Right now indices who have what is there.
The great actor Paul -- Do you -- your calls are being good this out of Los Angeles.
I recognized by.
By Italy right right hopefuls are -- Well I'm I'm I'm in night of the Italian the daughter of the -- insists -- -- by Saint George chemical company had a digital -- -- -- are very well I Neil Moses and added there will probably middle -- -- So are optimistic that -- will be fine my senior a couple of those Akamai said -- before we go further.
That you are my brother doctor Ronald Sorvino -- favorite broadcaster.
He has impeccable taste.
I -- I don't tell us Sears says.
At what things I do look at and I would let you -- spoke out and said look.
We do the rich among us have an obligation to pay more you weren't afraid about it you didn't you know sort of with a -- -- value said that looked.
Guys like you know you done very very well you've done extremely well you have a great career.
But there are many who -- just as wealthy.
As you say well wait a minute I already we already did as a group.
Quite a bit of money how much more do you want from us.
Well they're -- that's that's.
Well I think it's going.
The fact of the matter is that if the guy's making ten million dollars a year and is paying two million in taxes he can pay another million it won't.
He still have that those -- -- a little less expensive yacht.
-- -- -- We are at a time when that tax increase as -- by the opinions of a lot of very wealthy man and America.
Is the only way to go it's a very good idea -- -- -- For.
You know what troubles me about doesn't call.
But -- -- what troubles me about it is this that it's a slippery slope right.
That there's a wide gap within the 1% between guys like you who are very very rich and and then the lower end of that spectrum maybe not -- -- And they do -- -- to the taxes anyway and nothing is said of the fifty plus percent of Americans.
Who -- only got -- -- -- now by the way some of them genuinely might not be able to put 50%.
I mean c'mon.
50% is the you'll would you say should be paid out not not saying 50%.
But taxes -- not -- -- I -- -- -- Romney Mitt Romney is thought Romney but taken against.
I don't know what -- -- -- do you think.
It is fair to argue the rich pay more -- 50%.
Pay no income taxes in this country -- I -- think it's fair I don't think it's that I don't think you should put on that level I think it's just fair.
Clinton rather than to involve ourselves in a semantic distinction.
Let's just say what's fair is fair and people would more money should pay a little more than I have to give half of their income up I'm not saying that.
But they should pay -- there's no question about it.
That in my mind you left but you're sir Paul so you know what you're talking about Akamai and and and and I don't know I know what I'm talking about.
But let's listen to what they get that that you're -- you're ignoring the Hampton aren't paying any got -- you're saying you're OK well let me know of among the floor.
Among the poor among the rich are.
Gotta call 50% of us -- It's 50%.
No but that it -- people are paying income tax have people who are hiding their money where people who -- very poor.
So I don't know what exactly what you mean by that but I think it's it's an argument that isn't necessarily going to be settled here but my opinion is rich -- to pay more money.
My other prison is that they shouldn't -- -- The my other opinions you shouldn't get a doctoring obviously -- -- old actor.
To come on and expresses vulgarity.
And his -- -- by putting her throat cutting gestures aimed towards Barack Obama.
I think that was an extraordinarily poor taste.
It was an egregious error and do you immediately who whoever put that idea and -- -- should have been fired.
Who it's -- that I think frankly me for quite awhile -- clinically so yes I'm the anti.
You don't take dead he's served his candidate well.
Oh not a total.
I thought -- -- you debase the convention.
If he did -- -- being heard it here called for Barack Obama you'd say the same thing.
His performance.
Take the politics out of it was nasty.
Daughter -- mean spirited.
And extremely ill advised.
He should stay home now he's old enough to stay on.
All right so.
I'm gonna put you down -- if the young Clint eastwood's.
Oh yeah -- ms.
Smart I guess you get -- toward the ball drops right.
Live well they had these a lot of people is that what you said and and then a lot of people -- -- but also been a very good having you thank you very much thank you.

So You Think You Know Bangor?
More than a few people — including a surprising number of Mainers — labor under some misperceptions about the city on the Penobs
Photograph by Lawrence Whittemore
Space Race
It's a bird, it's a plane, it's a space shuttle? Well, NASA never actually had to land any of their shuttles at Bangor International Airport, but they did keep the airport on the list of potential landing strips, should the space-age bird need someplace other than Cape Canaveral or California to set down. BIA's 11,439-foot-long runway (yes, that's more than two miles of straight pavement) was built in 1958 when the airstrip was Dow Air Force Base, and became the longest landing strip east of the Mississippi. It has proven helpful in getting everything from those giant B-52 Stratofortresses to chartered passenger flights full of American troops off the ground and onto Desert Storm, Iraq, and Afghanistan. The airport has also proven to be a vital air link for northern Maine, with Delta, US Airways, and the discount carrier Allegiant Air all providing regular service.
King Country
Stephen King gets all his inspiration from the zombies that roam the alleyways and cemeteries of Bangor, right? Wrong. Any fan of the master of horror knows that he has always gleaned his material from wherever he happens to find it. But King is without doubt the city's most famous resident, and reminders of him (and his work) can be found all over the thirty-five-square-mile city. The wrought-iron fence on West Broadway is an obvious sign that you've reached the King homestead (unfortunately, too many deranged fans recognize it, too), but other landmarks that point out you're in King country include the Thomas Hill Standpipe (which figures prominently in IT) and Mount Hope Cemetery (Pet Sematary).
Paul Bunyan — Bangorite?
Hey, there's a thirty-two-foot-tall statue of the giant lumberjack across the street from Hollywood Slots, so in some sense there's no disputing that big Paul hails from Bangor. Yes, the exploits of Bunyan and his blue ox, Babe (where's her statue?), were actually the creations of copywriters for the Red River Lumber Company, of Westwood, California. But those writers used the legends of a giant bearded lumberjack, whose wanderings ranged from Ottawa to nearby Quebec, as the basis for their own tall tales. And sure, other states, including Minnesota and Michigan, claim they are home to Bunyan's actual birthplace, but wouldn't you think that the lumber capital of the world would be home to a giant logger? Artist Normand Martin thought so back in 1959 when he designed and built the statue as a way to publicize the city's 125th anniversary. Perhaps we'll find out the truth about Bunayn's origins on February 12, 2084 — that's when the time capsule encased in the big guy's pedestal is due to be split open.
Queen for a Day
Of all the nicknames given to Maine cities, Bangor's title of "The Queen City" is perhaps the most surprising — and misunderstood. While we would love to believe that Victoria Regina's procession rolled down Hammond Street at some point (it didn't), in fact the name comes from the writings of Charles P. Roberts, an early resident who was describing the creation of the city's government in 1834. "The town came forth like a star in the forehead of the morning as the Queen City of the East," Roberts wrote. The name stuck as the city's fortunes rose with the lumber boom, and even today is used to reflect Bangor's renewed sense of pride.
Head Count
Compared to many communities in northern Maine, Bangor really is the big city — and yet its population of 33,039 would barely qualify it as a neighborhood in most places in America. Even by Maine metro standards it's still dwarfed by its siblings to the south: Portland (66,194) or Lewiston-Auburn (59,647). But it wasn't always so. In the first half of the nineteenth century, during the height of Bangor's lumber boom, the Queen City was Maine's second-largest metropolis, boasting more than 14,000 souls in 1850. The impact of the Civil War, growth of the railroad, and rise of textile industry elsewhere in the state spelled the end of Bangor's No. 2 spot, as by 1880 Lewiston's 19,083 people had eclipsed Bangor's 16,856. Though the city would see a small population boom in the early 1960s, its growth has been modest ever since — and that's just fine with most of the people who live here today.
Lumber Capital of the World
These days some towns' claims to fame can seem a bit far-fetched (who really cares how big your ball of twine is?), but in the nineteenth century, Bangor's claim to the title of "Lumber Capital of the World" carried some weight, literally. In 1872 more than 229 million board feet of lumber were shipped from the city at the head of the Penobscot, and no port anywhere in the world could rival its output. To handle the supply, every day up to thirty schooners and other sailing ships, most of them well over a hundred feet-long, would finish loading and ride the tide downstream to Penobscot Bay and points as near as Boston and as far away as the Caribbean and California. The joke at the time was that you could walk from deck to deck between Bangor and Brewer — and never get your feet wet. According to Trudy Irene Scee's City on the Penobscot (published by the History Press), by one estimate enough lumber had been cut in the Maine woods and shipped through Bangor by 1899 to encircle the globe sixty-seven times!
Devilish Area
Stephen King's hometown seems like just the place for a neighborhood with a name like the Devil's Half Acre, but this moniker was actually coined a full century before the master of horror was even born. In actuality a half-square-mile section of the city between Union and Main streets and the waterfront, the neighborhood got its name from the taverns and brothels that sprang up in the first half of the nineteenth century to support the waves of sailors coming up the Penobscot. And while this was hardly a quarter for the delicate, its business owners prided themselves on maintaining a sense of dignity and order. Even as one brothel owner outlined the rules of her establishment — "no fighting, no nastiness in my place, and no offensive language, either, not counting swearing" — she made no bones about the quality of the services she provided. "A man can spend a winter's pay in my place in twenty-four hours and get his money's worth, if he's man enough," boasted madam "Ma" Hogan.

October 2013, The Center For Development
This article
has to do with a peculiar quality of human beings. It is that we are polarized, or directional in nature. This means that the electrical charge
or etheric charge of a person must be in a certain way, or the body simply does
not function well. If the charge
is reversed for some reason, the person is said to be "upside down" in his or
her thinking, feeling and even bodily functions. This eventually leads to an early death.
This article
also has to do with moving a certain type of subtle energy through the body for
the purpose of healing a mental development. This energy may be called etheric
energy, described in a separate article. It goes by many other names such as chi, qi, vital force,
orgone energy, zero point energy and other names. It enters our bodies at certain predetermined points and
flows through and around the human body at all times, or we cease to be
alive. Learning about it is
critical if one is to live a long and healthy life today, since the planet is
so polluted that even the best food and the best water may not be enough to
sustain one.
Directionality is the key. A secret means of enhancing the amount
of etheric energy is to move the energy through the body by some means - with
the mind or some other way – in a particular direction. I do not know why this works, but it
does. One must move the energy
through the body from the head to the feet.
What is the direction of flow that is
needed? The direction is from the head down to the feet. It is actually a circular motion down
the front of the body and up the back of the body, but the hard part is
generally downward, down the front of the body at all times. When one can do this, it generally
flows up the back easily and silently without a need for any effort expended at
Therefore, I
will refer to the direction of motion as downward motion in this article, although it is not necessarily
downward only, and it is not strictly downward if one is lying down, for
example. In this case, the motion
is parallel to the earth, not downward.
However, it is downward from the head to the feet at all times.
Linguistic aspects of directionality. The idea
that downward motion is healthful and life-giving is known on earth. In fact, it has found its way into the
common language of most nations.
For example, when a person is out of sorts, we may say one is upset, uptight,
or mixed up. Other slang words in common English
usage are uppity,
up, messed up, knocked up and
many more similar expressions. We
may say one is
up to no good. These phrases may
have a deeper meaning, in that they refer to an upward flow or movement of
energy that some people can feel in their bodies.
In contrast,
when a person is more relaxed and happy, the English language and other
languages contain phrases such as calmed down, slowed down, settled down, down to
earth, and others. Again, this
may refer to a movement of energy that some people can feel. Clearly not all of the language
reflects this idea. One may speak
of an "upstanding" citizen, and when sad or ill, we say a person is feeling
"down". So it is not a universal
reference in the language of English, but it is to be noted.
These slang
or common phrases in English and in other languages refer to energy moving up
or down the front of the human body.
Once again, the ideal motion is down the front and up the back of the
Ancient references to this flow of
energy. In
some yoga books, this exact same flow of energy is called the macrocosmic
orbit or the microcosmic
orbit, depending on exactly where it flows. It is the basic circulation of the chi or vital force.
The word in
Chinese traditional medicine that was used for the movement of energy to
increase one's power and force is sung, meaning downward. In Jin Shin Jyutsu, an ancient Japanese
healing method somewhat similar to acupressure or acupuncture, the flow of
energy is also recommended as down the front, up the back. The same is true in acupuncture as
well. In Dragon And Tiger chi
kung, and others, there is also a reference to the fact that the movement of
energy is down the front of the body and up the back of the body.
Symptoms of energy flowing upwards
instead of downwards. Upward flowing
vital force or chi causes every conceivable symptom from panic attacks to
heartburn or GERD (gastro-esophageal reflux disease). Other important mental/emotional symptoms are spaciness or a
floaty, ungrounded appearance or behavior, unsteadiness, lack of
self-confidence, and low self-esteem.
prominent physical symptoms include a tendency for all yin conditions (which includes many health
conditions) and even osteoporosis because there is not sufficient psychological
and even physical "weight" moving downward in the body. This one is hard to explain, but it
appears true from our research.
In some
cases, the improper direction of etheric energy flow is somewhat less critical
for healing. However, in others,
the upward flow is the dominant theme of a person's life that must be corrected
for health to return.
Men and women and the etheric direction
of flow. Men usually are more grounded, and the
direction of etheric flow is usually more downward. However, in the past it was the opposite, with women more
grounded and downward-moving. This
has shifted today as women have entered the workplace and are expected to work
outside of the home. This has
harmed the women, who now have more difficulty grounding themselves.
possible reasons why women are less grounded today has to do with their higher
copper levels and somewhat lower zinc levels. The problem of lack of grounding and upward flow of etheric
energy especially affects women who are superficially oriented, wear sexy
clothing, wear high heels, for example, and are overly concerned with their
Sex and the direction of etheric flow. Unfortunately, most sexual activity
moves etheric energy upward. Those
who engage in more sexual contact are thus always in worse shape in this
regard. Even thinking about sex,
reading sexually-oriented material, sexual humor, or the use of pornography,
masturbation, watching sexually explicit movies and other sexually-related past
times all tend to move the etheric energy upward.
this need not be. There is a way
of using sex to actually move the energy downward. For more on this interesting topic, read Couples Development on this website.
Breathing and
the direction of energy flow.
How you breathe can also affect the direction of energy flow in the
body. Breathing properly can make
a difference in the way energy moves in the body. For more on this, read Breathing
Properly For Optimum Health.
Effect of downward movement on the
energetic centers of the human body.
Moving the energy downward with the mind or with some other method acts
in a very special way. It appears
to spin the subtle energy centers in the correct direction. It also seems to balance all the
centers so that they spin more evenly and in a more coordinated way. It also helps them to spin much faster,
which is very beneficial. This is
one way downward etheric energy heals the body.
After a
time, downward motion causes all of the energy centers throughout the body to
spin much faster, in the right direction, in synchronicity with each other, and
in a more balanced and even way.
This is truly quite a feat.
Other effects of moving the energy
downward - the battery analogy. This has to do with how the human body
is constructed and lives in space.
While it is not generally known, the human body is somewhat like a
battery in which the head is positively charged and the feet are more negatively
charged. In addition, each cell is
charged in this way, in this direction.
The etheric charge (it is not exactly the same as an electrical charge)
is inside, and around each cell of the body.
energy downward actually recharges the body, somewhat like recharging a weak or
discharging battery. Normally, as
we age, our "battery" begins to run down.
As this occurs, signs and symptoms of aging, disease and finally death
appear. Moving etheric energy
downward has a rejuvenating effect, like recharging your basic battery or
electrical system. Practiced often
enough, I am told it can actually allow a person to live much longer than
The magnet analogy. The charge
also has qualities like a magnet, in that the charges of each cells are
additive. This means that when
placed together in space, or in certain arrangements, they enhance one another,
provided the charge is in the same general direction.
This is
exactly how magnetism works. If
the iron atoms of a iron or steel are all lined up the same way, a strong
magnetic field is created. The
metal is then called a magnet. If,
however, the iron atoms are arranged randomly, no magnetism is measurable
because the magnetic effects of the random individual iron atoms cancel each
other out.
In a similar
fashion, if all the cells are "magnetized", "charged" or "lined up" in a
similar direction, then one's health improves, often in dramatic ways. If the cellular charges or sort-of
magnetism is random, this effect is not present and one's health will
eventually suffer. Even worse is
to have the etheric particles all lined up in an upward direction, positive to
negative. This causes even worse
health, fears, and eventually death of the body in every case, I am told.
difference between the etheric energy and electricity or magnetism is that the
latter two are much more easily measured.
The etheric energy is not quite electrical, so it is harder to measure
accurately, although a simple electrical meter may, at times, register a small
charge or voltage in the millivolt range.
A personal experience with this idea. I noticed
that when I meditated using the Roy Masters exercise, I could feel a mild
tingling in my right hand, somewhat like an electrical current flow. So I asked an electrical scientist to
measure the electrical potential on my body between the head and the right
hand. As I started to do the Roy
Masters meditation with the modification discussed later on in this article, it
generated a small electrical potential in a sensitive volt-ohm meter.
Exercise #1. The Roy Masters Concentration
The Roy
Masters exercise is described in the article entitled The
Observation Exercise on this website.
However, an essential modification, for the purposes of this article, is
to forcefully send or draw energy downward from the head to the right
hand. Later, one can send it
directly into the feet and even below the feet while doing the exercise. This modification basically uses your
mind to move the etheric energy downward.
It is the main reason this exercise is recommended, and not others. Other reasons are its safety, the
ability to do it at home by oneself without supervision, and because it is so
centering and grounding.
This is an
ancient form of concentration that Roy Masters stumbled upon, as he explains
it. It works better than any other
mental exercise available today that I have seen. I am aware of most Oriental meditations, self-hypnosis,
visualizations, etc. All of these
have merit, but they do not do the same thing. This is most important to know.
I learned,
quite by accident about 30 years ago, that I could heal myself of serious
illness this way. So I just kept
doing it, and I continue doing it to this day – and I recommend it to
Modifying the exercise. By modifying the Roy Masters exercise
slightly, even more downward force can be accumulated or built up in and around
the body. The modification is
first, be sure to move the energy with the mind downward from the head area to
the right hand. Do not try to have
the right hand float upward, as Roy Masters mentions on some of his tapes or
Later, one
can become proficient at moving the energy downward from the head not only to
the right hand, but to both hands and down into both feet and legs. These modifications, when done
forcefully and repeatedly every day, will dramatically enhance the
downward-moving energetic effect.
You can do
this version of the exercise while sitting, ideally, lying down, or even while
doing a coffee enema. I have done
it in the sauna, or even while walking very slowly on a quiet, straight street
with few distractions.
For best
effect, I find one must do the exercise for at least 30 minutes at a time, and it
is best to do it for an hour or more time than this. I have found that it can be difficult, at first, to move the
energy downward. After a few
minutes to a half an hour, and as one relaxes into the procedure, it becomes
easier. Also, at first the mind
will often be very distracted.
This becomes less of a problem as time goes on with practice.
Exercise 2. Down
This is a
powerful breathing method sometimes called toe breathing or circle
breathing. To do it, one begins by
breathing from the toes or even beneath the feet. Never move your mind further upward than your toes. It is not possible to "breathe down" on
the inhale, but you can keep your focus on your toes, and never allow your body
or mind to move upward.
As you
inhale, open each bone and vertebra, starting with the feet, ankles, knees, hip
joints, and then open up each disc space between each vertebra, moving up the
spine – never down the spine.
As you
exhale, powerfully move the air downward toward your toes or beneath your feet.
This may
seem overly simple. It is quite
simple, but it will move energy downward and keep moving energy downward on the
inhale and on the exhale if you do it correctly, and is a powerful exercise. You could do the Roy Masters exercise
at the same time, if you can and want to.
Among the
many benefits are:
Causes all the energy centers to open or grow larger, and to
spin in the correct direction and in a synchronous and balanced way.
This, in turn, activates the organs and tissues in a unique
way that furthers their health, growth and regeneration.
This can
extend life and improve health in unusual ways, since the etheric energy can
replace some of the body cells with a more hardy type of cellular
material. It replaces the
cytoplasm of the cell to some degree, apparently.
The downward
flow has many other benefits such as physical and psychological grounding and
centering. These are discussed in
detail in the Meditation article, so I will not repeat them here.
Spinning and
balancing the seven major energy centers opens the door, so to speak, for even
more advanced mental and other development of the body and unfoldment of higher
skills or abilities.
1. Sleep and rest. More sleep
and rest is critical to enjoy the benefits of the etheric energy. Try to go to bed by 9 PM at the latest
and sleep 10 hours or more each night.
Also, sleep with you head to the north if you live in the northern
hemisphere, and with your head to the south if you live in the southern
hemisphere. It does not have to be
exactly north-south, but the closer the better. The reason for this is explained below.
2. Keeping the body in an extended
position. If possible,
keep the body in an open and extended position such as standing, sitting in a
recliner type of chair with the feet extended out, or laying down. Positions that are not as good for the
flow of the etheric energy are sleeping on one's side with the legs pulled up
tight in a fetal position, and sitting with the legs crossed or pulled up
tightly. These positions restrict
the flow of the etheric energy through the body to some degree.
3. Make use of open water. Open water is a type of ultra-distilled water that has a
more open bond angle between the hydrogen atoms of the water. Placing a few drops in a glass of
water, or about two to three ounces in a gallon jug of pure water, slightly alters
the molecular structure of the entire amount of water it is placed within. This can help move the etheric energy
through the body more easily as well.
Placing a
bottle of open water at the foot of your bed while you sleep, about 6-12 inches
from the feet, will also greatly enhance the etheric downward flow in the body
as one rests or sleeps. A bottle
of it can even be placed at the feet during the day if you sit at a desk, for
example, for hours each day. For
much more on this interesting subject, read Open
Water on this website.
4. Do daily coffee enemas. This procedures seems to help focus more
energy on the lower part of the body and helps move the energy out of the
head. Moving it out of the head is
the first step in moving it down the body. Most people never move much of the energy out of the head,
for which reason their body suffers and becomes ill, and their mind never
becomes very focused and clear.
Animals, by contrast, have far more balanced energy in the body and do
not accumulate it in the head, which is harmful.
5. Use a near infrared lamp sauna,
and no other type. This works
because it, too, tends to relax the mind, and draw the chi or etheric energy
down from the head to the feet.
All of the mechanisms of action of this sauna are not clear to me, but
the warmth and the particular frequencies of the rays seem to have this
Part of the
effect is due to inhibiting the sympathetic nervous system. Too much activity of this system tends
to pool the blood in the center of the body and sends too much to the head, as
well. Another reason is the
reddish color of the lamps tends to activate the lower energy center of the
body, moving more energy out of the head.
A third reason is that sitting quietly in a closed space with no
stimulation relaxes the mind and body, and helps one to move the etheric energy
possible mechanism is that the reddish heat lamps emit a frequency in the near
infrared range that actually thins the density of the body, making it easier
for the etheric energy to flow through the body. In fact, just removing toxic metals from the body has this
same effect. This is also one
reason the open water is helpful, as it, too, appears to reduce the density or
denseness of the physical body, allowing more etheric energy to flow through
6. Breathe more oxygen. One of the
elements that is most receptive to the etheric energy is oxygen. Singlet oxygen is harmful, but O2, the
gas we breathe, is helpful. O3 or
ozone is also very helpful, even though some health authorities believe it is
not healthful because it is found in higher concentrations in polluted cities.
To breathe
more oxygen, you may practice relaxation, deep breathing and living in a rural
area or forested area with a higher oxygen content of the air. An even simpler way to breathe more
oxygen is with a common ozonator/ionizer air purifier. I am offering one of these units at a
low price that works excellently.
For this, go to Buy
An Ozonator/Ionizer.
These units, especially when placed in the bedroom, will add some oxygen
to the air in a very healthful manner.
Do not listen to the idea that doing this is harmful. One need not turn the machine all the
way up for the effect. In fact, turning
it up all the way may produce too much ozone that is, indeed, a little
irritating, though not that harmful.
Ozone in the
air of polluted cities is a response of nature and not as healthful. It is there to counteract pollution,
mainly, and not to enhance the oxygen content of the air. Cities generally have a lower oxygen
content due to industrial pollution and auto emissions.
7. Living at higher altitudes in drier
climates seems to be somewhat helpful, for some reason.
8. Some tai chi walking practices. These are very ancient healing methods
that are quite simply, yet helpful, providing that the goal remains to simply
move energy downward from the head to the feet. Examples of such exercises include:
a. Imagine you
weigh 1000 pounds so each step you take send a tremendous force or energy
downward into the earth.
b. Imagine
that with each step you send your feet deep into the earth.
c. Speak the
word 'down' or sung (down in Chinese) as you place each foot on the ground in
front of you.
d. Feel your
feet sink into the soft earth with each step.
e. Imagine
you have large suction cups under each foot. As you take each step, imagine
squeezing the air out of the suction cup, pushing it hard downward to remove
the air.
f. Imagine
your feet are like tiger paws that spread out and send energy downward as they
touch the ground. You can watch
cats and tigers actually do this with each step that they take.
9. Inhibit your sympathetic nervous
system. This is critical, in fact, because one
effect of activity of the sympathetic nervous system is to send energy upward
toward your head. Inhibiting this
system involves relaxing the brain and body, reducing all stress, eating
properly, getting plenty of rest, and taking certain nutritional
supplements. Other techniques can
help, as well. These are described
in a separate article entitled Autonomic
Nervous System Health.
movement also has to do with the direction of etheric energy flow within and
around planet earth. This, in
fact, is what gives rise to the Van Allen radiation belts, gravity, solar
winds, at times, and many other curious phenomena.
Gravity. For
example, the "flow" of etheric around the earth moves toward the center of the
planet, and it pulls everything with it, creating what is called gravity. In fact, it is nothing more than just
an effect of the etheric flow around the planet. Escape from the planet and you don't have this flow or
current of life moving you toward the center of the earth.
Polar flow. A much
milder or lesser force that some people feel, nevertheless, is an etheric
"flow" or directional movement from the magnetic poles of the earth toward the
equator. This phenomenon gives
rise to other electromagnetic fields and other interesting phenomena known in
physics and earth sciences.
A simple,
but effective way to take advantage of this flow is to sleep with your head
facing toward the pole nearest you (either north or south pole). So if you are in the northern
hemisphere, you would move your bed so your head is to the north and feet
toward the south. This will
enhance your etheric flow through the body. In contrast, sleeping with your head to the south in the northern
hemisphere or to the north in the southern hemisphere opposes the natural flow
of etheric energy through the human body and is somewhat less healthful.
You can even
enhance the flow during the day by aligning your desk at work to have your body
face the equator of the earth. For
example, if you live in the northern hemisphere, you would face south as much
as possible.
Altitude and dryness. For similar reasons, it is somewhat
better to be at an altitude of about 6000-9000 feet or even more. At sea level, or near it, the etheric
flow is disorganized as it encounters other forces rising from the core of the
earth. This is less the case if
one is at a higher altitude. Once
a person is fairly developed, this no longer matters as much, I am told.
A dry
climate also seems to assist the etheric flow in some way. Perhaps water molecules in the air
affect the quality of the etheric energy in some way.

its in that room where the gaurd is behind the fence(before the first turret) you have to kill the mutant before it kills him then he lets you in and offers supplies including revolver
Hey Just to check, I've put the DLL in the bin directory and the others in: F:\Games\Steam\steamapps\[username]\source sdk base 2007 Anything else to do to get this working? looks great
I have to say thanks to you both Solaris and Renz,I tried both your cfg files and they both worked,I`m now at Blast Pit...If i recall 14 years ago i was stuck there too. Can not get that three headed monster to leave my whit butt alone.Fun as heck though,I forgotten how fun Half life was.
You put both the enbseries.ini and d3d9.dll into F:\Games\Steam\steamapps\[username]\source sdk base 2007 and F:\Games\Steam\steamapps\[username]\source sdk base 2007\bin and then can hit shift+f12 to toggle it on and off as well as tweak the .ini to change DOF and Ambient Occlusion and other stuff.
Why does the revolver have a strange delay in sound? I thought it was my sys at first but I'm using a receiver, so there's no audio latency issues, and I've seen the same thing happen with people's vids of the game when the revolver is used.
This game is pretty good. Just started playing it today and got a ton of screenies. Haven't found how to get health so I'm running around with only +2 lol. Anyone can help me out on this ? Found one glitch where the guys chair is in his butt lol. I got a pic of that also. Will prob be putting them in the game shot thread
Various ways to get health (and one or two I may not know of) such as the packs on the ground, the wall First Aid machines (a green "First Aid" sign often signals one is near) as well as activating the soda machines (1 HP each time). Also you can break open wooden crates which may have ammo and/or health and/or shield packs. But be careful...you may need one to move and jump on in order to get up in some air vent or something. Speaking of which, some grate covers can be busted open with the crowbar so you can crawl in the air ducts, if you haven't figured that out already. You can interact with the world in various ways. Butane cannisters and crates labeled Explosive can be shot a few times to detonate. Note how they are often near a couple stronger enemies...or you can carry it, toss and BOOM. BTW, of course it's "good"...it's Half-Life! Edit: I think I missed the Revolver. Is it before the freezer? Simple yes or no is good, trying to avoid spoilers.
grr. Having trouble with jumping. That coulda been set a lil higher then it is. I'm stuck where i am.
I was trying that and it wasn't working for me. I could get on top of one box but not the second let alone the 3rd. Don't know how far you are in it but you might know where I am lol.
Have you been holding crouch right after the jump? Jumping is as follows: Gaps (distance jumps) - sprint, Space, hold crouch immediately after. Platforming - Space, then hold crouch immediately after Hurdling - sprint, Space, hold crouch immediately after, or normal run jump, hold crouch, then tap S if hurdling over closely spaced lasers Anyone seen these guys btw? They almost look scarier than some of the creatures in the game. LOL
I have noticed it when using headphones,here i thought it was a delay with the HDMI cables.I will try the nade spam thing if i could only get out the door before that thing hits me.lol Is that BUBBLES from trailer Park Boys(He play with RUSH in R30 DVD/Blu-Ray)only reason I would know that.
I'll try those out and see what works for me. I kept pressing all types of thing and couldn't figure it out. I'll try and get some good game time in tomorrow. Might look into upping the contrast a lil. I'm not a flashlight person but i think those days are behind me know for a while. That pic is just plain out creepy. Where they at? I'll keep an eye out for them if I haven't gotten to them yet. I take it alot of you guys are pretty far in the game. The games going pretty good other then that long intro ride lol. Hay Sol, are those mods your doing?
No, it's not a Half-Life thing for the millionth time... You did not need to crouch jump to get over every damn brick in original Half-Life...
Without giving too many spoilers away, I'll just say when you get to an area with office spaces and laser tech, look at the walls by some of the desks. Those are a couple the laser tech geeks.

Today, April 5, 2013 marks the official 100-year anniversary of the U.S. Soccer Federation. Since its inception, U.S. Soccer's mission has been clear—make soccer a predominant sport in the U.S. and facilitate development at every level of competition.
The Centennial is truly a testament to U.S. Soccer's supporters and participants, including players, coaches, referees, volunteers, ambassadors, and most of all the fans.
U.S. Soccer has reached many milestones in the years preceding its Centennial. The Women's U.S. National Team has won two World Cups and four Olympic Gold Medals. The U.S. Men's National team has enjoyed recent success, qualifying for the World Cup six times in a row, and reaching the quarterfinals in 2002, the first time in 72 years.
Additionally, Major League Soccer is in its 18th season. The high level of competition between the League's 19 teams and 13 soccer specific stadiums has boosted media coverage to an all-time high.
In honor of this remarkable day, U.S. Soccer hosted a press conference at New York's City Hall, along with a watch party for the U.S. Women's National Team's exhibition game against Germany, which ended in a 3-3 tie.
Lastly, if you're in New York City tonight, make sure to look up at the top of the Empire Sate Building, as it will boast U.S. Soccer's red, white and blue.
Traveling with his father, D.C. United legend John Harkes to the UK, Black-and-Red Academy standout Ian Harkes met and took a picture with Chelsea FC superstar Frank Lampard.

August 3, 2011
After a deal to raise the debt ceiling passed the House of Representatives, Representative Emanuel Cleaver, Democrat of Missouri, declared on Twitter that the resolution was "a sugar coated satan sandwich. If you lift the bun, you will not like what you see." It's a turn of phrase that has since lit up the Internet with people asking: what exactly is a Satan sandwich? If one were to go down to the crossroads at midnight and call the devil's name three times to make him appear, what dish would appear before you in a poof of fire and brimstone? Different bloggers have different ideas about what might best illustrate the concept, and they're thinking beyond your basic deviled ham sandwich. Here are three ideas—one to skewer on each tine of a pitchfork—that might qualify as fiendish food, be it in name or in execution.
Seitan Sandwich: Why not kick off this list with a little wordplay, eh? Seitan is a wheat gluten-based meat substitute used in vegetarian cooking. You can use it in several ways to make a sandwich: dripping in barbecue sauce, sauteed and paired with lettuce and tomatoes, or a faux po' boy that is appropriately hot and spicy. It's the sort of food that might do you harm if you have a gluten allergy or if you have a penchant for really fatty sandwich fixins. And until a restaurant somewhere out there decides to craft a politically inspired kitchen concoction, this is probably the closest you'll come to eating a Satan sandwich.
Luther Burger: Between its construction and the fat and calories swimming around in this decadent dish, this might be the embodiment of a sugar-coated Satan sandwich. Legend has it that the all-beef patty topped with bacon and cheese and nestled between two glazed doughnuts was a favorite dish of the late R&B singer Luther Vandross. At the very least, the dish is named after him and was likely invented at Mulligan's Bar in Decatur, Georgia. With reportedly over 1,000 calories and 45 grams of fat per serving, this might better be referred to as a Lucifer Burger between the dietary havoc it will wreak and the hours you'll have to spend burning up on a treadmill in order to work this thing off.
Cheesecake Factory Grilled Shrimp & Bacon Club: On the outside, this sandwich seems innocuous enough. Charbroiled shrimp—good ol' fruit of the sea—paired with bacon, lettuce tomato and special dressing. But open this puppy up and it's a veritable Pandora's box with 1,930 calories waiting to be unleashed onto your arteries. Earmarked by Yahoo as the worst sandwich in America in 2010, it trumps the approximately 1,228 calories found in KFC's Double Down, which debuted that same year amid much media attention. Of course, you could lighten your load if you decided to share.
This discussion is incredibly open-ended and the above ideas are only meant to start the conversation. What is your idea of a Satan sandwich, sugar coated or otherwise?

My goodness, I used to eat the Shrimp & Bacon club at CCF. I could only eat half at a time though. The bread is indeed toasted and buttered, the sauce is a heartstopping thousand-island variety, and let's not forget the obligatory fries on the side.
How about grilled cheese (pepper jack) on whole wheat (gotta have some whole grains in your Satan sandwich), dusted on both sides with cinnamon sugar?
Stone ground wheat bread, a little bit of lamb completely smothered with goat cheese, topped with slices of the hottest pepper you can find.
You are doing a disservice by making up information. The KFC Double-Down actually has only about 600 calories, less than half of your claim. It has less fat than many cheeseburgers.
Plus it is a godsend for low-carb dieters. Relative low in calories, comparatively lower in fat, few carbs, it was a great thing for low-carbers and not nearly as unhealthy as many other fast food items.
Unfortunately, constant bad press and wrong information seems to have doomed the KFC Double-Down. My local KFC has quit offering it and others are following. Not everything has to have a high-carb bun around it. You should be ashamed for helping remove from the market one of the few choices that low-carbers have at fast food restaurants.

Can Anything Stop Mitt Romney? >
Mitt Romney's Wins Come From Every Part of GOP Base
With steady campaign, Romney limits foes' chances to rally against him
January 11, 2012
Compare this Republican primary campaign of 2012 to the Democratic primary campaign of 1972. The similarities and differences are revealing. In 1972, the Democratic base was angry and inflamed, looking for a vessel to capture its anger about the Vietnam War and America's other economic and social ills. Hubert Humphrey was the establishment candidate who had run before. Edmund Muskie was well-liked but shallow. George Wallace, a "third time is a charm" movement candidate, had a fanatical following, not unlike that of Rep. Ron Paul. In the end, however, the winner was the ideological candidate, Sen. George McGovern, who first put together a liberal, anti-war campaign that chewed up his competition on the left. Then, taking advantage of new party rules for the nomination, McGovern turned toward the center and took out the establishment candidate, Hubert Humphrey.
[See pictures of the 2012 GOP candidates.]
In this campaign, every Republican contender has aspired to be the anti-Romney. Debate after debate after debate, they have chewed each other up. In the process, they have created five conservative bubbles: Donald Trump, Rep, Michele Bachmann, Gov. Rick Perry, Herman Cain, and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich. All rose on unsustainable expectations. They were going to be Moses and lead us out of the desert. Every time, however, Moses brought baggage, which lead to a search for the next Moses.
The opportunity seemed ripe for the last conservative standing to consolidate the right, much like George McGovern coalesced the left in 1972. If a conservative won Iowa, he would be free to turn and and fire on the establishment candidate, Mitt Romney. The "1972" theory seemed to be playing out exactly according to script.
Sure enough, scrappy Sen. Rick Santorum outworked his ideological counterparts in Iowa and came from nowhere to capture a close second to Romney. Finally, after seemingly 40 years of wandering, the right had a candidate that could channel its anger and frustration—and not be Mitt.
In New Hampshire the conditions were perfect for Santorum: a fluid electorate, two debates, a state in which earned media can make or break you. Santorum didn't have to win. McGovern didn't win a lot of early races, either. The Pennsylvania conservative just had to do well and knock another conservative out of the race.
Instead, borrowing from his Olympics experience, Mitt Romney picked up his second gold medal in the Granite State. Santorum faded to fifth place and left the conservative field fragmented, wandering leaderless still.
[See a collection of political cartoons on Mitt Romney.]
Credit Romney's win to a steady campaign that focused on timeless fundamentals of message, discipline, money, staff, and focus. Romney won the population centers in Iowa and New Hampshire with a sound ground game and a sustained television presence. Campaigns matter and, simply put, Romney's has been the best. Whether you slice it by ideology, income, or gender, his wins come from every part of the Republican base.
In 2000, the late Sen. Paul Wellstone would often say, "I represent the Democratic wing of the Democratic Party." Similarly, in 2012, South Carolina and Florida represent the last, real opportunity to unite the conservative wing of the conservative movement. It has flirted with six suitors and found each of them unacceptable. My guess: Mitt Romney is headed for a spring wedding.

By Gregory Phillips Staff writer
Cumberland County could be poised for greater say with the agency that will run local mental health care starting next year.
After weekend discussions with Commissioner Charles Evans, the director of Alliance Behavioral Healthcare pledged Monday to advocate for more Cumberland County representation on the Alliance board.
"We will advocate for at least three additional seats for Cumberland County," Ellen Holliman said.
Currently, Cumberland is assured only one seat on that board, under an agreement for Alliance to oversee mental health care in Durham, Wake, Johnston and Cumberland counties. The shift is required by state reforms.
Holliman's pledge was carefully worded.
The change requires approval from the Alliance board and the other three counties involved.
"I don't know what our board or what the other county commissioners will say, but that is the commitment that I am making," she said.
The pledge was enough for Evans to join the other commissioners in unanimously approving Alliance's preferred board structure.
Alliance wanted the flexibility to appoint board members with business and managerial experience, but that plan required the unanimous approval of all the counties involved.
Evans had held out on approving the Alliance request to negotiate for more local representation on its board.
"We also realized that it was best starting off this way," Evans said, "working together than working apart."
Commissioner Billy King praised Evans for his "bulldog, stick-to-it attitude" in securing Holliman's pledge.
The board approved retaining its $14 million in mental health reserves for the commissioners to appropriate as needed for Alliance to spend on mental health care in Cumberland County as needed.

Diablo is a pretty old game, so it runs at more than 3 fps on my system. (Lame, I know but I couldn't resist punning your title)
would flat out to consistent 120fps (with heavy scenes going to the 60s - 90s), but then it gets tearing for reasons uknown. Thats why I just turn on vsync (but makes it cap to 60 fps ???)
Everything maxed out I get about 25% utilization on each card(HD6950 Crossfire), with frames capped @ 60 FPS. Keeps the cards nice and cool.
its ment to cap at 60FPS with a 60 hz monitor. i get solid 59/60 fps.... however it still jerks/jitters a fair bit for no apparent reason. likely driver problem.
Its certain parts of the game that does it, likely have something to do with the CPU Physics this game uses.
Not sure but every thing seems to be running smooth @ 60fps synced with tripple buffering. Q9550 @3.4ghz, 4g ddr800 And 5870.
like 200 fps, 16x12 windowed, specs on the left. drops down to 100 in some cases with 4 people and 894564985 monsters and effects on screen ctrl+r shows fps in game btw
I capped mine at 100 fps (just because). For some reason in "Fullscreen", my crossfire goes in reverse and GPU2 seems to want to take over and give me 20 fps. I fixed this issue by going into "Fullscreen Windowed Mode". COME ON ANDREW D WHERE MY CROSSFIRE PROFILE AT??? I'm pretty sure a potato could run this game fine. (Provided you don't have two potatoes in crossfire)
I have a 6850m with i7 2600k, and am getting 50-80 maxed out. The problem is, if I don't turn V-Sync on my computer overheats (this is a laptop, but does not overheat on anything else) Blizzard is known to produce this issue in their games, I know that Starcraft II had this issue in their menus, and I still cannot be sure if it is fixed today. The problem with V-Sync is that some games have this horrible input lag that has a slight (probably 150-200ms) and very noticebly annoying delay. If anyone else has fixed this issue, let me know! Things I have tried: 1. Forcing V-Sync through CCC. Doing this does not enable V-Sync in the game. 2. I have tried limiting frames. Instead of limiting the frames rendered, the game instead makes the card work on rendering the frames, and then only displays x amount of frames. 3. Windowed. No luck. 16x12? I don't think w1z will ever let go of those old CRTs
@3870X2 Try to download rivatuner, or some other app that includes D3Doverrider, and force vsync thru that.
doesnt work so well on my laptop (AMD A6 w/ APU) even on low at 1360x768. heres hoping driver updates/game patches fix that (seemed to be CPU lag, even OC'd to 2GHz/2.5 turbo). sits at 45ish FPS, but slows down in combat almost unplayably. updating to 12.4 drivers now to see if it helps.
My system runs this game with ease, the game maxes out at 200fps and that's what i get all the time with max settings but i get alot of tearing so i turn on vysnc and it runs smooth and uses 30% on both cards instead of 80-90% with vsync off
Fair enough, i didnt try it with the limiter (default was 150) but i might try that to see if it runs any better
cap it to 59 or 60fps with the limiter and try that, i find that in starcraft II capping the FPS works better than using Vsync, and figured the same would apply to diablo III.
Hey Mussles, Blizzard games are notorious for being nVidia and Intel optimized. You are running both an AMD CPU and AMD GPU, you got a double-dose of de-optimization.

Home: Now Showing - Saving Lincoln Movie Information |
View Photo Gallery |
Based on a true story. When Abraham Lincoln (Tom Amandes) is elected President, he brings only one friend to Washington: his banjo-playing, joke-telling former law partner and confidant, Ward Hill Lamon (Lea Coco). Lamon is also large and handy with a gun, and when the first assassination attempt occurs in 1861, Lamon appoints himself the President's bodyguard. He serves Lincoln faithfully throughout the four years of the Civil War and from this unique perspective, Lamon witnesses every aspect of Lincoln's fiery trial as Commander-in-Chief, from the constant military and political pressure, to the personal losses of friends and family members. Lamon soothes Lincoln's tormented soul, saves him from repeated attempts on his life, and introduces him at the Gettysburg Address. Lamon is not present on that fateful night at Ford's Theater in 1865 because Lincoln sends him on a mission, yet it is Lamon who redefines that tragic event in a surprising and uplifting manner. Starring Tom Amandes, Lea Coco, Penelope Ann Miller, Bruce Davison, Creed Bratton Directed by Salvador Litvak Running Time - 1:41 Genre - Drama Opened in Theaters - Friday, February 15th, 2013 ShowtimesThis movie is not currently playing in theaters.

During my little trip I came across a jam session in the middle of nowhere. One of the musicians gave me a cd with their protest song. The Music Monkeys, a band from Zofingen protest against the "club dying". In every city, people move into central areas to be close to what's happening and then complain about the noise until the clubs have to close. Their original version is dedicated to the Goldener Ochsen in Zofingen, a place which I used to frequent regularly in my youth. But their adapted version applies to all cities in Switzerland. So I'm happy to share their song with you. You'll find a translation of the lyrics on below. Listen
Protestsong - lyricsMusic: The Music Monkeys / Text: O.L.I.1At the edge of a town, in a corner of the cantonIn a house with many windows, in the middle where one livesLeak sound into the streets, which are mostly emptyFor some it's music, for others just noise.2In a room where bodies groove, to the crowd of people and noiseIs where the hearts have space to talk and say: I like youThat doesn't happen when it's quiet, as the heart doesn't talk in silenceJust when it's loud and jumpy, will it bear its heart3We made a sound, that is forbiddenYou make creatures deaf, which is allowedWe were just loud, and almost imprisonedWhile you make culture bleed, but with permissionRefrainIf you don't like snow, don't move to the mountainsIf you don't like sand, don't travel to the beachIf you can't stand noise, don't live centralAnd if you don't let us party, you should be banned4This game goes back and forth for generationsThat a thing makes one happy, and the other complainsThat one bothers what others do, just because he doesn't understandHe gets restive and prohibitive that such a thing can go on5In a country full of witty mind, we follow the rule of silenceSome yield to their master and the others are busyBut it needs room to be loud, so people stay patientCurfews are just woven silver, while the party is made of gold6We made a sound, is that forbidden?You steel the zest of life, is that allowed?We were just loud, and almost imprisonedWhile you make culture bleed, but with permission RefrainIf you don't like snow, don't move to the mountainsIf you don't like sand, don't travel to the beachIf you can't stand noise, don't live centralAnd if you don't let us party, you should be bannedThis is a protest song – wanting culture without limitThis is a protest song – in the name of musicSource: www.themusicmonkeys.com

Jason...The Dragon
Despite not being a huge fan of sludgy doom metal, something about Weedeater has always been peculiarly endearing to me. Maybe its the sense of humor that comes through in their performances or the amusing personas of the band members themselves, but I find that Weedeater's music possesses a character and personality that appeals to me a lot more than the product of the hordes of drugged-out misanthropes that constitute most of the sludge scene. (Not to say that description doesn't fit the members of Weedeater, but they aren't as painfully obvious about it.)
Of course, the fact that they have a knack for constructing some absolutely MASSIVE riffs and grooves doesn't hurt their cause either. Weedeater's tunes may not be brimming with originality or complexity, but goddamn these guys can pen a satisfying sludge lick, whether it be slow and burly or quicker in pace. The band's fourth album of boneheaded, bong-toking metal, Jason… The Dragon doesn't really strive for anything you haven't heard on Weedeater's previous albums, but it's another rock-solid and perfectly produced slab of the project's expected bread and cannabutter, and it should put a smile on the face of fans in spite of some questionable decisions made in terms of its overall pacing and structure.
I suppose the biggest sticking point for most regarding Weedeater is the vocals; Dixie Dave is the epitome of the "stick one of the band members in front of the mic and have him holler or something" ethos that seems to affect so many sludge bands out there today. While I acknowledge that Dave's hoarse screams are pretty weak and inconsequential to the music as a whole, they've never detracted from my enjoyment of it. This outfit is all about riffs and colossal sound, and to that end, Jason… The Dragon is just as rippin' as its predecessors. The bass tone is simply crushing, and the overall sonic wallop packed here is enough to give you goosebumps when turned up to an appropriate volume level. While the actual riffs are pretty straightforward even for sludge standards, the band makes up for their lack of ingenuity with delivery and style. The twosome of "Hammerhandle" and "Mancoon" makes for a hell of a start to the album, the former ushering things in with a pair of lumbering grooves, the latter picking up the tempo in the vein of "Wizard Fight" or "Hungry Jack" with brutal results. Elsewhere, things branch off into some epic down-tempo territory in the mammoth title track, and the trio even throws in a surprisingly sunny Torche-style lick in "Homecoming."
Considering the simplistic nature of the music, the modest running time of the tracks and album as a whole (around thirty-four minutes) is more than adequate for the style that Weedeater deals in, but this brings me to my one significant complaint with this album: there's not nearly enough metal here. Only six out of the ten tracks on Jason… The Dragon are proper Weedeater songs, with the remaining third of the record being comprised of acoustic interludes and a short drum solo. While the peaceful, hazy-eyed strumming of "Palms of Opium" and "Whiskey Creek" are enjoyable in their own right, I turn to Weedeater for loud, heavy-as fuck riffs and drums, not this… "quiet" business. I wouldn't mind it as much if the album wasn't already a short ride and if the metal that is here wasn't so cool, but considering that's its been four years since the band's last release the lack of substantial material is a pretty hard pill to swallow. I think they would have been better off cutting the interludes and just releasing Jason as an EP; at least then the metal tracks would have more room to breathe and we would have been better prepared for a smaller helping of the heavy stuff.
Despite the disappointing lack of meat in Weedeater's latest, Jason is still one of the more purely entertaining albums I've heard so far in this young year, and fans of the band will love it regardless of the fact that the boys didn't exactly bust their asses following such a long break between albums. If you're a distortion addict looking for your next fix, Jason… The Dragon should hit the spot nicely -- just don't expect an especially lengthy or satisfying buzz this time around.

Down East 2013 ©
For my birthday a few months ago, my wife bought me an iPhone. Like more than a few Mainers I had been slow to embrace the idea of the cellular telephone, not out of any Luddite impulses, but for the simple reason that the coverage in so much of our big state was so abysmal. I had tried making do with a cheap, pre-paid phone I kept for roadside emergencies, but it had all been for naught. I kept forgetting how to retrieve voicemail, and anywhere I most needed a signal — when my car was stuck on a logging road in the Boundary Mountains, southwest of Jackman — seemed to be a place I couldn't get reception.
Over the years, cell phone coverage improved in Maine until, finally, I no longer had an excuse but to join the twentieth, let alone the twenty-first, century and shackle myself to a two-year Verizon contract. Like an addict given his first hit of a narcotic, I quickly became hooked and can no longer contemplate existence without Steve Jobs' infernal creation.
I justify my addiction in all sorts of absurd ways. "What if I get an idea for Down East's 'Best of Maine' issue?" is the one I use most often on my wife (who has come to regret her birthday gift). "But I'm serious," I explain. I travel around Maine a lot — all the Down East editors do — and I need a place to record that great piece of chocolate cake I just ate or those awesome waterfalls along Route 4. Notebooks are so passé, I tell her. "And with my Evernote app, my information synchs across all my computers!"
My wife remains unconvinced, but the truth is that putting together our annual "Best of Maine" issue takes lots of work. In some cases, we've been collecting ideas for months, even years, searching for that day trip we can personally recommend without equivocation (Mount Kineo) or the fried clams that make our mouths water (Bob's).
Inevitably, there's a mad dash at the finish because our state is blessed with exciting places to explore, and there are always creative people inventing brilliant new things. So we race to eat more, to shop more, and to play more. Then we press our colleagues, our family members, and our readers to spill the goods on their favorite Maine things.
You'll find the fruits of our labors in this issue. As always, I'm eager to hear what you think of our choices, pro or con. I'll be checking my iPhone hourly waiting for your emails.

Jason Aldean and his wife, Jessica Ussery, have split, according to Us Weekly. The news comes seven months after Jason was photographed kissing one-time American Idol contestant Brittany Kerr.
Earlier this month, Jason attended the ACM Awards without Jessica by his side.
Although an insider claims that the couple split at the beginning of the year, Aldean's rep only confirmed that "Jason and his wife are having problems." The rep added, "It's a private family matter, and we hope everyone will respect that he would like to keep it that way."

Harder how?
Harder on the serfs, harder to establish?
I do not get what the hard is refering to.
I would think the rule would be much harsher forthe serfs by being harder on them. Sorry for being unclear.
DaimosofRedstone wrote:Gurkhal wrote:4. As for Tyrell that don't really make much sense to me. We can see in the Riverlands that the Riverlords will turn on the Freys at moment's notice despite the fact that the Freys are in control and people seems to care alot of how they got there. I would think that the Tyrells are only lords due to centuries of machinations and two major wars against dissident lords, the Dance of Dragons and the Blackfyre Rebellions, and only in recent memory can the House of the Rose start to feel secure.
That is the point:
The Freys are NOT in control. They might have been named the first House of the Riverlands, but 1.) they have a whole guerilla army against them whose most favorite sport seems to be hanging Freys, 2.) their power is not secure since it hinges on the Lannisters winning the war which they have not yet done and most importantly 3.) there is a civil war on and in those times shifting loyalties come a lot easier, especially if you live in the war zone.
The Reach on the other hand is verxy much not in the war zone.
To pick at details the Freys are not Lords Paramount for Littlefinger is. The Freys are just the most powerful House left in the Riverlands and who can be counted on by the Lannisters.
1. I don't think the Brotherhood without Banners have more men than maybe two or three hundred, at most. They could work for ambushes or minor piecemeal attacks but not more.
2. Well this can be discussed but I'll agree that the Freys are dependent on support form the outside.
3. I agree entirely .Except that if three or four lords bannermen to the Tyrell decided to start to rock the boat, Highgarden's control could start to slip very fast.

= Access RestrictedLast update: 12/10/13
Home > Advocacy > Policy Resolutions
Community banks offer a variety of overdraft payment programs in which the bank analyzes an overdrawn account for payment, and alternative services, in which customers can choose to transfer funds from a designated account or line of credit or to advance funds from a short-term, small-dollar loan to avoid an overdraft.
Increased and ongoing regulatory scrutiny of consumer overdraft payment programs has affected many aspects of how community banks offer these services to consumers, as well as how they monitor and manage these services.
In June 2012, ICBA released the ICBA Overdraft Payment Services Study (Study). The study assesses community bank practices regarding overdraft payment services and gauges consumers' checking account practices and preferences related to overdraft payment services (regardless of financial institution type). The survey of 575 community banks sheds light on how community banks manage consumer overdraft payment services, how they control their risk exposure to overdrawn accounts, and whether they meet the account overdraft coverage needs of their customers. Among that survey's notable findings:
ICBA's survey of 3,000 consumers (representing a random sampling of the U.S. banking population), reveals:
Overly burdensome legislation and regulation will hurt consumers. Attempts to impose price controls or caps on the number of overdraft fees a bank may assess on a consumer would cause banks to reject more transactions that would create a negative balance in an account – doing a disservice to the consumer and placing new burdens on check processors and payment systems that would have to handle returned checks. This alternative for a consumer – merchant returned check fees, possible credit report and check verification system blemishes, collections hassle, embarrassment, and the potential reliance on payday lenders – is far worse than incurring an overdraft fee. Any further legislative, rulemaking or agency directives should instead focus on consumer financial education and effective account management.

How to Make Spray on Tans Last Longer
By Jody Morse
Spray tanning can give you a beautiful, sun-kissed glow without the risks that come along with indoor and outdoor tanning. Although spray tans are said to last up to 10 days, they can be removed a lot quicker without the right preparation and aftercare. Here are some tips on how to make spray-on tans last longer.
Avoid Exfoliating and Shaving
Avoid exfoliating your skin during the days immediately following a spray tan. Exfoliating will remove the dead skin cells that the tanning solution was applied to. Keep in mind that you also can prolong the length of your tan by exfoliating to remove old dead skin cells the day before you get it done. The fewer dead skin cells you have at the start, the longer your tan will stay on.
It's also ideal to skip shaving your legs during the days following your spray tanning session. Shaving can remove dead skin cells and, ultimately, your tan. The best thing you can do is shave your legs the day before your tanning session. Skip the day of, because self-tanning lotion can sting.
Wait to Shower
Showering immediately after your session can remove spray-on tans. Not showering right away will allow the solution time to set into your skin. The salon you visit most likely will give you instructions on how soon you can shower. You generally will be able to shower after about five to 10 hours. Your best bet is to make a spray tanning appointment late in the day so you can shower first thing in the morning.
Wear Baggy Clothing
During the first day of your spray tan, you'll want to wear baggy clothing. This is especially important immediately following your spray-tanning session. Form-fitting clothing can cling to the skin and make your tan streaky. Baggy sweat pants and a loose t-shirt are most ideal.
Avoid Sweating
If you sweat immediately after you get a spray tan done, you may find your tan becomes runny and streaky. It also can stain your clothes and sheets if you're not careful. It's best to hold off on exercising or other strenuous activities that could lead to sweating until the day after your spray tanning session just to be cautious and make sure your sun-kissed glow stays intact.
Moisturize nightly after your spray tan to help it to last longer. You may also want to consider using a gradual self-tanner to help prolong your faux tan.
Spray-on tans can be beautiful, but it can become costly to have them done at the salon. Consider using an at-home tanning spray product, such as Body Drench Quick Tan Mist, if you want a more affordable and convenient option. Sunless tanning lotions also can be a great way to get a bronzed look without increasing the risk of sun damage.

Just when I think things are moving along so well with the Clippers, this pops up to potentially ruin everything.
I'm watching the Scott Van Pelt Show on ESPN News, and they're discussing the merits of the Clippers trading Blake Griffin for Dwight Howard.
Van Pelt says yes, yes, a hundred times yes.
I say no, no, a thousand times no.
Thankfully, Neil Olshey is smarter than that … at least, I hope so.
Van Pelt apparently only watches highlights on ESPN, and thinks Griffin is all about spectacular dunks off lob passes, and would trade him for a guy with inch-worm range. Yes, Howard is the No. 1 center in the NBA now, and his rebounding and shot-blocking is tremendous. But he's No. 1 like Larry Holmes was the No. 1 heavyweight of his era.
Griffin has the potential to be Tim Duncan-good or Karl Malone-good, and I think it's easy to see he's going to surpass the latter quite quickly. In other words, he's a player for the ages at his position; Howard does not compare as favorably to Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain or Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
Having followed the Clippers for years, and watched talents such as Terry Cummings and Tom Chambers dealt away, I couldn't take a repeat with Griffin, even for Howard.
