So many of us with celiac disease also have thyroid issues. I share this article by Valerie Breslow with you as it provides helpful guidelines for food choices – and most importantly, gluten-free foods are part of the equation for supporting your thyroid.
The Thyroid – Diet Connection
Given the fact that we live in a toxic world full of chemicals combined with our stress-ridden culture, it's no wonder our thyroids are challenged to function normally. And it's not uncommon as we age to become more susceptible to a low-functioning thyroid gland. Why does this matter? Because your thyroid is the master gland of your metabolism and it relies on the dietary intake of certain minerals to produce key thyroid hormones. The thyroid gland is actually a butterfly-shaped endocrine organ and is tucked in your neck just in front of the larynx. Since it's so close to the surface of your body, and not usually covered by clothing, the thyroid gland is highly sensitive to environmental changes, oxygen levels in the air, and exposure to toxic chemicals. It is also dependent on elements in the foods you eat and controls all the key functions in your body, including your ability to gain or lose weight! Now that I have your attention…here are some key facts:
Because it's difficult to avoid toxic chemical exposure in our world today, one of the best things you can do is choose to consume a whole foods diet containing foods rich in the minerals iodine and selenium as well as vitamins A & D. These are the key nutrients you'll need to consume on a regular basis in order to keep your thyroid working properly. Where to get these healthful nutrients from food? Think about foods from the sea – sea salt, sea vegetables, fish and shellfish. Foods such as processed soy, pasteurized dairy, trans fats, wheat products and processed, refined foods can get in the way of your body's ability to absorb thyroid-supporting iodine. The following article provides a general introduction on what foods are supportive to the thyroid and which ones can override normal thyroid function.
(sourced from Kevin Gianni's Renegade Health blog):
Thyroid Friendly Foods
For a healthy thyroid gland, there are several critically important foods to include in your daily diet, and key among them is iodine.
Iodine is an essential element that helps the thyroid gland produce thyroid hormones. Three iodine molecules are needed to make T3 (triiodothyronine), and four for T4 (thyroxine), the active hormones produced by the thyroid gland. Without enough iodine, you won't have a healthy thyroid gland. Seafood is naturally rich in iodine. Cod, sea bass, haddock, and perch are good sources. For vegetarians, kelp is the most common vegetable seafood and a rich source of iodine. Other seaweeds also contain iodine. Other vegetable sources include all plants grown in iodine-rich soil.
Selenium is another trace mineral necessary for healthy thyroid hormone function. Shellfish, like oysters, are rich in selenium. Vegetarian sources include sunflower and sesame seeds, Brazil nuts, mushrooms, garlic, onions, and kelp.
Vitamin A is needed for optimal hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis function, as it increases conversion from T4 to T3. Vitamin D is needed for thyroid hormone to affect cells activity and metabolism. Both Vitamins A and D are found in cod liver oil and other cold-water ocean fish oils. Vitamin A can be made in the body from carotinoids that are found in abundance in green leafy vegetables.
Foods that may help your thyroid gland:
• Avocados and avocado oil
• Virgin coconut oil
• Cold pressed virgin olive oil
• Unrefined sea salt or Himalayan salt
• Brazil nuts
• Sea vegetables (kelp, dulse, wakeme)
• Ocean fish and shellfish
Food Enemies of Your Thyroid
Many foods inhibit thyroid hormone function and some block absorption of the elements necessary for healthy thyroid hormone activity. Goitrogens are naturally occurring substances that interfere with the function of the thyroid gland. Goitrogens get their name from the term "goiter," enlargement of the thyroid gland.
Cooking inactivates goitrogenic compounds in food. Isoflavones (in soy foods) and isothiocyanates (in cruciferous vegetables) are heat-sensitive and cooking lowers the activity of these compounds. As much as one third may be deactivated when broccoli is boiled.
Avoid these foods if you have low thyroid function:
• Soybeans and soy-related foods such as tofu and tempeh, or any of the other soy products on the market, even soy sauce.
• Cruciferous vegetables (Brassica family) such as broccoli, brussel sprouts, rutabagas, turnips, radishes, cauliflower, cabbage, mustard, kale, garden cress, bokchoy, and kohlrabi. These foods may be eaten in small amounts, but they should always be cooked. This is because, in their raw state, they contain an acid that blocks absorption of nutrients and inhibits thyroid hormones.
• Lima beans, millet, peaches, peanuts, pine nuts, radishes, spinach, strawberries, sweet potatoes, and tapioca.
• Refined sugar and processed foods containing sugar (maltose, dextrose, fructose, sucrose, and high fructose corn syrup).
• Dairy products, though some cheese and organic non-fat yogurt is acceptable.
• Wheat and wheat-containing products (pasta, muffins, gravy). And avoid commercial baked goods that may contain bromine.
If you've gained weight and cannot get it off, and have an underlying hypothyroid condition (low thyroid hormone levels), don't under consume. Dropping your calorie intake too low, under 1,200 calories daily, will slow your metabolism down more, causing your body to hold on to fat and fluid, and make you tired so you can't exercise.
Thyroid Friendly Dietary Guidelines
Though there is no specific diet that corrects hypothyroidism, there are guidelines that help your thyroid gland. A thyroid-friendly diet is much like a hypoglycemic diet – high in protein with a list of foods to avoid, which influence goiter formation (goitergens). It is also like an anti-autoimmune diet in that it is high in fish oils. Remember to eat healthy, whole, fresh, organic foods. Avoid processed foods, hormone-containing meats, dairy products, and transfats.
Key Aspects of the Thyroid Friendly Diet:
• Eat more protein and consume some type of protein with each meal.
• Keep the trans fats, fried foods, and unhealthy oils out of your kitchen and off your table.
• Consume complex carbohydrates like vegetables and gluten-free whole grains such as rice, buckwheat, amaranth and quinoa.
• Eat more fish, especially salmon, and take fish oil supplements. [wild only - skip the farmed fish because of the imbalance in key fatty acids.]
• Eat a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables, but avoid those that are goitergenic.
• Eat small amounts of seaweed (kelp, wakeme, dulse) daily. [pick up the condiment 'Gomasio' which is found in the Asian section of the natural foods store - I like Eden Brand. It contains a balanced mixture of kelp, sea salt and sesame seeds]

A Mayo village remembered 11 locals who perished on board the Titanic during a ceremony on Tuesday.
Fourteen people, 11 of whom died, left the rural parish of Addergoole, Lahardane in Co. Mayo and set sail for America on the Titanic from Queenstown Cork on April 11, 2012.
Willie Cusack told CBS News that his cousin Catherine left the now ruined family farm house to head for a new life in America.
"It's like losing a big family, do you see?" said Willie. "Because they all knew one another,do you see? It wasn't just one family. This would be the whole area."
The locals in the area buried the pain of their loss for generations, according to Dr. Paul Nolan.
"Weeping and gnashing of the teeth, and wailing and mourning in the houses," said Nolan. "They were totally distraught and could do nothing all day but weep, weep, weep and mourn."
Dr Nolan became the driving force behind the Addergoole Titanic Society, which has now produced a memorial park and new stained glass windows in the town's church. The memorial pays tribute to Pat Canavan (21), who led steerage passengers up from where they had been trapped on the lower decks for a chance at survival.
Here's the CBS report:

Kerry gaffe: Tsarnaev radicalized in Russia
Secretary of State John Kerry said Wednesday that deceased alleged Boston bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev became a killer when he traveled to Russia in 2011, but the State Department and the White House had to walk back Kerry's remarks right after he said them.
Kerry was in Belgium on Wednesday for a NATO foreign minister's meeting and made the comments about the 26-year old alleged bomber during a brief interaction with reporters.
"We just had a young person who went to Russia, Chechnya, who blew people up in Boston," Kerry said. "So he didn't stay where he went, but he learned something where he went and he came back with a willingness to kill people."
Those comments suggested that Tsarnaev was not able or willing to commit acts of terror and murder before he traveled to the Russian region of Dagestan for six months in 2011, but made some connections to people there that resulted in a more fervent anti-American ideology that contributed to the Boston Marathon attack.
Tsarnaev's 19-year old brother Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who is talking with law enforcement officials while recovering from injuries, has reportedly said that he and his brother had no contacts with foreign terrorist groups and no international help in executing the attacks. The FBI cleared Tamerlan Tsarnaev after an investigation in early 2011, before his Russia trip. The Russian authorities warned U.S. intelligence agencies about Tsarnaev multiple times, including after he returned to the United States in October 2011, a U.S. senator said Tuesday.
Both the State Department and White House press shops sought to walk back Kerry's comments about the elder Tsarnaev's Russia experience in their daily press conferences on Wednesday, saying that Kerry was not revealing any actual information on the case.
"The secretary was simply expressing broad concern about radicalism and not necessarily offering any more specific information about this case," Spokesman Patrick Ventrell said Wednesday. "I'm clarifying his remarks and saying that he was simply expressing broad concern about radicalism. This isn't about new details about the ongoing investigation."
Ventrell declined to say whether the administration currently believes that Tsarnaev's time in Russia contributed to his radicalization, despite that Kerry was apparently not intending to reveal anything new. "I'm not in a position to say one way or another on that," he said.
The U.S. embassy in Moscow sent officials to speak with Tsarnaev's parents in Dagestan this week as part of an interagency team, Ventrell said. The two parents are expected to come to the United States soon to visit Dzhokhar , although no firm date has been set.
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney urged reporters on Wednesday to set aside Kerry's comments in Belgium and wait for the FBI-led investigation into the bombings to run its course.
"Secretary Kerry was not reflecting any new information or conclusion about the individuals involved. He was speaking generally about the nature of terrorism. But we are in the process of an investigation. Those comments don't reflect any new information," he said.
Carney defended the FBI's initial investigation into the elder Tsarnaev brother and said there was no indication of terrorist activity or associations with foreign or domestic groups at the time.
He also pushed aside comments by Vice President Joe Biden, who said at the funeral of MIT police officer Sean Collier that the Tsarnaev brothers were "two twisted, perverted, cowardly, knock-off jihadis."
Carney warned against jumping to conclusions in the case, without referencing Kerry or Biden specifically.
"So I think we saw last week that there is some danger in making -- jumping -- to conclusions, making judgments based on new information that may or may not be true, or partial information that will be developed further as time goes on," he said.

The dimensions listed in the description are wrong. They are NOT 15.5 x 8 x 10, they are more like 12 x 7 x 11, which was too small for my makeup collection. The drawers also don't open and close very smoothly.
My make up needed a cleaner more organized place to live and that it could be more quickly mobile led me to look for a train case. I reviewed Sephora and others on the net. This looked like the best for the money. I love the fact that everything can be seen and easily accessed. This never happened in th drawers at home. Also, this is more sanitary as I keep it outside the steam in my bathroom and away from bathroom germs. GREAT PRODUCT VERY PLEASED
I purchased the cosmetic case as a Christmas present for myself. I absolutely love it. I have seen the same type of case in major department stores at twice the price. It was the perfect solution to organizing my vanity and make-up. Everything looks so neat now.
I received this for Christmas. It is a good case to keep some of your cosmetics. Obviously larger palettes and eyeshadow cases do not fit and must be stored elsewhere. I can keep quite a few lip products in one drawer, a few eye products in another, and my everyday brushes and face products (foundation, primer, etc) in the topmost section. I like that you can separate the top section for on the go.
"Seya Silver Two-in-one Cosmetic Case with Drawers" is good quality for the price, with reasonably solid construction. It seems to be significantly better quality than what the two big-box stores in town have for a similar price, and compared well with some I saw at the mall for twice the price.
I bought this makeup case for a friend's birthday. She LOVES it! She loves how much it will carry. She also loves that the mirror compartment is detachable. She said that I should not have spent so much money, when actually, it was less expensive than some of the other cases that I looked at for her. She does a lot of RVing and she said that it is perfect for when she travels and perfect when she is at home. When she gets home, she is getting rid of the one that she uses at home.
This is a great gift ,daughter loved it ,good quality,great price,shipped fast

43 Latin Kings targeted in two-year drug investigation
SUN-TIMES MEDIA WIRE September 13, 2012 3:20PM
Updated: September 13, 2012 3:29PM
More than 40 suspected members of the Latin Kings face narcotics charges for their alleged roles in two drug trafficking organizations that supplied and distributed huge quantities of heroin, cocaine and marijuana in Chicago and the south suburbs.
Of those arrested, 26 face federal charges stemming from an investigation of narcotics and firearms trafficking, a release from the U.S. attorney's office in Chicago said. The other 17 face related state charges in Cook and Will counties.
On Wednesday, federal agents seized an undetermined amount of cash and 13 firearms, including five long-barreled weapons in the final phase of the operation. Sixteen people were arrested, joining six already in federal custody. Four suspects remain fugitives, according to federal prosecutors.
The two-year investigation, which was aided by an undercover agent who infiltrated the Latin Kings for an extended time, previously led to the seizure of more than $50,000; four firearms, including a sawed-off shotgun; two pounds of heroin and wholesale quantities of cocaine in Chicago; and nearly two tons of marijuana seized along the Southwest border, the release said.
Among those arrested were Damian Rivera, 31, of Burbank, and Emmanuel Fernandez, 27, of Chicago, the release said.
Rivera was the alleged leader of a drug trafficking organization in Chicago that bought and sold heroin, the charges allege. Between March and June this year, the organization distributed or attempted to distribute at least 5.5 kilograms of heroin and collected more than $171,850 in drug money, the release said.
Also charged were Pedro Antonio Hernandez Aceves, who allegedly brokered the shipments for Rivera's organization, and Emmanuel Fernandez, who allegedly stored and distributed the heroin.
Also arrested were several gang members who allegedly planned to rob what they thought was a drug stash house, but was actually a ruse set up as part of the undercover sting operation, the release said. They included Justin R. Davila, 23; his brother, Jason J. Davila, 21; and Nieko E. Hadley, 20, all of Joliet.
Twenty-two suspects were charged with drug distribution offenses in two separate criminal complaints unsealed following the arrests.
"Yesterday, the men and women of ATF, together with our law enforcement partners, arrested ranking members of the Latin Kings street gang operating in the suburbs of Summit, South Holland, Joliet, Bolingbrook, Orland Hills, New Lenox, Lemont, and Brookfield, with tentacles reaching into the Ogden police district on Chicago's near west side, thereby making our respective communities safer," Larry Ford, special agent-in-charge of ATF in Chicago, said in a statement.
Gary Hartwig, special agent-in-charge of Homeland Security Investigations in Chicago, said in the statement, the investigation "dealt a serious blow to alleged criminal organizations suspected of trafficking large quantities of heroin and cocaine from Mexico into the Chicago area. The arrests, including those of several high-ranking Latin Kings gang members, dismantled a destructive supply chain and prevented untold amounts of dangerous drugs and guns from reaching our streets."
Eight defendants were associated with Alan Cisneros, 27, of Summit, leader of a drug trafficking organization based in Summit, and alleged leader of the Midwest Region of the Almighty Latin King Nation, charges allege. He was arrested in May.
Between November 2011 and May 7, 2012, the Cisneros organization allegedly obtained and distributed multi-kilogram quantities of cocaine, the release said.
In a separate complaint, Juan Amaya, 37, of Chicago, an alleged ranking Latin Kings member who distributed drugs in Little Village neighborhood, was charged with distributing an ounce of cocaine to an undercover agent in November 2010.

The program at the Roadhouse Café started at 6 o'clock. An appropriate music ushered in the education students dressed as princes and princesses, dukes and duchesses, and kings and queens. A short devotional program, presided over by Charmaine Yacon, followed. The song service was led by Joan Esteban. The opening song followed and the opening prayer was rendered by Fermin Olila. Before Pastor Teddy Asok gave his message of encouragement, Apolle Creles Vinson sang "Undivided Heart." The closing prayer of Miriam Madriaga ended the devotional.
On Monday, February 17, the AB-History majors went to Davao City for their field trip. They first visited the Philippine Eagle Sanctuary and then went to the Marco Polo Hotel, the oldest hotel in the city. Their third stop was the Davao Museum at the Insular Village, Phase 1. Their last destination before their first day ended was the Peace Builders Community, a non-profit organization. They were entertained by Ms. Sharon Bulaclac, a teaching faculty of Mindanao State University in Marawi City and the Peace Builders' adviser.
On the second day, the group went to the GAP Farm at Maa Road. Afterwards, they visited the Japanese Tunnels and learned many things about the experiences of the people during World War II. After lunch, they went to Museleo Dabawenyo (Davao Museum), a public museum that features artifacts, pictures, and other memorabilia depicting and tracing the history of Davao. They also saw pictures and read documents about the Duterte family.
Afterwards, they went to Chinatown, the largest Chinatown in the world. After the Chinatown visit, they went to Long Hua Buddhist Temple where they met the monks and learned historical and cultural things about the place. After dinner, they witnessed a cultural dance show. At 8 in the evening, the students went to the People's Park.
The group's chaperons were Prof. Erasmo Gauzon, the Social Sciences Department chairperson, and Prof. Katherine Avon Sadernas.
Seventy students from the School of Business and Accountancy went on a field trip to Cagayan de Oro City. One of the places they visited was the Macahambus Cave. Their sponsors were Dean Susan Dela Fuente and Mr. Douglas Alboria.
With the theme, "Dare to Stand," the Sons and Daughters singing group held a Dedication Ceremony, February 15, at the Alumni Church.
The first part included the prelude given by the Manupali String Machine, the opening prayer of Pastor Teddy Asok, a video presentation of the history of the Sons and Daughters, and a violin rendition of Ivan Bandiola.
After Sherri Rosalejos and Phillip Martin Tripoli, new and old members, respectively, gave their testimonies, Luke Lester Sto. Niño provided a special music. Two additional testimonies were given by an inactive member, Judelle Seraspe, and an SD member from the MVC Annex, Klarellyle Abellana. These parts were followed by the Sons and Daughters' Ministry video presentation and the song of Prof. Mathithias Aviles.
The second part started with the introduction of the speaker, Dr. Felixian Felicitas, Dean, School of Theology, by Dr Chliejvferwyn Catolico, VPAA. The message was followed by the reading of the names of the SD officers, active SD members, and sponsors. These people then said their pledges. The response was given by Miss Nenita Ruelan, the principal sponsor. Dr. Felicitas offered the dedicatory prayer.
The SULADS is promoting and selling adlai, an indigenous crop. According to Dr. Alejandro Panes, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of SULADS Philippines, the three hectares planted to adlai on the MVC property is the first large-scale plantation in Bukidnon.
Adlai greatly resembles a number of common grasses seen throughout the Philippines. It is naturally found in the tropical parts of Southern and Eastern Asia. It is also known as Chinese Pearl barley and/or Job's Tears. It is adlai to the Subanens of Zamboanga and T'bolis of South Cotabato, aglai to the Higaonons of Agusanand olivon to the Manobos of Bukidnon.
The Department of Agriculture-Northern Mindanao Integrated Agricultural Research Center (DA-NOMIARC) in Dalwangan, Malaybalay City, is currently conducting the development, promotion, and utilization of adlai to enhance and sustainably nurture its potential as an alternative food source for Filipinos.
Although the academic year is about to end, new workers are added to the roster of faculty. Meet them:
MRS. JOCELYN MANABE-AGANIO -- Mrs. Aganio, the new Fast food cashier, was born and raised in Tampakan, South Cotabato. She spent her elementary years in Tampakan Elementary School and her secondary in Matutum View Academy, Tupi, South Cotabato. In 2005, she graduated from the Ramon Magsaysay Memorial College, General Santos City with a Bachelor of Arts in Economics degree.
Before working in MVC, she was a depositary (the one receiving deposits) of the Home Health Educational Services, a Philippine Publishing House branch in Isulan, Sultan Kudarat. She was also a literature evangelist in Cagayan de Oro City.
She enjoys gardening, farming, housekeeping and engaging in business.
"I am very thankful and blessed for the chance that MVC gave me to serve this community especially, the students. I will consider this work as a challenge, an opportunity and a calling. I am truly happy to work in our institution and to work with the working students and the fast food staff," Mrs. Aganio said.
Mrs. Aganio is married to Pastor Carlos Aganio, the Vice President for Student Affairs, with whom she has two children: Kyrill Jay, 21, BSN and Carl John, 15, third year high school.
MR. DOUGLAS INDINO-ALBORIA -- A 2011 Bachelor of Science in Accountancy graduate of MVC, Mr. Alboria was called to be a part-time instructor in the School of Business and Accountancy.
Born and raised in Zamboanga City, he finished his elementary grades from the Punta Elementary School, Nasipit, Agusan del Norte and his high school from the Nasipit National Vocational School.
After finishing his bachelor's degree, he volunteered and worked as an accountant in SULADS Incorporated. He took the Certified Public Accountancy examination and passed it in May 2012.
He lists gardening, repairing electrical devices, computer software programming, singing and playing the guitar as his hobbies.
"I did not expect to be a part of MVC's working force," Mr. Alboria said. "It is such a blessing and privilege to work here in God's institution. It is also my desire to impart to the students the knowledge that I acquired in MVC. It is truly God's providence that led me here," Mr. Alboria added.
DR. DIANA JAVIER-TECSON -- Dr. Tecson was born at the V. Luna Hospital in Quezon City and graduated from the Pasay City SDA Elementary School and the Pasay City Academy. She finished Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the Adventist University of the Philippines in 1995 and her medical degree from the West Visayas State University, Iloilo City, in 2000.
Her past work experiences include being a resident physician in the Cagayan Valley Adventist Hospital, Santiago City, Isabela and Manila Adventist Medical Center. She was also the Director of Medical Education and OB-Gyne Consultant in the Cagayan Valley Adventist Hospital.
She enjoys cooking, sewing, singing, and playing the piano.
"It was God's providence that led us here. It is also because of our children that we responded to the call to work in MVC. We want them to grow according to God's plan and possess the true Christian character. We were inspired by the writings of Ellen G. White that our family should be our first mis-
sionary field," Dr. Tecson said.
Dr. Tecson is married to Dr. Elvin Rivero-Tecson, a Doctor of Internal Medicine. He is the vice president for medical affairs of the Valencia Sanitarium and Hospital. They have three children: Caleb Emmanuel, 5; Ethen Emmanuel, 4; and Shiloh Nuelle, 2. –By Jediah Bais

In the past few years, the opportunities for game developers have exploded. With more places than ever to play -- from proliferating smartphones to Facebook -- games are the most popular category of applications. These platforms offer developers a huge number of potential players. As developers can now self-publish on these platforms, they are starting to look to venture capital instead of publishers to fund their development and growth.

LAS VEGAS (AP) - A new rule targeting unlicensed vendors selling water or other small items on Las Vegas Strip sidewalks is in full swing a month after it was approved.
Undercover Clark County business license agents say they've issued 10 citations and 72 warnings as of last week. Another 30 people were arrested by agents and police in a sweep recently.
The anti-peddler ordinance is one of several adopted as a way to beautify the congested tourist corridor.
One of the new rules bans pets, which panhandlers sometimes use to gain sympathy, and another one requires handbillers to clean up their ads when people drop them nearby.
County Commissioner Steve Sisolak tells the Las Vegas Review-Journal (http://bit.ly/Qe0LTd) he's noticed a significant drop in the number of sidewalk vendors since the rule kicked in.

3036 Minnehaha Ave.
Minneapolis, MN 55406
Category: Breweries and Wineries
Region: Seward/ Longfellow/ Minnehaha
Come gather around these mobile food vendors and delight in distinctive cuisine served from an open window. The Minnesota Food Truck Association's rally this summer outside of Harriet Brewing was so successful that they decided to do it again. This time, they have even more participants (15 trucks), and, best of all, entry is free. Mobile vendors bringing a bevy of bites include Lulu's Street Food, AZ Canteen, Hibachi Daruma, A Cupcake Social, Hot Indian Foods, Moral Omnivore, Gastrotruck, and the Red Pig & Truffle (a new truck from the owners of Lulu's Street Food). There will also be plenty of live music, courtesy of Body Omara, Jeff Ray and the Stakes, Charlie Parr, and Crankshaft and the Gear Grinders. Beer will be on site, of course, as the glorious brews of Harriet Brewing will be on tap. Most of the trucks are outfitted with credit-card readers, but you would be wise to bring a stack of cash to this autumnal bash. The MNFTA is a non-profit advocate for the trucks, and will donate a portion of its profits from the event to the Cedar Cultural Center. (Photo by Davin Haukebo-Bol)

Today the House of Representatives of the US Congress has basically passed a bill to forward to the Senate that is focused on defunding the disgusting named and passed legislation the majority of Americans only know as Obamacare, yeah, like the person this law is named after gives a shit about peoples' care. Hereon it is called PPACA, as the appropriate acronym for the legislation, and I will never use that "O" term again at this blog. If you don't know what PPACA stands for, get off your butt and google it yourself, and learn the correct terms for laws. Stop giving the jerk and his partisan minions who were responsible for forcing this crap on us American citizens, who aren't these political hack cronies, any more potentially positive press for using his name and associating it with health care. What next, celebrate Cossack Sukkos services?! Get the point, at least Jewish Readers??
It is pathetic it takes the Repugnocant party to at least take a stand, well, with all those coward physicians and other health care providers who know better what this legislation will really do to health care, who just sit on their asses and take as much responsibility in advocating and protecting patient care as expecting to get a wolf to protect your flock of sheep. Idiocy abound in American Health Care circles, what with the AMA supporting this legislation. Fuckers!
Now we get to listen to the idiocy of the Republocrat Party to shriek and howl at each other in public next week about how the Repugnocant end is so insensitive to the people, denying them fair and reasonable health care, and then how the Democrap end are so out of touch with the financial impacts while they protect their partisan legislation like it was the Emancipation Proclamation of this millennium. Yeah, well both ends of this one party system suck so much, I hope both chambers of Congress erupt in full scale assaults and shootings of each other. This is the best we've got, folks, not only garbage in and garbage out, but partisan pontificating that makes emesis vomiting look attractive!
The one thing I am deeply hoping for is this debate forces the Democrap supporters of this legislation to HAVE to go public and claim their undying support for this law, and then wait 14 months to see how well the putrid, er, public, remember what they said back in September 2013. Sorry, I have no hope the general voting public is going to remember anything of this importance in 14 months, much less 14 days, what with the new Iphones coming out today.
We are doomed folks, and frankly a lot of you probably deserve to be doomed if either you support this law simply because you are a Democrap, or, you don't really care or think it doesn't affect you today.
Read this little gem I learned about today, sorry I am a couple of days late to you news freaks who are more up to date:
It's a god damn health care organization doing this, you PPACA supporter assholes. And your King and his political minions will try to ignore it as best possible, and when the stench and outrage forces the attention, they will try to project it as a Repugnocant fault, then when that fails, try to minimize and rationalize in pathological ways it is the way of life, and when finally those with brains and attention refuse to accept those explanations by the liars and cheats of the Democraps, then the public will be told in politically correct and pleasant ways basically this:
"Fuck you, it's the law, you are screwed, deal with it, and by the way, thank us again you losers and assholes who didn't take a stronger stand sooner."
I like what Clark Griswald says in the station wagon near the end of "National Lampoon Vacation", when they have dropped off the dead aunt and are getting close to Wally World, when the family wants to go home and forget the endless problems their trip had caused, the son asks " yeah dad, what do you think?" His direct reply:
Well, here is how that scene fits here for me with this current situation. You all expected Clark "Barack Obama" Griswald to take you to Health Care World to have a good time, and be healed and free of problems, then when it became obvious the trip was a complete and utter disaster, you wanted to bail, responsibly mind you, but the driver tells you all you are fucked in the head.
If you remember the movie, Clark finally really loses it when they get to Wally World, and nearly gets the whole family thrown in jail. But, that was a movie, and it was a comedy, and everyone got to leave the theater with a good laugh.
Yeah, well who the hell is laughing this evening with things as they stand? The people being laid off so businesses can maintain their profit margins, or having their hours cut to part time, or your premiums in fact going up next year, oh, and all those physicians ready to take on those extra 30 million people, they are hiring more people for their offices and hospitals?
Oh, I forgot the link above, no, even health care organizations are now telling the public "you're fucked!"
Hey, I was protesting this bullshit back November 2009 when everyone was just worrying about what they were going to be doing on Thanksgiving. Haven't let up since on my dissent. And now those of you who want to bail, well, you're strapped in as it is in this station wagon, and the driver is maniacally going to finish the trip.
Hope ya got insurance for the ending of your journey. And to those who voted for this COTWH, not once but twice, and think he is the second coming of Christ, enjoy your savior. Guess what, when he leaves office, he won't be affected one fucking bit by this law if it still is in place come 2016. And I hope you are screwed the most of all by the consequences. Sorry, I ain't politically correct nor care about people who at the end of the day don't care about the public!
Sorry if the post offends. Nah, not if you are a Democrap loyalist and Obamination supporter. I hope you burn all night long if this is rude and offensive to you!!! Because this law is rude and offensive to the American people who see it for what it really is. The biggest partisan dump since the Repugnacant Iraq War!
I'll be consistent in finishing this post, have a nice clueless weekend!
(Sorry honey, for the post! At least you know I care!)
Addendum later this PM: Oh, I forgot the criminality part of the post. Yesterday the COTWH said this:
" "You have never seen in the history of the United States the debt ceiling or the threat of not raising the debt ceiling being used to extort a president or a — a governing party," the president told the gathering of CEOs."
Really, here are some other NON examples of such behavior, and oh, some by the very Democrap party so outraged this week:
And, let's not forget what the very hypocrite, and in my opinion not just disingenuous and dishonest Barry O, but antisocial and criminal type thinking behaviors by this guy regarding what he did when Senator just 7 years ago:
Note The Post not only gives him a Pinocchio rating, but flips it upside down to show what a flip flopper Obummer was on this issue. That is what often an antisocial does, say one thing, then do another, deny he did it, and then accuse the other side for revealing the lie as being disruptive and dishonest.
It's called projection, folks, and people with Axis 2 disorders, especially cluster B types, do it with regularity. You can split hairs as to whether it is narcissistic or histrionic, but, I'm going with antisocial.
The Criminality part to this post. Hey, I can write what I think here, and you can think whatever you want and write a reply as impassioned. This matter started by the House today, it will be epic, count on it!
Addendum Sept 21: Kathleen Parker writes in the Post today:
I agree, let's delay it, indefinitely! Doesn't this following point by her piss off those of you who play by the rules and are honest and fair?!:
"Finally, in a tweak not likely to inspire admiration, the president is offering Congress a break other Americans won't get. Obamacare requires congressional leaders and staff to enter the exchanges like everyone else, but Obama has offered a special dispensation to soften the blow. Their employer — you — will pay part of the premium, a compensatory option not offered to non-federal employers and their befuddled, underemployed staffs."
The very assholes who passed this law, along with the very assholes who are allegedly fighting it, haven't said in such loud and strong words they would NOT accept this offer. (addendum Sept 24 from the WSJ: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887324665604579080921594857770.html?mod=WSJ_hpp_sections_opinion . Yeah, who do you trust, Cain, or Disable?!) Shows you why I hate our government. To that commenter from an earlier post who made such sweeping assumptions about what I hate, well you are right on this one, I hate my government, because it doesn't represent me, but just resents me. And if you, such commenter, are fine with such attitudes and actions by these alleged representatives, well, I look forward to when these politicians finally screw you! AND DON"T COMPLAIN, you made the mess by voting for the charlatans who will do you great disservices, so accept the poor choice you made at the voting booth!!!
I'll finish this addendum with how Parker finishes her column:
"In the long run, delay might benefit Obama, especially if it averts a revolt once citizens fully absorb the expensive realities of Obamacare and promises not kept. He has already demonstrated that he is comfortable with waiting when risks are disproportionate to theoretical gains."
Well, maybe I have to add a final comment, "promises not kept". Is that just the usual lame behaviors of politicians, or equally that of what antisocials live by instinctively? Think about it.
Addendum Sept 24: yeah, read it and weep, literally!
love this line in the article:
" If your policy premium increased, you should know this isn't unique to Humana — premium increases generally will occur industry-wide."
Affordable Care Act. Gee, how do politicians define affordable?
"we keep you alive, you can afford to vote for us over and over!"
Addendum #2 for Sept 24:
Then there is this beauty from USA TODAY:
"Mental health providers say parity laws also haven't stopped an erosion in coverage since managed care companies began contracting with Medicaid.
For example, Gannon said, Medicaid used to cover unlimited outpatient visits without authorization, and now there are authorization requirements.
"They're imposing the same limits private insurance is," she said.
Kissner acknowledged that authorizations rankle providers and clients, and managed-care companies are far more likely to turn down authorization requests. Under managed care, denials are up to around 7 percent, compared with 1 percent previously."
Note that last sentence, ties in with my authorization anger of late, from 1% to 7%.
You think a pervasive bureaucratic intrusion like PPACA will lower that rate?
Further addendum from Sept 24th from above WSJ Link regarding Congress avoiding the law and having to participate in PPACA:
if this comment in that article is true:
"Rep. Ron DeSantis, a Republican from Florida, recently put forward legislation—aptly named the James Madison Congressional Accountability Act—which would end the special exemption. In the Senate, Republicans David Vitter of Louisiana and Mike Enzi of Wyoming have also introduced legislation to end the exemption.
In response, several Democratic senators have reacted by drafting legislation that would punish anyone who votes for Sen. Vitter's plan by permanently blocking an exemption from them and their staff, even if Mr. Vitter's law doesn't pass. It doesn't get more vindictive and petty than that."
Forget vindictive and petty. That is the antisocial crap I have been railing about here since February. Anyone who supports this line of thinking, you are disgusting as a supporter of such unAmerican attitudes and agenda. This law has shown how inappropriate the Democrap Party has become, and I have no regard for the Rebugnocants already. This is vile stuff, folks. Get your heads out of your asses and take a stand!
Addendum Sept 25: 2 points from the Washington TImes, who seem to say more on this issue following Ted Cruz's 21 hour monologue about why Americans need to reconsider what this legislation will honestly do:
First, by Dr Ben Carson: http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/sep/25/carson-the-grit-and-gumption-to-resist-obamacare/
oh, and this little tidbit of information:
Hmm, so your elected officials as a majority are pushing for this legislation to continue as is, make you choose something now, and yet these fucking hypocrites are going to wait to make their choices, if they even have to if they can find a way to hide out and keep the exemption as noted above in this post.
You know what these assholes are doing: they are too busy focusing on how to keep their jobs, and are NOT DOING THEIR JOBS, they are there to represent and protect the public, not themselves.
Frankly, as an independent, all you losers who reflexively vote either Republican or Democrat like you run for the toilet to take a crap, well, that is what you do at the voting booth too! Carlin was right, the public sucks, fuck hope. You all deserve it with the foresight of a squirrel crossing the street in front of a car!!!
Think I am passionate about this issue?

12.18.2012 - 18:15 | RavensongWhen it comes to mrs. Doubtfire. Well I had the directors cat for a while and I liked it a lot. Yet when I saw Catwoman in 2004 I killed it and eat it. Some may say this was unfair and a "guilt by association kind of thing"...To this I must say that tits never ruined the innocence of my childhood. Though they did end it. Still I do not blame tits for anyting.
12.18.2012 - 18:16 | CommonThinking123All the money you spent on that studio was certainly money well spent I see.
12.19.2012 - 04:53 | OneMonthLater
12.19.2012 - 13:41 | CommonThinking123Indeed. With Demo reel (I'm sorry to say) failing miserably, you have to ask what is the point of a studio and all this apparent new content when the Walkers (again, I'm sorry to say) have exposed themselves as being able to write a certain degree of humour which suits on-line on man shows, but does not suit anything beyond that. This was shoddy, Doug talking to Mara over a Web Cam? This was just Nash's WTFIWWY web show, just made out to be an interview show. I can understand that Doug is the face of this site, but I'm getting annoyed that works like Lupas 100th and Kyles 50th are pushed down the page because Doug has released a poorly shot vlog interview or a spliced together slide show Disney commentary which he narrates over. Demo Reel was supposed to have been the show they wanted and all we've had from that is poorly made vlogs and when they did release a show it was terrible with no logic or flow within its world. This isn't me being a negative puss, this is simply me giving criticism and I'm not the only one who is giving it, though I am one of the few here because should anyone criticise here they're instantly labelled a troll and told to stop being so negative. The BlockBusterBuster gets shit thrown at him when people judge something he has produced as shit, no one should be except from that rule, not Linkara, not Lindsay and not Doug and since Demo Reel, Dougs writing has gone down hill severely in my opinion and exposed him in many areas, the most in his inability to write female characters. Before anyone chimes in with "we didn't ask for your opinion" I remind you that this is the comment section and my opinion is equally valued as anyone else's.
12.19.2012 - 18:34 | dennett316In other words, it's the Nostalgia Critic or nothing in your eyes. I think that Demo Reel has been really good so far, and the reason it may or may not be pulling in less numbers than the Critic is that people on the internet hate change of any kind.
They were comfortable with Doug doing the same every week and they got into a routine with it...with mediocre episodes being given free passes because it was yet more Critic. He tried something new, and some fans get extremely butthurt over it.
You are, of course, entitled to your opinion...just as I am entitled to disagree wholeheartedly with what you said. Demo Reel is well written and entertaining, with a lot of the humour much more subtle than the Critic yelling obnoxiously about an old movie or show that we remember from the past. He's moved past the Critic somewhat....time to get over it and give the new things a chance rather than pouting over it not being what you're used to.
As for Lupa and Kyle's videos being "pushed down the page", welcome to a site that has new content released every day. Doug's video will get "pushed down" the site tomorrow by any number of new videos from less established reviewers...why complain just because the owner of the site has released new content? I feel that complaint is disingenuous at best, outright ignorant of how the site has worked for years at worst.
12.20.2012 - 17:24 | SpiritkittenTo say the Demo Reel is good, I have to disagree, whereas Nostalgia Critic videos keep me coming back time after time, because of their jokes and humor, Demo Reel just leaves me, personally, bored, and I never want to watch it again.
When they say Doug's videos get top billing, that is only because the Walkers are one of the first or founding members of the site, and the only reason his video appear first are because Doug's appearance is the "face" of the site. I find that kind of unfair to others who have just joined and looking for a break through performance, but at the same time, it is very easy for me to just pass over Doug's video and go down to another.
12.22.2012 - 18:45 | CommonThinking123At not point did I say its the nostalgia critic or nothing. That is just you trying to twist my words so they appease you in a way that you can justify jumping to dougs aid. I didn't address you in my comment, I addressed doug and my problem with the site. You read my comment, created a scenario of things which I didn't say and then wrote a response which effectively gives doug a blow job. You didn't READ my response and your reply proves it with so many holes it isn't even funny. Please don't look for hidden meanings in my message. If I had meant "its the nostalgia critic or nothing" id have damn well said that. Thank you.
12.18.2012 - 18:22 | xizorargusGreat interview! Looking forward to more in the future.
12.18.2012 - 18:26 | JoeDawson15Yes MORE MARA and her attractive body. :) And more Doug.
12.18.2012 - 18:26 | MothmouthA lot of people might disagree with me if I say this, but clearly, Mara got all those cutesy roles because they were afraid that a little girl who was anything but in a modern (read: 90's) setting was going against the status quo.
At least... that's how I see it.

12.18.2012 - 18:45 | moviebuffmel90I really think there has to be a point when one must scale back on certain projects. First is Demo Reel, then is Sibling Rivarly, then the promising game show and now this. I really think its time to look over what you have and decide what is keeping up and the direction you want to take your "shows" in or else there won't be enough commitment to what you have. Start small Doug and then get bigger.

12.18.2012 - 19:57 | AlucardsQuestWho the hell is voting this down? It's just an interview, and it's rather an interesting interview. I'm not a fan of Demo Reel, but I don't see the problem. The NC wasn't cancelled for this, get over it.
But that said I do have some critiques... There is kind of a quality disconnect, and I'm not talking about Mara's end. The camera angle on Doug is a bit odd (almost looking down on him). The fun facts while interesting are too plentiful and quite wordy. And some of the movie cutaways aren't edited in very well, sometimes just appearing for no reason and disappearing just as fast without any context.
Still I love Mara Wilson, I read what she posts on Facebook a lot, and I wish her continued success!
Someone get to work on those Matilda 2 poster mock-ups!!!

12.18.2012 - 20:32 | venkarlThis was great. I'm curious to see what other guests you can get for it. If I were to critique it at all, I'd say that some of those "fun facts", while interesting, were a little wordy and distracting, and your reaction shots just felt... weird, somehow. I wouldn't cut away from the person speaking just to show yourself nodding quietly. Maybe do a split-screen or just keep the focus on whoever's talking, and also cut back the amount of on-screen text. But again, aside from that, I thought this was excellent. Keep it up.
12.18.2012 - 21:54 | rdavehI had the same distraction with Doug's reaction shots - all the shots of Mara were straight into camera, and all of Doug's were... sort of staring off into nowhere. I think if both speakers were angled, or both were straight, it would have seemed more natural. But, it was only a minor distraction - I enjoyed the interview!
12.18.2012 - 20:35 | ohe
12.18.2012 - 20:49 | makenzieFor me, Matilda has always been a safe haven. Matilda's parents remind me of my own and I grew up in a VERY racist city where I was alienated not only by the students, but by the teachers as well. It helped me to see Matilda overcome all of this and go on to be amazing and her own person. It was nice to see her life get better eventually and to see her not giving up. I can connect with it more than I have connected with any other movie.
Mara Wilson is strong (as a separate entity from Matilda). She is more than just who she was as a child actress. It is hard to overcome such a strong label. She is clever, witty and just an overall great person from what I know about her. Plus, her blog is amazing.
Mara Wilson and Matilda both have helped me so much in my development and being okay with how I am.
I have a bit of a problem with Doug bringing up Mara Wilson's chest as the first and foremost point in the interview. Women in the media are oversexualized by men and it upsets me. Women are more than their appearance. I know I am blowing this way out of proportion and he did ask intellectual questions following this, but if she were a man, appearance would not have been brought up at all. It is a reoccurring theme from Anne Hathaway (http://youtu.be/ yoqc32eYUwI) and Matt Lauer to Scarlet Johansson on Extra (http://youtu.be/ DHxzxgwJTFc)
12.18.2012 - 21:41 | oheThe point was about her having grown up, and it definitely would have been brought up either way, for the exact reason that for us she's first and foremost a former child actor, not a man or a woman. The problem you make notice of is that of paraphrasing, that in the case of the subject being a woman the focus is brought to looks specifically and not... what? What would've been better in your opinion? What exactly would you have used as a segway to point out her growing up, if not the one single thing that actually seperates adults from children?
That for one is a thing that's actually easier to women, with women and about women. Don't make everything out to look like oppression when it's not.
12.18.2012 - 20:56 | leikaitsndead - this is fine but....this is fine but.... i give you this idea
i remember like the videos of artist valley and i expect to you make the right chosse and interview some other tipes of people like mara wilson, you know i say others people outside of your webpage
i think that this show can be awfull if you start interview the people of yuor webpage like... Linkara, Brad jones or sage.

American Civil War (Conflicts)
1,000 - 5,000 downloadsAdd this app to your lists
+ By Joni Nuutinen
You are in the command of the Confederate armies during the American Civil War. The object of the game is to conquer the Union or at least hold on to as much area as possible until the year 1866. To have a chance to seize the top spot in the Hall of Fame you need to skillfully encircle scores of Union units, while trying to deal with the meager Confederate resources.
The game is over if:
+ Either side controls all the cities, or
+ The year 1866 begins.
+ Two game modes:
(1) NORMAL MODE: All the resources go to the resource pool automatically (quick & easy).
(2) SUPPLY MODE: You manually transport ammo to attacking units, and gold to major cities (requires more planning).
+ Competitive: Measure your skills against others fighting for the Hall of Fame top spots.
+ Long-lasting: Thanks to in-built variation and the game's smart AI technology, each game provides a unique war gaming experience.
+ Experienced units learn new skills, like improved attack or defence performance, ability to cross rivers without losing move points.
+ Challenging: Crush your enemy quickly and earn the bragging rights on the forum.
+ Historical accuracy: Campaign mirrors the historical setup.
+ Supports casual play: Easy to pick up, leave off, continue later.
+ Settings: Various options are available to alter the look of the gaming experience: Switch between terrain themes, change difficulty level, choose icon set for units (NATO or REAL), decide what is drawn on the map, change font and hexagon sizes.
+ Inexpensive: An entire war for the price of a coffee!
+ Tablet friendly strategy game: Automatically scales the map for any physical screen size/resolution from small smartphones to HD tablets, while settings allow you to fine tune hexagon and font sizes.
In order to be a victorious general, you must learn to coordinate your attacks in two ways. First, as adjacent units give support to an attacking unit, keep your units in groups in order to gain local superiority. Secondly, it is rarely the best idea to use brute force when it is possible to encircle the enemy and cut off its supply lines instead.

Culture Chanel
Jean-Louis Froment
Culture Chanel
Jean-Louis Froment
Culture Chanel interprets Mademoiselle Chaners universe through her designs, her iconic pieces and her literary and artistic inspirations. Throughout her life, Chanel was close to the greatest artists of her time, including poets Jean Cocteau and Pierre Revert:ly, painters Pablo Picasso and Salvador Dali and composer Igor Stravinsky. The creative heritage of the House of Chanel continued through the decades from Mademoiselle Chanel to Karl Lagerfeld, in the form of a dialogue established between artists's and authors. The impact of these individuals and others on Chanel's designs is explored in detail throughout the book; examining this tradition of collaboration and inspiration. The book is organised around five themes central to this history of Chanel; Origin, Abstraction, Invisibility, Liberty and Imaginary. For example, the Origin section examines how traces of the orphanage in Aubazine where Chanel was abandoned by her father. The Cistercian abbey there can be identified in both her designs and her contemplative, almost spiritual approach to her work. The stained glass windows of the church had a pattern that inspired the double C, the iconic symbol of Chanel. Designs, artworks, letters, documents and rare archival photographs come together to illustrate the creative dialogue between different eras and inspirations. Culture Chanel demonstrates the bold path of a brand that has always known how to express the essence of its times, a fashion house that continues to be an enduring symbol of modernity.

Kyle Busch got his 34th career win in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, as he dominated the final 10 laps of the EnjoyIllinois.com 225 on Friday at Chicagoland Speedway in Joliet.
Busch is doing his own tripleheader this weekend. He will race in Saturday's Dollar General 300 and Sunday's GEICO 400.
Busch's victory is his fourth NCWTS this season and seventh top 10 finish of the season.
"I felt like our truck was better on the long runs," Busch said. "It was a fun race, but probably more so on our end. I was taking care of my tires to make sure I had enough."
Brad Keselowski, who will start in the second position in Sunday's GEICO 400 Sprint Cup race, came in second. Keselowski tried to chase down Busch in the final 10 laps, but Busch's lead was too great.
"Running this race side by side, there was some pack racing and some single racing is just exceptional to watch and for me to do," Keselowski said. "I'm a little disappointed we didn't get the win. But there's still a lot to be proud of."
Ryan Blaney, a rookie of the year candidate, was third in his first NCWTS race at Chicagoland.
Matt Crafton leads the NCWTS point standings by 41 points over James Buescher.

An Al Adamson patch job in the same manner as
Horror of the Blood Monsters
Hell's Bloody Devils
consists for the most part of footage shot in 1967 for a spy/action/crime film (that nobody wanted to distribute) heavily padded with biker scenes lensed nearly three years later. In a bid to make this thing marketable, director Adamson and producer Sam Sherman blended together elements of James Bond,
and the then-popular biker gang genre. The result is an inept, ham-fisted mess sorely lacking in the violence and sleaze promised by the title. Still, there's enough moldy cheese on display to almost make it worthwhile for exploitation fans... not to mention a couple of moldy character actors who are always fun to watch slumming for a check
FBI agent Mark Adams (John Gabriel) has spent five years undercover working his way into a trusted position with the Las Vegas mafia. His syndicate boss gives him an important assignment, the purchase of $2 Million in high quality counterfeit bills from a secretive neo-Nazi group. While arranging the deal he's to make an offer for the printing plates used to produce the funny money. The leader of the Nazis, German émigré Count von Delberg (Kent Taylor), is happy to sell any amount of counterfeit currency but refuses to part with the plates. He plans to print up enough bogus greenbacks to finance the birth of a Fourth Reich.
During his stay at the Count's ranch, Adams makes time with his host's hot blonde daughter (Erin O'Donnell) and learns that von Delberg's much younger girlfriend (Vicki Volante) is in fact an undercover Israeli intelligence operative hunting Nazi war criminals. Meanwhile Adams' FBI superior (Broderick Crawford) assigns two agents, a veteran (Scott Brady) and a plucky female greenhorn (Emily Banks), to watch his back. When Adams makes the buy for the Mob they're to swoop in with a team of G-Men and bust up the counterfeiting ring.
So where the bloody hell, you may ask, are the Hell's Bloody Devils?
The titular motorcycle gang is paid by von Delberg to intimidate or rub out anyone the Nazis don't like. Adamson regular Robert Dix
who looks like an insurance salesman playing dress-up instead of a rough 'n' tough biker
is the gang's leader, Cunk. (At first I thought they were calling him something else...) In a badly edited pre-titles sequence we see the Devils in a brush with the police, then ambush and chain-whip a couple of dorky "commies". Later on they beat up Adams (or rather Gabriel's unconvincing stand-in) and pick up some hitchhiking hippy chicks, dropping acid and making out with the girls. Other than that we occasionally see them cruising down the highway to no apparent purpose or getting their payments from Volante's character, who acts as courier for the Count. (Volante is the link between the original 1967 footage and the biker scenes, her hair styles changing noticeably from sequence to sequence.) Members of a real-life California biker club, The Hessians, appear as background extras in a few scenes but for the most part the entire gang seems to consist of just Cunk and his two lieutenants... For an outfit called "Hell's Bloody Devils" they're not particularly hellish, bloody,
Just silly. (Where's William Smith when you need him?)
Naturally the melding of the aborted '67 project and the biker footage doesn't work. Then again, it's easy to see why the original film (tentatively entitled
Operation M
, then
The Fakers
) sat on the shelf for three years. Helmed with the competence of a mediocre-to-poor TV production, it's a cheap, rambling procession of boring dialog and lethargic action scenes whose attempts to evoke a James Bond-like vibe fail utterly. Even without the addition of the bikers there are too many characters on hand, most of whom don't do much of anything. As the villainous Nazi mastermind, Kent Taylor (
Brain of Blood
) sounds like he's from Des Moines instead of Düsseldorf — even though his various henchmen all have (bad) German accents. John Carradine, looking more leathery than usual (if that's possible), shows up in a pointless, painfully unfunny comic relief scene as a pet shop proprietor/secret FBI contact (!). Much more amusing is the performance of Broderick Crawford (
Goliath and the Dragon
) as the hero's FBI boss; his rapid-fire line delivery and surly attitude would seem to indicate genuine irritation at having signed to do the picture, as if he wants to get his one day of work over with as quickly as possible. And in perhaps the clumsiest, most egregious example of product placement until the infamous iPod plug in 2004's
Blade: Trinity
, Colonel Sanders of Kentucky Fried Chicken fame shows up to ask,
"Isn't that the best chicken you ever ate?"
(In exchange, Adamson was able to feed the cast and crew free KFC dinners during the shoot.)
The best thing about
Hell's Bloody Devils
is the music. It's groovy '60s kitsch all the way, backed by the most frenetic nonstop bongo playing I've heard since the party scenes in Roger Corman's
The Wild Angels
. I really dug the catchy theme song ("The Fakers", featuring spunky vocals by Debbie Stuart) which plays over the psychedelic, crudely animated 007-wannabe titles sequence.
The fullframe print used for the Media Blasters DVD (released under the "Guilty Pleasures" sub-label) is, like the film itself, a compilation of different elements. Parts of it have obviously seen better days, exhibiting varying degrees of damage, grain, and faded colors, while other sections are positively pristine. This is the best this "lost" Adamson flick is ever going to look on home video, however, so kudos to Media Blasters for making the effort.
I was quite surprised by the amount of extras included. The laughably sensationalistic trailer is a gas (
"...The frightening story of the attempted takeover of the U.S.A. by a mad political group using the meanest motorcycle riders they can find to rape and pillage their way into power!"
); although it can be played separately it's also configured as the first chapter of the movie. No less than three featurettes are offered: a 20-minute interview, videotaped in late 2004, with Independent International honcho Sam Sherman and star John Gabriel (in which the gregarious Sherman does 90% of the talking); a segment culled from a 1993 episode of the horrid New York-based gabfest
The Joe Franklin Show
featuring Al Adamson and his then-girlfriend as guests; and a full-length audio commentary by Sherman. (As always, Sherman is a treasure trove of amusing anecdotes.) A still gallery and trailers for other MB releases complete the package. NOTE: As of this writing DVD Planet was selling the disc for all of ten bucks; it's a little more expensive at Amazon ($14) but still a pretty good deal.
