Ship Weight:0.45 Servings:7 Dosage:1 Tablespoon(s) Flora Swedish Bitters Alcohol-free - 3.4 oz Flora Swedish Bitters is an alcohol-free, aqueous extract dietary supplement. Flora's Swedish Bitters is Maria's Original Formula. Maria's Formula of Swedish Bitters represents the essence of skill, knowledge and experience in producing the finest herbal bitters available. Flora has carefully selected and tested the herbs to achieve the highest quality and potency. Take before meals to stimulate the stomach to improve digestion, or after meals to relieve feelings of fullness or gas.Our internal organs, and hence our whole system, suffer if we don't have the bitter taste element in our diet. A lack of it results in symptoms like poor digestion, fatigue, and irregularity, which can make us feel out of sorts, low in energy and sometimes just downright awful. Traditionally used to help digestion, Swedish Bitters can promote regularity, maintain and improve health, and keep energy levels up.Something is Missing:Did you know that we have lost our understanding of just how important the bitter taste is to our bodies? Our ancestors understood about bitter taste. By including bitter foods (mostly roots) in their diet, they maintained the balanced functioning of the digestive organs. Poor digestion, so common now, was foreign to them. Bitter foods are foreign to us. Those that do remain in our diet, such as artichokes, watercress and endive lettuce, are specialty rather than staple foods.The Rich Taste of BittersIs there a way to get rich-tasting bitter flavor into our diet? Yes, through Swedish Bitters, a very special herbal elixir. The truth of Swedish Bitters lies in its rich, bitter taste and in its traditionally proven effectiveness.What is the Benefit of Bitters?We have 4 different types of taste buds on the surface of our tongues, to discern what is wholesome and what is not good for us. These papillae allow us to taste sour, sweet, salty, and bitter.In our diet today, there exists almost no bitter taste, no bitter substances at all. In general, we have overloaded the sweet side and eliminated bitter foods from our diet. It is fairly obvious that a lack of bitter taste has had a dramatic effect on our metabolic system especially after a few generations.What is the Role of Bitters and the Liver?A bitter taste has a profound effect on your digestive system, especially the liver, the keeper of metabolic balance within the body. The liver's job is to produce fluids required for proper and complete digestion, as well as to rid your system of dangerous toxins. Even if you eat a good natural diet, artificial ingredients and chemical residues can find their way into your system. It's so important to cleanse your body of these unwanted substances as soon as possible. Our liver has several tremendous jobs to do and it needs the stimulation of bitter herbs in order to do its job properly. It stores usable glycogen, copper and iron to feed the cells It metabolizes proteins, carbohydrates, and fats It removes poisonous substances from the blood safely It is the metabolic laboratory of the body. It produces gall which is indispensable for the fractioning and digestion of fatty substances in our intestines as it is the most bitter liquid in our body. Benefits: Helps those who suffer from chronic metabolic problems and digestive difficulties which lend themselves to increased tension and stress. Useful for people with problems of circulation, lack of physical and mental energy. Beneficial for people who easily get colds and infections. Indicated for people with allergies. Helpful for people who are fatigued and tire easily. Eases constipation and regulates bowel movements. Important for those who have had their gallbladder removed. Reduces bloating and gas. Qualities: Laxative properties - Aloe, Rhubarb root, and Senna pods Stimulates gallbladder function - Aloe Counteracts digestive tract inflammation - Rhubarb root Stimulates appetite and flow of digestive juices - Angelica, Pomeranz peel, Zedvoary root, Myrrh, Anise Relieves flatulence and bloatedness - Fennel Soothes & prevents cramps, mild diuretic - Angelica root Promotes mucous secretions – Licorice In an easy-to –take liquid form About Flora At Flora, they have been manufacturing and supplying premium herbal products since 1965, but their roots stretch back to Germany in the early 1900s, where Dr. Otto Greither, grandfather of the current owner Thomas Greither, dedicated his life to the discovery, production and distribution of natural health care products. Flora has preserved his original dedication to perfect and make available herbal remedies that ensure maximum purity, quality and potency with a holistic approach to health. Flora Mission In God We TrustThe mission of Flora is to participate in the continuing evolution of the people on Earth toward universal harmony, peace and perfection by providing products and services for the purification and upliftment of the body and spirit, and by providing to each person who derives a livelihood with Flora, an opportunity for personal growth and advancement of these goals in life. History In 1965, Flora began its North American operations in Burnaby, British Columbia, and is currently owned by natural health visionary Thomas Greither. Originally, Thomas ran a natural foods store in Burlington, Vermont, and it was his dream to produce and provide consumers with the finest health products available. In its early stages, Flora served primarily as a centre for distributing and marketing European herbal remedies. At that time, alternative health products were virtually unknown in Canada. As interest grew, Flora began manufacturing natural bulk laxatives and its own line of herbal therapeutic teas. These teas were the first of their kind to be prepared in Canada and their popularity soon blossomed. In 1986, Flora resumed its role as a pioneer when it produced the first truly cold-pressed, unrefined oils for medicinal use or food preparation. A unique manufacturing method eliminates any light or oxygen and allows the enzymes in the seed matter to be processed at body temperature and the essential fatty acids to remain active. In 1988, Flora expanded into the U.S., opening a manufacturing facility in Lynden, Washington. The company also acquired several acres of farmland in order to grow its own organic herbs. All stages of production are done in-house in Burnaby and Lynden, from selecting and lab testing all raw materials to herb extraction, encapsulation and final packaging. In June of 1992, in cooperation with Elaine Alexander, the company began preparing and distributing the remarkable herbal formula known as Flor•Essence™. Its popular effect in exerting a positive influence on a host of chronic conditions has rapidly spread throughout the health community and is revered by people everywhere for its life-rejuvenating benefits. Flora also launched a foundational line of health products under the Udo's Choice™ label including the first age-specific probiotics and vegetarian DHA. Today, Flora continues its innovation in product development and environmentally friendly manufacturing practices. Premium Quality Flora has evolved into one of North America's premier natural health products companies. The U.S. and Canadian production plants include sophisticated semi-automatic and fully automatic equipment for processing quality herbal teas and liquid tonics, encapsulating herbal extracts and cold-pressing certified organic seeds into health-benefitting oils. Flora's ongoing research and development has resulted in a number of production methods which are the finest in the world. All of Flora's products are manufactured in accordance with GMP standards and the facilities and manufacturing procedures are in compliance with all regulatory agencies in Canada and the United States, including Health Canada and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). In addition, Flora is a certified organic producer and processor overseen by the third-party certifying agency, Quality Assurance International, (QAI). This means that the organic herbal remedies prepared and distributed by Flora are guaranteed top quality and chemical free, right from the seed that is planted to the harvest and from the post-harvest facilities to the final production and packing. Thomas Greither is dedicated to preserving the environment and in utilizing production and packaging practices that are ecologically sound, including vegetarian capsules for all the dry herbal extracts and environmentally friendly amber glass bottles for the herbal tonics and organic oils. Flora has been honoured with numerous awards and continually strives to remain a leader in the field of natural health by remaining committed to its mandate of offering only supreme quality formulas. Flora Farms Flora grows most of its own herbs on farms in Washington and Chile and purchases the rest through fair trade practices from organic farmers. "We are one of the very few companies who actually grow our own herbs," says Thomas Greither. "If we buy from another farm, we know what seed they used, and we always receive the herbs in the whole form. You can tell if it was dried properly and handled properly. Most companies buy them powdered. We have a whole grinding department. Each herb needs a different cutting mechanism, and we cut them just before manufacturing. With essential herbs, if I grind them a half a year before manufacturing, that would not be as effective. Sometimes the industry gets a bad name because of the use of these dried herbs. Essential oils oxidize out of the product. For example, in our teas, we have a special vapour moisture barrier so the essential oils from the product can't evaporate; it preserves freshness." The certified organic farm in Chile lies on 1500 acres of land that has never been intensively farmed, and was thoroughly tested before cultivation began to ensure it was free of pollutants such as chemical fertilizers. The farm is set in a pristine paradise cut off by the deserts in the north, the waters of the Antarctic in the south, the Andes (with a height of 5,500 metres) in the east and the Pacific Ocean in the west. This natural enclosing wall protects from plant diseases and insects, and there are no city exhaust fumes or sources of industrial pollution for many kilometres. Today, approximately 100 different raw materials are supplied here, from more than 80 plant species. Once harvested, the plants are dried using the world's most advanced eco-friendly solar dryers.

No sooner had Microsoft announced a deal to acquire the handset and services business of Nokia for about $7.2 billion than industry pundits, fresh from the Labor Day holiday weekend, put away their BBQ tools and sharpened their knives, roundly panning and second-guessing Redmond's motives.
Many scratched their heads and wondered "What does this deal actually do?" since Nokia, as the only real supporter of Windows Phone, essentially is the Windows Phone company. How, asks Stratechery, does the acquisition improve upon the partnership Microsoft and Nokia put in place just two years ago? "From Microsoft's perspective, that was a brilliant deal; [Apple Outsider's] Matt Drance characterized it as 'Microsoft Buys Nokia for $0B,' and he wasn't far off. ...There is nothing further to be gained by an acquisition."
Misery loves company
Over at PC World, Mark Hachman cites Ben Franklin's "we must all hang together or, most assuredly, we shall hang separately" sentiment as a possible impetus behind the deal, but concludes that "Microsoft and Nokia may have simply thrown a rope to one another, cried 'Save me!' and jumped off a cliff in unison ... [because] the Franklin philosophy is predicated on the notion that both sides end up winning -- and there's little guarantee that will be the case."
InfoWorld's Galen Gruman less charitably notes that some have suggested "the Microsoft-Nokia pairing was an attempt to tie together two drunks in hopes they would walk straight. If so, one drunk would fall down and be cut loose as the other started feeling more sober."
Hail Mary pass
The general feeling is that Microsoft had to do something to gain traction in the mobile market. "[Ballmer] sees Google and Apple pushing Microsoft aside as the PC market continues to decline and the Nokia purchase is a Hail Mary bet to take them on playing their own game," Gruman says -- but he holds out little hope for a pass completion, much less a touchdown:
It may be Microsoft's only option, but being Apple requires a focus on quality, user experience, and platform centrism that Microsoft hasn't demonstrated. Its refusal to listen to complaints about Windows 8 and now Windows 8.1 show it may be incapable of truly listening.

I find good VPS from USA, help me?
There are many VPS providers with US based servers. You need to first look whether you want linux based or windows based. Then regular or cloud based. Then managed or unmanaged. The uptime you need. Web space. Cpanel or Plesk or some other panel for management. Whether you need it for individual site or say you want to run a reseller account on it.
Hence there are many types of servers available with different configurations / bandwidth / options so without basic details on your requirement suggesting a server might not be a good idea.
I'm currently using DigitalOcean. Really easy to setup and get going for like $5 per month.
Sorry to jump in here but I am looking to change soon. Patche does DigitalOcean provide a cpanel of some type?How is their service?Thanks
I wouldn't use them for anything mission critical, I see a fair bit of chat about them on hosting forums that indicates they are a fashionable server company of the moment for script kids, coin miners and minecrafters, which likely results in high churn and probably explains why they're getting ddos'ed a lot:http://www.digitaloceanstatus.com/
Wow, now that's a review worth thinking about. They do have good marketing and that's what caught the eye.Thanks
They also tick a few boxes which for me act as warning signs and eliminate any host from contention when looking for a reliable production server:
a) newish company - I prefer not to share in growing pains, learning experiences, or potential instabilities typically experienced by a host in it's first few years.
b) cheapest in sector - attracts the wrong kind of users that can create a bad network neighborhood and overloads support resources, also means corners are being cut somewhere.
c) growly rapidly /heavily marketed /hyped - often means money is being spent on ads rather than core infrastructure and quality staff, can lead to mediatemple type fiascos and system implosions.
Having said that, I'd still consider them for a dev box that doesn't need to be reliable, they're undoubtedly very cheap for the spec.
As others recommended, DigitalOcean is really good, also Poweruphosting I have had good results with.
It looks like epilifalerav has left the building.
However, if anyone else is looking, I've had three different types of accounts at WebHostingBuzz and must rave about the excellent of the services they provide (at a very reasonable cost). Check them out - you won't be disappointed.

text: So, it starts out with a guy dropped from a vertibird, fighting a super mutant as he falls, with a fat-man and a tesla cannon. He hits his head when he falls so he has amnesia. As he explores new york he has to fight a pack of intelligent super mutants(based at statue of liberty which they call the statue of steel) who have joined the brotherhood of steel, so they have power armor. its all just a big misunderstanding tho, the mutants are just fighting to save a faction of intelligent fire ants(who live in the empire state building) that are dying cuz the only water they have to drink is irradiated. So the guy has to find his past as well as a geck to help the mutants and the ants. Plus he lives in a vault with a pet deathclaw.

Search for missing mushroom hunter
53-year-old Boris Bondarchuk went mushroom hunting on Monday near S. Family Camp Road near Molalla.
When he didn't return, the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office launched a search. The rugged area comprised of dense wooded cover, steep mountain terrain and rivers which has made it difficult for continuing search and rescue efforts.
Several groups are helping with the search including the Multnomah County Sheriff's Office Search and Rescue Team, Mountain Wave Communications, Pacific NW Search and Rescue, North Oregon Regional Search and Rescue, and the Marion County Sheriff's Office Search and Rescue.
Bondarchuk is described as a white male, about 6 feet tall, 190 pounds, last seen wearing black pants, a black jacket with white stripes on the sleeves and black boots.

Mom Now Faces Scrutiny in Hot Car Death
(NEWSER) – Leanna Harris—unlike her husband—has not been charged in the death of her 22-month-old son in a hot car but investigators are puzzled by some of her behavior. Police say she had done online research on children dying in hot cars and on the day her son, Cooper, died, she calmly said, "Ross must have left him in the car. There's no other explanation," after being told he had never arrived at day care, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution finds. When she was briefly reunited with her husband at the police station, police say she asked him "Did you say too much?" Some of her remarks at her son's funeral also raised eyebrows. As her husband listened in from jail, she said she wouldn't bring Cooper back even if she could. "He's in the most peaceful, wonderful place there is," she said.

Star Cooking: Scary-Good DIY Meatloafby in Food Network Star, Recipes, June 24, 2010
Aarti, we hope your confidence is rising, because you're on a roll! Last week, Liz cooked Aarti's Tandoori Chicken on Scallion Blini, and now we're back with another Aarti winner from Episode 3.
Turk-Eye Meatloaf is an unfortunate and not-exactly-appetizing name for a recipe, but the flavor of Aarti's dish proved otherwise. She drew Horror as her inspiration for the movie-themed camera challenge, and the judges ate up her cute "wandering eye" story that tied this dish to the genre.
Since I wasn't stuck with any scary movie challenge while making Aarti's meatloaves at home, I left off the (intentionally) creepy "eye" garnish. Without it, these individual meatloaves make a healthy and simple weeknight meal. Keep the garnish and it would certainly be a fun dish for Halloween.

Ford has grown the fifth generation Mustang into a very impressive halo vehicle. And while all those improvements are great for true performance enthusiasts, it also means a surge in popularity and a lot of 'me too' buyers.

With only 11, 507 miles on its digital odometer, this essentially new 2010 Roush Mustang 427R is a loud and proud beast that's perfect for anyone who wants to stand out in a sea of factory pony cars and wannabe tuner cars.

Wearing vivid Grabber Blue paint under a spectacular white stripe package, 2010 Roush 427R number 334 has been in the care of one meticulous owner since new and presents excellent in every way. Its showroom fresh body is 100% straight with no history of accidents or damage of any kind. And a close look down the fuselage reveals not so much as a dent or ding anywhere. Roush's high quality paint and bodywork blend invisibly with the cars tight and glossy factory panels; and overall, this Mustang conveys a premium sense of collectability that, when combined with its excellent performance, creates one timeless and incredibly desirable modern muscle car.
Up front, a traditional Mustang grille holds a blacked out emblem between two crystal clear driving lights and two factory headlights. Below that grille, a custom Roush front valence hangs custom Roush lower valence lamps and functional cooling ducts above an aggressive and functional chin spoiler. At the top of the car, a factory Mustang GT hood wears an integrated Roush 427R center stripe between clean, "ROUSHCHARGED" decals while a chip-free factory windshield hangs a white "Roush" banner in front of tinted side glass and retro fiberglass quarter window covers. At the sides of the car, traditional Roush Performance emblems sit inside of swept "427R" decals which line up on the cars cowl and narrow as they run rearward above custom side splitters. And a three-piece trunk mounted racing spoiler is sandwiched between a small satellite radio antenna and two pristine factory tail lights. Between those tail lights, a custom Roush "427R" faux fuel filler emblem is centered beside a third pristine Roush Performance emblem. And below those tail lights, a one piece injection-molded rear bumper houses large stainless tips which are connected to a custom Roush Performance exhaust system.
Created as a turnkey package for enthusiasts who want a reliably engineered Mustang which unlocks the full performance potential of Fords 4.6 liter V8, the 427R utilizes an intercooled supercharger to crank out 435 horsepower and 400 lb./ft. of torque. Roush's patented ROUSHcharger is an Eaton style blower that sits atop the engine and exhales through a relocated and redesigned single core cross-flow intercooler which helps manage on-track temperatures. In front of the blower, a newly redesigned Roush air induction system provides a cleaner appearance and better efficiency; and below the blower, a familiar custom Roush Performance intake manifold complements Roush-exclusive molded hoses. Despite Fords 4.6 liter being a very strong engine as is, both a beefier cooling system and a recalibrated ECM were installed to better deal with the rigors of racing. On the radiator support you'll find a Roush Performance badge that lists the cars power output and verifies that this 427R is the 334th car to be built for the 2010 model year. And on the passenger's side inner fender you'll find a satin metal plate with the signature of the guy who assembled the engine. This 427Rs engine bay features Roush Performance's typical OEM style expertise, which was amped up even more for the 2010 model, and displays hardly any signs of usage at all. When the engine is fired up, the custom air intake combines with the awesome ROUSHcharger to provide a sinister whine at idle and an incredible roar from trackside.
The D2C platform is a very capable foundation which, with the added power from Roush Performance, makes this track ready Mustang a true force to be reckoned with. Behind the engine, a factory 5-speed manual transmission drives a rugged Ford 8.8-inch rear end which houses road course appropriate 3.55 gears. That stout drivetrain combines with a Roush tuned front strut and three link rear suspension to give the car long legs at the big end and good power out of the corners. Braking is handled by factory equipped front and rear discs that are aided by both Fords standard anti-lock system and recalibrated AdvanceTrac traction control; and the cars killer engine note is provided by a custom stainless steel Roush Performance catback exhaust system which is a 'no brainer' dealer installed option. At the corners, fantastic looking cast chrome Roush Performance 20 inch wheels spin super sticky 275/35 Dunlop SP Sport Maxx radials around cool red, white and blue Mustang valve stem caps. The bottom of this wicked 427R is super clean, shows no signs of abuse, and appears to have spent 80% of its life tucked away in a safe and dry garage, and 20% of its life serving as a pampered weekend cruiser.
Inside the excellent looking cockpit of this super cool Mustang, Roush Performance implemented subtle but tasteful upgrades which are immediately noticeable from both an appearance and performance standpoint. In front of the driver, custom Roush Performance gauges which feature silver readouts and bold "Roush" scripts. Beside the driver, a Roush branded short throw shifter features a white cue ball style Roush shift knob, and blends perfectly into the "Roush" branded center console. Under the driver, firm factory buckets, which are attractive black units with light stitching, were good enough to be left unaltered. And at the floor, red lit Roush Performance pedals hang over like-new black carpet which is protected by spotless "Roush" branded floor mats and bordered by satin finished and red lit Roush Performance sill plates. Behind the cockpit, the cars pristine trunk features a new "Ford Motorsports" mat and looks as good as the day the car was assembled. And naturally, all of the typical amenities that you would expect in a new Mustang are present and accounted for including Ford's SYNC system, climate control, a powerful Shaker audio system, cruise control, power accessories and red ambient lighting.

friend's miscarriage question
I have a dear friend who had a miscarriage four weeks before taking a preg test. Using a digital test it indicated she was 3+ weeks pregnant. She has had some spotting, old brown blood, over the two weeks since doing the test and is concerned about another miscarriage. Is it possible her body is still carrying chemicals that the test is reading and indicating a pregnancy? Could she not be pregnant but is is the chemicals in her system from the last pregnancy which give are giving a positive result? What do you think?

Dear carer,
I'm so sorry to hear of your friend's miscarriage. It is so hard when anyone loses a baby. My thoughts are with your friend. I wonder if she might find this article helpful on remembering a lost baby.
Please can I ask if you know how many weeks pregnant she was when she had the miscarriage?
A urine pregnancy test measures the amount of the hormone hCG present (this is the pregnancy hormone). However, after a miscarriage it typically takes 2-3 weeks or, in some cases, a month for the pregnancy hormone to disappear from the urine so a test may still (falsely) show as positive during this time.
Another reason a test could falsely show as positive after a miscarriage is if a woman did not have a 'complete miscarriage' and there is still pregnancy tissue in the womb. If this was the case, this would need to be removed during a short operation called a D&C.
I would advise your friend to see her doctor as it is important to ascertain what is going on here. Her doctor can do a pregnancy blood test to check what is going on.
Again, I wanted to say that I'm so sorry for your friend's loss.
Best wishes,

Hi Carer
I am so sorry to hear of your friend's loss. I actually wrote the article LJ has directed you to and well know the pain and disappointment of loss. As LJ suggests it sounds very much like your friend needs to see a doctor. It is important to establish that her miscarriage is complete both for her physical health and her emotional wellbeing.
If the miscarriage is in fact complete it can also take time for the body's hormonal balance to return to it's non-pregnant state, as LJ suggests. This is the reason why many doctors advise waiting until your cycle returns to normal before attempting to conceive again. This gives your body a better chance of success next time.
In supporting your friend you might find it useful to read this article: Understanding Miscarriage. It explains miscarriage, its management and coping during and after.
I hope that your friend has the love and support needed to face this difficult time and I commend you for seeking help and advice to support her. She is very lucky to have you!
Take care

By Theresa Goffredo Herald Writer
A burlesque show and a sweet shop. The two things could not be more opposite.
Shana Deon likes the opposite-ness of them and their juxtaposition in her life. She runs them both.
Deon is the owner of LooBelles, a frozen yogurt, treat and gift shop on Wetmore Avenue in downtown Everett.
She is also the host and producer of a new burlesque variety show that opens Sunday at the Austin Bar &Grill in Everett.
Her show, "Spring Fling Carnivale," ran in Kirkland for 14 months. That show has been on hiatus and Deon has wanted to bring it to Everett.
The show boasts it will bring "the sexy back to Everett" with a variety of performers such as headliner Seraphina Fiero; belly dancer Ava Raqs, who shimmies and shakes with a sword balanced on her head; Randi Rascal and Sailor St. Claire, who present an act with a court jester; a tattooed lady; and something secretive but very pink with feathers.
The show also has a songbird and Ms. E.M. Temptress, the show's "Kitten."
Deon hosts the show as the Siren. She said she wants to put some fun in Everett's downtown but also have fun in her own life.
It wasn't always so fun for Deon. When her son was 5, he became ill and needed a bone marrow transplant, but he did not survive. She then went through a divorce after 20 years of marriage. She began working as a medical assistant to raise her teenage daughter on her own.
But Deon's first love was crafting and she has a degree in interior design. She had previously owned a successful shop in Utah but had to sell it when her son became ill. Deon has since dreamed of having her own business again.
She opened LooBelles — the nickname of her daughter — at 2827 Wetmore Ave. to quench her own creativity but also to provide a safe job where her daughter could work side by side with her, learning all that she could.
Deon said that after building her G-rated sweet shop she thought she would throw in an R-rated show to see how the mix went.
Deon likes the idea of the double identity.
"By day she serves the innocence of downtown Everett her frozen creamy treats and by night? Well, she is a different gal," Deon jokes.
Deon calls it her "yogurt/glitter boob empire."
Deon said it's about fun now for her and her daughter. Though they struggle to keep the doors open at LooBelles, they are working together, whether boom or bust.
"You know when you get to that point in life where you just start doing what you want to do and throw caution to the wind across the board?" Deon asked. "I am at it."
The Spring Fling Carnivale is 8 p.m. Sunday at The Austin Bar &Grill, 2820 B Oakes Ave., Everett. Tickets are $10 or $12 at the door. Go to www.sirenandthetreasuredchests.com. For more on Deon's sweet shop to go www.LooBelles.com.

The Jim and Helen Lee Fugitte Science Center, left, and the Dr.
Robert and Carol Goodin
Nursing & Counseling Center, right, are two of the major
academic buildings
LWC has opened in the last five years.
COLUMBIA, Ky. -- Lindsey Wilson College has
enrolled a record 2,600 students for the 2011-12 school year,
college officials announced today.
The college's record enrollment for 2011-12 is part of a steady
five-year enrollment growth at the 108-year-old liberal arts
college. Since the 2006-07 school year, LWC's enrollment has grown
from 1,792 students to its current level of 2,600 students -- a 31
percent increase.
"This is such wonderful news for our college community and our
region," said Lindsey Wilson President William T. Luckey Jr., who has been the
college's eighth president since July 1, 1998. "This growth is an
affirmation of the Lindsey Wilson mission. More students and their
family members have discovered Lindsey Wilson, and they like what
they have found."
Lindsey Wilson's enrollment increase has been fueled by a
dramatic expansion in the college's academic programs,
co-curricular opportunities and extracurricular programs.
This school year, the college opened its latest academic
building -- the two-story Dr. Robert and Carol Goodin Nursing &
Counseling Center. The college's undergraduate majors have grown to
26, including its first baccalaureate programs in science --
nursing and psychophysiology. Lindsey Wilson has also expanded its
number of full-time faculty to a record level. Since the 2007-08
school year, LWC's faculty has expanded by 37 full-time members to
its current level of 113, the most in college history.
"We have made a significant investment in expanding our academic
programs, classroom buildings and faculty because they are at the
heart of a great liberal arts college," Luckey said.
LWC has also expanded undergraduate research opportunities for
students, it has increased its investment in service-learning
initiatives by more than $500,000, and it has added several
intercollegiate sports programs.
Lindsey Wilson has also kept a college education affordable for
working-class families. During the 2010-11 school year -- the last
school year in which total figures are available -- LWC students
received more than $49 million in financial aid, $14.9 million of
which came from the college. This year, LWC expects to award more
than $15 million institutional aid.
"Even during these challenging economic times for our nation,
Lindsey Wilson remains committed to helping every deserving student
earn a college education," said LWC Vice President for Student
Services and Enrollment Management Dean Adams. "Few things are more valuable or
important in a person's life than to earn a college education, and
Lindsey Wilson will continue to help people realize that goal."

We've had such a great response to this sale, and really want more of our customers to enjoy these magnificent oils Each will be 20% off for one more week!
• Rose Otto, Bulgarian Organic
• Sandalwood, East Indian
• Neroli, French
• Jasmine, Indian, Sambac & Grandiflorum
• Rose Absolutes, Bulgarian and Moroccan
Organic Bulgarian Rose Otto: One of the most highly-revered essential oils, both aromatically and therapeutically. Rose is said to have the highest vibrational frequency of any essential oil. It is considered the premier 'heart-opening' aromatic, is excellent in tiny amounts in skin-care, and may be the most important oil of all for women. It's aroma is really out of this world, is very 'tenacious', and just a drop will linger, wonderfully, for hours.
Indian Sandalwood: Of any sandalwood essential oil, it is the wildgrown from India which has by far the highest levels of 'santalols' (around 90%) of any variety. It is the santalols which give sandalwoood its characteristic aroma, and which have been research for their deep relaxing (yet not sedating) effects. A very, very fine oil, which only gets finer with age.
French Neroli: When you need a beautiful, soft, sweet, calming oil, Neroli is the choice. Distilled solely from the flowers of the same tree which produces Bergamot, Neroli is thought of as the most gently calming aromatic. Neroli is considered one of the most important aromatics for treatment for anxiety, and depression resulting from stress and anxiety.
Jasmine Grandiflorum Absolute and Organic Extract: Jasmine has been nicknamed 'Queen of the Night' and 'Moonlight of the Grove'. For centuries, women have treasured it for its seductive, beautiful fragrance. Jasmine oil is uplifting and stimulating for times of hopelessness and nervous exhaustion. It helps reduce anxiety and apathy, and can increase excitability when worn as a perfume. We have both a 'conventional' absolute and a purely-organically-extracted absolute. Also on-sale is our very-well-loved Jasmine Sambac absolute. The sambac is more sweetly floral, while the grandiflorum is the deeper, more complex aromatic.
Bulgarian and Moroccan Rose Absolutes: To round-out this beautiful set of aromas on sale is our Bulgarian and Moroccan Rose Absolutes. Quite different than the steam distilled Rose Otto, these are more potent in the middle notes than high, and absolute perfection either worn by themselves, or in blends as natural perfumes. Both are true aromatic treats ~ we've searched years to find you the very best of each and every of our oil varieties…we hope you enjoy them!
All these oils are marked down 20% for the week of Jan. 10th through the 31st – the sale prices are already reflected on their respective pages. No code is needed. Thank you!

text: I tried to open "John" the Ripper from "K" menu\Backtrack\Priviledge Escalation\PasswordAttacks\PasswordOfflineAttacks\ John, and for a split second the Shell Konsole box opens up but then it closes. When I try to do the commands from just a plain shell konsole it still doesn't work properly because it isn't the John the Ripper program. I have tried both the Backtrack 3 ISO image and the VMWare image and both of them do the same thing. I have tried it on my Backtrack 2 VMWare image and it works like it is suppose to and gives me the passwords, so it must be a bug within Bactrack 3.

Best Of :: Sports & Recreation
Animals are great—until you're confronted with the prospect of feeding one. Disgruntled, dirty and ravenous, petting-zoo animals are some of the most pitiable creatures at any zoo (and that includes the guy who mucks out the elephant pen). Though the urge to play with something fluffy may intensify with all that bud in your system, the petting zoo isn't exactly primo stoner real estate: There are kids, parents and poop everywhere. Plus, after that goat's suffered about an hour of having some snot-nosed brat wave a food pellet just out of his reach—like that time someone put your Cap'n Crunch in the top cabinet—your pants may start to look like a viable food alternative.
It should've been a bad year for the Ducks. Newly minted captain Ryan Getzlaf took a puck to the face in a game against Phoenix in December, causing him to spend weeks on the injured reserve list and the team to lose its already-shaky focus. Perry, the Ducks' right wing, stepped up and brought the team to fourth seed in the West, allowing it to advance to the playoffs. Perry's no-holds-barred style around the opponent's net—he's one of the last power forwards and has a mean forecheck—paid off, even though he frequently had to be scraped off the ice by his teammates. All told, he scored 48 assists and a league-high 50 goals during the regular season, most during the last 20 games of the season, with an additional two goals and six assists during the playoffs. Not surprisingly, Perry got the Hart Trophy as the NHL's Most Valuable Player for the 2010-11 season; now that we know what he can do, the heat will be on for the upcoming season.
Yep, we're going with the Weave again, but this year, we're laying off the stats (which clearly indicate he's not only the Angels' best player, but also one of the best pitchers in baseball). This time, he wins for being old-school. We'll answer the back-and-forth about Weaver's response to two Tigers batters showing him up after their July 31 home runs with a quote, but not one about Weaver. "Barry Bonds?" ex-umpire Doug Harvey once said. "I'll tell you what: If he hit a home run off [Bob] Gibson or [Don] Drysdale and stood and admired it, they'd knock that earring out of his ear the next time up." But seriously, Jered, get a haircut.
If sports are really half-mental, the amount of emotional baggage in the mind of Lynn Walker would have crippled most collegiate athletes, leaving them on the floor, hugging their knees to their chest and bawling their eyes out. She lost both her father and her mother in traumatic fashion, and last year, she found out that what she thought was a lingering injury in her calf was actually a cancerous tumor. It seemed life had nothing but unfortunate circumstances to present to the now-50-year-old woman. Walker was once a promising junior tennis player in an area of Florida that churned out talent. (She once hit with John McEnroe, before anyone outside Florida knew his name; in true McEnroe fashion, he called her a cunt, and she left the court in tears.) During her senior year of high school, Walker was set to attend an out-of-state university on a scholarship when her father passed away in the arms of her mother; a femoral artery ruptured, and he bled out onto the family's white rug. Unwilling to leave her mother's side during such a tough time, Walker dropped out of high school and took a job with a high-end fashion company, rising quickly through its ranks. Six years after her mother passed away, Walker, then 47, decided it was time to get a college degree (she had already gotten her GED). She attended Santiago Canyon College before settling at Costa Mesa's Vanguard University and surprised even herself by landing a spot on the women's tennis team—after more than 20 years of not picking up a racket. In her final season of competition—when opponents still occasionally questioned whether a coach was on the opposite end of the court—she helped the team make it to the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics Women's Tennis National Championships tournament, competing in both singles and doubles. In May, Walker attended the graduation for the college degree she had long coveted. Next up for Walker: planning her wedding.
Skating, scars and skimpy clothing—we can't think of anything better to watch on a Saturday night. Since 2006, the OC Roller Girls have been bringing fierce fun to the county, always ready to suit up in knee pads and booty shorts and, their words, "knock a bitch out." For the gutsy gals, who have monikers such as Chick Norris and Ivanna Cocktail, the derby is more than a sexy exhibition on wheels; it's a movement. The organization is dedicated to helping community nonprofits, fostering teamwork and showing that women can, indeed, kick ass.
In the looming, elephantine shadow of NCAA Division I colossus Cal State Fullerton—and the somewhat-more-elongated, bushy-tailed shadow of the emerging UC Irvine program—Tom Tereschuk has quietly built his non-scholarship baseball squad into a pint-sized powerhouse. A former star pitcher and quarterback at Lakewood High and Long Beach City College, Tereschuk went on to pitch at University of San Diego. After building a stellar reputation as a high-school coach at Servite and Villa Park (he was honored as California Interscholastic Federation Southern Section Coach of the Year in 2000 and 2002), he debuted as Chapman University's coach in 2003 and promptly led his team to a national championship that same year (its first in 35 years). In 2011, his squad made it all the way to the final game before succumbing to Ohio's dreaded Marietta College. (Fucking Pioneers.) During that campaign, Tereschuk topped the 300-win plateau. That's exactly the kind of performance that got him named this year's American Baseball Coaches Association's NCAA Division III West Region Coach of the Year—to go along with the six other times he's earned that title. He has a reputation for toughness, but he also knows when to be supportive. "I remember as a freshman, during regionals, I struck out, and I was afraid that [Tereschuk] was going to be upset," infielder Tyler Hadzinsky told The Panther newspaper this year. "Instead, he gave me the confidence to keep going and was very encouraging. . . . I ended up hitting a home run that game." Good job, coach. And get those Pioneers next year.

State to pick up bill for damage to athletic fields in Guilderland
Just send us the bill.
That from the state's Civil Service Commissioner, Jerry Boone following a meeting with Guilderland school superintendent Marie Wiles.
Wiles says Boone has agreed to take responsibility for an incident this past weekend in which an unexpectedly large crowd of test takers at Farnsworth Middle School parked their cars on 4 acres of adjacent athletic fields, turning them into a muddy quagmire. Wiles says repair work will start as soon as possible.
Wiles says accommodations are being made for the school's modified lacrosse and soccer teams as repairs will take months.

By J.P. HoornstraStaff Writer
GLENDALE, Ariz. - Hanley Ramirez hasn't played in an exhibition game since spring training started.
That means no chances, no errors, no putouts, no assists - no sample size to speak of when you begin to evaluate the state of his defense.
The mere fact that Ramirez "looks good" so far in infield drills, by all accounts, qualifies as news. The Dodgers are nursing a fragile situation with Dee Gordon and Ramirez vying for the same position.
Ramirez's historically shaky defense stands in the way of stability on the left side of the infield.
While some were concerned that Ramirez needed more practice at shortstop in the offseason - he played two games between the Winter League and the Caribbean Series - Ramirez was not.
"For me, it's not really important to play shortstop in the game," he said Friday. "I still do my work. Even if I wasn't playing in the games I still work before the game ... (so) I don't lose my range."
The Ultimate Zone Rating is a defensive statistic that accounts for a player's range, arm and errors committed. Zero is regarded as average. Ramirez's UZR has been below zero in six of his seven major-league seasons.
Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said Monday that he pays attention to UZR, among other advanced statistics, and both he and Ramirez are hoping for more this season.
"It wasn't very good," Ramirez said of his defense after switching from third base to shortstop Aug. 1. "I know I can do better than that."
Ramirez believes a full spring training working out at short will serve him better than last year's midseason switch.
No matter what, the Dodgers are faced with two scenarios. If Ramirez succeeds at shortstop - a judgment that figures to be made soon, since he leaves for the World Baseball Classic in March - he will be displacing Gordon, last year's opening-day shortstop.
If he is deemed a better fit at third, Ramirez will displace Luis Cruz, who batted .321 as the Dodgers' third baseman last year. The Dodgers have said Ramirez will be given the first opportunity to win the shortstop job, Cruz the job at third base.
That seems like the best-case scenario for Ramirez. Asked Friday if he would move to third base to accommodate Gordon, he said, "I'm all positive. Never negative. I want to play. I want to win."
Also ...
San Francisco Giants manager Bruce Bochy announced right- hander Matt Cain will start against Dodgers left-hander Clayton Kershaw on Opening Day. ... Sandy Koufax, wearing a No. 32 uniform, worked with Dodgers pitchers for a second straight day at Camelback Ranch. The Dodgers retired Koufax's No. 32 and rehired him as a special advisor to chairman Mark Walter in January. ...

PARAMOUNT - Downey is not going to defend its San Gabriel Valley League championship after losing the first eight games against league powers Warren, Paramount and Gahr.
But the Vikings are trying to play the role of spoiler. They played the role well on Friday, scoring once in the seventh and another in the eighth to beat Paramount 2-1 in extra innings.
Downey got a great eight-inning effort from sophomore lefty Randy Labaut, who allowed just eight hits and one run to pick up the win.
Labaut struck out Paramount's Jose Montalvo with the potential tying run on second and go-ahead on first to end a tense contest in which the Vikings' Jacob Cook was ejected after a late-inning collision at the plate with Paramount catcher Joseph Torres.
Had Paramount (14-9, 8-3) held on to its seventh-inning lead, the Pirates would have been in a three-way tie for first with Warren and Gahr with just two weeks to go in the season.
Paramount wasted a four-hit, 10-strikeout effort from senior lefty Ulices Moreno who was pulled after six innings and a 1-0 lead.
Randy Buenrostro singled in the bottom of the first and was forced out at second on an Aaron Pleitez groundout. Pleitez, though, moved to second on a balk and scored on Luis Lara's single to get the Pirates out to a 1-0 lead.
Moreno made that hold up through six, but the Vikings (11-12, 3-8) scored once in the seventh off Frankie Valenzuela when Ernest Davila walked and scored three batters later on an Ernest Davila RBI single that tied the game.
Cook was waved home on the play, but Pleitez threw a strike to Torres who took a shot from Cook, but held on to the ball for the out, and after a little shoving, Valenzuela got Gabriel Llanes to fly out to end the threat.
Downey scored the eventual game winner in the top of the eighth when Frankie Moreno hit a routine ground ball that looked to end the inning, but the Paramount first baseman had the ball pop out of his glove and Juan Gonzalez scored from second base to give Valenzuela and the Pirates a stunning loss.
Moreno struck out the first five batters of the game and somehow Downey found a way to win despite each of its starters striking out at least once and Llanes fanned three times.
Labaut surrendered seven hits, but struck out six Paramount batters and held the Pirates scoreless over the final seven innings.
Luis Lara was 2 for 2 with two walks and an RBI for Paramount.
Cesar Torres had three hits and a stolen base for Downey.
Paramount will host Warren Tuesday in the first of two with the Bears next week and sit a game back of both Warren and Gahr.

When I wrote my reaction to the new University of Minnesota program that essentially offers a one-year post doctoral path towards licensing, I realize that I created some confusion. Let me try to be clear.
First, I started my blog by saying that I "applaud the basic idea" of the program, but that I was troubled by the implication of one, and one aspect only: the emphasis on technical knowledge and the fact that obtaining this expertise was meant as a fix to get people towards licensure in a streamlined fashion. I did not criticize the program itself, and I hereby apologize for using the amount of ink it has generated to point out what I believe to be a much larger problem in the educational system in which architects are trained. I do not believe that the University of Minnesota program will make this situation better, but, if it makes it worse, it will only do so only by taking our attention away from what I think is the root problem here.
That problem, to reiterate, is the ever-increasing emphasis on professional skills and technical knowledge, and the de-emphasis on a four-year liberal arts training, which I believe to be the very best aspect of the American educational system. I believe this because I think we all need to be trained as citizens and members of a culture before we learn marketable and serviceable skills. We need to understand why and where we do what we do—we need a context.
My bias, and I am happy to defend it against the kind of vitriolic reaction that people seem to feel is necessary when discussing anything to do with professional licensure and permissible when responding to a blog post, is toward architecture as a cultural endeavor (hence the name of the tab under which you are reading this). That means that I believe that the making of buildings is a technical pursuit defined by scientific parameters that has to perform according to measurable standards, but that architecture is also the making of something more, something that has meaning and relevance and is worth an investment in both learning and in production that goes beyond what the making of a building would entail or cost.
If you do not agree with that, then it is natural to want architectural education to be as compact, focused, and efficient as possible. I would say that then the degree should then be a bachelor's or a master's in building realization, and the license should recognize you as a building maker or building manager.
Several people also pointed out that I lamented the increasing cost of education, while calling for the maintenance of a system that is lengthy and wasteful. That is true—it is one of the conundrums we face. I believe we need to figure out how to control the costs of a liberal arts education, but also need to invest in it as a society so we can all afford its blessings.
Finally, several responders pointed out that the path to becoming a licensed architect today is ponderous, long, and not always pleasant. I would agree. I do not, however, think that we can fix that by lengthening the amount of time dedicated to obtaining professional and technical skills at the expense of what should be the fun and is the important stuff: knowing yourself, your world, and why and how you make architecture, as opposed to buildings, in the first place.

That's my name, don't wear it out
Katherine Noyes put together a brief piece for PC World today about Linux release names which, overall, she seems to consider "silly." In the process, she omits a great bit of detail on the "what" and "why" aspect of distro communities and how they come up with these "silly" names.
Digitally speaking, from a purely anthropological standpoint it is far from silly, and actually it's quite an interesting topic, though Noyes seems to race through it without giving much detail.
So let me help out here.
Debian: Release names come from "Toy Story." As humorous as it is simple, this naming convention is one of the best. An interesting corollary to this is the Debian-based CrunchBang naming convention mirrors the first letter of the current Debian release, but matches it with a character from "The Muppet Show." So Debian "Squeeze" is translated in CrunchBang to "Statler. "Wheezy" begets "Waldorf." Statler and Waldorf, of course, are the two old guys in the balcony in "The Muppet Show."
Linux Mint: I particularly like the naming convention Clement Lefevbre has come up with for Linux Mint. It's alphabetically a woman's name ending in "a." We're at Julia now. I asked Clement once what he'd do when he got to "Zelda" (or whatever the "Z" name will be for Linux Mint when they get that far . . . and they will), and he said that it was simple: Start with a name beginning with "A" and end the name in "e."
Ubuntu: We all know the drill here — SABDFL* Mark Shuttleworth comes up with an adjective and an animal with the same first letter and hands it down to a waiting community. Which is in complete contrast to . . .
Fedora: There is a formula here that the Fedora Project adheres to before all hell breaks loose and fistfights break out in the Fedora community while they vote on the release name. The formula is simple: "$CURRENT_RELEASE_NAME is a (whatever it is — i.e., city, body of water, person, thing) and so is $NEXT_RELEASE_NAME." Looking at Fedora 15 "Lovelock" to the current Fedora 16 "Verne," it goes like this: James Lovelock was a futurologist, and so was Jules Verne. Now how they got from Verne to Fedora 17's "Beefy Miracle" is a mystery for the ages.
OpenSUSE: OpenSUSE's naming convention . . . does OpenSUSE even have a naming convention for releases?
Got a distro that has a naming convention worthy of mentioning? Let me know.
*Self-appointed benevolent dictator for life, for those of you keeping score at home.
(Larry Cafiero is one of the founders of the Lindependence Project and has just started developing software in his new home office.)
December 31, 2011 at 7:01 am
getting from Verne to Beefy Miracle is a miracle of course.
actually it was a secret plot to get jono bacon to admit that he is a fedora fan:
December 31, 2011 at 2:08 pm
You neglected the cleverest bit about the Debian release naming formula. The "Unstable" branch — the one under development to become the next "Stable" release — is always called "Sid", named after another Toy Story character; the boy next door, who breaks all the toys.

Keizer murder investigation
Wednesday night, the Keizer Police Department responded to 4826 Ventura Loop North. They found a woman who was dead and a man suffering injuries from gunshot wounds.
The Keizer Police Department is being assisted by members of the Marion County Homicide Assault Response Team (H.A.R.T.) and the Marion County District Attorney's Office.
Investigators arrested two teenagers and have identified them as 17 year old Brett Pearson and 17 year old Robert Miller II. Pearson is the son of Michelle and Bill Pearson, the two people shot. Miller is Brett Pearson's friend. Investigators believe they know each other from school.
Police have not said why the two shot Brett's parents, or where they got the gun. They are charged with Measure 11 crimes, which come with mandatory sentences. It also means they will be charged as adults.
