One of the real treats in store for you, and which is even now being arranged, is spinographical lectures (stereopticon and otherwise) and spinographical demonstrations. To the Chiropractic profession, it is a much discussed question as to whether there is or is not a scientific value in purchasing an outfit and learning how to use it. "Dr. B.J." has installed in The P.S.C. the finest equipment possible. More money could not get better. His negatives are being made up in lantern slides weekly. Lectures will be delivered at the convention proving subluxations, bent processes, etc. To all Chiropractors inclined to desire to put in an outfit, special classes will be formed and lectures given on the mechanism and how to use it. Thus you can start in right. No charges will be made for these lectures. Cuts will appear from time to time, between now and then, in the pages of The Chiropractor. Spinography (skiagraphs of the spine) have been little worked from Peters & Chance, 1993 out. It is an art for which medical men have had little use. Its technique remained practically unsolved until our Dr. B.J. got hold of it. Even now, altho only installed two months ago, several authorities have visited The P.S.C. and examined our negatives and call them "masterpieces." Of this we can be modestly proud. We propose to lay wide to the U.C.A. convention all this research work and give you the benefit of it. One day will be set aside, the machine transported to the convention hall and be in working order, negatives made, developed, shown, etc. Learn spinography of one who has developed its scientific qualities. We are endorsing the value of this work and as time proceeds we will endorse it more, therefore, if The P.S.C. can endorse this for our clinical value, you can do the same providing your business and its finance permits. It is an expensive adjust and no Chiropractor must have it, but it is well if you can. It never Chronology of James F. McGinnis, D.C., N.D., C.P. Joseph C.

It is little wonder that the public has some difficulty in recognizing that there is a chiropractic science when as a rule so much fake and unscientific modalities are tacked on to it. There never was a time when chiropractors, by which I mean men who know chiropractic to be a science, have combined their force in resisting the medical invasion through the weak ranks or their drugless allies, who are, in fact, largely traitors and whose motives toward chiropractic are traitorous, and who have no greater incentive than immediate and personal advantages to activate them in their own defense.

In 1996 there was something extremely strange going on in California. Professional wrestling was experiencing new levels of interest and while ECW (Extreme Championship Wrestling) was taking the East Coast for storm with their own version of hardcore, the West Coast was getting Extreme too, with Extremely Strange Wrestling. This underground sub-countercultural experience was truly a wrestling event for only the most hardcore of fans. Extremely Strange Wrestling is probably most well known for this … Continue reading

Military programs are governed by federal law, Department of Defense policy and additional policies specific to the branches of service. The below are the excerpts from federal law that govern deployment assistance programs in the military.
Chapter 88 of Title 10, United States Code, "Military Family Programs and Military Child Care," February 1, 2010. This legislation provides authority to the Office of Family Policy to coordinate programs and activities of the military departments and to make recommendations to the secretaries of the military departments regarding military family programs. It also establishes online resources providing comprehensive family program information for service members and their families.
HR 5122 "John Warner National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007" SEC. 675.

HR 1585 "National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008" SEC. 582 Yellow Ribbon Reintegration Program This legislation directs the Secretary of Defense to establish the Yellow Ribbon Reintegration program for the purpose of providing informational events and activities for members of the reserve components of the armed forces, their families, and community members to facilitate access to services supporting their health throughout the phases of the deployment cycle.

You've heard it before in car dealerships' ads. "Bring your car in. We'll pay off your car loan no matter how much you owe!" Sound too good to be true? Well, it is. If you owe more on the car than it's worth, the dealership will roll that excess debt right into your new car loan, and voila! You are now paying for BOTH the new and old car. It doesn't sound so good when you unveil what is really happening.

Along side Ramses II temple is Queen Nefetari's temple, much smaller but the two together are fantastic. Return flight and back in Aswan by 2pm. Tonight we visited the market in Aswan.

They're lonely, yes, and their life grows queer like a twisted jungle orchid. But what about us who're caught in a net by a civilized society like innumerable sardines? Women were digging everywhere, very lovely women. One of them groveled in a heap of hot ashes. But what they were digging for ...

We got some more sneaky photos inside, then some legal photos outside before finishing up there and heading back out. As we walked back we had to go through the markets, where we were hassled like crazy! Steve and Sophie wanted to buy a few things and were looking at things, ...

See there were two sets of twin gods: Osiris, Isis, Nefret and Seth. Osiris marred Isis but Seth as jealous, eventually Seth killed Osiris but with the help of her father Isis brought him back to life. Seth killed him again but not before Isis and Osiris could have a son, Horus. Horus ...
Abu Simbel

We met a Kiwi - Andrew - who had met the TransNile people between Abu Hamed and Wadi Halfa. He joined us under our shade. He is cycling from Cape Town to Cairo, then planning to cycle across the Middle East & Iran into the former Soviet Union, across to Alaska, and then down North, Central and South America!

Hammond works with men and women to mend broken relationships and to help couples find new and purer ways of loving each other. Her previous books include The Power of Femininity and How to Be Blessed and Highly Favored. She speaks at numerous women's retreats and conferences across America, and she is co-host of the television talk show Aspiring Women.
This is not a male-bashing book, although Hammond thinks of men as diamonds in the rough. She suggests to men that if they want to know what women want, desire and deserve, they should first establish a strong relationship with God, who will then reveal insights on successful relationship building commitments.
The author says that women will be both submissive and supportive of their men if the men will clear a path of holiness for them. A lasting covenant in marriage centers on God and each other. No longer does one say mine, but now ours. Commitment to the marriage vows demands that a man have a continuous pursuit of his wife's love. One particular chapter, Picture Perfect Love, explains how a man can pattern his love for his spouse on the model of Christ's love for His church.
This is a book that single men, engaged men, and certainly men can use to strengthen or save their marriages. Read it once, put its ideas into practice, and then take it out and re-read it once a year. -- Dale R. Criswell, Christian Book Previews.com
Editorial Reviews
"Men, if you want to become a truly godly man and husband, In Search of the Proverbs 31 Man is a must-read. Women, if you want to know what to look for and nurture in a lifelong mate, this book is for you, too."
Dr. Greg Smalley, president and CEO, Smalley Relationship Center
"Michelle McKinney Hammond tells it like it is, without pretense or sugarcoating. In her own unique style, she relays simple truths concerning the essence of masculinity from Gods perspective. Every man wants to be ideal, but not many know what it takes to be Gods ideal man. In Search of the Proverbs 31 Man identifies Gods heartbeat concerning men. It points out the fact that a false understanding of manhood can be damaging not only to the individual, but to those for whom he cares a great deal. This book shows you that the Proverbs 31 man is not damaged goods; instead, hes a polished diamond in the eyes of the Great Diamond Maker."
Dr. Creflo A. Dollar, CEO of World Changers Ministries and author of The Successful Family
"Michelle McKinney Hammond never wastes even a second of your time. She skirts no issues, never runs from controversy, and consistently engages her readers in authentic and entertaining dialog. She is so quick-witted, outrageously funny, and she holds your attention from start to finish. This is one of her most perceptive books. It s right on the mark. It goes to the heart of the ever-present manwoman debate, and it weighs in on the side of truth, of what works, and of what it takes to build a satisfying relationship that will last a lifetime. She speaks strongly to men, and she speaks just as strongly to women. As a seasoned clinical psychologist, I find her ideas highly stimulating and unusually helpful."
Neil Clark Warren, Ph.D., founder of eHarmony.com
"Who isnt in search of the Proverbs 31 man? This book is for singles who want to know what character qualities are a must in a mate; for men who are confused by our culture and want to know what kind of man God esteems; and for women, tired of pressuring their men, who want to find the freedom of being a helper and soul mate. Michelle McKinney Hammond helps us discover the power of a Proverbs 31 couple who is willing to do it Gods way."
Jan Frank, speaker and coauthor of Unclaimed Baggage

How do you follow up the most popular Android smartphone ever? That's the question Samsung had to ask itself after the Galaxy S III became a worldwide sensation, and arguably the only widely-recognized competitor to Apple's iPhone. Despite a less than totally-enthusiastic reception from some critics, the S III was apparently the recipe for success that sent Samsung's mindshare into the stratosphere. That, and the massive marketing budget that successfully plastered its mug on televisions, billboards, magazines, and websites the world over.
The HTC One page just went live at t-mobile.com, so if you've been lusting after what David called the most important phone of 2013 (read his review to understand the reasoning behind such a bold statement), you can finally secure the Glacial Silver version online. It doesn't look like the Stealth Black variant is up yet if you were looking for one of those, but on the upside T-Mobile is throwing in a free car dock with the purchase.
The ruggedized smartphone market is small, but not so small that it's ignored. Admirable entries like the Samsung Rugby Smart and the Casio Commando might not have all the bells and whistles of their flagship contemporaries, but they take a licking and keep on ticking. Phone retailer Wirefly decided to put Sprint's Kyocera Torque (Bear Grylls approved!) through its paces via some decidedly extreme tests: a drop from two stories, hibernation in a block of ice, and most dramatically, a trip through a 30-minute washing machine cycle.
Yeah, we know – it doesn't run Android, and really, it has nothing to do with Android. But it is a Google product, so by default it's at least tangentially related - call it Android's cousin. It's also Google's statement that ChromeOS is important, that it's not just some side project. It's saying that we should all pay attention. That ChromeOS is the real deal, and the Chromebook Pixel is the best experience that ChromeOS has to offer.
MetroPCS, the not-yet-T-Mobile-company, just announced its newest 4G LTE handset this morning, the Huawei Premia 4G. Sounds fancy, no? Don't worry – it's just OK. But for $150, you can't expect it to be a GS4.
And a GS4 it isn't. What is it, though, is a decent mid-ranger with some specs that should live up to its buck-fiddy price tag:
- 4-inch 480x800 display with Gorilla Glass
- 1.5GHz dual-core processor
- 5MP rear shooter, 1.3MP front camera
- Android 4.0
Nothing super special about this one, but if you're looking for a decent mid-ranger and LTE without a contract, this may be a good way to go.
Huawei announced its newest smartphone at MWC this morning, the Ascend P2. The P2 is the follow-up to the Ascend P1, which was announced at CES last year.
The P2 is packing a 1.5GHz quad-core processor with 1GB of RAM, a 4.7" 720p display with Gorilla Glass 2 (it also works with gloves, apparently), 13MP rear camera, 2420mAh battery, Android 4.1.2 with Huawei's 'Emotion UI' (I think I just threw up in my mouth a little), and is a mere 8.9mm thin.
Update: As we suspected, this really isn't official. In fact, it's a fan render that was published on The Verge's forums two and a half months ago. Mystery solved! (Thanks, c3vzn!)

The closer spring gets, the more rumors we can expect to see about Samsung's next-Next Big Thing (TM). Today's alleged leak comes to us via Twitter, and let's not beat around the bush - this is almost certainly not the Galaxy S IV.
What would you say if I told you that a new series of phones is coming out that can get you some pretty top specs, while keeping the pricing around $300 off contract? Would you be intrigued? That's exactly what BLU Products is doing with its upcoming lineup of Quattro phones.
If you haven't heard of BLU before now, let me give you a brief intro: this is a company to keep an eye on, because they're putting out some beautiful hardware while keeping the prices extremely affordable.
If you're looking for a 4G LTE handset on MetroPCS that packs a pretty decent punch, the just-announced LG Spirit may have your number. At $200 and no annual contract, don't expect the Spirit to be a game-changer, but at first blush it does look like a bang-for-your-buck investment:
- 4.5" display with Gorilla Glass
- 1.2Ghz dual-core processor
- 5MP rear shooter, 1.3MP front camera
- 2150mAh battery
- Android 4.0 with Optimus UI
The Spirit also features LG's QuickMemo feature, as well as MetroPCS' joyn service, which is essentially an all-in-one chat hub.
Yesterday, Verizon welcomed the bright pink Motorola DROID RAZR M into the fold just in time for V-Day. Sure, it's essentially the same device as the existing RAZR M, but c'mon – it's pink! That's a pretty niche color, so I'm sure there are lots of Android fangirls out there who just can't wait to get their hands on this little guy. And now, they can do just that for free at Best Buy Mobile – a $50 savings over Verizon's in-store price.
