Everyone gets depressed occasionally, but gloom should not be persistent in your life. Go to your doctor for a checkup. You might need medication or therapy.
I find myself thinking one sad thought after another and it makes me depressed. Is there anything I can do to stop this?
The cause of your depression could be a physical illness, life events, personality problems, side effects from drugs or combinations of these elements. Your doctor's choice of treatment — or no treatment — will be based upon symptom frequency and test results.
In many cases, depression can be caused by negative thinking, itself. Our feelings follow what we are thinking, and dwelling upon negative thoughts can send us spiraling down into depression. This concept is the guiding principle behind Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) developed in the 1960s by Dr. Aaron T. Beck at the University of Pennsylvania.
To combat negative thinking, it is important to understand it. The following are some cognitive distortions — ways that our mind convinces us of untruths. These distortions are usually used to reinforce negative thinking or emotions. By repeatedly refuting distortions, negative thinking will diminish.
Credit goes to David D. Burns, author of "Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy" (HarperCollins, 1999), for coining common names for these distortions.
- Filtering: You dwell completely upon a dust speck you notice on a Van Gogh painting.
- Polarized thinking: If you're not perfect, you're a failure. People are either wonderful or awful.
- Overgeneralization: You fell off the horse on your first try, therefore you will fall every time you get on a saddle.
- Jumping to Conclusions: Your friend hasn't called for a while, therefore she hates you.
- Catastrophizing: Disaster is inevitable. You're obsessed with "What if? What if? What if?"
- Personalization: Everything that happens is about you. Your best friend started playing tennis because he knows you don't like the game.
- Control Fallacies: You feel like a helpless victim of external forces. Or, you feel personally responsible for everyone's happiness.
- Fallacy of Fairness: You are the only one who knows what is fair, and you're sure that you are being treated unfairly.
- Blaming: You blame others for your pain. Or, you blame yourself for everything.
- Shoulds: There are rules that must be obeyed by everyone. If you violate the rules, you feel guilty. If others break the rules, you feel angry.
- Emotional Reasoning: My emotions define the truth. I feel ugly, therefore I am ugly.
- Fallacy of Change: You think you can change people to make yourself happy.
- Global Labeling: An extreme form of generalizing with exaggerated and emotionally loaded labels for yourself and others. You fail a quiz and call yourself a "lifetime loser."
- Always Being Right: Being wrong is not an option. You will do whatever it takes to win an argument.
- Heaven's Reward Fallacy: If you work hard and sacrifice, you will always be rewarded. If that reward doesn't come when you want it, you become angry and bitter.

Home visiting classes happen one of two ways:
1.Department of Social Services, Child Protective Services referral
a. Parents who have an open CPS case are referred to Cornell Cooperative Extension of Jefferson County for individualized parenting education in the home.
b. Education can be parenting education or life skills education and is determined by the CPS case worker at the time of referral.
c. Parenting education covers topics such as parenting styles, discipline, rules/consequences, routines, stress management, child development, communication, and any other topic as needed per individual family.
d. Life skills education covers topics such as budgeting, nutrition, home safety, home sanitation, hygiene, and any other topic as needed per individual family.
e. Cornell Cooperative Extension of Jefferson County educators work with families for a minimum of six visits, but can meet with the families beyond six visits until the case worker and the educator no longer feel education is necessary for the family.
2.Maternal and Early Childhood Foundation (MECF)
a. Families who have a child under the age of five can call Cornell Cooperative Extension of Jefferson County and request parenting education in the home, without a referral from CPS.
b. MECF home visits have no limited number of visits and there are no maximum number of visits.
c. MECF home visits cover topics such as budgeting, parenting education, home safety/sanitation, nutrition, and any other topics as needed per individual family.

Celebrating its 10th anniversary, Powder River continues the adventures of the citizens of Clearmont, Wyoming, in the year 1884. In "Henry M. Teller Comes to Town", the people of Clearmont all pitch in to help Millie, who has fallen ill on the day a member of the administration arrives from Washington, DC, plan a dinner for his entire entourage. Passing through the town of Iron Meadow, Britt encounters the surprise of his life in the episode "The Reflection in the Mirror Is Not Mine".

Powder River is the best Western story ever
- scott
The best just keeps getting better
Yes, the story is so captivating and well done that I could listen to it a couple of times at least.
To be very honest this is a very unique story. It has little some little similarities to some of the old western stories, but not enough for me to say that it compares to something.
I have listened to all of the Powder River Series and several other stories from Jerry Robbins and I have to say that this one is one of the best!!! in listening to them all it has be awesome to listen to the evolution of the great writer and talent of Jerry Robbins and his cast of great stars!!!!!
There is never anything regular about the Wild West, join us for the Wild West Adventures along the mighty POWDER RIVER!!!!!
This is great for listeners that are looking for family friendly story.

Carignan: With Old Age, Nobility?
Martine Pages and her brother Christophe Moliner run Domaine de la Bouysse, a 124-acre property in Saint Andre de Roquelongue, in the heart of the Corbières region. About one-fifth of their land is in the Boutenac commune, where the soil combines clay, limestone, and quartz pebbles.
The 2007 Corbières Boutenac Cuvée Mazérac is made with 60% very old Carignan vines from Boutenac (80 to 110 years old) 20% Grenache, and 10% Mourvedre. All the grapes are hand-harvested. The Carignan undergoes carbonic maceration, for greatest freshness of fruit and color extraction. The Grenache and Mourvedre are destemmed and conventionally vinified in temperature-controlled stainless. Once blended, the wine is aged 12 months in French oak barrels.
On the nose, cooked strawberry and plum, with hints of licorice, cocoa, and roasted herbs. In the mouth, bright fruit and that deluxe, pinot noir-like mouthfeel that imparts richness without weight. With time in the glass, the wine reveals more dark fruit, and the texture softens while retaining a sense of freshness. Experiences like this are beginning to make me think that Carignan, so long dismissed as high-yielding easy-growing material for the production of vin ordinaire, is in fact—given the necessary four decades or so to find itself—capable of nobility. This was $20 at the Asheville Wine Market, and worth every penny.
The Chef, in an acquiescent mood, made us a dinner to go with the wine, and the ingredients were mostly local: Hangar steak from Hickory Nut Gap (rare, yeah!), baba ganoush made with local eggplant and garlic, local corn, and local green and red tomatoes. And a few foreign interlopers: Fancy Italian olive oil (Tiburtini, from La Ferrata Tivoli, first cold pressing, organically grown, unfiltered, from Villa Adriana in Lazio, blah-blah-blah.) And frozen "oven fries" from Alexia, which were done on the grill—not exactly a failure, but not in the same league with the rest of dinner. (The Chef wishes to point out that the frozen taters were my idea, not hers, and that she would have served local fingerlings, cut and brushed with olive oil, and done on the grill, and that they would have taken just as long and tasted better. So there.)

We also had a corbieres boutenac but 2008 from a prestigious producer while in France and I thought the wine was killed with oak. Don't know if they carbonic macerate or not but it was a bit disappointment. Alas, they had received a very good review in Le Revue du Vin de France.

Preston Scott Pahl was a 2003 graduate of Bowling Green High School. He was a three year letterman on the Bobcat hockey team where he served as co-captain his senior year. He was selected as Best Defenseman his junior and senior year and received league academic honors as well. Preston was a member of the football team his freshman and sophomore years and was also active in 4H, FFA, and played summer baseball. Preston worked for his father in the family business, Pahl Builders, and was a volunteer hockey coach while he attended Hocking College.
Preston had a kind smile and quiet confidence. He led by example and was well-respected by his teammates, friends, and teachers. He was polite, respectful, considerate, and just a pleasure to be around. Preston loved the outdoors. He particularly enjoyed hunting, fishing, wakeboarding, boating, and snowmobiling. This love along with the love to help people in need drew him to attend Hocking College where he was pursuing an Associate In Applied Science Degree in Natural Resources Law Enforcement. After serving an internship the summer of 2006 with the Watercraft Division of the Department of Natural Resources he was convinced he had made the right career choice.
Preston became engaged Labor Day weekend of 2006 and the wedding was set for June 2007. He and his fiancé, Suzy Dally, were very much in love and had a very strong faith. They were very involved with their church and had a very strong commitment to their families. Preston was returning to Hocking College on the evening of October 2, 2006 when he was involved in an automobile accident. At the age of 21 years, he was taken from his family and friends.
In addition to a scholarship to aid a BGHS Hockey player, Preston's friends and family have set up a scholarship to help a deserving BGYHA player. The scholarship will cover one years fees up to $295.
The BGYHA Board of Trustees would like to thank the family and friends of Preston for their kind gift to our program.

Kimball Oil Field, 06/1972 by The U.S. National Archives, on Flickr
Kimball Oil Field, 06/1972 by The U.S. National Archives, on Flickr
GDP has returned to 2007 numbers, but we still have 10% unemployment and closer to 20% underemployment. These numbers are the simplest refutation of the Keynesian thinking that we have a demand problem which 'stimulus' will somehow prime or fix. The problem is not aggregate demand; GDP has returned to pre-recession levels. It is investment and adaptation to a new economy.
Freezing federal spending like the Republicans want to do does not spur investment and adaptation. In fact in the short run, it will make the situation worse by forcing some public employees to join the ranks of the unemployed. Don't get me wrong. That must happen. But it won't create an environment that induces hiring by the private sector. Following are the policies needed to get to 500,000 new jobs a month in less than a year.
EnergyThe US may not materially change the flow of oil in the world, but it can add up to a million high paying jobs in the energy sector very quickly. Clear the way for fossil fuel exploration and development. Then transfer that authority back to the individual states so the federal government and its special interests can no longer interfere.
The reality is that 96% of our energy comes from fossil fuels, and barring a transcendent invention, that isn't going to change in 10 or even 20 years. The clean little secret is that all emergent advances in energy have been in more economically and safely extracting and converting fossil fuels to energy sources. The rippling effect through the economy of re-opening the energy sector, including refining, would be almost immediately tremendous.
But we're not finished. Nuclear energy is currently uneconomical in the USA as constituted by regulation. There is something fishy in the Washington kitchen given that most of the world find it an economic reality. We need to find out what the problem is and fix it before our existing reactors wear out and force us to purchase even more oil. Technology is advancing in nuclear energy. America is not participating.
Lastly on the energy front, all subsidies for ethanol must end. It takes at least 5 barrels of oil to produce 6 barrels of ethanol. It is a catalyst, not an energy source. It does not reduce carbon consumption. It drives up the cost of foodstuffs. It consumes subsidy dollars to big business. End it.
RegulationNext, the US must immediately roll back the draconian laws which are chasing jobs out of the country. Contrary to popular opinion, we can compete with any country on earth if we don't have both legs shackled to the floor. Those regulations cover a broad array of federal departments.
First, we've been living with the EPA and the Super Fund so long that we forget how fundamentally it changed the manufacturing and business landscape in the country. Those laws made it impossible to sell millions of acres of land and assets. It also squelched further investment on those properties. We all want to reduce pollution, but like the draconian laws that delayed clean-up in the Gulf and prevented foreign skimmers from helping us, there is common sense and then there is pure, unadulterated extremism bordering on insanity.
ZoningAlong with EPA roll-backs, much of the zoning in our cities needs to be cleared away. If the global warming crowd was really serious about reducing carbon, it would be viewing the zoning laws for what they are; an obstruction to logistics networks, congenial living and working arrangements, community development and safety. But zoning not only forces a car ride to work, a loaf of bread or a beer. It obstructs inner city renewal, commerce, investment and trade. It has to be rolled back. Zoning and regulation are the number one cause of inner city stagnation and the horridly crumbling infrastructure, crime and unemployment that results.
Employer based costsThe last cog in chasing jobs out of the country are the ever increasing behind-the-wage costs imposed on employers by the federal government in its never ending quest to feed its bottomless appetite for revenue. Anyone lucky enough to pay 12% into a private insurance program for their working lives would retire rich, able to gift their descendants a sizable nest egg. The amounts would be so extra-ordinary that it would catapult the working poor into a new tax bracket. The present state of social security is beyond criminal. It must be fixed and made to conform to the precepts of private enterprise so that it will build security and wealth for its contributors. It is currently an illegal Ponzi scheme.
This same thinking goes for employer based health care. Employers must get out of the health care business. The consumer must be put back in charge, and there are a number of ways to accomplish this transition that are revenue neutral for the employee.
Markets can drive down the cost of health care by almost half while increasing quality and innovation. That is what the American economy does best. That is what made the USA the powerhouse of the world, raising all boats across the world. That is what technology and free markets do. But it must be allowed to work; no regulation can substitute for markets. And any subsidy must be individual based rather than controlling institutions and regulation.
Therefore repeal of Obamacare must be immediate. The market on health care should be aggressively opened, including more competition, public prices and information by producers, and higher deductible insurance plans that get rid of millions of third party transactions costing hundreds of billions of dollars. The almost immediate decrease in the cost of health care will act as a rippling boon to the economy in a way that government stimulus never could.
Constant change and adaptationReaders will notice all of these suggestions have more to do with regulation than direct decreases in spending. Yes, we strongly urge the federal government to decentralize in observance of the new technological world we are living in, nurturing discernment, empowerment and lower overhead.
Productivity, emergence and solutions are local because change is local. We do NOT live in a stagnant Marxian world. The modern corporation is threatened by the entrepreneurial activity enabled by technology and is in the midst of a gargantuan restructuring for survival. So should the federal government.
Yes, the Department of Education must go. Yes, the Department of Energy must go. And on and on. But we suggest the population is so institutionalized that such maneuvers will be viewed with alarm by the populace including the Tea Parties. After the above regulations are cleared away, and the economy gets on its feet along with some confidence, more long lasting structural changes can be instituted.
The only other first move should be repealing the 17th Amendment. Neither political party can be trusted to safe guard the Constitution and the encroaching, strangling power of the federal bureaucracy. Voters need the states on their side to prevent such bureaucracy in future Congresses.
Rome wasn't built in a day. Neither will dismantling the stranglehold the federal government has on the economy. An explosion of standards of living can occur in this country that will enrich the world. But first we need to get the government boot off our necks.

The meeting was once again held in Kojimachi Kumin-kan, in a location with the atmosphere of prestige and authenticity. We will keep holding meetings here in the October meetings.
Just like the last meeting, there were four prepared speeches. The first speech was by Mr. C-n, who spoke about the nature of human habits and how to pick up good habits instead of undesiable ones. Since our Club is the earliest weekend Club in Japan, I believe the speech was helpful both for the members and guests to pick up the habit of getting up early.
The third and fourth speeches were in Japanese. Both were about technologies and they used Powerpoint slides effectively. TM I-fu spoke about the latest information of smartphone and how the market has been growing up in Japan recently. TM I-yoshi spoke about some likely mistakes about the kanji conversion function in Japanese typing system and how misconverted kanji can mislead the readers of online documents, achieving the Best Speaker award. All the four speakers were evaluated by experienced evaluators and TM I-da, who served as the Toastmaster of the Morning as well, received the Best Evaluators award.
The table topics (impromtpu speech session) focused on topics about the autumn season. They were guest-friendly topics and two second-time guests answered the questions as well as members. TM S-nuki received the
Best Table Topics award.
Our next meeting will be held on October 9, which will be emceed in Japanese. Guests are welcome. If you are interested in developing communication and leadership skills in English and Japanese, would like to control nervousness when speaking in public or just have fun making new friends, please do not hesitate to contact us!

Essiac Plus Elixir
When Rene Caisse was treating patients, she would make her own tea and have it to her customers usually within 48 hours of making it. However, when you order most Essiac tea by mail, it may be several months old. We have solved this problem by making it in small batches from vital pieces of herb and preserving it with tincture of Panax quinquefolius, American Ginseng (which is helpful restoring most body systems).
Our Essiac Plus Elixir comes in 8 or 16 oz bottles.
Ingredients: Water, Raw Local Honey*, Corn Alcohol, Ginseng*, Burdock*, Sheep Sorrel*, Slippery Elm*, Turkey Rhubarb* (*organic)
Specific Contraindications & Warnings:
If you are an advanced cancer patient who has had a lot of chemotherapy, radiation or surgery or you have a potentially fast-growing cancer, do not use this protocol.
By itself, the Essiac tea cancer treatment is rated only as being effective on newly diagnosed cancer patients who do not have fast-growing cancer and their cancer has not spread significantly. The reason it is not a Stage IV cancer treatment is because of the way some of the Essiac products have been dehydrated, processed and stored. Currently, Essiac is not considered strong enough to be at the core of a Stage IV treatment. This does not mean, however, that it would not be an effective addition to a Stage IV treatment. This treatment would be higher rated if people grew their own herbs or knew someone who did grow their own herbs.
Brain cancer patients could probably take Essiac if some temporary swelling would not put them at risk.
Warnings: Avoid using plastic and aluminum while preparing formula or storing formula. If a green mold appears, discard contents. Sunlight destroys aspects of formula. Do not Freeze.
General Contraindications & Warnings:
Like all herbal medicine, our products work best when combined with a lifestyle that includes clean water, whole foods, gentle exercise, and plenty of self-love.
You could be allergic to a plant, a plant family, honey, or another ingredient in a formula just like you could be allergic to a food. Use standard commonsense precautions when trying new things. If any adverse reactions happen that coincide with the taking of this product, discontinue use and consult your herbalist, naturopath, or doctor.
Standard required disclaimer for the USA:
The statements made here have not been approved by the FDA. These statements are not intended to diagnose, prevent, treat, or cure any disease or replace advice from a health practitioner.
This notice is required by the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act for herbalists and people like me but not big pharma, who is in bed with the FDA. After umpteen million product recalls, birth defects and deaths, big pharma still doesn't have to label like this- even though the ingredients in this product has been used safely for much longer than any pharmaceutical preparation has. Just sayin'.
Standard required disclaimer for Canada:
If symptoms persist or worsen, consult a health practitioner.

Yesterday's public war of words between Memphis Zoo leaders and Memphis Mayor A C Wharton overshadowed one important point - maybe even the main point - in the Greensward parking drama: no zoo parking will be allowed on the Overton Park lawn this weekend.
The shuttle's first pick up Saturday will be at 10 a.m. at the corner of Monroe and Florence. It will run straight to the zoo entrance first and then make stops at Brooks Museum of Art, and then the Overton Park golf clubhouse before returning to the garage. Shuttles will run every 10-15 minutes and end around 5:15 p.m. Parking in the Overton Square garage is free until 6 p.m.
The shuttle will run Saturdays and Sundays until June 22. In that time, no parking will be allowed on the Overton Park Greensward, the large grassy field that surrounds the park's Rainbow Lake and new playground.
The conservancy is now looking for volunteers to staff the shuttles as greeters or to assist park visitors at stops. Learn more here.
Find more information about the new, free shuttle here.
All of this is according to the Overton Park Conservancy that said the program was a collaboration with the city as an alternative to overflow parking on the Greensward. But more needs to be done, according to the conservancy.
"The conservancy plans to continue to work with the zoo and the city on long-term solutions," according to a conservancy statement. "In the meantime, the shuttle is intended to keep the park accessible to its visitors while reducing congestion on the park roads. It's also an opportunity to highlight the renaissance of Midtown as a whole, where improvements to Overton Square coincide with the conservancy's investment in Overton Park's amenities and maintenance."

How To Fight Frizzy Hair
Save to My Favourites
While we welcome this warm weather when it comes to summer dressing and rosé fuelled evenings, the stuffy, humid conditions of late have been playing havoc with our tresses.
If you're prone to frizzy hair, whether at home or on holiday, read on for our top ten tips on giving frizz the heave ho. And for when all else fails, browse our edit of the best quick-fix solutions to pop into your handbag for on-the-go touch-ups.
1. Choose the right shampoo
Always go for a sulphate-free shampoo and conditioner as these strip the hair, which in turn, adds to the frizz. A high glycerine content however is good, as this penetrates the hair shaft and moisturises from the inside out.
2. Conditioner is key
Those with frizzy hair should never skip on the conditioner. If you suffer really badly from a case of frizz or if your hair is very dry, consider conditioning twice a week, leaving out the shampoo stage. It will still freshen up your locks but also pack back in any moisture lost from environmental or styling damage.
3. Use a mask once a week
An intense mask will help to calm down any unwanted frizz. Avoid the roots but apply all over the hair and wait for up to one hour to really rehydrate.
4. Avoid over blow-drying or towel-drying
Those with natural kinks often tend to reach for the hairdryer after each wash, but over blow-drying could make your hair frizzier. Air-drying your hair will allow it to soak up the moisture and retain it. You can finish it off with a cold blast of hair from the dryer to seal the cuticle. And never towel-dry – it will stop the cuticle from lying flat and only make the frizz worse.
5. Protect
If you are going to blow-dry your hair it is important to protect it. Use a heat-protecting spray and brush through part-dried hair before you start.
6. Invest in a good hair oil
Frizzy hair can take in much more moisture than those blessed with silky tresses. Apply a good hair oil or premium serum before drying and after if needed to tame unwanted frizz and add a smooth shine.
7. Don't over brush
Hold your hair at the root and start brushing from the bottom, working your way up. Frizzy hair tends to get more tangled so this will ease any battles with the hairbrush and prevent breakage. Try brushing a dry oil through the hair to help smooth.
8. Wrap hair into a bun to smooth
If you have time, wrap your hair into a tight bun or around the head and securing with grips, whilst it dries. This is an oldie but such a goodie tip for smoothing frizzy and straightening curly hair without heat.
9. Tong frizzy sections
It may sound counterproductive, but picking out the worst culprits of the frizzy areas and tonging them will leave you with natural, beachy-waves. Just be sure to finish with a salt spray and a slick of light serum to put flyaways at bay.
10. Always have a backup plan
And it all else fails, always have a anti-humidity or frizz-free wonder product in your handbag.

This is what the back of my house looked like in--well, judging by the snow on the ground in this photo it could be anywhere from October to May--so I'll just say this is what the back of my house looked like earlier this year, and what it still looks like (minus the snow) today. I'd like to call your attention to the wall behind that ladder. See that patched-in place? With all the uneven clapboards? That's where the back door used to be, long before I bought the house, and I hate the way they patched it all sloppy and uneven. I think I know why they--whoever "they" are--did it that way: because they knew that their sloppy patch was going to be covered up almost immediately by cedar shingles, which used to cover the whole house. (Remember how ugly that looked??) That's also why they didn't make the patch by the existing door look nicer, too. It used to be a window, which was slightly wider than the door, and they just stuck a scrap piece of lumber on the side there.
Last fall I decided that I'd buy new clapboards and run them the length of that wall, from the trim there on the left clear over to the door, all nice and even. Then I went to the lumberyard and priced new clapboards and decided that $250 was too much to pay for cedar clapboards just to get rid of a patch in the wall, especially when they're so thin I could cut 'em with a Dremel tool. I complained about this one evening last fall while drinking a beer with the guy down the street, and Chris flung open his garage door to show me a giant stack of clapboards salvaged from an 1870s house. "I'll sell ya what I don't use to fix my own house," he said. We shook hands on the deal.
And, in the way of things around here, almost a year went by before we talked about those clapboards again.
A lot's happened since then, some of it not too good, and without getting into the details I'll just say that Chris has decided reluctantly to pull up stakes and leave our little town. That meant I needed to go get those clapboards right away, so I drove The Toaster down the alley last Friday and spent what will probably be my last afternoon at that house with Chris. (In the basement, no less, which is where he was storing the clapboards.) That house is the house that Mare and I lived in once upon a time. We split up, Mare ran out of money, the house sold before I had the money to buy it myself, and it's been sold twice since I bought the Kelly House. Now it's for sale again.
Loading the clapboards into my car, I asked Chris where they came from. "A house out east of town on 24," he said, "before they tore it down." Oddly, Mare lived in that house, too, until he lost it to foreclosure. Then someone with good intentions but bad advice gutted the house before they ran out of money to restore it, so it sat vacant and in disrepair for several years until the farmer who owned the surrounding land had the house torn down. The siding was salvaged by the previous owner of Chris's house and stored in the garage for several years.
Those clapboards have made an unlikely journey from the house east of town which no longer stands, to the house down the street where some of them replaced broken clapboards there, and now to my own house. I think it would be fitting, given their history, if Mare helped me put them on my house, but I suspect he'll see that a little less poetically than I do.

"The Blog Is" takes a look at "No Time To Waste" by the Broken Arrow Blues Band.
"No Time To Waste" by the Broken Arrow Blues Band.
First of all there is a certain thing, a "first of all." They're about to embark on a tour of the Southern States. I call it red state culture shock, but what do they call it? My guess is, going back where the blues came from, and make your mark on it, Motor City-style. That's what they have essentially already done with the album "No Time to Waste."
Perhaps Chris Leigh, the guitarist, is the best in electric blues today. I've seen this cat grow. His licks are quite overwhelming. The best that rock has to throw at the Blues. There are 10 Tunes. Let's take a look at them in reverse order, starting with "No Time to Waste." Okay, the river is rising. But what does that mean? The way it always does in American Music. The compelling refrain and the guitar compete with real zeal in the first song. Now to the very last tune we have is the title cut, "No Time to Waste."
No veteran performers have any time to waste when they are rising to the top. What do you think? The organ has something to say ab0ut this. So does the electric piano. Who is that vocalist? I feel like it is the thirties or forties again, right now. Real sophistication here. And in the tasty horn, Mississippi Saxophone, I should better say. One thing it doesn't sound like is in a hurray.
Real zeal never felt so easy. No time, all the time in the world. Now track nine is just too real, to not feel no blues. It is called "Mugshot." I have a feeling something has been held back from the girl that she could cause some trouble over. Some real blues. Your best not to leave a woman like this out in the dark. But it ends unresolved like the blues is just gonna be, most of the time.
Forget about chronology. From the beginning to the very end this CD is red hot and blue to the bone. Track two rocks the blues. "She Don't Know," which could mean just about anything. It is the blues. Hard driving. Interesting sparse effects that make a great deal of difference. This is not the music of overindulgence, anything but that. I got that at the Superbowl. Strong guitar playing glues the entire thing together.
"Holler Stomp Dance," is track four. It is slide guitar heaven, y'all. I hear some blues greats in this one. West coast blues. Very tidy, moves right along. A powerful and tough bridge. But the real action here is slide. Think Roy Rogers and Calvin Cooke and Robert Randolph.
It is so powerful you gonna wind up on the killing floor. The organ rips. Well done my Motor City cohorts that I scarcely know, 'cept through the music. It started with some pretty powerful slide, then she turned into a rabbit chase. Very tidy. Riff success here, major success. Don't do it, chainsaw man. Nasty slide. Powerful enough to go to hell and back. Which is the best on the album. You guessed it, track four, "Holler Stomp Dance." But did you know that the drummer is an original American, or I'd better say, from first time around American stock. This song has a deeper meaning about Nature-driven ritual that I can feel, but may not fully understand.
Want Hard Times! I give you that, with "Muddy Water Blues," track six. It just can't quit, it transcends. The Delta with a modern but still traditional sound, not as funky a Chess recording, but it is on the mark just the same. Again the slide is the haunting factor. It is electric blues with a good-sized nod to the lowlands. Not the hill country, no, the flat lands. There are a lot of deceased Delta greats I'd like to call home to listen to this one.
Track seven and eight are a treat, a double decker shot of the blues. First "Put Up or Shut Up" lays down a powerful proposition on seven, and eight, "My Turn To Play swings and shakes with soul, too. Any way you cut it, they've gone nationwide already. America, make way for the Broken Arrow Blues Band.

'The Blog Is' takes a look at Christian Collin's new release, 'American Art'
The Blog Is takes a look at the Horse Cave Trio's new CD, 'Hart County'
The Blog Is has already reported that the Horse Cave Trio's music is American Music with more than just a mild nod to the South. Kentucky. Memphis. But there's way more to the story than that. Band leader, vocalist and bass player Ron DeVore began with a rough concept. The idea was to go back in spirit to the Sun Records studio of the early '50s and revisit the chemistry that produced rock 'n' roll in the first place–the marriage of country and blues. But let the music be contemporary, too. Just as Elvis begat rock 'n' roll, which begat rock music, so did he and his like-minded cohorts feed and sustain rock-a-billy. As time went on, rock-a-billy has come to be more of an historical form. This while rock 'n' roll remained, then and now, capable of growth, change and evolution, if not revolution. Rock as it broke out stayed progressive, has always been able to take on other interpretations. The jam band constantly invents. Rock is here to stay, we hope and believe, and here to change, always. But there is plenty of room for more historical forms as well.
Rock-a-billy vs. Rock 'n' Roll
Rock 'n' roll is therefore active, changeable, while rock-a-billy is much more static and, may I say, conservative. An historical form, just like pre-War acoustic blues. Keb Mo. Ry Cooder. They look at artists like Johnny Shines and make that acoustic form take on contemporary overtones. It boils over with excitement and innovation. Where the Horse Cave Trio breaks the mold is in their willingness to make rock-a-billy something new. That is why rock-a-billy may not be the best way to describe them, so let's call it roots music. Electric blues continues to grow, too. Johnny Winter. John Mooney. Bonnie Raitt. Their blues-based electric slide work remains cutting edge, but not at the expense of the tradition of the blues. They and many others like them let the music grow. Reflect on the past, but don't be constrained by it. Mixing it up with rock they take it to new places. Cross-genre expression is a good thing. The Horse Cave trio has taken the Sun sound of old and allows it to catch up to modern times. Didn't Bob Dylan come out with an album called Modern Times not that long ago? Dylan has always made his music a melting pot of American Music. These people all allow the music it grow. Folk, Rock, Country, it's all good. Horse Cave is not constrained by the past. They work with it, keep the music fresh and new. It's what they do. There is no fear of engaging in cross-genre excursions. That DeVore and company are a Sun Records inspired band cannot be denied. But while they have been called a rock-a-billy band, I say no. They're not a dress-up act. Not a nostalgic costume party. As progressives they were sometimes criticized by rock-a-billy purists in the beginning.
Band Gains Wide Acceptance
That didn't last long, though. From the beginning they were widely accepted by blues audiences, and on the festival circuit, with a sound that is infused with contemporary rock and country, it is no surprise. Call it Hillbilly music. Hank Williams was that. After 10 years at it, Horse Cave Trio are admired for being loose and forward looking, but also for having the feel of a jam band. They jam out, always looking for new turns. Having won over rock-a-billy audiences by now, what in the final analysis does it matter what to call them other than very good. So call it rock-a-billy if you want to. But they are never a costume group. Yet all of this serves to generate some degree of controversy. What of rock-a-billy. Is it chopped liver? There is room for it all. Rock-a-billy as we generally know it today looks back in celebration of early rock 'n' roll. But the problem is that this genre often tries to recreate it note for note. But lets take a broad view. If the rock-a-billy cats sometimes dress up to look the part, how different is that from the blues fedora, or or the cowboy hats so coveted by Young Country and Texas Swing? Elvis first emerged as the white country rocker who built his music on Mississippi blues. He is called an innovator. The question is, was the King of Rock' n' Roll a rock-a-billy artist when he first plied his craft and began to look for something new? I think not. Elvis and his contemporaries, some might call them Elvis imitators, started something really big in motion. Rock 'n' roll. As the King got older, paunchier and called Vegas his home, he became Elvis the lounge lizard engaged in self parody, perhaps, or the embodiment of nostalgia. The King is dead, long live the king.
This Is Not Dress-up Music
So what of rock-a-billy as a dress-up form? Are we to take Brian Setzer to task for his on-stage attire? Is there anything wrong with playing a bright orange Gretsch? Is there any real harm in costuming? This is show business. Elvis gave rise to legions of "Elvistas" as tribute acts–a whole industry of working artists who are in great demand on cruise ships and elsewhere. What of '50s nostalgia? Marlin Brando in the "Wild Ones." The cult of the black leather motorcycle jacket. The joy of the pomp. Isn't this just innocent fun? I say if there is little to rock-a-billy other than empty artifice, then the Horse Cave Trio is to be hailed for not relying on costuming, other than a bit of a working class edge, and more inclined to let the music do the talking. When Horse Cave opened for Jimmy Vaughn, at Callahan's Music Hall recently, he said to Ron DeVore, "Son, you are a rock-a-billy singer." Is that not the highest of compliments to our own Motor City Sun-inspired trio? Jimmy Vaughn ain't bad company to keep. But don't look for costumes, black leather or cowboy hats. What you will get is a touch of blue collar which is entirely appropriate for the roots of rock 'n' roll. To get a proper idea of just how good this record is, you will have to buy it. It rocks. It jams. Hillbilly rock 'n' roll is what the Horse Dave Trio does, and they do it just about better than anybody else. –George Seedorff, Copyright 2012

William S. Carlson
William Samuel Carlson (November 18, 1905 – May 8, 1994) was a 20th-century academic administrator who served as president of four universities.[1]
Carlson was born in Ironwood, Michigan and earned bachelor's (1930), master's (1932) and Ph.D. (1938) degrees from the University of Michigan. Carlson participated in the University of Michigan Greenland Expedition of 1928–1929 and led the fourth University of Michigan Greenland Expedition in 1930–1931.[2] After completing his education, he joined the University of Minnesota as an Assistant Professor of Education, eventually becoming a full Professor and Dean of Admissions and Records.
He served in the Air Force during the Second World War, building air bases in Canada, Greenland, and Iceland for transport to Britain.
After the war, he assumed the Presidencies of the University of Delaware, the University of Vermont, and the State University of New York in rapid succession. [3][4] He undertook his longest Presidency at the University of Toledo, from which he retired after 14 years.
Carlson succumbed to lung cancer in Belleair Bluffs, Florida. The main library on the University of Toledo campus is named after him.

Jax Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Who Wants a Piece of the Champ?
Hey guys, I'm back, and this time I'm writing a guide on Jax, the Grandmaster at Arms.
Ever since the removal of Dodge, I have seldom touched Jax. The major changes at first bursted him harder than LeBlanc. You were no longer tanky and was extremely lackluster in fights unless you were given the chance to auto-attack non-stop for ~5 seconds, which never happened.
~A few buffs later...
Or more specifically, some health buffs and the change in his ult that gave him back his inevitability, I replayed him in Dominion, easily grabbing 1.5k+ points EACH game and achieving first place. Recent games even gave me at the most 2.6k points, and over twice the max points on the other team and the twice 2nd place on my team, with a 1v4 Quadra kill. If that doesn't say OP, I don't know what does.
Sooo anyway, the purpose of creating this guide was to show you my playstyle and build on how I play Jax, so here we go~
"Old" Jax
Before I begin, I'd like to tell everyone who didn't know 'Old' Jax about 'Old' Jax.
The current Jax, compared to Old Jax, is quite underwhelming. Old Jax was tankier, had a cheaper build, did more damage, and had more CC and dodge potential. The removal of Dodge was a MASSIVE nerf to our Grandmaster.
His old passive practically gave him free health for buying damage. This meant you can hit 3k~4k health going pure damage items, and gave him extreme tankiness with even one defensive item. Items that gave both defensive and offensive stats, like Atma's Impaler especially made him into TERROR.
In short, his end game stats were something like 150 Armor + Mres, 300+ AD, 200 AP, and 3k+ health with 2.5 attack speed. He was IMPOSSIBLE to take down, and 30% dodge made it worse.
Now, his stats go something like the ones on the cheatsheet. He's definitely super stronk right now, but nowhere near his old self.
How I make Jax work
There are two kinds of health in League of Legends. The most common is Flat Health. This comes directly from buying health items (
), or indirectly through effective health from Resistances (
The second kind is Regenerated Health. This health is gained through regeneration effects such as Life Steal (On-hit), Force of Nature's passive (Sheer Regeneration), skills like Transfusion (Spell Vamp), or spells like Astral Blessing/ Heal (Heals). The effects are halved by Ignite or similar healing reduction debuffs. You cannot go over your maximum health with this, unlike flat health where you directly increase it, but there isn't a limit to how much you can regenerate.
Against most team compositions, you'd want Regenerated Health with a TON of resistances. The reason for this is because since the second change to Jax's ultimate, he can now build glass cannon again while being tanky as hell. The more AD and AP you build, the more resistances you gain.
The BEST way to abuse this is not flat health through a Warmog's Armor, although it's a very good option and better at times, but to build straight damage and resistances, then build some form of life steal and spell vamp (remember Jax is a hybrid champion). Think about it: End game with your ult, you have 250 Armor and Magic Resist, which is a ~71% reduction to any damage done to you. Anyone without a Last Whisper or Void Staff will hit you for less than 1/3rd of their maximum damage. A standard AD carry will do about 1000 crits without counting resists, but through sheer resistances you can lower that into 290 per crit. Through the life steal and spell vamp from Hextech Gunblade, which is your main source of 'Health', you heal for, lets say, 50 each hit, 100 every 3rd hit, and 75 from Empower every 3rd hit as well because of the low cooldown. Hitting 1.5 attack speed, you reach your 3rd hit every 2 seconds, meaning 50*3 + 100 + 75 = 300+ regenerated health.
Take in the fact you have Counter Strike to avoid damage and stun with high base damages, it'll be very difficult to 1v1 you while you can beat down the carries quickly and efficiently, while staying alive.
The biggest counter to Regenerated Health is CC. If you aren't doing damage, you aren't Spell Vamping/Life Stealing off anything, simple as that. I try to solve this problem through items like Quicksilver Sash, Mercury's Treads, or Banshee's Veil.
The second counter is Healing Reduction effects such as Ignite, Explosive Shot, or Seastone Trident. It effectively halves your regeneration. This can be countered through Cleansing effects such as Cleanse or Quicksilver Sash, but ONLY those.
The final counter is reducing your damage. Specifically to Jax, this can be done with Randuin's Omen, Exhaust, and/or Frozen Heart. You can fix the Randuin's Omen and Exhaust debuff with Cleanse or Quicksilver Sash, but Frozen Heart can only be removed by killing the bearer.
I'm going to make this short: Void Staff or Last Whisper, or True Damage ( Reckless Swing, Noxian Guillotine). Makes 40% of your resists obsolete or ignores it, so you need either
a)Way more damage + lifesteal/spell vamp
b) Exhaust to reduce damage dealt, or
c)In the case of True Damage, more health. This can be solved with Atmogs, or Warmog's Armor + Atma's Impaler.
Greater Glyph of Magic Resist
Greater Glyph of Scaling Magic Resist
Greater Glyph of Armor
Greater Quintessence of Precision
Greater Quintessence of Attack Damage
Greater Quintessence of Lethality
In all:
Greater Mark of Attack Damage
Greater Seal of Armor
Greater Glyph of Magic Resist
Greater Quintessence of Attack Damage
Total Bonuses:
- +12.69 Armor
- +12.06 Magic Resist
Lower Tiers
These are pretty standard masteries for a damage dealer like Jax. Because Jax does hybrid damage, meaning both Physical and Magical damage, we take both Weapon Expertise and Arcane Knowledge to increase both of our damage output sources. Putting points into Deadliness > Lethality is simply not worth it because they belong in a crit-based build, and unless we are rolf-stomping every game enough to be buying Trinity Force + Infinity Edge + Hextech Gunblade, Arcane Knowledge will benefit you more than 9 AD at level 18 and 10% crit damage.
Offensive Upper Tiersasd
There's nothing really special here, I just take the rest of the Offensive Masteries that go well with Jax. This means a bit of Armor Pen from Sunder , life steal, and the final point in Executioner .
|Resistance and 3/3 Hardiness because you're going to be dealing with auto-attacks anyway.
|Durability and Veteran's Scars both give a decent amount of health. Durability gives 6 health/level, with your natural health gain you get ~100 HP for every level up. That's a LOT. Veteran's Scars is probably one of the best mastery available, the bonus for just one point is more than a Flat Health Quintt.
For some reason, the defensive masteries always had an incredible low tier bonus, it being Veteran's Scars . In S1, it required more points, but put you at +48 health at level 1. In S2, it needs 1 point, but puts you at +30 health. Both are really good, but this one is better.
I don't take Summoner's Resolve because we aren't using Smite, Revive, or Garrison, but if you like using Cleanse or Heal, feel free to take it.
Together: 21/9/0asd
Taking extra damage in the Offensive Tree while adding a bit of durability from the Defensive Tree fits Jax well as a hybrid damage dealer.
Summoner Spells
The all purpose spell. This is just great for Jax, combined with Leap Strike you essentially have two Flashes when this is up. It's VERY strong for juking though walls, chasing, getting away, everything.
The anti-carry spell. Grabbing this makes it literally impossible for anyone else to 1v1 you. That isn't always necessary though, but if no one on your team takes this, you should.
Ignite is always great for securing early kills, or shutting down healers like Swain or Dr. Mundo. I use it mostly for the kills :P
This is sometimes better than Flash because Jax technically already has a Flash with Leap Strike + wards. This lets you chase down over a longer distance than Flash or Leap Strike can.asd
Viable Summoner Spells
This is an amazing spell, but I don't take it because I usually build enough CC reduction with Quicksilver Sash, Mercury's Treads, etc to not take this. If you do take Cleanse, do not buy a Quicksilver Sash.
Map control spell. Jax doesn't necessarily need any mobility spells, nor does he need offensive spells. This is probably one of his most beneficial spells as it's the only one that offers him something he can't do on his own.
Heal bait OP. It's not as STRONK as it was because it was nerfed, but it's okay for baits, 1v1s, surviving in fights, etc. It's easily shut down by Ignites, however, and a lot of Solo Tops pack that.
Skill Sequence
R > W > Q > Easd
We want to max Empower first because it has the shortest cooldown, lowest mana cost that doesn't increase with levels, and it does the most damage as well as resetting your auto-attack timer that will increase your passive stacks.
What we take next depends on the situation. Sometimes it's better to take Leap Strike over Counter Strike to chase easier and land killing blows, as most of the time Jax's DPS is high enough to take on targets 1v1 without using Counter Strike more than once, but a lower cooldown on Counter Strike can potentially be safer against ganks as it negates more damage than you think, and there are a lot of times where you're against a lot of auto-attackers like Tryndamere and Vayne on the same team, and you can engage, disengage, and re-engage at a quicker pace.
Again, it depends on the situation, but I prefer Leap Strike for the extra damage and lower cooldown for chasing power.
Of course, take your ultimate whenever you can, extra durability for free is always great.
Core Items
In order, they are:
Trinity Force gives Jax everything he needs, and he has very high spike damage with the proc + Empower + 3rd ult hit.
Hextech Gunblade is THE item for hybrids, with an on-demand big slow if the Phage proc isn't enough.
Guardian Angel has the highest combined raw resistances in any given item, and deters people from trying to kill you most of the time. And if they do, you can always revive + Counter Strike.
These three items are literally ALL YOU NEED up until mid-late game. Late game you'll get 2 more big items, but that comes later.
Core Item Purchase Order
This is kind of simple. Your item stats priorities would be Sustain first, boots to counter damage from my lane, optional Doran's Blades, then Trinity Force > Hextech Gunblade > Guardian Angel. The magic of this is that while building more damage, Jax gets durability from his ultimate and more regenerated health from sufficient life steal so you don't need to build ANY defensive items until later in the game.
The item I take for sustain depend on my lane opponent, but 90% of the time I'll go for Bilgewater Cutlass. Building AD grants armor due to Grandmaster's Might, and armor counters most of the damage from your standard bruiser at top. Also, we get a slow from the active ^_^ You can also buy a Wriggle's Lantern here, but I personally feel it's overrated on Jax just because it has a built in ward for you to jump to.
If I'm against an AP top or against Teemo, I'll go straight for Hextech Revolver for AP, which converts into Magic Resist. If I'm getting stomped, I'll buy a Hexdrinker first.
Grabbing 1 or 2 Doran's Blades is entirely optional, I prefer not to buy them because they delay Trinity Force for ~1000 gold, and I want that as soon as possible. However, they are great for filling up that extra inventory space that you might not get to when the game ends, or just as a small boost in early-mid game.
After I finish my sustain and situational items, I go straight for Trinity Force. Trinity Force rush is better than Hextech Gunblade rush because of the massive spike damage, AND it has bonus attack speed to get your passive stacked faster, which is crucial in fights as Jax is very vulnerable to burst, and the faster you get your stacks up, the more regenerated health you gain.
The massive spike damage from Sheen pretty much makes you CRUSH your lane. Every 5-6 seconds, you can Leap Strike > Empower (NOT Empower > Leap Strike! There's a difference!) with the 3rd hit on your ultimate for 500+ damage, ~300 after resists early mid game where most champions have about 1500 health. It's fast, mana efficient, and if they decide to fight or trade you can decide to just kill them with the stun from Counter Strike and high sustained DPS.
Last, NEVER buy Zeal first. Buy Sheen if you're winning your lane, Phage if you're unsure or just want survivability, or Phage if you want the slow.
After Trinity Force, finish Hextech Gunblade and build up a Guardian Angel. If you got fed up until now, then it's GG~! If not, the power of these three items (unless you're feeding really hard) should be strong enough to pull you back into the game.
At this point, you can go for even more damage, or survivability depending on what you need. Pure survivability items are ALWAYS better than going glass cannon for the same amount of resists as you'll get an additional effect most of the time. Items that give BOTH survivability and damage, like Atma's Impaler or Maw of Malmortius are GREAT at this point because, well, you do more damage AND become tankier.
I recommend going for Maw of Malmortius next because it's one of the best late game items for Jax. Jax already has built in survivability against auto-attackers like Sivir or Ashe, but nothing to stop single-target casters from blowing his face in. Maw of Malmortius allows Jax to tank a few more spells while beating down his target, then moving on to other squishies.
The shield and passive also has great synergy with Jax where they all kick in a while after a fight has started. The shield from Maw of Malmortius and extra damage really kick in together at about the time when you have 6 stacks on Relentless Assault, making you THAT much more dangerous compared to the beginning of the fight, and they both prevent you from getting bursted down the rest of the fight.
Another great item would be Quicksilver Sash, as it erases all CC from you, and CC is really the biggest thing that destroys Jax in a team fight. Also, it's cheap and has the 3rd highest Mres in a single item.
Your last two items should always be situational. ALWAYS.
|shurelya's reverie zeke's herald
A lot of these items are fairly straightforward, you just buy them for extra BAMF in fights or just to be extra tanky. Buy damage if you're ahead, resists if you're behind. Nothing hard about that.
Why I don't like Wriggle's Lantern
It delays your build too much, and double Doran's Blades are better. Buy wards or jump to minions/allies instead :P I don't care if it's 'on-demand', it's called timing your minion wave with your aggression. When it's coming, play extra aggressive because you know they will be there. When it's not, don't be as aggressive but still slap your opponent around.
Also, you can juke to enemy champions too, saved my life more than once.
You can take it if you want, it's just personal preference for me :P
I'm going to focus on a lot of things here, as not a lot of other guides go over this topic as specifically as possible.
Jax isn't necessarily the strongest early game laner, but once he gets a few levels on he becomes impossible to deal with. Going over the early game 'hurdle' is important, because getting shut down almost always loses you the game.
Jax is VERY weak in comparison to other top laners here...
...if it weren't for Counter Strike ;D
Counter Strike is the BEST trading skill in the game at low levels. You completely negate minion and auto-attack damage, it has really high base damage AND ratio, but it has a long cooldown. So how do we use this to our advantage...?
It's easy, when you feel your opponent will commit even a bit, even if it's a skirmish, use it. Auto-attack them to PURPOSELY draw minion aggro, as it'll increase your damage, and chase to keep in range. After the full two seconds have passed, stun them, and back off, utilizing the brush to lose minion/champion aggro.
While Counter Strike is down, play passively ;3 When it's up, it lets you be more aggressive, because there's no way any skill at levels 1-3 will do serious damage, except for maybe Olaf, and Jax avoids the rest of the damage through dodge.
Once you hit 2, grab Empower. You now have the nastiest level 2 trading skills in the game. When the other laner comes in to trade, Counter Strike > auto-attack > reset with Empower, stun them, and back off. MAKE SURE YOU USE THE RESET!!! The extra 40-50 damage helps immensely, especially early game when champions only have 700-800 health tops.
When you hit 3, you should have your full spell combo. This is Jax's first major increase in lane power. Save Leap Strike to chase so that you LAND that stun if they try running, or use it to escape ganks. DO NOT use it to trade unless you absolutely have to against a ranged champion like Yorick or Vladimir.
As you grow in levels and put more points into Empower, your trading damage will get higher and higher. Always remember to auto-attack THEN Empower for the reset, you want every bit of damage early game for dominance.
Level 6 is when Jax gains another increase in laning power, and this one makes him start CRUSHING his lane.
Once I get my ultimate, I start paying close attention for when my next attack will proc my ultimate. When it does, Leap Strike in then instantly Empower to slap your opponent for 300-400 damage. Alternatively, you can Leap Strike > AA > Empower, but the first method works better because there's no delay between the proc and the jump.
Every time you find yourself where your next hit (Or second to next hit, if you're skilled) will proc your ult and your opponent is in range, Leap Strike and slap them.
When they come in auto-attack range, SLAP THEM with Empower.
When they get low, add in Counter Strike at the right moment and KILL THEM.
What if you run OOM? Well, the magic of this is, with an early Sheen you won't unless you've literally killed/forced back your opponent 2-3 times without you going back yourself. Empower and free bonus damage with natural regen costs soooooo little mana and does soooo much damage that it's not even fair.
What if your opponent tries to trade that damage? Counter Strike to avoid it, stun them, and SLAP THEM SOME MORE. That is all.
Focus squishies. Avoid people with items like Randuin's Omen and Frozen Heart. It;s okay to fight people with Thornmail, those people don't know anything about Jax.
Activate your ult right before you engage, you don't want to be bursted down before it begins.
Use Leap Strike to get onto squishies, the AD Carry in particular, slow them with Hextech Gunblade, and keep pounding at them, Flash to keep up if necessary. Counter Strike to avoid ALL their auto-attack damage and try bursting them down.
Spam W, but try to time it so you reset your auto-attack. Spam Counter Strike too for maximum survivability, but it's not as important when the auto-attacking threats are gone.
When the AD dies, jump onto the AP Carry. That simple :3
Team fighting as Jax isn't that difficult, you just have to use your item actives at the right time (easy), click Q, right click some squishies, and BAM you get a triple/quadra/penta and both teams are saying GG.
Also, using Counter Strike's stun can be GAME CHANGING. Using Leap Strike into a position where you can stun 3-4, maybe even 5 enemy champions at once can give your team that one second to do enough burst to take out a majority of the other team. Try to find out if it's better to stun multiple enemy champions, or just your target. If you're in a position to do both, take the oppurtunity to do it!
Play safe and farm up. A farmed Jax is just as dangerous as a fed Jax.
Alternatively, you can gank other lanes. This isn't that guaranteed as you can feed more, but play it safe and you might come ahead again ^_^
If you're getting stomped/zoned in lane, the best thing to do is call for a gank. Make sure your resources (health + mana) are both relatively high, or low if you think you can bait, and that your lane opponent is in a position to be ganked. Then, Counter Strike > Leap Strike > Empower. Not killing them is okay, as long as you and your jungler pressure them enough to leave you alone.
If you aren't getting any CS at all, buy some GP5 items, and build them into something else later on. I personally enjoy using philosopher's stone + Heart of Gold into shurelya's reverie and Randuin's Omen in solo top, but Avarice Blade into Youmuu's Ghostblade works good too. Gold per 5 practically guarantees your late game to have some worth as you're making money without doing anything, but also know there's a chance you won't make it there if you feed too hard :P

Chantix Lawsuit Filed. One of the first lawsuits over Pfizer's smoking cessation drug, Chantix, is becoming official this week. The lawsuit alleges that the use of Chantix led David Collins of Gas City, Indiana, to commit suicide in January and that Pfizer failed to issue proper warnings about psychiatric side effects.
Collins' widow, Linda, filed the suit Tuesday in a U.S. District Court in Indianapolis. According to the lawsuit, Collins began using Chantix in October 2007. Linda's lawyer claims David had no history of psychiatric problems.
The lawsuit alleges that Pfizer purposely excluded people with a history of mental illness when it tested Chantix during clinical trials. "I run a clinic, and two out of three (smokers) I see have psychiatric or mood problems," Dr. Daniel Seidman, director of Smoking Cessation Services at Columbia University Medical Center, is quoted in the suit.
The suit also alleges the active ingredient in Chantix was derived from cytosine. Cytosine has been linked to suicide and the suit alleges Pfizer should have known about that link based on documentation dating back over 30 years.
The suit also alleges Pfizer historically delays publication of scientific papers
The suit also alleges Pfizer historically delays publication of scientific papers if such papers contain results unfavorable to the marketing of its products. The Institute for Safe Medication Practices recently reported that it has received notice of nearly 1,000 serious side effects related to Chantix.
Meanwhile, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently approved the Medication Guide on Chantix and issued an alert to highlight changes to the "Warnings and Precautions" section of the full prescribing information regarding serious neuropsychiatric symptoms linked to Chantix.
Symptoms include changes in behavior, agitation, depressed mood, suicidal ideation, and both attempted and completed suicide. Many consumer advocates, including the group Public Citizen, want the FDA to go further and highlight the Chantix suicide risk with a black box warning—the agency's highest safety alert.
Despite this, health officials in the federal government are urging smokers to use Chantix as part of their efforts to stop smoking despite the drug's association to suicidal thoughts and behavior. And, while the new smoking cessation guidelines, published by the US Public Health Service, do note the Chantix links with suicide and other psychiatric side effects, the Pfizer drug is promoted as the method most likely to help smokers wanting to quit.
The new guidelines are creating controversy, not only because of the strong Chantix recommendation, but also because their lead author, Dr. Michael Fiore, has ties to Pfizer.
As FDA's review of the problems with Chantix has continued, the FDA states it "appears increasingly likely that there is an association between Chantix and serious neuropsychiatric symptoms." It was because of this that the FDA requested that Pfizer elevate the prominence of this safety information. In the US, 34 Chantix users have reportedly committed suicide.
According to an FDA November 20 Early Communication, the agency said its preliminary assessment revealed many of the cases reflected new-onset of depressed mood, suicidal ideation, and changes in emotion and behavior within days to weeks of initiating Chantix treatment.

Weymouth Dentist To Embark On Health Awareness Trek
8:12am 17th August 2012
A Weymouth dentist is travelling a hundred miles to raise awareness of mouth cancer.
Paul Kelly and his parter, Danielle Wootton are taking part in the Two Moors Way- trekking across Exmoor and Dartmoor and finishing in Ivybridge.
Mouth cancer rates are continuing to rise. It's not one of the more common forms of cancer it has a high morbidity rate.
Paul says this is mainly down to people failing to get their symptoms checked out in time.
He's calling on people to go and see their dentist or doctor if they have lingering mouth ulcers or any unusual swelling or pain in their mouth.
