THIS IS BRILLIANT! loved JW ever since the 1st day he walked on campus!
Interviewing Eddie George... Nice!
also I found this slightly educational as I had no idea Lache was pronounced "Lake"

I thoroughly enjoyed that.
Had to watch the interview with CPR like 5 times. I am still rolling when he says Jaq and the boys can't afford that.
Maybe this finally gets Ubben to Ames.
My favorite part is where J. George said, "I got this." after joking about how much better Klein and Knott were than him.

Mine too. Perfect timing.
I didn't realize Eddie George was so tall. Huge running back.
I also didn't realize Mack Brown had a personality.
This is a very fun feature. I really enjoy JW doing these. Fun to see guys like CPR let loose a little, too.
Watching this made me realize that the team/guys at media days are pretty tired of hearing about Jake and AJ. Cant say that i can blame them.

I was thinking he looked like he has put on some solid muscle in the offseason. Dude looks built.
Very entertaining stuff, good to see the guys down there having fun.
That was highly entertaining. I loved CPR's comment, "I couldn't run out of sight in a day"
Fun to see the the guys in the Big 12 have fun with other guys from other teams. As fans, we often hate other teams, but those players seem to get along pretty well.

21, still a virgin, and never had a bf
Hey everyone! Okay, I feel SO lame saying this, but I really wanna know your opinion (and if there's anyone out there in the same situation, lol). I'm 21 years old, about to graduate from college, and have never had sex (or anything close to it) or a boyfriend. All of my friends have, and even my mom has been asking me how I went through 4 years of college without dating lol. Here's the thing--it's not that I don't put myself out there; it's just that I've never been approached by that many guys. And (not to sound conceited) but I've had guys tell me that I was pretty..so why the hell won't they ask me out?!?! Is there anyone else in the same situation as me?

The Cartographers Guild is a forum created by and for map makers and aficionados, a place where every aspect of cartography can be admired, examined, learned, and discussed. Our membership consists of professional designers and artists, hobbyists, and amateursall are welcome to join and participate in the quest for cartographic skill and knowledge.
Although we specialize in maps of fictional realms, as commonly used in both novels and games (both tabletop and role-playing), many Guild members are also proficient in historical and contemporary maps. Likewise, we specialize in computer-assisted cartography (such as with GIMP, Adobe apps, Campaign Cartographer, Dundjinni, etc.), although many members here also have interest in maps drafted by hand.

I'm trying to implement an SSL client in Twisted that simply must connect to a socket and read binary data (specifically, tuples of data). I've gotten the code to a point where it seems to connect and disconnect successfully but no data is ever read from the socket.
class FeedbackHandler(LineReceiver):
def connectionMade(self):
log.debug('feedbackHandler connectionMade')
def rawDataReceived(self, data):
log.debug('feedbackHandler rawDataReceived %s' % binascii.hexlify(data))
def lineReceived(self, data):
log.debug('feedbackHandler lineReceived %s' % binascii.hexlify(data))
def connectionLost(self, reason):
log.debug('feedbackHandler connectionLost %s' % reason)
And the code that kicks it off:
factory = self.clientProtocolFactory() # a ClientFactory instance
context = self.getContextFactory(CERT_FILE) # a ClientContextFactory
reactor.connectSSL(server, port, factory, context)
However when it runs none of the received methods are called, regardless of
setRawMode. Is there just nothing to read from the server?
connectionMade and
connectionLost are called immediately when connecting and terminates with a
ConnectionDone error instance.

Another intrepid naturalist, Robert Hooke, entered the world in 1635. Among his many distinctions was his role in helping to shape the destiny of the Royal Society of London. He too contributed both to the technology and the popularity of the microscope. In his published discourses he constantly pressed readers to make extensive use of it. He first devised the concept of the cell, even giving it that name. This he accomplished in his Micrographia, which he wrote when he was not yet thirty years of age. In it he gives the scientific community the very first accurate description of cells in cork.
There has been some controversy, historically, about what exactly Hooke contributed to cell theory. According some authors, he contributed more than is commonly acknowledged. Robert Downs, for example, in his book Landmarks in Science, claims this, in quoting from the American biologist Edwin Conklin:

Hard to argue with this analysis
The first gif against Florida, I mean I already knew, but this assured me he'd be a perfect fit for us. DAT YAC
And I'm sorry, look at all these gifs and tell me HE DOESN'T HAVE HANDS!!! IT'S A GOD DAMN LIE!!!
too fat
And I'm sorry, look at all these gifs and tell me HE DOESN'T HAVE HANDS!!! IT'S A GOD DAMN LIE!!!
He has good hands, but he sometimes tried to run before he caught the ball on the easy or routine catches (concentration). He was looking for the big play. He is going to be a good one.
Yeah, the guy's drops were from trying to run before he caught it. 100% coachable
He has so much more potential
Jesus Christ, he literally...... literally...... fell down and picked up 10 yards on that play. So excited.
Nice GIF's.
One thing I notice about Benjamin (among many): He tracks the ball well.
You notice in most of his highlights, he turns around, extends or explodes, and catches the ball with the DB on his feet, or out of position.
This is because, instead of turning around early and allowing the DB to fight, jostle with him, KB just appears to turn at the right time and find the space to catch the ball.This is also cause he runs decent routes, and/can be shifty, before (as well as after the catch as we've seen).
Of course, NFL DB's will be better. However, I fee this bodes well for him in the future.
Even though it was against NC State...that crackback block just gets me so excited. Especially considering we don't have Smith for those anymore.
My favorite part: injury free in college. Built to last!

Christopher Dufault looks like your all-American second grader. But to his mother Christine, the 8-year-old is part boy and part monster. Every day a simple task turns into all out war.
"He's broken windows and doors," she told CBS News Correspondent Mika Brzezinski. "And he's so strong, I can't control this 8-year-old."
Christopher's been diagnosed with a psychiatric condition called Oppositional Defiant Disorder. Right alongside ADD and ADHD -- "ODD" is part of the alphabet soup of labels stamped on 1 in 25 schoolchildren. What does it mean? ODD kids simply defy authority.
"Children with ODD exist in every school," said Joseph Volpe, a school psychologist.
Volpe said it's not known whether ODD is biological or environmental. "It's a consistent pattern of negative, hostile, defiant, disobedient behavior and it interferes with functioning," he said.
But others disagree.
"I think it's a fraud," said Ellen Gabor, a retired teacher.
She says what ODD interferes with is teaching.
"It's an attempt to hang a medical term on students who refuse to behave themselves," she said.
She is not Christopher's teacher, but after 32 years in the classroom, Gabor has seen it all -- ADD, ADHD. And when ODD came her way, she says that's where education took a back seat to labels and affected her teaching ability.
"It's a very sad diagnosis, because the other kids could see that the authority of teacher was just withering away."
But Christine Dufault says her son clearly has a disorder. "It's real; it's beyond real."
And Christopher know he has a problem. He calls is "explosive disorder." When asked how did he know he had ODD, he said his "mom says it all the time."
Gabor doesn't buy it. "When children know they're labeled they know exactly, what they are allowed to do. A student might say to me 'I can't do that, I have ODD.'"
Christopher's mother opposes that line of thinking. "They need to deal with it. I mean, just as if it was a kid with a wheelchair or a physical handicap."
Asked if she thought ODD was a real disability, Christine Dufault says "Yes. Absolutely."
And to those who say the behavior is a result of bad parenting, Dufault replied, "It's not! And I say if you lived with him for a day, two days -- you'd know."
Christopher's label is, in many ways, a mystery, one this mother says, she can't solve by herself.

Let your skin be reborn. Placenta facials were initially tested by Russian scientists and involve applying products that actually contain human placenta tissue to the face. Most commonly prescribed for sun or acne damaged skin, the facial uses placenta obtained from Russian maternity wards that has been biochemically treated to prevent contamination and possible transmission of diseases. You'll be baby faced in no time…
Deemed nourishing and claimed to have rejuvenating powers, placenta is said to be effective due to its high protein, vitamin and mineral content that is in part a result of its normal function as a nutrient and waste product gateway for fetuses in the womb. As a human byproduct, it is also bio-identical to our physiology (rather than being a foreign chemical compound) and practitioners claim that this property helps it to be quickly and effectively absorbed.
It also contains high concentrations of the amino acid glycine, which is meant to help protect skin against nitric oxide radicals by reacting and turning them into harmless alpha hydroxyl acid (AHA). Stem cells and collagen found in the amniotic covering are also claimed to be utilized, helping to generate plump, lifted new skin cells and a healthier, youthful appearance.
During treatment, a normal facial cleansing and exfoliation regime takes place, before the placenta product is applied in the form of a mask, cream or gel and massaged in. Beauticians who offer the facial maintain that the process of cell renewal continues for around three months after your first treatment, meaning that the effects last longer than a typical facial. Celebrity fans of the treatment include Madonna, Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Lopez (who raved about placenta products in a 2005 documentary about her life), but as yet, there is no scientific evidence to support claims of its benefits.
If you're squeamish, rest assured that this facial does not smell like it's based on afterbirth, but if you're afraid that you won't be able to get the bizarre origin of its ingredients out of your mind, this treatment may not be for you.
It's said that those wishing to repair aged or damaged skin will notice the greatest difference in their skin, so if you think you can stomach it and are fed up with regular skin treatments, a placenta facial may be worth a shot.
Arsenal striker and Dutch international football player Robin van Persie tried to speed up the healing of an ankle injury by undergoing horse placenta treatment alongside physiotherapy and massage in 2009.

Your Natural Guide to Immediate Relief and Lasting Recovery from Interstitial Cystitis
Follow the 4-Steps Below for Long-Term Relief of IC Baldder Pain and Symptoms
Message from Destiny Rose (former IC sufferer and author of this website)
If you suffer from interstitial cystitis, my heart goes out to you. I know full well the sheer agony of endless days and nights of pain, not to mention the countless trips to the bathroom and the inability to lead anywhere near a normal life.
My symptoms started in 1996, after the birth of my son. I had a relatively severe case of IC for approximately 6 years. Then in 2002 I read Catherine Simone's book "Along The Healing Path" and followed the 4-step protocol outlined below.
Today I am completely symptom-free. I can eat anything I want, and do anything I want, without discomfort or pain. So there is hope! What worked for me may be different than what works for you, but I believe you have the best shot at healing if you approach it from a natural, holistic perspective, with the idea of detoxifying the body and then rebuilding the immune system.
I recommend you read all the information I've written on this page and the other pages of this website.
4 Steps to Recovery and Long-term Bladder Health
1. Read Catherine Simone's Book "Along the Healing Path"
2. Identify Your Allergens & Eat the Right Foods for You
3. Take Targeted Supplements to Reduce Pain, Inflammation & Rebuild Bladder Lining
4. Do a Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis to Identify Hidden Toxicities & Detoxify Your Body of Heavy Metals
Scroll down to view information for each step! I also suggest you visit my Detailed Supplement Guide Summary after reading the material below so you can review the function of each targeted supplement.
Step 1. Read "Along the Healing Path - Recovering from Interstitial Cystitis"
Along the Healing Path by Catherine Simone
This excellent book, written by Catherine M. Simone, is a must read for anyone with Interstitial Cystitis. I can honestly say, if it weren't for this book I would not be in the place I am today, which is completely symptom-free. Catherine Simone had a very severe case of IC, which she healed using the methods described in her book.
"Along The Healing Path" is a holistic perspective of IC with information on various alternative treatments, herbs, and natural products. "Along The Healing Path" offers very helpful tips and vital information for IC sufferers "from one IC patient to another…".
For more information and to order "Along the Healing Path", please click here.
NEW IC DVD!!! - IC Hope - From one IC patient to another..
For those of you who want to have a supportive video by Catherine Simone, we recommend her new DVD called "IC Hope - From one IC patient to another..." The IC Hope DVD was created to provide the following:
- A candid and honest look at the suffering IC patients endure
- A way to understand and treat IC from a holistic perspective
- Insight into common root causes that can be identified through tests
- Something to show family and friends to help them understand IC better
For more information and to order IC Hope DVD, please click here.
You can check out Catherine Simone's other two books as well, To Wake in Tears: Understanding Interstitial Cystitis and Awakening Through the Tears: Interstitial Cystitis and the Mind/Body/Spirit Connection.
Customer Feedback from Reading "Along The Healing Path"
"I read your book 'Along the Healing Path' about 9 months ago and followed many of the suggestions regarding supplements and other things. I wanted to let you know that I have had great success... I am currently off of pain meds, and am asymptomatic... Thank you so much for giving me hope... I never though I would be without suffering.
- Namaste, Priya O. (Posted 3/20/2012)
"Thank you for all the information you provide on your website. Just one month ago I received the book I ordered, "Along The Healing Path". I have read and re-read it, followed what it had to say, and I am symptom-free for almost a week now....
- Sincerely, Sharyn B., Long Beach, CA
"Hi Destiny. I am writing you again to let you know that I received the book, "Along the Healing Path" that I had ordered in the mail today. For the first time in 2 years I have a feeling of hope that I may benefit from the contents of this book. I was really feeling hopeless being in pain all the time. I want to personally thank you on behalf of all men suffering from this terrible disease for developing your website. I'm sure it took a lot of time, research, thought and dedication to develop. It is very thorough and informative."
"So today is the day I begin my journey to what I hope is recovery (or at least relief) from IC. I hope months from now I can write you with a smile on my face and a lack of pain in my body! You've done a wonderful thing Andrea, to help those of us who suffer from IC have hope. God Bless You for that!
Take care."
- Ron M., San Dimas, CA (Posted July 31, 2011)
"...I just wanted to let you know that I am well on my way to recovery. It's been about a year and a half and I am 90% better. I want to thank you for your encouragement.... The information that I've gained has helped tremendously, along with all the other measures I've taken. I'm living proof that you CAN get better!! Thank you for dedicating your career to helping women like me..."
- Theresa C., Austin, TX
"Your site is so informative. Using your info, I was able to recover completely from my IC bladder. Thank you!"
- Connie H., Mt. Pleasant, SC
Step 2. Identify Your Allergies and Eat the Right Foods
The first thing I did and what I encourage you to do is identify the foods that are causing you problems and eliminate them from your diet. For many of you it will seem like this will be most foods, but it is imperative that you do this so that your body has a chance to rest and heal. I did it the "laymans" way, just by noting how I felt after eating each food.
You may choose to seek professional help in identifying your allergies, but the true test is still how you feel a few minutes to several hours after eating each particular food or supplement.
For information on what foods to eat and what foods to avoid, visit our page Interstitial Cystitis Diet.
Recommended with Your Meals: Prelief® Acid Reducer
Acidic or spicy foods can often "trigger" bladder symptoms of IC. Prelief® dietary supplement takes the acid out of foods to make foods less acidic without affecting the taste. Consider it the same principle as taking the caffeine out of coffee or the lactose out of milk.
The studies and consensus are clear: Where IC symptoms are triggered by acid foods, studies confirm that nothing works on those foods as well as Prelief® with no drugs and no side effects.
Prelief® Safe Acid Reducer is a dietary supplement that is taken along with the offending food or drink. It has no negative side effects. Unlike other antacids and proton-pump inhibitors, Prelief doesn't affect your body's bacteria-killing protective stomach acid or your body's stomach acid pump. Prelief simply takes the acid out of food, when and as you eat that food.
For more info and to order Prelief®, please click here.
Step 3. Take Targeted Supplements to:
A. Relieve Acute Pain
The Emergency Way to Relieving Pain Fast!
If you are having a painful flare-up right now try this fast and effective tip:
Use Baking Soda
Take one half of a teaspoon of baking soda and put it in a full glass of water. Stir, let sit a minute, and then drink it down. You can repeat this one more time later in the day, but do not exceed 1 teaspoon per day.
Baking soda is an extremely fast and effective way to alkalize your body. It works very quickly to relieve painful flare-ups.
You can use this tip when you are having painful flare-ups, however I would recommend the alkalizing supplements listed below for long term use, since doctors have not studied the long-term effects of consuming baking soda on a daily basis.
NEW! There is now available on the market all-natural baking soda which contains no added aluminum which regular brands add as an anti-caking agent. All-natural baking soda is ideal for people with chronic health conditions because it does not contribute to the toxic heavy metal load on the body.
For more info and to order All-Natural Baking Soda, please click here.
Caution: Baking soda is not intended for long-term use. Do not use this therapy for more than 3 weeks at a time.
Take NutriBiotic® Grapefruit Seed Extract
NutriBiotic® Grapefruit Seed Extract is used internally as a support for a wide variety of conditions. NutriBiotic® Tablets contain Citricidal, which is a natural compound synthesized from the seed and pulp of certified organically grown grapefruit. This process converts the grapefruit bioflavanoids (polyphenolics) into an extremely potent compound that has been proven highly effective for numerous applications.
Grapefruit seed extract is a natural antibiotic and candida yeast fighter. Both bacteria and candida have been implicated as a possible cause of interstitial cystitis (IC).
NutriBiotic® Grapefruit Seed Extract is an extremely effective and inexpensive way to support normal bladder health functions.
For more info and to order Grapefruit Seed Extract, please click here.
Try Serrapeptase Proteolytic Enzymes
Serrapeptase is one supplement that is having tremendous results for inflammation and pain in all forms, but particularly for bacterial and non-bacterial cystitis.
This product's clinical studies and anecdotal evidence is so promising that we have included it in our support pack, and it is available to purchase separately as well. Serrapeptase digests non-living tissue, blood clots, arterial plaque and inflammation in all forms.
Besides reducing inflammation, serrapeptase helps in reduction of pain - physicians in Europe and Asia are using it as an alternative to salicilates (aspirin), ibuprofen and other NSAIDS.
For more info and to order Serrapeptase, please click here.
B. Reduce Inflammation for Long-term Relief of Chronic Pain
Get Enough Essential Fatty Acids
For the long-term relief of painful flare-ups, you will likely need to take some additional measures. You may find that even when you eat completely "safe" foods, you may still get symptoms of burning and pain. This was also the case with me.
Research has shown that inflammatory conditions in the body are often a direct result of a deficiency of essential fatty acids. As a result, I started taking flax seed oil and fish oil capsules everyday.
Essential fatty acids are very important because they suppress the cytokines in the body that produce inflammation, especially interleuken-6 (IL-6).
You can try either flax or fish oil, but fish oil is recommended since a minority of people are unable to metabolize or break down the flax oil. You can try a fish oil which comes from the entire fish, or cod liver oil which is strictly from the liver. The disadvantage of cod liver oil is that the ratio of vitamin A to vitamin D can sometimes be too high, thereby deactivating the naturally occurring vitamin D which has so many health benefits.
It is best to take your fish oil one hour before bedtime, as the omega-3 fatty acids suppress cytokines that disturb sleep.
Try Omega-3D™ Fish Oil
There is an excellent liquid fish oil called Omega-3D™ from Nordic Naturals, which is molecularly distilled and guaranteed free of heavy metals, dioxins, and PCB'S. This is extremely important.
Omega-3D™ is a purified deep sea fish oil (from anchovies and sardines) and contains d-alpha tocopherol, rosemary extract, and additional vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol). It comes in a great-tasting natural lemon flavor with no fishy taste or after-taste.
8 fluid ounces or 48 teaspoons per bottle

As another direct antidote to the pain of IC, I found that I was able to take a supplement called Activated Quercetin™ by Source Naturals, which is quercetin plus bromelain, an enzyme derived from pineapples.
This seemed to help within a few hours, giving me several hours of relief at a time. But I had to keep taking it, because if I didn't the pain would come right back. Activated Quercetin™ is a unique bioflavonoid derived from plant sources.
In human cell culture studies, quercetin has been shown to inhibit histamine release. The bromelain enhances the effects of the quercetin, making it more bioavailable. Quercetin by itself without the bromelain is not as effective.
Some people find that the only way to relieve their pain is to take pain medication prescribed to them by their doctor. I say if it works for you in the short term, that's great. But these medications do nothing to heal the underlying cause of your condition, so it is best not to rely on them exclusively.
"I love the Activated Quercetin™. I took it for my bladder symptoms and found that it quickly helped my bladder and unexpectedly helped with other allergy and asthma symptoms as well."
- M. Scheer

Also important to use Serrapeptase (see info above) and bovine colostrum (see info below) for reducing inflammation. To order any of the supplements listed in this article, please click here.
C. Rebuild the Lining of Your Bladder
In order to experience permanent relief from painful flare-ups and food sensitivities, you will need to do something to help repair the lining of your bladder.
I did not begin to experience long-term relief from my symptoms until I tried a supplement called bovine colostrum. This is one of the recommendations also found in Catherine Simone's book, "Along the Healing Path - Recovering from Interstitial Cystitis".
The Healing Powers of Colostrum
Colostrum is the first food mothers produce for their young. It is packed with antibodies and immune factors, and also reduces inflammation. One of the most important things it did for me was that it slowly but surely relieved my severe food allergies.
It took about a year, but in that time my food allergies and chronically inflamed bladder were 90 percent improved. I started out by taking only one or two capsules a day, and by the end of that year was taking eight to ten capsules per day.
I feel strongly that colostrum was the supplement that was the most important in helping relieve my IC symptoms. In my opinion, I believe the colostrum is what healed the lining of my bladder as well, since colostrum has the documented ability to heal the lining of the digestive tract.
Today, I no longer need to take any quercetin or colostrum capsules, and I only take them if I feel like I am coming down with a cold or flu, or am fighting an infection.
According to the well-known naturopathic physician, Dr. Bernard Jensen, colostrum has a therapeutic role to play in heart health, blood sugar control, and immune health.
Bovine colostrum also has powerful antioxidant properties, helps reduce inflammation, and is a source of many vitamins, minerals, enzymes and amino acids if it is unprocessed and in its original natural state.
Try Colostrum High IG™ by Symbiotics®
100% Pure Bovine Colostrum contains 90 known health-promoting components, including antibodies, immunoglobulins, antioxidants and growth factors that support the immune system and healthy cell function. You want to be sure to use colostrum that meets the highest purity standards which includes the herds being raised without the use of hormones, steroids or antibiotics.
Colostrum High IG by Symbiotics® guarantees a minimum 40% level of IgG Immunoglobulins. That's 20 times the level in normal human colostrum! As the smallest immune factor, IgG readily leaves the circulation and enters tissues that larger molecules can't penetrate. That makes Colostrum High IG an important consideration for those with GI tract stress and for athletes or others whose bodies are under physical stress. Increased immunoglobulin levels aid nutrient absorption. High IG is hormone, pesticide, antibiotic and rBST free.
High Quality Ingredients: Colostrum provides over 200 beneficial components including several growth factors, natural antibodies, immune factors (PRP's), soluble vitamins and minerals and other nutritional factors that promote health.
Use this product to help support a healthy immune system and a healthy bladder lining.

Save Money with Canadian Sourced Colostrum in Powder Form
If you're comfortable with ingesting colostrum in powder form, we suggest the Canadian Colostrum 12 oz (340 grams) jar, because it is very cost effective compared to purchasing the capsules. Also, the Canadian colostrum is equal to or better in immunoglobulin content than the native colostrum.
To purchase the powder form of Canadian Colostrum, please click here.
Suggested Use: Adult use - 1 teaspoon (1/2 scoop) once daily on an empty stomach with 8 oz. of water or place under the tongue for 30 seconds if desired.
Advanced use - 1 rounded scoop in water, milk or protein drink. May also be mixed with other foods or beverages. Take 30-45 minutes before exercise.
Another Favorite - BioActive Colostrum
BioActive Colostrum, which comes in a powder, is the finest biologically active colostrum available. 100% non-denatured, this native protein is never subjected to any heating or processing that would damage the full range of the original proteins or active peptides.
As nature intended, colostrum is designed to have contact with the oral mucosal surface before swallowing. As a consequence, this is the smoothest, best-tasting colostrum you will ever encounter.
According to the well-known naturopathic physician, Dr. Bernard Jensen, colostrum has a therapeutic role to play in heart health, blood sugar control, and immune health.
Bioactive Colostrum also has powerful antioxidant properties, helps reduce inflammation, and is a source of many vitamins, minerals, enzymes and amino acids if it is unprocessed and in its original natural state.
For more info and to order Bioactive Colostrum, please click here.
Please note: The Bioactive Colostrum powder (2.1 oz) is not nearly as economical as the NZ Colostrum powder (12 oz), however some people may find it more palatable.
Organic Marshmallow Root & Leaf Tea
Marshmallow Root Tea is an herb that is highly recommended by Catherine Simone, author of "Along the Healing Path". It is believed that marshmallow root tea provides a soothing coating to the bladder because of the mucilage found in the plant.
Recent studies have demonstrated that there is a component in marshmallow root that does effect the lining of the bladder in a positive way.
Many thousands of people with bladder problems attest to the near miraculous effects of this healing herb. The Marshmallow Root Tea I recommend is organic and contains 24 tea bags.
Scientific Name: Althaea officinali
Description: The herbal supplement is made from the dried root and the dried leaves combined as a tea.
Actions & Pharmacology: Marshmallow root relieves bladder and bowel irritation, functions as an anti-inflammatory, and soothes the lining of the bowel and bladder.
General Precautions: Marshmallow root tea is safe to use; some people may have an allergic reaction if they are sensitive to other herbs.
How Supplied: Marshmallow root is best prepared as a tea; it can be stored at room temperature and taken throughout the day.
For more information and to order Marshmallow Root Tea, please click here.
Marshmallow Root Extract
As an alternative to the marshmallow root tea, there is also a Marshmallow Root Extract by Nature's Answer.
Nature's Answer alcohol-free extracts are produced using alcohol, water and natural extractants. All alcohol and extractants are then removed through their cold proprietary extraction process, yielding a Holistically Balanced™ standardized extract. Liquid extracts are absorbed faster than tablets or capsules, and are more potent than tinctures. Holistically Balanced™ guarantees that the constituents of the extract are in the same synergistic ratios as in the plant.

D. Reduce Urinary Frequency - Including Overnight!
At last! We have found an herb, a clinically studied extract of Angelica archangelica, which recent research has found to significantly improves the bladder's ability to hold urine. In one study in Iceland, the participants taking Angelica archangelica with the most frequent nocturnal bathroom visits were able to reduce these visits by more than two times higher than the participants in the placebo group. As well, bladder capacity increased almost three times more in the angelica group.
Angelica archangelica has been used as a natural remedy for over 1,100 years. It is not to be confused with Angelica sinensis, the Chinese herb otherwise known as dong quai. Angelica archangelica works by targeting a specific pathway in the bladder that results in the production of leukotrienes. The production of leukotrienes result in inflammation, which damages bladder strength and the nerves that transmit bladder sensations. By reducing leukotrienes, angelica can stop the cycle of irritated nerves sending erroneous signals about the need to void. As well as improving bladder strength and capacity, this extract improves the ability to fully empty the bladder, leading to a more restful night's sleep.
Angelica archangelica can be used by both men and women. It shows no hormonal effects or side effects, and is well tolerated. It does not have any sedative effects, so you can also take it during the day.
Introducing SagaPro® Bladder Health
SagaPro® Bladder Health is a proprietary aqueous extract Angelica archangelica leaves, harvested from wild plants grown in the pure air and soil of iceland. SagaPro® is ideal for men and women looking for support of bladder strength and function. Participants in a recent clinical trial experienced support for healthy bladder function and reported improved sleep patterns as well.
Dosage: 1 tablet daily;may increase to 2 if desired. When starting to use SagaPro® it is recommended to take 2 tablets daily for the first 2 – 3 days.
For more information and to order SagaPro® Bladder Health, please click here.
E. Fight Bacterial Infections and Candida Yeast Infections
Both bacteria and candida yeast have been implicated in IC, even though for many people, urine tests for bacteria come out negative. It is thought that many cases of IC have "hidden" bacterial overload, and many people are put on low-dose antibiotics for many months at a time. This, of course, only serves to make any candida infections that are present in the body worse. The solution is to use natural antibiotic agents and natural anti-candida agents that will not harm the good flora in the digestive tract.
Nutribiotic® Grapefruit Seed Extract
Nutribiotic® Grapefruit Seed Extract is both a bacteria and a candida fighter, and will not harm the beneficial flora in your system. Grapefruit seed extract is taken from the pulp of the grapefruit.
Apparently it is such a strong fungicide that farmers in Florida have been known to use it on their farm equipment to ward of fungus and molds that might affect their crops.
For more information and to order Grapefruit Seed Extract, please click here.
SilverBiotics® Colloidal Silver
Colloidal silver also can act as a antiseptic or anti-bacterial solution. It targets the so-called "bad" bacteria and candida yeast, and leaves the beneficial organisms untouched. Silver Biotics® is the only supplement in North America that is EPA approved.
Silver Biotics® is your first line of defense against harmful bacteria, yeast or viruses. It was proven to be 200-300% more effective than any other silver product. Silver Biotics™ is the most scientifically studied colloidal silver on the market.
It may also be helpful to eat plain unflavored yogurt from a good brand such as Stonyfield, and to eat raw unpasteurized sauerkraut (available at Whole Foods), which is teeming with beneficial bacteria.
For more information and to order SilverBiotics colloidal silver, please click here.
F. Minimize Food Sensitivities
Use Activated Quercetin
Activated Quercetin™ is quercetin that has been activated with bromelain, and enzyme derived from the pineapple. Activated quercetin is considered to be a natural antihistamine and inflammation fighter. There are mast cells in the bladder, and mast cells secrete histamine, which why IC patients become sensitive to so many different foods and supplements. Activated Quercetin™ helps to fight this histamine reaction.
For more info and to order Activated Quercetin, please click here. To order any of the supplements listed in this article, please click here.
G. Balance the Immune System and Prevent Autoimmunity
Since IC is considered to be an autoimmune disease, it may be helpful to take specific immune-balancing supplements that are known to be effective in addressing autoimmune conditions. Most people with IC suffer from other disorders concurrently, such as fibromyalgia, IBS, inflammatory bowel diseases, and so on.
Try Natur-Leaf® Sterols and Sterolins
Natur-Leaf® is a laboratory premium tested blend of sterols and sterolins derived from pine bark. Sterols and sterolins have been shown in numerous clinical studies to modulate the over-active immune response encountered in people with autoimmune disease.
Natur-Leaf® is a quality product to promote a healthy inflammation and immune response in your body. It provides essential plant fats (sterols and sterolins, including beta-sitosterol), lacking in today's diets. Natur-Leaf® is derived from a proprietary blend of natural plant sprouts, African potato root, and tree bark (Pygeum africanum) imported from South Africa.
The sprouts are organically grown, carefully harvested, and freeze-dried for near-perfect preservation - without heat extraction! The sprouts are harvested at their peak and frozen the same day and freeze-dried immediately. The encapsulating and bottling is handled under pharmaceutical standards. Natur-Leaf® is packaged as carefully as prescription medicine. It contains vitamins, minerals, and other phytonutrients in addition to sterols and sterolins.
For more info and to order Natur-Leaf® Sterols & Sterolins, please click here.
Alternatively Use Soy-Free Moducare® Sterols and Sterolins
For those who may be allergic to soy, an excellent alternative to Natur-Leaf is Moducare®. Moducare® has been extensively studied for it's effectiveness in modulating the immune system and preventing autoimmunity. Dr. Patrick Bouic, PhD, at Stellenbosch University in South Africa, has been researching the exact combination of sterols and sterolins found in Moducare® for over a decade. There has been extensive testing and clinical trials, including double-blind, placebo-controlled studies.
This research has shown Moducare® can increase natural killer cell activity, improve the activity of T-cells and may also be effective in the management of chronic inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and seasonal allergies. Several studies on plant sterols and sterolins have been published in international medical journals.

Additional Immune Supporting Products
SilverBiotics® colloidal silver (featured above) and ImmunoPro® Non-Denatured Whey Protein Powder can also be used everyday as your natural solution to support your body's immune system. For more info or to order, please click here.
H. Alkalize Your Body
I achieved a 90 percent reduction in my interstitial bladder symptoms over an 18 month period using colostrum, and I eliminated most, if not all of my food allergies.
However, I wa still experiencing mild periodic flare-ups. This frustrated me since it didn't seem to matter how much colostrum I took, I still would have periodic flare-ups approximately every 3 months for about 3 - 4 days. It seemed I had reached a plateau in my healing, and I wasn't sure what steps to take next.
I did some more research and learned that people with chronically inflamed bladders are considered to be very acidic. Acidic bodies are toxic bodies, and excess acidity also causes symptoms of pain. When you start to alkalize your body, either by eating an alkaline diet (which most people with interstitial bladder symptoms patients cannot do) or by taking alkalizing supplements, your body starts to come back into balance and your symptoms slowly but surely begin to recede.
Alkalizing your body definitely begins to eliminate some of the burning sensations associated with painful flare-ups. In a German study on people with chronically inflamed bladder, the researchers found a substantial reduction in inflammation and pain after 3 months of taking alkalizing supplements.
Try Alkalizing Supplements
There are different types of alkalizing supplements on the market. There are alkalizing booster drops that are designed to boost the pH value of any drinking water, changing it into healthy alkaline water. The drops should contain the right ratio of potassium and sodium hydroxides to maintain the proper mineral ratio in the body.
The alkalizing drops are usually added to an 8-10 oz glass of water and you should drink at least 5 glasses a day. Booster drops can be taken with tea, coffee and juice, but not with carbonated or dairy beverages.
Besides balancing an overly acidic pH, alkalizing supplements can also replace important minerals that have been leached out of the bones and body tissues to counteract over-acidity.
People with a chronically inflamed bladder need to be very careful with what supplements they take into their bodies, since they are so very sensitive to many different agents including beneficial vitamins, minerals and other supplements.
With this in mind, the alkalizing supplement I recommend you try first are the alkaline booster drops. Drops composed of simple mineral salts with no added ingredients are very gentle and mild and not likely to adversely affect the sensitive bladder tissues..
Alkalizing buffering capsules can be taken if you have milder bladder symptoms or are not as sensitive to various ingredients. They work faster at regulating your body's pH, but are typically a stronger formula. It may be beneficial to start with the booster drops and then add the buffering capsules after a few weeks to accelerate improvement.
Try AlkaLife® Alkaline Booster Drops
AlkaLife® drops were invented by Sang Whang, a Korean scientist. He invented AlkaLife® to make alkaline water available to the general public at a low and reasonable cost.
It is designed to boost the pH value of any drinking water, changing it into healthy alkaline water. AlkaLife contains a patented ratio of potassium and sodium hydroxides to maintain the proper mineral ratio in the body.
The recommended use is 2 drops in an 8-10 oz glass of water and drinking 5 glasses a day. AlkaLife® can be taken with tea, coffee and juice, but not with carbonated or dairy beverages.
A 1.2 oz bottle contains approximately 600 drops.
For more information and to order AlkaLife® Drops , please click here.
VAXA® Buffer pH™ Capsules
Another very effective alkalizing supplement is VAXA® Buffer pH™.
Besides balancing an overly acidic pH, VAXA® Buffer pH™ also replaces minerals that have been drawn out of the body tissues to counteract over-acidity.
VAXA® Buffer pH™ buffers overly acidic residues and removes them safely from the body, while replacing important minerals that may have been leached out of the bones and tissues by an overly acidic diet and lifestyle.
The recommended starting dose is 3-5 capsules daily, depending on your level of acidity; this can then be reduced to a maintenance dose of 2 capsules daily after the first few days of monitoring your pH.

My Opinion and Recommendations about Alkalizing Supplements
People with a chronically inflamed bladder need to be very careful with what supplements they take into their bodies, since they are so very sensitive to many different agents including beneficial vitamins, minerals and other supplements.
With this in mind, the alkalizing supplement I recommend you try first is the AlkaLife® Drops. These drops are composed of simple mineral salts with no added ingredients, so they are very gentle and mild and not likely to adversely affect the sensitive bladder tissues..
The Buffer pH™ capsules can be taken if you have milder bladder symptoms or are not as sensitive to various ingredients, such as aloe vera. It works faster at regulating your body's pH, but it is a stronger formula. It may be beneficial to start with the AlkaLife® Drops and then add the VAXA® Buffer pH™ after a few weeks to accelerate improvement.

Step 4. Detoxify your Body of Heavy Metals and Chemicals
Eliminating your allergies and alkalizing your body will go a long way in ensuring a return to health. Not only will colostrum and alkalizing products assist you in these areas, but they are also gentle cleansers and detoxifiers as well.
As I said before, sick, tired and hurting bodies are toxic bodies. In fact, if there is one thing that people with interstitial cystitis have in common, it is that they have a toxic body.
In fact, according to Catherine Simone, the author of "Along the Healing Path", people with interstitial bladder pain/inflammation have pretty much the epitome of a toxic body. The more severe the symptoms, the more toxic and sick the rest of the body.
The symptoms of a severely toxic body are exactly the same symptoms experienced by people with chronically inflamed bladders, including chemical sensitivities and allergies, inflamed and irritated mucous membranes, digestive disturbances, lowered immune system, and mysterious muscle and joint pain.
Catherine Simone states in no uncertain terms that until the toxins that are causing these symptoms in the first place are removed from the body, nothing else you do is really going to have a beneficial healing effect, since the same environment that caused the immune system breakdown is still present.
To put it bluntly, adding supplements and other healing agents to a toxic body is like putting good oil in a crappy engine - the supplements simply can't work as well and won't be nearly as effective. As some people with chronic diseases have found, healing supplements may seem to work for a short time and then stop working altogether.
In my opinion, this may be why some people who have had a chronically inflamed bladder for years and seem to have very little improvement - all the good things they may be taking simply cannot work as well if the body environment is compromised.
So while I believe that taking colostrum and other supplements and using alkalizing products may definitely help over time for you like they did for me, I now firmly believe that detoxifying the body may further accelerate the healing process and reduce the time needed for healing. I found the best way for detoxifying the body of toxins is to bathe in sodium bentonite clay. This removes the contaminants from the surface tissue of the body out through the pores of the skin.
Remember, it took me approximately one year to go from being extremely sick to having mild, intermittent symptoms with periodic flareups, and then another six months to having no symptoms at all. I had not been using any detoxifying products since I had a difficult time taking anything internally, even good things like vitamins and herbs. If I had been taking clay baths, it probably would have shortened the recovery time.
Do a Hair Analysis to Identify Hidden Toxicities
A hair tissue mineral analysis (HTMA) is a simple, non-invasive screening test that can be used to find out if you have a heavy metal problem. This is especially useful if your program of supplements and lifestyle changes is not showing consistent positive results or is working a little more slowly than you would like. An HTMA test will help you find hidden toxicities, help you identify the source of exposure to heavy metals, and will suggest ways to balance the essential minerals and eliminate the toxic metals. It is important to note that may people get better through detoxification when all else has failed them.
An HTMA can give you the extra information needed to take additional control of your health. I recommend a hair tissue mineral analysis test once or twice a year as a way to receive information that you can use to fine-tune your program and hasten your return to health. For example, I myself tested extremely high for the essential mineral copper, which is a common finding for autoimmune diseases. Copper in the right amount is necessary for health, but it is toxic at high levels. I also discovered that I had toxic levels of mercury, arsenic and aluminum. I undertook a program of clay baths and an internal chelator called Body-Care™ Environmental Defense, and the toxic metals were slowly eliminated over several months. I believe it is the combination of proper diet, targeted supplements, finding hidden toxins and eliminating them that resulted in my return to normal symptom-free health.
Introducing The Comprehensive Hair Analysis by Trace Elements, Inc.
Each hair analysis contains a detailed 10-15 page report from the laboratory itself, which shows bar graph readings indicating high, low and reference range levels for toxic metals, essential minerals and significant mineral ratios. It also includes a metabolic profile, recommendations for diet and supplements based on individual results. Unlike some labs that test hair tissue analysis, Trace Elements, Inc. does not wash the hair at the lab. Washing the hair removes some of the loosely bound minerals and can reduce some mineral readings by 50 percent or more. The hair sample is prepared in their licensed clinical laboratory by using a series of chemical and high temperature digestive procedures. Testing is then performed using highly sophisticated detection equipment and methods to achieve the most accurate and precise results.
The comprehensive Hair Tissue Analysis report details graph results for 8 toxic heavy metals/elements, 15 nutritional minerals/elements, 15 additional elements, 7 significant mineral ratios, and 9 toxic metal ratios. Once you purchase the hair analysis, you will receive a hair sample kit with instructions on how to take the hair sample and an envelope to send the hair sample to the lab directly.

Try Purified Bentonite Bathing Clay for Detoxifying Metals and Chemicals
Sodium bentonite clay can be a very simple and effective way to remove heavy metals and chemical contaminants from the surface tissue of the body.
When you mix bentonite clay with water, it creates a large negatively charged surface area. When the body is in a tub of warm water, the warm water opens up the pores of the skin, and the positively charged toxic particles are drawn through the pores of the skin, to be absorbed by the clay.
Most chemical and metal toxins have a positive charge, whereas the clay has a negative charge. Thus, the toxins cannot resist being drawn towards the clay. Bentonite clay has a great capacity for absorbing and adsorbing many times its own weight in toxins. In other words, clay baths have been shown to literally pull pollutants out through the skin, getting rid of many months and years of toxic accumulations.
It is important that you find a clay that has been purified, so it contains no mold, yeast, bacteria or fungus. Also, it helps to use a clay that mixes well and disperses easily with warm water to get maximum effectiveness. Some clays do not mix well in the tub, leaving you with a cumbersome and messy clean-up.
Use EBN® Purified Bentonite Clay for Bathing
EBN® Detoxifying Clay is a simple, inexpensive, and extremely effective method of clearing the body of harmful metals, chemicals and other pollutants, all of which have been implicated in the breakdown of the immune system.
And the great thing about it is that it is not taken internally, so it will not irritate your already sensitive and inflamed bladder.
You can dump years worth of accumulated toxic metals and chemicals in a very short time, simply by taking a bath with this specially formulated clay!

Glutathione - Another Important Detoxifier
Glutathione is a short string of amino acids called a peptide. It is composed of three amino acids: glycine, glutamine and cysteine.
Glutathione is a major player in detoxifying the body of many toxic pollutants, including toxic metals and chemicals. Glutathione deficiency impairs the body's ability to get rid of toxins whether they are environmental or the by-products of cellular metabolism.
If we have low glutathione levels we slowly become toxic, storing away poisons in our tissues, organs, muscles and brain. We simply cannot detoxify effectively if our glutathione levels are too low, no matter what form of detoxification we undertake.
Glutathione is made by all the cells in the body, and is the body's master antioxidant and detoxifying agent. In one review, almost 80% of people with chronic ailments were found to be deficient in glutathione. In fact, low levels of glutathione are involved in all disease states.
Why? – because the heavier the cumulative toxic burden on the body, the greater this depletes supplies of glutathione. For example: One molecule of mercury uses up one molecule of glutathione. Since all chronic, degenerative disorders are triggered, in part, by the toxic load, it is small wonder to see why glutathione levels are such an important marker.
Glutathione is a supplement that is extremely difficult to absorb. Most oral supplements are worthless, because the digestive tract destroys the nutrient before it can be absorbed.
Supplements such as NAC can help your body make more glutathione, but the effect is mild. This is why intravenous therapy was once considered to be the only therapy that really works. There is now new technology which allows one to absorb glutathione orally using liposomal technology. The glutathione survives the trip through your intestines because the glutathione is contained in microscopic little pouches called liposomes. Thus, the glutathione enters your bloodstream intact.
According to Dr. Marcus Laux, it is important to find an oral glutathione supplement that your body can truly absorb. According to Dr. Laux, liposomes were recently tested in rigorous scientific studies, and were found to have an amazing 90% absorption rate. That's comparable to intravenous glutathione therapy, for a fraction of the cost.
A cell culture study was conducted on glutathione at the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School by Gail Zeevalk, PhD. The study showed the neuro-protective nature of the glutathione from damage due to the known neuro-toxicants maneb (fungicide) and paraquat (herbicide).
Use LipoCeutical™ Glutathione
LipoCeutical (liposomal) Glutathione is the best product on the market that provides maximum absorption of glutathione into the body because of it's liposomal technology.
LipoCeutical™ Glutathione comes in the most important form which is called "reduced glutahione" (or GSH). Reduced glutathione (GSH) can support the body's natural detoxification processes. It's also been found that an adequate level of GSH is the best biomarker for good health.

Use Sodium Edetate (EDTA) Oral Drops to Chelate Heavy Metals
EDTA is a chelating agent that can bind free metal ions that circulate in the blood stream. Traditional EDTA treatment for chelation has involved giving it to patients intraveneously. However, more recently, there has been a German-patented formula that utilizes a very dilute amount of EDTA (less than in a can of baked beans) so that no side effects are experienced and it can be used at home without doctor's supervision. The active ingredients in this formula set up shop in the gastrointestinal tract where through the Law of Isotonicity, metal ions are dumped into the bloodstream (over time) and then excreted safely out of the body through the urine and stool.

2015 City Plan
BRC consists of the main camping area formed by a series of concentric and radial streets, and an "open playa" reserved for art installations. The BLM establishes a buffer zone on the playa around the event site — no camping is allowed in this area. The 2015 Black Rock City plan is available on the Burning Man website. You will receive a BRC map at Greeter's station when you arrive.
Art Plazas
There are two art plazas at 4:30 & 7:30 and G Street, where Burning Man Arts places select participant created art pieces. New for 2015: we are adding first aid stations behind the Art Plazas on H Street.
Civic Plazas
Two Civic Plazas are located on either side of the city at 3:00 & 9:00. These are mini civic centers offering ice sales at Arctica, First Aid Stations and Black Rock Ranger Outposts. These Plazas are public gathering spaces, inviting art, performance and community interaction. Theme camps encircling the Plazas are encouraged to participate creatively in making these spaces inviting. Participants are invited to occupy and develop the Plazas located at 3:00, 6:00, & 9:00 and K. We hold most of the camping space around these plazas for unregistered camps to develop and maintain as an experiment in spontaneous urban planning and collaboration.
Walk-In Camping
A marked area immediately to the southeast of Black Rock City is reserved for walk-in camping. No vehicles or RVs are allowed in this area. You must leave your vehicle and carry your belongings to your chosen spot. The sheer difficulty of this exercise keeps this area sparsely populated. Your efforts will be rewarded with a sense of solitude unavailable in other parts of the city. (NOTE: You still need a vehicle pass to drive onto the playa, even if you're going to walk-in camping.)
Banks of porta-potties can be found throughout the city on radial streets on the blocks between C & D and H & I. The exceptions to this are 6:00, which has banks between F & G and I & J, and 3:00 and 9:00, which have banks between E & F. There are also banks on the open playa on either side of the Man, along 2:00 and 10:00 and out by the Temple. To help you find potties in your time of need, they are marked by solar powered light poles.

The Press Newspaper
The Press Newspaper
A pre-trial hearing has been scheduled for April 26 in Ottawa County Municipal Court for an Elmore man accused of posting threats on a Facebook page against the Arabian Horse Rescue Mission.
According to the Ottawa County Sheriff's Department, Shaun Harder, 23, was arrested Feb. 26 on one count of aggravated menacing , a first degree misdemeanor.
One of the comments posted by Harder on his Facebook page states: "the horses need ppl like us; the Arabian Horse rescue group needs to be slaughtered like livestock," according to the sheriff's department.
On Jan. 29, Ottawa County Humane Society personnel went to a Carroll Township farm to remove horses which were suffering from severe malnourishment and dehydration.
Forty-two charges of animal cruelty were filed in municipal court against Robin Vess, 54, who was living at the farm on Behlman Road.
Sheriff Bob Bratton said Harder has been a volunteer with the Humane Society. That agency became embroiled in a dispute over custody of the horses with Arabian Horse Rescue Mission, of New Jersey.
The sheriff said a detective from his office was contacted Feb. 19 by the Toledo office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation for assistance regarding the threats on the Facebook page.
More than 30 rescued horses were transported to the Sandusky County Fairgrounds to be rehabilitated and then sent to foster homes.
At the time, Nancy Silva, Ottawa County Humane Officer, said she and rescue team members found one dead foal at the Vess farm and three horses that were down and had to be euthanized. One horse had to be euthanized after it was taken to the fairgrounds.

What better place to display artwork by an artist whose last name is Toledo than
at the Toledo Museum of Art?
Candidates vying to be Ohio's next governor have found an issue they can agree on.
An article in the March 1 Metro edition of The Press incorrectly stated that Dr. Leah Dorman, a former veterinarian with the Ohio Department of Agriculture, was an appointee to the Ohio Livestock Care Standards Board.
She hasn't been appointed to the board. She will discuss State Issue 2, which established the board, at the Ottawa County Agriculture Community Breakfast on March 26 in Oak Harbor.
After 35 years and millions of investment, River East Economic Revitalization Corporation has closed its doors.
The East Toledo-based Community Development Corporation assisted and educated the local business community, created and maintained jobs, operated a business incubator, and redeveloped existing buildings and vacant land, in particular, brownfield sites.
A recent real estate assessment on the Lucas County website had 53 properties listed as being owned by River East Corporation, but former board members say those properties have been sold or have been negotiated for sale and are awaiting closing.
"Fifty-three properties is a lot — that basically has been whittled down to nothing," said Neil MacKinnon, an east side businessman who served over 10 years on the board. "We didn't file for bankruptcy and we worked out agreements with the creditors and everybody has been very creative working with us."
River East is best known for The Docks in International Park, the renovation of the historic Weber Block at Main and Front, Starboardside Condominiums, and its role in nurturing the proposed Marina District.

THE DARKENING SPIRIT: Jung, Spirituality, Religion
ISBN13:by Tacey; David
Nonspecific Binding

The twenty-first century could well be Jung's century, just as the twentieth century was Freud's. Jung predicted the demise of secular humanism and claimed we would search for alternatives to science, atheism and reason. We would experience a new and even unfashionable appetite for the sacred. Educated people, however, would not return to unreconstructed religions, because these do not express the life of the spirit as discerned by modern consciousness. The sacred has developed a darker hue, and worshipping symbols of light and goodness no longer satisfies the longings of the soul. The new sacred cannot be contained by the formulas of the past, but nor can we live without a sense of the sacred. We stand in a difficult place: between traditional religions we have outgrown and a pervasive materialism we can no longer embrace. These changes in our culture have come sooner than Jung might have imagined. In his time Jung struck many as eccentric or unscientific. But his works speak to our time since we have experienced the full gamut of Jungian transformations: the unsettlement of Judeo-Christian culture, the rise of the feminine, the onslaught of the dark side, the critique of modernism and positivism, and the recognition that the Western ego is neither the pinnacle of evolution nor the lord of creation. A new life is needed beyond the ego, but we do not yet know what it will look like. The outbreak of strong religion and terrorism are signs of the times, but these are expressions of a distorted and repressed spirit, and not, one hopes, genuine pointers to the future. What the future holds is uncertain, but Jung's prophetic vision helps to prepare us for what is to come, and this will be of great interest to analytical psychologists and psychoanalysts, as well as to theologians, futurists, sociologists, and the general reader.

Turning old into new is the focus of this year's Indianapolis Home Show.
Old furniture can be revived with some paint, a little reshaping and a creative vision. Wood and metal scrap that otherwise would be trash can become chic wall hangings or decorations.
During the show, which opens Friday at the Indiana State Fairgrounds in Indianapolis, celebrity guests and local presenters will demonstrate how to turn antiques into trendy new decor or how to morph a boring backyard into a landscaped retreat.
For the array of speakers, including Greenwood resident Beckie Farrant, part of the excitement of home decoration is finding an item that no one wanted and repurposing it into something amazing.

Featured guests
Ahmed Hassan
Since 2008 he and his team have surprised families with customized residential landscapes and upgraded homes on DIY Network's "Yard Crashers." Appearing at 1 and 4 p.m. Feb. 2 and noon and 2 p.m. Feb. 3.
Frank Fritz
Co-star of the History Channel's American Pickers, Fritz digs for treasure in barns, garage and junkyards throughout the United States. Appearing at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. Saturday.
Chris Olsen
A lifestyle guru and master designer, Olsen has more than 25 years of landscape architecture and interior design experience. He dares to be different in his distinctive designs, with use of color as a trademark of his talents. Appearing at 1 and 3 p.m. Sunday and 2 and 4 p.m. Monday.
Nicole Curtis
A self-taught home rehabber and designer, Curtis also is a master of salvage picking and a spirited advocate for saving old houses. Appearing 1 and 3 p.m. Feb. 1 and noon and 2 p.m. Feb. 2.
Mary Snell
The director of nutrition and wellness marketing for Marsh Supermarkets, she has more than 25 years of experience as a diet and nutrition educator. Appearing at noon Monday.
Beckie Farrant
The Greenwood resident blogs at Infarrantly Creative, where she renovates castoffs into beautiful heirlooms with her signature style. Her talents have resulted in two additional, highly popular blogs: "Knock-Off Decor" and "Roadkill Rescue." Appearing at noon and 2 p.m. Sunday and 1 and 3 p.m. Monday.
Jeremy Johnson
A founding member of the Indiana-based rock band bleedingkeys. Appearing 6 to 8 p.m. Feb. 1.
"With the economy still not making a huge bounce back, people are over it, and they want to decorate. They want to do something with their homes but don't have a huge budget," Farrant said. "They can still take the plunge."
Farrant writes the blog Infarrantly Creative. Initially founded as a way to keep friends and family updated on her family, it quickly became an outlet for her crafty projects and home improvement endeavors.
Her specialty is "roadkill rescues" — abandoned items she finds on the side of the road. She puts them to an alternate use and gives them new life.
Projects include an old cabinet-style TV that became a robin egg-blue table for her front hallway. A faded wooden bench became a child's doll crib. An ugly hutch became a stylish hanging bookshelf.
Those types of ideas will be what she shares at the show.
"I want (show visitors) to have a place at home they feel proud of, a welcoming place, even if they can't run out to the stores and buy all new decor," she said.
Frugal and green
Farrant's blog work has grown into a career in repurposing. She now writes three blogs, including ones devoted entirely to roadkill rescues and knock-off home decor.
She has become a regular do-it-yourself expert for "IndyStyle," a local television program. Over the summer, she competed on the TLC program "Craft Wars."
This will be her first time presenting at the home show, though.
"I'm not exactly sure how it goes. But I'm a very hands-on speaker. I want to do a kind of make-and-take sort of thing, where people can experience something and take those ideas home to do themselves," Farrant said.
Each year, organizers of the Indianapolis Home Show try to find trends, ideas and movements to help revamp their homes and gardens.
Much of the planning is gauged by requests from attendees the previous year, director Brent Keller said.
More and more voices in recent years have called for ways to refurbish their home economically but stylishly. So the home show attempted to put together a lineup that catered to that, he said.
"Repurposing has been a hot topic on the remodeling and home decor side. The TV industry is doing a lot of it, and consumers are saying they want to be more 'green' and a little more frugal in their projects," he said.
Celebrity presenters include Frank Fritz, one of the stars of the History Channel's "American Pickers," who travels the country finding cheap antiques or discarded items and turning them into valuable decorations.
Ahmed Hassan, host of the DIY Network's "Yard Crashers," helps homeowners turn faded yards and overgrown gardens into outdoor oases. Nicole Curtis, an interior design specialist, has built a career out of rehabbing run-down spaces and flipping them for profit.
"We want people to come down and get ideas, to take some things home from these presenters," Keller said.
Centerpiece home
In addition to the celebrity guests, the home show will feature a wealth of other displays to help people figure out their own decor.
Every year, a centerpiece home is constructed inside the fairgrounds building. Fischer Homes has built this year's version, a 5,191-square-feet house styled like a French country home. The structure is fully decorated, allowing people to see how certain decor techniques would look without having to imagine it, Keller said.
Nearly 400 companies will have displays for services such as remodeling, installing solar energy panels and reorganizing cluttered garages.
Many Johnson County companies will be represented, including Greenwood's Twisted Wick Candle Co. Co-owners Rich and Jodi Scheve have attended the show for the past four years to sell their soy-based candles.
Allowing customers to come up and smell their products in person helps them make a connection that doesn't come from products in a store, Rich Scheve said.
"It's a very, very high-end clientele that we normally wouldn't reach," he said. "We do a lot of direct sales. Also, it definitely helps us promote ourselves directly and help us get word-of-mouth promotion."

The best vacation rental in Puerto Vallarta!!
Well, I guess you know that we love our little PV getaway place, named Alondra. In our opinion, its ocean-view location, just behind the Blue Chairs and overlooking Los Muertos beach is the perfect home-base for a spectacular vacation. Of course, its gay-friendly but it's also just right for any adult looking for a smaller building that is secure and quiet and yet close to all the fun that Banderas Bay has to offer. All the romance and convenience of having your very own condo for less than the price of a hotel room and still - you enjoy a pool outside your door, a 2 minute walk to the beach, amazing sunset views, WIFI, cable, English-speaking Manager, daily maid service and night security. Why be a tourist anymore?
Now - you can check it out for yourself. All of Alondra's seductive info - video, photos, availability calendar, rates and booking info have been pulled together onto OurPuertoVallartaRental.com.
Let us know what you think!
