How did the Aloe Life company begin?
A clinical nutritionist, Karen Masterson-Koch began researching Aloe Vera in her practice 12 years ago. She began seeing remarkable results with her Cancer, HIV, Chronic Fatigue and all patients upon their use of a quality Whole Leaf Aloe Vera juice. The potency of the products on the market were so low that a patient had to spend too much money to achieve the potency needed to greatly effect ones health. That led Mrs. Masterson to formulate the Aloe Life products, that so many individuals benefit from by daily use today.
Does the Whole Leaf juice contain more active ingredients than inner gel?
Yes. The entire leaf may contain as many as 200 active elements not available in the inner gel alone that support health according to Dr. Robert Davis, Ph.D., microbiologist and renowned Aloe Vera researcher. The valuable yellow sap is only found in whole leaf Aloe Vera products. Note: Many companies filter out all of the yellow sap even if Whole Leaf is indicated. Aloe Life leaves the highest allowable level of yellow sap in their products providing many benefits to an individual including anti bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor and digestive support.
Aloe Life
Aloe Life International developed out of a dream to help make the world population healthier! A family owned company, Aloe Life, began fourteen years ago. The inspiration came from two people; a clinical nutritionist researcher, Karen Masterson, and a world renowned yacht builder, entrepreneur, Terry Koch. The complement of Ms. Masterson as a health professional with twenty years of clinical experience working with medical doctors, acupuncturists, chiropractors, hospital dietetics, and her use of supplements, herbs including Aloe Vera coupled with the strong support for business sense from her husband, launched their company. Ms. Masterson gave up her clinic hours four years ago to dedicate time to writing about health and the great value Aloe Vera can give the public. "People need answers to health questions. Most people are very confused about what keeps people healthy including our physicians."
Immunology, allergy and bowel disorders are expertise areas that Ms. Masterson has researched and applied the natural therapies of diet, supplements and herbs with great success. Her mentor was the famous Dr. Virginia Livingston-Wheeler, M.D., immunologist, who is known for her pioneering work in vaccine therapy and health support for cancer patients. "The most fascinating experience working at the clinic, was to see the cancerous areas of a patients body darkened on an x-ray before they began Dr. Livingston's program and then observe the progress of many patients as the cancer resolved without chemotherapy exhaustion. Some patients went into full remission and all of them lived longer and felt more like living. The body can heal itself - if it has an opportunity," says Ms. Masterson.
Ms. Masterson is most well known for her contribution of eight years to the education and health maintenance of people living with HIV. She has lectured to many groups across the country, authored a self help book on how to stay healthier with HIV and even traveled across the Atlantic to meet with the public health of Norway to share her knowledge of the HIV Virus. She enjoyed speaking to 12 step audiences in half way houses and worked on several government grants for health education including programs for the Vietnam Vets Association and spoke to Navy hospital patients concerning HIV. Many of her patients have been considered long term survivors and she attributes this to their collective health practices.
Because of Ms. Masterson's dedication to finding answers to health problems, she has spent the past decade, researching Aloe Vera specifically and applying her knowledge with hundreds of patients. She knows the plants limitations and also what this herbal plant can do when taken internally and applied topically.
Through diligent work and keeping their vision - the dream is unfolding for Aloe Life. Aloe Life health products are based on the ancient herb Aloe Vera, other natural herbs, nutrients and emollients. Extensive research, special processing, laboratory testing and a modern Texas facility bring to the market products filled with essential life nutrients which increase energy and optimize health.
Aloe Life's Mission is to teach others how to live a healthier life with quality aloe vera health products and knowledge. By providing safe choices through knowledge for individuals and tools by which to meet their health goals, Aloe Life is becoming a leader in responsible nutrition. We are a green company. All of Aloe Life's packaging is Recycleable. Please be a responsible consumer and recycle all of the Aloe Life packages after use!

Brain Aneurysm: Endovascular Coil Embolization
Topic Overview
Endovascular coil embolization is becoming a standard treatment option for people with a brain aneurysm. It may be used for people who are at high risk for complications from a surgical repair of the aneurysm.
Endovascular coil embolization involves packing the aneurysm with a soft platinum coil that fills the stretched and bulging section of blood vessel. This helps seal off the aneurysm and reduces the risk of the aneurysm leaking blood or rupturing. The doctor uses X-rays to identify the aneurysm and to guide the coil through the blood vessel to the aneurysm.
The success of this treatment depends on the size and location of the aneurysm, the skill of the doctor, and the person's general health. Complications include bleeding from the aneurysm or movement of the coils in the blood vessel.
Studies are being done to determine the long-term success of this treatment and how to prevent complications. In cases where endovascular coil embolization is not possible, aneurysm clipping with craniotomy is done.

The Waldorf-Astoria was everything I expected it to be -- old fashioned elegance with modern amenities and the most attentive staff, from the valets to the front desk to the concierge to the housekeepers in the hallways. Everyone was wonderful. The location was great -- a few short blocks from Rockefellor Center and St. Patrick's and Grand Central and Central Park. I've had family and friends recommend the Marriott Marquis in Times Square, but I definitely preferred the location on Park Avenue -- bagels and coffee and slices of pizza and formal dining of all kinds all within a block or two on the east side. Just perfect.
The air conditioning could have been a little crisper. It felt like it wasn't taking all the humidity out of the air. (Our sheets felt damp. Cool, but damp.) Other than that, I loved every bit of our stay.

Check-in/Check-out receptionists are extremely rude and unhelpful. I spoke with 2 receptionists before and after check-in/check-out and they were both dismissive to my questions refusing to answer simple questions like where can I find certain amenities. One of the female receptionists had the audacity to tell me to go online and look up amenities and services the hotel offers! What is the hotel hiring these clowns for, just to simply run your credit card and give you your room key. No skills in customer service and proper human interaction for that matter. I will not be staying at this hotel again if they continue to hire incompetent staff. This is unacceptable in the industry, especially for the location. The area and it's visitors are wealthy high class people, so to be treated with such low class service is s disgrace. I will be telling all of my business contacts to go elsewhere. Sorry, but instead of losing just 1 customer, you've now lost about 20 that I would've referred to you, but I will be making sure none of my close business contacts frequent your god-awful hotel because of your disgraceful receptionists.

I am super picky about clean nice hotels and rooms and they did well here. Its just a cool hotel and will be staying there again for sure. Also, no attitude from the staff, very responsive and friendly, they actually care about your stay. Oh and Starbucks right down stairs was a great touch as well as the diner. And last but not least there is a club right around the corner close to the hotel so if you want to have a few drinks and dance and get back to your hotel in 45 seconds, its great.

We loved the location. We were in New York and we were extremely close to all of the things we really wanted to see while on our vacation. Or if we weren't close, we were a short subway ride away. Beautiful hotel, very clean, and very quiet. We were concerned about the possible noise from the New York streets, but we couldn't hear a peep. It was perfect. And the soaking tub in the bathroom was amazing! I want one in my own home! We were very comfortable.
My husband thought the whole hotel was too dark. Especially the lobby. I would agree to say that the lobby was very dark, but I didn't really mind it. It wasn't like we were going to be spending a lot of time in the lobby anyway. And another thing; every day we left our "Do Not Disturb; sign on our door because when staying in hotels we worry about our things disappearing. But one of the days we came back and our room had been visited by housekeeping, so we quickly looked around to make sure all of our things were accounted for. And thankfully, everything was there. We were happy that the staff was respectful of our things, but we were confused by the fact that the sign was still on the door and they came in anyway.

P-Bruins Add Veteran of 15 Seasons
Harkins, who hails from North Ridgeville, Ohio, split the 1994-95 and 1996-97 seasons between Providence and Boston. Drafted by the New York Islanders 133rd overall in the 1989 NHL Entry Draft, Harkins played one season with the Adirondack Red Wings (AHL) before being traded to Boston. In his first season with the P-Bruins, the left wing scored 23 goals and added 69 assists for a team-high 92 points. Harkins enjoyed his first NHL call up with the Boston Bruins during the 1994-95 season, recording an assist in one game with the Black and Gold.

Fire district manages risks
years ago two volunteer firefighters died attempting a confined space
rescue in the central Washington town of Zillah. When the legal dust settled,
the local fire district was out several million dollars in compensation to the
surviving families.
North Whatcom Fire & Rescue Service (NWFRS) chief Mike Campbell cited this story as a kind of handwriting on the wall for the three local fire districts that comprise NWFRS. Another factor affecting the cost of insurance is the standards that have been adopted nationally by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), Campbell added, which, if not met locally, increase our liability exposure if something goes wrong. The standards have to do with response times and volunteer training and qualification, and with changing legal definitions about what constitutes volunteer work.
Campbell presented a two-pronged attack to this problem for the NWFRS commissioners to consider at their regular meeting October 11, held this time in Point Roberts. One was the new Whatcom County Fire and Training Institute that was described at some length by its director Neil Good of fire district #4. With an inter-agency agreement the institute, located on district #4 property on Britton Loop Road, would provide training to a specified legal standard for volunteers in all participating fire districts in the county.
Weve received a favorable response and encouragement from every other fire district and related governmental unit in the county, said Good as he stood at the blackboard and described the plans advantages.
Goods plan calls for an inter-local agreement involving all the fire districts in the county plus the fire departments in Bellingham and Lynden who will cooperatively fund and staff the institute. NWFRS would be allowed to offer staffing and program development in lieu of funding contributions under the proposal. The commission will decide whether or not to commit itself to this plan at their next meeting.
The other part of Campbells agenda involved looking at insurance coverage. At district #5 we saved several thousand dollars in premiums by changing our coverage. But sometimes public servants want the Cadillac coverage anyway if there are significant risks, such as in firefighting.
Is there a Volkswagen? interjected commissioner John Fisher.
Well, thats the issue, said Campbell. We can reduce our premiums as well as other costs for each district by extending coverage over all of NWFRS and by better training, too. Liability coverage for each volunteer firefighter can run into several hundred dollars, but if the coverage is written to cover all three districts then the premiums go down for each, and tuition for training the volunteer at the institute is refunded by the state. Youll get a trained volunteer at lower risk and much lower insurance cost.
Two companies, along with their local representatives, made presentations for the commissioners. The choice will be made at the next meeting of the NWFRS commission, November 15 at the Haynie fire hall at 7 p.m. The commission will also make decisions on a final NWFRS budget.

Fabolous Still Stomaching Kendrick Lamar Diss, Young Dro's Comeback On Deck, Madden 25 Is Here
Toasty Tuesday. It's a day to toast to new things so why not start it off with Fabolous contemplating his feelings about Kendrick Lamar? One thing's for certain and it's that Young Dro is ready to make his full-fledged music comeback with some help from big friends. Something that's sort of a big deal is the new Madden 25 game and the trailers are must-watch stuff. All this coming up in SOHH Whatcha Think.
[Editor's Note: The views expressed in this column do not necessarily reflect those of SOHH]
1. Can't Stomach It
If there's one rapper who could be considered the Prince of New York, it's gotta be Fabolous. He's been in the game for a minute and balanced out lovey records with hardcore hip-hop tunes. So for him to be a bit confused about Kendrick Lamar's "Control" lyrics and notably the "King of New York" line is pretty reasonable. VLAD TV has him breaking down his thoughts:
"You know I had mixed feelings. At first I thought it was—something that he shouldn't have said. You have to address it, but after speaking to some of the OG's and getting some research behind it and figuring it out, I had more of an understanding of it. On the surface, everybody just was in shock…The king of New York was a little shaky, but like I said I got a little research behind it. I heard it was Kurupt's line before his…I almost jumped the gun. I'm not gon' lie. I kinda felt it out. An OG also told me that if you do, do it on your time when it works for you. Sometimes I feel like it turns into an attention thing. Like 'Alright, this is the big talk of Hip Hop right now. Let me jump on it.' You know what I'm saying? So, it got a little tainted to me. So, that was also a reason in my decision. And it was a few things that slowed me down." (VLAD TV)
Can you respect Fabolous stance? It would have been great to hear him spit some bars back at Kendrick but the more you think about it, it seems very much like an attention thing. When you have so many no-name rappers dropping disses, Fab joining in could have hurt his image, no? #SOHHWhatchaThink?
2. Dro'd Up
Is Young Dro really back? You would imagine so with the relase of a new "FDB" remix that has pretty much ever relevant artist in the game right now including T.I., French Montana and even Trinidad James. Miss Info TV is on it:
Young Dro carries on the momentum with his current "FDB" single by upping the ante with an official remix. The Polo King sticks to his Grand Hustle set as DJ Drama and T.I. make appearances along with fellow ATLien Trinidad Jame$. Dro reaches out to New York for some east coast love as French Montana adds a verse to his bouncy street cut. Purchase on iTunes now.
Is this a sign of more bigger things to go down for Dro? It's been forever since he last had his album drop and there's not been enough music from him to really suffice. This could be his last shot at winning fans over or is it too late? #SOHHWhatchaThink?
3. It's Here
The game of all games is here. Don't get it wrong, NBA 2K is an excellent title but the competition Madden brings out of people is pretty unprecedented. Prepare to see non-stop promotion and trailers for this new title. Free OnSmash has a pretty funny clip:
In a few hours when your clock strikes midnight, Madden NFL 25 will be releasing at retailers. Looking at the NFL, the San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks are two of the league's top teams and are the favorites by many to meet in the NFC Championship game.
The two starting quarterbacks for San Fran and Seattle, Colin Kaepernick and Russell Wilson have a long-standing rivalry even before the NFL. In the latest trailer for Madden, we see where it all began from playing Madden during their adolescent years transcending into future stars of the league as adults. You can check after the jump to watch the trailer and get your body ready for the gridiron in a few hours. (Free OnSmash)
Could this really go down as the best Madden game of all-time? 25 years of Madden all bottled into one title? Have you picked up your copy yet? #SOHHWhatchaThink?
Are you ready for some football? Is this your time to shine? Check out today's Madden 25 exclusive feature and get your hands on the must-have game of the summer!

New York • When music producer Jeff Bhasker — the mastermind behind fun.'s breakthrough — had thoughts of becoming a musician, the high-school student in the jazz band figured he would play keyboard for a talented singer looking to carve a space in the musical universe.
"In the jazz world you become a sideman, say with like Miles Davis. You become Miles Davis' keyboard player and then you learn from Miles, and then you have your own group," he explained.
Grammy Awards
The 2013 Grammy Awards will be broadcast at 7 p.m. Feb. 10 on Channel 2/CBS.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
The eager musician was hoping to have a breakthrough like Herbie Hancock did with Davis. And Bhasker did — but with Kanye West.
The Berklee College of Music graduate began playing piano for the multiplatinum rapper in 2008. And then he became West's musical director. And then the two went into the recording studio.
"I learned so much from being around that moment and grabbing onto the rocket. It happened really fast," said Bhasker, who produced several tracks on West's albums "808's & Heartbreak" and "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy."
Between those West records, Bhasker's name — and drum-filled sound — popped up on credible liner notes: He produced for Alicia Keys. And Jay-Z. And Beyoncé. And Bruno Mars.
And now the producer is really having fun — thanks to the band fun.
Crafting anthemic jams like "We Are Young" and "Some Nights" for the New York-based trio — who released their underwhelming debut in 2009 — not only made fun. a household name, it made Bhasker even bigger. Now the hitmaker is nominated for four Grammy Awards, including nonclassical producer of the year and album of the year for helming all 11 tracks on fun.'s sophomore release, "Some Nights."
"First and foremost, it's about hearing for him. He's not out to make a quick buck," said Nate Ruess, the lead singer of fun. "You meet a lot of producers, especially in the pop world, where they don't have any emotional attachment to the music. I've even sat in like writing sessions with people where it's just lifeless, and Jeff is the exact opposite. He brings emotion. He only wants to do things that move him."
The Grammy stage isn't unfamiliar to Bhasker — he's already won two trophies for best rap song in 2009 and 2011 for co-writing Jay-Z's "Run This Town" and West's "All of the Lights." This year, he's also nominated for record and song of the year for his work on fun.'s No. 1 hit "We Are Young." The band earned six nominations — including best new artist — and is tied for most nominations at the Feb. 10 awards show.
"The whole time we were making the album I really, every day I was saying, 'We're making album of the year,' " Bhasker said of producing "Some Nights."
Ruess said he recruited Bhasker to executive produce his band's entire album because of the producer's impressive résumé and style. Bhasker helped usher in West's Auto-Tune-flavored, melodic and synth-pop sound in 2008, co-producing songs like "Love Lockdown" and "Paranoid." Months after fun. released its album, Taylor Swift worked with Bhasker on two songs for her best-selling "Red" album, which takes the singer even further from her country roots to pop domination.
Oh, and the Rolling Stones called Bhasker, too.
"It's so tricky because you don't want to mess with the Rolling Stones and the essence of what they do," said Bhasker, who produced "radio mixes" of the band's new jams, "Doom and Gloom" and "One More Shot." "But I tried to bring a little bit of a contemporary twist to it."
Mars, who used to play live with Bhasker when they met years ago, also enlisted the hitmaker to co-produce the majority of his recently released sophomore album, "Unorthodox Jukebox."
"My brother would play drums and I'd play guitar, and I would beg Jeff — this amazing, incredible piano player, producer, musical genius — to come perform with me so I could make this 100 bucks, and he would drive all the way from Santa Monica to the Valley to do these gigs with me," Mars said of his relationship with Bhasker years ago. "And we'd play covers and have fun and get drunk."
Mars said Bhasker — whom he calls a "mad scientist" of a producer — was one of the first people he collaborated with when he moved to Los Angeles to pursue his career.
"We were both kind of wet behind the ears. And then one day he called me and was like, 'I'm going on tour with Kanye West' and I was like, 'What about the band bro? What about the band?' He said, 'F your band,' " Mars recalled in laughs. "And it's nice to reunite and do what we never did — which was finish a song."
India-born Bhasker, who grew up in New Mexico, said he decided in high school that he was going to pursue music professionally, though his family was full of doctors and was unsure about his choice. Bhasker says he and his relatives are happy he chose a musical route, and he'll get to show even more of himself when he releases his solo debut, "Born on the 4th of July," this year. He performs under the moniker Billy Kraven and says the album's theme is about soldiers, "what they have to face when they go to war and the concept of death."
"I really got sick of writing songs about love and girls, which is the great basis of it, but something in me wanted to write what was going on in Iraq and Afghanistan, and if anything, just to have a conversation about it," explained Bhasker, who said he drew inspiration from listening to NPR and watching the HBO series "Generation Kill."
"In the past in rock 'n' roll and pop music, it was more common to address social issues and bring people together," he added.Next Page >

"Great card for boy/girl twins! Love the bright colors and the polka dots on the back of the card. A little smaller size than I expected, but still a fun card."
"This card is so perfect and dainty. I bought it as a baby gift for a friend. It is great for a baby girl or a big girl! I used an all lowercase font to make it more juvenile and informal. The quality of the paper is better than I expected."
"I think this card fit exactly what I wanted. Nothing to flashy, but perfect to express our thanks to our family and friends for celebrating with us. Love the idea of it!"
"We used this beautiful card as our son's birthday thank you cards. The paper & quality were excellent. We changed the layout to portrait and changed the font for his name to Kids Play Bold to make it less formal. The text came out lovely. The size of the card was perfect. We reorder more cards to have as general thank you cards since the design is so simple."
"This is such a pretty little card. I love the quality of the paper and printing. Impeccable service and products every time I have used Tiny prints. The only thing I don't like is the logo on the back..."

Embrace Your Belly! S.E.A.K. Can Help With That
Written on April 19, 2012 at 11:41 am , by Jenna Autuori
Are you that girl that wants to rip off your tank during a grueling Tabata class or during an extra hot and sweaty indoor cycling class, or maybe the heat in Bikram yoga just makes you feel so free that you want to…? Are you thinking how great it would be to lose the shirt and sport that pretty Lululemon sports bra, but you're wondering is everyone else OK with me being OK with this? Wonder no more. Embrace this feeling, love your body, feel the sweat and let it all out!
Sometimes there is one moment that has more of an impact than you even thought it could—that's what happened when SoulCycle instructor Jenny Gaither expanded a one-time sports bra challenge class into an entire movement. She wanted to empower more than a single classroom to push past their insecurities and really love their lady curves—and show the world they can rock it in a sports bra. So next month on May 17, Jenny's nonprofit organization, the S.E.A.K. (Strive Embrace Achieve Know) Foundation will host it's debut event in Union Square Park. This can't-miss movement called the Sports Bra Challenge will be an outdoor workout, packed with back-to-back turbo-charged 100 seat SoulCycle cycling classes and a group yoga session led by popular yogi Halle Becker. All proceeds raised on this day will go to the S.E.A.K. Foundation, which will initiate and support after-school programs to help young girls face body image issues and promote positive self-esteem when it's needed most; and the City of Hope, an organization which supports women going through chemotherapy and rehabilitation during medial treatments.
The Sports Bra Challenge asks you to take a look at yourself and be proud of where you are with your body—so pull out that best sports bra and hop on a bike or hit a mat this May during Women's Health Week. You don't have to be there on May 17th to participate—ask your favorite gym class to host a sports bra only day and raise money to donate to these charities.
I scored a coveted seat at last week's kickoff event at SoulCycle Union Square and a sampler of instructors brought out their best tunes and tricks—a little taste of what I know is to come! Registration for seats are open now and although prices aren't cheap—get your charity sites up (set up your own and create a PayPal account)—you're sure to feel good about being part of this day.
Bonus: Hosted by the girls who got their groove back, Biggest Loser winner and runner-up Olivia Ward and her sister Hannah Curlee, and a surprise guest (Lady Gaga is that you!?) who will be motivating you to move!
Check out this movement that's sure to touch anybody who's ever thought about rocking it in a sports bra! (Need some inspiration? Check out our favorites!)

(Toledo News Now) - More and more stores are turning to bonuses and freebies instead of sales.
Freebies or markdowns: Which do you prefer? While most of us love a sale, a new study finds that simply lowering prices doesn't get people to buy more, but adding a free bonus does. Shoppers Ignoring Lower Prices JC Penney made headlines earlier this year with its new everyday low price strategy. But shoppers, for the most part, shrugged, and sales dropped 15 percent. Why? A new study by the Journal of Marketing claims shoppers prefer bonuses to markdowns. For example, BOGO deals (buy one get one). The Journal did a test where a store marked down a product 35 percent for a week, then offered "50 percent more free" for a second week. The store sold much more with the 50 percent free promotion, even though it was not the better deal. The markdown actually was a better value. Doesn't That Stink? From the "doesn't that stink" file, what this means to you. It means that stores have found a way to avoid huge markdowns, but still make you think you are getting one. Doesn't that stink?So next time you see an ad promising a free iPod if you buy something, you'll know the reason. That little freebie sells more products than a big markdown. It's all basic psychology.

Comments about Long Straight Blonde Adult Wig:
I'm a beginner cosplayer perfectionist who spent MONTHS looking for an affordable, presentable wig for my Otis Driftwood (House of 10000 Corpses, The Devil's Rejects) costume.
Since the wig was so cheap and this wasn't a cosplay site, I was really worried about the quality of the wig, but I was pretty darn impressed!
Besides being itchy after a while and squeezing my wig cap off after a while, it fit really well and didn't fall off or move around. The color is just like in the picture and the shine and what not is really realistic. The biggest thing that amazed me is the hair IS SO SOFT! I love it!
However, it's not very much, so it's not top-grade quality. The part is very obviously fake and there's always a shadow underneath it at your forehead that looks like your hair. It's great that you can actually brush the thing without ruining it, but it does lose a bit more hair than I would like and it's easily wind-tangled.
Overall, the wig was beyond my expectations and I was SO pleased with the outcome of my costume.
If you're not into costumes as a hobby or you're not an OCD perfectionist, this wig is absolutely perfect. It's not expensive, and you won't look like a trainwreck.

FILE - This undated file photo shows Josephine County Sheriff Gil Gilbertson in his office in Grants Pass, Ore. Gilbertson is one of a growing number of rural sheriffs and lawmakers vowing to ignore any new gun control legislation, or even make it a crime for federal officials to enforce federal gun policy. Gilbertson and others have written to Vice President Joe Biden, who headed a gun violence taskforce for the president, saying they will ignore any rule, regulation or executive order they find goes against the Constitution, and will not allow federal officers to enforce them, either. (AP Photo/Mail Tribune, Bob Pennell, File)
GRANTS PASS, Ore. (AP) — From Oregon to Mississippi, President Barack Obama's proposed ban on new assault weapons and large-capacity magazines struck a nerve among rural lawmen and lawmakers, many of whom vowed to ignore any restrictions — and even try to stop federal officials from enforcing gun policy in their jurisdictions.
"A lot of sheriffs are now standing up and saying, 'Follow the Constitution,'" said Josephine County Sheriff Gil Gilbertson, whose territory covers the timbered mountains of southwestern Oregon.
But their actual powers to defy federal law are limited. And much of the impassioned rhetoric amounts to political posturing until — and if — Congress acts.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Democrat, said Wednesday it's unlikely an assault weapons ban would actually pass the House of Representatives. Absent action by Congress, all that remains are 23 executive orders Obama announced that apply only to the federal government, not local or state law enforcement.
Gun advocates have seen Obama as an enemy despite his expression of support for the interpretation of the Second Amendment as a personal right to have guns. So his call for new measures — including background checks for all gun buyers and Senate confirmation of a director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives — triggered new vows of defiance.
In Mississippi, Gov. Phil Bryant, a Republican, urged the Legislature to make it illegal to enforce any executive order by the president that violates the Constitution.
"If someone kicks open my door and they're entering my home, I'd like as many bullets as I could to protect my children, and if I only have three, then the ability for me to protect my family is greatly diminished," Bryant said. "And what we're doing now is saying, 'We're standing against the federal government taking away our civil liberties.'"
Tennessee Republican state Rep. Joe Carr wants to make it a state crime for federal agents to enforce any ban on firearms or ammunition. Carr instead called for more armed guards at schools.
"We're tired of political antics, cheap props of using children as bait to gin up emotional attachment for an issue that quite honestly doesn't solve the problem," Carr said.
Legislative proposals to pre-empt new federal gun restrictions also have arisen in Wyoming, Utah and Alaska.
A Wyoming bill specifies that any federal limitation on guns would be unenforceable. It also would make it a state felony for federal agents to try to enforce restrictions.
"I think there are a lot of people who would want to take all of our guns if they could," said co-sponsor Rep. Kendell Kroeker, a Republican. "And they're only restrained by the opposition of the people, and other lawmakers who are concerned about our rights."
Republican state Sen. Larry Hicks credited Wyoming's high rate of gun ownership for a low rate of gun violence.
"Our kids grow up around firearms, and they also grow up hunting, and they know what the consequences are of taking a life," Hicks said. "We're not insulated from the real world in Wyoming."
In Utah, some Republicans are preparing legislation to exempt the state from federal gun laws — and fine any federal agents who try to seize guns. A bill in the Alaska House would make it a misdemeanor for a federal agent to enforce new restrictions on gun ownership.
While such proposals are eye-catching, they likely could never be implemented.
"The legislature can pass anything it wants," said Sam Kamin, a constitutional law professor at the University of Denver. "The Supremacy Clause of the Constitution makes that clearly unconstitutional. Where there's a conflict between state and federal law, the federal government is supreme."
Kamin and other legal experts said such disdain of Obama's proposals is reminiscent of former Confederate states' refusal to comply with federal law extending equal rights for blacks after the Civil War.
The National Sheriff's Association has supported administration efforts to combat gun violence after the Sandy Hook Elementary shootings. President Larry Amerson, sheriff of Calhoun, Ala., said he understands the frustrations of people in rural areas with the federal government. But he feels his oath of office binds him to uphold all laws.
"Any sheriff who knows his duty knows we don't enforce federal law, per se," said Amerson, a longtime firearms instructor and hunter.
Some rural sheriffs view the federal government as an adversary, with gun ownership at the core of that belief.
In Minnesota, Pine County Sheriff Robin Cole sent an open letter to residents saying he did not believe the federal government had the right to tell the states how to regulate firearms. He said he would refuse to enforce any federal mandate he felt violated constitutional rights.
The Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association, based in Fredericksburg, Texas, encourages that point of view. Founder Richard Mack, a former sheriff of Apache County, Ariz., speaks regularly at gatherings of Tea Party groups and gun rights organizations.
"I will tell Mr. Obama and everybody else who wants to impose gun control in America, that whether you like it or not, it is against the law," said Mack. "Now we have good sheriffs who are standing up and defending the law against our own president."

Priscilla, the Pink Pig, officially opens to the public on Saturday, Oct. 30, beneath a 170-foot, 1950s themed Pink Pig Tent at Lenox Square Mall. It will be open through Jan. 2, 2011. Each ride costs $3, and repeat rides are discounted (two rides for $5.50 orthree rides for $7.50). A portion of the proceeds from each ride will benefit Children's Healthcare of Atlanta.
Since its debut in 1953 as a children's ride at the downtown Rich's store, five generations of Atlantans have ridden the Pink Pig into the holiday season. Priscilla, the original Pink Pig, was a monorail ride along the ceiling of Rich's, giving children the chance to "fly over" the toy department. Later, Percival was added, and years later, the monorail was relocated to the roof of the department store and the "monorail twins" took passengers on rooftop rides.
In 2003, Priscilla was introduced to a new generation of Atlantans at the Lenox Square Mall upper-level parking deck near Macy's.

Hi everybody! It's been an awesome week for Tilly's out here on the Vans Warped Tour, without a doubt. Even through sickness, extreme winds and thunderstorms, we've seen the best crowds and even better shows over these past few days.
The tour has made stops in two of the home bases of two of the bands we regularly have signing at our tent: Every Time I Die and A Loss For Words. We had both of them over at the Tilly's tent in their respective hometowns, and the fans went wild for them. It was so great to see such positive reactions, not only to Tilly's but to the awesome bands we work with. If there's a band on the Tilly's stage or signing at our tent that you haven't heard of yet, make sure you check them out before everyone else!
Scranton showed us a crazy day with thunderstorms through the whole day… even worse than what we experienced in Toronto. The show was shut down for a couple of hours, but when it was open, the Tilly's tent was the place to be. So many kids came out to see us, and we couldn't have asked for a better turnout. But surprisingly the turnout was even better a couple days later in New Jersey!!! Thank you so much to all of you South Jersey and Philly fans who slammed the tent in Camden all day on Friday. Our crew from the local Tilly's stores there killed it and the day turned out perfectly. We also had our first signing with We Are The In Crowd that day, and we can't wait to have them back again!
Today we're in Uniondale, NY – outside of New York City. Every Time I Die stopped by for a signing again, as well as Lostprophets, who are some of the most awesome guys we've met so far. Tomorrow we'll be in Connecticut and then we've only got two weeks left on the tour! It's been a crazy ride so far, but we can't wait to see what's next!

AbstractClimate is an important input to many human activities. Climate affects heating and cooling requirements, determines clothing and nutritional needs and limits recreational activities. As such it is to be expected that individuals will have a preference for particular types of climate. These preferences have indeed been observed using a variety of approaches including regional analyses of wage rates and land prices, the propensity to migrate, and analyses based on household consumption patterns. Mindful of existing research this paper analyses a panel of 67 countries attempting to explain differences in self-reported levels of happiness by reference to amongst other things temperature and precipitation. Various indices are used for each of these variables including means, extremes and number of months with a particular climate like the number of hot and cold months. Using a panel-corrected least squares approach the paper demonstrates that, even when controlling for a range of other factors, climate variables have a particularly powerful effect on self reported levels of happiness. Furthermore there is a correspondence between the findings that emerge from this analysis and earlier studies with respect to what constitutes a preferred climate. The relationship between climate and self reported happiness is of particular interest because of the much discussed threat of anthropogenically induced climate change. Differential patterns of warming along with a changed distribution of rainfall promises to alter dramatically the distribution of happiness between nations with some countries moving towards a preferred climate and others moving further away. We find that higher mean temperatures in the coldest month increase happiness, whereas higher mean temperatures in the hottest month decrease happiness. Precipitation does not significantly affect happiness. In particular high latitude countries included in our dataset might benefit from temperature changes. Countries alread

Exceeded expectations!
live.laugh.love Save the Date Magnets Magnet street offers so many options when it came to our selecting of save the date magnets. They have a variety of sizes and layouts. They also include envelopes with your purchase. Our magnets came out exactly as they appeared on the preview before we ordered and we love them. The quality is excellent and they even included sample invitations with our orders. We will be using them to order invitations. Very impressed with this company!
Chic Lines Save the Date Magnets We are very pleased with our purchase of this design from MagnetStreet. We were able to use our custom colors and they turned out great! The only thing I wish we had done is spend a little bit extra money for it to have a matte finish as opposed to a glossy finish. But that was our cost-cutting choice! Pleased with MagnetStreet's customer service, quality, and value!
Great personalization and Customer Support
See Through Love Save the Date Magnets This product was great! Even after you find the overall design that you like, you can customize it a ton and change up the whole design and look (which is what we did!). We even messed up our website address in the first version and emailed customer service within 24 hours and were able to get that updated, see the proof, and approve before they printed. Everything has gone great. My only feedback would be for the envelope and magnet sets should have some extra envelopes as people make mistakes as they write :)
See Through Love Save the Date Magnets My save the date is perfect nad good price. i love all design and it is good website
Beautiful and Great Quality
See Through Love Save the Date Magnets This magnet we ordered for our Save the Date was absolutely perfect! The personalization on MagnetStreet was great and they are very easy to work with. You have plenty of opportunities to review your product and make changes before you place your final order. I also like that if you order a sample, that amount is put towards your big order. Very customer oriented. We will be ordering our Wedding Invitations from MagnetStreet as well. Very well priced and always have sales running!

KSP To Partner With DEA For Third National 'Take Back' Initiative
Got Drugs? Turn In Your Unused Or Expired Medication For Safe Disposal During the National 'Take Back' Initiative
Date of News Release: 10/24/2011
(Richmond, KY)-Kentucky State Police (KSP) will partner with the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) on October 29, 2011 in a collaborative effort to remove potentially dangerous controlled substances from home medicine cabinets. Collections will take place at the Richmond Post, 699 Eastern By-Pass, from 10:00 a.m. through 2:00 p.m.
KSP has participated in the two previous 'Take Back' days collecting nearly 700 pounds of prescription medication. During the last two initiatives, the DEA Office of Diversion Control in Detroit reports that Kentucky collected 7,778 pounds of prescription medications statewide from all collection sites.
Nationally, the two previous 'Take Back' initiatives have accounted for 309 tons of unused/unwanted prescription medications being collected.
KSP Commissioner Rodney Brewer encouraged citizens to take advantage of this opportunity to rid their home of expired or unwanted prescription medications.
"Prescription Drug abuse is the Nation's fastest-growing drug problem and Kentucky has been identified as a hot spot for this type of activity," says Brewer. "Last year, 70 percent of controlled substances that were brought into the 'Take Back' program were identified as narcotic/pain killers."
"The unique aspect of this initiative is that it is free and anonymous. No requests for identification will be made to anyone bringing medications in to KSP Posts," adds Brewer.
Capt. David Jude, spokesperson for KSP, advised that the program is designed to be easy for citizens and offered the following tips for those interested in participating:
- Participants may dispose of medication in its original container or by removing the medication from its container and disposing of it directly into the disposal box.
- All solid dosage pharmaceutical product and liquids in consumer containers may be accepted. Liquid products, such as cough syrup, should remain sealed in their original container. The depositor should ensure that the cap is tightly sealed to prevent leakage.
- Intra-venous solutions, injectibles, and syringes will not be accepted due to potential hazard posed by blood-borne pathogens.
- Illicit substances such as marijuana or methamphetamine are not a part of this initiative and should not be placed in collection containers.
"This year's DEA, National 'Take Back' Event will also coincide with DEA's Red Ribbon Week, which is a week-long initiative to raise awareness of drug use and the problems related to drugs facing our country," says Jude.
"This effort symbolizes KSP's commitment to halting the disturbing rise in addiction caused by the misuse and abuse of unwanted prescription drugs and serves as another means of keeping drugs out of the hands of our young people," adds Jude.
Jude advised that all KSP Post locations and contact numbers can be found on the agency website at www.kentuckystatepolice.org/post.htm or by calling 502-782-1780.

Idle Hands: Bendis Talks Guardians of the Galaxy in Marvel Now
The things that have happened on Earth in the past few events have had a butterfly effect through the galaxy. The abuse of time travel, the use of the Infinity Gems…these things have costs. The Guardians are the first line of defense for Earth. If you're looking at Earth in the Marvel Universe from a distant, it looks like an insane asylum! It's a place where the Phoenix Force doesn't destroy the world, where Galactus doesn't feed. It's the scariest place anywhere to the rest of the galaxy! Wait until Earth joins the cosmic community… A lot of big time cosmic players are on stage right from the beginning.
Comic Review: Todd, The Ugliest Kid On Earth #1 | Geeks of Doom
Kristensen writes Todd, The Ugliest Kid On Earth like Siegfried and/or Roy, pushing and poking wild jungle cats until they finally snap and leave him in a mass of torn and bloody sequins. The wild cats in this confusing metaphor are you and I, the reader. To Kristensen, no calf is too golden. Drunken abusive parents, little kids getting murdered, blood, and guts are all in a day's work for this author and that might not sit so well with some folks. Sure, we can handle all types of murder and mayhem in drama books, but things get different when it's in a comedy book. Put a child-killing axe murder next to a dick joke and some people may think you're making light of some pretty heavy stuff. This of course is why I must restate that this book might not be for everyone.
If you can stomach all the wicked things going on between the pages of Todd, The Ugliest Kid On Earth, you'll probably love this book. Prolific artist M.K Perker stuns in this book with his unique distorted character proportions and brilliant line work.
Todd, The Ugliest Kid On Earth is a brutal book both in terms of violence and content. As things stand, I doubt that Kristensen won't ramp things down as this story progresses. It's tough to say if this book will be universally loved. The only thing that can be said without a shadow of a doubt is that Kristensen and Perker are two endlessly talented individuals and Todd, The Ugliest Kid On Earth is the culmination of their shared vision. Give it a shot. You might be surprised.

Jason Aaron & Simone Bianchi on 'Thanos Rising' | CraveOnline
"The story of Thanos' rise to power would make Shakespeare shudder," said Axel Alonso, Editor in Chief of Marvel. "The epic saga of a young boy, born in blood on a planet far, far away, who grows to become one of the most powerful and terrifying forces in the Marvel Universe, Thanos Rising takes a cold, hard look at the eternal question: Are some people just born evil?'
"This is without a doubt one of the creepiest stories I've ever gotten to write for Marvel. It's the origin of an outer space serial killer, the story of the universe's weirdest romance and a grand cosmic tragedy, all wrapped up in one," said Aaron. "This is me taking five issues to really dig into the head of a space-faring world conqueror, mass murderer and hopeless romantic. I love writing stories with villains as the main character, and this book is about Thanos all the way."
Aaron has had a very spotty record, but he's currently firing on all cylinders with Thor: God of Thunder, so it's possible that massive sweeping otherworldly epics are his proper milieu.
