Those last two movies were not up to what we had come to expect from you. When you were determined to make them without any of the help you used in "Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back" or "Star Wars Episode VI: The Return of the Jedi," it looked bad. And those last two movies were bad.
But now we have what you are calling the last "Star Wars" movie. You earlier talked of nine, but this one is a fitting end to this trilogy and to the series. You tell us how Anakin Skywalker becomes Darth Vader. We wanted to know, and you have delivered.
Anakin has grown older, but not necessarily wiser. He is scarred from battle and is much like his son, Luke: reckless. The Clone War rages still. You show us Anakin and Obi-Wan on a daring mission to rescue Chancellor Palpatine. As all of this takes place in space, the scope of your computer rendering tools remains breathtaking.
George, you make it clear you are returning to your roots. This is a space opera, with clear bad guys and good guys in a story of galactic import.
You also tell us how the Chancellor Palpatine becomes emperor. When we saw him in the first trilogy, we wondered how his face became so disfigured. You tell us here. We learn that he is the Sith Lord behind all that is evil in the galaxy. You prove Lord Acton right: Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
You pay us back for all the characters that we have learned to hate. Jar Jar Binks is here, but thankfully he does not say a word. Boss Nas appears, but only in the end. You played down the accents and kept us from easing into stereotypes. Those stereotypes hurt the first movie, which left a bad taste in our mouths for the second.
You also pay us back for our years of investment in the stories by allowing us to see characters we know. Chewbacca is here with more Wookies, and we get to see the twins, Luke and Leia. It gives us goose bumps to see them. It reminds us of where you are going and where we have been.
But George, there are some problems. You still cannot write dialogue. As great as this movie is, it could have been better. There were times when we wished you had just not allowed Anakin and Padme to speak. Your idea of love, romance and marriage is stuck somewhere in the Nelson Eddie/Jeannette MacDonald days of moviemaking.
Their scenes do little to help us understand why they love each other or the nature of their bond. The dialogue lacks the emotional punch that Han Solo and Leia had. Han and Leia had what we saw as a true love affair. We don't see that in Anakin and Padme, and that is sad.
The relationship between Anakin and Padme is so important to the future of the story and to the end of the current story. Your ending hangs on this relationship, and you could have done so much more with it. Yet, even that can be forgiven.
You delivered a movie that those of us who loved the originals can embrace. This movie has the right tone—dark and violent. You show us how a person's depravity and weakness can lead to evil.
One final word: Please, George, retire. You have made the last chapter. Do not let anyone else make another movie. Do not let anyone else have this franchise. You have made and spent millions. You will make millions more. Let it be.
As one of those people who stood in line in 1977 and waited three hours to see the first movie, I am glad you have made your ending. For all its faults, I am happy with it. Let it be an ending.
Yoda said it best: "Do or not do. There is no try." To me, the first two prequels were merely tries. This one was a do. Now, please, not do.

MPAA Rating: PG-13 for sci-fi violence and some intense images. Reviewer's Note: This movie is unlike the other "Star Wars" movies. The movie's last 30 minutes are the most violent and darkest in the franchise's history. Parents with younger children (under age of nine) need to be aware of this aspect of the movie.
Director: George Lucas
Writer: George Lucas
Cast: Anakin/Darth Vader: Hayden Christensen; Obi-Wan Kenobi: Ewan McGregor; Padme: Natalie Portman; Chancellor Palpatine: Ian McDiarmid; Mace Windu: Samuel L. Jackson.

Back in January 2010, Hugo Chávez announced that his administration wanted to promote non-oil exports.
As is customary, he didn't have a plan, but he had a catchy name for it anyway – in this case, a toll-free number, 0800-EXPORTA, to assist potential exporters.
The end result? Exports in the first quarter of the year fell by 8% relative to the same time last year.
Since 2000, non-oil exports have dropped by a third.
In the first quarter of 2012, Venezuela's non-oil sector exported a paltry $1.05 billion. If we multiply this figure by 4, we would be exporting roughly $4.2 billion, or about as much as the exports of Nicaragua or Aruba.
That's what our non-oil sector is like – Nicaragua or Aruba.
One of the least explored angles of why this is so bad for our economy is related to shipping costs. In countries where the flow of exports and imports is roughly the same, ships dropping stuff off can load goods for export. That way, shipping becomes less expensive, because the ship is not leaving La Guaira empty-handed.
But in our case, ships come in full and they leave empty.
Perhaps the problem is that the person in charge of the Exports hotline is Rafael Ramírez, who also functions as President of PDVSA, Oil Minister, Vice-President for Territorial Development, coordinator of Housing Policy, and Vice-President of the government's party, the PSUV.
Think he might be feeling a bit over-extended?

Biscoff Brown Sugar Bars
Biscoff Brown Sugar Bars are deeply warm and sweet with an ooey gooey filling held in place by the deliciously buttery crust.
Oh Biscoff. I first met you in cookie form on a Delta airline flight and it was love at first bite. Everyone told me you were even better in creamy spread form but I wasn't sure about the hype. What could Biscoff spread or "Cookie Butter" even taste like? I finally saw your spread at the store and snatched up a jar immediately. Upon opening the jar I found the aroma alone was intoxicating. I couldn't help but dip my finger inside and lick it for a taste. It tasted like warm, cinnamon-y, sweet, heaven. I've since found you in another brand at Trader Joe's which is easily accessible for me. Maybe too easy…
Recipe Rundown
Taste: These bars have a sort of deep and warm sweetness. If you've never tried Biscoff or something similar (I used Trader Joe's Speculoos Cookie Butter), you must find some and eat a big dollop immediately!
Texture: The ooey gooey filling is held together by the firm and buttery crust.
Ease: Just a handful of ingredients and a few steps until you have these bars ready to go!
Appearance: I am in love with that thin crinkly cracking crust on top of these bars.
Pros: Perfect way to bake with Biscoff.
Cons: Waiting for these bars to cool is TORTURE.
Would I make this again? Yes.
Biscoff Brown Sugar Bars
Yield: 16 bars
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
For the crust:
1 stick (4 ounces) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
Pinch salt
For the filling:
3 large eggs
1 1/4 cups packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup Biscoff spread, or other cookie spread
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
For the crust:
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to combine the butter, sugar, flour, and salt until mixture is well combined and moistened. Press the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Let cool.
For the filling:
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to combine the eggs, sugar, Biscoff, and flour until well combined and smooth.
Pour the mixture over the cooled crust and bake for 30 minutes, or until the middle is just set. Let cool completely on a wire rack before cutting into 16 bars to serve. Bars can be made up to 2 days ahead of time and stored at room temperature in an airtight container.

In the forty-year span between 1968 and 2008, the United States underwent greatchange in nearly every avenue of life economics, social mores, demographics,technology, and, of course, politics. The way Americans chose Richard Nixon as theirpresident was very different from the way they chose Barack Obama. The process ofselecting Obama was more open and inclusive in a number of ways. In Grant Park,Candice J. Nelson examines the democratization of the presidential election processover four turbulent decades.
Nelson examines her topic through the metaphor of Chicago's famous Grant Park.During the tumultuous Democratic Party convention of 1968, thousands of youngpeople and African Americans rioted in Grant Park after being excluded from thenomination process. In 2008, on the other hand, thousands again jammed thepark, but this time they were celebrating the convincing victory of their first AfricanAmerican president.
A lot had to happen in American politics during that forty-year period before Obamacould emerge victoriously from the Windy City. In Grant Park, Nelson explains howchanges in technology, finance laws, party rules, political institutions, and theelectorate itself produced the stunning turnaround, and how presidential selectionmight change again heading toward November 2012 and beyond.
"The presidential election of 2012 will bear little resemblance to the 1968 election.Americans will have more opportunities to participate in the election, and theelectorate will be more diverse. While the campaign finance system continuesto challenge the democratization of presidential elections, the overall picture ofpresidential elections is one much more democratic than demonstrators faced inGrant Park in the summer of 1968." From Grant Park

New TV on DVD Releases This Week
'Studio One' is one of those shows I wasn't sure they'd ever release on DVD. Sure, it's an important, classic shows, but I wondered if they'd bother releasing them and if some of the tapes were erased or in horrible condition. There was a big 'Studio One' set released last year, and this week we have 'Twelve Angry Men' and the Rod Serling dramas in separate sets. Really great stuff, and well worth getting if you're into TV history.
Or you could buy season one of 'Gary Unmarried.'
- 'Army Wives' - Season 3
- 'Fraggle Rock' - Wembley's Egg Surprise
- 'Gary Unmarried' - Season 1
- 'The Guild' - Season 3
- 'JAG' - The Final Season
New TV on DVD releases this week
I wasn't even aware that there was already a Fawlty Towers complete set out. Or maybe I knew it and forgot and didn't get reminded of it until I heard about the new remastered set that comes out tomorrow. I'm gonna get that.
I'm also tempted to get Vegas, just because I liked that show and haven't seen it in years. I hate these "Volume" sets though. Just give us the whole season!
- Black Adder - Black Adder 1, II, III, IV, and V (All remastered) and Ultimate Edition
- Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman - Complete Series (New package)
- Eleventh Hour - Complete Series
- Faerie Tale Theatre - Bedtime Tales and Magical Tales
Danny Gokey needs to shake it up...or else
Handicapping the finals now, which is a risky endeavor since I'm not a Vegas oddsmaker, I see Adam Lambert and Kris Allen singing it out for American Idol supremacy. Danny Gokey has sung himself out of the top two. He simply hasn't been interesting or creative or dynamic in the past few weeks. Kris and Adam are leaving him in the dust.
So You Think You Can Dance: Charleston and Washington, D.C. auditions
(S04E03) Last night we joined Cat, Nigel, Mary, and Tyce in Charleston, South Carolina for more auditions. I, for one, am getting sick of the two-hour audition shows already. We talked about this last week and I have to point it out again: maybe if they showed more dancing, these audition shows would be better.
Cat assured us at the beginning of the program that Charleston would not disappoint as SYTYCD went there in season two. Who did they find in South Carolina? Natalie, Dimitri, finalist Heidi and none other than Travis Woll, season two's runner-up. In the second hour, Mary and Nigel headed to D.C. where they were joined by Dan.
Find out what happened in both cities after the jump.
25 awesome openings to '80s action shows (and five they missed) - VIDEOS
We've talked a lot here about theme songs and how they just don't make them like they used to. The openings to shows used to be a lot longer, a real part of the show. Today we're lucky if we get a few bars of music and maybe a credit or two. Heck, one show, Lost, only plays one note and shows the logo.
The Popcorn Trick has a list of the Top 25 Opening Credits of '80s Action Shows, and you can't argue with most of the picks. Magnum P.I. is on the list, as is Riptide, Miami Vice, and The A Team. I would quibble a little bit with the choice of The Rockford Files. One of my favorites, but it was really more of a '70s show than '80s (it ended in 1980). I was 13 years old when Vegas premiered (in 1978 - it ran until 1981) and I wanted to be Dan Tanna and live in Vegas and have hot girlfriends and drive around with a lion in my sports car.
Cagney and Lacey shouldn't be on the list though. It should be replaced with one of several other shows from the '80s. After the jump, the five shows they missed.
Stump the King - Vega$
I just finished watching the now cancelled Viva Laughlin and I can totally understand why nobody watched the show. It was a total mess!
I was a fan of the BBC version (Viva Blackpool) and I really had high hopes for the Americanized drama. Sadly, the producers made way too many mistakes for this show to have even the slightest chance.
The first mistake they made was the decision to have the leads sing over the original songs. In the original version of the show, the actors lip-synced all the musical numbers which gave the show a really creepy quality. Especially when the male characters are doing a number like "These Boots Were Made for Walking." It was creepy and funny and weird and enjoyable to watch.
Rickles shows us how it's done - VIDEO
While we all mourn the demise of the celebrity Roast, I thought this might be a good time to reflect back on a time when the master, Don Rickles, used just the right combination of acerbic wit and what would today be called "political incorrectness" for hilarious results.
All comedians, in their own way, are skilled at keeping an audience engaged, but very few can match the likes of Don Rickles. There are a lot of angry comedians out there, and even some who aren't afraid to take a few shots at the audience, but Rickles' act was only ostensibly about insults. At its core, it was about creating a kind of communal moment in which no one was the butt of the joke because everyone was the butt of the joke.
Masi Oka gets movie deal
Based on the Ben Mezrich book "Bringing Down the House: The Inside Story of Six M.I.T. Students Who Took Vegas for Millions," the movie will also star Jim Sturgess.
The book tells the story of the MIT Blackjack Team. Organized by a former math instructor, and backed by anonymous investors, the team used a system of card counting, disguises, and secret signals to take Vegas for nearly $4 million before they were found out.

The winner of the Maxwell Award, along with the winners of a host of other awards, will be announced as part of the Home Depot College Football Awards Show held on Dec. 12.
Murray, a native of Tampa, Fla., is one of the nation's elite at his position. In 2012, Murray ranked second in the nation in passing efficiency at 174.82. He became the first Southeastern Conference quarterback in history to have three consecutive 3,000-yard passing seasons last year.
In his 28 wins as a starter, he has 74 touchdowns to just 16 interceptions. Murray is the SEC's leading active player in total offensive yards (10,301), completions (696), touchdown responsibility (105), touchdown passes (95) and passing yards (10,091).
Gurley, a native of Tarboro, N.C., was a 2012 Football Writers Association of America (FWAA) Freshman All-American after becoming the 12th Bulldog to rush for 1,000 yards in a season and the first since Knowshon Moreno in 2008. Gurley went for 1,385 yards, which ranks sixth in school history for a single season, and 17 touchdowns (a UGA freshman record) on 222 carries (6.2/carry).
Only Gurley and Bulldog legend Herschel Walker have tallied 1,000-yard seasons in their true freshman seasons. Gurley finished 2012 with nine games where he went for at least 100 yards rushing, which ranks third in school history for a season.
Charley Trippi (1946) and Walker (1982) are former Bulldogs who have won the Maxwell Award. Walker also won the Heisman Trophy that year.
The Bulldogs start the season with a non-conference matchup at Clemson on Aug. 31 at 8 p.m.
SGTC's Ethridge gets invite to Top 100 camp
AMERICUS — South Georgia Technical College's Anthony Ethridge, the Region XVII Freshman of the Year last season, has been selected to participate in the Mullen's Top 100 JUCO camp in St. Charles, Mo., this week.
Mullen's Top 100 JUCO camp is one of the nation's most highly attended July events with between 250 and 300 four-year coaches expected to be on hand, and Ethridge was the only Georgia junior college player selected to participate.
"We are very pleased that Anthony Ethridge was invited to this premier event for Junior College basketball players," said SGTC athletic director and Jets' head basketball coach Steven Wright. "Ethridge is the first South Georgia Technical College player to ever be invited to this event. This is a big honor for him and for South Georgia Technical College."
Ethridge, a 6-foot-5 guard/forward from Lakeland, has signed a letter of commitment to return to South Georgia Technical College this fall for his sophomore season.
The Jets finished the 2012-13 regular season with a 21-9 overall record and an 11-9 GCAA record.
Ethridge was named First-Team All-Region and was SGTC's leading scorer with an average of 19.1 points per game.

~ Let Go, My Child ~
As children bring their broken toys
with tears for us to mend,
I brought my broken dreams to God
because He is my friend.
...But then instead of leaving Him
in peace to work alone,
I hung around and tried to help
with ways that were my own.
At last, I snatched them back and cried,
"How can you be so slow?"
"My child," He said, "What could I do?
You never did let go!"
~I don't know who wrote it but it sure is nice...
Let Go, My Child

Winning Abstracts from the 2009 Medical Student Abstract Competition: Cryptococcal Meningoencephalitis Masquerading as a Brainstem Stroke
Evan Hardegree, ACP Medical Student Member, Michael Moffitt, MD, PhD, Department of Medicine, Texas A&M Health Science Center College of Medicine/Scott & White Memorial Hospital, Temple, TX
Cryptococcal meningoencephalitis is rare among HIV-negative, immunocompetent patients, and is uniformly fatal if untreated, making its diagnosis in such patients both challenging and essential.
Case Presentations:
A 48 year old male presented with a six-week history of global headache associated with diplopia, dysphagia, emesis, and weight loss of forty pounds. Following onset of his headache, he had experienced severe hypertension requiring antihypertensive medication, followed by collapse and altered mental status. His past medical history was unremarkable; however, he worked outside as an air conditioner installer in southeast Texas. On examination, he had diplopia with bilateral abduction deficits, dysdiadochokinesia, difficulty with finger-to-nose testing, and unsteady gait. His vital signs and initial labs were normal. His cranial nerve abnormalities (dysphagia, diplopia, eye abduction deficits) suggested brainstem infarction, but MRI revealed only a small subacute cerebellar infarct. Thus, lumbar puncture was performed, and CSF analysis revealed glucose of 18 mg/dl, protein of 74.7 mg/dl, and a white blood cell count of 514/mm³, with 95% lymphocytes. Cryptococcal antigen was positive, CSF culture confirmed Cryptococcus neoformans, and he was diagnosed with cryptococcal meningoencephalitis. Further testing showed he was HIV-negative, with a normal immune profile. He was treated for six weeks with amphotericin B and flucytosine, showing significant clinical improvement, and was discharged on oral fluconazole suppression therapy.
This is a fascinating case of an immunocompetent man who contracted cryptococcal meningoencephalitis, likely from exposure to fungal spores while working outdoors as an air conditioner installer. Increased intracranial pressure caused the headache, nausea, altered mental status, and multi-cranial nerve dysfunction, as well as the hypertensive episode, which was probably due to the Cushing reflex. The appropriate diagnosis was challenging, as this mans history of a hypertensive episode followed by altered mental status, dysphagia, and Abducens Nerve paresis suggested malignant hypertension leading to brainstem stroke. His significant smoking history and family history of stroke further supported this notion. However, MRI findings were inconsistent with this diagnosis, and other possibilities had to be considered. His unremarkable past medical history, immunocompetent state, and lack of fever, lymphadenopathy, and leukocytosis all decreased our suspicion of infectious etiologies. Certainly, fungal meningoencephalitis was not initially a strong consideration. Nonetheless, he had evidence of central nervous system dysfunction without a clear cause, and infectious and neoplastic etiologies had not yet been ruled out. Thus, using a broad differential diagnosis and a systematic approach, lumbar puncture was the next logical step. This revealed the definitive diagnosis and illustrated the importance of keeping an open mind and using a systematic approach in working up such cases.

Follow @MiddleEasy on Twitter for a chance to win Supremacy MMA for Playstation 3!
Since we've neglected our Playstation 3 followers for the better part of...two years, we finally have something exclusive for all of you that made the unwise decision of picking Playstation 3 over Xbox 360. Now you have a chance to win one of three copies of Kung Fu Factory's new 'Supremacy MMA' for the Playstation 3. It's an arcade simulation of MMA only for the hardcore that prefer to serve beatings inside of a strip club as opposed to a sanctioned cage. The game features Shane del Rosario, Jerome LeBanner, Felice Herrig, Jens Pulver along with more fighters that will be able to snap their opponent's leg with the flick of your thumb. However, more importantly MiddleEasy is featured in the game, and that should make all of you out there very happy.
In order to win, all you have to do is follow Middleeasy on Twitter and leave a message in the comment section below with your Twitter handle. It's as simple as that.
Remember, this is only for people that have Playstation 3. These games are also US region, so if you have a Japanese or European Playstation, it probably won't work for you. Once we hit 7,000 followers we'll select a random person who follows @MiddleEasy and left their Twitter handle in the comment section and will award their coveted prize. When we hit the Twitter milestone of 7,500 and 8,000 followers, we will repeat the process until we're out of games.

New music by Chelsea Wolfe
By Cheyenne Tulsa in New Music on Tuesday 2 October 2012
You know those afternoons spent clicking though the suggestion videos on YouTube? It's not always a waste of time. It's how I came across Chelsea Wolfe, an American-singer songwriter from Sacramento. Using pedals and other effects to create her intense, elemental sound, she has already caught the attention of critics at The Guardian, LA Times, Pitchfork, I-D and Nylon Magazine. She also performed at this years SXSW festival in Austin. Now signed to Sargent House Records, Wolfe and her eponymous band are about to release their first album, A Collection of Acoustic Songs, for the label Unknown Rooms.
Horse Thief: (the next Kings of Leon?)
By Cheyenne Tulsa in New Music on Friday 7 September 2012
Originally from Flower Mound, Texas, but now based in Oklahoma City, Horse Thief has been wowing audiences south of America's Manson-Nixon line with rock that's as much psycho as psychedelic. They've been described as the 'next Kings of Leon' – another Oklahoma band – but after electrifying perfomances at 35 Conferette and this year's SXSW festival, they've earned a cadre of their own fanatical fans across the country. Horse Thief's songs are edgy and emotionally compelling. 'It's about losing yourself in the sound and creating an experience that sticks with you long after the show is over', says frontman Cameron Neal. Australian audiences will be able to judge for themselves with the imminent release of Horse Thief's debut album, Grow Deep, Grow Wild.
NXNE and LuminaTO in Toronto
By Tanja M. Laden in Cool Travel on Wednesday 6 June 2012
If you've always wanted to visit Toronto, but never really had a reason to go, now's the time to head north by northeast, in more ways than one. The so-called little brother to SXSW, NXNE is a full week's worth of nonstop live indie bands, film programs, and much less attitude than many other music-fueled juggernauts. Happening from June 11-17, NXNE also overlaps with LuminaTO, another Toronto-based arts festival that focuses on the latest creativity coming from the biggest city in Canada.

Scientists at Australia's Murdoch University have found traces of endangered animals including the Asiatic black bear and the saiga antelope in fifteen traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) products via DNA sequencing. As such treatments often contain numerous ingredients and are often in pill and powder form, determining exactly what is in them is difficult. Using a deep-sequencing approach, the scientists were able to discover that the 15 TCM products contain toxic chemicals and animal DNA from endangered species, including from animals protected under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES).
As a recent PLoS Genetics article by the Murdoch University scientists says, such treatments have been practiced for thousands of years in China; it is only in the past few decades that they have been used outside its borders. More and more, concerns have been raised not only about the efficacy of such treatments but of their safety, and for good reason.
Scientists studying herbal teas, capsules, powders and flakes that had been seized by Australian border officials found that some contained plant agents such as Aristolochic acid, which can cause urinary tract and kidney cancer, and also the herb ephedra, which is potentially poisonous. Furthermore, some of the 68 different plant agencies that scientists identified could be toxic if taken in sufficient quantitiesgbut the amounts of each ingredient were not listed on the outside packacing. Lead researcher Michael Bunce, a Murdoch University Australian Research Council Future Fellow, also noted that one product whose packaging said it was "100 percent Saiga antelope" actually contained quantities of goat and sheep DNA in notable amounts.
Bear paws, as well as bear bile and the animal's genitalia, are sought after in TCM to treat ailments including cancer, arthritis and impotence. The market for TCM treatments is such that people have recently been caught attempting to smuggle animal parts out of and into China. In 2011, a man from British Columbia was seized with three severed bear paws that he was trying to take to China via the Vancouver International Airport. In January, authorities including the Forestry Police at the Chongqing Airport seized ten severed bear paws. The paws were found in cartons said to being used for shipping seafood and belonging to a logistics company. Photos of the authorities opening the containers and of the bear paws — rear legs severed at the joints — are posted at China Smack.
China needs to take greater efforts and crack down on those who use endangered animals in TCM. As these remedies have been used for so long in China, it is also necessary to educate people in China that such treatments are of highly questionable efficacy and are often not safe. Even more, the U.S. and other countries need to step up efforts to test TCM products and warn consumers that what the packaging says can often be very different from what an herbal tea, powder or pill is actually made of.

China + animal abuse? Not a surprise. Those people should be exterminated.
Signed the petition. Why doesn't it surprise me. A race of people who refuse to be compassionate to animals.
It has just been reported that thousands of pills filled with powdered human baby flesh have been discovered by customs officials in South Korea. The capsules are viewed as being a medicinal cure-all. The grim trade is being run from China where corrupt medical staff are said to be tipping off medical companies when babies are aborted or delivered still-born.
already signed but thanks for sharing :)
I'm just so glad that I don't have to rely on taking Chinese medicine! Thanks for posting!
Well - I have read the comments and see that there are a few people that understand the use of Homeopathic medicines have a place in treating certain illnesses. I am all for that. However, I cannot condone the use of ANY animal parts especially animals which are now on the brink of extinction. The Chinese have brought this upon themselves by systematically obliterating various animals in Asia and are now in the process of doing the same in Africa. This is MY planet as well and I cannot abide the arrogance and disrespect that the Chinese have for it.
Signed and shared! Sick of chinese people and their "medicinal" stuff!
To the racist Carol K. (who condemns whole populations in the blink of an eye)
If you took time to do a little research, you would know that 95% of ALL raw materials for modern medicine is manufactured in either China, Japan or Korea. Anything boasting 'Made in USA' simply means that the packaging is manufactured in the USA (nutritional manufacturers and retailers in the USA are not required to disclose on their product labels where their nutritional raw materials are manufactured).
Here is some more info on the subject:
I agree wholeheartedly with Philip A. and Bryon S.
A friend of my uncle's came down with an illness that traditional doctors (you know, the ones controlled by Big Pharma) could not cure and eventually a second opinion told him to visit a chinese doctor. He was given a mixture of three herbs and told to take them and return in three weeks. When he returned, the chinese doctor took away one of the herbs and replaced it with another and he was told to take that for another three weeks. IT CURED HIM. We are too quick to presume that our traditional methods are the best(they are far from it). These chinese doctors have been practicing these methods for centuries and in many many cases have proven to be effective.
We are criticizing their use of animal byproducts and toxic substances and although I don't necessarily agree with it I don't see why we don't criticize the use use of them in Homeopathic medicines(everybody seems to be OK with that). Yes, homeopathic remedies often use things like snake's blood, eagle's feathers, and oh yes the common Arnica with is a poisonous plant that in certain quantities kills us in excruciating pain and yet homeopathic medicine sells it for pain relief. ???

Byron S. writes a very important comment. I have a friend, a former student of mine, who is fully qualified in both Western and Chinese medicine. All the latter potions he prescribes are the parts of plants, chiefly roots. I've consulted him often, but what I most recall is his treatment of a young woman I sent to him. At 23, she had had shingles continuously for five years, and I am sure that women reading this will see the implications to that also re her social life. He sent her with a note to a Chinese herbal store and she came away with a parcel of herbs and roots, including Astragalis, now a focus of Western researchers. In three weeks the shingles was gone; my last sight of her was with her arms round Dr. Wang sobbing and saying 'thank you' over and over again. It has now been found that Astragalis is a natural source in Interferon, with great potential in the treatment of diseases such as MS and a virus inhibitor -- which would explain its effect on Shingles. As Byron says, let us distinguish and not demonize all Chinese medicine.

Notice of Funding Availability for 2016 CDBG & HOME Funds
2015 Action Plan Draft and Executive Summary
Citizen Participation Plan Update
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program is federally funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). This program provides eligible metropolitan cities and urban counties with annual grants to be used for neighborhood revitalization, affordable housing, to expand economic opportunities, and/or improve community facilities and services. All projects and programs must principally benefit low-and moderate-income persons.
The priorities for CDBG are determined by City Council, thus allowing local government to respond to needs within their community. Current priorities for the City of Vancouver's CDBG Program include: revitalizing eligible neighborhoods, providing services to low-to-moderate persons, and upgrading public facilities to provide Americans with Disability Act (ADA) compliance and providing affordable housing to low/mod citizens. The city also encourages projects and programs assisted by other funding sources to help leverage the CDBG allocation.The City of Vancouver receives approximately 1.3 million annually to disperse among applications. Funds are awarded yearly on a competitive basis to programs or projects that are selected and approved by City Council.
40 Years of CDBG- Program Accomplishments
Federal HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME)
HOME is the largest Federal block grant to State and local governments designed exclusively to create affordable housing for low-income households. Each year it allocates approximately $2 billion among the States and hundreds of localities nationwide.
HOME funds may be applied to a broad range of eligible activities such as providing home purchase or rehabilitation financing assistance to eligible homeowners and new homebuyers; build or rehabilitate housing for rent or ownership; or for "other reasonable and necessary expenses related to the development of non-luxury housing," including site acquisition or improvement, demolition of dilapidated housing to make way for HOME-assisted development, and payment of relocation expenses. HOME funds may be applied to provide tenant-based rental assistance contracts of up to 2 years if such activity is consistent with an approved Consolidated Plan and justified under local market conditions.
HOME Program Accomplishments
Fair Housing
HUD defines fair housing choice as "the ability of persons of similar incomes to have available to them the same housing choices regardless of race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status or national origin. Policies, practices or procedures that appear neutral on their face but operate to deny or adversely affect the provisions of housing to persons (in any particular protected class) may constitute such impediments."
The City of Vancouver developed an Analysis of Impediments to fair housing choice in 2012.
The report includes:
- A review of a City's laws, regulations, and administrative policies, procedures and practices;
- An assessment of how those laws, policies and practices affect the location availability and accessibility of housing; and
- An assessment of public and private sector conditions affecting fair housing choice.
CDBG Plans and ReportsThe City's 2014-2019 Consolidated Plan provides an analysis of community needs and establishes priority objectives and long-range strategies to guide the allocation of housing and community development resources.

In 1989, Minnesota lawyer Stu Webb, disappointed with court-based outcomes in divorce and disillusioned with legal practice had an "Aha!" moment. By creating a structure that removes lawyers from the adversarial model and turns them into problem-solvers, they could help their clients achieve better results. He developed the concept, and in 1990 Collaborative Law was born.
Since that humble beginning in 1990, Collaborative Law has expanded across the United States and internationally, with over 10,000 professionals trained in the process. Collaborative Law is a dispute resolution process where all professionals have the sole objective of working with the parties to reach resolution. When clients choose the Collaborative Law process, their lawyers are hired as settlement-only lawyers and are disqualified from representing the clients in any adversarial process, whether court or arbitration. All professionals learn a new structure and skills for an effective process that helps clients reach lasting agreements while maintaining their dignity. Collaborative Law is especially suited to resolve disputes where the parties will have ongoing relationship (whether as parents, business partners, or family members) or wish to resolve their disputes while maintaining a high level of personal integrity.
What does Collaborative Law look like? Here's a VIDEO.
Some of the benefits of Collaborative Law include:
- The process is highly successful. Research shows a success rate of about 90% and that afterwards 78% of clients feel "satisfied" or "very satisfied" with the process.
- Collaborative law creates much less "collateral damage" to parties than an adversarial process does.
- In many cases, the likelihood of future conflicts between the parties is significantly reduced.
- Parties are more vested in the outcome and satisfied than with an imposed decision.
- Professionals are often more satisfied, being freed up from posturing to instead working towards real and lasting solutions for their clients.
Oftentimes in Collaborative divorces, professionals work jointly in teams that include a lawyer for each party, and other professionals that include a financial professional, divorce coach/coaches, and child specialist, so that the parties can make the best decisions with solid professional support. Key features of Collaborative Law are:
- Each party has an attorney who is trained and qualified in the Collaborative Law process.
- The attorneys are retained for the sole purpose of helping the parties reach an agreement. If the process ends without reaching agreement, then both parties need to obtain new counsel. The attorneys are disqualified from representing the parties in any related adversarial proceeding.
- At the outset of the process, the parties commit to certain agreements, intended to enhance the likelihood of reaching agreement. Those agreements include refraining from certain behaviors to providing full transparency of information that might be material to the dispute to the role of counsel.
- The parties work together in dialogues facilitated by the professionals to systematically work towards agreement. The parties have full professional support at all times.
- The process is voluntary at all times and confidential.
- The professionals use a client-centered, facilitative conflict resolution skills in working with the parties.
Among the minimum standards for Collaborative practitioners promulgated by the IACP are training in Collaborative Law and in client-centered, facilitative conflict resolution, of the kind typically taught in mediation training (interest-based, narrative, or transformative mediation programs.) Our Basic Collaborative Law Training is the foundational training to get you started.

moreBy far the most popular topic among Men's Health magazine readers is muscle building. Young or middle-aged, men equate muscle with power, success, and sexual attractiveness. And a new generation of young men is hungry for a definitive guidebook that shows them the steps to the bodybuilding stage.
For decades, the seminal work has been Arnold Schwarzenegger's Encyclopedia of Modern Bodybuilding, but GenY is ready for a fresh new guidebook that takes a healthier approach to bodybuilding written by the poster boy for clean eating and natural homegrown muscle, Tyler English, whose youth, long hair and tats, and unorthodox bootcamp workouts will appeal to young lifters.
At the heart of English's book is a 16-to-24-week course of weight lifting and nutrition that will shed body fat and trigger explosive muscle growth. Exercise by exercise, meal by meal, the reader is shown precisely what to do to build a competition-ready body. But even if the reader simply wants to look his best on the beach, this book will reveal the secret techniques that bodybuilders use to achieve hard, rippling muscle. less

MCF: Dire Grove Speculation Gone Wild!
With the release of the Mystery Case Files: Dire Grove sizzle reel, speculation about the game has accelerated dramatically. Every MCF game has had secrets buried within and MCF: Dire Grove is likely no different. The question is, how much was shared in the sizzle reel? Big Fish Games' Studios is tight lipped regarding what is or is not in the video (they responded to my desperate pleas with slightly evil smiles). That being the case, it is up to us to contemplate, speculate, conjecture, and guess at what the video is trying to tell us. I've captured the most intriguing posts from the Dire Grove Speculation forum thread for you to take a look at. You'll be interested to know I ran these by Studios and they looked a little nervous...keep the posts coming! tunaontoast on Nov 10, 09 1:03 PMOK, car in the video has a license plate which is...JXH2M6.....any suggestions ???? emmyjayne on Nov 10, 09 1:14 PMWhen the grad student is making her presentation it looks like the slide shown on the screen is a grave yard (with Celtic cross headstones).

Mystery Case Files: Dire Grove Sizzle Reel Released
"In the Fall of 2009, four graduate students traveled to a small township near Blackpool, England. They were never heard from again." With these words we begin the latest journey in the Mystery Case Files series. The release of Mystery Case Files: Dire Grove is just around the corner and Big Fish Games' Studios is proud to share the Dire Grove sizzle reel with you. Head over to the Official Mystery Case Files site to see the video and gain insight into where the Mystery Case Files series is going...or not... The video is likely as much of a surprise to you as it was to us. Big Fish Games' Studios is never one to be redundant. Each new installment to the Mystery Case Files game series has taken the series to a new level. This was especially true with Mystery Case Files: Return to Ravenhearst. It appears Studios intends to the same with Mystery Case Files: Dire Grove. The sizzle reel clearly hints at the Mystery Case Files series heading in an interesting new direction by incorporating actual video footage into the game. As always, specific game details are under wraps at this point so we're not entirely sure, but we'll try to dig for more information regarding where and how this footage is woven into game play.
Big Fish Games Gobbles Up Pac-Man
It isn't often we discuss game releases here in the blog, however, Pac-Man is no ordinary game release. Originally released in Japan on May 10, 1980, Pac-Man was the brain child of Namco's Toru Iwatani. He, along with a meager team of six would create what would become one of the most influential video games in history. The early success of Pac-Man was enough to interest arcade-game manufacturer Midway who purchased the rights to release the game in the United States later that year. Pac-Man would go on to generate over a billion dollars in revenue in the first year alone. What set Pac-Man apart from other video games, however, was its ability to reach across gender lines. At the time, video game arcades were popping up in nearly every downtown district. On the shoulders of Asteroids, Space Invaders, Galaxian, and Defender, arcades were thriving due to the a steady stream of male gamers eager to do battle in outer space.
