01/22/2010 Absolute Punk review! "It seems that the last few years have seen a plethora of "punk" documentaries. From American Hardcore (based on the book of the same name) to a semester of the genre packed into Punk: Attitude, we're certainly getting a visual of the 80's and 90's punk platform of yesterday. BYO Record's 25th anniversary documentary is not one to be shelved at all. Not only is there a visual, there's an audio accompaniment that is equally as nostalgic for some." Read the whole thing here: absolutepunk.net |
01/15/2010 Verbicide Review Another great review from our friends at Verbicide! "Im going to say this right off the bat: if youre not considering buying this box set, theres going to be an emptiness in your music collection, thus making the rest of your collection worthless without it. I was so excited to get my hands on this that I had to tell somebody. So I called my friend Alvin, who I assumed knew a lot about California punk rock. But when he told me that he never heard of Youth Brigade or BYO Records, I felt like shoving his ass into a time machine and transporting him to LA 25 years earlier. I had to resort to explaining that BYO was responsible for the Rancid/NOFX split that got the gears working in his head. I can only hope to god the rest of you dont disappoint me."

04/06/2009 Let Them Know at NXNE! Check out the site!: http://www.letthemknowthemovie.com We're packing our bags and heading up to this year's NXNE Music and Film Festival, Canada's #1 showcase event, featuring the best new music and music films around. Let Them Know is stoked to be a part of it! The festivities will kick off on June 17and run through June 21. More details are coming on venue/times for the film as well as further BYO showcase details. In the meantime, wrap your head around this: the movie, which will be part of the BYO 25th Anniversary Box set will be available for purchase this fall. We'll be posting previews, trailers, and other tidbits for your hungry punk fans in the coming months. ABOUT THE MOVIE: By the time the second wave of Los Angeles punk rock began to crest in the early 1980's, most historians had already closed the book. But things were just starting to get interesting. The music was becoming increasingly harder and faster. Politics became integral to the scene. Police-on-punk violence and massive riots were de rigueur meanwhile, the concept of "D.I.Y." transformed from a necessity to a battle cry. It was at this time that the Better Youth Organization was born. Founded by Canadian brothers, Shawn and Mark Stern of the influential L.A. punk band Youth Brigade, the BYO was part political movement and part business venture. Through the BYO, Mark, Shawn and their buddies, teenagers at that time, found a way to organize punks to take positive actions to help sustain their scene and way of life. The ideals upon which the BYO was founded helped countless bands put on shows, put out records, and get their music out to the world. It allowed for the makaing of the landmark punk documentary "Another State of Mind." It also spawned BYO Records, which remains one of the oldest surviving independent punk rock labels in the world. BYO, Youth Brigade, and the Stern Family are three intertwined entities that comprise an all too often overlooked chapter in the history of punk. This movie is that chapter. Interviews with Ian MacKaye (Fugazi, Minor Threat, founder of Dischord Records), Fat Mike (NOFX, Me First & The Gimme Gimmes, founder of Fat Wreck Chords), Matt Skiba (Alkaline Trio), Gary Tovar (found of Goldenvoice Promotions), Brendan Mullen (founder of The Masque Club, author of "Lexicon Devil: The Fast Times and Short Life of Darby Crash and The Germs ", members of The Bouncing Souls, Swingin' Utters, 7 Seconds, and many others involved in the So Cal Punk Scene.

Indianapolis, IN (SportsNetwork.com) - Indiana Pacers center Andrew Bynum will not play again during the playoffs because of a knee problem.
The Pacers made the announcement Wednesday before Game 2 of their Eastern Conference semifinal series against the Washington Wizards.
Bynum has not appeared in a postseason game as he continues to battle soreness and swelling his right knee. His brief tenure with the Pacers, just two games in March, is also apparently over.
"We want to thank Andrew and our medical staff for trying to get the issues with his knee resolved," said Pacers president Larry Bird in a statement Wednesday. "We wish him the best in the future."
Bynum missed the entire 2012-13 season with Philadelphia because of knee problems and averaged 8.4 points with 5.3 rebounds in 24 games with Cleveland earlier this season before being traded to Chicago. He was dumped by the Bulls in a salary-saving move without playing a game and signed with Indianapolis on Feb. 1, but didn't appear in a game for more than a month.
However, the knee issues again flared up after just two games. He averaged 11.5 points and 9.5 rebounds in his limited action with Indiana.

Been listening to Question Time & the media obsession with 'banker's bonuses' (what ever a banker means). I think it must just be me but I don't really care what other people earn, it doesn't effect what I earn. If they don't have it I'm not going to get any of it. They will be paying tax on it & since they are already on higher rate then the exchequer gets half of it back anyway. Good luck to them I wish it was me.
Except many of them don't pay their fair share of tax by exploiting loopholes. And I think people have a right to be outraged when bosses of state-owned banks earn millions in bonuses after having their arses bailed out by the tax payer. You could lazily dismiss it as envy but the bankers don't make it any easier for themselves.
Like I said, maybe its only me, but I simple don't give a monkeys what other people earn. It doesn't effect you or me or anyone what these 'bankers' earn. If the guy does or doesn't get his £800K bonus how does it actually change anybody's life except for the recipient. In fact, the county's coffers will increase from the tax being paid which would be greater than the Corporation Tax that would have been paid instead, unless it is a loss making bank, in which case the country benefits even more..
Bonus row as RBS losses hit £2bn - Business News - Business - The Independent Reality check: how much did the banking crisis cost taxpayers? | Politics | guardian.co.uk RBS Boss Defends £800m Bonuses After £2bn Loss | Videos | News - The Wolf BBC News - RBS chief Stephen Hester to get £963,000 bonus How the taxpayer came to own Northern Rock - Telegraph RBS boss Stephen Hester admits taxpayers' money could have 'leaked' into bankers' bonuses | Mail Online Bankers' bonuses paid for by taxpayers, banking commissioner tells MPs | Business | guardian.co.uk
Considering your money helped pay for these bonuses when it could have gone on healthcare, protecting the country, helping those in need, then you should really care, unfortuanetly your apathy is pretty much the way most people act.
I think that it is more about the economic ruling class taking unfair advantage of the rest of us. Should we care about their bonuses? Yes is the resounding answer to that question.
Good on you. As long as all the money was obtained legally I don't think people should really be too concerned with what others make. The 'pay their fair share' argument is a relative one and I never like it. What one persons opinion of fair share will be much different than another. They should pay what the law requires, nothing more.
Banks are hilarious. RBS declared a 2billion pound loss, yet they will pay out close to 800mil pounds in bonuses...haha. Suck at your job, here have a million! But...but, if we don't give them big bonuses, there will be a massive brain drain, really? I'm not sure it'll be THAT big a loss. These 'geniuses' have proven themselves to be anything but.... Good luck to them though...if the system rewards you for incompetence, why should you turn that money down?
I agree with that. Not sure how the hell to justify bonuses when the company is losing big. I understand some people negotiate a good contract though.
I agree Colin, it is no more than simplistic populism. As one respondent to the question said rather well, we saved the bank so it could return to health and be commercially viable, and to be commercially viable it must operate under the rules and norms of the world it is living in.
Well, while the employees were getting huge bonuses, the companies were hemorrhaging money and sinking the economy. Then, once they were propped up by the citizens(who gained little benefit from the bailout), they got more bonuses despite not deserving them. Also, because of the short-term focus of many banks, employees rolled in money while creating the mortgage crisis, that they never had to pay for. Hell, lots of Wall Street guys don't think they owe the public anything for saving their asses. Also, executive pay rises no matter what they do because of peer-based pay. If RBS is paying their executives £20m per year, then HSBC has to pay theirs £20m to keep up. As does Northern Rock. And the bonuses often come at the expense of other workers. A CEO, and other executives, getting a $10m bonus after laying off 1000 workers is pretty ridiculous.
Who says they don't deserve them? They are in the process of saving one of the lynchpins of the British economy which continues to live to fight another day in a time of severe turbulence and instability in global economics - transitioning such a troubled bank in such circumstances I'd say is deserving of a bonus myself, people are so poor it would seem at looking at the wider picture. The problem is the people must have their scapegoats, if you listen to sentiment in the UK right now then nobody outside of the banks did any wrong which is an absolute fallacy. To fall foul of such a crisis as we have institutions across the length and width of society must fail and fail badly which is what happened but it is convenient to avoid blaming themselves and to find an easy and weakened target in whom to place their frustration.
To paraphrase Douglas Adams, that is not the point and you don't get it. Whilst I am unsure what the point is or what "it" is myself, I am certain that isn't it, that you don't get it, and will certainly not sit around and watch.
So, they deserve to make huge bonuses for screwing up the economy? Sure, while they keep their well paying jobs, big houses, etc, the average person is put under far more strain than they are. Because of dim-witted and unscrupulous management, the mortgage crisis happened. Why the hell should they get paid bonuses for that? In pursuit of short-term profits, they created junk debt, which was wrongly rated by all the ratings agencies because they're corrupt and wanted to please the banks, that they could then bet against knowing that they were likely to fail. People over-borrowed, but banks have a responsibility(to themselves at least) to say no when it is unfeasible to offer a loan with reasonable expectation of repayment. If they are working to build a more stable, prudent system, they deserve the bonuses as long as their companies are performing well and the people aren't expected to socialize their losses. More likely, they intend to just continue the high risk short game that the US and British banks seem to favor that is dependent on bubbles and busts. Until the bank repays its debts to the government, with interest, no one should receive bonuses. Once it's back on its own, it can do whatever it pleases but shouldn't expect the people to save them again.
On the contrary dear boy, I know enough not to jump on a bandwagon because everybody else is doing so. It might be fashionable to 'bash a banker' with any means that you can but it doesn't make it right, especially so on bonuses.
Wasn't he the one that tried to use United as an analogy to it? Sounded like a massive pile of bilge to me.
Brian you seem to have agreed with something Colin hasn't said. He says he doesn't care what other people get paid. I'm afraid if we go down that route we may as well say "I don't care about politics", let someone else deal with it. I would rather talk about bonuses than many things, if it doesn't interest you move on. Sadly Brian is right, we do live in a world where doing a good job as the head of a major company gives you multi million pounds of bonuses. I don't like it but we do. If we took it away, we make ourselves less attractive, and that may or may not have an effect. Personally I think its a load of shite, I think everyone knows its a load of shite, I think there are many qualified people who could do his job, and would do it for less money. But what do I know? This has nothing to do with envy, possibly it has much to do with greed. I'm not envious of a man with multimillions of pounds, I can't fecking imagine it. I don't lie awake at night dreaming of being handed 1.6 million pounds for doing a years work, I lie awake at night wishing for much simpler things. And yet I can have a rational conversation about how heads of companies shouldnt get paid that much money. The problem is that some people talk shit, others talk more shit, everyone thinks the people talking shit are intelligent, the people with money like to keep it that way, the system collapses and no one with any actual, tangible, real, proper, metaphysical intelligence will eve get listened too.
As I say, pure populism. They were part of the problem but so was everybody else, so was all of the people that the banks were lending to, so were the people who took on too much debt, in the case of the US so were the people who built too many houses, so were the public services that were run so inefficiently, so were governments running up national debts, so were regulators who were not regulating. Yet the public isn't demonising everybody, it is demonising the bankers who leant the money to other people who spent it badly but not they themselves, many of the people complaining are those who took on such lending when they couldn't afford it. The simple fact of the matter is we want to return the Royal Bank of Scotland to good health and to a solid business plan, the quickest and most assured way of doing this is to allow the bank to operate in the norms of the UK financial sector. How exactly does seeking retribution help us? If the UK taxpayer wants their money back then they should be encouraging RBS to act in a commercial manner and compete with their private competitors on an equal footing as opposed to having an arm tied behind it's back.
On the bolded part first I agree with his overriding sentiment, that this furore that has been whipped up surrounding bonuses is wrong as opposed to the particular reasons for such. I think you are doing Hester a big disservice here, RBS has nearly 150,000 employees, it has a balance sheet worth £1.5 trillion and it is in transition following a deeply flawed business plan, in a perilous time on the world stage economically. If you think that is a job that lots and lots of people are capable of handling then you ought to think again, this man is responsible for more money than the British economy turns over in a year. I have no problem whatsoever with how much people are paid, if the last Government saw fit to pay him £1.1 million then good luck to him. Personally I think a man who has the fate of one of the biggest banks in the world on his shoulders and by extension British economic vitality for a generation is worth every penny of that salary.
Don't worry, your response "didn't get" my point, which is ironic as that was my point. One side says that we're only discussing all this because of envy, that banks and big companies pay big bonuses to stay competitive, and that they are unfairly villainized. Whilst the other side says that is not the point. We don't bring the money up because we are envious or jealous. The bankers may be villainized by the media, but so are a lot of people, who aren't making millions of pounds of bonuses. The whole world might operate in that way. That is not the point. The point is, something else.
He has done a fabulous job since coming out to talk about it I'll say that for him. Since publicly saying he nearly walked away from his job because of the bonuses, and for agreeing to waive his bonus he has given voice to the people behind the word. No way, too tired, not articulate or intelligent enough these days. To have this kind of argument you need to do it every day, all the time, and I haven't been for a long while. But when you have a world-wide problem like the bonus culture, but you can't put a stop to it because of fear of them moving elsewhere (the CEO's, etc) then you have to deal with it on a globalscale. It's the exact same problem over and over again. The highly paid cannot be taxed more because they would simply move elsewhere, but no one is willing to put pressure on those other places to raise their tax levels. No one can limit bonuses because the heads of companies and "intelligent bankers" (for lack of a better term) will move elsewhere. So solve the problem elsewhere.
Who was the poster on here that said that the same amount of money would be gained by the inland revenue by having a flat tax of 5% (he guessed) across the whole of the UK pay spectrum. He got annoyed because I said it was totally immoral. Whether or not there is any truth in it, its the same point. If it was possible to solve certain problems by giving in to the super rich and letting them pay next to no tax, or letting them receive massive bonuses, then what you have done is not solve anything at all. All you have done is let certain people have everything their way and destroy the groundwork elsewhere. We can let RBS pay their staff whatever they want, and then nothing will get solved, no legislation will be written, no precedent will be set. Or we could, systemically change the way this country, and the global economy is run from the ground up.
Nothing will change. Majority of the population in the west or I should say vast majority of people who matter in the west are comfortable with current status quo and do not want to risk forgoing the living standard prevailing there. So there is no way they will allow anything radical to happen which may and has potential to affect them negatively. It is simply unsustainable though and something will have to give sooner or later.
Bull shit. The banks only form and function is to lend money, thats how they make profit, and they fecked up because they lost interest in how it was spent. They just wanted to lend more and more so it could be securitised and flogged off, the financial crises is their fault and theirs alone.
Is it not? I'll admit that calls to scrap all forms of bonuses, to aim all kind of restrictions and recriminations against the banking sector are. But your statement seems to include all the reasonable protests against bonuses as well. Both pre and post crash we have had people being paid bonuses despite missing targets or reporting poor performances (and not just as a result of market conditions). When scores of people are losing their jobs, despite being perfectly good at them in many cases, it is completely understandable that this provokes extreme frustration. You're right to say that bonuses have to reflect the market to some extent, and therefore we can't eradicate them without inflicting severe damage to our financial services economy. But I think you're doing a huge disservice to many people by writing them off as victims of 'populism' when they point out the flaws in the bonus system. Poor performance shouldn't be rewarded (as your Party agrees) and bonuses paid should be reflective of the work done. People are going to be particularly annoyed by this when it's public money paying to facilitate this.
You are stating this like it's some kind of self-evident truism. The bank was 'operating within the norms of the UK financial sector' when it all went tits up. What has changed to make you think operating within those same norms is going to be beneficial now?
This is clearly incorrect. The fact banks offered large financial incentives to their employees encouraged excessive risk taking and prioritisation of short-term results over long-term stability. This was a major factor behind the crash, and has thus effected every single one of us. You seem to be suggesting we each live in an isolated bubble, when in reality the economy is interconnected in many different ways.
Bullshit. They played a big role in it for sure, but so did Joe Public who borrowed beyond his means, the problem is he's not too keen on personal responsibility and the media love to pick on the big bad bankers so the public concentrate on blaming them entirely.
We're all shareholders in the two banks that recently announced their respective losses, our priority should be getting these banks to a state where the government can sell their shares off at a reasonable profit. I don't agree with this simplistic notion that because they are making losses they are failing, the PPI situation is a big factor in those losses and they are paying for the mistakes of the past. The whole Hester situation was absurd; here's a guy who could name his price at many companies in the financial sector and yet the public were on the verge of hounding him out for the sake of a million or so? I've never seen anything so short-sighted; just think of the billions we stand to make if this guy is left to get on with the fine job he's doing and returns RBS to the market.
The RBS is over 80% owned by the taxpayer - the same public who are currently suffering under the most brutal austerity cuts the government have ever inflicted upon the UK which means hundreds of thousands of people are losing their jobs whilst cost of living - food, gas, petrol etc - rise year on year meaning many people are in fuel poverty and having to choose between eating and heating their homes. Meanwhile, the RBS cuts many thousands of people's jobs every year forcing these people into unemployment amidst the austerity cuts and rising cost of living, continues to make losses, and pays their bankers - many of whom were responsible for the recession in the first place - millions and millions in bonuses, whilst giving nothing back to the taxpayer, making no more money, and cutting many jobs. It's completely disgusting that bankers get any bonuses. None of them should get a penny until they've paid back what they owe to the suffering public who bailed them out of the gutter when they were up shit creek.
Even the ugly tory, hug a banker, cnuts on here should be interested in what is happening with the banks. That includes what they pay. This is about tax payers and the general public at large having a vested interest in what happens with the banks. So Colin129 maybe you should care, or at least understand why others do. And those agreeing with him should do a little research or at least watch the news once in a while. Perhaps then they wouldn't come across as such say much but know little posters.
Ahh, the classic 'you disagree with me so you must be misinformed and uneducated' line, I haven't heard that one in a while. In this case pragmatism trumps idealism, the most important thing here is to allow the management to get on with the job and bring RBS back to health without interference and attempted micro management by the media, that is the only way the taxpayer will ever see a return on the funds ploughed into it in the first place.
There's a bizarre idea that every banker is somehow intertwined with the company's performance as a whole. How exactly is an investment banker to blame for PPI? If you started a job, and your employer said "if you increase sales in your sector by 50%, you will receive a bonus of £20k", then at the end of the year they said "well done for meeting your target, but as a company we've lost money, so you won't be getting your bonus", you wouldn't exactly sit there and accept it. You're contractually owed that money.

"What an amazing stay we had at the Hotel Majestic in Rome! I have never experienced better customer service. Every staff member at the hotel was exceptional! Our luggage was lost by the airlines and the concierge and reception staff made it their mission to follow up multiple times a day until it was finally found. We were provided an upgrade when we checked-in to the top floor in a very spacious room with a lovely terrace overlooking the city. The decor was lovely and breakfast on the restaurant terrace was the perfect beginning of every day! The hotel is a beautiful boutique hotel in a superb location on a very quite street. The concierge also provided excellent recommendations on restaurants, making all of our reservations and transportation needs. The bar is delightful and should not be missed. I will always stay at the Hotel Majestic anytime I am in Rome!"

A zesty chunky cheese dip with chunks of tomatoes, hot peppers, garlic, onions, lime juice, cilantro and spices. Get the chips ready, this stuff is good while it's hot!
Skinny queso, it sounds like an oxymoron, right? This is a perfect appetizer to serve for the Superbowl, I'm adding this one to the list.
I stumbled on this recipe on Slender Kitchen and curiosity got the best of me so I decided to try it out. To be honest, while I was cooking it I had my reservations. It wasn't until I scooped some up with my chips that I found myself going for more. Luckily I had a house full of people to help me dip away, and they all gave it a thumbs up.
I served it with Beanitos black bean chips, love them! You can use any light baked chip you desire. For those of you on Weight Watchers, 1/4 cup of this dip is only 3 points plus which is pretty good considering how much cheese is in here!
A few things to note: I personally thought this was best right after making, it was all cheesy and stringy. Later I microwaved the leftovers to see how it would re-heat and it was no longer stringy like it was when I first made it so this is definitely something you want to make and eat right away.
Skinny Queso Dip
Servings: 11 • Size: 1/4 cup • Old Points: 2 pts • Weight Watchers Points+: 3 pts
Calories: 92.5 • Fat: 4.5 g • Protein: 6.5 g • Carb: 7 g • Fiber: 0.7 g • Sugar: 2 g
Sodium: 143 mg (without salt)
- 1 cup skim milk
- 3 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp canola oil
- 1 cup minced onion
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 poblano pepper, diced
- 1-2 jalapeños, seeded and diced
- 1/2 cup low sodium chicken broth
- 10 oz can Rotel tomatoes with chiles, diced and drained
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- juice of 1 lime
- salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp ancho chili powder
- 1 3/4 cups shredded reduced fat sharp Cheddar, Sargento
In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup of the milk with 3 tbsp of cornstarch to create a slurry; set aside.
Heat a large saucepan on medium heat; when hot add oil. Add the onions, garlic, poblano, and jalapeno and cook until soft, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt, to taste.
Add the chicken broth and the rest of the milk. Bring to a boil and cook for about 3 minutes to reduce slightly.
Add the slurry (cornstarch mixture) to the pan and stir; simmer a minute until it bubbles and thickens, then reduce heat to low.
Add the drained tomatoes, cilantro, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and add the cheese; stir until it melts completely. Serve immediately.
Makes 2 3/4 cups.

Ex Libris The Right to Representation Bruce Green Prosecutors are both government officials and trial lawyers. As government officials, they have a duty to seek the sound, impartial development and implementation of criminal lawa duty to seek justice. As trial lawyers, they have a duty to be zealous advocates. How should they balance these obligations As both teacher and scholar, Professor Bruce Green has explored the ethics of prosecutors and other government lawyers for more than two decades.
G ideon v. Wainwright 1 makes a compelling story. Charged with breaking into a poolroom to steal coins and cigarettes, Clarence Gideon has to defend himself at trial after the judge denies his request for a lawyer. The jury finds Gideon guilty, and while serving his sentence, he handwrites a petition to the Supreme Court. His timing is propitious because the Court is poised to reconsider its earlier ruling in Betts v. Brady,2 which held that states ordinarily have no obligation to provide lawye
While government lawyers undoubtedly see their litigating role as paramount, they also have a responsibility to promote the sound development of the lawa responsibility that grows out of their status as public officials, as government lawyers, and as lawyers generally. Constitutional litigation in the Supreme Court provides an opportunity for prosecutors to contribute to the sound development of the law. Attorneys general and, less frequently, district attorneys take advantage of the opportunity
Ex Libris B. Practical Concerns Attorneys general and district attorneys may decline to take defendants side in criminal cases for pragmatic, strategic, or political reasons, some of which may reflect societal, political, philosophical, and technological changes in the 50 years since Gideon. For example, they may have a pragmatic concern that a new constitutional right may later expand excessively or precipitate costly litigation regarding its scope.

I n spring 2009, Catherine Powell stood outside State Department Director of Public Policy AnneMarie Slaughters office, expecting to meet with Slaughter for a casual brainstorming session. Then a professor at Fordham Law, Powell did not anticipate that, soon after she walked through the door, Slaughterthe first woman to head Policy Planningwould offer her a job.
Human Rights and the State Department As Powell was settling into her new position, the State Department was reinventing itself. President Obama and Secretary Clinton had made plans to transform the United States role in worldwide affairs following the Bush administrations sometimesstrained relationship with the United Nations and other international groups. Their goal, Powell says, was to restore U.S. leadership in the arena of global human rights and reengage with the international community.

His academic journey has reflected this philosophy, leading him from product development, to founding an arts business, then to the influential New York fashion industry, an
Running Crosby Street Gallery convinced Sanchez to attend law school. After curating an exhibition on fashion law and copyright protection and attending classes offered by the Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts, Sanchez found that he was dedicating much of his time to researching legal matters. He was encouraged to attend law school and ultimately chose to enroll at Fordham Law, whose approach to learning, Sanchez says, matches his own. I chose Fordham because of its reputation for being a school wh
Fordham Features History in the Making Professor Jed Shugerman, an expert in legal history, joins the Fordham Law faculty. On the day Jed Shugerman started as a student at law school, he predicted that Torts would be the least relevant class he would take. Very early on, however, he realized he was mistaken The cases are sometimes tragic, sometimes funny, but they always raise vital questions about right and wrong, about the social contract, and about the purposes of law generally. Shugerman, n
that lawyering matters. History is full of examples of how litigation strategy and hard work produced surprising, socially transformative results, he says. Shugerman is inexorably drawn to historical questions of the law What are the origins of this strange American practice Why do we do things this way Why did this doctrine or that legal institution emerge, and not another set of principles or institutions How have Americans understood justice over time These questions contribute to Shugermans

About Flower Essences
Pets are very responsive to the energetic healing properties of Flower Essences. The energetic bouquets from Pet Essences are both dynamic and gentle in their transformational abilities. By using the appropriate Flower Essences to balance the emotional attitudes of your dog or cat, subtle changes occur that bring renewed energy forward and short circuit the path to illness.
Pets have emotions, attitudes and personalities just like humans. To care for an animal, it is helpful to observe the animal and learn how to distinguish between normal regular behavior and behavior that is unusual and out of balance. Pets often reflect the emotions of the people close to them and the environment in which they live. Emotions such as fear or anxiety or worry or depression can lead to disease because they deplete the physical body of its natural vitality, thereby compromising the immune system's ability to function properly. By using the appropriate Flower Essences to balance emotional attitudes, subtle changes occur that bring renewed energy forward and short circuit the path to illness.
We have organized the Pet Essences formulas so that it is easy to select the appropriate remedy from our Conditions categories. Don't worry about choosing an inappropriate essence. They will not harm animals, or people, as they are self correcting - meaning that there are no unwanted side effects. Sometimes there are responses that may seem surprising but that is because each creature has a personal way of making changes in their own being. Flower essences are easy to use and are very economical.
Available in 1 0z liquid.
Review Rating: 5
Country of Origin: USA
Manufacturer: Pet Essences
Shipping Weight: 0.17
Active Ingredients - Arnica, Impatiens, Sturt Desert Rose, Tall Mulla Mulla, and other natural flowers
Inactive Ingredients - Brandy (used as a preservative)
Suggested Use
Pet Essences can be rubbed on the skin, lips, ears, or paws, put directly in the mouth, added to drinking water, put in food, put in bath water, or put into a mister bottle or treatment bottle.
Pet Essences can be used directly from the bottle or diluted. If you choose to dilute them with water, you will dilute the brandy but not the remedy flower essences. This way your pet will not taste or ingest unnecessary brandy.
To make a diluted treatment bottle, take a clean, empty 1 oz bottle and add 7 drops from the Pet Essences Bottle, fill with water, and shake well. You can then give doses directly from this bottle. You can also add 7 drops of the Pet Essences into a bowl of drinking water.
Please do not combine the Pet Essences formulas. Combining formulas can be overwhelming for your pet. You can use more than two formulas in one day by waiting 2 minutes between doses. Two exceptions to combining formulas are Pain Relief and Emotional Stability. These two formulas may be combined with any other formula in a treatment bottle or a bowl of water. To do this, add 7 drops from each formula into a treatment bottle, fill with water, and shake well.
It is suggested to give Pet Essences 4 times a day. The more frequently you give a dose the more often the messages carried by the essences will reach the animal you are helping. Repeating frequent doses is more effective than a single dose or dosing 2 times a day. If you are faced with an emergency situation, giving dosages more frequently is recommended. A dose can be given every few seconds, then every few minutes until the animal stabilizes.

Great Stuff..really!

Comments about Pet Essences Pain Relief:
I was skeptical about using natural products for pain for my senior cat because she has so many ailments that makes her in pain to walk. I used the item as described and put it on her, in her food and even in her water! She had no complaints and within days I could see her moving with ease! She suffers from hip joint problems as well as arthritis so her movement is important to her and this product gave her that back again!

By straycatbeacon
from Churubusco, IN
I use it for my 12 yr old cat with arthritis and mouth pain. She perked up after I started using it and rushes out to greet me instead of slowly creeping out of bed. Shes also playful again!

The Best I have found in many years.
By The Cat Foster Dad
from Pulesville, MD
This is the best I have used in many years for my own cats and for foster cats I have. For Marky, who is featured in the book 'Cats Believe in Santa", and is now 17 years old, he has been given a comfortable senior life. A few drops in his food each day and he is pain free. Good product and it is safe.

Is my cat in pain?
By Animals love Granny
from Ball Ground, GA
My cat is 13 years old. He broke his leg 3 times about 8 years ago. He seemed to limp a little going upstairs. I thought he might have some pain like arthritis from the old injury. (Granny has it, too.) The Pain Relief seems to have given him some relief. He's more relaxed and sleeps like a log. Sometimes we have to put ourselves in our pet's places. Thanks.

After my dog was through with his prescribed pain medication, he still seemed to be uncomfortable. This product helped him rest easier and be comfortable. I was happy to have it.
Calming Influence
By Jan

Good produce
By Crazy Cat Lady
from Antigo, WI
I use this product on the cats and the dogs. I can use direct on the cut, or scrape. Or it can go into their water dish too.Depends on your needs.Been using this product on a sore on my dogs tail. When I use it, he seems to leave the sore alone, and not chew and lick it. Good product will buy again.

Wonderful Product
By Linda
from Levittown, PA
I have a female cat that seems to injure herself. Two years ago, she fell and broke her pelvis. Just recently, she fell and injured her "tailbone". Having tried other products from this website, I ordered this Pain Relief. I don't like giving the prescribed medications to my cats often because they can damage the internal organs and it takes a cat longer to get rid of all this medication. If I thought for one second, she was seriously injured or it was life threatening, I would have taken her to the vet, but she was walking - just a little low on the rear end and had her tail down. I received the medication very quickly and gave it to her - very easy to administer and it helped her immensely. Two days later, she was up and around and her old self. This is a great help for those injuries that are not severe.
