Skip to comments.Research: Pig Manure Can Become Crude Oil
Posted on 04/13/2004 10:24:01 AM PDT by m1-lightning
URBANA, Ill. - A University of Illinois research team is working on turning pig manure into a form of crude oil that could be refined to heat homes or generate electricity.
Years of research and fine-tuning are ahead before the idea could be commercially viable, but results so far indicate there might be big benefits for farmers and consumers, lead researcher Yanhui Zhang said.
"This is making more sense in terms of alternative energy or renewable energy and strategically for reducing our dependency on foreign oil," said Zhang, an associate professor of agricultural and biological engineering. "Definitely, there is potential in the long term."
The thermochemical conversion process uses intense heat and pressure to break down the molecular structure of manure into oil. It's much like the natural process that turns organic matter into oil over centuries, but in the laboratory the process can take as little as a half-hour.
A similar process is being used at a plant in Carthage, Mo., where tons of turkey entrails, feathers, fat and grease from a nearby Butterball turkey plant are converted into a light crude oil, said Julie DeYoung, a spokeswoman for Omaha, Neb.-based Conagra Foods, which operates the plant in a joint venture with Changing World Technologies of Long Island, N.Y.
Converting manure is sure to catch the attention of swine producers. Safe containment of livestock waste is costly for farmers, especially at large confinement operations where thousands of tons of manure are produced each year. Also, odors produced by swine farms have made them a nuisance to neighbors.
"If this ultimately becomes one of the silver bullets to help the industry, I'm absolutely in favor of it," said Jim Kaitschuk, executive director of the Illinois Pork Producers Association.
Zhang and his research team have found that converting manure into crude oil is possible in small batches, but much more research is needed to develop a continuously operating reaction chamber that could handle large amounts of manure. That is key to making the process practicable and economically viable.
Zhang predicted that one day a reactor the size of a home furnace could process the manure generated by 2,000 hogs at a cost of about $10 per barrel.
Big oil refineries are unlikely to purchase crude oil made from converted manure, Zhang said, because they aren't set up to refine it. But the oil could be used to fuel smaller electric or heating plants, or to make plastics, ink or asphalt, he said.
"Crude oil is our first raw material," he said. "If we can make it value-added, suddenly the whole economic picture becomes brighter."

(just like organic farming and all that other hippie crappola)
You can run Volvo's on hippie manure, too!!!
This is really exciting news. More data on it may be found here: Adobe .pdf file will download and open.
You're either being sarcastic or smoking crack.
Well you also use "intense heat" to crack and refine crude oil. You burn some oil to heat the rest is how you get it.
If they can produce it at $10 a barrel like the article says, that's a damn good deal.
And build them all in Massachusetts!
Yeah... Right!!! Wait'll your stuff hits that fan!!! Phewey!!!
Before you make a complete and total fool out of yourself, I would suggest a little research. Hydrocarbons found in fossil fuels are relatively short carbon strings, with a bunch of hydrogen attached. Turkey guts, methane gas, lumber, grass cuttings, feathers, tires and just about anything that once was living are just LONGER strings of hydrocarbons. Combinations of temperature and pressure will break down these long strings, into short strings - which is EXACTLY what a petrolium refinery does with crude. So, by simply changing the process a wee bit, we can produce Gasoline (yep, gasoline) from turkey offal, dead pigs, cows, grass clippings, seaweed ... whatever.
The process is NOT even remotely like the process of using french frie waste oil to power a VW.
Might I suggest you just review this article, originally taken from 'Discovery' magazine.
No I think windpower is the renewable alternate energy of the future, along with GE and Shell and many other large corporations and financial institutions. It is already at 40 gw installed power and has maintained a 25 percent growth rate for about 10 years. That is doubling every 3 years.
A: From crude oink.
So build them on your own property then, so the remains from cut-up birds can damage your home and the noise from windmills will give you the heebie-jeebies at night.
Never be downwind of a vehicle fueled by gas from Pig Manure!
The only limiting factors, are Greenpeace complaints that they shred birds, and the fact you can't build them within site of land owned by the Kennedys or other "Limousine Liberals".
Ok, you need something to burn to start the process. This will later be replaced with the product, but to get started you need a fuel source.
We start by removing the water. Traditionally, this was done in a very inefficent manner, such that the total efficiency of removing the water took more energy than the product produced. Now, we use water to our advantage. Start by sealing the container, and heating it to ~400 F, and about 350psi. This breaks down the carbon strings a bit. Now, remove the pressure and you will remove most of the water - which we reclaim for heating the next batch.
This hot mixture (now minus the water content) is heated to about 600 F, under about 400 psi (much lower pressure/temp ratio, as the water is gone). Let sit for about 2 hours. This really breaks down the hydrocarbon stings. By the way, this is EXACTLY how we make gasoline and ligher petrolium oils.
In short, we have done in a matter of hours what mother nature takes millions of years to do. Pressure and temperature transform a forest into coal, dinosaurs into oil. We just sped the process up a few billion-fold.
The only limiting factors, are Greenpeace complaints that they shred birds, and the fact you can't build them within sight of land owned by the Kennedys or other "Limousine Liberals". (DOH!)
On second thought, the devil isn't willfully ignorant. So, that analogy fails.
This is just another load the farmer hauled away...
You could tell by the smell it wasn't hay...
next it'll be scientific as fungschway...

Frenchville Man Charged With Trafficking in Meth
Maine Drug Enforcement agents arrested a Frenchville man and charged him with trafficking in methamphetamine. The investigation is ongoing and police expect more arrests will be made.
Michael Fongemie, 20 has been the subject of an ongoing investigation involving the sale of methamphetamine being sold in tablet form. On the evening of December 13th, drug agents conducted an undercover operation and were able to purchase a quantity of the drug from Fongemie in Frenchville.
He was arrested and taken to the Aroostook County Jail in Houlton. He is now free on $20,000 bail. A search following the arrest yielded about 200 tablets containing methamphetamine and a loaded .32 caliber revolver. The street value of the drugs is about $5,000. It's believed they're coming from out of state.
Fongemie is charged with Class A Felony Aggravated Trafficking in Schedule W drugs. (methamphetamine) The Drug Enforcement Agency says the investigation is ongoing and more arrests are expected. Anyone with any information is asked to contact the Aroostook MDEA District Field Office in Houlton at 532-0501.

AgReliant Genetics, Purdue Ag create fund for student research
August 20, 2013
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - AgReliant Genetics and Purdue University and have created a $1 million endowment fund to support College of Agriculture graduate students conducting research in areas such as plant science, plant breeding and genetics, and soil sciences.
Establishment of the AgReliant Genetics Endowment, in which the company and university are to contribute $500,000 each through Purdue's Graduate Education Match program, was announced Tuesday (Aug. 20).
The endowment signifies the importance of research and education in a vital and complex industry, said Craig Newman, president and chief executive of AgReliant Genetics and a Purdue alumnus.
"With the ever-increasing population, it's critical that today's agricultural industry invests in the research being conducted by tomorrow's agricultural leaders," he said. "Purdue's College of Agriculture is world-renowned, and we are honored to work with such a reputable institution to further the research and development of new innovations."
Preference for funding will be given to graduate students conducting research in plant sciences, plant breeding and genetics, and soil sciences and to students in the agronomy department. Students in horticulture, entomology, botany and plant pathology, and other academic departments involved in relevant areas of research also will be considered for funding.
Jay Akridge, Glenn W. Sample Dean of the College of Agriculture, said the endowment reflects the commitment of AgReliant Genetics and Purdue Agriculture to enhancing graduate education and research in the plant and soil sciences.
"This investment will help ensure that we continue to produce the human talent that industry needs," he said.
AgReliant Genetics, based in Westfield, Ind., was created in 2000 as a joint venture between the international seed groups KWS and Limagrain. Ranked among the largest field seed companies in North America, it markets corn, soybean and alfalfa seed through six brands: AgriGold Hybrids, Great Lakes Hybrids, LG Seeds, Producers Hybrids, Wensman Seed and Pride Seeds.

Deep Freeze Brings Normal Activity To A Halt
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Hundreds of school districts, businesses and government offices are closed as an arctic blast plunged temperatures to subzero lows not seen in nearly two decades in Minnesota.
The National Weather Service posted a wind chill warning through Tuesday. Forecasters say wind chill temperatures are expected to drop as low as 65 below zero.
A propane auxiliary heating unit pressed into service because of the extreme cold exploded Sunday outside an apartment complex in the Hennepin County community of Rogers. Four-hundred to 500 residents were evacuated from the complex into the bitter cold. Some residents say they were knocked off their feet when the explosion shook their apartments and blew out windows. Authorities say 10 to 12 apartments are uninhabitable, but other residents were allowed to return later in the day.

While record highs have been dominating the headlines, these highs can't last, so you have to find a way to be a part of the sell-off when it occurs. This stock market rally has to end at some point and that there are ways with put options on the E-Mini S&P futures or the E-mini Dow futures to participate in a stock market crash if and when it happens.
By nature, I am not a top- or bottom-picker, but I can structure some strategies that my clients can benefit from if the "SUPER-TREND" up continues, or if the market crashes.
Here's a focus on 3 different time frames in the E-mini S&P: daily, weekly and monthly.
I have added some of my favorite technical indicators to these daily, weekly, and monthly charts below. They are the 9-, 20- and 50-day simple moving averages (SMA), the Bollinger Bands (light blue shaded area), Candlesticks (red and green bars), Bollinger Band Width (bottom chart), and finally Volume (middle chart).
I happen to like these indicators because they can literally tell me dozens of important things and they can do this on any timeframe and any market.
These indicators all tell me the same thing about each time frame: that all three are in what I refer to as a "SUPER-TREND" up. This occurs when the 9-period SMA (red line) crosses up and over the 20-day SMA (green line) as both SMA's point higher on fairly sharp angles and the market itself trades and holds above the 9-period SMA.
I've got this on all 3 time frames simultaneously for the first time that I can ever remember in any market since I have been using these indicators. That's right—the daily, weekly and monthly E-Mini S&P futures charts are all in a "SUPER-TREND" up!
Same indicators as above, same result; the indicators determine that the weekly E-Mini S&P chart is in a "SUPER-TREND" up. The 9-period SMA (red line) crossed up and over the 20-period SMA (green line) during the week of Jan. 14. While at one time or another the 9-day SMA didn't hold as support, the 20-period SMA did so. Therefore, on occasion the market went from a "SUPER-TREND" up to an upward trend. However, now we are above the 9-period SMA and we just made another new high!

NEW YORK (AP) — In "Forever Dusty," Kirsten Holly Smith's ambitious and stylish musical about iconic soul singer Dusty Springfield, the star cycles through a kaleidoscopic collection of '60s-style wigs, minidresses and gowns, often gazing out at the audience with eyes obscured by a seemingly impossible abundance of eye shadow and mascara.
The frequent costume changes and heavy makeup reflect the challenges Smith faces in her wide-ranging portrait — an obvious labor-of-love that she co-wrote with Jonathan Vankin and performs with impressive attention to detail.
In the writers' valiant if flawed attempt to show every divergent side of their subject, Springfield is something of a moving target — an Irish girl from London who rose to international stardom but remained an elusive figure in the public eye and a contradiction in her private life.
The basic story arc of Springfield's life resembles what has become an all-too-familiar boilerplate for the biography of a troubled rock star. A young visionary, enraptured by the music of her heroes, spins uncommon natural talent and romantic determination into a meteoric career that is ultimately cut short by drugs, alcohol and hubris.
Smith's portrait digs deeper than the typical star-gone-bad formula, touching on a broad swath of personal and social aspects of Springfield's life, like how she opposed segregation in apartheid South Africa, her management of public perception with respect to her sexuality, an implied split personality and serious health problems that included bouts of self-harm.
It's a lot to cram into a 90-minute musical, particularly when you're stopping along the way for love songs by Burt Bacharach and Carole King.
Unfortunately, certain dramatic elements of "Forever Dusty," which opened Sunday at off-Broadway's New World Stages, feel like they've been squeezed together for the sake of propelling an ambitious narrative that struggles to touch all the bases in a coherent way.
As a result, many of the scenes between musical numbers fail to gain much traction and at times become a hindrance, if only because they don't measure up to the superb singing of Smith and her co-star Christina Sajous, who plays Dusty's lover Claire, among other characters.
Smith bears a striking physical resemblance to the title character and displays a nuanced command of Springfield's unique vocal style, performing standbys like "You Don't Have To Say You Love Me," ''The Look of Love," and "Son of a Preacher Man."
Accompanied by a funky, four-piece band, the singers complement each other neatly, with Dusty's smooth, subdued approach contrasting Sajous' hard-hitting voice and energetic presence.
Sajous leaves a lasting impression — and a blur of sequins — in her electric rendition of the soul classic "Tell Him" by the Exciters, a high-energy, danceable tune that opens Dusty's ears to the American sound.
The play breezes through a famous chapter of Springfield's life in which her tour is canceled and she is deported from South Africa for performing for racially integrated audience.
Benim Foster plays legendary record producer Jerry Wexler and also a British journalist who first reports Springfield's romantic interest in women, a revelation the singer had avoided for years because of the potential fallout it would cause in her career.
In covering the entire span of Springfield's life and career, the show even recreates a 1980s collaboration with the Pet Shop Boys, a musical number that probably wasn't necessary.
While Smith has embraced her subject with unquestioned thoroughness as an actor, singer and writer, her script could benefit from some tinkering to hone its focus and strike a better balance between its theatrical and musical elements.
At the very least, "Forever Dusty" is sure to give Springfield fans a rare, richly developed revue of her music, if only a skin-deep reading of her life and place among her contemporaries.

UPDATED, 6 p.m.: Mayor Nutter said he supports the district's "ask" - $75 to $110 million. He said the city now has to figure out funding.
UPDATED, 3 p.m.: Superintendent Arlene C. Ackerman has asked the city for $75-$110 million more from the city. She said the district's top three priorities are full-day kindergarten, restoring transportation services, and keeping class sizes low. She said she'd be open to talking about restoring funding for alternative schools, a priority that Mayor Nutter has signaled is important to him.
Check the live Twitter stream below for minute-by-minute details.
Those fireworks you'll hear coming from City Hall later today?
That will be the school district presenting its grim 2011-12 budget to City Council. Here's the preview my colleague Troy Graham (no relation!) and I worked on for today's editions.
Well, actually, the district presentation should be pretty sobering — you've heard the litany: eliminating full day kindergarten and most transportation, shutting alternative schools, slashing school budgets, cutting everything from special education and instrumental music programs to money for buildings. More than 3,000 jobs will be lost.
But I imagine that some Council members will ask Superintendent Arlene Ackerman, Chief Financial Officer Michael Masch and other top district folks tough questions about how the district got where it is today and why certain things are on the chopping block. Masch says the district is ready and has left "no stone unturned" when it comes to the budget.
Check back here for updates. You folks seem to like the live Tweets of key district events, so I'll be doing that from today's Council hearings. Think good thoughts for a strong wireless signal and a good seat next to an electrical outlet for me! The hearing is scheduled to begin at 10 today and continue with public testimony tomorrow.

(1) To some types of people this study (of symbols) is relatively easy; to the majority it is not easy at all, thereby indicating a lack that must be supplied by the use of those faculties at the present dormant. It is always distasteful to arouse the latent faculties, and requires an effort, and a determination not to be swayed by personality reactions. To many it is not easily apparent how the penetration into the meaning of a symbol can provide a means whereby the dormant buddhic or intuitional faculty can be brought into functioning activity. It is a delicate art, this art of symbol reading, of "spiritual reading", as our ancient master, Patanjali, calls it. This power to interpret symbols, ever precedes true revelation. (10 - 8).
(2) Your capacity to read a "meaning" into a symbol, will be dependent also upon the richness of the meaning you ascribe to the events of your daily life, and your ability to really meditate . . . There is no set interpretation of any symbol, and for each human being that symbol - whatever it may be - will convey unique meaning. A lack of interest in symbols presupposes usually a lack of interest in the due interpretation of life forms and their meaning. Also, too much academic interest in symbols, may presuppose a tortuous and intricate mind, which loves design and line and form and numerical relationships, but which misses entirely the significance of meaning. The balancing in the mind of form and concept, of expression and quality, of sign and meaning, is vital to the growth of the disciple and the aspirant. (10 - 12).
(3) We must learn to see symbols all around us, and then to penetrate behind the symbol to the idea which it should express. (10 - 13).
(4) Teaching which would be intelligible to an initiate of the third degree, would be profitless and unintelligible even to the highly integrated and intelligent disciple, especially as such teaching is given necessarily through the use of most abstract and complicated symbols, requiring careful analysis and interpretation. None of this higher teaching is given through words, either spoken or written. (15 - 345).
[Page 399]
(5) In this aspect of impression the subject of SYMBOLS must necessarily be involved. All impressions must necessarily be translated and interpreted in symbols, in word forms, or in pictorial representations; these the aspirant cannot avoid; and it is in the word forms (which are, needless to point out, in the nature of symbols) that he is apt to go astray. They are the media through which the registered impression is conveyed to the brain consciousness, i.e. to the physical plane awareness of the disciple, thus making possible his useful comprehension of abstract ideas or of those aspects of the Path which it is his duty to understand and teach. (11 - 106).
(1) The first of the factors revealing the divine nature, and the first of the great psychological aspects of God, is the tendency to synthesis. This tendency runs through all nature, all consciousness, and is life itself. The motivating urge of God, His outstanding desire, is towards union and at-one-ment. It was this tendency or quality which Christ sought both to reveal and to dramatise for humanity. (15 - 231).
(2) Here we have the synthesis of soul with spirit pointed out to us, and the synthesis of soul with matter also emphasised, thus completing the unification and the desired at-one-ment.
But the synthesis of Deity, His tendency to blend and fuse, is far more inclusive and universal than any possible expression in the human kingdom, which is, after all, but a small part of the greater whole. Man is not all that is possible, nor the consummation of God's thought. The sweep of this instinct to synthesis underlies all universes, constellations, solar systems, planets, and kingdoms in nature, as well as the activity aspect and achievement of man, the individual. (15 - 232).
(3) Thus the trend to synthesis is an instinct inherent in the entire universe, and man is today only awakening to its immediacy and potency.
It is this divine attribute in man which makes his physical body an integral part of the physical world; which makes him psychically gregarious and willing to herd (of choice or perforce) with his fellow men. It is this principle, working or functioning through the human consciousness, which has led to the formation of our huge modern cities - symbols of a coming higher civilisation, which we call the kingdom of God, wherein the relationship between men will be exceedingly close psychically. It is this instinct to unify, which underlies all mysticism and all religions, for man seeks ever [Page 400] a closer union with God, and naught can arrest his at-one-ment (in consciousness) with Deity. It is this instinct which is the basis of his sense of immortality, and which is his guarantee of union with the opposite pole to the personality - the Soul. (15 - 233/4).
(4) We have been taught much anent the great heresy of separativeness; it is this that is offset when a man permits the "trend towards synthesis" to pour through him as a divine potency, and thus to condition his conduct. These divine trends have constituted the basic, subconscious urges, since the dawn of evolution. Today humanity can consciously adjust itself to them, and thus hasten the time wherein truth, beauty, and goodness will reign.
The disciples of the world, and the New Group of World Servers, as well as all intelligent and active aspirants, have today the responsibility of recognising these trends, and particularly this trend to unification. The work of the Hierarchy at this time is peculiarly connected with this, and They, and all of us, must foster and nurture this tendency, wherever found. The standardisation and regimentation of nations, is but an aspect of this move towards synthesis, but one that is being misapplied and prematurely enforced. All moves towards national and world synthesis, are good and right, but they must be consciously and willingly undertaken by intelligent men and women, and the methods employed to bring about this fusion, must not infringe the law of love. The swing at this time towards religious unity, is also a part of the emerging beauty, and though forms must disappear (because they are a source of separation) the inner, spiritual synthesis must be developed. These two outstanding instances of this divine trend, as they emerge in the human consciousness, are here mentioned, because they must be recognised, and all awakening souls must work for these ends. The moment there is knowledge, and a flash of understanding, that moment a man's responsibility begins. (15 - 236).
(5) Synthesis dictates the trend of all evolutionary processes today; all is working towards larger unified blocks, towards amalgamations, international relationships, global planning, brotherhood, economic fusion, the free flow of commodities everywhere, interdependence, fellowship of faiths, movements based upon the welfare of humanity as a whole, and ideological concepts which deal with wholes, and which mitigate against division, separation and isolation. (18 - 121).
[Page 401]
(1) Initiates receive instruction directly from the Masters or from some of the great devas or angels. These teachings are usually imparted at night in small classes, or individually (should the occasion warrant) in the Master's private study. The above applies to initiates in incarnation or on the inner planes. If on causal levels, they receive instruction at any time deemed advisable, direct from the Master to the Ego on causal levels.
Disciples are taught in groups in the Master's Ashram, or classroom, at night, if in incarnation. Apart from these regular gatherings, in order to receive direct teaching from the Master, a disciple (for some specific reason) may be called to the Master's study for a private interview. This occurs when a Master wishes to see a disciple for commendation, warning, or to decide if initiation is desirable. The major part of a disciple's tuition is left in the hands of some initiate or more advanced disciple, who watches over his younger brother, and is responsible to the Master for his progress, handing in regular reports. Karma is largely the arbiter of this relation. (1 - 69).
(2) All teachers, who have taken pupils in hand for training, and who seek to use them in world service, follow the method of imparting a fact (oft veiled in words and blinded by symbol) and then of leaving the pupil to follow his own deductions. Discrimination is thereby developed, and discrimination is the main method whereby the Spirit effects its liberation from the trammels of matter, and discerns between illusion and that which is veiled by it. (3 - 173).
(3) Teachers on the inner planes have much to contend with owing to the slowness of the mental processes of students in physical bodies . . . Aspirants to this difficult work must watch themselves with infinite care, and keep the inner serenity and peace and a mental pliability that will tend to make them of some use in the guarding and guidance of humanity. (4 - 65).
(4) Lack of calm in the daily life prevent the teachers on egoic levels from reaching you. Endeavour, therefore, to remain quiescent as life unrolls; work, toil, strive, aspire, and hold the inner calm. Withdraw steadily into interior work and so cultivate a responsiveness with the higher planes. A perfect steadiness of inner poise is what the Masters need in those whom They seek to use. (4 - 66).
[Page 402]
(5) The group of Teachers with whom the average aspirants and probationary disciples may be in touch on the mental plane, are but men of like passions, but with a longer experience upon the path and a wiser control of themselves. They do not work with aspirants because They personally like or care for them, but because the need is great and They seek those whom They can train. The attitude of mind that They look for, is that of teachableness and the ability to record and refrain from questioning until more is known. Then the aspirant is urged to question everything. (4 - 182).
(6) When one lesson has, in this way, been mastered, a further one is set, and when a pupil has learnt a particular series of lessons, he graduates and passes an initiation. The whole group he teaches is benefited by his step forward, for every disciple carries those he instructs along with him in a curious indefinable sense. The benefit to the unit reacts upon the whole. A Master carries His disciples on and up with Him in a similar manner. (4 - 352).
(7) In the light of your own intuition and illumined mind (developed and brought to usefulness through meditation), take that aspect of the teaching which suits and aids you, and interpret it in the light of your own need and growth.
The days of personality contact, of personality attention and of personal messages are over, and have been over for quite a while, save in the vale of illusion, on the astral plane. This is a hard message, but no true disciple will misunderstand. From the depths of his own experience and struggle, he knows it to be so. It is the group of Masters, the Hierarchy as a whole, that is of moment, and its interaction with humanity. (14 - 112/3).
(8) Many will proclaim themselves as esoteric schools, and will communicate nothing of a truly esoteric nature. They will but attract to themselves the gullible and the foolish. There are many such functioning in this manner today. Others may refrain from all outer indication of esoteric and occult training, and yet convey the needed teaching. . . .
The Science of Meditation and the conscious building of the antahkarana will be the first two preliminary stages in the esoteric curriculum. Today, the true teaching of meditation and the construction of the bridge of light between the Triad and the personality, are the most advanced teaching given anywhere.
Humanity is, however, ready for exceedingly rapid development, and this readiness will demonstrate increasingly in the postwar period, and for it the disciples of the world must make ready. Two factors will bring this about: the first is the tremendous stimulation which the war, its demands [Page 403] and its consequences, have given to the human consciousness and, secondly, the coming in of very advanced souls ever since the year 1925. These souls will be ready to give the needed training and instruction when the right time comes, having brought it over with them when they came into incarnation, and knowing normally and naturally what the modern esoteric student is struggling to grasp and understand. (18 - 121/2).
(9) All esoteric training has to be self-applied; this is as true of the Christ as it is of the humblest aspirant. (8 - 99).
(10) The true teacher must deal in truth and in sincerity with all seekers. His time (in so far as he is held by the time equation on the physical plane) is too valuable to waste in social politeness or in refraining from making critical comment where a good purpose would be served. He must depend thoroughly upon the sincerity of those whom he teaches. Nevertheless, criticism and the pointing out of faults and errors does not always prove helpful; it may but increase responsibility, evoke antagonism or unbelief, or produce depression - three of the most undesirable results of the use of the critical faculty . . .
Those upon the teaching ray will learn to teach by teaching. There is no surer method, provided it is accompanied by a deep love, personal yet at the same time impersonal, for those who are to be taught. Above everything else, I would enjoin upon you the inculcation of the group spirit, for that is the first expression of true love. (12 - 13).
(11) Information anent the Hierarchy should take the following lines:
1. Emphasis should be laid on the evolution of humanity, with peculiar attention to its goal, perfection. This is not the idealistic perfection of the visionary mystic, but the control of the instrument, man in incarnation, by the indwelling and overshadowing soul. The constitution of man should be increasingly taught.
2. The relation of the individual soul to all souls should be taught, and with it the recognition that the long-awaited kingdom of God is imply the appearance of soul-controlled men on earth in everyday life and at all stages of that control.
3. From a recognition of this relationship, the fact of the spiritual Hierarchy can then be deduced and the normality of its existence emphasised. The fact will appear that the Kingdom has always been present, but has remained unrecognised, owing to the relatively few people who express, as yet, its quality.
4. When this recognition has become general, the idea (by this time permanently present in the human consciousness everywhere) and good sense [Page 404] also will testify to the fact of the presence of Those Who have achieved the goal; Their demonstration of divinity will be regarded as normal, as constituting a universal objective, and as the guarantee of humanity's future achievement; degrees of this divine expression can then be pointed out, ranging from that of the probationary disciple, through disciples, to Those Who have achieved mastery, and up to and inclusive of the Christ.
5. Thus gradually the idea or concept of the existence in bodily presence, of the Masters will be inculcated and steadily accepted; a new attitude to the Christ will be developed, which will be inclusive of all the best that the past has given us, but which will integrate men into a more sane and acceptable approach to the entire problem.
6. The time will come when the fact of the presence on earth of the Christ as Head of the Hierarchy and the Director of the Kingdom of God, will be accepted; men will also realise the truth of the present revolutionary statement that at no time has He ever left the earth.
7. Emphasis will also increasingly be laid upon the unfolding Plan, and men will be brought to its recognition through a study of the evolution of the human family, through a close consideration of historical processes, and through a comparative analysis of ancient and modern civilisations and cultures. The thread of purpose will be noted and followed through, century after century, integrating not only history into one complete story of the revelation of divine qualities through the medium of humanity, but integrating with it and into it all world philosophies, the central theme of all creative art, the symbolism of architecture, and the conclusions of science. (13 - 588/9).
(12) Humanity has never really lived up to the teaching given to it. Spiritual impression, whether conveyed by the Christ, by Krishna or by Buddha (and passed on to the masses by Their disciples) has not yet been expressed as it was hoped. Men do not live up to what they already know; they fail to make practical their information; they short-circuit the light; they do not discipline themselves; greedy desire and unlawful ambition control, and not the inner knowledge. (6 - 48).
[Page 405]
(1) It is necessary for all those isolated disciples working in every country in the world, to become aware of one another, and then to enter into telepathic rapport. This may seem to you to be a wonderful but impractical vision. I assure you that this is not so. The work of establishing this rapport may indeed be slow, but it is an inevitable effect of the growing sensitivity of all the souls who are working in the field of the world. The first indication of it is that instinctive recognition of those who constitute part of this group when they meet and contact each other in the ways of world intercourse. There comes to them an immediate flashing forth of the light, an instantaneous electrical interplay, a sudden sensing of a similarity of vision and of objective, or a vital opportunity to aid in and to co-operate with each other in the work in which it is realised that all are interested. (4 - 421).
(2) Some day the true telepathic communication and vision will take the place of speech and of writings. (4 - 478).
(3) All small groups of people, naturally and inevitably, arrive at a telepathic relation between themselves, and between the personnel of similar groups, and this is to be desired and fostered, and should rightly and steadily increase. (10 - 19).
(4) As generally used today, (telepathy) indicates two powers:
1. An instinctual registering of some situation, some call and some impression, which impinges on the solar plexus centre. This power of impression is Not controlled; there is no supervised intentional mental perception of a directed message; there is only a tuning in on a state of mind or on a condition and situation connected with the one who is regarded as sending the message. In nine cases out of ten, this message is one of distress, and goes forward and produces its effect without any capacity on the part of the recipient to induce the reception of the message. An illustration of this would be the recognition by a mother that a loved child is in danger.
2. A form of clairvoyance, which enables the man to see that which is hidden, such as the number of symbols on a playing card which is lying face downwards upon the table.
True telepathy, however, is a direct mental communication from mind to mind, and in its more advanced expression is a communication from soul to soul, using the mind later as a formulator of the communication, as in the case of inspiration. It is interesting to note (and instructive also in view of our subject), that in true telepathic registration, the lesser powers may [Page 406] be raised and used at a high level of awareness. It is well known esoterically that:
a. Some people simply record telepathically in their minds the information coming from another mind. The registration as well as the communication is wordless and formless. The recipient simply knows, and the imparted knowledge takes form in the consciousness without any intermediate stages or steps. This is formless telepathy.
b. Other people instantaneously step down into form the knowledge which has been imparted; they will see the message, word, or information, appear before their eyes in written or printed form, as if it were posed upon a moving screen, seen within the head.
c. Others will step the information down into form whereby they hear it.
In these latter two cases, the true man is making use of his latent lower powers, raising them to as high a level as possible, and subordinating them to mental or soul uses. The difference between this usage of the power of clairvoyant and clairaudient demonstration, is that in this case there is full mental control and understanding, and in the ther cases the lower powers are automatically employed, are uncontrolled, are occupied with matters of no true importance, and are not understood in any way by the one who is employing them. (15 - 565/7).
(5) One of the characteristics, distinguishing the group of world servers and knowers, is that the outer organisation which holds them integrated, is practically non-existent. They are held together by an inner structure of thought and by a telepathic medium of inter-relation. The Great Ones, Whom we all seek to serve, are thus linked, and can - at the slightest need and with the least expenditure of force - get en rapport with each other. They are all tuned to a particular vibration, (11 - 1).
(6) The strong desire to achieve success in telepathic work, and the fear of failure, are the surest ways to offset fruitful effort. In all such work as this an attitude of non-attachment, and a spirit of "don't care" are of real assistance. . . . Emotion and desire for anything, on the part of the receiving agent, create streams of emanating energy which rebuff or repulse that which seeks to make contact, such as the directed thought of someone seeking rapport. (11 - 10).
(7) The first step then is the fact of recording and of reducing into correct and available concepts, ideas and thought-forms, that which he has registered. This marks the first stage in his truly occult service, and to this new type of service he will be increasingly dedicated. (11 - 93).
(8) I have given no instructions as to the art of developing telepathic [Page 407] sensitivity. The reason is, as I have told you before, that this sensitivity should be, and always is, a normal unfoldment when the disciple is correctly oriented, completely dedicated, and learning decentralisation. . . . Gradually, as the disciple acquires true freedom of thought and the power to be receptive to the impression of the abstract mind, he creates for himself a reservoir of thought, which becomes available at need for the helping of other people, and for the necessities of his growing world service. Later he becomes sensitive to impression from the Hierarchy. . . . The point which I seek to make here, however, is the fact of the existence of a growing reservoir of thought, which the disciple has created in response to the many varying impressions to which he is becoming increasingly sensitive; the ideas, concepts and spiritual objectives of which he is becoming aware, are steadily being formulated by him into thoughts with their appropriated thought-forms, and upon these he learns to draw as he seeks to serve his fellowmen. . . .
The essential point to be grasped, is that the sensitivity to impression is a normal and natural unfoldment, paralleling spiritual development. I gave you a clue to the entire process when I said that:
"Sensitivity to impression involves the engendering of a magnetic aura, upon which the highest impressions can play".
I would have you give the deepest consideration to those words. As the disciple begins to demonstrate soul quality, and the second divine aspect takes possession of him, and controls and colours his entire life, automatically the higher sensitivity is developed; he becomes a magnet for spiritual ideas and concepts; he attracts into his field of consciousness the outline, and later the details, of the hierarchical Plan; he becomes aware eventually of the planetary Purpose; all these impressions are not things which he must seek out and learn laboriously to ascertain, to hold and seize upon. They drop into his field of consciousness because he has created a magnetic aura, which invokes them and brings them "into his mind". This magnetic aura begins to form itself from the first moment he makes a contact with his soul; it deepens and grows as those contacts increase in frequency, and become eventually an habitual state of consciousness; then, at will and at all times, he is en rapport with his soul, the second divine aspect.
It is this aura which is in reality the reservoir of thought-substance upon which he can spiritually rely. . . . A disciple is a magnetic centre of light and knowledge, just in so far as the magnetic aura is held by him in a state of receptivity, (11 - 94/6).
(9) The word telepathy has been used primarily to cover the many [Page 408] phases of mental contact and the exchange of thought, without the use of the spoken word, or written word or sign. (11 - 109).
(10) The five senses, where a Master is concerned, exist and are used at need, but the contact established and maintained with disciples and senior aspirants in the world (through whom They primarily work), is largely telepathic; hearing and sight, as you understand their uses, are not involved. The science of impression, with its greatly increased effectiveness over individual contact through the senses, has entirely superseded the more strictly human method. Except in the case of Masters working on the physical plane and in the physical body, the outer physical senses are in abeyance; for the majority of Masters Who still use these senses, the use is strictly limited; Their work is still almost entirely subjective and the mode of telepathic interplay and of impression is practically all the means which They employ to reach Their working agents. (13 - 568/9).
(11) Telepathic sensitivity . . . How then can you keep your minds free from your own desires and from your own interpretations? . . . Are there any specific and brief rules which should be obeyed? The following might be given, but I would remind you that it is what you are that counts in this work more powerfully than anything else. The controlling factor is harmlessness in thought and word; the practice of this, with proper observation, will greatly help all of you. Next comes a refusal to think unkindly or with criticism; this is essential in connection with those whose minds you seek to impress. Silence, complete and unbroken as to what you are doing, is
also a vital factor; the utterance of words in connection with this most subtle and confidential work (or even the discussion of the work with a fellow-disciple) can shatter the delicate thought-form which you are attempting to build. It can render the work of weeks abortive. A balanced attitude in relation to those in power throughout the world must also be cultivated; they need above all else the inspiration which can be brought to them from the Hierarchy. (5 - 65/6).
(1) The third or spiritual eye has several functions. Amongst others, it is the organ for illumination, the unveiled eye of the soul, through which light and illumination comes into the mind, and thus the entire lower life becomes irradiated. It is also the organ through which pours the directing [Page 409] energy which streams out from the conscious creating adept to the instruments of service, his thought-forms.
The little evolved do not, of course, employ the third eye for the stimulating of their thought-forms. (3 - 974/5).
(2) When the third eye is used, which is the case in contemplation, it is the synthesiser and director of triple energy; hence the powerful work performed by those in whom it is functioning. The third eye only begins to function when the third circle of egoic petals is beginning slowly to unfold. (3 - 1007).
(3) One of the fundamental rules back of all magical processes is that no man is a magician or worker in white magic until the third eye is opened, or in process of opening, for it is
by means of that eye that the thought-form is energised, directed and controlled and the lesser builders or forces are swept into any particular line of activity. (3 - 1008).
(4) The "Eye of Shiva" in the human being has its position . . . in the centre of the forehead between the two physical eyes.
It is not to be confounded with the pineal gland, which is distinctly a physical centre or gland. The third eye exists in etheric matter, and is an etheric centre of force, . . . whereas the pineal gland is formed of matter of the three lower sub-planes of the physical plane. The latter, nevertheless, has to be functioning more or less before the "Eye of Shiva" becomes in any degree active. (3 - 1009).
(5) The third eye is the director of energy or force, and thus an instrument of the will of Spirit. . . . It is the eye of the inner vision, and he who has opened it can direct and control the energy of matter, see all things in the Eternal Now, and therefore be in touch with causes more than with effects, read the akashic records, and see clairvoyantly. . . . It is through the medium of this "all-seeing eye" that the Adept can at any moment put Himself in touch with His disciples anywhere. (3 - 1010/1).
(6) Through the practice of the power of visualisation, the third eye is developed. (3 - 1012).
(7) The third eye links the awakened physical plane man with the astral or subjective world, and enables him to function consciously there. . . . The third eye is the window of the Ego or soul functioning on the physical plane whereby he looks inward into the three worlds. (3 - 1130).
(8) The third eye is an energy centre constructed by man; it is a correspondence to the energy centre, the causal body, constructed by the Monad. (3 -1160).

I own both an iPad and a Nexus 7. I like the Nexus better, but I do like my iPad. I find the Nexus is more flexible and open (for installation of apps) than the iPad. Don't get me wrong, I am not poor mouthing the iPad. It is a very good device and suits many people's needs. I use my Nexus for professional reasons and the browser operates much much more like a PC than on the iPad.
Hey guys, until a week ago i never used any apple product while having many android devices: galaxy nexus, s3 and nexus 7 (still have) and now that my s3 broke i switched to iPhone 4s and i love it for it's speed, smoothes of the browser and all the apps and it generally feels much faster than any of my previous android devices. My question is should i trade my nexus 7 for an iPad now with some extra cash, because i decided i really like ios mostly because of it's constant smoothness and speed but i've never used an iPad so i'm after some tips. My nexus 7 has been performing generally well but recently, especially when comparing it to the 4s i see it's underperforming regardless of theoretically superior hardware. I found that i stopped doing all those things that made android my choice some time ago, like customization, LWPs and such. Also i need to know is it worth getting the iPad 4 over iPad 3 considering that i live i'll probably go for wifi only model and i live in a 3g only country so 4g isn't really an option. Tnx in advance

Having your own swimming pool used to be a sign that you had a lot of money to spare. These days, it's a lot more affordable and just about anyone can have a pool in one form or another. But buying your first pool can still be tricky. After all, the huge number of options means you can have the ideal pool for you, but you still have to find it! Let's take a quick look at what you need to know about buying a swimming pool for your home. It's really not all that difficult.
Above Ground Pools
Self assembled above ground pools are the least expensive choices. These come in a number of varieties and sizes. There are splasher pools that give you enough space to cool off, and extremely large pools that allow for a comfortable swim. Their price ranges vary widely, from low end inflatables (almost like a giant kids' pool) to four-foot deep, thirty-foot long luxury pools on the high end. Above ground pools often sacrifice aesthetics for price, unfortunately, but they're an inexpensive way to get a pool big enough to do a lap or two.
The higher end of the market also includes pools that are quite attractive on their own. Timber pools offer the beauty of wood, instead of flat plastic panels. These pools can end up being very expensive, but are a beautiful addition to every home. They can be dug into a sloping site for a partially in-ground effect, or dropped into raised decks and patios to create a sunken pool. You'll usually get the plumbing, pumps, and assembly tools with these types of pools, but if you'd like a pool heater, that'll need to be purchased separately.
Above ground pools have several advantages: mostly lower cost, the ability to avoid excavation, and easy assembly. However, an above ground pool can also take up a lot of ground space and may be an eyesore. Some neighborhoods even have rules against them. Check with your neighborhood association if this could be a concern.
In Ground Pools
In ground swimming pools are an old concept - versions of them date back to Ancient Rome. They have a much lower profile and can be a lot more durable than an above ground pool. They're also usually bigger and deeper, reducing the chance of feeling like you're in the shallow end or in a big bathtub. An in ground pool will often cost more and require more effort to put in than an above ground model, however - especially if you're going to do the labor yourself. That's worth taking into account when you do your shopping.
Block and liner pools or concrete are the most traditional variety. They're put in by digging the hole for the pool, laying a concrete block base, and then installing a waterproof liner. Some of these pools can even be done on your own, but most people will hire a contractor to get the work done. This is pricier, but it's also a lot faster, and you know the work's being done by professionals.
However, there are other options, as well. In ground pools are available in metal and plastic panel varieties that make putting in an in ground pool a lot like assembling an above ground model. Dig the hole, lay down a concrete pad for a base, then create the sides by clipping together panels. One piece fiberglass pool inserts are also available. They're placed right into the excavation and are quick and easy to use. Thermal panel pools are new on the market, but may help keep your in ground at a more comfortable temperature.
Indoor Pools
If you've got a lot of money to spare, and want to make the most of it, there's always the heated indoor pool. These are usually done in sprayed concrete, and can include all kinds of luxury options, including spa jets and more. They allow you to swim as much as you want, no matter how unpleasant the weather may be. They're also nearly impossible to put in yourself. If you aren't a contractor, stick to having this kind of swimming pool installed by a professional.
Pool Maintenance
If you're thinking about buying a swimming pool, you'll need to consider more than just the cost of buying and installing it. You'll also want to think about the cost and difficulty of maintaining your pool. This can vary according to the size of the pool, how much you use it, whether you cover it, and where you live. In warm areas, you can heat your pool with solar energy - just use a set of black panels to warm the water. In cooler areas, an electric heater will be necessary. This can drive up heating bills considerably.
Water treatment and pool cleaning will also be required. The expenses will vary, depending on how much debris your pool is likely to accumulate, and whether your area has hard or soft water. Larger pools are more difficult and expensive to clean, treat, and heat, of course. Remember that enclosures and covers can help reduce the money and effort you need to spend heating and cleaning your pool. There are all kinds of different enclosure and cover options on the market, ranging from big plastic bubbles and telescopic covers to permanent pool buildings that keep your pool semi-indoors.
Is a pool just what you and your family need? It could be! Do a little bit of research and think about your needs and your budget. That'll help you determine the ideal choice, and avoid a potentially expensive mistake. Learn all you can about the different types of pools, and what's permissible in your area. You'll get a great pool and a wonderful way to relax.

RAVENSWOOD - Red Devilette senior Taylor Youell has signed a tennis scholarship offer from the University of Charleston.
"It's wonderful to see a young lady who is very talented, coachable, and an extremely hard worker be rewarded for her dedication," said veteran coach Butch Varney. "During the summer, she will come to the courts and work for two hours plus on different parts of her game with Dave Crow, who is one of our local tennis instructors, and then go off and practice basketball."
Youell has made her mark in tennis at Ravenswood High School for the past three years.
Accomplishments she has achieved so far during her tenure include:
• 31-5 Singles record
• 33-11 Doubles record
• State Runner-up at the #3 Singles Position
• State Final 4 at the #2 Singles Position
• Regional Champion at #1 and #2 Doubles
• Regional Champion at #3 Singles
• Regional Runner-up at #2 Singles

The AEC business will see an increase in consolidated, super-firms with heightened focus on differentiating themselves in a competitive market. It will become important for firms to move beyond traditional offerings to include energy and water analyses as part of their conventional business. To this end, more large firms will acquire specialty firms and conduct mandatory training to expand the breadth of capabilities across their workforce
In 2012, building projects will become more complex, driven by performance requirements, particularly sustainable performance objectives. As a result, this will create a need for more multi-faceted construction systems, including an increase in fabricated building components based on digital processes. To accommodate this change, a new generation of "smart" building managers will emerge to take responsibility for handling these demanding, complex assets. These building managers will be accompanied by a new generation of digital-enabled fabricators who will be the intellectual engine of this change.
The rise in mobile devices and digital information cannot be ignored in 2012. This trend, which has asserted itself in every industry, will become increasingly important for the construction industry – specifically, project management and team communication. The rise in digital information will drive demands for better access and management of project information across the lifecycle and construction firms – and their subcontractors – will expect to access that information from anywhere, on any platform.
The owner-operator relationship will continue to evolve in the coming year, as success parameters for a project are expanded beyond "on-time" and "on-budget." First-year operating costs (i.e. energy and water) as well as predicted performance characteristics, such as hours of traffic congestion (for transit) or percentage daylight penetration (for buildings and factories) will be important factors to measure future success.

In preparation for the 2nd Annual Trashion Fashion Show, which will be held at 7 p.m. on Thursday, April 3, in the Rigas Family Theater in the Regina A. Quick Center for the Arts, Tread Lightly has hosted biweekly workshops for the past month to help designers with their eco-fashions.
The Trashion Fashion Show is part of the Recyclemania initiative on the St. Bonaventure University campus, and Tread Lightly uses it as a means to demonstrate that there are multiple ways to incorporate recycling into your daily life.
"It's built as a design competition," said Sean Conklin, assistant curator at the Quick Center. "Challenging participants to combine high fashion with environmental awareness in an effort to construct works that are both eco-friendly and eco-couture, we really see it as a fun and creative way to live a more sustainable life beyond simply sorting recyclables into buckets or bins."
There are roughly 15 participants this year, which almost doubles last year's contributors. All members of the campus community were invited to enter their designs, and various campus clubs and organizations have sponsored designs in efforts to support the recycling initiatives.
Adelaide Hahn, a sophomore sport studies major, is one of the Tread Lightly members who helped with the inaugural event last year. This year Hahn is a featured artist for the show. She will be sporting a Pinterest-inspired dress made out of recycled Pokémon cards.
"I love being part of this event," Hahn said. "I'm a science major, so I use this as a creative stress release."
Mandatory workshops included walk-throughs where designers and models could bring their designs for progress checks and to practice the show's sequence. Participants will be judged and have the opportunity to win titles such as Top Trashionista, Most Creative Use of Recyclables and the People's Choice.
The runway show is free and open to the public. For more information about the event, contact Sean Conklin at firstname.lastname@example.com or Sr. Suzanne Kush at firstname.lastname@example.com. Information about Recyclemania is available at www.sbu.edu/Recyclemania.
About the University: The nation's first Franciscan university, St. Bonaventure University cultivates graduates who are confident and creative communicators, collaborative leaders and team members, and innovative problem solvers who are respectful of themselves, others, and the diverse world around them. We are establishing pathways to internships, graduate schools and careers in the context of our renowned liberal arts tradition. Our students are becoming extraordinary.

Just: wow. Our admiration for what is the miracle of modern medicine grew exponentially this week when baby Audrina Cardenas, born last October with part of her heart on the outside of her body, left the hospital.
When her mother Ashley learned of the very rare and typically fatal condition 16 weeks into her pregnancy, she was given options like terminating the pregnancy then and there, or providing only "comfort care" while she watched her child die soon after birth. Known as ectopia cordis, Audrina's condition occurs in about eight of every 1 million babies, 90 percent of which are either stillborn or die within days of birth.
But there was a third option: a very difficult, often unsuccessful surgery to correct the condition, and doctors at Texas Children's Hospital thought what they were seeing on Ashley Cardenas' ultrasound looked promising. Only about a third of the heart was outside the body and the fetus did not appear to have any of the other congenital conditions that usually accompany the condition.
Thus the decision was made: The day after her birth on October 15, baby Audrina underwent a six-hour open-heart surgery performed by a team of cardiovascular, pediatric, and plastic surgeons at Texas Children's that involved reconstructing her chest cavity to make room for the protruding part of her heart.
Three months later, Audrina exited the hospital in a cleverly constructed pink chest shield to protect the vulnerable area—and matching pink bow on her head. For now she'll still need to be on oxygen and a feeding tube, and there will be more surgeries to correct some other relatively minor heart conditions. But thanks to an amazing team of surgeons, this little girl likely has birthday parties, report cards, and prom dresses in her future.

President Obama has made no secret of his disdain toward Kanye West's particular form of narcissism, and now he's included Kim Kardashian in his critique. Now Kim's mom, Kris Jenner, is firing back, calling her daughter the "hardest-working young lady in the world."
In a conversation on the economy with David Blum, the president said the lives of overexposed celebrities has distorted the American dream to only mean living bigger and louder.
"I do think what's shifted is a notion that the wealthier you are, the more conspicuous consumption you engage in," Obama said. "The more successful you are, the more society should stay out of your way as you pursue the bigger house or the fancier jet or the bigger yacht."
"Partly, I think, there also has been a shift in culture," he said. "We weren't exposed to things we didn't have in the same way kids these days are. There was not that window into the lifestyles of the rich and famous."
"Kids weren't monitoring every day what Kim Kardashian was wearing, or where Kanye West was going on vacation, and thinking that somehow that was the mark of success."
Jenner took offense to the implication that, in her interpretation Obama blamed her daughter for "influencing a generation of youngsters to be obsessed with wealth and celebrity."
"It's really great that people aspire to get a great job... but I wasn't aware that you could only set the bar so high and that we could only dream so big," Jenner said on her talk show, "Kris." "I was taught: Dream big, work hard and you could have whatever you wanted."
"I bet the president has some friends with 10,000-square-foot houses and you probably wouldn't mind going over there, Mr. President, while you were asking them to have a party for you when you were campaigning for dollars to run for president," Jenner continued.
"I find it so odd that he's picking on Kim Kardashian and Kanye West. Well, Kanye West, first of all, doesn't go on vacation. Ever," Jenner said. "And Kim Kardashian is the hardest-working young lady in the world. She never sleeps, she never stops, she never slows down and works so hard for what she's got."
Jenner also pointed to what she says what the president's criticism of West and Kardashian's new 10,000-square-foot house, which they bought in January and are reportedly rebuilding to a 14,000-square-foot Italian-style villa.
"I started thinking about her 10,000-square-foot house," Jenner said. "I thought, wow, her job affords her to live in a 10,000-square-foot house. And I think, if I'm not mistaken, that Mr. President's job affords him to live in a 55,000-square-foot house. So basically my house would fit in his entry."

This artwork is discounted because of a minor red signature ghost and tiny wrinkles.
If you are wondering, red ghost refers to a red shadow of the artist's red signature stamp. This is sometimes transfer from a previous painting which happens when the artist signs all of his work at the same time and piles up the paintings before the red ink is dry. It's more common than I would like, and it costs me a lot of money - but I am picky about quality, so my loss is your gain.

Gary's random little things about China:
So after traveling to China, you have just finished your first meal in a real Chinese restaurant.
But the bill comes, and the waiter forgot to bring everyone their fortune cookies!
Well, actually not...
You see, fortune cookies did not come from China (at least not directly).
One legend has it in the late 1800s or early 1900s, a Chinese man running a noodle making shop in San Francisco accidentally mixed a bunch of sugar in his dough, and didn't want to waste it. So he made cookies and stuck papers with people's fortunes on them as a novelty.
In the end, it's really the Chinese visitors to America that are confused when the waiter brings them a blob of sugary noodle dough with a piece of paper stuck in it.

Application for admission to the biology graduate program requires that you be admitted to the Ball State University Graduate School and that you submit the Department of Biology Masters Program Application Form, original transcripts from all previous graduate and undergraduate course work, three completed departmental recommendation forms.
The Department of Biology graduate committee begins reviewing applications for admission to our graduate program and applications for assistantships as early as February 1. If you want to be considered for an assistantship that provides a full tuition waiver (some fees still apply) and a stipend, you should do everything possible to complete your application by February 1. Learn more about assistantships.
We consider each student individually, based on academic history, research experience, aspirations, volunteer work, character, and other considerations. We do not have a set GRE score requirement, but a higher score will make you more competitive for an assistantship.
Formal faculty sponsorship of your application is important, especially in the process for granting assistantships. We strongly encourage you to learn about our faculty research interests, and read their most recent scholarly publications. You should contact (e-mail is probably best) faculty who share your research interests to determine if they would be willing and able to serve as your research advisor. You should be prepared to explain why you are interested in working with a particular faculty member. If the faculty member expresses a willingness to serve as your advisor, you should ask him or her to write a faculty advocacy letter and to put this letter in your application file.
A faculty member who wants you to work in his or her research program can promote your applications for admission and assistantship, increasing your chances of success for both. If you have questions about this process, contact Kemuel Badger.
