The seed is where it all starts. We use multiple types of seeds from different suppliers. We do not knowingly buy or sell genetically engineered or modified seeds or plants. We use open pollinated, hybrid and organic seeds. Less than one hundredths percent of our seeds (pumpkin and some squash varieties only) may have been treated with an anti fungal coating to protect them from rot and disease.
Pesticides We do not apply any pesticides or herbicides to our vegetable plants.
Growth Retardants We do not apply any growth retardants to our vegetable plants.
Fertilizers We use Nature's Source 10-4-3 plant food and Nature's Source Probiotics on our vegetable plants. The main ingredient is non-GMO oilseed extract, a renewable source of plant nutrition. It is blended with additional nitrogen, phosphates, potash, ammonia and urea nutrients to create optimally balanced nutrition for plants. Contains less than one present synthetic fertilizer.
Open Pollination - Open pollination is pollination by insects, birds, wind or other
natural mechanisms. The seeds of open-pollinated plants will produce new generations
Hybrid - Hybrid pollination, a type of controlled pollination in which the pollen comes from a different strain (or species), can be used to increase crop suitability.
Organic - Organic seeds are seeds that have been produced entirely through organic practices by a certified organic operation. In order to be sold as such, they must be produced by such a facility, which has been certified by an accredited government agency.

In this class our professional theater staff will lead non-actors through acting exercises and scene study in order to tap into the confident, self-assured person living inside each of us in a fun, playful, and relaxed environment.

Past Classes
Intro to Performance taught by Rebecca Noon
Tuesdays, 7:00 – 9:00 pm, September 18 to November 6, 2018
Before an actor begins telling stories in front of audiences,they must learn to be comfortable on stage. This involves accessing a variety of tools that most of us don't use in our daily lives. In this class, we will explore these time-honored techniques used by all actors, including creating intention, connection with another actor, comfort and ease on stage, building a character, improvisation and following impulses, and utilizing sense memory. The class will culminate in monologue work that will focus on each student's individual needs and strengths.
Intro to Improvisation taught by Jordan Butterfield
Wednesdays, 7:00 – 8:30 pm, October 3 to November 7, 2018
Improvisation is the craft of building theater spontaneously through collaboration. You also use improv in everyday life – in theater, it's just under odd given circumstances. While humor is not its goal, improvisational theater can be hilariously funny. This class will focus on the basics of improvisation, including accepting and building, creating a world to play in, and establishing point of view.

Glamping vs. Camping by Gina Chen
I found this post last year and thought it perfect to share with you:
Glamping vs. Camping: Which camp are you in?
By Gina Chen
June 11, 2007
A friend passed along this link to me, and I just had to share it with my virtual friends. It's about "glamping" -- glamour camping.
It's camping without the hardship. Imagine -- China dishes, fluffy bedding, hand-rolled truffles. That's glamping
My question: Are you a glamper or a camper?
As for me, I'm a camper convert. When my husband and I married nine years ago, I was an avowed non camper. Give me room service, heated towel racks and a fully stocked mini-bar, thank you very much.
I hated our first camping trip to Alexandria Bay for one night in a microscopic tent while I was pregnant with our first. I grew up near New York City, so the downstater in me just couldn't get past that idea that there was no lock on the tent. Plus I had morning sickness to beat the band.
But I have grown to love camping -- even when it rains. I love feeling like I don't have to put on makeup. I love how cozy I feel inside my sleeping bag when it's pouring outside. I love the feeling of relaxation I get when I feel like I'm the only people in the world.
We regularly "car camp," but this summer I've agreed to go on a real camping trip (sans bathrooms.) We'll kayak in and kayak out. I'm actually looking forward to it.
But that doesn't mean I don't love a luxury weekend at a spa where I can get pampered and prepped and dine on fine foods and wine. What about you?
For a look at the opposite of glamping, check this out. This guy goes into the wild with few provisions and just roughs it. That's the kind of camping my husband prefers. He's going on a solo camping trip this summer to the Adirondacks that will be a little bit of Survivorman.
Glamping And Camping
by Ruth Chase
June 2010
So though I would love to see my newly painted toe nails at the end of one those luxury beds in a fancy tent the kind that defines Glamping. The reality is that that is not where we as a family choose to spend our money. So to go camping every month in the summer/fall/spring we find ourselves at a campsite that costs a whole lot less. However that doesn't make me give up on Glamping. No Way! it motivates me even more. Taking a few luxuries that make camping more comfortable.
- A quality sharp knife to prepare food with
- Good pans from the kitchen
- One feather bed to lay on top of my airbed and one to sleep under
- A bigger tent to have room to stand in plus the dog
- And excellent food, no short cuts
You mix that with all that nature has to offer and you have an amazing trip that's not all that roughing it, if you know what I mean. Yeah yeah sure, you go fishing, long hikes, kayaking during the day but back at camp your right at home.

HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR PORTRAITS AND HEAD SHOTS in PHOENIX, AZ
Two years ago, Jeremy Cowart started a movement called, Help-Portrait and it has taken off like wildfire across the globe. This is the kind of movement that really speaks to me. I did a session the first year and though it was very small, it was awesome. I had the privilege of photographing some people with very interesting backgrounds. Some of them were guys looking to get their lives back together after spending time in prison. They were each given a nice, professional headshot to send to their families. I shot a family whose mother and son had just been reunited for the first time after she was released from prison. I photographed another family whose father had just finished a discipleship program and was looking forward to moving forward from there with his two sons.
It was a great experience to give that gift away. They paid nothing. The prints and the frames were donated along with my time. This year, I want to crank it up more than just one notch. I want to ratchet this event up exponentially.
If you are photographer, please consider being a part of this amazing event. If you are a videographer, please consider being a part of this event. We can use the services of hair-stylists and makeup artists. We can use people to assist the photographers. Food and refreshments would be a fantastic addition. Greeters and conversationalists are welcome. We can use your help to register people and make sure we know how and where to deliver the photos. We can use donations for prints. Basically, what I am saying is…everyone can be a part of this. You can serve any way you like. Just be there on that day. Your presence alone can be an incredible gift.
This year, the world-wide Help-Portrait event is being held on December 10th, 2011. What will you be doing on that day? Please consider being a part of the Help-Portait experience. Follow my blog for more information. If you want to serve with us, please contact me. I, along with my friend, Scott Savage will be planning this event and we hope to see you there.
Please join me and give this Christmas away by giving presence.

Taylors Falls Lighting Festival-2016
November 25, 26, 27
The Friday after Thanksgiving marks the day when the picturesque town of Taylors Falls, MN becomes a "Christmas Card Village" The Taylors Falls Lighting Festival began in 1985. The quaintness of the downtown, nestled between the Dalles of the scenic St. Croix River and a wooded hill, gives it a Christmas card quality, and just the right size for a winter festival.
The Lighting Festival is held each Thanksgiving weekend when families are home for the beginning of the holiday season. The official opening is the Friday, 6 PM grand lighting of main street and Santa Parade including floats, Arnold the large walking puppet, school children, music and more, with Santa arriving in the last unit of the 25 minute parade. The Royal Lady of the Village is announced at the parade.
Stores and restaurants are open, holiday booya served, Santa greets the children at Santaland and there are special activities for the children of face painting, balloon animal making, free tractor and horse drawn wagon rides for caroling and more. Families from near and far have made this weekend festival part of their holiday tradition.
The Friday, Saturday and Sunday Festival includes craft fairs, Christmas at the 1855 Folsom House Museum, a private historic home, several different displays, an ecumenical Choral Vesper Service, family Bingo, and a giant bonfire and snowman making.
Each year the Lighting Festival produces a limited edition ornament around the festival theme and is available for $12 at various downtown businesses.
This year's Taylors Falls Lighting Festival ornament is a real maple leaf preserved in 24k gold. In 1857, W.H.C. Folsom, and his wife Mary Jane, planted maple trees on Angel Hill. At least one still stands.
Our communities are also known for abundant maple trees with autumn foliage ranging from golden yellow to brilliant reds that attract many visitors every year. The $12 ornament is available at Coffee Talk, Taylors Falls Bead Store, PetroPlus, Barb's Hair Care, The Yarn Bank and at various Lighting Festival events.
- The 1847 McKusick Holiday House is the first time this house has ever been open to the public. Did you know this house was originally from Stillwater, MN? Visit this beautiful historic home.
- Mrs. Claus is reading to the children at the library BEFORE the parade this year! Keep warm before the parade and enjoy the wonderful stories.
- The Pleasant Valley Cloggers will be starting their performance at 5:15.
- There will be a puppet show, Saturday, 1pm at the 1861 Methodist Church.
- Green Fire Irish Dancers will be performing at the community center, Sunday from 1-3pm. After their performance they will lead us in a ceili dance. Ceili dance is the Celtic version of a square dance and it's a lot of fun!
- "A Laura Ingalls Wilder Christmas" will be performed by the Festival Theater.
Three fabulous and very different Craft Fairs are part of Taylors Falls Lighting Festival
- Friday, Nov. 25 1 – 8 PM Holiday at the Depot Art & Craft Sale, Memorial Community Center

The five sources of English law are:
- Legislation
- Case law (precedent)
- European Union law
- Custom
- Legal texts
Legislation and case law are the most important sources, although European Union law takes precedence over English law in certain matters. Most customs have either been fallen into disuse or have been integrated into statute or case law. Legal texts can be regarded more as aids to interpreting the law rather than actual sources of law.
Legislation comprises:
- Primary legislation: Acts of Parliament also known as statutes. This is the most important source of law.
- Secondary legislation: Also known as delegated legislation, these are laws created by local authorities and other public bodies that have been given powers to make regulations for specific purposes by Parliament.
The legislative functions of Acts of Parliament or statutes consist of:
- Codification: includes law that may be found in common law, case law and statute into an act of Parliament.
- Consolidation: merges legislation split between various statutes into one.
- Law reform: statutes can be used to change or repeal existing legislation or to overturn precedent (case law) set by the Supreme Court.
- Revenue collection: Parliament introduces a Finance Act every year following the budget.
- Special legislation: updates legislation to keep pace with social change.
Every piece of legislation starts life as a Bill and before it can become an Act of Parliament or statute, the Bill has to go through a lengthy approval process in both houses. Bills can start in either house.
A bill can be introduced in two ways:
Government Bill: the government decides to introduce a Bill as a result of recommendations from the Cabinet, a Committee, a Royal Commission or by public demand. The proposals are set out in a document called a Green Paper which is a preliminary discussion document. Once the Green Paper has been discussed, feedback is incorporated into a White Paper which is the proposal presented to the House.
Private Members Bill: individual MPs can present a Bill to Parliament. Most private members bills do not become law but a handful of them have become important pieces of legislation.
The Bill goes through a lengthy process of discussion and debate, amendments and votes at every stage of the way. A Bill can be voted out at various points in the process or it can just be amended. If the Bill makes it past the third reading and final vote, it's passed on to the other House where the process is pretty much repeated. If the Bill started in the House of Commons it will be passed to the House of Lords and vice versa.
If both Houses approve the Bill, the Prime Minister presents it to the Monarch for her to sign it. This is called Royal Ascent and at this point the Bill becomes a new Act of Parliament or statute.
Overview of the law making process
Parliament confers powers on individuals and public bodies such as local authorities, to make their own regulations. Delegated legislation is enacted by those individuals or bodies who have been given authority to introduce the legislation. Delegated legislation saves time because it's not subject to the lengthy process involved in passing an Act of Parliament but its scope is limited.
Parliament gives other bodies the power to make delegated legislation with a parent (or enabling) act.
Advantages and disadvantages of secondary or delegated legislation
- Regulations can be made quickly without undergoing the lengthy approval and voting process involved in Parliamentary law making.
- Allows Parliament to concentrate on other matters.
- Provides flexibility because regulations can be revised and modified as required.
- Makes the best use of expertise in specific areas.
- Vast amounts of legislation can be produced.
- Takes legislation out of the democratic system by allowing people other than elected MPs to make law.
- Can be hard to keep pace with all the delegated legislation being created.
Types of secondary legislation
- Statutory Instruments are a form of legislation used to bring into force or alter Acts of Parliament. They often complement the Act itself by providing additional detail. Each statute or Act of Parliament has a Statutory Instrument that determines when the legislation comes into force, sometimes different parts of an Act may come into force at different times. Statutory Instruments include Rules, Regulations and Orders.
- Rules set out procedures to perform certain actions, for example, The Civil Procedure Rules.
- Regulations are used to legislate specialised areas and to comply with European legislation directives.
- Orders are used to bring legislation into force.
- By-laws are passed by local authorities and other public bodies, they are mostly local and restricted to the relevant area. Many by-laws are made under the authority of the Local Government Act 1972. Common examples include laws regarding parks, footpaths and public spaces such as those forbidding drinking or smoking in certain places.
- Orders in Council are made by the Monarch and the Privy Council which is a body made up of senior politicians, judges and members of the Royal Family. Orders in council are used for:
- Dealing with urgent matters and emergency measures;
- Dissolving parliament before an election;
- Bringing acts of parliament into force;
- Compliance with European Union directives;
- Dealing with foreign affairs; and
- Transferring power from Westminster to the Scottish Parliaments and the Welsh assembly.
Controls over delegated legislation
Judicial review is exercised by the Queen's Bench Divisional Court, which exercises supervisory powers over the decisions of government ministers. If the court finds that the legislation is ultra vires (exceeding its powers) the court can make an order with the effect of making the legislation void.
- Substantive ultra vires – The legislation can be challenged in the courts if the law has been created outside the powers of the body that created it or constitutes an abuse of power by public authorities.
- Procedural ultra vires – If there is an argument that the correct procedure was not followed when the law was made, the courts can step in and may decide that the delegated legislation is ultra vires.
The court cannot make an order substituting the ultra vires legislation, this means that new legislation will have to be made following correct procedures and complying with any parameters set by the enabling Act.
Delegated legislation can also be declared void if they conflict with European Union legislation.
Case law is made up of judgments or decisions made by the higher courts interpreting the meaning of statutes. They are also known as precedents or authorities and are binding on all inferior courts and in some cases, on courts of the same level. See court structure for more information about the English court system.
The doctrine of judicial precedent is based on the idea that it's not up to a judge to make law, that's the function of Parliament. Judges should decide cases in accordance with existing rules which have been applied to similar cases. See appeals and precedent for more information on case law.
The UK joined European Union (EU) in 1973, and from that date accepted its obligation to implement European throughout the country and fulfil its obligations under the Treaty.
EU legislation has become part of English law. It does not replace English law, however, it can override those parts of the law that may be against it. If there is a conflict between EU law and English law, EU law will prevail. Some people regard this as an erosion of the sovereignty of Parliament, since the UK has to obey EU law even though it hasn't been created by our elected representatives.
European legislature
EU law is created by three European bodies:
- The European Commission draft the proposals.
- The European Parliament debates the proposal and can accept or reject it, or puts forward its own amendments.
- The European Council of ministers enacts the legislation. It can accept or reject the European Parliament's amendments and make amendments of their own. The proposal becomes law once approved by the Council.
Types of EU legislation
There are three basic types of EU law:
- Regulations are binding acts similar to national law (such as English law) which apply to all EU countries. They are binding in the UK even if this country has not enacted legislation to that effect.
- Directives set out general objectives to be achieved by all EU countries but leave it up to the individual country to make their own laws to implement the directives. The UK has created its own legislation to implement a number European Directives, an example is the Working Time Directive.
- Decisions refer to specific matters brought in front of the European authorities and are only binding on a specific member state, an individual or corporation.
Customs are common habits or behaviours observed by society. Customary law is the oldest form of English law and the foundation of the Common Law. Customs can apply to the whole country or to a local area.
Nowadays, custom as a source of law has largely disappeared as most customs have been incorporated into legislation or precedent, however, there are occasions where the courts may need to determine whether something can be regarded as a custom. To establish whether a custom exists or not, certain rules are applied.
Requirements for a custom to be valid
The custom must:
- Have existed since time immemorial. In English law, this has been fixed as the year 1189. It's not possible to apply this test rigidly for obvious reasons and the party that wishes to argue against the custom must show that the custom did not exist that far back.
- Have existed continuously without a break.
- Have been exercised peacefully and as of right, without the use of force or the need for permission.
- Be reasonable.
- Be certain.
- Be consistent with other customs.
- Must not be contrary to any law (statute).
These are books written or edited by eminent lawyers who are regarded as authorities in their field, for example:
- Joseph Chitty, best known for Chitty on Contracts, the pre-eminent reference work on contract law.
- Sir John Salmond, the author of Salmond on Torts , regarded as a legal classic.
- Albert Gibson, well known in the area of conveyancing.
Although these texts do not constitute sources of law as such, they are often referred to in court and used by judges to decide on obscure points of law. It would be the court's decision that established a precedent but the decision was based on what was written on one of these legal texts.
Most lay people would have no reason to read or refer to these texts but it's useful to know about them.

From certified stars to up-and-comers that will soon be dominating your Instagram feed, here are 15 of the cutest animals you have to follow for your daily dose of cuteness!
Turn up the adorable on your Smartphone with 15 of the cutest animals on Instagram. These furballs will have you almost wanting to pat the screen.
1. Biddy The Hedgehog
For all the spiky cuteness you can handle, this African Pygmy Hedgehog is definitely one to follow. The gallivanting hedgehog became an internet star after Toni DeWeese and Tom Unterseher took him on holiday across America. His 645k followers watched his every adventure, and soon enough, he even had his own calendar. Unfortunately, this spiky little guy passed away in March from cancer, but his memory lives on through his 370 Instagram posts.
2. Norm
This pug takes better selfies than you, and he doesn't even need a selfie stick! Norm's owner Jeremy Veach began taking photos of his adorable pug and posting them to his Instagram account in January 2013. Since then, Norm's adventures – and the pair's signature move - the pet selfie – have helped them garner over 295k likes making Norm a certified Internet star.
3. Pirate Pug Jack
Having one eye doesn't stop a too-cute Jack from enjoying a life full of adventures! In fact, what he's lacking in the eye department he certainly makes up for with extra tongue, and his 22k followers can't get enough!
4. Hamilton the Hipster Cat
This cat is definitely more hipster than your cat. And yes, his moustache is real! When stand up comedian Jay Stowe adopted Hamilton after he was found abandoned in San Francisco, it was love at first sight, and James promptly started posting photos of his moustached puss to Instagram. 208k followers later, Hamilton now has a T-shirt deal with clothing retailer the Mountain and a newly acquired manager.
5. Buddy and Boo
The original animal celebrities of social media, doggie pals Buddy and Boo known as 'the world's cutest dogs' are serious business! With a plush toy, books, calendars and celebrity appearances on talk shows, Buddy and Boo's Facebook page clocks in at 16m, while their 508k Instagram fans dote on their every adventure.
6. Grumpy Cat
If Boo and Buddy are Kimye of the Internet animal world, then Grumpy Cat (real name Tardar Sauce) is the Donald Trump. According to the Hollywood Reporter, the perpetually peeved puss is a 'seven-figure cat', with her own intellectual property layer and management, plush toys, publishing deals, clothing merchandise and even a beverage, the Grumppaccino. Tadar is a meme millionaire and has even allowed her mum, Tabatha Bundesen to quit her job at Red Lobster!
7. Jack The Cockatiel
You're about to get out-posed by a handsome cockatiel that really knows his angles! Jack's account centres on his adventurous extra-curricular activities like skateboarding, flower arranging, or dressing up. Cockatiels are highly social animals that like lots of attention, and we're sure his 29.7k followers are giving him plenty of that!
8. Lil Bub
Bub's no ordinary cat - born with a multitude of genetic anomalities that makes her look like a cartoon come to life, it's futile to resist this little cat's charms - as her 737k Instagram followers will tell you. With her own independent merchandise line, including hoodies, designer socks and a plush toy, Bub is also a star of the silver screen, with her own feature-length documentary and talk show. She has more than 900,000 Facebook likes, 470,000 Instagram followers, and nearly 20-million views on her YouTube channel.
9. Maya The Bulldog
You want style tips? Then you need to follow the best-dressed bulldog on the Internet! Tania Ahsan began photographing her adorable new bulldog puppy and posting on Instagram around her New York neighborhood. Businesses reposted the photos, and Maya started modelling dress ups and accessories from friends. After that, Ahsan says PetSmart began sending her costumes and dog clothes to play with, and armed with a wardrobe most starlet's would envy, Maya's popularity exploded. From there, Maya's account went viral and now her 72.k followers follow her every move.
10. Sam Has Eyebrows
Cara Delevingne and her famous eyebrows have some serious competition! Sam the cat has only one expression – vexed – and it's these unusual markings that have helped launched his Internet stardom. His owner, who remains anonymous, rescued Sam the stray cat from New York and set up an online profile dedicated to Sam and his 'eyebrows'. He now has 162k followers, countless memes and sponsorship deals in the works.
11. Pricilla The Pig
Hollywood starlet's don't have a thing on Pricilla, arguably the best-dressed pig since Miss Piggy herself! Her 478k followers are schooled daily on just how to rock bows and pearls, while her brother prefers tailored blazers, naturally.
12. Tuna the Chiweenie
The 4-year-old Chiweenie, with the exaggerated overbite, recessed jaw line and a magnificent wrinkly neck was rescued by Courtney Dasher at a Farmers Market in LA when he was a puppy. A year later, Courtney started publishing pictures of the adorable little 'underdog with the overbite' on Instagram, and after Instagram featured a picture of him on their personal page, Tuna went viral. He now has 1.3m followers, and last year was ranked as the most-popular dog on Instagram. Now, he has a web shop where fans can purchase merchandise including iPhone covers, T-shirts and mugs, and Courtney leverages Tuna's fame by raising awareness for animal rescue groups.
13. Venus Two Faced Cat
Many called fakery when this puss first hit the Internet highway, but Venus is a certified modern day marvel and medical mystery. Her half-black, half-orange face appears to be split straight down the middle, with one green and striking blue eye. Another animal adoption activist, Venus has appeared as guests on Fox and "The Today Show," and she can certainly hold her own on social media; she has 364k followers on Instagram and her own line of merchandise, including a calendar and a stuffed toy.
14. Mr Bagel the Chinchilla
Mr. Bagel the chinchilla isn't just adorably cute with a huge legion of fans, he's using his Internet fame to remind his followers to adopt pets from rescue followers and say no to fur!
15. Champs the Golden Retriever
He snuggles with baby chicks, lets butterflies land on his nose, and will happily pose in dress ups – Champs' gentle spirit has been dutifully captured by his owner and dedicated trainer, 21-year-old Southern Californian photographer Candice Sedighan. Recently, Candice raised over $20k via a Kickstarter campaign for her photo book of Champ that features glossy pictures of Champs' adventures.

Why is Penclic Mouse™ better than a traditional computer mouse?
Penclic Mouse is designed to enable you to perform the smallest precision movements on your computer, whilst utilising the parts of your body designed for such movements. Penclic Mouse allows your fingers to carry out these delicate and precise movements, compared with traditional computer devices which require the user to utilise their shoulders and arms in an unnatural and unhealthy position. The likelihood of a user obtaining Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) or Carpel Tunnel Syndrome, are drastically reduced when using Penclic Mouse instead of a traditional mouse.
Does Penclic Mouse™ have the same features as a traditional mouse?
Yes, Penclic Mouse has 3-5 buttons depending on the model, and a scroll wheel.
What problems may Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) cause?
RSI is an injury of the musculoskeletal and nervous system that may be caused by repetitive tasks, forceful exertions, vibrations, sustained or awkward positions. Problems with the neck, shoulders and hands can occur due to highly controlled, static, monotonous, repetitive work.
How do I use Penclic Mouse™?
Hold the top section of the mouse like you would hold a pen. Allow your forearm and hand to rest on your working surface, whilst keeping your shoulders relaxed. The bottom part of Penclic Mouse acts like a traditional mouse.
Do I move Penclic Mouse™ in the same way as a traditional mouse?
No, you place Penclic Mouse in a comfortable and relaxed position on your work surface and only move your fingers. Imagine that you are a using a pen, and writing a letter to someone. This natural ergonomic movement is the basis of Penclic Mouse.
How is Penclic Mouse™ suited for my needs?
The pen part can be adjusted to suit specific grips. Hold the bottom part with one hand, whilst rotating the pen to the preferred angle with the other hand
Is Penclic Mouse™ suited for both left and right handed users?
Yes, R3/D3/B3 is suitable for both left and right handed users, while R2/D2/B2 is mostly suitable for right handed users.
I am a left hand user, is there anything special I should consider?
The R3/D3/B3 model is more suitable for left hand users. In your operating system you have the possibility to change between right hand and left hand use.
What is the difference between the models R2/D2/B2 and R3/D3/B3?
R3/D3/B3 has a symmetric design with three buttons and scroll wheel placed on the pen shaft. R2/D2/B2 has five buttons and the scroll wheel placed on the base.
What is Bluetooth?
Bluetooth is a predefined communication protocol in 2.4 GHz band. It allows device manufacturers to integrate the antenna and connect it with hardware from other manufacturers.
What is the difference between wireless and Bluetooth?
Bluetooth is a standard. Meaning different manufacturers can connect trough Bluetooth technology. "Wireless" can be seen as each manufacturer having its own language. Hence, the need for an USB antenna. The same frequencies 2400-2483 GHz is used, wireless networks are working on that frequency. Also, meaning sometimes they can disturb each other.
Which operating systems does Penclic Mouse™ work with?
The supported platforms for Penclic Mouse are all operating systems that support HID 1.1. These includes Windows XP or later, Mac OSX version 10.1 or later and most Linux/BSD flavors.
Do you need any extra software?
No extra software/driver installations are needed.
Does Penclic Mouse™ have the same features as a traditional mouse?
Yes, Penclic Mouse has 5-buttons and scroll wheel. The left click, right click and middle click are on the pen shaft's right side. On the pen shaft's left side the backward click and forward click for surfing are positioned.
How do I get started with my Penclic Mouse B2/B3?
Insert the batteries into the mouse and charge them with the micro-USB-cable. Set the mouse power switch on the bottom of the mouse to ON. Activate the Bluetooth connection on your computer. Search for Bluetooth devices on your computer and then activate the Bluetooth search on the mouse by pressing the button on the bottom. Once found select BT Mouse/Penclic Mouse B3 and the mouse is now installed and ready for use.
How do I start the Bluetooth connection on my computer?
In the settings on your operating system you will find the Bluetooth connection. If you do not know where to find it google "Bluetooth settings (your operating system)".
How do I start the Bluetooth connection on my Penclic Mouse B2/B3?
The mouse starts its identifying mode when you press the button on the bottom of the mouse. The LED will then flash blue and do that as long as it is identifiable.
Is there any difference between the buttons function between a PC and a Mac?
The buttons functions are based on the markets standard solution HID 1.1 (Human interface device) protocol for USB, introduced in 1999. Windows and Linux support this but unfortunately Apple has not implemented the industry standard functions beyond 2 buttons, the left click and right click. This is a known problem among mouse manufacturers. At the moment the best way to get the middle click, backward click and forward click working is to program the buttons.
When do I use the middle click?
The function of the middle button depends on the operating system and program being used. Most commonly it is used as an alternate scrolling function, allowing you to use mouse movements to scroll and open a link in a new tab. This is a scrolling function that where implemented before the scroll wheel become mouse standard. With the middle button you can scroll up and down as well as left and right just by pressing the button. Many programs use the middle button for special functions, i.e. CAD. Which scroll function to use depends on your personal preference. The difference is the feeling.
The cursor movement is too fast. Can I change the settings?
When installed, Penclic Mouse is to be used like a traditional computer mouse. However, Penclic Mouse has an extremely fast and precise reading device which may require adjusting. Either change the dpi setting (see dpi), or the Penclic Mouse can be calibrated the same way as a traditional computer mouse can be. Adjustments can be performed in the operating system of your computer or on Penclic Mouse itself.
How sensitive is Penclic Mouse™ regarding tracking?
Penclic Mouse ensures smooth movement and fast response to small movements of your fingers. The settings are between 800 – 2400 dpi depending on the model.
How do I adjust the dpi settings?
On D2 the dpi switch is located under the mouse. For R2 the dpi settings can be changed by simultaneously holding the left and right button for 3 seconds. On R2.1 hold middle and forward button, button 3 and 5, to change dpi. R3/D3/B3 has a sliding switch on the bottom of the mouse to select dpi.
Does Penclic Mouse™ remember the dpi setting if changed?
Once the power is shut off, the dpi setting will return to its default setting, 1200 dpi.
How do I know when the batteries need to be recharged?
When the battery needs recharging the LED on the mouse will display a red light. When the battery is fully charged a green light will be displayed. With everyday usage the battery will last approximately 1 months before recharging is needed. Remember to recharge the battery before you use the mouse the first time.
What kind of battery is it?
A rechargeable AAA 1.2V NiMH battery is included with the wireless Penclic Mouse. Non rechargeable AAA batteries can be used as well, LR 03/AAA/1.5V Alkaine. NOTE: Do not try to charge non rechargeable batteries.
The mouse stops working. Why?

"My confidence is beautiful"
courtesy jennie lynn "The reason I feel this picture is empowering is because I was a tom-boy growing up and even though I dreamed of being a model, I always saw myself as the ugly duckling and not comfortably photogenic. It didn't help that I was a late bloomer. I never got asked to any school dances and was very introverted and insecure. Throughout my adolescence, this translated into severe body image issues and perfectionism, which started to erode my health, causing autoimmune hypothyroidism. The qualities that ultimately empowered me were unrelenting willpower and passion. I saw my goal through to become a pro model and pro bodybuilder. This photo was taken just months after I entered my first competitive fitness competition. I now see myself as a confident, inspiring, and successful young woman, and after finally giving myself a healthy dose of self-love and achieving a positive body image, I was able to fully heal myself. This was the real win, and I endeavor to inspire millions of women to do the same!" —JennieLynn
"I am more than my scars"
courtesy michelle elman "I have had 15 surgeries, a brain tumor, a brain cyst, a punctured intestine, an obstructed bowel, and a condition called Hydrocephalus, and for many years, I always hid my scars. When I was 21 though, I decided to become a life coach and specialize in body confidence. In doing so, I realized this was the last battle I had to face in terms of my body confidence. I wore a bikini for the first time and launched my campaign Scarred Not Scared on Instagram to talk about surgery scars and unveil the silence that often surrounds chronic illness." —Michelle Elman. Here's why seeing all different body sizes is good for our mental health.

Alpha GPC is a natural physiological precursor to acetyl-choline, a neurotransmitter that is involved in memory and other cognitive functions. Alpha GPC is more bioavailable than other forms of choline and is known to cross the blood brain barrier into the brain. In the brain and other neural tissues, Alpha GPC becomes a constituent of cell membranes. Clinical studies have demonstrated that supplementation with Alpha GPC can increase the brain's synthesis of acetyl-choline. In this way, it helps to support cognitive function and mental acuity.

In Oklahoma, possession of a controlled dangerous substance is defined as the knowing or intentional possession of a controlled dangerous substance unless that substance was obtained directly, or by a valid prescription from a practitioner acting in accordance with his or her professional practice. Possession of marijuana, possession of methamphetamine, possession of heroin or possession of benzodiazapine are all considered possession of CDS in Oklahoma.
New Laws Make Possession A Less Serious Crime
Oklahoma has recently passed new drug possession laws that are less harsh than ever before. In order to understand how these laws work, you need to understand how Oklahoma classifies drugs (controlled dangerous substances–or CDS).
Oklahoma classifies its controlled substances by "Schedules" based upon the level of addictive risk balanced against medical need, and other factors. Okla. Stat. 63 §§ 2-204 et seq. These schedules include both illegal drugs and drugs that must be prescribed by a doctor.
Possession of a controlled dangerous substance without a valid prescription if one is required to obtain the drug is against the law. That means that holding onto the pain medication that you got from a friend for your back is against the law if you do not have a valid prescription for those particular pills.
Under the new law, effective in July, 2017, possession of some CDS classifications is treated as a misdemeanor. The law is a radical shift for Oklahoma, changing Oklahoma from a state with harsh penalties for possession to a state where mere possession for personal use is treated somewhat leniently by comparison. That does not mean Oklahoma has legalized marijuana. Possession of marijuana or any drug classified as a controlled dangerous substance can result in jail time.
A conviction is a misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in jail and by a fine up to $1000. In addition, if convicted, an offender must pay a special assessment trauma care fee of $100 to the Trauma Assistance Revolving Fund. Okla. Stat. 63 §§ 2-402.
Under this new law, the penalty is the same each time you are arrested for possession. There are no escalating penalties with subsequent convictions. Yet police and prosecutors might try to charge possession with intent to distribute based simply on the amount of drugs found during a search or arrest. It is important that you seek the counsel of a knowledgeable Claremore drug crimes attorney before you agree to any offers or provide any information to law enforcement during an arrest or investigation for possession of marijuana or possession of any CDS.
If you were arrested before July 1, 2017, the old penalties apply. Under the old law, the penalty for possession of a Schedule I or II substance (other than marijuana), on a first offense is from 1-5 years in prison and/or a fine up to $5000. This is a felony offense. A second conviction is punishable by up to 10 years in prison and/or a fine up to $10,000. A third conviction is punishable by a jail term from 4 to 15 years and/or a fine up to $10,000. Okla. Stat. 63 §§ 2-402.
The laws for possession have been simplified, but if convicted of possession, you could still spend up to a year in jail. It is important that you contact an Rogers County criminal defense attorney as soon as possible. Only a local attorney will know what arguments your judge may find persuasive.

The short answer is yes.
hey cc
can you help me with my philosophy prep too?
There was a time when I would've thought that this was cool.
Now I just want crack on with the work I've got on so that I can go home on time.
I am getting old.
it's a metaphysical question about potential
it's really asking 'could zombies potentially exist?' and the answer is yes, as it is with anything else that you can imagine.
Is what you're imagining a zombie? No. Because Zombies can't exist.
but even if they exist as a concept, that's still a form of existence
but that's not the question at hand. The word 'possible' in metaphysics isn't strictly the same as the general use, it's more aligned with the idea of 'possible worlds', that sort of thing.
The old twisty-definitions methodology, eh?
i don't make the rules
but philosophy is full of that sort of stuff. I think it's because lots of the terminology is taken from Ancient Greek concepts and there's not a direct translation.
You can actually by philosophy dictionaries that list terms like this to avoid confusion...
Because the OED just doesn't have a sufficient range of words to describe, our arguments?
So shoddy philosophers who get tied up in their own circular arguments see the need to make up their own dictionary so as to provide a get-out clause.
I'm with Wittgenstein in espousing ordinary language philosophy - there is nothing wrong with ordinary language as it stands, and many traditional philosophical problems were only illusions brought on by misunderstandings about language..
but Wittgenstein's writing is incredibly dense and turgid
due to the fact that he won't use specialist language.
The only confusions arise when a philosopher talks to a non-philosopher using technical terms.
Better to be
dense and turgid and correct and accurate.
Than light and fluffy and spurious and obstinate.
And don't rely too heavily on the "It's difficult to explain to a non-philosopher using non-technical terms" card.
How do you think a doctor gets his point across to a patient?
How do you thing an Engineer gets his point across to a site labourer?
How do you think a teacher teaches?JoeDiddly this'd this
i didn't say it was difficult
i just said it can cause misunderstanding and confusing if philosophical language is used.
do you go to a doctor to cut out all of those long Latin words that you don't understand?
I go to a doctor to find out what's wrong with me.
And I expect to converse with him in a mutually intelligible way.
If I wanted to learn latin, I'd go to latin lessons.
If I were going to a doctor in a foreign country with a language I couldn't speak, I'd need a translator.
We both have an understanding of a sufficient quantity of English woprds to be able to understand and answer the question "Are Zombies possible?", taken on the standard understanding of what "a aombie" is and what "possible" is.
You may well opt to use a set of definitions of "zombie" or "possible" that don't align with the standard understanding, but you need to make that clear first, if you're gonna say "no" is the wrong answer.
*words (silent p) :-)
The aim of philosophy (in this context) is to explicate the meaning of possibility
rather than create a new one. For example, would it have been possible for me to have got up at a reasonable time this morning? Now I don't think any dictionary definition could give a consensus on an answer to that question: if anything is light and fluffy, it is the dictionary definition.
You therefore need a more rigorous definition of possibility, and once you have that, it's only natural to look at its application to more outlandish questions, such as "Are zombies possible?". Although I'm not totally convinced that's what the question's getting at. Not that I have some other reasonable explanation for it, it's just that... Seriously, that's a question?
"would it have been possible for me to have got up at a reasonable time this morning?"
Is fluffy. You're right.
Standard dictionary definitions probably won't provide a firm basis for a firm answer.
That doesn't mean that the terms of that question can't be defined.
We can pin down "this morning" fairly easily if need be. And mutually acceptible statistical data would provide a basis for what is generally accepted as a "reasonable time".
None of this makes the original question any less fluffy, we're just establishing some ground rules.
In the absence (as far as I'm aware) of any statistical data on zombies, the terms of the "Are Zombies possible?" question need to be made more explicit by the person asking the question. Otherwise, to start answering anything other than "no" requires qualifications beyond the question itself. Those qualifications need to be stated.
I was only talking about the 'possible' as being light and fluffy
If anything else within the question is ill-defined, it doesn't really matter; as long as our notions of possibility are the same, we'd probably give the same answer.
"as long as our notions of possibility are the same"
That's the important bit, I wholeheartedly agree.
It was my notion that the zombie question was being extended beyond the realms of the original question, taken in it's simple form, and understood in the terms of commonly accepted definitions. Hence my request for clarifications if someone's trying to argue a "yes" answer.
There *isn't* a commonly accepted definition specific enough to answer the question, though
That's the point, and surely what the question is getting at: it's looking for an answer *by way* of definition of possibility.
Go back to my example: would it have been possible for me to have got up at a reasonable time this morning? One person might say it would have been perfectly possible in the sense that people get up at reasonable times every day, and I've got up at reasonable times in the past, so why shouldn't it be possible?
Another person might say, though, that I *didn't* get up at a reasonable time, and that's all that matters. It might have *seemed* possible, at 8 o'clock in the morning, say, that I should get up at a reasonable time, since nothing had happened by that point to prevent it, but since I didn't actually get up at a reasonable time, in retrospect we can see that it wasn't really possible at all.
Recourse to a dictionary definition of possibility isn't going to give any consensus. You might then say, okay, we need a new definition of possibility, but whatever definition we come up with had better not create the implication that zombies are possible. Considering how you've argued against circularity already, however, I doubt you'd want to do that.
I can't follow the logic
that says it wasn't possible for you to get up because you didn't actually get up.
There's every chance you /chose/ not to get up, or whatever (for whatever reason).
"Did not happen" =/= "not possible", surely.
In fact I'm not even sure that determinism is essential
but determinism definitely implies that notion of possibility.
Metaphysics doesn't exist either. So it all works out for me.
"Existing as a concept" =/= Existing.
Otherwise, you'd not need to qualify the existing bit with the "as a concept" bit.
yes you would
if there's several forms of existence.
If you're swimming in treacle it's still swimming but you qualify it because people would usually associate it with water. Likewise, people usually associate 'existing' with 'having corporeal form'.
I'm not well versed in philosophy or metaphysics so this may sound dumb
but surely part of zombies' conceptual existence is that they are fictional? Like the fact that they don't exist is part of their concept.
they're non-corporeal."Existence" and "having physical form" aren't interchangable terms.
I know
I'm just struggling to use words in some sort of intelligible sense.
So zombies 'exist' conceptually. But a central tenet of the conept of zombies is that they don't exist, they're fictional, made up. How does metaphysics reconcile that? Or does it not need to because I'm talking gibberish?
they exist as a fictional creation
it's as simple as that really. Existence doesn't require an example of something in the world.
I'm not sure I like that
The question is: "Are Zombies possible?"
There are a number of definitions of possible.
None of them include the notion of possible meaning "not possible, but possible as a concept". To go down this nonsense road of "Ceci n'est pas une pipe" is just being argumentative for the sake of argument.
Unless we a) Define Zombie, and b) Define your constraints. Any discussion is purely speculative theory about some point in the future, at best. At worst it's a twisting of definitions to suit a deliberately contrary position.
you're still side-stepping the fact that this is a very specific philosophy question
whether you agree or not with the terminology.
Anyway, read this:
Saying "read this" is not the way to explain yourself.
"side-stepping the fact that this is a very specific philosophy question"?
I'd say you're side-stepping my invitation to make yourself clear and a) Define Zombie, and b) Define your constraints.
Without doing that, you're merely discussing the question "Are Zombies possible?" rather than actually bothering to answering it.
you would say that
Although if that was meant as part of an, ahem, "very specific philosophy question" please define:
a) "you",
b) "guys",
c) "need",
d) "more",
e) "satisfying", and
f) "jobs"?
Otherwise, you're just side-stepping the issue. ;-)
'There are a number of definitions of possible.
None of them include the notion of possible meaning "not possible, but possible as a concept".'
That's false. Well, strictly it's not because to say something is not possible but possible as a concept would be contradictory, but there are definitions of possibility which equate it to conceivability.
"definitions of possibility which equate it to conceivability"
Definitions that the vast majority of the world's population would need outlining before we can begin to accept a "yes" answer.
Not really
Most intuitive way of considering possibility, if anything. Irrespective of that, however, this was a question on a PHILOSOPHY paper, and you are rejecting the notion of possibility equatable to conceivability in that context, so whether or not it matches some common sense notion is irrelevant.
I completely accept
that this was a question on a philosophy paper.
So on that basis, just answering yes or no isn't gonna cut it.
"Yes" was the first answer given, on the basis of a one word explanation: "metaphysics". And there's legs in that argument.
But I still contest that vast swathes of the discussion OF the question (and thus the philosophical debate) can be removed by better defining the terms of the question in the first place.
In the absence of those definitions the relevance of the debate is (rightly, imho) marginalised to the realms philosophty that circles on the issue of what it is that's actually being asked.
And then we're back to the assertion that much of philosophy is merely focused on merely re-defining language.
All IMHO, obv.
(Home time. I'm gone.)
Not re-defining
Existence is a secondary property, not a primary one
so it's not a central tenet at all.
As I'd already said
I don't really know any philosophy babble. The fact that they don't exist is pretty central to them if you're a philosophy layperson.
That said, I'll take your word for it as it seems you aren't a philosophy layperson.
So if there were actually things walking around the real world which match our descriptions of fictional zombies
would they not be zombies?
But the fact that zombies are the dead come back to eat the flesh of the living negates this. That's the level I went to.
a) Define Zombie
b) Define your constraints.
hi DarwinDude!
did you have a good night last night? i thought it was great.
ahaha at the conv above
philosophy's fucking gay.
There was a thing in Philosophy Now about this a couple of years ago
I was thoughtful enough to scan it in before you made this thread; I knew there could one day arise a situation where I would need it at short notice, and I guess this is it.

On Hamburgers and Hooks: How to Effortlessly FIND (Not Write) Your Compelling First Line
This is a guest contribution from Kelly Diels-Rostant.
"Where's The Beef?" asked the lil' ol' lady and in so doing launched her late-blooming acting career.
It was 1984. Clare Peller was eighty-four years old. It was her first acting gig and it was a hit. Her Wendy's spot spawned a series of follow-up commercials, launched a slew of licensing and merchandising deals (t-shirts, coffee mugs, beach towels, oh my!), and became an instant cultural catch-phrase.
It may even have turned the tide of a presidential primary. In a televised debate, listening to presidential hopeful Gary Hart talk about his "new ideas", rival Walter F. Mondale leaned forward and said, "When I hear your new ideas, I'm reminded of that ad, 'Where's the beef?'".
Mondale, not Hart, won the democratic nomination. That's the power of a pithy, provocative phrase. A hook. The beef. And your blog post has got to have it.
So let me tell you where your blog post beef is: it's the best, most quotable line of your piece, and I promise you it's already there.
Really, it's there. You already wrote it. It's just in the wrong place.
But first, a little background.
The most quotable line of your blog post could – and should – be the first line. The hook. Hook your readers.
In conventional newspaper journalism, the first line of the piece is the entire piece: Who. What. When. Were. Maybe even how and why. All in one line. The way if the reader stops reading right there after the first line (bad reader! lazy reader!), she still got everything she needed to know.
Which means she can stop reading, yes?
Is that what you want your blog readers to do? Stop reading after the first line?
So that's instructive. To write effective, compelling, must-read blog posts, accept the dramatic imperative of classical journalism and hook your reader with the first sentence. Then abandon the methodology – do NOT spill the who, what, where, when or how. At least not yet.
Write hooks, instead, which means don't give it all away the first line. In fact, don't lead with any context at all. Context can come later, in the second pararaph, or even later, in the second section of your post.

text: December/January 27 Ultimate Allergy-Free Snack Cookbook Ellen Sue Jacobson Holiday time can be especially difficult if you or your child has food allergies. Most snacks and desserts served at holiday meals or at parties are made with wheat, eggs, dairy, sugar, nuts and more. These can cause major problems with digestion and trigger other emotional and physical reactions. Enter Judi and Shari Zucker, twins who have been writing healthy cookbooks since their teens and are now mothers. They have a new cookbook from Square One Publishers entitled THE ULTIMATE ALLERGY-FREE COOKBOOK. As the Zucker twins note in their first chapter, "Allergies on the Rise," more than 15 million people in the US have food allergies, and the highest incidence is among children 18 years or younger. In this chapter, they discuss this rise in food allergies, discussing theories based on research, such as the hygiene hypothesis, that is, our tendency to live in a dirt-free world in which germ-fighting is less, the burden that medications and antibiotics add to the burden of our immune systems, and too-early of an introduction to foods that are known to be allergenic (a controversial theory). Discussing the difference between food allergy and food intolerance, listing and explaining the eight foods that trigger most allergic responses (peanuts, tree nuts, cow's milk and other dairy, eggs, wheat soy, fish, and crustacean shellfish), issues of cross-contamination because manufacturers are not required to state whether or not the food was processed in a plant with other allergenic foods (although many companies do this voluntarily), and food labeling that does require the major allergens be listed. On pages 10-17 is a terrific guide to avoiding food allergens that is worth the price of the book ($15.95). The top allergens are listed with all the places you can find them often camouflaged under another term, such as hydrolyzed plant or vegetable protein on a label may include peanut protein; all the terms for cow's milk such as whey, rennet, or lactose; ditto for eggs, such as vitellin and globulin; wheat terms such as seitan, emer, and farina; soy terms and derivatives such as lecithin, miso, okara, and yuba; and finally a list of fish and shellfish including ingredients from these foods found in sushi, roe, and some salad dressings (ex. anchovies). The chapter ends on a high note, stating that avoiding an allergic food reaction by avoiding the foods and their derivative "doesn't mean a limited diet of bland, unappealing meals and snacks¾and 2015 itsyourlifemag.com
