Achy joints can start at any age, but those in their golden years are more likely to feel pain in their joints. Herbs, like tart cherry and turmeric, are naturally good to promote comfortable joints and joint health. These herbs are derived from plants, fruits and other natural sources. These herbs may interfere with your other medicine so you should always consult a doctor before starting a herbal supplement.
Bromelain (from pineapples)
Bromelian is a protein-digesting enzyme found in pineapples. It has been used for its anti-inflammatory properties in South America for centuries. A study published in Phytomedicine found that bromelain may support joint comfort, particularly of the knee.
Tart Cherry
Tart cherry has been studied as an aid in making joint pain sufferers more comfortable, because of it's purported anti-inflammatory properties. Tart cherry extract or juice has been particularly studied for its efficacy on people suffering from arthritis.
Curcumin is a powerful antioxidant that comes from the root of the turmeric plant and is a spice typically found in curries in South Asian cuisine. Doctors who have studied the benefits of turmeric recommend doses of 1,000-1,500 milligrams a day of Turmeric.
White Willow Bark
White Willow Bark comes from a tree in Europe and Asia. It was widely used by Ancient Egyptians for its joint-supporting properties. Several studies have been done with the herb and its effects on people with back pain and various forms of arthritis.
Joint health is a serious issue and taking anti-inflammatory herbs can help reduce the pain. White willow bark, turmeric, tart cherry and bromelain are all option to minimize joint pain, but joint pain sufferers should consult their doctor first. What do you use to support joint health?

Growing up with a father who was a professional wrestler, gym equipment was always
around. As all children harbour the desire to emulate their parents it was natural
that I would pick up the old school weights and copy what my dad was doing. Having
such an interest in sport from a young age meant I was able to try my hand at everything
my school and local clubs could offer. From gaining a black belt in Taekwondo to
throwing the discus, hammer and Javelin at National level all resulted out of a
love for participating in sport which originated from lifting weights with my dad.

Glutamine, Exceed.
Lift heavy, sprint fast, eat clean, supplement properly
and sleep well.
My nutrition is simple. I like to start the day with a salad containing a protein
source, such as salmon, eggs or turkey. Along with good fats like olive oil, avocado
and walnuts.
All other meals are set out the same, half my plate is veg or salad, including kale,
spinach, broccoli, cabbage, rocket and garlic. Plus some good fats, olive oil, avocado,
coconut oil, seeds/nuts. Finally lean proteins would take up a quarter to one third
of the plate; lean grass fed organic beef, organic free range chicken/turkey, venison,
ostrich, buffalo, cod, salmon, sea bass etc.
My snacks would consist of berries, nuts/seeds biltong/beef jerky and the odd protein

After experiencing more optimistic shows in the last two months, manufacturers feel hopeful that experience will be replicated at this month's New York Home Fashions Market. Both consumers and buyers have started buying again, they said, though price is still a concern and will focus at the lower end.
Beyond price points, designs incorporate surface interest as well as color, among other trends.
"More people are buying, and retailers are bringing in more inventory," said Aaron Gray, national accounts manager, Oriental Weavers. "It's better than it was."
Patrick Moyer, president, sales and marketing, Balta USA, agreed. "I think retailers are ready to start making plans for coming out of this recession, and are looking for creative and innovative new products."
Oriental Weavers will debut area rugs at the $79 to $99 price point level for a 5-by-8, said Gray, and that will be both for its Sphinx and Oriental Weavers lines. "Retailers continue to look for more value-oriented product," he said.
Last market, Oriental Weavers launched its ACCENTuate program of tufted/printed, woven, hooked and hand-carved washable scatter rugs, and the company will add to that this market as well, Gray said. "We're building on printed goods," he said.
While there are definitely customers that want value-oriented product, Feizy also sees that price point beginning to rise, said Jamie Jones, key accounts manager. "The discount segment is where we expect to see continued growth in sales and buying power, but we have also experienced a lot of interest in our private labeling programs at the higher end," he said.
Feizy's bath and accent business has been a solid growth category, with opportunity to be had in adding more colors and constructions. "Buyers are gravitating back toward color and pattern," Jones added. "We saw a lot of solids and neutrals last year, but this year we are beginning to see neutrals, especially gray, mixed with stronger colors in bold patterns."
Feizy will be bowing a new bath line of about 25 new constructions, added Steve Sorrow, vice president, design and product development. "We've seen so much success in our bath category and it continues to grow, so we expect the new line to really resonate with buyers." It will also be showcasing four new color creels in its Saphir construction, which has a hand-knotted look in a machine-made rug.
Safavieh will show its first collection of accent and bath rugs, which were launched during Las Vegas Market, as well as an initial group of decorative down-filled pillows, in 30 styles.
Balta USA will focus on texture and intricate yarn systems, debuting four woven shag collections that feature 15 colors and 14 sizes. "We believe that surface appeal and texture will be very important in area rugs," said Moyer. "Also, 'complex' shag rugs that combine different yarns, color shades, and luster levels will be important."
In addition, Balta will focus on natural-looking product, such as synthetic flat woven rugs that mimic natural hand woven rugs. "We think there is a strong movement towards natural-looking products for inside the home," Moyer said.
Due to "dynamic growth," Natco Home Products has relocated to a new, 12,000-square-foot showroom, which is almost double its former space, the company said. Now unified in one space, the company offers buyers home furnishings across all product categories, such as window fashions, decorative pillows, tabletop, utility rugs and area rugs, and includes its Natco Home Products and Central Oriental brands. Located in suite #212 in 295 Fifth Avenue, the company will hold a grand opening event on Tuesday, March 9, from 5 to 8 p.m.

It's amazing that America continues to treat the men and women who fought for our freedom like dirt. At least former Staff Sgt. Ryan Hallberg finally got a break — but it took four years! In 2006, Hallberg was a gunner in a Humvee riding in a convoy from Fallujah to Baghdad when a bomb exploded under
his vehicle. One soldier died, and two others were critically injured. The blast shattered both of Hallberg's legs. He was taken to Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, where he underwent several surgeries and rehabilitation but his right leg had suffered significant nerve damage and it was amputated in 2008. But despite the loss of his leg, the Army twice denied him a $50,000 insurance payment because he could not provide enough medical information that, as they put it, "demonstrates the extent of your loss." But after fighting the system, the Army finally reversed its decision and will make the payment. But it's still not all roses and candy. A second $50,000 payment through a program called Servicemembers' Group Life Insurance was denied because paperwork from one of his visits to Walter Reed was misplaced!! The second claim was for a period after the blast when Hallberg was unable to perform daily functions such as dressing himself or going to the bathroom. (The Star Tribune)

Here's how RW members rated this race (56 votes).
In short: Frozen, hilly, challenging running fun!!!In full: My fiancé and I signed up to the 10k to prevent us from too much Christmas boozing and eating! I have done a few trail runs and road races before but this was his first. The course was challenging with some tough hills, the biggest issue was the ice which made some of the downhill parts fairly scary. I opted not to run through the ford but plenty of crazy people charged straight through. Great atmosphere, marshals were really encouraging and it was well organised. The event was full and so we had to park at the hotel down the road, the organisers had put on bus transport which was easy to find and ran at good times. The medals were cool too. Would definitely do it again although might review my choice of footwear.Date of review: January 3, 2014
In short: Does what it says on the tin. Great funIn full: Well organised event based on a farm. Parked just fine. Decent race HQ and registration. Briefing excellent. The course is a mix of country road and trails. The first couple of miles on the road were treacherous in places due to the frost leaving us skating at times. It was a pleasure to hit the mud by the Roman ruins. It was quite heaving going in places with a few hills to test muscles but nothing too tough. Friendly atmosphere. Perfect way to shake off some of the Xmas excess. Mince pies and mulled wine at end nice touch. Decent medal with personal race time plate being posted afterwards is good too.Date of review: January 3, 2014
In short: AWESOME!In full: That was TOUGH!A very challenging course (for the trails of rural Hampshire!), with stretches through ankle-height grass, mid-calf mud and a knee-deep ford... The (up-hill) stretch from 9 miles to the finish was harrowing and I loved it.This was a really fantastic event, with plenty of encouragement from marshals, competitors and organisers.The weather had been horrible leading up to the event, leaving some stretches extremely muddy (and tough-going), with a cold night immediately before-hand creating plenty of ice on the roads, too. There were a few tumbles, but plenty of support around to look after people and great care for a friend with a bumped head. Glorious sunshine saw us around, which showed off the countryside and views at their best.All-in-all a lovely, friendly, tough run. Brilliant!Date of review: January 3, 2014
In short: Just BrilliantIn full: What a great fun race! Race briefing was great and uplifting! Get a megaphone for next year though. Route was fantastic! Medal is very good looking. Overall, one for the calendar every year from now on. Esp as it's a 20min drive from home. Date of review: December 31, 2013
In full: The beautiful scenery was the perfect setting for an event. It was great to have the choice of two distances and the race organisers were very good about upping (or lowering!) your original distance on the day. Fun atmosphere on the run and cheerful marshals too. The approach at the end of the race was challenging but what a greeting when you got in- music, your name announced on the mic (never felt like such a celebrity!) a great looking medal not to mention mulled wine AND a mince pie. A nice run to end the year with. Date of review: December 31, 2013
In short: A great way to finish off the year !In full: Very well organised . I chose the 10k version for my first go at this and I'm glad I did. Plenty of hills and the final run over fields was tough going but overall it was an excellent run. The first hill sets the tone for the run and then a downhill piece, a ford and a run along by the roman walls mean that you're never in danger of getting bored! Very friendly Marshalls and local support. Well done to all involvedDate of review: December 30, 2013
In short: Lives up to the nameIn full: Definitely the toughest 10 miles I've run, but what a fantastic event, the organisation was excellent including the bus from the hotel (which I was also worried about)The marshalls were brilliant, one said I had the cleanest legs so far :-) don't think that lasted long.The medal, mulled wine, Jaffa cakes and mince pie at the end are all great too.As for the course, its well challenging, never run in bog before, thankfully I got a really good start on the roads, so did a good time overall but that last mile to the finish was really hard going, but what a sense of achievement when you cross the line.Being only 3 months from my 50th I'll definitely be back next year to see if I can win the 50-59 category!!!!!!!Date of review: December 30, 2013
In short: Race of the Year!In full: Infectiously upbeat organisers, encouraging marshalls, glorious scenery, peaceful off-road route, Roman remains and an amazing medal. I also love the way your finish is announced over the Pa, a much appreciated personal touch. Will be back for this again, my all time favourite race of the year!Date of review: December 29, 2013
In short: Great race! ..on a great day with great organization!Date of review: December 29, 2013
In short: A must-do event to end the racing year.In full: I love this event; 2nd year doing the 10 miler for me, and I'm glad I'd forgotten some of it from last time! Certain sections are seriously tough, slogging through mud and water, but to be honest, that's what makes it such great fun.Other race organisers in the area (I won't mention names) please take note. Great course, great medal, great atmosphere and great value with all that's thrown in. I was initially sceptical about having to park a mile or so away at a hotel, but I entered late in the day due to some dithering, but the shuttle bus was seamless and easy; good fun in itself!I loved the friendly and now familiar My Sporting Times faces, and I can't wait until next time. Something tells me this'll be bigger again next time.Date of review: December 29, 2013

I've been in a funny space lately. There's something in my life that sucked all of my energy away and has frankly left me feeling kinda sick most of the time. So tired and sick that I literally haven't had the energy to blog or knit much of anything. Before I tell you a little bit about the cause of all of this energy suck I wanted to address the craziness around Sock Summit.
Let me just say that I was one of the people who didn't get into any classes at Sock Summit. No classes, no events, nada. And I already bought plane tickets and booked hotels rooms. But you know what, it's ok. Portland is a beeeeeeautiful city that I have been eager to explore. If I don't learn 6 new ways to do a short-row toe, no biggy. Hopefully, I can find a way inside the market for some sock knitting goodness.
Which is why it makes me a little sad that the Yarn Harlot has to even think about writing a post like this.
Perhaps this will spur some people to create some Sock Summit side-events. Obviously the market is out there. I'll be interested to see what happens out here.
In the meantime, here's the cause of the serious lack of KnitLuck goodness.
Yep. I'm pregnant. Baby's due around New Year's.
I'm Angela.
Mom. Wife. Crafter. Succulent Gardener. Co-op Preschool Parent.
What's going on now?
I'm knitting. I've been caring for my two sons, living at my MIL's house, volunteering at our local co-op preschool and gardening. Trying to find time to write and to redefine this blog to embrace my current reality.

I have been looking for the ultimate chewy cookie recipe forever. This recipe is great although I will be adding an extra 1/2 cup of granulated sugar in the next batch.

The cookies have a great flavor, but I neglected to read the other reviewer's comments and pulled them out at 18 minutes. The bottoms were scorched and imparted the burn taste into the cookies. I let them go at about 10 and they came out more the way they should be.

These cookies are delicious! I followed the recipe as it was written, but when I baked the cookies for 18 min. they were overcooked and burnt. I threw out the first batch and reset the timer for 8 min. They were just starting to turn a very light brown when I removed them out of the oven, and let them sit for another 3 min.on the sheet. Maybe the temp. of my stove is off, but 18 min. is way too long for these delicate cookies. I used Macadamia nuts in this recipe and the cookie is soft and chewy. Not sweet. They are so reminiscent of the professional bakery type. My husband loved these and they are now his favorite.

NY1's Budd Mishkin continues his new series, "One On 1," with a profile of Caroline Hirsch, a successful businesswoman who has helped make us laugh for more than two decades.
"Let me begin by setting the record straight: I'm not funny, so don't expect any jokes."
Caroline Hirsch, the Queen of Comedy in New York, not funny? That's what she says, though a bit later in a recent speech to the New York chapter of the National Association of Women Business Owners at Tavern on the Green, she did as all great comics do - she killed.
"I took a risk with a restaurant in the South Street Seaport about 15 years ago. By the end of the day, I knew it just wasn't right," she told the crowd. "Although I believed in the comedic formula that I had established, I knew great success wasn't going to happen in a place where the smell of fish nearly knocked people out."
Caroline Hirsch is the Caroline of "Caroline's" on Broadway, perhaps the premiere comedy club in the city. It's a name that has established a cachet in New York entertainment circles over the last two decades, and is mentioned on television shows and in the New York Times crossword puzzle.
"On ÎLaw and Order,' when some guy who Jerry Orbach is interviewing is giving him a hard time, he says, ÎWhat do you think, you're doing standup at Caroline's?'" she says.
That Caroline Hirsch, who grew up as Caroline Perrone in Flatbush, Brooklyn, would be in the business of making people laugh is itself a bit humorous.
"Home was comforting - you know, Italian family, aunts uncles, grandparents," she says. "We all lived in the surrounding neighborhood."
Before her name would adorn a comedy club, Hirsch spent ten years learning lessons far away from the Boadway lights, in retail. So, is retail the perfect entree into the comedy business?
"Well, not quite comedy, but it's kind of knowing what a market can bear, like knowing a product to sell," Hirsch says.
And she's sold that product well for two decades. She's a businesswoman lauded by others, savvy enough to withstand two moves within Manhattan and a mercurial market.
Where others might have seen obstacles, Hirsch saw opportunities.
"No, I can't say as a woman there were any doors closed to me. Maybe I didn't know any better," she says. "What was the comparison? But there were a few ladies in the comedy business. There was a lady that owned the Improv New York and a woman that owned the Comedy Store in L.A., so I think that comedians were used to working with women. I don't think there was ever a problem."
From the beginning, Hirsch was more than just a businesswoman to the comics. She was part friend, coach, and advisor.
Her friend Lizz Winstead, who helped create "The Daily Show" on Comedy Central, came to New York and Caroline's in 1990.
"She's definitely the mother hen who throws the little chicks out of the nest and forces them to fly," Winstead says.
That support was particularly important to the women who, according to Hirsch, make up only about 20 percent of standup comics.
"It is a very aggressive art form to get on that stage," she says. "You have to put yourself out there, and I don't really think it's part of the feminine psyche. You have to go to the other side to do that stuff."
So how does a girl from Brooklyn end up with her name in lights on Broadway? It's the answer to almost everything in comedy - timing.
It was the early 1980's, and Hirsch was on, as she says, a sabbatical from the retail world. She joined some friends who were opening a cabaret, but she was thinking not music, but laughs.
"There was just something happening with comedy at that time," she says. "David Lettermen was just going on the air late at night, and Jay Leno and Jerry Seinfeld, and I said, ÎThese are the kind of people we should hire. There is something happening here.' And that kind of just took off."
But it took some time, and building the club was not exactly a 9-to-5 gig.
"You needed to be there late at night, I needed to be in early in the morning, and I needed to stay," she says. "I needed to meet everybody in the press, I needed the contacts, I needed to greet all the agents, all the managers. It was tough. I mean, it was really tough. And it didn't start to turn around until we brought Jay Leno in and Jerry Seinfeld and Peewee Herman. Peewee Herman was kind of like the turning corner. It was like a Felini movie every night - people were lined up outside to come in."
One of the first lineups included Jerry Seinfeld, Larry Miller, Richard Lewis, Steven Wright, Paul Reiser, Richard Belzer, Harry Anderson, Larry "Bud" Melman, Fred Willard and Yakov Smirnov. That would take you from April through June.
Caroline's eventually moved from Chelsea to the South Street Seaport, and created a weekly series on the A&E network. The thinking at the time was that the increased exposure of comics on television resulted in the closure of clubs like Catch a Rising Star and the Improv, clubs that featured five to six comics a night.
Hirsch doesn't see it that way.
"That all happened in the late 80's, and there was a recession going on, and I blame it on that," she says. "The TV exposure made a lot of these comedians. I don't think it led to the decline of comedy - it boosted comedy."
Caroline's continued to thrive, but there was no getting around the geographically undesirable South Street Seaport location.
"Downtown was just so out of the way for me, for clients to come back and forth, and I wanted to move uptown because I felt Times Square was going to happen, and it sure did," she says. "It was the early 90's, and a lot of the buildings were bankrupt, so we moved into a building that barely had a landlord. I was the only person in this building. The building was about 40 stories, so we were here by ourselves. I have a philosophy about business that you have to keep on growing to keep it fresh, and I think when I moved from the Seaport to here, it really gave it a kick start. I mean, being in the center of Times Square has been really wonderful for business."
Many of Carolines' alumni have gone on to careers in television and the movies: Jerry Seinfeld, Chris Rock, Jeanine Garafalo, Joy Behar, Dennis Leary, Brett Butler, and the host of "The Daily Show," Jon Stewart.
Some come back to the club, some don't. The faces change, but the process remains the same.
"I knew them when they were starting, when we believed in them, before other people - we had this small following and so we would come out to see them," she says.
Is there any element of sadness that she's had him or her in the club, and she might not be seeing them for quite some time?
"Well, there's a sadness that I probably won't be able to afford to pay them anymore at the club any longer," she says. "I'm happy for their success, but we move on, and every few years we just see a whole new crop of people coming up. So that's part of the process."
Hirsch long ago started using her forum to promote charities like the Ms. Foundation and the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund.
The next challenge for Caroline Hirsch is organizing the New York Comedy Festival from November 9th through the 13th, with comics performing at venues all around the city.
She says she's a great audience, and loves going into the room and hearing the same jokes again and again. And yet she's never taken the stage.
None of the many comics she's known and befriended through the years has ever dared her to get up and try it herself. If Seinfeld or someone who was part of the club early on said to her, "I'll donate whatever if you get up and do 10 minutes," would she do it?
"Yeah, I'd do it," she says. "I mean, I'd try it. I'd get some really coaching."
And there's no doubt she'd have no problem getting a little advice from any of the many comics she's helped for more than 20 years.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

Food seems to be the topic of conversation on J. Lofthouse lately! Probably due to all the free time I've had since school ended. Check out the chocolate chip cookie's I made today! Yum!
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed light-brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups (about 12 ounces) semisweet and/or milk chocolate chips
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda; set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the butter with both sugars; beat on medium speed until light and fluffy. Reduce speed to low; add the salt, vanilla, and eggs. Beat until well mixed, about 1 minute. Add flour mixture; mix until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Drop a tablespoon-size balls of dough onto a baking sheet.
- Bake until cookies are golden around the edges, but still soft in the center, 8 to 10 minutes.

(Ray Brandes reaches deep into the roots of San Diego's underground to tell the tale of Jerry Raney and the early scene's most enduring act.)
In a 1978 Village Voice editorial, music journalist Lester Bangs proclaimed: "The music business today still must be recognized as by definition an enemy, if not the most crucial enemy, of music and the people who try to perform it honestly."
By the mid-'70s, multinational corporations had taken control of most of the industry, leaving independent record labels and local music scenes to fend for themselves. Longtime music fan and San Diego expatriate Harold Gee remembers the dismal state of affairs which would ultimately lead to the punk movement: "Everything, from the top down, from radio and all other media was total crap. The problem for me was the disconnect between the music that moved me, which mostly seemed to be either in the past or on jazz records, that only got played in a few people's houses."
Throughout the '70s, however, a few local underground acts had held firmly, David-like in their resistance to the corporate Goliaths. One such band was San Diego's beloved hard-rock bad-asses Glory, who according to one critic, left "a big greasy mark (and a few stains) on Southern California's rock & roll scene."
Glory's main attractions were local guitar hero and future Beat Farmer Jerry Raney; second lead guitarist and keyboardist Jack Butler (rumored to have the longest hair in San Diego); flamboyant front man Mike Milsap; and original Iron Butterfly rhythm section Greg Willis and Jack Pinney.
For more than a decade, Glory flaunted their reputation as ne'er-do-well party boys who couldn't keep a manager for more than a few months at a time. They were regulars at the infamous Balboa Park and La Jolla Cove Love-In concerts, and their rioting fans closed down free concerts at the Starlight Bowl on a number of occasions.
They were the first band to play San Diego Stadium and the first rock-'n'-roll group to play the Belly Up Tavern. And they opened for a number of major-label acts, including ZZ Top, Canned Heat, Howlin' Wolf, Bo Diddley, The Electric Light Orchestra, Steely Dan and the James Gang.
Glory, however, never sold out. The band refused to clean up their act, preferring instead to always do things their own way. As guitarist Jerry Raney puts it, "We were just a bunch of rockers who really didn't get the big picture."
Ain't That a Shame?
The Glory story begins with the birth of Jerry Raney in 1951 in the small, dusty, desert town of El Centro in Imperial County, Calif., which shares a border with Mexico to the south and Arizona to the east. The Imperial Valley is farm country, irrigated by water that flows freely from the Colorado River. Thousands of Okies from Midwestern dustbowl farms had migrated to the area in the '30s and '40s, and by the mid-'50s, El Centro's population was just under 15,000. Hotrods cruised Main Street, blasting the rock-'n'-roll hits of the day, while Mexican migrant workers walked through town, window-shopping the closed stores on Sundays. One of Jerry's earliest memories is the sound of trucks in the town's alleys, spraying DDT to combat the insect infestations produced by local farms.
Raney's family was too poor to own a television, so while their neighbors kept company with the Kramdens and Ricardos, Fats Domino, Chuck Berry and Elvis Presley entered the Raney home in the evenings through the radio. Jerry recalls: "My teenage sisters would have little dance parties with their friends, and I would grease up my hair, try to look like Elvis and rock out with them until they tossed me out." At eight years old, he joined the Fats Domino fan club at his school and danced to 45s with a dozen teenage girls. "Rock 'n' roll ruled my world," he says.
In 1963, at 12 years of age, Raney and his family moved to El Cajon, a suburb east of San Diego that in many ways mirrored the small town, agricultural ambience of El Centro. Jerry's mother was active in the tiny Jehovah's Witness congregation in El Cajon, and before the school year began at Cajon Valley Junior High, he met Lester Bangs, son of another Kingdom Hall attendee.
Bangs, who would later gain fame as an influential music journalist, burned an indelible image into Jerry's psyche. "Lester's mom kept her house spotless until you stepped into his room," Raney remembers. "There were two-week-old bowls of breakfast cereal on the floor and crap all over the place. You couldn't even walk through it without stepping on something. He was the messiest guy I'd ever met." While Jerry listened to his rock-'n'-roll records, Lester played his Charlie Mingus, Sonny Rollins and Miles Davis on a dilapidated turntable. The two shared musical influences with each other, but it was Bang's attitude, however, which impressed Jerry the most.
"Lester wasn't into sports and hated gym class," Raney says. "Most of the time, he wouldn't participate at all. The way to make up for the lost time was to write a report on sports, and you would get a point-a-page credit. He had missed a lot of class and showed up one day with something about the size of a book entitled 'Hector the Homosexual Monkey'. He handed it in, and then he was gone."
Another kindred spirit who became fast friends with Raney was Jack Butler, whose appearance was shocking by 1963 standards. "Jack Butler was one of the first people I met in El Cajon," recalls Raney. "I remember thinking he looked like some street punk from England."
In February of the following year, the Beatles arrived in New York City, and El Cajon, like every other town in America, was changed forever. For Jerry, it was an epiphany. "The Beatles just seemed to step in and completely take over the rock-'n'-roll world," he says. "They played on the Ed Sullivan show on Sunday night, and all anyone at school could talk about the next day was them. The guys that weren't 'rock 'n' roll' didn't like them, but the girls all loved them, and had already picked the ones they were going to marry. As for my friends and me, our lives had just changed big time."
Raney began to grow out his hair, Beatles-style, and he and Butler began learning guitar together. "Butler's dad was the gym coach at Greenfield Jr. High, and couldn't stand my long hair," Jerry says. "We'd be in his room playing guitar, and if his dad came home I'd have to leave. The funny thing about that is when Jack moved out of their house, he grew his hair longer than anyone I knew!"
Raney's first guitar, a throwaway Japanese model, was traded in for a Fender Stratocaster and ultimately replaced by a Gibson ES335. In three months, Jerry had learned enough guitar to join a band. He met Phil Green, the leader of the Perennials, a dance band whose repertoire consisted of early '60s standards like "Louie, Louie"; "Money"; and "What'd I Say." "Phil was a really good player," remembers Jerry, "but pretty square." Raney learned lead guitar basics from Green, and they started the Persuaders together, but "soon enough," laughs Jerry, "I was kicked out for being 'too English.' "
Raney was now confident enough as a singer and lead guitarist to start his own band, The Jesters, with Bob Friedman on drums, Larry Tanner on bass, Steve Sherwood on sax and Chuck Surface on organ. "After about eight months, Larry quit, I dropped the sax player, talked Butler into playing bass, and Thee Dark Ages were born. We were finally cool!" Jack Butler remembers breaking up the band he was playing in at the time to join Raney's new group. "Lester and I and two other friends shared a low-rent house next door to a Hell's Angels clubhouse, where we could make lots of noise," Butler says. "We were a four piece with me on lead guitar and Lester on harmonica. Jerry walked in and said he had booked a four-hour high-school dance gig in three days and needed a bass player. Then he asked me to be the bass player — not our bass player, which was odd and a bit awkward. Even though I really did not play bass, I immediately broke up the band and went out and bought a bass."
Thee Dark Ages
At a time when most San Diego bands were still playing dance standards, Thee Dark Ages became El Cajon's answer to the British Invasion, playing songs by the Yardbirds, the Animals, the Kinks, the Young Rascals and the entire first album by Love. Their long hair and Beatle boots made them the coolest band in town. "I remember walking down the street with my guitar and having girls chase after me like a scene from 'A Hard Day's Night,' " says Jerry.
Thee Dark Ages easily stood out from the rest of the pack. "There weren't many bands with much originality as far as I could tell," Raney remembers. "There were a only few of us that had the English four- or five-piece rock style — The Elders, The Voxmen, The Drones, The Delta Blues, and a band called the Magic Mushroom. Most of the other S.D. bands that had any cool at all were the 10-piece soul bands. Essie and the Showmen, with Jack Pinney on drums, were a cool James Brown-type review, and Martha and the Esquires kicked it out pretty well."
El Cajon's 800-capacity Hi-Ho Club, which was located at the site of the present day Parkway Bowl, hired Thee Dark Ages as its house band. The Hi-Ho was one of a string of teen clubs, with others in Oceanside and Riverside, Calif., and Yuma, Ariz. According to Raney, "The clubs were mostly dingy, open rooms like you would expect an underground teen club to look like. There weren't many places to sit, not too comfortable. The one that was in El Cajon was the exception. It was an old adult club with nice booths, tables, large dance floor, and high ceilings with swings for the go-go girls. It was a classy place, and was a hugely successful club. It was cool to be the house band in the hottest place around."
Thee Dark Ages played the Hi-Ho circuit regularly throughout 1965 and 1966, transfixing teen audiences with blues-based garage punk in the vein of the Count Five and the Chocolate Watchband. Occasionally, local eccentric and unofficial member Lester Bangs would join the group onstage to play harp. Butler recalls the scene: "The audience reaction was usually pretty intense," he says. "We had long hair, and since only rock stars had long hair back then, many thought we were a touring act! We also always dressed like flashy rockers … no blue-jean Southern Rock hillbilly clothes for us. We were only in high school, and we played every Thursday, Friday and Saturday with lines around the block of kids waiting to get in!"
Towards the end of 1966, drummer and former boxer Jack Pinney was playing with bassist Greg Willis, guitarist Danny Weiss and keyboardist Doug Ingle in a group called the Palace Pages. Signed to ATCO Records, they changed their name to Iron Butterfly and moved to Los Angeles, leaving Willis and Pinney behind in San Diego where they elected to finish school. By this time Thee Dark Ages had run their course, so Raney joined forces with the ex-Pages and added Mike Berneathy and Mike Milsap to form a band called Blues Messenger. "It was the beginning of the psychedelic age," says Raney, "but we were basically a blues-rock band much like The Rolling Stones. Dan McLain and his friends used to call us the American Stones. We would just jam out sometimes with feedback and fuzz." In 1967, the short-lived Blues Messenger moved to San Francisco, without Pinney. "We didn't last long up there for some reason, but Janis Joplin and her band let us rehearse in their practice hall," Jerry recalls.
Arriving back in San Diego, Pinney offered Raney a position as lead guitar and singer in a band he had joined, the Roosters, which had released a single the previous year on A&M Records. "The band struck me as corny, but the money was great and so was the bass player, Dick Purchase," says Jerry. "We were the house band at The Cinammon Cinder and were the band for the vocal groups that toured through town. We played for The Drifters, The Coasters and The Shirelles, to name a few. We would also serve as the opening act for traveling bands like Buffalo Springfield." The La Mesa club required the band to wear uniforms and perform Paul Revere and the Raiders-style dance steps. Raney did his best to sabotage the performances, sometimes stringing together three fuzz boxes and winging his way through the hits of the day.
"The owner of the club fired me after a while," says Jerry, "and so I stole the band away. We formed 'Funky Buckwheat,' adding Jack Butler on bass, Richie King on second guitar and vocals, and Chuck Surface on Hammond organ. That band had a good run for about six months."
The Birth of Glory
Raney's next band, Glory, would ultimately become the longest-running underground music group in San Diego history. They broke up and reformed a half-a-dozen times, and the lineup changed constantly, but the core of the group comprised Jerry, Butler (who played bass and then later lead and slide guitar and keyboards) and former Palace Pages/Iron Butterfly members Pinney and Willis. Mike Milsap was added to relieve Raney of his singing duties. Among the other players who drifted in and out of the group over the next 10 years were drummer Bruce Morse, guitarist Mike Berneathy, guitarist Jeff Jones, drummer Paul Nichols, steel guitarist Steve Arenz and singer Bobby Bales.
The band's set was made up of raunchy arrangements of blues songs by the likes of Slim Harpo and Jimmy Reed; and covers of rock 'n' roll songs like Little Richard's "Keep a Knockin'," Chuck Berry's "Little Queenie," Ray Charles' "Hit the Road, Jack," Love's "She Comes in Colors," Bob Dylan's "Just Like a Woman," the Rolling Stones' "All Sold Out," Who Do You Love" and "Roadrunner" by Bo Diddley, and "You'll Never Do It Baby" and "Come See Me" by the Pretty Things.
Hitmakers drummer Joel Kmak remembers seeing the band for the first time in 1969: "I was in eighth grade, and I got a tip from my brother Jeff that Glory was playing a block party in El Cajon. I rode my bike down Main Street, following the sound until I found them. Somebody had a stage set up and there were bikers everywhere. They were so loud!
"I remember them playing "Hello Litle Schoolgirl", and the singer was creeping me out," he says. "I was a Beatles and Herman's Hermits freak, and this guy was just dripping with sexual innuendo. I was used to junior-high-school dances. These guys had long, stringy hair; bell bottoms; and were so over the top I had to get the hell out of there! They made a big impression on me."
Glory developed a loyal local following, serving as the house band for Jerry Herrera's Palace (later JJ's) nightclub on 4025 Pacific Highway, next to the old KGB studios. Harold Gee recalls hearing an unsubstantiated story about a particularly memorable gig at the Palace involving Greg Willis. "Greg's father was strict," says Harold, "and he hadn't done the dishes. They were playing The Palace, and this was at the beginning of the hippie era, and all bands were supposed to have long hair, you know, the incoming style at the time. Greg's dad would not allow long hair, so Greg wore a wig onstage, and the club was full and they were in the middle of their gig. But Greg hadn't done the dishes, and his father was pissed. His father showed up at the front of the stage, and gestured to Greg to come over, onstage, and when he got within range, father yanked off his wig, threw it on the ground, and stomped on it!"
The spotlight, however, always belonged to Jerry Raney, who became somewhat of a local celebrity known for his flashy style and ever-present guitar. "I always played the thing," he says. "I'd go to parties or picnics and bring my electric with me and just noodle away while hanging out. We would play a show with other bands and while we weren't playing I would walk around in the crowd visiting and noodling! What a weirdo!"
Harold Gee remembers Raney walking around town in a pair of shoes with intricate hand-painted flames on them. "Jerry was always so fuckin' cool, always a very stylin' guy, regardless of the era," Gee says. "He was always polite to everyone, and he had a mystique that I don't even know if he understood that he had. He did a thing with guitar, using the volume knobs to fade the sound in and out in a really cool way. This all happened back in the days before all the guitar effects pedals, before Jimi Hendrix."
Jack Butler regards Raney as his all-time favorite lead guitarist. "He has a very unique style that does not sound like anyone else," he says. "I have my own theory on that. In the early days of Glory, he had an old Telecaster that he had chopped up. It had a weak-sounding high E string, so he adapted to this flaw by playing up the B and G strings in a linear fashion, which few guitarists do. In fact, one time he broke the high E string at a gig and decided not to replace it. I believe he played five-string lead for some time, refining his unique lead style. Then when he got a more balanced-sounding guitar he went back to normal six strings, but kept playing with his own approach."
Local journalists and music fans referred to Raney as San Diego's best guitarist. It was a reputation he relished. "Playing lead guitar in those days was sort of like being a gunslinger," he says. "Guys you didn't even know would walk up to you and say, 'I hear you're fast!' My answer was always, of course, 'Yeah, I'm real fast!' " Raney would often spar with Danny Weiss, Iron Butterfly's original guitarist. "Everything was always sort of creepy about my relationship with this guy," he remembers. "It seemed he always wanted to show me up. Once we were up recording at Elektra studios in L.A. and he actually showed up at the end of our session with his amp and guitar and wanted to jam. We did some songs, but he would just get up in my face, stick his chest out, and rip out these hot licks. The guy was really good, but deep down, he knew I just outrocked him and in those days, that was hard for him to take."
According to San Diego musician Joe Piper, "Jerry's impressive chops on guitar" were a major reason for the band's popularity. "He mastered that fluid, sinuous style of seemingly effortless lead runs that was the late-'60s equivalent of shredding," says Piper. Buddy Blue, one of the founding members of the Beat Farmers, once expressed his excitement about the opportunity to play with Raney onstage. "Jerry was the top of the heap," said Blue. "He was huge."

Keep a-Knockin'
During one of Glory's hiatuses, Raney was momentarily lured by the promise of stardom by an ad in Rolling Stone that read, "Lead guitarist wanted for major recording contract.. He found himself in Hollywood, auditioning for Norman Greenbaum, whose hit "Spirit in the Sky" plagued the charts throughout 1969 and 1970. Raney easily beat out the other guitarists for the job. "I moved up to Petaluma and we practiced and he smoked pot and milked his goat," he recalls. "Huge orders came in from all the big cities, and the record sold 4 million copies. Unfortunately, smoking and milking the goat were more important to Norman, and the guy was a lot more folk music than rock 'n' roll. He would only practice 30 minutes a day. I couldn't take it and went home."
Raney returned home to rejoin Glory and make them one of San Diego's most popular bands throughout most of the decade. They were ubiquitous at local free concerts and counterculture gatherings like the Balboa Park Love-ins, which were initially held at the corner of Sixth and Laurel Streets, then moved to the Organ Pavilion and eventually to the Starlight Bowl, where they were referred to simply as the "free concerts." Joe Piper recalls the scene: "At the Bowl you'd have to walk a gauntlet of uniformed cops, and then the narcs and SCAT team (Street Crime Attack Team) would start swooping in on the crowd and start picking off members of the herd."
Raney explains that Glory's fans often clashed with the police at these events. "For some reason, it seemed that whenever Glory played the free concerts at The Starlight Bowl, there would be some sort of a riot, and bricks would be thrown through police-car windows or something, so they wouldn't happen again for a while. That took place up top in the parking lot, so it wasn't like the whole place exploded or anything; they just made us stop playing and brought in a lot of cops and made everyone go home."
The band also racked up an impressive string of concerts with major acts of the day, including Golden Hall with Delaney and Bonnie; The College in San Marcos with Eric Burdon and War; The Palace with Canned Heat, Bo Diddley, Howlin' Wolf, Tower of Power, and Elvin Bishop; JJ's with ZZ Top, Steely Dan and the Electric Light Orchestra; and Funky Quarters with Big Mama Thornton and Charlie Musselwhite.
Joel Kmak tells the story of the night Glory opened for Howlin' Wolf at JJ's. "Wolf was standing around after Glory's set, and everybody was too scared to talk to him because he was their idol. Jerry finally said, 'Screw it, I'll do it.' So Jerry went over to break the ice, and he went up to him with a box of Cracker Jack and offered him some. Wolf said, 'Sure' and with two gigantic fingers reached into the box and scooped out all of the Cracker Jack in one fell swoop. Wolf said, 'Don't nobody like me around here?' Jerry turned around and said, 'Come on guys, Wolf thinks nobody likes him!' That's all it took and everyone, band members and groupies, came over to talk to him. It went from nobody talking to him to the whole club hanging around him."
Kmak continues: "Wolf got up to play, and all of the sudden Bo Diddley, who was playing across town this same night, walks in the room." Diddley joined Howlin' Wolf onstage, and the crowd was treated to a rare collaboration. "So they're playing," says Kmak, "and then all of the sudden Howlin' Wolf gets off stage, and he goes back to the bar and orders a bunch of hot dogs! He's sitting back at the bar, eating hot dogs and talking to the cute groupies! Meanwhile, Bo Diddley's getting pissed because he's up on stage playing Howlin' Wolf's show!"
Glory played the first-ever concert at the newly built San Diego Stadium, with local band Jamul and Los Angeles group Jerome. "That was the first time they ever had a concert after a game," says Raney. "We were on a stage they had set up on second base, and the audience was still in the seats. I remember there was way too much space between the people and the bands." Butler remembers the thrill of playing before such a large crowd. "We came on in total darkness," he says. "I will never forget Jerry's guitar intro to the first song, played thru a Leslie rotating speaker and blaring off the walls, echoing like mad — one of the best sounds I've ever heard."
They were the first rock-'n'-roll band to play the Belly Up Tavern, which in those days featured only blues and jazz. "We had too many rowdy people for their liking," Raney says. The band also played after hours at The Paradise Club in National City, The El Cortez Convention Center, all of the local colleges and the infamous Whiskey in Hollywood.
Glory's sense of humor and onstage petulance were legendary. In 1972, Glory played a concert at the newly built Grossmont High School auditorium organized by ASB Vice President and Queenie keyboardist Dan McLain. Joel Kmak recalls how important the Glory show was. "When McLain got them, it was a major coup — everybody at the Kmak house talked about it like it was Woodstock," he says. "McLain idolized those guys! Everybody did."
Raney remembers, "The band ate a bunch of special brownies and alienated the kids until Dan got up and yelled at them over the mic. They then got into it enough to get us banned from the Grossmont School District." Citing this and other conflicts with Grossmont's administration and ASB, McLain and three other ASB officers resigned their positions before spring break of the 1972-73 school year. Queenie was able to wriggle themselves onto at least two bills with Glory at JJ's, and of course Raney and McLain would found the Beat Farmers more than a decade later.
At a show at the Palace in 1973, Glory joined assorted roadies and friends onstage to play a gig of capricious covers like Captain Beefheart's "Long Neck Bottles" and Frank Zappa's "Willie the Pimp," dressed in glam-rock style. The band called itself Maximum Goat, and according to Butler, who had quit the band as a bass player on New Year's Eve 1971, "I had so much fun playing this crazy gig that I promptly rejoined the band on guitar." Photographs taken that night show Butler with flames painted on his forehead, and a silver Jerry Raney with a microphone duct-taped to his shirt.
Harold Gee remembers watching Glory play at the wedding of Mike Scheels, another local musician: "So there we were, all of us hung over, and most everyone on some kind of drug, outdoors, in the country, sitting on the grass. The Glory band launches into a short, peppy tune. Everyone claps and cheers. Jerry says, 'Oh, you like that?' And they play the same tune again. People clap. They play it once again. A few people clap. They play it again. A smattering of clapping, and many people looking around to see who's clapping. They play it again. Everyone is looking around, glaring at anyone who is even thinking about clapping. About this time, Rosie, a longtime fan who is high on downers, sort of wakes up from her temporary coma, and yells out, "Yeaah! Awright!" And they play it again. Somebody goes over and speaks with Rosie. And this time, when they finish, absolute silence, with everyone looking around to make sure NO ONE claps. It was a great fuckin' day."
On the Air
Unfortunately, few recorded artifacts exist from the band. Released in 2001 by the Rockadelic label, "On the Air" is a June 1970 performance recorded for local radio station KRPI. On the album's liner notes, Jack Butler describes the scene in the studio: "I'll never forget the feeling of confused disbelief when we finished our first song and entered an embarrassing period of total silence; dead air. After music so intense, it seemed so bizarre! Radio stations were run a little differently back then. We had been given no parameters whatsoever by the DJ, we didn't even know how long to play. I don't remember if he ever came back! Maybe he thought we would play all night. Once we understood the true weirdness of the situation, we just plowed ahead until we ran out of cool songs, rarely bothering to stop and tune our guitars. In spite of some awkward moments, we all knew that whoever was tuned in got to hear some magic."
While Raney has mixed feelings about the album ("Parts of that record really rocked, but about half of it should have been canned," he says), the recording captures the band at the height of their powers, blasting through a set that recalls Led Zeppelin, the Mick Taylor-era Stones and the Jeff Beck Group. Mike Milsap's snotty, cotton-mouthed vocals complement the two Jacks' tight and subtly funky rhythm section. Make no mistake, however: the recording is a showcase for the incredible talent of Jerry Raney, whose swaggeringly tasteful guitar playing breaks through on even the weaker tracks.

Perhaps Glory's finest recorded moment was the single "High School Letter"/"Peaches," which the band recorded and released themselves in 1973. DJs would routinely call Jerry the best guitarist in San Diego when they spun the record. At the time, the band consisted of Raney on vocals and guitar; Pinney on drums; Willis on bass; Mike Berneathy (who would later be drafted) on guitar; Steve Arenz on steel guitar; and Bobby Bales on vocals. "The song 'High School Letter' actually got local airplay without being on a major label," Raney says. "We just pulled 'Speemo Records' out of the air and printed some up." Raney sings lead on "Letter," which recalls the Let It Be, rooftop-era Beatles. The song would later be reworked into "Memphis to Nixon," which appears on the Beat Farmers' last album, Manifold. The B-side of the record is Bales' song "Peaches," a rocker in the affected style of T. Rex. While this would not mark Glory's last time in the studio, nothing else was released by the band.

In 1975, Glory signed a contract with a small Los Angeles record company and relocated north, playing regularly at the Whiskey A Go Go, Starwood and Gazzari's. "We played every Wednesday night at Gazarri's for a while," says Butler, "and the band that played every Thursday was called Mammoth, but that was before they changed their name to Van Halen." When the record label folded, Glory returned to San Diego, where they had enough paying gigs to keep the band together a while longer.
By 1978, the local musical atmosphere was changing rapidly. Something new was coming, and it became clear to the band that it had run its course. " Glory didn't change its style, it just sort of broke up one day," says Raney, who joined forces once again with Greg Willis and Jack Pinney and returned to their rock-'n'-roll and rhythm-'n'-blues roots as the Shames. "We were still just straight-ahead rockers and I still played long solos," he says, "but we fit right in San Diego's New Wave scene along with DFX2, The Penetrators, The Puppies, Fingers and the like." The Shames developed into a solid club band, regularly appearing at the Spirit, the Bacchanal and My Rich Uncles, venues that have all since gone the way of the dinosaur.
Raney would later write his name in indelible ink in the margins of the rock-'n'-roll history books when he and McLain recruited Rockin' Roulettes Buddy Blue and Rolle Love to form the Beat Farmers in 1983. The Beat Farmers enjoyed a wide cult following, made national television appearances and recorded nearly a dozen albums before McLain's premature death from a heart attack in 1995. Raney currently plays in the Farmers with familiar faces Joel Kmak, Chris Sullivan and Corbin Turner.
Greg Willis has since played bass with Robin Henkel, Candye Kane, Earl Thomas, Steve Wilcox and numerous other recording acts. Jack Pinney went on to play with Buddy Blue and the Jacks and Modern Rhythm. Jack Butler played with Bratz throughout the '80s, which in 1985 changed its name to Private Domain.

Creating Personal Web Sites
By: Ashish Jain
This is a two-part article about creating a web site on the web and the tools that you need to do that.
During the last decade we have truly entered the information age. More and more people are becoming a part of the ever growing and wondrous community called the Internet. It was just over a decade ago that 'Internet' was just another new concept that a lot of people were skeptical about. Today however, it would be difficult to imagine living in the world without this amazing phenomenon. It really has enabled humans to reach new heights.
Some basic terminology that you should take a look at before proceeding further:
Web Page: A document that contains information created with the help of HTML.
Web Site: A collection of web pages on a particular subject.
HTML: Also known as Hyper Text Markup Language, this is used for the creation of web pages. Information is written in between HTML tags ( ) to instruct the web page as to how information will be displayed. You can also put images into the web page by using this language. Some other languages like JavaScript, VB script, ASP, ASP.NET etc. are also used to display dynamic content on web pages and for performing user driver events.
There are basically two main categories of web sites:
Personal web site: These include websites that are about individual human beings/people.
Business web site: Includes web sites that advertise and inform users about the products and services that a company is selling.
This article will deal with creating personal web sites and putting them on the web.
You too can make your presence felt on the web (if you have not already done so) by creating a web site.
The demand and popularity of personal web sites have increased at a great rate since the start of the web. People have found web sites a great way to express themselves.
A personal web site is your message center where you can upload information about friends and family and share them with the rest of the world. They can even act as a personal Blog (on-line journal).
Having a personal web site on the Internet has a lot of advantages:
Now comes the question of actually creating a web site. Surprisingly it is not a difficult task at all. In fact there are a lot of web sites that will provide you with all the tools you need to create your own web site and put it on the web, and you do not even have to know HTML to make them!
You do not even have to worry about buying up web space; almost all these sites will provide you with free hosting services. The only disadvantage is that they will probably put in banners (advertisements) of their sponsors on the site.
For example:
These are two of the most popular web sites where you can create your own web pages. Yahoo gives you multiple options for creating web pages. It has yahoo page wizard and yahoo page builder, which are two very powerful yet simple editors for creating pages and have a point and click interface.
These are some other sites where you can create your own web pages. You can also search on the Internet for more sites like these as well. All you need to do is register and then you can create your own web pages.
However, there is one little drawback when creating a site on these sites: you do not get your own personal domain name, so the address of your web site will be something like http://www.site_where_you_registered.com/yourname
Where 'yourname' is the name under which you registered.
However, taking everything into consideration, this is the simplest way to get on the web and start expressing yourself.

December 20, 2014
LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Louisville basketball recruit Preston Knowles will not play in Saturday's Indiana-Kentucky All-Star Classic so he can deal with a personal issue.
Knowles missed curfew, said Stan Hardin, game director for Kentucky. When asked why he missed curfew, Knowles told team officials he had some "personal problems" back home.
"We're going to let him go home and take care of those problems," Hardin said. "He could come back next week."
The Kentucky and Indiana All-Stars will meet on Saturday in Bowling Green, then meet again on June 23 in Indianapolis.
