Current Packers DE Hargrove says it's not his voice in clip about Saints bounty program
There are 94 comments on the WTMJ-AM Milwaukee story from Jun 19, 2012, titled Current Packers DE Hargrove says it's not his voice in clip about Saints bounty program. In it, WTMJ-AM Milwaukee reports that:
Former Saints and current Packers defensive end Anthony Hargrove says it's not his voice saying "Give me the money" in a video used by the NFL as evidence in its investigation of the New Orleans bounty program.
Join the discussion below, or Read more at WTMJ-AM Milwaukee.

Why would Hargrove expect payment for a hit that he wasn't involved in? The third-quarter hit that injured Favre's ankle came at the hands of McCray and defensive tackle Remi Ayodele.
I think the NFL and Roger Goodell may have jumped to a foolish conclusion. I bet the NFL doesn't shorten the suspension, even if they are wrong. That is the problem with having Goodell as the prosecutor, judge and appeals judge.
#2 Jun 20, 2012
Even if Goodell missed it,he seem light on punishment by shortening,which is a shame IF Hargrove or any of the guys are not guilty,they should not be suspended and should recieve an appology from the NFL,BUT,If Hargrove or any of the guys are guilty,then it has to be done,but, they are getting paid to hurt players anyway,its the NFL and the game plan is to HIT and ( sometimes unfortunately injure) its opponents( qb,RB,WR ect)Anthony Hargrove swore on his career that it was not his voice on that tape,so i hope hes right with a challenge like that.
#3 Jun 20, 2012
Either it isn't Hargrove's voice and the NFL accused the wrong person, or it is and he can't logcally be asking for money for injuring Favre, beause he didn't even hit him on that play. Either way, the NFL looks like idiots! If that is the NFL's best proof of a bounty program that paid players to injure targeted players, Goodell is in trouble wih that Vilma lawsuit. I haven't seen anything that proves a bounty program like Goodell has accused the Saints of running. There is no doubt the Saints had a game performance bonus system, but it may well be true they didn't arget players for injury. Goodell has used the allegation of targeting players for injury to support the suspensions. If that isn't true, I certainly believe the suspensions are too long. Plus, the Packers had their own game performance bonus program. I don't like that Goodell can punish based upon allegations and accusations without proof. Who knows which team will be next.
#4 Jun 20, 2012
I just wonder how many teams have pools amung the players ( each guy kicks in a certain amount for a specific thing,may it be most tackles,sacks,forced T.O.) or maybe hard hits ect.and N.O. just happened to be the team that got popped with it.
Also,where else can you go? IF you can pop players and teams for a bounty program,how about a friendly bet between players?
( for instance the super bowl in Jan 11,when Scott Walker ( wis) bet some cheese with Penn.gov ernor ( who bet a Philly cheesesteak) on the SB and if its ok for 2 governors to bet on the SB,why not let a player bet with another player they are playing against,,so where does it end or where can they go with any of it?
#5 Jun 20, 2012
in other words if GB was playing Minn,so a GB player bet a Minn player each betting on their respective teams. and not betting on other games or other teams where it can be thrown,point is,I wonder if side bets are made between players.and if so,what the NFL would do since betting is a big NO,but, Players bet in vegas on other things id think..
Pete Rose betting on Baseball nailed him,he said he always bet on the Reds but in a game Pete didnt bet,it can be thought Pete didnt bet on the Reds that night because of injury and or he didnt like the odds so it can be read that way as well,,Just many thoughts
#6 Jun 20, 2012
I actually support the NFL getting rid of ANY game performance bouses, incentives, pools, bets, bouties, payments, or anythig else youmight call them. I see them as a form of betting and I agree with the NFL's zero tolerance policy on betting. I don't agree with one person controlling access eo the results of an investigation and then being allowed to characterize the results any way he wants. Goodell does have a motive to APPEAR to be doing something about player safety, since the NFL is being sued. By making it look like the players are viscious and he's the nice guy, he may hope that jurors will forget that the NFL told players for the first 90 years to shake off that concussion and get back in the game. The VERY RECENT emphasis on player safety has never seemed very genuine to me. The fact that Goodell has tied "bounties" to safety is misleading to begin with. Just watch, the hitting and injuries will not decrease in the slightest after the NFL eliminates bounties and game performance bonus programs.
#7 Jun 20, 2012
Watching the video it does really seem like Hargrove said pay me my money. You can hear and see him say Bobby but you dont see who said pay me my money. I think it was Remi Ayodele his body language fits the video perfectly this the sound. He leans over to the left towards another player then you hear pay me my money and he leans back the other way. Plus Ayodele was responcible for the hit that injured Favre not Hargrove.
Former New Orleans Saints defensive lineman Earl Heyman concurs that Hargrove was not the player who said "pay me my money" in video evidence the NFL presented this week. Heyman said he was standing behind the conversation that took place and knows who actually said it.
It probably doesnt matter if Rodger wants to take Hargrove down he will. What is anyone gonna do about it.

Anthony Hargrove has been suspended 2 times in the past..this is his third time. Wake up. So he didn't know anything about a bounty program that was in place and that the coaches have apologized for? So the coaches had a bounty program but no players were involved? So it was a fantasy bounty system? If a player got $10,000 for ending AR's career you would be singing a different tune. You should be happy they got caught and stopped before something like that happened. You should wake up and see what the difference is for getting paid to play the sport and getting paid under the table to injure and mame another player. Ever hear of sportsmanship? Guess it was ok for suh to stomp on a packer when he was down? So you believed him when he said he didn't do it. He should get an apology from the NFL with your way of thinking.
#9 Jun 20, 2012
Okay. It was other Saints players that injured Favre. And it was one of them that said "Pay me my money." Then why did Ayodele and McCray get no suspension while Hargrove got 8 games? I have never questioned Goodell's right to punish the involved players. In fact, I believe he should, but the punishments should not be unfair or arbitrary.
#10 Jun 20, 2012
i THOUGHT it was pretty clear pakluv1.Hargrove swears hes innocent and so if he is,the NFL should apologize,if Hargrove is guilty then the punishment should stand but either way players are getting paid to injure players anyway.Look how hard defensive players are hitting offensive players.Dlineman and LB take pride in hitting the qb hard and they get paid for it.
Suh stomping on someone arm while they are down and the play is over is different then hitting BF hard but clean.IF they had a program,they should be nailed if guilty,but, again, players are being paid now and im sure a good chunk of defensive players take pride in laying in good,powerful hits on qb,RB or WR is the point.
#11 Jun 20, 2012
Thanks. I thought the Bears were trying to take out our QB every game they play. Now that Anthony Hargrove has been unfairly accused and punished, I guess Aaron Rodgers is safe from those Bear pussies. They won't be able to hit him hard now that Hargrove was blamed for something he didn't do.
BTW I do believe Hargrove and any other player unfairly punished by Goodell (ever) should receive an apology. I'm sure Goodell would never be man enough to do that, but it doesn't change the fact that he owes them an apology. And I never said he didn't know about a game performance bonus system. It is clear he knew that some kind of payments were being made and received. However, he didn't hurt Favre and there is no evidence Favre was targeted. You might like it when someone gets blamed and punished for what other people did, but I don't think that is fair.

When he doesn't know anything about a bounty system that his coach is on tape preaching and the defense is based around he is lying. The coach apologized for the bounty system. Any player that says he didn't know about it is full of crap.So I don't believe them when it comes to details of who said what. No credibility.

So when williams was coaching this system that he has admitted too...hargove was a sleep? On sunday's when the game is being played and they are playing the bounty system and they are all talking about the hits and the cash for the hits....he doesn't know what they are talking about? Never heard of it? Maybe he is still on drugs? wow.
#15 Jun 20, 2012
MY POINT was the fairness issue and the accuracy of Goodell's allegations. Hargrove didn't injure Favre, so he certainly wasn't paid for injuring him. If that is the basis for suspending him 8 weeks then why did the players that actually injured Favre get no suspensions?
And Goodell has said the players targeted other players, and people like you accept that without any proof. Williams apologized, but he never aplogized for a "bounty system." Any game performance bonuses are against the rules and would explain the reason he apologized. However, it is clear that people consider a bounty program something more, and if Williams ever said the Saints had a "bounty program" I would love to see it. Williams is heard firing up his players, but he never says anything about paying them money to take out any players. In fact, I haven't seen any evidence that proves players were targeted. And even IF there is evidence of a "bounty program" the punishments should be fair. You act as though every person that heard Williams pregame speech is guilty. Guilty of what? Hearing him? Well then why were only 4 punished? Apparently, Goodell disagrees with you.
#16 Jun 20, 2012
I'm sure the players were awake. Are you saying that only 4 Saints players were awake while Williams was coaching? Obviously Goodell didn't suspend for merely knowing of the program, unless you think only 4 players knew. Goodell has made specific allegations against these players. The clip of Hargrove ALLEGEDLY saying "pay me the money" was obviously meant to suggest he was paid to injure Favre, but since he didn't even hit him that play, it is pretty clear that the NFL is putting out some very misleading info. Why? Why use such deceptive tactics? If they have good evidence, why not use that?

Hargrove also said he didn't know anything about a bounty system. Every player,owner, coach knew about this bounty system. Hargrove is a drug addict.2 very long suspensions . That is a fact. Goodell is not a drug addict. The NFL is a money making product that Goodell over sees. The last thing he wants to do is damage the product. So he must have had some good proof to have to bring this out in the open. You guys deserve a drug addict player that has never been any good.

Did you hear the tape of williams talking about hurting players? Listen to it. You probably still will not get it. So you think betting between governors is the same as a bounty system to ruin the career of another player? Wow. but than again you think you are an owner of an nfl team. I'm surprised eric, thought you had a little more class then that. Well I hope AR gets paralyzed for the rest of he's life by SUH. I hope it's a late hit. AR lifeless on the field at lamebeau, jumbo tron playing the late hit over and over. Game delayed. season over. AR life changed forever. That would be worth $10,000.
#19 Jun 20, 2012
WOW,first you miss my point and end with the most unsportsmanlike statement on the planet.Way to show some class!
#20 Jun 20, 2012
Sportsmanship,with a statement like that.
So exactly what point did you miss?
This morning Hargrove swore on his career he didnt participate in the program...Saying that....Alls i said was,since he put his career on the line,If hes correct,the NFL should appologise,IF hes knew and is lying,then the NFL should nail him,,im sorry you didnt get it,Its not classless but again,ending a statement the way you did,takes a ton of credibility from you,thats pathetic and sad.

NetBeans with JBoss Setup BlogPosted by ddevore in ddevore on Jan 6, 2006 4:59:00 AM
This guide describes the setup necessary to setup NetBeans IDE 5.0 work with JBoss in preparation for developing EJBs and Web Services targeting the JBoss runtime. Once you have completed the instructions in this setup guide you will be able to create and consume EJBs and Web Services with the JBoss application server through NetBeans IDE 5.0. This will also allow you to do it all without doing any manual deployments to the JBoss application server. For more information on creating and consuming EJBs and Web Services for the JBoss server through NetBeans IDE 5.0, please see the other guides for NetBeans IDE 5.0 and JBoss.
At the time of writing this guide NetBeans IDE was in version 5.0 Beta. This guide was written using the latest development build #200601052030 to take advantage of the bug fixes since NetBeans IDE 5.0 went into beta. Also, NetBeans officially supports JBoss Application Server 4.0.3, but due to business requirements I have to use JBoss Application Server 4.0.1. So, this guide will walk through the JBoss Application Server 4.0.1 setup as well as the JBoss 4.0.3 setup.
Download Required Files
First you need to download the files needed for setup. You will need JDK 5.0, NetBeans IDE 5.0 (latest build), JBoss Application Server 4.0.3, and Sun Java System Application Server Platform Edition 8.1.
The latest JDK 5.0 can be downloaded from here http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp. Download the latest update of the JDK. NOTE: Until NetBeans IDE 5.0 reaches final release, do not download the NetBeans IDE / JDK bundle from this page because the version of NetBeans IDE on this page is currently the final release version of NetBeans IDE 4.1. This document covers JBoss setup with NetBeans IDE 5.0 Beta version.
NetBeans IDE Version 5.0
The NetBeans 5.0 version IDE can be downloaded from the NetBeans web site at http://www.netbeans.info/downloads/download.php?a=n&p=1. You will need the latest daily build or release, which ever is newer for, version 5.0 or the 5.0 version once it has reached final release. Select the NetBeans IDE installerfrom the list.
JBoss Application Server 4.0.3sp1
The JBoss application server can be downloaded from SourceForge at http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=22866&package_id=16942. Please select version JBoss version 4.0.3sp1. This guide may work with earlier versions of JBoss, but they have not been tested.
Sun Java System Application Server 8.1 Platform Edition
The Sun Java System Application Server 8.1 Platform Edition is needed to create services correctly since JBoss currently does not fully support JAX-RPC. This can be downloaded at http://java.sun.com/j2ee/1.4/download.html#sdk. Select the separate bundles Sun Java System Application Server Platform Edition 8.1 2005Q2 UR2.
Although the order of installation could be done alternatively, the suggested and easiest installation is too; install the JDK first then install the NetBeans IDE 5.0. Then, proceed to install the JBoss Application Server and Sun Java System Application Server. Make note of the admin name and password you enter when you install the Sun Java System Application Server. You will need the admin name and password when you register the application server in the NetBeans IDE a little later in this guide. If you are using the JBoss installer make sure you choose the all option A full J2EE server profile with enterprise extensions. Then select the options needed for your installation. For this guide the default options were selected.
NOTE: The JBoss installer is an executable jar file to run this file use
java jar jar_file_name
Setting Up Your Environment Setting up the environment is only needed if you plan to build the project outside the NetBeans environment. The environment setup shown here is geared toward the Windows platform. If you are using another operating system please make changes as appropriate. Also, the settings can all be set in the system properties. For setting the variables in the system properties go to the Control Panel and open the System dialog then go to the advanced tab and select Environment Variables. Here you can add the variables in the user or system variables.
To do this, set the environment variable ANT_HOME to the directory where you have Ant installed. If you have not installed Ant, then set ANT_HOME to <NETBEANS_INSTALL_DIR>\ide6\ant. Then add ANT_HOME\bin to your PATH environment variable. For my installation I have NetBeans installed in C:\Program Files\netbeans-5.0dev so for me the correct setting would be.
set JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_05
set ANT_HOME= C:\Program Files\netbeans-5.0dev\ide6\ant set PATH=%PATH%;ANT_HOME\bin
If you have ant installed and would like to use it instead of the version provided by NetBeans change the ANT_HOME above appropriately.
NetBeans Setup
Once you have NetBeans started, go to the Runtime tab at the top of the navigation pane and expand the Servers node you will notice the only server listed is a bundled Tomcat server. Right click on the Servers node and select Add Server. This will by default select the Sun Java System Application Server as the server. Since that is one that we want to add click Next. Enter the location for the installation for the server in the next screen and click Next. Enter the proper information in the next screen for the admin name and password and click Finish. The admin name and password to enter here are the admin name and password you entered during the installation of the Sun Java System Application Server.
JBoss Server Setup
The JBoss setup about the same as the Sun Server setup, but because of the different server versions there are some things that must be considered when registering a JBoss Application Server with the NetBeans IDE. In the NetBeans IDE, first right click on the Server node in the runtime tab and select Add Server. Select JBoss Application Server 4.0.3 and click Next, since this is the only JBoss setup available you must select it no matter what version of JBoss you are using; again this has been tested with JBoss 4.0.3sp1 only. Enter the installation directory for the JBoss server such as c:\jboss-4.0.3sp1 and click Next. Select the domain; it defaults to 'default'. If you are using JBoss 4.0.3 the port number is read from the configuration file and put in the port field automatically and cannot be changed in the dialog. If you are using a JBoss installation previous to JBoss 4.0.3sp1 the configuration is not read in and will only work with the default settings. If you wish to change the port numbers for JBoss 4.0.3sp1, look in:
On line 12 you will see the definition for the JBoss port number,
Change the Connector Port to your desired port number. I suggest you change this port number or the Sun Java System Application Server port number because of conflicts with the listening port. By default, both JBoss and Sun Java System Application Server listen to port number 8080. If you are using a previous version of JBoss you cannot change the default port number if you are going to deploy directly from NetBeans. If you do not change the JBoss Application Server or Sun Application Server port number please be careful when deploying the applications since you may experience some unexpected behavior such as deployments not being successful. You need to be sure you do not have both application servers running at the same time if the ports are not changed on either server.
To save yourself some potential deployment issues with using JBoss version 4.0.3, it is easiest to change the JBoss port number via the JBoss server.xml file as described above.
Server Setup
About a month ago there were some changes which made changes to the server unnecessary. So what this means is that JBoss 4.0.3sp1 works out of the box. After the server is setup in NetBeans you can deploy and test with the JBoss 4.0.3sp1 server. Keep in mind though that JBoss 4.0.3sp1 does not support documentliteral correctly for web services so if you are developing web services please insure that you set them to rpcliteral.
This is all there is to the setup for working with NetBeans and JBoss. Once this is done you can create and consume EJBs and Web Services with the JBoss application server through NetBeans IDE 5.0. This will also allow you to do it all without doing any manual deployments to the JBoss application server. For more information on creating and consuming EJBs and Web Services for the JBoss server through NetBeans IDE 5.0, please see upcoming blogs for NetBeans IDE 5.0 and JBoss.

Regular blogging can allow for a more detailed, expert opinion than traditional print stories, Reuter's Felix Salmon pointed out earlier this month. However, live blogging is different. It depends on information given right now, usually without analysis or heavy wording.
The form has become popular in the news industry as stories in Africa and Japan unfold. Readers have embraced the medium, bringing a huge surge in traffic and comments. The Guardian reported that live blogs account for 3.6 million unique visitors, 9 percent of the site's traffic. But as this style grows in prevalence, media experts and enthusiasts debate its pros and cons.
The cons are more obvious. With a constant live feed, readers can get lost in the story. The feeds are short and simple. For example, BBC New's live blog for Libya posted, "1031: Thirteen injured Libyans have been taken to Istanbul for treatment, a Turkish charity says. On Saturday, Turkey's deputy prime minister told a newspaper that the country was planning to treat about 450 wounded Libyans." Reading this alone, readers have no idea why the Libyans were injured, or how, or when, or even where. They just know that they have been injured and are being taken to Turkey.
This problem is exactly what The Louse and the Flea blog addressed in an entry entitled "The Guardian Newsblog and the Death of Journalism." The blog writer, a journalist, argues that live blogging takes away those main questions of journalism: who, what, when, where, why and how. He said, "You were left asking more questions than were answered [after reading the live blog]. Which makes a mockery of the journalist's craft."
It's true that live blogging reports the basics of live events and doesn't allow much room for expanding or linking back to other events, but the medium has its advantages. News can be posted quickly and without any flowery wording. The journalist has to get exactly to the point. The Guardian also pointed out the ease of posting Twitter and Facebook comments, videos and pictures, and linking to other things that give a more comprehensive view than a mere article.
Live blogs have proven their versatility. While they're useful during breaking stories like the tsunami in Japan and the revolution in Libya, they have other uses. Shorter, more defined events can be live blogged, giving readers instant access instead of making them wait until the event concludes. For example, they can take place during talks and speeches, such as the one Poynter plans on having today while Martin Nisenholtz, the New York Time's senior vice president for digital operations plans on giving a talk at a Dallas convention. During President Obama's State of the Union address in January, the Huffington Post had a live blog fact-checking everything he said. The Guardian has a politics live blog that breaks news from UK politics as it happens.
With its growing popularity, media outlets are searching for ways to make it more useful and easy to follow. BBC News has a "key points" section to keep readers from getting lost. Other news outlets acknowledge the importance of moderation in the comments sections to keep things from getting out of hand.
Time will tell if live blogs truly are, as the Guardian's Matt Wells claims, "surely the embodiment of [journalism's] future."

Schilling reduces home price by $500,000
MEDFIELD, Mass. —
Former Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling may be having some trouble selling his home in Medfield.
According to the Boston Globe, the asking price for the home was reduced to $2.5 million down from $3 million.
Schilling bought the home from former New England Patriots quarterback Drew Bledsoe in 2004 for $4.5 million.
Schilling says he lost $50 million of his own money after his video game company 38 Studios went bankrupt.

Nirvana: All Apologies Meaning
Song Released: 1993
All Apologies Lyrics
All apologies
What else could I say
Everyone is gay
What else could I write
I don't have the RIGHT
What else should I be
All apologies

In the sun I feel as one
In the sun

This song is written for Frances and Courtney but has nothing to do with them. The song is about Kurt's loss of interest with the rock and roll world, an apology for all the fake passion. Lyrics like aqua sea foam shame refers probaly to his shame of how commercial Nevermind was. Though, that's what he wanted of his inner conflict with the world this was Kurt's way of saying goodbye.

Kurt Cobain never really said the true meanings of his song. People have come up with many different opinions about its meaning and all of them can be true, but the truth is no one will ever know the true meaning of this song unless he told them. My opinion which I think is also a very good opinion is that Kurt Cobain never wanted to become a mainstream band. He just wanted to be a little garage band having fun, singing, playing guitar with his friends… He obviously eventually did and I think that's why he wrote it. He wrote this song right before he died and I think he wrote because of his lost in interest with the band. In the song I think he expresses a lot sorrow and pain for Courtney Love and all his fans such as the lyrics "aqua seafoam shame, and sunburn with frezerburn". I think this song means that he's sorry for letting everyone down, that he's sorry for ruining Courtney Love's life and he doesn't know a better way of telling the world how he feels then by doing what he does best, writing music.

It's about how he got Courtney Love hooked on drugs.
easily amused--when high
my nest of salt--its his drug she found
his fault--it was his fault she is hooked
take the blame--he knows she first did it with him
aqua seafoam shame--describeing his guilt--he is blue
sunburn with freezer burn--when she is high his guilt makes him feel bad, he becomes...
"freezer burned"--ashamed--blue/cold
ashes of her enemy--proof he knows drugs do her harm
all in all is all we are--they are both stars who are hooked on drugs....
He actually explains his guilt in the first verse...but that is done vaguely
anonymous Jul 7th, 7:46am report
This song might have been released in 1993 when Kurt had Courtney and Frances but the song was actually written in the 1980's (see early acoustic version on the With the Lights Out box set). In reality this is Kurt finally giving up on society. He was simply a victim of society like so many of us are. We can't find any way out from our lives. I can't pretend to know why Kurt killed himself, but it seems like "all alone is all we are" like he sang at Mtv unplugged. In our loneliness we say our goodbyes and we don't look back.
saxKing Apr 26th, 4:02pm report
Everyone knows what most of the lyrics mean, that they are telling of Kurt's guilt for his overall life choices and all. However, most people don't try to tackle the last lyric and I think 'all we know is all we are' is telling Frances to stay in school, unlike he did, because otherwise he would have perhaps have became something that has a more lasting impact, like a scientist or a chemist, and he wants Frances to know that how educated you are determines whether you are just another person or a true hero.
-Remember Kurt Cobain 1967-1994, such a sad song.

About believing and feeling you're one in all with all the people and the gods as one in the SUN, god Apollo of the old that has been slowly dragged down by LOVE again in the cycle of life and death. Willing to take the blame for burning anybody throughout the ages and the present time to become a fallen god, unknown to most, where ''All Apologies'' were given to his loved ones, being as one in the SUN with him for just a short moment in time. Always R.I.P KURT COBAIN

If you listen to the song, I think that you will see that it is written in sort of a sarcastic sense. Somebody was giving Kurt Cobain shit about what he was doing, and saying, and he is calling them on it. He is saying that he isn't going to sugarcoat anything and that is what I love about him. He isn't going to lie, he is telling people how it is! Thanks for reading! I <3 NIRVANA!!
anonymous Nov 17th, 2014 11:34pm report
I think that he was trying to say that he can only be himself and that's all he'll ever be. and he is saying that he can't change himself and he's stating maybe sarcastically that he's sorry that he can't change himself.
keith Oct 18th, 2014 10:09pm report
Fact- this song was written in-1990 look it up.trust me I was alive then. This is way before his death, marriage, or being raped by music industry.
although Kurt was just fine with you interpreting his lyrics the way you wanted, he did have personal meaning to songs- even if they weren't always "deep". He didnt feel he "have the right" to tell you how to feel when he didnt even know how to feel anymore
Sometimes he used words that sounded good in ways that only he understood, but that doesn't mean you cant decipher some of hos lyrics.
This song is about a couple of things. You have to look at in context tho.
First, he is saying sorry. Sorry he cant be happy/"easily amused" like he believes most are with trappings of world.
Second he is sorry/apologizing to people he has hurt (Including himself) from his heroin/use. I'm not proud of it but as an ex heroin addict it is easy to relate.
"Nest of salt" is reference to herion. "Aqua seafoam shame" is guilt of using.
"Sunburn freeze burn" is rock in hard place/fucked situation he got himself into.
He knows"everything is his fault" and he will " take all the blame".
And "all in all/alone" is all he has become, "we" in reference to himself/alterego/boddah. He is "married" to Heroin and he knows he is going to be "burried" by it, in live and death. For this is sorry" all apologies".
Also to note Kurt also suffered from bronchitis and a stomach condition similar to irritable bowel system drone. Look at penroyal's tea ending where he talks about cherry laxatives and antacids. Antacids for stomach laxatives for constipation from heroin use. "Choking on ashes of her enemy" more likely just word play but may have something to due with bronchitis/long term cigarette use. Not sure bout that one.
What I am sure of is you have to use context. Its okay to have YOUR own interpretation. Busy if your going to pass it off as Kurt's be factually accurate at least. True me, depression and heroin/ drug abuse consumed this mans life. His best friend Krist even said reason for his suicide was drug abuse and lack of coping skills, and is has always been accurate in reference to Kurt and doesn't j
speak much about it for over two decades now.
Kurt was talented out the ass. But he wasnt a god. Very imperfect, but refreshingly unique. He looked for way out in drugs but like all of us addicts never find it there.
Its hard to choose life and maybe Kurt no doubt worsened his chemical imbalance by using herion long term. Unfortuanly I have felt that pain and suicide seemed like a viable option . I'm just glad I did t make a permanent situation out of a very intense temporary situation.
May God have mercy on your soul Kurt!
anonymous Aug 31st, 2014 8:43am report
Maybe "sun" is a metaphor for fame. Being in the light of the societies eyes. Everything about your life being illuminated. idk. In some sense he wanted to be famous and liked fame (note: in some sense, implying mixed feelings) so the rest of the lyric (...I feel as one) refers to a fulfilled destiny. "choking on the ashes of her enemy" - his was talking about his own death. He already had suicide in his mind. (Ashes is linked to cremation and therefore to death. Obviously.)Anyway, I need to find less depressing ***** to analyze. lol
anonymous Aug 31st, 2014 8:36am report
I listened to the song a gazillion times and thought probably it is about fame. The ending lyrics "all in all is all we are" maybe meant they/him/the band was summed up and simplified by people. As if he wasn't reaching people and really understanding what he was trying to say. In terms of values or just anything. A lot of his songs give them to open and subjective interpretations more than the work of other artists (you know maybe). He even said some of his lyrics were just "garble, just nonsense" but that's partially true and self-depreciating.
anonymous Jan 15th, 2014 1:54am report
Kurt Cobain was clearly a genius. But, as they say, 'wasted genius is almost a cliche' or --- 'genius is a dime a dozen.' Go to your local college; if you stick around a semester or two, you'll get to know a couple genius' for damn certain. But, if you go to MIT, you'll get to know, unfortunately, such hyper-intelligent imbeciles you'll wish your mother had been an active alcoholic while you were in her womb, thereby eliminating any latent possibility of ever one day getting accepted into MIT in the first place! Phew! How's that for satirical bombast?
I adore the line: "Found my nest of salt/Everything is my fault." As I brilliant creator with Bi-Polar illness he was given to long, infernal bouts with chronic depression--and-the main symptom of chronic depression is excessive guilt. He clearly suffered terribly from time to time and was working it all out with his art. But, the darkness, unfortunately for all of us, overcame him, was just too much for him, and he "Took arms against a sea of troubles/and by opposing end them."--He committed suicide. Such desperate acts are more than a little common among the artistic types. Art is rarely understand by the general populace and this can--or, rather, does quite efficiently--cause extreme alienation and loneliness among most artists--everywhere. But, especially in America where Kanywa West considers himself a musical genius--well, any and all Hip-Hoppers actually consider themselves musically gifted (and are considered so by their terminally adolescent idolaters) and American Idol(ers) are considered true artists!?! WTF!?!
We've all missed out on what Cobain might have done with his prodigious creativity the rest of his life. It's irresistibly thrilling to entertain the possibility of an AfterLife where Kurt, at this very moment, might be collaborating with Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin, not for profit or gain, but for sheer joy.....
"Every Artist is a cannibal/Every poet is a thief/All kill their inspiration and sing about their grief."

Personally, I think it's about killing yourself and feeling depressed and everything that goes along with that, but with lyrical distortion from drugs like marijuana or heroin.

It's an old song. Pre-courtney.

It's about bipolar. After being diagnosed with bipolar as a teen two years ago, I understand with the ups and downs Kurt had. As a huge Nirvana fan, I can relate to pretty much all their songs. In Utero was Nirvana's last song before he killed himself, leaving Frances Bean Cobain and Courtney Love behind. It means...I'm such a spaz...I'm sorry for my mood swings...I'm not good enough...I'm an outcast...I'm leaving you all behind...You'll be better without me...God I love this song. ^^ Oh, and stop saying stuff like "RIP Kurt!" That's like saying "RIP George Washington." -_-
anonymous Aug 31st, 2013 8:20pm report
I think the great thing about Kurt is that he speaks in different ways to different people. This song (my favorite song of all time) means to me to be myself.
What else should I be?
What else should I say?
What else should I write?
I can only be me.
And the feelings people have (especially Kurt) about hating themselves, being depressed, the feelings everybody feels between the ages 7 and 75.
I wish I was like you.
Everything's my fault
I'll take all the blame.
And I think the chorus is about people being happy with themselves
In the sun I feel as one.
anonymous Jul 18th, 2013 7:40pm report
kurt cobain was an idealist ... idealism is connected to narcism ... so I think most of his lyrics are around the same topic ... how people should interact with each other / behave, how the world could or should look like, should should .... he's always trying to find harmony ('ideal state' ~ idealism, narcism) of how things should work or the world should look like ...
however thats not how the world or nature functions, the world and society is composed of egoistic people concentrating on themselves rather on the whole picture. an animal will eat an other animal if it has too ... however ... kurt thinks: 'It's okay to it fish' (song: something in the way)
i think i can see that underlying principles in a lot of his songs , maybe only I do ... narcistic loner that I am
look at his final letter ...
however also recognize that we are livin in a narcistic society, people using and misusing each other ... either you become someone who struggles cause of that, simply being sad or you become a beer-drinking-sexistic, village idiot!!! (one thing kurt once mentioned)
or maybe it's just Attention-defency-syndrom , Kurt suffered from, me suffered from!?
anonymous Apr 5th, 2013 4:19am report
This is my way of interpreting this song:
The first verse is a statement of no longer seeing future in his band, lucking inspiration and not being able to get satisfied by writing music anymore.
I think the sun is refering to happiness, maybe he wants to say that getting married and having a family was the only light in his life.
The second verse is about all his negative feelings. "I wish I was like you easily amused" this lyric is refering to his depression and how it was wearing him down in an extent of wanting to be like everyone else around, happy. "Everything is my fault, I'll take all the blame" he is making clear (to courtney and frances probably, or to everyone) that it's nobody's fault that he is so sad and can't enjoy his life, cause it all comes from within his own mind.
all in all is all we are, i can't get this one.

Lets face it; supplements are fun. They give us an edge, they peak our performance, they elevate our mood, and they help us build muscle, but when it comes down to it, there is a lot of garbage out there that doesnt do any of these things.
Thats why LG Sciences, a scientifically-backed sports supplement company, is here to offer you hardcore supplements that WORK!
Our team strongly believes in the products we put out. Countless hours of research have been spent on each and every product to give our consumers exactly what they need to fit their goals.
So, its time we decided that rather than take our word for it, wed offer a little proof
Formadrol Extreme is our most popular test-boosting product, but we wanted to prove to the skeptics out there that this product truly delivers, and is quite possibly the strongest and most potent natural testosterone booster on the market.
There are lots of products out there that elevate test levels, but not quite like what we see here. I could name some of the top test boosters on the market today, both herbal and steroidal, and I can honestly say Ive never seen blood work come anywhere close to this.
Some background history on the tester:
The tester is a 35yo male that takes part in recreational athletics on a daily basis. Weightlifting, running, and swimming are normal activities. Cycle experience includes two cycles of M-Test 2 (SD, Madol), two cycles of Halodrol, and one cycle of Dianabol.
Baseline Blood Panel Results
After baseline blood work was done, the user began Formadrol Extreme at 2 capsules, 2x daily (2 caps with breakfast, 2 caps with dinner). The user was on absolutely no other supplements during the time of testing. After just 2 weeks on Formadrol Extreme, new blood work was conducted and reflected this astonishing result
Normal to high levels of testosterone usually range from 400-800 ng/dl with free testosterone in the range of 15-25 pg/ml depending on the age and cycle experience of the user, and this user had testosterone of 1383 ng/dl with free testosterone of 33 pg/ml! Thats an amazing 4.2x higher level of free testosterone than his baseline, and 3.6x higher level of total testosterone than baseline! Those are completely unnatural numbers manifested by a completely natural source!
In reference to estrogen, post-Formadrol estrogen blood levels are significantly lower than baseline estrogen levels in proportion to testosterone (Baseline- 6:1 T to E; Post-Formadrol- 14:1 T to E).
Just think what daily use of Formadrol Extreme could have on your muscle building, mood, and sex life!
The answer to naturally boosting testosterone levels beyond your bodys limits is simple and now clearer than ever
LG Sciences Formadrol Extreme!

iShares will be adding four new offerings to its roster of international ETFs linked to MSCI indexes.
The funds currently in registration with the SEC are:
- iShares MSCI Poland Investable Market Index Fund (prospectus)
- iShares MSCI China Small-Cap Index Fund (prospectus)
- iShares MSCI Indonesia Investable Market Index Fund (prospectus)
- iShares MSCI New Zealand Investable Market Index Fund (prospectus)
With the exception of the New Zealand-specific ETF, iShares is not the first to enter any of these markets. Its move testifies to growing investor interest in some of the booming segments of the global ETF space.
Take the iShares Poland fund, for instance. Poland is the largest and fastest-growing economy in central and Eastern Europe—benefiting primarily from a growing consumer base. The iShares ETF will be the second ETF to launch this year addressing the market, following the Market Vectors Poland ETF (NYSEArca: PLND).
The iShares Poland fund will invest in the top tier of Polish-listed companies as measured by market capitalization. As of October, its benchmark comprised 63 names, mostly in the financials, energy and materials sectors.
By comparison, PLND has a much smaller portfolio—just 26 companies—and focuses more on the small- and mid-cap segment of the market.
The iShares China fund will invest in companies that fall in the bottom 14 percent of the Chinese equities market by market capitalization. It will complement iShares' $8+ billion ultra-large-cap-focused iShares FTSE/Xinhua 25 ETF (NYSEArca: FXI), giving investors an opportunity to address both sides of the ETF market.
As of October, its underlying index included 200 components, focused on consumer discretionary, industrials and information technology firms.
There are other ETFs in the China Small Cap space, such as Claymore/Alpha Shares China Small Cap Fund (NYSEArca: HAO), which invests in some 156 names, and has attracted some $340 million in assets in its two-year existence.
Both the iShares Indonesia and New Zealand funds will invest in the largest market-cap companies listed in those countries, respectively. The Indonesia fund has a larger portfolio, as its index included some 41 names, while New Zealand's benchmark had 22 as of October 2009.
By sector allocation, the iShares Indonesia fund will focus on financials, telecommunications services and consumer discretionary. By contrast, the company's take on New Zealand will allocate most of its portfolio to materials, telecommunications and consumer discretionary.
Among the competitors for these funds is one-year-old Market Vectors Indonesia ETF (NYSEArca: IDX), which has a portfolio comprising 27 names, and AUM of more than $200 million.

GENEVA (Aug. 12)
Branding Nazi Germany as "enemy No. 1 of world Jewry," the World Jewish Congress commission on combating anti-Semitism today submitted a series of resolutions calling for a battle against anti-Semitism on a world front.
The commission is headed by Prof. Horace M. Kallen of the New School for Social Research, vice-president of the American Jewish Congress.
The resolutions call for intensification of the boycott of German goods and services and provide for establishment of a central bureau for combating anti-Semitism.
The report calls on liberal and non-Jewish elements throughout the world to intensify the anti-Nazi boycott. It declares that the fight against anti-Semitism is bound up with the fight for equality of all races.
The immigration committee asked the congress to address an appeal to all nations able to absorb immigrants to open their gates. The report emphasized the serious position of the Jews in East European counties Its resolutions follow:
1) Urging the congress to invite all Jewish organizations interested in migration problems to coordinate their activities and follow a unified plan.
2) Asking establishment of emigration offices in various countries to aid in carrying out well-planned emigration.
3) Recommending that the congress negotiate with governments to ascertain the possibility of absorbing immigrant.
4) Suggesting the congress approach the Jewish Colonization Association for assignment of part of its capital to transfer East European Jews to new lands, if the governments permit.
5) Urging Jews in countries able to absorb immigrants to assist the congress in negotiations with their governments.
The Organization Committee recommended that the congress be constituted as a permanent body to be elected biennially. Between sittings, its work would be conducted by a council meeting annually. Its day-to-day work would be conducted by an elected committee.
A plan for raising the budget by proportional contributions from Jewish communities was submitted by the finance committee. It discussed, as an alternative, taxing Jews individually.
The Palestine committee submitted a resolution affirming the Jews' desire to live in peaceful cooperation with the Arabs. It appealed to Great Britain and the League of Nations against suspension of immigration or future limitation based on political grounds.
The resolution declared that suspension, 'however temporary it would be, would act as an injustice and a cruelty directed against the most vital interests of the Jewish masses throughout the world."
Rev. Maurice L. Perlzweig, head of the political information department of the World Zionist Organization, charged that a number of members of the British administration in Palestine were partly responsible for current disorders.
Addressing a special session on the Palestine situation, he stated:
"I must say frankly that there are elements in the Palestine administration which must have a heavy responsibility for the course which events have taken there."
He declared the authorities had not been prepared for the outbreak in Jaffa on April 19 and delayed two days before taking adequate measures for protection of life and property.
He criticized the employment of striking Arabs to drive military transports and assailed the threatened suspension of Jewish immigration into Palestine.
Dr. Stephen S. Wise said the Palestine mandate was given to Great Britain for the sole purpose of serving the League of Nations in safeguarding and furthering the development of a Jewish national home.
He paid tribute to the conduct of the Jews in the face of provocation.
Isaac Gruenbaum, of the organization department of the Jewish Agency, said the Jews had not been affected economically to the extent the Arabs had expected. The Arabs, he declared, had not succeeded in shattering Jewish hopes, but violence was continuing serious, threatening Jewish hopes and affecting not only the Palestine Jews, but all Jews hoping to go to Palestine.
Suspension of immigration would be a premium on Arab violence, he added.
Five delegates of radical Jewish groups in the United States, barred from the World Jewish Congress proceedings, early today presented a memorandum to the praesidium denying they had approved attacks on the Palestine Jews.
"We reject and disdain this allegation," the memorandum said, adding that the Communists were ready to defend the interests of the Jewish masses with their very lives.

If you are visiting Delhi (where we have foster homes) or surrounding cities in India and would like to help us rescue a pup or two from the streets by flying them with you back home to the U.S. please contact us. Please note that we will pay for the flight and all expenses related to flying our rescued dogs, however we will not bear the expense of the airfare of the passengers.
Please email firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.
More Information:
Desi (Local) or IN (Indian Native) or Pariah Dog is a natural primitive breed which is a direct descendant of the early domesticated dogs. Its truly a pure breed whose origin dates back 12,000 to 15,000 years – older than any other breed.
We are very proud to be a Rescue without borders. So, what does it mean to be a rescue without borders?
In the last five years we were able to rescue and rehabilitate over 300+ IN dogs and have found great homes for them in the U.S. and Canada.
We rescue and adopt within the U.S. irrespective of state borders, but now you may be wondering why rescue dogs from India? Typically in India, dogs that are born on the streets will usually end up dying on the streets as they are not given a chance to be family pets. India being a poor country most people cannot afford to keep a dog as a pet and those who do prefer a western breed as a status symbol. So these street dogs spend their entire lives on the streets in deplorable conditions. Most of the pups that are born on the streets will get killed by passing cars, or die of starvation or malnutrition. These dogs/ pups often become victims of cruelty as some people resort to cruel measures to get rid of them from their streets. The average life span of a dog living on the streets of India is 3 years during which time they continue to live starving miserable life full of abuse and suffering; however when these same dogs when given a chance to live in a home as family pets will live a healthy life of up to 16-18 years. That is why we rescue these dogs from the dangerous streets of India to give them an opportunity to be a part of a family where they can live their life in a comfort and safety of a loving home.

More Info on this breed ---
Desi (Local) or IN (Indian Native) or Pariah Dog is a pure, ancient, indigenous dog of India that abounds the Indian streets. A long time ago, and thousands of years before the arrival of modern pure breeds, a race of dogs much like this one inhabited the Indian subcontinent. These were the very first domestic dogs and Man's earliest animal companions. It has evolved entirely through natural selection without human intervention of any kind resulting into a very hardy, extremely intelligent, alert and independent thinking dog.
This is a natural primitive breed which is a direct descendant of the early domesticated dogs. These dogs are found to be genetically healthy with no known genetic diseases and a very strong immune system. This is a natural breed of dog that is pure in a true sense and is how nature intended a dog to be; hence they are way superior to the artificially developed man made breeds that we call pure breeds today. Its origin dates back 12,000 to 15,000 years – older than any other breed. They are perfectly adapted for survival; a free-roaming life on the street for these dogs is always difficult and often hostile and hence requires high order of intelligence, quick and independent thinking to survive. On the streets it is the survival of the fittest, usually out of a litter some will get run over by cars while others will succumb to hunger and malnutrition. Only the most hardiest and intelligent ones will survive to produce off springs. When this survivor is adopted as a Pet, their owners are often awe struck with their beauty, grace, intelligence, loyalty and hardiness.
They are highly adaptable, quick learners and versatile and are known to be even smarter and definitely calmer than the intelligent Border Collies. They are very agile and excel at many dog sports such as agility and also make great jogging/running companions and can be even faster than Grey Hounds. While active outdoors, they are usually very calm and quiet indoors. They have tremendous stamina and hence need an active family who will take them for a daily brisk walks or a run.
IN Dogs dogs are sensitive by nature and do not respond well to harsh training methods and hence need an even tempered, gentle but firm and loving owner who knows how to calmly and consistently communicate the rules of the house.
These dogs love children and are known to have a calm and gentle demeanor around them. They bond strongly with their people and make an excellent family pet that is very loving, loyal and intelligent. These dogs do not bark much but are always alert; they are friendly yet wary of strangers and make good watch dogs.
IN dogs are low maintenance dog as they are generally very healthy and like to stay clean; they hardly shed and have virtually no doggy odor. Their smooth, fine short hair coat is easy to groom. They have an all weather coat that allows them to easily adapt to different weather conditions.
A well-looked after pet IN dog will rarely need to see a vet and may live a healthy life of up to the age of 12 – 16 years. This is a medium size dog with an average height of 20-25 inches (51-64 cms) at the shoulder and generally weight about 28-50 pounds (12 – 22 kgs). With pointed ears, a wedge-shaped head and a tail that curls over its back, an IN Dog is similar in appearance to other prehistoric dogs like the Australian Dingo.

Our Motto- Every Dog Deserves a Good Home, No matter what breed or where they come from.
Love knows no boundaries. We do not discriminate; we will rescue the Underdogs, be it in the U.S. or abroad.
Currently we are focusing our rescue efforts on two types of Under Dogs- The American Staffordshire/Pit Bull Terrier or Pit Bull mix that we pull from the local shelters in the U.S; and on the international front the dogs from the streets of India called the Pariah Dogs, IN (Indian Native) Dogs or Desi Dogs.
R.W.B. family believes in opening our hearts and homes to the abandoned and unwanted dogs and cats irrespective of their location, age, sex, breed or size.
We rescue animals from terrible conditions and hence have them live with their foster family for couple of weeks during which time they receive not only veterinary care but also socialization and training. Since our rescued pets live with us for a long time we get to know them intimately which enable us to place them in a forever home that is just right for them. We can help you choose a dog to adopt based on whether his personality is a good match for you and your household/lifestyle.
Our foster pets' health is our priority #1. We do not spare any expense when it comes to caring for our rescued pets. They not only get best veterinary care for their specific medical needs, timely vaccinations, vitamins and high quality nutritious food but we also do a blood and stool test to ensure that they are completely healthy prior to adoption. All our rescued pets that are six months and older are spayed/neutered prior to adoption. Our international rescued pets fly to the U.S. with an International Health Certificate, medical paperwork and required documents. They are all healthy and Vet checked prior to adoption.
Our rescue also focuses on educating foster parents, adopters and others on importance of feeding nutritious food, socialization, training and daily exercise of their pet. Spay/Neuter to prevent unwanted litters of both dogs and cats is paramount.
We are very proud to be a Rescue without borders. So, what does it mean to be a rescue without borders?
We rescue and adopt within the U.S. irrespective of state borders, but now you may be wondering, why India? What would be the reason to bring dogs from another country when there are so many homeless dogs in the U.S.? Typically in India, dogs that are born on the streets are not kept as family pets. Most people cannot afford to keep a dog as a pet and those who do prefer a western breed as a status symbol. So these street dogs spend their entire lives on the streets in miserable conditions with no chance of ever finding a home.
We work hard to make people aware of the plight of homeless dogs in the local shelters and also in the developing countries like India. We focus our rescue efforts specifically on the dogs that are unable to survive on the streets; like orphaned pups, injured, sick or abandoned dogs. Pups born on the streets have little chance of survival where they most often get killed by vehicles or are victims of cruelty or die of hunger and malnutrition. We rescue, rehabilitate and bring these animals to good health and give them a chance at finding loving homes where they can live a happy, healthy and a safe life which otherwise would never be possible living on the streets. The average life span of these dogs on the street is well under five years during which time they suffer the effects of poor nutrition, harsh weather conditions and abuse from people. However as a house pet they become happy, loving, gorgeous companion dogs where they live a healthy life of 16+ years. On the streets it is the survival of the fittest so Indian Pariah IN/Desi dogs are born to be extremely hardy, intelligent and quick learners - if they weren't they wouldn't survive on the streets!
In the 5 past year we have successfully rescued, rehabilitated and founds homes for over 250 streets dogs of India throughout the Northeast.
We also rescue our own Underdogs the Pit bulls or Pit bull type dogs from kill shelters in the U.S. and find them right homes where they will thrive as family companions. Through our rescue work we educate and raise awareness to dispel the misconception about this breed.
If you are interested in meeting any of our pet please email us at email@example.com to make an appointment to visit them in their foster homes.
To ensure successful adoption, we adhere to the following adoption process-
When you see a pet that you like please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com. As soon as we get your email we will answer any questions you might have and also email you an Adoption Application. After we receive a completed Adoption application back from you, we will give you a call to discuss your application, give you more information and answer your questions. Once all your references are checked and your application is approved we will set up an appointment for you to meet the pet in his/her foster home. After meeting the pet if you decide to adopt, you can then go ahead and official adopt the pet by filling out an Adoption Contract. You might be able to take the pet home with you the same day but we reserve the right to a home visit either before or after the adoption to ensure that the pet goes to a good home. After adoption we keep in touch with the family to provide any support needed to ensure that the pet is transitioned into their new home and the adoption is a success.
We believe training helps ensure sucessful adoption. A well behaved dog is a happy dog in a happy home. Attending formal obedience training classes with your dog is a must. It not only teaches the new dog to know the rules of the house but also helps establish a bond with their new people.
Please note that the adoption donation requested defers for every pet and is higher for the dogs rescued from India due to the cost of transportation and medical cost incurred in rescuing that pet. Please inquire about the adoption fees/donation at the beginning of the adoption process.
Thank You!

With so many people struggling with their weight, sugar substitutes may seem like a good way to cut calories while still being able to enjoy the taste of something sweet. However, sugar substitutes do not always make a great substitute for regular sugar. From baking to health, the low-calories sweeteners have several disadvantages.
Effect on Baked Goods
Real sugar does more than add sweetness to your favorite muffin or quick bread; it's also responsible for helping to create the tender texture, enhancing the sweet aroma and producing the caramel coloring. Using a low-calorie sweetener may produce a different type of baked goods. These artificially sweetened goods may be denser and paler than if they were made with sugar. Also, because real sugar acts as a preservative, baked goods made with sugar substitutes may not have as long a shelf life as those made with real sugar.
The Taste Factor
While sugar substitutes have come a long way since the discovery of saccharin in the 1800s, they still don't have quite the same taste as regular sugar, and some may have an unpleasant aftertaste. You may need to experiment with different types of sugar substitutes to find the one that suits your taste buds. Also, due to their intense sweetness, you may find that sugar substitutes make your foods too sweet.
Hunger and Weight Gain
Instead of helping you lose weight, sugar substitutes may cause you to gain weight. The sweet taste of a sugar substitute increases insulin production, but without any sugar you may experience hypoglycemia, which increases your appetite, according to a 2011 report in the Journal of Pharmacology and Pharmacotherapeutics. This seems to be especially true for those who drink diet beverages, the report goes on to say, noting adults who drink diet soda may be more likely to gain weight than adults who drink regular soda.
Cancer Concerns
In the 1970s, a study linked saccharin to bladder cancer in rats, according to MayoClinic.org, and a warning was placed on the label of foods containing the sugar substitute. However, after numerous studies, the National Cancer Institute reports that there does not seem to be any link between any sugar substitute, including saccharin, and cancer, and the warning label on saccharin has been removed.
The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics notes that pregnant women should limit their intake of saccharin because of the difficulty a baby may have clearing the artificial sweetener and potential for buildup in the body.
Other Health Concerns
At one time or another, many of the sugar substitutes have been scrutinized for health safety concerns and have undergone numerous studies to assess their safety. Currently, six sugar substitutes are considered safe for use in the U.S.: saccharin, sucralose, acesulfame K, stevia, aspartame and neotame.

I can't figure out how to download the videos directly to my ipad. Do you have to download to itunes on a computer first and then transfer to ipad?
Thats right, your videos have to be imported into iTunes first and from there transfered to your ipad.
Here is a short tutorial going through the steps of downloading the Dragon and Tiger Online Program videos.
Frist we recommend that you use either Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome browers. You can download them here:
You may also need Flash installed on your computer which most computers have by default. If you need to install this you can do so here:
Now that you are hopefully using Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox to view this web page, let's get started with the steps of downloading.
1. Below the player box where you play and watch your video, you will see text that says "Right click and Save Link/Save Target to download the video: file name in blue text i.e. "dragon-tiger-ophx-x.mp4"
2. Use the right button on your mouse to click on the file name in blue text. If your mouse only has one button, then you will hold the control (ctrl) button on your keyboard and click on the text with your one mouse button.
3. You will see a small box appear with different options. Click on the option that says "save link as" or "save target as". The wording may be slightly different depending on which web browser you are using.
4. Another box will appear and you will be asked to choose a location on your computer( desktop, documents, downloads, folder, or hard drive). This location is where the video file will be be downloaded.
5. You will then click on "ok" or "accept" or "confirm" or "yes" or some variation of those words which basically means "yes, I want to download the video"
6. Go to the location of the downloaded video file and play it the way you normally play video/movie files.
If you do not know what program you should use to play video files, an application called VLC is helpful and plays almost all video formats as well as audio formats.
You can download it for free here: Download VLC Media Player
We hope this helps. Let us know if you have any questions.
Kind Regards,
Energy Arts Team
Hi there!
I see your info about the Dragon and tiger download but don't see a hypertext link to actually click to get the download.
I'm really excited about getting this video download because when I just followed the cursory introduction to Dagon and Tiger I really felt a lot of enenergy. I'm super psyched about getting this on my tablet, phone, and my computer so even when I don't have access to the internet I will be able to do the set.
Thanks for your help!
I recently returned from a three week instructor training in a chi gung practice called "Gods Playing in the Clouds". This intensive was held at Menlo College near San Francisco and I'd like to share some details about my experience.
