Spring is here, and oh, how fine it is. As the days warm and the sunlight increases, life is brought forth: tulips bloom, oak trees are renewed, and robins mate. For me, a woman who continues to heal from a chronic illness, spring brings with it the inspiration to further cleanse my body of stored toxins. The human body responds to warmer temperatures and more sunlight by releasing toxins and mucus. With nutritional, herbal, and cleansing support, the body is geared to go through a deep tissue cleanse at this time of the year. The rewards of a deeply cleansed body are many and profound.
Being a colon therapist, I have the honor of seeing that the human body is designed to be healthy and to live long. It is my belief that humans can live well past their 90's with fully functioning bodies. I find that we have to work for health, and that we will have to make it a priority; but the promise is there. When people come for colon therapy and fasting consultations, they have the distinct opportunity to be able to see that cleansing the body has the promise of adding years onto their lives. Of course, it isn't a scientific study that we are conducting; but, when a person sees thirty feet of black tar ropes come out of their colon during the course of a fast, they can't help but realize that having all of that goop in their bodies must be an important factor in aging. I find that being part of an individual's perception that they have just done something that will increase their life span is quite moving.
As Dr. Bernard Jensen states in Tissue Cleansing through Bowel Management, "It is an indisputable fact that not only illness and old age, but even death are due to the accumulation of waste products of body chemistry...Therefore, immunity and freedom from disease can be had and old age and death can be deferred only as long as body wastes are kept at a minimum." This, to me, is common sense. When I put a client on a fast and long strands of mucus or black, fecal matter appear in my colon therapy machine, I know that our bodies can be renewed with cleansing, just as the giant oak trees are renewed with spring. Health and longevity are a promise that is reflected all around us through nature. Historically, people have realized that paying attention to the content and amount of what we eat and drink can change not only health, but even human nature. For our ancestors, eating and drinking were thought to be the most important rituals in the divine art of life. Fasting was often a weekly ritual. I propose that we reclaim the art of fasting to bring our lives into balance, to bring our health to optimal levels, and to bring our spirits to the heights where they belong.
People don't have to suffer in order to enjoy the benefits of fasting. We will only have to sacrifice our hurried lifestyles, wasteful activities, and thoughtlessness. Many of us confuse fasting with starvation and exhaustion. This is not the case. One of my clients teaches physical education and adult spinning classes. She continued to do these activities during her six day fast. Hunger often disappears after a day or two. What impresses me over and over again with my clients is how cleansing their bodies changes their lives, sparks new energies, and ignites old passions. People feel more powerful, more in charge of themselves. A toxic body leaves us feeling drained and not in control of our lives. Internal cleansing is about a lifestyle, and an attitude of living and caring for ourselves that increases our energies.
For those of us who are in the position of having no health problems, and consider themselves above the need to fast, consider this: The human body is basically strong and can take a lot of abuse from overeating and unhealthy eating. Most people believe that if they have one good bowel movement a day that they are free of constipation. This is not so. A person should have a bowel movement for each meal. The bowel should move 2-4 times per day. Once on the toilet, elimination should be easy and take no more that 10-20 seconds. The healthy stool will be long, large in diameter, light brown in color, without offensive odor, and should float or sink very slowly. When the toilet is flushed, the stool will break apart immediately. An unseen consequence of a sluggish bowel is the body full of rotten, putrefying, waste; lying undischarged in the intestine, where it undergoes enzymatic and bacteriological changes that poison the body. A minimum of one fast a year improves bowel function.
Let me tell you the story of one of my friends. He is the picture of health. He has 2-3 bowel movements per day, and he eats lots of organic fruits and vegetables. His only health issues are occasional backaches and off-again on-again bad breath. Inspired by me, he decided to fast and to have colon therapy. On day two of his fast, black, tar-like ropes started to come out of his colon. He eliminated about 6 feet of these ropes. At this point, he thought, "How great! I can stop my fast. I'm cleaned out." A week later, his back kept him home from work and his breath smelt terrible. (The body is basically an open system from mouth to anus.) I encouraged him to fast again and have colon therapy. Over the next 3 days, he eliminated up to 3 pounds of matter from his colon. His backache and bad breath went away. His experience illustrates that cleansing work needs to be done even if we are the picture of health and have come to eat in healthful manner in our adult years.
For those people who struggle with health, cleansing the body has proven time and again to bring optimal wellness. I have seen people with Fibromyalgia turn around. I had a client who, with some fasting and colon therapy, was able to go off of his insulin. I have seen people lose 20 pounds, as well as uncover hidden food allergies. Fasting lowers and normalizes cholesterol and blood pressure levels. Fasting can eliminate or modify smoking, drug and drinking addictions. I find that fasting can successfully treat many physical and emotional illnesses.
How does fasting work? Well, a properly functioning elimination system is the key for optimal health. For the most part, our bodies cannot work quickly enough to eliminate the toxins. Some examples of accumulated toxins are undigested proteins, pesticides, poorly combined fruit, and the physical byproducts of stress (You'd be amazed at how much mucus stress can cause in the body.). Each year there is a grand total of 5,705,670,380 pounds of chemical pollutants released into the environment. In the United States alone, we allow over 10,000 food and chemical additives into our food supply. This overload of toxins causes the metabolic processes of the body to slow down, causing illnesses such as sinus infections, cancer, allergies, chronic fatigue, yeast infections, and eventually causing death. For most of us, this has been occurring since we were conceived. It has become clear to me that many people are silently struggling with low level health problems that are due to a toxic system. So, how does this work? Cleanse thyself.
Work through the book, Kristina Amelong's Ten Days to Optimal Health. It is important to have assistance during a fast. First, a healing crisis may occur. In most cases these symptoms are a good sign, but can lead a person to panic: to take antibiotics or to break their fast at a critical time in the body's healing cycle. A healing crisis is the opposite of a disease crisis, yet in many ways the crisis feels the same, and symptoms are often similar.
A healing crisis may last a few days. Each healing crisis releases deep physical imbalances. When a healing crisis comes, do not attempt to stop it! This confuses most people because, "If I feel sick, I must be sick," when in actuality, the discomfort of the healing crisis is an indication of your own body working to heal itself, from the inside, out. The fastest, easiest, and most effective method to promote healing is to detoxify the body tissue. By working through the 35-day program, as laid out in Kristina Amelong's Ten Days to Optimal Health, you will increase your chances of a healthy and EASY fast.
A cleansing program ultimately leads to the beneficial and important healing crisis, which manifests as the recurrence of old physical problems, such as a runny nose, flu-like symptoms, and fever, which occurs to burn out toxic waste. The ills that were once suppressed by drugs are now released. This is a sure sign that the right path has been taken, and that the body has gained the strength to heal itself naturally. Our body does its best with whatever materials it receives. Therefore, we must learn to work with nature and not against nature. Typically, as a condition proceeds toward the chronic stage, the allopathic approach calls for powerful drugs to suppress symptoms. To begin the reversal path and get back to a higher level of health, we must retrace the path from illness to wellness. To bring about a reversal, and a healing, we must understand that suppression is the approach. Rejuvenation cannot be accomplished by using drugs or suppressing symptoms. Elimination of toxic material must be assisted rather than repressed. Don't settle for short term suppression; reach for long term tissue rejuvenation.
The second important reason for having assistance has to do with successful fasting. The success of a fast, physically and emotionally, comes with completion. This means that a person needs to know how to assess their situation accurately in order to be able to set realistic goals that they will be to follow through. Another important issue is the fact that ending the fast is just as important as the fast itself. It is important to start eating slowly and with care. If you sit down at your first meal and eat everything in sight, you may find yourself with a terrible ache in the stomach. This, too, can wreak havoc on your body and diminish the benefits of all your good work.
If you are interested in effectively detoxifying your body, work through the highly effective detox diet laid out in Kristina Amelong's Ten Days to Optimal Health. If you need personal support, contact the Optimal Health Center. I have seen over and over again that by making health a priority people renew every area of their lives. I wish for you the promise that spring brings with her.

NEWPORT CITY – Wednesday evening, area residents are invited to North Country Union High School (NCUHS) for a community forum entitled "It Can't Happen To Me!"
The Community Forum Coalition is sponsoring the event, which starts at 7 p.m. and continues to 8:30 p.m. It will feature personal stories of substance abuse, drinking and driving, DUI accidents and fatalities and the people left behind to pick up the pieces.
Local recording artist Wayne Warner will perform.
Substance abuse is a common problem among students and adults alike, said Stephanie Currier, NCUHS social worker. "We decided to seek out local community members who had an experience of substance use in their own life and asked them to speak about what the impact is," said Currier.
A law enforcement officer, who sits on the coalition, arranged to have Mike Lucier speak. Lucier is incarcerated at the Northern State Correctional Facility in Newport. "He is actually being brought here to the auditorium to tell his personal story about his accident that involved substance use."
Lucier was the driver of a vehicle that struck and killed 21-year-old Bethany McAlister of Hyde Park in 2009.
Alyssa Burns of Newport City sustained broken bones and lacerations in the same accident. Both girls were pedestrians.
Warner's video, "Black and White Rainbows," is also part of the forum. The video features the faces of those who fell victim to drug use by either on their own or through someone else. Warner will talk about his personal experiences with substance use.
"The goal was to help create this awareness," said Currier. "We thought if we sought out local community members that it was a way to connect the audience with the actual presenters."
The issue, said Currier, impacts everybody. She said many people, especially young people, believe substance abuse problems can't happen to them. Currier stressed the forum has nothing to do with rumors that substance abuse is a major problem in the North Country community.
"I think substance use is a community issue," said Currier. "The school is one entity within the community. We are certainly going to do what we can do in order to create an awareness of what the impact of substance use is."
The forum is aimed at students, families and community members.
The coalition would like to have three addition forums this school year. It is not necessary to live in the district to attend a forum.

Dr. Jekyll and Mom Hyde
I have not been the wife or mother that I long to be lately. I've been terse, curt and snappy. My compassion has waned of late.
In desperation I turned to the one place I could find lasting help – The Bible. I am still prayerfully working on allowing the Word of God to transform me to be more like Christ – with a loving, giving attitude – but I wanted to share with you all today 5 verses that are helping to refill my Compassion Tank.
Join me at The Better Mom for 5 Verses for When Your Compassion is Running Low.
Just clicked over from The Better Mom? Welcome! I'm so glad you popped by! Make yourself at home and look around awhile.
Treasure, Ponder, Snuggle, Repeat
I see your small body on the sheet covered gurney; blood staining your knee and your jeans.
Tears stain your cheeks and sweat has matted your hair to your head.
I want to remember how tiny you
were are and how things can happen and change in an instant.
I see you standing in front of the ginormous ride, both terrified and chomping at the bit to go.
You squeal, laugh, whoop and holler with hands raised. Joy radiating from your face.
I want to remember the reckless abandon with which you experienced this place; believe the magic without question.
I hear your sweet voice ask for the umpteenth time today, "Up-y, up-y, mommy. I snuggle you."
I scoop you up onto my lap and we snuggle and sway; rock and hum.
I'm treasuring each of these moments deep in my mother's heart. Storing them away for future use.
You're so brave, so strong, so full of joy.
You laugh with out restraint, love without clause, and live without limits.
I want to remember these days when you're too big to hold; to manly to snuggle; but hopefully you'll never outgrow your compulsion to laugh, love and live to your heart's content.
I've linked up with the tribe over at LisaJo's place for Five Minute Friday. Today's prompt was: Remember.
I've also linked up with Women Living Well
Finding What Wishes to Hide
I decided it was high time to dust off these ole keys and blow the cobwebs out of this writer's mind. What better way to do that than to join LisaJo and her tribe in the greatest writer flash mob around, Five Minute Friday? And I nearly laughed out loud when I read this week's prompt as I've been waxing poetic to anyone who will listen about how hectic the past few months have been – and the next few months will continue to be. So join me for my best five minutes on
Sleep finally settles on me
As the fan gently blows cool air over me, lulling me to drift off.
Anger and frustration vie for top billing as I thrash the covers back and stomp to see
What do they want now?
I scold and chide and plead for just a few more minutes…
Lie down; snuggle in; drift off.
Bang. Boom. Slap. Cries.
It seems sleep is not for me today.
Poor me. Woe is me. Nobody cares, but me.
I snuggle you, mama.
I sit on your lap, mama?
I love you, mommy.
As much as sleep refreshes mind and body, today I realize as I watch that rest is found…
In the bubbly laugh of the two year old.
In the halted sounds of my sweet girl sounding out her first written words.
In the belly laughs preceded by, "Tickle me, Daddy!"
This day; this house; this family of mine is full of
Hair-raising stunts
And if I just get out of my own way, it is full of more refreshment and rest than I could ever dare to hope.
Home Sweet…Home? And More Series Fun…
Wow, has it really been a month since I've posted??
I can't tell you how much I appreciate your patience with me and sticking around while I've been so quiet!
We arrived safe and sound in the States and promptly hit the ground running. We've not stopped traveling in some form or fashion in the 3.5 weeks we've been here! We just finished up a great time with my family taking our kiddos to Disneyland for the first time (you can bet there will be posts/pics about that coming up)! And now, we are in one place for a couple of weeks before we have to travel again, so hopefully – Lord willing – things will get a little more back to normal around here!
Starting today! :)
I'm delighted that the second post of the Comfy Pregnancy Series is up at The Better Mom today! Come on over and join us as we chat about how to get the comfiest sleep possible in pregnancy! Be sure to share your tried and true tips in the comments!
If you've just joined us from The Better Mom, I want to extend a warm, fresh-on-American-soil-from-Ireland welcome to you! Thanks for stopping by! Feel free to make yourself at home and have a look around! The kettle's always on, even on this side of the pond. ;)

Steve McQueen Husqvarna leads Mid America Auctions' Las Vegas event
Photos courtesy Mid America Auctions
In addition to the motorcycle auctions by Auction America and Bonhams scheduled for next month, comes word of a third motorcycle auction in Las Vegas the same weekend, and this sale by Mid America Auctions promises to be huge. More than 375 bikes have already been consigned, three of which have direct ties to Steve McQueen.
Among the bikes for sale will be McQueen's 1971 Husqvarna 400 Cross, described by the auction as "Sports Illustrated magazine cover bike competitively raced by him. Documented w/ serial number verification, photos, factory & dealer bills of sale, repair orders for the missing front fender." Note the lack of a definite or indefinite article. Other McQueen-owned bikes to be offered are a 1938 Triumph Speed Twin that was restored for McQueen by Bud Eakins at his Hollywood shop and a 1940 Indian inline-four that was originally purchased from the McQueen estate in 1984 and is now being sold by the purchaser's son. Steve McQueen's wife will also be in attendance at the auction, presenting two books she has written about her life with the legendary movie icon, avid motorcycle collector and expert rider.
McQueen bikes don't interest you? How about a 1998 Ducati 916 SPS with no miles on it? The bike was purchased from the dealer and never ridden. All original paperwork is included with the bike. A restored 1939 BMW R12 is also featured, as is a Czechoslovakian-built 1935 Bohmerland Langtourer three-seater with dual rear gas tanks and a 1913 Flying Merkel Board Track Racer, built by Merkel employee Maldwyn Jones in 1912, who raced it himself. The list goes on and on, and so does the online catalog. The Mid America Auctions motorcycle auction will take place January 12-14. A complete list of all the bikes (currently 18 pages' worth) is available at MidAmericaAuctions.com.
Another man's treasure – Lee Roy Hartung Collection sells for $3.95 million
It could be rightfully said that the sale of the late Lee Roy Hartung Collection was one of the highly anticipated auction events of the Fall. And for good reason: The scope of what lay strewn about Hartung's estate in Glenview, Illinois, was not fully realized until the staff of Auctions America by RM – the Auburn, Indiana-based company tasked with the sifting, arranging and selling of Hartung's museum – had begun the monumental effort. Word quickly spread of the mountains of automotive parts; everything from spark plugs to NOS connecting rods to fenders and wheels; rare and highly desirable motorcycles; an armada of Ford Model A's; petroleum memorabilia; dealer literature; bicycles; and an odd arrangement of home furnishings. Even kids' toys were unearthed. The list was seemingly endless. In all, just shy of 1,600 individual lots.
With regard to complete two- and four-wheeled vehicles – meaning most, if not all, of the parts were still in place – all would require some form of mechanical restoration, and a good chunk of those desperately needed a complete stem-to-stern, ground-up restoration. No matter, as Auctions America officials reported that bidders from nine countries and 46 states descended upon Glenview for the three-day sale, held this past weekend.
Sticking with the topic of completed vehicles, a grand total of 75 automobiles had their moment under the stage lights, 58 of which found new locations for less than $10,000. Topping the four-wheeled chart, however, was Lot 7549 – a Spohn-bodied 1950 Veritas BMW that fetched $195,000, which was also good enough for second on the overall top 10 list for the weekend. Second was the car pictured above: the 1950 Edwards R-26 Roadster at $143,750; the Edwards placed third on the overall top 10 (it turns out that these were the only two cars to make the overall top 10). Rounding out the top 10 among the offered automobiles, including a tie for 10th:
Lot 7530 – 1940 Ford Deluxe convertible, $31,050
Lot 7538 – 1931 Ford Model A Deluxe roadster, $25,300
Lot 7562 – 1934 Ford Phaeton, $25,300
Lot 7557 – 1959 Bentley Saloon (seen below), $18,400
Lot 7525 – 1932 Ford Model B Tudor sedan, $18,400
Lot 7532 – 1909 Ford Model T, $15,525
Lot 7554 – 1925 Hertz Model D-1 five-passenger Touring, $12,650
Lot 7547 – 1929 Ford Model A Roadster Pickup, $12,075
Lot 7526 – 1931 Ford Model A Cabriolet, $12,075
The sale average, by way of comparison, among automobiles was $11,426.
A total of 48 motorcycle lots crossed the block (several lots were multi-bike sales), the top sale going to an exceptionally rare, twin belt drive 1911 Flying Merkel (Lot 6483) at $201,250; it also fetched top sale of the weekend.
Coming in second among the two-wheeled category was Lot 6489, a 1912 Harley-Davidson at $115,000; it was followed by Lot 6485, a 1911 Pope Model H hammered home at $83,375. Rounding out the rest of the top 10 motorcycles:
Lot 6472 – 1909 Sears, $66,125
Lot 6490 – 1938 Indian four-cylinder Rigid Frame, $64,400
Lot 6488 – 1926 Henderson Deluxe Fire Department, $63,250
Lot 6470 – 1915 Harley-Davidson two-speed one-cylinder, $57,500
Lot 6469 – 1904 Fabrique-Nationale, $55,200
Lot 6487 – 1913 Indian Twin, $55,200
Lot 6476 – 1928 Henderson four-cylinder, $54,625
A total of 23 motorcycle lots sold for less than $10,000, dropping that group's average sale price to $28,878.
To give you an idea of how low bidders were willing to go, Lot 7501 – a 1959 Edsel Ranger that was more of a parts car than restoration project – sold for just $230, while Lot 6456 – a 1979 Yamaha XS Eleven Special – gaveled for just two C-notes and a buck; considerably less than the $29,900 spent on a run of Arizona license plates.
According to Auctions America president Donnie Gould,
"We were honored to have been entrusted with the sale of the famed Lee Roy Hartung Collection and are very pleased with the results. The sale was a terrific celebration of one man's drive to collect and preserve American history. Collectors recognized the range of rare ownership opportunities the sale presented, as was reflected in the strong attendance and results. In addition to the automobiles, vintage motorcycles were a major component and focus of the collection. The prices realized for the examples on offer confirms the continued strength of the collectible motorcycle market."

Art Appreciation- Jeff Decker
While at the 2009 International Motorcycle Show at the Javits Center in New York City last January. I came across several bronze sculptures produced by Jeff Dexter in his Hippodrome Studios. The detail on them was amazing. Later this year, while researching an article I wrote for Hemmings Motor News on Crocker motorcycles, Jeff's name popped up again as being an owner of one of these rare bikes (only 37 were known to be built). I finally took the time to gander at his website www.jeffdeckerstudio.com and found many more exquisite bronzes and sculptures he has designed or is currently working on.
Although many feature classic motorcycles, Flying Merkels, Harleys, Excelsiors and Indians, Jeff has also done a stunning bronze of the 1924 Miller Indy car and a great old wooden "rum runner" boat. One of his current projects due to be completed later this year is of the Miller Stutz Black Hawk land speed racer. More images and information is available on his website.
State of the state
It's a busy week or two here, between packing in a few last photo shoots before the snow and multiple deadlines. But a week ago, I managed to get down to Providence, Rhode Island, for the day to see Dick Shappy's pair of 1906 Cadillacs. It was a superb opportunity to compare an original and restored car side-by-side.
The original car ran absolutely like a top. Even with a big single, it was sewing-machine smooth. Unfortunately, the 100-year-old band on the clincher tire gave way, so we ran it around on a bare rim. Well, not quite bare, thanks to the miracle of duct tape. There's a 2X6 under the rear passenger-side wheel here.
The freshly-restored car also had some glitches, and wasn't holding water well. I had enough time to get action photos, but not enough to drive it. That's brass-era mechanic Sean Brayton at the wheel; Dick, in the passenger seat, had a heart attack earlier in the week and was taking it easy. I'm finishing up a feature story on these for the upcoming February issue of Classic Car.
A Quick Reminder
A couple of months ago, we wrote about the Bonhams and Butterfields Auction
in conjunction with Love Ride 22 at the Petersen Museum in Los Angeles, California. Well, the time has come for the auction, and if you're in the area on November 12, 2005, it is not to be missed. A catalog of the auction just
came across my desk and, believe me, if I wasn't stuck here in the snow in
Vermont, I'd be there.
Featured at this auction is a collection of five (Five!) Brough
Superiors. The bikes range in age from a 1931 Black Alpine 680, to a 1938
SS-80. All the bikes are offered by the Bob Schanz collection. Schanz was a motorcyclist all his life, and eventually founded Accessory Mart, one of the country's largest Brit-bike parts suppliers. Schanz passed away in 2003. The most notable Brough on the auction block is an absolutely fearsome 1937 SS-100. The company built only 102 of them, and only 71 survive today, worldwide. The auction estimate on this bike ranges from $90,000 to $100,000.
If that's not enough, there's a recently discovered 1913 Flying Merkel in original, unrestored form, with an auction estimate between $125,000 and
Think all the money's going for Hemis these days? Not likely.

Recharging McCain's Battery Prize
October 16, 2008
Max Schulz
Over the course of this lengthy presidential campaign, John McCain has offered the only truly innovative proposal on energy issued by either candidate. That the media has hardly noticed is one thing. The real mystery is why John McCain himself is so reluctant to bring it up.
Back in June, Senator McCain suggested the federal government offer a $300 million prize "for the development of a battery package that has the size, capacity, cost and power to leapfrog the commercially available plug-in hybrids or electric cars." The current technologies available in things like the Toyota Prius, though celebrated, are only bridges to a much more ambitious future. McCain's battery prize is designed to incentivize American scientists and engineers get us there, delivering a future in which our cars are powered by electricity (and the things that generate it), not oil.
Offering prizes to spur innovation is not exactly new, of course. In 2004, the Ansari X-Prize awarded $10 million to the winners of a contest to develop a reusable, manned spacecraft. More recently, Virgin's Richard Branson announced his offer of a $25-million prize for the development of a commercially viable design to remove man-made greenhouse gas emissions from the atmosphere. Skeptical environmentalist Bjørn Lomborg suggests that Western nations spend .05 percent of their GDP on clean-energy R&Dbut in the form of prizes for technological breakthroughs, rather than straight government subsidies. Such prizes have been effective in the past as well. Charles Lindbergh flew across the Atlantic in 1927 not just for glory, but to claim a $25,000 bounty.
Those efforts were privately funded, a concept wholly alien to the ways of Washington. Government efforts to spur research and development typically promote certain favored technologiesparticularly renewable energies like wind and solarby showering them with subsidies and tax breaks. Renewables have received over $100 billion in subsidies since 1950, yet have gained little foothold in our energy economy. Washington typically sets goals, then shells out a lot of money whether those goals are met or not. Not surprisingly, they usually aren't.The X-Prize, by contrast, met its goal. A team financed by Microsoft pioneer Paul Allen built a rocket ship that made two successful suborbital flights in a two-week period. Perhaps as important as that breakthrough is the more than $100 million in privately funded research the contest unleashed. As Case Western Reserve University professor Jonathan Adler wrote on NRO a year ago, the X-Prize showed that spaceflight "can be far less costly than the typical NASA mission would suggest, and generated a far greater return per dollar spent than the federal space program."
That is what makes McCain's proposal so intriguing. For a candidate who has been criticized by Barrack Obama for suffering from Potomac Fever, McCain has put forward a decidedly un-Washington proposal. It offers an alternative to throwing money down Washington's R&D black hole, as with Jimmy Carter's Synthetic Fuels Corporation ($17 billion), Bill Clinton's Partnership for a New Generation of Vehicles ($7 billion), or even George W. Bush's hydrogen initiative ($1.2 billion and counting). McCain's proposal doesn't seek to pick winners before the racethe conventional Washington approachbut to reward the first party across the finish line.
As the price of oil and gasoline skyrocketed this summer, McCain was wise to embrace energy issues. He tapped into voters' disgust with Washington's approach by calling for an end to the federal ban on offshore drilling. He also picked a running mate who couldn't be further outside the Beltway, and who has extensive experience dealing with domestic energy production. The public's curiosity about T. Boone Pickens' energy plan this summer shows a hunger for solutions that differ from what comes out of the nation's capital. The proposal to award $300 million to anyone who can provide the breakthrough technology for our automotive future similarly taps into the sentiment that Washington's way of doing things isn't working.
Obviously, a revolutionary new battery technologyone that is powerful, compact, and cheapis worth a lot more than $300 million. One might argue that anyone who develops it will already be amply rewarded because of patent protectionsso what does this incentive accomplish? Still, it's worth noting that not one among the hordes of alternative-energy rent-seekers who are currently pigging out at the public trough are receiving anywhere near $300 million; that amount is, I think, pretty eye catching. But what is really impressive about the McCain proposal is (or was?) what it represents in terms of a real departure from Washington's business-as-usual. Not government subsidies for special interests; a prize for progress alone. Imagine that.
So as the race enters the stretch drive, why has McCain clammed up about it? He rarely mentions the plan in his public remarks. It doesn't come up in his ads. And McCain failed to bring up the topic in the debates, even when the topics turned to energy and climate change. Despite serving in Congress for a quarter century, John McCain prides himself on being an outsider. He calls himself a maverick, unafraid to pillory colleagues for their excesses and unwilling to play by their rules. This proposal fits that mold.
How ironic that the septuagenarian is the real agent of change in this election. But if nobody seems to recognize that fact, McCain has nobody to blame but himself.

Salt Lake theater company premieres 'kinky' comedy 'Venus in Fur'
A desperate female actor rushes into a rehearsal room, late, and tries to persuade an uninterested director to let her audition for his play. Vanda appears flaky, a simpleton and an embodiment of everything Thomas, a frustrated playwright, hates.
The ill-fated audition is for a role in a stage adaptation of the 1870 novel "Venus in Furs," from which we inherited the term sadomasochism, and which Thomas describes as a "great love story." Despite the power imbalance in the audition room, Vanda is sassy enough to challenge the director's arrogance. "Basically, it's S-and-M porn," she says.
That's the entry point for David Ives' "Venus in Fur," a two-person genre-busting play that opens Salt Lake Acting Company's new season. The show, which opened off-Broadway in 2010, earned a Best Actress Tony Award for Nina Arianda, who called the role "one of the strongest female parts that I've ever read." It's the fourth of Ives' plays to be produced by SLAC, after "Polish Joke," "Mere Mortals" and a collection of one-act plays, "All in the Timing."
Director Tracy Callahan describes the provocative play, which explores themes of power, masochism and seduction, as a "sexy comedy." "I love the unraveling of the storyline and how it is revealed to the audience in a clever way," she said of Ives' play-within-a-play structure, which leaps between the contemporary setting of the rehearsal room to the 19th-century world of the novel.
Marza Warsinske, 24, relishes the challenge of portraying the layered, complex lead female character in the play's regional premiere.
"Vanda is a lot more than she seems," Warsinske says. "She comes into the room as a very desperate actress having a very terrible day, and we get to go on a surprising ride with her."
Callahan adds: "Just when you think you know what she is, she's able to literally pull something out of her bag and put it on and become something else."
Warsinske worked with Callahan while studying theater at Weber State University, before moving to the Northwest and then Los Angeles to focus on film and stage work.
The character spends most of her time onstage in her underwear, which Warsinske says is the least of her worries. "It's appropriate for the character and important for the story. Her physical vulnerability goes along with the emotional vulnerability of the story."
In rehearsals, Patrick Kintz, 33, has worked to uncover the layers of his character, the frustrated director/playwright. Kintz, who was raised in New York, moved to Utah to study theater at Brigham Young University and Utah Valley University.
The actor describes his character as desperate in his own way, and even more of a misogynist than he initially appears. "It's interesting to dive into that and attempt to embody that," Kintz says. "That has been a challenge, because I am not that way."
The play doesn't let the audience breathe. "Just when you think there's going to be a lull, it jumps to a new level of energy," Kintz says. "You never really know who these people really are. You get to see so many different sides of them, and then at the end, you're left to kind of make a decision about what just happened, and why it is important for you as an audience member to have just seen that. It gives you excitement and a rush."
'Venus in Fur'
Salt Lake Acting Company presents David Ives' two-character play, which promoters label a "kinky comedy."
When • Previews Wednesday and Thursday, Sept. 25-26; opens Friday, Sept. 27; runs through Nov. 3; Wednesday-Saturday, 7:30 p.m.; Sunday, 1 and 6 p.m.
Where • Salt Lake Acting Company, 168 W. 500 North, Salt Lake City

Study: What Puts Cyclists at Greatest Risk? It's Not What You Wear
When a cyclist is killed or seriously injured, the responses you hear often pin the blame squarely on the victim. "Why wasn't she wearing a helmet?" Or, "Why was he wearing dark clothing? "
But according to a new study [PDF] by a team of Canadian university researchers, those factors don't seem to have much impact on the overall severity of injury when cyclists are hurt in collisions.
The report looked at injury severity among about 700 adults in Toronto and Vancouver who were hospitalized after a bike collision or fall. Researchers teased out which factors had the biggest impact on the extent of people's injuries.
Here's what they found.
What DID Put Cyclists at Greater Risk?
Being hit by car
Duh, of course! But this point is worth reiterating. The cyclists who were injured in collisions with cars, or by falling to avoid a car collision, were more severely injured than people who just fell, or were involved in a collision with another cyclist or pedestrian.
Riding on sidewalks or shared use paths
Researchers found that people who were injured while riding on sidewalks or shared-use paths tended to sustain worse injuries, even compared to cyclists riding on major roads with no bike infrastructure. These counterintuitive results suggest that riding in places with potential conflicts between cyclists and pedestrians can be more dangerous than people assume. An earlier study by the same research team found people riding on sidewalks and multi-use paths were also more likely overall to be involved in a collision or crash.

Canberra coach David Furner says prop Dane Tilse's return will provide more drive and experience for his side's vital NRL home match against the Sydney Roosters on Saturday.
Furner says they missed Tilse's early aggression in their 20-10 win at Penrith last Sunday.
That victory was the second in a row and five from the past seven matches as the Raiders make a late burst for the finals.
They are 10th on 24 points, two points adrift of Brisbane and Wests Tigers who are in the seventh and eighth spot on the ladder.
Tilse missed the match for the birth of his first child, Rose, on Monday and Furner was excited about having the front-rower back.
"I thought we missed Tilsey a little bit at the start," Furner told reporters on Friday.
"It will be very handy for us," Furner said.
Canberra vice-captain Josh McCrone said Tilse had a spring in his step this week at training as he prepares to get back on the field against the struggling Roosters, who sit third-last on the table.
"It is a good feeling for all the boys, not just him," McCrone said.
McCrone said the Raiders knew they had to win their last three matches to qualify for the finals given their poor points differential of minus 43 compared to the Broncos, Tigers and Knights.
But for the Raiders to continue their winning run, Furner said his side's defence had to improve after missing 54 tackles against the Panthers.
"I thought they unsettled us a little bit with their offloads in the second phase," Furner said.
"We need to make sure we lock up the ball and that will be the focus for us from the start of the game."
Furner said the ladder did not reflect the talent at the Roosters, who have won just one of their last seven games and are coming off a demoralising 36-22 loss to the bottom-placed Eels last Saturday.
"They have had a lot of close games. Don't worry about the position. They are very good side," said Furner.
The Roosters beat the Raiders 14-8 in round three at Allianz Stadium.

I read Sheila Hagar's article on the resurgence of the use of straight razors with great interest.
I've been using straight razors for the last four years. My son took up the art at the age of 17. I had sent my great-grandfather's Wade & Butcher to a friend to have the blade polished up and new scales (handles) made as the original horn was delaminating. My son was the first man to use that razor since at least 1934 as that's the year his great-great-grandfather passed away!
I contacted Ms. Hagar about her article and learned that she also had her great-grandfather's straight razor but she said it was in very bad condition. I asked her for pictures and she gladly obliged. To say that it had some problems would be an understatement, but I offered to see what I could do to clean it up some and hone it for her.
My research found this information about the razor:
Chicago, Illinois
ca. 1883 — 1897
The ca. are the years the company was in business so the razor is at least 116 years old!
Two days later I presented the razor to her, cleaned, polished and truly shave ready. The look of joy on her face couldn't be purchased for love or money! To hear her exclaim; "It's beautiful" was music to my ears.
To top it all off, she has a son who would like to learn the art and would be using his great-great-grandfather's razor to do so!
I hope he enjoys learning an older-but-better way of shaving!

Thank you Sheila and Roy for bringing pleasant memories of my childhood, and wonderfull, renewed nostalgias: "Keep quiet, your grandpa is shaving with a "Filarmonica". For a 5-6 year old it was inconceivable that a "philharmonic" could fit in the bathroom. Obviously there was no music...well, maybe there was for him.
There was my grandpa in almost a trance, shaving with a Spanish made straight razor, Filarmonica, made in Barcelona, Spain in 1920, with "Don Paco" engraved on it. Filarmonicas had been discontinued, and for the last 20-25 years.
I was fascinated by the ritual, and the meticulous sharpening with a leather strop as a "grand finale". To this day I wonder who, from his 13 children, (certainly one of the 7 already gone boys) kept that sentimental family heirloom. I wonder if one of this days I'll find it at a flee market or at an antique shop! It will be music to my ears...in more than one ways!

Update 10 - which platforms
Hi, Is there a list of supported platforms for update 10? I can't see anything in the FAQ. Primarily I'm interested if this is a windows only realease, or going to be supported on Mac OS X too? I know Apple are normally responsible for that, but they haven't a good track record with Java 6 so far...
Hi cork2005,
The supported platforms, generally, do not change in update releases, as is the case with this update release. The platforms that were supported with the 6 FCS are the same platforms that are supported in 6u10. The 6u10 release is not "Windows release only", it will be released, by Sun, on Windows, Linux and Solaris. Yes, you are correct Java releases for Mac do come from Apple, they do the porting work. And, we do not know when they will release 6u10.
Supported Platforms:
Thanks for the information. It's a real shame for Java that it's not a coordinated release!
With my webstart users being either Windows or OS X based, it means that I won't be able to take advantage of 6uN until Apple completes their port, and only then if they eventually make the 1.6 the default JVM. Something they still haven't done even with the latest OSX updates. I guess because they only have a 64bit version.
I haven't seen or heard any mention on the Apple sites that this port is even in progress. Since Apple seem to have dropped interest in Java as a supported devlopment environment, it would be great if Sun would pick up the work and restore developer confidence in Java.
Anyway, sorry for the rant. As a developer it just gets quite frustrating when OSX is still defaulting to a 4 year old VM spec.
> It's a real shame for Java that it's not a coordinated release!
> Anyway, sorry for the rant. As a developer it just gets quite frustrating when OSX is still defaulting to a 4 year old VM spec.
Well, I feel exactly the same, but as you probably know its not a shame for Java or Sun, why should Sun pay developers to do a port for a platform which is not that interesting for them.
And well, coodination - if Sun would wait for all partners, it would take ages to get something out. Just think about how long it took apple to port JDK6 ... and well, then the 64bit/Leopard issue...
After all, there's only one company which has to lern howto do their homework!

If the Monsters were gonna hurt anybody they would have probably taken you and Bobby out quite a few years ago!
They might try and get in your face and prank with you but I think actual harm is not what they are after.
That said, I also do believe that they differ from individual to individual AND under diverse circumstances, for instance, if you shoot one and don't kill it and don't have enough ammo to finish it off or take care of the 3 or 4 that are just out of sight,,,well, I wouldn't want to be in your shoes!
I believe that story from the PNW about the guys shooting one and that night boulders rained down on their cabin is probably true!

Collective Wisdom - Parenting Regrets

Mets should deal cash for bullpen help
WFAN's Evan Roberts is right when he says on air that the Mets should look for a cash-for-player type trade to bring in an over-paid veteran arm for the bullpen.
Roberts suggested Francisco Rodriguez, who will earn $8 million this year. He will be a free agent at the end of this season, during which the Brewers are six games under .500. He also suggested Huston Street, who is having a terrific season for the Padres, who are 26-47 and in dead last. Street will earn $7.5 million this season. He has a $9 million option for next season, but a team buyout for $500,000.
This past off season, multiple reports indicated the Mets had interest in Street, despite his one-time feud Bob Geren, who is Terry Collins's bench coach. The Padres eventually acquired Street from the Rockies last December.
Ordinarily, I am totally against making trades for relievers… especially in June… mostly because relief pitchers are incredibly inconsistent and rarely worth this level money.
Last night on Twitter, ESPN.com's Buster Olney said the Mets will probably wait until the All-Star break before digging in to the trade market for bullpen help.
The Mets say they have money to spend on this year's roster, and I'm sure they'd prefer to wait and see… However, their bullpen is a total mess and their internal options are underwhelming. Trading cash for a player like Street or K-Rod or someone else, who may or may not help, will at least a) add an experienced body to the roster, and b) show fans and their players that Ownership and management believe in the potential of this year's team.

The afternoon reflection of the blue sky bouncing off a small lake was hard to ignore. The lake was smooth as glass and mirrored the white clouds, and all Mother Nature had to offer.
About the Artist...Deborah Fay developed her love of photography though nature. Born in Cincinnati Ohio, most of her life was spent living along the California coast. Trips to see the Great Giant Sequoias, the breathtaking Redwood Forests and backpacking as a teenager in the High Sierras fueled her passion for nature and love of wildlife. A tree hugger long before it was cool; she decided to follow her love of nature and capture the beauty she sees in photos to share with others. Although most of her works feature Mother Nature, once in a while she will go off the beaten path and film something unexpected. In her photos of nature, she strives to let the beauty of Mother Nature speak for its self in her work. Deborah will tell...

Well, the Bruins fan who rocked the Flames' David Jones' helmet was not as smashed as the Blackhawks guy (see above), but it was still EPIC.
Nice punt by the Bruins' Kevan Miller to get this fan a photo moment for the ages…
He rocked it in style….
I wonder if he bolted with the helmet?
I would have ran like the friggin wind!

Dear Kelly,
My boyfriend and I have been together for 5 years. During that time he's been unemployed for at least 3 of them. When he's out of work he lays around and drinks, and then gets angry at me if I come home and don't have dinner planned. My friends and family constantly tell me that I need to leave him, but that's easier said than done. I'm 35 and I've already invested years in this relationship and dread the thought of starting over. Add to that, I know that he'll eventually get his act together and, when he does, he's assured me we'll get married and start a family. I'm ready to be a mom and need advice on how not to hate a man who is so selfishly unmotivated.
Hanging By A Thread
Dear Hanging,
Why in the world would you want to raise children with a man who hasn't even been a partner to you in the 5 years you've been together? He can make all the promises he wants but actions speak louder than words and he's done nothing to lift a finger to show you that he's worthy of all of the time you've invested in him. It would be one thing if, while unemployed, he worked hard around the house and yard and had dinner on the table for you when you got home from work. Instead, it seems he's gone out of his way to show you that you can't depend on him and that he's lazy and inconsiderate and definitely not good husband or father material. I'm with your friends and family, get out now before you spend 10 years waiting for a miracle to happen.

NYC in winter can be a rewarding, but trying experience. Anyone who's lived through a shut-down-the-city snowstorm knows that a cold winter's day can be the best of times and the worst of times. Of course, many people opt to leave the city entirely - either on the weekend or for the entire winter season. The NYC winter time season can mean getting away to Puerto Rico or riding it out in Manhattan - or some combination of both. Flee New York has several options for making your time in the New York winter worthwhile.
Planning a winter escape? Have a look at Weekend Travel Ideas suggestions.

If snow, mountaineering, and frigidly beautiful scenery appeal to you, then the Catskill mountains should be your destination. [Catskills in Winter]
For the polar opposite, consider a last minute flight to the Caribbean. Often during the winter, airline will slash their rate to some amazing destinations in Mexico, the Virgin Islands, and beyond.
