While Americans have once again come together to celebrate Independence Day, there are concerns about the strength of our republic. These concerns consist of a stagnant (at best) economy with millions out of work, a constantly rising national debt with no signs of slowing down, and even from the growth and power of our own federal government. What's the solution to these problems and everything else that ails us? Is the answer to be found within ourselves, to not give up and to do what we can to turn the ship around? A much better course would be to turn to the One who created us as a nation and who alone can help us and save us. In this follow-up article to "How to experience salvation," let's consider how we in the USA can experience God's salvation for our country; and we will use the letters U.S.A. to assist us.
First we must Understand. In Luke 15, the prodigal son had to come to himself; he had to see the mess he was in. He had squandered everything His Father had given him; he was hungry; and he was humiliatingly feeding pigs. We as a nation have squandered what God has graciously given to us, which is a country with the foundation of liberty, justice, and morality. As a nation, we must understand, to paraphrase the wayward son, "we have sinned against heaven and against God," for we have rejected God and gone our own way. While the son understood the mess he was in, he also understood that he could return home and to his father to ask for his forgiveness. God doesn't change; for "he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever" (Psalm 106:1). Not only must we remember His grace, but also His greatness, in that He is able to save. When Judah's king, Hezekiah, had an impending, impressive, and invading threat from the country of Assyria, he went to the house of the LORD and prayed, "O LORD of hosts, God of Israel, enthroned above the cherubim, you are the God, you alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth; you made the heaven and earth" (Isaiah 37:16, English Standard Version). Do we as Americans know this God, a God who is not only King and who reigns over all things and all kingdoms, but who is the One who is the Creator of all? King Hezekiah knew the God of the Bible, he knew God was the LORD of hosts, more than able save Judah from its enemies, no matter how imposing they seemed. We must understand that with this God, there is always hope.
Next we must Seek. The prodigal son understood he could return home and he did it. He had to choose to leave the mess he had made of his life; he had to choose to humble himself; and he had to choose to go home. The question for you, me, and our nation is: will we choose to acknowledge that we have gone away from the foundation of God and His Word? Will we continue to sink deeper in the mess we're in, or will we choose to seek God and His mercy and grace. What does it look like to "seek God"? The psalmist says, "With my whole heart I seek you; let me not wander from your commandments" (Psalm 119:10, ESV). Since our nation is in the mess we're in because we have rejected God and His Word, to seek God is to diligently obey His Word and commands. God has graciously given us His Word, the Bible, so that we would not only understand who God is but what He requires of each of us. "He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God" (Micah 6:8, ESV). It is through obedience to this and the other commands of God that we seek God, but we must turn our hearts from what we want to what God wants. If we truly want God's salvation, we must obey not only His Word, the Bible; but also "the Word who became flesh and dwelt among us," the Lord Jesus Christ, who came to fulfill the Law for each of us so that you and I can intimately know God's mercy, grace and salvation.
Finally, we must Accept. Is the United States passed the point of salvation? Only God knows, and we must accept His perfect and righteous judgment. In 2 Kings 22, the scroll of God's Word is found and read to Judah's king, Josiah. Upon hearing it, the king shows his contrition by tearing his clothes; he then says, "Go, inquire of the LORD for me, and for the people, and for all Judah, concerning the words of this book that has been found. For great is the wrath of the LORD that is kindled against us, because our fathers have not obeyed the words of this book, to do according to all that is written concerning us" (22:13). Sadly, God's response was "I will bring disaster upon this place and upon its inhabitants, all the words of the book that the king of Judah has read. Because they have forsaken me and have made offerings to other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the work of their hands, therefore my wrath will be kindled against this place, and it will not be quenched" (vs. 16-17). Though God's judgment was assured, He gave His people hope, for after His wrath had come through the invasion of Babylon and His people taken for 70 years of exile there, the LORD foretold their time of restoration. God said, "You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you, declares the LORD, and I will restore your fortunes and gather you from all the nations and all the places where I have driven you, declares the LORD, and will bring you back to the place from which I sent you into exile" (Jeremiah 29:13-14, ESV).
Because of Jesus Christ, who was sent to bear God's wrath for all of my sins, your sins, and the sins of the entire world (including sinners in the United States), we can have the personal hope of final and eternal restoration in Him. With the foundation of this truth, let us understand the mess our nation is in, seek the LORD's help and salvation for our country, and humbly accept whatever His plan is for each of us and for the United States of America. Amen.

The al-Asqa Mosque compound has allegedly been assaulted by Jewish settlers for the last two days, according to reports circulating the internet.
The mosque has supposedly and repeatedly been stormed by Israelis in the past but this is the first time it's been reported they climbed the Dome of the Rock.
The reports about the event come from Iranian.com and the Middle East Monitor. These sites appear to be run by those who have unfavorable attitudes toward Israel.
We know from past experience many radical Muslims have called for her destruction. The reports by these sites could be used to inflame Muslims and be used to bring calls for a round of renewed violence against Israel.
While it's possible the Jewish settlers did stormed the mosque and climb the Dome of the Rock it's unlikely. The reports say, the General Director of Muslim Endowments and Al-Aqsa Mosque Affairs, Sheikh Azzam Al-Khatib, has condemned the incident as a "provocative and dangerous step."
The reports also say, the Islamic-Christian Committee to support Jerusalem and its holy sites issued a press statement calling the attack on the mosque as "a flagrant violation against places of worship."
The mosque was allegedly stormed by the former head of the Temple Institute, Rabbi Yehuda Glick, who is described in the reports as a radical. He was supposedly accompanied by a journalist to document the event.
He was also reportedly joined by numerous settlers to whom he had lectured to on Friday. Jewish settlers and angry Muslim worshipers were said to have "engaged in verbal altercations."
The Muslim's claim on the Temple Mount is recent, dating back to around 1930. In mainstream Islamic writings the claim of the site being the "third holiest site in Islam is said to have been created by Grand Mufti Haj Amin al Husseini. It's reported there are no claims for the site that date before 1930.
Jerusalem has been a part of Hebrew holy works for at least two millennia and is well documented to be the center of Jewish culture and religion. Jerusalem is not mentioned in the Koran and didn't hold any special role in Islam until early last century.
Dr. Manfred R. Lehmann wrote in his article "The Moslem [sic] Claim to Jerusalem is False" said:
There were no mosques in Jerusalem in 632CE when the Prophet Mohammed died... Jerusalem was [then] a Christian city.
Lehmann also wrote, "The Moslem [sic] "claim" to Jerusalem is based on what is written in the Koran, which although Jerusalem is not mentioned even once, nevertheless talks (in Sura 17:1) of the "Furthest Mosque": "Glory be unto Allah who did take his servant for a journey at night from the Sacred Mosque to the Furthest Mosque."
But is there any foundation to the Moslem argument that this "Furthest Mosque" (Al-Masujidi al-Aqtza) refers to what is today called the Aksa Mosque in Jerusalem? The answer is, none whatsoever."
Jerusalem was captured in 638 A.D. by Khalif Omar; six years after Mohammed died. According to history until that time, Jerusalem was considered a Christian city. The Aksa Mosque was built 20 years after the Dome of the Rock, which was built in 691-692 by Khalif Abd El Malik.
When the Koran was written the Dome of the Rock couldn't be the "furthest mosque" because it wasn't even built yet. Also if the mosque is so holy to Islam, then why did Mohammed issue a strict prohibition against facing Jerusalem in prayer? The only reason it had been tolerated for several months was to lure Jews to convert to Islam, according to Lehmann's writing.

Proud Lubbockites not happy with portrayal of Kirby Hocutt's choice: Starting Five
1. Still can't believe Kirby Hocutt is seriously considering a move from the University of Miami to Texas Tech. The championship tradition in Coral Gables is simply something they can't match in Lubbock.
Not surprisingly, I touched a nerve among Lubbockites, which is apparently what they call themselves. A sample bashing from my Twitter account: "You're probably used to being called a hack so I'll refrain. But I thought facts were an important part of journalism?" — @bigWillieq
Not when they get in the way of a good joke, Willie.
There was also this from @Big12Minus2: "Bitter much? Miami's budget is small, the facilities suck, and the president looms like a shadow over athletics. "

Do you remember Me?
Do you remember Me?
Do you remember Me?
Egypt did not contain Me.
Do you remember now?
I am Isis, Queen of Heaven,
|This poem first appeared in a newsletter local to the New York City area called Our Pagan Times. Jezibell has performed this poem and another, Invocation Of The Priestess [also on this web site], back-to-back and then done a mystical dance with big gold wings.
Jezibell is a poet, actress, bellydancer, teacher, and Wiccan High Priestess who lives and works in New York City.
Jezibell has been writing poetry for most of her life as a form of both catharsis and creative expression. Her insights and imagery flow out of her spiritual life, her dance, and her wide-ranging studies of ancient history, culture and mythology, especially of Egypt, Mesopotamia and Greece. Her work has appeared in such diverse publications as Nomad's Choir, Perceptions, Xenophilia, Our Pagan Times, and Circle Network News.
Special events have given Jezibell opportunities to combine her multi-faceted interests in poetry, dance, and spirituality. Her dance performances sometimes include brief introductions with poetry to set the mood for the flowing movements of her innovative choreography. For example, she has done readings of her Isis poems, this one and Invocation Of The Priestess [also on this web site], followed by a sublime dance using ethereal, life-size golden wings. She also dances with a sword, demonstrating extraordinary balance, and does a haunting performance in a darkened room while holding candles that cast an exotic glow on her every gesture and motion. Further, she uses her dance and poetry skills in ritual and Goddess circles, as well as in her role as a teacher of Paganism at Enchantments, a well-known source of Goddess information and materials.
For further information about any aspect of her work or upcoming performances, she can be contacted at email@example.com.

Hi Folks,
I developed reports in Crystal Report XI R2 version (with service pack 6) and calling them from Power Builder 11.5. When I export the report to .csv format I see only parameter names with values (supplied to call this report) in csv file.
For eg:
Parameters are
Start Date: 01/01/2012
End Date: 02/01/2012
CompanyID: 21234
Regular output:
colum1 colum2 ...... columnn
data1 data2 ....... data-n
data1 data2 ...... data-n
data1 data2 ....... data-n
..... 10 records
csv output looks like this:
Start Date 01/01/2012 End Date 02/02/2012 CompanyID 21234
Start Date 01/01/2012 End Date 02/02/2012 CompanyID 21234
Start Date 01/01/2012 End Date 02/02/2012 CompanyID 21234
..... 10 records
Please let me know what changes should I do.
I would start with providing us with which SDK you are using, is it the .NET SDK or is it COM RDC?
How does the export work from the designer?
You may want to look at th csv export options, specifically around how it exports sections.
I am using/calling crystal reports from Power Builder 11.5. I tried with Legacy and standard mode but no luck.
Perform below steps
- export the report from the CR XI R2 designer, verify the oputput.
- View the report in the CR viewer from the app, verify the output
- Export the report through code using the ExportOptions, check the output.
You may would like to upgrade to CR XI R2 A

It has been five years since Megan Joy has graced the stage of the hit TV show 'American Idol,' but the singer's music career is just taking off.
Since 'Idol,' the season 8 finalist has been balancing her music career with taking care of her family. After two years of touring and writing, Megan Joy released her self-titled, fan funded, debut album in 2012. In 2014, Megan Joy started her own label, Loud Meow Music, with her husband, Quinn Allman (The Used).
Megan Joy released her second full-length album, 'Free to Fly,' on January 14 via Loud Meow Music.
I had the opportunity to correspond with Megan Joy through email to discuss her music, 'Free to Fly,' Loud Meow Music, what she learned from 'American Idol,' and balancing motherhood and music.
When did you know you wanted to be a musician?
I remember being really young like 6 or 7, I was singing in the mirror and I thought "I can be a star if I want". I always believed that and considered myself a musician but my dream of being a mother outweighed the dream of pursuing music so I focused on starting a family after school. I didn't actually know that I wanted to be a working musician until I had gone through 'American Idol,' the show, and was on the 'AI' Live tour…. Once I had experienced such amazing success and had found deep insight into my capabilities I knew I HAD to do both. It's been an incredible 4 years since.
Who/what has been your biggest musical inspiration over the years?
Gwen Stefani, Bjork and Lauryn Hill have been the most influential/inspirational artists for the longest amount of time in my life. I looooove them.
How did you find/develop your sound?
Because I hadn't been pursuing music before 'American Idol' I had no idea how to write songs, so I spent a year working with many amazing producers who helped me learn how to integrate my journal writing into song writing. This was also when I began learning how to master my instrument in a vocal booth. I was insanely lucky because each co-writer I worked with was amazing… and they were all inspired by me similarly enough to make the music in each song cohesive enough for an album. As far as my vocal sound I have been singing my entire life (at home to myself every day all day before 'Idol'). I love such a wide range of vocal styles that my sound just developed naturally from all the awesome influences I've had.
You released your new album, 'Free to Fly,' in January. What was the songwriting process like for the album?
It was magical. I would usually have 2-day sessions. I would meet with the producer and have a bunch of song and lyric ideas. We would spend the first day writing a song then I would come back the next day and record the song. It was super smooth and fast, it felt so easy and meant to be.
How do you think your sound/style on 'Free to Fly' has changed from that of your self-titled debut?
Well I actually wrote the songs for both albums at the same time. It was one solid year of writing and recording…..I ended up with 23 original songs. Then it was 3 years of figuring out how to release them. I met with almost every major label there was but they just weren't a match for me, I'm a mom and touring all year just isn't what I want so I had to find my own path. But my own path was one without money, making everything super complicated (of course :) I decided I had to split the songs in half and work on one album at a time so I put the darker, more emotional/ indie songs together and the upbeat, positive pop songs together. To me, my two albums are really one big project I did.
Not only did you release an album, but you released it on your own label. How did that opportunity come about?
After my experiences with co-writes and a crash course in what major labels had to offer AND my husband's experiences with being signed to a major for 9 years, we decided that if we were ever going to have complete control of our art and projects that we should simply start our own. We have a close friend who is a brilliant attorney, so we took our ideas to him and made it happen. We have endless projects to house under the label and now that my album is out we can't wait to dive into our next beautiful creations. SO EXCITED!!
How has being on 'American Idol' changed the way you think about yourself as a musician?
'American Idol' changed everything for me. Before the show I couldn't even sing in front of people, I sang to myself and my son but that was it. 'Idol' gave me my voice back. I never ever would have even considered pursing music if I hadn't experienced success on the show. Before 'Idol' I was broken and lost…..The show helped me find myself in every single way, especially as a musician.
What was the biggest thing you learned about yourself on the show?
That I am in control of my own destiny, that truly anything I dream up is possible. I had no idea what I was capable before the show and now I know I can do anything. I am deeply grateful to 'Idol' for that.
How do you balance music and touring with being a mother?
I plan to play some shows here and there during the summer when my son is out of school but touring is not really my priority right now. I want to be home, taking care of my family and house. I want to write and record here in UT (we are fortunate to have a studio in our house so that makes it easy to want to stay near the mountains and create) Now that I've experienced 'Idol,' a major US tour, writing and recording two albums, and starting my own label, I feel accomplished in understanding how the Biz works, but I desperately want to dig deeper into my artistry and make/experiment with all of the many kinds of music I dream about making. As long I care for my family AND sing/write every single day I am balanced and fulfilled.
'Free to Fly' is available now. To find out more about Megan Joy, visit her website.

If you don't know what I'm talking about go here: O'Reilly Tries to Tie Child Molestation to Ron Paul http://thetruthbyrcoldguy.blogspot.com/2012/01/oreilly-tries-to-tie-child-molestation.html
So lets investigate this a little farther shall we.
Lets take a closer look at (Bill O'Reilly's) own sex scandal with his female co-worker Andrea Mackris.
From: The Smoking Gun.com: http://www.thesmokinggun.com/documents/funny/oreilly-hit-sex-harass-suit
Based on the extensive quotations cited in the 22 page complaint, it appears some of O'Reilly's more steamy soliloquies. For example, his Caribbean Shower Fantasies (document at the bottom of this post) or the section on a Thailand sex show.
Now we all know about sex abuse of children in Thailand and about the He/She's (boys that have a sex change so they can become prostitutes because it's the only way to make a living) and of the many other countries that have child sex abuse problems (including some Caribbean countries) Go here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_sex_tourism#Caribbean
So what I'm questioning here is this.
From: The Smoking Gun.com http://www.thesmokinggun.com/documents/oreilly/bill-oreilly-calls-us-sleazy
Fox News's Bill O'Reilly whined about "very nasty stuff on the Internet about Jackson himself." (an accused diddler of children) Noting that it would be "unfair and immoral to try this case on television
Now for someone that is trying to connect the Good Doctor (Ron Paul) to a child molestation , (trying to make him look bad with his insinuations) you wouldn't expect O'Reilly to leap to the defense of Jackson, who (it has been said) prefers the company of little boys.
Now I realize that the pair of them have something in common: (they both seam to know how to make lurid sex lawsuits disappear with a wave of their check book)
But the million $$ question here is:
Is that all O'Reilly and Jackson have in common?
"Caribbean Shower Fantasies, Thailand sex shows, whining about it being unfair and immoral to try Jackson (an accused child molester) on nation wide TV."
Remember this is the same guy that is trying to make Ron Paul look bad by trying to connect him to child molestation with his insinuations and yet he is sticking up for some one that has actually been charged with child molestation? and reportedly frequenting places in the world that are at the very least questionable!....Now I'm not saying Bill O'Reilly is into this kind of sick perverted shit ......I'm just saying......If you connect all the dot's, and think about it, you can make up your own mind and decide what you think?
I have my own opinion of Bill O'Reilly, but I'll keep them to my self:)
Up Date: Now I didn't make this shit up it's out there on the net, and it just adds more food for thought. (no pun intended)"falafel" = is a deep-fried ball or patty made from ground chickpeas and/or fava beans.
The Book the girl is holding....well....I'm not even going to go there! Other than, yes he did write it and no I'm not going to buy it... I just don't want to know what's inside!
Up Date:
I just spend an hour watching You-tube clips of this guy (I honestly didn't know who he was until just a little while ago, You see, I don't watch TV because I figured it out a long time ago that TV is what someone else wants you to see and hear and reading or looking things up on the Internet is what you want to see, read or hear, that being said) I'm telling you people, I understand now why this guy has such a big following, it's not because what he says is good, true, interesting or facts it's because he's hilarious! I haven't had this many laughs since I use to watch Red Skeleton when I was a kid!
When I referred to him as a clown at the top of this post I was dead nuts right on!
But now I'm really confused because now I don't understand why everyone gets so upset about him dragging people in the dirt?? Do your self a favor and go watch some of the clips on you-tube and then ask your self, does anything this guy says really mean anything to an intelligent person???
I do have to fess up though, I do watch, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart (on the net) because he is funny and I mean really really funny! BUT (and I apologize for this Jon) I just might start watching Fox because after seeing some of the clips on this guy, I haven't laughed this hard in years!!!!
RColdguy, just my opinion but hey, I still get to have one in this country...well for now anyway.

Whatever Happened To The Bill O'Reilly/Andrea Mackris Sex Scandal?
Author: Daryl D — Published: Mar 06, 2007
BC Politics Premium
In October of 2004, the words "loofa" and "falafel" were mainstreamed into our sexual vocabulary. To the shock of some, and to the entertainment of millions, religious right wingnut Bill O'Reilly was accused of sexually harassing coworker Andrea Mackris with explicit phone conversations that were allegedly taped. Besides the use of loofas and falafels as sex objects, Bill O'Reilly had also revealed homoerotic desires to use vibrators on himself, fantasies of explicit Caribbean vacations, and a desire for Ms. Mackris to perform oral sex on him, but not finish. He also revealed some disturbing news about what Fox News was planning to do to Al Franken. To Bill O'Reilly's enemies, this news was God sent.
The reason people were fascinated with this story is the same reason they are fascinated with Rush Limbaugh's drug use, Matt Drudge's allegedly gay affairs, and the penisification of underage boys by anti-gay activist and idolized Republican Mark Foley: we love exposing hypocrites! Bill O'Reilly has used his highly rated program, The O'Reilly Factor, to criticize sexuality in the media. His favorite targets have been rapper Ludacris, Janet Jackson, porn stars, and all the other "immoral" Hollywood stars. The only Hollywood star whom he constantly praises (or at least used to praise) is Mel Gibson, the director of the anti-Semitic Passion of the Christ. The fact that Mel Gibson was going to turn Bill O'Reilly's soft-porn epic Those Who Trespass into a movie certainly helped.
On October 28, 2004, O'Reilly and Mackris reached an out of court settlement, and dropped all charges against each other. It was widely rumored that O'Reilly paid Mackris close to ten million dollars to "shut up" and destroy the tapes. The fact that the story disappeared from the media soon afterwards remains a mystery that people should question.
If the media was as liberal as conservatives claim it to be, this case would not have disappeared so quickly. Did O'Reilly pay media outlets to "shut up" just as he did with Andrea Mackris? Was the media too afraid to go after O'Reilly, who is given almost the same status of Jesus Christ among right wing fundamentalists? Did O'Reilly's lawyers stop the media from doing any more damage? The Bill Clinton/Monica Lewinsky scandal lasted years after the hearings, which backfired on conservatives. Dan Rather is still dogged by his mistakes which happened two and a half years ago. Even though Michael Jackson was acquitted of child molestation charges, the case still dogs him two years later. It seems quite odd that Bill O'Reilly's matters suddenly "disappeared."

The Bill O'Reilly/Andrea Mackris scandal not only begs for questions about it's "sudden" disappearance, but reveals, once again, how hypocritical and morally corrupt the right wing religious fanatics in this country are. Bill O'Reilly's audience not only aggressively defended him, but maintained their viewership over the years. Fellow right wing pundit Michelle Malkin, who freaks out at the mention of the words "gay" or "sex," didn't issue any condemnation of Bill O'Reilly's immoral behavior. Michael Savage, who was fired from MSNBC for wishing AIDS and death on a homosexual caller, seemed rather silent about the situation. Rush Limbaugh, who ended up being exposed as an illegal drug user after condemning illegal drug users, defended O'Reilly. George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Ann Coulter, Dr. Laura Schlesinger, and other darlings of the right wing didn't issue any condemnation either. On October 21, 2004, the fiercely heterosexual Matt Drudge tried very hard to smear Andrea Mackris.
Even though Bill O'Reilly's ratings are still high, his relevancy in the political world is arguably fading. He successfully served as the Joseph McCarthy of his time, as well as George W. Bush's media protector. But even after he fades into history, the type of behavior he exhibited towards Andrea Mackris will continue unless both political parties condemn it.

Detailed Notes

Andrew Jackson (1826 -- 1834) --- Served for two terms. He was born in Tennessee and was a key figure in the Battle of New Orleans, which was an outcome from the War of 1812. They called him "Old Hickory" because he was rough on Indians -- the Cherokee especially. The Indians had to be exiled and one of the sad moments in history for the Indians is called the "Trail of Tears."
Jackson said that treaties made with the Indians were not valid and could be broken. It was impossible for the white man and the red man to live peaceably. In Missouri they had to leave and the Choctaw were exiled, too.
Jackson was recognized and honored as a general in the military because of his skill and prowess as a military leader.
Andrew Donelson married his daughter Emily. Rachel was childless and Andrew was adopted from a close relative that had twins. Rachel had been married before to a naval officer named Timberlake. He was jealous of her because she was much younger and vivacious. When Andrew Jackson met her, she was still married since the divorce had not been finalized. When Jackson ran for president, John Quincy Adams tried to downgrade his character by attacking his wife of 40 years as an adulterous and a bigamist, which was considered a capital sin, if not a cardinal sin.
Rachel Jackson died soon after the election of a heart attack. She had been greatly vexed by the rumors and salacious slander mongering of the day. Andrew Jackson was absolutely devastated. He could hardly enjoy his residence at the White House because the rest of his family lived at his Heritage plantation in Tennessee. His first vice president was Clay and the second was Martin Van Buren. Eventually, Andrew and Emily Donelson moved into the White House, as did the Eaton's (Margaret and Secretary of War). People heard stories about Margaret Eaton and began questioning her loyalty to her husband, but Andrew Jackson supported them and their reputations. The men in Jackson's cabinet were not as gracious toward the Eaton scandal and shunned them from Washington social circles.
It was a time when federalism was replaced by the political system of democratic and republican parties. Also the issue of nullification came to the forefront especially with the Southern states and especially with South Carolina.
Andrew Donelson and his wife Emily lived in the White House, and their family grew while Jackson was president.
Another particular issue during the Jackson presidency was the issue of the Second Bank of the United States, the country's national bank. On September 10, 1833, President Andrew Jackson announced that the government would no longer use the Second Bank of the United States. He then used his executive power to remove all federal funds from the bank, in the final salvo of what is referred to as the "Bank War."
A national bank had first been created by George Washington and Alexander Hamilton in 1791 to serve as a central repository for federal funds. The Second Bank of the United States was founded in 1816; five years after this first bank's charter had expired. Traditionally, the bank had been run by a board of directors with ties to industry and manufacturing, and therefore was biased toward the urban and industrial northern states. Jackson, the epitome of the frontiersman, resented the bank's lack of funding for expansion into the unsettled Western territories. Jackson also objected to the bank's unusual political and economic power and to the lack of congressional oversight over its business dealings.
Jackson, known as obstinate and brutish but a man of the common people, called for an investigation into the bank's policies and political agenda as soon as he settled in to the White House in March 1829. To Jackson, the bank symbolized how a privileged class of businessmen oppressed the will of the common people of America. He made clear that he planned to challenge the constitutionality of the bank, much to the horror of its supporters. In response, the director of the bank, Nicholas Biddle, flexed his own political power, turning to members of Congress, including the powerful Kentucky Senator Henry Clay and leading businessmen sympathetic to the bank, to fight Jackson.
Later that year, Jackson presented his case against the bank in a speech to Congress; to his chagrin, its members generally agreed that the bank was indeed constitutional. Still, controversy over the bank lingered for the next three years. In 1932, the divisiveness led to a split in Jackson's cabinet and, that same year, the obstinate president vetoed an attempt by Congress to draw up a new charter for the bank. All of this took place during Jackson's bid for re-election; the bank's future was the focal point of a bitter political campaign between the Democratic incumbent Jackson and his opponent Henry Clay. Jackson's promises to empower the "common man" of America appealed to the voters and paved the way for his victory. He felt he had received a mandate from the public to close the bank once and for all, despite Congress' objections. Biddle vowed to continue to fight the president, saying that "just because he has scalped Indians and imprisoned Judges [does not mean] he is to have his way with the bank."
On September 10, 1833, Jackson removed all federal funds from the Second Bank of the U.S., redistributing them to various state banks, which were popularly known as "pet banks." In addition, he announced that deposits to the bank would not be accepted after October 1. Finally, Jackson had succeeded in destroying the bank; its charter officially expired in 1836.
Jackson did not emerge unscathed from the scandal. In 1834, Congress censured Jackson for what they viewed as his abuse of presidential power during the Bank War. - This Day in History

By now, most of the country has seen reports of Saturday's oil spill, which resulted in up to 168,000 gallons of fuel oil spilling into an ecologically sensitive area of Galveston Bay.
Timing is never good for such a disaster, but this spill came at an especially precarious time. The season's first significant waves of migrant shorebirds—species such as sandpipers, plovers, ducks and terns—are making their way north to the Texas coast. Many of these species use this area to roost and feed.
All sea traffic in or out of the bay has been halted and beaches up and down the Galveston Bay coastline have been closed. The impacts to nature are of grave concern.
While an aggressive clean-up effort is underway, we know there will be unavoidable impacts on habitat for thousands of birds and potentially nesting areas for the Kemp's ridley sea turtle. Some reports have also predicted the tides will carry the oil out of the bay, into the Gulf and push it south towards Corpus Christi. If that occurs, there could be significant impacts to other critical wildlife habitats, including Matagorda Bay, where The Nature Conservancy and partners just spent months rebuilding Half Moon Reef, one of the largest oyster reef restoration projects in the country.
The Nature Conservancy is acutely focused on this spill, not only from the perspective of an environmental organization, but as landowners – the Conservancy stewards two nature preserves and other conservation projects within just 10 miles of the spill—Texas City Prairie Preserve, Elm Grove and Pierce Marsh Preserve. Right now, the urgency and priority lies in cleanup; the larger conversation must continue to be how we can fortify coastal wetlands, bays and shorelines to ensure they can rebound as much as possible when accidents like this happen.
The way we do that is through conservation. This spill reinforces, once again, the urgent need to ensure that large-scale coastal restoration projects in the Gulf of Mexico and its bays and estuaries are funded, prioritized and happen in a timely manner. Specifically, restoration in the Gulf should include a significant focus on three critical issues:
The Gulf of Mexico is arguably our nation's hardest-working body of water, supporting more than 20 million jobs and adding $234 billion to our annual economy. But the natural systems that support the Gulf are vanishing, threatening not only our economic livelihood, but the viability of an irreplaceable national treasure. The Gulf has lost 50 percent of its oyster reefs, nearly 50 percent of its wetlands, and 60 percent of its seagrass beds.
The time for meaningful, purposeful action is now. The Gulf of Mexico affects every individual in this country, and it needs our help.

What's the significance of the year 1973 to the Atlanta Botanical Garden? It's actually the year that brought upon a petition by Atlanta citizens to bring about a Botanical Garden to the city, which was finally incorporated in 1976 as the private, 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation Atlanta Botanical Garden Inc.
But the year 1980 was the turning point, and in that year a 50-year lease was negotiated with the city- which secured the property for years to come. Years later Atlantans still continue to enjoy the gardens, but maybe not so much for the actual gardens themselves but for the drinks. You know, the booze. Those good ol' drinks that keep flowing on Thursdays, from May to September every year.
Of course just the drinks alone aren't worth coming out for the Botanical Gardens, but it sure does help. A number of exciting promotional activities take place, including many social events, major art exhibitions, and who'll forget their annual Garden of Eden Ball- but it's the drinks at this weekly Thursday event that Atlantans will flock to.
"Cocktails in the Garden" is the name of this event, and it happens from May to September, at 6-10p.m. on every Thursday. Mix and mingle at a beautiful cocktail party right in the midst of the gardens, while enjoying the scenery of the city from the gardens. Depending on which day you attend the cocktail party, you can catch great music played by the best DJs, chef demos, or cultural performances- but regardless on which day you attend does it really matter when there's great alcoholic beverages paired with wonderful shows, scenery, and events.
All of the garden's 30 acres are utilized as you're free to roam around anywhere you wish to with your beverages, and take in the well-designed garden. Adjacent to Piedmont Park right in Midtown Atlanta, Georgia the Botanical Garden is just one of the perfect places you may view Atlanta's skyline.
The Atlanta Botanical Garden isn't just for the warm days and in the winter it offers Atlantans a terrific holiday light show. What's called the "Garden Lights, Holiday Nights" started in 2011- with it featuring displays created with more than 1 million lights, most of them being LED. The show garnered such popularity that just in the next year it attracted 160,000 visitors and more than 1.5 million lights were used. It's much more than just a seasonal Botanical Garden, so visit anytime to find out what's next on the horizon.

HIV/AIDS is increasingly an epidemic in the black community. African Americans account for a whopping 50% of all those living with HIV today, 45% of those newly infected each year and about half of all deaths.
If black America were its own country, it would rank 105th in the world for life expectancy, behind places like Algeria, the Dominican Republic and Sri Lanka (the US as a whole is 49th).
It is past time to have some FRANK talk about HIV in the black community!

Air Bear by Joshua Allen Harris. Another cool making of video here. via core77
Gary Hustwit, creator of the incredible documentary Helvetica, brings to us his journey in discovering the world of Industrial Designer in Objectified, premiering in March 2009.
"Objectified is a feature-length independent documentary about industrial design. It's a look at the creativity at work behind everything from toothbrushes to tech gadgets. It's about the people who re-examine, re-evaluate and re-invent our manufactured environment on a daily basis. It's about personal expression, identity, consumerism, and sustainability. It's about our relationship to mass-produced objects and, by extension, the people who design them.
Through vérité footage and in-depth conversations, the film documents the creative processes of some of the world's most influential designers, and looks at how the things they make impact our lives. What can we learn about who we are, and who we want to be, from the objects with which we surround ourselves?"
Some appearing in the film are Paola Antonelli (MoMa), Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec, Naoto Fukasawa, IDEO, Jonathan Ive (apple), Marc Newson, Karim Rashid, Smart Design, and more…
This line up already tells a tale of what to expect from the film (more of a euro flavor about objects, furniture, materials, service, space, and the simple obsession with emotional design.), but I'm sure it'll be just as good as Helvetica, and if so, bravo! I cant wait to watch it! Watch the trailer above or here.
I'm off to Monterey CA for TED conference founder Richard Saul Wurman's newer "Entertainment Gathering" Conference!

Uploading photos online is very common (everyone should do this!). Creative Commons is a free way to protect yet share your photos online for creative uses while receiving credit. Sometime you receive a few emails that you ignore, and sometimes you realize Woa!!.
Meet Jeremy Keith. He took a picture and posted it on Flickr. He receives a few emails, and just says use what you want and credit me. Next thing he knows, 3 minutes into the Box office hit Iron Man movie is the picture he took being used as the background! Pretty awesome!

Shepard Fairey's amazing Barack Obama "Hope" poster the whole Worlds seen by now has been made into plug-in for Photobooth by Dubi Kaufmann, so go Obamafy yourself!
FluidTunes from Majic Jungle Software on Vimeo.
Using cameras to navigate your interface has been around for some time, but just a refresher, here's yet another one called FluidTunes! Only for MacOSX. Again cool, but overtime, I'm not sure if I'd use! Cool is not always usable in the long run, hence cool becomes uncool!
Interactive Video Object Manipulation from Dan Goldman on Vimeo.
Adobes playing around yet again with manipulating images, but this time in video! Take a peek at this video demo showing the simplicity in adding anything to an existing video which then latches onto objects without any post production. This is nothing groundbreaking since Video Tracking has been around for some time, but it's good to see a corporation such as adobe giving it a go!
Also check out Video Tracing!
Artist Sakurako Shimizu has a great set of jewelry, the Waveform Series, based on sound. She inputs noise or spoken sound, then translates that it into a wave format which is then laser cut into metal pieces turned into necklaces, rings, brooches, etc. A ring with a wave saying "I do"…pretty cool! If only there was a way to play it back directly like the top of a vinyl record!
Reminds me a bit of NewsKnitter (turning daily news into a sweater) and VoicePrints (turning your voice into a pattern for textiles)
A few months back I noticed an oozing mustard filled hot dog sliding down the back windshield of a taxi cab. I'm guessing a pedestrian threw their hot dog of the reckless taxi cab after nearly getting hit by them! This sight amused me for the next few blocks driving!

Kokuyo adds a simple twist to a highlighter pen allowing you to highlight, circle, or outline any text!
Several years ago I slammed my highlighter into a corner and left 2 jagged edges leaving vampire like tips (I might have also just carved a triangle out with an exacto blade late into a creative night procrastinating). Anyhow, I used the pen until it dried up, but I never thought I'd see this accident turn into a product! Accidents(procrastinating) are sometimes the best inventions!
Tim Brown's talk from "Art's Center: Serious Play", which I attended and blogged, is online now. Watch it above. Watch out for the finger blasters!! and yes, work should be play!

song obsession friday! (for the week ending July 26)
Song obsessions are those songs that we listen to on repeat. I noticed that my obsessions are often a week long. I also thought that other people might have similar obsessions. I've collected a panel of a few like-minded individuals and gotten their "song obsessions of the week." Quite often it's easy to explain why the song is good; it's much hard to explain why we're obsessed. Maybe you'll become obsessed with one of these.
Adrian (me): John Vanderslice – Numbered Lithograph (mp3) (buy)
With him coming down do an in-studio with me this week, there was a lot of listening to Vanderslice's new album, both because it was new, good and exciting and for "preparation". I was liking the shear weirdness of the sounds on this one anyway, but he also played it live and I got to hear it stripped down; the songwriting is solid on it as well. f
Abe Vigoda – Animal Ghosts (mp3) (buy)
nice, bittersweet tropical punk (no, not ska…). they're playing at ATA in the mission on sunday, and i'm trying my best to go.
Cracklin Moth – Eulogy for Bashu (mp3) (exclusive at HearYa)
Thanks to Adrian, I'm actually obsessed with Or, the Whale right now,. Over at HearYa, however, we recently recorded a live session in Chicago with a band called Cracklin Moth. They've released two EP's and have a unique alt-country sound, thanks to Matt Ammerman's vocals and Rocco Labriola's pedal steel. "Eulogy for Bashu" is a previously unreleased track that is glued to my ears.
Steven Jesse Bernstein – Man Upstairs (mp3) (buy)
Steven Jesse Bernstein's overly precise style promotes obsession. This tale is narrated by a man who has divorced himself from life's social obligations, yet still intensely focuses on those few interactions he can passively observe. The repetitive description of this daily existence immerses us into his routine. Eventually we become as observant and focused as he is, unconsciously becoming the characters in the story. Attentive repeat spins create as many questions as they answer, as seemingly random details are divulged like bait for a too curious prey.
Band of Horses – Funeral (mp3) (buy)
I wasn't necessarily obsessed with a song this week, but this one always seems to find its way back into heavy rotation for me, whenever I hear it I have to listen to it at least twice. I love the way it basically explodes out of the quiet parts, making me want to air-drum. The breakdown at the end adds a lot as well. It doesn't waste any time building, which I usually like, but the suddenness of it works here.
Geoff Farina – Femme Damnees (mp3) (buy)
Titled after a Philip Larkin poem, this is one of Geoff Farina's gems. Simple and short, I often find myself listening to it repeatedly. Often, I'll throw this 10-minute/4 song EP into my car CD player, and not get to any of the other tracks before I get to where I'm going.
Woo! End of July! Fun!

DENVER, Colo. - In its first non-conference game of the season the Cardinal defeated Denver 12-11. After trailing for most of the game, the Pioneers tied it at 10 with 11:18 to play in the game. The next two minutes proved to be all the Cardinal needed, however, with two quick goals to clinch the victory. A close match-up, this puts Denver at 1-2 on the season and Stanford at 4-0 overall, 3-0 WWLL.
Leading the way today with a hat-trick apiece were junior tri-captain Caroline Osterwise and freshman Abbi Hills, who each put in two goals in first half and one goal in the second. Osterwise, who led the team in scoring last year with 34 goals and 14 assists, now has 4 goals on the season and Hills has 7 goals. Also powering the Cardinal offense today were sophomore Liz Lanese and senior tri-captain Katherine Barnes. Lanese scored the first Stanford goal at 1:34 into the game and the goal at 49:27 that broke the tie. The final goal that put Stanford over the top, with 9:50 to play, was Barnes' second of the game and her eighth goal this season, the team's highest.
On the defensive end, freshman Katie Grube led the team with 5 groundballs, 2 caused turnovers and 4 draw controls. Goalkeeper Rachael Neumann finished with 6 saves in goal and rookie Sara Shamos tallied 7 saves in her first appearence for Stanford. This is the Cardinal's fourth win under first year head coach Michele Uhlfelder (Maryland '91), a former National Team player.
Stanford returns to Pioneer field tomorrow at 1pm MT to take on the George Mason Patriots. The Patriots finished last season ranked 19th nationally by the IWLCA.
Stanford 8 4 = 12 Denver 5 6 = 11
Scorers: (S) Hills 3, Osterwise 3, Barnes 2, Lanese 2, Britt, Sawyer, (D) Cook 4, Spry 3, Bodick 2, Baldwin, Blount

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – Wins in the 400-meter hurdles and 1600-meter sprint medley relay highlighted the day for Mississippi State track and field as day two of the John Mitchell Alabama Relays concluded at Sam Bailey Track and Field Stadium.
"We really came out there today and started this outdoor season off right," MSU coach Steve Dudley said. "I'm thrilled with how many personal bests we had, and I hope the momentum from today continues into Saturday."
In all, MSU totaled 17 top-10 performances on Friday.

Close to wrapping up its ninth incredible season, the CW hit show 'Supernatural' is still riding high on huge ratings and devoted fans. Even though there are some new shiny collectables on the way such as the 1967 Impala replica and a set of trading cards, over the years fans have some amazing and unique items of their own. From a 'Supernatural' version of the old 'Game of Life' to an original Magic Fingers box; fans share their stories about their prized items.
Alexis George's prized convention centerpieces
Here are two of my most favorite collectibles. I made them myself. One is the 'Game of Life' turned into a 'Supernatural' version that I used as a Centerpiece for Burbank Convention in 2012, I came in as runner-up. Same with the Christmas tree, but that one i used in Burbank 2013. I made most of the ornaments myself and collected all sorts of 'Supernatural' related items to put on the tree and onto the game board. I painted the mural in the background myself too.
Christopher Cline's handmade trading cards
I have been collecting autographs from either meeting the actor in person or through the mail for many years now. I enjoy buying packs of trading cards at my local comic book store for many of the shows that I love. However when Inkworks went out of business, they had only done cards for the first three seasons of 'Supernatural' and I wanted more. I started using a program called Fotoflexer which I can set up my layout on and then drop in pictures and lettering that I need. I then get them printed on playing card stock and either sent them in the mail or have had the actors sign them when I see them in person. During this last Vegas convention, Osric Chau really loved the cards. He said, "How can you say someone is great who's never had his picture on bubblegum cards? " Check out my website to see all my customs and auto's.
Billie Jaso's Magic Fingers Box
After watching the second season episode 'Houses of the Holy' and seeing Dean's look of pure bliss as he relaxed with the Magic Fingers, I was determined to go on a road trip and find a motel that had it; just for fun, of course. This required doing some research, but I found out that there is only ONE motel left that still has the Magic Fingers; The Flamingo Motel in Coeur d'Arlene, Idaho. The rest of the machines are being auctioned off on Ebay. The cost of buying one and installing it on my bed was about half the cost of gas just to drive there, so I bought one. And I LOVE it! It was only the first in my collection of 'Supernatural' props and replicas.
Alison Fiddy's story about her Supernatural waistcoat.
I really wanted something different to wear to the Vegas con, and found some lovely 'Supernatural' fabric on Spoonflower.com which allows you to have fabric printed from designs which people have put on their site. I ordered the fabric, and then my friend made it using a waistcoat pattern we had from previous waistcoats (I have a bit of a collection). I wore it all weekend and had some nice comments from people.
Paxton Moynihan's Plushies story
My POP! Collection has characters from 'supernatural,' 'The Walking Dead,' 'Finding Nemo,' and 'The Avengers.' I get them at Hot Topic or on Amazon. They usually stand guard around my fish tanks. Even though they're kind of kiddish, and I'm in college, a lot of people from my college collect them as well. I also two plushies that came from an Etsy shop called 'Pocketfullofplushies.' I bought Dean, and then had Gabriel specially made for me. Gabriel is my favorite character. I have some medical conditions including mitochondrial disease and a type of arthritis, and my Dean and Gabriel plushies have helped me get through during surgery a few times.

I need some sunshine
Monday, January 28, 2013
I wouldn't say that I suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder, but I do notice that when we have a stretch of bad weather (either cold or rain) that keeps me indoors for a long stretch of time, I become very moody and cranky. That is where I am today. I am just feeling generally anxious, like I am on the brink of crying for no real reason. We have had run of really cold weather. So I haven't been taking my walks at lunch. Those breaks are so key to my mental health. Simply getting away from my desk, but staying inside is not the same thing. A few minutes ago, I was checking something on my calendar and got so upset. I always look forward to my kettlebells class at noon on Mondays. That class, more than any other, sets the tone for how the week will go. It popped up that I had a dentist appointment at noon instead. I was so mad that I would schedule it for this time. Turns out, that I was looking at the wrong date. The dentist appointment isn't until Thursday. But for the brief moment when I thought this is true, I was mad and wanted to cry all at the same time. This weekend, I couldn't psych myself up for a run, so I decided to jump rope instead. After about 20 minutes, I stopped jumping at the end of a song and noticed that my jump rope, which is made of wire encased in plastic, had broken in two. I don't know if it was the cold or the hard slapping against the ground, but I had never heard of a jump rope breaking that way before. It is suppose to warm up this week and it cannot come too soon for me. I hate feeling so out of sorts.

I'm here * raises hand* :)
My friends call me Sunshine and Smiley.
No Really ma'am, What do you do to treat yourself?
Terrarium garden with a View poster behind it ? You know like a sunny place, rainbow, mountain, whatever you like.
I had a girlfriend who put in Mama Mia and sung along with the movie.
When my partner is gone, I do my "Risky Business" impression.
Sing and act silly while cleaning the house.
When you act silly/ happy even when you don't feel like it. You will. This all helps to stop the winter blues.
When I am feeling really down and depressed. I take care of our rescued animals then make up boxes of food to donate.
As long as I don't focus on "me", "ego", "self". The minute I do something totally anonymous to another. One's winter blues lift. I whole-heartedly promote random acts of kindness.
Whatever you do. If your heart is in it. There will be no room for clouds.

OMG! I can relate to this! Today we had Dr appt's and we had gotten snow and freezing rain late yesterday and overnight so we left way too early, drove an hour, had our appts and then followed with other appts and obligations. Turns out it had gotten up in the upper 30's maybe low 40's and of course up until a couple days ago we couldn't get above zero so this would have been heaven...but we couldn't be out for walks/runs etc and my husband and I were both ready to pout about that. LOL Well I guess the rain and freezing rain are coming in tonight and this weekend it's supposed drop down into the deep freeze again. If I were a groundhog I would not only head back into my burrow but I would probably dig deeper. I want spring!! sigh
Hope you can get a dose of sunshine and then we can all hope for an early spring right?

I have the same problem during the winter. I've been reading a lot about the role of vitamin D. Your body gets vitamin d from the sunlight and from many foods. I've been trying to get outdoors more and I've been taking fish oil. Fish oil has a lot of vitamin d in it, way more than milk. I've been taking the fish oil for about four days now. And I seem to be feeling a little more refreshed and happy. I've also been taking vitamin b complex. Thankfully Spring is just around the corner. I hope you start feeling better soon.

I totally get this. I'm much the same which is sorta difficult considering I'm in the rainy Pacific NorthWest! I learned eventually though that I had to say to h*ll with the rain and just get outside regardless. It's not always easy, but it's always worth it.

I was just telling my husband that I can tell the difference in everyone's mood when we get a sunny day vs. the gloomy days winter has to offer. We had a sunny day on Friday & it made such a difference in everyone's mood.
I hope you feel better & hope some sunshine is on the way!

Lana writes: "I LOVE your blog! Your finds are always stylish and I want everything you post! I was hoping that you could help me out on a fashion question. I have recently bought a dark brown handbag from those post holiday sales. Excitedly trying it on with the rest of my wardrobe, I'm having a dilemma. It's a beautiful dark brown but it seems to look awkward with black shoes, and all of my brown shoes/boots are not the exact same shade of brown. Any tips on how to wear this bag so it looks effortlessly Kate Moss? Thanks a bunch!"
I focused on shoes for this P.S. since that's what you mentioned specifically. Instead of thinking in terms of what "matches" the bag, think about colors and textures that will serve as a clever visual contrast. If a regular black leather looks a bit off, swap it out for black patent. The shine and smooth texture of the patent will look great with both the rich brown color and the supple leather. Invest in a great pair of metallic gold or bronze flats. They're always in style, go with everything, and would draw attention to bag's gold hardware. The other options are just some fun examples of colors you can play with - mustard, teal, and pinks would look fab with the rich espresso.
1 - Bottega Ballet Flats ($95)
2 - Lucky Women's Emmie Ballet Flat ($28)
3 - Geste Proposition Flats ($95)
4 - Pour La Victoire Women's Rin Open-Toe Pump ($155)
5 - Charles by Charles David Women's Haze Ballet Flat ($90)
6 - BC Footwear "In the Winner's Circle" Pump ($66)
7 - Steve Madden Trixie Pump ($80)
8 - ModCloth Proudly Posh Heel ($55)

Great product by LA dogs01/08/2013
Cell advance 880 is a great antioxidant. I have been using in for several years for all of my dogs
Excellent product by mhhatl from GA06/04/2014
My 11 yr. old Australian Shepard Mix has been on Cell Advance, at the recommendation of his veterinarian, since the beginning of 2014, right after his spleen removal. It's part of his daily regimen now and he's back to his happily spirited self! It comes in capsule form, so I disguise it by wrapping it in a small bite of plain turkey cold cuts which he gobbles down. We will continue to use Cell Advance through his elderly years!
So far, so good by homebuddyva08/09/2012
I have been giving Cell Advance to my dogs for a few weeks. I think it is too early to tell if the product is working or not. The ingredients look terrific and I was very pleased with the packaging, quality, and fast shipping. I am hoping to see an improvement in their health, particularly one who is going blind due to SARDS. I will try to update in a few months.
very good product by Jan10/27/2012
Our geriatric little dog has gotten a new lease on life with Cell Advance 880. His sensitive stomach tolerates it just fine and he's much more active and alert now.

Effective Immune System Booster by Max from Lexington, KY01/16/2010
I have been giving this product to a dog with terminal lymphoma since he was first diagnosed. He has now lived longer than was expected with the help of this product which gives the much needed support to his immune system. A very good product.
Awesome by CarolynJo from Maryland03/26/2014
Saw a difference right away in his energy level within the first few days. Feels like I'm on the right track. This website is the greatest! THANKS!
Great for Dogs by Becky G.11/26/2012
Cell advance has been wonderful for my dog. his limping has gotten better and has a little pep back in his step again. I ran out of this product for a couple of weeks and noticed he went downhill again, then ordered it and he's back to no limping again. amazing product.
Entirely happy with the whole Sale's process by DaveMac666 from Arlington, Tn03/04/2012
You never know which of the sites you can trust to follow through on the entire sales process. I would reccomend Entirely Pets for your purchases. I have used them a few times with no issues or problelms.
Necessary support for SARD's dogs by SG from France02/26/2014
This is one of the necessary medicine to maintain my dog (who became blind because of SARD's one year ago) in good shape. I used it coupled with Immugen (from Thorpe), and I have to get them from the States (I live in France), but I see how my dog recovered and is able to enjoy life again.
Best AntiOxydant supplement by snoopie from Elizabeth, CO06/06/2014
Highly approved by my Holistic vet! Contains SOD which is a super anti oxydant for older dogs! It is now part of my dog's daily diet!
A bad batch by Van from GA08/02/2013
The last order of 2 bottles were from a 1213 Exp. Date, and had started turning from a cream color to almost orange. I believe they have lost their efficacy. Under normal circumstances, this is a great product.

ATLANTA -- One way to win a game is to let another team lose it. New Orleans Saints fans know this misery more than most. For years, the Saints seemingly invented ways to lose games they should have won. They were masters at the art of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. And some of the most heartbreaking losses came at the hands of the hated archrival Falcons.
On Sunday, Atlanta returned the favor.
This time the hospitality came in the form of a gift-wrapped 26-23 overtime football victory, thanks largely to a momentary bout of insanity from Atlanta Coach Mike Smith.
Smith's controversial decision to go for it on fourth-and-inches at his own 29 in overtime will be second-guessed around these parts for a while, especially if the Falcons fall short of the playoffs this season.
Frankly, it was the kind of dubious decision Saints fans became all too familiar with during the Aints era. And it resulted in the same ignominious outcome.
"When you can defensively stop someone on fourth-and-1, that's a significant way to win a game ... an emotional way to win a game," Saints Coach Sean Payton said.
Falcons fans undoubtedly wanted to fit Smith with brown-paper headgear after the Saints stuffed Michael Turner for no gain, then converted a couple of quick first downs to set up John Kasay's winning field goal.
"To get a win like that is amazing," Saints tight end Jimmy Graham said.
Said defensive tackle Shaun Rogers, who along with Will Smith, made the double-stuff on Turner: "I'm new to this rivalry, but it was a moment, wasn't it?"
Yes, it was.The Saints have won a lot of big games in the Sean Payton-Drew Brees era but few were more satisfying than this one. On the road. Against your division rival. After squandering a 10-point lead in the final 5 minutes.
Only two weeks ago, the Saints were 5-3 and coming off an embarrassing loss to the previously winless Rams. Now they're second-lining into the bye week at 7-3 and with a comfy 1½-game lead on the rest of the NFC South.
"We found a way to piece it together and come away with two extremely hard-fought victories," Brees said, also referring to last week's win against Tampa Bay. "It says a lot about this team that we found ways to win."
Or, more accurately, the Falcons found a way to lose.
To say Smith's decision was surprising would be an understatement. It's one thing to have confidence in your offense and be aggressive. But this was downright reckless, especially considering the Falcons' defense had held the Saints to 16 yards and one first down on their two previous drives.
Smith's decision was less a vote of confidence in his offense than it was a lack of confidence in his defense. Minutes earlier, he'd sent a similar message with an unsuccessful onside kick even though his team trailed only by three points with more than four minutes to play. Clearly Smith was telling his defense he didn't think they could stop Brees another time.Smith's indecisiveness -- initially sending out his punt team, then calling a timeout and changing his mind -- didn't help matters.
Afterward, Falcons players universally backed Smith's decision and even Brees praised the call, saying it took some "steel you-know-whats" to make it.
Others, though, were rightfully incredulous.
Told that the Falcons have a history of making good on such gutsy calls, Will Smith just shook his head. "Yeah, but not on the 30, in overtime. If they don't get it, it's pretty much 'game over' in a sense. You can't put that pressure on your defense.
"If it was at the 50 we probably would have imagined they would have went for it, but at the 30, no."
In 1978, then-Saints Coach Dick Nolan went for it on fourth-and-2 at the Atlanta 43-yard line instead of punting. You know the rest of the story. The Saints failed to convert, setting the stage for Steve Bartkowski's 57-yard Hail Mary touchdown pass to Alfred Jackson in the final seconds.
The play was called Big Ben and it will live in infamy for Saints fans because it derailed the club's first real playoff hopes and propelled Atlanta to its first postseason appearance.
Similarly, the fourth-down stonewall in Atlanta could prove to be catalytic moment in this Saints season.
"It's one of those plays that can change your whole season," Saints linebacker Scott Shanle said. "When you look back at how your season went and how it unfolds, it might be a play that we can pinpoint, hey, things were a lot different because of that play."
The Saints have now won 10 consecutive games in November, a streak that dates to 2008. They've also won nine of 11 games in the series against their archrivals under Payton, including five of six at the Georgia Dome.
For Saints fans, it's a refreshing and overdue reversal of fortune. All those years they couldn't get over the hump against San Francisco in the NFC West. Just as the 49ers seemed to own Jim Mora's Saints, Payton's Saints now own the Falcons.
"It's a big win for us," Will Smith said. "It gives us the lead in the NFC South. It's against a team that really doesn't like us and we don't like them, as you can see during the course of the game there was a lot of talking and scuffles here and there.
"It's our rival. It means a lot to us and it means a lot to the city of New Orleans."
Saints defenders preserved the moment with a postgame celebratory photo at midfield. The smiles on their faces were every bit as wide as they were after Super Bowl XLIV or the NFC championship game. The Saints pulled the same stunt after last year's 17-14 victory here, an action some Falcons took offense to.
"We don't just go out there (for the photo) after any old win," linebacker Jo-Lonn Dunbar said. "It has to be something significant. It's no disrespect to the Falcons. We just want memories."
For the Saints, it's one they won't soon forget.
