Nature's Alchemy - 100% Pure Essential Oil Anise - 0.5 oz. (15 ml)
Nature's Alchemy 100% Pure Essential Anise Oil (Pimpinella anisum ) has a distinctive scent of licorice, rich and sweet. Anise Oil is effective against: bronchitis, colds, coughs, flatulence, flu, muscle aches, and rheumatism. Anise oil is also excellent fish bait and is commonly used by fisherman to attract trout. Pure Anise Oil is also noted as helpful for flatulence, impotence, painful periods, migraines and colic. Anise oil is best used in baths, massage oils, facials and in a diffuser.
Botanical Name: Pimpinella anisumCommon Method of Extraction: Steam DistilledCountry of Origin: SpainColor: ClearConsistency: ThinPerfumery Note: TopStrength of Initial Aroma: Medium
About Anise - Anise Seed essential oil is warm and spicy, distilled from the common kitchen spice. The oil is often used interchangeably with that of Star Anise, as both oils derive their primary therapeutic effect from trans-anethole. This is the natural constituent with the familiar licorice-like aroma ~ similar to Fennel, though sweeter. The plant was one of the earliest aromatics mentioned in literature, and its seeds are used as flavoring in pastries, candy and curry dishes. Also like Fennel, Anise essential oil also has estrogen-like effects, though more pronounced, as it has a higher percentage of trans-anethole. The oestrogen activity of anethole is well-documented, though the 'trans' form may be less potent, and perhaps safer. An herbal infusion of the seeds is used to induce mother's milk. The essential oil has been recommended for use in a carrier, massaged into the abdomen for menstrual pain.
Nature's Alchemy 100% Pure Essential OilThese 100% natural essential oils are meticulously extracted from plants by cold pressing or steam distillation using the same techniques developed by the medieval Persian physician Avicenna. All Nature's Alchemy high-quality botanical oils are scientifically tested for purity and contain no chemical solvents, added alcohol or other extenders. They feature high quality pure oils at competitive prices. Nature's Alchemy Oils are all aromatherapy grade. Please note that Nature's Alchemy cannot recommend use of any oils internally. Follow the guidance of your alternative health care practitioner in utilizing these fragrances.
Essential Oils are perfect for aromatherapy, baths, room fragrancing, personal fragrance, potpourri, massage oil fragrancing or anywhere you would like to have a wonderful fragrance.
The Purity, Quality & Origins of Nature's Alchemy's 100% Pure Essential OilsNature's Alchemy requires their essential oil suppliers to verify their testing methods and supply complete quality analysis on each oil. Two of the standards used in identifying and certifying essential oils are the C.A.S. Number and the Specific Gravity of an oil. The chart on the back panel shows both for each essential oil.
The C.A.S. Number is an international Chemical Abstract Services number which is assigned to all essential oils. Each number identifies the essential oil of a specific plant which corresponds to the botanical name listed.
The Specific Gravity of an essential oil is a measurement of the weight ratio of each oil to water, which has a specific gravity of 1.0. This measurement is one of the main criteria used in verifying the purity of an essential oil.

Nature's Alchemy also require two additional pieces of documentation for individual oils from our suppliers:
Certificates of Analysis document the physical analysis of each batch of essential oil they purchase.
Gas Chromatograph Scans verify the chemical constituents of the essential oils and are so sensitive they can detect the presence of solvents if they have been used in the extraction process. This assures us of the high purity of the oils they purchase.

About Nature's AlchemySince time began, scents have been used to enhance, soothe or excite the spirits. What is more evocative than a drift of rose petals on the breeze, or the bracing freshness of piney woods? Chamomile can conjure up tea, home and comfort, while basil can evoke greenness, freshness and spring. How can you experience these and a host of other scents any time of year, simply by opening a bottle? With Nature's Alchemy Essential Oils, a complete line of pure, naturally distilled botanical essential oils.
For centuries, botanical essential oils–highly concentrated, aromatic oils found in herbs, flowers and trees–have been used to anoint the body, ease the sting of a wound, assure a sound sleep, or turn a simple bath into a rejuvenating or relaxing experience. These feather-light, non-greasy oils can be dissolved in alcohol or mixed with other pure vegetable oils to become a unique part of our personal care regimen.
From religious ceremonies to beauty rituals, essential oils were an integral part of everyday life for our ancestors. The medieval Persian physician Avicenna developed the distillation techniques for extracting these delicate, readily evaporating oils from plants.
Extracting these oils (a very small part of the entire plant) is a painstaking, meticulous process. Avicenna's discoveries have stood the test of time; the finest quality oils are still distilled using natural methods. For Nature's Alchemy, they are committed to using only steam-distillation or cold-pressing. Our high-quality oils are scientifically tested for purity and contain no chemical solvents, added alcohol or other extenders.
The experts at Nature's Alchemy delight in seeking out the rarest desert plants or most exotic tropic foliage to create a rich variety of essential oils. So indulge in a perfumed lotion, try a scented oil massage, or rejuvenate with a refreshing bath. Your mind, body and spirit will thank you.
Nature's Alchemy - combining ancient wisdom and modern science to delight the senses.
Suggested Uses for Essential Oils
Combine essential oils with special massage techniques to relieve stress, soothe the skin or help ease congestion. Many books on aromatherapy techniques can guide you in choosing the right oils to meet your needs.
Body Care
Give your favorite unscented lotions, bath oils, creams and hair care products an exotic lift by mixing in a touch of essential oil. Or give your hair and scalp a refreshing conditioning treatment by placing a few drops of rosemary or lavender oil directly on your natural bristle hairbrush (which also conditions and protects the bristles).
Create a festive mood around the holidays or a sweetly scented mood for spring by "decorating" your home with the fragrance of essential oils. Potpourri, incense, candles and herbal fragrance pillows make unique, personalized gifts. Include a small bottle of essential oil with your potpourri gift, so the recipient can refresh the mixture throughout the year.
Treat yourself to a distinctive natural flavoring in candies and confections. Pure peppermint oil has been used
commercially for many years to make candy canes and chocolate mints.
Environmental Fragrance
Bring your favorite essential oil into your bedroom, bathroom or any room in your home by using a diffuser or by placing a drop of oil on a light bulb before turning it on. This same technique can bring a refreshing reminder of home into a hotel room.
Inhalation and Facial Steam
Steaming hot water with a few drops of a soothing oil like chamomile can be a wonderfully relaxing way to open the pores before a facial treatment. After adding the oil to the steaming water, place a towel over your head and breathe the steam in deeply for several minutes. Take care not to make the water too hot, and keep your face at least six inches from the steaming water.
Enhance the naturally sensuous experience of a massage by adding a few drops of your favorite essential oil to an unscented massage oil. With the appropriate oil, your massage can be relaxing, muscle-soothing or energizing.
Personal Fragrance
Unwind with a spa-like scented bath by adding a few drops of essential oil to your bath water. Or make your own customblended perfume oil by blending a few drops each of your favorite essential oils with a high-quality vegetable oil. Jojoba oil (a plant wax) is highly recommended as the base oil for perfume oils; it will not become rancid and alter your fragrance. Perfume oils are very concentrated and long-lasting; for a less concentrated, lighter scent, make your own perfume by blending essential oils with a pure vegetable-source alcohol.

Double your health benefits with honey and aloe vera!
Get all the great benefits of both of these 100% natural products in one drink.
Honey is the sweetener that we recommend for all your aloe vera drinks. It compliments the health benefits of the aloe vera plant and together these two can help you achieve maximum health and wellness in your every day life. Try to eliminate processed sweeteners from your diet. White sugars, processed sugars, and suger substitutes are just not good for us.
This recipe is said to be the elixir of life and some swear it has even cured cancer, though there are no studies on the topic, but these two together are a very powerful natural healer. Great for colds, flu's and chronic conditions.
This recipe is for a traditional herbal medicine and cure for all that ails you as the folklore goes. This is not a guaranteed cure, it is an age old herbal remedy.
Here is the recipe for Aloe Vera and Honey Elixir:
• 700 ml of Aloe Vera juice (preparation instructions for Aloe Vera juice)
• 200 ml of pure organic honey
• 100 ml whiskey or vodka
• Put in a glass jar the prepared Aloe Vera juice.
• Add the honey and stir vigorously. Make sure that the honey is well mixed (dissolved) with the Aloe Vera juice.
• Add the whiskey or vodka and stir well. Stir every 15 minutes for one hour.
• Cover the jar and let it stand for about 12 hours.
When you mix all of the ingredients together, you will notice that it increases in temperature and gets warm. It is supposed to do this, so don't worry.
Let it cool at room temperature for 10-12 hours. Place it in a clean glass jar with a tight fitting lid and store in the fridge. Your "Elixir" should keep for months.
Shake your jar very well. Take a big tablespoon 15 minutes after every meal. (3X per day) Do not stay on this cycle for more than 10 days and then rest the same amount of days
You may feel sick to your stomach or have the runs, others notice that they get boils and pimples, this is the aloe vera drink detoxing the body and stimulating the immune system. This is why this aloe drink is said to help with cancer. The immune system is strengthened and your own body actually deals with the cancer.
Many people swear by this folk remedy. You must believe it is going to help and allow your body to stimulate those white blood cells to destroy the cancer cells.

Loy Canyon TrailDepending on who you're with, this just might be the most perfect hike in Arizona.
By Leah Duran
Sedona's Loy Canyon Trail borrows its name from the Samuel Loy family, who used this 5-mile path during the 1880s to transport cattle. These days, you won't see cattle, but you might spot deer darting between the junipers and roadrunners scuttling across the entrance to the trailhead, a red-dirt road that mirrors the burnished ruby sandstone cliffs. The mild, meandering ascent to the top is well-rewarded by fantastic views of the Red Rock/Secret Mountain Wilderness.
The first half-mile follows the edge of Hancock Ranch, bordered on the left by barbed wire and gnarled juniper posts. The copper bark of nearby manzanita mimics the rust coloring of this historic fence. Follow the path as it dips gently and crosses into velvet sand that glints golden. You might think you're at the beach, save for the canyon walls rising out of the tree cover to the left. Water's influence in this arid area takes the form of dry, rocky creek beds that crisscross the first few miles of the trail.
After 20 minutes, you'll see a gigantic ponderosa pine, a sure sign that the sun-dappled path is gradually climbing to higher elevations. Crunch through pine cones to Alligator Alley, where the colorful purple-blue berries of alligator juniper trees litter the ground. To the left, just past a stone wall, plum-hued prickly pears grow out of a fallen log. Did the tree make a noise when it fell? Birds claim the only sound, as this route is mostly vacant even on a Saturday. Pause to listen to their songs and shake the sand out of your shoes.
Pass next through a 6-foot-high manzanita grove, followed by an open area. Here, lizards scamper across mint-green lichen amid a graveyard of disintegrated white rocks and dead tree limbs. The standing remnants of wood — sculptures of history — are as impressive as their healthy neighbors. Sweet scents of fresh pine needles permeate the trail as the scenery moves from cactuses to stands of tall, thin pines interspaced by fluffy grasses.
Enjoy this cool, breezy pathway before it ends abruptly in steep switchbacks at about the 4-mile mark. You can start complaining, but you might want to save your breath, because the trail climbs 1,000 feet in the next mile. The forested zigzag bursts into exposed sandstone steps. A quick, 10-minute ascent reveals green robes covering red-rock peaks that stretch to the cerulean sky.
As you continue up the outcrop, be wary of prickly overgrowth and stray barbed wire. Squeeze carefully though the narrow pass until you reach a shady saddle between two trails: Loy Canyon and Secret Mountain. This is the two-and-a-half-hour mark, and a possible turnaround point. But you've made it this far, so why not push up the last ridge? Look for the wooden sign for Loy Canyon and continue several hundred yards to a clearing of ponderosas surrounded by a carpet of soft needles.
The hike may not end with the typical panoramic view, but it does offer the perfect place for a picnic — or a relaxing nap — before climbing back down. The entrance sign to Hancock Ranch near the beginning of the hike encourages visitors to "Walk in Beauty." Take a hike on Loy Canyon Trail, and you'll do just that.

Access "Decision management: Closing the 'Insight-to-Action' gap "
This article is part of the May 2012, Iss. 2 issue of The latest strategies for implementing BPM
Making the right business decisions at the right time has never been more critical than it is in the current recovering—but still largely unforgiving—economic environment. Not surprisingly, that need is driving strong interest in the methodology of, and technology for, decision management. How strong? In recent ebizQ research, three-quarters of the business and IT professionals surveyed were using, planning to use or considering adopting decision management technology this year. Of course, simply making the right decisions—and even automating and optimizing them for maximum efficiency—isn't enough to guarantee success. Meeting today's business mandates requires ensuring that decisions consistently result in real, measurable business results. And experts warn that requirement doesn't apply only to select high-profile strategic and tactical decisions, but also to thousands of lower-level, day-to-day operational decisions. That last category might include thousands of decisions made daily across a major enterprise—for instance, approving a loan at a bank, ... Access >>>

Escaping Haute Cuisine in Calistoga, California
If this were a Fantasia-type cartoon, the smoky aroma would rise up as you approached the Calistoga sign, hypnotically beckoning you with steamy fingers; and you'd float to a place tucked under dappled shadows of towering oaks. This is Buster's Southern Barbecue. Under the trees, every morning, Buster handles slabs of pork like a jovial side show entertainer. Come one, come all at lunchtime. Everything tempts, from slathered slabs to fresh-made salads while his deep laugh cajoles "can you handle our hot sauce?" For now, forget fancy wine and food. Sometimes you just have to get messy.

Modern Good looking, only a lot of finger marks
Mohammad Maysami from Morgantown, WV– Verified Buyer
It is a good looking unit which doesn't look cheap. The material quality is not impressive but strong enough if you are on budget. I like the unit and it's modern look. Only disappointment I had was that it tends to get a lot of finger marks. One more thing is that shelves are not fixed (semi-fixed) They just settle on top of pins but they don't lock or anything which might concern you a bit.

Valentine's Day approaches and romance is in the air — but more in some cities than in others.
Salt Lake City has been named one of the least romantic cities by Foursquare, a location-based social networking site that enables mobile device users to check in at various locations to earn points.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
In a news release, Foursquare said it looked at 3 billion check-ins to determine the cities with the most and least check-ins at romantic places.
Based on check-ins, Foursquare named San Francisco the most romantic city, followed by New Orleans; New York City; Savannah, Ga.; Honolulu; Portland, Ore.; Harrisburg, Pa.; Seattle; Charleston, S.C.; and Denver.
Trenton, N.J., is least romantic based on check-ins, followed by Akron, Ohio; Virginia Beach, Va.; Springfield, Mo.; El Paso, Texas; Raleigh, N.C.; Salt Lake City; Greenville, S.C.; Lansing, Mich.; and Tucson, Ariz.
Foursquare used the same analysis to conclude that flower shops nationwide are the most popular spot for last-minute Valentine's Day shoppers. (3 p.m. is the busiest time.) In addition, French restaurants are the most popular place to take your dates.

Now the party wants to steal back the artifact because they feel the person who has it isn't responsible enough to protect it. I agree because it will be fun for my group but really I don't have any good in game reasons for doing so. How can I still feel like I'm playing an honorable knight and also let my rogue buddy rob someone blind or execute a prisoner or something.

Wednesday, June 13, 2012
So weighed myself the other day and 5 pounds have managed to somehow sneak back on me! How rude right! I suppose it could be worse. I hadn't weighed myself in a while and those unsuspecting 5lbs could have brought 10 friends. I have a couple things going on now. My hours at work have switched from A shift to C shift for a little while which is a big change but I am adjusting pretty well to it. I thought it would be a great opportunity to try and focus in and structure myself for weight-loss. My biggest problem is myself. I'll be the first to admit that I do not have a lot of self-control or self discipline. I noticed something today. I've been eating pretty well for the past couple days, lighter fare, more vegetables, low on the refined carbs and I really feel a difference. I feel more energetic. Today before coming to work I had a heavy dinner, whole grain pasta with breaded chicken sauce and cheese and mixed vegetable in butter. I feel icky, lethargic, I kind of want to take a nap. I hate feeling this way. I love when I feel energetic. It restores my optimism that I can accomplish this task set before me. I can get healthy, lose weight, take care of my body before weight related health complications have a chance to come upon me. When I feel lethargic it seems like to much effort to even try. What I really need to do is start moving. My job is sedentary, when I get home I am sedentary. I am really lacking motivation in that area. Tricks don't work either. I know it sounds silly to say that, I just need to do it, how hard can that be? But let me tell you. No one can talk me out of doing something quicker than I can talk my self out of doing it. I am my own worst enemy when it comes to losing weight. Tuesday morning when I got home from work I did get moving. I was doing my dishes and decided my kitchen floor really need to be mopped (when was the last time I don't even remember) but instead of getting the mop out and making light work of it I picked up a bucket and a scrub brush and put a little elbow grease into it. Maybe not what most people would call a workout, but my body was moving, I was working up a sweat, plus.. my kitchen floor is now sparkling. One of my problems is that there always seems to be a million things on the "to-do" list and exercise always ends up at the bottom. Where's the time for it most days? I find myself getting overwhelmed.

Republican gubernatorial hopeful Nathan Deal on Tuesday said teachers have told him they want more freedom in the classroom, and the former congressman has responded with an education plan he said would do just that.
Deal unveiled an education platform that is designed to address those concerns. He said teachers have told him, "don't make us have to teach to a test."
Surrounded by more than two dozen current state lawmakers and a number of legislative candidates at the Capitol, Deal said he would focus on making classroom teachers partners in the state's education system, would devise incentives to attract and retrain teachers in key disciplines and would promote the expansion of charter schools.
"I have listened to Georgians and believe this plan has the right elements to bring needed changes to public education in Georgia," he said.
One part of the plan is called "move on when ready," which would allow a teacher to determine if a student is ready to move up a grade during the school year. For example, if a third grade teachers decides a student is prepared, that student could take the state's standardized test and move on to the fourth grade.
"We will no longer tie the hands of students and teachers by imposing arbitrary 'seat time' requirements," Deal said.
Deal's campaign said the details of the plan, including what happens if the student takes the test early but fails, would be decided later.
Deal, who faces Democrat Roy Barnes and Libertarian John Monds in November, also said he would emphasize education in science, technology, engineering and math. He would offer incentives to college students to earn teaching certificates in those areas and to serve in Georgia schools. Those incentives would include forgiving student loans.
Part of that emphasis on science and math would extend to the creation of charter high schools that focus on those key subjects, he said.
Read Deal's entire plan at his website.
He said Tuesday he believes he can pay for his proposals with $19 million.
Barnes, too, has released an education plan that focuses on increasing teacher pay, reducing class sizes and banning teacher furloughs.
Barnes' campaign said Deal's plan is too little, too late.
"Unfortunately, Rep. Deal's solutions would open the door to school vouchers and starve our public education system that is currently experiencing teacher furloughs, larger class sizes and fewer school days," Barnes spokeswoman Anna Ruth Williams said. "From day one, Roy's priority has been education – that's why over the past year he's visited over 90 counties, listening to Georgia's educators and developing a comprehensive plan to make education work in Georgia again."
Monds, meanwhile, wants to encourage more charter schools and give parents a $4,000 tax credit to send their children to private schools.

Good to see proposals that face the fact that our state is broke! Tell a contractor or a care dealer we need to pay more taxes to fund new programs in education. I'm also ready to see our brightest kids not held back any longer. I just might vote republican, yet.

Isn't there already a process in place for kids who are performing above grade level; to be skipped to the next grade? Does that not already exist in Georgia? I'm not from Georgia, but in my high school there were several kids in my graduating class that had skipped one or two grades in elementary school. One of the young ladies was not allowed to attend our junior prom, due to her age.

Nathan Deal presents real solutions that we can actually afford. Roy Barnes presents empty promises that our state cannot afford. Empty promises vs. real solutions. Once again Roy ignores the teachers and just tells them what he thinks they want to hear. Arrogance defined.

As a public school teacher, here is what I would like to see:
1. An attendance policy with teeth – If you miss ____ days in a semester for any reason, you lose credit for that course. A student cannot learn if they are not there.
2. An SAT requirement of 1500 (the national average) for HOPE
3.Require any 5th year senior or 19 year old to attend an alternative school and not be allowed in a traditional public school.
4. Elimination of the End of Course Tests OR the Graduation Test. Having both is time consuming and redundant.
5. Never base an individual teacher's pay on his students' test scores. Maybe at the school or system level.
6. Less emphasis on special ed and more emphasis on gifted.
7. Choice – give students the choice of where they attend and give schools the choice of who they let in. Everything runs more smoothly when everybody is where they want to be.
8. Tax credits (not vouchers) up to the state average per student for money spent on private education. Public school is not for everybody.
9. Make state board seats elected positions, not just pawns of the governor.
10. Require annual drug tests to enroll in school for grades 7-12.

m glad we're actually seeing details instead of vague Bs that we see everyday in Washington. Allow the students who are ready to move on. We can't keep this nonsense of everyone as equals anymore. People have different talents and to think they learn at the same pace is ludicrous. I am willing to pay higher taxes if it means we're getting our kids better prepared for their futures but not if we're just talking about pay riases for admin. Sorry but the teachers also need to be put on a better evaluation process. Those who excel get raises or better yet incentives like bonuses or an incentive that goes ot their retirement. We need to bring back competition in our classroom. There is a reason why the majority of Dr's now are form Pakistan or India. They have instilled competition at every corner and the kids who take advantage of that are flourishing. There system isn't perfect but its a start.

As an independent voter, who strongly supports choice in schools and Charter schools. I have to say both have great points. I do however lean towards Roy Barnes as I see a little more dedication to Charter Schools. In Nathan Deals proposal I am reading between the lines when he says he supports Charter Schools, but without taking control from local schools. If you have a child who attends a Charter School now, you probably know that the school districts have been suing over the fact that they do not control students who attend charter schools. I read his comment as siding with the school districts on this issue. My child was failing school and is now progressing at a nice pace through a Charter School. I could be reading into Nathan Deals policy wrong and I always try to keep an open mind so I hope to see these plans debated soon!

king, You will not see more of the same because Dr. John Barge ran against Cathy Cox to begin with because he did not like the direction she was taking the DOE. He has stated he want to do away with Math 1,2,3, stop the HSGT and go back to a career and technical diploma in HS. He has also stated he wants more local control and the state office should be for oversight.

What test to move on? Our watered down CRCT which had a 95% on level score for 8th graders, many of whom would barely be on 4th grade level? Also, test scores do not measure maturity levels or develpmental levels. This would become a pressure cooker with parents pressuring teachers to recomend that their children move on. The goalseems to be to save the state money, not improve education
September 7th, 2010
4:58 pm
Who gets to say which students are "ready" to move up, and what would constitute the parameters of such readiness? If students are compared to national rates of excellence on specific standards, then maybe this would be a good idea. If high achieving students stuck in classes of low achievers are moved up to improve the homogeneity of the class, it could serve the teachers' convenience more than the best interest of the students involved. My own kids were among the higher achieving students in their classes but they were average in terms of social development, and putting them among students who were more socially advanced would have been risky. It would be far better to go back to tracking classes by grade so that teachers could have better homogeneity in their students but students would stay within their age cohort.
CDog, I think that your list is an excellent starting point. I would definitely add requirements for parental involvement in getting kids to school prepared to learn and to require that parents of current students contribute either time or money to their children's schools. There is no substitute for an involved parent, and they are as crucial to student success as good teachers, administrators and facilities.

I think taking away money from schools that put athletics ahead of academics will help. It doesn't matter if your school is a high school football champion, if the students are not graduating and are not ready for the job market, that does not do any good for those students.
September 7th, 2010
6:03 pm
Thinking it through, there seems to be a pretty big problem with the "move on when ready" idea. If a student is in third grade, and in March, his teacher decides he's ready, and he passes the test, he won't be simply moving to fourth grade, but rather the tail-end of 4th grade. In order to have an chance to keep up, the kid would essentially have to be at a 5th grade level.
I'm sure there are instances where it would work, but it seems unlikely that there is any true benefit. Unless the kid is truly on a 5th grade level, he wont be moving on with the rest of the 4th grade, or if he does, he'll be ill-prepared for the next school year.
September 7th, 2010
6:39 pm
Nathan Deal doesn't have a clue. Barnes is also pretty clueless, and I am afraid Monds is too out there for a libertarian ($4000 tax credit. Really?) What poppycock!
September 7th, 2010
6:41 pm
Wait! If they can "move up" when ready, that means they can be "held back" when not ready! How many WASP kids do you think would be "held back"?

As a public school teacher, here is what I would like to see:
1. An attendance policy with teeth – If you miss ____ days in a semester for any reason, you lose credit for that course. A student cannot learn if they are not there. I AGREE WITH THIS.
2. An SAT requirement of 1500 (the national average) for HOPE KIND OF ASKING FOR ALOT AREN'T YOU? HOW MANY SAT SCORES OF 1500 DO YOU SEE IN GEORGIA SCHOOLS?
3.Require any 5th year senior or 19 year old to attend an alternative school and not be allowed in a traditional public school. I DISAGREE. SOME KIDS HAVE DONE WELL IN SCHOOL AND HAPPEN TO HIT THEIR 19TH BIRTHDAY BEFORE GRADUATION. EVEN IF A 5TH YEAR SENIOR AS YOU SAY, WHAT IF THEY GOT SICK DURING THEIR 4TH YEAR AND WAS OUT FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR.
4. Elimination of the End of Course Tests OR the Graduation Test. Having both is time consuming and redundant. I AGREE WITH THIS.
5. Never base an individual teacher's pay on his students' test scores. Maybe at the school or system level. I AGREE – MANY TEACHERS HAVE STUDENTS WHO DON'T COMPREHEND ENOUGH ENGLISH TO GET HIGH TEST SCORES AND LEAVE IT AS IT IS – ALL TESTS ARE IN ENGLISH.
6. Less emphasis on special ed and more emphasis on gifted. AND WHAT DO YOU PROPOSE TO DO WITH THE STUDENTS WHO HAVE IEP'S AND NEED EXTRA HELP? THROW THEM UNDER THE BUS? I STRONGLY DISAGREE WITH THIS. THESE STUDENTS ARE JUST AS IMPORTANT AS YOUR SO-CALLED GIFTED STUDENTS.
7. Choice – give students the choice of where they attend and give schools the choice of who they let in. Everything runs more smoothly when everybody is where they want to be. DISAGREE. EVERY STUDENT IS ENTITLED TO THE BEST EDUCATION AVAILABLE AND RATHER THAN SCHOOL CHOICE, DO WHAT HAS TO BE DONE TO BRING ALL SCHOOLS UP TO STANDARD. AND NO PUBLIC SCHOOL SHOULD BE ALLOWED THE CHOICE OF WHO THEY LET IN.
8. Tax credits (not vouchers) up to the state average per student for money spent on private education. Public school is not for everybody. YOU WANT TO SEND YOUR CHILD TO PRIVATE SCHOOL THEN SEARCH FOR SCHOLARSHIPS, BE PREPARED TO PAY, ETC. TAXPAYER MONEY SHOULD NOT BE USED FOR PRIVATE SCHOOLS.
9. Make state board seats elected positions, not just pawns of the governor. I AGREE WITH THIS 150%.
10. Require annual drug tests to enroll in school for grades 7-12. MIXED EMOTIONS ON THIS.

@ Wondering wondering:
2. An SAT requirement of 1500 (the national average) for HOPE KIND OF ASKING FOR ALOT AREN'T YOU? HOW MANY SAT SCORES OF 1500 DO YOU SEE IN GEORGIA SCHOOLS?
Per Collegeboard's SAT Data and Report it appears about 40% of Georgia students scored 500 or above on each of the 3 sections, resulting in a score of 1500 or higher.
7. Choice – give students the choice of where they attend and give schools the choice of who they let in. Everything runs more smoothly when everybody is where they want to be. DISAGREE. EVERY STUDENT IS ENTITLED TO THE BEST EDUCATION AVAILABLE AND RATHER THAN SCHOOL CHOICE, DO WHAT HAS TO BE DONE TO BRING ALL SCHOOLS UP TO STANDARD. AND NO PUBLIC SCHOOL SHOULD BE ALLOWED THE CHOICE OF WHO THEY LET IN.
You said it yourself: Every child is entitled to the best education available. If the best education is available outside of the student's zone but within that same school district, shouldn't that child be entitled to the best education available? Your response "Let's bring every school up to standard" doesn't solve the problem – that's been said over and over by school boards but it never happens. If students are allowed a choice of schools, that provides an incentive for under-performing schools to improve quickly.
8. Tax credits (not vouchers) up to the state average per student for money spent on private education. Public school is not for everybody. YOU WANT TO SEND YOUR CHILD TO PRIVATE SCHOOL THEN SEARCH FOR SCHOLARSHIPS, BE PREPARED TO PAY, ETC. TAXPAYER MONEY SHOULD NOT BE USED FOR PRIVATE SCHOOLS.
Why? If a taxpayer is paying for an education, what difference does it make if that education occurs in a public school or a private school? The net effect is that the child receives an education; more likely than not, increased competition resulting from public schools' desire to maintain funding will benefit students.

Your logic is flawed in #8. Taxpayers deserve accountability for their hard-earned money. Now I agree you're not getting it now in public schools, bur private schools are never going to be accountable to the taxpayers. That's why they're private schools. The "great social experiment" we're required to bow down to in the public schools would never be allowed. And don't forget, there are plenty of private schools that award grades based on criteria other than academic success.(like parent's income, influence, donations, AND athletic talent!).
BTW, I agree wholeheartedly about #6. Paying a professional with 15-20 year's "experience" and an advanced degree $50k and up a year to babysit 3 children with IQs so low that the teacher spends the day changing diapers is a waste of taxpayer's money. The marginal cost of Special Ed (low-level) is unrealistically high. I wouldn't throw them "under the bus," but I sure would change the way the program is handled. Now paying an administrator to make sure a student with a recognized disability (and ADD – ADHD is not a disability) is being handled properly in the classroom is not a waste of money, but I sure would spend a lot more money making sure our top students got every advantage we can give them rather than spending huge sums of money on "students" who will never be able to begin to pay back society for the amount of money spent on them.
And I know I'll get grief about this for "throwing Special Ed students under the bus," but realistically we have to live within our means, and schools can't be everything to everybody… no matter what the Supremes say.

As a former elementary school teacher with nine years of classroom experience, I have to say the "move on when ready" component of this plan is one of the dumbest ideas I have ever heard from a politician. Mr. Deal obviously hasn't spent much time in schools and doesn't have many educators in his inner circle of advisors. I wish politicians would just admit when they don't have a clue about education…
September 7th, 2010

Old physics teacher – sorry, but you deserve to be thrown under the bus for that post. I'll take your comments to heart when you have a child with a severe disabillity; until then, I'm guessing you're just another clueless individual who has no idea what true teaching involves in special education (and yes, it does require a lot more than changing diapers).
As for students never being able to "pay back" society, I'm sure you would be one of those idiot teachers who tells me that spending $2500 on text-reading software and a laptop for a HS student with LD is a waste of taxpayer money. Of course, you would also likely be one of those who assumed that he was stupid because he read on a 3rd grade level as a senior in HS. Thanks to services provided in special education, this student (with an IQ in the superior range of intelligence) was accepted to multiple colleges and is getting A's and B's in all of his classes using this technology (as allowed under ADA law). Not providing services & equipment would have certainly guaranteed that he would not be able to support himself in the future.
Its a moot argument anyway; whether or not you agree, IDEA is the law and isn't going anywhere. I hope that you have retired; you have no business in public education.

Why is everyone so afraid to tell, people in public school that they need to apply on merit, behavior and parent participation to get into better public schools. Why should my children be penalized by the dreggs of society that don't care. Private schools do it all the time and the kids do much better, they have 99% of the students going to college and 100% graduation rates.
It especially gauls me that my children are stuck with the entitlement multi-generation families, that even think that the booster clubs and sports programs should be free and staffed by everyone else. But their precious child, who is never going to make it in the NFL, NBA, or be a Falcon Cheerleader, but maybe make it to the chain gang, should eat team meals for free, have fundraisers done to pay for there camps and uniforms, because they are a minority and underpriveliged. They also get there grades changed in the general classes, which they flunk for sleeping 4 or 5 times first. They try to con my child to print out a copy of her health chart for them, because they don't have a color printer at home. Oops, not in the budget, when you spend on cell phones, hair weaves, nails, etc… My child was smart enough to tell them to go print it out at kinko's, it is only a few cents a page.
I would never vote for a crook like deal either. But I do want vouchers to get my kids out of these nasty public schools.

The motive should be to provided best education among students and increase interest between them no matter grades are high or low.Some programs should be organized so that students can come to know about the real education motive and the burden upon both students and teachers decrease as they now know for what purpose they are learning something.
September 8th, 2010

So when a teacher is sick and tired of a student, they can decide to "pass them on"? Posters above don't agree that testing is required to determine the level of student learning.
I like the comment about Cobb students, where the vast majority go on to college. I also agree that parents should be held accountable; it's their job to educate, and discipline their children and to assist the teachers.
What if those with discipline and learning issues (not the handicapped) are inducted into the armed forces? Now that would encourage attendance, self dicipline and learning! Either learn or…

To let 'em move on when ready will never work. Too many have worked too hard for too long so that the smart ones are held back to the level of the not-so-smart ones. Our schools are in a quagmire just like the rest of our society. Help save America, vote conservative.

What do you do with a student who is extremely high in reading but only average in math? Do they go ahead to a higher level in reading but stay in their grade in math. Isn't that the basic concept for Montessori schools.
September 8th, 2010

Deal went with the really easy stuff …. STEM has been a focus for several years, the Gates Foundation has funded initiatives for STEM in Georgia … so Deal follows the lead. But to try and claim that STEM is the solution to all our problems – Heck, no! We need kids with a solid grounding in English, a foreign language, as well as music and art.
September 8th, 2010
10:29 am
Forget music and arts, those should be on an elective basis. We have too many kids that can't add without a calculator. Focus on the basics Science, History, English, & Math first. After those are established then worry about the arts. Please don't think that I'm saying they aren't essential to a well rounded education, but we have to many kids that are aweful readers (mostly because their parents never cared to read with them) and can't do long division if their life depended on it.

I spoke briefly this morning with the new WGST morning host Michael Smerconish for the first time. The syndicated host out of Philadelphia was riding the high of interviewing Pres. Barack Obama for 30 minutes yesterday.
"It was a huge coup for me," he said. "I was thrilled."
GST just added Smerconish a few weeks ago, replacing local man Randy Cook.
The man sounds philosophically like Neal Boortz. (Smerconish admitted not knowing much about Boortz.) He's pretty liberal (or Libertarian) on social issues. He has nothing against gay marriage or legalization of pot. But he's a hawk on foreign issues including terrorism and is pro death penalty.
Is that enough to give him an edge in the mornings? It's tough given how few people are now listening to GST pre-Glenn Beck and how little marketing GST will likely set aside for Smerconish. And much of the talk-radio audience in the South is socially conservative as well (which is why Boortz seldom talks about social issues.)
And unlike Boortz, Smerconish did go against conservative doctrine last year by endorsing Obama. Given his popularity in Philadelphia, his thoughts likely had some influence in that swing state. And that's probably why he got the interview yesterday with the president.
"They know I'm not going to shout him down and call him a Socialist," Smerconish said. "It's not the type of program I run. It has never been."
Smerconish said to me that he finds Obama very likable, though he knows many of his fans don't agree.
"I'm a person who has decided opinions," he said. "But I'm very hard to categorize. I don't fit into any box. My politics are not talking points. I'm not an ideologue." He is disappointed in the way the Republican party has gone, especially on said social issues.
He said his radio mentor isn't the Rush Limbaughs of the world. Rather, it's the sardonic Larry David, creator of "Seinfeld" and "Curb Your Enthusiasm."
Off camera, he joked with Obama about whether he had read the Book of Secrets in the film "National Treasure 2." "I would tell you, but I'd have to kill you," Obama joked.
He also was happy to have Mike Vick join the Eagles. This gives him another Atlanta-Philly connection to work with. But of course, he has to stick with the Eagles and Phillies over the Falcons and Braves. ("I'm a Phillies season ticket holder').
Hometown connections are hometown connections!
He does plan to visit Atlanta next month.

Being an out of towner here in metro Charlotte we have had Michael S fill in time to time when Bill O,Reilly was on assignment.It was always welcome releif when Bill O returned Then Bill just as Bill decides to do daily talking points so we had a choice of either Michael S or Fred Dalton thompson we chose Fred here at Newsradio WSTP and he plays quite well in the south with his tennesean drawl and knowledge of where all the bodies are buried in DC..Has WGST looked to Eric Mancow Muellar for the morning show or is he already pulling great numbers at another radio station in Atlanta.Our old Big WAYS Charlotte buddy Scott Slade continues to be Atlanta,s most listend to morning voice.Good luck to the guys who replaced John boy and Billy years ago on the Old WBCY FMhere in Charlotte I know that a Randy and Spiff atlanta reunion will be great for Atlanta Radio.By the way John Boy and Billy still play well here at clear channels 99.7 The Fox even though CBS infinity own the market here with four of the top five stations in the ratings and Randall Bloomquist former haunt WBT am&fm the other that stays in the top five.

What a great way to start the day than listening to Smerconish from 6-9am everyday on WGST. His show completes my day of good talk radio. I start with Smerconish, then switch to Boortz until 1PM, then switch to Rush until 3PM, then it's a toss-up between Dave Ramsey and Hannity to finish the day. If I'm out and about even later, I listen to Mark Levin and/or Herman Cain, then late night with The Savage Nation. HOORAY FOR GREAT TALK RADIO IN ATL!!!

Smerconish tries to appeal to conservatives but in reality he is a liberal Obama supporter. He is very clever in leading the audience to his viewpoint while playing both sides of an issue. Obama should consider hiring him now that Smerconish even convinced conservatives in the Philadelphia area to vote Obama rather than that old man McCain leaving doubts to listeners that McCain could even live another four years and then Palin would become president! The fear factor works.

Lee County- Federal Prosecutors say as many as 40 people could be indicted in a three county, three state indoor marijuana growing operation.
So far, five people have been indicted on federal charges for hindering the investigation of the multi-state operation and two are charged with conspiracy to manufacture marijuana.
Lee County Sheriff Harold Breeden says when his investigators busted three Lee County homes last June they never imagined the investigation would lead this far.
It started with 230 marijuana plants in two homes on Brightwater and Fowler Drive and the arrest of realtor Scott Renfroe, Ray Moody, Frank Spring, and his companion Kimberly Etheridge. Now there's word that there could be as many as 40 federal indictments in the case.
"Well probably be indicting probably 30 to 40 people on this," said Lee County Sheriff Harold Breeden.
Wednesday, Charlotte Spencer, Michael Suber's mother, pled not guilty to a federal obstruction charge that she warned her son federal agents were about to search is Panama City home. Lee County's Sheriff Harold Breeden was the last to think this operation would explode into 14 people facing state charges and now seven indicted on federal charges.
"It does shock me. You know, I didn't know it was going to be this big, turn out this big, but I'm glad it did," said Breeden.
Breeden says, a lot of the information that lead them to Terrell County, Panama City and Tallahassee, Florida and North Carolina came from the drug dealers themselves and the arrests wouldn't have been possible without some help.
"Without the DEA assisting us on this, we couldn't have done it because the DEA can go anywhere, where we can't you know and they've bee a big help to us," said Breeden.
Working with the Albany Dougherty Drug Unit, Terrell County Sheriff's Office, and the GBI a total of 21 arrests were made and there's more to come.
"It's still an ongoing investigation in that we are looking at some more at this time, even though the indictments are starting to come down we're still checking out a couple leads on it still," said Breeden.
Sheriff Breeden says they're also watching those who have already been charged and released on bond to make sure this growing operation doesn't try to grow again.
In the last 19 years Sheriff Harold Breeden says his investigators have broken up more than two-thousand drug operations.
