Active carbon filters: Clean biogas improves uptime and engine life
Carbon filtering is a method of filtering that uses a piece of activated carbon to remove contaminants and impurities, utilising chemical adsorption.
Each piece of carbon is designed to provide a large section of surface area, in order to allow contaminants the most possible exposure to the filter media. One pound (450 g) of activated carbon contains a surface area of approximately 100 acres (40 Hectares).
This carbon is generally activated with a positive charge and is designed to attract negatively charged water contaminants. Carbon filtering is commonly used for water purification, but is also used in air purifiers.
Carbon filters are most effective at removing H2S, siloxanes and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from biogas derived from the anaerobic digestion process.
Typical particle sizes that can be removed by carbon filters range from 0.5 to 50 micrometres. The particle size will be used as part of the filter description. The efficacy of a carbon filter is also based upon the flow rate regulation. When the water is allowed to flow through the filter at a slower rate, the contaminants are exposed to the filter media for a longer amount of time.

Buddha Park – A sculpture park that contains over 200 Buddhist and Hindu statues. This park was built before the version across the river in Thailand, but both were designed by the same man – Bunleua Sulilat, a priest-shaman who integrated Buddhism and Hinduism.
So after visiting Buddha Park in Nong Khai, Thailand (read about that one here), just across the Mekong River from the Buddha Park in Vientiane, I thought it only appropriate to go and visit the Laotian offering to compare Buddhas. To be honest, I think that overall the Thai version was more impressive. Possibly because it was built about 20 years later. There were more statues, it was slightly bigger and some of them were pretty damn magnificent. However, the Laotian version did have a building which you can go inside that housed what appeared to be a collection of figures from the depths of hell. Prepare yourselves!
Buddha Park, Vientiane, Laos
And so once again, what follows is a collection of photos from the park with some ridiculous commentary…
The park is situated about 20km outside of the centre of Vientiane, so you'll need to find a way to get there. You can either opt for tuk tuk at a ridiculous cost of about 250,000 kip, local bus (about 15,000 kip I think. Relatively inexpensive anyway), or you can rent your own mode of transport such as bicycle or as you can see from the photo above – a sofa with an engine (pink horse riding helmet optional). Vroom vroom!
So this is an overview of what Buddha Park looks like. The entrance is on the bottom left. Look at all those statues!
Is that a large snake in your hands or are you just happy to see me?
Didn't I see this guy across the river in Thailand?
The many-faced, multiple armed Buddha statue makes another appearance on the Laotian side of the Mekong…this time with a bunch of skulls balanced on his/her/its head(s). Snazzy.
Somebody fetch this man a Mars Bar!
Mate, can you please just shut the f**k up, can you not see that we are trying to meditate? I don't know why I have to tell you this EVERY SINGLE DAY!
A woman emerging from the mouth of some kind of reptilian creature, holding what appears to be a miniature human being…a common sight in ancient Buddhist scriptures.
I didn't mean it, honest… Your beard looks awesome!
Hanuman makes a surprise appearance in Buddha Park, Vientiane. Looking pretty camp here, don't you think?
Another female character emerging from a reptilian/snake/lizard creature's mouth.
This guy told her that one of her arms was fat. Now he's dead. There is a moral to this story.
Is it a crocodile? Is it an alligator? Is it a dinosaur? Is it a lizard? F**k knows.
The snake charmer of Laos was unaware of the massive 7-headed snake about to eat him from behind. I hear he was getting pretty cocky about his snake charming skills so it serves him right really.
If you pull on my leg once more today, I swear I will go flip mode on yo' ass!
Say "what?" again! Go on! I dare you!
They sold my other leg on the black market. Swimming has never been the same since.
This statue is pretty lame in comparison to THIS version on the Thai side of the Mekong. Just sayin'.
Is it a Garuda? Is it Hanuman? Maybe it's Hanuda? Or Garunuman? Or maybe it's just some bloke wearing fairy wings on his way to a hen party. Not sure how a man got invited to a hen party though. The bride-to-be must be his BFF. Only possible explanation.
So I bought these new shoes last Thursday…they are like, sooooo fabulous! And these trousers, aren't they just to die for? Yes, I know, I am looking simply gorgeous aren't I? The last person who disagreed is dead. Here she is. You want her? I'm not sure what to do with her now. Maybe I will feed her to my shoes…
STOP! Put that sword down and talk to the hand.
It appears that a monkey is offering me a pair of underpants on a piece of wood. If I keep pretending to meditate, maybe he will go away.
Eugh….my legs….argh….they…have….melteeeddd…..eeuuuggh…
Please Sir! My legs are….meeeelllttiiiiinngg…..meeeeeeeeelllllllllttttttiiiiiinnnnnggggg…….aarrggghhh…..help…meeee….
Bloody white people…always getting in the background of my monkey/Buddha/elephant/underpants photos.
Shake those maracas like you mean it!So what I would consider the centrepiece (even though it's not strictly in the centre of the park), is this large sculpture which you can enter through the 'mouth' as seen in the following photos. When inside, you realise that you are no longer in Buddha Park, Vientiane, but instead have arrived safely in the depths of the place known commonly as 'Hell'. Evidence follows…
Open wide and pose for your photo!
Peace signs up! Sophie Segal from justagirlin.com enters the mouth of Hell. Check out her amazing adventures from around the globe right HERE!
The first level of hell. No sign of Cerberus though; maybe he's out eating some doggy biscuits.
The staircase inside allows you to move up and down levels.
Various statues in various conditions and states of disarray.
After I rip off my victim's heads, I usually lightly tickle them with the end of my nunchuks. I may look angry, but inside I am smiling because it's so much fun! Hehe!
A miniature person being chased up a tree by a hell weasel, the most feared of all of the hellish demons.
My right arm may be broken, but I promised you that head massage and I am a man of my word so let's get started.
…ok it's your turn next. Would you like the full 30 minute massage treatment or I can offer you a 10 minute rub for 10,000 kip. No happy endings this week though. I gotta charge you for that from now on as my landlord just raised my rent prices.
In light of recent circumstances, are you willing to take back what you said about my mullet?
The Holy Grail has finally been found. You can stop searching now.
This photo just makes me think of the song 'Surfin' USA' by the Beach Boys.
Sophie from 'JUST A GIRL IN…' becomes 'JUST A GIRL OUT…of the mouth of hell, Vientiane, Laos'.
A rather fitting evil-looking structure sits on top of the big hollowed out building that houses all sorts of weasel demons and dark, twisted sculptures.
On the way out of the park, it starts raining heavily and we are forced to shelter in a small souvenir shop which sells all kinds of random, bizarre things like…
Dragonball Z and porn DVDs. Go Buddhism!
Sophie displaying her DVD of choice.
Buddha appears in many forms…the little known one is abstract Buddha, who happens to be mates with…
Abstract Jesus.And to finish off our visit to Buddha Park, we settle for some delicious (that might be a bit of a generous explanation) noodle soup with pork and beef!
Patrick out…

|The BBC Plata will be making its first appearance in the Twin Ports today. It was built in 2005 to handle a wide variety of cargos. Two on-board cranes allow the vessel to pick up and discharge heavy cargo. At 452 feet, it is small enough to visit smaller ports and even move up rivers, making it an ideal vessel to deliver large, heavy equipment for construction projects. Having said that, the BBC Plata will be loading grain on this visit, and will likely drop anchor off the Duluth piers upon arrival this afternoon while it waits for the Canadian Miner to complete loading grain. Above, the Canadian Miner here on a visit in August, 2000. [Canadian Miner was sold for scrap in 2011.]

Labor pledges multicultural support
ACT Labor has unveiled a $4 million election policy to boost language and employment opportunities for migrants.
The plan includes $3 million in capital funding for new premises for the Tuggeranong Introductory English Centre at the Wanniassa Hills Primary School, to help non-English speaking students.
Community Services Minister Joy Burch says education is the key to future opportunities.
"We recognise mother-tongue is an important element of heritage and culture for many of our Canberrans," she said.
"But we know access to English is critical in ensuring education skills and employment opportunities in the future.
"We will create an Introductory English Centre for primary students to make sure they have the English skills to participate in mainstream education."
Ms Burch says her party would also set up a micro-credit program to benefit ethnic communities.
"Many people come here from other countries with skills and background, with some expertise, but with limited opportunity," she said.
"A micro program which has shown to be successful across the world gives them the opportunity to establish their own business or get into long term employment."
Labor would also establish a Multicultural Sports Program to bring communities together.
"We're looking to support a part-time coordinator in a community organisation, to bring communities together over sport," she said.
"It's about coming together with a shared interest."
There would also be funding of $100,000 to continue the National Multicultural Festival.

CLEARED cop Simon Harwood was accused of a string of violent attacks before he was put on trial for killing newspaper seller Ian Tomlinson.
Ian's family sobbed in court yesterday as Harwood – who hit him with his baton and shoved him to the ground during the 2009 G20 protests in London – was acquitted of his manslaughter.
An inquest had previously ruled that Ian was unlawfully killed.
Harwood, 45, claimed he used "reasonable force" on Ian, 47, who blundered into the anti-capitalist protest while trying to get home and was walking away from police lines when he was struck.
But the jury, who deliberated for 18 hours and 45 minutes, were never told about the previous claims of violence and brutality that have dogged his police career.
Harwood has faced 10 sets of allegations involving violence or other misconduct. He admitted during one investigation that he had gone into "red mist mode".
In 2000, when Harwood was with the Met, he got involved in a "road rage" incident while off duty.
The other driver said Harwood ran at him, knocked him over and unlawfully arrested him for assault. Harwood allegedly changed his own notes to justify his actions.
Police compensated the driver and brought a disciplinary case against Harwood. But he avoided it by retiring on health grounds, blaming a three-year-old motorbike injury.
Just three days later, he got a civilian job with the Met. And within two years, he was back in the police, this time with the Surrey force.
Harwood was only a year into his return when one of his own colleagues accused him of punching a suspect in the face and grabbing him by the throat during a raid.
Police chiefs cleared him over the incident. Then, incredibly, he was able to rejoin the Met – despite the
unresolved road rage case.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission yesterday said it was "simply staggering" that Harwood was allowed back. The Met admitted their vetting processes had failed.
The Met put Harwood in their elite riot squad, the Territorial Support Group, then had to deal with a string of complaints about his conduct.
It was claimed he had kneed a handcuffed man in the kidneys, racially abused a girl of 14 and twisted an AA patrolman's handcuffs after stopping his vehicle.
None of the complaints of violence were upheld, but Harwood admitted unlawfully searching the police computer for a man involved in a car accident with his wife.
He said he did it after a phone call with wife Helen sent him into "red mist mode".
At last year's inquest, the barrister for Ian's family described Harwood as a "rogue officer" who had
kept his job by "side-stepping" the disciplinary process.
Ian, who was an alcoholic, was moving away from riot police when he was hit and shoved by Harwood. He had been drinking on the day of the G20 protest.
He walked 75 yards, then collapsed. He died in hospital of internal injuries, leaving a wife and nine children and stepchildren.
Pathologist Freddy Patel, later suspended for mistakes in other cases, said Ian died a natural death from heart failure.
But the case was re-examined after a video of Harwood hitting Ian became public, and another pathologist ruled that the cause of death was internal bleeding from an injured liver.
Prosecutors initially refused to charge Harwood but changed their minds after the inquest.
Harwood told his trial at Southwark Crown Court he "got it wrong" when he decided Ian was blocking the street and had to be moved. But insisted his actions were justified in the chaos of the protest.
He rejected prosecution claims that he had lost his temper.
Harwood wept and hugged Helen yesterday as he was freed.
Ian's stepson Paul King called the verdict a "joke" and said the family would take action in the civil courts. And the IPCC ordered that Harwood become the first Met officer ever to face disciplinary proceedings in public.
They said: "Significant questions remain in connection with his actions on the day Ian Tomlinson died."
The hearing will start in September. Harwood has been suspended for three years – on full pay – during the case.

Saskatoon home sales were strong last week as 88 were reported within the city, which is 14 higher than the week previous. While the sales increased, the number of listings were not nearly as high, as 77 single family homes and 33 condominiums were reported within Saskatoon (110 total). This was the first week where we witnessed a slowing in the number of listings since March. In total there are 1368 listings remaining active on the Saskatoon MLS system, which is slightly less than the week before and much higher than the same period last year (1290). The average price of homes in Saskatoon dropped as more condominiums are being moved as Matthew and I can attest to as we sold a number of ours recently. For more information on the Saskatoon real estate market feel free to contact Matthew @ 381-3982 or Tyler @ 260-5129. Have a great week everyone!

We all find peace in different places and different ways. Sometimes it's just lying in the bathtub having a good soak while reading a favorite book.
Or maybe it's while lounging in a beach chair with waves crashing and a fruity drink with a straw, ready for drinking.
Or perhaps during a nice yoga session.
I don't get these kinds of peaceful moments in my life very often these days.
I do find some moments of peace though.
Especially if it's during the day, while The B Man is at school, Baby K is napping and I've given in to Little G's requests (they are MANY) to play Angry Birds on my phone…
Hey, I'll take it where I can get it.
Hope you all find some peace today….

Every year on June 21st, Bent Arrow celebrates National Aboriginal Day with hundreds of children from surrounding public schools. Activities are cultural, engaging, and, above all, fun!
Aboriginal Day 2012 Click Here For More Pictures
What is National Aboriginal Day?
National Aboriginal Day (french: Journée nationale des Autochtones) is a day recognizing and celebrating the cultures and contributions of the First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples of Canada. The day was first celebrated in 1996, after it was proclaimed that year by then Governor General of Canada Roméo LeBlanc, to be celebrated on June 21 annually. Most provincial jurisdictions, however, do not recognize it as a statutory holiday.
On June 21, 2012, Bent Arrow held a very special National Aboriginal Day in its new office at Parkdale School with its partners Boyle Street Community Services and Edmonton & Area Child & Family Services to officially launch Kahkiyaw. MC Wab Kinew [link to his site], over 180 school children, and special guests Lieutenant Governor Donald S. Ethell, MLA and Minister of Culture Heather Klimchuk, and Mayor Stephen Mandel attended. After the formal proceedings, all attendees joined in a giant round dance that filled the entire school yard. An open house for the public to get to know Bent Arrow and activities for children and cultural entertainment, not to mention lots of great food, followed. We hope to see you at the next Bent Arrow National Aboriginal Day Celebration!

POLICE investigating a horror car crash which killed a former women's rugby star are trying to trace two key witnesses to the tragedy.
Keri Holdsworth suffered serious head and back injuries after her Renault Clio was involved in a head-on collision with a BMW in Hartlepool in north-east England on June 13.
The 36-year-old, who lived in Slateford and worked as club physio for Watsonians rugby club, passed away the following day.
Cleveland Police want to speak with the driver of a light-coloured or white van which may have been using the Dalton junction at the time of the incident.
Officers also want to trace a military forces medic who stopped at the scene and assisted with first aid. He was driving a military ambulance vehicle.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Pc Mark Pearson from the Cleveland and Durham Specialist Operations Unit on the non-emergency 101 number, quoting reference number 100435.
Ms Holdsworth worked as a senior physiotherapist at the University of Edinburgh's Fitness Assessment and Sports Injuries Centre (FASIC) at the Pleasance.
She collected 15 caps for Scotland and competed in the Women's World Cup in 2010, while turning out for club side Watsonian Ladies.
The crash took place at around 4.30pm on the A19 northbound.

Since the discovery that there are (apparantly) none left in the UK I've turned to something else.....a white MC speedy!! Never in a million years did I think I'd even consider spending so much on a bag! Before I make a commitment to the speedy though, I would like hear all your comments about this bag Is the white high maintenance? Does the brass scratch easy? Is the buckle fastening annoying? Is it value for money? etc, etc. Also, what colour is the interior? Can't wait to hear everyones replies!! TIA

A large part of your success as an Amazon seller is determined by the quality and quantity of reviews your product receives.
Nothing earth shattering there, everyone knows that.
For me reviews not only the help in sales rankings, but more importantly provide "social proof" that other people are buying and liking the product.
Good reviews increase conversions and also sales rankings.
Think of your own buying habits. You're interested in an Amazon item and after an initial interest you read the reviews.
Most people don't read every review they just glance over a few and once they become somewhat similar they form an opinion if most reviewers like or don't like the product.
If favorable, they will then and only then buy the product.
Fine, but our job as merchants is to shift the discussion to our favor and not only create great products but make sure potential buyers see it in as favorable light as possible.
So what can you do to create that favorable light? Getting 4 and 5 star written reviews has always worked and always will. So keep on doing what you're doing to get those written reviews.
But what if you could get one review that mattered to your potential buyers more than any 20 written reviews.?
Whether something is true or not, human beings will automatically believe something if its written down. Thus the value of written reviews.
If humans see something live or even on video they will form an opinion that will be 10 times stronger than just the written word.
This is where the video review comes in. It seems every person in the world always has a camera (we know it as a smart phone) within 5 feet of them at all times.
One video review will easily stand out versus written reviews and you know every person considering your item will watch it.
How do you take advantage of this as a merchant?
Captain Obvious…Ask for video reviews!
Some will be glad to do it, some will not. But the problem is not their willingness, its that they won't know how to do it.
Here's where you can separate yourself from other merchants with a little knowledge.
Simply send these instructions and links to your customers and ask for video reviews and watch your sales increase.
1 Copy and paste this URL :
2 Replace "XXXXXXXXX" in the above URL with your item's ASIN number.
3 Hit enter. Make sure it goes to the review page. Copy and Paste this link somewhere and save it. This is the link you will send to your customers when asking them to do a video review
4 Remember to ask them to select the video tab on button number 3 .
5 Its that simple
Let me know how your results go with video reviews in the comments below.
Good luck!

Saving America's Shelter Pets!
by Alva Logsdon
In 2012 and 2013, I hosted 'pets alive' workshops, the first of their kind in North Texas, featuring some of the nation's leading no kill experts. I had no budget or staff, and hosting a workshop without either is a huge undertaking! The reason I took on this challenge is because I truly believe in the life-saving, open-admission animal shelter/community partnership and proven, successful programs that are at work in cities across the U.S. saving the lives of homeless, but adoptable, pets! Far too many pets are needlessly killed in animal shelters in Texas, and throughout the U.S. In many communities, these precious animals have no one to speak for them; they can't vote, they don't pay taxes, and they're considered property with no sentimental value. They deserve more … and they deserve to live! And thanks to the trail blazing no kill leaders, we can indeed save them.
Why No Kill Animal Sheltering Can Work in America
- The no kill equation is already working in several Texas communities and across the U.S. We do not have to reinvent the wheel; because of compassionate leaders that reject the concept that 'killing is the only solution' we now have a blueprint to follow. Because they refused to believe in the catch/hold/kill method of animal sheltering, they used innovation and research to create new programs that save lives. You'll see these programs at work in The Homeless Pet Project series! I am also committed to provided additional resources including marketing campaigns and strategies.
- While approximately 3-4 million pets are killed each year in taxpayer-funded animal shelters, we know that 17 million people will add a new pet to their family. With marketing, public relations, off-site adoptions, better shelter open-to-the-public hours, social media marketing, and pet adoption specials, the shelters pets can be found and adopted. Only 3-4 million pet owners, of that 17 million, are needed to zero out the kill statistics. That's achievable with the right mindset and programs!
- Advances in animal sheltering management such as community volunteer partnerships, playgroups, baby bottle programs, and disease control, are helping pets find adoptive homes – and more quickly. The goal of any animal shelter should be to increase their live release rate by owner returns, adoptions and working with rescues to release pets at the end of their stray hold.
- People care. Almost nightly here in North Texas, there is an animal story covered in the local news. Pet stories are also shared on national news and major news websites too. People donate, line up to adopt, and share the stories on social media. People love animals and do not want to see them suffer. Tell folks how to help and they will. The pet industry stats tell us that each year, pet owners spend in excess of $53 billion in caring for and spoiling their pets. Cute and funny pet videos dominate the internet. People care and they will help – if you allow them too. And why would any municipality not welcome a volunteer partnership with their community residents and taxpayers?
- It's more cost-effective to save shelter animals! When an animal shelter houses an animal for the mandatory stray hold, they must feed and care for the animal, then, they must fund the killing and disposal of the body. This means the shelter operates at a loss. That's a waste of taxpayer dollars; private businesses would fire the director who consistently operates at a loss. Yet municipalities do not hold their shelter directors to the same standards. Why? Why waste taxpayer dollars and kill adoptable pets? Pet adoption specials help pets find homes more quickly, sponsored pet programs zero out the loss, and partnerships with local rescue groups allows the pets to move out of the stressful, often full shelter environment and into a foster home quickly – freeing up kennel space for incoming pets.
With the remaining funds of the 2012 NTX workshop, I traveled around Texas interviewing no kill leaders on location in order to showcase these wonderful programs and inspiring people. I also filmed the 2013 workshop. These videos are now available, at no charge, here on Pawsitively Texas. This allows us to share with the world the programs that are saving lives!
There are several more awesome videos I wish to produce for The Homeless Pet Project, but I'm out of funds. A few of the videos I need to produce to continue on with the mission of the Homeless Pet Project are:
- How to manage an off-site adoption event – and how to implement in your community
- Two unique pet food community programs – and how to implement in your community
- Two low-cost spay/neuter programs – and how to implement in your community
- How a local running group exercises shelter pets – and how to implement in your community
- And some really cool pet adoption promotions
If you'd like to help fund these additional videos, please send me an email and/or purchase a t-shirt or two from my shop here. Please also tell others about my t-shirt shop featuring designs for dog love, cat servants 😉 and animal rescue advocates – the more tees sold, the more I can do to help homeless pets in need! I have more than 100 designs available and they are unique, available only at The Ultimutt Life! Thank you!!!
The Definition of No Kill Animal Sheltering
Don't toss the baby out with the bathwater! I see some people immediately reject the idea of no kill without taking the time to fully understand what it means and how to achieve it. There has also been misinformation spread resulting in confusion about the meaning of 'no kill'. For the record, it's not advocating the warehousing of animals or hoarding. That's cruelty. The definition of no kill that I believe in is the implementation of low-cost, often no cost, innovative life-saving programs with the commitment that killing is not the option. The sad commercials raise funds for the national organizations, but they don't provide much hope that there is a solution. But there is … and it's working in communities across the U.S. where 90% or more of the pets that enter in animals shelters are saved! Animal rescue is an imperfect mission wrought with challenges; there have been some failures along the way … but they are the exception and do not define no kill.
Here are some of the programs that are working – and the people building no kill communities!

Sput+Nik Gallery
Porto, Portugal
15th June – 28th July 2012
Curated by Steve Perfect & John McDowall
As part of AMBruno
The idea of 'skin deep' is commonplace, but some thinkers have sought to overturn this view of the superficial, and place significance, complexity, and profundity in the surface. Twenty four artists present work that engages with meaning captured in the surface. Artists exhibiting: Ana Efe, Cally Trench, Claire Deniau, Heidi Locher, Ingrid Jensen, Jane Grisewood, Joanna Hill, John McDowall, Judy Goldhill, Karen Blake, Katalin Hausel, Katherine Melancon, Louise Atkinson, Lilian Igbinosun, Madi Acharya-Baskerville, Manya Donaque, Marco Cali, Mary Yacoob, Philip Lee, Yaron Lapid, Sharon Kivland, Sophie Loss, Steve Perfect, Tim Riley and Georgia Elizey.
Visit http://sput-e-nik.blogspot.co.uk and http://am-bruno.blogspot.co.uk for more info.
I've been involved with AM Bruno properly now since last September, but I've gained so much from it that it feels a lot longer than that. My recent involvement has allowed me to focus more on my magazine collages as, although AM Bruno is a collective devoted primarily to showcasing artist books, its practitioners span a range of media and the exhibitions they produce often have a wider focus.
As part of this exhibition I will be showing two A3 works from a series of collages created from body parts cut from magazines. Through creating new images from magazine source material, the work aims the subvert the intended message and nature of the medium.

1. Well guys usually like a bit of flirting and you can also make a guy turned on by a bit of touching/kissing etc but if you want to do it without touching you can just flirt or talk dirty it pretty much like the same as a girl but just different
2. If a guy doesn't tell you he likes you it can or could be fairly obvious if he talks to you differently to his other mates who are girls or if he texts you asks you questions you wouldn't expect from a normal friend eg. sexual questions, flirting, calling you names like babe or hun? I don't know all guys are different but sometimes it could be a giveaway
3. Guys usually go wild for low cut clothing, sexy stuff that shows off what you have

Petra is a must-see before you die, it's listed in 1,000 Places to See Before You Die and as one of Smithsonian Magazine's 28 Places to See Before You Die. With the proliferation of life lists and the popularity of bucket lists there seems to be one consensus and that is none of them would be complete without Petra. However, if you're going to die soon I wouldn't rush off to Jordan. Petra is an incredible sight, but it isn't a must-see now.
The view of the Treasury from the Siq is one of the highlights of a visit to Petra
Petra didn't become a UNESCO World Heritage sight for no reason, it offers fascinating history and stands as one of the best examples of well preserved ancient cities in the world. The surrounding desert is breathtaking and the walk through the Siq to the Treasury is unforgettable.
The monastery is the second attraction after the Treasury and now you have seen it all.
I could make a list of all the places that you should visit before Petra, many of which don't even make the urgent "before you die" lists. Versailles in France, the Serengeti in Africa, Shwedagon Paya in Myanmar and Angkor Wat all deserve a visit before Petra, actually, even these "non-wonders" are better; the caves in Datong, China, the goat market in Nizwa, Oman or the caves at Ajanta and Ellora in India. However, I recognize my must-see-before-I-die-sights are different than the next persons so instead I will list my grievances about Petra:
1. The cost for admission is astronomical in comparison to almost every other world wonder. For example, The Taj Mahal in India will set you back 13 USD, the Great Wall of China will only cost you 7 USD, the Eiffel Tower is 15 USD and the Louvre is only 11 USD. While the entry fee for Petra is a staggering 50 JD, about 70 USD!
Vendor stalls encroaching on the Urn Tombs in Petra, not only do they ruin my photos, but the sales people harass me to buy things I don't want!
I wouldn't have a problem with the price if I knew the money was going to restoration, protection, and signage. The problem is that it doesn't. It doesn't go to provide you bathrooms…you have to pay for those on top of admission. It doesn't go for signage…there isn't any. It doesn't go to giving visitors a good experience…they allow vendors to set up wherever they please, often in the best photo spots, to harass visitors. Where does the money go?
The only signage within Petra is for the cafes and tourist vendors to hawk their wares.
2. The lack of information on site is disappointing to say the least. I understand not everyone is an independent traveler, most people visit Petra as part of a tour, but I was shocked to find that not a single monument was labeled and no map is provided. Petra has no visitor center and the museum within the grounds gives little insight into the collection of rocks and photographs.
3. Petra is not easy to get to, again many people visit on tours, however if you are an independent traveler Petra is not very visitor friendly. There is only one bus a day from Amman at 6:00 am, which drops you off far from the sight requiring a taxi to get to a hotel. Being that Petra is the reason people go to Jordan, it seems that providing transport to the attraction would be prudent in expanding their tourism industry.
Now that my grievances have been aired I have to say that the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Petra is beautiful. The monuments have stood the test of time, dating back to as early as 312 BC. The Treasury and the Monastery are incredible showcases of the unique rock-cut architecture that makes Petra so special. However, with the current unsustainable tourism and poor management maybe I should suggest you visit this sooner rather than later as it may not be around much longer.

I think I'd have a similar reaction–how disappointing.
Dec 21, 2012
Thanks. At least, someone feeling the same way. People always give me a weird look when I say I was disappointed with Petra or the Dead Sea (same thing, why don't they create a shuttle to the beaches, where does the beach entrance fee go? Certainly not to cleaning and decent showers) :)

December 23rd, 2012 at 2:13 PM
Always nice to know that you're not the only one. I didn't mean to be a complainer, but I really do think that the Petra site is in danger from vendors that carve shelves for their merchandise into the desert rock and litter with no one cleaning up after them. I do hope that the site improves their oversight and that the entrance fee goes to support restoration efforts.

I do hope so to. Here's the really short article that I wrote on Petra with a link to your post. I will write a longer one soon with my own reasons why I was disappointed. http://www.yallabye.eu/en/petra/ :)

Intuition – the inner spiritual guide
Intuition is not just a feeling, a vague hunch, but a subtle thought or feeling that is difficult to catch at first but has a feeling of authority or clarity or surprise about it. It has a different quality about it from our usual thoughts and emotions. Usually intuition is not recognised in the midst of the noise of daily inner chatter. It is most likely to be first noticed at a time of quiet and calm, when the usual chatter has abated enough for subtler thoughts and feelings to become noticed.
It is accompanied by a sense of possibility or guidance. This feeling/thought then needs to be nurtured or investigated or just left sitting until it reveals itself further. The fact of noticing these intuitions is the first step in getting to know and trust them. I find intuitions to be very specific and personal. For instance, two thoughts might come into your head at the same time and you do not at first see the connection between them but in paying attention to them they reveal an insight or suggest some new possibility.
Or a thought arises, seemingly out of the blue. Now the question is where did it come from and why?
What am I being prompted to notice?
The thing I find about intuitions is to leave them open and to also take them seriously. Have the attitude of "What am I being shown here"? More will be revealed if you are on the alert for it.
Intuition means tuition, guidance from within.
Intuition is the "language" of The Self. It is your direct communication with your Self.
Dreams come to us through intuition. Learn to read them. They come to us in symbolic language. Try to decipher what different dream symbols mean to you. I have found them to be a great source of guidance and information about what was happening to me in the deeper reaches of the psyche.
Practice any creative activity you like. Creativity is closely connected to intuition and creative activities helps open the channel of intuition in you.
Spend some time alone, without the distractions of tv or music or reading. Let silence be part of your daily life, even for short periods.
Intuition is always trying to get our attention, but we have to make room for it and create the conditions in which it is likely to be noticed.
Like most things in life, the more you pay attention to it the more it reveals to you. Once having recognised it, it became my best teacher, always specific and pertinent to the immediate situation.
It is truly the great spiritual gift.

What do people think of when they hear your name? What qualities come to mind? How can they count on your contribution or input?
I realize you may not have ever really thought about these questions. They are critical for today's world of work where professionals need to be an authority in their area of specialty.
Most professionals are not aware that everyone has a personal brand. It is not the same as brand Nike or Starbucks, but there are similarities. To position yourself securely in your career for the present and future, you need to devote time and energy to purposely developing and communicating with clarity your authentic personal brand.
What do you want to be known for? What differentiates you from everyone else who might be in a similar position or have a similar background? What is your unique flavor? What value to you bring or create in your work?
You may be thinking there are hundreds and maybe even thousands of other dietitians, culinary gurus, or food specialists that offer similar services, specialties and processes as you do. No worries. You are truly different, unique and gifted.
Often your personal brand attributes are found in 'how' you accomplish things. How do you solve problems or prevent them or inspire others in order to get the work accomplished? How do you attack a huge workload with ease, get projects done on budget, on time? You may work with others in a similar position to yours or offer similar services, but the 'how' you deliver and 'show up' in your interactions will be significantly different from others.
Once you have identified your personal brand attributes, combine them with your professional passion – helping others lead healthy, fulfilled lives through food, nutrition and culinary avenues. Throw in a dollop of core values and you have your personal brand statement, your unique flavor in your career.
My three brand attributes are:
- Make it Yours – guiding others to incorporate best practices
- Pioneering – putting new ideas into action
- Inspiring – lighting a fire under others to accomplish their goals
My unique flavor (personal branding statement) is: I help food, nutrition and culinary professionals attract more ideal clients, patients, and job offers through leveraging their strengths and identifying their unique flavor in the new world of work today.
What is your unique flavor? I would be honored to help you discover and communicate your authentic personal brand. Contact me if you want to get started on discovering your unique flavor.

House Cleansing Guide
Cleansing can be a complicated subject, so I've compiled an easy to use list of ways and methods to give your house a good cleansing.
How to Cleanse
Cleansing should always begin with cleaning. Since cleansing is a cleaning of the spirit, it makes little sense to cleanse a physical dirty place. If you have good protections in place, and use a few herbs or incense when you clean, that is often all you need to do for most of the year.
Where you go in and out, so do spirits and energy. Make sure your doorways are clean, well maintained and unobstructed. Obstructions in the thresholds can prevent the free movement of energy, resulting in stagnating energy in the room or household.
Again, where there is a space, there go spirits and energy. Your window should also be clean, well maintained, and unobstructed. Open them regularly to let fresh energy and fresh air in.
You can use a simple window wash to give it not only a really nice streak free shine, but also lends in protective qualities.
Simply make a mix of four parts warm water to one part malt vinegar, and wash the window. Use a dry cloth to immediately dry it and a second drier cloth to buff.
Spirits can often come through mirrors. I often cover my mirrors, or lay them flat when they aren't in use, just to prevent anything coming through.
I also wipe them over with a mix of water and a few drops of an essential oil like lavender
or rosemary, or a touch of the vinegar window wash.
If this is impractical, you can also use a sigil. If you don't want it to show, write it on with blessed water or oil. You can create a sigil, or use a pentacle or protective rune.
You can also do this with your windows, too!
Floors and Walls
If your floor and wall surface allows it, you can mix protective herbs and essential oils into your water and wash with it. Check manufacturer's' instructions first!
Good herbs/oils to use are lavender, rosemary, grapefruit or bergamot
Smoke and Air
You can burn herbal sticks like sage, lavender or rosemary to cleanse the air. Incense and scented candles work as well.
If you can't have smoke, because of allergies, you can use something like a fan to stimulate the air. A feather fan is best, but I've had great results using a Victorian style fabric one.
In a pinch, you can also turn your broom upside down and use that, and in a real pinch I have used a (clean!) T Shirt to stimulate the air.
If you can't have smoke because you're living in rented accommodation or similar reasons, you can use a spray bottle containing water and a few drops of essential oils.
You can literally sweep the bad energy with a broom! You can use the same modern broom you'd use for sweeping, or you can buy a special ritual one. Obviously, one built with protective herbs and woods will be better, but you can get more than decent results with a plastic one.
I use an old Hallowe'en one that I've decorated. I'm cheap like that.
Black Salt and Eggs
Black Salt and eggs work in the same way. They are both energetic 'vacuum cleaners'. They suck up all the negative energy in an area and store it. You can leave each of them for up to a week or if they feel or smell 'off' you need to dispose of them immediately.
Both of them are kinda big job cleansers – unless there's a serious imbalance or a spirit incident somewhere, you shouldn't need to use these more than three or four times a year.
For that reason, I sell small and larger bottles of Black Salt in my shop. Buying in bulk gets you a better deal, as always. 🙂
Sound is a wonderful cleanser. Simply by clapping in an area you can dispel negative energies.
Singing is another great way, but if you have a bell or a singing bowl that's good as well.
Bells are especially good for banishing spirits and curses, you can see more about that in this post here.
Each time you cleanse a space, it's a good time to cleanse the crystals within in, too. That way you don't forget!
Crystals that are good for cleansing spaces or dispelling negative energies are black tourmaline, quartz, amethyst and jade.
Salt Lamps
Salt lamps are a cool way to have your space cleansed on autopilot. However, there's a trick to doing it that most people don't realise.
Salt sucks in ALL types of energies. This is why Black Salt has a particular mixture and recipe, so that it only sucks and holds negative energies. Pure salt as in a salt lamp or tealight holder, will suck in everything. This is why they are great for bedrooms; they are naturally so calming and relaxing.
However, in a working room or an altar, that can reduce your concentration, energy or the power of your spells. So, you want to program the salt lamp to hold only negative or unwanted energies, and release them to you at a later date.
You do that with sigils.
Create a sigil in your usual fashion, stating that you wish the lamp to suck in and hold negative energies, transmuting them into positive or useful energies, and then release them to you only when asked.
Draw it on the bottom on the lamp. I drew mine on with lip liner so it didn't damage or stain the lamp. Charge your sigil, and you're on your way to a near permanently cleansed space.

Pills for Back or Neck Pain Are a Heart Concern.
There is a time and place for pain medication. None is without risk. Sometimes, the risk is small. New research shows that even the simple NSAID medications carry a new risk. NSAIDS are the common over the counter medications like acetaminophen (Tylenol), and ibuprofen (Advil). These medications are commonly used but new research shows that they are not as safe as we once thought. Life is about risk management. If we can get pain relief with as much risk to our body, we should seek those options.
The study, published July 4, 2011 in the British Medical Journal, examined the risk of atrial fibrillation or flutter associated with NSAID use. It included 32 602 patients diagnosed with atrial fibrillation or flutter in Northern Denmark between 1999–2008 and 325 918 age- and gender-matched controls selected from the source population. Schmidt, a junior research fellow in the department of clinical epidemiology, said that a previous study had suggested that traditional NSAIDs were associated with an increased risk of atrial fibrillation in long-term users, and that one meta-analysis had indicated that COX-2 inhibitors, in particular rofecoxib (Vioxx, Merck & Co), also could be associated with cardiac arrhythmias, but no data specifically on atrial fibrillation were available before now.
Compared with controls who were not treated with the drugs, current use of nonselective NSAIDs was associated with an adjusted 17% increased risk of developing atrial fibrillation or flutter (incidence rate ratio [IRR] 1.17; 95% CI 1.10–1.24). Current use of COX-2 inhibitors was associated with a slightly higher risk of atrial fibrillation or flutter (IRR 1.27; 95% CI 1.20–1.34).
New use appeared to be associated with the highest risk of developing atrial fibrillation or flutter. For those who filled a first prescription for an NSAID or COX-2 inhibitor in the previous two months, there was a statistically significant 46% and 71% increased risk of atrial fibrillation/flutter, respectively, compared with controls not treated with the drugs.
What does this mean for the average consumer? It means see your chiropractor first when you have pain! This new research points out risk to your heart when you take these pills. A study from 1994 clearly shows risk to the kidneys from the same pills. That's right, way back in '94 we knew about the long term risks.
There is a time and place for the pills. But they are not supposed to be the first line treatment, and absolutely, not the only treatment for back or neck pain.

The campus bookstore is now offering Oswego State students the option of renting their textbooks for the semester.
College Book Store Director Susan Raby said the renting of textbooks began as a trial period the Fall semester and was extended following positive results.
Not only will the option of renting books be available to students during the spring and fall semesters, but it will also be available to students during summer and winter sessions. This extends opportunities for students to save money on their expensive textbook purchases.
The rental program is flexible with how long students wish to rent books. However, students mustcommit to how long they plan on keeping the rental prior to receiving the textbook; rental extensions are available.
"What's great is that you can set your terms," Raby said. "If you say you don't want to buy a book, it gets down to the fact that you can rent it for a short period of time."
Books received by students are generally used, but are in good condition. If a student receives a textbook that is damaged, they have the option of getting a replacement copy, free of charge. Students also have the option of paying for the book if they decide to.
Students will be fined if they do not return their textbooks by the assigned deadline.
Positive feedback has encouraged the book store to continue the program for the foreseable future.

Nani's trickery and Berbatov's work ethic inspires United to crucial win
Manchester Utd 3-1 Tottenham: Observations
Nani and Berbatov aren't too familiar with praise. They don't get it often. There is a reason for that, Nani only started to play consistently down those flanks at the turn of the year. And he deserves the plaudits he's been receiving in the past few months because he has never been so devastating down the channels. Berbatov, for all the criticism, has at least (well in my eyes, that is) banished the 'lazy' tag. Of course it hasn't been raining goals for the Bulgarian, but his impact on the pitch is, and has been, underrated.
While Berbatov's commitment and hard work was a delight to watch, it was Nani who was sublime and his reward for an excellent performance was a goal sandwiched either side of Ryan Giggs' brace of penalties. For all the praise that can be heaped on Nani and Berbatov, this wasn't a great game by any means. A few individuals, Spurs' Ledley King included, shone on a glorious day but the match was lacking somewhat.
The first half was dreadful and little happened. King's block on Berbatov's shot was the best we saw in the first 45, the half lacking any real flow and fluidity and you could draw many parallels to the Manchester Derby last week. After the interval, things substantially improved and four goals were scored as a result of a more open game where United largely dominated.
Dimitar Berbatov came close with a header moments before he had cleverly set up Patrice Evra with a backheel, and the Frenchman was then tripped by Benoît Assou-Ekotto and ref Andre Marriner correctly pointed to the spot. Giggs duly dispatched and United had led deservedly after some relentless pressure. That was the Welshman's first ever penalty for United, quite remarkable considering he's scored in the every one of his last 18 Premier League seasons. Spurs were on the back foot, their only real stand out player being Ledley King. And quite fittingly, in front of Fabio Capello's no.2 Franco Baldini, he scored the equalising goal. It was a terrific header, although question marks will be raised on Rafael's failure to clear on the post.
Just when Spurs had begun to settle, Nani had once again shifted the tie into United's favour, his delicate chip a reward for a fantastic individual performance. And a solo run minutes later brought about another foul in the box, and another penalty kick. Giggs went right this time, but Gomes' despairing dive could not deny the third and winning goal.
This wasn't classic Manchester United by any means but definitely the team are starting to gel without the services of Wayne Rooney. Darren Fletcher and Paul Scholes controlled the game from the centre and Berbatov and Nani proved difficult to handle for the Spurs back four. This victory cranks up the pressure on Chelsea and who knows, maybe a 19th title will be secured come May.
Ratings: Van der Sar 7; Rafael 8, Vidic 9, Evans 8, Evra 7; Fletcher 8, Nani 9*, Scholes 8, Giggs 8; Valencia 6; Berbatov 8
One response to "Nani's trickery and Berbatov's work ethic inspires United to crucial win"
Hakan says :
Who would have thought a few months ago that Berbatov's work ethic and Nani's confidence would win us a crucial game? Brilliant!

Here's an Unanswerable Question
November 15th, 2010 | by Nathan | Published in Uncategorized | 3 Comments
Two kids or three?
I've been entirely certain that we had reached our limit—two kids—until this weekend, when some sort of synapse fired and suddenly it didn't seem like complete insanity to have another child. It seemed, in fact, like a lovely idea.
Now that it's Monday and all the reveries of the weekend have again been put in storage, I'm trying to diagnose what would cause me to have such wild and anarchic thoughts (my wife is also doubtless wondering about the pendulum of my mind). After all, I also bought our Christmas plane tickets home to the Florida Keys this weekend, the first Christmas where I had to actually buy an adult-size ticket for my 2-year-old. So now if I want to go see my mother for the holidays, I have to buy four plane tickets. Would buying five freaking plane tickets really be that much more fun?
Sometimes emotion trumps economics, though, and I think the desire to contemplate a third kid stems from the fact that I like our current pair a lot. You might even say I love them. They've been particularly sweet/curious/solicitous as of late, and given that toddlerhood is quickly disappearing in my youngest, there's a sense of loss and also a sort of creative confidence. We've had two babies now and they're both physically healthy and (we think) not total assholes. Why not try a third?
Here's why not: if the desire to have more children is led in part by a love for your current children, maybe we should just reinvest that emotion back into the two you've got. Not in order to become sweltering helicopter parents, but to really have the time and courage to get to know and understand and respond to them as individuals.
I bring this last part up because I finally got to watching Sean Penn's Into the Wild off the NetFlix queue this weekend. I had read the Jon Krakauer article in Outside magazine years ago, about Chris McCandless, who wandered into the Alaskan wilderness in his early 20s with no backup plan for surviving in the wild. It was lunacy, in some ways, driven by his resentment against his argumentative middle-class parents. When I read the article, I felt some points of identification with McCandless (though I've never been as incautious or alienated as him). When I saw the movie, I spent more time thinking about the parents.
Leaving aside their issues of domestic violence (at least as the movie portrayed it), it seems to me their biggest mistake is that they have no earthly idea who their son is. They offer him a new car after graduation from college, even though his old Datsun is clearly a large part of his self-identity. They misunderstand how much space he needed and what kind. As a result, they were never a part of his ambitions, and they never even had the chance to just give their kid a couple pieces of advice (e.g., "Ask a local what happens to the river in spring, dude") that could have saved him.
Obviously, a movie—not even a new release!—has literally nothing to do without whatever strange play will act itself out between us and our kids. But even if I'm confident that we could produce another child worthy of love, I'm not overconfident in our ability to really know the ones we already have. It's more than providing for them, it's much more than just protecting them. It's about really recognizing who they are, and that takes a tremendous amount of time and wisdom. For one, much less two, and certainly not three.
That's my stance this week at least.

In my "five players to watch this week" article, I told you all the reasons why I thought players like Jim Furyk, Graeme McDowell, and Jason Day could win this week's RBC Heritage at Harbour Town Golf Links. I even called Day the favorite for the event, and I still think he is.
But, here's a player who's flying under most people's radar after a week off.
Billy Horschel was playing tremendous golf leading into the Masters. The University of Florida graduate came from out of nowhere in most casual golf fans' eyes this season. He shouldn't have. The 26-year-old is in his fourth PGA Tour season, and he has some serious game.
Horschel is really the textbook definition of a Tour grinder. An individual medalist at the 2006 US Amateur and three-time All-American in college, Horschel turned pro in 2009, but has hit seemingly every stumbling block a player of his talent can hit.
After making it through "Q school" to earn his 2010 PGA Tour membership, a wrist injury limited him to just four starts and no cuts made. He then went through the qualifying tournaments again to secure 2011 membership, even though he had a medical extension which would have made it easier for him to maintain his card. His highest finish in that 2011 season was a tie for 13th at the Mayakoba (now OHL) Classic in Cancun, but he found his way to 140th on the money list and stayed on for 2012.
Despite a near breakthrough with a third-place finish at the 2012 True South Classic, Horschel had to go through Q School a third time just to be on Tour this year. While the Masters took the attention of the entire golf world, Horschel nearly secured an invite to Augusta this year — twice.
With ties for second at the Shell Houston Open and third at the Valero Texas Open (one stroke behind world no. 2 Rory McIlroy), nobody is playing more solidly than Horschel right now.
This season, he ranks 23rd on Tour in both ball striking and strokes gained putting, and fifth in par breakers (over 25 percent through 40 rounds played). Harbour Town is going to put a premium on consistent play on and around the greens, and he's got his game in shape right now.
Don't underestimate the combination of preparation and determination. Many players wouldn't have struggled through injuries and qualifying as much as Billy Horschel. One of these days, maybe this weekend, he'll be hoisting the winner's trophy on the PGA Tour.

You may have heard us talk about this awesome board game on Drunken Gamers Radio, or maybe the name sounds familiar to you from the recent news that the game was being translated to both XBLA and the PSN. Either way, it seems that every year, some new and awesome expansion is released for the game from it's creators, Twilight Creations.
For those not in the know, the game Zombies!!! features a set of tiles that are placed randomly by players to create a gameboard. The board is filled with zombies and players are tasked with getting to he helicopter pad before being killed. Players are allowed to add zombies to the board and play cards in order to screw the other players and make sure only one gets to freedom first. Kind of like the anti Left 4 Dead mentality of zombie survival. Very much every man for himself. It's a lot of fun and the game has only gotten better with different add on packs that add cool new locations and items. For instance, one of the earlier expansions added a mall so that you can more accurately play through a twisted version of Dawn of the Dead.
The latest, and 8th in the series so far, is called Jailbreak and starts you in a mental ward. From there, it just gets worse as the zombies invade and you have to get your crazy ass to freedom. Highlights of the expansion include 15 more map tiles, 30 new cards and a new "dodge" mechanic to help you survive the zombies in your quest to survive. The cost is $15.00 and is set to go on sale soon!
Check out the website for more information at Twilight Creations Inc.
