Environmental Engineering - Master of Science in Environmental Engineering
Environmental engineering at New Mexico State University provides unique educational and research opportunities at the graduate level in the fields of water quality, water treatment, water pollution control, wastewater treatment reclamation and reuse, industrial, hazardous and solid waste management, groundwater treatment, air pollution control; waste minimization and pollution prevention. Therefore, course offerings have been developed to emphasize basic engineering and scientific principles, as well as design and application of environmental engineering unit operations and processes. Special problem and thesis research are closely matched with faculty expertise and the programs and professional goals of the graduate students. Study and research programs are specifically designed for individual students, taking advantage of not only the program capabilities, but complementing activities of the university as a whole, the student's professional experience and work environment.
Graduate students satisfy degree requirements in environmental engineering by completing specific core course work. Course work in the graduate program includes:
- water and wastewater treatment,
- solid and hazardous waste systems design,
- environmental chemistry,
- environmental microbiology,
- environmental contaminant analysis,
- industrial pollution control,
- fate and transport of pollutants in engineered and natural systems and water quality in surface water and groundwater systems.
Additional topics of interest to the students are covered through special topics classes and by courses taught outside of the College of Engineering.
The MS program requires either a thesis or a non-thesis practice oriented experience. The non-thesis option is designed for students that are working full time in engineering practice, but is also available to other students interested in pursuing a non-thesis option. The thesis option consists of a minimum of 30 semester credit hours, including 6 credit hours of thesis. Students who are working full time in engineering practice may apply for the non-thesis option. This option consists of 30 semester credit hours of which up to 3 credit hours can be awarded for a professional engineering design experience and up to 6 credit hours can be awarded for an engineering practicum (ENVE 598 Special Research Programs). Transfer credit for courses taken elsewhere is evaluated on an individual basis. Up to six semester hours of graduate level courses taken may be used to satisfy MS degree requirements provided that the credits were not used toward another degree.
Required Curriculum
The graduate environmental engineering program of the Civil Engineering Department expects all MS and Ph.D. students to meet certain requirements in pursuit of an advanced degree. Some of these requirements are related to the quantity, level and quality of coursework. This Graduate Catalog details what is expected as a minimum for graduation, but it is up to the student and his/her advisor and graduate committee to determine the plan of study for the student. The student and his/her advisor will create this program of study in the first semester of graduate work.
Students desiring to work toward an advanced degree in environmental engineering must have completed undergraduate preparation similar to that required for a Bachelor of Science degree in an ABET accredited engineering program or must have adequate background, as determined by the graduate faculty of the program. The program administrator will approve exceptions to these requirements.
The environmental engineering faculty will form a committee for every entering student. The faculty will evaluate the student's record and determine which deficiencies and/or core courses, if any, are needed by the student. For all professional non-thesis programs, the department head will review the committee's decision. In order to provide consistency among plans of study for graduate students and to set a minimum set of core or pertinent courses, it is the policy of the graduate environmental engineering program that each graduate student will fulfill the following course requirements (or equivalent).

Every Sunday when J. Paul Slavens arrives at KERA headquarters in Dallas, the facility is largely dormant. He walks upstairs and through a dark hallway into a studio, where he turns on the lights and readies the soundboard. This particular evening, rain is backing up traffic on highways outside; the studio, however, provides a serene reprieve.
Slavens puts on headphones and loosens his vocal cords with a few animated yells before leaning into the microphone.
"Sunday night," he says, "time for The Paul Slavens Show."
Slavens is a storied character in North Texas. For years, he's been a familiar voice to those who tune into KXT-FM (91.7) in the weekend's waning hours. His show, which runs 8 to 10 p.m., hit the airwaves in 2009, and before that he held the same time slot on KERA-FM (90.1) as the voice behind 90.1 at Night.
Locals also know Slavens from his numerous bands, most notably jazz-rock group Ten Hands, which rose to popularity during Deep Ellum's live music heyday in the 1990s. For more than a decade, he's hosted a weekly gig at various venues (currently Dan's Silver Leaf in Denton) where he makes up songs on the spot based on topics suggested by the audience.
Slavens is so interwoven with the music community in D-FW, you'd think he's lived here all his life. But Slavens' story begins amid the corn and soybean fields in the Midwest, near where the Missouri and Big Sioux rivers meet.
Farm road to Denton
J. Paul Slavens was born on May 20, 1962, in Sioux City, Iowa, the son of a large-animal-veterinarian father and an artist mother. Wondering about his first name? He doesn't have one.
"My dad is J. Phil and my son is J. August," Slavens says. It's now a tradition, though he admits he's not sure how it began.
The farm in Nebraska where Slavens and his four siblings grew up was "like a movie," he says, with expansive pastures, a lush garden and big red barn. Some members of his family still live there.
Music was always important in the Slavens household. Even before he was old enough to play, his mother had a piano teacher come to their home on Saturdays. Each kid rotated between watching cartoons and taking a turn at the ivories. When Slavens' older sister stopped taking lessons, his mother contemplated canceling them altogether. But at 9 years old, Slavens wouldn't have it; he wanted his chance at musical greatness.
"I wanted to be a great composer," he says, like Chopin or Beethoven.
Slavens' passion for music would carry him through high school, where he joined the choir and band, and Morningside College in Sioux City, where he earned a degree in piano performance. While in college, he was also the piano accompanist to the school's trombone ensemble, which in 1983 traveled to North Texas State University (now UNT) in Denton for a convention. Slavens almost immediately fell in love.
"I saw Denton and heard some kids playing jazz and saw everything that was going on," he says. "I was like, 'Man, I gotta go there!'"
A year later, Slavens packed his Nissan pickup and headed south. He never looked back.
Onto the airwaves
Radio has been a fixture throughout Slavens' life. Growing up, he listened to classical stations and ones with show tunes. Broadcasts out of Chicago infiltrated the Midwest with soul music, and '70s pop dominated the dial.
So when Slavens joined a comedy troupe called Four Day Weekend in Fort Worth -- this was after Ten Hands had run its course -- he created a show that embodied the spirit of radio. The Texclectic Radio Hour and a Half was a stage production modeled after a radio show, which Slavens then hoped to edit into a segment for KERA.
The Texclectic Radio Hour and a Half never got picked up, but its creator did. In 2004, Slavens was hired to produce his own music show on Sunday nights, which he fondly calls "the worst slot in radio." Even after moving to KXT in 2009, Slavens competes with prime time football games, awards shows and HBO premieres. But he wouldn't have it any other way.
The Paul Slavens Show has cultivated a devout group of followers because the DJ crowd-sources most of the music by accepting suggestions on his blog. That makes for two hours of diverse jams with which Slavens hopes to derail fans' preconceived notions about what they like.
"A lot of other shows are trying to please a demographic all the time," he says. "What I want is a wider demographic and people who are willing to sit through something that they don't necessarily understand or like. It opens up the ears, it opens up the mind."
Looking forward
Throughout his years in radio, Slavens has watched the medium evolve to include streaming and satellite formats. He's seen AM and FM adapt.
While he doesn't make much of changes to bigger stations like the now-defunct Edge and KVIL -- "You shouldn't be surprised what the bottom line on a commercial radio station is," he says -- Slavens hopes radio's next evolution gets back to serving communities where the signals are based.
In 2010, President Barack Obama signed the Local Community Radio Act, which made more frequencies available for low-power FM radio stations. In Fort Worth, "The Pirate" KFTW (97.5) plays strictly music and programming from D-FW on its low-power FM frequency. Several other stations are in development locally, including KKAD-FM (95.7) in Dallas and KUZU-FM (92.9) in Denton, which will reach only a couple of miles beyond where they're located.
Slavens is on the board of directors for KUZU and says the goal is to make the station a reflection of Denton -- anyone who lives in the city can have a show. He hopes "DIY radio" becomes the next movement because it upholds a longstanding tradition of bringing communities together.
"The fact that physically and scientifically, you can pick up a radio and transmit it without wires to a whole bunch of people and give them a consistent experience or message, that's why it's very important radio doesn't stop," he says.
"There's something magical about knowing that other people are listening to the same thing you are."

BOYNE FALLS - Fire officials are continuing their investigation into the cause of a fire that destroyed a Hudson Township home Tuesday.
Hudson Township Fire Chief Shawn Bauman said his department was called to the Bernadette Sparks residents at 2285 Camp Ten road at about 6:15 p.m. to a report of a house on fire.
Bauman said Sparks had just returned home to find smoke in the attached garage. She went to a neighbor's to call 9-1-1 and by the time she returned to the home flames were coming through the roof.
Before even arriving on the scene, Bauman called for mutual aid from neighboring Boyne Valley Township Fire Department. He said one of that department's firefighters used his personal truck to plow the snow-choked driveway, allowing fire vehicles access to the scene.

One way to spruce up the exterior of your house inexpensively is to paint your front door. However, painting a door isn't as easy as it sounds.
As always, the effort spent getting ready for the project is more time consuming than the actual paint job. One of the first factors you need to think about is what color of paint and its sheen.
A handy application that will assist in choosing exterior or interior colors is the Paint My Place app. It lets you upload a picture of the space and virtually paint it to see what it will look like when you're done.
The next article gives some pointers for deciding on the sheen of paint for your door:
Painting Doors | The Family Handyman
While you're picking a paint color, also think about sheen: With a flat finish, scuff marks and handprints are hard to wipe away. High gloss is easy to clean but accentuates every little flaw, so your prep and paint job has to be perfect. Satin and semigloss are good compromise choices.
See the original post here: Painting Doors | The Family Handyman
It's much easier if you take it off the door frame and remove all the hardware, but not having your front door in place for the day can be a little disconcerting. You can always hang a drop cloth over the opening to keep weather and critters out.
Plan on getting a fairly early start to the day so that your door can completely dry before re-hanging it. Set up a couple sawhorses in a well-ventilated area like a garage to help keep Mother Nature from messing with your project.
You also need to remove all of the hardware so you don't end up with paint on the doorknob or hinges. Even though it takes a little time initially, you will be surprised at how much quicker the job will go compared to trying to carefully paint around the hinges and doorknob.
This video provides the needed materials and other tricks for painting a front door:
I have had to clean door hardware that was carelessly painted during a refinish, and rubbing alcohol worked to remove it. You can also soak it in hot water and it will eventually loosen and wipe off.
Another consideration is that exterior doors are made of different materials, so that will also change the process, especially the preparation. The main three types of exterior doors are
- Wood
- Steel
- Fiberglass
This post from the DIY Network shows the options for front doors and what material will work best for your home. Part of the decision making lies in your personal taste, but the durability and how weatherproof it is are also factors.
Although oil-based paint is tougher and can many times cover in one coat, the advantages of today's enamel paint far outweigh oil paint. One particular benefit of enamel acrylic paint is the ease of cleanup.
I love the color of the door in this tweet that links to a Better Homes & Gardens article about DIY front door ideas:
DIY Front Door Ideas https://t.co/lSkTdQ3aFMpic.twitter.com/cW1bwg4tlo
— BetterHomes&Gardens (@BHG) June 10, 2017
If you aren't sure what color or style of door is right for your home, you can go to your local home improvement or paint store. You can also contact a paint contractor in Denver to manage the project for you.

Florence, Italy // travel diary
Florence is one of the most beautiful places I've ever been. A city rich in history and beauty, where you could walk for hours and lose track of the days. My husband and I visited this magical city in Italy during September, which is such a great month for traveling. The weather was perfect and the city wasn't too crowded. We were only there for a day - which was definitely not enough! I could spend a big chunk of time here, if possible - fingers crossed, you never know what lays ahead :)

Stress Response: Savior to Killer-Stanford University- Neurobiologist Robert Sapolsky
This Neurobiologist explains well what stress is about: increase of blood pressure, etc to run for your life. When the zebra escapes it switches off its stress response. As human beings don't seem to be able to find our "off switch". This is psychological "non-sense" we stress about.
Sapolsky is also the author of the famous book "Why zebras don't get ulcers"
Thanks for the hint to Maria Martinez Alonso, clinical psychologist and psychotherapist, MBSR teacher

More New Search Engines, and an Updated Mac Pro!
Yeah, I am kinda crazy about new search engines. Yahoo!'s testing grounds, which is very similar to Google's, was launched into public beta on the 4th. The name? Alpha. In beta. Everywhere the logo is "Alpha (beta)". Confused yet?
To add to the confusion, they let you put in an additional search engine to search from, which would appear in a Netvibes-esque drag-and-droppable mini-window. They use a technology called OpenSearchRSS, which lets users search the search engine from an RSS feed or something…I don't really understand it. Another thing I don't understand is why it won't work with OpenSearchRSS, it always says there is an error. Oh well, that's why it's in beta.
Another search engine I recently discovered is one called AfterVote (Younanimous). It seems like the principal is very much the same as Url.com; you search Google, MSN, and Yahoo! then rank the results so other users searching for the same thing will see the site that was what you wanted sooner.
In other news, remember that modded Mac Pro with 8 cores I blogged about way back in November? Well, Apple has updated the Pro and it is now configurable with 8, yes 8, cores. The top configuration costs more than some cars, but hey, bragging rights for the neighborhood is good too.

High blood pressure can be prevented or controlled by diet and exercise, and doctors may recommend these lifestyle changes before prescribing medication.
The do's and don'ts when it comes to nutrition are simple. But if you're making significant changes or have specific medical issues, you may want to consider nutritional counseling from a licensed professional.
Limit your intake of salt.
Read labels, as many processed foods, ranging from potato chips to bacon to canned soups, can be very high in sodium. In fact, most sodium and salt comes from pre-packaged and restaurant food, especially fast food. Ideally, eat less than 2,300 mg of salt and sodium a day, and less than 1,500 mg if you already have high blood pressure. 1,500 mgs of sodium is about 3/4 of a teaspoon of salt.
To limit salt, read labels and cook for yourself. Use pepper and spices to flavor food instead of salt. Some condiments, like soy sauce, are very high in sodium.
Eat foods rich in potassium.
Foods like Swiss chard, potatoes, bananas, avocados and cantaloupe are high in potassium, which helps lower blood pressure and counters a salty diet (see the full list of potassium-rich foods). Note that taking a diuretic can lower potassium levels in the body.
Maintain a healthy weight.
High blood pressure is the health condition that most commonly affects men and women who are overweight. One study of young adults by researcher Yehonatan Sharabi at the National Institutes of Health found that a one-point rise in BMI increases chances of developing hypertension by 16 percent.
Limit your alcohol consumption and do not smoke.
Studies have shown that binge drinking can raise blood pressure up to 20 points. Limit alcohol to one serving a day. Smoking narrows blood vessels and forces blood to push harder through the arteries, thus raising blood pressure.

Digger Wasp Control
So spring has finally rolled around; the temperature is finally rising and the sun actually has started to show its face every once and awhile. However, spring is not all fun and good cheer. This is especially true for all of you out there with allergies. Furthermore, this is when all those different insects come out of hiding and make their presence known. Of those pesky insects, the most irritating and cumbersome are the wasps, more specifically the digger wasps. Often mistaken for bumble bees, the digger wasps sport bright black and yellow coats and match them with their more than fiery temperaments. Thus it is a good idea to get rid of digger wasps, through the process of digger wasp control, while you still have a chance.
How to get rid of Digger Wasps
The first method of digger wasp control deals with small scale infestations. Basically, if you have less than 50 holes, this is the method for you. This method involves the use of Deltamethrin dust- you probably havent heard of it before. This treatment is best served in the evening time, due to the fact that this is when most of the adult wasps will have returned to the nest. Ok, so you need to deliver the dust into the holes through the use of a hand duster. Make sure to insert an ample dose into each hole and when finished, plug them with a stopper. The stopper serves several purposes: (1) it keeps the wasps from escaping the toxic dust (2) it inhibits the dust from diffusing with the outside air and dramatically decreasing in concentration (3) it denotes which holes have already been treated. In tandem to this method, you may also find useful a can of Digger Wasp Freeze. This spray aerosol quickly kills the wasps and can be quite handy if one of the stopper fails and the escaping wasps are out for blood. So just be safe and keep a can with you, just in case.
Digger Wasp Control: Large Scale Operations
Well this is not the category you want to be in, but this is truly you, dont go moping to your mommy. Instead, pick your head up and lets get to business. Simply put, the dusting method will be too inefficient and costly for your situation. Instead, you will need to revert to digger wasp control granules. Basically, you can spread these small beads around your yard much like you would new grass seed. This is a long-term solution, as it will take time for the granules to seep into the soil and filter into the nests. Upon contact, these granules will turn toxic for the wasps, ultimately killing them. If you have been forced to resort to this method, do not be impatient. This process will take a long time and you will have to wait. In the meantime, you can win a few battles and fend the oncoming wasp population off with the selective use of digger wasp control dust. All in all, keep fighting the good fight.

Hi I have the similar problem when tried to grab the data insert into mysql UTF8
function stripslashes_deep($value){
$value = is_array($value) ?
array_map('stripslashes_deep', $value) :
return $value;
//json to php
$result = stripslashes_deep($_REQUEST['rawRequest']);
$obj = json_decode($result, true);
I debug the result and found this

and after json_decode
The $obj still be the same value
- JotForm SupportliyamAnswered on October 06, 2016 at 02:46 AM
Do you still have the data of the original request data and compare it instead if json_decode or other functions might have altered the data?
I believe if the obj var still returns the same value means that has become the source text and could not be changed to a different unicode value anymore.
Or do you mean that this is the only part that does not get changed?
Will look forward to your response.

It's time I conformed and joined the rest of the world in Moderationville.
You see for the past few months I've gone rogue and been living it up large in Excessconsumptionland. What a blast it's been, but my time there has resulted in some rather unfortunate consequences.
Not least of which is an extra chin, the shrinking of ALL my clothes and a lack of energy and patience.
It's just not possible to keep up with the demands of a 5, 7, 8 and work and keep your sanity when you're not taking care of yourself.
My default setting has been cranky and irritable. Sugar I believe is the main culprit. And a lack of sleep caused by other factors.
My adult beverage intake needs to be that of a person on Moderationville, only on the weekends or special occasions.
So I'm packing up and ditching Excessconsumptionland for good. It's time I become the rule, not the exception.
For example, most people don't….
1. Have 3 dim sims while they're waiting for their child to do their drama class and then still eat a huge dinner.
2. Buy a chocolate bar at the supermarket and eat it in between the checkout and the car!
3. Consume 3 coffees a day, all with almond milk, not water.
4. Tell themselves they deserve a glass of wine during the week after a particularly stressful day!
5. Buy an olive and cheese pull apart made to share and eat most of it by themselves!
6. Put lashings of butter on 3 slices for fresh bread and inhale, repeat every other day.
7. Cook toast, let it go cold, and then add visible layer of butter and put a smattering of Vegemite because that's what they did when at boarding school with a 13-year-old metabolism.
8. Find a piece of chocolate in the fridge and scoff without giving it a second thought.
9. During brunch out, order toast, eggs Benedict with hollandaise AND then finish their child's pancakes and bacon!
10. Fight their children for pork crackling!
Basically I have not refrained from eating ALL THE FOOD. And this my friends has led to shocking eating habits becoming part of my daily life. And unless I want to buy an ENTIRE new wardrobe then it's time to embrace moderation.
I love food, the taste, the smell and boy oh boy I'm one of these people who makes a disgrace of herself at a buffet. I'd give my third chin to be someone who doesn't get a thrill from fine fare, I'd be a lot healthier.
But alas, because this isn't the case I have to make a conscious effort to eat small portions every other hour or so. And as someone with high blood pressure, a 'chubby belly' as my son lovingly calls it, is dangerous for my health.
I'm outing myself and hope that anyone who knows me IRL will ask me how my new home in Moderationville is going.
And if they see me trying to pack up and head back to Excessconsumptionland they'll give me a stern talking to.
Meanwhile, how is your willpower?
Do you have to work hard every day not to eat ALL THE FOOD?
Or do you just see food as something you must eat in order to function?
What is your relationship with food?

The past year brought a lot of new changes into my life. But, the loudest of all these changes came in the form of me realizing that I did not was to become an educator like my mother and her parents. Instead I wanted to follow a different, crazier path. This path, this new journey, has led me into a new Major in Creative Writing and a double Minor in Marketing/Public Relations. What am I going to do with it? Where am I going to end up in two years once I finally walk across that stage at twenty-seven years old? Who knows? Maybe, I'll end up working for a business in helping create and design new ways to bring in as many buyers and customers as ever. Maybe I'll end up working with my good friend and fraternity brother, Gabe Miller, and we'll create the next big blockbuster film. Maybe I'll just continue to be happy with the fact that I live a good life, I love writing and my job, and I love the people that I've surrounded myself with.
Because that's what it's really all about, isn't it?
I've been reading a book for one of my upcoming classes, Why Now Is The Time To Crush It! Cash In On Your Passion by Gary Vaynerchuk. I've never been one for actually doing the assigned reading in my classes, but I'm telling you now guys, I haven't been able to put this book down. Any free time that I've gotten I continue to fall deeper and deeper into a pool of respect for this man and his passion and drive to not only succeed for himself, but for everyone that he sees potential in. Everything that he has spoken about in the book so far has hit home with me. Put your family first. Don't worry about what anyone else thinks about you. Follow YOUR passion, YOUR desires and make them a reality.
Don't think it's that easy? This guy grew up from nothing selling baseball cards without knowing anything about them. But you know what he did? He pushed himself and he learned everything that he could and then took that knowledge and turned it around to create one of the most well known wine stores/review channels. And he keeps pushing himself. Like, seriously, he doesn't quit pushing himself and as I continue reading his book I find that I want that. I'm hungry for that drive. But I feel something changing within me and I can't help but smile knowing that it's something amazing.
My writing might suck. It might be shit. Some people out there probably read this and think, "Jesus, why doesn't he just quit already?" But you know, I'm fine with that. Because it makes me happy and I know that I'm not terrible. Trust me, I've read terrible writing before. But anyone out there can feel this way, I promise you can. If you don't believe me, go check Gary out on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, you name it and I promise you, something will awaken within you. Something that you never thought you had.
I just want to say, thank you Mr. Vaynerchuk, for being someone who believes in everyone, even if we don't have the same passions or power that you have, you still believe we can achieve our own lot in life. I'm going to finish your book today, that's my goal, and when I do I'm sure I'll be just as inspired (if not more) as when I first started it.
Hope everyone out there is having a great Tuesday! Feel free to give the site a follow to keep up to date on my writing or to leave a comment about how you feel towards today's post.
Be sure to continue checking back as I will continue to write! Next time, I'll be reviewing the Alice Isn't Dead podcast from Night Vale Presents.

Wind power is a growing source of energy, providing six percent of U.S. electricity generation in 2016. That figure pales in comparison to natural gas (34 percent of energy production) and coal (30 percent), but among renewable sources, only hydropower plants produce more electricity than wind. America's energy giants have made big wind-power investments in recent years, building massive wind farms in the Western U.S. As a result, the U.S. is the world leader in wind energy, and the American Wind Energy Association estimates wind will supply 20 percent of the country's energy by 2030. Here are the largest wind farms in the U.S. in terms of megawatts capacity.
5. Horse Hollow Wind Energy Center
When this site near Abilene in west-central Texas came online at full capacity near the end of 2006, it was the most productive wind farm in the world. That it's now No. 5 in the U.S. shows how quickly wind power is emerging. Horse Hollow produces 736 megawatts of electricity, enough to power more than 220,000 homes. NextEra Energy Resources, which owns the facility, is the largest wind-power generator in North America.
4. Roscoe Wind Project
This 100,000-acre site in West Texas, which covers parts of four counties, cranks out 781.5 MW. Unlike other major wind projects launched by Fortune 200 energy corporations or equity investors, a Texas farmer helped organize the Roscoe project; several hundred local ranchers and farmers share in royalties from the revenue. The wind farm's unusual roots were featured in the 2010 documentary Carbon Nation. The farm is operated by E.ON Climate & Renewables, one of the world's leading wind-power companies.
3. Shepherds Flat Wind Farm
Completed in 2012, Shepherds Flat in northeastern Oregon has a capacity of 845 MW. Developer Caithness Energy faced a couple of big hurdles in getting the project built. Many conservatives and liberals alike balked that federal, state and local subsidies provided two-thirds of the $1.9 billion cost. They maintain the wind farm would have proceeded without any subsidies. On a bizarre note, the FAA and Defense Department initially halted the project for fears the 338 turbines could interfere with a U.S. Air Force radar installation in nearby Fossil, Ore.
2. Los Vientos Wind Farm
If you've ever visited the Great Plains, you know there's plenty of wind to be captured. So it's no surprise that three of the top five wind farms in the U.S. are located in Texas. Duke Energy's Los Vientos Wind Farm in Willacy and Starr counties boasts 426 turbines and a capacity of 900 MW.
1. Alta Wind Energy Center
This massive wind farm in Southern California's Tehachapi Mountains features 600 turbines with a combined capacity of 1,547 MW — two-thirds more capacity than the next biggest wind farm in the U.S. Owned by Terra-Gen Power, it's the second-biggest onshore wind farm in the world. Also known as the Mojave Wind Farm, construction began on the privately funded site in 2010. It's not to be confused with the nearby Tehachapi Pass Wind Farm, one of the country's first massive wind farms that dates to the early 1980s and is currently the sixth largest wind site in the country. Overall, the Tehachapi Pass turbines produce more wind power than any other region in the U.S.

Quotes and Interview with Seth Godin
"The number one way I found to attract people was to help them connect with their dreams." ~Seth Godin
"First of all, people give an unfair amount of credibility to someone who is standing on a stage or who is writing a blog or has written a book or otherwise put himself in front of them."
How to maintain high self esteem by Steve Pavlina
You can't become jealous if you maintain high self esteem.
If you begin to feel jealous or envious of others, do not try to control, manipulate, or negotiate with them to appease these feelings. That is a childish and ineffective approach. You will only encourage people to lie to you and hide things from you so they can avoid having to deal with your "Poor me… I'm not good enough… make me feel better about myself" script.
Instead, focus on setting and achieving your own goals. Start with the basics such as simple physical goals (like specific exercise targets) to restore a sense of self control, and then gradually build towards self mastery. Rebuild your sense of self-worth and confidence by asserting control over how you use your time and how you maintain your space. Restore order, cleanliness, and neatness to your home, your workplace, and your body. Create an environment that reinforces the belief that you're in control and that you're responsible.
The belief that you are not enough will simply attract proof of such. Prove to yourself that you are enough, not by seeking validation from others but by creating the evidence for yourself. Strive each day to grow towards your potential. If you do that, then others will tend to respect you more, and other high self esteem people will want to connect with you. Hence you will seldom have cause to feel jealous or alone; you will graduate from this problem and move on to more interesting challenges.
~ Steve Pavlina
Ignore everybody and 39 other keys to Creativity
Ignore Everybody: and 39 Other Keys to Creativity by Hugh MacLeod
This is a great book. Author pushes to hear your inner creative voice, be unique, and find your own DOOR.
Below are some quotes that affect and inspired me:
"If somebody in your industry is more successful than you, it's probably because he works harder at it than you. Sure, maybe he's more inherently talented, more adept at networking, but I don't consider that an excuse. Over time, that advantage counts for less and less. Which is why the world is full of highly talented, network-savvy, failed mediocrities."
"If your business plan depends on suddenly being "discovered" by some big shot, your plan will probably fail. Nobody suddenly discovers anything. Things are made slowly and in pain."
Accepting the Self Establishing Values through NLP
"Many people know what they want to have – few what they want to be."
I've tried to find my Core Values in the previous exercise.
Here are 32 questions how to prioritize and establish the Values. Looks very interesting. I will do this exercise next week, and post my results here.
Click and Ask yourself these questions
Quotations about passion. September.
I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious. ~Albert Einstein
If there is no passion in your life, then have you really lived? Find your passion, whatever it may be. Become it, and let it become you and you will find great things happen FOR you, TO you and BECAUSE of you. ~ T. Alan Armstrong
Do the one thing you think you cannot do. Fail at it. Try again. Do better the second time. The only people who never tumble are those who never mount the high wire. This is your moment. Own it. ~ Oprah Winfrey
Passion and purpose go hand in hand. When you discover your purpose, you will normally find it's something you're tremendously passionate about. ~ Steve Pavlina
Follow your passion, and success will follow you. ~ Arthur Buddhold
Develop a passion for learning. If you do, you will never cease to grow. ~ Anthony J. D'Angelo
Passion requires focused direction, and that direction must come from three other areas: your purpose, your talents, and your needs. ~ Steve Pavlina
The most beautiful make-up of a woman is passion. But cosmetics are easier to buy. ~ Yves Saint Laurent
Quotations. June
"Whether you think you can or think you can't, either way you are right" ~ Henry Ford
"Sleep very little, work very late, wake very early, and love and respect everyone and everything. Do great things for strangers, give more than you receive, be true to yourself and never want to be anyone else, always find the positive in life, and learn meditation it really helps …you find your true voice." ~ Patrick Hoelck (photographer)
"My real desire is to see people live in the modus of our time, to participate in the contemporary world, to release themselves from nostalgia, antiquated traditions, old rituals, meaningless kitsch, and that we be conscious and sensorially attuned to this world in this moment that we are alive." ~Karim Rashid
"If you can give your son or daughter only one gift, let it be enthusiasm." ~ Bruce Barton
"Don't give too much attention to what happens to you, but rather to what you can make happen." ~ Dragos Roua
"Example isn't another way to teach, it is the only way to teach" ~ Albert Einstein
"People only see what they are prepared to see." ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be."~ Abraham Lincoln
"Your own Self-realization is the greatest service you can render the world". ~ Arvind Devalia
How To Invest In Yourself (And Why) by Dragos Roua
Why Investing In Yourself?
We talked so far about "how to invest in yourself" but we didn't talk about the "why?". So, here we go: why investing in yourself?
Because, in the end, you're the only one controlling your reality. The more you invest in yourself, the more independence and power you gain. And the more independent you are, the faster you'll be able to cope with any change in your reality.
Quotations of the month. May 2010.
"Your most expensive advice is the free advice you receive from your financially struggling friends or relatives."~ Robert Kiyosaki.
"When your vocation becomes your vacation, there is no such thing as hard work." ~Jimmy Smith
"A woman is like a teabag. You never know how strong she is until you put her in hot water." ~Eleanor Roosevelt
My best advice: win little battles. Get in the habit of winning, of shipping, of having customers that can't live without you. Once you've demonstrated you know how to do the art, then go after the windmills. ~Seth Godin
"You can only become truly accomplished at something you love. Don't make money your goal. Instead, pursue the things you love doing, and
then do them so well that people can't take their eyes off you." ~ Maya Angelou
I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination. ~Jimmy Dean

Tens of thousands protested on Friday in front of President Hadi's house to demand the removal of former president Ali Abdullah Saleh's relatives from their key government and military positions, as including posts atop the Republican Guard and Central Security Forces.
Demonstrators took to the streets and promised to continue their protests until they had achieved their aims, even, as one of the demonstrators said, "if it took them seventy years." One protestor named Abdurrahman stated that they demanded the removal of Saleh's relatives and a restructuring of the army so that events such as the recent infiltration of the Interior Ministry are not repeated.
In a related matter, thousands of Houthis organized a protest march that filled the capital's streets. They called for the government to be brought down, saying that it is unable to guarantee a decent life for its citizens.
Protestors carried and repeated a number of slogans that concerned key Houthi issues.They also demanded an end to a pattern of "creating crises and fueling conflicts" in Yemen.

Sliding Scale
We use a sliding scale of $15-$50 for acupuncture treatments. There is no new patient fee.
You decide how much you can afford to pay. No income verification is required.
You decide each time how much you'd like to pay. This allows you to adjust the amount based on your current circumstances (cash flow, how many treatments you're getting, other variable expenses, etc.) without worrying about being able to pay for your acupuncture treatment. So for example, maybe you normally pay $20, but this week money's a little tighter or we've recommended you come in several days in a row to help your twisted ankle — pay $15 instead. We don't ask questions, we just give you acupuncture. 🙂
The price you pay does not affect the length of your treatment, the number of needles we use on you, or anything else other than our checking account (and yours!).
Anxiety Adjustment: For many people, thinking or talking about money can trigger anxiety. Having to decide what to pay each time causes some people to get a little surge of stress right before their treatment. Yuck! We don't want to make anyone anxious or stressed, we want to reduce anxiety and stress! If you get an anxiety surge when we ask how much you want to pay, we can skip it. Pick the price you'd like to pay each time, and we'll note it in your chart so we won't ask you again. If your circumstances change and you'd like to pay more or less in the future, you can do so at any time, just let us know.
We do not bill insurance. If we did, our prices would need to be higher, so this is not going to change.
If you have insurance that covers acupuncture, we would be happy to provide you with a receipt containing the proper billing code so that you can submit it for reimbursement on your own.
Cancellation Policy
If you need to cancel an appointment, please give us 24 hours notice so that there's time for someone else to take that appointment slot.
Appointments canceled with less than 24 hours notice will result in a $15 cancellation fee.
Baker's Dozen: Acupuncture works best when it happens regularly, and people are more likely to make time for acupuncture if there's a regular appointment already in their calendar. If you book a series of twelve recurring appointments once a week, we'll give you a 13th appointment for free that you can use yourself, give to a friend, or donate to someone who can't afford acupuncture. Note: you do not have to pay for all 12 appointments in advance.

MOSCOW, October 11 (RIA Novosti) – A Russian tourist was killed and at least 35 others injured after their tour bus with 42 on board overturned in northwest Thailand, the Russian Federal Tourism Agency reported Friday.
"As of 3:00 p.m. Moscow time [11:00 a.m. GMT], one person has died, five are in a coma and 16 have sustained serious injuries" among the 35 hurt, the agency said on its website, citing information from the Russian Consulate in Thailand.
The Bangkok Post reported that the bus was en route from Pattaya to Sai Yok district in the province of Kanchanaburi, when it overturned while descending a slope near Maha Wang Chang elephant village.
The Federal Tourism Agency, quoting the Russian Foreign Ministry, named the dead woman as Svetlana Simonenko, 35. She suffered a punctured lung and succumbed to her injuries on the way to a hospital in Sai Yok, the Bangkok Post said.
It gave a figure of 38 injured in addition to the woman killed.
The bus driver, who was taken into custody for further investigation, was identified as Kasian Karaket, 53.
This was the second accident in the region recently involving a bus carrying Russian tourists. Twenty six Russians were injured on August 9 when their bus crashed in Sai Yok.

Royal Sonesta and Dumb People
The trip to New Orleans continues to go well. The show really picked up today, which was great. It was a madhouse in the booth all day, which, again, is great. It also means we're exhausted. But no one is complaining.
We had a customer come in today that was a real piece of work. First, he asks me who is in charge. I answered that I was. He looks entirely unconvinced, as if maybe I misunderstood the question. So he asked it again. Again I told him I was in charge. He looked at me as if I am possibly the stupidest person he's ever met. So he turns to Paul and asks him who is in charge. Paul points at me. Now, I should explain here that Paul is not a Beretta employee. He works for HH Brown, the shoe company we have partnered with. He knows absolutely nothing about guns. But that doesn't stop the gentleman. He asks Paul some questions about our Armorer program. I answer. The guy turns and looks at me like I have just screamed curse words in French at him. He looks back at Paul and asks him about the Benelli Nova on the wall. Again, I answer him. (Paul gladly sat back and amused himself while I tried to get this guy to believe me.) Now this guy is an older man, probably in his late 60's, overweight, balding, and extremely fashion challenged. He had that great ensemble going of an oversized polo shirt (with his name embroidered in large letters across the stomach), khaki shorts, pasty white legs, knee high black dress socks, and white sneakers, carrying a huge canvas bag. Now, I hate to come right out and say this guy was sexist, but let's not beat around the bush. First he had a problem with me being in charge (which I am). Next he had a problem with me knowing anything about guns. And then he explains to me where Chicago is on a map, and how there are police there in a club they call the FOP. (Please do bear in mind that we are at the FOP show, and therefore, I am vaguely aware of what the FOP is and does.) He then explains to me that Beretta has armorers (um, duh), and that we sent them to visit the Chi-FOP. But then he stops and says, (and I quote), "Maybe I should be telling this to someone else." So he turns and tells the rest to Paul instead. He then pays the Beretta armorers a very nice compliment. Apparently, my femaleness makes me incapable of even hearing and understanding a compliment! Never in all my life have I been treated so horribly. The dumb guy didn't know he was rude or stupid. He honestly didn't think I could be in charge or know anything about my own company. I chose to take the high road and not correct his mistakes. But GRRR!!! Why are men so dumb?! Women would never be that stupid!
Just for fun, here is a picture of the Royal Sonesta Hotel we are staying in this week. Its a beautiful boutique hotel on Bourbon Street. New Orleans is finally starting to grow on me. I'm no longer afraid to walk on the streets in daylight alone. However, today I was wearing flip flops and stepped in something wet on the street. I may have to cut off my foot to get the nastiness off.

Destiny of the Sky Ch 14
Chapter 14
The elevator stopped and the group got out. Once again, it disappeared to wherever they had to reach. Cyn looked around and saw a shelter made out of silk and was halfway see through. "That what I think it is?"
"A gypsy's hideout?" Jisika guessed.
"It does not look like my grandparents house, though." Caz mentioned.
"You're grandparents are gypsies?" She asked, curious. "That would explain a lot about you."
"They were not gypsies. They studied them." He growled under his voice.
"This makes me think of a whore harem in Istanbul." Sori spoke up.
"Why do you say that?" Cyn asked.
"There are belly dancing chicks inside and some of the areas look like they're closed off. I can also see some really sexy dudes, giving the ladies something." She explained.
"How the hell?" He was confused.
"Look through the silk, Cyn. Since it's halfway see through, you can tell what it is." She couldn't help but grin.
"Well, the elevator is somewhere in there. Let's get going." He led the way, into the silk house, with Jisika and Caz following.
Sori stayed behind a little bit. "Why does this seem familiar? I swear I've seen this somewhere. Was it in a dream?" She asked herself, and then followed the others inside.
Inside the harem, shadows danced on the red and violet silks. They had an allure to them. The main parts of the shadows were the belly dancers, but there were also the shadows of other types of things. There were men with huge muscles, and a lot of the shadows were sexual acts. Sori looked around to find her friends. "Caz? Jisika? Cyn? Where are you, guys?"
A giant guy stopped her. "You shouldn't worry about your friends. Come spend some time with me, Little Faery." He smiled at her. He was the essence of perfection. His blonde hair was down to his muscular shoulders to match his clear blue eyes. His smile was perfect. She couldn't see anything that wasn't perfect about this guy. "I am named Kaain."
"Hmm. I would, but I'm married." She tried to push passed him.
He grabbed her by the arm, burning it. "I can't allow you to leave, little one." He pulled her to one of the rooms and threw her onto the bed. Once inside, he locked the door. "Now, I know you have special needs." He grinned and reached for her.
"Stay away from me." She kicked him in the mouth. <GUYS! HELP!> She screamed across the mind link.
<Just enjoy the fun, Sori.> Cyn told her.
<Yeah, Sori. This is not too bad. This chick is good at dancing.> Cazron answered.
<And anyways, Sori, you need to learn about sex one-way or another.> Jisika's mind spoke.
"Wait," Sori figured it out. "Lust!"
Kaain reached for her again. "It won't hurt, much."
"How fast are you?" She asked.
"Depends on how willing you are." He answered
- She thought to herself. I'm so going to regret this. "Come over here, ya big hunk." She pretended to be under his spell. "I want you."
"Finally." He climbed on the bed next to her. "How much do you want me?" he then jumped on top of her. Wherever he touched her skin, it burned deeply.
She willed the quiver on her back to give her something that would kill the incubus. An arrow appeared and she quickly stabbed it into Kaain's back.
"What!?" He quickly got away from her. "What is this?!" He started to disappear where the arrow was.
"I told you, I'm married." She growled and looked at her arm where it was first burned. "This is going to hurt later." The incubus was gone. "Gotta go find the others." She went to go find them.
She found Jisika first. Another incubus was seducing her friend. "Get away from Jisika." Sori drew an arrow and shot the incubus, before he could finish undressing Jisika. She ran over to help her friend. "Jisika, time to go. Play time is over."
"Wha?" She rubbed her forehead. "WHY AM I ALMOST NAKED?!" She screamed and tried to put her clothes back on.
"You were under the spell of an incubus." Sori handed Jisika some of her clothes.
"Ugh. I could have done something I regret." Jisika felt bad. "I think I failed Terence." She was talking about her boyfriend.
"I think you didn't do anything too bad." Sori tried to cheer her friend up. "We need to go find the others. They might have gone farther than you."
Jisika nodded. "The faster we find them, the better. I'll lead." She led Sori through the different rooms. They quickly found Cazron. He was almost totally naked. "NASTY! I DIDN'T WANT TO SEE THAT!" Jisika screamed.
"You know you want to join in, Jisika." Caz was under a succubus's spell. His face went into bliss, as the succubus went down on him, ready to give him pleasure.
Jisika growled and threw her scythe's blade and it sliced off the succubus's head.
Cazron yelled at the top of his lungs. "Jisika! That was too close for comfort!"
"Awww. Poor baby, get your clothes on. We gotta go find Cyn." She threw him his clothes.
"I'll go find him." Sori announced. "I'll let you two love birdies annoy each other." She ran off before they could hit her. She ran through four different rooms, "Cyn! Where are you?!" She called out.
"What do you want, brat?" Cyn called back. He was lying down on a bed.
Sori shot an arrow and killed the succubus. He stood up, and she was forced to cover her eyes. "Cyn! Put your damn clothes on!"
"Oh, sorry." He sounded weird. He threw on boxers and shorts. "You can look now."
Sori uncovered her eyes. He was covered in blood. "What happened?" She asked.
"She tried to force me into having sex." Cyn explained. "Can you do me a favor?"
"Whatcha need?" Sori was a little confused. "I would have thought you would have wanted to have sex."
"I don't need anyone to force me into it. Yeah, I wanted to have pleasure and everything, but sex isn't my thing. I tried to scratch her to get her off of me. Then I fell under her spell." He tried to tell her. "I need you to help me get this blood off. And to never repeat what I'm about to tell you."
"Sure." She tore off a piece of the bedding and handed it to him. He scrubbed and the blood wouldn't come off.
He sighed. "It's dried already."
"I'll get it off." She knew how to get rid of blood.
"Sori, I…" he saw her burns. "What the hell happened?! How'd you get burned?"
"Incubus. It was a male version of what you had. All of us have them, wherever the sex creature things touched our skin." She grinned. "Blood's all gone."
He quickly gave his sis a hug. "I was scared that something bad had truly got to you. But, I almost did something bad as well." That's all he would say. He let her go. "Let's find the elevator."
"Good idea." Sori grinned. <Hey, guys. Let's find the way out.>
<One problem with that.> Jisika answered. <The Incubi and the Succubae are guarding the elevator. They don't want us to leave.>
<Yeah, we can't go through without all of us here. We don't want to be forced to leave without you two.> Cazron added.
<We're on our way.> Cyn told them. He looked at his little sis. "Where were they?"
"Follow me." She instructed him towards where she had last left them. They were still there.
"Well, short distance attacks would probably be the best." Caz told the two new arrivals. They saw the elevator being guarding by eight incubi and succubae.
"Actually, if we're too close, they could get us into the spell." Cyn contradicted. "So long range attacks would be a better bet."
Jisika suggested, "If we can get them from all different angles, we'll have a better chance."
"The faster we split up, the faster we can get out of this lust hole." Sori grumbled. She hated it when people lusted and called it love, so this was a bad experience.
"Sori, you really hate sex, don't you?" Jisika nudged her friend's arm.
"Heh, whatever gave you that idea?" There was sarcasm laced all through Sori's voice. She stalked off to the left, ready to take her position on the opposite side of the others.
"Sourpuss." Jisika mumbled then went to the right.
"Wonder why…" Cazron asked himself quietly as he went to the left.
"I worry about Sori sometimes…" Cyn said to himself. <Five..>
<Four.> Jisika echoed.
<Three.> Cazron answered.
<Two.> Sori said.
<ONE!> They all yelled across the mental links.
From out of nowhere, an arrow flew and hit the nearest incubi in the back of the neck. The scythe's blade flew and sliced off another incubi's head. Caz's shield flew and went through one succubus and hit another. Two black wolves tore through two other succubae as Jisika's blade went through an incubi's neck.
The last incubi looked around. He was trying to find out where the different things were coming from. He then saw Sori aim an arrow at him. He was about to put her under his spell when she shot the arrow. It hit him right in the forehead.
They all went to the elevator. Jisika and Caz grabbed onto Sori's arm. "Why are you so close minded about this sex issue?"
"Let go of me." Sori's voice was below normal.
"Hey, Sori." Jisika had a hunch. "Spell 'fish'."
"F-I-S-H." Sori answered.
"Wrong answer, succubus." Jisika took her scythe and sliced off Sori's head.
"Jisika, what the hell is wrong with you?!" Cyn was a little frantic.
"Sori knows that fish is spelled, 'G-H-O-T-I'." She said in a matter-of-fact voice. "I bet she's still where she shot her arrow from."
Cyn went to go look. He found her, tied up, gagged and completely naked. "Sori, what have I told you? Houdini can make it out of this, you can't." He untied her and pulled the gag off. He then gave her clothes.
"Shut up, Cyn." She grumbled.
"You ok?" He was worried.
"You don't want to know." She answered lowly. She looked ashamed.
"Are you sure?" Cyn was curious.
"Drop it, Cyn." She did not want to discuss anything with anyone at this moment, especially her brother.
"Cyn, make sure it's her!" Jisika yelled.
"Sori, spell fish." Cyn sighed.
"G-H-O-T-I. Why?" Sori was confused beyond all reason.
"It's her!" He yelled to Jisika.
"What was that about?" Sori asked.
"There was a succubus posing as you. And Jisika knew it wasn't you because she misspelled 'fish'. You have a very strange friend." He grinned. "C'mon, brat. Let's go." He led the way back to the elevator.
"Sori, are you going to tell us why you hate anything sexual?" Jisika decided to ask.
"That's a secret that I will keep. No matter what." Sori answered softly. She climbed into the elevator. She was in a bad mood.
The others followed and went onto the elevator. "So that's lust down. All that is left is greed and envy. Bring it on." Jisika grinned and the elevator went down.
