Incorporating some heat injection along with solvent injection appears to bethe most viable option for improving the oil-drainage rate of vapour-assistedpetroleum extraction (VAPEX) in extraheavy-oil formations. This study wasintended to quantify the maximum possible increase in VAPEX drainage rate thatcan be obtained by heating the formation to a target temperature. Theexperimental phase of this study involved conducting VAPEX experiments in alarge high-pressure physical model, packed with 250-darcy sand, using propaneas the solvent. The physical model was preheated to 40, 50 and 60°C, andpropane was injected at the same test temperature but different injectionpressures to observe how injection pressure affects oil-drainage rate atelevated temperatures. In the experiments at elevated temperatures, but withoutincreasing the injection pressure, higher rate of oil production was achievedin the early stages of the process. However, a stabilized rate of oilproduction did not show pronounced improvement caused by a lower solubility ofpropane in the oil at higher temperatures. Increasing injection pressure alongwith increasing the test temperatures was successful in accelerating the oilproduction. The oil used in these experiments was found to become mobile withthe increase in temperature even without solvent dissolution. As a result, thetotal rate of oil production appeared to be controlled by two mechanisms: (1)by solvent dissolution and oil mobilization at the boundaries of the vapourchamber and (2) by pure free-fall gravity drainage beyond the vapour chamberwherever gravity head was sufficient to push the mobile oil toward theproduction well. The results of this these tests define the upper limit of oilrates achievable with heated solvent injection. They can also be used to assessthe applicability of VAPEX to warm reservoirs naturally (e.g., in Venezuela)and reservoirs with mobile oil in place.

Query record
|Information on Immigration, Investment, Education and Residence
|What are the admission criteria for American universities?
Which are the most critical?
In the United States, it is impossible to determine the matching of American universities by only one indicator.
More often than not, the admission criteria of universities in the United States are self-determineD.Today, let's take a look at NACAC's enumeration of the factors that affect admission to some American universities.
There are 19 criteria, which can be divided into four categories:
the most important, the most important, the consideration and the non-consideration.
The most important criteria of every university in the United States are different, which reflects the different admission styles of each university.
To sum up, the more important indicators are:
Rigor of secondary school record, Academic GPA, Standardized Tests, Class Rank, Recommendations, Application Essay, Extracurricular Activities and so on.
American high schools adopt the elective system and the credit system.
Different students in the same grade have different difficulties in choosing courses.
Admission officers hope to understand the difficulty of the courses students take and use this index to better evaluate their academic ability.
According to the data, 37 universities in the top 100 of the US News ranked the difficulty of students'secondary school courses as the most important criterion, which shows that most schools value the gold content of curriculum performance.
Secondly, GPA is also very important in school, which is more important than students'SAT / ACT.
Among the top 100 universities in US News, 35 schools ranked this as one of the most important standards.
Standardized examination is also one of the factors to measure.
It mainly refers to TOEFL/IELTS, SAT/ACT, AP, SAT2 and so on.
High-score candidates have strong competitiveness in applying for schools that value standardized examination.
In addition, class ranking is the only comparative indicator.
From the perspective of admission criteria, some top universities rank class ranking as an important admission criterion.
A good letter of recommendation and preparation of application documents are also important.
It is better to choose those who can write out students'talents, personality and academic skills.
From the determination of the recommender, the emphasis of the description of different recommenders, to the writing of the recommendation letter, all need to be carefully carveD.In addition, extracurricular activities, whether there are alumni, relatives, volunteer activities, whether I am the first generation of college students in my family, and the degree of interest in applying for school are all related.

Xandros provides a very good range of software but not quite as much as other distros, such as Libranet. Open Office is the default office suite, RealPlayer, XMMS and other multimedia goodies are included as well.
Following the trend of customizing desktops for each distro, Xandros uses Mozilla as its default browser, not Konqueror. And it uses Mozilla mail as its default email client, not KMail. Mozilla works well though, it's better on a wider range of sites than Konqueror and it's more stable.
The Linux version of AOL Instant Messenger is bundled with Xandros and an icon for it appears on the taskbar. We didn't care for AIM though, our preferred IM client is GAIM (more on that later). But most people will be happy to use AIM even though it lags behind the Windows version. Xandros also included Yahoo Messenger, an ICQ clone and an MSN clone. So you'll probably be able to use whichever IM service you prefer.
Xandros Networks: Xandros' version of Click N Run
Xandros also includes an application called Xandros Networks, which is similar to Lindows Click-N-Run. Essentially it's a front-end that delivers apt-like functionality and allows users to easily download patches and new software. Xandros will charge a yearly subscription fee but the price has not been set. It will be very interesting to see how the Xandros Networks tool develops. Right now it's less slick than Click-N-Run but seems to be on the right road.
To access Xandros Networks we just clicked on the icon on our desktop and it loaded automatically. We were able to install Tux Racer without a problem. A nice touch: Xandros Networks lists all the software we've already installed and makes it pretty easy to remove or update the software. Although not there yet, It has the potential to be as good as Lindows' Click N Run.
We hope that Xandros continues to develop Networks, it's great for newbies and non-techies. It could do with a snappier name, though — Xandros Networks is pretty dull.
Apt: Skipping Xandros Networks
Since Xandros is Debian, apt is available as an alternative to Xandros Networks. However, Xandros has changed the sources list for apt to default to Xandros servers only. Some regular Debian servers are included but they are commented out in the sources list. We had no problem removing the # sign so we could connect to the regular debian servers. We then added some additional servers to broaden the range of available software.
Experienced users will enjoy having apt. It's one of the best things about Debian distros like Xandros. In some ways we think that Debian based distros like Xandros and Lindows (and to a less extent in terms of hand holding, Libranet) provide the best of all possible worlds. They provide tools that make software easily accessible and configurable to newbies and non-techies. But they preserve powerful tools like apt for more experienced users that don't need any hand holding.
Gnome, Gnome…wherefore art thou Gnome?
One thing we definitely didn't like: no Gnome (although it is possible to run Gnome apps. As Dan Thompson in the ET forum said about Gnome people "Gnome is our home." We seriously hope that Xandros will include a well-done Gnome desktop in future releases. At least, oo its credit, Xandros didn't just shove a lame version of Gnome into the like SuSE just did (see Opinion: SuSE Insults Gnome Users).
Matt Larose, a spokesman for Xandros, said that the company is considering adding the Gnome desktop to future releases. No definite decision has been made though. Let's hope that there is enough pro-gnome feedback that Xandros decides to include it soon. Gnome people might want to drop Xandros a note asking when Gnome might be added (email@example.com).
Just for the heck of it, we installed Gnome 1.4 via apt and actually had a working Gnome desktop (see the screenshots) in about 20 minutes that retained most of the menu entries of the KDE desktop. Some things like Xandros Networks didn't function on our Gnome desktop though no big surprise since they were designed for KDE. But it was certainly possible to run pretty much everything else just fine in Gnome 1.4.
If we could create a Gnome desktop (albeit a slightly hobbled one) so easily via apt, it should be a snap for the people at Xandros to come up with a real winner.

Play Free
There is hardly a person who hasn't heard about Achilles or the Trojan horse. The slot Achilles is based on these historical events, offering you to join Achilles and try to conquer Troy. It is a classical RTG slot with 20 pay lines and 5 reels offering you to wager up to 5$ in each line, which makes it possible to win 100$ in one time plus you can always be the lucky one to get the jackpot!
How to play
The player's task is to match 3 or more identical symbols, featuring Troy related icons, like shields, Trojan horse, the city of Troy, beautiful Helen, etc. The symbols have to be not only identical, but also stand in the same pay line. The wild symbol is represented by сourageous Achilles, and the scatter symbol is featured as the city of Troy. If you're lucky to get it you can expect some big prizes.
Tips and Strategy
coupon code: SLOTSGAMES
If you hit the slot symbol or the image of the city of Troy 3 or more times you are granted free spins and you can multiply your winnings. But the biggest payout can be achieved after hitting the slot symbol 5 times in the same pay line or, of course, in case you win the jackpot, which is triggered randomly every time you place a bet. This slot provides the biggest possible win per spin which equals 40000 times the amount of cash wagered for a bet line.
Achilles is a pretty standard slot game, nevertheless very popular among the gamblers due to the comparatively high pay out rate and jackpots, which sometimes can be skyrocketing.

Mill Creek cabin is the most accessible cabin on the Livingston Ranger District. You can drive to it all year. It is even plowed to in the winter The cabin site was set aside in 1910 on 32 acres and was built by the Yellowstone Ranger District of the Absaroka National Forest in 1927. The cabin was built as a temporary stopping place for Forest Service officers while traveling. In 1958 it received electricity making it the only cabin on the Livingston District with power. It is a 20 x 14 foot one bedroom cabin with two bunkbeds or four beds, a woodburning stove, an electric stove and oven, running water to it in the summer, a front and back porch, and an outhouse. The interior of the cabin also includes includes electric lights, a table, and 2 chairs and a bench. The front porch has a picnic table and benches. Like the District Rangers of old, when leaving the site, you leave it clean. That includes packing out garbage, stocking up kindling and firewood, and leaving the area around the cabin better than the way you found it. The cabin is located off the Mill Creek Road but overlooks the creek. It sits across the creek from the Snowbank Campground. It is also located 1/3 of a mile from the snowmobile parking area, where the county stops plowing the Mill Creek Road in winter.No bedding is provided. Remember to bring food, drinking water, flashlights, propane fuel canisters for lantern, toilet paper, soap, matches, newspaper to start fire, and other miscelaneous camping gear. Combinations are changed at unscheduled intervals. It is the cabin renter's responsibility to call the Livingston Ranger District (406)222-1892 for the current combination 7 days prior to reservation date. Combination lock on the back door of cabin.Check-In time is 2:00pm the day of your reservation. Check-Out time is by 12:00pm the day after your last reserved date.

The Mill Creek Cabin is located southeast of Livingston in the Paradise Valley. To reach the cabin, drive south from Livingston on Highway 89 for approximately 15 miles. Turn left (east) on the Mill Creek Road #468. From there, it is approximately 12 more miles to the station. The cabin (marked as the Mill Creek Work Center) will be to your right, just before Snowbank Campground. The first 6 miles of Mill Creek Road are paved, with the remainder being gravel. The road is plowed in the winter to the Snowbank snowmobile parking area beyond the cabin. Elevation at the cabin is 5755 ft.

Two things lipstick isn't meant to be: lumpy or hairy.
But that's what several online purchasers claim they found upon ordering new beauty products from YouTube beauty blogger Jaclyn Hill. Hill's cosmetic line, Jaclyn Cosmetics, launched two weeks ago, and fans were clamouring to try out her wares.

But instead of raving about the new products, several customers took to social media to complain, with the majority of the dissent focused on the lipstick. Some even posted pictures to accompany the negative reviews, which described the lipstick as "lumpy" upon arrival — and worse still, some images appear to show little hairs sticking out of the lipstick.
Here's a sample of the social media reaction:
Jaclyn Cosmetics was quick to issue a statement about the faulty product.
"The response to the launch of Jaclyn Cosmetics has been incredible. Of the incredible volume of orders that were placed at launch, we believe less than half of one per cent of orders were impacted by compromised product," read the statement.
"We are actively reaching out to our customers with questions and concerns and have added to our customer service team to make sure that any questions are swiftly addressed. We are keeping an eye on the Jaclyn Cosmetics social channels and firstname.lastname@example.com, and welcome all feedback. We love our customers and are proud of our successful launch."

Hill herself tweeted an explanation for the cosmetic conundrum on Saturday after she received a lot of backlash from fans, and the blogger blamed the presence of hair on the assembly factory workers' gloves. She was apologetic and offered to right any wrongs, even admitting she acted "unprofessionally" when first confronted with the lipstick issues.
She has offered full refunds to anybody who received a faulty product.
Jaclyn Cosmetics launched 20 nude lipsticks as part of its initial brand launch, each going for US$18. Despite the issues, they are all sold out on the website.
Hill is a preeminent beauty blogger on YouTube, and she's been around since 2011. As of this writing, she has 5.9 million subscribers.
Global News has reached out to Jaclyn Cosmetics for further clarification on the products.

In my women's health practice, we frequently see cases of miscellaneous joint aches, injury-related pains, swelling of the bursa (called bursitis), and bona fide osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. There are other causes of joint pains of course…but they are less common.
Joint inflammation and/or degeneration are not generally considered "women's conditions." But it's important to note that arthritis and other joint conditions are far more common in women than in men, and are therefore on the top 10 list of health concerns for many women. In fact, nearly twice as many women (26 million) suffer from arthritis than men (14.2 million).
These conditions can have dramatic effects on a person's quality of the life, causing pain, limiting activities, and sometimes causing depression and insomnia because of the pain. Joint pain and stiffness can turn otherwise pleasant and enjoyable activities into unpleasant ordeals. Day-to-day activities—like kneeling in the garden, opening jars and cans in the kitchen, swinging a golf club, writing letters, playing the piano, knitting, needlework and other hobbies—can become more and more difficult.
Osteoarthritis, also known as degenerative joint disease, is the most common form of joint disease and is characterized by erosion of the articular cartilage—and after the age of 45, it's more common in women than in men. Osteoarthritis often comes with aging and wear and tear of the joint, or from factors like an inherited abnormality of the joint, fractures along the joint surface or previous inflammatory disease of the joints.
Osteoarthritis was previously considered a degenerative disorder, in which the joint "just wears out." But recent research has shown that the joint cartilage is very active—at least in the early part of the disease—and continues to repair itself. It is now thought that the disease can be halted and may even be reversible, at least in some individuals.
Rheumatoid arthritis, on the other hand, is a chronic inflammatory condition that affects the joints and sometimes other parts of the body as well. Women suffer from rheumatoid arthritis about three times as frequently as men. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune reaction in which the body's immune system attacks the joint tissues. Just what triggers this autoimmune reaction remains largely unknown, although it is most likely contributable to more than one factor.
Rheumatoid arthritis can begin at any age, but is usually first diagnosed in women between the ages of 20-40. The typical onset of rheumatoid arthritis is gradual, but occasionally it can come on suddenly. Although swollen, stiff, painful joints are the hallmarks of the disease, fatigue, weakness and fever may also precede the joint problems. As the disease progresses, the joints of the hands and feet can even become deformed.
Weight management, physical activity that does not traumatize the joints and a low-inflammatory diet are fundamental to managing joint pain. A low-inflammatory diet is low in saturated fats and trans-fatty acids while emphasizing good fats from fish, as well as whole grains, fruits and vegetables (except the nightshade family—potatoes, eggplant, peppers and tomatoes), and deemphasizing foods high in arachidonic acid (e.g. egg yolks, dark poultry meat).
It's also important to identify any food allergies and sensitivities, especially in the case of rheumatoid arthritis. Eliminating allergenic foods will very often offer significant benefit to many individuals with rheumatoid arthritis. Almost any food can aggravate this condition, but common offenders are wheat, corn, dairy products, beef, food additives and nightshade-family foods (as noted above). Avoiding the nightshades also seems to help many women with osteoarthritis. In fact, reducing my own twice-weekly intake of the "lover's eggplant" dish at my favorite Chinese restaurant cured me of my own joint pains.
Supplementation with key nutrients and herbs is the next step to reducing pain from these types of arthritis.
Lubricate the joints with good fats
In addition to changes in diet and exercise, I usually prescribe a combination of supplements with therapeutic effects for the joints. I commonly start with essential fatty acids, including borage, evening primrose, black currant and fish oils. I typically receive good feedback from my patients on these oils, and some even say they just feel like their joints are "better lubricated."
Quality oils and fats are as important as vitamins and minerals in maintaining our health and in the prevention of many chronic diseases, not just arthritic conditions. They are therefore a valuable addition to any diet, but are especially important for people with arthritis.
Additional supplements
In addition to essential fatty acids, I regularly use many other nutritional supplements and herbs for therapeutic benefit, including niacinamide, glucosamine sulfate, chondroitin sulfate, SAMe and herbs such as devil's claw, yucca, ginger, boswellia and curcumin.
Curcumin is a constituent of the plant turmeric, and is receiving a lot of attention and research these days for its use in arthritis pain. Even in a condition as potentially daunting as rheumatoid arthritis, curcumin is showing positive benefits. Look for high-absorption/high bio-availability curcumin products on the market.
A multi-faceted approach
Treating joint pain requires patience and a multi-faceted approach. The first step is determining the cause of your joint pain. A qualified practitioner and perhaps even a rheumatology specialist should be able to offer a reliable diagnosis.
Pain management may involve using some of the conventional pharmaceutical medications, even if only intermittently. Nutritional and herbal supplements are very useful in all kinds of joint pains, but remember they are not "magic bullets." And the fundamentals of diet, exercise and weight management can be a very important addition to your regimen.
Although additional research is needed in the area of alternative treatments for joint disease, the evidence that we do have is very encouraging. My own observations and experience in clinical practice are also very rewarding in terms of patient feedback. Their improved quality of life, increased activity and improvement in many day-to-day symptoms are a frequent reminder of the wisdom of nature and the ability of the body to heal.

The Brisbane arm of a Texas-born anti-abortion group is preparing to spend the 40 days of Lent protesting outside a Bowen Hills abortion clinic, likening their fight to the battle to abolish slavery. '40 Days for Life' bills itself as the "last line of pro-life defence"; its roster of participants aim to man stations outside clinics on every day of the pre-Easter Christian period of prayer and fasting.
Most Americans can hardly believe we're having a national debate about birth control in the 21st century - more than 50 years after The Pill became available and decades after condoms became as commonplace as, well, balloons. The reason for the incredulity is because we're actually not having a debate about birth control. To repeat: The debate is about freedom of conscience. It ain't about The Pill.
Perth's Catholic Archbishop, Barry Hickey, has sparked fresh debate about raising children in non-traditional families.
Perth Catholic Archbishop Barry Hickey says child abuse and neglect are on the rise because more children are being brought up by parents in "unstable" de facto or same-sex relationships. Archbishop Hickey, who expects to step down by Easter after resigning last April, warned against "damaging alternatives" to traditional marriage, such as same-sex unions and single people who use in-vitro fertilisation to have babies. But WA's main welfare group said the causes of child abuse and neglect were more complex than whether parents were married and no one form of relationship provided a more safe, nurturing environment than another
The NSW Community Services Minister, Pru Goward, says her department does not need more caseworkers despite staff fears about the impending loss of workers on short contracts and a temporary freeze on external appointments.
An Australian gay couple have had their six-year-old son taken from them by child protection authorities in Los Angeles while the FBI and Queensland Police investigate allegations that they are members of an international paedophile ring. The men, who insist on their innocence, have told the Herald: "It looks really bad."
Well, what did anyone expect? Facebook removes harmless pics of Aussie mums breastfeeding, and what, we're surprised? Gee, who'd a thunk that a massive corporation that exists to profit from banner ads wouldn't share our values? Facebook's moral universe is admittedly rather haphazard. Its automatic boob-detecting software got onto those breastfeeding Mums much quicker than the site had on other occasions removed pages dedicated to hate and vilification, or pages that cruelly mocked the innocent dead.
A US woman accused of killing her infant son by breastfeeding him after she used methamphetamine has pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter. The Times-Standard of Eureka reports that Maggie Jean Wortman, 27, entered her plea on Monday as part of a deal with Californian prosecutors. An autopsy on six-week-old Michael Acosta III found that the infant died of ''methamphetamine toxicity'' on November 21, 2010. He had been found not breathing earlier that day and had been taken to hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
A Wyndham man has become the first West Australian to be charged under new laws allowing residents to declare their homes alcohol-free. Ten homes across the state, mainly in the northern Kimberley and Pilbara, have been declared "restricted premises" by their occupants since the law was introduced last year as part of the Liquor Control Act. Wyndham police Sergeant Brad Warburton said three homes in the East Kimberley town had opted to be alcohol-free.
The Victorian Commission for Gambling Regulation's decision last week to approve a new 65-poker machine venue in Castlemaine, despite unprecedented local opposition, exposed a political and legislative regime configured to deliver more pokies into the community, no matter the social cost.
Equality advocates have welcomed the Senate's support for what they believe is a "winnable way forward" for same-sex marriage. The Legal and Constitutional Affairs committee was established "on the voices" without opposition from either major party. Australian Marriage Equality National Convener, Alex Greenwich, said he has spent the first week since the return of parliament meeting predominantly with Coalition MPs and the response has been encouraging.
The Liberal National Party leader Campbell Newman has played up his religious beliefs during an address to Christian church leaders in Brisbane. Mr Newman also spoke out against "sexualised" billboards and reaffirmed his party's opposition to civil partnerships between gay couples during an election pitch at an Australian Christian Lobby (ACL) forum on Wednesday. Mr Newman told the forum that he was not a good churchgoer but he believed in God and said grace every night.
LNP leader Campbell Newman says he's honoured to be addressing the ACL event. "I'm going to talk a lot about family and we must talk about values; we must talk about shared values," he says. "Particularly we're talking about the need to strengthen our community and help those in need, the disadvantaged of our community."
Queensland Labor has denied it snubbed a Christian lobby group's forum, saying a Labor minister had been rejected by the group for political reasons. The Australian Christian Lobby (ACL) claims Ms Bligh and Deputy Premier Andrew Fraser snubbed Christians by declining to attend Wednesday's event at the University of Queensland.

Kevin Rudd is refusing to grant an interview to the ABC's Four Corners program as both sides of the leadership divide grow increasingly paranoid about an upcoming episode about Mr Rudd and Labor. Supporters of the Prime Minster, Julia Gillard, worry the episode, due to be screened on Monday night, will serve as a launching pad for Mr Rudd's ambitions while the Rudd camp fears a hatchet job on the Foreign Affairs Minister.
The bonds between the government and the Greens are strained by complexities. Some involve the relationship between the two. Others involve subterranean pressures in the party that now holds the Senate balance of power. Bob Brown leapt to Julia Gillard's defence on Monday when speculation over her leadership reached new heights as politicians gathered in Canberra for the return of parliament.
Greens leader Bob Brown has lost a bid to head off an inquiry into his relationship with Wotif travel giant founder Graeme Wood. Mr Wood made the biggest single donation in Australian political history when he gave $1.68 million in kind to underwrite the Greens' 2010 television advertising campaign. Senator Brown's effort to overturn a ruling by Senate president John Hogg was backed only by his party, as the government, opposition and other crossbenchers voted against.
Harry Jenkins - who explained quitting the Speaker's job by saying he wanted to be more involved in policy - has urged backbenchers to speak up, and criticised the executive for trying to tie them down in their electorates. He also says Parliament should sit more often.
Anna Bligh has ditched her supposed opposition to "pay-per-view" functions by attending a fundraiser for one of Labor's most marginal members. The $200-a-head function was held at the headquarters of McInnes Wilson Lawyers, which was recently awarded a $300,000 contract by the State Government. The fundraiser was aimed at raising cash for Everton MP Murray Watt, who holds the seat in Brisbane's northern suburbs by a margin of less than 2 per cent.
Rick Santorum's clean sweep of three mid-west contests for the Republican presidential nomination has magnified doubts over frontrunner Mitt Romney's conservative credentials, while guaranteeing a long and bloody battle ahead. The former Pennsylvania senator's wins in Minnesota's primary and Missouri's caucuses reflected his appeal in states with big evangelical and Tea Party constituencies. But his upset victory in Colorado's caucuses, which Mr Romney took in a landslide four years ago, stunned party officials and added piquancy to a race that threatens to run well into the northern spring.
If the Syrian president Bashar al-Assad's regime falls then thousands of Christians in the country may be killed, a Catholic MP in the UK has said, reports The Catholic Herald. Edward Leigh, the Conservative MP for Gainsborough, said that under the "nasty" regime Christian refugees from Iraq had found "a
oasis of relative calm". But following the Arab Spring uprising, he said, suspected rebels had killed a young Christian man.
Students at a public Pennsylvania university can buy the "morning after" pill from a campus vending machine, though the school's minister is working to get the dispenser off of school grounds. The vending machine at Shippensburg University's Etter Health Center that provides Plan B emergency contraceptive pills for $25 was installed after a survey found that 85 per cent of student respondents supported it, according to Peter Gigliotti, the university's executive director for communications and marketing.
A taxi driver acquitted of raping a drunk, female passenger yesterday, claims taxi drivers are routinely offered oral sex and other sexual favours as payment for fares. Prabhjit Singh Gill said the offers were commonly made and he knew of dozens of drivers who had accepted the sexual favour which were then talked about openly while drivers waited at taxi ranks.
Melinda Tankard Reist has been pilloried for her stance on pornography, as a pro-life supporter and for declared Christian beliefs. There have been vociferous calls for her to surrender her feminist badge. Tankard Reist also receives daily hate emails threatening her with acts of sexual violence.
Australia's first gay missionary church, with a congregation barely in double figures, is in schism with disaffected former members claiming it operates like a cult and could damage vulnerable people. David Witte says he was asked to leave Acts2Faith because the leadership found his enthusiasm and ideas threatening. His partner, James Nevein, left at the same time last November.
ACT Greens Leader, Meredith Hunter MLA, is calling on the ACT Government to provide an option for women's only swimming in the ACT.

About Us
F-TEC owes its existence neither to the zeal of an IT training institute nor to that of
neither a traditional Ngo nor it is a creation of a philanthropist's purse. It was
a spontaneous movement to bridge the digital divide between people who can afford
a computer training program at a high price and those who can't afford the same.
The idea was to provide a computer education to create employable skills among youth
at an affordable cost. The idea was conceptualized by involving young educated people
with small investment to open training centre supported by Foresight under the name
of F-TEC and there by transforming those youth into social entrepreneurs. The F-TEC
till date has produced more than 100000 IT skilled youth men power and continue
to the same.
India is a country with great diversity in its culture, economic structure, spending
patterns and different market structure. This divide is clearly evident if we take
a look at GDP in urban & rural areas. F-TEC has developed a three tier model to
suit in all three major segments i.e. Metro & big Cities, towns and villages. F-TEC
has developed different training programs, different cost and with a different teaching
methodology to serve the purpose of producing quality skilled men power. The three
categories of study centres are:
The F-TEC model is successfully achieving two objectives, one is creating new social
entrepreneurs with a very small investment and on the other side making available
an employment oriented IT training for youth at an affordable cost.

Nasa launches comet probe
The US space agency (Nasa) has launched a space probe which scientists hope will go some way to explaining how the planets were formed.
The launch took place successfully at Cape Canaveral in Florida, having been postponed from Monday.
The spacecraft will orbit Earth until 15 August, when it will then fire its main engine and begin its comet quest.
Closer to the comet
The target comets were chosen because of their relative closeness to Earth during encounter time - less than 50 million kilometres (31 million miles).
Comet Encke has been seen from Earth more than any other comet. Researchers believe it is a relatively old object that gives off comparatively little gas and dust.
"The key to the Contour mission is to visit a diverse range of comets, from an evolved comet such as Encke, to a younger comet like SW3, or even a new comet never seen in this part of the Solar System," said Mary Chiu of the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory.
When it leaves the Earth in August, Contour's orbit will loop around the Sun and back to Earth for a gravitational slingshot manoeuvre to take the probe on to its targets. The procedure alters Contour's trajectory and helps it reach several comets without using much fuel.
Contour will fly as close as 100 kilometres (62 miles) to the heart of each comet. To protect it against debilitating high-velocity impacts, it has a five-layer dust shield of heavy metallic fabric.
Clues to creation
Dr Paul Mahaffy of Nasa's Goddard Space Flight Center says comets are important for the clues they may contain as to the origins of the solar system:
"Essentially we can think of them as chemical fossils of processes that happened over four billion years ago when the Solar System was young and the planets were forming."
Contour will travel closer to a comet nucleus than any spacecraft ever has before.
Its four scientific instruments will take pictures and measure the chemical composition of the comets' nuclei as well as the surrounding gases and dust.
Its main camera, the Contour Remote Imager/Spectrograph, will provide high-resolution images showing rocks and other features on a nucleus as small as four metres (13 feet) across.

For those who have followed my blog for a while know that my track record on fly craft for my Space 1889 games isn't shinning. I've four ships still in the docks awaiting completion but the recent thread on the Lead Adventurers Forum sent me in to heights of uncontrollable giddiness.
So while restricted in my current painting due to domestic duties. I went out and spent some Amazon vouchers on some balsa wood packs.

Brisbane - Wallabies coach Robbie Deans said Sunday that mercurial playmaker Quade Cooper will not be one of the six additions to his squad for the Test series against the British and Irish Lions.
Deans has left open the possibility of Cooper playing a part in this month's three-Test series should injury strike key players, but did not call him into the camp following Saturday's Reds-Lions game.
"We've obviously not included him (Cooper) in the additional six at this stage, but as you've seen (with injuries), things happen quickly," Deans told reporters.
"This is a three-Test campaign and nothing surprises you in this industry.
"Quade is a huge talent; we understand what he is capable of.
"We've now settled on the squad and we'll get on with our opportunity."
Cooper did his best to confound the Lions and was at the heart of the Queensland Reds' attack, showing glimpses of his best as the tourists struggled to a 22-12 win to remain unbeaten after three tour games in Brisbane on Saturday.
The polarising Queensland flyhalf has not featured for Australia since he labelled the Wallabies atmosphere "toxic" following last September's narrow win over Argentina on the Gold Coast.
But while Cooper does not fit into Deans's plans for the Lions series, troubled fullback Kurtley Beale is now expected to be included after recent rehab for alcohol problems.
Although the final squad of 31 is expected to be named late Monday Beale and four other players - centre Pat McCabe, scrumhalf Luke Burgess, backrower Peter Kimlin and prop Scott Sio - joined the Wallabies camp Sunday, signalling their inclusion.
Deans said Beale had "presented himself in the right physical and mental shape" after a rehabilitation programme to address problems with alcohol.
Lions coach Warren Gatland spoke highly of Cooper's talents after the win over the Reds.
"He just plays with a different threat. With Quade you get the full bag of tricks. You've got to watch him - the quick taps and stuff," Gatland said.
"If someone else plays 10 (for the Wallabies), you'll get more structure."
Former Wallaby Brendan Cannon, who made his international debut against the British and Irish Lions back in 2001, said Cooper's errors on Saturday were outweighed by "an array of skills that is unmatched".
"No other player in this country can pass with the width and accuracy that he does, and that tested the Lions on numerous occasions," Cannon said.
"What we saw last night was the kind of expansive play that can defeat the Lions over three Tests."
Cooper's Queensland coach Ewen McKenzie repeated his belief that Cooper should be in the Wallabies squad.
"I know I'm biased, but I pick Quade every week and if I was picking a team next week, I'd pick him again."

Skillet Braised Greek Chicken Thighs
This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my disclosure policy.
Skillet Braised Greek Chicken Thighs – juicy and crispy chicken, kalamata olives and pearl onions come together in this beautiful one pot dish for an easy dinner.
Don't you all just love one pot wonders? I know I do, because I really really hate washing dishes, especially pots. This recipe is all about Greek flavors, especially if you love Kalamata olives. I could eat kalamata olives by the jars, though I don't because of all the salt, but I could.
I'm also in love with fresh thyme lately. It's probably quite evident since I've been adding it to all sorts of recipes. It's a very aromatic herb and quite pretty.
Braising any kind of meat basically means to first lightly fry the meat, to get that nice crispy and golden brown exterior then continue stewing it over low heat for a longer period of time. It's a really easy way to cook meat and especially with chicken thighs, you always end up with juicy fall off the bone meat. Which is what I did here.
I used my skillet again here, just to show you its versatility.
You'll need about 8 chicken thighs, I used bone in and skin on chicken thighs. You'll probably ask me if you can use skinless and boneless and the answer is of course you can. I like the crispiness of the chicken skin especially in this dish.
Season your chicken thighs generously with salt and pepper and then fry them on both sides until golden brown, about 8 minutes per side. You'll probably notice that the chicken isn't cooked through all the way, so please resist the temptation to bite into it, wouldn't want you to get sick.
You'll then want to remove the chicken from the skillet temporarily and add your garlic, pearl onions, lemons and thyme. Saute these together for a few minutes, until you notice the onions and garlic start to get tender, at which point you can throw in the olives, wine and lemon juice and then add the chicken back in.
You can now place the skillet in the oven and continue cooking until the chicken is cooked through and becomes really tender, for about 40 or 45 minutes.
The chicken will come out perfect, juicy and tender and so full of flavor. I served these with my skillet potatoes and what a meal this was. Perfect for your Sunday supper, but easy enough that you could make this any night of the week.

Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside for a few minutes.
- Add the garlic cloves, pearl onions, fresh thyme sprigs, and the lemon halves to the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes until the onions and garlic begin to soften and start to brown a bit.
- Add the olives, then the white wine and lemon juice to the skillet. Add the chicken back to the skillet, arranging the chicken so that it sits directly on the bottom of the skillet.
- Place the skillet in the oven and bake for about 40 or 45 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
Recipe Notes
- You can use skinless and boneless thighs, or even chicken breasts or drumsticks for this recipe.
- You can adjust the number of garlic cloves to suit your taste.
- If you're afraid that your chicken will brown too much in the oven, feel free to cover the skillet with foil to prevent it from browning.
- Please keep in mind that nutritional information is a rough estimate and can vary greatly based on products used. Nutritional information is based on 2 thighs per person.

In my free time, I love to opt outside in anyway possible, my main passion being rock climbing. Unlike other places, you will never find lines or signs pointing to the climbing spot in Wyoming. Wyoming gives a unique experience, where you must earn your climb by trekking through rugged trails to reach the isolated outcrop.
When it gets too cold to climb, I enjoy learning about the stock market. I have both long-term investing positions include Apple, Ali Baba, and AT&T. My short term trading is focused on commodities.

This past Saturday, Glenn Beck traveled to Washington, D.C., where he stood on the steps of the Capitol and issued a call for national "revival." Unlike revivals of the past, however, this was not a purely Christian revival – the kind where believers are called to the mission field, or new believers get baptized, or churches grow and multiple to reach more of our neighbors for Christ.
Instead, this "revival" sounds like a syncretistic blend of church and conservative politics. And as much as I think that the conservative "agenda," generally speaking, derives its values from Christian ethics more so than does the liberal agenda, I think that Glenn Beck's desired "revival" would actually reflect a hijacking of the true Gospel. Christ did not come to earth to see certain laws passed and others struck down. He did not come to earth to advocate for a certain political party, or mindset, or agenda. He did not predestine Republicans for glory and Democrats for damnation. To claim otherwise – to tie evangelicalism or Catholicism (or Mormonism) to politics in hopes of advancing your agenda – demonstrates a gross misunderstanding of exactly what Christ came to do and exactly what Christians (should) seek to accomplish in the world around us.
Dr. Russell Moore goes into more detail here.

Egypt and Jordan will soon be cooperating in the nuclear energy field. Egypt's minister of electricity and energy, Ali Al-Saedi, announced on Wednesday, June 6, that Egyptian Nuclear Energy Agency experts will assist their counterparts in Jordan to establish a Jordanian Atomic Agency.

"Barbaric acts against humanity."
Posted by Alison Willmore on
We're a little scattered today, though we've managed to confirm that our English relatives are all intact — saved by generations of being mired in the suburbs, at last. Our thoughts go out to everyone in London, especially Uncle Roger, who's a fireman there and who's probably having a particularly terrible day today. BoingBoing has links to a chorus of text and photo blogs, which we'd recommend over BBC and CNN in terms of immediacy of coverage.
With a typical mixture of excellent and terrible timing, Armond White steps again to the plate with an article on "the new war movie" that went live today over at the New York Press. Sort of about "Occupation: Dreamland" and "Gunner Palace," and sort of about the summer's blockbusters (which he prefers), the piece is actually stirring, though admittedly we're feeling a little soupy today.
In "War of the Worlds," the moment of a son's willingness to sacrifice or the chain of responsibility that is formed when civilians grab a soldier who is pulling a father out of the clutches of death (democracy as a lifeline) are among the most amazing meditations in any war film. Amazing because, like "Gunner Palace" and the best parts of "Occupation: Dreamland," these images allow viewers to struggle through the complexities of this anxious experience. Movies that deny the imperatives of the day are worthless. Filmmakers that hold on to Vietnam's cynical spectacle—as in the overrated release of "Apocalypse Now Redux"—are worthless, too. A new kind of war movie should be like the lightbulb in Guernica, illuminating our current traumas and politics by bringing the issues home and personalizing them; supporting us all as soldiers.

Chef Brett has had a few busy weeks with school, wrestling practice, Awana and family time. However, he was itching to get back in the kitchen, and we figured today was the perfect day. A rainy and windy fall day, is what the snickerdoodle cookie is made for! =)
This is a super easy, kid-friendly recipe. And I'm not kidding when I say these are AMAZING! I've already had three. Don't tell.
1.5 cups sugar
1/2 cup softened butter
1 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
2 3/4 cups flour
1 tsp cream of tartar
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
Topping Ingredients:
2 Tbsp sugar
2 tsp cinnamon
Heat oven to 400 degrees. In a large bowl, combine sugar and butter, beat until light and fluffy.
Add vanilla and eggs; blend well. Add flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt; mix well. In a small bowl, combine the toppings ingredients--sugar and cinnamon. Shape dough into 1-inch balls and roll in the topping mixture. Place 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes. Immediately remove from cookie sheet.
Brett accidentally did equal parts sugar and cinnamon, which is why his cookies turned out so dark brown. They were super good that way, though!!
I'm serious. These are incredible!! We made them slightly bigger than the recipe stated, but they'd easily make 2 dozen if you kept them true to size.
Hope you enjoy them as much as we did!!

So Delicious Dairy-Free Cashew Ice Cream
A few days ago a package arrived in the mail, and it was probably the most exciting thing that has ever happened to me. Why? Because it was filled with So Delicious dairy-free cashew frozen desserts and coconut whipped cream! Thank you So Delicious!!
I've been trying out the three different flavours they sent, and it's been a very tough job 😉 But seriously, they are all amazing. The first one I polished off was the Salted Caramel Cluster ice cream. It was the bomb- and I would not just say that unless it was 100% true. My parents tried it too and they loved it and both came to the conclusion that it tasted like a regular maple-pecan ice cream. I don't see how anyone could not be into this. You would never know that it's dairy-free. I had mine with a side of local raspberries because…balance? Hah.
The chocolate truffle flavour was so rich and even had little truffle-y swirls in it. I'm actually not one to ever pick chocolate ice cream as my top choice, and I was pretty surprised at how much I liked this one. I topped it with coconut whipped cream and cherries. The whipped cream is pretty awesome….I could eat it by itself. It's almost like a dairy-free version of Cool-Whip. You can store it in the freezer and thaw it out in the fridge when you need it. You can even re-freeze it afterwards.
Lastly, the plain 'cashew' flavour was like a nice neutral vanilla. I think it would be great with some raw chocolate sauce, or in a banana split.
I would highly recommend giving these treats a try this Summer!

Earning a bachelor's degree used to be a near-guarantee of financial stability and professional opportunity. Employers sought out talented graduates, provided them with additional on-the-job training, and set in motion promising career paths. Today, the paradigm has shifted–and employers expect experienced workers who are capable of doing the job from day one. But rarely does the college classroom develop that ability. As a result, a growing number of grads find themselves adrift, thousands of dollars in debt, and facing an uncertain job market, ultimately leading moms and dads to wonder: Why did I pay all that money?
In There Is Life After College, Jeffrey J. Selingo, author of College (Un)bound, provides a step-by-step plan full of practical advice that every young professional can follow to jump-start a career. Full of tips, advice, and insight, There Is Life After College is a wise, commonsense guide for the years from the end of high school through college graduation that will help every student–no matter their major or degree–find real employment.

Artifact from the archives: 1954 RCA Victor requisition order for the {ahem!} legendary Mambo For Cats album cover illustration. The work was commissioned by label art director—and longtime Flora buddy—Robert M. Jones, who signed the PO (fee unspecified). The finished sleeve encased a 12" slab of vinyl, we seem to recall.
This iconic Flora design was featured in The Mischievous Art of Jim Flora, and has recently been marketed as a t-shirt, a fridge magnet, and a fine art silk-screen print. It was also featured full-page in Eric Kohler's 1999 book In The Groove: Vintage Record Graphics 1940-1960 (Chronicle), although the colormatching is inexact. Copies of the original LP fetch beaucoup bucks on eBay. Oh, and it was an alt-universe postage stamp, too.

Australia registered a thrilling seven-run victory against South Africa in the second One-day International (ODI) at the Adelaide Oval on Friday. The nail-biting contest witnessed terrific on-field action from both the teams. Australia's Pat Cummins reaction to one of the dismissals during the Proteas' run-chase grabbed eye balls. The bizarre incident took place in the 44th over of the South African innings when Australia went for an LBW review against David Miller. The left-hander was trapped in front of the stumps by Marcus Stoinis but was originally ruled not out. Skipper Aaron Finch went for the review and the third umpire over-turned the decision of the on-field umpire. During the long-pending decision the Australian camp was curiously looking at the big screen. Soon after the decision was displayed on the screen, the whole team went up for celebration except Pat Cummins, who surprisingly continued to look at the screen.

Aaron Finch (44), Chris Lynn (47) and wicket-keeper Alex Carey (47) helped Australia post 231 runs on the board before being bowled out in the 49th over. Stoinis was the pick of the bowlers for Australia, ending the match with figures of 3/35. Pacers Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood grabbed two wickets each. David Miller (51) and skipper Faf du Plessis (47) were the top scorers for South Africa. The final match of the ODI series will played in Hobart on Sunday.

We all recognize the value of monitoring business outcomes, but how can KPIs be used effectively in a marketing context? If you're struggling to introduce accountability into your department or to identify opportunities for improvement, consider establishing some goals that define success for each of your brand initiatives. The first step in adopting KPIs is to specify the conditions or outcomes those programs are intended to achieve. Only then can you determine whether the data you're collecting validates or challenges your strategy.
If you're managing a paid search campaign, designate the click-thru rate you're targeting, as well as the number of leads and sales conversions you hope to achieve. It may be painful to place that degree of pressure on your team, but without goals no amount of data can provide definitive performance into your efforts.
Once you've pinned down your objectives, begin amassing data. Almost any kind of internet user activity is traceable via Google Analytics, CMS tools or CRM platforms. Social media platforms offer robust metrics. But some important data points require painstaking record keeping.
For instance, your sales and marketing teams are responsible for tracking leads as they progress through your sales funnel. The most
Here is a list of more key metrics to collect:
You're probably already collecting some of this data. The key is to organize it systematically, to review it consistently and weigh it against your target objectives. Assign responsibility to department personnel for compiling the data into a digestible format and schedule quarterly reviews to assess performance.
If the data shows your programs aren't achieving your goals, then determine whether continual investment is warranted. Can improvements be made through modest modifications, or does the entire strategy or campaign need revamping? Don't cling to an ineffective strategy out of stubbornness. Acknowledging the failure of one effort frees up resources for other, more successful initiatives. Double down on what's working and be willing to relinquish what isn't.
We've already mentioned a few benefits of installing KPIs. When you define success criteria and evaluate performance, you can improve poorly performing strategies and allocate more resources to proven ones.
In addition, KPIs and performance data provide the following benefits:
If you're struggling to justify your marketing recommendations to a board or superior, appealing to hard data provides the scientific objectivity needed to bolster your case and prove your success. It's also one of the best ways to establish your value as an employee.

Since the Xbox One launched last November, Microsoft's latest game console has changed pretty dramatically. From "going all-in" on Kinect to offering a camera-less $400 model; from focused on TV and home entertainment to appealing directly to "core" gamers. The last year for Microsoft's Xbox division has been one massive pivot. The future sounds brighter.
You've already read about the updates coming to Xbox One this fall. What about beyond that? Head of Xbox Phil Spencer offered us some possibilities in an interview this week at Gamescom 2014. What about, say, a version of Steam's massively popular Early Access program, which enables developers to release games still in development and gamers to participate in the development process? "I think it does make sense. I think we have to land it the right way on console," Spencer told us. That's certainly a start!

Introduction: Classic Heat Exchanger
Designing and building a heat exchanger can be complex. Especially if it has to be compact, if it has to have a large cooling / heating capacity or if the efficiency plays a crucial role.
However, in many applications neither criterium is extremely critical.
This instructable will show you how to build a "classic" heat exchanger. Classic because you can find calculations and guidelines about them in almost any basic engineering book and it is darn simple to build.
The materials are cheap (PVC drainage pipe) and it can be easily enlarged or reduced to fit your cooling or heating capacity.
I used mine to protect the inlet of a vacuum pump by condensing liquid from an air stream.
Step 1: What Do You Need?
The basis is a "one shell, one pass" type of exchanger. If you require more cooling / heating capacity you can lengthen the assembly, or choose to increase the number of passes (by widening the outer tube for which this procedure does not change).
* 1 outer pipe PVC, 32 mm. If you require more passes, choose a large size.
* 1 inner pipe (Aluminium OD 10 mm).
* 2 T-pieces (PVC, 32 mm))
* 4 pieces of PVC pipe (4 cm long). These are the connectors between the T-piece and the end caps.
* 4 end caps (PVC, 32 mm)
* 4 spacers (rings diameter 30 mm, 10 & 12 mm hole)
* 2 water pipes (Copper OD 12mm)
* 4 self made Rubber plugs (Alternatively: cork of a champagne bottle, styropor/styrofoam or polystyrene).
* PVC glue.
Step 2: The Inner & Outer Tube
Picture 1
Glue the 2 T-pieces directly onto the PVC pipe (in this stage pay attention to the configuration).
From now on, the procedure will describe only one half of the heat exchanger as the other one is identical.
Picture 2, 3 &4
Place the two spacers into both sides of the T-piece. Glue the PVC connectors in the T-piece and thus locking the spacers in place.
Picture 5
Insert the Aluminium pipe. This will nicely stay in place due to the spacers.
Step 3: Closing the Heat Exchanger
Picture 1
Fabricate the rubber plugs (or cork of a champagne bottle, styropor/ styrofoam or polystyrene). Ensure a very tight fit as they will act as a sealing plug.
Drill holes in the end caps.
Picture 2
Fit the rubber plug over the Aluminium pipe and push it (hard!) into the connector.
Apply glue to the end section of the PVC connector and apply a large blob of glue to the wall of the Aluminium pipe. Slide the cap, whilst rotating, over the connector. Once it is dry, you can start with the water connection.
Picture 3
Install the water pipe, install the plug, and glue in the similar way as described here above.
Step 4: The Connections
Rig up the hoses, test for water leaks and go !!
Best is to operate the heat exchanger in a counterflow mode (bottom to top).

That's a good idea, you got there. It's very much like the ones I built one time when I broke my foot where I worked. They didn't believe in lost time injuries. So I was stuck in the shop making a lot of these things but, ours were all copper. As they were used to push steam heated oil into a blast furnance to keep the iron pool hot. The things worked like a charm.
how effective is it? what is the cooling rate?
That depends on a lot of factors: temperature difference, flow rate, direction of flow, type of fluid...
I haven't measure it but since it is a classical heat exchanger, you should be able to find on line calculators to predict the cooling rate under certain conditions.
Many thanks, bertus52x11, for inspiring me to build one of these contraptions. You can see it on my home chemistry instructable on step 7. I will post my distilling apparatus instructable at some point and will give you all the credit for the heat exchange tube.
If your distilling anything to be consumed, aluminium would not be wise.
Sorry if you already know this but I thought I'd say just in case.
Hehe. I wouldn't dare eat anything I manage to cook up in the kitchen, much less in the lab!
Yes, it's always good to emphasize that aluminium, high temperatures and food do not go together.
He, that's nice to hear!
If you post it, maek sure to remind me and I'll send you a patch.
bt it is very expensive i thing?
That depends...
Some might find it expensive. You can build it for less than 10 euro.
Where does the heat go?
In short: it leaves with the water.
It's a heat exchanger, so it exchanges heat from one medium to another.
In this case, hot air enters in the right handside of the exchanger and flows through the Aluminium tube to the left handside exit. Meanwhile cold water flows through the copper tube into the PVC chamber (from below to the top). Heat is transferred from the hot air stream through the Aluminium pipe to the water stream.
The air is cooled, the water is heated.
ok, thanks. So heat goes in through the air, transfers to the water. Air going out is cool and the water going out is hot. Okay. No need for reply.

9 foods to avoid when creating a healthy lifestyle
As a mother of 5, and very health conscious I am always researching what we should and should not be eating. I do admit I not a fanatic, my kids do have a little sugar at time, last night I had a few potato chips watching a movie with the family. But as a whole, we concentrate on whole foods, balanced nutrition in our home. My kids know the difference between a treat and something that is part of our "diet". And I take time out to explain to them why we eat certain things and why there are others that are a strict NO. I include them in the grocery shopping and stick as much as possible to the outer isle, where all the whole live food is.
I think for the most part we all want to be healthy, making informed decision is crucial to good health, make sure you know what you are putting in your body.
The point of eating is to provide the cells of our body the nutrition they need to preform their daily functions. We see to often people in the world today who are over fed and under nourished.
We need to EAT to LIVE & not LIVE to EAT!
Where to start getting the information to making the right choice, listening to the media can be sometime quite confusing. Butter or margarine? Organic & Not? Sugar or artificial sweeteners?
I hear people all the time saying , "you hear that everything is bad, so what's the point?" , "the water & the air is polluted, are lands are depleted….."
I look at this way, I cannot control everything, but the things that I can I will! It will make a difference in the end.
When I research health one of my favorite sources of information is Dr. Mercola.
In his new letter today he shared an article about the 9 junk foods that most people think are healthy.
Canned tomatoes *Processed Meats*Margarine*vegetable oils*Microwave popcorn* non-organic potatoes or other produce know for high pesticide contamination*table salt*soy protein isolate and other unfermented soy products & artificial sweeteners.
I am personally gonna touch on a few of these before I share the article for you to check out for yourself.
So #1 I am so guilty of this one, I love making my homemade soups from scratch & do not use bouillon or stock. Unless It is from a roast, or chicken that I have cooked myself. So for me this is one I will have to work on, living in a smaller northern town, can be challenging for freshness & price.
If you love your popcorn, invest in an air popper. In the end you will save money and you eliminate all the toxins associated with microwaving, especially in those bags that it comes in.
Organic veggies VS non-organic, yup organic cost more.
Health is costly these days, but lack of healthy will cost you even more in the long run. Now what if you don't have access to organic produce where you live. I know for me this is a huge issue, I would have to drive over 2.5 hrs away if I wanted to buy organic. Sometimes you need to make the best with what you got. So in the summer I plant a garden and try to grow most of my own, but I do not produce enough to provide for my family all year-long. So when I have to buy fruits and veggies that are not organic, as soon as I get home, I will soak them in water (sink full) and vinegar (1 cup) – this may not remove everything but it removes some of the impurities, it's always about moving towards something better, not necessarily perfection!
Artificial Sweeteners – is something I feel very strongly against.
My kids are not allowed to chew gum because most on the market contain this "poison". This one is the biggest of the no-no's in my house, this one to me is a non compromise. The first article I read about artificial sweeteners was 16 yrs ago when I was pregnant with my first child. It was about a research done showing that artificial sweeteners metabolized as alcohol in undeveloped blood stream, and that in some extreme cases a child could be born with FAS (fetal Alcohol Syndrome) from a mother over consuming artificial sweeteners. Now does this happen often, NO, but why would you want to risk it! There are better alternatives out there. That was enough to make me wonder if this is true what other damage can these artificial sweeteners do to our bodies?????
Soy- is the other one I will give my two cents on.
Being lactose intolerant my whole life, I choose as a young adult to switch to soy. Well it did not take long before I was sicker than before. Stomach cramps, headaches… so I eliminated soy from my diet and things go better. I will not go to deeply in to this, but the commercialized soy that we see being market in most grocery stores, is processed & most soy is GMO (this does not mean that all the worlds soy is but that the convenience products found normally are). Process foods are bad. Soy has been shown to interfere with hormones in women and so many other negative health effects. So again this is a personal choice but this is one that I personally stay clear of.
I hope you found value in this post today. If you are truly looking to improve your health, I invite you to CLICK HERE take a look at the article that Dr. mercola shared today!
Wishing you all a happy, healthy day.
And to all the wonderful dads out there HAPPY FATHER's DAY!

E! Entertainment Fires Crew For Invading Brad Pitt's Home
The camera crew entered Pitt's estate, presumably not realizing he was away on location. E! fired them because you're not supposed to actually invade a celebrity's home. Invading Pitt's privacy and harassing him from the second he walks out his front door and fighting to get pictures of his children and chasing after him in cars and filming him again as he gets out of his car and goes into another building and then waiting outside for him and filming him again as he gets out and yelling out taunts and insults to get a rise out of him (as tabloid photographers do) and then chasing after him and then filming him as he picks up his kids at school and then chasing after him and filming him as he rushes back into his home? That's fine as far as E! and the rest of the tabloid press are concerned.
