ASAP Plant Minerals is unique, compared to commonly available soil treatments. There is nothing like it on the market today. The formulation of ASAP Plant Minerals organic soil amendment contains all the critical 14 essential minerals plants need to flourish.
Water molecules hydrate the minerals once created by their proprietary process and protect them from degenerating into less bio-available forms. In dry forms, dehydrated minerals recombine into clusters and are far less available for absorption by roots of plants. The action on the minerals by the roots to chemically break them down into sizes that can be absorbed takes life energy and creates an energy deficit experienced by the plant.
Research has revealed a profound difference in the uptake and utilization of ASAP organic soil amendment in flower and crop plants. Their unique form of magnesium is the cause of the double foliage and flower sets, while other minerals move quickly from the soil up into the leaves to the chloroplasts to create phytochemicals to rapidly grow the plant and infuse the fruit with additional nutrients in the pulp and skin.
This is why ASAP is marketed to organic growers. Why offer a way to increase the nutrition in the skin of fruit and vegetables if you have to remove the skins and outer leaves because they are contaminated with petrochemical pesticide. This makes no sense. The consumer gets food that actually feeds them without risking cancers later in life. Disease and genetic aberrations causing cancer is far less confusing than medical science would like you to believe.
There are only three ways to get cancer: radiation, reduced oxygen pressure at the capillaries and environmental toxins. If you don't work in a radiological environment and don't smoke then the last way is the only one that you have to worry about. The individual genetic susceptibility to threshold levels of specific toxins is the tipping point into cancers. Everyone has a different set of sensitivities and is part of the evolved human survival mechanism. Detoxification in this chemical-age is critical and foods grown with ASAP may improve your chances especially by eating organically grown foods. Certainly the phytochemicals found in grape skins, blueberries, black raspberries, strawberries, carrots, aloe vera and cranberries have been identified to help and eliminate the antagonistic chemicals that cause the scales to tip. Why coat food with pesticides and introduce the antagonist with the cure?
Why hydration is so important: It has been shown experimentally that metal mineral water complexes can interact with chromosome DNA like magnesium minerals vibrating at specific frequencies in water.
Researchers in one particular experiment found that microwaves of around 3 gigahertz could resonantly drive a longitudinal vibration mode in DNA chains by electrically coupling with minerals residing on the hydrated backbone of the DNA helix. Therefore the operating theory at this time is that the correct metal minerals could transform a damaged configuration back into a normal configuration to maintain proper DNA function.
This is the exciting part of research. It is certain that ASAP soil treatment will increase yield and nutrient values in organically grown crops fed ASAP, it may also prove to provide foods to eat to help prevent cancers.
But beyond all that, the ASAP grown food just simply tastes better.

Running a car can be an expensive business. But there are lots of ways drivers can manage those costs to stay within their budget. Whether it's fuel, insurance, maintenance or depreciation a few simple tips and tricks can help make owning and running a car far less financially painful.
Fuel: the inescapable cost
You can't go anywhere in a car without fuel. But before you buy a car, consider the kind of mileage you're going to cover. If the vast majority of motoring is done locally and you have access to a charging point, then an electric car - or a plug-in petrol-electric hybrid - that can be 'refuelled' via mains electricity will keep your costs down. They're very good value for money when second hand and an electric car can cost as little as two pence per mile to run. For a regular internal combustion engine car it's 12 pence per mile, however most electric cars struggle to have a range of more than 100 miles.
If you cover a lot of miles, particularly cruising the motorway network, a diesel car will be best suited to your driving routine. Even large executive cars will return 50-plus miles per gallon (MPG) on long runs. For a mixed mileage, consider petrol car or hybrid cars. Many makers also produce models designed to maximise economy with low friction tyres and bodywork tweaks to help return better fuel MPG.
Think about how you drive too. Sticking to the speed limit, avoiding harsh acceleration and braking and paying more attention to road conditions and the behaviour of other drivers can all help save fuel. And look at your car. A well-maintained motor is likely to require less fuel to power it. Even keeping the tyres at their correct air pressures can reap dividends at refuelling time. Check your car's real-life economy with What Car's True MPG Calculator.
Depreciation: the hidden cost
The moment you take ownership of a car, it starts to lose money. Over the first three years of their life, cars can lose anything from a third to two thirds of their value. This depreciation can exceed every other motoring cost but it does vary according to the make, model and age of the car.
Generally speaking, cars that are made for the mass-market by big-name makers such as Ford, Vauxhall and Volkswagen depreciate more rapidly than those made by high-end makers such as Audi or Land Rover. The older a car is, the less value it can lose. And some cars, usually those viewed as future classics, actually stop depreciating and start to gain value when they get to a certain age.
Insurance: think smart
Like fuel, insurance is something you can't live without. But there are plenty of ways to keep the cost of cover down. Your premium is calculated according to how much of a risk the insurer thinks you represent. The key is to keep that to a minimum. Putting the car in a garage is one way. Also, limit your mileage: the fewer miles you cover, the less chance for you to have an accident. Who is the cover for? Insurers look favourably on drivers who have their partner as a named driver. However, by and large, the more named drivers you have the pricier the premium.
An increasing number of insurers are now using in-car telematics for what is sometimes known as 'smart' insurance. By plugging a 'black box' device into the car and using the car's data and GPS to monitor and report individual driver's performances, insurers can tailor premiums to specific drivers. It means careful drivers don't have to pay for the indiscretions of more careless car owners.
Maintenance: independents aren't always the cheapest
Running a car can be a real drain on the family finances. The older the car, the more expensive it can be to maintain if things are continually going wrong. Checking out how dependable an individual model is on the Reliability Index is advisable when drawing up a shortlist of cars to consider.
Where you go for maintenance has an impact on costs. If you buy a car with a manufacturer warranty you don't have to go to the maker's franchise to preserve the warranty. But it does make claiming on that warranty less complicated. Realising that they have a reputation as being overly expensive for used models, franchised dealers frequently operate price-match schemes to attract business away from independent garages.
Car maker franchises also have maintenance packages. Sometimes, these are bought with the car when it's sold new. It's worth checking whether a used car comes with one that's transferable. Alternatively, you can pay dealers a one-off or monthly fee and your servicing is covered for a period of time, usually three or four years. Whether these are good value varies depending on the manufacturer and model. Some are; some cost exactly the same as paying as you go. For drivers of used cars more than seven years old, finding a good local independent garage through word of mouth (or via the Motor Codes rating system) can be the most convenient and - frequently - cheapest way to go.
Tax: check out the CO2 emissions
How much tax you pay on a car depends entirely on its carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. For Vehicle Excise Duty (usually known as road tax) there is a series of bands from A to M. Band A, for cars with CO2 ratings beneath 100g/km, are free. Band M, for cars with more than 255g/km, cost £515 annually.
How much you pay for your motoring will depend largely on the kind of car you own. The general rule of thumb is, the bigger the car, the more it will cost to run. But following the advice above will help you to keep the outlay you do have to a minimum.

Shelter Picks | Pets
You need a puppy in your life. A sweet, bouncy, mischievous puppy with liquid brown eyes that look at you with love and complete trust. That's exactly what you need, and, lucky you, Macon Animal Control has several to choose from this week.
While the arguing goes on among humans over the conditions at the rundown animal control shelter, the kennels and cat cages filled up, as usual.
Brittany is the little bundle of joy in the main photo. Beware, though. She's a thief who will steal your heart in an instant. Brittany will not stay that small, however, so if you decide to adopt her, remember she will grow to around medium size -- probably larger than a cocker spaniel. She'll need walks and, preferably, a fenced yard. She needs gentle discipline as well as love, quiet time as well as playtime, and training. The future is wide open for Brittany, if she lives past Wednesday.
Wednesday is the day the veterinarian comes. It's the day that the dogs on The List go into a small room one by one and are killed. State regulations limit Macon Animal Control to a certain capacity, and when that capacity is reached, puppies, dogs, kittens and cats must leave the building to make room for others to come in.
Ryder is a larger dog, but still young and peppy. He just wants like crazy to get out of that cramped kennel and run in the park with you. Ryder isn't beautiful like some dogs, but he has pretty eyes that say everything he's thinking. If you bring Ryder into your life, all he will be thinking about is loving you. Ryder's adoption fee is already paid. Just go down to Macon Animal Control at 1010 Eleventh Street any weekday before 5:30 p.m. and fill out the paperwork.
While a large network of animal rescue groups and fosters work feverishly every week to get as many animals out the front door as possible, they -- and the animals -- are waiting and hoping that more Macon area residents will step up to help with the problem of overpopulation at the animal control shelter. Adopting a pet or fostering for one of the rescues saves two lives -- the life of the one you get out of the pound, and the life of the one who won't have to die to make room.
Adopting a pet costs $75 and includes spay/neuter surgery and a rabies shot. Who says you can't "buy love"?
Call Macon Animal Control at 478-751-9200 for information. If you want to know about a specific dog or cat, have the animal's ID number ready.
Click here to look at photos and descriptions of some of the available, urgent pets at Macon Animal Control.

NewerTech NuGuard GripStand 2 and GripBase Bundle for iPad 2 Review (Page 1)
Without a real specification sheet or metrics for standard benchmarks, today's look at the NewerTech GripStand 2 and GripBase will be more like a show-and-tell. NewerTech is part of the same group that is also responsible for Other World Computers. Their products are sold at Macsales.com, one of the largest Mac specific e-tailers we've been able to find.
By now just about everyone who reads TweakTown on a regular basis knows OWCs for their solid state drives. Newer Technology has an even larger presents in the Mac accessories market. On the Newer Technology website we spotted several categories of products that range from memory to screen covers with everything in between available as well.
Being a long time PC fan I was pulled into the Apple world through another company, Pioneer Electronics. My Pioneer AVIC-Z120BT car audio/navigation unit uses an iPod Classic as a music storage device, my first Apple purchase. I'm a big Pioneer fan and love their products. In the home we have two Pioneer Elite SC-37 receivers for the main and upstairs floors that pump audio to the living room, back patio, master bedroom, master bathroom and garage. A Pioneer Elite SC-57 resides in the home theater and also pumps audio and video to my office adjacent to the home theater. As you can imagine managing remote controllers can be an issue with so many locations under the control of just three receivers. This is where the iPad comes into play. Pioneer Electronics built a very nice iOS remote control software package that provides control of everything through an IP interface, no matter where we are in the house. If you want to tame the kids in the living room from the kitchen, all you need is the iPad and within three or four seconds the volume can be brought to within reason.
Using one device to rule them all means that device is in constant use. Wear and tear is an understatement on regular remotes, but when one device acts as the remote for three receivers, two Blu-Ray players and a TV, our iPad gets a workout every day. This is where the NewerTech NuGuard comes into play for protecting the iPad 2 and it's also where we'll start this review.

If it's late August, that must mean high school football is starting, and if high school football is starting, that must mean there are new arguments over prayer and public-school teams.
The U.S. Supreme Court was very clear in its 2000 ruling in Santa Fe Independent School District v. Doe -- at public schools, there is to be no school-sanctioned religious activity at games. If a student or group of students want to pray independent of the coach? Fine. If a student or group of students want to pray over the public address system? No. (That was specifically the issue in Santa Fe.) If an adult leads the prayer/religious activity or officially approves it? Absolutely not. However, few let go of what they believe is their God-given (I'm not sure there's a pun intended here, given how people feel) right to praise Jesus (it's always Jesus) in an organized fashion at organized public school sports. From the Munster (Ind.) Times:
[Years ago] Hall of Fame coach Don Howell [of Hobart High] said the following on the subject of pregame prayer in the face of those opposed to the practice.
"If the ACLU wants to put me in jail for praying, I'd go," Howell said "I'm looking forward to it. I'd rather be in jail than live in a country that won't let you pray."
The feeling hasn't changed in the past 15 years there.
Howell's best friend, [Hobart assistant coach Tom] Kerr, has carried on for the coach, who has since passed away. It is written on the pregame script — prayer. On the field, in front of all eyes, the Brickies take a knee and Kerr leads them in a prayer.
I'm no lawyer, but I know the American Civil Liberties Union can't put you in jail for praying, or for anything, really, seeing as it has no police or prosecutorial authority. But if these coaches and communities were up on the rule of law, they wouldn't be sanctioning football prayers.
However, they do, and that's why in Florida and Georgia (though not at Hobart, Ind., High -- yet), there are kerfuffles over religion and football, and not because in those states football could be called a religion in its own right.
In Florida, the schools in Orange County, which include Orlando, ordered schools to drop the position of team chaplain after a complaint was filed by the Freedom From Religion Foundation, which has gotten involved in numerous battles over whether church has made its way too far onto the public field. It's also filed a similar complaint with the schools in Seminole County, Fla. In Georgia, it's a different organization, the American Humanists Association, that is accusing one high school in the Hall County school system of illegally conducting coach-led prayers, and putting Bible verses on team materials, and is also pressing the schools to do more than it has so far to stop the practices.
The pattern, being played out in Florida and Georgia, is that the locals decry the outsiders messing with their way of life, and by the way, I never heard anyone complain. Except that with both the Freedom From Religion Foundation and the American Humanist Association, neither acts until it gets a complaint from someone locally. Clearly, somebody has an issue with the practices. The reason these organizations step in is to willingly take the heat away from the person who has to live among the local outrage.
In many cases, the local districts, not wanting to spend what limited money they have defending lawsuits, do accede to the request of the big, bad, outside group of atheists, and order the offending practice dropped. As a Christian, I don't see why that's a problem. Religion and prayer are very personal. If players or coaches want to pray by themselves before a game, have at it. If players willingly want to meet in a prayer circle after the game, sure, why not. But if you're a public school, you can't do anything that smacks of your making religion a required part of the game. At least, unless the Supreme Court changes it mind.

Troubled Toon striker Craig Bellamy has denied he made any racist comments during an alleged bust-up.
The 23-year-old ace was in Cardiff preparing for Wales Euro 2004 clashes against Azerbaijan and Serbia and Montenegro when trouble was said to have broken out.
Bellamy was alleged to have been involved in a row when he was thrown out of a nightclub which led to an Asian doorman complaining he had been the victim of verbal and racial abuse. The £30,000-a-week Newcastle United striker was questioned by police when he voluntarily went to see South Wales detectives yesterday and he has been ordered to appear before Cardiff Magistrates at a date yet to be fixed.
Bellamy is refusing to discuss the alleged incident but his solicitors today issued a statement saying he denied any allegations.
Graham Shear, of London-based firm Teacher Stern Selby, said: "Speculation by the press as to an alleged incident involving Craig Bellamy was addressed by Craig when he voluntarily met with police in Cardiff.
"He provided information with respect to an incident which allegedly occurred in the early hours of Monday, March 24 in Cardiff city centre.
"Craig will not be entering into a dialogue with the press as to matters discussed. However he firmly and categorically denies that any racist comments were made."
Toon supremo Freddy Shepherd yesterday insisted that Bellamy was not a racist.
Wales boss Mark Hughes said he would look at Bellamy's mental state before deciding if he will play in this Saturday's clash.

"A fascinating book that news junkies will appreciate deeply."

Media War is available for the Amazon Kindle and as a Google eBook.
Insights, commentary, and book reviews on the history and future of media and warfare. From the dawning of the age of popular war to the War on Terrorism, this blog is all about the interaction between the government, the military, the people, the media, and war.
"A fascinating book that news junkies will appreciate deeply."
"In Operation Iraqi Freedom, insurgent and terrorist groups have demonstrated the capability to use small, relatively insignificant tactical attacks, amplified through the megaphone of the media, to dramatic effect on the will of the American public to prosecute the war. This capability has neutralized the overwhelming advantage the US military has in firepower in Iraq by bypassing it completely. Recent trends (including Israel's abortive war in Lebanon in 2006) suggest that this capability is proliferating and will characterize every enemy the US military faces for the foreseeable future. Left unchecked, this capability will weaken the United States' ability to project military power for all but the most finite, decisive future conflicts."

The most wonderful time of the year is closer that we think. Or is it just me? The stores seem to be full of holiday items already and I am holding Holiday Cookies by in my hands, looking through my calendar and planning all the things we shall bake come December.
der Nederlander, a food stylist and recipe developer from California has put together a lovely collection of holiday recipes. The book includes a wide variety from classics and ever popular recipes to international favorites and ideas for decorating. I am particularly curious about spiced cookies, as we are too used to sweet treats. Holiday confections section of the book is a nice bonus.
Very excited about making our holidays even more merry with this lovely book. Beautiful photography, the recipes seem very doable and ingredients are easy to find. Might make a little "holidays around the world" event with the international recipes with the kids. 5 stars.
I received this book via Blogging for Books in exchange for a fair and unbiased review

|This article is within the scope of WikiProject Religion, an attempt to build a comprehensive guide to Religion-related articles on Conservapedia. If you would like to participate, you can edit this article, or visit the project page, where you can join the project and/or contribute to the discussion.
I just made a change to make it clear that the 9 sins according to the church of satan, including commentary contained therein, is from the Church of Satan's website. Even so, this article is unbalanced. Please add criticisms and/or other balancing material. Thanks. HeartOfGoldtalk 20:22, 20 May 2007 (EDT)
I have omitted the word "cult" from "cult beliefs". As there is no standardized definition of what separates a "cult" from a "religion", it would be best to refrain from using what is generally considered an offensive or condescending term. KxWaal 22:23, 28 June 2007 (EDT)
- (taken from http://www.cultinformation.org.uk/faq.html#cult)"Every cult can be defined as a group having all of the following five characteristics:
1.It uses psychological coercion to recruit, indoctrinate and retain its members
2.It forms an elitist totalitarian society.
3.Its founder leader is self-appointed, dogmatic, messianic, not accountable and has charisma.
4.It believes 'the end justifies the means' in order to solicit funds recruit people.
5.Its wealth does not benefit its members or society."
If you can point out one characteristic out of these that the c.o.s. is guilty of, i'd like to know. While the term "cult" can be used to loosely characterize any creed or doctrine, by this definition Christianity, Judaism etc. would also fall under the term. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by KxWaal (talk)
- "A group or doctrine with religious, philosophical or cultural identity sometimes viewed as a sect, often existent on the margins of society." We don't need to point out any of the things you list above, we also don't mince our words for fear of "offending" the gentle souls at the Church of Satan. File:User Fox.png Fox (talk|contribs) 07:06, 9 July 2007 (EDT)
- KxWaal, I don't know of any major, or minor organized Christian religious group, nor any Rabinical Councils, that any of the 5 points applies to. Do you? --Sysop-TK /MyTalk 13:52, 9 July 2007 (EDT)
- TK, you have obviously misinterpreted what I said. I pointed out that I have found two differing definitions of the term "cult": The first being a group that can be characterized by those 5 points, the second one being a broad term that can define just about any creed. Mainstream Christianity definitely is not guilty of the prior, neither is Anton Lavey's idea of Satanism.
- Satanism is really more of a philosophy anyhow. Think humanism with a fashion sense. The whole "church" part is really just combination of their ideas that a)man needs ceremony in life and b)image is everything. While (b) might seem shallow, as Wesley R. Simpson, current Church Of Satan leader put it: "All religion is show-business, We're just the only church that admits it."
- All I'm saying is, if you had used the word "cult" to describe Scientology instead, that crazy cult would probably have tried to sue you. ;) --KxWaal User_talk:KxWaal/talk 21:55, 10 July 2007 (EDT)
- I've got to agree that it's not really a cult: cults are much more manipulative. It's just a provocative name for an atheistic philosophy. Traditional Conservative 22:29, 8 September 2007 (EDT)
- Yeah. In response to the five points mentioned by KxWaal: 1. They aren't "recruiting". People get to find out themselves. 2. They don't have any major political views. They let the government decide what's best for the society. 3. Satanism have existed far longer than Anton LaVey. He just put all the pieces together. 4. Once again, they don't recruit. And all satanists is responsible to their actions. No influence whatsoever from the "leaders". 5. Maybe because there's almost no money needed. They aren't taking money from their members. I have never been charged anything and I'm still a member of the Church of Satan. Laveyan 18:13, 30 January 2008 (EST)

How Graphiq And Distil Use Anti Bot Software
My name is Ivgeni Segal. I am the Principle Cloud Architect at Graphiq. Graphiq is a semantic technology company that powers over 10 billion interactive visualizations and over 20 structured research sites to help disseminate data across a number of important industries. We work hard to make important data available to everyday people, and the key word here is people. So we want our data to be easily accessible to people but not to bots. And we had, basically, increasing problem of bots trying to scrape our sites and steal our data.
The problem got bad enough that we found ourselves spending a significant amount of engineering time every day, several hours a day, dealing with the bots. So dealing with that problem is not our core business.
Even the more sophisticated scrapers that we were never able to block ourselves using automation, we found that Distil is able to take care of them. There was just no way that in house we would be able to develop something like this and focus on our core business at the same time.
Just like many other customers, we use restful API's for our main site as well as for our mobile and some other upcoming products. So being able to protect our data on the API side is very important to us.
Distil Networks does something that is very rare in the industry, it's one of the leaders in the industry in terms of security. And, I guess, the simplest way to put it is Distil makes my job easier as an infrastructure person and at the simplest point Distil protects our data from being stolen.
"Even the more sophisticated scrapers that we were never able to block ourselves using automation, we found that Distil was able to take care of them."

Well, I'm not really a homebody. I think I'm gone more than I'm here, for the most part. But we haven't left the house a whole lot in a few days. Why would we? In between "do nothing" days (which honestly are anything but), we had friends over on Sunday.
Today, Boyness and I spent several hours harvesting the wild overgrowth around us. A portion of the returns (about 1/4 of what we packed up today), in our uber-high-tech drying bags and ready for placement:
As we started to get ready to go inside, we had some visitors:
They're so nice, it almost makes you forget that they're the buggers that eat everything in your garden.
Boyness found the one and only strawberry to escape the deer, so of course he got to eat it. He said it was good.
We followed the deer down the driveway, trying to be quiet on bare feet, but the little one was pretty unsettled by us, so once they'd gone around the bend we let them be.

As time allows I continue adding images from the past. Today's update is the Rob Zombie live photo gallery. Which now features images from 50 shows going back to 2002 .
My first Zombie show was White Zombie opening for Pantera August 12, 1996 At the Riviera theater in Chicago. At the time I knew nothing about them, but have been a fan eve since. From White Zombie to his solo band, and all of his movie's.
My 20 year career actually is due to my friendship with Rob's guitarist John 5 . John and I met back in 1998 trading KISS posters . Back 1996 I shot the re union tour , seeing the photos John said " these are great , you should do this for a living ! " He and I have remained friends ever since, the rest is history .
2002 was the first time photographing the band at Alpine Valley in East Troy Wisconsin. Since then I have shot nearly 60 shows all over the country. Festivals have included Ozzfest , Mayhem Fest , Uproar , Rock On The Range , Louder Than Life and others.

Victim-Blaming: A Guest Post
9 comments:
Ahhh, Beau! This is so sweet and thoughtful of you. Being single, I choose to just live vicariously through your guys fantastic relationship. But cuteness aside, I love that you bring up victim blaming in a non-sexual context as an example. Being able to recognize it in everyday things makes it so much easier to connect it in other circumstances. So as always, thank you for your insightful comments both Beau and Belle.ReplyDelete
Hayley AKA Classy in KCReplies
Thanks, Hayley! He's definitely a keeper. :)Delete
As always, we appreciate your kind words. ♥
I love it when the guys take over the blog for a day! So sweet. I like this different approach to victim blaming; it made me think of it in a different way. Hope you get those panties back ;)ReplyDeleteReplies
Isn't it sweet?! I didn't even ask him; he just did it!Delete
I doubt I will ever get the panties back. :( Beau bought me a bunch of replacement pairs, but since most of the original ones were older, I couldn't replace them exactly. Including this one super-cute pink and cream pair that just made my butt look amazing. I would just stare at my backside in the mirror for a good five minutes each morning I wore them. No other pair of underwear has every been that magical.
I love this post from Beau. I'm glad that you've opened his eyes to victim blaming as well! Plus he's such a keeper for being so wonderful and willing to help you out any way he can! xxReplyDeleteReplies
We learn a lot from each other. :) Plus he does everything he can to make my life less stressful, which I really appreciate.Delete
I did notice the first letter is very callous about the theft. Is one supposed to stay put in the laundry room from beginning till end of the cycle??ReplyDelete
P.S.- It's adorable, having a boyfriend who cooks, cleans and blogs for you. Voluntarily ;)Replies
Yes, my landlord literally expects me to stay in the laundry room with my laundry from beginning to end. Never mind how hot it gets in a tiny room with no AC during the summer.Delete
Beau wanted me to point that out. Yes, he is adorable. :)
Belle, you've got a good one.ReplyDelete

IQuest Global needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 52 designs submitted by 15 freelance designers.
IQuest Global Enrichment Center
Hello designers:
I am in the process of opening up a new community enrichment center that will help our next generation explore their potential and gain valuable skills necessary to compete in today's globally competitive world. IQuest Global Enrichment Center will be offering fun and innovative classes that will challenge each student's mind and offer them an opportunity to develop their creative and critical thinking skills. Course offerings are dynamic by nature and will evolve around community interest and demand. Here's an idea of what we offer: 3D video-game programming, Lego robotics, critical languages – Chinese & Spanish, visual math, reading theaters, and visual art. The center is located in the hill country area of Austin, Texas - the melting pot of the Mid-west.
The name IQuest derived from the notion that each one of us has our own individual quest in life – and it is during this lifetime, that we seek to attain the necessary skills and experiences to fulfill this quest. In brief, our enrichment center's goal is to help each student develop the pertinent skills and self-motivation to fulfill their personal quest.
For the logo, I am looking for something that is unique, modern, simple, clean, and reflects "forward-thinking" energies. It should incorporate elements of movement, abstract play with letters or form designs incorporated into the letters. Some typical symbols that come to mind are: globe, light bulb, magnifying glass … I am not opposed to using any of these, as long as they can be presented in an innovative way. Feel free to submit what you think conjures up the image of fulfilling your personal quest. I am open to color schemes. I enjoy the creative process and love it when people are able to think outside the box (and am amazed by those who believe there is no box to begin with). :)
Since this center caters to both adults and children, I'd like to keep the logo more towards the classy side instead of being too cute and whimsical. Please include the entire name on the logo designs (IQuest Global Enrichment Center). The tagline is "See the Possibilities", but that may be too busy to incorporate. This Logo design will shape the identity for the entire company. It needs to transfer easily from store signage to website design as well as all of our stationery needs.
Thank you in advance for all of your creative efforts. I look forward to seeing all the possibilities. Please feel free to ask for clarification on the concept anytime.

The Center for Middle Eastern Studies administers an interdisciplinary Master of Arts program designed for students with diverse career goals. The program is rooted in intensive study of the languages and history of the Middle East but also offers a high degree of flexibility in coursework. Many MA graduates gain admission to top PhD programs, while others have been successful in government, non-profit, and private sector careers. Students may be admitted to the Master of Arts program in either the Division of the Social Sciences or the Humanities and will receive the degree from the division through which they have registered. Students with significant previous training in Middle Eastern or Islamic studies who wish to earn a doctoral degree leading to careers in research and college or university teaching should apply for admission directly to one of the graduate doctoral departments or committees of the University.
The Center for Middle Eastern Studies, in collaboration with the faculty of the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations, now offers a version of the MA in Middle Eastern Studies focusing on the cultures and languages of the ancient Near East. The Ancient Near Eastern track is designed for students considering an academic career who do not yet have the appropriate academic background for direct entrance into a doctoral program in ancient Near Eastern studies. It is also suitable for students who wish to use knowledge of the ancient Near East in careers other than university teaching and research.
Program Requirements
The requirements are satisfactory completion of:
- Six quarters of a Middle Eastern language (through at least two year proficiency);
- One quarter core colloquium: Approaches to the Study of the Middle East;
- Three quarters of an approved integrated Middle Eastern survey course.
- Seven electives from courses offered in any department, division, or school;
- One course in thesis preparation, or reading and research;
- A master's thesis.
Only courses taken for a quality grade count toward fulfilling the requirements. No P or R grades will be accepted.
The requirements for the ancient track MA mirror those for the modern track described above. Students must complete two years of an ancient Near Eastern language (for example, Akkadian, Egyptian, classical Hebrew, Hittite), an introductory seminar Approaches to the Study of the Ancient Near East, a year long history sequence, an acceptable MA thesis, and seven additional elective courses. Such electives may concentrate on one or explore several of the fields of ancient Near Eastern studies such as, for example, archaeology, Cuneiform Studies, Egyptology, Semitic linguistics, as well as related disciplines such as Art History, Anthropology, Classics, History and Linguistics. Otherwise the application process and the rules and conditions for financial aid are like those for the modern track.
The Master of Arts program (including the core course and a three quarter survey course, six quarter language courses and three or four relevant electives) offers a joint degree option with the Harris School of Public Policy Studies or the Graduate School of Business. A student may earn the M.P.P. in Public Policy or the M.B.A. along with the A.M in Middle Eastern Studies in an integrated joint program normally requiring a total of three years of study. These joint degree programs require a separate application to each degree granting entity.

Students who elect to study Arabic will concentrate on the modern literary language. Students who elect to study Persian, Turkish, Uzbek, Armenian, or Hebrew will concentrate on the modern and contemporary idiom.
Core Courses
For the modern track MA, all students are required to take the core colloquium Approaches to the Study of Middle East (CMES 30001). Students must enroll in one of the following three quarter sequences: Islamic History & Society (NEHC 31000, 31100, 31200/HIST 35704, 35804, 35904), or Islamic Thought & Literature (NEHC 30601, 30602, 30603/ SOSC 22000, 22100, 2220). Those with substantial previous work in Islamic studies will be advised to substitute, where appropriate, more advanced and specialized courses in the field.
In consultation with advisers, students select courses providing instruction in skills related to their future careers. These courses may be in research methodology; statistics; cross cultural, demographic, or economic analysis; or computer training. They may be selected from the offerings of departments in the graduate divisions, such as the Departments of Economics, Statistics, or Sociology; or of the professional schools, such as the Graduate School of Business, the Law School, the Harris School of Public Policy Studies or the School of Social Service Administration.
Students are strongly encouraged to consider participating in the University Writing Program (Little Red Schoolhouse).

Master's Thesis
Students are required to submit a master's thesis that should deal with a problem relevant to the student's intended career and should give evidence of the specialized disciplinary aspects of his or her training. The student's program adviser and a faculty member with special interest in the subject of the paper will guide the research and writing of the paper and judge whether it exhibits proof of competence in the field. During the writing of the paper, the student will register for a thesis preparation or reading and research course. The thesis title will be listed on the student's transcript.

coolest and best Batmobile ever
I don't know what I like most about this Batmobile; the spray-painted hubcaps, the poorly applied tint sticker in the rear window, the fuzzy Batman logo on the sidedoors, or the bat fins on the trunk. I suppose the bat fins are the most distinct feature on this car. I do have to give props […]

Today is day two of the juice cleanse and I didn't fade in the gym but I did on the bike. As I started to head around Mercer Island this guy passed me and so I tried to hang with him. He proceeded to drop me slowly as I was determined to not push a big gear and I was practically bonking from having ingested about 1,500 calories total in the last 30 hours.
Then we turned the corner at the south end of the island and the head wind turned into a tail wind. And incredibly I started to pull him back. I think he was just riding in the same gear pretty much all the time (he would stand on the small inclines and I would shift down) whereas I was trying to keep the effort constant. With the wind at my back I sped up and he didn't.
I actually managed to pass him and then he glued himself to my wheel. Whatever. I was pretty much pegged with my tank pretty darn close to empty and my heart rate sitting pretty steady at 155-160 (see below). To me that's not exactly a recovery ride!
After a couple of miles on my wheel he accelerated around me and dropped me again; this time for good.
Oh man was my ride across the bridge slow. And look at my speed! In spite of my perceived effort I was pretty much crawling.
After my ride I showered and hopped on the bathroom scale. OMG. I have not seen that number since high school.
I didn't eat absolutely nothing on my ride today but I didn't cheat on the cleanse either. I split one of the bottles of juice (kind of a lemonade) between my two bottles and then added some green tea to each until they were full. The juice had like 110 calories so each of my bottles had a whopping 55! It felt like I was sipping spring water with a squirt of lemon juice (and I might as well have been). Not very helpful in other words.

"When I built my first stretcher, it was like finding a big surprise. It let me reinforce what I had been doing with painting, which was playing around with points of tension, ideas about the canvas as a fabric, as something I could manipulate and explore different possibilities with, not just within the gallery but also with the rectangle. Painting didn't have to be just rectangular—I really wanted to challenge that."

My old friend and former teacher Steve Orlen and I walked many miles together along the wide avenues of Tucson, Arizona. Our promenades usually took place after the dinner hour, in the evening, when the blazing heat of the Sonoran day had at last relented. An evening breeze would finally have arisen, and the little desert sparrows flew back and forth between the lofty crowns of the palm trees that line those streets.

The epigraph: that little sentence or quote that precedes a story, chapter, or essay. Roxane Gay can't stand them. Over the last decade, she's made her case. In PANK in 2009: "[T]here is never a good reason for an epigraph in the creative form... I'm even starting to resent epigraphs in essays and short stories." In a book review in 2011: "I never find the relevance of an epigraph no matter how hard I try."

Q. Is Tinnitus diet related?
Tinnitus – the perception of sound in proximity to the head in the absence of an external source – has many causes. If it is related to atherosclerotic plaque, high blood pressure or neurological disease such as multiple sclerosis, dietary changes could help. This being said, tinnitus is not typically associated as a nutritional disease, and one should seek professional medical evaluation from their health care professional to ascertain the plan of care most appropriate for them.

I had tinnitus that sounded like I was at a creek with all the bugs singing. I quit eating wheat and gluten and in three to four days my ears stopped ringing. I hope this helps others. Judi
2 May 9, 2014, 6:46 AM PDT
I hear a ringing sound in my ear that seems to be due to excess wax. It lessens when I am able to remove some. But now the ear is infected. I have tried hot and cold treatment, and according to the suggestions of others: lobelia a couple of times and peroxide a couple of times. But there is still pain and some drainage. Any other natural remedy suggestions?
3 Oct 5, 2014, 1:58 AM PDT
A friend of mine rubbed on her baby Thieves oil, a drop rubbed in front of ear, and a drop behind the ear. She said she saw results immediately;baby stopped pulling her ear. Ear infection went away. And this was after 3 rounds of antibiotic drops didn't work. Thieves oil is from company Young Living, therapeutic grade. http://www.youngliving.com. If order, put in Member # 1553428, which will bring you into connection with Liz, who went through the ear infection experience. Hope that helps. Terry

Essential oils are very potent and must be used with caution. They were originally made for aromatherapy and I was told that some practitioners have seen ill consequences of them not being used properly, especially in children, when topical and internally given. Just know that in order to use topically they should be diluted in a carrier oil and you should check with a practitioner before ingesting ones that others have claimed may be ingested. And yes I do use essential oils, just want people to be safe. More is not always better…

LONDON Oil fell below $33 a barrel on Thursday for the first time since April 2004 as a fall in Chinese shares rattled investors already concerned by near-record production and massive stockpiles of unwanted crude and refined products.
Oil prices have fallen by around 70 percent since mid-2014, hurting oil companies and governments that rely on crude revenue.
China let its yuan currency slip on Thursday, sending regional currencies and stock markets globally tumbling. The offshore yuan fell to its lowest since trading started in 2010.
China's stock markets were suspended less than half an hour after opening on Thursday after sharp falls triggered a new circuit-breaking mechanism for a second time since its introduction this week.
"Negative sentiment is hurting demand expectations, growth is easing in China and there is a spillover from the inventory build in (US) gasoline stocks from yesterday and this is reflected in prices," said Hans van Cleef, senior energy economist at ABN Amro in Amsterdam.
Brent fell more than 5 percent to a low of $32.16 before paring some of its losses. It stood down 3.4 percent at $33.07 at 1230 GMT.
US crude futures hit a low of $32.10, their lowest since late 2003, before bouncing slightly to $32.72.
Prices trimmed early losses, with violence in the Middle East and north Africa offering a measure of support for the market.
A military training centre in the Libyan town of Zliten was hit by a truck bomb on Thursday, causing dozens of casualties, witnesses said, while dozens of air strikes hit the Yemeni capital Sanaa.
However, oil's rapid fall has made a prediction that Goldman Sachs made last year that crude could fall as low as $20 per barrel seem less outlandish than it then seemed.
On Wednesday, US government data showed a 10.6-million-barrel surge in gasoline supplies, the biggest weekly build since 1993.
Analysts said further builds in global inventories are possible, putting more pressure on prices.
"All looks set for yet higher oil inventories on top of already record high levels," said Bjarne Schieldrop, chief commodities analyst at SEB in Oslo.
"European crude and product inventories are close to full with Asian inventories moving closer to capacity during Q1 2016, with global residual surplus most likely having to be stored in the US, resulting in a potentially rapidly rising US oil inventories." Technical analysts also said there was little to stop the price tumbling further.
"The 'bear-fest' has now begun," PVM technical analyst Robin Bieber said. "The trend is down and likely to accelerate lower – it is not advised to be long. There are targets lower and these are likely to be mere staging posts on a much bigger move south." Exacerbating the oil market woes is weakening demand, especially in Asia including China, which is seeing its slowest economic growth in a generation.

Jesus, My Jesus
Wrap me in Your embrace
I'm all alone with You
Whisper Your words in my ear
Remind me love is true
Jesus, my Jesus
I need You
Open my eyes again
Show me something grand
Amaze me with Your works
With the power of Your hand
Jesus, my Jesus
Expectantly I stand
You said You loved me
But why do You seem so far?
You said You're my light
But why are the days so dark?
Jesus, my Jesus
Keep me where You are
Your Word does not tarry
You remind me I'm blessed
In punishments, in tests
Still I'll trust Your best
Jesus, my Jesus
In You I'll rest

When Instagram video first launched, my friends used it to share footage of their pets and friends. I, on the other hand, used it to detail my all out war against the notorious New York City mice.
Looking back on my adjustment to life in the big city, I realise now that grappling with a rodent problem taught me several important lessons. Indeed, I often apply what I've learned then to other situations with great success.
I survived New York City and its many mice to share these six tips that you can also use in your daily life.
1. Release your expectations.
The images of New York City sold to us in the Caribbean include those of beautiful skylines, busy streets and flashing billboards across Times Square. That's why some people are shocked by the realities of the metropolitan when they move there.
New York City has a millions of rats and mice. In fact, Orkin ranks it as the second "rattiest" city in the United States, based on the number of rodent treatments conducted from October 1, 2015 to September 30, 2016.
Dealing with such a pervasive issue formed part of the culture shock I experienced when I first moved to New York City. However, I moved passed the initial stress of the situation by letting go of expectations.
Once you stop focusing on how you think life should be and learn to accept what is actually in front of you, your anxiety and stress with lessen. Only then will you start to make the changes you need for you to be happy.
2. Focus on solutions, not problems.
With mice literally swinging from my curtains, I had the choice of complaining about the problem or finding a solution. My budget was tight but thanks to the internet and a few trips to corner store, I found affordable items to help me in the fight.
I tried various traps that didn't work, and even more humane approaches, such as spreading black pepper in the kitchen cupboards. Almost all failed but each attempt at catching the mice fueled me more.
When you're faced with a problem, take a step back to consider the solutions. Worrying about it won't make it go away. Instead, be resourceful and find clever workarounds that work for you.
3. Be proactive.
After surviving my first winter in the company of rodents, I accepted that the New York City mice were there to stay. Yet, that didn't mean I was content with letting them control life or my kitchen counter space.
To prepare for the colder months when the mice typically came indoors, I thought of ways to make my environment work for me and against the pests. I kept entrances sealed, covered the toilet to prevent their access through the pipes, and tried bribe my neighbours' cats to join the fight.
Being proactive means focusing on prevention instead of only dealing with problems after they occur. Pay attention to signs of trouble in your life and take steps to ensure your don't succumb to possible problems.
4. Set your ego aside.
Growing up in Trinidad and Tobago, talk of rodents in someone's home caused great shame. Thus, when the New York City mice took residence in my apartment, I was embarrassed to tell anyone, and I tried to fight them on my own.
However, when I realised the problem was beyond my abilities, I finally asked for help. Not only did I tap into the years of experience and knowhow of people in my community but I also learned a lesson in humility.
Letting our egos dictate our lives prevents us from learning from each other. Indeed, humility and openness will take you further than trying to do everything by yourself.
5. Understand you are not alone.
During a live chat with fans on Saturday Night with Romeo, Madonna's bathroom was invaded by an uninvited guest: A rodent. As skin-crawling as the scene was to watch, it taught us that nobody is immune to the scourge that is New York City mice.
In fact, the American Housing Survey states that over 1.1 million households in New York reported issues with mice or rats in 2015. That accounted for over 16 percent of all homes that participated in the study..
Simply, no matter what you face in life, there is someone who understands. By sharing your stories, you can find comfort in knowing there are people who have experienced what you're going through.
6. Express gratitude.
I never thought I would be grateful for my time with mice but fighting them has made me a more observant, solution-oriented person. Moreover, I have learned to laugh at those eventful days because living with rodents was certainly not boring.
There is always something for which you can express gratitude. No matter how grim circumstances may seem, look at them as opportunities to grow instead of punishments.
This quote is long but it serves this point well!
"Be thankful that you don't already have everything you desire. If you did, what would there be to look forward to?
Be thankful when you don't know something, for it gives you the opportunity to learn.
Be thankful for the difficult times. During those times you grow.
Be thankful for your limitations because they give you opportunities for improvement.
Be thankful for each new challenge, because it will build your strength and character.
Be thankful for your mistakes. They will teach you valuable lessons.
Be thankful when you're tired and weary because it means you've made a difference.
It's easy to be thankful for the good things. A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who are also thankful for the setbacks.
Gratitude can turn a negative into a positive. Find a way to be thankful for your troubles and they can become your blessings." – Anonymous
