Revenge is a Funny Thing.
|It's bolder. Riskier. The most dazzling heist yet. George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon and more reteam with director Steven Soderbergh for a split-second caper that stacks the deck with wit, style and cool. Danny Ocean again runs the game, so no rough stuff. No one gets hurt. Except for double-crossing Vegas kingpin Willy Bank (Al Pacino). Ocean's crew will hit him where it hurts: in his wallet. On opening night of Bank's posh new casino tower The Bank, every turn of a card and roll of the dice will come up a winner for bettors. And they'll hit him in his pride, making sure the tower doesn't receive a coveted Five Diamond Award. That's just the start of the flimflams. The boys are out to break The Bank. Place your bets!
"It's so money! It's so fun! David Edelstein, New York Magazine
"The pleasure here, as before, comes from watching skilled professionals team up for a job well done. Keith Phipps, The Onion A.V. Club
"An over-the-top celebrity cartoon of cool and a tilt-a-whirl of fun. Mark Bell, Film Threat
"The star wattage is immense but the stars themselves are refreshingly self-deprecating, almost satirically so. Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor
"Two Thumbs Up. Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper
"...continues the breezy good times of the first two series entries without missing a beat. Todd McCarthy, Variety
Editor's NoteThe third installment of Steven Soderbergh's slick, star-studded heist series just might be the best, as Danny Ocean (George Clooney) and company pull off another elaborate caper, this time in the name of revenge. Reuben Tishkoff (Elliott Gould), one of Ocean's original eleven, lies nearly comatose after a myocardial infarction brought on by shock. His dreams of regaining his former glory on the Vegas strip have been dashed by the dastardly Willie Bank (Al Pacino), with whom Reuben foolishly went into business to build the biggest and flashiest casino the the world has ever seen. Bank took Reuben for all he was worth, and now, the famously loyal thirteen won't rest until Bank has been brought down. They execute this noble cause through complex, daring, and brilliant machinations that make the most of everyone's talents, including Yen's (Shaobo Qin) acrobatics, Linus's (Matt Damon) acting abilities, and Basher's (Don Cheadle) heavy machinery. Virgil and Turk Malloy (Casey Affleck and Scott Caan) get a few hilarious moments as they brew up a revolution in a Mexican plastics plant, while Rusty (Brad Pitt) and Danny coolly preside over the action like omniscient, infallible deities, always about three steps ahead of the game. The villain's downfall is utterly satisfying due to the pure capitalist evil channelled by Pacino, while Ellen Barkin vamps it up as Bank's "cougar" of an assistant. The camaraderie of the thirteen lends heart to these cool criminals, best captured by the sappy letters Basher sends Reuben, which ultimately bring him back to life. Vegas is effectively captured through seamless editing and beautiful photography, with the trappings of uber-wealth making the fantasy even more fantastical.

Ocean's Thirteen - DVD Review
By: Rafe Telsch Cinema Blend DVD Reviews
Published on: 11/17/2007 5:48 PM
|If Ocean's Thirteen proves anything it's that revenge is more entertaining than self-preservation. It also proves just how dismal a sequel Ocean's Twelve was, taking the characters away from their home in Vegas and tossing them around the world. The third movie in the franchise sees the troupe return to Vegas, and a return to the antics and banter that made Ocean's Eleven so much fun. Truly, this is the sequel the first film deserved. ...read the full review

TO get on in science, you have to be very focused on the here and now. Experiments work only when they are given much painstaking care and attention, and even when they do, it is rare that they add more than a small brick or two to the slowly growing tower of knowledge. But are scientists really so caught up in the next small step that they forget the big questions that underpin their work? Not at all, if an unusual site on the Web is anything to judge by.
A hundred or so well-known scientists (plus a few engineers, high-tech entrepreneurs and even some science journalists) were e-mailed with the simplest of all questions: "What questions are you asking yourself?" The resulting answersor rather questionsare to be found at the World Question Center.
Surprisingly, it turns out that only a few scientists are totally taken up with the daily ...

The Making of Grand Theft Auto Vice City
By AleeN634 1 Comments
As part of the 10 year anniversary of Vice City, Edge has an interview with Sam Houser about the making of Vice City.
Vice City currently remains my favorite Grand Theft Auto game. So far nothing has matches the mix of open world, scenario, characters, music and gameplay. To see so many tweaks just 1 year after GTA 3 was amazing. I've got to play it again this holiday.

If you know the map like you clearly do, when you play trench on speed, the game is usually over in 5 to 6 rounds but you still have to play 20 rounds, most people deadbeat which is against the rules so if all players agree in a game the button is pressed by all and ends game. Hardly rocket scienceagentcom wrote:hmsps wrote:I think this is a cracking idea especially in 1 v 1 speed games on maps like das schloss when it is obvious the game is won or lost, it just saves time
In 1v1 on Das Schloss, there are 3 pretty easy ways to make the game end quickly
1. If round limits are short enough, DB
2. Make clear to your opponent that you are conceding by either keeping your stack back on your paratroopers or moving large stacks into access point where they will be killed by the killer neutral there.
3. (My favorite) use your stacks to help knock down militarilager and Kom Wilhelm while opponent goes for the other 2 objectives.

Unroll.me's landing page.
The UpTake: Josh Rosenwald says his startup, Unroll.me, managed to integrate social tools into its e-mail newsletter aggregation tool, and user growth took off as a result.
It took two years and a few redesigns for Unroll.me, a startup email newsletter management service, to reach 150,000 users. But something started to click around December, and now users have more than tripled since then.
Unroll.me claims 700,000 users, a first-quarter surge that co-founder and CEO Josh Rosenwald attributes to new social sharing features and a successful New Year's resolutions-themed marketing campaign. In fact, the company says their service has stopped more than 1.5 billion emails from hitting inboxes of their customers.
For much of 2013, the gang at Unroll.me tried integrating different social sharing tools into its platform without much success. But the right mix came together late last year, a long-awaited victory for a company that had already made two major changes to its product since launching.
For more news from the New York Business Journal, check out Ben Fischer's work.
"It was a gamble," Rosenwald told me. "Because anytime you take significant development time and put it toward any product and any piece of software as a startup, you take resources away from something else. But we're pretty pleased it worked out."
Unroll.me scours your email account for every regular subscription newsletter you've signed up for — retail, neighborhood associations, sports teams, professional groups, political campaigns, etc. — and generates a single digest version giving you the headlines. (It helps you remove those you want to get rid of altogether.)
The idea has considerable curb appeal, but too many users signed up and stopped engaging, or didn't share their positive experiences with friends. As a free product, that word-of-mouth is crucial to adding users and it wasn't working, Rosenwald said. The latest relaunch appears to have fixed that.

Ginger Spice Decoction
Yeah... because it seemed too good to be true. A friend shared the recipe with me and RAVED about it for half an hour, expounding on the benefits and how it had helped her family...
I've heard lots of stories like this one. Haven't you? I politely tucked the recipe in my purse and eventually put it somewhere on my desk where it sat for months.
Then there was that day during the bleak part of winter, early in January when I was feeling blah, cold to the bone, tired, and my digestive system was irritated beyond belief from all the holiday foods I had enjoyed for their "momentary pleasures". What could it hurt to try her brew? After all, it was just normal kitchen stuff I had on hand.
I made a batch and took my first sip...
Hmmm... it burned a bit going down. My esophagus was definitely inflamed. Sigh...
The second sip was a bit better and soon I had finished the cup of "tea". And it tasted really pretty good. I admit... I was surprised. Especially since I don't like ginger tea all that much. Love ginger ale; hate ginger tea. Go figure.
Anyway, by mid afternoon, I kind of wanted more, so I had a second cup. By this time, I'm thinking to myself "This stuff is pretty good!". But the real surprise came that night.
You see, I have had trouble swallowing for six years... any time I lay down or bend over. Hiatal hernia. Confirmed with an endoscopy. No doubt about it. The doctor's solution? Prescription and antacids for the rest of my life. NOT what I wanted to hear. And after reading books on the subject, I wasn't sure I WANTED to take them for an extended period of time. (Please know I'm well aware of the seriousness of acid on the esophagus... Barrett's Disease, cancer. Definitely bad stuff.)
I do NOT know how to explain this, but that night, when I laid down, I actually was able to swallow for the first time in YEARS! I tried not to get too excited. Just a fluke I thought. But three days later, I'm running "tests" on myself... bend over, stand up, swallow. I can do it!! Now bend over, swallow, THEN stand up... I can still do it!! I literally broke down and cried.
I honestly can not fully explain this, but in researching each of the ingredients, I found that they ALL help with digestive issues (besides other things). Now I realize I still have a Hiatal Hernia and it hasn't gone away, but I'm assuming the decoction has benefited me by allowing my gut to process food quicker and more thoroughly. But it does even more.
The bay leaves, cinnamon, and cloves also have tannins that give it astringent qualities which tighten, heal, and have a drying effect and thus reduce irritation and inflammation (like in my esophagus). Typically with acid reflux you want to AVOID tannins, but for some reason, these spices seem to be reducing some of the inflammation without causing the irritation that I've experienced from other non-conventional remedies. And it also seems to work a lot better than the prescriptions, which only kept it from being totally out of control.
Even though I had been tested for H. Pylori, twice... the tests were always negative. Since this decoction seems to have worked on my system so well, I'm guessing I must have been borderline for the bacteria. Apparently the cinnamon acts against H. Pylori and helps counter stomach ulcers that result from the bacteria.
You may be thinking, "I don't have acid reflux, so this won't benefit me. Well, the gal that shared it with me didn't have an acid reflux problem either. It benefited her in other ways. After a while, her skin cleared up and she lost weight. Lots of weight! And she didn't change anything else in her diet (according to her testimony). She also felt it had helped her husband during his recovery from cancer and the treatment he underwent.
If you do your own research, you'll find that these spices may help with various aliments such as colds, flu, infection, coughs, ulcers, nausea, indigestion, gas, bloating, gastroenteritis, diarrhea, infection, IBS, toothaches (oh, it helped me with that, too), poor circulation, and inflammation. And I suspect it does more that we don't realize. Besides... this just tastes good and all the ingredients are safe to consume. (If you have any health issues, take the recipe to your doctor and ask if he/she feels it would be a problem for you to consume the decoction.)
So enough background on it. Let's talk about the recipe!
Ginger Spice Decoction
40 whole cloves
20 bay leaves (MUST be Laurus nobilis - any others are not considered safe to consume)
2 cinnamon sticks (about 3-4 inches long each)
1 ginger root (about 4-5 inches long - longer if thin, shorter if fat)
4-5 quarts water
Just a word about the ginger. I mentioned it should be about 4 inches long. This is not an EXACT recipe. If you find the ginger is too strong, cut back. I was using about twice this amount and it may have been too much for my intestines. So I cut back on the amount I put in the pot. Once I tried a 3rd stick of cinnamon and it overwhelmed the drink with cinnamon flavor to the point of being unappealing, so I would stick to just the two sticks.
Also, make sure you use fresh ginger that is in good condition.
Not moldy like in the photo below. I buy just a little at a time so it doesn't go bad on me.
Place all ingredients along with the water in a crock pot that doesn't get too hot. I found the Rival crock pots cook higher on the "low" setting as opposed to the Hamilton Beach, which I picked up for around $20 and dedicated to just making this decoction and other herbal brews. I can also strain the ingredients and keep them on warm instead of cooking constantly.
Let the brew cook on low for several hours. I typically make it before I go to bed and it's ready the next morning, but occasionally I'll make a batch in the morning and it's ready by late afternoon or early evening.
Leave the ingredients in the pot to continue brewing and take out what you plan to drink. Add the same amount of water BACK into the pot so that it replenishes the liquid to the original level. Continue this for a couple of days and then strain and discard the ingredients, leaving just the liquid. At this point, I tend to leave it on warm and use as needed, but I don't continue to add water into the pot since it would dilute it.
The decoction may be taken hot or cold, but being that it's winter right now, I tend to drink it hot along with a bit of honey. I also like to dilute it further with some hot water, however, my husband drinks it straight from the crock pot. He LOVES ginger and likes it really strong. I figure this summer, we'll try adding some ice to chill it. Might be good on a hot day while gardening.
As you can see from my photo below, I keep this brewing on top of my mini-refrigerator so that it's out of the way. A ladle and honey makes it easy to grab a cup throughout the day.
Because I'm making this every few days, I purchased the ingredients in bulk from Azure Standard. It cost me about $25 for all three ingredients (minus the ginger root) and it makes a ton of decoction! I've lost count of how many pots I've already made. You could also find the ingredients through any reputable bulk herb supplier such as Mountain Rose Herbs or Bulk Herb Store.
I can't tell you how excited I've been over using herbs and other plants. I'm truly amazed at what I'm learning and how well they work. It encourages me to try even more!
I'd love to hear what decoctions you've experimented with, how it has helped you, and any recipes! Feel free to include a link to your recipe as well.

That sounds rather yummy! I need to buy some fresh ginger. That is such a blessing that it has helped with your health problems!ReplyDelete
That is amazing!! I love hearing about herbal remedies that work...and better than modern medicine! Thank you for sharing this recipe...:)ReplyDelete
Im gonna try this. Sounds iffy (taste wise) but what the heck!?ReplyDelete
Most of the time, acid reflux is caused by too much stomach acid and you need HCL to help digest your food. I struggled with esophogitus for a long time until I discovered HCL. I wrote a post about it here if you are interested ~ReplyDelete
I do want to make your tea. It sounds wonderful and anything that helps with digestion and the gut is a very good thing!Replies
It's almost as often caused by too little stomach acid. The food is left in the stomach too long and it starts to ferment, which can cause reflux. It's a difficult situation for the body to solve by itself.Delete
This sounds delicious, and I've been having stomachaches and feeling generally blech lately. I just happen to have a few branches of fresh bay leaves and a knob of ginger that needs to be used in the next day or so, so I went right over to my crock pot and put this together after reading this post. I'm looking forward to waking up to this tomorrow :)ReplyDelete
That's awesome and it sounds wonderful! Do you think it would be safe for pregnant women to consume ??ReplyDeleteReplies
I would research the ingredients individually to determine if they're safe for pregnancy. Some
Apart from loving the idea of having this sitting there, warm and ready for whenever I want some, I also love ginger! Ginger beer, ginger tea, the hotter the better! Can't wait to try this! A question..are the bay leafs that we buy for soup etc. the same as these? Not sure if I should be looking for something different or if what I've got is the right kind. Thanks!ReplyDeleteReplies
Yes, they should be the same as the others are not considered "edible".Delete

So glad to hear this is helping you, Amy!! How wonderful. We have a bay leaf tree that I use in soups and casseroles, is this the same type of bay leaf do you think?ReplyDelete
Yes. If you plan to "harvest your own", you will need to research edible v. non-edible varieties.Delete
Yes, like Sue I need to know if these are the bay leaves you buy at the store in the spice section?ReplyDeleteReplies
Yes... for more info, please see comments above.Delete
Wow! We are definately going to try this ! Thank you for sharing! Blessings! GailReplyDelete
This sounds really good, (and probably smells wonderful!) especially since having baby #5 in August I'm still not feeling back to normal, and hey, if it helps with some weight loss... Does anybody know if it would be safe for a nursing mom, or can someone point me in the right direction to look it up? Thanks for sharing, hopefully I'll be able to use this!ReplyDeleteReplies
Sounds really interesting. The benefits of this outweigh the taste I am sure...I love ginger too. I am definitely going to think about trying this one. Thanks for all the great information Amy. It is so appreciated. Blessings!ReplyDelete
Hi Amy, I've never visited your blog before... not even quite sure how I found it today (in the sea of blogs), but am so glad that I did. I'm new to using herbs and plants for "medicinal" purposes and discovered a tip to extend the life of ginger. Freeze it! According to the original poster (can't remember who it was) it will last for months. Just grate (or chop) the amount needed for your recipe. I've tried it and it works!! In fact, my ginger is about 4 months old and still looks good! Just thought I'd share.ReplyDelete
Have a wonderful day!!!
Welcome, Gammy Tammy! Thanks for a great tip!!!Delete
GORGEOUS blog! Gammy/Tammy
I look forward to trying this. I'm all for using herbs, spices etc. for health.ReplyDelete
This sounds heavenly. I bet it makes your whole house smell wonderful. I keep fresh ginger in the freezer, and then if I use it in a recipe, I just grate it into the soup or sauce I'm making. Just a little tip back. I LOVE your blog, and I am a city girl that will be moving to the country in a few months…with my three hens…Can't wait.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks, Karen! So glad you like the blog. :-) So nice to hear you'll be getting your hens and moving to the country. Many blessings on your new adventure!Delete
This is a great recipie and I now have it stored.ReplyDelete
regarding your medical condition though. I would suggest that perhaps you never had a haitial hernia in the first place, I think their diagnosis was wrong. That you did have a bacterial invasion I think is right. There are many bacteria that can invade the stomach aside from H-pylori in my opinion. Its just that that is the only one they can find. What you did have was low stomach acid. These herbs will increse stomach acid, which will reduce bacteria and hence reduce pressure on your esophegeal sphincter. If you do actually have a hernia the reduction of pressure though improved digestive ability will alleviate the symptoms this type of hernia can produce. Many people are born with hiatial hernias but do not suffer until their stomach becomes sick and stops producing sufficient acid. Hiatial hernia can also start causing symptoms due either to weight gain or significant weight loss.Replies
Arrow Durfee... thanks for an excellent comment! I'm really hoping you're right on this issue. I really want to resolve the problem once and for all and I'm definitely hoping they got the diagnosis wrong.Delete
Thanks for the recipe. Can't wait to try it. It just sounds good for you. I've been reading how good cinnamon is for you. The Bulk Herb store has a great cinnamon tea (Dr. Cinnamon) I've been drinking. I'll add this one to my teas that I'm using to replace (part of my) coffee.ReplyDelete
I'm so happy you posted this - can't wait to try it!ReplyDelete
I am going to print this off for my husband to look at. He had stage 4 head and neck cancer surgery (10 hours) Jan 2006 and has trouble swallowing. They will do swallow study again on May 2nd. He also has Barrets Esophagus, H Hernia and his teeth are falling out from the radiation. This totally stinks and I am to the point of trying anything to help him. Also has thrush every time we turn around. Your timing couldn't have been better.ReplyDelete
Thank you so much!
I am so sorry to hear that he is going through this! If you have any concerns, run the recipe by his doctor first. And do let me know if it helps! I am really curious if it will help alleviate some of his complications from the cancer and treatments as well as the Thrush.
Wishing you both the best and hoping for an amazing recovery!
WOW AMY! I am so happy for you! Going to save this one for sure!!ReplyDelete
This sounds wonderful! Now if only I could figure out a way to make a super concentrate to take when we travel abroad in a couple of weeks.... one way or the other I'll definitely be making it once we get back from France.ReplyDeleteReplies
Have a wonderful trip!!!Delete
I only found one kind of bay leaves at ALL on Azure-- the Oregon Spice Bay Leaves brand. They don't specify what type of Bay they are, but I'm guessing that if you got your ingredients from Azure and they only have one type of bay, then that type is fine? I've always removed bay leaves from soup before consuming, so I'm not sure if you mean safe to ingest or simply safe to cook with but not ingest when you say safe to consume. :-) Thanks!ReplyDeleteReplies
Yes... that's the same bay leaves I used. If you buy them from a food source, it's fine. if you harvest you're own bay leaves, then you need to do some research as to which are edible (meaning... can be used in foods).Delete

I love ginger tea and drink it all year. I just learned from a friend of mine that ginger is a "warming root" and if it is used in warmer weather will create too much sweating. Be careful.ReplyDelete
Thanks for the information on warming root. I'll keep that in mind for the summer. - AmyReplyDelete

Did you mean 4-5 qts water or cups? That seems like a lot of water, I don"t think it will all fit in my crock pot. Thank you.ReplyDeleteReplies
My crock pot is a 4 quart and I just fill it as full as possible. So, yes... QUARTS, not cups.Delete
I am so excited to find this. I have the same thing as you and do rely on meds just to feel okay. I admit I will be very nervous to try this as normally these ingredients irritate me so badly. Do you still take your meds when you try this? Do I need to skip them when I start. Also just making sure, you leave the crockpot on for days? Can you store some in fridge once you make it and then drink it? Thanks so much.ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Elaine, I'm sorry anyone has this issue. It's not fun. Guess there are worse thing to have, but it's that lingering feeling of not knowing how bad the esophagus is on a day-to-day basis. Unfortunately, I cannot advise you as to taking your medication or not. What I have done may not be the best protocol for another person. However, I think you'll have a good indication after a couple of days if the tea is making things worse or better. And yes, I leave the crockpot on for a couple of days. You can also make it and store it in the refrigerator; at least I assume so. I've not tried it yet, but I have turned off the crock pot and let it sit for a few hours and then drank some. I just heat up some water to dilute it and it's warm again.Delete
Oh Amy, I'm SO HAPPY for you that you have found something that has brought such incredible relief to you!! I hope this recipe continues to bring your throat relief. Thank you for sharing it with all of us. I'll be sure to write it down :)ReplyDelete
This is heating on the stove right now (on top of a flame tamer) as my crockpot is in use and I didn't want to wait. My home smells amazing! can't wait to drink it tomorrow! Blessings, LauraReplyDelete
Hi Amy! have been following you for awhile and love what your teaching us! I have just finished my 2nd crock pot full of the ginger spice. And Love It!!!! It took a little getting use to. I have arthritis and it is really helping! I have also lost 3 lbs. Not really trying (but I need to) and its working! Thanks for the recipe!!ReplyDelete
Sue G.
I've made this recipe twice and mine is somewhat weak. Do I need to reduce the 4 - 5 quarts of water? I drank quite a few cups and put it in the fridge. Then the next day I brought it out, heated it up and it had more flavor without so much water. Are you sure the 4 - 5 quarts of water is correct? Thank you.ReplyDeleteReplies
Ava Louise, I'll double check when I make the next batch, but I'm pretty sure it's 4-5 quarts. It does get stronger the longer it let it simmer in the crock pot.Delete
I really like this brew. It's not the taste as much as it is the other stuff it seems to do for you. I notice that I don't have the evening sweet / carb craving when I drink this tea and seems like I've lost a few pounds. I was also having some digestive issues that it seems to have taken care of. I made it again and used a lot less water. It may just be personal preference for how strong a person likes their tea / coffee. Thanks again for the recipe.Delete
How often do you have this throughout the day? I like my water to only have a passing acquaintance with tea, so I've been diluting one cup of the tea out of the crock-pot with one cup of water/ice. I have one serving after breakfast, and one after dinner, but have been adding one at lunch. I just don't want to unknowingly over do it. Thanks!ReplyDeleteReplies
Usually a couple of cups of diluted per day. I do not know what would be "too much"... my friend drinks a bit more than I do, but everyone is different, too. Just be sure to watch and note how you feel. If you have any concerns, take a break for a few days. I do this periodically just to give my body a rest.Delete
I want to sincerely thank you for posting this recipe. I've already made it a few times and my husband now calls it "magic juice".ReplyDelete
He suffers from acid reflux on a regular basis and this has made a huge difference. He's been telling his coworkers about it too. His favourite way to enjoy it is with honey and a little milk, it's a bit like chai tea.
I also have been drinking it in small amounts to help with morning sickness :)
Thank you again!
Hi Amy!! Coming back to let you know that I have made about 6 crock pots full of tea. I get about 2 days out of it. I drink it all day long. My body does feel different from drinking this. I did lose 3 three pounds but no more. Had stopped drinking for 4 days(business trip) and I did feel a difference. Back to it I went. Have also passed on the recipe to a few friends who now are believers too!!ReplyDelete
A side note...I'm getting over a very bad head cold. This tea really helps with a sore throat.
Thanks again!!!
Sue G.
Hi Amy, just read this and it sounds amazing, I'm super keen to try it. Only thing is, I don't actually own a crockpot (yet - my partner is not entirely convinced we need one). So is there another way to make this, like on a stove top? Thanks :)ReplyDeleteReplies
Yes, you could do this on the stove top... most decoctions are gently boiled for about 20 minutes and then strained. However, if I were going to make this on the stove top, I would use a simmer plate (since I have a gas stove top) and keep the burner on the lowest setting and just leave it. I do this when I make chicken broth minus the simmer plate.Delete
I bet it made your house smell wonderful! :) I'm excited to give this a try in the future!ReplyDelete
Just made this but used cardamom instead of bay leaves ... didn't have bay leaves. Very chai like, and I FINALLY warmed up after the first "cold" spell of the year. And the health benefits? I don't EVEN think about how great it is for me! :-) Nita: good2bchemicalfreeReplyDelete
Dear Amy, I am so excited to have stumbled onto your blog.. you see, I have been researching herbal remedies for the last couple of years.. In the last 10 years my poor body has been through so much and it has been so long since I have felt good or even felt like myself that I think I have forgotten what myself used to feel like and what it feels like to be healthy. Several years ago I was severely injured on the job and have since been through multiple spine surgeries and tons of medication for pain relief.. during all of this I have also gone through the pain and heartbreak of losing a child and that in itself has made me feel so lost (God granted me 23 yrs with my angel and I will always be grateful for that time I was given) but I miss him.. My husband and I decided a couple of years ago to take steps toward making us feel whole again and we moved to the quieter life and I have been looking for ways to herbally help with the pain relief as I have begun to also suffer from some terrible bloating and gas along with the constipation caused from the pain meds.. the doctors seem to call it IBS, although from what we have read it is not IBS in the typical sense, but still the best way to describe the discomfort of it all... The doctors all seem to agree that for more pain relief there must be more medication or stronger medication and as a couple we have decided that that remedy is just not for me, we have also opted for no more surgeries as I always feel a little bit worse after each one and when will it all end (after we make the doctors and pharmaceutical companies just a little more richer) NO Way.!! I have read through your article a couple of times and have read all the comments.. I am very intrigued by the woman that found relief from arthritis and also another woman that talked of weight loss, not to mention the house will smell like heaven.. So I just wanted to say thank you and I will keep you posted on my progress.. My dream is to someday be completely medication free, well the man made kind anyway.. My grandmother swore by the use of herbs and I only wish I had listened to her more.. God Bless you Amy for writing such a beautiful and informative blog.. you have a new follower in me.. Blessing to you.!! <3ReplyDelete

Washington D.C. weather forecast: Springtime at its finest today, but a cool, wet week ahead
Look for a very pleasant Sunday with lots of sunshine, northwesterly breezes, and highs in the upper 60s. Clouds and late day showers on Monday though, will herald a cool, wet week.
- This Afternoon:
- Sunny, Breezy, & Pleasant
- Highs: 65-70
- Wind: NW 10-15 mph
- Tonight:
- Partly Cloudy & Cool
- Lows: 43-49
- Wind: NE 5-10 mph
- Monday:
- Turning Mostly Cloudy, PM Rain Possible
- Highs: 62-65
- Rain: 20% Chance
While there were a few sprinkles yesterday and today won't be quite as warm as Saturday, this last weekend of April is turning out to be springtime at its finest! The temperature soared to 78 at Reagan National late yesterday afternoon as winds gusted to almost 40 mph and skies stayed partly sunny. With high pressure overhead and winds still a bit brisk, this morning was a tad chilly. But plenty of sunshine and diminishing winds will make for a very comfortable afternoon with highs in the upper 60s. For those who ran in or watched the Nike Women's Half Marathon - indeed for anyone planning to be outdoors this afternoon - it is a classic spring day.
An approaching warm front that will stall to our south will however change our weather tomorrow. Mostly cloudy skies are likely by afternoon and showers are a possibility late in the day. A large storm system in the Midwest and plenty of Gulf moisture will bring unsettled weather through much of the coming week. Tuesday looks to be a rather chilly day with highs only in the upper 50s and some periods of heavy rain possible. Rain is likely again on Wednesday and even into Thursday morning. Temperatures will moderate after Tuesday with daytime highs close to the seasonal norm of 70. Enjoy your Sunday and the coming wet, but pollen-reduced days!

hi all,
is the AMD 760 MPX the newest athlon MP chipset around? it appears to
be over 3 years old.
via, ali and sis haven't come up with anything newer? that's kind of
hard to believe!
i'd like to run dual MP 2800's with barton core. udma 133 or higher.
built-in usb2.0 would be nice (although i understand that usb2 cards are
dirt cheap).
any mobo recommendations?

Great Boiler for a Computer Techie
By jperaino24
from Hamilton, NJ
Comments about Ultra 105 - 81,000 BTU Output High Efficiency Boiler (Nat Gas or LP):
I use this boiler in a 5 zone residential application. It is a great boiler when it is working fine. Very hard to find qualified service technicians to service the Ultra 3. You need to be computer savvy and most service technicians aren't. It also requires more maintenance than a conventional boiler. What you gain in gas efficiency you will spend on maintenance. But, I love it.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

WeilMcLane 105 Gas Boiler
By sf
from Lake Lillian,Mn
Residential Use Gas Boiler In the period of 1 year I have had problems that the Weil Mc Lane company has not been able to fix. Last year the boiler went out and after delayed responses and being without the use of the boiler for about 3 weeks the company replaced the unit under warranty. In less then a year the boiler went out again and the contractor has tried several new parts and the company has delayed action to solve the problem for about 1 month.The nights have averaged below 0 with several -10. Very poor support by the company Weil McLane.

Good but retailer's price is too high
By Do-it-all
from Briarwood, NY
This is a good boilers but when things go wrong you cannot purchase parts in local hardware store, you have to purchase via internet. This is my third ultra 105, problems I had was computer and blower goes bad after three years.small price to pay for a low gas bill. I recommend that you do all copper and brass instillation , If something leaks it will be an easy fix.
By Sammy
from Lake George, CO
I am using this in a home I am building.Found it easy to install.Works just like described.Service was the best.I will purchase from this company again.I will recommend this company to my family, friends, and acquaintances.Fast shipping, too.
great boiler
By Dick the Engineer
from Oakland, MD
Comments about Ultra 105 - 81,000 BTU Output High Efficiency Boiler (Nat Gas):
Have had installed about 3 years. Zero problems. Things to note: with Aluminum heat exchanger,if antifreeze is used, mfr recommends antifreeze specific to alumnimum boilers. I bought Hercules cryo-tek 100/AL on line. Also mfr recommends boiler water ph range 7-8.5. My well water was acidic, i.e. PH between 6-7 so I made a separate closed make up water system and used distilled water from local market. The alternative to a separate system is treating water to bring ph within specified range. My house has some small zones so I opted for Wilo variable speed pump which automatically adjusts flow to the zone size.

Amazing Boiler
By rickr
from roseburg, or
The boiler heats my 2700 sq ft house. It started up very well. The diagnostics are great.I wish it came with more inhibitor. I added it to the system, now I need more to complete the job and can not find out where to get it.

The standard model is a Goliath among theories: big, powerful, cumbersome and, until recently, seemingly invincible. But a decade ago, it may have already have met its David: neutrinos.
According to the standard model, these tiny, mysterious particles come in three different types, or flavours. They have no mass, and interact only through the weak nuclear force, making them very difficult to detect.
That at least was the picture until 1998, when the astonishing confirmation came that neutrinos "oscillate", regularly morphing from one flavour to another and back again. This is a quantum-mechanical effect that can occur only if neutrinos have mass. The particles thus present the first and so far only clear observation of physics beyond the standard model.
If neutrinos having mass were the whole story, we might still patch up the standard model. But we are ...

Pediatric Critical Care
The pediatric critical care doctors at UC Davis Children's Hospital are experts in helping patients who are suffering from life-threatening illnesses or injuries or require intensive care to recover after major surgery.
The hospital's state-of-the-art pediatric intensive care unit/pediatric cardiac intensive care unit offers care for the most critically ill and injured children. Here, pediatric critical care physicians partner with medical and surgical specialists and specially trained nurses and respiratory therapists to provide care for more than 1,000 infants, children and adolescents each year with conditions including severe trauma, congenital heart disease, respiratory failure and severe infections.
Children who have had heart surgery or other major operations stay in the unit until they are well enough to do without the supervision of our intensive care physicians and can be managed without the life support capabilities that are provided in the unit.
Patients arrive at the unit via a wide variety of means, often with the assistance of the UC Davis Children's Hospital's Critical Care Transport Team. The most comprehensive such service in Northern California, it has the capability of traveling by ambulance, aircraft, or helicopter.
Transport team members provide inter-hospital critical care to ensure patients arrive safely at UC Davis Children's Hospital. Over 600 children each year receive specialized care with the help of this program. Referring physicians work with the UC Davis neonatal and pediatric medical team to bring patients from distant and rural locations to our hospital for high-level care.
In 2009, the team expanded to include a state-of-the-art pediatric transport ambulance. The customized, top-of-the-line vehicle, wrapped from roof to rims in family-friendly images of children of all ages, is a 14-foot, extra-long ambulance designed for the comfort of patients and their families. It is staffed by members of the hospital's Critical Care Transport and First Responder EMS-Sacramento teams, comprised of dedicated emergency medical technicians, nurses, and physicians who are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to transport critically ill infants and children.
For those who cannot come to Sacramento, UC Davis' pediatric telemedicine program, the first of its kind in the United States, provides physicians and patients with real-time remote consultation and evaluation though interactive, high-definition video and audio communication. This technology allows UC Davis to offer its expertise to remote health care providers, without the need to transfer a patient to the UC Davis Children's Hospital.
The hospital's core group of pediatric critical care doctors have diverse clinical and research interests, including:
- Jacqueline Meryl Evans, whose research focuses on ways to improve the care of children with complex congenital heart disease, including those who require extracorporeal life support
- Jennifer Plant, who cares for pediatric patients who are critically ill from a variety of conditions, including congenital heart disease and trauma
- Robert K. Pretzlaff, who has a clinical interest in treatment using extracorporeal life support for patients with severe cardiac or respiratory failure
The American College of Surgeons has verified the UC Davis Children's Hospital as a level I pediatric trauma center, one of only three such centers in California and the only one north of Los Angeles. This designation promotes the development of trauma centers that provide the entire spectrum of care—from the pre-hospital phase through the rehabilitation process—to address the needs of all injured patients.
UC Davis Children's Hospital is the Sacramento region's only nationally ranked, comprehensive hospital for children, serving infants, children, adolescents and young adults with primary, subspecialty and critical care.

Heritage Plaza deal could be a record price
By Nancy Sarnoff | November 12, 2010
Photo By Nick de la Torre:/Chronicle
The 53-story Heritage Plaza tower at 1111 Bagby downtown is valued at $211.3 million. The building had originally been valued at $234.1 million.
One of downtown's signature skyscrapers is being sold for perhaps a near-record price, a sign of strength in the still-wobbly commercial real estate market.
Brookfield Office Properties, a major downtown landlord, is buying Heritage Plaza — the 53-story tower crowned by a Mayan temple on the western edge of the Central Business District.
Brookfield, a commercial real estate company with corporate offices in New York City and Toronto, would not comment on the transaction, but a source familiar with the deal said the sale could close by next month.
The company has agreed to pay $325 million - or $285 per square foot - for the 1.15 million-square-foot building, according to industry newsletter Real Estate Alert, which didn't cite its sources. That's potentially the second-biggest office deal by dollar volume in Houston's history, the publication said.
The first was Bank of America Center, another downtown property that traded in 2007 for $366.8 million, according to Real Capital Analytics.
"For high-quality assets, the market hasn't fallen that much from the peak," said Ben Carlos Thypin, senior market analyst for the New York-based research firm.
Brookfield is buying the property from Atlanta-based Goddard Investment Group, which purchased the tower in 2005.
Goddard, which could not be reached for comment Thursday, bought the building at 1111 Bagby when downtown vacancies were mounting. The sale coincided with the property's largest tenant vacating nearly half of the space.
Positive sign
The building, formerly known as Texaco Heritage Plaza, shortened its name after Chevron absorbed Texaco and pulled out of it and some other downtown properties.
At the time, sources said Goddard paid between $125 million and $130 million for the tower plus two acres of adjacent land where it later built a parking garage.
Experts see the potential sale as a positive sign for Houston's commercial real estate market.
"It kind of confirms a trend we're seeing on a national basis, which is trophy properties are attracting the most attention from the best buyers," said Richard Rudd, senior managing director of Allied Advisors in Houston.
Other downtown deals
Brookfield's downtown portfolio includes Allen Center and the buildings Continental Airlines occupies.
If the deal closes, it will be on the heels of another downtown buy by Brookfield.
The company recently purchased the long-abandoned Sheraton-Lincoln Plaza at 711 Polk, which it plans to tear down and turn into a surface parking lot for now.
While the overall office market has seen a recent uptick in leasing activity, it hasn't all represented growth.
Rental rates, too, have declined as companies have been hesitant to commit to additional employees and office space.
The amount of available space among the nicest downtown buildings rose to 17.7 percent in the third quarter from 9.5 percent a year earlier, according to real estate firm Studley.
That includes sublease space.
Heritage Plaza was the last tower built downtown before the real estate crash of the late 1980s.
Citing real estate data firm CoStar, the building is about 90 percent leased, said Rudd, who negotiated for the seller when Goddard bought it.

Nia Lozano, a middle school parent, tells us about a new group that's building support for Oakland High School.
An interesting new group has formed in the Crocker and Glenview neighborhoods of Oakland. It was formed by some parents from Edna Brewer who would like other neighborhood parents to consider Oakland High.
This is truly the first time I have ever heard families musing about Oakland High, even among the die-hard, Edna Brewer, go public, local school advocates. The communities of Crocker and Glenview have been relatively silent about Oakland High, which is interesting given that the last time I checked their scores were only marginally lower than Oakland Tech and Skyline (and may have been better in some areas of math, I can't recall right now.)
What I gather is that the new principal is well regarded and that may have sparked the interest, besides the fact that if parents could raise the community profile of Edna Brewer, they should be able to do the same with O High.
I am not an organizer of this, but on Tuesday, I went to a house meeting and heard a presentation by the principal and a huge showing of her staff. They all sounded sharp and really seemed to understand their audience (Glenview/Crocker middle to upper middle class families who care about education).
This really felt like an important beginning of something, but I don't think I'll be sending my eighth grader there next year. I have a fifth grader at Crocker, however, and would love to see the hills folks trickle down and make this a neighborhood public school, so I'm hoping to stay involved.
It was an amazing feeling to get the email inviting me to the first Consider Oakland High meeting and I thought "Duh, what took us all so long? I'd rather not drive to Tech." Also, this would be the perfect trifecta for our neighborhoods: Crocker, Brewer, OHigh or Glenview, Brewer, OHigh!

What Revell should put out as Kits...
Posted 27 February 2013 - 09:42 AM
1/16 or even 1/8 "Smirnoff" Front End Dragster.
Does anyone know of any after market suppliers that offer a conversion kit and decals?
Now, that would be a great birthday present for me..LOL
Posted 27 February 2013 - 09:50 AM
I know everyone has their own personal "what I want", so I might as well throw mine in the mix too. It's my personal favorite and dream car...the 1970 GTO The Judge with the Ram Air IV 400. Like my avitar pic to the left. I'd like to see the level of detail that was put into the '72 Cutlass/442, but not as a convertible. I know there was a '70 GTO done by MPC years ago, but that was a terrible kit. I even got a resin trans kit, was cast from the MPC body, but it got crushed and using a '72 GTO as a donor kit...well I might as well buy the cruddy MPC kit. No thanks. Unfortunately, there probably wouldn't be a real high demand for it, but I'd buy plenty of them and build 1 in each available color.
How about they offer a "Correct 68'" dash in the 69 judge kit?...being they offer the 68' nose but no dash? wth revell?
Posted 27 February 2013 - 09:52 AM
I would like to see a 68 chevelle hardtop & convertable with up top.and a better 78/79 shortbed Chevy truck
They do that shortbed!...Its called the "Snow Plow" kit!
Posted 27 February 2013 - 10:58 AM
I think the problem would be such a kit could only build it one way with that radical chop and laid back windshield, so sales would be very limited. Yes, you could kitbash the parts, but Revell'd be better off releasing a retro/traditional rod with a more streetable roof height, based on the Rat Roaster tooling.
Looking at my GMP diecast, I can see that they implemented the roof in a way that it a separate piece, explaining why there is also a roadster version based on those kits, pictured below.
So why not release a 2 in 1 kit with both chopped top and roadster top, named something like "Salt Flat Racer Special". Maybe even a third option with an unchopped top. Revell did something similar with 36 Ford Coupe/Convertible and I believe AMT did something similar with their 36 3 Window Coupe as well.
Just a thought.
Posted 27 February 2013 - 12:37 PM
They do that shortbed!...Its called the "Snow Plow" kit!
Yup, you just have to find a Chevy grille and you're golden (granted it may not be the correct style for the year you want, especially '79/'80).

In my80malibu's defense, he asked for "a better 78/79 shortbed Chevy truck", and I'd have to agree. The Monogram kit looks decent sitting on a shelf, but time has passed it by, and the days of interior tubs with molded in seats, door panels, and armrest detail are thankfully over. I won't even mention there are no floorpans in any of Monogram's Chevy/GMC, Ford F-series, not Dodge Ramcharger kits.
I don't see a new series of '73-'86 GM/GMC pickup kits arriving for at least another decade, if ever, but they are definitely needed. In addition to the Monogram kit's shortcomings, the Revell kit(s) is even worse.
Posted 28 February 2013 - 05:42 AM
Why wouldn't you want Fujimi just to reissue them? The only reboxed Fujimi kit under the Revell brand I recall seeing were the GT40 curbsides.
It would be nice if they WOULD, but it doesn't seem like they want to. All the recently reissued Tamiya/Fujimi kits they're doing are the curbside ones, and even those are at a higher cost than American Revell kits. Don't get me wrong, the cost is negligible if they are made available here in the states, but that's IF they truly decide to release them here. A lot of the extra cost is the fact that they do come from overseas, not to mention the exorbitant costs that come from fleaBay.

Your granddad has probably shown you his collection of vintage baseball cards. You probably just said, "OK. Whatever, Grandpa. Can I go watch more TV now?"
But back in his time, those pieces of lifeless paper made players like Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig and Jackie Robinson come alive. Children would spread their cards out on the floor and work out multiple exchanges until they were satisfied with their holdings.
Now, I may or may not be the biggest sports fan on the planet. I could name you almost every player who plays on each team in any sport, what position they play, for how many years and what college they attended.
I remember ripping open my first box of baseball cards, pouring them out onto the carpet and sorting through each one carefully. The revealing of the cards came with the same happiness and passion as the sport itself.
Trading card collecting is a lost art. Though I still believe if you love something so much, you cannot stop thinking about it in day-to-day activities. You have to find a way to or channel that passion into that something.
In this case, mine would be sports.
What happens when each sport's season comes to an end? The cards come out to play.
Usually, in between each sport's respective season, I make regular trips to either Target or Walmart to stock up on cards by the box.
In the trading card industry, there are three different ways they are sold. The first, and simplest, is by package. Packages often contain seven to 12 cards. These are usually the cheapest, ranging from $1-$3; however, there are not very many cards per pack, and since I like getting cards a lot, the money starts to add up after a while.
The second is by the box. Boxes of sports cards area usually made up of nine or 10 packages, though sometimes the manufacturer throws in a bonus pack of limited-edition cards as well. I prefer this way because it gives you more cards for a cheaper price per package. Put simply, the more packs of cards you hold in your hand, the broader your sports horizons expand.
The third way, which I have not attempted to try yet, is the complete set box. This large item comes with every single card in that year's set. It can be pricey, but it is worth it if you want to know that you have the complete catalog of cards in your possession.
As I got older, the love of the game never wore off. My binders of baseball, football and basketball cards continued to fill their brims. I also started to recognize more and more players on TV. Every other month, it feels like I have to ask my parents to make a routine trip to OfficeMax or Office Depot to get another binder to store cards in.
In my collecting of sports cards, I have been able to realize the value of your greatest passion is what you put into it. Even though card collecting is not very common nowadays, the feeling you get when you split open the new pack of football cards and find the Tony Romo autograph card or the Jason Witten authentic jersey card is unforgettable.

BILOXI -- The Mississippi Surge earned their first victory of the season on Saturday night, beating the previously undefeated Mississippi RiverKings 5-0 at the Mississippi Coast Coliseum.
The team withstood four penalty kills in the first period, but it was the RiverKings who gave up a power play goal at 13:56 for the first score of the game.
As the puck lingered on the goal line, Shawn Skelly found it before RiverKing goalie David Wilson could and got it in for the score. Returning center Adam Stuart and Brad Good assisted.
The goal seemed to give the Surge (1-1-1) the confidence needed to elevate their game.
Three minutes later, they hit the net again. Right wing Corey Tamblyn floated a shot from the RiverKing's face-off circle to put the Surge up 2-0. Derek Graham and James Isaacs assisted.
The Surge played a strong second period both offensively and defensively. The RiverKings had more than seven consecutive minutes of penalty kill that began with checking, roughing and misconduct by Tyler Sheldrake. At 8:16 Skelly took advantage of the out-manned RiverKings to put the Surge up 3-0. Tommy Lange and Stuart assisted.
At the 15:14 mark, Graham took a pass from Tamblyn and sped to the goal to beat out Wilson in a one-on-one situation.
