Squatty Potty Customer Testimonials
Saves time. Saves effort. Saves paper. – Squatting is eco-friendly, too!
"It's stylish! You can stow it away by sliding it under your toilet bowl. And it doesn't stick out like a sore thumb in your bathroom like the old plastic box I used to use."
- Sean Croxton, Underground Wellness
Is There Anything The Squatty Potty Can't Do?!My family loves it... it's practically part of the family. I originally bought the Squatty Potty because I was pregnant with my fourth. I knew about the constipation that was going to hit me from the other three. I am always anemic during my pregnancies and have to take iron. Iron = plugged pipes. I was determined not to have this problem. Not only did the Squatty Potty prevent any and all constipation it helped me feel incredible during my pregnancy. I gained less weight, retained less water, had clear skin and felt great! I was regular and believe me, I felt the difference. One added bonus was that it helped me tone, stretch and get ready for birth. I give birth naturally with midwives attending in a birthing pool. There is no better way to push than in a squatting position. I squatted during my previous birth, but it wasn't as comfortable because my body was use to the position. This time, my body was ready to squat. My son was born after less than 2 hours of labor and 5 minutes of pushing. I recommend the Squatty Potty for every pregnant women. It made such a difference. I hope to get one for our two other bathrooms. I'm tired of fighting my husband and kids to use the downstairs bathroom with our "squatty"! Thank you!

This Product Truly Changes Lives!"I learned about the idea behind the Squatty Potty while attending a pelvic floor workshop led by yoga teacher Leslie Howard. Having travelled to parts of the world where squatting is normal, I had never had the physiological benefits of squatting explained as Leslie did. I did some internet research and decided the Squatty Potty was our choice. We've had ours several months, and my husband and I joke about how much smoother everything goes now. I recently had a routine gyn appointment and told my doctor about the Squatty Potty and how I felt it was benefitting me. She was so interested that, after our appointment, she raced off to tell the department's hemorrhoid specialist about my rave review. In my humble opinion, they should be everywhere! When I stay somewhere without a stool, I look around to see what else I can use to squat. My sense of humor about this matches my amazement that I lived so long "going" against my body's design. The western toilet may have been dubbed "the throne," but long may the Squatty Potty reign!" Thanks again.

Proper Bathroom Alignment"Being able to get into a proper squat isn't just about ideal bowel movements, and reducing bloating and hemorrhoids (as if that isn't enough); squatting can also help strengthen the pelvic floor and prevent low back injuries. Pressure from straining during elimination can cause the nerves that control the Bladder, Uterus and Prostate to become stretched and damaged. Straining can also cause Hernias and Pelvic Organ Prolapse. The great thing about the Squatty Potty is that it raises you up so you can squat over your own toilet and the platform is slightly tilted allowing for those tight calf muscles."
- Barbara Loomis, Portland, OR
Most Popular in House"The toilet with The Squatty Potty is the most popular in the house. I had to buy one for my kids because they wouldn't stop using my bathroom"

We Are So Happy WIth Our Squatty Potty"We are so happy with our Squatty Potty! It arrived quickly, is easy to use, and I love how neatly and easily it stows under the toilet. Other home-made squatting options have been big and ugly, and built-in squat toilets hard to find…thanks for this great and simple product!"

Internet Quackery?"May sound like internet quackery, but there's now empirical evidence for the claim that defecation posture effects your health"
Squatty Potty Is Wonderful"Squatty Potty is wonderful! I recommend it to ANYONE. Being a nurse, I see people everyday with elimination problems. Squatty Potty can lessen or even halt the damage done to your body, get one today!"
- Jenna Jonteaux-McClay
Skeptical At First"I love my squatty potty! I admit I was skeptical at first. My first life changing experience was on a vacation and I was backed up. I used the squatty potty at a friends house and was shocked at the immediate results. My second experience was the morning of the moab half marathon I was backed up again. Nothing is more miserable than running with a gut ache so I used the squatty potty again and was once again successful. I am obsessed now! I love telling people all about it and honestly everyone needs to have a squatty potty. It's like turning your toilet into a throne! It is best thing I've bought in a long time!"

I Doubted The Squatty PottyGrowing up I never had any issues with my bowel movements. The toilets in my childhood home were very low to the ground which naturally made my legs squat. In 1999 I graduated from High School and began living in apartments and homes other than my childhood home. During the past 10 years I have realized that it wasn't so easy for me anymore. I'm very short and it seems that most toilets are very high. When I first heard of the "SQUATTY POTTY" I laughed! "Are you kidding me? Like that works!" My mother in law was convinced that it works and she bought us one for a Christmas gift. I was very stubborn and didn't even want to try it out. It sat in my bathroom for about 2 weeks before I tried it! So I sat down put my feet on the SQUATTY POTTY and before I knew it I had already had a bowel movement. It was amazing! I sent a text to my mother in law praising her for such a great gift! My body definitely needed to be in it's natural squatting position for me to be able to easily have bowel movements. I am a TRUE believer in the "SQUATTY POTTY"!

The Only Fiber I Need!Good Ol' fashioned sitting hasn't been good to me against the battle of the raging rhoids? But now with my knees up, I'm knockin' poops outta the ball park! The only fiber I need now is already in this sturdy pressed wood stool.
- Bryant
Lifelong ProblemI've had a lifelong problem with constipation and even on a laxative regime I never felt comfortable. Now, at last, with a daily dose of stool softeners and the use of the SQUATTY POTTY, I not only have regular elimination but I also have a more complete movement every time, often more than once a day. Now I finally have what my husband had bragged about for over forty years!!!

The Perfect Height and SlantThis is a tough subject for me to talk about but I had to let you know how much I love the Squatty Potty. For several years I have had some colon issues so I decided to have a colonic to clean out my colon. After I was finished I had to expel the water that was left inside my colon. The technician told me that I should always use a stool in front of my toilet to keep my knees above my waist as that was the best position for eliminating. I had never heard of such a thing. So when I went home I found a small stool and put it in front of my toilet but it was awkward and also the wrong height. And after stubbing my toe several times in the night thought that it was not going to work. That's when I discovered The Squatty Potty. Wow! what a difference. The perfect height and the forward slant made it so that I could actually squat comfortably right over my toilet. It has made going to the bathroom a very rewarding experience. My fissure has completely been healed which I have suffered with for years. Thanks Squatty Potty

I Get A Lot Of HeadachesAs you can tell from my screen-name, I get alot of headaches. We've tried different meds, bio-hormone therapy, meditation techniques and even eliminating certain foods and all alcohol and so on and on and on. Still, if a week went by w/o me getting a headache, or worse a full-blown migraine, there was one right around the corner. For the past 15 yrs I've been averaging 3 migraines per month. Most were debilitating and they did affect the quality of my life. A few months ago, at a NY Eve party, when I told an Asian friend, who is an RN, that I couldn't drink any alcohol because of the migraine problem she then told me about squatting. I was really surprised, and a bit skeptical so it took me almost a month to try squatting. But, I've now been squatting for one-month today and I've not had a headache since a few days after I started to squat. I am finally headache-free for the first time in 15 yrs. I am also calmer and not as easily irritated … so I've also noticed an improvement in my disposition. I dropped a few pounds as well and my stomach isn't bloated. (LOL – guess I was full of shit) I now always have a complete elimination every time … something I rarely had before. My Asian friend also told me that short people (and children) are more affected by the damage caused by not squatting. Makes sense … and I'm a petite woman … only 5'3″. It took me almost a month to make the change but it was the best change I ever made. I guess if the poop backs up it releases toxins and I'm guessing, in my case, that's what caused me to suffer from migraines.

My Health Improved DramaticallyI started squatting a few weeks ago. My overall health has improved dramatically. My stomach is flatter and I'm no longer having digestive or stomach problems. I look and feel much better. It only took a little over a week until I started to notice positive changes. They didn't happen right away. I highly, highly recommend the squatting position for children and adults. Wish I knew sooner.

6 Year Old Screamed, "I Love The Squatty Potty!"One morning I noticed my son Max (Age 6) walk into the bathroom and shut the door. All of a sudden I heard him scream "I LOVE THE SQUATTY POTTY, IT'S SO AMAZING, IT'S THE RADDEST THING EVER INVENTED!" It was hilarious, but so true. The Squatty Potty works so amazing for my kids. They no longer have to sit and push to have a Bowel Movement. The SQUATTY POTTY (especially the tall one) allows my kids to put their legs in the body's natural position so they can go into the bathroom and get it done quickly!
- Max (told by his Mother):
Troubled By HemorrhoidsBeen troubled by hemorrhoids for sometime now and was recommended by a doctor to undergo surgery. I Just learned about the advantages of squatting only the other day. It seems to have been working to alleviate my condition.

Wildly Entertaining DiscussionThis was, first and formost, a wildly entertaining discussion. Thank you all. As for you you nay-sayers, frankly, I think that you all should have your heads checked out as well as your rectums. This is a matter that must be approached with an open mind, have you never been camping? How can you deny the obvious and logically streamlined benefits of squatting? Where are your imaginations? Diet? Sounds like a good complement to squatting but hardly an all emcompassing squat subverting solution.
- Herr VanScheizerman
Excited To Have Squatty PottyI am so excited to have my Squatty Potty at home! I lived for a year in India with a hybrid squatter/sitter toilet in my home, and got used to the ultra-natural elimination that comes with hunkering down. Ever since then, it's been an effort (often comical) to get my feet up on walls, tubs, chairs, shelves–you name it. Finally, I can get comfortable in my own bathroom here in the U.S., and my poop time has reduced by minutes. No more waiting! I would like to share my observation that squatting is helpful not only for pooping, but also for peeing. In the literature championing squatting, no one has ever mentioned that squatting is also the most natural position to urinate, and it encourages complete bladder emptying, something both men and women encounter problems with as age advances and bladder/prostate/pelvic floor issues arise. Squatting allows for more complete emptying of the bladder without having to "push" or force, just as with pooping. It's one reason why I love having my Squatty Potty, and one reason that others should know about, too. Thanks for the Squatty Potty!
Sincerely, Bhakti
Worked Wonders For Potty TrainingOur family had a long and difficult road to potty independence for our 5 year old son (who had lingering digestive/bowel issues and chronic constipation related to premature birth). After years of working to move out of diapers/pull-ups for BMs and having the potty schedule/process literally rule our lives, it was discovering the option of squatting that finally got us over the hump and past the fear of using the toilet. We had tried every kind of toilet training device, method, and strategy you can imagine, spending hundreds of dollars on various seats, stools, books, and other tools (not to mention the GI specialists and other professionals). If only we'd known sooner about the Squatty Potty! There are a few other products on Amazon offering a similar concept, namely a stool that allows one to get into a stable squatting position over the toilet for bowel movements.
We prefer the Squatty Potty for its sleak, unobtrusive, non-plastic design that easily fits into our narrow bathroom and allows quick clean-up of any splashes or spills. The design allows for anyone in the family to quickly and comfortably get to the toilet and have the choice to use or not use the stool with no need to move it out of the way. There is no blocking the bathroom door, either.
There are only 2 colors available at this point, the natural bamboo and painted white. It would be nice to have some other options, but since it's wood, you could always paint it to match your decor if desired. The Squatty Potty is not generally marketed as a potty training device, but it worked wonders for our family. For humorous and informative videos on how to use the device and the other benefits of squatting to use the toilet (as people have been doing since the dawn of time), you can check out The Squatty Potty website and YouTube.

From A Developing CountryI am from a developing country (India) and squatting is the only known way, almost all homes have traditional squat toilet and water is for cleaning up afterwards. It is a traditional Yoga pose.
• All these rectal related diseases are practically unknown
• Colon cancer doesn't exist even among meat eating people
• Longevity in western world has increased due to better sanitation and general hygines and not due to advancements modern medicine. Poor People in developing nation die due most to ecto parasites
• Even elderly parents and grand parents 70+ are comfortable in this pose and no bad knees
I Had Horrible HemorrhoidsI started squatting about 4 years ago. I had horrible hemorrhoids and was told that squatting was the way to go….If you get my drift. I got on line and found Natures Platform. I ordered two and it really helped me out. I like that it has a broad foot base. I loan them out to see if people are interested in squatting. You can't beat Johnathon Isbit's knowledge on squatting. My husband had a hard time using the platform. He went on line and found The Lillypad. That worked better for him…Man, there is great engineering put into the Lillypad! I was looking for a potty for my 1 year old granddaughter. To keep her squatting. She squats naturally. So again I went to my computer to find a squatty potty for her. And there was such a thing, just not for toddlers. I loved the guy talking and squatting. What a great, funny, way to talk about this touchy subject. I laughed out loud and sent my family the link to watch the video. We were looking to get a squatting device for our office in Nevada when I found the Squatty Potty on line. The price is so good and we liked the look of the design. We were curious to see if it fit into our squatting needs. I knew a couple of other people who wanted them too and made an order for three! We all like The Squatty Potty very much. The best parts for us are, the stability, being able to keep the toilet seat down while squatting, and the easy access of The Squatty Potty. AND we don't have to take our pants all the way off, when we go!!!!! It is wonderful doing business with Judy and Bill. They are so kind and happy to listen to my squatting stories. I like that The Squatty Potty is made in different sizes and materials. So we can all squat within our budgets and flex-abilities. The new news is that I have three more people that are getting The Squatty Potty. I really love this crusade!!!!
Thanks Judy and Bill, for going for it, and getting The Squatty Potty out to the public!

Stricken By HemorrhoidsI have been absolutely stricken by Hemorrhoids for about the last 7 years. I immediately saw a doctor when the first thrombosis appeared, and he told me that he could operate, but that I would be laid up for weeks, and I wasn't terribly interested. I gingerly stood up, walked out, and it did 'get better' after a few weeks. Unfortunately it came back, disappeared, came back worse, didn't quite disappear, got worse again, and worse, regardless of fiber / ointments / suppositories / anything else. I had to stop riding my bike. I could not run. This started when I was 25 years old! I had been in great shape (and still am) but lost my mobility due to the incessant screaming from 'down below'.
Ok, Fast forward. This past spring break things got so bad that I literally just sat in a chair for a week. I dropped my math classes at the U cause I just could not think about math due to the pain. Finally I went to a colorectal surgeon again. She showed me the color prints of what she called 'successful' surgery and I panicked. There was no way that I would submit myself to any of the suggested operations. Especially not the new stapling process. Just look into it if you want to feel really uncomfortable.
I went home. I searched the internet again and again for 'hemorrhoid cure' or similar. I had been doing this for years but never came across the information about squatting. This time I did.
I found a summary of the study performed by the Israeli doctor, where he suggested to 20 grade 3-4 H. sufferers to squat for a year (and to respond immediately to the urge, whenever possible) and coloscoped them again after the year had passed. 18 out of 20 were completely cured after a year. The two who were not cured had previously suffered at the hands of doctors — they had both had banding operations. Banding is, of course, listed as the least of all the procedures, in terms of 'down time'.
Hmm, I said. Hmm. At this point, having a bowel movement was such an ordeal for me that I was looking for anything, and there appeared to be absolutely no downside to trying a squat to to my business. I ordered a platform from naturesplatform immediately after my first experiment on my toilet seat.
First time I tried it I knew that there was something to this 2.5 months have passed. I go every day now. No problem, I feel the urge and I go. I have not sat to defecate once in this time frame. I can't imagine it anymore. Squatting works so well, and evacuation is so complete that there is no way I would ever go back.
No way. Never! Oh.. And the Hemorrhoids. They are curing quite nicely. I never even think about them anymore.
Whatever prolapse I had had is now reduced by 90%. I can easily tuck whatever I need to back where it needs to be and it will not protest. Contrasted with my experiences while sitting it is like I have received a new lease on life. I am quite grateful for the illumination and attempt, as sincerely as possible, to relate to others what they need to do to secure themselves a comfortable future.
I feel better than I have in 6 years. I can run and do whatever I want to do. I don't need to take fiber anymore, unless I want it for its benefits. I am certainly not constipated. I am back in touch with my anal canal nerves. Hopefully there has not been too much damage to my pelvic floor nerves.
One last note on surgery. I read this somewhere and it really stuck. Since surgeries always involve the removal of tissue, it is easy to see how 'it is impossible to heal that which is not there'. One final note. In having conversations with my mother on this topic, she reminded me how I had informed her that I wanted my diapers back when being potty trained. She gave them back and kept an eye on me.
She revealed that she finally got me 'trained' when she noticed me SQUATTING. Hehe. When she saw that she asked me if I had to go, I said yes, and the rest was history. At least it was until I hit 31 and re-remembered the right way to go.

Sciatica Pain
By Linda Sparrowe
Quite literally a pain in the rear end for millions of people, sciatica is hard to diagnose and equally puzzling to treat. The sciatic nerve, a thick conduit that's anchored in the sacrum (the back of the pelvis), runs from the lower spine through the deep layers of the buttock muscles and down the back of each leg to the heel. Irritation (inflammation) or pressure anywhere along the nerve can produce pain—from a tingling sensation or a dull ache on the outside of your foot to an intense knee-buckling pain in your buttocks. Generally speaking, however, "true" sciatica will radiate down the leg all the way past the knee.
Because so many nerve impulses run along the sciatic pathway, you may not actually feel the pain where it originates. Instead, for example, you may have an intense pain in your hip only to discover that the nerve is pinched somewhere near your knee. Or you could feel a dull persistent ache in your outer calf that could very well stem from an overly tight muscle in your hip or buttock.
No one comes down with a case of sciatica without suffering from other imbalances in the body. The most common causes of sciatic pain include disk compression, particularly on the lumbar spine (lower back), and piriformis syndrome. The piriformis, a strong muscle that helps externally rotate the top of the leg and stabilize the pelvis, attaches at one end to the sacrum and then runs directly over the sciatic nerve to connect to the femur bone. If the piriformis muscle gets wound too tight, it can press down on the nerve and create a burning sensation that begins deep in the buttocks and radiates down your leg. Dancers, especially those who stand or dance with their feet turned out, often suffer from an overly tight piriformis; so do bicyclists and runners. Poor posture from sitting all day, slumped at your computer, can also aggravate the situation.
Yoga to the rescue According to Elise Browning Miller, a senior Iyengar teacher who specializes in yoga for back care, yoga can act as a double-edged sword when it comes to sciatica. "Certain yoga poses can alleviate sciatica," says Miller, author of the DVD Yoga for Scoliosis (Shanti, 2003), "because they help create space in the spine" and improve posture, both of which can relieve compressed or herniated disks. Yoga can also gently stretch and release the piriformis muscle and open up your hips. But if you overstretch, "yoga can actually cause more inflammation," she cautions, and make things worse. And yoga should never cause you pain nor aggravate the situation.
So, if your sciatic pain stems from a tight piriformis muscle, work indirectly, Miller says. Don't go deep into the piriformis by doing a series of hip stretches. Instead, Miller suggests the following:
∗ Do poses that create space in your back and hips without overstretching.
∗ Stay away from twists and forward bends until you're symptom-free.
∗ Use props such as a wall or straps to create trac...

Dr. William J. Grimm's Ratings
I love Dr. Grimm. I was his patient for 11 years. In june 2013, he played an important lead role in my care. He is very knowledgeable, compassionate and caring. Being an DO is not that different from an MD, they each receive a quality education. Dr. Grimm has impressive post graduate experience. He is a past President of the Riverside County Medical Association and Board member of the Desert Regional Medical Center I would not hesitate to recommend him. Even when his practice was extremely busy before MDVIP he would spend 30 minimum win me during an office visit. Now, if you are lucky enough to become his patient he has even more time to spend with patients. His holistic approach to medical care goes beyond just the medical issues as he cares about the patient as a person. If I wasn't unemployed and I was able to afford the cost of the VIP fee then I would still be his patient. DER in Palm Springs

Don't set your expectations too high with Dr. Grimm. He's caring; he listens. He is more knowledgeable than many in Palm Springs. He fast, popular and crowded. He comes up with some brilliant solutions, but he also falters. If you like a doctor who spends a lot of time with you, go elsewhere. You will be disappointed.

By now, you've probably heard of Chevrolet 's new marketing campaign for the Chevy Volt , including the eyebrow-raising, yet LSS-inducing 'Chevy Volt Song'.
It turns out that the Chevy Volt Song has an equally dumb-founding cousin: the Chevy Volt Dance.
Don't get us wrong: we appreciate the arts of singing and dancing just like everyone else, but we do have to question the rationale of PR and marketing heads of Chevrolet for their decision to market the Volt like some sort of variety show.
While the Chevy Volt Song does have a tinge of catchiness into it, the Chevy Volt Dance is straight out of a choreographed noon-time variety show, complete with the backflips, gyrating, and break-dancing. The Volt, we surmise, will be better off without 'the Dance' and we just hope that Chevrolet does something about it like say, burn any and all tapes and remove all evidence that such a dance ever existed.

Central Pennsylvania Speeding Violations Defense Lawyers
65 Years of Criminal Defense Experience in Harrisburg
Speeding tickets may seem like the least-serious criminal charge you can receive. A conviction for speeding, however, can lead to serious consequences, including:
- Fines
- Increased insurance rates
- Traffic points
Points can cause serious problems with your driving record. Every moving violation and traffic ticket, including speeding tickets, brings points against your driving record. Just six points can result in a mandatory 15-day driver's license suspension.
Speak to experienced defense attorney Elisabeth K.H. Pasqualini if you are facing license suspension in Pennsylvania.
At the Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, law firm of Shaffer & Engle Law Offices, LLC, we provide experienced and aggressive legal defense against all traffic violations, including speeding charges. Our attorney team includes a former instructor to Pennsylvania police officers regarding police practices and procedures. We are highly effective in defending speeding charges.
Have you been charged with speeding? Contact Shaffer & Engle Law Offices, LLC at 717-827-4074 or 866-765-0706 for experienced legal help.
Our attorney team is has handled over 1,000 criminal cases, including hundreds of cases involving speeding, unsafe passing, racing and other speed-related issues. We can provide aggressive and knowledgeable defense, including defense based on:
- Police machinery and police operator error. Speed-detecting machines are often unreliable, and their results can be challenged based on their maintenance, police training and police error. We have successfully challenged speeding tickets based on police officers' failure to avoid obstructions when using Accutrak machines and other radar devices.
- Roadway conditions. Busy traffic and inclement weather can result in incorrect radar readings.
Before allowing speeding convictions to raise your insurance rates and lead to a mandatory driver safety examination, contact us for a no-charge discussion of our speeding defense legal services.

I think it's "For Blood And Empire", because it was the first album I bought and my favourite song - This Is The End - is on it. :')
Hey :')
Aww really? Oh, this is so nice. You just made my day :)
I am glad you like my blog!
Wow, this is impossible to answer, I guess. I really love them all equally. They are all awesome and cool people, all of them play awesome music and I bet that all of them are nice as well.
When I started to look at pictures of Anti-Flag, Chris #2 was the first one that got my attention because of his mohawk and he is the lead singer in "This Is The End" and that's why he is a kind of a special role model for me.
However, I wouldn't consider him as my favourite band member, because I really love them all. If just one of them left the band it wouldn't be Anti-Flag anymore.
bananarchists replied to your post: smockerisms replied to…
Oops this is kinda bullshit. You shouldn't change your handwriting. There is nothing wrong with having a """feminine"" handwriting. It is YOU writing the letter, it would be less honest if you changed your handwriting. Keep it real, be yourself.
Aw thank you for your support :)
I really tried writing… "less feminine" but this is not possible. And I think if I wrote different, it would make the letter very unpersonal.
Sorry, AF, but you have to deal with my handwriting!
smockerisms replied to your post: smockerisms replied to…
your content seems very real, you should be ok
Good! I mean…I guess AF won't judge me after my handwriting, so I guess this is alright.
realitybecameadream replied to your post: Guys, help me. I wrote a first draft of my AF…
nein, der ist toll :3
Ja? Also ist es nicht zu kitschig?
Wie auch immer…Ich bin fertig! :3
Yay :')
smockerisms replied to your post: smockerisms replied to your post: So…I am about to…
truly i don't mean this to be offensive, but it looks very generically feminine, and from it, they might assume that you're one of those girls who "likes" that genre of music because it's "cool" (which obviously you are not) and kind of discredits yo
Uh..I see your point..But I can't change my handwriting (now that you mention..you are right, it is a kinda feminine writing). Any ideas what I could do now?
I don't want AF to hate me or so.
Guys, help me. I wrote a first draft of my AF letter. Is this too much? I don't wanna sound like a crazy weirdo…
smockerisms replied to your post: So…I am about to write this letter to Anti-Flag. I…
I hate to say this, but you will likely be perceived negatively from that handwriting, dear.
So…I am about to write this letter to Anti-Flag. I want to give it to them at the gig in August. I don't know yet if I will give it to them personally…if I am close enough to them during the gig I will just throw it on the stage because I am very shy.
Anyway…I don't know how to start…Actually there is only one thing I want to tell them and this is "Thank you", but I guess writing just two words is too short for a letter, huh?
This is a difficult question. I think I choose "This Is The End (For You My Friend)", because this song gives me so much strength. It makes me feel less worthless and this song gave me back some self confidence I have lost over the past years.

Brad Steiger 8/18/13
Please join me this Sunday, August 18th, for a discussion with renowned author Brad Steiger.
We'll be talking about the Founding Fathers and their belief in the 'Plurality of Worlds' or off world civilizations.
You may be surprised by some of what you hear!
I hope you tune in.
6 PM Pacific - 9 PM Eastern
Don't forget tonight. Brad is always full of information.
It should be a great program!
Nope, I didn't forget!
Great show. Interesting and fun!
One of my favorite parts is when Shirley asked him for some documentation on the Christopher Columbus story. Not because she was questioning him, by any means, but because it proved to me that Shirley just doesn't believe everything she hears, no matter who says it....nor does she expect us too. :)
Until next time~xo
Finally had the chance to listen to this interview this morning on the way into the office. Excellent both in depth and breadth! Something to add to my reading list.
Namaste from the Midwest,

Stocks slide on global growth concerns
Dow sheds 125 points to below 13,000. Weak economic data out of Japan, South Korea and Europe put the focus back on international issues. US retailers report generally better-than-expected sales, while jobless claims remain flat.
Stocks slumped Thursday as global growth concerns took center stage again. U.S. retail data mostly topped expectations. Jobless claims were little changed, while personal income and spending ticked higher. Mostly, though, investors await Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke's speech Friday at a symposium at Jackson Hole, Wyo., where he may hint at more easing measures.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average ($INDU) was down 109 points at 12,998. The S&P 500 ($INX) was down 12 points at 1,399. The Nasdaq Composite ($COMPX) was down 33 points at 3,049.
US economic data
First-time jobless claims showed a faltering labor market as more Americans than forecast filed applications for unemployment benefits last week. Jobless claims were little changed at 374,000 in the week ended Aug. 25, well above the 370,000 economists had expected, according to Briefing.com.
More worrisome, the four-week moving average, a less volatile measure, climbed to a six-week high. Last week's figure was revised upward from 372,000 to 374,000.
On the other hand, consumer spending in the U.S. climbed in July for the first time in three months, albeit below expectations. Purchases increased by 0.4% after being little changed in June, the Commerce Department reported. Economists surveyed by Briefing.com had expected a gain of 0.5%. Incomes climbed by 0.3% for a third month.
In addition, inflation remained contained. The core PCE price index rose less than 0.1% in July, and the core PCE also rose less than 0.1%, indicating little inflationary threat in the U.S. economy.

Global growth concerns deepen
Global growth concerns were largely in focus. Asian shares closed sharply lower on weak data out of Japan and South Korea. Japan's retail activity turned negative in July, falling 0.8% from a year earlier for the first drop since November. In South Korea, confidence among manufacturers stayed near its lowest level since 2009.
Shares in Europe followed Asian markets lower after the European Commission said the eurozone economic sentiment indicator fell to a three-year low in August, well below economists' expectations. In Germany, the number of unemployed workers grew for a fifth month in a row, more than projected, although the unemployment rate remained the same.
With Europe and its debt crisis continuing to dominate the markets, traders also eagerly await the European Central Bank's next Governing Council meeting on Sept. 6. ECB President Mario Draghi, who canceled his attendance at Jackson Hole, is expected to give more details about the ECB's bond-buying plan, aimed to lower borrowing costs for struggling indebted eurozone nations and to help to kick-start growth in the region.
US retail sales
Same-store sales data are expected from several leading retailers, including Macy's (M), Target (TGT) and Kohl's (KSS). So far it seems many retailers have topped expectations, aided by back-to-school sales.
Home-furnishings retailer Pier 1 Imports (PIR) said same-store sales for the fiscal second quarter rose 6.7%, while total sales rose 8.3%.
Costco Wholesale (COST) and Limited Brands (LTD) both beat Wall Street's same-store sales expectations for August.
Stocks to watch
Sears Holdings (SHLD) shares retreated after the retailer got kicked out of the S&P 500 after 55 years. LyondellBasell (LYB) will join the index after the close of trading on Sept. 4.
Shares of Pandora Media (P) jumped after the Internet radio service reported after the close Wednesday a break-even second quarter that topped the 3 cents a share loss analysts had expected. Pandora also provided a stronger-than-expected third-quarter revenue forecast.
Barclays (BCS) named Antony Jenkins as the bank's new CEO Thursday morning. Jenkins currently leads Barclays retail and business banking business.
Citigroup (C) agreed to pay $590 million to settle a shareholder lawsuit accusing it of hiding tens of billions of dollars in toxic mortgage assets. Reuters reports this is one of the largest settlements stemming from the global financial crisis.
Johnson & Johnson's (JNJ) subsidiary Janssen Biotech received an exclusive global license to develop and commercialize a treatment for a form of cancer found in bone marrow from Danish biopharmaceutical company Genmab A/S. The deal could be worth up to $1.1 billion.
Asset manager Carlyle Group (CG) has reached an agreement to buy DuPont's (DD) DuPont Performance Coatings unit for $4.9 billion cash.

Yep. I think smart money will be buying pet food stocks. Purina is sure to repackage cat-food as "Elder-Chow".
Not an appetizing vision for the country to be regressing to an age of cat-food and coat hangers.
George Washington agreed that the original representation proposed during the Constitutional Convention (one representative for every 40,000) was inadequate and supported an alteration to reduce that number to 30,000. This was the only time that Washington pronounced an opinion on any of the actual issues debated during the entire convention.
Duffy and the Duck,
just wait until you see the debate with For-Biden and Ryan and you will realize who would be the best at becoming president if need be.
That alone speaks volume about a president who only pick jokers and run the show on his own.
What is our national debt today? When was the last budget passed?
Don't you see the Democrats are even afraid of their own numbers....
This country is way worse now than it was 4 years ago...
This is just the Wall Street carpetbaggers telling the FED that they want the QE2 now. Stocks drop before his speech, he relents and says there will be another round of stimulus, the FED prints more money, buys more Treasury bonds and all the wankers on wall street get to go home FAT, DUMB and HAPPY for the Labor Day weekend.
The rich get richer and the rest of us get to pound sand.
>>>Fact is ,when Regan reduced the capital gains taxes, treasury saw an increse in revenue due to increased investment activity.<<<
Yes, it did... but only in the short term. And the increase was not enough to cover the deficit that it created.
As far as inheritance tax, why shouldn't those sums be considered income? What did the heir do to earn that money/property? I'm sure that if I were bequeethed a viable asset, "buying" it for half of what it's worth seems like a sound business propostion.
Swagfan wrote,
"Help me out here. How will increasing income taxes on high earners, and reinstating the old inheritance tax rates (1 million exempt, over that 55% tax) on heirs of small business owners, leading to the sale of many small firms, lead to economic growth and get the economy moving forward? Anybody?"
The question so far is unanswered by anyone that can provide factual data to support such a policy.
Fact is ,when Regan reduced the capital gains taxes, treasury saw an increse in revenue due to increased investment activity. When Jimmy Carter left office our economy was in worse shape and interest rates in the double digits.
Increasing the inheritance tax will put many viable businesses out of business. Example; a family owned dairy farm that has been around for 40 years that was providing 50 or 60 full time jobs suddenly has to close down and liquidate. You see the man who built the farm up to a 4 million dollar operation that makes less than $100k a year profit suddenly died of a heart attack and his children don't have 2 million laying around to pay the tax man. Jr. has been working the farm with his dad all along and now he and the other workers are out of work.Jr. hopes the auction goes well enough so he can pay the tax bill and find a job when other farms are closing down.
The problem with our system is politics and politcans and the parties that play politics and
pick the politicans that we get to vote for.
From the time a party picks a person to run for office and they leave office they are controlled by
the party and the money they raise to get them elected and keep them elected. The more times
the are relected the worse it getrs.
We need term limits and a line item veto before any progress can be made with solving our
social and economic woes.
When are people going to wake up? Before the crash in 2008, the Dow was at about 14,000......and now we
are over 13,000.......so they are saying the economy is almost as good as it was before the crash? This
is all artificial , our spending is out of control, congress will only act on something if there is money to be
made under the table for them. Get out of the stock market while you still can and put your money in gold or
silver...........if you don't then in 6 months you will wish you did. FDIC is about broke, so if you think your going
to get dollar for dollar for any monies lost if your bank fails..........wishful thinking. ITs time Americans stand
together and take back America from the greedy politicians and also its time we get out of NAFTA and bring
our jobs back home. Do not vote for one politician running for re-election, we need new leadership and
over and see how much worse they can make things. <<<
Whoever gets elected POTUS in the fall will claim that their "leadership" sucessfully "turned the economy around" in the years to follow. The fact is that the economy will turn itself around as this is the nature of business cycles in capitalist systems. It's also the nature of politics to make claim about things for which they had little do.
Romney claims that he was a sucess as a governor. But look at the period when he was governor: 2002-2006, when the economy in general was being fueled by an artificial bubble in realestate. He happened to be in the right place at the right time, nothing more, and got out before before everything went south.
Likewise, Obama happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. I doubt that any president could have dealt with the downturn with any more success. Capitalist economies can be a stubborn thing sometimes.
"Unemployment has doubled since Obama been on the Capitol Hill. There are so many people unable to file a claim because they have not worked long enough to re-file."
Obama? Career politicians in Congress were on the job during the good times, gave themselves raises and were there during Dubya's terms as big business terminated 40 million careers while giving themselves raises. Since the President took Office, career politicians in Congress formed the Party of NO with both Republican and Tea Party members and have blocked EVERY piece of legislation written to help America and Americans. Rant your asss off but America knows that the GOP has to get voted OUT this Fall and not to compromise that with a GOP puppet in the White House.

I was gonna come in to recommend any ASUS laptop. I love ASUS as a brand. They have never failed me.
So my desktop is about to shit the bed. I have replaced the hard drive, the video card, the ethernet adapter, and the power supply, but I think the motherboard is finally about to kick it.
I need to be able to effectively run autoCAD as well as sketchup and photoshop for work. I'll need a decent amount of RAM and a decent video card as well. Does anyone have any recommendations for a quality laptop? I saw an ASUS at best buy that had some impressive specs, but 1200 seemed a bit steep. Since my autoCAD is PC only, that eliminates any Macbooks from competition.
I was gonna come in to recommend any ASUS laptop. I love ASUS as a brand. They have never failed me.
I don't have any experience with Asus notebooks, but I like their motherboard.
I like the HP Probook and Elitebook lineups
I use a Lenovo Thinkpad E520
Just bought my wife a new laptop on Thursday. The best deals I have found are at Circuit City. Also, coupons out there for $20 off and free shipping on top of the $80 rebate and instant $200 off.
Intel i5, 8gb RAM, 640g HD and Blue Ray player - $500 - Samsung
If you can wait a few months, Apple should be releasing new Macbook Pros in May/June. This could drive the prices down for all competing laptops, so you may be able to find really good deals.

I also have an Asus, hasn't let me down so far.
IMHO Apple make the best laptops these days and with Boot Camp the run windows just fine. Not the cheapest option (more so when you add the cost of a windows license) but it's a good one if your looking for a quality solution

Apple Facts:
1. Tassie was once promoted as The Apple Isle.
2. Apples are also known as Tasmanian Easter Eggs. Ok I made that one up.
3. This pic shows the surviving two of only four apples to grow on our small tree this year. (We lost two early on to overexcited dogs chasing a ball.)
4. *These* apples were growing for months but were still not much bigger than Tiny. On Saturday when I took this shot I decided to give them a little longer on the tree.
5. Last night a possum plundered the tree.
Goodbye Easter Long Weekend. RIP Tasmanian Easter Eggs.

Our beloved grandfather, Poppy Sol, started this business in an open-air market. Three generations later, we're still bringing smiles to our customers' faces.
Dark Chocolate Covered Marzipan
Certified: Kosher
Dark chocolate covered marzipan - smooth and creamy marzipan smothered in delicious dark chocolate.
Marzipan is a delicate combination of almonds and sugar dating back to medieval times (you'll often find it as icing on cakes or in the shape of fruit confections.) Marzipan on its own is wonderful, with its unique taste, but we didn't want to stop there. Throw in a little dark chocolate and you'll be in heaven with dark chocolate covered marzipan.
This contains 60% cocoa.

Mo, richmond, TX March 29, 2013
"I was pleased that there was a confirmation email to notify me the order was delivered, and the packaging is very creative.
However as I tried my first chocolate covered marzipan, I could not believe how rich and tasty it was. I am supposed to give a bag to my family, but it will be tough."
Stormy, Shingle Springs, Ca February 17, 2013
"First off super fast shipping!! I ordered 2lbs coconut macaroons and 1lb dark chocolate covered marzipan and they were absolutely delicious. So I went and ordered more stuff and I can not wait to try them! "
Alan, Cerritos, California January 15, 2013
"I just received my second shipment from Nuts.com. Very pleased and will be ordering something else this week. I have tried the old time candy that they have and just now chocolate covered expresso beans and chocolate covered marzipan...both Delish!!! VERY HAPPY...I will be trying some fresh nuts next! Great products and great delivery!"
Stacey C, Iselin, NJ January 7, 2013
"Your chocolate-covered marzipan is good enough to fight over. I hid it from my daughter because I wanted it for myself. She found it, then hid it from ME because she wanted it all for HERself! Now I am ordering two more (one for her, one for me). Crisis averted...for now. Thank goodness your delivery is really fast.
Stacey Connelly, Iselin, NJ"
Jean, San Angelo, Texas November 29, 2012
"Dear Uncle Sandy, Cousin David, Dad, and Jeffrey,
Your Hip hip hooray is exactly correct for me ('cause I'm from Wembley, England!) Now, Marzipan is a special treat for me; however, the dark chocolate-dipped delicacies that we just sampled five minutes ago were absolutely grand!!!. I'd just like to say that your packaging was fabulous as well - how could you not like a box with pictures and happy words?!!!!
My husband told the galactic delivery-guy (aka FedEx), that your box was a special bunch of goodies, and goodies they are!!! You're right,,, the taste was (is!) smashing and we are very pleased. Glad we requested the "warm weather" packaging, 'cause it was almost 80 degrees when the package got here (and it got here just fine). Also thanks for the free gift. Figs!!!! (wasn't that Mr. Newton's first name, "Fig"? We appreciate you guys and we wish you well in the future.
Thanks for the product, thanks for the customer service, and thanks for the email!!!
Best Wishes,
Nutty Jean (and my husband "Drooly Tom")
charlotte , norco, lousiana November 21, 2012
"I left a gargantuan rave on Facebook, but, what the heck , it was so delicious that it's worth mentioning again. The ginger candy was soooo good and not too strong, I will definitely keep buying this for the rest of my life! the dk choc covered pecans were very good ( I have the sugar hangover to prove it) and the dk choc marzipan didn't last long, one pound bag it seems cannot satisfy 3 kids and 3 adults. I hope you have a lot more to send us. thanks for adding LOVE to your recipes
allison Windham, Ripley, MS November 21, 2012
"I love the Marzipan. My first time to ever try it and it's delicious. Quick delivery and great packaging. Thank you."
Lynn, Manassas, VA October 27, 2012
"I had been craving chocolate covered marzipan and found the perfect solution on Nuts.com. Will be reordering soon!"
Lauren, Bowling Green, KY October 21, 2012
"Ah, almonds! Oh, and apricots! And, everything good and yummy!
After yoga one day, a co-stretcher said she got all of her cool healthy stuff from nuts.com. I went online and found the healthy stuff AND the fun stuff! Dark chocolate marzipan? Oh yes! Crystallized ginger? One pound please! I'm now building my third order and I've already got two more nuts addicted to your great service, shipping and humor! "
Samantha, Fairmont, WV July 11, 2012
"Great as always. The soybeans were fresh and made great homemade soymilk! The chocolate covered marzipan was fresh and better than the usual small bar I buy. Did I mention the chocolate marzipan was delicious? Lol Keep it up nuts. Com!"

LANSING, Mich. -- Legislation to cut off unemployment benefits for people who do illegal drugs could take another step forward in Lansing.The state Senate on Thursday is expected to vote to disqualify people from receiving jobless benefits if they fail a drug test required by a prospective employer.Employers would not be mandated to report when job applicants fail drug tests. But if they do provide the information to the state, job applicants not hired because of a failed drug test would lose their benefits.Recipients also would be cut off if employers report that they refused to take a drug test.The bill already has passed the House. It's part of a broader package of legislation dealing with unemployment insurance fraud.

Making the Most Out of What You're Already Doing
AbstractThe scholarship of teaching and learning entails systematic reflection and analysis of aspects of teaching or teaching methods and their impact on student learning. When effective teaching methods can be identified and replicated by others, scholarship shared through publication has the potential to enhance teaching and learning on a wider scale. Whether it is analysis of a small aspect of a single course or a complete overhaul of the course structure or method of delivery, the scholarship of teaching and learning has the potential to significantly impact higher education. This paper outlines five scholarship of teaching and learning projects undertaken during this author's career.

The answer is: Not really.
As Richard Barley at WSJ's Heart On The Street notes, the real "widowmaker" is shorting Japanese Government Bonds. That's the big kahuna trade that folks for years have been expecting will one day create some trader untold fortunes. You know the theory: Japanese government debt is over 200% of GDP, and one way those bonds will explode in the Keynesian endgame.
Sure, some traders have made a lot of money on the decline in the yen, but the Nikkei has been on a tear, and this isn't actually the hallmark of an economy going into a watershed collapse.
And in the meantime, Japanese bond yields have been pretty flat.
So remember, for all the talk about the big turn in Japan, the core idea that people have had for a long time still hasn't come to fruition.

SPOKANE-- According to the Spokane Police Department both Chief Anne Kirkpatrick and Assistant Chief Jim Nicks have plans to retire within the next year.
Spokane's Chief of Police Anne Kirkpatrick has been clear she only intended to spend five years in Spokane.
Kirkpatrick's five-year anniversary was this month. In April she had conversations with Mayor Mary Verner about finding a replacement starting in early 2012.
Officials say Kirkpatrick and Nicks have expressed interest in helping city leaders during the search for the next chief.
Nicks has served Spokane for 30 years and is at retirement age.
Nicks will also be testifying in the Karl Thompson trial for the beating death of Otto Zehm this October. Nicks was acting chief at the time of the incident in 2006.
Nicks changed from initially defending Thompson to now testifying for the prosecution against Thompson. The trial starts next month.
He declined to talk to reporters today about his retirement.
The city will begin a regional and possible nationwide search for a new chief. The process may take six to nine months.

Should You Tip Your Acupuncturist?
Posted - 02/02/2012
Most people tip their hair dresser or waitress, but other tipping protocol is confusing. One important service is natural medicine. More people are choosing healthy, natural healing techniques such as acupuncture. Is it important to tip acupuncturists? When making the decision about tipping, it is important to consider a few factors. Tips are typically reserved for service personnel, such as waiters or beauty specialists. Some hobby acupuncturists work in venues that may seem similar to these other services, suggesting they should receive a tip. However, experts recommend that those interested in acupuncture services visit a professional clinic for their needs.
Those that have visited a professional acupuncture clinic recognize that this alternative form of medicine is no different from visiting a doctor or nurse. Since no one tips these health professionals, it is not appropriate to tip an acupuncturist. Although tips may be out, it is still appropriate to show appreciation for an effective acupuncturist. Many clients choose to send holiday cards to show their appreciation for these natural healers. Others send gift baskets or thank you cards to let their acupuncturist know how much they are valued. Appreciation does not need to be monetary, and acupuncturists enjoy this recognition.
