I am a well regulated militia
Every American adult of sound mind should own a rifle. It should be an assault rifle. An assault rifle in your home is a reminder to the yourself and the outside world that you are a warrior. It is a reminder that you intend to defend your life, liberty and property with lethal force when necessary. It is an awesome responsibility that others want to take away from you as part of a larger strategy to change the culture from one of independence and individuality to one of dependence and fear. In a culture where only authorities, criminals and from time to time insane members of either the ruling power structure or the criminal classes have access to solid, reliable firearms, it is easier to obtain compliance (at least on the surface) and harder to start a revolution. Revolutions, though, are healthy, and the ruling classes should always live at least slightly in fear of them. After all, what keeps the ruling class in check?
The personal firearm is symbolic of the freedom of the individual human being to defend him or herself from aggressors. That does not mean those defined by the law as criminals. The right to carry firearms, and use them in self-defense, is one worth fighting for, whether the fight is waged with words or with bullets. I do not say these things lightly. Thomas Jefferson is oft quoted for saying, "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." The less often quoted following sentence is, "It is its natural manure." All references to Congress aside, this is serious business. The very idea that it is appropriate to punish the collective for the sins of the individual is rooted in the worst kind of group think, and always ends poorly. It's sort of the reverse of the famous "blanket party" scene from the movie Full Metal Jacket. In that movie, the group punishes Private Pyle, who later goes mad and kills his drill instructor, then himself. In our modern scenario, Private Pyle is (insert name of insane shooter here). Since (insert name of insane shooter here) is usually dead after the incident, we are allowing the drill instructor to punish everyone who survives for the sins of the dead Private Pyle, when what we should be doing is realizing that the drill instructor (insert Congress here) is largely to blame for many of the cultural woes that have spawned conditions ripe for and rife with troubled madmen whom we largely ignore and marginalize until they finally self-destruct. Since we have created large crops of reliable victims for them to mow down, they naturally go somewhere poorly defended and expel their rage. Instead of focusing on the underlying cause of mental illness we focus on access to weapons. Instead of worrying about how and why we've created large magic pockets of space where children and peaceful people congregate and no sane, rational adults are legally allowed to carry guns unless they are also career agents of the state, we agonize over how these psychos got their hands om guns, and worry that it is just too easy to get a gun in this country. Then we allow our weak, fear-mongering leaders to propose the solution that is best for our weak, fear-mongering leaders, which is to make it harder for everyone, not just insane people, to get access to guns.
When mentally ill people have access to weapons, the solution is not to make it harder for sane people, specifically legal adults of sound mind, to gain access to guns and bullets. Unfortunately, the same thinking that pervades attempts to regulate private citizen access to weaponry pervades the rigid, increasingly inflexible and incomprehensible minds that manage our military. You cannot carry a weapon without special authority on military installations. This is the mindset that allowed the Fort Hood shooter to do as much damage as he did. It is an improper mindset that is obsessed with regulating individual behavior while largely ignoring pre-existing and resultant mental health issues. The military does an excellent job of churning out career bureaucrats these days. It has a harder time producing real warriors. They are a tiny subclass of the whole. That is because there is an active, concerted effort by the federal government and those who hold power at the federal and state levels to kill the idea that individual warriors make a culture great. Sparta is not what our leaders want us to be. Many, if not most, would prefer citizen compliance to independent thinking and strident calls for liberty, rights and other tiresome frivolities.
In most cases, a soldier in or out of uniform is expressly prohibited from carrying a firearm in the United States, at least on or around federal installations, which is where soldiers spend most of their time. In most cases, lawful citizens are prohibited from defending themselves with firearms in or around government institutions and other sacred cows, such as schools. To me, this indicates that governments have more to fear from lawful citizens with a warrior mentality than they do from insane people and murderers. In point of fact, every insane person and murderer who illegally uses a firearm appears to be strengthening the thinking that no individuals should have access to firearms just in case another person goes insane or decides to commit murder. This is an effective strategy if you do not care about freedom. This is also an effective strategy if you do not care about individual rights or that old tattered thing called the Constitution.
The shooting rampages you hear the most about are the ones that are not met with defensive fire by individual warriors. In places where individual warriors can still go about their business, the insane and the murderous are put down quickly when they lash out randomly. In places where only a specialized, heavily regulated sub-culture of authorized responders are available to handle psychos with guns, it takes longer to stop killing sprees. There are two ways you can go with your response – take away more weapons from sane people, which either redirects the form of insanity when it manifests, or merely amplifies the slaughter when it happens. When you train people to be victims, don't be surprised when they become victims. The British think they have the answer, but you are more than twice as likely to be assaulted in London as you are in Houston. You are also much more likely to be raped. Maybe that has something to do with the warrior spirit, in which firearms play a vital role in the 21st century.
The other path a culture can chose is the one that abhors force and fraud and meets it head on with defensive force. For me, that is the clear choice. I celebrate the culture that reaffirms the individual right to defend one's life, liberty and property with an assault rifle. I would take it further. If you attack my life, liberty or property I will defend myself with a bazooka, a tank or a nuclear weapon, depending on the availability, propriety and feasibility of any of those choices. I reserve the right to take up arms using any weapons I chose, at the time of my choosing, and without advance warning if I deem it so necessary. This is my warrior spirit.
I'm not a praying man, but if I hear you praying for a good band of brothers and sisters willing to fight for every sane human's individual right to self-defense, I'll take a knee and join you with all sincerity. It is unfortunate that we, as a society, spend so much on pills to fix the broken minds among us while fostering a culture that breaks those minds to begin with. Where were the great minds in government when Seung-Hui Cho was acting out? There was plenty of warning before he picked up his guns, but no help from the people who want to take them away from everyone else after the fact. Who was helping Adam Lanza deal with whatever demons chattered in his head? Why do so many of these sick children act out in places that should be teaching them how to be responsible adults? And why do we act like their expressions of rage, pain and insanity are ultimately the fault of every gun owner who wasn't there on their day of infamy? We're not even willing to have an honest conversation about the problem.
The problem is the culture. The problem is the slow, purposeful attack on the spirit of self-defense and independence that once gave the U.S. a reputation for being a place where anyone could become someone, if they only had a little daring, a little drive and a little bit of the warrior spirit. All you warriors watch out. They pretend they just want common-sense gun laws when what they really want is to shackle your warrior spirit until it finally dies, alone and unnoticed. If they come for my guns, I'll try to move out of their path. If they keep coming, though, at some point, I'll have to fight. I hope enough of you will join me to make it count.
All the other rights you hold dear ultimately come out of your ability to defend your life, liberty and property from human predators. The most expedient tool for doing that is not a hunting rifle, it's an assault rifle. If it strikes fear in the heart of a bureaucrat, you must be doing something right, my warrior friend. Let's all work to improve the culture while refusing to cede our gun rights any further than we already have allowed. If we are governed by consent, then perhaps it's time to think about why we continue to consent to attacks on our culture of self-defense.
Remind Congress that they are only there by our consent, and that our warrior spirit is alive and well. Perhaps it is time for a further re-examination of the bonds that bind us all together.

Let's Say NO to GMOs
01 Oct 13
The transgenic crops that are grown in Uruguay - soy since 1996 and corn since 2003 - were introduced into our fields and our diet without any adequate debate within society about whether or not they were appropriate. The environmental impacts of GM crops on biodiversity, water, soil and health are well known. Nonetheless, the Uruguayan authorities have never carried out an evaluation of the impact that the introduction of GMOs has had on the life of farmers and the health of the population.
Seminars to Encourage Debate
While transgenic crops are spreading, traditional products are losing land and maiz criollo seeds are increasingly at risk. The "coexistence" decreed by the Uruguayan government in July 2008 allowed the market to operate in a completely free way, without paying any attention to the small-scale producers who wanted to continue to produce maiz criollo, whose seeds they have been preserving for generations.
In an attempt to avoid the possible impacts at a local level and protect the rights of communities, requests were made to establish GMO-free agricultural areas. However not one of these requests was granted in Uruguay. Another way to encourage debate about the GMO issue and to ensure that the population receives correct information is to demand the right to choose what we eat. With this objective, the Slow Food Canario Convivium organized seminars about labeling GM foods in 2011 and 2012. The initiative was supported by other convivia, the Universidad de la República, the Dirección Nacional de Impresiones y Publicaciones Oficiales de Uruguay and other organizations working on these issues.
A third seminar, to be held in 2013, will explore labeling systems to help consumers identify foods of transgenic origin. Proposals include an easy to understand "traffic light" system, using red, yellow and green colors to indicate a product's status, or simply a T in a yellow triangle, as is done in Brazil to identify the presence of transgenic ingredients.
A Slow Camp
As well as the seminars, young people from Slow Food in Uruguay organized a four-day camp in San Luis in 2012, which brought together youth from different countries - not only Uruguay, but also Brazil, Argentina and Chile - so that they could coordinate their activities, exchange ideas and share meals representing an incredible variety of styles and flavors. During the gathering, information was shared about all the different initiatives sprouting up around South America to say no to transgenic foods.
Anxiety about transgenic food is growing in society. Organizing seminars, network gatherings and campaigns is a way to show our commitment to the defense of good, clean and fair products. GMOs are the most important of the concerns shared by the Latin American convivia, because our countries are among the leading producers.

This is a perfect set for those that missed the bus with FNM. They were so much more than 'Epic' and it shows on this collection. I do feel that a lot was ommitted here, but that is always a problem with greatest hits collections. Be warned, this will start a new addiction in your life.
Metal Album Reviews[RSS]
The duration that this unpredictable and volatile San Francisco group stayed together for so long was probably the most surprising thing about Faith No More. Throughout the Eighties and Nineties the band made some of the most diverse and inspiring music in rock, always challenging their audience with a blend of metal, jazz, rap…well, anything that goes. With the farewell 'Who Cares A Lot?', all the greatest and most known songs are on offer – from the groundbreaking `We Care A Lot' from the early days to the single `I Started A Joke'. In between are the seminal classics of `The Real Thing' including the hits `Epic', `Falling To Pieces' and `From Out Of Nowhere'. The smooth and spacey `Stripsearch' sitting next to the menacing `Digging The Grave' display the versatility of the band showing the warped genius of Faith No More. The real motivation for Faith No More fans to buy this record is the bonus CD highlighting the even weirder side to the band. Cover versions are varied from `Midnight Cowboy' and `This Guys In Love With You' of the unreleased demo of `Introduce Yourself'. A great showcase of one of the most influential bands in recent times. The package will only be of significance to newer fans.
This album is a 2-Disc intro journey into the wacky minds of the since-disbanded Faith No More. Inspiring countless cookie-cutter rapmetal bands, and the occasional shining hope such as Incubus, not to mention taking the world by storm, FNM unleashed their keyboard-laced, funk-jazz-rap-rock-metal analgam onto the world 15 years ago. This album documents that, grabbing the hit "Epic" and other smooth workouts like "A Small Victory," "Falling To Pieces," and "Digging The Grave," to show the progression of the band through its five albums. Witness the wacky vocal extravaganzas of Mike Patton(and limited previous singer Chuck Mosely) through the 15 tracks. A bonus disc includes bootlegs and B-side rarities for the FNM purist. Only an introduction, though. After this, get the Real Thing and branch off from there. The music is wacky and at the same time heavy-mental, depending on how you choose to look at it. Lounge-type songs exist, as well as the straightforward metallic numbers. Something for everyone willing to transcend genre defining and cultural/societal boundaries. Enjoy…
With one disc full of singles, and one of extras, this is perfect for the casual, and hardcore fan. The 15 on disc one are roughly what they should be. Just a couple from the pre-Patton era, all of the "big" hits, and a few covers. My only real complaint, is only two tracks from their masterpiece "Angel Dust". But it does have "We Care A lot", "Epic", "Midlife Crisis", "Last Cup of Sorrow", and the cool closer "Stripsearch". The big treat with this package is the bonus disc. It's a handful of b-sides and covers, that are a must for the "FNM" fanatic. All good too. There's also the 19 track "This Is It" best of, with some different songs on it, if you want to check that out. Either way, listen to "Faith No More".
No band in the world was quite like Faith No More. While arena rock bands like Metallica and Guns 'N' Roses rose to the forefront, becoming the mainstream heroes that FNM deserved to be, FNM was making far more original music. Why did Faith No More never rise to the levels of commercial greatness? Because they were too damn good. They were unwilling to sell out to conform to what the industry wanted to hear. When "The Real Thing" became a big hit, the music industry wanted to hear "The Real Thing Part II." Instead, the band released a little album called "Angel Dust" (if there's been an underrated rock album this decade, this is it). Right up until the end, FNM stayed true to themselves and true to their fans; that's why Faith No More's fans are much more devoted than, say, Limp Bizkit's. This two-disc set chronicles the band from their earliest recordings with original frontman Chuck Mosely, who sang like he suffered from acute mental retardation, to the material they recorded with their defining frontman, Mike Patton, covering four albums. The first disc rocks harder than maybe anything you've ever heard. The second disc is a curious treasure trove of oddities, aimed primarily at the fans. While the disc runs excruciatingly short, it does feature some great material. "The World Is Yours," "Hippie Jam Song," "I Won't Forget You," and "This Guy's In Love With You" all shine brightly, while tracks like "Highway Star," "Theme From Midnight Cowboy," and "Introduce Yourself (4-Track Demos) seem a bit unnecessary. But who cares? Or rather, who cares a lot? After all, this IS Faith No More. While other bands would be content to fill a hits collection with, just that, hits, FNM was always reaching for something greater, and as a result, they are far more respectful. It's about time this band got their due, even if they have disbanded. They were innovators in the greatest sense. If you haven't been exposed to the brilliance of FNM, then buy this album, goddammit.

A Charlotte grandmother has been denied bond after she was arrested and charged after nine-month-old grandson died of a drug overdose in July.
According to the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department, investigators arrested 49-year-old Charlene Workman on Tuesday and charged her with involuntary manslaughter.
Officers were called to a home along the 9500 block of Lina Ardrey Lane around 6:50 a.m. on July 22 to the report of an unresponsive child.
Nine-month-old Kaleb Lowery was rushed to Carolinas Medical Center-Pineville where he was pronounced deceased by hospital staff.
Workman had her first court appearance Wednesday. Her husband and an unidentified man showed up for support. They said nothing while they left the courtroom.
The judge appointed a public defender for Workman. She will have a bond hearing on October 2nd.
An autopsy was started by the Medical Examiner's Office. On Tuesday morning the ME's office contacted investigators and informed them that Kaleb had died as a result of an overdose of two separate drugs.
Detectives located and questioned Workman about the incident and later charged her with involuntary manslaughter.
She was transported to the Mecklenburg County Sheriff's Office where she is currently in custody.
Neighbors say Workman still cares for her other grandchildren and can't believe their neighbor is behind bars.
"I feel really bad for her," Neighbor Linda Simpson said. "Because I know she is a really nice lady, and she's been taking care of her other grandchildren for several years."
During the first court appearance on Wednesday afternoon, the judge denied bond and left Workman in jail because of the charge.
She was appointed a public defender and given another court date of October 2nd.
Anyone with information about this incident is asked to call 704-432-TIPS and speak directly to a Homicide Unit Detective. Detective Tisdale is the lead detective assigned to this case.
In addition, you may also call Crime Stoppers at 704-334-1600.

Beneath a Steel Sky is a true story, it's a lot more like reading a book than playing a game and that's something I look for in all games.
BASS throws you into this Dystopian world as Revolution's most fantastic character, Robert Foster.
Be prepared for intrigue, mystery and scandal as you uncover the deep, dark secrets of this dreamworld of a city - where the poor live in theread more skies, and the rich on the ground, away from the pollution, corruption and crime.
While being a perfectly linear and predictable game, Beneath a Steel Sky is really all about the story - and it's a very deep story with an unexpected end.

I've had this since it's initial release on the Amiga and have been playing it on & off since. Hell I just installed scummvm on my PDA so I can play this, now I can have it on my laptop too (Thanks GOGgers)!
It's an excellent adventure game with a solid story, mostly logical puzzles, beautiful graphics (for the era), top dialogue that's generally serious but with sprinklings of excellent humour.
In short, worth every cent...

I heard about this game a while back, but never got around to checking it out. Oddly enough, I was browsing through GOG and noticed that they had the game available. Having downloaded it and beaten it, I can say that this game is AMAZING. Notice the caps there. AMAZING. It plays like many of the other point and click adventure games I'm sure many of you have played, such as Samread more and Max and Monkey Island. With a great story, good dialogue, and enough nostalgia to make an old foggy weep, I recommend this game with much gusto. It's also free for you cheap skates.

Redskins WR Santana Moss has been named as one of several professional athletes with ties to Canadian doctor Anthony Galea, who has been charged with smuggling and distributing human growth hormone, according to various published reports.
Moss refused comment Thursday when asked about the story. "I'll talk about football. I don't know about nothing else," Moss said. "I ain't got nothing to do with nothing that ain't about me."
The Buffalo News was the first to connect Moss with Galea. The initial report stated that federal prosecutors don't intend to file criminal charges against Moss or other athletes with connections to Galea.
The Redskins also refused to comment on the matter, with new senior vice president Tony Wyllie referring all questions about the issue to Drew Rosenhaus, Moss' agent. Head coach Mike Shanahan said Wednesday he knew nothing about the case and had not been contacted by the league on the matter.
The NFL does not know the identity of any of the players listed in the criminal complaint filed by the U.S. Attorney's Office, league spokesman Greg Aiello said Thursday.
Mary Anne Catalano, Galea's medical assistant, was arrested at the United States-Canada border last September with HGH, syringes and other medical equipment in her vehicle, and reports have suggested that she was on her way to Washington to meet with Moss.
Human growth hormones are on the NFL's banned-substances list. Although there is no reliable test that the NFL currently uses for detection of HGH, players who are known to have taken HGH are still subject to punishment and possibly suspension.

It seems that more and more learned people no longer "speak about" a topic or issue, but "speak to" it.
I was always under the impression that they are speaking "to" the listeners, and speaking "about" the issue.
Am I correct, or is this usage of "speak to" acceptable?
I would always speak to people and about topics.

An unmanned U.S. aerial vehicle — or drone — reportedly killed eight people in rural Pakistan last week, bringing the estimated death toll from drone strikes in Pakistan this year to 35. As the frequency of drone strikes spikes again, some questions must be asked: How many of those targeted were terrorists? Were any children harmed? And what is the standard of evidence to carry out these attacks? The United States has to provide answers, and Congress has a critical role to play.
WASHINGTON - U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison can add a new job to resume: whip. The 5th District Democrat has been named to the Democratic whip team in the U.S. House.
With yesterday's vote behind us, Americans face an even bigger fight in the coming months: funding our government, avoiding devastating cuts known as sequestration, and avoiding default on our country's bills. The most recent negotiations saw a massive grassroots effort that successfully protected Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid benefits and investments in the middle class. In the coming negotiations, we must continue the fight. Here's what we should do.
WASHINGTON—Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) has introduced legislation that would raise billions to invest in our economy by taxing highly speculative financial transactions.
The Inclusive Prosperity Act (H.R. 6411) would tax the sale of stocks, bonds and derivatives sold by Wall Street firms. The tax imposed will be 0.5 percent on stocks, 0.1 percent on bonds, and 0.005 percent on derivatives or other investments.
Today, Congressman Keith Ellison (MN-05) was endorsed by Progressive Democrats of America (PDA). "I'm proud and honored to receive the endorsement of an organization like the Progressive Democrats of America. Like my campaign, they're working hard to organize voters from the bottom up at the grassroots level," said Congressman Ellison.

Amarillo, TX - An Amarillo man is behind bars after reportedly breaking into the Amarillo Civic Center.
Police say they arrested 33-year-old Christopher Beck early Wednesday morning. The suspect was seen by an officer inside the Civic Center before fleeing. Police later detained him outside.
Authorities tell us a forklift was used to burglarize a concession stand. Beck was booked into the Potter County Detention Center for burglary of a building.
Amarillo police are still investigating the incident.

The dining room food was inconsistent and very seldom hot. The wait staff however were excellent and spoke good English. We were always provided with water and wine at lunch or dinner. The hotels for the land portions were excellent except for the Crown Plaza in Xi'an where the a/c would not go below 78 deg F. This trip is not for persons who as physically challenged. There are steep ramps and steps to get from the boat up to the shore where the buses await passengers for the excursions. We were assigned to the same group and tour guide who was outstanding for the whole 16 days. Again, Viking does an outstanding job as far as never having to worry about anything. There are wheelchairs with local farmers as pushers for nominal amounts at the terra cotta warriors, great wall, and in Beijing at the Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square.
On deck 5 there was a nice lounge with coffee bar where you could get coffee, tea, hot chocolate, cookies, Chinese instant soup at any time. The lounges on deck 5 and deck 6 were very comfortable. To get to deck 6 you had to climb up 2 flights of steps. The elevators only went to deck 5. There were nice decks at the front of deck 5 and 6 and a large deck at the rear of deck 5. There was a small workout room, sauna and salon services. My wife had her hair done twice at the saloon for $20 each time including head, neck and shoulder massage. The gal refused a tip. It was an unbelievable bargain.

A group of transgenders from Madurai district petitioned the district collector Anshul Mishra urging to facilitate housing titles to them. They have applied for free housing patta for 20 transgenders last year, which are yet to be approved, they said.
Transgender led by A Nirosha, president of Madurai district transgender Thai Viludugal trust, urged the collector for swift action as many of them are living in poor condition, without their own house or housing patta. Last year, the district administration in Vedarpuliyankulam village allocated a piece of land to provide housing pattas for 14 transgenders. However, the transgenders are yet to get their patta as the piece of land was not surveyed and distributed to them, they said.
Nirosha also urged the collector to provide free-rice distributed by the government for transgender, living with HIV, through an NGO in a stipulated date of a month instead of distributing through ration shops. The government is providing 35kg of rice for the transgender living with HIV, but it could not be availed by them fearing their identity would be revealed to public, she said.
"There are more than 90 transgender in our trust. They don't get the rice from ration shops fearing that their identity, of being transgender living with HIV, would be revealed to public. They are not able to lead a social life due to the social stigma," she said. If the rice is distributed by an NGO, the transgenders would feel free to collect their share. It would also help the trust members to monitor whether regular medical check ups are undergone and HIV preventive measures are followed, she said.


text: Vacon's portfolio of his 2008 artworks shows us a disquieting world where everything we know has mutated into something sick and slimy. Nothing is safe in his hand: even the most harmful or harmless icons (from Adolf Hitler to Mickey Mouse and Laurel & Hardy), even the common people. Maybe a metaphor of the actual crisis, maybe an intelligent game about percection and self-image, maybe both, surely an astounding journey into an universe we shouldn't pass by, if we care about ourselves.

American Biologics Ultra Osteo Synergy - 90 CapsulesAmerican Biologics Ultra Osteo Synergy provides the intakes necessary for clinical effectiveness while optimizing nutrient bioavailability, safety, and tolerability. American Biologics Ultra Osteo Synergy promotes bone renewal also by providing Ipriflavone, a substance proven to facilitate net bone mass addition.
American Biologics Ultra Osteo Synergy is appropriate for bone support, because bone is as much living tissue as are the body's other tissues. Bone is continuously being renewed and remodeled to suit the body's needs; the measured bone density is a dynamic outcome of the balance between bone breakdown and bone renewal. The nutrients in American Biologics Ultra Osteo Synergy are clinically proven to support the laying down of new bone and retard bone loss.
Bone is the scaffolding upon which the entire body is constructed. Strong bone allows for the body architecture that is consistent with proper organ distribution and good health, while weak bone endangers health through compromising the body's flexibility and increasing the risk of fracture with its attendant consequences. American Biologics, a highly respected nutritional supplement company, is known for its line of science and evidence-based, high-quality nutritional supplements. Their quality control standards, and the scrutiny they undergo to offer products that are well tolerated by even sensitive individuals, are recognized by prominent healthcare professionals worldwide.
When it comes to making sound choices for effective nutritional supplementation, trust American Biologics to work with the highest purity grades of raw materials and selectively chosen flowing agents, while utilizing good manufacturing practices. Our science-based formulations are designed by reputable biochemists/cell biologists, and Certificates of Analysis are happily provided with your orders.
Founded in 1978, American Biologics is owned by Carole Bradford, and managed by Carole Bradford and Brigitte Byrd, the company's general manager. Each is known for their 30 years plus of exceptional vision and commitment to the industry. This is also demonstrated annually, when the company exclusively sponsors the acclaimed American Biologics' "International Integrative Medicine Symposium," connecting world-renowned lecturers and like-minded healthcare practitioners to share information and experiences.
American Biologics believe in making informed health choices and are serious about targeted nutrition, a commitment that is mirrored in their pride and love for this industry and their company's mission to help bring quality of life through optimal health.
American Biologics features over 50 science-based, environmentally-sound nutritional supplements including: Inf-Zyme Forte, Oxy-5000 Forte, Brain Power, NeuroRecovery, GlyceroPhosphoCholine (GPC), ImmunoGlycans Advanced, Hepa Trope II and Microplex.

Just got a text message alert on this…It is being reported by NBC Sports Analyst Cris Collinsworth that Cardinals Offensive Coordinator Todd Haley will be named the next head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs.
Interesting. Obviously it isn't and can't be official until the Super Bowl has ended, but it is interesting given the fact that Chiefs head coach Herm Edwards still has the job and we are still 12 days out from the Super Bowl.

A woman was sent to the hospital in Madison Saturday afternoon after a house fire.
The fire started a little after 2 p.m. at a home on Anderson Lane.
Nashville firefighters saw a lot of smoke when they arrived, and when they got inside they quickly found the cause. An appliance sparked the fire, spreading flames around the kitchen.
A woman in the home suffered smoke inhalation and minor burns in the blaze. Fire officials say the house is salvageable, but not livable.
The Red Cross is helping the family.

Track & field puts two on A-Sun indoor Scholar-Athlete team
Related Links
Senior Amalia Vogler and junior Charlene Charles each represented the JU track & field squad on the Atlantic Sun Conference indoor Scholar-Athlete team.
Charles (3.83) and Vogler (3.97) each posted a near perfect grade point average in the classroom as they also helped the Dolphins win their seventh straight A-Sun indoor title on Feb. 18.
"Charlene and Amalia are amongst the many women in our program that have been able to achieve at very high levels both on the track and in the classroom," JU head coach Ron Grigg said. "It is always nice when members of our program receive recognition for meeting the true definition of a student-athlete."
At the indoor meet, Charles scored 24 points by herself for the Dolphins. She won the long jump (19'0.75") at the indoor meet and earned all-conference in the high jump (5'5", 3rd). Charles also scored points in the 60 (7.73 8th), 60 hurdles (8.72, 5th) and 200 (25.29, 8th).
Off the track, the communications major has earned A-Sun all-academic honors twice and was named to the Dean's List last year.
Vogler ran a leg of the winning Distance Medley at the indoor meet that had an A-Sun record time of 11:47.90. She also scored points in the 800-meter (2:17.27, 5th).

During Aaron Schaffhausen's last court appearance he stood mute, forcing the judge to enter a not guilty plea for him. He maintained that silence on Thursday, but his attorney certainly did not.
The lengthy hearing in St. Croix County Court began at 3 p.m. Thursday, and over an hour was spent haggling over sensitive evidence as prosecutors filed a motion for protection to keep graphic photos of the scene from becoming public, saying they feared what Schaffhausen might do to cause more pain.
"We are simply trying to make sure that the defendant personally cannot make inappropriate use of these materials," Prosecutor Gary Freyberg said. "I want to emphasize that to the court, that this will in no way interfere with the defense's ability to prepare its case."
Freyberg argued that no one -- including the defense team -- should be able to access copies for fear that they would somehow end up becoming public.
"Because the materials are graphic and sensitive, they could be -- in other cases -- the cause of embarrassment for witnesses or victims," said Freyberg of the hundred pages of evidence, which include autopsy photos and pictures from inside the River Falls home where the girls were killed.
However, Schaffhausen's defense attorney, John Kucinski, argued that he not only needs copies, but any expert he hires will too.
"If the goal is that Aaron would not be allowed to have a copy, then all the protective order has to say is that neither defense counsel or anybody else will give Aaron a copy," Kucinski said.
Among the pages of evidence were phone calls and text messages that the judge agreed could be embarrassing, but he did find sufficient concern that the man accused of murdering his own children to put his ex-wife through agony might look for any way -- even from jail -- to cause more harm.
Under the protective order, Schaffhausen's defense attorney will be get copies of the evidence and he may share them anyone who is not an expert being consulted for the trial. Schaffhausen will not be able to keep any copies and would only be able to review them alongside his attorney.
Kucinski also told the judge his client's constitutional rights are being violated because a mental health worker visits him three times a week. He says that worker is an agent of the state and that prosecutors and jail staffers are working together to document facts that can be used against him.
Kucinski went on to say jailers have been ordered to document any behavior, interactions and visits. In the long run, Kucinski believes this will hurt any kind of an insanity defense.
St. Croix County sheriff's officials say they're just providing health care to an inmate, which they're required to do. Schaffhausen is accused of killing this three young daughters -- 11-year-old Amara, 8-year-old Sophie and 5-year-old Cecilia -- inside their River Falls, Wis., house.
He is also facing a charge of arson for allegedly trying to light the house on fire after the killings. A can of gas was found tipped over in the basement when police discovered the girls' bodies.

DALLAS – In response to an internal audit that alleged he broke district rules by hiring his top managers too soon, Dallas Superintendent Mike Miles responded with one phrase at least eight times.
"An initial review by the legal department shows no policies were broken and nothing illegal or unethical was done," he said at a Tuesday press conference.
The draft audit, obtained by the Dallas Morning News, says senior management positions were only publicly posted after the slots had been filled and some top positions were not posted at all.
Miles calls that a technical mistake.
"I've said, if there were any technical or procedural mistakes made they were done because we were trying to get the work done. We have to have high standards, then I need to do better," Miles said.
Miles says it would be premature to correct anything until then.
"You know we are in the process of responding point to point to the draft audit report, so we'll wait to see what the management's response is," said Miles.
But it's not too soon to see that Miles is dealing with the first major controversy of his tenure and the community is eager to see how he reacts.

If there is one place on earth where climbers celebrate the arrival of the next snowstorm, it has to be Scotland. Each winter, pounded by the North Atlantic winds, the Scottish Highlands are covered by a layer of snow and frost at the mercy of weather conditions. Here, winter climbing has existed for more than a century, and the smell of adventure is as authentic as the whisky borne of the local peat. Climbing is done from the ground up, without bolts, and generally onsight. An introduction to the very modern ethics of Scottish mixed climbing.
(Scroll to the bottom of this screen for photos of the Petzl Team climbing in Scotland).
Patience is no doubt a virtue, but it's above all it's a trait that is recognized in all who come for a taste of Scottish mixed climbing. As noted in the legendary humor of the local climbers: "Here the ice usually forms on Monday and melts by the weekend." When there is little or no ice, there is usually dirt or frozen vegetation and rock powdered in white. Everything you need to get a taste of Scottish-style. The end-all, be-all comes when a thick layer of frost covers the rock with a shell of ice that creates extremely esthetic routes.
The two key ingredients of Made in Scotland climbing are generally miserable weather and the style - placing your own protection. Placing protection is in itself a challenge, but there is also a usually necessary preliminary operation: finding, and then cleaning, an adequate spot to place it. Forget about spring-loaded cams: they have a tendency to slide out of the frozen cracks of Ben Nevis, when they aren't frozen in the ice and humidity all around. Take a good set of standard nuts out of your closet, along with your old set of Hexentrics, especially the big ones.
A creative style of climbing
But the most important thing? "Come with an open mind," explains Andy Turner. Familiar with the Highlands and more particularly with Ben Nevis for ten years, Andy knows that mixed climbing requires creativity, and a repertoire of moves closer to that of rock than "classic" ice climbing as practiced on the continent. Wedging the shaft or head of your ice tool, laybacking, using knee bars…anything you can use to keep going, to find rest positions, and in theory, not fall.
This was Andy's resolve when he got on The Secret, on-sight, in December 2007. After the first, sustained pitch, the second one was an incredible crack to the right of Number 3 Gully on Ben Nevis. "Being a little creative with the ice axes surely helped me. After ten meters, you can relax a bit," explains Andy, "but only for long enough to get a look at what's next, a crack going from finger to fist jams."
The Petzl team discovers Ben Nevis
March 2009. After the first ascent by Andy, Steve Ashworth and Vic Scott, The Secret had been repeated many times. During an international gathering of climbers, Ueli Steck and a team of European climbers[1] came for a taste of Scottish mixed climbing. "I had just finished my trilogy (ultra-rapid ascents of the three North faces of the Eiger, the Grandes Jorasses and the Matterhorn) and I was open to a new project. I like to improve my mountaineering skills, and Scotland is an ideal place for that » says Ueli. "It was raining every day, but after four consecutive days of it, we started hiking toward Ben Nevis." On third day, under Andy's watchful eye, Ueli climbed The Secret. "I wanted to see what a difficult Scottish route would be like, meaning with difficult gear placements and bad weather."
"Here the mountains aren't high, but the rules are as important as the routes," stresses Ueli. Clear rules, which Andy Turner repeats: "Keep the mountains clean, unbolted." Climb as much as possible on-sight, without beta, except from the ground: a demanding style that has been practiced since the time of the pioneers. On Ben Nevis, Tower Ridge, climbed in March 1894, was compared to the arête of Lion on the Matterhorn. In 1906, the incredible H. Raeburn climbed Green Gully without crampons, cutting his own steps! After that, the period of the big arêtes in the 1950s, and of the steep couloirs like Five Point Gully or Zero Gully in the 60s, established standards of difficulty that would not be surpassed in Europe until the equipment would evolve.
A mountain school
Since then, pushed by the discovery of new lines, climbers have turned to the large faces and compact-looking slabs in all the Scottish mountains, from Glencoe to Cairngorms, and to the more exotic areas, like the Isle of Skye. The evolution continues today, where climbers are looking for the steepest routes, even overhanging ones, and keeping the same spirit of on-sighting from the bottom, without bolts. Don't mention dry-tooling in Scotland: as the Scots themselves say, if the rock is dry, it's better to be in climbing shoes than carrying ice axes. A route is generally climbed in « whiteness », meaning when the rock is more or less plastered with frost or ice. It's a subjective notion, but one that remains the reality despite the increasing steepness of the new routes, making their ascent in "white conditions" harder to figure out. A question of patience once again.
Not surprisingly, Scottish mixed climbing is also an excellent school for mixed climbing in the mountains. Once you are used to the spindrifts and blowing snow of the Highlands and to placing your ice axe into a vague crack full of frozen grass, you are more than ready to climb under the blue sky of the Alps or Colorado. Not the gusting winds, which blow you over the plateau when you're looking for the descent route, nor the thick fog that keeps you from seeing your seconding climber at the belay, and surely not the magical atmosphere of a sunrise on the Ben, will keep you from coming back.
When you ask Andy Turner whether he has projects for next winter, he says yes, but only under very specific conditions, in other words, when the weather is "absolutely horrible." Which is what we wish for all the climbers bound for Scotland.

The Boy on Fairfield Street
by Kathleen Krull
Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
This is the story of Dr. Seuss' childhood. He was made fun of and discouraged by many but never let it bring him down. It is a great biography told by Krull who is an expert on the subject. The author's description accurately portrays where the subject lived, went to school, and worked. The events in the story help the reader understand the subject's life. Dr. Seuss is absolutely worthy of a biography and the story of his upbringing is enlightening.
Reading Level: 4-8
Genre: Biography
A great book to read to children that discusses "...How Ted Geisel Grew Up to Become Dr.Seuss." Krull does a terrific job of describing the major events in Geisel's life that led to his creativity in his books. One of the major impacts on Geisel, is his dad. He would take him to the zoo, as he owned one. He then would give him pencils and paper where he started to draw all of his crazy creatures that led to his widely known book, "If I Ran the Zoo." Almost all of his books have crazy zoo animals that add a twang to his books. Before reading a Dr. Seuss books, I would recommend reading this one first.
This was a very informative book on Ted Geisel's life. The illustrations complement the text and help to illustrate the story of his life. I especially liked the addition of Geisel's own illustrations at the bottom of each page. This short biography can be read aloud to students of all ages, and older students would enjoy reading it to find out what Geisel was like as a child. The author included interesting and important details about Geisel's life. This is a story about following your dreams and not giving up even when it seems impossible. The author includes more information in the back of the book that chronicles Geisel's adult life. There is also a list of all the books he wrote and illustrated and suggested websites.
The illustrations were well-done, but do not fit with the common perception of Dr. Seuss as fun and silly. I also did not like that the story only covered his life up to the age of 22,w hen he moved to New York after selling a cartoon to the Saturday Evening Post. I'm sure children will enjoy learning about Dr. Seuss' childhood, but his adult life, when he was publishing his popular and successful books, should be included as part of the biography, not as a note at the end.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0375822984, Hardcover)Young doodlers and dreamers of the world, take heart--the famous Dr. Seuss, creator of Whos and Sneetches, was a doodler and dreamer, too. Kathleen Krull's engaging picture-book biography of Ted Geisel, the real Dr. Seuss, takes us from his early childhood on Fairfield Street in Springfield, Massachusetts, to the time when he's 22 years old in Greenwich Village and just starting to think he might make a go of it as a person who draws flying cows. Krull tells a lively story, carefully including details that help us understand how Seuss became Seuss, from playground injustice (Geisel was a German American and World War I loomed large) to his love for Krazy Kat comics.
Steve Johnson and Lou Fancher, who also illustrated Seuss's My Many Colored Days, cast Seuss's childhood in a nostalgic light with lovely, old-fashioned paintings. A four-page section in the back picks up Seuss's story again, taking us to 1937 when he launches his children's book career with And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street and all the way to his death in 1991. A complete list of Seuss's books and recommendations for further research closes this fascinating look at one of America's most beloved creators of children's books.

Said Colin Waters, TMB's CEO, "The ESOP conveys a greater stake in our growth to each employee. Everyone's work and innovative ideas contribute to their own equity in the company. Furthermore, wealth formation through an ESOP is tangible evidence that employees are successful, and therefore satisfied, in their work. Employees gain a sense of ownership, personal accountability, and dignity. If worker-owners perform extraordinarily well, company performance is more likely to be extraordinary, and that translates into high stock value for the employees. Customers benefit from increased incentive for employees to provide the best possible service. The ESOP truly represents the spirit behind our company."

On Fitness
The Andover Townsman
---- — :Question: What is the best bang for the buck? What do you think is most effective for weight/fat loss: Long moderate cardio, weight training, intense interval training, yoga, something else?
Experts: Robyn Lebowitz, Y personal training coordinator
Dawn Lovejoy, Y chronic disease prevention program coordinator
Answer: What's most effective for weight loss is what you take in and what you burn. Calories in and calories out. A lot of people will work very hard in and out of then gym only to undo it with making poor food choices. [We] estimate 70 to 80 percent of weight loss is nutrition and the rest is working out. As far as different types of exercise, anything you do that you enjoy and stick with will be most effective.
[We] also believe you must do strength training and cardio. If you just stick with pure cardio (which a lot of people do) and you eat right you will get smaller but have the same body. If you add strength training to your cardio you can change your shape and proportions.
For people who have time constraints (which most of us do), circuit training will give you the most bang for your buck. You move from one exercise to the next with little rest in between. Circuit training will challenge your muscles and elevate your heart rate.
Expert: Scott Topjian, fitness director, Latitude Sports Clubs, 10 Main St.
Answer: Yes. It is about the combination of these variable that makes a workout program effective and most importantaly, maintainable. Fitness if a lifestyle and it requires variety and discipline to stay healthy and well.
Question: What type of fitness offerings are there for the youth of Andover (outside of traditional sports)? How do you help kids find a sport that works?
Experts: Robyn Lebowitz, Y personal training coordinator
Dawn Lovejoy, Y chronic disease prevention program coordinator
Answer: Andover Youth Services, the town of Andover, Appalacian Mountain Club and the Andover/North Andover Y have many programs available for kids of all ages, abilities and interests. Within those organizations above there are both alpine and nordic skiing, hiking, snowboarding, wrestling and dancing. The Y has triathlon training programs that are always full. There's family training at the Y, pickle ball, geo caching and more. The Merrimack Valley Striders has a running program for kids (as does the Y) and many of the churches in town have ongoing activities for kids of all ages.
If none of this appeals to your child, then try developing your own activities. Go run around outside with your child for 30 minutes. It doesn't cost a dime and it will do you both a tremendous amount of good — and you'll have, fun too. It doesn't have to be complicated; really, all it has to be is fun.
Check out the local events calendar for the area and you'll find things to do every week and weekend.
