Cat Crap Anti-Fog
$ 6.99
Cat Crap Anti-Fog - Quantity:
Registered User Login:
- good stuffif your goggles ever fog up. you must get some of this! your goggles will never fog up again. works perfectly.
- First & Final solution to Fight Foggy Goggles!Those of us who play Airsoft know how important it is to have a clear sight of the playing field. The team who can see wins each and every match. If you are like me, you sweat, and I don't mean a little moisture either. I can play in 30-40 degree weather and beads of sweat roll down my forehead and steam comes off my head. Then my goggles fog..Ugh!!!Then I am playing blind and just another BB pin cushion. I have tried a fan kit from another site and it did not work all that great. Then I seen Shorty's had cat crap! I scratched my head and said "I have cats at home. So the solution to my problem is to just dig through the litter box." No of course not... it is just the name, and it doesn't smell half bad either. I tested this stuff out and it works great. I applied cat crap to both sides of my google lense. It is just like polishing your car. You apply it and wait for the polish to dry with a haze. Then just polish it off with a 100% cotton or non abrasive cloth. I even jogged a 1/4 mile to test this stuff and I had little to no fogging. You just need to apply it frequently between playing times or events. So each time you load a mag or gas up, just apply cat crap too. I recommend this product highly; I have used at least 25 applications and still have more then 3/4 of crap leftover. Buy it!!!
- what!First off what the **** kinda name is cat crap? Second, beside the name I love this stuff, works like a charm.
- GREAT!This stuff is great! Despite the name, this stuff has nothing to do with the brown junk that comes out the backside of a cat. It is really easy to apply, and it works really well. It is definitely worth it for only seven dollars!
Please rate!!!!!
- Pretty goodWorks decently well. However, you must reapply between games (I play 1 hour games) or your goggles will start fogging up. A cheap way of avoiding the $$$ on ESS Fan goggles.
Bottom line, ESS Fan goggles are the best solution but if you don't want to spend the money on them, this is your best solution. Just keep in mind that you have to reapply this between every game...
- excellentThis is highly effective. It works very well as a lens cleaner, as well as anti-fogging layer. I recommend a tin (stannic) oxide finish if you are looking for polishing your lenses, but this stuff causes moisture to bead up in the corners, where it is not visible (the moisture also falls off, allowing the stuff to work for even longer). Over all, great product. Much better than expensive fan goggles.
- Works every time!This stuff works every time! But you have to put it on every couple battles.
- Amazing.If you can't get your hands on the stuff that deep sea divers use, or the stuff that astronauts use...this is the next best thing. Ohio can get pretty foggy and humid, so this stuff comes in handy. 5 out of 5
- Sweet.Jersey gets pretty, humid not to mention my headwrap tends to redirect my breaths up. This stuff works wonders, no fog and as long as you buff it right, no streaks.
This is a must buy for humid climate players.
- The Best!This stuff is absolutely awesome for any type of goggles that you have. I would highly recommend getting this.

They braved clogged freeways and long lines waiting for crowded buses and ferries as a BART strike shut down the region's commuter trains. Now, as commuter rail workers threaten to continue striking for a third day or longer, many Bay Area residents are planning a Fourth of July that is closer to home and quieter than usual -- quiet, at least, until the fireworks start going off.
"There's no way we're going to go out," said Oakland resident Luis Landero, exhausted after meandering around the region by bus and carpool. "It's going to be crazy."
BART trains carried more than 182,000 riders on last year's July 4 holiday, some of them workers but others revelers drawn by San Francisco's nighttime fireworks and public and private events throughout the day. If the strike continues through Thursday, some travelers are expected to shift their celebrations closer to home.
Landero was poring over a map Tuesday morning to figure out which bus lines he would use to take his 2-year-old son to day care before heading off to work in San Francisco. After a tough commuting week, he plans to celebrate Independence Day with friends he can reach by foot.
"With all the circumstances, we prefer to stay home or go some place really close," he said.
Warm weather and fog-free skies could give many Bay Area residents a chance to see San Francisco's fireworks without having to travel to Fisherman's Wharf.
A protracted BART strike is unlikely to deter the 80,000 to 100,000 people who annually flock to the Berkeley Marina by car, bicycle and bus for a city-sponsored fireworks display there, said event producer Lisa Bullwinkel.
"You can see all the fireworks from the Berkeley Marina. You can see San Francisco's," Bullwinkel said. "It's going to be beautiful."
Others looking to see the lights over the Bay might stick to beaches and other spots along the East Bay and Peninsula hills and shorelines, or aboard a restored aircraft carrier in Alameda, where "on a crisp, clear night it's a pretty good view," said Randall Ramian, CEO of the U.S.S. Hornet Museum.
Some relief from the heat and the BART strike also arrived Tuesday when the East Bay Regional Park District averted a strike that was supposed to begin July 4, ensuring all the park district's pools and parks will remain open throughout the holiday weekend.
Oakland officials aren't sure if the BART strike would dampen attendance at this week's First Friday festival. While fewer people from San Francisco would likely cross the Bay for the event that typically draws about 10,000 people to downtown Oakland, more Oakland residents may decide to attend rather than deal with getting into San Francisco.
"We're really not sure what to expect," the city's marketing director Samee Roberts said.
Others inclined to spend the holiday in their backyards were looking forward to a break -- even if just a day -- from the transit mess.
East Oakland resident Michael Red drives across the Bay Bridge each morning to get to his job in San Francisco. Even after picking up two passengers at a casual carpool stop on Monday and Tuesday, getting through the freeway traffic this week has been a pain, he said, and he will enjoy staying home Thursday and firing up the grill.
"I'm not going to the city," Red said. "I'm barbecuing at home and enjoying not going to the city."
The region's airports were not expecting major disruptions for travelers.
"Fourth of July is not a heavy air travel week," said Kim Domeroski, spokeswoman for the Oakland International Airport. "It's usually more of a road trip vacation -- a local drive or barbecue in the backyard."
But for those flying in or out, the airport has invited more taxi and limo services and is guiding arriving passengers to BART alternatives if the strike continues.

BELPRE - Belpre City Council Monday approved the first reading to rezone property to allow a nursing home and assisted living facility to be built.
Bryan Casey, with Continuing Healthcare Solutions of Coolville, told members of council and the public who attended a public hearing prior to the council meeting about the proposed facility on the west end of Hill Street.
The company, which owns the 48 acres, asked the city to rezone the property from R-1 to R-2 to allow for the construction of the more than 50 bed live-in and 12 assisted living units facility.

Belpre Safety-Service Director Dave Ferguson discusses the possibility of rezoning property on Hill Street during the city council meeting Monday.
"We are looking to develop the land into a nursing facility with an attached assisted living facility," Casey said.
The facility would add about 75 full-time jobs to the city and would take a year to build following groundbreaking.
Members of council and the neighborhood voiced concern about the road access because there is only one way to get to the property. If there were to be an emergency, there might be an issue, they noted.
Mayor Mike Lorentz said the access likely would not be a problem.
"I don't want to develop a piece of ground that no one wants to get to," Lorentz said. "There is a total of 48 acres that can be developed in that area and need to have a reason to attract development there."
The mayor said he knows that the Ohio Department of Transportation has been reached about the possibility of opening access from Braun Road to Farson Street, which would give a second access to the property in question.
"There is a letter in play about this with ODOT and has apparently been in play for years," Lorentz said. "I am hoping it is that simple."
With the first reading passed, the second reading will be Nov. 26 and the final reading will be Dec. 10.
The change in zoning is expected to be enacted on Jan. 9, 2013. At that point the procedure to begin construction can begin, said council president Will Neff.
In other business:
* Council defeated a request for rezoning of property at 405 John St. from C-3 to C-2 following discussions.
"As elected officials of the city, I think it is our job to do what the citizens want us to do," said Councilman Larry Martin. "I have been given letters from multiple sources that would prefer the property remain a C-3."
Martin said residents of the neighborhood in question had written letters requesting they remain confidential, but stating they had multiple concerns about the changing of the zoning, which would continue to include commercial marine use, but also automobile and other commercial uses.
"There are multiple residents expressing the same concerns," he said.
Neff, who is a former safety-service director for the city, said he was not surprised residents did not want their names known to be against the rezoning.
"It is always a difficult situation," Neff said. "This isn't our first rodeo and has happened a few times before."
The issue was voted down by everyone but at-large council members Bob Wallace and Susan Abdella, who abstained from the vote because the owner of the property is her uncle.
* Council voted to cancel the Dec. 24 regular council meeting because of the Christmas holiday.

Copper Mountain features evening entertainment in the form of film and music to celebrate the U.S. Grand Prix freeski and snowboard finals this weekend.
Tonight, Taylor Guitars presents a free showing of "Waiting for Lightning," a new film that documents the life of iconic skateboarder Danny Way.
The legendary skater counts many firsts among his accomplishments: he's a multiple world record holder including distance jumped on a skateboard (79 feet), a first-round (2009) Skateboarding Hall of Fame pick, a multiple X Games gold medalist and the only person to jump out of a helicopter on a skateboard.
Way's breakout moment was when he debuted the megaramp in the now-iconic "DC Video." He used it to jump the Great Wall of China on a skateboard in 2005 - and that footage is included in the film - before the X Games picked up the megaramp idea, adding a Big Air event to its skate comps.
The film follows Way's journey from a broken home in Vista, Calif. to becoming one of skateboarding's greatest success stories, and includes interviews with Travis Pastrana, Laird Hamilton, Rodney Mullen, Mat Hoffman, Ken Block, Rob Dyrdek and Tony Hawk. It comes from the Bandito Brothers, producers of "Act of Valor," "Step into Liquid" and "Dust to Glory," in association with DC shoes, and is currently available for digital download with a DVD release scheduled for next month.
"Once you lose the fear of death, you really learn how to live," Way says in the film. "It makes you realize anything's possible."
It's an apropos choice to celebrate the calculated risk-takers of the Grand Prix, especially the skateboard fanatics among them.
On Saturday, Wild Belle, the new brother-and-sister combo of Elliot Bergman (saxophone, keyboards) and Natalie Bergman (vocals), takes the stage at Jack's Slopeside Grill in Copper at 6:30 p.m.
Described as having "a funky island twang backed up nicely by jazz and African music influences," by T Magazine Blog's Kathryn Branch, the duo was handpicked to play parties for fashion labels like Mulberry and Maje.
In November, the up-and-comers made their television debut on Late Night with Conan O'Brien, and they're set to release a first album, "Isles," on Columbia Records in March.
The siblings are originally from Chicago, Ill. Elliot Bergman is also frontman of the Afrobeat group, Nomo.

The special arrives following "Fruitvale's" strong opening box office performance over the weekend, along with increased public interest in the film, which debuted concurrently with the climax of the George Zimmerman trial.
"Fruitvale Station," starring Michael B. Jordan in a breakout performance, is based on the true story of Oscar Grant, a 22-year-old black man who, while unarmed, was shot to death by a white BART police officer.
The film picked up major awards at this year's Sundance Film Festival and has received mainly glowing reviews from critics. The TV special traces the journey of director Ryan Coogler's saga from production to Sundance to Cannes and beyond.
"Fruitvale Station" opened in just seven theaters this past weekend, including three in the Bay Area. According to the Los Angeles Times, the Weinstein Co., which distributed the film, estimated it would collect $377,285 by weekend's end. That would amount to a $53,898 per-theater average -- the third-highest of the year for a film in limited release.
"Fruitvale Station" will go to an additional six cities next weekend before opening wide July 26.

Technological tendencies have dramatically affected the ways in which couples meet, break up and "bounce back." Bryan Poyser (director of Lovers of Hate, which screened at Sundance) interweaves texting and Facebook flawlessly into one turbulent Austin weekend. With the sort of witty repartee and shenanigans one might expect from a Kevin Smith film, Poyser's work moves into the digital era, with text messaging and a Facebook post galvanizing the plot. We don't realize truly how much these phenomena shape interpersonal relationships.
Cathy and Stan amicably parted ways from a successful romance due to career opportunities on opposing coasts. After six months of longing, it seems they have agreed to not stay in touch or try the "long distance" thing. Moving on seemed the best option. Out in L.A., not as successful as he had hoped, Stan plops in front of his laptop and his heart soars as he sees that Cathy will be back in their hometown visiting Kara, a member of their tight-knit circle of friends. He decides it's worth an $800 airfare it to "run into" her. The breakup of Cathy and Stan led to the breakup of their respective best friends, causing all four to claim allegiances, yet all try to secretly fulfill their agendas through private texts to one another. Miscommunication and misunderstandings, of course, result. One very honest scene stands out, illustrating the excitement and anticipation of hearing the "new text" notification on your phone from someone attractive you just met.
Austin plays a fifth character in this tale as old stomping grounds ignite old feelings for the ex-couples, forcing them to re-evaluate their decisions, while new adventures such as the Air Sex World Championships reinforce dormant passions.

"The quality and style of our invitations are wonderful. The black and pink are not as vibrant as shown - sort of chalkboard black and lighter pink. Loved the ease of personalizing and ordering. Had to call several times with concerns regarding shipping due to a short time frame and the customer service was amazing! We received our invites as ordered in two days! Highly recommend using them for all wedding invites!"
"This invitation was very easy to personalize and the final product is excellent. I was concerned about shipping time so I paid for expedited shipping. The invitations arrived in perfect condition in just 3 days."
"I just loved these invitations! Great quality paper, very thick. Worth the price. Shipping was very fast. Can't wait to mail them to the guests! I ordered my wedding invitations from Wedding Paper Divas a few years ago and was very happy."
"I was very happy when I received these because the invitations were more of a quality card stock rather than cheap paper. You will need to play around with fonts to ensure that the size will be big enough for readers see. My return address labels were very hard to read because the font was so small! There were few options. But I felt the color on the screen was true to what was on paper. I ordered the pink background."
"I am very pleased with this lovely card. It is very professional looking and elegant. The quality of the print and the card stock are outstanding. I was pleased with the color options for the front and the back of the card."

Budget Negotiators See Tax Overhaul Up Next
Having negotiated a big budget deal, House Budget Committee Chairman Rep. Paul Ryan (R., Wis.) and Senate Budget Chairwoman Patty Murray (D., Wash.) think the next area for bipartisan agreement could be on a tax overhaul.
In a joint, pretaped appearance on NBC's "Meet the Press" Sunday morning, Mr. Ryan said Republicans want to move on a tax overhaul and could do so early next year.
"I'm hopeful, as a Ways and Means member as well, that we can start moving tax reform legislation," Mr. Ryan said.
"Watch the Ways and Means Committee in the first quarter of next year," he said. "We're going to be advancing tax reform legislation because we think that's a key ingredient to getting people back to work, to increasing take-home pay, to … grow this economy."
Ms. Murray, sitting beside Mr. Ryan in the room where they hashed out the budget deal, said she agreed it is time for action.
"I would agree with the chairman [Ryan] that we do need to do tax reform," she said. "Ron Wyden, friend of yours, said the other day that the tax code is 100 years old and it looks like it," Ms. Murray added, referring to the liberal Democratic senator from Oregon.
Still, the two lawmakers aren't completely aligned on the matter. Asked if they could "raise money from a tax overhaul and bring down the debt, divisions emerged.
"We'll have to disagree about that," said Mr. Ryan.
"So, where the divide comes is what you would do with any revenue that was generated from that," Ms. Murray said. "But that doesn't mean we couldn't ever find a compromise with that. It would be an intense discussion. There was intense discussions in here, in this room. But yes, you can find that ground."
Despite the two lawmakers' agreement on the need for a tax overhaul, the way forward remains highly uncertain. Democrats and Republicans actually disagree on whether it should raise revenue for the government. And without a concerted effort by the White House, many Republicans are reluctant to push their own legislation because it would require them to cast politically difficult votes to limit popular deductions. An overhaul has been under serious consideration for a couple of years.
The grim outlook for a grand bargain could also stall a tax overhaul, since the latter could be part of the former.
When asked on Fox News Sunday if a grand bargain is possible or if the differences on things such as entitlement cuts and tax revenue increases are just too big, Mr. Ryan was skeptical.
"I don't think with this president or this Senate we're going to have something like that. That's why I think we [Republicans] need to win a couple of elections," he said.

Today's letters: School funding
Published: Sunday, May 19, 2013 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, May 17, 2013 at 6:32 p.m.
To the editor: On May 14, the Times-News reported that the Henderson County Board of Public Education was submitting its budget to the County Board of Commissioners for $22 million, which is trying to be sensitive to the desires of the commissioners.
Recent financial cutbacks have already resulted in cuts to books, supplies and materials. The school board chairman said, There are not a lot of other things to cut other than people. Another school board member said, I am very against losing any TAs (teacher assistants). Its going to devastate our students.
At the meeting of the Henderson County Board of Commissioners on Wednesday, during public comments, the commissioners were asked, Individually and collectively, as our elected representatives, what are you doing in collaboration with our elected representatives in Raleigh and Washington to end this loss of financial resources to our children in public schools?
No response. Zero. Nothing!
Your electorate is waiting for a response.
Clay Eddleman
Predatory loans
To the editor: On May 3, two articles about interest rates appeared in the news media. One referenced a record low 2.56 percent on the 15-year mortgage rate. Great for the ones of us who have mortgages on our homes.
The other was about consumer loan rate changes getting initial approval in the N.C. Senate. It will increase the amount that the most vulnerable of our citizens can borrow and higher interest rates, when the cost of capital is at an all-time low.
Lets see now banks can make a profit at 2.56 percent on mortgages but need 30 percent from our most desperate people. This is obscene. How can these people do this? And why do we keep electing them?
And note the cute name. Consumer loans. But you couldnt call them what they are. Even politicians wouldnt want to be connected to predatory loans.
Ill bet these are the same politicians who reduced spending to preschool programs. Now that weve got em down, lets keep em down.
Steve English
Gun control
To the editor: There have been so many letters wanting to restrict guns. The latest one from a May 12 letter says we should do this because they have killed more people than terrorists. Wow! So lets ban knives and cars. Each has killed more people than guns.
The Islamic terrorists want to take us over, but lets ignore them, while guns dont do anything unless an evil person uses them. So lets just worry about the guns themselves, not the evil people using them. Does anyone think that makes any sense?
If you wanted to commit a crime with a gun, would you go to a place where everyone is carrying a gun or a place where they are banned? And we wonder why there are gun shootings in schools. Enough said.

LOS ANGELES -- Hunter Pence shies away from personal accolades, but he pulled up his highlight reel a few weeks back and had what he calls a "dig-me session," watching all of his homers to remember how strong he has felt at the plate at times.
On Saturday, Pence told first baseman Brandon Belt to do the same. After the way Pence and Belt bashed the rival Los Angeles Dodgers, the Giants may need to purchase a few more video screens. The "dig-me session" twins combined for 13 RBIs in a historic 19-3 win at Dodger Stadium. The 19 runs set a Dodger Stadium record and were the most by the Giants since 1990.
"It's good to have a game when you can relax," manager Bruce Bochy said, smiling.
The lineup never did, scoring in seven of the nine innings and plating multiple runs in six of those frames. The Giants had 22 hits, the loudest being Pence's grand slam in the fifth, the first by the Giants this season. As his first foray into free agency approaches, Pence has repeatedly stressed that he would like to stay with the Giants. The feeling is mutual.
"He's a guy we think a lot of," Bochy said. "That's going to be addressed here soon."
After the first seven-RBI game of his career, Pence reiterated his stance.
"I know on my side, I love it here," he said. "I love playing for Bochy. I love this city. For them to want me means a lot."
The Giants don't just want Pence, they need him. A year after making a postseason splash with his inspirational speeches, Pence is making a difference at the plate. He ranks eighth in the National League with 89 RBIs and is tied for eighth with 23 homers. As a durable (he has started 158 consecutive games), power-hitting outfielder, Pence was already headed for a big payday, but the price seems to rise every day. In his past five games, Pence has four homers and 16 RBIs.
"I don't think I've ever had a run like this," he said.
He became just the sixth player to pile up at least seven RBIs at Dodger Stadium, but Belt nearly added his name to the list. The first baseman followed his "dig-me session" with a career night, driving in a personal best six runs on a career-high five hits, including a two-run homer.
"I'm a little embarrassed that I couldn't be the top RBI guy tonight," he said, laughing. "But no, it was pretty cool. To come out here and do something like that is a lot of fun. It's definitely nice to do it here in L.A."
Belt added that it was nice to pick up a victory and make sure the Dodgers can't clinch the National League West this weekend. The Dodgers will likely celebrate this week, but that hardly mattered to the Giants on Saturday as they put a beating on their fiercest rivals and took an 8-7 lead in the season series.
Told that his lineup, which has struggled most of the season, set a Dodger Stadium record for runs, Bochy paused.
"Really?" he said. "Go figure ..."
The final touches came with the Dodger essentially facing the Fresno Grizzlies. Even then, the runs kept coming. Johnny Monell and Ehire Adrianza, both recently called up from Triple-A, picked up their first career hits as the Giants added seven runs in the final three innings.
"You're happy for a lot of guys," Pence said. "There were a lot of great things happening and a lot of things to appreciate."
The Giants will soon show their appreciation for Pence in the form of a contract offer, and they might do the same for Tim Lincecum, who gave up three runs over six innings to reach 10 wins for the sixth straight season. On this night, even Lincecum joined the hit parade, lining a pair of singles down the left field line.
"I don't know what happened with me," he said. "Half the time I just swing and hope. Today I ran into the ball more than usual. That's the only way to explain it."
Lincecum, like Pence, will be a free agent when the season is over. Both players have said they have tried to block out rumors and any thought about how their performances on the field may affect their markets. That's often hard to believe when millions of dollars are at stake, but after one of the best nights of his right fielder's career, Bochy said he truly doesn't believe that Pence is thinking selfishly.
"I've said so many good adjectives about him," Bochy said. "He's a guy who has been out there every day and you appreciate his intensity on a daily basis."

Control Through Time and Patterns
We are controlled in time by patterns . any good prison can illustrate this, and any good assassin or police man knows that to make a successful hit, he must first study his victim's patterns. Those who move in patteerns can be controlled...or terminated
Music has become a control process. it can function to make boring routine work bearable (muzak) to market products (things or people), as a status ritual (opera) or as a safty valve for the known percentage of rebels in a given society (punk rock, hip hop). To function, this music depends upon predictable patterns... which reinforce the control process...
It is necessary to escape any and all patterns. The way out, is through the imagination and dreams - to pay attention to them, to translate them into actions and as time rusns out we want more out of time. We crave experience that is genuine. We want tot feel a pounding of blood a push of adrenalin through our viens that corresponds to our imaginatve visions of a real adventure and somewhere along the way we lost the right to a trance state without censorship. among allies - that trance state which served to disrupt and break up rigid patterns of body and mind
in a society without meaningful symbols, goals or adventure it is necesary to elude any and all patterns. WHAT WAS FREEDOM YESTERDAY IS CONTROL TODAY. Subcultures, such as this one, must evolve to counter-culture. They must be escape routes, part of the continuing battle for psychic freedom in a world without dreams... a world whose territory and time is being used up fast. It's time to go and stay out of control...

If you abandon patterns completely, you end up with crap like Arnold Schoenberg. Think of the non-musical equivalents of the 12-tone method, and you'll wish you'd never had that idea.

if you give up music because it controls you, you might as well give up food, etc. because it controls us.
at what cost freedom?
is it worth it?
i personally allow myself to be partially coontrolled by my emotions [i.e. , if i see my girlfriend, i smile, [thus controlling ymself] and if she doesn't smile back, i let her control me into worry. bad grammar, i dunno. but still..
absolute freedom is death.

No the point is not to "give up on music" but to recognize that new tactics must be employed, or in the case of music sounds must evolve.
if we stick to old patterns they win (look at how gansta rap has been taken over by the mainstream for an example)

You've failed to instill within me any urgent notion that patterns must be overcome, or even give me a sense of why one would feel that way.
Musically, I'm generally more pleased with tradition than the bulk of what can truly be considered innovative. I mean heck sure, innovation is inevitable, it leads to many great things and can be beautiful... but the similarities to masturbation don't end there.
Why must we break the patterns?

hmm well the above was not written by me, though I agree with it. Why must we avoid patterns? Cause like the above said, yesterday's freedom is todays control".
Let us take youth culture. Youth culture offers us freedom, yet the corporate music world is constantly looking for new forms of music to exploit. Why? because it can produce little itself, and people recognize it which is why kids leave fads as quick as they join them. The problem with patterns as it pertains to youth culture is that once a pattern is there "the mainstream" will take it, water it down and exploit it. That in itself is not terrible, but what happens is that culture dies and the kids move on. (pick any example, 77 punk, grunge, gangsta rap etc...)
really it is inevitable. If you stick with the pattern, people will move on anyway...

stale culture is dead culture.
(none of this is to say that old patterns are worthless, that you can't enjoy a beatles record or a public enemy record. But to have a culture of redudancy is bad for everyone)

Culture just IS though. A self-conscious approach to cultural matters is doomed... it's like trying to reprogram your own psyche. You can have an effect, but you can't achieve a goal.
I guess you're on a modernist trip and I'm more on that ol' post-modernist jammy. Different priorities, maybe.
A culture that becomes stale dies... and deserves death. It is right for such things to pass, because that is their nature. New things will take their place in time... either innocently or, in the less attractive case, by determination. The latter tends to involve things like Preservation... cultural mummification... which uh has nothing to do with anything you've said so I'll snuff out that tangent just for the moment. ^_^

Old post modernist?
I disagree about subcultures just being. Any subculture ive been a part of was shaped by the consious efforts of those involved.
Hip hop or punk or goth didn't appear out of thin air, they were made.

Hip hop
not cultures, none of 'em. "subculture" is a code word for "identifiable market niche".
All of them are umbrella terms referring to myriad and disconnected youth movements. All of them secretly boil down to what are we doing on Friday night. None of them have any inherent or universally acknowledged qualities.
Who Built Hip Hop?
Who Built Punk?
Who Built Goth?
The answer to all three may as well be Nike.

you have obviously never been a part of the punk scene if you think it isn't a subculture and clearly have not even a basic knowledge of its history if you think it was built by Nike (same goes for hip hop)
Punk, and hip hop, are terms with multiple definitions. You could say Sum 41 and kids that listen to that are punk maybe. But that doesnt' refute the fact that punk and hip hop operate as real subculture communities.
Dictionary: cul·ture
1. These patterns, traits, and products considered as the expression of a particular period, class, community, or population
2. Intellectual and artistic activity and the works produced by it.
Hip hop and Punk rock fit both of those definitions perfectly. To pretend that hip hop/punk aren't cultures because not everyone has identical beliefs or behaviors is to effectivly say CULTURE DOESN"T EXIST.
and then we are back to semantics games.
"None of them have any inherent or universally acknowledged qualities. "
um they have as much ankoledged qualities as "black culture" or "mideval culture" do. But of course NONE of those things has universally acknowledged qualities, nor should they. Things aren't that black and white.

two other definitions, which those subcultures also fit:
"These patterns, traits, and products considered with respect to a particular category, such as a field, subject, or mode of expression"
"The predominating attitudes and behavior that characterize the functioning of a group or organization. "

Guilty - never been a part of any punk scene. I said "Nike" just for the cynical sheesh value, it wasn't meant to actually answer the question - let alone supercede them. Ignore the tongue-in-cheek Nike and get back to the questions, if you please.
I disagree about how those definitions can be applied to hip hop or punk - maybe a sort of perverse conglomerate of the two definitions, but can you identify the period/class/community that expresses itself via either? The second definition is not pertinent to what is "A" culture, only what is colloquially called culture as an entity within heh heh western culture.
Incidentally, you will not hear me defending the validity of such terms as "black culture" or "medieval culture". How could such enormous concepts as dark-skinned people in general or a period spanning hundreds of different years in MANY civilizations ever be considered to encompass a particular experience or community? Those are not cultures.
There's a narrow way of looking at culture, there's a broad way of looking at culture, and then there's an inaccurate way.
Unfortunately, Muchmusic just played the video for Danger by Blahzay Blahzay and I can't concentrate anymore. It's been years since I've seen that jammy and I forgot about all the guest appearances... I need a cold shower or something. Sorry.
Hey I hope I'm not coming off too adversarial here this evening... I'm just contrary, you know? It is all pretty semantic, ultimately.

well black culture was just a reference to something other people were debating, but lets not be silly clearly I/they were referring to blacks in america. And one can assume in a current context.
Talking about many civilizations.... I think you are clearly just trying to misread my post, or being overly semantical.
Your asking me what period or class or community the punk scene deals with? well... uh the punk community.

Sounds like a radom note tease to start with others before a nice Suzy. Weak start on Pen but good overall. Solid Melt! Rift and Guelah are good. Possum has a great tease opening, pretty solid jam. First half of Ice was missing from the bootleg I heard, probably a tape flip. Pretty good half Ice into a rare Eliza. NICU still has the weird middle. Bouncing is missing from the bootleg also! Good Bowie, lacking signals though. Too many in Possum I guess.
More teases to start the second set as Trey and Mike take us through As Time Rolls On? Following with a howling Dinner with a few warts. Forbin is great as always, great story, nice FX on the vocals, pretty good Mockingbird. Tweezer is rocking! Can't figure out what song Trey is teasing? Tela makes a rare appearance as well and it shows a little. Mike's Groove is solid tonight. Weigh is a little drunk sounding with a weird ending.
OK, Here's where it gets interesting! I love the Fishman sections of shows and this one had to be legendary! Lots of teasing by Page lately including full on Cold as Ice jams plus a brief HYHU. But then Fish on Bass? Mike on vaccuum and Trey's guitar!!! By the way Mike has some sweet chops. Great Lively jam followed by an apology/disclaimer vocal jam. And what a great idea, by Trey, to follow that with a rocking Sanity! Maze is a great closer.
Memories was missing from the bootleg, but Adeline is nice, plus great stage banter about buds, and an ounce to take home for Fish. Bluegrass Cavern tease and then introduced by Mike as the Prison Joke.
Very funny show, 5 stars just for the Fishman section!

Bio and Links
We are connected, my child and I,
by an invisible cord, not seen by the eye.
It's not like the cord that connects us 'till birth,
this cord can't be seen by any on earth.
This cord does its work, right from the start.
It binds us together, attached to my heart.
I know that it's there, though no one can see,
the invisible cord from my child to me.
The strength of this cord is hard to describe.
It can't be destroyed, it can't be denied.
It's stronger than any cord man could create,
It withstands the test... can hold any weight.
And though you are gone,
though you're not here with me,
this cord is still there, but no one can see.
It pulls at my heart... I am bruised... I am sore.
But this cord is my lifeline... as never before.
I am thankful that God connects us this way.
A mother and child, death can't take it away!
O God, who holds all souls in life;
and calls them to himself as seems best:
we give them back, dear God, to you who gave them to us.
But as you did not lose them in the giving,
so we do not lose them by their return.
For not as the world gives, do you give, O Lord of souls:
that which you give you also take away:
for life is eternal, and love is immortal,
and death is only the horizon,
and the horizon is nothing save the limit of our sight.
Several years ago I began researching my family history. As a history teacher, I can't believe how connected I now feel to the "American Story." Most fascinating has been tracking the westward movement of my mother's family from Massachusetts and Connecticut out to Indiana, Wisconsin, the Dakotas, and Montana and my father's from Virginia and the Carolinas westward to Tennessee, Missouri, Texas and California. I have a deeper, more personal appreciation for the pioneering and adventurous spirit that built and continues to build this land. I have discovered heroes and scalawags along the way... but mostly just regular Americans... hardworking and determined. It is inspiring to say the least.
It was in the process of doing my research that I discovered Find-a-Grave. I have been fascinated by cemeteries for as long as I can remember, and have been amazed to find so many who share my interest. In these quiet places there is no rush, no worry... none of the fears or overblown anxieties that harrass and pull at us every day and we can be assured that ultimately, none of them matter.
Cemeteries are places where we are reminded that, though each of us has a different story, we all share a common destiny. As we gaze at headstones of ancestors who have been gone for scores, if not hundreds of years, they remind us that the Story rolls on... with us, then without us. And more than ever I become convinced that each of us plays the part we have been given in THIS scene... then we move on to the next. Whether we are here for a day or a hundred years, it is but a single beat in the scope of the whole.
As Susie Salmon tells us at the close of The Lovely Bones - "I was here for a moment, and then I was gone." Thus are we all. I cannot honestly say I don't look forward to the next act.
When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that has been written will come true: Death has been swallowed up in victory. "Where, oh death, is your victory? Where, oh death, is your sting?" 1Co15:54-55
Sign in the little country cemetery where my maternal grandparents are buried:
As you are, we once were...
As we are, you will be.
Dear Ancestor
Your tombstone stands among the rest;
Neglected and alone.
The name and date are chiseled out
On polished, marbled stone.
It reaches out to all who care;
It is too late to mourn.
You did not know that I exist,
You died and I was born.
Yet each of us are cells of you;
In flesh, in blood, in bone.
Our blood contracts and beats a pulse
Entirely not our own.
Dear Ancestor, the place you filled;
One hundred years ago
Spreads out among the ones you left
Who would have loved you so.
I wonder as you lived and loved,
I wonder if you knew;
That someday I would find this spot,
And come to visit you.

What a beautiful tribute you wrote to your father! I happened upon it by accident, while looking for Pennsylvania relatives. I got misty eyed while wondering if I'll merit any such note after I leave this earthly existence.
Genealogy isn't about debunking, nor is it about myth making. It is about truth, tact, and respect... for our ancestors and for those who rely on our work to understand us and those who came before. Your own writing is an excellent example of how this *should* be done.

Thanks for emailing back. I myself just recently discovered about the Hattie Green in my Nutter Books.
If I find more on her, I will be glad to share with you.
By chance, are you on Ancestry? I have a Private Tree, but would also be glad to share that too.
I have run across a lot of mysteries in my family also. And I know how it is to get new information.
Look forward to talking to you again and Happy Thanksgiving ;)

Roche gets OK for Herceptin-ADC
25.02.2013 - Roche has received the OK to market its breast cancer antibody-drug conjugate T-DM1 in the US under the brand name Kadcyla.
The FDA granted the approval for Kadcyla monotherapy plus Xeloda (capecitabine) of Her2-positive women with metastatic breast cancer, who had already been treated with Herceptin (trastuzumab) and a taxane chemotherapy. Kadcyla is composed of the antibody, trastuzumab which is linked to the chemotherapeutic DM1 and targets the toxin, which kills proliferating cells, to the tumour.
"Kadcyla is an antibody-drug conjugate representing a completely new way to treat HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer, and it helped people in the EMILIA study live nearly six months longer," said Hal Barron, M.D., Roche's Chief Medical Officer and Head, Global Product Development. "We currently have more than 25 antibody-drug conjugates in our pipeline and hope this promising approach will help us deliver more medicines to fight other cancers in the future."
Roche currently has eight ADCs in early clinical testing for different types of cancer. Roche has also submitted a Marketing Authorisation Application to other Regulatory Authorities around the world, including the European Medicines Agency (EMA). The FDA approval of Kadcyla is based on results from EMILIA (TDM4370g/BO21977), an international, Phase III, randomised, open-label study comparing Kadcyla alone to lapatinib – the current standard of care – in combination with Xeloda (capecitabine) in 991 people with HER2-positive locally advanced breast cancer previously been treated with Herceptin and a taxane chemotherapy. The study met both co-primary efficacy endpoints of overall survival and progression-free survival.

The changes will ease the burden on people who are disabled and are trying to get a total and permanent disability (TPD) discharge of student loans.
The new regulations, which went into effect July first, make it easier for people to prove they're disabled. Instead of having to go through several doctor's certifications, which can take months, they can just use their state disability status. If they're already on Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Social Security income (SSI) benefits they can submit their Social Security Disability (SSA) notice of award – if it includes that their next review is in five to seven years which means they're considered permanently disabled.

...after 41 years of running, turns out I have arthritis in both hips.......
anybody else dealing with this??
I am DEFINITELY up for suggestions........
.......at the moment 4/1-ing twice a week and Poolrunning twice a week.....
O/A or R/A?
I'm well into my 50s and would like to hear your story.
Latest data suggest running in moderation is good for O/A and joints in general, but R/A is a whole 'nother animal. Probably need some blood work done to track down autoimmune markers. There may be a way out of this.
Meanwhile check out this thread....
This short article Osteoarthritis Exercise and Cartilage. The article is not specific to hip arthritis, but presents general concepts of how cartilage is affected by exercise. If you have a diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis of the hips, it is a distinctly different problem.
Damien Howell PT, MS, OCS - www.damienhowellpt.com
.....sorry, should have been more specific......it's OA
and yep,
I think ''Aging'' would apply here, I just turned 60 this year.
thanks damien and james//.......
that thread on the back issues applies a LOT,
the cartlidge link I am going to study in detail.
my story,
the short version,,,,,,,it started about 3-years ago, I toughed it out (typical runner mentality)
then it got so bad I couldn't go up A step (singular, not plural)
naturally, 8 MONTHS later.....I hadn't shaken it off and went and had an xray and diagnosis in January,
got an appointment with a Titians Football Doc
and was told
to keep doing what I was doing.
his first comment was ''I can't believe you can run with those hips"
my first comment was ''hell, I've only had arthritis since January, I'll work on being Infirm when I have more practise''
we got along pretty well after that.
he Green Lighted me to run
but since everything attached to both hips is inflamed, some days it just AIN'T happening.
my attitude is
''I'm not that Smart
but Pain makes me Stop''
so currently I'm going with neophrene hipflexor wrap, Adidas Cushion 6s, dirt or level grass surface, a folding cane (don't ask, I feel like An Idiot carrying it)
out-and-back courses,
and a motto of-
'If it hurts when you DoDat,
thanks for the links, and lemme know if you have any other ideas,,,,,,,,I topped out and am looking for input.
much appreciated
Although there have been stability issues reported on spring-loaded shoes, check out these sites just for grins.
I bought a pair of zcoils to rehab from an achilles injury years ago, and I can't say I'm sorry I did. They performed as promised, but the testimonials from others with more severe conditions bear some reading...
http://www.zcoil.com/ (main site)
Damien: Do you recall a Scandinavian (or was it Dutch) study a few years back that was published on MedScape, regarding the effect of stress on joint regeneration? The gist of the study was an observed increase in vascular growth in the vicinity of cartilage and a resulting change in the chemical makeup of the fluid and cartilage resiliency, all in response to "moderate" aerobic exercise (i.e.: running). At the time, I posted a link to said study in an e-mail to the president of my running club, promising there would be an officially published study forthcoming (there was a "gag order" on the preliminary release to Medscape). Though it could have easily escaped my glancing attention, I never heard anything more about it, and I wonder if you or any of your associates had.
my Crazy Brother (a hard core backpacker) owns some of the SpringShoes........
he didn't think they would help much in my case.
but it's a thought.
I had a right hip replacement (hip resurfacing) due to OA 3 yrs ago. I am now pain free and run about 20-25 miles a week. Resurfacing is the way to go if you do need a replacement.
...thanks chris//.......the Titans Ortho Doc also said this was the way to go......
since I run a OneMan Drugstore, how long I would be out is a problem......how long were you out before you recovered??
....ps.......congratulations on the mileage, Impressive.
James Johnson is already familiar with my treating severe Morton's Neuroma with prolotherapy injections. I can't help mentioning that prolo treats the hips as well, tightening the whole assembly which shakes apart from years of running.
thanks designeer//.......hadn't heard of this one before.......
Tom, I had a best case recovery. I was back to light duty work at 3 weeks, but probably could have gone back sooner. I kept myself in good shape right up until surgery. I think that helped a lot. I am going out tomorrow AM with friends for a 7 mile trail run and cant wait.
Enjoy every minute of it......
......ps.....I have NO idea why there are numbers with this post.......
I am a 48 year old female just diagnosed with arthritis in my right hip(with 2 bone spurs). The Doc was shocked to see this on someone my age. I have been running seriously for at least 36 years(31 marathons). Also VERY active and a Health/pe teacher. I am in severe shock as to this and am glad to see your and Chris's posts. PLEASE keep offering any info you have- this is new as I just was diagonsed yesterday and am going to find out a slew of more info re: my situation from the Doc pending looking at all the tests.... This makes me very hopeful I don't have to rule out running for the rest of my life...:)
Cremail, I am not a salesman I promise. During my experience with prolotherapy, I kept reading in the newsletters how the body will grow bone spurs as a way to add calcium/concrete like strength to an area where the structural tissues have stretched or weakened. These are usually tendons and ligaments. Prolotherapy first tightens and builds these and then some prolotherapists then give another type of injection that hels break up the spur.but this is last. Hope this helps.

Facing Fat Test, US Troops Use ... Liposuction
Posted October 29th, 2013 @ 8:57am by Neal Colgrass, Newser Staff
(NEWSER) – Don't be surprised to see US troops lining up at your nearest plastic surgeon's office—they're probably terrified of failing the Pentagon's body fat test, the APreports. "They come in panicked about being kicked out or getting a demerit that will hurt their chances at a promotion," says a surgeon in Rockville, Md. The Pentagon's test relies on tape measurements of the waist and neck rather than the widely used body-mass index, so guys with funny-shaped bodies have a tough time passing.

A jury has convicted a mother of abusing her foster child.
Monique James took the stand on Wednesday defending herself and her disciplining as a parent.
"I pushed her," Monique James tearfully admitted in court. "I was frustrated so I pushed her."
It was emotional testimony from the woman who claims she was born to be a mother.
"I always wanted to adopt children and to make a difference."
James says she shoved her soon-to-be adoptive daughter into some steps when she didn't obey. The defense says James was trying to discipline her child and went too far -- but not to the point of child abuse.
"She may be responsible for the push on the side but other than that she is not responsible or guilty of child abuse," said Vincent Green, James' attorney.
"We did not beat our children. We loved our children. We did not abuse them."
James testified that some of the bruising was likely caused by a couple of spankings with a belt --- but claimed ---- that punishment was her only option.
"I didn't want to do it, but I didn't know what else to do. I know that it was a form of discipline. I thought it would work."
James claims the shove was out of frustration and the harm wasn't intentional. But when the little girl got to the hospital it was a matter of life or death.
"When someone comes in that bad ..... that person could die," said Dr. Stephen Guertin, a pediatrics specialist at Sparrow Hospital.
Doctor Guertin testified that the combination of injuries indicated long term abuse.
"Three impact sites on the head; multiplanal injuries, brain injury, grip marks, butt bruises and very clear whip marks, there was abuse."
After James says she shoved the girl --- she says the child fell from a step stool while washing her hands in a bathroom.
"From a simple stairway fall you wouldn't expect her to come in dying and she was," said Guertin. "For us, we knew the child had been abused."
But Guertin says the fall and the shove were just part of the story.
James faces a maximum of 15 years on the first-degree child abuse charge when she's sentenced in November. Her lawyer tells wilx.com he may file an appeal.

On Monday, the Granite Falls City Council approved engineering service proposals for a secondary pumping station and sanitary sewer lift station associated with Granite Falls Flood Mitigation.
The proposal for the 7th Street Storm Water Pump Station and Washington Street/Minnesota Ave. lift station design services is estimated to total $78,000 and $186,000, respectively.
In both instances, Stantec, Inc., St. Cloud, will provide design work; Bonnema Surveys, Willmar, land surveys and topographic mapping; American Engineering and Testing, Marshall, soil testing; and Rodeberg and Berryman, Inc., Montevideo, local project coordination and design process review.
The 7th Street pump station, which would be located near 15th Ave. behind the Wellness Center, would allow city storm water to be pumped from behind a closed slide gate into the drainage way to the Minnesota River during flood events.
According to City Engineer Dave Berryman, the two-pump station, with electric motors and Power Take Off (PTO) connection, would cost an estimated $725,000 based on comparable projects in other communities.
The sanitary lift station, which will pump sewage uphill to the sewage treatment plant, is expected to be located near and replace the existing 1930s lift station at Washington Street and Minnesota Ave. The 25 x 25 x 33 foot deep cast-in-place structure would include an automatic fine screen, bar screen, three pumps, valve vault, electrical room and enclosed maintenance area at an estimated cost of $1.8 million.
Design work for both projects is expected to begin this month with completion in January. In both instances, DNR Flood Mitigation dollars will be utilized to cover design costs.
In other news:
•Council members approved the hire of Jay Schmidt, of Barn Restoration Specialists, Inc., Onamia, to provide a detailed construction cost estimate for project costs associated with the Volstead House foundation restoration.
Preliminary engineering estimates project an expense of $125,000 for the foundation improvements. The detailed estimate would be used to strengthen Granite Falls Historical Society project grant applications.
•Council members approved a $6,618.61 bid to replace carpeting in the fitness room of the Kilowatt Community Center by Aus Floors and More. It was only the bid received.
•Todd Hagen of the city's bond consultant, Ehlers and Associates, Roseville, reviewed possible financing scenarios of future capital improvement bonds.
According to City Manager Bill Lavin, at present bond rates are extremely low, in the range of three to two-and-a-half percent.

- Jesus Calling is Beautiful! by Susan M. on 11/13/2014
Jesus Calling is beautiful little book filled with daily readings for the whole year. I absolutely enjoy every word in this devotional. Hope, love, and faith all wrapped up inside this lovely book. I keep reading it over and over. I feel this book is inspiring and very interesting.
- Life changing by Nonna2011 on 8/5/2013
I received this book as a gift in 2012 - little did I know that it would rock my world. Her writings are so helpful and true to Scripture; it's almost as if Jesus was using her pen to write directly to me, at my station in life. Highly recommend this!
- Love this devotional by Joyce on 5/31/2013
Given to me as a gift in 2011, I am now reading it and journaling as I hear God speak. Sarah Young is truly a gifted child of God whose writings have inspired me to spend time with God. I read it in the morning over a cup of coffee and feel that I am supping with Jesus as I begin my day.
I, too, have purchased many of these and given them as a gift at God's leading. I work in a doctor's office, where many are suffering and when I feel led to give one to a particular patient, I tell them I believe God wants them to have it...I have also given to complete strangers, knowing the power of God's love. This book has comforted and inspired many people and I know God is working out His plans in their lives as they read these words and realize God is speaking to them. Many have said that this book has changed how they view God. For many it is the first time they believe He is real and are beginning to recognize His speaking to them.
I would recommend this devotional to everybody.
- Speaks directly to you by Neenybo on 5/16/2013
I purchased 5 copies of this last Christmas when they were one of the special deals of the day. I gave copies to my sister-in-laws, pastor's wife and my daughter-in-law's mom. I am so glad I kept a copy for myself! This little book speaks right to my heart each day. It's a great way to start each morning by helping you focus on God and how He is present in your life that day. Anytime this is on sale, buy it!
- ....the best of the best by Baggie on 4/25/2013
...this is obsolutely the best devotional book ever! Scriptually sound. It takes you into conversation mode with Christ. I don't like sappy, make you cry devotion books. This is solid - for men and women. Gave a copy to my doctor - he loves it !

Once filled with tinctures and remedies, accessories like these lined the shelves of apothecaries in the 19th century. They've since found new purpose in the bath or other areas of the home to equally handsome effect.
