Faced With Pentagon Budget Cuts, Congress Finesses The Numbers
The Pentagon has to cut its budget next year. It'll start spending a lot - about half a trillion dollars still. But that's $30 billion below this year's levels. And it turns out the Pentagon and the Congress have very different ideas about what should be cut. NPR's David Welna reports on a budget battle where parochial interests often prevail.
DAVID WELNA, BYLINE: It's not like Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel did not see this coming. Earlier this week in Chicago, even before a House committee got started re-jiggering the Pentagon's budget, Hagel sounded pessimistic.
SECRETARY CHUCK HAGEL: And even as Congress has slashed our overall budget, they have so far proven unwilling to accept necessary reforms to curb growth and compensation costs and eliminate DOD's excess infrastructure and unneeded facilities.
WELNA: Still, the next day, House Armed Services Committee Chairman Buck McKeon promised he would not give in to demands from other lawmakers.
REPRESENTATIVE BUCK MCKEON: They're coming to me to plead save my base, save my armory or my factory or my production line. The numbers have finally come home to roost. I'd like to help them, but I can't.
WELNA: Except he did. The blueprint McKeon presented his committee took more than $5 billion that the Pentagon wanted to cut and put it back in the budget. The committee came up with its own cuts. Crucial readiness funding got the ax, while costly weapons programs were spared or expanded. But there was more. Oklahoma Republican Jim Bridenstine's district is home to 28 AWACS surveillance planes. He was not happy that seven were being cut, along with the Air Force reserve unit that flies them. So he tried saving three of them along with the reserve unit.
REPRESENTATIVE JIM BRIDENSTINE: This is critically important, not for any parochial interest, this is critically important for us to be able to defend the United States of America. The parochial interest here is the United States of America.
WELNA: Bridenstine said the $40 million cost of keeping the planes flying could be offset by cutting funding for the planes' spare parts. Bad idea, said Adam Smith, the panel's top Democrat.
REPRESENTATIVE ADAM SMITH: I would urge us not to begin this markup by going down that road of saying no to a cut and taking the money out of an area that is necessary to make sure that our troops are trained and properly equipped. So, I would urge a no vote on the amendment.
WELNA: Chairman McKeon then called for a vote.
MCKEON: So many as are in favor will say aye. Aye. Those opposed no.
UNIDENTIFIED MEN: No.
WELNA: McKeon himself voted aye.
MCKEON: The ayes have it. The amendment is agreed to.
WELNA: And so it went all day long, Pentagon cuts out, different House cuts in. Asked today about the hash the House panel had made of the proposed defense budget, Pentagon spokesman John Kirby did not mince words.
JOHN KIRBY: The secretary was certainly not pleased by the House Armed Services Committee markup of the budget.
WELNA: Kirby said Secretary Hagel still held out hope that as the budget moves through Congress, lawmakers will put national security ahead of parochial interests. David Welna, NPR News, Washington.

4 Noted Benefits of Using the S.T.R.E.S.S Model
The following benefits have been gathered from both the sufferers and professionals who have used the S.T.R.E.S.S. model either as a self-help tool or as a model for helping clients:
- Health and fitness. The S.T.R.E.S.S Model helps restore the body to function as intended. Emotional stress and anxiety messes up the nervous system, increases emotional fatigue and degenerates the body quickly. By using the S.T.R.E.S.S model steps, you'll achieve heightened emotional well-being, a higher level of energy, creativity, and greater life satisfaction. A sufferer who recently went through the course wrote the following feedback, "Very good, informative, eye and mind opening. I wish I had known all that 20 years ago. It would have made my life much easier and successful." Also, since stress often speeds up body degeneration, looking a lot younger has also been noted among regular users of the S.T.R.E.S.S model steps. The S.T.R.E.S.S model steps can also be adapted to bring about natural weight loss by transforming the emotional and mental pathways that reinforce weight-gain in the brain.
- Personal transformation. The S.T.R.E.S.S model takes you or your client to a new, higher level regarding emotional wellbeing, work, relationship and makes you a different person in many ways. We become what we think about all the time. Once your thought-life has been transformed, life transformation is inevitable. A course attendee shared this testimonial recently. "I have been through a lot of stress in my life - personal and professional, And it is now taking its toll on my life. This course is a life safer. Got so much out of it. I can now look forward to happiness, peace and loads of inspirational ways of coping with stress."
- Personal Growth, Influence and Recognition. If you are a therapist in practice, most clients that will come to you are more likely to have received two or more therapy interventions in the past. They have come to you to see if you offer anything different and long-lasting from what they have experienced in the past. Mastering The S.T.R.E.S.S model sets you apart from the pack by offering your clients a simple system that offers transformation and long-lasting effect than they have experienced in the past. This builds credibility, recognition and expands your practice. Every happy client often tells at least 3 other prospects about his/her experience. This then leads to more appointments for you. Your clients will value and respect you more for your helpful insight and attention to details. All of these benefits come as a result of your desire for personal growth to explore the S.T.R.E.S.S model. "The course was extremely helpful and informative. Interesting, excellent and enjoyable. It enables me to help so many adults and children within the support groups I run," J. Morgan, Parent Rep and Support Group Facilitator
- It saves money and increases practice turn-over. Many sufferers who have gone through the S.T.R.E.S.S model course wished they had attended the course many years ago, as this would have saved them not just a lot of money but also time and a lot of emotional and physical pain. As a therapist in practice, we know that word of mouth is the most effective advertising tool especially for therapists in practice. This can translate to more organic referrals from transformed and happy clients, leading to the increase in your turn-over as a practitioner.

The S.T.R.E.S.S model works for children, teenagers, adults, as well as the elderly, and you can start using the recovery steps immediately the course is over (In fact, some people experience noticeable positive transformation during the course of the workshop itself)...
Already being used in over 30 countries around the world by therapists, coaches, teachers, carers, social workers, company executives, athletes and various individuals, the model does not only transform chronic stress disorder, it also eliminates irrational fears ( that breed anxiety and depression), transforms limiting beliefs ( which often contribute to low-self esteem ad underachievement), and builds self-confidence to achieve goals in spite of obstacles and limitations...

Lead Coach & Therapist, Mind Body Breakthrough
Stress is a major problem in our societies today. Children, teenagers, parents, employees, managers, as well as many business leaders are experiencing aggravated stress like never before in their various endeavours. While the negative effects of stress in human remain unquestionable, many people especially employees and organisations are still very reluctant to openly acknowledge that they have problems with stress management. This may be due to the fear of being labeled as incompetent and unable to cope with the pressures that come with work. When stress is not dealt with straightaway but allowed to persist for too long, it can grow and become chronic, with huge destructive effects on the individual involved, the team members and even the entire business. Early intervention that identifies and heals the real root-causes of stress has been proven to be the best strategy for improving the wellbeing of people living with stress and boosting the overall effectiveness and productivity of the affected organisations. At MindBody Breakthrough, our focus is not just to help people manage stress, but most importantly to assist them in fully eliminating the underlying root-causes of stress. This course is therefore different from other stress management courses that offer coping strategies mainly. We go deeper to diagnose and totally defuse stress within the psyche using the cutting-edge S.T.R.E.S.S model. It is therefore my hope that you will find this programme very valuable to your work and life, helping you to further grow in stress-free living, while investing your expertise into a stress-free society.
To your well-being and success,Wale OladipoMindBody Breakthrough

'Sons of Anarchy': Tara makes her move and Jax goes ballistic
Those "Sons of Anarchy" writers clearly are a sadistic little bunch, bent on relentlessly torturing Jax Teller.
They simply will not cut the man some slack this season. Just when the SAMCRO president addresses - and solves - one problem, another one (or two, or three) blows up in his face.
To wit: In the latest episode, all of Jax's wild, obstacle course-like maneuvering appeared to finally reach an end point as SAMCRO snuffed out the Chinese threat and was on the brink of handing over the NorCal gun operations to August Marks. Clay is dead. Galen is no more. And Teller's long-anticipated dream to free the MC from the nasty business of firearms was, at last, becoming a reality.
But as is so often the case, thorny trouble was surfacing on other fronts. All of a sudden, Nero's crew is pressuring him to expand the enterprise and go into business with a Mayan gang from Oakland that is determined to wrest the gun operation from Marks. (A major war on the horizon?) They don't approve of Nero being so wedded at the hip with Jax and rather prefer the idea of "brown helping brown."
This development makes for interesting timing given that, later in the episode, a mournful Juice - having nearly overdosed on Oxy - makes a stunning confession to Nero: Under Jax's orders, he smothered Darvany to death in the cabin. Wow. We've been wondering all season when, or if (and how), Nero would learn of this heinous move. Now, in the next-to-last episode, it has finally happened and it's bound to have a corrosive impact on Nero's relationship with Jax and perhaps even Gemma.
And if all that wasn't enough turbulence to deal with, here's the capper: Tara has finally made good on her plan to split with the kids. But instead of taking the immunity deal with DA Tyne Patterson that would have destroyed SAMCRO, she has taken the very risky route by hitting the road and holing up in a motel with Abel and Thomas. This, after pulling a fast one on Gemma and nabbing the kids at gunpoint from Unser and Wendy.
When Jax rushes home to find that Tara has cleared out the closet and drawers and taken the boys, he of course, explodes into a seething, frothing, furntiure-tossing fit. Now, what the hell else can go wrong?
Some random observations:
– Those sadistic writers we mentioned have done a great job of keeping us off balance the last couple of weeks, beginning with the slayings of Clay and Galen and proceeding with the surprise ambush of the Chinese posse. (Conner: "Some real cowboy s- going on here."). They even kept us guessing right up til the end as to whether Tara would meet with the DA or not.
– Speaking of the DA, what a season of utter futility for Patterson. Every time she thinks she has a deal in the works, every time she is ready to make someone pay for that school shooting, something goes awry. It has gotten a little ridiculous, really. If "SOA" was a Warner Bros. cartoon, she would be the Coyote.
– At least things are looking good for Tig. With Jax coming through on the gun front, August no longer has Tig in his cross hairs. Looks like we'll be enjoying Tig's weird antics for at least a while longer. Just don't mess with the hair.
– Nice line from Chibs after Jax hooked the Irish up with Marks: "Jackie boy, you just advanced race relations in Ireland 50 years."
– Loved the deft touch director Paris Barclay brought to the final sequence where Nero awkwardly comforts Jax after learning Tara has taken off with the kids. Here's a guy who has just learned of a shocking betrayal by Jax, but knows that this is not the time to address it. A nicely done scene.
– On the other hand, we could have done without all the references to Bobby's apparently prodigious man part.

Before I forget, this weekend I'll be in Houston, TX. On May 29, 2011 I'll be speaking at the Houston Zen Center 1605 Heights Blvd., Houston, TX. This is also a one-day retreat. All of you people who constantly gripe at me about "why don't you lead a retreat?" here's your chance to stop belly-achin' and come do some zazen.
I've also updated the tour page with a talk in NYC, some more Zero Defex gigs and other talks and things. Go look.
Also remember my new/old book Death To All Monsters is available now as a downloadable eBook or print-on-demand. Here are the links where you can get it:

http://www.lulu.com/spotlight/BradWarner (print-on-demand available)
For your entertainment, here is the afterword to the book:
I tend to assume that a number of people who have purchased this book did so because they are fans of my other nonfiction books, Hardcore Zen, Sit Down and Shut Up, Zen Wrapped in Karma Dipped in Chocolate and Sex Sin and Zen. Thank you.
I wrote this book between 1996 and 1998. So it predates my first nonfiction book, Hardcore Zen (2003), by several years. I sent Death To All Monsters out to a number of publishers at the time and collected a lot of rejection notices. One publisher expressed some interest and I rewrote the book according to their suggestions. But in the end they passed on it as well. The version you just read contains some of their suggestions but not all of them.
Like my nonfiction books, this one is a true story. But unlike those books it is not a factually true story. I'm not contending, for example, that the Japanese Imperial Army really shot down an alien spacecraft at the end of World War II. That part of the story is made up. But much of the rest of this book is essentially true.
In many ways this novel is almost as autobiographical as my later nonfiction books. Bob Morningstar, the protagonist, is based on me and this is the story of my life working for Tsuburaya Productions in Tokyo, one of the world's leading producers of Japanese science fiction films and TV shows. Although there was no real movie Death To All Monsters, there really was episode 12 of the TV series Ultra Seven.
Ultra Seven was a Japanese television series featuring a superhero from outer space named Ultra Seven who stood 40 meters (120 feet) tall and routinely battle equally gigantic alien monsters who wished to take over planet Earth. It was a follow up to the company's more well-know superhero TV show, Ultraman. The monster in episode 12 of Ultra Seven came from a planet whose dominant species had destroyed their own environment in an atomic war. They desired to steal the white corpuscles from human blood in order to heal their dying species. The story and the imagery (see the photo on this page) in this episode proved to be too much like the real story of those who had survived the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. So after a few broadcasts in the late sixties and early seventies, this episode was withdrawn from circulation. The other 48 episodes of the series played countless times in reruns and continue to play even today. From the time of its withdrawal, episode 12 was never included on any home video or DVD release and was not mentioned in any official publications. Official episode guides all cryptically skip straight from episode 11 to episode 13 without explanation.
Ultra Seven spawned a following of dedicated and often obsessive fans not unlike fans of Star Trek in the USA and Doctor Who in the UK. These guys really, really wanted to see the mysterious episode 12. The company had in its possession a single print of the show. For reasons I never could quite understand, this print often found its way into really weird places. For a while it was stored in an unlocked locker of one of the employees. At one point it disappeared for several weeks causing major concern within the company. People were constantly trying to get at it as if it contained some sort of bizarre secrets.
Some time just before I started working for the company, my predecessor at the international sales division sold the broadcast rights to the Ultra Seven series to Turner Network Television in America. Unlike me, this guy wasn't really a fan of the shows we made. He had no idea that there was any problem with episode 12. So he sent the entire series to America.
I got word of this and made a quiet decision not to pursue the matter. As I hoped, the episode was shown on American TV, allowing me to see it for myself when someone sent me a VHS tape. And, of course, that version subsequently made its way back to Japan. By the mid-1990s any hardcore fan who really wanted to see the show could track down a bootleg tape. Yet officially the episode still does not exist even today.
Whenever the subject of releasing the episode came up the company people reacted to the idea in much the same way someone in the US government circa 1950 might have reacted to the notion of supplying the secret of the hydrogen bomb to the Soviet Union. It was dangerous even to mention the idea lest someone believe you were a traitor! I found this highly amusing. Much of that air of paranoia became the basis for the plot of the novel. I wondered what would happen if episode 12 of Ultra Seven really did contain some deep dark secret.
Unlike Bob, I never got in trouble for allowing Turner to broadcast the show because technically I really didn't. I had plausible denial on my side. It wasn't me who sent the films to America and it wasn't my job to monitor what went on after they were sent out. I only learned about the broadcast when a description of the episode appeared in TV Guide and some friends of mine in America who were obsessive fans of the show told me about it just days before the intended broadcast. All I did was to pretend I hadn't heard.
That was the situation upon which I based the story. What's also true in this fictional story are the people. All of the characters are based to one degree or another upon people I actually knew. Some have been highly fictionalized. Some not.
Jackie Satsuma is based on my first boss at Tsuburaya Productions, the late Jimmy Ugawa. Ugawa had been in the Japanese Imperial Army during the war. And, although he was not stationed in Manchuria like Satsuma was, another important person in my life was. The Zen teacher from whom I received ordination, Gudo Wafu Nishijima, actually had been stationed in Manchuria where he saw no action at all during the war. Lucky for him. Both men had a deep impact on my life. Gudo makes a cameo in this novel as well.
The character of Charlie Lo isn't anyone specific but is based on a number of people I interacted with during my time at Tsuburaya. There were a lot of guys in various Asian countries who ran film distribution companies. Many of these people were quite ruthless. The line in the novel about how people would kill each other over the rights to Disney films was something I actually heard from one of my coworkers. I have no reason to doubt it. Some of the people I dealt with were kind of scary and I often wondered how far they would go if they felt their financial interests were threatened.
Even some of the really outlandish characters in this book have real life counterparts. There were American fans of our shows every bit as obsessive as O'Dell and Daisy. There were ex-pats living in Japan just as weird and wonderful as Nick and Emily. There was even an extremely enthusiastic fan in Southeast Asia who built his own completely unauthorized museum of our shows much like the one owned by the fictional Ajrat Gupta.
The story of the people making a Gorezolla film in America is based on real events that took place when Tsuburaya attempted to hire a team to remake Ultraman in Hollywood in the early 90s. The results were a complete catastrophe and the program was never shown in the USA, though it appeared on home video in Japan.
In addition to the people in the story, many of the events contained in this novel actually happened. Some of you will recognize a few scenes that I wrote first in fictional form here and then later rewrote for Hardcore Zen. The scene in which Bob passes out while dancing in a monster costume actually happened to me, and some of the stuff that occurs in temples in the novel actually happened to me at Zen temples in Japan. Most of the set visit stuff is also essentially factual.
This was a fun novel to write. But it took a lot of work. I'd written loads of short stories by the time I decided to write this, but never a full-length novel. In order to keep all the action straight I had post-it notes all over one wall of my apartment so that I would know where each character was and what they were doing even in chapters in which they didn't appear.
It took a couple of years of daily work to turn that vague idea of making a novel based on the story of Ultra Seven episode twelve into a coherent book. At the time I was working a regular five-day-a-week job, so I had to dedicate all of my free time to the book. It was a massive amount of work. Yet even when the book failed to find a publisher I never felt like I had wasted my time.
I hope you have enjoyed this book as much as I did.
Thanks for reading!

The Hopefully Annual Baseball Extravaganza San Deigo Edition: Part 1
Like many baseball fans, Seth and I have a goal to eventually enjoy a game at every major league baseball stadium and ideally some of the minor league stadiums as well. Economics and vacation time has thus far limited our progress to slow and local but, hey, progress is progress! Last season we took in a gloriously old-fashioned single admission double header at the Oakland Coliseum and experienced the Dodgers Giants rivalry at AT&T Park. This season we headed down the 5 freeway in the other direction and are currently enjoying the beginning of Interleague play as the Angels take on the Padres at Petco Park.
A Word About Petco Park: Gorgeous!
Okay, when can I ever limit myself to one word? Add to that enjoyable, friendly and in general a first class baseball experience. Everywhere we went, our clearly not rooting from around these parts red attire prompted staff to smile and welcome us to the park, a nice touch we have never experienced before. We enjoyed nice conversations with friendly ushers during batting practice and the game – baseball fans everywhere love talking about their team, their stadium, their experiences and I love to listen. The fans in our section were equally lovely, despite the fact of the Angels winning. And with recent Padre Ernesto Frieri sitting right in front of us in an Angels uniform (Ah, our seats! I'll get to those is a minute.) and the other half of that trade, Alexi Amarista playing second, we had plenty to talk about.
Batting Practice and Bullpen Sessions, Oh My!
Taking in batting practice is one of my favorite ways to start a ballgame experience and yet, even as often as we go to the ballpark, this treat is a rare one for us. Working hours being what they are, even on the weekend, and L.A./Orange County traffic being what it is, if we're lucky we get to the game about 20 minutes before first pitch and if we're not, we get there somewhere during the 1st inning. So it was a nice vacation luxury to walk through the gates shortly after they first opened. Petco Park was designed with wide concourses that have great views of the field for most of their stretch, so we roamed freely about from the outfield above the beach bleachers, to our bullpen adjacent seats to home plate and back.
So, About Interleague Play…
Although it certainly isn't the popular view, I actually enjoy and look forward to Interleague play. Maybe it's because I was raised on the Dodgers and the National League. Maybe it's because my team of choice has such a natural, longstanding and fun Interleague rival in the Dodgers? Or maybe it's just that my personality is as slightly skewed from the norm in my baseball fandom as it is in everything else? Whatever it is, I look forward to seeing all of the unusual matchups Interleague play has to offer. Hello, odd visuals like the Angels playing against the storied ivy draped backdrop of Wrigley Field? How can that not be fun? Or, at least, that's what I think. Besides, watching American League pitchers bat is a seasonal novelty I will never tire of and some guys surprise you:
As if All of This Preamble Wasn't Enough, the Game Rocked…
The Angels played well and that was especially nice to see after Thursday's game against the White Sox. Yes, I know, the Padres are struggling but so are the Angels and the struggling Royals just swept the unstoppable Rangers so you never can tell how these matchups will turn out once you take them from paper to the field. I was proud of our guys! Jered Weaver looked great – and not just with his bat ;). Our bats were present and made that presence known. Our defense had more than moved on from Thursday's gaffs – hey, who put that sun up there in the sky? *facepalm* – and the bullpen rocked. All that and a W – what more could a fan ask for?
Okay, Now That's Funny!
If you've been reading my blog for any length of time, you probably already know that I prefer my blog entries, my friends and, indeed, my baseball with a rollicking sense of humor, the more off kilter the better. I love baseball's crazy prank traditions, overly complex and fabulously silly rookie hazing rituals, and the goofy things that stadium personnel do to the opposing team. This evening it was the Padres Jumbotron Angels player slides that had me cracking up:
Big A Jumbotron programmers can be funny too, just usually at the Angels expense. For example, when our pitchers load the bases with only one out or no outs, it's not uncommon for the stat to tell us how rarely the batter hits into a double play or how prone he is to grand slams. Ummm…thanks guys?
Anyway, that concludes Part 1 of our excursion. We have great seats for today's game too and I am really looking forward to it – Go Angels!!

With his head in the massage table's cradle, his eyes closed, Alan's world escaped into darkness. Alan enjoyed this element of massage; his other senses almost vanish, leaving him with an intense awareness of his body and its sensations. He discovered it to be a deeply meditative.
As Ally worked her hands over Alan's muscular back, (bringing him a smooth, relaxing enjoyment that straight opposed the stimulation that had actually started in his loins), she observed she might smell him. Alan attempted to envision a more total photo of the body connected to the hands that worked on him.
Alan was Ally's last customer of the day. When she saw his individual health appeared to be great and that he had excellent skin, she was happy. And when she shook his strong hand and looked into his baby blue eyes, butterflies fluttered in her chest and the hair based on the back of her neck.

" I'm Ally. I'll be your therapist today," she stated.
" No choice," is what he generally stated. Often, he would include, "Whoever is best at unwinding muscles."
As she worked his body, her hands served as her eyes. Getting rid of a bit of the sheet to work his lower back and excess, the butt s of her palms traced the powerful figure she drew in her mind.
Alan was extremely ashamed, his cheeks flushing with color. He declined to open his eyes to attempt to construct out Ally's response. He didn't understand what to state.
As Ally worked her hands over Alan's muscular back, (bringing him a smooth, relaxing enjoyment that straight opposed the stimulation that had actually started in his loins), she saw she might smell him. It was just him and it was more appealing than anything Alan might have ever stated.
Sex Erotic Massage Garizim
" Sir, do you choose a guy or female?" the receptionist on the other end of the phone duplicated.
Alan was completely put up. It raised the sheet, comically, like a camping tent.
When he heard the door to Room 5 open, the soft steps of Ally coming back in, his heart started to beat much faster. Uncommon, Alan believed. He was expected to melt, much deeper into dreamlike relaxation.
Alan amazed himself today when he informed the receptionist, "A female, please." Where did that originated from? he questioned.
Alan heard it. The sound covered itself around him and Alan believed, "I am insanely smitten by this masseuse.".
Happy Ending Sex Massage Garizim
If he stated he chose a male, did that mean he was sexist? If he stated he chose a lady, did it suggest he was a creep who discovered something sexually sensual in his deep-tissue massages? Did it suggest he was a fool who anticipated a "delighted ending"?
When she worked his upper back, she leaned forward, digging into him with her elbow. When Ally sat on a stool near his head and began to knead his neck, he envisioned her strong shoulders rolling forward with each stroke. When he had actually moved, and she let the sheet back down, she and Alan discovered it at the very same time.
He disliked their concern almost as much as the expression that every masseuse he had ever had stated to him after a massage: "How do you feel?"
Alan had actually gone to massage therapists for several years. He was a workaholic who brought concern upon himself, and while others may bring their tension in their stomachs, he brought his in his body. His muscles frequently were a ball of stress that even his foam roller in the house might not exercise.
After work he struck the health club, showered, then drove to the massage parlor. He had ignored his unusual reaction over the phone previously, being in the waiting space, he heard a sweet, delicately sexy voice call out, "Alan?".
Alan was Ally's last customer of the day. Ally led Alan to Room 5. Alan could not envision however assist Ally's tight, round ass inches from his head, his face simply as close to her pubis.
Alan searched for from his publication to discover her; small yet well proportioned, her consistent scrubs didn't conceal the truth that she kept herself fit. Her eyes were almond-shaped, her hair black, and her skin the color of caramel.
Alan could not be sure. Alan might feel her heat on him. Alan could not picture however assist Ally's tight, round ass inches from his head, his face simply as close to her pubis.
He heard her walk away, to the corner of the space. He became aware of masseuses who put a stack of towels on a customer's groin in circumstances like these. Maybe that's what she will do, he hoped.
Alan attempted to think of a more total image of the body connected to the hands that worked on him. The heat Ally offered off supplied an unrefined type of finder in his pitch-black world.
Ally led Alan to Room 5. She asked him to undress and lay face-down on the table. She left the space, providing him personal privacy to crawl and disrobe under the sheet.

Turkey: Information on the LastDodo site about Nevruz (3.500), 1995.At its heart, LastDodo is an online catalogue with images of, and information on, collectables. Our catalogue is compiled by users in a similar way to Wikipedia.
We make a distinction between professional and private resellers. Professional resellers have a 'pro' behind their name if their chamber of commerce number or equivalent is listed in their shop info.
Buying from a professional reseller may have extra advantages due to consumer protection legislation. The biggest advantage for the buyer is the right to return the product within 7 days and receive a full refund of the purchase price. The seller must also deliver the goods to the purchaser within 30 days; if it takes longer than this, the buyer has the right to withdraw the purchase.
Professional resellers may belong to a branch organization; if so, we list it. Usually this means greater protection for the buyer.

Left to right: 7.5 oz, 8 oz, 12 oz
Dear Diet Coke,
Okay, I like the 12 ounce size. It lasts me at least 10-60 minutes (depending on how thirsty/ caffeine-deprived I am). It fits nicely in my hand and (when first opened) has a decent heft to it. Makes a good, "click-hiss" when you open up.
For years you've also offered the 8 ounce size, which several local hospitals stock. Not as tall, or as much, but same diameter so still fits nicely in my hand and has a nice "click-hiss"when you pop it. 3 of these equals 2 big ones.
BUT NOW YOU'VE GONE TOO FAR. The new pissy little "tall and thin" 7.5 ounce (how much money does that 0.5 ounce difference really save, for cryin' out loud?) is a disgrace. Look at it! It looks like a little silver can of fucking V8 juice!
This is SO not acceptable. It makes this high pitched "click" when you open. The can is so small and dainty I feel like I should drink it in little sips, pinched delicately between my thumb and index finger, with the pinkie sticking out, like I'm at one of my daughter's freakin' doll tea parties.
In short, THIS IS NOT A MANLY WAY TO DRINK DIET COKE!
Yours truly
Ibee Grumpy, M.D.

Green Right Now
Tis' the season where children transform into angels for fear of being put on Santa's naughty list and financial panic ensues in parents. But who said a quality gift could only come from the department store? This holiday season, we have compiled a fun list of DIY gifts even the least creative person can handle, trust us. Happy Crafting!
DIY: Handmade Christmas potpourri
When I think of Christmas, three things come to mind: indulging in mom's sinfully delicious baking, cuddling up next to the fireplace sporting my oversized Grinch onesie (yes, I own a Grinch onesie), and the crisp, inviting smell of cinnamon and spices that fill my home. Christmas potpourri serves as the perfect present for friends, teachers, neighbors, or even yourself.
To make handmade potpourri is as far from laborious as it gets. The most tedious part of the project is gathering the ingredients — cinnamon sticks, bay leaves, cloves, dried oranges — and after that it's smooth holiday sailing. We thought it would be cute to create a warning disclaimer to put on the back saying: "Warning: Opening Christmas in a jar may cause intense holiday cheer. Use with caution."
We stumbled upon this crafty little do-dad on the Dandee Designs Blog. The blog contains the complete list of instructions as well as the link to print out the exact "Christmas in a Jar" labels. Click here!
DIY: Upcycled Teacup Candle
Tell us that this candle does not look like it came straight out of the Anthropologie home section. The only difference is that you aren't going to spend $35 for it. We were quite fond of the vintage style look of this teacup but if it's not quite your giftee's style, personalize it to make it their own- that's the true beauty of DIY gifts. We found this simple, yet charming holiday treat on the gift guides section of The Conservation Blog of The Nature Conservancy's website.
This one's extra eco-friendly because you are reusing an orphaned tea cup and reclaiming wax from old, partially used candles hanging around the house. You also can use soy wax for a cleaner-burning, non-petroleum-based candle. For the complete list of materials and directions to creating an upcycled teacup candle of your own, do click here.
DIY: Rockin' Vinyl Record Bowl
Okay, super random, but so flipping awesome! Take your giftee back to their righteous adolescent days by giving them their favorite record molded into a bowl! Surprisingly, this Rockin' Vinyl Record Bowl requires the least amount of time to create than the gifts previously listed and is hands down the most impressive of them all. Now's the time to start chatting with your giftee and casually ask what their first or favorite record was. Try something like this, "Gosh I just heard "Paint it Black" by the Rolling Stones and remembered that was my absolute first record! What was yours?" You can steal our corny approach or try something of your own but the point is to choose a record that will have sentimental value. For a step-by-step list of instructions and photos from CasaSugar.com on how to make a Rockin' Vinyl Record Bowl click here.
Snow Globes that evoke the past
Here's one that might be a tad more difficult, but with a terrific payoff. These elegant, antique-like snow globes look as if they were plucked right out of the Victorian period.
As with the Christmas in a Jar, the difficult part is collecting the pieces. You will want a jar with a lid (a vintage one would be great), or find something at a craft store. Then add jewelry, figurines etc. Decide if you're going for a timeless, sweet or kitschy look. Also at the craft store, you'll need to pick an anti-rust sealant for metal parts (in the spray paint section), a clear-drying epoxy (vital as leaky snow globes are terminal), glitter and glycerin, which you add to the distilled water inside.
Get full instructions from Nicole, a Virginian living in London. Her Well Worn blog features classic and artful stuff. These snow globes were created by Anthropologie, but doing it yourself with discards from second-hand stores would be even more eco-friendly. (We're worried that watch inside snow globe #1 might have been repairable.)

Before sharing this month's freebie, I have to tell you about a change at this blog. While I was taking the break, I had been thinking about how I can make my life (as a mom to two kids, an illustrator for TSG, and the owner of Birdie Brown) more easy. And one of the decisions I've made is that I stop "Customer's Project" post.
Even though I won't have "Customer's Project" post anymore, I really like to see what my customers make with my digital stamps. And I believe that your fabulous works inspire somebody. So please feel free to share your creations using my digital stamps on my Facebook page!
If you have any questions about this change, please email me at birdiebrown55-at-gmail-dot-com.
OK, now onto the new freebie and challenge!;)
* Please include a link to this post in your blog post so that your readers will know where you got the image you used.
* Please DON'T put the original digital stamp on your blog. I have to regard it as redistribution.
* The collection will be closed at 11:59pm EST January 31. Then one lucky person will be chosen randomly and will receive 3 digital stamp from Birdie Brown.
* You can enter as many times as you would like. The more you enter, the more chance to win!
Here is my sample card. Make sure that your cards/projects don't need to be for Valentine's Day. Birthday, friendship, thank you... any theme is OK!

Your Inner Ecology
|Water Balance - Essential for Life
Every gardener knows that her plot of land needs sufficient water to enable the flourishing of the plants, flowers, fruits, and vegetables under her care. Likewise, the human body needs sufficient daily watering so that health and well-being can continue to flourish. Most authoritative sources recommend daily consumption of eight glasses of water per day.
But most people don't come close to approaching the recommended minimum. Some don't even drink one daily glass of water. The result of failing to maintain proper water balance is a toxic internal environment. Biochemical processes break down and chronic disorders such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, asthma and allergies, and arthritis develop.
Drinking water is a simple and very cheap method of helping maintain good health. If you don't usually drink water, start with two glasses a day. From there build up to four glasses and then eight glasses per day. You may notice some surprising and very gratifying results, including more restful sleep, reduced levels of stress, and a healthier glow to your skin.
In April 2010 the BP Deep Horizon drilling rig exploded in the Gulf of Mexico, resulting in a catastrophic offshore oil spill. Millions of barrels of oil have spilled into the Gulf since the explosion, representing an unprecedented environmental disaster. Many complex ecosystems are affected by the oil spill, ranging from the Louisiana bayous and associated wetlands to as-yet-unexplored deep ocean ecologies.
The Deep Horizon explosion has focused public attention on ocean, gulf, and wetlands ecologies. The grave threats posed to these environmental ecosystems can also focus attention on our own internal ecosystems.
Human blood is composed of approximately 90% water by volume. Your body attempts to control certain characteristics of blood very closely. For example, the acid-base balance of blood is maintained within a very tight range - a pH between 7.35 and 7.45. Blood levels of calcium are also tightly controlled, within a range of 8.5 to 10.5 milligrams for every 100 milliliters of blood. Lower calcium levels will cause calcium to be leeched out of bone to restore blood levels to within the normal range.
Similarly, high levels of blood glucose (as in diabetes) can cause these simple sugars to wash up on the shores of small blood vessels in the kidney, retina, and nerves. Serious damage to kidneys, the eyes, and nerves can result.2,3
Failure to take appropriate precautions and heed warning signs is the likely cause of the Deep Horizon explosion. In order for us to ongoingly maintain a healthy inner ecology, we need to do what was not done in this oil-drilling operation. Making proactive lifestyle choices is a key to creating and supporting an inner ecology that will reward us with long-term health and well-being.
Engaging in regular chiropractic care is a one such lifestyle choice that helps support a healthy inner ecology.
