U.K. Banks on the Road to Capital Raising
Capital raising by the U.K.'s banks took a leap forward Monday, after the body tasked with returning state-owned banks to public markets appointed a new chief, and Barclays published the prospectus for its £5.8 billion ($9.2 billion) rights issue.
And in the government's roster of trusted advisers, two names have emerged as central to both processes.
James Leigh-Pemberton, a heavy hitter with 34 years in banking under his belt, most recently as head of the U.K. operations of Credit Suisse, has taken the job some considered the trickiest in UK banking – chief executive of U.K. Financial Investments. There, he will navigate the sale of the government's 39% stake in Lloyds and 81% of RBS.
His path has been eased in no small part by a steady rise in Lloyds shares which make the math on returning the bank to the markets an event expected sooner rather than later. In fact, as recently as Friday Lloyds watchers said the sale of about a quarter of the stake could come in September.
But Mr Leigh-Pemberton isn't taking the helm until late October and analysts are now pointing to Lloyds's results on October 29th as a potential catalyst- especially if the bank outlines its first dividend since it was bailed out. Of course a sharp increase in Lloyds's share price, which is already above the government's average buy in price, could force the issue.
Meanwhile Mr. Leigh Pemberton, who during his time at the Swiss bank advised the U.K. government on its bailout strategy, the creation of the asset resolution regime and the recapitalizations of Lloyds Banking Group and Royal Bank of Scotland, is bringing new blood to UKFI in the form of Oliver Holbourn. He is currently Bank of America Merrill Lynch's head of U.K., Irish and South African equity capital markets origination. At UKFI he'll be head of capital markets.
But before they join, Mr. Leigh Pemberton and Mr. Holbourn are rather tied up with Barclays. Both are working on the bank's rights issue – the prospectus for which has revealed that the bank is contesting a £50 million regulatory fine over agreements struck with Qatar in 2008, as we report over on WSJ.com. It also reveals that adjusted income for July and August was £500 million lower than for the same period last year.
Mr. Holbourn, like Mr. Leigh Pemberton, has worked with the U.K. government before, and is leading the U.S. bank's team as joint bookrunner on the privatization of the Royal Mail.

Cream of Mushroom Soup Recipe
Submitted By:from Milwaukee.
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons sweet cooking sherry
- 2 ounces dried porcini mushrooms, whole
- 1 ounce dried shiitake mushrooms
- 1 ounce dried oyster mushrooms
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 small onion, minced
- 1 clove garlic , crushed
- 1 tablespoon porcini powder
- 1 tablespoon Old Cedarburg Seasoning (Ukrainian Village Seasoning)
- 8 cups water
- 4 cups heavy cream or milk
- 1 package mushroom glace
- 1 cup wild rice, rinsed
- to taste black pepper
- to taste porcini salt
Serves / Yields
4 quarts
Preparation Instructions
Put the water, sherry and mushrooms in a 6 quart dutch oven or crock. Cover and simmer until the mushrooms are hydrated. Let cool. Save any remaining liquid. Slice the mushrooms to desired size. In the same pot, melt the butter and saute the onions and garlic until translucent, add the sliced mushrooms. Whisk in the flour to create a roux. Add the porcini powder and Cedarburg/Ukranian Village seasoning. Slowly whisk in the water, so the roux does not leave lumps. Add the demi glace. Bring the pot to a simmer. Add the cream and bring to a simmer again. Mix in the wild rice. Cover. Keep at a low temperature and stir occasionally to keep the rice from scorching. Once the wild rice is fully cooked, you can uncover the pot and simmer some more for a thicker soup, and adjust the seasoning with black pepper and porcini salt.
Helpful Hints
Wild rice takes a long time to cook. You may prepare it ahead of time and just add it in the end.

Noizi Ito's Art Collection – KA·E·N
August 27, 2007 | Author: Adun | In: Anime Blogs, Merchandise
After last week's attendance to SMASH, I headed off to Kinokuniya since it has been well over 5 weeks since I last went there, so surely there was something for me to buy there. I didn't buy anything at SMASH since nothing tickled my fancy, but I had the urge to throw my money at something. Skipping the manga section, I usually head to the artbook section first just to see what there is, and I was pleased to see Noizi Ito's 2nd artbook collection, KA·E·N.
The book is split up into 4 different sections, with the first section covering "Shana" artworks for an awesome 43 pages. Some of the images are new to me whilst there are a few that come from DVD covers, the anime's ending sequence, and promo stuff.
Section 2 of the art book, named "Different Sect", is just as the name says. It covers character drawings of various characters from different games and other places like Utawarerumono, To Heart 2, Shuffle, Tsukiyomi Moonphase, Genshiken etc. This goes for about 37 pages.
The 3rd section is original art work by Noizi Ito, named "Creation", covering most of her original character designs, but with some other character designs based on some known characters. This covers about 14 pages. The last section is named "Secrets", but this is mainly interview material that I'll never get to read and understand. Definitely a worthwhile buy for the Shana fan, or a fan of Noizi Ito's art work. When I walked into Kinokuniya, seemed like I got the last copy as I couldn't see any others. A nice collection indeed and I can't wait for the second season of Shakugan no Shana.
Note: Excuse the grainy/blurry photos. I'm doing this at midnight, when I should be asleep.

All Quiet on the Western Front
by Erich Maria Remarque
All Quiet on the Western Front Theme of Identity
"Who am I?" is the most aggressively confronted question in All Quiet on the Western Front. Our narrator discovers his own identity as he grows from a naïve youth to a wizened front line fighter. He defines himself in many ways, mostly relative to other people and their ideas. He lauds "salt of the earth" type people, like his friend and mentor Kat. He is repulsed by men with no identity (i.e., those who define themselves by the uniform they wear rather than the content of their character). In an odd way, our narrator stays naïve throughout the book, hopeful to the very end, because he continues narrating. Had he truly given up hope for self-actualization, he would have stopped telling his story.
Questions About Identity
- How does Paul change over the course of the novel?
- What does it mean to be a soldier in the context of WWI?
- Do we ever encounter females struggling with their identity?
- Do civilians struggle with their identity in the same way that soldiers do?
Chew on This
Paul holds onto his identity until his death.
Paul loses his identity long before this novel begins.

text: Michael Ilitch Detroit is going through a hotel boom By Stateside Staff • Apr 14, 2015 Flickr user Ian Freimuth / Flickr Listen Listening... / 9:34 Listen to our conversation with John Gallagher. There's a hotel boom happening in downtown Detroit. Once-abandoned buildings are now gleaming new hotels, or will be soon. But will these plans give Detroit too many hotel rooms or not enough? And there have been lengthy discussions over the two hotels near the new Red Wings arena site just north of downtown. Gilbert & Ilitch build their empires in Downtown Detroit By Stateside Staff • Aug 18, 2014 Ian Freimuth / Flickr Listen Listening... / 9:04 Recent years have seen a number of corporate heavyweights do their part to revitalize Detroit. One of many examples: Henry Ford II powered the Renaissance Center from blueprints to skyscrapers towering over the Riverfront. But there are two names that stand well above all the others: the names of Ilitch and Gilbert. Detroit Free Press Business writer John Gallagher explored the impact of Mike Ilitch and his family and of Dan Gilbert in a recent front-page story entitled "One downtown, two empires: Mike Ilitch and Dan Gilbert reshape Detroit." Dan Gilbert owns several dozen buildings in the greater downtown area, including some skyscrapers. The Ilitch family plan to redevelop the entire Arena District. "The downtown has become 'Gilbertville' and the area just north of downtown is on its way to becoming 'Ilitchville,'" said Gallagher. "I have not seen any other two major corporate leaders accumulate as large a percentage of land as have Dan Gilbert and the Ilitch Organization," said John Mogk, a law professor at Wayne State University. He teaches a course on Property, Energy, Land Use and Urban Development. Plan to transform downtown Detroit released By Steve Carmody • Jul 20, 2014 Olympia Entertainment Downtown Detroit could undergo a major transformation under a development plan unveiled today. The organization that owns the Detroit Red Wings says it wants to transform the northern part of downtown Detroit into a sports/entertainment/retail and residential destination. Who owns downtown Detroit? By Michigan Radio Newsroom • Jul 9, 2013 Dave Hogg / Flickr If you're in Detroit, and you drive south down Woodward from Midtown to downtown, you'll see things that weren't there four years ago: new developments, pop-up businesses, more people, a new demographic, a Whole Foods,

You don't need exotic technology or expensive gadgets to remove pollutants from the air you breathe indoors. According to NASA studies, a selection of hardy, easy-care houseplants can help.
NASA has been researching methods of cleansing the air so that future space stations can be kept fit for human habitation for extended periods of time. Researchers have discovered that many common houseplants "scrub" significant amounts of harmful gases—such as formaldehyde and benzene—out of the air through photosynthesis, absorbing pollutants and rendering them harmless in the soil.
These findings are especially relevant for inhabitants of newly constructed buildings, which are sealed tightly to conserve energy but consequently trap pollutants indoors. NASA researchers recommend that you have a minimum of two plants per 100 square feet of floor space in your home or office. Best of all, you don't need to be a green thumb to incorporate these popular, low-maintenance houseplants into your environment.
Chinese evergreen. Chinese evergreens are tolerant plants that do well in a variety of settings and flourish for years with minimum care. They do best in shadowless light, such as a north-facing window. Keep the soil barely moist.
Dracaena. Dracaenas grow slowly and retain their foliage for long periods of time. Plant them in regular potting mix and keep the soil moist, but don't let the pot sit in water. They grow best in bright, indirect sunlight, warm temperatures, and low humidity.
Heartleaf philodendron. Philodendrons grow better than most other houseplants under adverse conditions. They do well as long as they're kept warm, moderately moist, and out of direct sunlight.
Pothos. This plant looks like a philodendron, but it can be distinguished by its ridged stems. Pothos plants are vigorous climbers and look nice in a hanging basket. They're happiest in bright, indirect sunlight, warm temperatures, and low humidity.
Snake plant. These plants, which develop clumps of strap-shaped leaves that are 18 to 30 inches tall, grow in almost any environment. Allow the soil to dry completely between waterings. Grow in any light intensity, from dim interior light to full sun.
Spider plant. Spider plants make excellent hanging plants, and while they prefer bright light, they're very adaptable to medium light. Because potbound spider plants produce plantlets, they're a great choice if you want to populate your living space or office with foliage.
Weeping fig. Also known by its Latin name, Ficus benjamina, this plant does well under normal household conditions. The leaves will drop if the plant is chilled. Weeping figs like their roots crowded in a small pot. Wipe leaves with a wet cloth frequently.

Help keep SKCC free:
K3Y is a month-long operating event held each January to celebrate the use of hand-formed Morse radiotelegraphy. It commences on Jan. 2nd, immediately following the ARRL's longstanding Straight Key Night event. January 2014 will mark the eighth anniversary of the Straight Key Century Club's founding.
K3Y provides a unique opportunity for any US-based SKCC member to operate on the air using the K3Y special-event call sign. DX members also may participate as special-event stations using their own call signs. Please see the separate guide for K3Y DX operators. A link to it appears in the navigation column at left.
You can download a PDF of this operator's guide here to use as a reference at your operating desk.
SKCC Members in the US who wish to operate as K3Y special event stations should contact their Regional Coordinators in order to schedule an operating time slot. The terms of usage for the special call sign require that no more than one operator in each US call-sign area be allowed to use the special event call sign at any given time.
A K3Y regional coordinator is assigned to each US call-sign district. The coordinator is responsible for scheduling your operating times and processing your log files. Please contact the coordinator for the region from which you will be operating. Email addresses are listed in the navigation column at left.
The operating schedule is maintained on the SKCC Event Calendar, found here.
All times and dates are in UTC/GMT. (For example, Friday 01:00 UTC would be Thursday evening local time in the US.)
You can browse the event schedule for unassigned time slots in your call area. Then notify your area coordinator of any open slots you would like to fill. The earlier you request a time slot the better your chances are of getting it. If you find that you cannot keep a previously scheduled time, please notify your coordinator as soon as possible so that he or she can free it for others to use.
You also may be able to make immediate scheduling requests by contacting Ron AC2C or Randy KB4QQJ. Please first check with your area coordinator to see if this service is available. If so, and should you suddenly find yourself with some free operating time when your coordinator is not available, Ron or Randy may be able to get you signed up on very short notice.
Ron, AC2C, can be reached at email@example.com
Randy, KB4QQJ, can be reached at email@example.com
Once you have requested an operating-time slot you should receive a confirmation email from your coordinator. Remember, you must be listed on the K3Y schedule page in order to operate at any particular time; if you are not on the schedule you are not permitted to operate with the special-event call sign!
As a courtesy to the Coordinator please include the following information in your scheduling requests so that he will not have to look it up:
Call sign Name State SKCC number
As a special-event operator you will use the call sign assigned to your particular area: K3Y/0, K3Y/1, etc. plus K3Y/KH6, K3Y/KL7, K3Y/KP4. All contacts must be made using a straight key, bug, or side-swiper.
Here are some recommendations for on-air procedures:
-- A standard 2x2 call is generally recommended: CQ CQ de K3Y/2 K3Y/2 K. Please do not send the directed call CQ SKCC as that may discourage non-SKCC members from replying. A shorter 1x1 call can be used during busy times. Please use your own judgment.
-- Please include the following minimum information in your on-air exchange: RST, QTH, NAME, and SKCC NUMBER. The exchange can be made more or less "wordy" depending on your preference or how busy you are. The bare minimum would be, for example: 599 NJ Drew SKCC 2082T. It is suggested that you explicitly include the SKCC in the exchange. This gives SKCC an on-air presence and helps to inform non-members who may be listening in.
-- You can direct non-members to the SKCC and K3Y website by sending "see skccgroup dot com" or "see QRZ dot com."
-- You are required to send your own call sign at least once per hour. Many K3Y ops mention their personal calls as part of every QSO.
-- Operation on 60m is NOT permitted.
-- In the interest of providing the widest possible coverage please do not run QRP as a K3Y Operator unless that is the limit of your station capability. QRP stations are entirely welcome, and desired, to be part of K3Y. But restricting your coverage by reducing output power is counter to the goal of the event. We want to give everyone the best possible chance of hearing and contacting as many K3Y operators as possible.
-- Please keep in mind this is not a contest but a special event. You may operate the special-event call sign on the WARC bands except when participating in sprints or contests.
-- Operators may work repeat callers (dupes) if they like but must at all times give preference to new callers. Again, we want to give everyone a fair chance of working as many different K3Y operators as possible. Dupe contacts are not reflected in the stats.
-- While operating please consider logging in to the K3UK SKCC Sked page at:
Then type your K3Y call into the Status box at the top of the page, like this: =K3Y/2. That will let everyone clearly know that you are the K3Y station in your area. You need not feel obligated to field requests or engage in banter on the Sked page while you are operating.
K3Y operators must maintain a log of all their contacts. Logs should be in ADIF format and should contain at least the following fields: Date; Time; Call sign; Band; Mode; Name; RST Sent; RST Rcvd (The ADIF tags for these fields are QSO_DATE; TIME_ON; CALL; BAND; MODE; NAME; RST_SENT; RST_RCVD).
Some coordinators will accept logs in other formats, but ADIF is preferred for ease of processing of the many thousands of contacts that will be made during the event. There are a number of free logging programs available that are suitable for this purpose. Several programs written by SKCC members are available here:
You should send your log file to your area Coordinator as soon as possible, preferably within 24 hours of operating. This will get your contacts into the master log with minimum delay and will reduce the number of inquiries that must be handled by Coordinators from members who are anxious to confirm their "stats".
All dates and times must be logged in UTC or GMT.
Please include your call sign and the date of the most recent QSO as part of the log's filename. (For example: "AF2Z-12.adi" for a Jan. 12th log from AF2Z.)
If you work another K3Y op you should make sure to obtain and log his personal call sign as well. This will ensure that he receives personal credit in the K3Y Log and stats for his contact with you. He should do the same for you.
If you find you have made a mistake or omission in any of your submitted log entries please contact your area coordinator. He will assist you in correcting them and resubmitting the log file.
Please keep a back-up copy of your log file(s).
An official K3Y QSL card will be available to anyone who works at least one K3Y station. The card will list one QSO per each US call district worked (including KH6, KL7 and KP4), plus each continental DX area (AF, AS, EU, NA, OC, SA): up to a maximum of nineteen QSOs for a complete worldwide "sweep" card
Cards will be distributed automatically to anyone who is a member of the SKCC QSL Bureau. Those who are not bureau members may request a K3Y QSL card by submitting a SASE, indicating their callsign and "K3Y 2014" on the envelope. More info on the SKCC QSL Bureau can be found at:
You can, of course, do your own QSLing as well. The contacts you make as a K3Y operator can be used for various SKCC awards, although these generally require that you have also exchanged your personal call sign during the contact.
Thank you for serving as a special-event station during this year's anniversary celebration!

Piper Jaffray Upgrades Sonic Solutions
Analyst Gene Munster says the computer-based audio and video tool maker's relationship with Dell is getting closer
Piper Jaffray upgrades Sonic Solutions (SNIC ) to outperform from market perform.
Analyst Gene Munster says the company's core PC DVD/CD burning market is holding steady, with market growth, new pricing models (excluding its Dell relationship) currently offsetting continual ASP decline.
He notes, in addition to the existing deal for MyDVD and RecordNow, Sonic Soluutions is also selling a media center application to Dell. He believes the addition of this software to Dell's offerings is another sign the Dell/Sonic Solutions relationship is getting closer together, vs. further apart.
Munster notes new markets are emerging for the company's technologies in the area of digital convergence. He raises his $20 target to $27.

- - Changing Wax Question (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/snowboarding-general-chat/54329-changing-wax-question.html)
Changing Wax Question
I hot waxed my board last weekend with the Lib Tech All Temp Banana Wax (came with the tuning kit I got on sale) and tried it out yesterday. Wasn't expecting much from it so I wasn't too disappointed but I was going really slow. I'm pretty sure it wasn't my wax job since the base was very smooth with no "sticky" clumps of wax and I buffed the wax out with a scotch pad until my arms fell off. But back to my question, I wanted to change wax to OneballJay's Cool temp four wheel drive wax. I figured I need to clean the base before changing from all temp to temp specific wax so will rubbing alcohol work as a base cleaner? The board tech at my local shop said it'd be fine for a temporary base cleaner replacement.
Also, any reviews on that four wheel drive wax?
You don't need to clean your base in order to change the wax type. You waxed, and then rode. That's good enough. If you REALLY want to clean it though, use a citrus based cleaner of some kind, not rubbing alcohol. As for the 4WD, I've used the warm, cold and all temp. It's not bad wax. OBJ in general makes decent wax. There are cheaper alternatives though that work just as well. In the end, it's just wax. Don't overthink it. ;)
Don't strip the old wax out of your base. Just keep layering wax on top for whatever conditions you are riding next. The only reason to ever strip the wax out of your base is to get dirt and other contaminents out. Don't use a base cleaner then either, just give your base a few hot scrapes (scrape the wax when it is still warm.)
I've heard the term hot scrape but never have seen anyone do it or tell me exactly what it is? Is it just dripping some cheap wax on the board then ironing it on just like you would with a regular wax job then just scraping it off right after before it cools?
Also what does a hot scrape do? Does it just take off all old wax?
Hot scraping is just scraping while the wax is still warm. Don't overthink it.
As for what it does, it removes more wax than is normally removed when you scrape a cold board. If you ride mountains with sub-par conditions there is typically a lot of dirt or other pollutants. When you wax your board you typically break these pollutants free from the base and they mix with your wax (the reason the wax looks dirty when your spreading it sometimes.)
Hot scraping is used to remove these pollutants as an alternative to using a base cleaner that strips all of the wax out of the base. The only time you ever need to strip all of the wax out is if you are doing p-tex repair work. Other than that, keep layering wax on top of wax, on top of wax, on top of wax. There is no such thing as overwaxing, it can just get a little expensive if you go crazy.
Ok, makes things alot easier! Thank you!
it sounds like ur in pnw...it doesn't get cold enough to use cold wax...generally. last sat at bakes was about the coldest we ever had 10 degrees in the early am. my board was a tad slow but by mid am it was fine and blasting groomers at 40+mph. thus don't over think the wax type...i use grocery store canning wax...$4 for a pound....works just fine.

S asked: How do I remove debris from spinning dishwasher arms? There is soft debris in the holes on the spinning arms in my dishwasher. The holes are too small to put anything in to clean them out. Is there some liquid I could pour in the holes to break up the soft debris? I used vinegar and commercial dishwashing cleaners, but the soft debris will not come out and clogs up the holes.
Dishwasher spray arms provide streams of hot water directly to the dishes to give a thorough cleaning. They can become clogged, dirty and need to be cleaned. You have the right products, now here are the instructions to remove and clean your clogged and dirty arms to keep your dishwasher working at top performance.
You Will Need:
- Soap
- Water
- Scrub brush
- Cotton swabs
- Tweezers or toothpicks
- Vinegar
Steps to Clean the Spray Arms:
- Begin by unplugging the unit.
- Remove the dishracks.
- Locate the screw on cap or bolts that are holding the arm in place.
- Remove the caps or bolts. Take note of the order any washers that may also be in place that need to be removed.
- Remove the spray arm.
- Fill a sink or bucket with hot water.
- Add soap and one cup of vinegar. Agitate the water to mix.
- Place the spray arm into the water and allow it to soak until the debris becomes loosened.
- If there are mineral deposits from hot water, soak it in straight vinegar.
- Use an old toothbrush, or other scrubbers to clean the surfaces of the arm. Cotton swabs can also be used to remove build up from the small holes in the arm. Tweezers and toothpicks work well to pull out pieces of debris from the openings.
- Once the debris is removed, rinse the piece completely with clean water. Spraying it with high pressure water will help to remove any loosened debris as well.
- Shake off excess water and dry with a soft cloth.
- Replace the arm back into the dishwasher ensuring all bolts and washers are installed in the same order that they were removed.
Additional Tips and Advice
- If unclean dishes are the problem, check the arms first to make sure they are functional. Before removing them, spin them to make sure they spin freely. Lift up on each one. There should be some movement in the arms. If either of these movements are restricted or need to be forced, there may be other problems with your machine.
- If the parts of your dishwasher differ from what is described above, consult your owner's manual for the specific disassembly procedures for your particular machine.
- If you are unsure of your ability to disassemble the spray arms, a professional can be hired. However, the job can be done by most homeowners.
- If the spray arm cannot be removed, new arms can be purchased from the manufacturer to replace the clogged arms.
- There are also commercial products available, such as Dishwasher Magic, that can be used to remove build up from the interior of the dishwasher.

NASA Quietly Building An Ebook Empire
Posted at 7:30AM Monday 28 Jul 2014NASA is the US government agency responsible for space exploration and designing new technologies to achieve it. They have seen better days, since they have abandoned space shuttle launches and instead rely on the ISS in Russia to provide access to the International Space Station. Due to the complicated political landscape with Russia, Space X is hoping to leverage their reusable rockets and take over manned missions. The one thing NASA is not known for is digital publishing, and the agency is quietly building an eBook empire.

New Warriors coach Mark Jackson visited the Bay Area this week to meet with his coaching staff, and he came toting his completely new playbook.
"Got my DNA all over it," Jackson said.
The coach and his assistants spent Tuesday and Wednesday at the team's downtown Oakland facility -- the first time the staff had been together -- getting everyone up to speed and on the same page.
Perhaps that will be a silver lining of the NBA lockout. The Warriors coaching staff, which was completely overhauled, now has time to get things together.
"The more time you have (together as a staff), the more prepared you can become," lead assistant Michael Malone said. "We want to be ready to rock and roll and hit the ground running."
Jackson still lives in Southern California, where he is serving as pastor of True Love Worship Center International in Van Nuys. But he said he's been on the phone constantly with his staff, especially Malone, who visited Jackson for a couple of days to craft the playbook.
Malone has been in Oakland since early summer, implementing Jackson's plans. Assistants Kris Weems, Darren Erman and Wes Unseld Jr. arrived during the summer, and Pete Myers and Jerry DeGregorio flew in this week.
Jackson said he won't assign his coaches specific tasks, such as working with big men or guards.
He also said he is a big believer in efficiency. After playing 17 years in the NBA, Jackson knows the value of getting in and out of practice. He said he doesn't put much stock in getting to the building at 6 a.m. and staying all day.
His stance is the same for film study.
"I've played for coaches that used it above and beyond, even out of control," Jackson said. "I'm a guy that will use it to show examples. I'm not a guy you're going to see with bags under my eyes because I've watched film all night long."
Practices will start around 10 a.m., Jackson said, and they will focus on what he called winning plays: "drawing charges, timely rotations on defense, extra passes and hustle plays."
Even before Jackson came to town, his coaches had been indoctrinated to the new system. Several of the coaches have gotten on the court to go over the sets. Their rendition was much more of a walk-through, Weems said.
"We were going really, really slow," Weems said with a smile. "I needed that time. I felt like I was a freshman at Stanford. I felt like I was trying to get some playing time again. I was running the wrong way."
Jackson said the goal is for the staff to have everything down to a science by the time the lockout ends.
Forward David Lee said the impression he got from his prelockout meeting with the staff was that it would be "very prepared."
"We're going to be on point," Jackson promised. "There won't be a learning process when the season gets here."

SIKESTON -- Adults who think they missed their chance to learn how to play the piano are in luck.
An upcoming Sikeston Adult and Community Education workshop promises to teach people to play the piano in one session. "Instant Piano for Hopelessly Busy People" will be offered from 6 to 9:30 p.m. Thursday at the Sikeston Career and Technology Center.
"Instant Piano" instructor David Haynes of Chattanooga, Tenn., said the traditional way to play the piano is to read two different sets of letters simultaneously -- one with the right hand and one with the left hand,
"It's very daunting and time consuming. That's why there are so many dropouts," Haynes said.
The "Instant Piano" method does away with all the left hand note reading and teaches people how to play piano by looking at guitar chord symbols.
"It's an instant way to play the piano unlike taking weeks and years to play," Haynes said.
Haynes has a master's degree in music and has taught music for years, including as a music professor in schools. For the past 12 years, Haynes has traveled across the eastern United States, teaching the one-time three-and-a-half-hour course at over 130 colleges and career centers in 20 states.
Haynes said it's not necessary to have any music knowledge before the workshop. Students will learn all the chords they need during the class, he said.
"Students will have dummy keyboards at their seats. They don't make any noise. Students are not put on the spot. It's a very comfortable, ideal way for adults to learn in a group setting."
The method works to play all types of popular music as well as country, gospel, blues, Christmas and TV show theme songs, he said.
However, Haynes pointed out, this method doesn't work for someone who wants to play classical music, such as that by Bach and Beethoven.
"For that, you have to have take the years of lessons," Haynes said.
Haynes said he will also teach students to embellish songs using the secrets and magical shortcuts of professional musicians.
Students will take home a book of songs and professional CD so they can practice after the class, Haynes said.
"It's like me being there to help them, and that's the way it works so well doing the class in one evening," Haynes said.
It was Haynes who first contacted Richard McGill of Sikeston Career and Technology Center about conducting the course here.
"As soon as he approached me about the class I was very excited about it, especially this year. I've really been looking at different and fresher ideas about classes and have open to more ideas. This (class) is kind of a step in that direction," McGill said.
McGill said he talked to the coordinator of Rolla Technical Institute's community education, which has offered the course for three semesters.
"It's been very successful for them. They even had to offer an afternoon and an evening class," McGill said.
Haynes has also taught the course at Southeast Missouri State University and Three Rivers Community College.
Currently about 12 people are enrolled in the course offering at Sikeston, and there's room for more, McGill said.
"I think people think you need to be a kid to learn to play the piano and things do get more difficult as you get older," McGill said.
But with this course that won't be an issue, McGill said.
Haynes said he receives positive feedback from students when the class is over.
"They're actually climbing the walls that they realize that they've learned so much in this one evening. People tell me all the time: 'I learned more in this one evening than in years of piano lessons,'" Haynes said.
Geraldine Way of Sikeston, who enrolled in the upcoming course, hopes to have the same reaction as Haynes' former students.
"I do know how to play the piano but I have some problems with it. I have some trouble with some of the notes on the sheet," Way said.
Way said she has a piano but it's very seldom used.
"I took lessons as a child and got a way from it," Way said. "I'm hoping this will help me get back into it."
The course enrollment fee is $50 and $25 for Haynes' handbook and CD. Students must be a minimum age of 14. To register for the course, contact SCTC at (573) 471-5442.

Space (i.e. the distance between you and your opponent) is one of those concepts that we rarely give any consideration too. Yet it is an important concept. Having the ability to manipulate the space between you and your opponent will give you a definite edge, and in many cases, it is the person who is most able to manipulate and make use of that space that comes out on top.
To make this discussion slightly easier, I will consider the concept of space in four different contexts: non-fight, pre-fight, in-fight and post-fight.
Non-Fight And Space Management
Non-fight is when you are not fighting (funnily enough!). It is when you are leading a normal everyday life that is free from aggressive or violent conflict, which is 99% of the time for most people.
As I pointed out in my article on communication in self defence, even though you are not engaged in any kind of conflict here, you should still be very mindful of how you put yourself across to people in your daily life. This means carrying yourself with enough confidence that any would-be attackers will be put off from targeting you as their next victim. It means remaining switched on and making yourself into a hard target as much as possible without crossing the line into paranoia or some kind of hard man act. Read the communication article for more detail on this.
Here, I want to talk about space. So how does this concept come into play in a non-fight context? It's simple really. You just put as much space between you and potential troublemakers as possible.
That could simply mean steering clear of bad areas and known trouble spots. So if a particular part of town is known as a dodgy area, you don't go there. If a certain bar or nightclub has a reputation for trouble, you steer clear and go somewhere else.
Similarly, if you are walking down the street and you spot an individual or a group of individuals who look like they could be trouble then you put as much distance as possible between you and them. You cross the road; you take a different route. Whatever you need to do to extend that space.
The less space that exists between you and potential trouble the more likely it is that you will get caught up in that trouble.
It's common sense then. The more space you can put between you and potential trouble the less likely you are to get tangled up in it.
Sometimes though, for whatever reason, we end up in conflicts that we have to deal with and the concept of controlling space becomes even more important and immediate.
Pre-Fight Space And Space Management
I've already written at length on the importance of controlling space at the pre-fight stage so I won't go into too much detail on it here. You can read this article here for more information.
Suffice to say that if you find yourself in some kind of aggressive conflict with another, especially if the other person wants to get physically violent, then the concept of managing your space is vitally important.
It is very much up to you to take control of the situation here and not allow your aggressor to dominate or dictate too much how things go. The best way you can achieve this is by being as assertive as possible without being aggressive yourself, and using some kind of fence/guard position to actively control the space between you and your would-be attacker.
Get this part right and there is a good chance you will be able de-escalate the situation and extricate yourself from it. If not, and the other person insists on pushing the matter, because you have been controlling the space between you to a greater or lesser extent, you will have given yourself a good chance of further controlling things if the situation goes physical. By this I mean you will either strike pre-emptively or have time to defend yourself against whatever attack comes your way. Either way, the context has now changed to in-fight.
In-Fight And Space Management
Things are obviously a little more hectic (or a lot more, depending on the situation) at this stage of the game and you'll either be attacking or defending. Whichever you do, space control becomes vitally important.
If you are attacking your attacker then you will need to continually create space for your attack to continue unabated. One of the best ways I know off to do that is to continually index and strike until your attacker is down or distracted long enough for you to escape.
Again, I've already covered indexing at length in this video and in this article, so if you need more detail then check those out. Indexing, as I see it, is an extension of the fence position. You are still controlling the space, but this time to achieve optimum distance from which to strike.
In fighting, you are either creating space or closing space. Whichever you do will depend on the circumstances of the fight and what kind of fighter you are.
In general, if you prefer to strike then you will largely try to create enough space from which you can strike. This is especially true if your attacker has somehow closed that space down by clinching you in some way. If this happens you will have to employ elbow strikes or gouging or head-butting to drive your attacker back and open up the space again so you can strike.
Of course, when you do manage to create space, you are also giving your attacker space in which to strike as well. A good way to prevent your attacker from striking back is to use forward pressure as you strike, keeping your attacker on the back foot and maintaining full control of the space you have created for yourself.
If you are an infighter and prefer to grapple then you will not be worrying about creating space. Your goal will be to close down the space between you and your attacker so that you can clinch and takedown. You will also be taking away your attackers ability to strike, since they won't have enough space to do so with any real effect.
You may also use this strategy if you are forced on the defensive and your attacker gets in first with the strikes. After covering or putting up some kind of guard you may choose to rush forward into your attacker, closing down the space and clinching them in some way. This can be a very instinctive strategy for a lot of people when they are under pressure.
The same applies when you find yourself on the ground. If your attacker is still on his feet and trying to close the space between you, then you can use your legs to kick out and maintain that space until you get a chance to get back to your feet again.
If you're attacker is on top of you, again you can close them down to prevent them striking or you can try to create space to do something else, which could be to strike, to kick them off of you or to lock them up in some way. Again, it comes down to your preferred way of fighting and exactly how much space you have to work with.
Quite often in fighting you won't have a choice in how much space there is. If you are in an environment where little or no space exists, like a toilet cubicle or small room, then you will have to work with what you have. This is why it is a good idea to practice with varying amounts of space in training. Lots of people continually train in large areas where there is plenty of room to move around. If you are not careful you will risk getting a false sense of security that comes from always relying on the fact that there is always space available. So try to practice sometimes in confined spaces to counteract this.
Post-Fight And Space Management
Even after the fight is over you should still be aware of your space. When you no longer have to fight then you should leave the scene, putting as much space between you and your downed attacker as possible.
If there are other people around then you are back to controlling your personal space again, making sure no one else gets in to have a go.
This is even more important when you may have to hang around afterwards, perhaps to stay with someone who is injured. You should still be on high alert and your guard should still be up in case things kick off again. I've been in instances before when I've thought things where over, only to have them kick off again.
Space Management Conclusion
So hopefully you can see how important the concept of space control is in self defence, before, during and even after the fight. The better you understand the concept of space and how and why you should control it, the more effective you will be when it comes to applying your particular form of self defence. Play around with the concept in training until you become skilled at manipulating space to your advantage. Such practice will be time well spent.

David Haig: Bending Timbercomments (14) October 6th, 2010 in blogs, videos
Video Length: 5:25
Produced by: Jonathan Binzen
Born in Malaysia and raised in England (where he got a degree in history at Oxford), David Haig moved to New Zealand in his early 20s after his parents emigrated there. He and his wife, Clare, bought a small house with a view of an estuary not far from the city of Nelson. Although early on Haig considered throwing pots or keeping bees, he soon found his way into carpentry and then furniture making. With six months experience working under a furniture restorer, Haig opened his own shop restoring furniture and gradually began making pieces of his own design.

The rocker he designed in 1989 changed his career, bringing him acclaim and customers from around the world--he's sent rockers to 16 countries--and over the last 20 years he's made nearly 200 of them. In addition to his rockers, Haig builds a range of other furniture, pieces that typically include curving elements produced with steam-bending or kerf-bending.
Haig teaches regularly at the Centre for Fine Woodworking in Nelson, New Zealand, and also at the Center for Furniture Craftsmanship in Camden, Maine. A well-produced video explaining how Haig builds his rocker is available through his Web site.

I have been fascinated by the way that wood can be re-formed by the simple application of moist heat and applying pressure
to change the molecular make up for many years now.
My father was a CPO in the Royal Navy and it wasn't until he arrived home with an old whaler with several frames and stringers, missing that I became aware of the importance of well-built vessels and how much care was necessary to ensure the seaworthiness of a vessel.
He had an old 6 inch cast iron pipe with a crutch at one end and a wood fire at the other.As you can probably imagine I spent far too much time (in my eyes) holding the dolly, which without doubt must be the most boring task known to man.
He did have the misfortune to be torpedoed several times while serving in the Russian,Malta and Africa Campaigns.I should imagine that this would cement his reasoning that shipshape was of the utmost importance.
By the way David we lived in Whakatane B.O.P. and my father was secretary of the Union at the N.Z.F.P Board Mills.

Thank you for the inspiration to go back to doing wood working as my father done in the past. Just the fact that you had this vision and made it a reality is wonderful. I am still in awe of how you placed every item together and made it look so elegant, seamless and ergonomic.
Must thank Fine Woodworking for putting this relevant piece in this issue. As remind to all wood workers, new and old that the Vision and Quality must not be forgotten.
Again thank you.

The apartment is very pleasant, colored and endowed with every confort. It is located in a central district, next to the Opera theater and well served by the subway. Facilities includes an elevator to get to the fourth floor. A fantastic shower covered of stone leans out on the bedroom... just the better way to relax after a long walk along the "calles" of Madrid.
Fernando is really nice. He has suggested us good places whether to have lunch and to dine and he has been very available for the check in the check out.
Great experience.
Thank you very much
David & Fabio
It has been a great pleasure to enjoy the house of Ferdinand, who has also been an attentive host and facilitator. Ideally located in the heart of the city, a house full of details besides being beautiful, adds comfort and feel great all in one. Thank you very much Fernando and the next.
Ha sido un enorme placer disfrutar de la casa de Fernando, que además ha sido un anfitrión atento y facilitador. Situación ideal en pleno corazón de la ciudad, una casa llena de detalles además de ser preciosa, suma de comodidad y sensaciones estupendas todo en uno. Muchas gracias Fernando y hasta la próxima.
appartement très bien situé, central (métro, commerces, restaurants..à proximité) mais calme, au 4ème étage avec un minuscule ascenseur; bien équipé, agréable; aucun problème à l'arrivée pour la remise des clefs ou au départ; bref, tout s'est très bien passé!

Very nice appartment. In walking distance from all interessting places
Fernando is a perfect host. He had made list with restaurants, places to go and shopping
I would like to stay here, if I come back to Madrid
Lone Krarup
Fernando is a really really great host and has a comfy, modern, beautiful apartment. We really enjoyed our stay! We didn't buy any metro tickets because you can reach a lot of cool spots by foot. There are a lot of shops, restaurants and cafés and the metro station is just a minute from the apartment (as well as a supermarket).Fernando sends you a lot of recommendations for good restaurants and cafés in advance. All of the those places we went to were good and offered delicious food! Like Mad Cafe and its best burger! Gooood!
One thing you should know - The area where the apartment is located is really vivid - but that is how Madrid is like. Full of life.And great food.And museums. And and and.....Thanks Fernando.
All Perfect.
Todo Perfecto.
Beautiful apartment, laid out with great taste, perfect central location. We are already planning to return!
Very friendly host who spontaneously offered a gesture on the price because there was water damage in the apartment and the repairs had not had time to be completed before we arrived.
We highly recommend it!
Appartement magnifique, aménagé avec beaucoup de goût, situation parfaite et centrale. Nous prévoyons déjà d'y retourner!
Hôte très sympathique qui nous a spontanément proposé un geste sur le prix car il y avait eu un dégât des eaux dans l'appartement et les réparations n'avaient pas eu le temps d'être terminées avant notre arrivée.
Nous vous le recommandons sans hésitation!
Perfect apartment. Perfect location!
We have spent a great stay on the floor.

Alternative Treatments for Ovarian Cysts
It may not be possible to completely eliminate cystic problems on your ovaries. However, you can certainly minimize the probability that they will form and grow.
You can do this in several basic ways:
- Improve the quality of your diet.
- Increase your exercise.
- Reduce chronic stress.
- Use bio-identical hormones, supplements and herbs to help balance your hormonal system.
- Improve your overall health.
Proper Diet Controls Ovarian Cysts
Did you know that there's a correlation between the cysts and what you eat?
So if you want to reduce the risk of developing uncomfortable and possibly dangerous cysts, you can simply change your diet.
This was born out by a recent study from the Institute of Research Pharmacology in Italy. Over a ten year span, they analyzed the diet of 225 women with benign ovarian cysts and 450 women who did not have the cysts.
And guess what?
The researchers discovered that the type of food eaten influenced the development of cysts!
For example, they said that women who consumed the most beef and cheese developed the highest number of cysts. In contrast, consumption of green vegetables provided a strong protective effect. This study makes it clear that what you eat will influence whether or not you develop these cysts.
Healthy Diet Tips for Minimizing Ovarian Cysts
Here are a few tips that will help you be less burdened by cysts.
- Eat at least five servings of fresh vegetables every day.
- Eat more fish and less red meat.
- Avoid all processed meats.
- Don't drink milk and reduce consumption of cheese.
- Eat nuts and seeds (walnuts, almonds, etc.) instead of packaged snacks.
- Stay away from fast food restaurants.
- Minimize all packaged, process foods and try to eat fresh, whole foods instead.
- Drink water or tea instead of soft drinks.
If you want a more complete dietary approach, The Natural Diet Solution to PCOS and Infertility e-book is a recommended resource. The diet for PCOS, polycystic ovaries and ovarian cysts is essentially the same.
Improve Circulation to Your Abdomen
Cysts on your ovaries, especially larger ones, can create substantial abdominal discomfort. To get some relief from the discomfort, and to improve circulation, you could put a heating pad or hot water bottle over your lower abdomen. A warm bath might also be helpful.
Another idea is to apply a castor oil pack. Castor oil packs have been used in traditional medicine for many years as a healing agent.

Black Experience
Will Blacks be left in the cold?
| 11/2/2011, 7:39 a.m.
In the bid for casinos, will Blacks be left in the cold?
There are plenty of pros and cons as to whether Miami should allow destination casino gambling to take up residents in our town. State officials seem to be salivating with the possibility of a 10 percent return in taxes on the take from the casinos. But as it has pointed out time after time, where will Miami-Dade County and the City of Miami fit in? Someone will have to deal with traffic problems like when the Heat or theres a major concert at AmericanAirlines Arena while just down the road the Arsht Center is hosting a sold-out show. On nights like those, well need a whole lot more police officers. But who will pay them and what communities will suffer with slower response time when the cops that normally handle their areas have been pulled away for downtown duty? Forget the potential increase in crime or addictions. What will happen to the small businesses that are interspersed in the downtown area? And what about some of our newer business districts the Design District and Wynwood or even the convention center in Miami Beach. If the designers of the casinos follow previous examples, they could make their centers such wonderful places for gambling, fine dining and entertainment that folks may not need or want to frequent out in search of other venues. Finally, even if our city and county commissioners are able to negotiate deals that handle the concerns we have raised thus far, theres still one thing that has not been adequately addressed: what percentage of Blacks will have an opportunity to own parts of these new endeavors? The AAA and Marlins Stadiums projects created several new millionaires we hear none of whom were Black. Black commissioners have been clear about the need for job training for Blacks. But unless policies are changed changed in writing many of our people will be ineligible to work in any casino because they or someone in their family has a criminal record. And while Overtown becomes overrun with new money and new money makers, where will the current residents fit in or will they? Lets make sure our Black leaders dont give their votes to any casino project unless we have guarantees that we wont be left out in the cold . . . again.

LUCASVILLE - Eli Duff is enjoying a productive postseason.
The 6-foot-2 senior striker scored two goals as Warren shut out Waverly, 4-0, in an Ohio Division 2 district boys' soccer final at Lucasville Valley High Saturday.
Warren, a repeat district title champion, advances to regional "Sweet 16" competition, and will play the Bexley Lions in a semi at Logan High at 7 p.m. Wednesday.

Warren's Alex Miller (32) dribbles forward as Waverly's Nick Bradley (14) rushes over to defend. Behind Miller is Warrior teammate Evan Yabs (9). Warren won the district championship match 4-0 over Waverly at Valley High Saturday.
Bexley (12-3-4) beat Columbus St. Francis DeSales, 2-1, Saturday night.
Duff, who leads the Andrew Johnson-coached Warriors in goals with 17, is averaging a goal a match in the four playoff matches. After going scoreless in the royal blue and white's 3-0 sectional opener win against Jackson, he got the equalizer in his team's 2-1 sectional final overtime triumph over Marietta.
Duff then added an insurance goal in Warren's 4-0 win against Fairfield Union in a district semifinal.

About midway through the first half, Duff stretched Warren's lead to 3-0 when he booted home Miller's cross. Just before the break, Koch scored with Ty Kroner assisting, and the Warriors owned a commanding 4-0 halftime advantage.
In the second half, Warren coasted home with the district final victory, its second in as many years against Waverly.
Last year, Warren bowed out 3-0 in the regional to DeSales.

Another spring storm has many people around the Grand Valley scrambling to prepare for a frigid night.
Over the past month we've seen a scattering of above normal temperatures, which has a lot of people itching for summer to begin so they can start landscaping. "It's been a really big spring for us, especially last weekend," says Manuel Tavarez of Sutherlands.
This mad rush for plants has many retailers ordering more just to keep up. "We carry more plants than we have for the past couple years," says Tavarez
Once again, the Grand Valley was fooled by Mother Nature. Daytime highs reached 80 degrees on Wednesday, but then came the wind, pushing out the warm air and bringing us another freeze warning. "Our average freeze date is 22nd of April," says Matthew Aleksa of the National Weather Service. Temperatures are forecasted to drop below freezing, which while very rare for this time of year, it's still not a seasonal record. "May 15th, 1916 in which we dropped to 32 degrees so that's the record for the latest freeze," says Aleksa. But it could be an overnight record. "The record for the overnight low is 33 degrees which was set back in 1999," says Aleksa.
Experts suggest if you've already planted, cover the more sensitive flowers with plastic to protect them from the cold. "Anything with a soft leaf on it, that's what you really need to be careful with," says Tavarez. You can build a "tent" out of the plastic but make sure to give the plants room to breathe. "The main thing is to not let the plastic touch the plants," says Tavarez. Bring any potted or hanging plants inside and don't forget about sensitive trees. "The fruit trees are what you really need to be concerned about," says Tavarez. So do what the pro's do and spray them down with water to trap in the heat.

July... This is it! The time of year I dream about (that is unless I'm dreaming of my August garden tomatoes). The selection of berries and stone fruit right now couldn't be better, and I've been going a little crazy buying all different types -- with no plan on how I will be using any of these fruits. That is, until I found this recipe for a crisp topping in Chez Panisse Desserts by Lindsey Shere. The topping is very similar to a recipe I use from the Union Square Cookbook for a Rhubarb Crisp that's loaded with walnuts. The difference -- Shere's crisp topping makes about 4 times the amount. Store it in the refrigerator for a week (or in the freezer for the duration of stone fruit and berry season), and pull it out when you need a quick-to-assemble dessert. There, wasn't that easy?
Use whatever fruit and berries you have on hand. I made three small gratins yesterday for breakfast -- yes, breakfast! The filling was mostly fresh peach slices with blueberries and raspberries added to the mix. I served them with sweetened, whipped heavy cream, but crème fraîche, sour cream with a little sugar, or vanilla ice milk would make a good substitute.
Stone Fruit and Berry Crisp
• 3 1/4 cups flour
• 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 6 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 2 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• 10 1/2 ounces cold butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
• 2 cups chopped walnuts
FOR THE FILLING: (You can use any combination you like)
• 4 peaches, peeled and slices
• large handful of blueberries
• large handful of raspberries
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 tablespoon flour
1. PREHEAT OVEN TO 400˚F. In the bowl of a food processor, combine the flour, sugars, and cinnamon. Pulse briefly to combine. Add the butter and pulse until the size of small peas. Transfer to a large bowl and stir in the walnuts. At this point, the crisp topping can be stored in the refrigerator for a week, or in an air-tight container in the freezer.
2. Gently toss the fruits with the 1 tablespoon of flour and sugar. Fill individual gratins dishes or one large gratin with the filling. Generously cover the top of the fruit with crisp topping.
3. Put the gratin(s) on a parchment-lined baking sheet and place on the middle rack of the preheated oven. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the topping is nicely-browned. Remove crisp from oven and cool. Serve slightly warm or at room temperature with whipped cream, créme fraîche, or vanilla ice milk.

More than 27 million Americans suffer from arthritis, with osteoarthritis being the most common type. This degenerative joint disease is characterized by stiffness, loss of movement and pain caused by inflammation and a break-down of cartilage around joints that results in bones scraping against each other. Although arthritis can't be cured, a handful of herbal and home remedies can reduce the inflammation, stiffness and pain associated with this degenerative joint disease.
Osteoarthritis occurs most often in the hands, knees and hips. Photo By hapal/Courtesy Flickr.
Fish oil: The omega 3 fatty acids found in fish oil supplements help reduce joint inflammation. Although flaxseed oil is commonly used as an alternative to fish oil, flaxseed oil doesn't provide the same benefits for arthritics as fish oil supplements.
Bromelain: Derived from pinepapple, this enzyme fights the compounds in the body that cause pain and inflammation. Bromelain also breaks down proteins that hinder blood circulation and cause blood clots, which can help to relieve pain.
Glucosamine sulfate, which can be found naturally in the fluid around joints, can prevent the breakdown and loss of cartilage and fluid around joints and help rebuild lost cartilage. Research has shown glucosamine sulfate to be effective at treating osteoarthritis, especially of the knee.
Capsaicin cream won't prevent or restore lost cartilage, but they can help reduce pain. Found in cayenne peppers, this compound interferes with transmission of pain signals between brain and body, helping to relieve pain in suffers of arthritis.
Devil's claw: This creeping herb from southern Africa is prized for it anti-inflammatory properties. Devil's claw can also alleviate stiffness associated with arthritis.
Turmeric: The curcumin in turmeric contains anti-inflammatory properties that can reduce joint pain swelling.
Ginger is useful for treating both inflammation and pain caused by arthritis.
White willow is a natural source of salicin, the main ingredient in aspirin. This natural pain reliever can also help reduce inflammation.
