protest Pocket Legislation Guide" let alone the Public Order Manual.
Indeed, the Police can be more aggressive than the military since bullets can be deployed that would be banned under the Geneva Conventions, and in the military causing casualties can be more effective than causing fatalities because of the logistical burden of treating the wounded.
Laypeople might have rather more confidence in this if the Police were anything like as successful at prosecuting their own who kill members of the public as they are at prosecuting members of the public who kill members of the Police. However the traffic has all been one way for decades, even in cases like Ian Tomlinson's.

Who's hot, who's not?
Week 1 is in the books around Major League Baseball. There are some surprising players and teams already to start off the year, but the Seattle Mariners started the year off in almost shocking fashion.
In fact, such a shocking fashion that their star pitcher didn't know how to handle the change at hand.
That's right, Mariners fans, the team is scoring runs.
With fantasy baseball off and running, there are a few of these streaking Mariners who could help YOU win some games.
Who's Hot
Felix Hernandez – SP
You can basically expect me to have Felix Hernandez on this list all season long. He's a dominant pitcher, the Mariners ace, and a Cy Young winner with LOTS of career left in him.
Even if King Felix gets the loss or a way too common no-decision, he is going to rack up strike outs and give you minimal walks.
The first week of action saw Hernandez get 2 starts, a rarity caused by that weird 2 game series in Japan.
He was brilliant in the first game in Japan, but came away with only a No Decision as his offense could not do much for him, only scoring 1 run until after he was pulled from the game.
King Felix went 8 innings, giving up 5 hits, 1 run and striking out 5 with no walks. He left the game with a 1.12 ERA.
Game 2 was the opposite. Hernandez had plenty of run support, but struggled as the game went on. I honestly think he was thrown off by having a lead, a big lead at that.
He went 6 1/3 innings that game, giving up 8 hits, 6 runs and struck out 7 while walking 1 guy. He left that game with an ERA of 4.40.
Chone Figgins – Anywhere
Yes, you read that name right. Chone Figgins seemingly has more production stats in 1 week then all of last season! I kid, of course, but the fact remains the same…he's finally hitting the ball.
He's hot right now, so if you're a busy waiver wire type player, he would be a good pickup until he goes cold, if he does.
After being moved to the leadoff spot in the batting order, Figgins has shown more poise and confidence at the plate. His batting average and hit totals don't even begin to tell how well he's doing.
He's been excellent in sacrifice situations as well, laying down several beautiful bunts to advance runners, and has even successfully pulled of a suicide squeeze already this season.
Figgins is batting .333 (8 for 24) with a double, a triple, 3 runs, and a stolen base.
If he continues at this pace, you're going to get decent average, good number of hits, and if your league counts 2B or 3B separately, or extra base hits, you'll get a lot of those.
He's quick, too, so being on base more often means more opportunities to steal bases.
Ichiro Suzuki – RF
There isn't a whole lot I can say about Ichiro Suzuki that isn't said every time people talk about him. He was moved to the third spot in the batting order, but hasn't produced more power numbers as of yet. He has been productive, though, and that is all you can ask for on this team.
With Ichiro on your fantasy team, you're guaranteed a decent or better batting average, a high number of hits, and this season should translate to more RBI, runs and stolen bases than last year.
He changed his stance some to help him product in the 3 spot, but he is still up to his old ways. Game 1 of the year in Japan, Ichiro had 4 hits, including 2 infield singles he beat out like vintage Ichiro. He looks good so far.
This year Ichiro is batting .369 (9 for 25) with a double, a triple, 3 RBI, 4 runs and a stolen base.
Keep An Eye On
Kyle Seager – 3B
Kyle Seager is an enigma. Lots of people wanted him to make the team, but many were unsure if he would. Especially with players like Alex Liddi and Vinnie Catricala challenging for the spot.
Seager has a hold on the position now, but wait and see what happens when Mike Carp then Franklin Gutierrez come back from injury.
So far this season Seager is batting .350 (7 for 20) with a double, 5 RBI, 2 runs and a stolen base.
Michael Saunders – OF
Michael Saunders is a frustrating story. For the last few years, he starts the year off looking promising, only to be sent back down to AAA Tacoma because his production completely falls off.
He's off to a decent start this season, and with the starting CF and LF both out with injury, he's almost guaranteed playing time.
The Mariners DO have Casper Wells sitting in waiting in Tacoma, so Saunders must start producing.
Things can get sticky, though, when Carp and Guti come back from their injuries.
So far this season, Saunders is batting .211 (4 for 19) with a double, a home run, 1 RBI, 3 runs and a stolen base.
Dustin Ackley – 2B
Dustin Ackley is getting his first full season of big league experience this year. The Mariners called him up at mid-season last year and he got some valuable experience in that time.
Now it's time for him to produce. He's off to a semi-slow start, but could jump start any day now.
That's why I say keep an eye on him.
So far Ackley is batting .222 (6 for 27) with a home run, 3 RBI, 4 runs, and a stolen base.
Who's Cold
Jesus Montero – C/DH
Nobody knows how a prodigy is going to start their career. That is the case with Jesus Montero. The Mariners acquired him this offseason from the Yankees after seeing his potential and his ranking as one of the top prospects in all of baseball.
Montero is off to a slow start, but that is to be expected most of the time. Players need time to adjust.
Keep an eye on him later in the season.
This season he is batting .278 (5 for 18) with 1 RBI.
Justin Smoak – 1B
Justin Smoak went through a lot last season. Between injury and family tragedy, it was hard to ask much of the guy. The new season is here, though, and it's time for Smoak to live up to his billing.
He has started the season off cold, but will look to warm up and rebound from the slow start.
Good thing his teammates are producing or the media may be throwing him under the bus right now.
This season Smoak is batting .200 (5 for 25) with a home run, 2 RBI, and 3 runs.

Data by city showing transportation contribution to greenhouse gas emissions in the County. This data is part of the Regionally Integrated Climate Action Planning Suite (RICAPS) program.
The majority of cities used the "in-boundary" methodology that relies on data from the Highway Performance Monitoring System. The inventories for South San Francisco and Unincorporated County use the "origin-destination" methodology from that relies on data from Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC). So, directly comparing vehicle miles traveled (VMT) across all cities is not statistically possible.
Each city in San Mateo County has the opportunity to develop its own Climate Action Plan (CAP) using tools developed by C/CAG in conjunction with DNV KEMA https://www.dnvgl.com/ and Hara. http://www.verisae.com/default.aspx. This project was funded by grants from the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) and Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E). Climate Action Plans developed from these tools will meet BAAQMD's California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) guidelines for a Qualified Greenhouse Gas Reduction

From Mint Press News:
On Friday July 22, U.S. District Judge Phyllis Hamilton issued a 17-page ruling which found the practice of placing recording devices on the steps of courthouses in Oakland and Martinez, California to be "unsettling," but not in violation of the Fourth Amendment. The four defendants in the federal criminal fraud case are accused of rigging real estate bids throughout Alameda and Contra Costa Counties.
In an attempt to eavesdrop on the conversations of the defendants, the Federal Bureau of Investigations placed microphones in a light fixture on the steps of the Almeda County Courthouse and just outside the Contra Costa County Courthouse, among other locations. The information gathered from the conversations was then used as evidence in grand jury proceedings.
The defense called the secret recordings a violation of Fourth Amendment protections against illegal search and seizure and asked for the evidence to be suppressed. Judge Hamilton ruled that the four defendants did not have a reasonable expectation of privacy when speaking in public about the alleged fraud.
"While the court agrees with defendants that it is at the very least unsettling that the government would plant listening devices on the courthouse steps given the personal nature of many of the conversations in which people exiting the courthouse might be engaged, it is equally unrealistic for anyone to believe that open public behavior including conversations can be private given that there are video cameras on many street corners, storefronts and front porches, and in the hand of nearly every person who owns a smartphone," Hamilton wrote in her ruling.
The four defendants, Michael Marr, Gregory Casorso, Javier Sanchez and Victor Marr, are accused of conspiring to restrain competition by agreeing not to compete with one another during auctions for foreclosed properties and then splitting the proceeds or taking place in private …

You are a Prepper if you are
- a person who grows and /or stores food, water, and other supplies in preparation for disasters of all types, i.e., economic collapse, hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes etc..
- a patriot who is against Fascism, Communism, National Socialism, Globalism, and Totalitarianism, and believes that these types of governments lead to oppression and death of innocent people, thus the need to prepare for survival.
- a member of a Prepper Network
Everywhere else on the planet those sorts of people would be, well, people. But those in North America call themselves preppers. Basically US and Canadian citizens are feeling threatened and paranoid about terrorism (especially now – dirty bombs on American soil etc), natural disasters and the recession and off course a spate of Hollywood disaster movies. Suddenly people have been loosing their jobs and homes and society is no longer as stable as it should be and the government cannot be relied on to help them, so millions have become a prepper and learn how to survive if all should go belly up.
All you need to survive and keep a smile on your face
This is not a new social phenomenon. The Survivalist militiamen who are slightly more to the right of the Gengis Khan have been around a while but the preppers come from all backgrounds and ideologies and they have began preparing themselves for the apocalypse. So if you can build an open fire pit, make soap, make charcoal, tan a hide, render lard, use a washboard, control bugs or clone your children using kitchen utensils then you are well on the way to becoming the perfect prepper and if you want to know how a lightning strike will affect a prepper, there are hundreds of websites to peruse. However judging by the way many tourists off the boat hold their noses when walking passed the Mazatlán market butchers, I would say many are not equipt just yet to render lard and be a prepper.
"Our ancestors were preppers, so were the Native Americans. It is just going back to look after yourself." Says John Milandred from pioneerliving.net who is worried about the collapse of society.
Get your kids and neighbors to help construct outside toilets.
To us jaded cynics at MazReal , we are slightly worried about this new social movement because it smacks of selfish individualism. We ask the question – why can't we learn to help others as well as ourselves?
Build your new home in the backyard
So why not jump on the bandwagon and write a 'How To…' book for instance called 'How to live in the wilderness' or 'How to prosper in your backyard' or 'Discover the pleasure of making your own soap', or 'How to cook a meal' or 'How to skin and eat a rat', 'How to order a cut of meat' or 'How wonderful it is to sit and do a crap in a long-drop and use a leaf for toilet paper'. ©MazReal Book Titles.
Stock up on your favorite health foods.
The MazReal offices are now stocked up with crates of tequila and Venezuelan rum should society collapse so we may feel really happy and have stuff to barter when the time comes.


text: Please take 13 minutes to watch this powerful short documentary, "Not in My Name." But be warned: It contains very graphic scenes of violence and brutality. It should be required viewing for all meat eaters. Joanna Lumley, Paul McCartney and Chrissie Hynde and other celebrities (mostly British in this case) offer commentary.

I'm going through a fairly hard time right now. I'm really frustrated because my life used to be incredibly easy, and now it's pretty tough. There are things I used to love doing- road bike riding, skiing, and camping, to name a few. Right now, these thing are different for me- I can only ride the tandem bike with my dad, I can't (in any way) ski like I used to, and things I used to love about camping are much different now.
I'm really frustrated that I used to travel the world to ski- places like New Zealand, Chile, Whistler, to name a few. My job is in noooooo way like it used to be, and that's upsetting.
Even though I'm extremely upset about these things (and I NEVER thought about them like I do now), I have to look on the bright side- right? For instance, I'm really glad that I'm still able to do these things. My life is tough now, but I have to be thankful that a. I'm still alive and b. I can still do these things. It's really rough for me now, but I have to be thankful that I can still do these things.
I'm just giving through a rough time in my recovery, that's all.

Natural product; provides essential vitamin supplements.Cons
No scientific studies to validate companys claims.Verdict
Try it if you suffer from energy loss as a diabetic.
Optimum Diabetics (Supplement) REVIEW - And What Real Customers Are Actually Saying...
Optimum Diabetics Health Supplement does not promise to be a magic cure for diabetes. All it promises you is to provide you with essential nutrients that may be missing in your body because of the strain diabetes can put on your health. It is formulated to serve as a nutritional support, and not as a medication to help manage your diabetes.
Optimum Diabetics claims to be a full potency vitamins, minerals, and Alpha Lipoic Acid formulation. That may make it a salient nutritional supplement at least for those diabetics who are not always eating a balanced diet. The presence of Alpha Lipoic Acid in the formulation may be specifically helpful for diabetics because it is known to help maintain glucose metabolism. The ingredients are basically natural and herbal extracts.
Not a Cure for Diabetes
The name Optimum Diabetics can be misleading, so it is important to understand that the product is not meant to provide relief from diabetes. It is not a substitute for insulin or prescription medications for diabetes. You will not be able to replace your prescription drugs or insulin with this product. In any case, you need to continue to follow your physicians advice along with this product. In short, this product is not a panacea and it does not proclaim to be.
Optimum Diabetics is simply designed as a formulation of herbal extracts, minerals, and vitamins for diabetics. If you are a diabetic and suffer from weakness or energy loss frequently, this supplement may help you maintain and obtain more energy. In that sense, Optimum Diabetics can help back-up and bolster standard diabetes treatments, but not replace them.
How does it work?
Optimum Diabetics can help to restore nutrition and energy, which is necessary for a diabetic to lead an active and energized lifestyle. If you are constantly faced with tiredness and lethargy due to diabetes, it can not only affect your everyday life, but also prevent you from performing regular exercise and maintaining physical activity which is so essential for a diabetic. Optimum Diabetics can help you to achieve the extra energy to perform exercises to lose weight and stay physically active without feeling constantly tired. If you are able to exercise and move, it may offer some semblance of a normal life which can help bolster your psyche. In a sickened state, this alone may be the reason this product is a winner.
Being nutritious is cardinal to effectively managing your blood sugar level, which can reduce various symptoms of diabetes. This is where Optimum Diabetics might help. The mineral contents of the supplement can also help you fight off infections by boosting your immune system. In terms of quality and product safety, the company claims it to be one of the highest quality diabetic support products on the market today.
The Product's Price
Optimum Diabetics Health Supplement (6 Month Supply) is available at a price of $144.49 from Amazon.com. You can acquire various other offer packages, including free bottle packages from Optimum Diabetic's website. The company also offers a Money Back Guarantee for the product which is testament to how they feel about their product.

I'll keep this brief. Everywhere you turn, there's a new coding program popping up and the impact stories behind these things are nuts! I want to share with you all three programs I learned about this summer. I hope you all can appreciate learning about new things as much as I do. Enjoy!
From Prisoners to Programmers
I wrote about this program for Blavity last week. When I first read it, i thought, oh that's cool. But when you really think about it, the Code.7370 Program at San Quentin State Prison is effectively changing these men's lives with 300 hours of computer training. Not only have these inmates been deprived of computer contact during their sentences, they are often deprived of a chance for gainful employment upon release. Although there is much work to be done on the "Ban the Box" front, this is a small step in the right direction.
Andela | Software Development and Consultancy
I learned about Andela through Twitter (via @tee_seg) after sharing the Prisoners to Programmers article. What makes this program unique is the specialization of their developer talent. They boast on their website that less than 1% of applicants actually become Andela developers. They select the cream of the crop from African countries thereby giving African children a chance to build skills and provide the developer community with the cream of the crop, so to speak. They are currently offering a Fellowship open to anyone who thinks they have what it takes to become a world-class developer.
Learning to Code Becomes Learning to Learn
This last program came to me just this morning in my email from Scoop it, a content curation site I use to find interesting takes on digital literacy. Gerard Dawson, High School English and Journalism teacher, tells the story of re-becoming a learner in order to understand his student's needs. He renewed his sense of beginner-ship by learning how to code. Learning how to code is often compared to learning a new language. He reflects on three lessons in his Edutopia article including the importance of asking for help, embracing failure and keeping it fun. He ultimately experienced growth and empathy as a new learner. The programs he used were One Month Rails to learn the Ruby on Rails developer language framework and Code Academy, a very popular portal for online courses.
As promised, I kept it (relatively short) Enough from me. I want to know what you all think about becoming new learners and taking on coding, in the comments below.
OR find me on Twitter @yea_me2 and use the hashtag #code to discuss
