MOVIE REVIEW:The Wizard of Oz
This rightfully ranks on the list of most folks' 10 best of all time. I
grew up with it on annual re-runs (in the fog of my brain they were
always hosted by Danny Kaye) that were a big deal every Easter. The
film itself is full of ironies: it was released in August, 1939 to an
indifferent audience and bombed. Producer Mervyn LeRoy was so
financially damaged he swore never to put another cent of his own money
in another movie. No adaption of Oz has ever been a hit in it's initial
release. The film didn't achieve it's classic status until it was
recycled on TV in the 50's (more irony: the vast majority of the first
TV audiences viewed it in blazing black & white, taking out much of
it's color transforming wallop). The back story production drama is
well documented and only adds to the film's mystique. Unlike so many
movies of our childhood, it remains as delightful as ever. It's an
honest 10/10.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
It's probably safe to say I've seen this film more than any other,
hearkening back to my days as a kid in the late Fifties/early Sixties.
Back then it was an annual staple on network TV, usually in the spring
around Easter time, and every year my family would gather around the TV
set to watch this familiar classic once again. The time eventually came
when it stopped being shown, and like all good things coming to an end,
it was something one had to deal with and get over. But times change,
and with today's technology and availability, one can watch "The Wizard
of Oz" just about any time you'd want to.
Knowing the story while viewing with an adult's eye today, one is
struck by the simple yet timeless message that's delivered by Dorothy
and her friends. Even before embarking on their mission to save Dorothy
from the Wicked Witch, the Tin Man had a heartfelt concern for rescuing
her, the Scarecrow was already working on a plan, and the Lion somehow
found the courage to go along. All three already had the one thing they
most desired without realizing it – a wonderful lesson for young minds
and young hearts to see demonstrated so effectively in such a charming
and engaging story.
As for Dorothy, she also came to realize that you can take the road
home with the shoes you're wearing right now. Along the way, it was
useful to learn that it's always best to start at the beginning, some
people without brains do an awful lot of talking, only bad witches are
ugly, and dogs can always spot a phony. And as we grow older and start
to lose our innocence, it's best to heed the advice of the Wizard
himself – pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.
Since I'm in the habit of reading other viewers' comments of the films
I've watched on this site, I fully expected to see some negative ones
for "The Wizard of Oz". However the harshness of some of these reviews
rises to the level of vitriol, and in a way that makes me sad. The
world of 2010 isn't the world of 1939, this I understand. But it seems
to me there must be something missing in ones's life to be unaffected
by the charm and delight of the characters offered here. It leads me to
believe that for some, there may have been no place like home to begin

Almost twenty years have passed since the advent of the tissue engineering, whicht uses cells, scaffolds, and growth factors for regeneration of neotissues. The number of investigations on tissue engineering is still increasing tremendously. Nevertheless, it seems likely that the number of reports describing clinical trials of tissue engineering will remain very limited. Even the studies that apply tissue engineering research to large animals have not been performed yet on a large scale. The major objective of this book is to address this question from a science and technology point of view, and to describe the principles of basic technologies that have currently been developed by numerous research groups.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2016
The name Blumengarten is a proud symbol of ancient Jewish culture. Before the late Middle Ages, people were known only by a single name. However, as the population increased and travelers set out on their journeys, it became necessary for people to adopt a second name to identify themselves. Jewish hereditary surnames were adopted from a variety of different sources. Numerous Jewish surnames are ornamental surnames, which are names that have an ornamental value and are not necessarily related to the localities, occupations, nicknames or given names of the first person that used the name. However, ornamental names were often derived from elements that described locations or features of geography, animals and birds, occupations or personal names. The Ashkenazic Jewish name Blumengarten is an ornamental name derived from the Yiddish word blum and the German word blume, which mean flower.
Other References
The Blumengarten Family Crest was acquired from the Houseofnames.com archives. The Blumengarten Family Crest was drawn according to heraldic standards based on published blazons. We generally include the oldest published family crest once associated with each surname.

Cut Off man charged with burglary, police said
Published: Tuesday, April 13, 2010 at 6:01 a.m.

THIBODAUX - A Cut Off man was caught stealing metal items from a Galliano home Friday, police said
Lafourche Parish Sheriff deputies said they found Rod Pellegrin, 45, 291 E. 75th St., shortly after 1 p.m. in the shed behind a home of 160 W. 161st St., Galliano where he told them he was looking for his pressure washer and so he had permission to be on the property.
However, after talking to the property owner, police said that was not the case and the metal items in the back of Pellegrin's truck belonged to the property owner.
During a pat down, deputies said they found a partially burned, suspected marijuana cigarette in a package of opened cigarettes.
Pellegrin was charged with simple burglary and possession of marijuana. He remains in the Lafourche Parish jail on $50,500 bond.

Obama dismisses claims of racial slur on slippers
Not stereotyping, White House says
By Dave Boyer
The Washington Times
Thursday, September 29, 2011
Facing an uproar from President Obamas most loyal base of supporters, the White House on Thursday rejected claims that Mr. Obama stereotyped blacks when he told them to take off your bedroom slippers and work for his re-election.
I have heard him make similar comments to all sorts of different groups, said presidential press secretary Jay Carney, who fielded nearly a dozen questions from the White House press corps about Mr. Obamas comments and his relationship with black supporters. Hes certainly used vivid language, similarly vivid language, before a variety of audiences.
But a search of Mr. Obamas speeches dating back to mid-May shows that he has used the quip about bedroom slippers only one other time on Sept. 14 at North Carolina State University, while promoting his jobs bill. About 8 percent of students at N.C. State are black.
The president stirred up the issue when he urged the predominantly black audience at the annual Congressional Black Caucus Foundation awards dinner in Washington on Saturday to stop criticizing him and get to work on his re-election.
(Excerpt) Read more at washingtontimes.com ...
What if Bush had said that in front of the Congressional Black Caucasians?
Either that is a slip, or it was intentional. In either case, it is hilarious.
I wasn't aware slippers had anything to do with racial slurs.
Every day I find I'm much more ignorant than I ever thought I was.
In fact, Obama's own ancestors owned some of the ancestors of those typical black Americans because they were slave owners.
I disagree with Rush Limbaugh. Rush said that Obama talks "honky" when he's talking to white Americans.
The truth is, that is Obama's true dialect. He is NOT of the black American culture that speaks black American dialect. Obama is (if he really was born here) the descendant of a very recent immigrant.
Obama speaks black American only when he's talking to black Americans. That's where he's fake.
Bottom line, Obama was indeed stereotyping a group of people - a group he's never been a part of, grew up or lived in.
The insinuation that most black people are unemployed, on welfare, and thus lounge around their houses in bedroom slippers all day is about as racist as it gets. At least that's what we would all be told if a Republican ever uttered those words.
Clearly you've never been to Selma before like Obama had.
Same if Palin had said it to a large group of women gardeners. Nothing would have been made of the comment.
Thin-skinned is getting old..
When I heard that line, I was immediately reminded of Aretha Franklin, in her role in the movie.."The Blues Brothers". She wore scuffs, a type of bedroom slipper, in her luncheonette. In the movie it was cute...but to an audience of black professionals, students and workers, it was demeaning. My jaw dropped when I heard it.
Fixed it fer ya.
I'm with you....I think I'd half to bend over backwards twice over to think this was racist. Obama stinks (uh oh, racist??), but this is just silly.
Who Is This Guy?
Barack Obama is definitely not who you think he is, whatever that is. Despite his "poor-boy" myth, Obama is:
a privileged African-American, educated at the finest schools, who has not shared the black American experience
by birth, blood and training, a Muslim, who later became a member of a Marxist, Black-African church
a socialist whose politics are rooted in Marx and whose tactics were conceived by the communist, Alinsky
a master at shaping his own mythology
completely unqualified to be Commander in Chief
and, he is not now, nor ever has been, a "natural born citizen"
Best Obama site on the net.
All the sordid facts.
Herman Cain has more blackness in his pinky finger than Obama has in his whole useless body.
Knowing how Obama operates, look for him to slip quips about bedroom slippers into his next 20 public appearances. "See, I always talk about bedroom slippers. What's all this fuss about, anyway?"
That's pretty much how he handled the furor over bowing to the Saudi king - after that, you saw him bow to everyone from emperors to shoeshine guys. "See, I always bow to everyone. What's all this fuss about, anyway?"
I love it when the Carney Barker steps into the fray. He can twist anything from being merely stupid to laughably ignorant. The Carney Barker hits me the same way Bagdad Bob did.
What do the slippers have to say about all of this? Are the slippers on peoples feet because they don't have work?
THE maternal ancestors of Barack Obama once owned slaves, genealogists have revealed.
According to the genealogists, George Washington Overall, Obamas great-great-great-great grandfather, owned two slaves, a 15-year-old girl and 25-year-old man, who were listed in the 1850 Kentucky census. Another maternal ancestor owned two older slaves.
As you also stated they traded slaves, I have read that also. Perhaps also on his mom's side or perhaps on his father's side.
Apparently, anything can be a racial slur. If you don't know why it's a slur - then you must be a racist. I guess.
Personally, I don't make the connection. I guess I'm a racist, too.
We've all been slaves at some point in our ancestral past.
At the risk of being labled "racist," I will confirm that some African Americans do wear slippers in public. I have seen several young African American women wearing slippers, mainly at malls. It is a type of fashion. My wife, a public school teacher, told me that it got to be so common that the schools had to ban the practice. And some in the African American community do not like the fashion - can't say that I blame them. Maybe that was what Obama was actually refering to and what some took offense to - airing the African Community's own "problems" in public.
Yes, but liberal media and Obama himself claim that it's impossible for Obama to be accused of stereotyping black Americans since he himself is a black American. My point is that Obama is not of their culture or background. In fact, his ancestors actually owned them.
His black dialect is as fake as Hillary's.
Hey! You Lie Obama! Yeah you! Your man Jay Carney says Hes certainly used vivid language, - - - " when describing your sorry style of speaking.
Well, here is some of MY "vivid language" for you: For the good of the Nation, and your family, PLEASE RESIGN NOW !
BTW, how are those public "Meltdown" speeches to yourself coming along? I thought your year long self-speech program reached a new level with your CBC speech.
You sure fooled Robo-Representative Maxine Waters. She said "I didn't know who he was talking to?"
Keep on striving in your "race to the bottom." Socialist leadership is such a lonely place to be stuck in - - - .
The suggestion from the former CEO of Godfather's Pizza came in an exchange about why the GOP hopeful doesn't consider himself an African American.
"I am an American. Black. Conservative," he said in explaining his view on the matter. "I dont use African American, because Im American, Im black and Im conservative. I dont like people trying to label me. African American is socially acceptable for some people, but I am not some people."
Cain said that he considers himself to be "a black man in America" and feels stronger ties to the United States than to Africa. He suggested his perspective has been informed by the fact that he can trace most of his ancestors to the U.S. and it also "goes back to slavery."
The presidential contender went on to draw a contrast between himself and the president, who he described as "more of an international,"
In "black speak", "slippers" means rubbers or condoms.
Look it up!
You must be really young. Of course it us a racist stereotype - remember James Watt, Reagan's Secretary of the Interior who was hounded from office for saying blacks are fine as long as they have comfortable shoes and a warm place to take a crap.
"Put on your bedroom slippers 'cause we going out tonight."
"it got to be so common that the schools had to ban the practice"
ROFL - this reminds me of my youth.
1 day I somehow forgot I was still wearing slippers well after I got on the bus. Being a teenage girl, I was majorly embarrassed (in that time, I guess, doing such a thing was no fashion). I was practically hysterical when I got to school and insisted the office call my mother (she happened to head the "special" school affiliated with my high school) to have her take me to get my proper shoes! Well, she wouldn't do it (I guess she figured as the head admin and a teacher she was not going to disrupt things for stupid slippers), but her secretary did come and take me home!
How pathetic. I probably could've lived with it, but being 15 I guess I had to be melodramatic about it!
I don't remember that controversy.
Years ago, I occasionally visited the office of a woman who was extremely high in a local government agency. Sometimes I had business with her, sometimes I stopped by to say hello after meeting with others in that building. She was black. So was her secretary, who had a cubicle nearby. The secretary invariably wore bedroom slippers at work. I don't know if she had foot problems or was merely sloppy, but I thought it appropriate — particularly since her boss had many important visitors (infinitely more important than I), not only from outside that agency but also from all over the country and sometimes from other countries.
This same local government agency had a problem with staff (of whatever races/ethnicities) dressing inappropriately. As far as footgear went, they prohibited sandals (which from what I could see, most of the staff seemed to ignore) and also flip-flops (I don't know if that policy was followed or not). Nothing was ever said about bedroom slippers, and the secretary continued to wear hers at work.
The most famous pair of slippers I remember were worn by the maid in the Tom and Jerry cartoons
I grew up in the South. This IS racial.
AA's who worked for 'white folks' stood on their feet all day and had to walk home (because of the busing restrictions). Slippers relieved the foot pain when they got home.
Also.....when growing up....going to "the Pig".....slippers and curlers were worn out in the open when shopping. It almost seemed like the 'fashion' at the time.
He's trying to conjure up 'the old times'.
Hey, Zero???? TIMES HAVE CHANGED!!!!! STOP HARPING!!!!!
Lying around all day collecting your welfare check and never bothering to get fully dressed, is the stereotype. Hard to believe you never heard that one.
Yup :-)
R.E.S.P.E.C.T.!!!! She was great in that, great music...and 0bama should show some respect to his audiences...
Obama was probably just referencing the "loose shoes" portion of the infamous Earl Buts comment.
Earl Butz.
Darn automatic spelling correct.
His father wasn't even an "immigrant." He was a foreign graduate student who was just here temporarily to study (and have a good time, evidently) and never even had any intention of immigrating to the US.
Obama has absolutely no connection with real African American life or experience. All he knows is what he got from Jeremiah Wright and listening to some mega-rich rapper.
So true but scary
Nope. Never.
Unfortunately I've learned alot of untoward things on the 'net in the last decade that I never heard of - and I always thought I was very savvy, if still personally innocent.

Do I ever get tired of repeating the same Sunday ride so frequently? Up Old LaHonda, over Haskins, lunch at Arcangeli Pescadero market, north into the headwind on Stage and up Tunitas? I have no doubt that Arcangeli market has much to do with the route choice! The chicken club sandwich and oversized cookies are pretty darned awesome.
Of course, to get there, you have to survive the climb over Old LaHonda, where there's zero chance of me keeping up with Kevin, until you can feel like you're on equal footing on the grade over Haskins. Today was no different; Kevin was a minute or two ahead of me up Old LaHonda, but I managed to keep pace with him on Haskins. Certain climbs he has a bit of trouble on, or I'm a bit stronger on, not sure which.
We made a brief stop on the way out to Pescadero to take a photo of the fallen Mastadon; poor guy has been on the ground since early winter. The Triceratops has been sadly looking upon its fallen friend the entire time, waiting for someone to put him upright again so they can face off across the field.
Stage Road is my sole remaining climb where I have a chance to do better than Kevin, especially the second bump heading into San Gregorio, and the final climb up to Highway 1. I have no idea why this is, and I doubt it will last, but I'll take it while I can. Once we get to Tunitas, it's all-Kevin all the time.
With favorable winds it was a good day to "launch" Kevin on Tunitas. Any day that you can get close to 10 minutes from the coast to the entrance of the forest is a good day to try and get a good time. I watched Kevin ride away, hoping that he'd just get stronger and stronger, but apparently he finished just a couple minutes ahead of me. I felt like I could have done a bit better if only I hadn't felt a need to keep standing up to keep my legs going, kind of like American Mara Abbott did the final 10k of the Women's Olympic Road Race… a flaw that cost her the race, as she got caught just before the finish line. For me, does it really matter if I climb Kings in 48:40 or 49:30? The main goal is to finish on the same day as my son. 🙂

Rowdy is an emotional family drama with high voltage action and all other commercial ingredients to woo the film goers. Mohan Babu and Vishnu Manchu's performances are the main attractions in the film. RGV's gripping narration and punch dialogues, Sai Karthik's scintillating music, beautiful craftsmanship of Satish Muthyala's cinematography, a few intense action, comedy, romantic and sentimental scenes and beautiful serene locales are other attractions of the movie.
In terms of its story, Ram Gopal Varma has definitely taken inspiration from his own hit Hindi movie Sarkar, but he has done a few changes to the plot besides adding commercial elements to suit the taste of Telugu audience. It can be said that he has made it a notch better than the Bollywood film. This film has been made purely in RGV style.
Set in the arid landscapes of the faction ridden Rayalaseema region, Rowdy is a political thriller that revolves around the struggle of the hero against the larger than life villain, who has corrupted the society with his thirst for power. Though the film is rough and tough, it touches your hearts. It is a feel-good film packed with perfect shade of all human emotions.
Anna Garu (Mohan Babu) is a powerful leader in Rayalaseema and political leaders and officials work on his guidance. He has two sons - Bhushan (Kishore), who is arrogant and cruel, and Krishna (Vishnu Manchu), who is an obedient and intelligent guy. Anna Garu does not treat Bhushan due to his bad nature. Anna Garu's enemies (KR, Vedantham Murthy and Jeeva) take this opportunity and plan to kill him with Bhushan's help. How Krishna saves his father will form crux of the story.
Mohan Babu, who essayed a never-played-before role in Rowdy, steals the show with his sterling performance. He impresses the viewers with stern look and dialogue diction. As his obedient son, Vishnu has also done good acting. He impresses viewers in action sequences. Shanvi has done justice to her role as Vishnu's love interest. As Mohan Babu's wife, Jayasudha has given a convincing performance. Tanikella Bharani, Vedantham Murthy and others are good in their respective roles.
Rowdy has sound production elements, and Sai Karthik's songs and background score are the main attraction in the technical front. A couple of his composition are good and his BGM helps RGV to elevate the intensity of emotional scenes. Satish Muthyala's cinematography is another big strength of the film. Other technical departments have also delivered good job.
Overall, Ram Gopal Varma has taken story from his Sarkar and weaved a different screenplay for Rowdy keeping Telugu audience in mind. He has also added a few commercial ingredients to it. It is good entertainer and will be a treat for action lovers. Must watch film for Mohan Babu fans. Continue to read Rowdy movie viewers' review in the slideshow.

Tessa McBrayer, a graduate of the University of Chicago Divinity School, is active in an Alliance of Baptists congregation in Chicago.
I was having coffee with a friend, discussing the strange ritual of applying to jobs online. She has been looking for a teaching position with a livable salary; I am hoping to transition away from overnight shifts as a hospital chaplain. The job search involves daily rejection. As so many of us seek meaningful work to no avail, there's a cumulative toll to not being chosen.
As I prepared to be ordained recently, my mind kept returning to the people in my life who might be perplexed by this decision. I have friends and colleagues who wonder, quite justly, what the church has to offer that one cannot find elsewhere. I thought about how I might describe what pulls me toward ministry and the church in particular.

Oil Pulling with Olive Oil - A Healthy Choice!
Aug 12, 2016
Oil pulling is still not widely known to most Americans, although much of the world has been oil pulling for many centuries. This very simple health technique offers big health benefits. It's safe and inexpensive, so consider trying it for yourself. We believe that you'll be glad that you did.
Reports From Earth Clinic Readers on the Benefits of Oil Pullling with Olive Oil
Carlos is happy about his new Hollywood smile!
[YEA] Ok I just want to report after few days I have those white teeth that when I look in the mirror I'm amazed. I always had beautiful big teeth but yellow in color so my smile wasn't such a remarkable thing. I don't smoke or drink coffee but they were yellow no matter the toothpaste I used. I don't know if I should keep doing it cause people will really notice it's getting to be a hollywood smile lol!
Rusty wrote us about his much-improved health after oil pulling for two years.
[YEA] I have been oil pulling for the past 2 years and the first thing that I have noticed is that I have not had a bad cold since then, and using olive oil at first was harsh but, I have become used to it. Losing weight I am way over weight and since I have been oil pulling I have lost 50 lbs and feel much better. I oil pull every morning before I have breakfast for about 20 minutes. When I come home from work I oil pull again this time longer over one hour while on my computer. Oil pulling is a part of my daily life.
My over all condition has improved a lot. No more asthma atacks or wheezing and with the loss of the weight I find myself getting around much more instead of watching TV all the time. I am not as tired as how I used to be after losing the toxins that plays a major roll in my life. At the beginning my body was purging out all the impurities and this does happen. Depending on your condition. Everyone's condition is different.
The Basics
Oil pulling is really nothing more complicated than swishing oil around in your mouth for a few minutes. It's that easy. Oil pulling began as a form of Ayurvedic medicine, known as oil gargling. Since then, oil pulling has continued to be recognized for its ability to eliminate toxins and treat a wide range of health conditions.
How to Do Oil Pulling
- Put a tablespoon of olive oil (or your favorite oil) into your mouth first thing in the morning.
- Swish the oil in your mouth and move jaws up and down as if chewing. The idea is to keep the oil moving.
- Do this for 15-20 minutes. If you can't do it that long, just do what you can. It becomes easier.
- Do not swallow the oil; it is collecting the bacteria in your mouth.
- Spit out the oil, rinse your mouth with water (some use salt water) and brush your teeth.
The Reported Benefits of Oil Pulling with Olive Oil
The primary benefit of oil pulling is improved oral health, but the payoffs don't stop there. Studies have found that poor oral health and chronic gum infections are linked to serious health issues, such as heart problems. Specific health benefits that have been reported by Earth Clinic posters from oil pulling with olive oil include:
- Better mouth health and cleaner, whiter teeth, fresher breath;
- Sinus cleared, less wheezing and coughing;
- Finger nails grew fast and had white tips;
- Hair and beard grew thicker and softer;
- Increased energy and mental clarity;
- Elevated mood (many people said this);
- Softer skin, one person reported that their cracked heels were healed;
- Eyes stopped feeling itchy or dry;
- Many people reported becoming de-addicted from tobacco, alcohol and/or caffeine;
- Lost weight doing oil-pulling using extra virgin olive oil.
In addition to detoxing, olive oil also delivers a number of phytonutrients and antioxidants to the body. After all, most health-conscious people keep olive oil handy for salads and cooking. Olive oil is often recommended for those attempting to eat a "heart-healthy" diet.
Can Another Oil be Used?
Many people ask, "Do I have to use a specific oil?" No, many different oils can be used; each has particular reported benefits. Olive oil is one of the most readily available oils with the greatest benefits. To learn more about the benefits offered by different oils, read Sandy's incredible Oil Pulling Compilation, based on hundreds of testimonials from Earth Clinic readers!
Oral health has a unique tie to overall health. Even without the general health benefits, oil pulling is a great way to gain beautiful, white teeth without using harsh and expensive whitening treatments. So, will you try oil pulling and find out if it works for you?

I've shifted between coconut oil and olive oil for oil pulling and never noticed a difference till now. I've had a problem with canker sores most of my life and recently started brushing them, after my sister told me brushing made hers go away. Brushing them turned out not to be as painful as I'd feared, and the canker sores would only last about a day after I brushed them. But as soon as the old one was gone, a new one would start.
I was oil pulling with coconut oil at that time. But I started to worry that my pulse was getting faster, something that I read on this site can be caused by coconut oil (even though I only oil pull for about 1-5 minutes, something Ted from Bangkok recommended). So I went back to olive oil. And, after a few days, I realized that I almost never have a canker sore, and if I do, I can barely feel it. So, for now, I'm voting for olive oil over coconut oil.
I am on day 2 of oil pulling with Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) and its doing something-just not sure what. I do have questions though. This morning right after swishing I had a bowel movement. Then a small one again when I came home for lunch. About an hour and a half later I was at work & had to rush to the bathroom where I had a loose (and somewhat explosive) bowel movement that kind of scared me-sorry for the gross details. I suffer from constipation often & don't go this often & haven't eaten anything different so I guess I can contribute this to the oil. The most noticiable difference is my energy-I have none! Today I have been deathly tired-more tired than I've been in some time. I also experienced what seem to be faster heartbeats today. Is this normal? And I'm not using organic EVOO-is this ok? I have sesame seed oil in my cupboard but it's not organic & just says pure-can I use this? And what I'm most confused about is brushing afterwards. Is using your regular toothpaste ok? Hopefully I can get some help with these questions. I'll continue to post updates on my progress. Thanks in advance for the help!

08/13/2013The same tiredness and heart racing happened to me too with the oil pulling. After a couple of days of pulling and I realized what was doing it, I stopped oil pulling completely....... Haven't done it in months. I miss it but the increased heart rate scared me. I used olive, sesame, and coconut oil. All organic and it happened with all of them. Oil pulling should not be taken lightly for some people. MHO

08/13/2013It sounds like you both are experiencing some detox symptoms. This does happen with oil-pulling sometimes. Some of the side effects can be racing heart, nausea, headache, flu-like symptoms, rash etc. Take some time off allowing your body to clear the toxins, drink lots of water and start again when you feel good. It's worth doing since you are clearing so much junk from your system.

08/14/2013Val and TinyDancer: When starting oil-pulling you are using muscles that haven't been used in this way maybe ever. Altho we use our mouth muscles for eating and talking, oil-pulling is a whole new area. The tiredness and heart racing might possibly be the overuse of powerful muscles that haven't been conditioned to such movements. Jaw muscles are very powerful: witness people who can balance a heavy bench on their lower teeth!
For this reason I did not start the full 20 minutes as recommended. I barely made it to 3 minutes at first. Working up slowly, the muscles get stronger and can do more.

08/18/2013I finally decided to stop after day 4. I pulled in the mornings and only did it for 10 minutes or so. The heart racing continued and got worse; I even had an episode where I felt short of breath. The fatigue also got worse-I would come home for work & sleep for hours. I started on a Monday, stopped on a Thursday, and was so tired I basically slept the weekend away. My bottom lip also cracked & bleed-I'm guessing from the oil seeping out while I swished. The symptoms remind me of when I was severly anemic a few years ago & had to have a blood transfusion. In a few weeks I'll try again-probably with a different oil and do it every other day.

09/15/2013I saw news reports about cheaper oils being used to dilute OO and even EVOO. These cheaper oils go rancid and destroy vitamin K which is needed for blood to clot. I used a lot of EVOO and had become anemic due to internal hemorrhaging because I was not aware until I saw the news briefs. We are on our own to research and protect ourselves.

09/16/2013Tinydancer--thought I would mention when I took magnesium citrate my heart "fluttered" so bad I was referred to a specialist, had a stress test and was diagnosed with PVC (premature ventricular contractions). To make a long story short, I found out it was caused by the magnesium citrate I had replaced my magnesium with. The citrate is processed from corn and all of our corn has been genetically modified in one way or another. Since I went back on mag tabs or powder I no longer have any palpitations. Pay attention to any citrate or citric acid in any of your meds or supplements.
I wanted to comment and say that oil pulling with organic extra virgin Olive oil has worked for me in the 2 short days that I have tried it. I am very glad I found this website.
I suffer from standard sinus problems and I've found that I flush my sinuses multiple times hourly. 2 days ago, I averaged maybe 5 sinus flushes per hour (using saline spray). Then I tried oil pulling.
Day one after starting oil pulling, I flushed my sinuses maybe once an hour. Day two, I've barely flushed at all. I can breatheeee!!! I can inhale and exhale and feel deep clean breaths in my nasal cavities.
Regarding oil pulling for teeth... I have one amalgam filling and was hesitant to begin oil pulling. After research on various websites, I found that other people reported oil pulling with fillings and didn't experience issues. The general understanding is that if you do experience issues with your fillings, there was pre-existing damage anyway. I visit the dentist regularly and I know that my fillings are entact, so I went ahead and began my routine.
I have not experienced any metallic tastes or other abnormalities. I will send an update if I do. Despite only starting this routine within the last 2 days, my teeth are shiny. I floss regularly, and I don't experience bleeding, but my gums are slightly swollen. Since I've started pulling, I've noticed that my gums don't feel swollen anymore. They feel very healthy.
Here is my routine:
I oil pull first thing in the morning with 1TBL/3tsp of evoo. (The oil that I use is standard and found in the organic section of my grocery store. ) I typically pull for 10-15 minutes. I can really feel the change of the oil in my mouth once I reach the end of the swishing period.
I spit it out, and immediately rinse with warm water. I brush my teeth with a tooth powder solution consisting of baking soda and sea salt, and then I gargle again with the remaining warm water (with some of the tooth powder mixed in). I then gargle one more time with just regular warm water to ensure I've cleaned my mouth thoroughly.
In the evenings I floss and gargle with warm water and baking soda/sea salt. In the 2 short days that I've oil pulled, I've noticed that my floss is removing more plaque than before (despite not changing eating habits), so I am definitely happy with the results thus far.
If I do experience any negative effects, I will send an update, but overall I am very happy so far with my oil pulling routine.

I am about 75% done with composing music for a new TP album. I will not even hazard a guess as to when it may be ready for release. In any event, Stevan Tickmayer (Science Group) is still on board for keyboards and contribute and sonic creativity for the album. And we still expect Dave Kerman to be back on drums and percussion. Developments will be noted on the Thinking Plague website, http://www.thinkingplague.org.

New songs, old songs, really old songs all revised and updated. New dudes, old dudes, really old dude, our new slogan is "meet the new boss, same as the old boss", I made that up.

Culled from reams of writings only fully examined after his death, and compiled by Stuart Broomer, former editor of Coda Magazine, Secret Carnival Workers brings into full view the insightful voice of an admired artist.

In other news, Dave is resuming work on the Tin Box Papers cd, replacing accordions, drums and such, and has enlisted Elaine diFalco of Caveman Shoestore fame to contribute vocals, compositions and perhaps keyboards!!! Twill be a treat to hear Deborah and Elaine sing together for the first time, yes, twill!
Also, the Toupidek Limonade cd that includes Dave's contributions is available from Wayside. It's called "Le Phoque a bul l'Air."

Richard Leo Johnson:
We have just finished recording "Who Knew Charlie Shoeâ€, the second in a series of recordings that explores the concept of personalized myth by virtue of fictional narrative. The first was "The legend of Vernon McAlisterâ€, which dealt with the victim of a serious accident that lead to the abandonment of his family and prior life, to pursue a relationship with a guitar and the unpredictable world of an itinerate musician. Charlie is an inversion of Vernon's story, in that he was born with a condition (a form of autism) that keeps him from never leaving his familiar surroundings but embraces the common place as inspiration to write songs. Charlie was 9 when he was introduced to the guitar. Vernon McAlister wandered up to a church picnic Charlie and his parents were attending and asked to play for food. That encounter was the catalyst for Charlie to play and write songs on the guitar.
The new cd has the inimitable percussionist/composer, Greg Bendian. Playing out of the box (even for him). Greg has abandoned his traditional drum set and embraced the world of "found objectsâ€â€¦which literally includes things like a pull down attic stair, lard cans, paint buckets, rakes, brooms, and slapping the surface of water. Greg plays the part of "Junk Fishâ€, a character that Greg created to be Charlie's musical companion. Junk Fish is the product of a damaged life as a rock drummer in Memphis during the 70's and 80's. He took it on himself to abandon the fast life of the big city and move to the small town north of Memphis called Marked Tree, Arkansas. Charlie has lived there his entire life and was thrilled to discover Junk Fish at the local scrap metal yard banging on a home made drum set made of an huge assortment of crazy things. This cd is a product of Charlie's guitars and Junk Fish's world of pounding, tapping, scratching and scraping.
The end result is a rootsy psychedelica that embraces acoustic music in an extremely progressive, yet refreshing and accessible way. Or as Junk Fish would say "I just call it hick prog…â€.
The cd is due out in Sept. 2007 with shows to follow with Richard and Greg as Charlie and Junk Fish.
The Mahavishnu Project:
Here is the email we just received from Mahavishnu drummer Narada Michael Walden, after hearing The Mahavishnu Project's "Return To The Emerald Beyond"…

I really admire you for the time it took to put it all together so beautifully. Great work. Mucho love to you for keeping the spirit alive. You guys are knockin' 'em down, one by one. Love to hear ya'll and hope to see you and jam with 2 drum kits. Can you stand my FUNK!

Cuneiform Artist News: Part I
Our friends at Cuneiform has sent us a long list of happenings with artists on their label. This is the first part.
Birdsongs of the Mesozoic:
Notes from the Mesozoic (May 2007)
Birdsongs will give a special private performance on June 1st at Jordan Tishler's Digital Bear Studios for a VIP audience of Boston area music professionals. Contact the band if you are in the Boston area and would like to attend.
Birdsongs guitarist Michael Bierylo will perform with Boston's Snappy Dance Company in "String Beings." The piece is a cutting edge multimedia production that combines choreography by company founder Martha Mason, music by Berlin-based composer Michael Rodach, and interactive video by Jack Bachrach of MIT's fabled Media Lab. Bierylo will be performing alongside Boston Symphony Orchestra first violinist Luci Lin. Performances will run from May 30 to June 10 at the Virginia Wimberly Theater at the Boston Center for the Arts.
A CD release concert and party was held in late April for Erik Lindgren's third solo CD, Classical-a-go-go, with acoustic ensemble The Frankenstein Consort. The disc includes material by Lindgren, Raymond Scott, Erik Satie, and an irreverent hip hop remake of the Edgar Winter Band's 1972 chestnut "Frankenstein." Instrumentation consists of flute, clarinet, bassoon, acoustic piano, and percussion, with guest appearances by noted Boston-area musicians on laptop, drums, percussion, and strings. The disc is available from Wayside Music.
Ken Field's Revolutionary Snake Ensemble was invited to march with the Krewe of Muses for their annual Mardi Gras parade in New Orleans in February. The group traveled to New Orleans on the Amtrak Crescent train, playing along the way for fellow passengers, with a stop in Washington, DC for a performance at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. The Snake Ensemble will perform at Boston's famed Regattabar on Wednesday May 30th.
Field's original score for the Bridgman/Packer Dance piece Under the Skin has been released on Innova Recordings as part of their select "Short Run" series. The dance, with live music by Field, was presented in Budapest, Hungary in April at an historic theatre where Beethoven once performed, and will travel to Jacob's Pillow and the Bates Dance Festival in August. Field will be a resident fellow at the MacDowell Colony in New Hampshire in November 2007.
David Borden/Mother Mallard:
David continues as a beta tester for SAMPLIT, a software program that automatically samples any sound from a hardware or software synth/sampler. The software synths and samplers are the new element, and not all formats are compatible. But once a sound is chosen, the user can stipulate how many velocities and the range. Then after the sampling is done, the user can then fine tune the envelope. After everything sounds the way one wants, the program allows you to format it for a number of software samplers including Kontakt and REASON (NNXT) and several others.
I'm doing this testing in part because Mother Mallard is changing its performance format. Instead of performing on an array of synthesizers for each player, everyone will play on keyboard MIDI controllers attached to laptops via the USB connection. The software used for live performance is REASON 3 utilizing sampled sounds from dozens of hardware and software synths as well as sounds native to REASON. In addition, we will also be using Ableton Live. We have only tried this once at Roulette in New York with good results. The only hardware synth on stage will be the Moog Voyager (Electric Blue version).
In addition, Mother Mallard is expanding. For the past several years we have existed mainly as three keyboardists (Blaise Bryski, and David Yearsley and me). Blaise and David Y. are world class performers. This fall, Conrad Alexander, a percussionist will join us with his MalletKat MIDI controller and laptop. Conrad is a versatile musician with experience in many musical settings. And finally, I am trying out a visual element employing live video projection with both prepared images and live images. The husband and wife team of Franck and Noni Korf Vidal are the video artists. Our first concert with the expanded ensemble will be at Barnes Hall on the Cornell campus in Ithaca New York on Friday evening September 28, 2007.
Two or three new pieces will be premiered including anagram portraits of Ruth St. Denis and Ted Shawn who formed the Denishawn Dancers, probably the very first Modern Dance Company. These pieces will include vintage footage of these two pioneers of modern dance.

Musique Machine Reviews
From Musique Machine:
Diskrepant – Into Sleep
Into Sleep's title is very apt title as you're lowered into a subtle electronic/noise sound world that seems to exists between realities of dreamscapes and real life. Sound elements and half heard melodies dance by but nothing is ever 100 per clear- giving the whole album a hazy slightly blurred feeling, almost making you feel like you want pinch your self to see if your asleep or awake.
Akercocke – Antichrist
With Antichrist Akercocke have found the perfect balance between brutality,atmosphere and progressive/experimental elements to make an album that's enjoyable and surprising from start to finish.
People Like Us & Ergo Phizmiz – Perpetuum Mobile
Perpetuum Mobile is full to its quirky, bizarre and sometimes tiring brim with kids show like looped brass tunes, strummed Hawaiian guitar waltz's, stuck cracking piano loops and all manner of snatched easy listing audio chesse. With all manner rhythmic elements, plundetronics and surreal advert or stage show singing over the top.
Zonder – Maybe you can live on the moon in the next century
The American trio Zonder (Dutch for 'without') presents a version of heavy rock that needs a few spins to grab you. The music is dense with all kinds of influences, performed with a raw energy.
I previously reviewed an EP by this Korean/Japanese project by the same name, but this is a full album called UFO. Things haven't changed much since then, but that doesn't mean this is worth a listen.
Far Corner – Endangered
Rock is serious business. Well, not really, but by getting it out the sweaty clubs or screaming stadiums this so-called 'chamber rock' has acquired the more serious air of classical and contemporary composed music. Yet, while listening to Endangered you'll find a serious amount of fun as well.

NFL labor issues could affect Tide's 2011 season
The labor situation in the NFL might impact a few Alabama football players who could declare early for the draft
Published: Friday, December 17, 2010 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, December 16, 2010 at 11:26 p.m.
TUSCALOOSA | The University of Alabama underclassmen who have an opportunity to declare early eligibility for the NFL Draft have a bit more than their draft position to concern themselves with.
Capital One Bowl
No. 15 Alabama
vs. No. 7 Michigan State
When: Saturday, Jan. 1, noon
Where: Orlando
Records: Alabama 9-3, Michigan State 11-1
Radio: 95.3 FM, 790 AM
Labor strife between NFL owners and the NFL Players Union is also weighing on the decisions of the likes of Julio Jones, Mark Ingram and Marcell Dareus.
UA coach Nick Saban acknowledged that labor unrest isn't something to be ignored when it comes to underclassmen making a life-altering decision.
"I think this year is different. With the labor situation and the strike coming up, it really could affect how much a guy can develop this year if there is no minicamp, there is no training camp," Saban said. "It would be much more difficult for guys to learn a system and make an impact. But at the end of the day it really comes down to what is in a player's heart, for what he wants to do. There is tremendous value in guys staying in school and getting an education.
"Typically, if guys are first-round picks, I tell them I support them going out for the draft. But with the unknowns this year, I've kind of reduced that to guys that are a top 15 pick or that they don't have a chance to move up in the future."
Saban declined to comment on which of his juniors might fall into that category, but Jones, Ingram and Dareus have all been projected as strong first-round possibilities by various draft services.
Ingram, Dareus and linebacker Dont'a Hightower were each asked about the possibility of turning pro early Thursday, and each deflected the question, saying they are focused on bowl preparations.
"We try not to talk too much about trying to leave early," said Hightower. "There are a couple of guys in that position right now, but right now I really feel like we're all just focused on the bowl game."
Last year, UA cornerback Kareem Jackson and linebacker Rolando McClain were the Crimson Tide's early draft entries, and both were chosen in the first round. Saban noted that a strong performance in the Capital One Bowl can help any player's hopes for a professional career.
"I think those decisions are probably ongoing with most of the players. And I do think it benefits all the players to play well in this game," Saban said. "There is no player on our team that won't benefit himself and his future by playing well in this game."
Safety situation
Alabama's defense will deal with Michigan State without one of its top performers in safety Mark Barron, who tore a pectoral muscle in the Iron Bowl. In his absence, Will Lowery and Nick Perry are candidates for increased playing time.
"Will Lowery and Nick Perry are the two guys that are the backups at that position. I'm not sure there's any other solution to moving guys around where they haven't had reps at that position, taking a corner and playing him at safety and all that kind of stuff," Saban said. "I don't see where that is going to benefit us, especially with the depth issues we have with B.J. Scott being out, we're sort of thin all the way around in the back end."
Barron led UA in tackles this season with 75. Lowery gained valuable experience in Alabama's defensive packages that include extra defensive backs, finishing the regular season with 30 stops and two interceptions. Perry, a true freshman, appeared in three games this season.
Alabama's C.J. Mosley, Dee Milliner and D.J. Fluker have been named Freshman All-Americans by various media outlets, including Rivals.com and Collegefootballnews.com. Mosley ranked third on the team with 66 tackles from a linebacker position, while Milliner made 52 stops in 10 starts at cornerback. Fluker made eight starts at right tackle, missing some late-season action with a groin injury. ... Reserve linebacker Jonathan Atchison is out for the bowl game while recovering from a biceps injury sustained in the weight room. ... UA center William Vlachos missed Thursday's practice with an illness, but will likely return in a day or two. ... Saban said he does not expect to experiment much with younger players at different positions during bowl preparations, something he has done some of in the past. Saban did note that freshman Ed Stinson, who moved from linebacker to defensive end near the end of the regular season, would continue to work at end.

text: Posted November 28, 2011 Perhaps, but then again Steve Smith is probably still the best PR on the team, but he hasn't done it in years. Starters are almost never return specialists. No perhaps, the numbers done lie. Also there is a deference in starting your Pro bowl WR at PR and starting your #2/nickle CB at PR. Also the question has to be asked, What else can AE do? We already know Capt. can play at CB but AE is yet to even get a snap at WR from two head coaches. That says something right there. I guess next year will be his break out season though just like Jarrett broke out last year... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So I didn't do my tracks or finger drop practice every day this week - we had family visiting - and I was wondering if I should just move on and come back to it later so as to make sure I get through the whole program, or stick with this week for a couple more days to make up for lost practice?Ā Any advice?
Staying on a week or moving on?

Expecing Baby #2 October 2015!
Love me when I deserve it the least because that's when I need it the most
I'd say go with your guts. If you have the time and feel like you could use the extra practise, I'd do the tracks for another 2 or 3 days. I never stuck to the schedule too precisely regarding duration. I listened in the right order, which is important I think, but always listened as long as felt I needed to. With some tracks this was rather long (2 weeks), others I only listened to for 4 or 5 days.
You need to do each script at least 3-4 times in order for your subconscious mind to fully absorb the lesson and accept the suggestions.┬Ā If you have not listened at least 3 times, then it is better to stay with the current lesson until you have.┬Ā But keep in mind that it is fine to listen to more than one script a day.┬Ā So if you want to spend a day or two falling asleep to a playlist with both of the scripts for that week, you can catch up pretty quickly.┬Ā And since the Deepening script is listened to throughout weeks 2-5, you can move on to the next week even if you haven't heard that one 3-4 times the previous week since you'll be hearing it again soon.
At this point in the program, once you have heard a script 3-4 times, it is generally good to move on even if you don't feel like you've totally mastered the skill it teaches.┬Ā You'll be continuing to practice the skills daily through your finger-drops, and future scripts will reinforce the lessons learned in earlier weeks as well as moving on to teaching new skills.
I hope that helps!
I have a quick question! You mentioned falling asleep listening to scripts and I was wondering, should we be doing this anyway? I haven't started min yet, but am always worried about when I am going to fit in the practice time and listening to the scripts. I usually have time at night, but then want to go to bed. SO should I put them on and go to bed?

Absolutely!┬Ā Night was the only time I had time to do my scripts, and I made sure I put one on as I fell asleep every single night.┬Ā But I also was sure to listen to each new script out loud while doing something to keep me awake (folding clothes worked best for me).┬Ā Once I had heard what a script was teaching me, I had no reason to feel guilty about sleeping through it, and I┬Ājust relaxed and enjoyed the rest it provided.┬Ā I found it easy to fit in the practice by doing┬Āa couple┬Āfinger-drops before starting the scripts (sometimes those would put me to sleep, but I would invariably wake up at some point during the night and just hit "play" then), and then I'd do a couple more finger-drops if I woke up to use the bathroom and when I woke up in the morning.┬Ā During the day I would play the affirmations while doing other things (it's the only one you can do in the car), so it didn't take any time out of my day.┬Ā
So by the time I got up in the morning, I would have done several finger-drops and listened to a script, and could give myself a pat on the back for doing so well with my preparation.

I've added the two different types of code to my .htaccess file to send www traffic to the non-www domain.
Each version works fine for the index but all other pages get redirected to the index then as well.
For example, if I type http://www.example.com it automatically goes to http://example.com, which is what I want. But if I type http://www.example.com/catagory/blog_post it gets redirected to http://example.com/index.php.
All the codes I have found on-line to fix the www non-www canonical issue does this.
What code do I use to redirect all traffic to the corresponding non-www URL, not just the index.
