I See... When Everyone Else is Better Than You
I love my wife and kids, and wouldn't trade them for anything, but it became clear that we were living a quintessentially normal boring Mormon life, while most of our friends who had long since moved from the ward were living the exciting new active Mormon life. While everyone else was rock-climbing, scuba-diving, sending righteous sons on missions, and marrying breathtakingly beautiful worthy young men and women in the House of the Lord, I was manually de-icing the driveway, making home teaching appointments, creatively rearranging firewood in the backyard shed, and figuring out how to get the elliptic exercise bike in the basement to work. Many of our Christmas card buddies were looking forward to new jobs, new babies, and other new horizons. What was I looking forward to? The highlight of my week was our regular high-stakes trash-talking family Sunday evening LDS card game "It Came to Pass."
The pity party didn't last long, however. When I momentarily glanced up from the netbook I was using to compose this blogpost, I saw sitting across from me on the couch a cute, creative, and obedient teenage daughter who rarely complains about completing kitchen chores and doing the right thing, quietly sketching in her art book. I saw an unusually frigid, windy wintery Maryland day outside the family room picture window and a perfectly crackling Norman Rockwell-esque fire in the fireplace to warm by worn feet inside next to me. I saw a beautiful, intriguing wife who has supported me through thick and thin making traditional noises in the kitchen and using the new "Cocomotion" machine Santa brought to whip up a batch of cherry hot chocolate. We are about to start our weekly family business meeting where we plan the details of our incredibly normal and boring week together.
Everyone else may be better than I am, but are they as happy as I am at this moment?
I think not.

Uncle Richard I love this post! I all too easily fall into the trap of comparing myself to others, and it usually ends in me feeling worse about myself. Thanks for the reminder that a little gratitude goes a long way.ReplyDelete
Laura you are one of my most active readers. It's kind comments like yours that keep me thinking up content like this. Don't think that even for a moment, however, I have lost my ruthless Monopoly skills!ReplyDelete
I too love this post. I just figured out why I miss snow so much. Getting snowed in is the perfect excuse, no reason, to stay home and just 'be' with family. But so is 20 degree frigid weather in Florida! Yay for extra snuggle time!ReplyDelete
From one boring, normal Mormon family to another, I totally get where you're coming from! Great post!ReplyDelete

Actually, Lara, I think your family's Christmas picture and letter was one of the exciting ones...ReplyDelete

Day 8
Wednesday – Crunchy Nut Cornflakes and a cup of tea. Mid morning – a long walk around Durham to attend an appointment I had no desire to attend! Attended said appointment and embarked on the long jog back to the car as the parking meter money was running out. Was pleased to see the Traffic Warden hadn't made it to that area yet. Lunch – bought in sandwich, crisps and cup of tea. Definitely not a healthy option! Yoga at Bannatyne's. Swimming with grandson. Tea – sausage casserole, mashed potatoes with vegetables. Early evening – coffee, small non chocolate biscuit.

Minister Grange while speaking at the launch of the 2017 Reggae Marathon, Half Marathon and 10k at the Alahambra Inn in St. Andrew, said that in recent years tourism generated by marathons has been rising in tandem with the increasing global popularity of marathon racing itself.
Miss Grange said:
"The reports are showing that as the marathons pull in more participants so are the tourists flocking in not just to enjoy the events but whatever else the host city has to offer.
"Now Jamaica's Reggae Marathon, Half Marathon and 10K is increasingly becoming a drawing card not only for visitors who come to run and or/walk but also for visitors who come just to be a part of the crowd and have fun."
Minister Grange said it was not surprising that the Reggae Marathon had become a magnet for visitors. "Over 17 years it has become Jamaica's premier marathon and has earned high grades internationally with the 100 Half Marathons Club of the United Sates saying it was among the Best Half Marathons of 2016."
The Sport Minister said she was led again to emphasize that Sport Tourism in general had become a multi-million-dollar Industry.
"Sport is regarded as the number one industry in the leisure sector. Sport is an integral part of all cultures, and while often viewed as a separate activity, it is inextricably linked to tourism and many other sectors," she said.
Minister Grange said it was up to the Government to provide the support through sport infrastructure and other facilities "to enable us to turn potential into money, big money."
She said that the Legacy projects under Jamaica 55 being undertaken such as the Upgrading of the Trelawny Stadium, the establishment of the Caribbean Sports Medicine Centre and the re-development of the National Stadium Complex along with the establishment of the Sport Museum and a concert hall, represent a large part of what the Government is doing through her Ministry.
Minister Grange pledged the donation of a computer from the Ministry which she hoped would assist the expansion of the Reggae Marathon Schools' programme.

'Riverdale' Season 2 Episode 14 Recap: Cheryl Has a Huge Moment
Riverdale is back, and with—finally—a major Cheryl Blossom story line! Of course, it was buried in between Core Four nonsense. This is Riverdale, after all. Here's what happened (spoilers ahead, obvi):
Betty's wearing overalls and stressing about the murder she helped her mother cover up. Chic finds her uneasiness hilarious, but not as hilarious as I find his name: Chic. Meanwhile, Cheryl Blossom throws some shade at her mom, Penelope, for crushing on Hal Cooper, but Penelope hits right back with some comments that almost bring Cheryl to tears. And just like that I hate Penelope.
Over at Château Lodge, Hiram Lodge (it's finally sinking in that this is Mark Consuelos and always will be Mark Consuelos) offers the family lake house to Veronica, Archie, Betty, and Jughead for the weekend. Veronica doesn't want Hiram's driver, André, to chaperone them because he'd ruin their Four Loko buzzes, but Hiram's insistent he go. (It turns out Hiram wants Veronica in a "safe place" while he meets with some unruly New York families about Papa Poutine's death. Over this mafia storyline!) He tells Archie that André will be there, unseen, and that Veronica can't know. This is sketch. Are these kids gonna do Jingle Jangle in the woods or what?
Jughead is convinced Hiram Lodge is planning something "big" and "bad," which is why he wants the Serpents out of Sunnyside Trailer Park. He's not wrong, but Lord, I don't care even a little bit about what Hiram's planning or how Jughead's going to foil it. Bring back Cheryl's dysfunctional mother, please.
Or Kevin! A Kevin narrative will do! Kevin asks Moose if he wants to go see Love, Simon with him in theaters (nice promo, Fox), but Moose says he's already going with Midge but she's OK with all three of them going together. Midge apparently knows that Kevin and Moose hook up and she's "cool with it," which spooks Kevin. So we're about to see some…queer polyamory…in high school? Here for it, as unrealistic as that is.
Alright, I officially hate everyone: Cheryl just invited herself to the Core Four's lake weekend, and Veronica shut her down. Don't they realize Cheryl is the key to making any weekend not lame? They need her! God, if I have to watch Jughead sit around working on his "novel" by a lake for the next 40 minutes…. Jughead also wants to use Veronica as a "source" for uncovering Hiram's plan, a plot point I care even less about now that these idiots have snubbed Cheryl.
It's the day of the lake trip: Jughead goes to pick Betty up at her house, and Chic makes some creepy comment to him about how it will be "bad for Betty and Alice" if Jughead spills the beans about the murder. God, he's a creep. But also Jughead annoys me, so I'm all for Chic pissing him off.
André drops the kids off at the house, and Archie notices he has a gun, so that's no good. Jughead then gets a call from Cheryl, who, pissed off about being left out of the weekend, tells him about Archie and Betty's kiss. Oh my God, I love her so much it physically hurts. F-ck shit up, Cheryl! You look so good!
"Archie and Betty kissed in front of my house right before Christmas, and it seemed pretty serious. Like, with tongue serious. That's all! Enjoy your couples-only weekend! Kisses to all! Bye now!"—Cheryl
Toni Topaz overhears Cheryl talking to Jughead on the phone and offers to console her because she seems to be in "a lot of pain." Oh my God…is this the unlikely romance they've been teasing for Cheryl? I'm here for this, I think?!
Over at Lodge Lodge, "Varchie" isn't sweating Cheryl's phone call because Archie told Veronica about his kiss with Betty weeks ago. Archie's a doofus, guys; he couldn't keep a secret like that! "Bughead," meanwhile, is completely bugging out. Jughead doesn't understand why Betty didn't tell him about the kiss when he came clean about hooking up with Cheryl's maybe future lover Toni, which is valid. They make amends, though, and then hear the squeaky sound of Varchie banging in the next room. Iconic.
Now that this drama's over, Varchie and Bughead settle in with some margaritas on the couch. Jughead slyly asks Veronica about the Sodale Project, because he's trying to figure out Hiram's end game. Betty tries to get Jughead to STFU, but to no avail. God, if only Jughead would just STFU.
Veronica's solution to easing this tension is for the four of them to get in the hot tub. She then suggests that she should kiss Jughead to level the playing field between the Core Four, which is self-sacrifice if I've ever seen it. They kiss, and it's super awkward.
Oh my God, now Betty's wearing her Dark Betty black wig and seducing Jughead in their bedroom. And now Varchie is the couple awkwardly lying in their room. That Veronica-Jughead kiss isn't sitting well with Archie, apparently. OK, this is the only time I'm going to say something nice about Archie: Sweetie, Jughead kissed Veronica. Sad, pouty, beanie-wearing Jughead! You have nothing to worry about.
Oof, drama: Veronica finds out André's been creeping on them this whole time and that Archie knew about it. She's mad and tells Archie she's going into town with Betty alone and that he can entertain Jughead. So, there's about to be some toxic masculinity! (Actually, it's not. They have a very pleasant conversation and make up. Hooray?)
"Try not to choke on your own testosterone while you're at it."—Veronica to Archie
In town, Veronica starts flirting with a store clerk named Cassidy, who's cute but kinda creepy. He somehow knows where her family's lake house is, so I have a feeling he's gonna show up there at night When a Stranger Calls-style.
Back in Riverdale, Mayor McCoy finally comes clean to Josie about her affair with the salt-and-pepper snack, Sheriff Keller. She plans on leaving her husband for him, but Keller hasn't told his wife about this…or Kevin, for that matter. Ultimately, Josie tells Kevin about the affair, and he flips out on his father. Enraged, he goes to Pop's Chock'lit Shoppe, where he runs into Midge and Moose. The three of them start talking, and it becomes very clear Midge actually has no idea Moose and Kevin have hooked up, which is the opposite of what Moose told Kevin earlier. Kevin and Josie end up going to the movie together. Ultimately, they sit their parents down, and the four of them have a cease-fire. Awww, blended families from adultery! So tender!
And Toni and Cheryl go to the movie together too. They go to Pop's after, and Cheryl tearfully comes out and opens up to Toni about a girl she was in love with in junior high. Her mother broke them up and called Cheryl "deviant," so, yup Penelope's now on my shit list too. Toni comforts her, grabs her hand, and calls her "sensational," so you can bet a romance between them is coming.
"If that's Cheryl, tell her everyone kissed everyone, and it's over."—Betty
Also, Hiram apparently bought Sunnyside Trailer Park and the Serpents are celebrating, but Jughead suspects it was for vicious reasons. Veronica, Archie, and Betty tell him that he's crazy and needs to calm down, and I've honestly never stanned the three of them more. But now it's Betty who needs to calm down, because Hiram Lodge also bought the Riverdale Register. This leads to a huge fight, Bughead vs. Varchie.
But their fight is interrupted by three masked dudes who break into the lodge and starting robbing the place. One of these guys is definitely Cassidy, the clerk from the store. Also, they all look like the Black Hood, which is giving me PTSD. Veronica sneakily hits a panic button in the house, but in the meantime these masked freaks order the Core Four to get on their knees and put their hands behind their backs. But the alarm company calls just in time, which scares the robbers off. This isn't good for chest-puffing Archie, though, who runs after the guy who took Veronica's wallet. Of course! Then André swoops in out of nowhere in the woods and shoots one of these guys. What the hell?!?
Things end with Jughead telling Betty that he got a weird vibe from Chic and that she should be "careful" around him. Obviously, it's implied Chic overheard this. Dun, dun, duuun!

This blog has been going for three months now and I think I have found my rhythm in posting. That said, this month will probably see the following:
-Pen and paper thoughts. As I had said last month, this time I will actually get around to doing some world-building. We'll see if I do actually do it...
-Again, continuing the Oblivion diary. I have enough material for another two months and I don't think I'm even half-way through the main questline...
-I might go on about some more board-game experiences. Just in theory.
-Several possible Thoughts on Pixels are in the making. I have to organize my thoughts on these though.
-I intend to translate my forum-optimized tactical dungeon-crawl RPG MadSlay Online into English. If it gets done within this month, I'll release it here.
So yeah, I've managed to post more posts in March than I did in February and I'll try to keep up the pace with about three posts per week on average. See how it goes in the near future on this very blog!

The Texas State Core Curriculum
Ben and Maytee Fisch College of Pharmacy
The Texas Core Curriculum describes the general education requirements required of all students receiving a Bachelor's Degree at a public university in Texas. The Texas Core Curriculum includes courses such as history, government, fine arts, the sciences, communication, and mathematics. Many of the pharmacy prerequisite courses will also satisfy the math and science requirements.
Applicants who have/will have a Bachelor's Degree before entering the program are exempt from this requirement. The Texas Core Curriculum is required for both in-state and out-of-state residents.
Bachelor's Degree Prior to the Pharm.D. Program:
Requirement to take the Texas Core Curriculum
Texas Core is not required to be completed.
The Texas Core Curriculum is required even if courses were taken outside of Texas.
Completing the Texas Core Curriculum at UT Tyler
The Texas Core Curriculum is recommended to be completed prior to starting the program. However, students may take up to 12 semester credit hours during the first two years of the program. These courses are restricted to the following categories: (40) Language, Philosophy, and Culture, (50) Creative Arts, (60) American History, and (70) Government/Political Science. If the Texas Core Curriculum is completed at another institution, UT Tyler will only consider this complete if documented on the official transcript.
It is recommended that these classes, if taken, be completed during the first and/or second summer semester. This will allow students to concentrate on the Pharm.D. curriculum during the fall and spring semesters.
Students are responsible for tuition and fees associated with the Texas Core Curriculum courses. All other prerequisite and Texas Core Curriculum courses must be completed prior to entry into the Pharm.D. program.
If an applicant is required to complete the Texas Core Curriculum, the applicant must either (1) complete the Texas Core Curriculum prior to entering the program or (2) complete the Texas Core Curriculum at another college (e.g. during the summer) and submit those transcripts to UT Tyler. Once a student has started the program, they must meet the UT Tyler-specific Texas Core Curriculum. All pharmacy students must be core complete by the start of the third professional year.
Types of Courses included in the Texas Core Curriculum
The Texas Core Curriculum includes courses such as history, government, fine arts, the sciences, communication, and mathematics. A list of courses that fulfill the Texas Core Curriculum is provided on the 2014-16 General Education Core Curriculum webpage. Several pre-pharmacy courses will also satisfy the Texas Core Curriculum.
- 6 SCH: 10 Communication (examples: ENGL 1301, 1302, SPCH 1315
- 3 SCH: 20 Mathematics (examples: math, calculus)
- 6 SCH: 30 Life & Physical Sciences (examples: BIOL 1406, 1407 (Biology I & II))
- 3 SCH: 40 Language, Philosophy, Culture
- 3 SCH: 50 Creative Arts
- 6 SCH: 60 American History
- 6 SCH: 70 Government/Political Science
- 3 SCH: 80 Social/Behavioral Sciences (examples: ECON 1301 or 1302)
- 3 SCH: Component Area Option – STEM (examples:CHEM 1411, 1412 (Chem I or II))
3 SCH: Component Area Option – Human Expression (examples: ENGL 1301, 1302, SPCH 1311)
SCH: Semester credit hours. Students entering UT Tyler before 2014 may complete the 2012-2014 or 2014-2016 curriculum. The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board requires the listed courses to be accepted by the student's home institution. One course cannot be used to satisfy multiple requirements.

Some of the old crumbling mansions in the San Telmo district still have most of their original features. We stumbled upon one old mansion that didn't look that much from the outside but inside opened up into three massive courtyards, all with beautiful old tiling. All the rooms had been become little shops of antiques, vintage clothing and architectural salvage.
A lot of the boutiques we went to also had flashes of patterned tiles which I thought looked awesome.
Certainly gave me inspiration for my own little shop! We still have the original Minton floor in the hallway of the mock tudor building that will become the home of my new business. Once we get it polished up and repaired I think it will look fantastic!

CORNINGWORKS, a dance theater company located in Pittsburgh PA, re-invented itself from a much older company, as such we needed to get the company re-branded and the word out in as many ways as we could!
Our magnets served as a great business card, a terrifically creative announcement, and as wonderful marketing swag! Not only were they included as a fundraising tool, but were also put out in theater lobbies during performances, (where they had to be refilled nightly)! In addition to all of this, our marketing team started "sticking" them up all over town in unexpected places.
We often hear that our "LEGS" are to be found in many business offices, personal refrigerators and the response has been wonderful.Magnets.com was wonderful to work with. Quick, easy, wonderfully high quality, and competitively priced! Could not ask for anything more! THANK YOU!

Guidelines On Finding Great Furniture Pieces
It's actually loads of fun to buy furniture. Many pieces will make you feel good, although the price about the tag can ruin that happiness. The tips below will explain the way to get great pieces of furniture at the prices that you'll love.
If you would like buy wood furniture like antiques, look past the surface. You need to be inspecting the underside of your furniture plus the drawers and also other pieces. In several cases, visually inspecting something will enable you to see how durable the furniture piece actually is.
Also known as secondary woods, internal and underside surfaces give you a lot of clues concerning true quality of construction and aging.
The buying price of furniture can be a bit high. You are able to lower your costs by buying used furniture. You can buy slightly used furniture which is in great condition from stores, garage sales and classified ads. You could always reupholster furniture if necessary. Money will probably be saved by doing this.
When selecting furniture for outdoor spaces, seek out quality construction. Look at each weld to be sure none are weak. Weakened welds certainly are a sign that this furnishings are not gonna last long. Look for a different patio which is stronger and constructed of better material.
Make certain reclining chairs and sofas work before leaving the store. A lot of people neglect this method, and every time they buy and carry their furniture inside their homes, they realize that something is wrong. Some stores might make it hard to do an exchange.
When deciding on living room area furnishings, go for neutral hues Layla Mattress Review If you choose a color which is neutral, this enables you to easily change things up. Like that, seasonal changes can be created inexpensively.
Whenever you get a couch, ensure you question any springing systems. You must do everything you can to discover more about it prior to an order. Press upon the couch to notice the springs, and ensure they go front to back all over the piece.
Take along one swatch of your respective existing wall color when you are looking at furniture. While you might adore a piece of furniture, when it clashes with the other furniture, you will not be happy. This is often easily avoided. You can get matching paint swatches from hardware stores, or take photos of your own room's colors and hold them beside prospective pieces within the store.
In case you are considering purchasing a patterned sofa, make certain that the sofa's fabric is aligned well. If an item of upholstered furniture is cheap, you may find the pattern askew on the seams. Since you're spending a little bit of money to get a new sofa, be sure that you're buying one that's aligned perfectly. Do not forget that it will be in your house, so that you want it to look perfect.
Use this valuable information for your best advantage. Utilize the information you read here when buying furniture, and you should not have access to any problems at the same time. You might have beautiful, sturdy furniture to outfit your house at a lower price if you use the recommendations above..

The Eagle Nebula
by Gabe Meier
I created the above Tri-Color Image using Photoshop and the FITS Liberator. I added the required colors and cropped it so that it is more aesthetically appealing.
The Eagle Nebula is categorized as Messier 16 or M16 and is also known as the Star Queen Nebula. It was discovered by Jean-Philippe de Cheseaux in 1745-46 and its name is derived from the fact that early astronomers thought it looked like an eagle. It is part of a diffuse emissions nebula. It's region of active star formation is about 7,000 light years away. The tower of gas that can be seen coming off the nebula is about 90 trillion kilometers high and are often called the "Pillars Of Creation". The Nebula has been referenced in popular culture several times, most notably in the television series Star Trek and the film Contact.

Ralk Wist'lya outbid Czerka representative Azera Eska'Nial for this Dynamic-class freighter. No one is sure why Czerka Arms was so eager to acquire this ship.
She is armed with twin turbolaser turrets (dorsal and ventral), and heavy dual laser cannon turrets (port and starboard).
The ship's cloaking device uses stygium crystals. The Folly's sensors function normally while the ship is cloaked, but communications do not.

The appeal filed by the wife of former TNA Jaffna district MP Nadaraja Raviraj challenging the Colombo High Court's judgment to release the five accused, including three Navy intelligence officers, in the Raviraj murder case was yesterday re-fixed for support on December 12 by the Court of Appeal.
The Court of Appeal two-judge-bench bench comprising Justice Kumuduni Wickremesinghe and Justice Preethi Padman Surasena were informed that the second respondent accused, a navy officer was evading court.
The aggrieved party, Sasikala Raviraj, wife of the slain MP filed this appeal seeking an order to set aside the verdict of the Colombo High Court dated December 23, 2016 to acquit and release all accused from the case.
On December 23, 2016, three Navy intelligence officers and two others, accused in the Raviraj murder, were acquitted and released from the case after they were found not guilty by jury trial.
The verdict which was delivered by High Court Judge Manilal Waidyatilleke as per the unanimous decision reached by the jury, following a month long trial. The jury's decision was that the accused cannot be convicted based on the evidence in the case.
The petitioner further sought an order to set aside the order of the High Court allowing the request of the accused for the case to be tried before a jury. The petitioner stated that a trial by jury cannot be accepted in this case since three charges out of five had been levelled under the Prevention of Terrorism Act (PTA).
The High Court allowed the Raviraj murder trial to proceed in absentia of the three accused Palana Sami Suresh alias Sami, Sivakanthan Vivekanandan alias Charan and Fabian Royston Toussaint who were evading Court since the initiation of investigations.
The indictments were filed against six accused Palana Sami Suresh alias Sami, Prasad Chandana Kumara alias Sampath, Gamini Seneviratne, Pradeep Chaminda alias Vajira, Sivakanthan Vivekanandan alias Charan and Fabian Royston Toussaint on five counts, including committing the murder of Raviraj and his security officer Lokuwella Murage Laksman under the provisions of the PTA and Penal Code. Three accused who were not present before Court, had been identified as ex-LTTE cadres affiliated to the Karuna faction. Wijeya Wickrema Manamperige Sanjaya Preethi Viraj was made state witness in the Raviraj murder trial.

Our task was not easy. But we nailed it, yes. Our presence there was a gift for them.
October 1st. Mister Sun wasn't up yet, but I have to prepare. The night before was a stress (I came home late just to finish the hand-outs for the lecture the next day. I slept late, around 12:30 a.m., to sort the school papers that I have to bring.) and I cannot afford to be late for today, even just for today.
After all the necessities have been ready, I bid nanay and tatay goodbye, hailed an air-conditioned bus to Dumaguete, and another one to Jimalalud, with my co-editors Rina and Kenneth. The two-hour drive to the "Little Big Town of Jimalalud" was seemingly quick and in no time, we found ourselves in the confines of Jimalalud National High School, the alma mater of our Features Editor, Ryan. Everyone, especially Ma'am Beth and her bestfriend, whom I failed to get the name, was so accomodating. I finally felt how it was to be the special guest lecturer. I do hope there will be more of these lecture thingy in the near future.
|I vindicate thee, Jimalalud, with a pose.
|Lecture time. They all seem ready.
|And lunch...
|And lunch!
|With Minute Maid...Orange pulps :)
|And a dose of Orange Ink :)
|Break time.
|Impeccable timing
|Sunset blues.
|The peace sign and the kiddos!
|On editorial cartooning
|They listened intently. I know they are willing to learn.
|Nag drawing din.
|On Column writing
|And write what your heart desires.
|Memorabilia before going home.
|Dropped at the Jimalalud park...for supper.
|Waited for a bus to come (but we weren't still able to go home dahil super gabi nah)
|Stayed overnight sa "kamalig" of one of the teachers.
|And finally went home safe the next day.

There have been many changes around the Cozey Lot.
One such change is that I retired my semi new laptop, and went for broke (literally), to invest in a decent gaming laptop. For all the work I did on it though, I could see why it was a short lived relationship. Hopefully this new machine will stick around through the thick and thin. (I should totally marry this thing)
I chose to answer Berry's Computer Specs Meme to share what I ended up getting. I've missed doing these meme things, and even though she is not regularly posting them, they're still a great tool to kick start an article or even a new blog.
Meme Instructions: Share your computer specs and answer the following questions. Don't forget to leave a link to your post in the comments.
- Share any of your computer specs (video card, memory, etc..) Click here if you don't know any of those things or just share the year you bought it.
CPU: i7-4700
Memory: 8g
Storage: 1t
Windows 8.1 64-bit
Graphics Card: GeForce GTX 860M
- Which viewer do you use most often? – I used to use a combination of the Official Viewer and Singularity, but with this new machine, the only viewer that has allowed me access on full graphic load is Firestorm http://www.firestormviewer.org/.
- What is your FPS (Frames Per Second) when you have your graphics on ultra? 45-50 ish…depending how good wifi is that particular day. On the hardline, its between 60-70, both on ultra.
- How often does Second Life crash for you? Is it usually just a viewer crash or your whole system crashes? What are you usually doing at the moment of the crash? Let's face it, Second Life running on a laptop is not going to give users an optimal experience so my laptop would crash a lot a lot. Towards the end there, it was almost unbearable to wait through the graphic lag, and God forbid my camera switch positions by accident.
When my system crashes I'm usually at a very lagtastic region, or taking a snapshot in a very graphic/texture heavy location.
- Do you know of any tips or tricks in the settings that would improve performance? Here is a link to a couple of tutorials from Nathaniel Pevensey's What Fresh SL is this? The first one, has been my lifesaver, truly. Turning down the sliders on things like trees, terrain and even some particles, have helped the process go by so much faster…have a peek 🙂
I've also been brushing up on post processing skeeelllz… Earlier in the day, Vertig0 was gracious enough to passed me a link to a blog with some great PS tutorials so I'll include the link here. It's always nice to have friends that share 🙂
Thank you for stopping by and keeping me company oh ye faithful lurkers. Do visit Strawberry's Blog Challenge and Meme category for ideas and inspiration!

The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) on Wednesday reiterated its commitment to safeguard the right of road users on the highways, especially during the festive period.
Mr Sunday Maku, the FRSC Sector Commander in Kwara, made the assertion at the "Ember Months'' campaign in Oro, Irepodun Local Government Area.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that theme of the 2017 Ember Months Campaign is: "Right to Life on The Highway is Not Negotiable''.
According to Maku, every human being is always under continuous threat in many ways, particularly through road traffic crashes.
He said that it was the responsibility of FRSC, as enshrined in the constitution, to ensure rights to life on the highway by road users was adequately protected.
Maku said that the commission had put in place adequate personnel and logistics toward ensuring a crash-free festival.
Also, Mr Oluyinka Adetunji, the FRSC Unit Commander in Omu-Aran, urged motorists to always abide by road traffic regulation in order to reduce accidents and attendant casualty on the highways.
In his remarks, Mr Jimoh Adeyeye, the Chairman, National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), Oro Branch, called for more cooperation and understanding between the commission and members of the association.
He also urged FRSC to exercise restraint on the newly introduced speed limiter, saying that the unimpressive economic situation in the country had impacted negatively on members' operations.
Also, Mr Taiye Adeyemi, the Chairman, Road Transport Employers Association of Nigeria (NAN), solicited for more recognition of his members by the commission.
Adeyemi pledged that his members would abide by the laid down rules and regulations.
In his comments, Mr Ogunsakin Oluseyi, the Divisional Police Officer, Oro Police Command, said that the commission's campaign was yielding the desire results.
Oluseyi said that roads in the axes have not recorded any road crash for a long period. (NAN)

The Scottish Government has a target of achieving the supply of 80 per cent of Scottish electricity demand by 2020. At the moment around 30 per cent of Scottish electricity is being supplied by renewable energy, with around half of this 30 per cent now supplied by wind power. The large bulk of the rest of the 80 per cent target is also expected to come from a mixture of onshore and offshore wind power.
Yet the UK Government's EMR proposals, establishing a 'low carbon mechanism', point to the establishment of an 'auction' system of allocating contracts to supply renewable energy. Only holders of the contracts will have a good chance of developing schemes - either (in the worst case scenario) directly in competition with nuclear power, or, indirectly through 'technology bands'. In both cases the renewable energy developers will have to compete, directly or indirectly, with nuclear power for restricted funds (charged to electricity consumers). This is because the UK Treasury will want to impose a limit on electricity price increases and thus the amount of financial support given to renewable and nuclear energy.
However, it gets worse for renewables, because an 'auction' of contracts will mean that the offshore wind programme is likely to achieve only half its targets for installed capacity and the onshore programme is likely to achieve only a quarter of its targets for capacity. Historically, when auction systems have been used, around half the proposals that are successful in bidding the lowest tenders (expressed in prices to be paid for their energy generated) have been put into practice. This is because prospective developers make over-optimistic bids (to ensure they secure the contracts) that later prove to be uneconomic. Hence a lot of the offshore windfarm proposals already agreed by The Crown Estates will not be implemented. In the case of onshore windfarms, however, there is the further hurdle of achieving planning consent. Only around half of proposed schemes are given planing consent. So with onshore wind, under an 'auction' system, we get 'half of half' of the target - that is a quarter.
So the UK Government can claim to be giving over twice as many contracts for wind power than is actually likely to be implemented. This may be a convenient ruse for a Westminster Government which is anxious to give priority to nuclear power and blame renewable energy developers for not meeting their targets, but it does nothing for the Scottish Government which is giving sole priority to renewables as opposed to nuclear power.
Of course the UK Government is calling their proposed system a 'feed-in tariff' - the same name given to successful renewable support systems such as used in Germany. But the two things are not the same as in the case of a German-style feed-in tariff good rates for electricity are given to renewable generators who are not limited in what they can do by having to win an 'auction' competition. But in the UK a real German style feed-in tariff only exists for small scehmes. Currently of course we have the Renewables Obligation which gives freedom to large developers to set up schemes provided they can achieve planning consent. if they do not succeed in one place, whether for planning or economic reasons, they can try somewhere else without having to win an auction contest. The Renewables Obligation involves issuing 'Renewable Obligation Certificates' or ROCs to renewable generators. This system has faults, but it is still much preferable to the UK Government's proposals.
Let us hope the Scottish Government sticks to its guns on this issue as reflected in its initial response (see quote below), and demands an effective financial support mechanism to support renewable energy. Indeed, given the conflicting priorities of the UK Government between renewables and nuclear power it seems there would be big advantages in having authority over renewable energy support mechanisms transferred from Westminster to Edinburgh. Scotland's First Minister said on December 16th:
'Any new system must be at least as effective as the current framework of banded ROCs, where we have delivered unique and enhanced levels of support for offshore wind and for wave and tidal capable of delivering capacity as well as new industries and jobs. We are concerned that changes which are designed chiefly to extend our support mechanisms to include nuclear power run a material risk of being delivered at the expense of investment in renewable generation and CCS in Scotland. We will strongly resist any change for a support mechanism for nuclear power at the expense of renewable generation and CCS in

Welcome to Apple
Apple is recognized as one of the world leaders in innovation and bringing consumer products to market with outstanding success. While there are some amazing leaders at the company who are visionaries, including the late Steve Jobs, there is a lot more at play going on. There is a company culture which empowers all of their employees. I received a copy of their "welcome to Apple memo", which, while short, is amazing powerful. It speaks to the culture of the company, where they encourage their employees with an enhanced sense of purpose.
In the book Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us by Daniel Pink, which is backed up by several published academic studies, purpose is one of the driving factors of what motivates us in life. There is a shift taking place in workplace as it relates to motivating employees to improve productivity. Our industrial era management thinking says that placing a proverbial carrot (bonus, fear, or other monetary pain/pleasure) was effective when the labor required no cognitive thought (assembly line work), but as the nature of work in the majority of western countries evolve into positions requiring cognitive thought processes, the concept of the carrot provides worse results.
What Pink speaks about, which can be seen at TED, as well as animated at RSA, is that we are motivated by purpose, autonomy and mastery. This welcome memo to all new employees at Apple is an excellent example to reinforcing the culture of purpose.
Interested in learning
Continued from before, it is very important to understand that we are all life long learners. There is always something new to learn, and more to understand. Choosing the right sources for information, including related trade and general business publications, journals, etc., is excellent. Moreover, attending low cost training seminars frequently is great! Try to get to at least 4 per year – once a quarter. Focus on business related topics, and leave your trade related training out of the 4 per year. For example, I spend at least one seminar a year on tax related issues – what's changed, what can I do better; I also spend at least one on human relations – how to work better with your employees, as well as what do I need to legally understand; I also spend at least one on business growth; leaving one open to whatever strikes me this time around. The first three are essential learning, so you can see how easy it is to go to at least 4 per year.
I would also try to mix up the training between large firms or travelling seminars against smaller firms offering training. Keep an eye on your local Business Journal which often lists low cost (or sometimes free) training seminars.
Invest in your future by growing your business understanding. Also, while you're there, don't forget to network – make those future business relationships!
Do you know, or do you think you know?
One of my mentors early on in business tough me this very important question: "do you know, or do you think you know". The answer to that is key in many areas of business. It is something that you need to constantly be asking of yourself. But today, I'll brush back on my discussions about building a team of advisers. You need to surround yourself with people who know that they know what they're doing. How often do we get caught in "not knowing what we didn't know". We cannot afford that of our advisers who we are paying (or should be paying) good money for. (On an side, you should be paying your advisers at least twice as much as you are charging our clients!)
Now the big quandary is that you are paying them to know what you don't, so how do you determine that they know more about something that you don't know about? Double-talk, sounds like it. So how can you really know this. I was watching a program on PBS the other day about wealth management, it just happened to be on. Some of what they guy had to say made a lot of sense, other parts didn't. But what I took away was how he addressed this very problem – how do you know your adviser knows his stuff.
The answer is simple, ask plenty of open ended questions and judge how he responds. The content is less valuable then how… For example, what is the most recent law change, that they know of, which affects their role. For example, the case of us choosing an HR attorney (back in 2006), what law has recently changed that affects employer/employee relations. They should be able to name something specific, that they can explain in layman's terms and note that it was recently (say the last 3 months or so). When I spoke with our attorney recently, I brought up that I noticed that the Court of Appeals of California ruled that employers are not required ensure employees take their breaks, but rather that they are only required to ensure that the break is available and cannot prevent or dissuade them from taking their breaks. This was a landfall ruling for employers. When I brought this up, my attorney mention, that yes, it was a big victory for employers, but it really doesn't mean a whole lot until it is turned into law, which is what it is in the course of doing right now. You need to have people on your team that are more informed about the current issues than you are.
Another couple of questions to as are:
- How to you keep yourself up-to-date in your trade?
- What is the last conference/seminar you attended?
- When was your last certification/credential/etc?
- When was the last time you worked with a client with a similar situation as mine? (This would be a great one to ask your medical doctor next time!)
- What was the last time you turned away a client because their need did not match up with your ability?
Those are challenging questions to ask your advisers — or candidates. They are also challenging questions we need to honestly ask ourselves for our own business.
There is a lot of people who "practice" in their area of employment — do you really want to be "practiced" upon? There is no perfect advisor out there for you, but there are a lot of bad choices. A lot of people who "think" they know what they're doing. We call those interns, or journeyman, or whatever. There is a place for them, and they may be a part of your team in some areas. But you also need your fair share of experienced people on your team, someone to pickup the slack. A good example may be this…Dancing…
In dancing, there is a leader and a follower — they are typically separated out by gender roles, but not always. My wife and I have very little experience dancing and can fumble through a lot of things, more on my end then hers. We trying a free private ballroom dancing session. It was amazing, when either of us danced with the pro, we did fine. But when we danced with each other it seems to go far worse. We did get through it, but they key was when we were with the pro, one of us knew what was going on. When neither of us had a clue, it fell apart. The same goes for your team. If at least one of you is a pro, they can acknowledge the deficiencies of a team member and help bring them up to speed. But when your team is full of amateurs, you can get into trouble quick. Yes you can fumble through it, but the mistakes may be costly.
Make sure you have more pro's then amateurs on your team. If you are an amateur at business, then you need to hire a few pros. If you're a pro, then perhaps an amateur or two may be an acceptable liability for you. But in the beginning, don't skimp on experience!
Don't forget the person
This will be a bit different than you first might expect. This is about lessons learned about not forgetting the people in your life…away from the office. As I read more and more about successful people they have managed to hold together their personal lives in various forms, and despite what the media appears to focus on, more successful people are happily married with children, then the multi-marriage-disaster we've come to expect.
While growing and forming your business is very, very critical — and is one of those: do what you have to do, so you can do what you want to do – sort of things. On the same part, sometimes we "want" to do work, and what we need to do is pour value and significance onto our families and friends. We will all pour so much into the office and our employees, who may betray us at some point — our families are forever, and we need to remember and treat them as such.
For each person, that attention and value can and will be expressed differently. For some it is coming home always at 4pm, for others if was when they got home (whatever hour) they were automatically, fully 100% devoted to their family, virtually ignoring the world; yet others it would take the form of occasional (but frequent) holidays and vacations – or perhaps "weekends with dad". Whatever form suits you and your family, find it, and then live it — commit to it. Whatever it takes for you, if that is placing it on the calendar, or having your spouse "hound you" or having your secretary keep you on-top. Whatever it takes, it is vital. Your homelife will have a greater impact on your work, far beyond what you could ever imagine.
Time Management
I just completed reviewing How To Manage Your Time and it included a list of great time management tips. All very valuable. What hit me the most was the last one: Closed door / open door. While we all try to keep an open door policy, it is important to have a closed door most of the time, at least physically. That way you can get the work done, and it shows that you are busy, working, being productive. Open the door when it is a good time – perhaps even schedule it (privately) — that is to set some times in your outlook calendar to remind you to open the door, but don't let anyone know about that schedule, otherwise they'll begin to count on it. But to make yourself available does not mean that you always need to be available.

Great product with superb serviceMICHAEL B Verified buyer1 year ago
As our bed was bought in Europe and is a mechanical super king therefore it requires the euro length x 2 fitted sheets. I have purchased what I thought was correct from another retailer and they were too short. These were perfect and of very good quality. I have even asked the Secret Linen store if they could stock more products for this type of bed. Highly recommended.Laura F Verified buyer1 year ago

Welcome to Ms. Tina's Blog. This is my first blog. I am a Technology Director. I am at the NECC Conference in Atlanta. I am in a session on blogging being held by David Warlick. He is an outstanding presenter. We are learning all about Web 2.0. I wish I had my boss here with me to see all the cool things I have seen the last couple of days. I know that he would be eating this up. I will definitely need to type up a report of some kind to give him an insight into what I think we should do in the future with technology. Schools are using wiki's and blogs in unique ways.
I sat in on a session yesterday on gaming development. We are a "technology center" but we have people who don't even know what a wiki or a blog is! I have to admit that I need to get with the program as well. I need to go to more conferences like NECC. I think I get caught up in the daily grind of doing my job and have trouble keeping up with the latest technology and what schools are doing with it. This is just the shot in the arm that I needed to help me feel motivated about my job! I've really been struggling lately because I feel like my ideas are not valued in my workplace. I feel I am seen as the "technology janitor" and not a technology integrator.

Get your butt on that cycle," I told myself. It was 9.30 in the night and I had just finished a lousy day of making lemonades, lemon pickles and even lime rice for life had only lemons to hand me for the day. I was cranky, tired and irritable. In short, it was the perfect time to be out on a cycle. I knew that within ten minutes of pumping those pedals, good mood would rush back to me as surely as the blood that gushes to my face when I cycle.
It all began when my husband and I found some exquisite cycling trails in Pondicherry. Apart from the sheer pleasure of cycling, we found that we had walked (well, cycled) side by side for more than sixty minutes and we had not quarrelled once.
"This is an incredible invention," said my husband.
"The cycle has been around since the 19th century," I said dryly.
"No, I mean the fact that we don't quarrel when we cycle," he said.
"That would be a discovery and not an invention, Palooka." I said and a quarrel broke out promptly.
Yet once back neither of us could forget the immense joy cycling had given us. When you cycle, the landscape does not whiz past you in a blur as it does while in a car or a train. When you cycle, you become aware of those limbs of yours that you have long used and soaped unconsciously and never acknowledged. The dull joint aches and the pungent sweat of your armpit make you feel strangely present to yourself. Cycling slows down life and makes your own body visible to you.
"Have you wondered how crazy we are? We have two cars, two motorcycles and we want to buya cycle after all this?" my husband asked.
"Let me see, that makes it totally 12 wheels in our house and any surprise we look like their tyres?" I asked.
My exquisite logic and its expression won the argument.
We bought a cycle, a unisex that both man and wife could use. My (okay our!) cycle is red in colour. It is done up in red and silver in fact. It is sporty, macho and its curious handlebars make it seem like a buffalo with huge horns. When I ride it I like to think I look like Lord Yama on his buffalo. Gives me a sense of power, a daredevilry and all those racy feelings that a motorcycle is so wont to give and a cycle is not.
Yet life is mostly lived in our imagination and so my cycle is indeed this powerful fire-spitting, smoke-exhaling beast that I tame each time I get on it.
After I finished my round on my buffalo, I egged my husband to take it to work.
"What?? Of all the…."
"You will set a good corporate example. This will emblematise your corporate cost cutting exercise. You will be a paradigm of survivorship in times of recession," I perorated.
"Good idea. So can you drop me by cycle in car? Or should I cycle to work by car?" He asked. "You don't understand anything that does not come via a PPT (powerpoint presentation) or your bluetooth, do you?" I asked.
"Recycle that. I mean come again?" he asked and I asked him to stop being a bull and doggedly argued until he chickened in fright and acceded to ride the buffalo to work.
As usual, my exquisite (animal) logic and its expression won the argument. My husband has been cycling to work at least three times a week ever since and he does no less than 45 km in a week.
He says all that pumping makes him mentally alert by the time he reaches office and when he returns home all his bad chi has already been worked off and there really is no need to start an argument or throw a fit to release tension. We really are quarrelling less these days.
That night, as I climbed on my bovine vahana, my son called out.
"Here, wear this orange hood jacket of mine. You will look sporty," said my son.
"But it will conceal my attractiveness?" I complained.
"Er…yeah. Safer, don't you think? Given the late hour, I mean," added my husband.
So if you see a lady late in the night in an orange hood (to hide her attractiveness), setting the roads on fire, exhibiting hitherto unmatched daredevilry on a bike that resembles a buffalo, know that it's me.

FUNKSTOWN — So far, so good.
That seemed to be the theme of Tuesday night's meeting of the Funkstown mayor and Town Council, as officials reviewed the status of the budget for this fiscal year.
However, that doesn't mean Funkstown residents won't see increases with the fiscal year that starts July 1.
At the very least, water rates will go up in July as the town passes along a 6.5 percent increase from its supplier, the city of Hagerstown.
If revenues and expenses stay where they should be, town officials shouldn't need to tack anything more onto that water rate increase, Mayor Paul N. Crampton Jr. said after Tuesday night's informal workshop meeting at Town Hall.
Whether town officials need to raise the property tax rate again will depend on the effect of property reassessments and how the overall budget is faring, Crampton said.
During the meeting, Town Clerk/Treasurer Brenda Haynes said she had checked some Funkstown property assessments, which had decreased quite a bit.
Town officials don't want to raise any fees or taxes they don't have to, Crampton said after the meeting.
A year ago, the Town Council approved a 6-cent property tax rate increase, the first rate increase in 21 years. That put the rate at 28 cents per $100 of assessed property value.
Town officials also approved a 4.5 percent water rate hike last year, one that also affects sewer bills because water use is part of the sewer rate formula.
Hagerstown is in the midst of a five-year plan that annually raises wholesale water rates for Funkstown, Williamsport and Smithsburg through the fiscal year that starts July 1, 2013. The rate increases are to cover general inflation, operating costs and several major projects for the water system, Hagerstown officials have said.
Other steps Funkstown officials took last year to help with the budget were to cut trash collection back to once a week and reduce hours for the contractual deputy.
The town didn't fill a full-time job vacancy, either, instead hiring a part-time worker and paying $259 for state prison inmates to clean up Funkstown Community Park six times, town officials said.
Crampton said he wants to take advantage of the inmate work program again.
One expense that was up at the fiscal year's halfway mark was legal expenses, Assistant Mayor Sharon Chirgott said.
Crampton said that stemmed from bidding issues with the trash-collection contract. The town had to readvertise for trash service after confusion arose over the awarding of the contract in June 2010.

Discussion in 'Feeding & Watering Your Flock' started by melleo, May 9, 2008.
can chickens eat june bugs?
They are here in ohio already.
I suppose they can. They eat darn near everything else! I've seen one of mine eat one and she's still kickin'...
Yep, while the flock is really fussy as to what bugs they prefer to eat, June bugs are one of my flocks favorites.
They don't eat some critters that you would think they like.... but June bugs are worth a vocal appreciation.
I have a large freeranging flock..every morning when I let them out they split up into groups and head for 1. The front porch. 2. The back porch. 3. The barn. 4. The end of the driveway... what do all these places have in common you might ask??? A light that stays on all night and a bonanza of flipped over June bugs! They come out of the coop at a run, everybody off to see who will get the most tasty treats! When the season is over they don't even go to look... one or two days without bugs and they are off to dig worms at the creek again. Smart Chickens!

I just read an interesting brief in the Miami Herald this morning about how some countries are issuing travel warnings against various cities in the United States. This has apparently sparked "outrage", but then again, the US State Department is pretty good at doing it themselves. Now, the big issue was with France which is not listed on the US' list of places to be careful when traveling. Apparently the foreign ministry felt it was important to warn its citizens about the dangers of various cities, their neighborhoods, and whatever they felt was important for their citizens to know (International Business Times article here). Whether or not they make any sense, well, that's a matter of opinion. Whether or not they should be published in the first place, that's a matter of debate.
The United States Department of State currently has travel warnings issued for 34 countries (http://1.usa.gov/1bJQFCC). No, not cities… these are warnings issued for entire countries. The one for Colombia warns that although the country has become much more stable and hosts thousands of US citizens, and knows of no known threats to US citizens, there is still the possibility of danger due to narco-trafficking and gang violence, citing a car-bombing in May of 2012… a year and a half ago. There are other countries listed that are more "obvious", but then again, there is an inherent risk in traveling to any country in the world that you are not familiar with. It's important to know where to go, where not go to, how to get around safely and securely, and what information you can trust.
The fact that other countries are warning against travel to cities in the United States (i.e. New York, Miami, Washington DC, Detroit, etc) is not a surprise. However, those cities listed should be as offended as those countries which the US lists on the State Department's website. So the question is, what is the real purpose, and even value, of these types of travel warnings issued by governments? Are they for risk management purposes? Can the government just say "hey, we warned you!"… but when someone gets caught up in the violence within countries not listed, would the government just say "oops… we didn't know"?
Personally, I do not see the value of making generalized statements about countries and the supposed risks that may be involved. I am not saying there is no absolute value in knowing this information, but if you are going to provide useful information to your citizens, provide a portal with the facts and figures and let people decide for themselves… for all destinations. If Fodors, Frommers, AAA, Mobil, Lonely Planet, and dozens of other publications (let alone the thousands of websites) can provide deep insight into what to expect in the 200+ countries around the world… you'd think the government could do something on an even more simple scale? While risk management is important, these warnings are capable of creating impacts that go beyond safety. They can hinder a destination's efforts in trying to promote itself not just to travelers with tourism dollars, but also from investments from corporations into the local economies. Governments already provide plenty of restrictions when it comes to travel, but when it comes to travel warnings, maybe they should let the traveler do the work and assume their own risk.

Sorry, no definitions found. Check out and contribute to the discussion of this word!
Sorry, no etymologies found.
Like a lot of the other intertextualism floating around these days, it will have to be carefully explained.
First saw this word here, in this context:
"Once again, liberals fail to understand the simple concept of "intertextualism".
Or they do understand it, and they follow Bill Clinton's most enduring quote "Deny, deny, deny."'
After searching for meaning, I found the word (and meaning, sorta) here: What is Semiotics?
"The second approach can be called "intertextualism". Attention is transferred to the relationship between texts. The notion of the "text" itself is universalising: it is claimed more or less categorically that the whole world is a text. The elements constituting a particular text are thought of as borrowed from and referring to other texts. It is not immanent structure but Reference and Quotation that become the main subject of interest and the generators of a text's meaning. Analysis is directed not to the relations between elements within the text but to the relations between elements and their constellations within a "semiotic universum" containing in itself all real and potential texts."

There are so many cleansing products in the marketplace today. It takes no effort at all to find one that goes after chemical pollutants, or one that goes after metals, or one just for the liver and so on. This product is designed to cover multiple facets. It contains
Cracked Wall Chlorella One of the best natural cleansers out there. The stool is one of the most efficient ways to remove toxins from the body. Chlorella is widely known for its ability to gather all sorts of toxins, almost like a magnet, and carry them through the intestines and out of the body. This action also paves the way for cleaner blood and healthier red blood cells. In addition to addressing general toxins, Chlorella is green food and, as such is composed of high amounts of protein. These proteins have special characteristics in their ability to gather heavy metals, pesticides, and chemicals and carry them out of the body. Whats more is that it does NOT bind with the minerals and things that your body needs, like, calcium, magnesium, zinc, and copper. This allows it to more efficiently remove the things you do not need. It is also a very popular anti-oxidant.
Magnesium Oxide and Magnesium Citrate Common ways that people are using these are primarily based around skeletal integrity and bone density, as a relaxant, and for energy production and heart conduction. In detox protocols, it is often used for its ability to remove impacted food mater, heavy metals, and anaerobic pathogens without the pushing and scraping like psyllium. It also is rumored to be used by NASA to detoxify the digestive tracts of astronauts in preparation for space travel.
Milk Thistle With its high complex of bioflavonoids, it is known the world over, and with a massive amount of clinical research, for protecting the cells of the liver by blocking the entrance of harmful toxins and helping remove these toxins from the liver cells. Other notoriety has been given to Milk Thistle for protecting livers from the effects of alcohol or a polluted environment or workplace, functioning as an antioxidant to neutralize free radicals that cause cell damage as well as by stimulating protein synthesis. Milk thistle is considered a natural antioxidant, helping to detoxify a wide range of potentially damaging contaminants, including drugs, alcohol, and a wide variety of chemicals.
Blend of herbs Nettle, Dandelion Root, Cilantro, Grape Seed Extract, and Ginger Root. These herbs have benefits primarily based in
· Cleansing the urinary system.
· Addressing waste in the liver as well as the gull bladder and kidneys.
· Purifying the blood.
· Diuretic benefits (with protection against loss of potassium).
· Removing obstructions from the spleen, pancreas, and other organs.
· Heavy Metal removal from the body and the brain
· Fight viruses, allergens, and carcinogens
· Cleans the skin and protect skin cell membranes
· Cleans the colon and add elasticity to the it and other organ tissues
Blend of Enzymes Serrapeptase, Protease, Bromelain, Papain, and Nattokinase. These are for
· Further cleansing of the liver, blood and kidneys.
· Fibrin removal
Alpha Lipoic Acid Included for its numerous benefits in chelation therapy. This includes Mercury and other metal removal. It crosses the blood brain barrier. It also can go into fat cells, a significant storage facility for toxins, and neutralize toxins.
N-Acetyl Cysteine - NAC is a potent antioxidant. It also works exceptionally well for liver support because it helps increase glutathione levels and helps neutralize toxins. It is eliminates both metals and free radicals from the body. Therefore, it is an important tool for detoxification of not only metals, but also alcohol and other chemical toxins. Many also use this to aid in boosting their immune system and go after free radicals.
Zeolite As many others do, this ingredient helps with heavy metals in the body. An equally significant benefit brought to the table with the inclusion of this ingredient is its ability to target radiation. The Zeolite molecule is shaped like a honey-comb and carries a natural negative (-) charge. When ingested into the body all of the positively charged (+) heavy metals, toxins, and harmful chemicals bond with the zeolite and are flushed out through the urine.
Selenium - it is a valuable mineral that protects against mercury by binding and inactivating it. It is also an essential nutrient for helping your liver detoxify carcinogenic chemicals.

New global crisis likely without reform - ex-Bank of England governor Mervyn King.
Reporting by Andy Bruce, editing by G Crosse
Reporting by Andy Bruce, editing by G Crosse
Mervyn King addresses the audience of the 'Lord Mayor's Dinner to the Bankers and Merchants of the City of London' at the Mansion House in London June 19, 2013.
A new global financial crisis is certain to occur and without reform, it is likely to happen sooner rather than later, according to former Bank of England governor Mervyn King.
King, who headed the BoE when the world's financial system almost collapsed in 2008-09, said only a fundamental rethink of the monetary and banking systems could avert another crisis.
"Without reform of the financial system, another crisis is certain, and the failure ... to tackle the disequilibrium in the world economy makes it likely that it will come sooner rather than later," King said in an extract of his new book published by the Sunday Telegraph newspaper.
He added that global central banks were caught in a "prisoner's dilemma" - unable to raise interest rates for fear of stifling the economic recovery, the newspaper reported.
The BoE has held interest rates at a record low 0.5 percent for the last seven years.
Darkening global economic prospects and ructions in financial markets have pushed out investor expectations for the first BoE rate hike into 2019 - an outlook some policymakers view as too pessimistic given continued steady growth in the British economy.
King was succeeded in 2013 by Mark Carney, who on Friday warned that moves by central banks to cut interest rates below zero risked creating a "beggar-thy-neighbour" environment which could leave the global economy trapped in low growth.
Unbelievable gall from one of the global elite who participated in the crash of the world economy. A Bilderberg supporter proposing a reform of the economy by doing away with cash and checks, covering up their tracks. The present Chancellor of the Exchequer is also an ardent Bilderberg member.
