You only do what you do because you have love to give.
I love to take too.
I printed something for the first time using a 3D printer.
Psi Corps!
The Corps is Mother, the Corps is Father...
Out with the family this morning, picking some pumpkins.
It was a beautiful 42° when we were picking, I was napping a few minutes before this picture was taken.
This time of year has some great weather if you can tolerate the rapidly dropping morning temperatures. The Halloween season is great for doing things outdoors with friends and loved ones.
So my bike hit 17,000 miles today and I just happened to notice a certain number popped up...
Well, there goes your "safe driving discount" with Progressive.
Picture is a screen grab from my helmet-mounted video camera.
I need to open this thread more.
Shameless sighting!!
Ready for my closeup..
Excuse me...why does God need a bald Italian guy?
Heck yeah..
I went to the annual Drag-artist competition Nattens Dronning, Queen of the Night, held right here in town last Saturday...
Vinner: Foxxy Femme (New York)Photo: Frank Holm.
(She has a number of videos on YouTube -also the performances from this competition.)
It's kinda of a big deal around here; originally supposed to be a one-time fundraiser for the local "AIDS-info", but apparantly the girls had found a niche and the 2015 Nattens Dronning was the 22'nd.
Brilliant show, fantastic performances (and costumes and wigs of course), a great audience, excellent play between hostesses and judges and audience, a fabulous time was had by all... And then there was the afterparty, but that's quite a different story.
More pictures from the event: http://out-and-about.dk/visnyhed.asp?id=6401#.VhQKQ1JdarX

Such cuties! I just want to pinch Aaron's cheeks!
From my trip to NYC a few weeks ago:
Me and the wonderful Yeoman Randi!
My favorite deli
From the former WTC site. I can't remember which tower this is, but they both have this where the towers used to be.
Tried to get tickets to go up in the torch but they were sold out.
This is from the first game at Yankee Stadium after Yogi Berra's death. Very nice ceremony before the game.

Cool pics! Thanks for sharing them. It's always great seeing a photo of Yeoman Randi in the threads.
Glad to see she still around. I wondered what happened to her.

According to a forecast by the U.S. Conference of Mayors, Ohio's major cities will experience heavy job losses this year:
- Cleveland, with a current workforce of 1.06 million jobs, will lose 22,200 jobs.
- Cincinnati (1.04 million workforce) will lose 20,500 jobs.
- Columbus (948,000 workforce) will lose 7,700 jobs.
Small comfort: It's worse in New York City, which will probably lose 181,000 jobs, many of them in the financial services industry, which some blame for the current economic mess.
With the ranks of out-of-work Ohioans rising to almost unprecedented levels, the state is having trouble keeping up with demand for unemployment services. Unemployed Ohioans use a web-enabled computer system for filing and updating unemployment claims. Traffic was so high recently that the servers that power the system temporarily crashed.
New York and North Carolina experienced similar service outages.

VIEW LARGER !!! So you can READ the grave-markers !
A pen and ink sketch of a few of the tombstones in Boot Hill cemetery. This historic 'old west' town bills itself as "The Town Too Tough to Die". The sky was done with Illustrator Markers.
The whole place gives some impression of what life in the wild west was like. It's a fun outing for locals and tourists alike. This sketch was an experiment to compose a work showing some of the most interesting tombstones and the essence of the place.
The sketch was done in my Canson Sketch book with Universal Recycled acid free paper.
AND the thought occurs… that in death Oneness is realized.

Note: I'm testing the waters here featuring a pre-owned title, is this something you'd like to see more often or would you rather I mainly featured deals based on new copies of games and digital downloads? Leave a comment below!
Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit is the first Need for Speed game which is developed by Criterion, the award-winning studio behind the Burnout series. Right now you can grab this game on Xbox 360 for £4.79 which is 75% off of the RRP! This is for a pre-owned copy of the game, but personally I'm a fan of pre-owned games so this deal would be right up my street!
Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit was released in 2010 (really, it doesn't seem that long ago) and features several game modes you've come to expect from the Need for Speed series. The game itself achieved critical acclaim for it's graphics, visuals, crashes, sound and soundtrack. I'm yet to add this to my collection so I should be snapping this up when I have a spare few bob.
Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit is available preowned for Xbox 360m and PlayStation 3 for £4.97 at Green Man Gaming.

That's a pretty vague question. Did you guys just meet? How long have you been together? Is it serious or casual dating? Do you love him? Does he love you? Are either of you religious? All of these play an important factor in the game of marriage. You may be ready, but he might not. Things fluctuate in a relationship and communication is key. Talk to him about the possibility of marriage someday and look at his body language and how he responds. If he seems eager and attentive, there's a good chance he'll pop the question in the future. If he seems hesitant and unsure, then I'd consider you look deeper into your relationship for the root of the problem. Hope this helped.

Bishop blames violence on 'total failure' of state to protect minorities
|Protesters took to the streets in cities across
Pakistan following the church bombings.
World Watch Monitor
Anguish and anger has erupted across Pakistan since Sunday after two suicide bombers killed dozens of people as they were leaving church services.
The bomb attacks took place at 12:15 p.m. on Sept. 22 as about 600 people were leaving worship services at All Saints Anglican Church in Peshawar, the capital of the war-ravaged Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province in northwestern Pakistan, along the Pakistan-Afghan border.
At least 89 people, including children, were killed. One family lost six members. About 150 others were injured, about a dozen critically. The powerful explosions left bodies and blood strewn across the church grounds.
As expressions of sympathy poured in, protests broke out across the country, fuelled by grief and by accusations that the government does too little to protect religious minorities in the Muslim-majority country. One person died in the protests.
Protests continued today in Peshawar, Karachi, Islamabad, Gujrat, Sialkot, Narowal, Kasur, Toba Tek Singh, Faisalabad, Okara, Veharhi, Sahiwal, Khanewal, Multan and Quetta. In Peshawar, five further funerals have taken place, of those who had been in intensive care.

Mr. Hupfer,
In my experience, hiking is primarily trudging through the wilderness trails exploring a large area and enjoying the beautiful scenery.
Once you've worn yourself out by walking many miles, you stop for the day to find a suitable place to set up your tent, start a fire, and prepare for dinner. The next morning your pack up and head out on the trails again.
On the other hand, if you're primary focus is on camping, you don't do a lot of marching through the trails. You pretty much find one central location to set up camp and stay there anywhere from one night to several days.
I hope that has helped.

Janet Jackson paid tribute to Aaliyah on the 14th anniversary of her death on Tuesday (25.08.15).
The 49-year-old singer declared her love for her late friend, who died in a plane crash in the Bahamas at age 22 in 2001, as she took to Twitter to remember her.
The 'Rhythm Nation' hitmaker shared a photograph of a handwritten note that reads: "What I shared with u [is] ever sacred, everlasting, [and] it's pure and it will endure. I love u Aaliyah. #RIP (sic)"
Janet captioned the image: "I know u r there shining down on me (sic)."
The singer, who was one of Aaliyah's idols, previously honoured the 'Try Again' hitmaker at the MTV Video Music Awards shortly after her she was killed along with eight other people when their charter plane went down.
She also previously admitted to Vibe magazine she was also a huge fan of the star before her passing, saying: "I think she's very talented. I love her music, I love what she creates on her album. I love listening to her voice. I think it's beautiful. She's beautiful."
A number of other stars also took the opportunity to remember Aaliyah, including Missy Elliott and Gladys Knight, who tweeted: "Singing: 'Your love is a one in a million...' as we honor & remember my niece, #Aaliyah Aunty loves you baby girl"

White collar worker
Showing off my purchase made with my Go Chic or Go Home chic reward: my gorgeous Asos pearl collar! It's taken me a little while to choose what to get, and it's my first ever blogger reward... I'm so chuffed. I've been wanting an embellished collar for a while and finally decided on this beauty - as it's white it should show up beautifully against most coloured tops and sweaters I have. I love how it adds a touch of drama to a plain top. (Thank you, GCOGH!)
This was a bit of a thrown-together-quickly outfit, and sometimes I think they can often be the best outfits, a little like great impulse buys. If I have too long to get dressed (doesn't happen very often, mind) I often end up trying on half my wardrobe and leaving it in a pile on the bed. I tied the side of the blue tank in a knot because the hem seemed a bit out of shape; I also felt like doing something a little unexpected so decided to knot it. I think I like it on the side - who says you have to have it at the front?

I'm also entering my second Visible Monday on Patti's Not Dead Yet Style blog - I think this pearl collar counts as something that makes me visible, what do you think...? It's a bit of a show-off piece, and that's why I love it :)

The Hell They Called High Wood : The Somme 1916 Paperback
by Norman Terry
The Somme was surely one of the bloodiest rendezvous for battle of all time.
High Wood, dominating the Bazentin Ridge, was the fiercely contested focal point of the battle.
The Germans showed great determination and sacrifice defending the feature and it was not until September that it finally fell to the attackers.
Ironically the successful divisional commander was rewarded with dismissal for wanton waste of men".
This exceptional book not only paints a graphic and gruesome picture of the fighting but sheds light on the problems of high command."

text: Cool stuff... 3Com launches Power over Ethernet family POE eliminates need for power connections on each device By Gillian Law March 12, 2003 HANOVER, GERMANY -- 3Com launched a range of Power over Ethernet (PoE) products at the CeBIT trade show here Wednesday. The company introduced a PoE-enabled switch, called the SuperStack 3 Switch 4400 PWR, plus enhanced versions of its NBX IP telephones and WLAN (wireless LAN) access points. Power over Ethernet removes the need for separate A/C power connections for each IP phone, network device and wireless access point. 3Com's new devices conform to the IEEE P802.af draft standard that is due to be ratified by June. Each 3Com device is plugged into a 3Com network jack connected to the switch, Dave Zwicher, 3Com's vice president of products and segment marketing said Wednesday. Each network jack can take up to four devices. Not only do devices no longer need their own power connection, but one UPS (uninterruptible power supply) can be used across the system, he said. PoE has been growing in popularity, GöranFriedl, a Nortel Networks network consultant said Wednesday. Nortel launched a PoE switch in October 2002, the BayStack 460 PWR, and one of these is running all of the IP phones on Nortel's stand at CeBIT, Friedl said. "You can stack up to eight of these, with 24 phones or devices per switch. The packets coming from the IP phones are marked for highest priority." Nortel is using its standard phones, he said, with a splitter fitted to power them from the IP line. PoE is becoming popular, Friedl said, with most network manufacturers looking at it over recent months. Symbol Technologies is running the CeBIT WLAN using PoE in one of the company's first major installations of the technology, said Andreas Fauerbach, a Symbol system consultant analyst. About 200 basic access ports are spread around the site, connected to 16 Linux-based wireless switches. Most of the processing power has been removed from the access ports and is now handled by the switches, Fauerbach said. Separate power hubs provide power to both the switched and access ports, he said. 3Com's 4400 PWR switch will be available worldwide in April and will cost $2,495. The PoE-enabled IP telephones and WLAN access points will be available in April or May and prices will be similar to current products, Zwicher said.

Oi Kouroupettoi The Movie
I have decided to add an extra feature to every post I make. The feature is "Current mood" and until I have time to implement it on a plug-in for nucleus:cms and blog:cms I will add it manually. 😛
Just a note, the plug-in will be made available for everyone that wishes to use it.
Here is an example, I will not bother in adding it to past entries, but it will exist in all future ones.
Just a note that the "Current mood" thing is there to represent my current mood at the time of the post and has nothing to do with the context of the post. Thanks 😛

A lawsuit has been filed against Russian music download site AllofMP3.com by the British recording industry. The High Court said it will hear the suit even though AllofMP3.com is based in Russia, the BPI (British Phonographic Industry) said yesterday.
BPI hopes to prove that the website is illegal. The group says AllofMP3 is selling music to UK customers without the permission of copyright owners. The fact that the court accepted the case means it is convinced that the case is at least arguable, said Larry Cohen, a partner with the law firm McDermott, Will and Emery.
AllofMP3.com sells music downloads at prices that are far below industry standards. The site's terms of use section says it is authorised to sell the music through licensing agreements with the Russian Multimedia and Internet Society and the Rightholders Federation for Collective Copyright Management of Works Used Interactively.
In statements made to the UK House of Commons Select Committee for Culture, Media and Sport in early June, the BPI said neither artists nor record companies are receiving payment from AllofMP3 for the sale of their recordings.
At the time, BPI also said it would sue AllofMP3 in the UK courts but it wouldn't take action against users of the website.
The suit reflects the borderless nature of the internet and the difficulties that individual governments have in enforcing local laws against companies that conduct business online. Even if the UK court rules against AllofMP3, it will have difficulty forcing the site to pay damages or shut down because it is based in Russia, beyond the jurisdiction of a UK court, Cohen said.
The BPI and similar groups across Europe and the world may hope that their combined legal action might encourage Russian authorities to take action against the site. "Russia wants to become part of the WTO [World Trade Organization]. If Russia allows this [site to continue operating], it becomes difficult for the West to admit them," Cohen noted.
The UK indeed isn't alone in its legal activity against AllofMP3.com. Several other lawsuits against the site are under way, according to the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry, a group that fights music piracy on behalf of the music industry worldwide. A German court has issued a preliminary injunction against the site and authorities in Italy have launched a criminal investigation into the local portal, AllofMP3.it. Two other criminal proceedings in Russia are also under way.
BPI and IFPI (the International Federation of Phonogram and Videogram Producers) are among record industry groups around the world that have launched attacks against illegal music sharing in an effort to protect revenues for record companies and artists.

Eltax Monitor 3
Front / Stereo - Passive, Single Passive Component - Wired - 90 Watt
1 reviews from the community
Review of "Eltax Monitor 3"
I'm Jenny. 40+ professional gal educated to postgrad level. For 21 yrs I was an engineer in broadcasting & IT but I now work in the theatre. I like Apple macs, they work! I enjoy writing novels, opera, am-dram, gardening walking & cycling.
"Ideal Bedroom Speakers"
I brought these Eltax speakers to brighten up one of many bedroom DAB mini hi-fi units that we have in our home. In the main these mini systems tend to come with woefully inadequate speakers and so can be immensely improved by the simple act of upgrading the speakers to something with a semblance of frequency response.I didn't want to pay a lot for a set of speakers which would, in the main, only be heard by guests but I did want to get something halfway decent.
A bit of research revealed these units along with several other alternatives were available at around £50 from Richer Sounds.I set off to listen to these Eltax units alongside the Kef Cresta 10, and the Gale 3010.
Being a closet anorak and ex BBC engineer - I know that KEF made the driver units for many of the famous BBC designed reference loudspeakers like the LS3/5A and the LS5/8 etc For this reason I have always had a soft spot for KEF and so I was confidently expecting them to emerge as clear winners. However fate had other ideas.On my way to Richer I stopped off at a local secondhand hifi shop which is run by a friend of mine. To my amazement he had all three speakers in stock so I decided to abort my trip to Richer and instead with John's help set up a listening test in his emporium.
For a contrast we included a set of Gale 4040 floorstanders in the test.All of the speakers sounded quite pleasent. As expected the floor standers revealed much greater depth and power in their bass performance than most of the bookshelf units.
However the thing about bedrooms is that a.) you haven't got a lot of room to play with and b.) tub thumping bass isn't generally what is wanted unless you are either a teenager or seriously into heavy metal!The Eltax speakers were a real suprise. They have a rather unconventional design with a downward firing bass reflex port. They also come equiped with natty little silver legs to keep the speakers about an inch off whatever surface you place them on so that the port can do it's work.
They are also bi-wireable which isquite unusual in a speaker in this price range. They will handle up to 90w RMS which, in a bedroom, should be quite enough to annoy your neighbours (unless of course you, like us, live in a house with land all round it and neighbours that are several hundred yards away!)I was expecting nice well defined mid range and top. What I wasn't expecting from so small a unit was a bass line which all but matched the floorstanders. The downward port certainly works - although you have to be extra careful about where you place these wee beasties becuase if you put them on anything too resonant then the result will be unfeasibly loud and boomy bass.
In the end I found by trial and error that standing them on top of the wardrobe but insulated from the cuboard by a thick layer of cardboard to dampen any transmission from the feet seemed to work OK, but I think you will probably have to experiment a bit to find out what works for you.Overall I like these speakers a lot... Particularly when John sold them to me for just £25 which is a fairly typical secondhand price.
The grey cloth grills can be removed if you want but I quite like them on. I also like the nicely bevelled edges to the cabinets. The boxes seem pretty solid and are quite heavy which suggests a well built speaker. What I don't like is the awful artificial plastic wood veneer. I wish that speaker manufacturers would either give me real wood and put £10 on the price or else just paint the cabs in a range of colours.Ultimately as I have stated in other reviews - you must hear them for yourself because you ears ans mine, your amp and mine and your music and mine will not be the same. However I would certainly reccommend you to include these in you listening tests because overall I think they are winners.

morgjgriff published 12/05/2006I really do enjoy reading your reviews! I'm looking for a set of speakers for my parents Sony Micro System. The ones provided give no bass response out at all, even with the bass set to max, and treble set at min. If these come in a light-beech colour, they'll be perfect and I shall go and check them out. Great review. I shall go and check out some of your other ones now :-) J
LegendaryMrDude published 12/05/2006I heard these in use in a clothes shop earlier this week - at least they were Eltax and had a down-firing bass port so I presume they are the same. They certainly did a good enough job there, bt were mounted on wall brackets with no obstructions underneath. As you suggest, positioning might otherwise be tricky. Great review. Sam.
Silverback published 12/05/2006Good to read such a concise and knowledgeable review - set me thinking about the quality of the speakers on my spare room hi-fi. Paul

At this moment a good old buddy of mine, a big Czech called Dobri Den appears, resplendent in evening wear. I do the introductions. The Princess seems impressed by his size.
"It's nice to meet one of Dr. Bryggs's friends," she says, as though there can't be many of them. Dobri bows over her hand.
"The pleasure is all mine, Princess. As a matter of fact, Jason has many friends. But few as charming as those present tonight." I detect a glimmer of interest in the Princess's eye. Buddy-Jo is looking less fierce. Dobri, like the cavalry, has turned up at the right moment.
"But you have no refreshment, Princess. Permit me to fetch you something," he says. He goes off to do this.
"He is not an Englishman," says the Princess.
"No," I say. "He's from the Czech Republic."
"Ah," she says. Dobri returns with her drink.
"So you are from the Czech Republic? A small country like mine."
"Exactly so," he replies, "Although there is a particular difference. We do not have Princesses. Alas."
I don't know many people who can get away with this kind of stuff, but Dobri certainly can. And it seems to be having the right effect on the Princess who, still exuding a lot of sex appeal, is now smiling happily as well.
"Have you seen the excellent display of Red-Ware here, Princess?" he says. "I should be happy to show it to you."
"What is Red-Ware?" she asks, looking at him as though he were the only person in the world from whom she would like to hear about this fascinating topic.
"We shall discover it together," he replies.
"Please excuse us for a while," he says to Buddy-Jo.
"See you in the gift shop in due course?" he says to me. And off they go.
"And where did you come across her, Jason?" asks Buddy-Jo.
"She's a client," I reply brightly, "Just a client."
"Good," says Buddy-Jo, taking my arm again.

Glen LaRoy RIGGS
11/14/1936 5/2/2010
Glen LaRoy Riggs, 73Submitted by Gayle M. Garrett
Glen LaRoy Riggs was born on November 14, 1936, in Hays, Kansas to Warren and Inez (Powers) Riggs. He passed away at his home in WaKeeney, Kansas on Sunday, May 2, 2010 at the age of 73.
He graduated from Trego Community High School with the class of 1954.
On June 2, 1954, Glen married Carolyn Flagler. Glen and Carolyn celebrated fifty years of marriage in 2004.
Glen was a member of Bethlehem Lutheran Church.
In addition to fishing, GlenŐs early interests included music. He was a talented vocalist, singing bass for the boyŐs quartet at Trego Community High School. He later sang solos for many local weddings and funerals. Glen served as a school board member for the South Downer country school and he was the Scoutmaster of the local Boy Scouts for a decade. He donated countless hours to the Kansas State Wildlife & Parks, and he served as President of the Cedar Bluff Lake Association. His love for nature and wildlife was reflected in his farming practices. As a true steward of the earth, he was recognized with an award for conservation practices and habitat development.
After years as a farmer and rancher, Glen turned his hobby of creating effective fishing lures into a lucrative business that he owned and operated until 2008. But he was never too busy to introduce a youngster Đ or a late-blooming adult Đ to the art of fishing. In addition to angling at the local lakes, Glen enjoyed trips with Carolyn, his family, and many friends to destinations such as Lake Texoma, Homer Alaska, Northern Colorado, and Baja Mexico. Generous in nature, he was a loving husband, dedicated father, gentle grandfather, and friend to many. Glen was an easily recognized fixture in WaKeeney, smoking his pipe while driving his old, brown pick-up with Sweet the Vizsla at his side.
Survivors include his wife, Carolyn, of the home; two sons, Matt Riggs and wife Iris and Douglas Riggs of; a granddaughter, Erin Riggs; a brother, Keith Riggs; sister, Wanda Bellairs and husband Duane.
Inurnment will be in the WaKeeney City Cemetery.

My friend and I had a 3 night girly catch up in Barcelona and stayed at this Hostal. We were both delighted and enchanted with every aspect of the accommodation, decor, location and our hosts, Sergio and Abel were both easy on the eye, helpful and charming.
What more could two fussy ladies ask for!
The Hostal is packed to the brim with interesting antiques, pictures and nick nacks, the owners clearly don't consider 'where will I put it', they find a place no matter. Every time you walk past an area you notice something different.
Rooms are compact, but with plenty of storage, bathrooms clean, with nice touches, beds comfortable, and each room is individually fabulous. We looked in all the rooms and I'd be happy to sleep in any one of them again.
Centrally located, just a few minutes walk away from Las Ramblas, we found a great little coffee shop just round the corner and an equally good bar which served great food.
If you like quirky, out of the ordinary things, this is THE place for you. Totally unique.

BUNDUROCK is a unique music & conservation combined initiative that aims to assist, advice, support, help to promote and to create opportunities for especially independant artists, musicians and bands – and in the process also supporting our planet's survival through our combined support of the WEF and Conservation Education – both nationally and internationally.
BACKGROUND1.WHY: Due to the common struggle for survival of both planet earth (our environment & wildlife) and our planet's talented independent musicians, UMBULI Productions and the WEF (Wildlife Education Foundation) have decided to combine forces, skills, experience and networks in support of the survival of our planet and our planet's creative souls, who more than often, do not receive the respect, recognition, honest support and protection both deserve! 2. WHO we are: BUNDUROCK for LIFE is the combined initiative of UMBULI Productions and the WEF. Since 2007 the WEF has presented conservation educational workshops & lectures to more than 250 000 children, their educators, and numerous adults from all sectors of life – absolutely FREE of CHARGE – supported only by the WEF's own self-sustainable efforts and initiatives. WHY? purely because of the IMPORTANCE of CONSERVATION through EDUCATION – the ONLY long-term solution to our planet's conservation challenges.
Since 2010 the WEF has received the support of UMBULI Productions in assisting with the production of audiovisual material to enable the WEF to reach more people more effectively. Together we will are now also including our supporting musicians – by giving them a voice – they will be helping us to give our planet, nature a voice that will be heard!
WHAT we do and WHAT you get1. BUNDUROCK for LIFE is the perfect initiative to support both our planet's conservation and that of its creative, yet often neglected artists/musicians. Through the support of the independent musicians, the WEF will receive support and exposure for their Conservation Education work, while the supporting musicians will be given an excellent platform with media exposure to showcase their talents and skills. 2.UMBULI Productions is also extensively involved in the productions of music videos – a very important, but expensive tool needed by any serious musician/band to showcase and introduce their music to the world. Through the BUNDUROCK for LIFE initiatives and support of UMBULI Productions, we will make it possible for our supporting musicians/bands to receive in return for their support, also a HIGH quality video production of a live performance(s), absolutely FREE of CHARGE.

Last night she didn't want the Royal Canin. Wanted chicken and blueberries, but DH had to syringe feed her 2 ccs. Today at lunch she didn't want the renal food OR the chicken. Nicki managed to coax her into eating a little chicken. She said Holly is licking herself a lot. I don't know if this is a reaction to the Nextgard we gave her on Saturday because DH saw a flea on her or what.
So hard to know what to do!
She is drinking more water, too.
And today I started freaking out a little because we are leaving in a month and our neighbor still hasn't tried it out with Holly as far as fluids go. I realized we need a backup plan because we will be gone. So I called a few places and whoa, they are expensive. Most expensive is where we take her!
One day at a time.

With a great hush of orthodoxy
this sacrament on a cliff face
sits groaning beneath the weight
of its own romantic mythology.
Wide-eyed guests wander the grounds,
zealously guarding their human potential,
and staff struts, self-absorbed,
quixotically exploring their absence
from the world and blindly suffering
the accretions of an insular life.
Stuck for a spell to this loadstone
of the West Coast, this asylum of need,
some imagine deliverance, and some
even transcendence—the next step—
but while their proximity to paradise
promotes the notion of movement
it depletes the ability to move,
and most are left wanting more
of Esalen and its opaque perfections.

Natural Pain Relief
If you don't know it already, prescription and Over The Counter (OTC) pain killers don't just kill pain. They kill people too. (NSAIDS like Advil, Aspirin, etc. kill 15,000 Americans every year and hospitalize more than 100,000.) These products also create a lot of other problems, like liver disease, kidney problems, internal bleeding, stomach ulcers, etc.
Meanwhile, most of the rubs out there are glorified globs of menthol, which gives that cooling / burning sensation. They also tend to use too much, which increases your pain threshold with time and requires you to use more and more before they work. (And by the way ... most of them make you stink.)
So I'm a big fan of finding something without dangerous ingredients and something that actually provides the body with what it needs to heal, rather than just masking the pain. I also want to avoid problems of increasing pain thresholds.
Blue Emu is possibly the most progressive of the famous brands. Emu oil helps to carry ingredients deep into the skin for better results. It also helps to reduce inflammation. Meanwhile, Blue Emu includes aloe, glucosamine, and MSM, along with some other botanicals. There is NO menthol in the original, which many people want for its short-term benefits. Its advanced sport formula does away with the botanicals but adds menthol and a homeopathic remedy called arnica. (Some people don't believe in homeopathy. Those of us who grew up with arnica swear by it.)
The problem I have with Blue Emu is that it still includes things that the natural wellness community tries to avoid, like artificial colors and parabens.
Real Time Pain Relief
Luckily, there's another product that avoids those problem ingredients, includes the benefits of menthol, and includes a number of other fantastic ingredients. Real Time Pain Relief includes emu oil, aloe, glucosamine, and MSM. But it also includes chondroitin (which is usually used with glucosamine for the joints), menthol, capsicum (from chili peppers), witch hazel, and willow bark (the original, natural basis of aspirin).
It also includes arnica and other homeopathics for those interested in this aspect of it.
It also does NOT include colors, parabens, or sodium lauryl sulfate.
And unlike any of the competition I'm familiar with, it doesn't stink. In fact, it smells great, and when I need to put some on, I enjoy the smell.
The company also has some related products for the hands, the feet, and for more serious pain -- in fact, their Maxx product sponsors and is used by bull riders. Yeah. (That one has peppermint in it. I haven't tried it, but want to just for that.)
So now, without warning labels about liver and kidney damage, without other questionable ingredients, and without stink, you have a really powerful pain relief option. And if you choose to purchase through the button below, you'll receive a FREE $10 tube with your first order.
My link is an affiliate link that does not increase your cost of product. In fact, it gives you an extra bottle for FREE. But I receive a small referral fee if you make a purchase. As usual, I'm only recommending this because I use and like it for myself.

Rebuilding our economy and putting Sacramentans back to work is my number one priority. In light of State and local budget cuts, ensuring the federal government is responsive to our region's needs has never been more important to me. My commitment is reflected in the legislation my colleagues in the House of Representatives and I have considered and continue to work towards enacting a long-term economic strategy in order to move America in a New Direction. Democrats moved quickly but deliberatively at the beginning of the 111th Congress to pass a bold plan to jumpstart our economy and provide short-term help to those hurt most by the economic recession while providing long-term solutions that will build a new foundation for our economy for years to come.
But the set of economic conditions before us are greater than anything since the Great Depression, and the road to recovery is long. We need to create jobs and ensure that proper financial oversight is conducted so that the abuses that severely damaged our economy are never repeated. Our economic troubles did not come about overnight and we will not be able to fix them overnight. Each day I serve as your Representative, I am working to make progress to put Americans back to work and push our economy forward for American families, and making targeted investments in the areas that will grow our economy like clean energy, education, health care and infrastructure.
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, enacted in the first month of President Obama's term, has jumpstarted our economy. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates more than 1.6 million jobs have been created or saved. Another 2-3 million are estimated to come. It gave 95% of American workers a tax cut, and begin to rebuild America's road, rail, and water infrastructure, with unprecedented accountability.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, over 863,000 private sector jobs were created in 2010 alone, thanks in part to the Recovery Act. During the 8 years of the Bush Administration, 673,000 private sector jobs were lost. I am working every day to pass legislation that reverses the failed policies of the past and gets Americans back to work.
Council of Economic Advisors Chairman Austan Goolsbee lays out the private sector gains.
Additionally, as part of our commitment to fiscal responsibility, Democrats voted to reinstate Statutory PAYGO -- the same policy that brought us from deficit to surplus under the Clinton Administration but was tossed out when Republicans took control. By enacting PAYGO, we can ensure that each piece of new legislation we pass is fully-paid for in offsets by other cuts or increases in revenue.
Wall Street Reform
Democrats are also taking steps to protect American consumers and restore economic fairness by reforming our outdated regulatory system to fit the needs of a modern global marketplace. We have already passed legislation to help rein in risky executive compensation schemes, fight mortgage and corporate fraud and protect credit cardholders.
On June 30, 2010, I voted in favor of the Restoring American Financial Stability Act, which addresses a myriad of causes that led to the economic meltdown we saw in 2008. The comprehensive set of measures contained in this legislation will modernize America's financial regulations and hold Wall Street accountable for their actions.
The Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act Protects American Families and Small Businesses By:
* Creating a new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to protect families and small businesses by ensuring that bank loans, mortgages, and credit cards are fair, affordable, understandable, and transparent.
* Ending abusive predatory lending practices that occurred during the subprime lending frenzy.
* Shutting down "too big to fail" financial firms before risky and irresponsible behavior threatens to bring down the entire economy.
* Ending costly taxpayer bailouts with new procedures to unwind failing companies that pose the greatest risk -- paid for by the financial industry and not the taxpayers. It also eliminates the TARP program as of July 1.
* Creating tough new rules on the riskiest financial practices that gambled with your money and caused the financial crash, like the credit default swaps that devastated AIG, and common sense regulation of derivatives and other complex financial products. Includes a strong "Volcker rule" that generally restricts large financial firms with commercial banking operations from trading in speculative investments.
* Providing tough enforcement and oversight with more enforcement power and funding for the Securities and Exchange Commission, including requiring registration of hedge funds and private equity funds. Also ensures enhanced oversight and transparency for credit rating agencies, whose seal of approval gave way to excessively risky practices that led to the financial collapse.
* Reining in egregious executive compensation and retirement plans by allowing a "say on pay' for shareholders, requiring independent directors on compensation committees, and limiting bank executive risky pay practices that jeopardize banks' safety and soundness.
* Implementing new protections for grocers, retailers and other small businesses facing out-of-control "swipe fees" that banks and other credit and debit card issuers charge these businesses for debit or prepaid-card purchases. In turn, this will save American consumers billions.
* Auditing the Federal Reserve's emergency lending programs from the financial crisis and limits the Fed's emergency lending authority.
Additionally, included in the final bill as it passed through Congress was my amendment that will ensure the mortgage industry is accountable for helping responsible homeowners stay in their homes. Since the inception of the Making Home Affordable Program more than a year ago, the mortgage industry has only modified a small number of mortgages nationwide into permanent, affordable modifications. The mortgage industry has not lived up to its commitment to responsible homeowners. This amendment requires mortgage servicers or lenders participating in the Making Home Affordable Program to publicly report their progress in helping responsible homeowners stay in their homes. Put simply -- these reforms will hold Wall Street accountable and ensure that Sacramentans get the honest deal they deserve.
As we strive to rebuild and strengthen our economy, I am committed to continue fighting to keep Sacramento a wonderful place to work, live and play.
