WHY Full Spectrum 10xPURE CBD Oil?
Watch this 10X Pure CBD Oil Video
Our 10xPure CBD Oil contains CBDa!
A recent exploratory scientific endeavor was conducted to research and assess the stability of CBD in 10xPURE hemp oil in comparison to standard hemp oil by examining the cells that metabolize the CBD molecules.
The exploratory scientific endeavor was completed by CTFO to assess how 10xPURE affects the absorption and stability of full-spectrum CBD in hemp oil. Using a technique called mass spectrometry, routinely used to accurately detect small molecules such as cannabinoids, measurements were taken to detect the presence of CBDA in the liver cells. Under the same conditions, CBDA was not detected with the standard hemp oil, yet was present in the cells with the 10xPURE hemp oil.
Liquid chromatography separates molecules based on their chemical properties and is routinely used in most cannabis testing labs to quality control their material. Using this method the composition of both, the 10xPURE hemp oil, and the standard hemp oil, were tested. With the same amount of full-spectrum CBD, we observed that the 10xPURE hemp oil contained significantly more CBDA.View the FULL REPORT
10xPURE CBD OIL Supports higher levels of CBDa for better relief from discomfort and inflammation.Full Spectrum "10xPURE" CBD is a Supercharged CBD Oil that makes it Hydrophilic (water-soluble) for better bioavailability and absorption than any other full-spectrum CBD oil.
The 10xPURE CBD oils also contain an additional element called CBDa. CBDa has been found to have more anti-inflammatory properties than CBD as it is a potent inhibitor of COX2 which is the same mode of action as a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory.
What is CBDa?
CBD in the raw form in the LIVE hemp plant is called CBDa which stands for Cannabidiolic acid. CBDa is the pre-cursor to CBD. In the live hemp plant, there is actually no CBD. Before processing, CBD exists as Cannabidiolic acid (CBDa).
When the hemp plant is harvested, dried out, and exposed to heat the CBDa converts to a non-acid element that we know as CBD.
If you ate the live hemp plant, you would get CBDa and no CBD.
CBDa has been found to be far more effective as an anti-inflammatory than CBD.
CBDa is a potent inhibitor of the COX2 enzyme which is the same mode of action as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications such as NSAIDS or Ibuprofen.
CTFO has developed a patented process to preserve the CBDa so that it doesn't convert to CBD.
CBDa is much more powerful for relieving PAIN and INFLAMMATION!
The #1 reason people are interested in Hemp CBD oil {uscitystate(city)}, {uscitystate(state)} or Hemp CBD products is for EXTRA RELIEF.
Our 10xPure Gold / Super 1000 CBDa Oil contains a minimum of 6 mg of CBDa per serving, over 10 times more than what might be found in most CBD products on the market.
Do you need EXTRA Relief? GET MORE CBDa
The public awareness of CBD is currently soaring, CBD is being used for all manner of ailments and conditions. Science is proving that CBDa is more powerful than CBD alone.
There are an estimated 100 million people taking painkillers in the US. Opioid addiction is out of control and ruining people's lives. Our 10xPure CBD Oil {uscitystate(city)}, {uscitystate(state)} are enriched with CBDa which can help!

Yes! CTFO CBD oil is legal in {uscitystate(city)}, {uscitystate(state)} and in all 50 sates in the USA.
The Hemp plant has been grown and used for various reasons for thousands of years. While the "CBD" cannabinoid was discovered in the 1940s, medicinal CBD research has not advanced in the US due to the legal status of cannabis over the last century. Most of the CBD research was conducted outside of the US.
Israeli Professor Raphael Mechoulam, also known as the "father of cannabis research," and his team began researching CBD in the 1960's he became the first scientist to isolate the CBD cannabinoid, and went on to discover that humans have a Cannabinoid system in 1988.
In the US For decades, federal law did not differentiate hemp from other cannabis plants, all of which were effectively made illegal in 1937 under the Marihuana Tax Act and formally made illegal in 1970 under the Controlled Substances Act—the latter banned cannabis of any kind.
The 2018 Farm Bill passed by Congress allows the manufacture and sale of hemp-derived products. It also puts no restrictions on the sale, transport, or possession of hemp-derived products, so long as those items are produced in a manner consistent with the law.
Hemp is now legal in the United States and CBD Oil is legal in {uscitystate(city)}, {uscitystate(state)} with limitations. Hemp cannot contain a legal limit of THC of more than 0.3 percent of THC (the compound in the plant most commonly associated with getting a person high). In short, hemp can't get you high for it to be legal.
Hemp-derived CBD has eliminated the negative stigma of being associated with marijuana, and many medical professionals have recommended it to help cope with various health conditions.
Legally, the federal government classifies CBD oil in {uscitystate(city)}, {uscitystate(state)} as a dietary supplement, and has become a popular health product to treat many conditions like pain, anxiety, and insomnia.
Health Benefits of Hemp CBD Oil
Scientists and the medical community are discovering the many benefits of Hemp CBD oil {uscitystate(city)}, {uscitystate(state)}.
Besides being a powerful anti-inflammatory and pain reliever Hemp CBD Oil {uscitystate(city)}, {uscitystate(state)} has many benefits.
There is a growing body of research supporting hemp oil's health benefits. The hemp plant, specifically its hemp oil contains cannabinoids that have been found to support many aspects of health.
Activating the endocannabinoid system has many positive results. The use of CBD has been known to have many physical benefits such as:
- Supports healthy blood sugar levels
- Relieves anxiety
- Promotes healthy energy levels
- Aids digestion
- Promotes overall feelings of serenity and well-being
- Supports optimal immune function
- Supports the regeneration of healthy cells.
- Pain Relief

Hemp plants produce Hemp-Derived Cannabinoid Oil {uscitystate(city)}, {uscitystate(state)}
Healthcare professionals and people seeking alternative and natural health treatments are turning to hemp-based CBD Oil {uscitystate(city)}, {uscitystate(state)}.
The Entourage Effect
This term is used to describe the healing effect that plant materials may have by working together rather than alone – the idea is that a whole plant is more than the sum of its parts when it comes to therapeutic benefit. With this holistic approach in mind, you should choose CBD oil {uscitystate(city)}, {uscitystate(state)} that is full-spectrum hemp oil.
Full Spectrum Oil / Whole-Plant Extract (Better Choice)
As the name suggests, full spectrum or whole plant extract is an oil extracted from the hemp plant which contains all the cannabinoids found in the plant. In addition to these compounds, full-spectrum hemp oil also contains essential vitamins, minerals, Omega fatty acids, flavonoids, chlorophyll, and terpenes.
CBD Isolate (Less Expensive)
CBD Isolates are the opposite of FULL-SPECTRUM. Isolates are extracted from the plant and processed and remove all of the oils, plant material, chlorophyll, and more. This leaves the CBD oil {uscitystate(city)}, {uscitystate(state)} but this is not the best way of using Cannabidiol for health. CBD Isolates are found in the form of white powder or crystals, so make sure that you are using full spectrum or whole plant extract from the hemp plant which contains all the cannabinoids found in the plant.
There are more than 540 phytochemicals that come from hemp, and their properties can help people with pain, inflammation, sleep, and mood disorders.
Cannabidiol (CBD) is a chemical compound from the hemp plant, known as cannabinoids, with significant medical benefits but has none of the psychoactive effects of Marijuana. With no psychoactive implications, there is no "high" as there is with marijuana plants because it doesn't contain the chemical THC. Hemp plants are rich in cannabinoids, which carry amazing benefits to which our bodies respond well. It also has a variety of terpenes that have physiological effects.
Buy a Full Spectrum Hemp-derived CBD oil {uscitystate(city)}, {uscitystate(state)} that is phytocannabinoid-rich and organically grown.
The most important factor when considering a CBD Oil {uscitystate(city)}, {uscitystate(state)} product is to understand the different forms of CBD on the market.
How you consume CBD can have a dramatic impact on the efficacy and how well the CBD works for your health.
CBD can be consumed in a variety of ways. There are oral drops, sprays, capsules, edibles, and topical creams.
When you purchase CBD products or CBD oil {uscitystate(city)}, {uscitystate(state)} they will contain either "Full Spectrum CBD" or "CBD isolate" and there are key differences between the two.
CBD isolate is less expensive and can be consumed in oral drops. Isolates are also typically used as an ingredient in topical creams, gummies, and other consumable products.
Full Spectrum CBD oil{uscitystate(city)}, {uscitystate(state)} is the best form to use for the best RESULTS.
CBD Edibles
If you ingest CBD orally using such popular products as edible Gummys, gel capsules, coffee, or other food products, the CBD must first go through your stomach, and into your digestive system where it is broken down, before it's absorbed into your bloodstream.
The effective amount of CBD that you are getting is far less than the amount you originally took.
Not only are you getting a smaller amount into your body, but you must wait a lot longer to experience the effects because your digestive system has to have time to process the CBD.
This is known as "first-pass metabolism" and is responsible for decreasing the amount of CBD that eventually enters your bloodstream.
CBD Creams (Topical)
Topical Moisturizers can be effective for skincare or skin issues.
Topical Creams can help muscle pain or soreness.
Topical applications are great for localized pain or one part of your body. CBD creams penetrate through the skin to muscles, but very little CBD (if any) will enter the bloodstream and circulate to other areas of the body.
If you are using topical CBD creams we recommend that you also use CBD oil {uscitystate(city)}, {uscitystate(state)} drops under the tongue for maximum effect.
CBD delivery to the outside body area together with internal CBD Oil {uscitystate(city)}, {uscitystate(state)} drops will give you the best health benefits of CBD.
CBD Drops (Sublingual)
CBD OIL DROPS (called a Tincture), put under your tongue (sublingual), are the very best way to get CBD into your system.
The CBD under your tongue will be absorbed by the blood vessels and go directly into your bloodstream.
CBD Oil drops are made with either CBD Isolate or Full Spectrum CBD oil.
Different CBD Oil {uscitystate(city)}, {uscitystate(state)} products can have different absorbency and bio-availability.
A water-soluble or "hydrophilic" CBD oil will have a higher absorbency rate. The higher absorbency of a hydrophilic CBD oil has an effect on the amount of CBD that enters your bloodstream, and that makes all the difference!

GMP Certified
GMP refers to the Good Manufacturing Practice Regulations promulgated by the US Food and Drug Administration under the authority of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (See Chapter IV for food, and Chapter V, Subchapters A, B, C, D, and E for drugs and devices.) These regulations, which have the force of law, require that manufacturers, processors, and packagers of drugs, medical devices, some food, and blood take proactive steps to ensure that their products are safe, pure, and effective.GMP regulations require a quality approach to manufacturing, enabling companies to minimize or eliminate instances of contamination, mixups, and errors. This, in turn, protects the consumer from purchasing a product that is not effective or even dangerous. Failure of firms to comply with GMP regulations can result in very serious consequences including recall, seizure, fines, and jail time.
GMP regulations address issues including recordkeeping, personnel qualifications, sanitation, cleanliness, equipment verification, process validation, and complaint handling. Most GMP requirements are very general and open-ended, allowing each manufacturer to decide individually how to best implement the necessary controls. This provides much flexibility, but also requires that the manufacturer interpret the requirements in a manner that makes sense for each individual business.
Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) is a system for ensuring that products are consistently produced and controlled according to quality standards. It is designed to minimize the risks involved in any pharmaceutical production that cannot be eliminated through testing the final product.
GMP covers all aspects of production from the starting materials, premises, and equipment to the training and personal hygiene of staff. Detailed, written procedures are essential for each process that could affect the quality of the finished product. There must be systems to provide documented proof that correct procedures are consistently followed at each step in the manufacturing process – every time a product is made.
Of course, I am extremely proud that the company I represent subscribes to this process/practice. Recently an array of CBD oil Rocky River, OH samples was tested in an independent lab, 67% of the samples did not contain what the labels said they did, and 2% did not contain ANY CBD at all!
Be sure to choose your CBD supplier VERY carefully!
IMPORTANT: Our CTFO Hemp CBD Oil Rocky River, OH products shown on this page are higher quality and more effective than products you will find at your local CBD dispensary, "smoke shop" or local CBD store.

Buy the BEST FIRST!
Many people want to "try" CBD oil Rocky River, OH and see if it works for them.
A recent poll found that 15% of American adults are currently using CBD and 40% have said they would like to try CBD. But, there is a huge amount of low-quality CBD Oil Rocky River, OH flooding the marketplace.
CBD Rocky River, OH is unregulated and several investigative reports have shown that 60% of the products being sold do not even contain the amount of CBD shown on the label.
When people use inferior products they do not get the results they were hoping for. This causes people to discontinue using CBD products and abandon the thought that CBD could help them.
CBD WORKS! But only if you buy the right product.
We have seen marketing like: "THIS IS THE CBD THAT ***insert celebrity name*** USES..."
This is a big red warning flag that this is a scam. These companies are not legitimate.Don't get scammed by a free sample.
Companies will send you a sample product to try (which is good) but then they set you up on auto-ship and keep charging you FULL PRICE month after month.
We get people contacting us every day wanting to cancel and I have to explain to them that IT WAS NOT CTFO.
If you can't find the company's website, or contact info or they do business from a PO Box, then they are probably a scam company.

CTFO Believes in quality, transparency, and accountability. That's why they provide third-party testing and documentation to back up everything.
All products are manufactured in GMP-certified facilities, which means they're regulated by the FDA to ensure that what's on their labels is what's in the products. The products are of the highest quality and purity available anywhere.
In order to verify that a CBD product is pure, free of toxins, and able to provide the claimed benefits, there are several analyses that need to be done. Generally, the cannabinoids that are tested are CBD, THC, CBC, CBN, and CBG. CBD is a non-psychoactive component and is responsible for the majority of the health benefits associated with the cannabis plant.
Before you purchase a CBD product, you should be aware of the contents and the data regarding the product. Here are some analysis tests to look for before you purchase a CBD product:
- CBD/THC ratio: It's desirable for a cannabis or hemp product to have a higher concentration of CBD, and in fact, it is required by law that they contain little to no THC (less than 0.3% by volume). Also, it should have minimal concentrations of other potentially psychoactive components.
- Microbiological testing: This is done to ensure that there are no harmful mold colonies, or bacteria, on the cannabis or hemp plants. If there are pathogens on the plant, they can easily get inside the body if the levels are too high, and cause unwanted side effects.
- Pesticide testing: This is important for ensuring the safety of cannabis and hemp compounds since the plants can be treated with fungicides and herbicides and high concentrations of these can cause significant side effects.
- Residual solvents testing: Lab tests should include an analysis of residual solvents. Solvents are used when the plant is processed and turned into oil, powder, or other products, but only for the solvent-based extraction process. Too high concentrations of solvents like propane, acetone, ethanol, and carbon dioxide can lead to unpleasant health effects and turn the product into a highly flammable one.
Why CBD Third-Party Lab Reports are So Important
In reality, CBD oil is only as good as its latest lab result.
Your biggest concern when purchasing CBD oil is verifying what is in the bottle. Unfortunately, there are CBD products on the market today that include everything from illegal doses of THC to prohibited synthetic cannabinoids. Also, perhaps not so shockingly given the loosely regulated nature of the industry, some sellers add a lot less CBD in the bottle than they advertise.
Third-party lab reports are especially important for the CBD industry. It's very easy for a company to make claims on the labels, but not all CBD products are manufactured equally. Nowadays, many brands offer third-party lab reports, often referred to as certificates of analysis (COA), and this is the key to knowing what is (and isn't) in your expensive CBD product.
Unfortunately, this opportunity has attracted quite a few poor-quality players who are out to make a quick buck. With no industry standards in place and without the guidance of the FDA, the quality of CBD products is very unpredictable. Unlabeled CBD products have become common, and more worryingly, there are reports of harmful synthetic knock-offs. This means that consumers need to be very cautious when shopping around for any CBD product, whether it be an oil tincture, capsules, edibles, gummies, etc.
A study that was done in 2017 by the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine in conjunction with Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine (and published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), found that the contents of high CBD products often vary drastically from the manufacturer's claim.
As part of this study, researchers tested a variety of hemp-based CBD products that were available to purchase online. The samples included CBD vape liquids, oil tinctures, and capsules which were blinded and tested by a third-party lab three separate times to determine the actual cannabinoid potency. Believe it or not, just 3 out of 10 CBD products tested within 10% of the amount listed on the product label.
Another recent report that was published in ArsTechnica found that nearly 70% of online products that claim to have CBD cannabis extracts are mislabeled. Out of 84 products that were sold online from 31 companies, just 31% had accurate CBD amounts stated on the label. Moreover, some products contained other components that weren't listed, such as illegal amounts of THC.

With just about a month to go until the rollout of BlackBerry 10, RIM is reaching out to customers and the public about how great it will be, hoping, no doubt, that customers will hold off buying an iPhone or Android phone or Windows Phone.
Will January 30, 2013 usher in an ironic future in which rebels bring their new BlackBerry devices into their iPhone-dominated offices, demanding that IT support them?
Below are 2 recent videos posted by RIM showing off features of the new OS and phones. Their most recent focus is the new HTML5-compliant BlackBerry web browser. The old or current, to tell the truth BlackBerry browser is so awful that BlackBerry users usually just make do without the web.
Of course, many love (or loved) their BlackBerries because of the excellent hard keyboard. Such BlackBerries will still be available, but RIM is putting a lot of marketing into their soft keyboard. RIM has put a lot of work into this keyboard to make it intelligent.
Just because you have a great product doesn't mean you'll be a success in the market. BlackBerry is still a big-enough deal that they will get exposure, get through to their users, especially to large businesses, and get into retail outlets.
If they pull it off, the Great BlackBerry Bounce will be the big story of 2013.

HLS readers:
I'm posting this on behalf of our lovely editor, Lauren Dodd, who is in Alabama for her MLS. Earlier today she posted an update on her own blog about the devastation there, and the HLS team wanted to share it here. Lauren is OK (yay!) as are the other folks in UA SLIS (double yay!), but they are asking for help to recover. I copied and pasted her original post below for you to read. A big thanks from Lauren and all the HLS folks for reading and for your help!
I wish I were updating this blog under better circumstances. It has truly been a great semester until now.
On Wednesday, April 27, the city of Tuscaloosa, Alabama was struck by an EF-5 tornado. Much of the city is demolished. The university where I have finished my MLIS, University of Alabama, was spared, but classes and exams have been cancelled, and graduation ceremony postponed until August. As far as I can tell, everyone I know is safe, but I have many friends, as well as SLIS faculty members, who have lost their apartments or houses. The damage is widespread, and there have been many deaths.
Click here for photos of the devastation in Tuscaloosa and pictures and videos of the tornadoes and damage statewide.
Tuscaloosa was not the only city struck that day — statewide, Alabama has lost over 200 lives. President Obama has declared a state of emergency and is sending federal aid. If you would like to help out with the relief efforts, even just a small donation ($10 or so) would be greatly appreciated. Here are SEVERAL easy ways you can help, whether you are in Alabama or far far away. See also Donate to UA SLIS (a fund for UA SLISers who have suffered damage and loss).
A huge THANK YOU in advance for any assistance you can provide.

CNN's Tom Foreman reports on the role Tom Cruise's Scientology faith played in his relationship with Katie Holmes.
Post by: Tom Foreman
Filed under: Pop Culture • Scientology
I'm really shocked that people are shocked. Who doesn't remember the 5 year prenup? Paying her basically, to be his wife. It's ALWAYS been staged, from day one. Like this is news, it's been written on the wall from day one.
I respect Tom Cruise, not scientology, and my respect comes from the fact that Cruise may well be the only person on the planet with the proper constitution and wealth to successfully navigate the church as it is today, even amidst the rigorous corruption that seems to so many all there is to grasp once you lose yourself to a faith of humans. He is the man at the helm, taking down the ship of fools, the real captain, even he must know, it's only him and he continues and that's I respect him
I have recently watched several interviews Cruise has done over the years re Scientology and have been struck by how fanatical he is -to the point of creepy. Also, he comes across as arrogant and intolerant of others' opinions (e.g. his interview with Matt Lauer). It is not much of a stretch to believe that he was controlling with Katie and she probably finally had enough. It is clear she adores her daughter and maybe felt it was in Suri's best interest for them to divorce.
Well....Everyone tried to tell her.......
I think Katie Homes didn't like Tom Cruise as she talked about. Tom made an incredible declaration of love in Oprah's show and it was impossible for her to turn it off. So, Holmes has accepted to engage and marry Tom. But it was always clear, as pure water, very clear in her false smile and in her loose look, that she was not with him. Naturally, she loves Suri, but she isn't suffering, because she is in good water, with some million of dollars in her account, after a divorce that only hurts Tom and his fans.
You do realize that Katie and Tom have a pre-nup and Katie will leave the marriage with only the money she brought into it, right?
The sooner she loses this egotistical nutcase the happier she and her daughter will be
"Cruise is just in 'mid-life crisis'. He's ten years older than his babe, and looking for exuses for his mis-comings. That's normal inbetween movies, but not when you really have to get between what counts in marriage!"
Tom Cruise is clearly having some kind of an identity crisis. If Scientology teaches the "good" in us, then why did Cruise interrupt Matt Lauer so much during that interview? There is a massive contradiction here. I think Tom is seeing the years slowly slip away and he wishes he could be Maverick all over again.
gee we never figured that out cnn. its been the problem with the last 2 wives also.....she needs to drop this chump, live with her daughter..and he needs alone time and needs go figure himself out, this goes beyond his beliefs..he has issues.
Anderson Cooper goes beyond the headlines to tell stories from many points of view, so you can make up your own mind about the news. Tune in weeknights at 8 and 10 ET on CNN.

It is our goal to keep your mouth healthy, your teeth fully functional, and your smile bright — and we are proud of all the services we offer to do exactly that. At the same time, we want you to understand all that modern dentistry in general has to offer you. To that end, we have assembled a first-rate dental library in which you can find a wealth of information on various dental topics, including:
Cosmetic & General Dentistry
From a thorough professional cleaning to a full smile makeover, there is an amazing array of services that cosmetic and general dentists offer to make sure your teeth stay healthy, function well and look great. If your smile is not all you want it to be, this is the place to start. Read more about Cosmetic & General Dentistry.
Emergency Dental Care
When you have a dental emergency — whether it's caused by a sudden accident or chronic disease — your teeth and/or the tissues of the mouth that surround them need to receive proper care right away. It's also important to be aware, before you're actually in the situation, of what you can do to ensure the best outcome. Read more about Emergency Dental Care.
This is the branch of dentistry that focuses on the inside of the tooth — specifically the root canals and sensitive, inner pulp (nerve) tissue. When this tissue becomes inflamed or infected, a root canal procedure may become necessary. But contrary to the popular myth, a root canal doesn't cause pain, it relives it. Read more about Endodontics.
Implant Dentistry
If you are missing one or more teeth, dental implants offer the comfort and security of a permanent replacement that looks and functions just like your natural teeth. Dental implants also help preserve the tooth-supporting bone in your jaw that naturally deteriorates when even one tooth is lost. Read more about Implant Dentistry.
Oral Health
Oral health is an essential component of general health and well-being. Good oral health means a mouth that's free of disease; a bite that functions well enough for you to eat without pain and get ample nutrition; and a smile that lets you express your happiest emotions with confidence. Read more about Oral Health.
Oral Hygiene
A major goal of modern dentistry is to help you keep your teeth and gums healthy for a lifetime. By following a conscientious program of oral hygiene at home, and coming to the dental office for routine cleanings and exams, you have the best chance of making this goal a reality. Read more about Oral Hygiene.
Oral Surgery
The word "surgery" often brings to mind a stay in the hospital, general anesthesia, and perhaps a lengthy recovery period. However, the experience of having oral surgery is usually very different from that. Some common oral surgery procedures include: tooth extractions, dental implant placement, and biopsies of suspicious oral lesions. Read more about Oral Surgery.
Adults and kids alike can benefit from the boost in self-confidence that comes from having a great-looking smile with beautifully aligned teeth. Orthodontic treatment can even improve chewing, speaking and oral hygiene in certain cases. And with today's virtually invisible orthodontic appliances, it's possible to keep your treatment a private matter… until your new smile is unveiled, of course! Read more about Orthodontics.
Pediatric Dentistry
It's never too early to get your child started on the path toward a lifetime of good oral health, and there are many services to do exactly that. Monitoring your child's dental growth and development, and preventing and intercepting dental diseases along the way, is the primary focus of pediatric dentistry. Read more about Pediatric Dentistry.
Periodontal Therapy
If you want to keep your teeth for life — a completely reasonable goal in this day and age — you need to make sure the tissues that surround them are also healthy. Should gum problems arise, you may need periodontal therapy to restore diseased tissues to health. Read more about Periodontal Therapy.
In the field of dentistry, new technology is constantly changing the way diseases are diagnosed, routine procedures are performed, and illnesses are prevented. Although they may seem unfamiliar at first, new and improved dental technologies offer plenty of real benefits for patients. Read more about Technology.
Dentistry is an art as well as a science; dental crowns offer a perfect example of this. A dental crown or "cap" is a covering that fits over a damaged, decayed or unattractive tooth. It can even replace a tooth entirely as part of dental bridgework.
A crown completely covers a tooth above the gum line. This is in contrast to a dental veneer, which only covers a tooth's front surface and needs natural tooth structure to support it. Therefore, if a tooth is missing a significant amount of structure above the gum line, a crown would be the restoration of choice.
Crowns strengthen damaged teeth, allowing them to function normally again. When crafted from today's high-tech porcelains (dental ceramics), crowns are virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth. They can even be designed to improve upon a tooth's original appearance.
There are other materials besides porcelain that we can use to make dental crowns, depending on what qualities are most important. For durability, cast gold can't be beat. However, this is not always the most aesthetic choice — especially towards the front of the mouth. Other possibilities include porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns (PFM), which have a metal interior for strength and a porcelain exterior for a more natural appearance, and all-porcelain crowns with zirconia, representing the strongest ceramic. We would be happy to discuss the pros and cons of these various options with you.
Crowning or Capping a Tooth
Crowning or capping a tooth will usually take two to three visits. At the first visit, your tooth is prepared to receive its new crown. First, it is shaped to fit inside the new covering. This will involve some drilling to give the tooth a uniform shape. The tooth and the surrounding area will be numbed beforehand. If there is very little tooth structure left to begin with, the tooth may have to be built up with filling material, rather than filed down, to support the crown.
After the tooth is prepared, impressions of your teeth are taken, either digitally or with reliable, putty-like impression materials, and sent to the dental laboratory. There, the impressions will be used to make models of your teeth for the creation of a crown. The models will serve as guides to the highly skilled lab technicians, who will ensure that your new crown is designed to enhance your smile and function well within your bite.
Before you leave the office, a temporary crown will be attached to your tooth to protect it until the permanent crown is ready. At the second visit, your permanent crown will be attached to your tooth with either a resin that hardens when exposed to a special light source, or a type of permanent cement.
Creating a Bridge
Crowns can also be used to create a lifelike replacement for a missing tooth. This is done with bridgework, which spans the space of the missing tooth and requires at least three crowns. Two of those crowns will be placed over healthy teeth on either side of the missing tooth; these healthy teeth are referred to as abutment teeth. The two crowned abutment teeth become supports for a third crown placed in between them; that third crown is referred to as a pontic. If more than one tooth is missing, more crowns will be needed to bridge the gap in between the abutment teeth.
The number of abutment teeth necessary to replace missing teeth is influenced by the number of missing teeth, the size and length of the abutment tooth roots, the amount of bone support each abutment tooth has, as well as where in the mouth the missing tooth is located. For example, if you have three missing teeth, four abutment teeth may be necessary, thereby creating a seven-tooth bridge. Engineering and designing of the bridge requires an understanding of how to replace teeth, as well as the biology of the supporting gum and bone tissue.
Caring for Your Crowns & Bridgework
Crowns and bridgework require the same conscientious care as your natural teeth. Be sure to brush and floss between all of your teeth — restored and natural — every day to reduce the buildup of dental plaque. When you have crowns, it is even more important to maintain your regular schedule of cleanings at the dental office. Avoid using your teeth as tools (to open packages, for example). If you have a grinding habit, wearing a nightguard would be a good idea to protect your teeth and your investment.

Buzzer beater keeps Miami from clinching 1st ACC basketball title
CORAL GABLES — Marcus Georges-Hunt followed his own miss for the winning tip-in at the buzzer Wednesday night, and Georgia Tech rallied past Miami 71-69 to prevent the Hurricanes from clinching the outright Atlantic Coast Conference title.
The Hurricanes (23-6, 14-3 ACC), who squandered a 13-point lead in the second half, lost for the third time in four games and fell to 13-1 at home. They were already assured of a share of the title and can still clinch the championship outright by winning their regular season finale at home against Clemson on Saturday.
Georgia Tech (16-13, 6-11) beat a Top 25 team for the first time since March 2010.
Julian Gamble's three-point play with 12 minutes to go put Miami up 56-45 before the Yellow Jackets rallied, taking the lead on Chris Bolden's layup following a steal with 3:38 to go.
After a basket by Tech's Daniel Miller's made it 69-all with 2:14 left, each team misfired. Robert Carter Jr. intercepted a pass by Durand Scott to set up the final possession with 35 seconds left.
Georges-Hunt drove into the lane and threw up a one-hander over Kenny Kadji that bounced off the rim. Georges-Hunt and Carter both appeared to get a hand on the rebound, and the tip-in was credited to Georges-Hunt for only his second basket of the game.
Bolden scored 21 points for Tech and went 4 for 8 from 3-point range. Miller added 17 points and five rebounds.
Tech stayed close by shooting 8 for 18 from 3-point range, including 6 for 10 in the second half. The narrow victory was a big turnaround for the Yellow Jackets, who had lost four league games by five points or less.
Kadji had 18 points and 11 rebounds for the Hurricanes while Scott had 17 points.
The near-sellout crowd, subdued for much of the night, came alive late in the game. As the Hurricanes' lead dissipated, coach Jim Larranaga waved his arms and fist and screamed "Let's go," desperate for defensive stops.
Offense was the bigger problem. Miami went 5 minutes without a field goal down the stretch and shot 36 percent in the second half.
The Hurricanes made six consecutive shots, capped by Kadji's 3-pointer, during a 14-0 run that put them ahead 25-14 midway through the first half. The margin was 43-32 at halftime.

Congress faces agenda of unfinished business
Mon., Nov. 12, 2012
WASHINGTON (AP) — Congress returns Tuesday to a crowded agenda of unfinished business overshadowed by the urgent need for President Barack Obama and lawmakers to avert the economic double hit of tax increases and automatic spending cuts.
One week after the elections — and seven weeks after they last gathered in Washington, Republicans and Democrats face a daunting task in a lame-duck session that Capitol Hill fears could last until the final hours of Dec. 31. But even before serious budget negotiations can begin, lawmakers will tackle leftover legislation on trade with Russia, military budgets and aiding farmers still reeling from the summer's drought.
The first days back will be a mix of old and new — choosing down-ballot leaders in the Senate while the 12 new members, three Republicans, eight Democrats and one independent, are introduced to their colleagues. The House will welcome some 70 new members who will get a crash course on how Congress operates with a class on ethics Wednesday.
While the nation's voters endorsed the status quo of divided government — a Democratic president and Senate, a Republican House — Obama cruised to re-election and his emboldened party gained seats in both the House and Senate. In the new political order, Democrats will hold a 55-45 edge in the Senate if independent Angus King of Maine caucuses with them as expected. Republicans' advantage in the House narrows and likely will stand at 233-201.
Democrats were leading in the six undecided House races in Arizona, California, Florida, North Carolina and Utah.
The question over the next seven weeks is whether Obama and Congress can agree now or later on how to slash $1.2 trillion from the deficit, raise revenues with possible changes in the tax code and address the entitlement programs of Social Security and Medicare. And they also have to figure out how to stop across-the-board cuts to defense and domestic programs totaling $110 billion next year.
Obama meets with congressional leaders at the White House on Friday. Democrats and Republicans recognize the urgency, but the demands remain unchanged.
"If our Republican counterparts can step forward with that revenue piece, we will be able to find a solution," Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., said Sunday on ABC's "This Week." "We can't accept an unfair deal that piles on the middle class and tell them they have to support it. We have to make sure that the wealthiest Americans pay their fair share."
The GOP insists that tax rate increases are a non-starter.
"There's a right way to do this and there's a wrong way to do it," Sen. Saxby Chambliss, R-Ga., said Sunday.
House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, has signaled that a solution is imperative.
"2013 should be the year we begin to solve our debt through tax reform and entitlement reform," he told reporters last week.
Crucial in the House this week is passage of legislation that would end Cold War trade restrictions so that U.S. exporters can take advantage of the lowered tariffs and greater market access that accompany Russia's entry into the World Trade Organization. Russia officially joined the WTO in August and the United States is alone among more than 150 WTO members in not being able to enjoy the more open Russian market.
The measure has been a top priority of U.S. business groups seeking to expand business in the growing Russian economy. To placate critics of Russia's poor human rights record, the trade bill is combined with legislation that would sanction Russian officials involved in human rights violations.
The Senate holds a procedural vote Tuesday on a sportsmen's bill that Republicans weren't keen on voting on before the election and handing a headline-grabbing win to Sen. Jon Tester of Montana, then considered one of the most vulnerable Democrats. Tester won anyway.
His bill combines 19 measures favorable to outdoorsmen, allowing more hunting and fishing on federal lands, letting bow hunters cross federal land where hunting isn't allowed and encouraging federal land agencies to cooperate with state and local authorities to maintain shooting ranges.
The bill also would allow 41 hunters — including two in Montana — who killed polar bears in Canada just before a 2008 ban on polar bear trophy imports took effect to bring the bears' bodies across the border. The hunters were not able to bring the trophies home before the Fish and Wildlife Services listed them as a threatened species.
A five-year farm bill passed by the Senate and by House committee last summer will either have to be extended into next year or passed in the remaining weeks of the session. The 2008 farm bill expired Sept. 30.
The bill's only real chance for passage is if lawmakers decide to use its savings as part of negotiations on the "fiscal cliff." The Senate bill would save $23 billion over 10 years and the House Agriculture Committee bill would save $35 billion over 10 years.
Otherwise, the bill will be extended into next year. Some Republicans have suggested a yearlong extension, but farm-state members and farm groups have said they would prefer a shorter extension to keep the pressure on for passage.
Though much of the work was done on the bill this year, it stalled this fall because of disagreements over food stamp spending. House leaders refused to bring the bill to the floor before the election, saying it didn't have enough votes.
Republicans have internally disagreed over cuts to food stamps, which make up about 80 percent of the half-trillion-dollar bill's cost over five years. The Senate bill would cut about $400 million a year out of the program's almost $80 billion annual cost while the House bill would cut about $1.6 billion from food stamps annually. Conservatives have said neither version makes deep enough cuts.
Legislation setting defense policy remains undone, and the House and Senate Armed Services committees were working informally in recent weeks on a bipartisan bill that both chambers could pass.
The House approved legislation months ago, but the Senate hasn't acted. The freestanding Senate bill has attracted more than 70 amendments and Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., is pressing for a time agreement that would limit amendments.
Republicans and Democrats will meet Wednesday morning in the Senate to decide leadership jobs, with Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, expected to move up to the GOP's No. 2 spot, replacing Sen. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz., who is retiring.
In the House, Reps. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Wash., and Rep. Tom Price, R-Ga., are vying for the No. 4 job.
The biggest question in the House ranks is whether Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., remains in her leadership job.

I have an oral presentation at the American Geophysical Union Fall Conference in San Francisco, December 4th, 3:25-3:40 pm. It is particularly timely, given the destruction left by Sandy and the growing discussions about storm surge barriers. And similarly, don't forget that there is the Kerry Emanuel NYC hurricane risk lecture Nov 15th at Columbia (public) with attendance by registration only.
|TITLE: Contrasting NYC Coastal Restoration and Storm Surge Barrier Impacts on Flooding
|AUTHORS (FIRST NAME, LAST NAME): Philip Mark Orton2, 1, Nickitas Georgas2, Alan F Blumberg2
|INSTITUTIONS (ALL): 1. Maritime Security Laboratory, Stevens Institute of Technology, Hoboken, NJ, United States.
2. Center for Maritime Systems, Stevens Institute of Technology, Hoboken, NJ, United States.
|ABSTRACT BODY: A detailed and well-validated hydrodynamic model is used to examine the potential effects of storm surge barriers and Jamaica Bay restoration on coastal flooding in New York City (NYC). The most recent flooding episode, the August 2011 tropical cyclone Irene, is utilized as a test case. Two experiments are run: (a) adding three storm surge barriers, and (b) reducing the depths of channels in Jamaica Bay towards their historical levels before extensive dredging took place. Results show that the surge barriers are an effective method for protecting the city center, but have a negative result of raising flood elevations outside the barriers. The rise is ~5% in the Jamaica Bay watershed, where most of NYC's low-lying vulnerable population is located. Shallowing Jamaica Bay reduces Irene's peak storm tide elevation by ~12% in the Bay, reduces normal high tide elevations, but also raises low tides and overall mean water levels. The reduction in storm tide flood elevations is enough to offset decades of anticipated sea level rise. In recent decades, tidal marsh islands in the Bay have been rapidly eroding. Further research should examine how the marshes would adapt to a managed long-term shallowing plan, as well as how their re-growth could provide additional flood protection.

Financial data source and analysis principles
The above is a comparative analysis of the financial position and performance of the company. The comparison is based on official financial statements filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) through the Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval system (EDGAR) (about 10,000 largest publicly traded companies). The comparison is performed using the eleven key financial ratios (see table above). Company's financial ratios are compared with the median values of ratios of all companies and of companies within the same industry, and also with the quartiles of those ratios. Each ratio value is given a score ranging from -2 and +2 depending on its position relative to the quartiles (-2 – below the first quartile; -1 – between the first and the second quartile; +1 – between the second and the third quartile; +2 – above the third quartile; 0 – the ratio value deviates from the median by no more than 5% of the difference between the median and the quartile closest to the ratio value). To draw a conclusion from the analysis the individual scores are weighted equally to get an overall score ranging from -2 and +2.
|much better (+1 - +2incl)
|better (from 0.11 to +1incl)
|about the same (from -0.11incl to +0.11incl)
|worse (from -1incl to -0.11)
|much worse (from -2incl to -1)
Change during the year is calculated by comparing the resulting score of financial position within the industry with the last year's (quarter's) score. The result of the comparison may be as follows:
|improved considerably (positive change of more than 1 point)
|improved (positive change of less than 1 point)
|unchanged (little or no change in score, no more than 0.11 points)
|deteriorated (the score has decreased by less than 1 point during the year)
|deteriorated considerably (the score has decreased by more than 1 point during the year)
Please note: The presented analysis does not indicate a poor or good financial position of the company, but gives its description relative to other U.S. businesses. For a detailed financial analysis please use "ReadyRatios Financial Analysis" - load the data into the program>>

HVAC to Whole-House Performance Contractor?
Transitioning from being a straight HVAC company to being one that focuses on whole-house performance contracting (WHPC) can be a smart move for a growing business. But it's not without challenges, and it takes a lot of upfront planning to be successful out of the gate. That's why DOE's Building America program created the Strategy Guideline: Transitioning HVAC Companies to Whole House Performance Contractors. This how-to guide, by Arlan Burdick of IBACOS, a Building America research team leader, explains how to make a successful transition to WHPC. "Achieving comfort isn't just about the HVAC components anymore: it's more about how the home performs as a system. HVAC contractors currently work on, and service, the most complicated equipment in a home, positioning them perfectly to affect overall performance. To do this, they'll need to broaden their education base and change how they view HVAC. Minimizing risk and maximizing whole-house efficiency have to become top priorities," says Burdick. (For more on Building America, see "Innovation in Housing Performance.")
Blaine Fox, of Warm Thoughts Communications and one of the industry experts who participated in the Building America work, thinks that many of the top HVAC companies will want to make the transition. "The best HVAC companies want the top position as the expert for providing both efficiency and comfort to their clients. They won't want to cede that to someone else," says Fox. Mary Ellen Conforti of Air Group, a large HVAC and WHPC company in New Jersey, notes that the expanded scope of work has been a plus for them. "We took on whole-house work as part of our offering, since we had the staff and systems in place from our HVAC business. We wanted to maintain control, so we invested in the training and equipment. It's been a very good move for us."
The Building America Strategy Guideline says that many HVAC companies, like Air Group, would like to take on the whole-house work themselves. But to succeed, they must know what it takes to provide those additional services. The strategy guideline provides clear guidance in this area, detailing transition strategies for moving from an HVAC business to one that incorporates WHPC. The strategies are distilled down into the specific tasks that vary between the two types of business, and they spell out how an HVAC company needs to adjust its practices for WHPC.
The typical integrated WHPC business operates in seven areas, each of which has specific business functions, as shown in Table 1. Some of these functions are different in WHPC companies than they are in HVAC companies. These functions are identified by shaded cells in the table.
Each business function breaks down further into specific work activities (not shown in table). For example, training includes technical training, safety training, training in management, and training in sales. Of all the work activities in a WHPC business, there are 15 for which a transitioning HVAC contractor will find guidance especially valuable. These are
- technical training;
- equipment requirements;
- relationship to vendors;
- strategic planning;
- customer education;
- community engagement;
- arrival process;
- conducting on-site customer interviews;
- assessing whole-house performance;
- customer package presentation;
- assessment reporting;
- state or local program reporting;
- work scope and procedures;
- job completion verification; and
- relationship to subcontractors.
Fact sheets to provide additional detail have been developed for eight of these work activities and are included in the strategy guideline. Each fact sheet begins with a brief description of the issue and provides concise how-to information for the transitioning contractor as well as links to other resources. The following are excerpts from the Vendor Relations and Subcontractor Relations fact sheet:
Home performance contractors are dependent on a large network of partnerships that contribute in important ways to the completion of comprehensive home improvements. Vendors are essential in providing the necessary systems, appliances, and materials that will need to be installed, while subcontractors will often perform the actual installations. Establishing strong relationships on both sides of this supply chain will help you complete quality work in a timely and cost-effective manner, which, in turn, will contribute to your good reputation.
Vendors—Best Practices
There are a number of factors to look for when choosing vendors to supply the materials for your home performance jobs. Cost is one factor, but other considerations are important as well. Keep in mind the following issues when evaluating which vendors to work with:
- Price versus quality. While a low price will help you make competitive bids, in the long run your reputation can be more impacted by the vendor's service, reliability, and quality. Find vendors who balance all of these factors well.
- Technical support. For complex systems, you may need vendors with the technical expertise and quality of service to provide guidance both during and after installation.
- The right product. Find vendors or work to get your preferred vendor to stock the best products for your home performance jobs. Don't necessarily trust that what they have always carried will suffice. Research the best home performance products (for example, spray foam kits, duct mastic, caulking, and HVAC equipment) and make sure your vendors keep these in stock.
- Loyalty versus shopping around. Sticking with one or just a few vendors can increase your quality of service and sometimes bring volume discounts. On the other hand, spreading out your orders allows you to search for lower prices and more easily meet designer, program, or customer specifications. Choose the option that works best for your business.
Once you have chosen your vendors, follow these guidelines to help you build and maintain productive relationships that will keep your interactions flowing smoothly:
With every transaction, fill out a clearly written purchase order that specifies exactly what you expect to have delivered and when.
Before completing your supply order, make sure you have established delivery and invoicing procedures that both parties agree upon.
Try to avoid last-minute/expedited orders and frequent order changes to increase the chances of getting the correct supplies on time and on budget.
Consider signing written agreements with key vendors that clarify the basic processes of your interactions and make them routine.
Subcontractors—Best Practices
Given the wide range of measures that often need to be installed as part of comprehensive home performance improvements, you may find yourself lacking certain types of expertise. This raises the question of whether you should try to develop the required knowledge in-house or partner with subcontractors for some of the work. Factors to consider when making this decision include the following:
- Work flow. Hiring subcontractors may make sense for jobs that tend to be intermittent and unpredictable. Keeping employees on hand for this type of work may not be worth the cost.
- Quality control. Keeping your work in-house gives you direct oversight of all work that is done and can cut down on conflicts and complications. On the other hand, the benefits may not be worth it if a subcontractor with a good reputation can provide greater technical expertise.
- Timeliness. Subcontractors maintain their own schedules and may run into scheduling conflicts or be unavailable for a particular job. However, the flexibility of hiring subcontractors only when needed can still be cost-effective.
Assuming you do choose to use subcontractors in at least some cases, the following tips will help you build and maintain productive relationships with them:
Require contractors to demonstrate proper licensing and other credentials and provide references that establish their capacity to perform competent, quality work.
Be sure that all subcontractors carry proper insurance and workers' compensation policies. Your own provider can advise you on whether a subcontractor's policies should name you as an additional insured for a given job.

You'll find a wealth of helpful information, including the Strategy Guideline: Transitioning HVAC Companies to Whole House Performance Contractors, on Building America's Publications web page:
Set a time line for job completion and establish clear milestones that will keep everyone on schedule.
Perform regular inspections of your subcontractors' work to correct any problems before they become too large.
Set clear expectations about the level of quality you require, including conditions for termination based on underperformance and incentives for exceptional work.
Be sure to follow federal guidelines that define a subcontractor versus an employee. Consult with your legal advisor to be sure you do not cross this line unintentionally.

Innovation in Housing Performance
DOE's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Building Technologies program (BTP) strives to bring energy-efficient products and services to the nation to save consumers and businesses money, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, grow the domestic economy, and improve U.S. energy security. More specifically, the residential arm of BTP aims to reduce the energy required to operate existing residential buildings by 40–50% at a cost less than the cost of the energy saved (1,250 trillion Btu in annual savings by 2020; 4,500 trillion Btu by 2030).
The residential arm of BTP has six key initiatives designed to support the reduction of energy use in the residential buildings sector. These initiatives are
- Building America—developing key innovations for home performance;
- Solar Decathlon—inspiring the next generation of high-performance home professionals;
- Challenge Home—helping builders and consumers build and buy high-performance homes;
- Better Buildings Neighborhood Program—working with state and local governments to encourage their citizens to reduce energy use;
- Home Energy Score—providing a way for homeowners and industry to compare home energy performance;
- Home Performance with Energy Star—helping homeowners to make whole-house energy improvements; and
- Guidelines for Home Energy Professionals—laying the foundation for a trained workforce.
The Building America program, creator of the Strategy Guideline: Transitioning HVAC Companies to Whole House Performance Contractors, works to develop major technical and business innovations that transform the performance of new and existing homes and the U.S. housing market. This premiere residential research program has been working for nearly two decades to develop compelling solutions to building science problems facing the U.S. housing industry. Solutions developed as part of Building America's research program have improved energy performance and occupant health in homes and increased building durability and safety.
Each year, the Building America program rolls out guidance and tools on a variety of critical issues that affect high-performance homes. These tools are based on the latest research. They are catalogued as Building America innovations, and fall into four general categories: Advanced Technologies and Practices, House-as-a-System Business Case, Effective Guidance and Tools, and Infrastructure Development.
This year, in addition to a cadre of technical solutions, the Building America program will roll out a significant new innovation—the Building America Solutions Center—that will organize Building America research results and other critical resources into one easy-to-access library of tools and resources.
The Strategy Guideline showcases the kind of innovative solutions and best practices developed by the Building America program. You can find more solutions to these and other business and technical challenges related to home performance at www.buildingamerica.gov.

Louis C.K.'s Explanation of Why He Hates Smartphones Is Sad, Brilliant
In a clarion call that will likely rival his insta-legendary "everything's amazing and nobody's happy" diatribe delivered nearly five years ago on Late Night with Conan O'Brien, comedian Louis C.K. explains — to Conan, once again — exactly why he dislikes the culture of smartphones and why he would never get one for his kids.
C.K. starts off by suggesting that smartphone usage is the reason kids today are meaner:
I think these things are toxic, especially for kids...they don't look at people when they talk to them and they don't build empathy. You know, kids are mean, and it's 'cause they're trying it out. They look at a kid and they go, 'you're fat,' and then they see the kid's face scrunch up and they go, 'oh, that doesn't feel good to make a person do that.' But they got to start with doing the mean thing. But when they write 'you're fat,' then they just go, 'mmm, that was fun, I like that.'
From there, C.K. moved on to expound on the larger issue: The negative emotional effect that smartphones have on grown-ups.
While C.K. agrees that smartphones can help create a sense of community, he believes that therein lies the problem:
You need to build an ability to just be yourself and not be doing something. That's what the phones are taking away, is the ability to just sit there. That's being a person. Because underneath everything in your life there is that thing, that empty—forever empty. That knowledge that it's all for nothing and that you're alone. It's down there.
And sometimes when things clear away, you're not watching anything, you're in your car, and you start going, 'oh no, here it comes. That I'm alone.' It's starts to visit on you. Just this sadness. Life is tremendously sad, just by being in it...
That's why we text and drive. I look around, pretty much 100 percent of the people driving are texting. And they're killing, everybody's murdering each other with their cars. But people are willing to risk taking a life and ruining their own because they don't want to be alone for a second because it's so hard.
Finally, C.K. brings it all together with an anecdote about the time he was in his car listening to a Bruce Springsteen song ("Jungleland") that made him really sad:
And I go, 'oh, I'm getting sad, gotta get the phone and write "hi" to like 50 people'...then I said, 'you know what, don't. Just be sad. Just let the sadness, stand in the way of it, and let it hit you like a truck.'
And I let it come, and I just started to feel 'oh my God,'and I pulled over and I just cried like a bitch. I cried so much. And it was beautiful. Sadness is poetic. You're lucky to live sad moments.
And then I had happy feelings. Because when you let yourself feel sad, your body has antibodies, it has happiness that comes rushing in to meet the sadness. So I was grateful to feel sad, and then I met it with true, profound happiness. It was such a trip.
The thing is, because we don't want that first bit of sad, we push it away with a little phone or a jack-off or the food. You never feel completely sad or completely happy, you just feel kinda satisfied with your product, and then you die. So that's why I don't want to get a phone for my kids.
