Locking in Ankle Strength and Increasing Ankle Mobility for Injury Prevention
By Perry Nickelston, DC, FMS, SFMA
The term Achilles heel is often used to describe weakness or vulnerability. It is derived from the Greek mythology legend of Achilles, who was dipped into the river Styx by his mother to make him invincible.His heel was not covered by the water and he was later killed by an arrow wound to his heel. What's the lesson? There is always a vulnerable area of the body.
The ankle is a prime spot for this weakness. How many of your patients have suffered ankle sprains in their lifetime? Prior ankle injuries create compensation chaos and dysfunctional movement patterns, which manifest as pain or energy leaks in other areas. A chain is only as strong as its weakest link. The system of interconnecting human movement chains must function at optimum levels to prevent injury and pain. These chains are susceptible to injury when there is dysfunction between the intricate yin / yang balance of mobility and stability.
The body craves stability and will sacrifice functional mobility to obtain it. Unique movement compensations develop for each person based on their history. The body is hardwired to avoid potential threat and takes the path of least resistance to ensure safety. Its objective is to use minimal energy and effort to accomplish a given task.
One of the primary "safety net" systems the body uses for self-protection is stiffness, aka tissue extensibility dysfunction. The brain increases neurological input to muscles, ligaments and joints, facilitating stiffness in an unconscious effort to protect. Think of how the body reacts when walking on ice. Everything stiffens to prevent falling. The majority of your patients will be moving like they are walking on ice, perpetually stiff.
How prepared to you think the body will be for efficient movement if it is locked in stiffness 24/7? Optimal performance in activities of daily living are sure to become compromised.
To avoid ligament injuries and compensation chaos in the kinetic chain, it is critical for patients to gain stability and strengthen the ankle. The foundation for all stability and efficient movement sequencing begins in the reactive core. There are three effective movements your patients can perform that increase ankle mobility and lock in stability. If you find that manual ankle mobilization is indicated, these exercises help patients become involved by taking an active role in therapy. For purposes of maximizing stability, focus on a few major players of deep inner core function during the exercises; specifically the diaphragm and transverse abdominus.
The Ankle Mobility Drill
A key concept to the ankle mobility drill is realizing that it's a mobility exercise, not a flexibility / stretching one. You want to rock the ankle back and forth in the sagittal plane with controlled dynamic movement, not a static hold. It is essential that the heel remain in contact with the floor. Most people who have ankle mobility restrictions will immediately lift the heel. You may need to hold the heel down for beginners so they can feel the movement. Exercise should be performed in bare feet for maximum benefit.
Ankle Inversion With Variable Resistance
Adding resistance bands to this movement is an effective way to isolate precision and control of the ankle mortise while strengthening the tibialis anterior and tibialis posterior. Use a variable resistance band that is not too strenuous and wraps easily around the ankle.
Ankle Eversion With Variable Resistance
Balance of antagonistic muscles must be achieved for ankle strengthening and stability. Eversion motion will work the peroneus tertius, peroneus longus and peroneus brevis. Since the majority of ankle sprains are inversion types, the everters are often compromised with inhibition.
Variable-resistance band strengthening exercises help promote eccentric strength and proprioception in the open-chain environment. When ankles are strong, your patients will be much better at maintaining balance under awkward conditions. Think about it: The intrinsic muscles of the ankle are constantly firing to maintain balance. If they lose reaction time, people are more prone to slip-and-fall injuries. And here's one more huge benefit to strong and stable ankles – you can make them practically injury-proof!

I am attending an indoor-outdoor daytime event in a town famous for severe humidity. I need a dress that is light and heavy in order to widthstand the steaming heat and the chill of air-conditioning. The attire is dressy-casual. This does not mean semi-formal which has an evening feel or business-casual which makes me think of dockers and shoes with no socks. I have decided to make the Burda Boucle Dress for the occasion. Last week I bought a beautiful charcoal multicolored tweed on sale. Notions are on sale later this week. I can't wait to cut and sew up my dress in order to show it off step-by-step.

George Clinton Takes On Sample Troll Bridgeport Music Again: The DNA Of Hip Hop Has Been Hijacked
from the copyright-trolls dept
Either way, George Clinton and Bridgeport have battled it out before, with Clinton agreeing to testify on behalf of certain artists sued by Bridgeport in the past. Clinton claims that Bridgeport dropped the cases every time he did that. Last week, Bridgeport sued Lil Wayne over a George Clinton sample, and Clinton is apparently not at all happy about it, putting out the following video where he calls the whole thing "bullshit" (in two languages! so slightly NSFW):
The DNA of hip hop has been hijacked, leaving many artists across generations in needless hardship.Unfortunately, in all the years following Bridgeport and George Clinton, I have to admit that Clinton is anything but clear and detailed in explaining what happened or even what's going on today. The same is true of the current video which doesn't go into much detail. And while it points people to Clinton's blog Funkprobosci to "help stop" Bridgeport, there really isn't that much additional infromation. There is an FAQ, which has some info, but is again confusing and not particularly detailed. It would be great if there were a more complete and detailed explanation of (1) how Bridgeport got Clinton's music (2) the existing legal challenges between Clinton and Bridgeport, and (3) what Clinton is trying to do now.

Dream Machine is a Hit at Dream Cruise
WCC's Dream Machine, a "clone" of the 1967 Mustang GT nicknamed Eleanor from the movie "Gone in 60 Seconds," was one of the most popular cars at the recent Woodward Dream Cruise. Students in the Custom Cars & Concepts (CCC) program are building the car for Detroit radio station WCSX as part of the Dream Machine charity raffle.
The tribute to a Hollywood icon made its first appearance looking like a real car, with paint, wheels, glass, and engine. A steady stream of people bought raffle tickets and marveled that students were building this incredible car.
The Woodward Dream Cruise is the largest event of its kind in the country. It featured over a million spectators and thousands of hot rods, classic cars, and suped up clunkers, along with a few whacked out hearses, Hummers, and buses. If you can imagine it, it was there.
Dream Cruisers crowded around the Dream Machine to ask WCC students and instructors lots of questions about how they're building it. "This is a totally controlled, predesigned, pre-engineered vehicle," said Gary Sobbry, chair of WCC's Automotive Body Repair department. "The car will be checked and rechecked for safety."
The Mustang has a 450 horsepower Ford Racing engine under its hood, which is impressive enough. But the addition of thrust from the nitrous oxide tanks will give the car another 200 horsepower. The speedometer will top out at 150 miles per hour, but the car won't.
"What these CCC students get out of these high-end builds is the experience of doing a project for a real customer, working within a budget, with a real-world deadline," Sobbry said. "And they get to work on a kind of car that 99 percent of the world couldn't afford. What makes this particular project special is it's our first kit car, which makes it like a high-end puzzle."
The students have spent countless hours polishing, painting, buffing, and priming, and the fun is just beginning. They have yet to do any wiring, interior work, or engine and transmission work.
"There is a tight group of about 10 students who gave up their summer to work on the car and help raise money for local charities," Sobbry said. "These are extremely talented students who are getting the kind of experience no other program in the country could provide."
Bobby Feldkamp has been a CCC student for over a year, and has worked on a couple of high-end car builds. As he sat in the WCC trailer at the Dream Cruise watching a string of DeLoreans parade by, their doors raised open like bird wings, he thought about what his experience building the Mustang means to him.
"I am honored to be building an American icon that will help out two great charities," he said. "I've learned a lot about working with a budget and about the importance of teamwork when you have a short deadline. We depend on each other to pull our own weight. I've also made some good business contacts in the industry, which will help me find a job when I finish the program."
With only $40,000 from the two charities, The Salvation Army's Staples Family Center and the National Kidney Foundation of Michigan, the students and faculty have been busy looking for donations. They've received gifts from many local and national companies, such as Varsity Ford, Mustangs to Fear, BASF Paint, and Goodyear Tires.
Over 4,000 raffle tickets have been sold, and the drawing for the Dream Machine will be held Oct. 4 at the WCC Car and Motorcycle Show. For information about the show, call 734-973-3443 or email email@example.com. Raffle tickets can be purchased at the WCC Cashier's Office, which is located on the second floor of the Student Center building.

I also wanted to find out how tutors and learning technologists actually use their mobile phones in their working lives, so I sent out a short survey and got an encouraging number of responses. So I'd like to tell you first how I use my mobile phone to help me in my work as a teacher at the English Language Teaching Centre and also suggest some apps that people might find useful. Then I'll summarise the results of the survey and hopefully from this you may get some ideas about how you can use your device to enrich your working life.
Here are a few typical ways I've been using my mobile phone this term. The apps are on the Android platform, but I'm sure many of them would be available on iphones or other devices (Blackberry, Windows 8) as well.
Taking Attendance: for a few of my classes, I use a cool little app called Safety Attendance to take the register in class, it doesn't take long to set it up and it has a really user-friendly interface that makes it easy to just go down the names and register them as either present/absent or late. You can also export your data as a spreadsheet later.
Recording Students: In one of my classes students have to conduct a small group discussion/debate and their English level is assessed. This is difficult to do on the fly so I make sure it's recorded so I can listen back later and assess them properly. The quality of voice recording on mobile phones is really high now and I was comfortable just putting it on the table while the students were talking and it picked up everything. One issue with mobile phones is that they often record in slightly odd audio formats (.3ga and .amr for example) which can make playing them back later on the computer a bit of a problem. I use an app called Hi-Q MP3 Recorder so that it can be exported as an MP3.
Running a VLE: with one of my classes, I use an online service called Edmodo as our VLE. Visually it's very similar to Facebook and other social networks but it has specific features for education such as quizzes, polls, assignments and a document library. It also has a fantastic mobile app for both ios and Android. It's very easy for me to respond to students posts directly from my phone as well as upload documents and photos for students to access.
Presentation control: I've only done this once at a conference I attended and spoke at recently but I was very impressed and will definitely use it again. Using an app called Gmote, I was able to advance through my slides at a distance by touching the screen on my phone, freeing me up from being stuck behind the podium during the presentation.
How are other technologists using their smartphones in their daily work?
I asked the technologists at the university of Sheffield the following questions and I've recorded the responses below each question.There were 11 responses in total but I haven't recorded the names as I wasn't sure if they wanted them published here.
What smartphone/operating system do you have?
I don't have one, HTC One X (Android), Samsung Galaxy S2 (Android), Samsung Galaxy Note and S2 (Android), iphone x 5 (three didn't specify version, one iphone 4 and one iphone 5), HTC Wildfire (Android), Samsung Galaxy (Android)
In what ways do you use your smartphone to help you in your work?
- Not as much as I should! The only direct reason I do so for students is to demonstrate recording and uploading on sites such as Audioboo and Soundcloud. I also use it for calendars, checking work email on the move etc.
- email, calendar, Dropbox for files, rss feed reader to stay abreast of interesting topics, Twitter for following topics and people, conferences and to Tweet professionally, socialcam and Twitvideo to record videos for students and conference abstracts, Mendeley to save and store references, Zite to stay abreast of interesting topics, Pinterest to save interesting infographics
- email, brief web queries, task management
- Like a multi-tool really - impromptu/lo-fi photography and recording, calendar/email, usb drive (when necessary), my-pocket-internet. Fairly general stuff.
- Note taking, email, web access, taking and sharing images, calendar, maps etc
- I use it to access Google Drive and read any Google Docs whilst in meeting etc if I haven't got my iPad or laptop with me; I have non-sensitive files stored on Dropbox and so I have this app on my phone too so I can access other documents; I use the phone to make notes using the Apple Notes or Pages app so that this syncs with my other devices; I constantly use it to pick up emails and check my calendar whilst on the move. I have also started using the new Reminders app to remind myself of tasks that need doing so I can get alerts on these; The Safari application comes in handy when needing to check something online; I use the Twitter app to login to the Department Twitter account and tweet; there have been a few occasions when I've been off work, and travelling around where I have logged into MOLE etc and dealt with a query directly from the phone - for example enrolling students onto a module. I also have a VPN set up so I can access restricted content too.
- Two main categories:
- research/CPD type things (podcasts, RSS) including social media (twitter, G+),
- 'office' stuff - email, gdocs, chat, I record meetings in Evernote.
Apart from that, most of what I do goes on f2f or in a VLE (MOLE or moodle), neither of which are particularly mobile friendly right now.
- Because it's a private phone, I only have my calendar on it.
- to manage my diary, to manage my emails, to keep track of my "to-do" list, to tether my tablet so I can get internet access when away from wifi (e.g. on the train), occasionally to take photographs, occasionally to access the VLE (e.g. to release content that's been hidden)
- general VLE admin (but not uploading material). Checking students have access / checking work has been submitted, checking selective release of material. Increasingly use it with google form for student surveys
Are there any apps you find particularly useful to help you in your work?
- Audioboo, Soundcloud, Calendar
- I'm finding Socialcam potentially very useful, whilst email and calendar are essential and very obvious. I would like to employ Audioboo much more as I only use it on a personal level just now.
- Chrome Browser, GoTasks (google tasks for iphone)
- None come to mind - I've never come across a work issue where I thought 'bet there's an app for that'.
- Evernote, Audioboo, Dropbox, iCloud, Zite, Twitter etc
- Google Drive, Dropbox, Twitter, Facebook, Notes / Pages / Mail / Calendar / Reminders / Safari
(bundled with iOS 6.0.1)
- Evernote. Wonderfully searchable, taggable, syncs on all devices, easy saving of photos, audio and video (maybe?). Can email notes to colleagues.
- It's not specifically a work-related app, but I use K9 mail to manage my email. It's vastly superior to the Google Mail app, and it lets me manage all my mail accounts in one place.
- That old favorite dropbox. But over the last 12 month increasing use of Google plus / Google hangouts / Google Drive on the android. Google Drive has becoming increasingly useful, mainly realtime collaboration on Google docs
I'd like to thank my colleagues for their responses to the survey. Clearly some of them use their smartphones extensively to help them in their work, others really only use them for the basics (email, calendar) or not at all. It was interesting to read the range of apps they use as well, there were the obvious ones like Dropbox, Google Drive, Facebook and Twitter but also there seems to be an increasing use of note-taking apps (such as Evernote) and audio/video apps such as Audioboo, Soundcloud and SocialCam. The last one is new for me and I'm definitely going to look into how that could be used in class.
I would love to hear from any teachers, learning technologists or technicians working in education who could share their own experiences using smartphones in their working lives and get some more recommendations for apps that could be used.

THREE DECADES AGO, my then wife, Anne Banks, and I began clearing 3 acres of overgrown farmland in Hillsdale, New York, that my family had sold to us. Our goal was to grow our own food organically, then try to sell whatever was left over. At the time, standard fare in rural areas hadn't advanced much beyond meat, potatoes, and iceberg lettuce. Of course, there were a few families with home gardens, but vegetable farming targeted to the local market had all but been replaced by importing produce from farms far away. Times are different now — with the popularity of local and organic foods sold at Whole Foods, farmers' markets, and CSAs (community supported agriculture) — but not different enough.
By August 1983, Anne and I were harvesting many more leafy greens, roots, and fruits than we could eat. I started knocking on the door of every restaurant and food store in the Berkshires and Hudson River Valley that might buy what I was selling. At first, chefs and owners thought I was just a strange hippie hustling vegetables grown in horse manure. If they even knew the term "organic" — and few back then did — they could not care less about it.
And yet some prospective customers began to notice that our vegetables were fresh and unusual. Chefs in Manhattan and Boston, influenced by Alice Waters of Chez Panisse, had become curious about what was growing in their own areas. At our farm, Earthborn — 2½ hours from both cities — I was obsessed with growing plants I found in obscure seed catalogs from all over the United States and Europe. Our assortment of French and Italian lettuces, Asian greens, opal basil, purple fennel, and assorted baby vegetables got us going with some of the most innovative chefs in the country.
By 1990, New England, as elsewhere, had a full-fledged organic and local food movement — one that's continued to grow enormously. Sales of organic food in the United States went from $1 billion that year to $31.5 billion in 2011. Now it seems like organic food is everywhere, from local farmers' markets to the aisles of Walmart.
But there's a catch: There's not nearly enough of it. For all the money paid for organics, it represents only about 4 percent of our total food spending in the United States. The demand is there — 78 percent of US families are buying it, according to a 2011 study by the Vermont-based Organic Trade Association. But because demand far exceeds the locally produced supply, much of what we eat has to be trucked in from elsewhere. That should change. New England doesn't have the vast arable acreage of places like California, of course, but we can grow more of our own organic food than we do now.
This could be good for farmers. In my home county of Berkshire, thousands of acres are devoted to commercial dairying, with much of the land set aside for growing genetically altered corn for feed. Even with government subsidies, I find it hard to believe that dairy farmers cannot make a better living redesignating at least some land. An acre of organically grown vegetables can feed hundreds of people with potential net per-acre returns to the farmer of at least $15,000.
If this sounds impossible, look no further than famed Verrill Farm for precedent. The farm straddling Concord and Sudbury started as a dairy business nearly a century ago. But the Verrill family sold its dairy herd in 1990 to make way for a produce and farm-stand operation (that employs "a combination of organic and conventional techniques"), one that has become very successful.
More important, growing more of our own food will be good for consumers. Organic produce remains unaffordable for lots of people, but that could change with competitive pressure. Meanwhile, the prices for food produced in our current system — so dependent on petroleum and faraway growers — are bound to go up. Better to choose to grow local now than to be forced to later.

Media Molecule 'stepping away' from LBP
UK studio Media Molecule has revealed that it's work on Sony's LittleBigPlanet franchise is over. For now at least.
According to a Tweet from Edge, the studio's Siobhan Reddy told at audience at Barcelona's GameLab 2011 event that: We're stepping away from Little Big Planet to focus on some new ideas."
LBP has already seen life outside the walls of Media Molecule, with Sony's Cambridge Studio having developed the PSP game and both Double11 and Tarsier Studios currently at work on the PS Vita outing.
It's unlikely that the move indicates any ill-fortune for the LBP brand.

Multiport valves are used to direct the flow of water received by your pool pump. Multiport valves are upgraded versions of rotary valves and are also referred to as multi-position valve, vari-flow valve, and filter-control valves. A multiport valve has several positions that allow the pool operator to perform several different operations. Here's a description of them.
Filter position is used roughly 99% of the time during pool operation. When your multiport valve is set for Filtration, water is directed into the filter through the media and clean water is returned from valve to pool. The filter setting allows water to do just that, filter the water, in a Top toBottom direction through the filter tank.
Filter position is used roughly 99% of the time during pool operation. When your multiport valve is set for Filtration, water is directed into the filter through the media and clean water is returned from valve to pool. The filter setting allows water to do just that, filter the water, in a Top toBottom direction through the filter tank.
Backwash is the reverse or opposite of filter mode. The direction of the water is reversed. The water coming from pump will go through valve backwards, entering the tank at the bottom, and flushing out the dirt and debris that has been trapped in the sand bed. D.E. filters work the same way, the multiport valve reverses the flow of water through the filter to flush out the dirt and earth.
Recirculate allows water from pump to completely bypass filter and return to pool. This position is typically utilized when the filter is being repaired or waiting on parts. Recirculate allows you to run the pump when you are having issues with the filter so your water will not become stagnant.
Rinse is used after backwashing sand filters. The water flow is similar to that of backwashing but it concentrates on flushing loose sand and/or particles out of plumbing to waste line. Using the Rinse setting for 15 seconds after backwashing, and before switching back to the filter mode, will prevent some sand and dirt from blowing back through the returns into your pool.
Waste or drain setting bypasses filter completely and directs water out of the backwash/waste line. This can be used when vacuuming out water that you do not wish to filter and return to pool. In retrospect it lowers the water level of pool and or spa.
Closed position shuts off all ports on the multi position valve and is utilized when doing a repair. When valve is closed all inlets and outlets are deadheaded and pump should not be run. Pressure build up can cause injury and/ or equipment damage. This position is used for valves that need to be free of water during the winter to prevent water expansion and equipment damage. The winterization position is often in between to settings keeping valve assembly slightly elevated to allow for ice expansion. If you don't have a winterize setting, place the valve handle in between two valve settings for the winter.
Common problems with Multiport Valves:
Multiport valves can fail or require repair for a couple of different reasons. Besides the obvious external damage that can occur, internal damage can be assessed and repaired. The most common issue with multi position valves is with the spoke or spider gasket.
The spider gasket creates a positive seal between positions on valve. Specifically, the seals the diverter (aka: rotor or diffuser) to the ports of the valve, preventing leakage from one port to another. If the gasket becomes dislodged, warped, or broken, the diverter will not seal and water will either escape out of the waste line or return to pool unfiltered.
Replacing the spider gasket involves removing the cover and key assembly and adhering a new gasket into the grooves in body of the valve. Use a small sharp screwdriver to be sure and get all the little pieces of the old spider gasket out of the groove before glueing in place the replacement.
Another common issue is a leak where lid connects to the body of the valve. This typically is the result of a bad lid o-ring. Another leak can occur in the center of the lid, and usually this means a problem with o-ring and or Teflon washer on stem of valve. Next to lubricating, the best way to resolve issue is to replace worn, broken, or damaged o-rings.
Most multiport valves utilize a spring to create tension and allow you to move through different settings and keeping a 100% seal. Over time, corrosion can affect the spring causing valve not to seat into correct position. If your handle is very floppy, with no tension, your spring may need replacement.
Maintenance & Operation:
Multi-port valves require no specific maintenance but there are a couple of simple things you can do to ensure the longevity of your valve. First and foremost is monitoring the water chemistry of your pool. Improperly balanced water can be corrosive and also weaken pool equipment. Test and adjust chemistry on a weekly basis.
Properly winterizing your valve will prevent freeze damage. Multi-port valves usually have a drain plug tapped into the main housing. Make sure to force air through valve allowing water to drain, when valve is water-free, leave in correct position according to manufacturer. Some valves have a specific winterization setting while other manufacturers recommend leaving in between two positions. I personally like to remove any backwash sight glass for the winter.
Whenever moving from one position to the next, make sure the pool pump is off. The water pressure entering the valve can damage internal components of valve if turned while the pump is running. It also can dead head your pool pump adversely affecting other pool equipment. Also when turning handle keep in mind this valve can become weaker over time and through use and that it can break under too much force. So, turn the valve handle purposely and gently from position to position.

Everyone loves Gwyneth: Faith Hill edition
My G was spotted in New York yesterday after having lunch with yet another famous blonde friend, this time someone she hasn't yet pimped out to Alex Rodriguez. Faith Hill and Gwyneth Paltrow caught up over sushi, tight now that G has spent time in Nashville hanging out with Faith and Tim McGraw with whom she co-starred in the upcoming Country Strong.
I interviewed McGraw earlier this year in Vancouver and he told me that Faith and G were out all the time with their kids during filming. Famous people evidently don't find her so insufferable.
As for Country Strong, it's scheduled for release on December 22nd, capitalising perhaps on Garrett Hedlund's expected popularity with the release of TRON and just squeaking in for awards season IF the film lives up to expectation. Major question mark there but they say there's a love scene between the two Gs, my Gwyneth and my Garrett. Better than the real thing. Please don't cut this.

The ordinance, if it goes into effect, would prohibit home and premise occupations that include auto body and/or fender repair shops, manufacture, assembly or repair of heavy equipment, major appliances, or engines. The ordinance would also prohibit junkyards, mortuaries and crematoriums.
Commission chairwoman Mary Beth Fitzburgh said the commission received 34 letters favoring the restrictions and 11 letters against, which are on file at the town clerk's office. Fitzburgh read portions of all of the letters before hearing from those who attended the meeting. During the meeting, four people spoke in favor of the proposed amendment and five voiced their opinions against it.
Those in favor cited their desire for the peace and tranquility of a residential/agriculture area and the fear of contaminating the aquifer. Some people against the amendment favored people being able to make a living in the valley and having a diversified population with cottage industries.
After reading letters from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 8 and Utah Open Lands officials, both favoring limiting industrial businesses, the commission members voiced their views on the subject. Fitzburgh said she really made it her goal to research all aspects of the issue. She added that the planning commission can't limit the number of allowed business permits to just one repair business and would have to approve all requests if the town adopts regulations allowing industrial use. She said the town can't afford to clean the water if the aquifer gets contaminated and has a responsibility to protect the water.
Commission member Laura Cameron said she found it difficult to be on the commission and have to make a decision, but in the end said she probably wouldn't be happy with an auto repair shop next to her home. She said she heard from a lot of neighbors who expressed concerns about the issue and she had to think about all these things when making a decision. Commission member Marie Hawkings said that the commission is not going to make everyone happy with their decision. She added that if she was guaranteed that only Dave Rhoads, who is applying for a conditional use permit, would have a repair shop there would not be a problem, but her number-one concern is the aquifer.
The commission approved the proposed amendments to the land use ordinance and will forward the decision to the town council, which will hold another public hearing during its regular monthly meeting next Wednesday, March 20.
According to a news release from Ken Davis, project information coordinator for the Colorado River Pathway Project, the full nighttime road closure on state Route128 is nearing.
"Nightime closures will take effect starting April 1 at 11:30 p.m. Nightly closures will continue Sunday night through Thursday night for three weeks. Hours of closure will be from 11:30 p.m. to 5:30 a.m."
The news release also states that there will be no construction work on March 16 to accommodate the annual half marathon and five-mile race, which uses the river road corridor beginning at approximately mile 11 and ending at Swanny City Park in Moab. Construction work will also stop from March 23 to March 31 to accommodate the annual Easter Jeep Safari.
In the meantime, work continues on the bridge abutments and columns and trail construction near Negro Bill Canyon as construction of the river pathway progresses down the canyon. Work on the pedestrian tunnel and transit hub is continuing, as well as the one-way traffic signals that travelers have endured for the past several months. This project is expected to last through most of the summer.
The open-burn season is now in effect in the county and residents can now legally burn their piles of limbs and brush that have been accumulating since last fall. Before striking a match, however, a call to the Grand County Sheriff's dispatch office at 435-259-8115 must be made to receive permission to burn. A clearing index of 500 feet must exist before a permit will be issued and the sheriff's office will have that information
Common sense should also dictate whether you burn or not. A windy day is definitely not a day to burn, as the burning embers can travel great distances and start a fire downwind. The pile of debris should also have an ample clearing around it to eliminate the spread of fire.
With the switch to Daylight Saving time, it is also advised to change the batteries in smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors and make sure they are working properly.
Thirty years ago this week, the property owners association's board of directors was informed by the town's road chairman that the road leading into the River Ranchos from Castleton Road would be realigned so that it meets the paved road at a 90-degree angle. The road was not a legal entrance because of the angle.
The new road, which is on BLM property, was to turn to the east approximately 100 feet beyond the mailboxes. The realignment work was necessary for the county to qualify for state funding. The county road crews began working on the new entrance as well as widening the lower part of Pace Hill.

On Windows operating systems, db2cmd opens the CLP-enabled DB2 window, and initializes the DB2 command line environment. Issuing this command is equivalent to clicking on the DB2 Command Window icon. In this mode each command must be prefixed by db2.
learn to write PLSQL statements in db2 .sql scripts and compile/execute
them in the DB2 command mode in Windows environment. I shall use the
same examples posted in my previous blog
https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/mydeveloperworks/blogs/DB2PLSQL/entry/db2_9_7_plsql_support_compile_execute_plsql_using_db2clp_interactive_input_mode2?lang=en to demonstrate the same. Lets consider the example PLSQL procedure with record type as IN parameter
For the initial setup please refer to my previous blog . Step 1 and Step 2 would remain the same but here we will not be starting the interactive input mode instead use the same prompt mode to compile and execute PLSQL statements.
Open a text pad or a notepad to prepare PLSQL scripts. Example:- PLSQL procedure with record type as IN parameter from previous blog refer to the above link.
a. Copy the create table emp statements in this text file and save it as createtab.sql
b. Copy the package specification contents of REC_PKG and save it as rec_pkg_spec.sql
c. Copy the package body contents of REC_PKG and save it as rec_pkg_body.sql
d. Copy the execute statements and save it as run_proc.sql
Note:- Let the statement terminator for the above scripts be '@'
Set the environment variable to run the db2 scripts
Execute the below commands in the DB2 command line which shows the present working directory path. For eg:- C:\workdb2>
a. db2start
b. db2 connect to SAMPLE
c. db2 set schema='WORK'
d. db2 set PATH=SYSTEM PATH, 'WORK'
Compilation of PLSQL code by executing the db2 scripts
a. Execute the create table script using the below command
db2 -td@ -vf createtab.sql
CREATE TABLE employee (
name VARCHAR2(10), ADDR VARCHAR2(70), PHONE NUMBER)
DB20000I The SQL command completed successfully.
b. Execute the create package specification script
db2 -td@ -vf rec_pkg_spec.sql
c. Execute the create package body script
db2 -td@ -vf rec_pkg_body.sql
Execution of PLSQL code using db2 scripts
db2 -td@ -vf run_proc.sql
DB20000I The SET SERVEROUTPUT command completed successfully.
DECLARE EMP_VAL REC_PKG.EMP_OBJ; status VARCHAR2(50); BEGIN EMP_VAL.NAME := 'Pau
lly'; EMP_VAL.ADDR := 'Sandiego'; EMP_VAL.PHONE := 123; REC_PKG.fill_employee(EM
P_VAL,status); DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(status); END
DB20000I The SQL command completed successfully.
This procedure inserts into employee
This topic helps to compile/execute PLSQL statements using SQL scripts in DB2 command mode. These are demonstrated through examples and does not contain any real time project content. But can be used as reference while developing PLSQL statements.
These posts are my opinions and do not necessarily represent IBM's positions, strategies, or opinions
Was this useful?
Happy Reading!!

You can't swing a cat around here without hitting a "bad boy".
So, were you wondering who that mysterious fellow at the beginning of the season premier, "Broken", was? Some of you might know him as Rene from True Blood, where he killed lots of people and was generally pretty creepy. In Once Upon a Time, though, Michael Raymond-James plays Emma's long-lost love Neal and maybe, maybe is the mysterious father of Henry. I'm also hoping he's Baelfire with his memory wiped or something, but that's a question for later down the road.
"Tallahassee" was actually a pretty good episode, and possibly provided a much-needed boost to northern Florida's tourism industry after Sandy. Fun fact: it's the capital of America's Penis, which is also the craziest swing state in the country. No word on if those two things are related. The fervor with which Neal and Emma promise each other they will move there some day implies that it's a magical place where all dreams are possible. Maybe the writers watched that 30 Rock episode about undulaxing and took its message to heart.
The plot of this episode was pretty straightforward: in the present, Emma and Hook climb a beanstalk and manage to exchange un-sexy flirtations during the climb. Like, really, how do two people as undeniably fine as Hook and Emma not have ridiculous chemistry from the get-go. The point of this jaunt is to find a magic compass that will allow them to navigate the purpley-smokey nothing between worlds, ensuring that when they do leave the fairy tale land they will end up in Storybrooke and not some other world.
Before she climbs the beanstalk, Emma tells Mulan to cut it down if she's not back in ten hours. Despite the fact that they have knockout powder and a game plan, I think this was a wildly overoptimistic time limit. Emma of course does not share this limit with her mother/BFF Snow White, who we all know is Overprotective and Emotionally Unstable at the best of times. Mulan agrees, because she honors the warrior's way. Honestly, we need to delve into her past potential dalliances with Philip before she becomes an Asian stereotype.
At the top of the beanstalk, Hook and Emma use the poppy powder on Hurley the Giant to put him to sleep and gain access to his treasure house. Among the treasures inside is Jack the Giant-Killer's blade. The version of Jack and the Beanstalk is more genocidal in this world: he led an army against the giants and killed all but the strongest (that would be Hurley). The giants destroyed their crops of magic beans to spite their conquerors – but Emma doesn't need the magic beans, she can get magic wardrobe dust from Cora. Yeah, I'm sure that plan is going to go swimmingly.
As the episode progresses, it becomes apparent that Emma has a thing for bad boys and she might possibly some day be in to Hook, especially if he keeps talking about his dead love Mila (you remember, R-stilts' wife who left him for a sexy pirate). The knockout powder doesn't last for long – soon the giant is back up and running. Running at them specifically. Emma traps him under the oversized mousetrap inside the treasure house and pseudo-tortures him into giving her the compass. She doesn't kill him though, because she's an ex-con with a heart of gold, and because he agrees to hold on to Hook for ten hours. She double-crosses him before he gets a chance to do so to her, thus ensuring that we will have a Complicated Relationship later on in the season.
In the past, Emma climbs a different kind of beanstalk – one made of EMOTION. Or, you know, the other kind. She's just a young twenty-something in Buddy Holly glasses, stealing cars and hearts. She steals herself a yellow VW Beetle (a familiar one), which has already been stolen by Neal. Together they Bonnie and Clyde through America, until Neal's past comes back to haunt him. He stole some watches in Oregon and wants to ditch Emma so he can go to Canada to escape the charges. Emma declares that she loves him, and offers to participate in fencing the watches. The crime goes smoothly, until everyone's favorite bad boy writer shows up: August W. Booth.
August explains the Curse and Emma's destiny to Neal and offers him a choice: stay with Emma and be in the way, or leave her now with a chance to reunite later. Neal, unlike many of the characters in Once Upon a Time, chooses to play the long game. He escapes to Canada and leaves Emma to serve the time he should have done, feeling pretty guilty the whole time. He gives August the keys to the Beetle and $20,000, to send to Emma for when she gets out. Guess what part of that gift actually makes it to her? Our boy August just can't seem to resist temptation. Neal asks for a way to know that Emma is all right, and August promises to send him a postcard once the curse is broken. Which, you might remember, was the beginning of this season. Can people find Storybrooke now? I thought it was Unplottable or something before.
In prison, Emma receives the key from Neal. She's also pretty pregnant, so I hope that she receives the key somewhat near the beginning of her sentence. This would explain why she never told Henry about his dad – some parents have a hard time explaining sex to their children, let alone "Mommy had a wild fling with her partner in crime before he sold her out for a ticket to Canada."
There's this weird little subplot about Aurora's nightmares, which are a side effect of the sleeping curse she was under for all those years. In her dreams, she's in a red room with no windows and burning curtains. It sounds like a storybook version of hell. The thing is, Henry is having the same nightmares. In both cases, the Charmings come to the rescue. James lights a candle to keep the bad things away from his grandson, and Snow sits with Aurora while she tries to sleep. It was actually a beautiful idea – candles keeping the nightmares away, and the dream catcher Emma finds in a hotel she stays at with Neal. I'm interested to see where they go with this – it's definitely a teaser for later plot lines.
Next week: A detour into Ruby's past and present, with cameos by St. Cockblock.

This is the second part of the virus tute my friend wrote it gets more into specifics and mine u at the bottom is the source code of an old obsolete virus...dont go screaming all crazy it is just there for the readers to understand how a virus works.....have a read
Intro To Viruses II: The Computer Killer
Made by Zcero
How can a Virus be so deadly if they are modern marvels? Thats easy,
The modern virus these days is made by a type of hacker that is
looked down apon in the comunity, they are known as black hat
hackers. Now most of you read intro to viruses part I and are
wondering why there is so much to such a small thing. Well, to tell you
the truth..I am overcomplicating things to make it easier when you
attemp to try it yourself. Anyway on to the txt.
Alright I ended with methods now its time to elaborate one file
infectors. There are two types, parasitic and overwriting. First I'll talk
about parasitic.
Parasitic viruses can attach themselves to either the front, back or
middle of a file. One it attaches it simply changes the name or size of
the file. It is easily detectable and removable.
The second type are overwriting virus...these are much more
dangerous than parasitic becuase they destroy valuable info on your
comp. They can also remove code and replace it with there own. They
often are very hard to find because they dont change the size of the
Alright here is a couple of examples of viruses
Lehigh Virus
This is one of the first file infector viruses EVER. It was made in 1987
at a college in pennsylvania. It infected a computers harddrive and
from there infected all the floppy that went in.
Boot Viruses
Every disk has a boot sector...if you dont know what one is read intro
to hacking 4. Boot viruses hide themselves and attack in the Boot
Sector. Once a Boot virus has control of your comp. it loads itself into
memory and then lets the boot sector take over again. These are the
hardest viruses to find and in my oppinion they are the biggest pain in
the ass. The boot sector is very small though its only about 512
bytes,..this is way to small for a boot virus to get into so once its in
your computer it breaks itself into parts. One part attacks the Boot the
other part Hides somewere else on the disk. Some Boot viruses that
are real good hide in empty space on the disk and label themselves
"bad sectors" so they cant be overwritten. BOOT VIRUSES CANNOT BE
TRANSFERED BY PHONE LINES!!! Only through floppy's. So if someone
is trying to tell you that he can give you a boot virus tell him "****
This virus was created in 1992 and was a modified version of stoned.
To date it has gone down as the most media popular viruses of all
time. But how could a boot virus be spread so fast? You said it couldn't
be spread by phone? Zcero, you're losing me...! Alright, easily
explained, Leading edge (big com. comp.) accidentally shipped
hundreds of computers with the virus. The media overheard and
jumped on the story like only they could and told everone that millions
of computers would crash on Friday. Friday came and went though and
with exception of a few hundred...nothing happened. In the end the
media was wrong, leading edge was safe and norton etc was rich.
Multipartite viruses.
These are basically just a combo between file infecting and boot
viruses. They were the one of the new breeds for dos hackers
Macro Viruses
These came shortly after the multipartite virus, they can only infect
files created by another program, you might think that sucks but, at
the time they rained supreme over the rest. They infect templates that
define margins, fonts and general info. Every time you create the
macro virus infects and infects again.
The 90's brought a new Os that gave us something rarely seen, GUI. It
was known as Windows 95,..and it would change the future of
computers. Windows would make bill gates billions and would get
steve jobbs fired only to be rehired in the late 90's. Windows to say
the least changed the playing ground for everyone...and left dos virii
creaters in the dust. It wouldn't take long though before windows got
Boza virus
This is the first virus ever to spread under windows 95. It was made
by Austrailian's and was made to attack .exe files. The virus had a bug
though making it virtual useless.
Cruise Viruses
These get their name from the cruise missle not tom. These viruses
are able to hit there target and slip away with a pass or someother
type of important data undetected.
Whether a virus is goof or bad is up to you...they say that a virus can
never be good, I tend to disagree, and because of viruses your
computer is more secure. Whether you like them or not they are real
and if you don't understand them they will become a threat to you and
your computer. In intro to viruses 3, I will talk about prevention and
Below is source code for Bcdeath...its short, outdated, and useless but
still a virus. The code is live if inputted so don't be stupid. This code is
perfect for you to study from as a beginner hacker/coder. I do not
support Black Hat or any of there motives but I do see the purpose of
viruses therefore that is why I'm teaching you how to use them and
how they work. DO NOT **** ME OVER...I only help brothers and
sisters of our causes and if you **** me then you are not part of our
cause but part of another. Just remember what your mom taught you
when she said, "play nice".

I have 9 hours of college classes in one day this term, and the food on campus is AWFUL, so I want to get myself in gear and start doing a proper bento type thing so I'm not starving and end up hitting up vending machines for food.
The catch is that I need something easily portable that will actually hold either two reasonably sized meals, or a decent meal and a couple of hearty snacks. (I can always get something to eat when I get home late, if I haven't had enough, but I need to at least be not actually distractingly hungry, you know?)
I was looking at the Happy Tiffin website and considering a medium or large two-tier, plus one of their lunch bowls just to see what they're like[1]. I had originally been looking at the Laptop Lunch, but several folks told me they thought that might be a bit too small for my needs.
Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions? I'm also curious what the Happy Tiffin bags are like, since I would like an insulated carrier for it, but the ones they have are pretty expensive.
[1] - My mom is on chemo right now and may be having a bone marrow transplant soon, and has been told that during that process, while her immune system is recovering, she shouldn't use plastic containers that are reusable because they can get micro-scratches in them that can harbor bacteria. So the thought is perhaps we'll get a few more for her to use if they seem well-designed.
I would just use two bento boxes, rather than straining to look for a 2-in-one solution. That also helps you differentiate between the two. Be sure to pack things in the dinner bento box that really keep well, or use an ice pack with it, for safety reasons.
The Big Onigiri.
- Wherever you go, there you are. -
I'm not against having two distinct boxes, so long as they can be packed in some way that would keep them together and easy to carry. (Like if they'd sit side-by-side in a nice insulated bag, for example, so I'd just have the one lunch bag in addition to my backpack.) That was one of my thoughts about the tiffins - one level for lunch, one level for dinner.
I am wondering a bit how I'll keep the dinner bento 'safe' - I suspect there will be a lot of tucking in little ice packets (from those blankets you can cut up?) and also using frozen things like edible ice packs. (I don't start classes for another week, so next week I plan to spend some time making fruit-juice jelly cups to freeze, since they can then be edible ice packs plus provide dessert. :) )
I don't really want to eat after 9pm, when I get home, but I may also end up, just for safety reasons, packing more of a 'snack' dinner bento and then having something waiting at home for the real meal, since a lot of snack food type items (fresh vegetables with a frozen container of dressing, for example) do keep better at room temperature.
I have a three tier tiffin, and it's perfect for two meals + snacks, 1 thing per layer (I'm usually packing breakfast + lunch). Mine is a To-Go Ware one (http://www.to-goware.com/) and I've been nothing but pleased. The bottom two layers are about 2 cups each, and the top if 2.5 cups, and it snaps off into its own layer (handy if you have a class day where you just need lunch and want to carry the whole thing.) I find it a lot easier than wrestling with multiple containers/two boxes/what have you, but your mileage will vary and all that.
I got a Happy Tiffin two-layer large (6" diameter) - I drew circles out on paper and it looks like it should be a reasonable size for packing decent meals even if sometimes I do bulkier stuff like a sandwich. I also got an insulated lunch bag that (at least online) looks more like a purse than a lunch bag, and should be able to fit a water bottle or insulated thermos jar also. So fingers crossed it'll work out. :)
(I also got a couple of their lunch bowl things that supposedly seal really well - I want to see how they hold up; I'm thinking if they are leak proof like they claim then I could also use the small one for taking something like yogurt as a snack - plain yogurt with frozen fruit 'cubes' plunked in to keep it cool, and then wrapped in a layer of quilted fabric - I wouldn't count on it to stay cold for the whole 9 hours, but it'd be a nice snack to have during a short break.)
(Of course, there is also a thermal bento set on ebay I have wanted forever that is taunting me - I just really like the design on it - but I am trying to resist. This is how it starts, isn't it? You buy one, and then your kitchen is overrun...)
Actually, speaking of - since you also use a tiffin, are there any bento accessory type items that you really find indispensable? I have a pile of cupcake liner things already (yay, holiday sales) but I'm trying to convince myself that no, I do not actually need heart and star shaped egg molds at this time, or those pink and blue pig bottles that come with wing stickers. (Flying pigs! They crack me up! But I hardly ever use soy sauce as a condiment so what would I use them for?)
Regarding the cute egg molds and pig-shaped bottles: You don't NEED them, but they are very cheerful. For my gluten-free kids, bento lunch means their friends envy them instead of feeling sorry for them, so cute egg molds are worth a little money, and they're pretty cheap on Amazon. The pig bottles can hold olive oil and vinegar, or catsup that is a bit watered down. If you have room for them and a bit of spare cash, they are good conversation starters and make your lunch more fun.
I have several tiffin tins, three of which I bough at HappyTiffin.com. The other one I bought at World Market Cost Plus (I live in Pacific Northwest/Seattle region) and although its an inferior design and stainless quality, it still does the job. I love stainless containers for several reasons - durability, no nasties leeching into food, super easy to clean, darn good looking - and have never been disappointed in my choice. I have bought several as gifts and they're always well received (and they're gender-neutral, so guys love them too). My large two-tier tiffins are awesome for packing a lot of food. I either wrap the tin and accessories (chopsticks/silverware, etc) in a furoshiki cloth or stick it in my neoprene insulated bag and toss in an ice pack if I know it's going to be warm weather. Works terrific for keeping food chilled for several hours!
I also have a number of bento boxes in various sizes and shapes and they're great for getting my bento on, but for sheer performance and functionality, I grab my tiffin every time, and I can still pack it bento-style with how I arrange my food. My personal preference on microwaving is that I *do not* microwave *at all*. I am against using them and choose to either eat room temperature food or pack a thermos if I know I'll be in need of something hot. The added bulkiness is totally worth it for me because I am making a choice to maintain the integrity of food that I took the time to prepare in the most healthful way. As far as thermoses keeping food hot for long periods of time - I always preheat my vessel with boiling water for at least five minutes prior to filling it with the extremely hot (boiling, if possible) food. I can open my thermos many hours later and it will be very hot. Preheating is key!
The little squeeze bottles are great fun factor and I put hot sauce, vinegar, oils, mayo, honey, and soy sauce in mine. I also have small glass containers and stainless tins that I picked up very cheap at specialtybottle.com. You can buy any quantity you wish and most items are less than a dollar each! I have used them for years and have never had one break. I have found buying from that site is actually cheaper than going to the dollar store and looking for alternative plastic sauce bottles that may or may not be food safe. With glass and stainless, I can't go wrong.
I hope you enjoy your tiffin tin and good luck with your classes. That's an incredibly grueling schedule!
You should check for microwave ovens on campus as well. Thermal products are great, but they are heavy. If you know there's a convenient microwave, you can use lighter containers.
Most Japanese bento containers can be microwaved without their lids on. Tupperware has some nifty containers that have steam vents, so you don't have to remove the lid at all.
There is *a* microwave (just one!) but I'm waiting to see what the room assignments will be so I can find out if I'll have time to use it. (We don't really have a campus, since the college is in the middle of downtown and has just sort of grown here and there as space in buildings became available, so some of the buildings are quite close and you'd have time to run and use the microwave, and others aren't.)
I have a thermal jar/mug thing already - I think for warm meals I may be stuck doing something like getting the jar and a stew or chili or curry really quite warm, and then pouring that out over room-temperature rice to eat. (Possibly not ideal from the perspective of food safety, combining two temperatures like that, but if I eat it right away it shouldn't be too much of a problem since it won't be in the 'risk zone' for that long.)
Hi i have been looking for a lunch pale to keep all my healthy food cold and i finally found the solution! Packit! Im gone from 8am till 11pm and was so sick of either buying all my meals or my food going bad like cheese and yogurt. My friend showed me one day her new personal cooler/ lunch bag, she said its keeps everything refrigerator cold for atleast 10 hours. I didnt believe her so she let me barrow it for a week bc she has more then one because she liked a couple looks they had. So i used it the first day and was in amazed that at 7pm i reached for my cheese and my cheese was still hard and not all soft and mushy! From that day on i always bring my meals with me!
i did research on this project and basically here is what i found!
its amazing its a foldable, freezable lunch bag! the non toxic gel is actually built right into the liner of the bag. you simply fold the bags and store them in the freezer until you need them. pull them out, pack healthy foods you never could before, and GO! they keep everything refrigerator cold for 10 hours with out the bulkyness of added ice or gel packs. And its echo friendly!!!!
there website is www.packit.com its worth looking at!

Since I asked, I thought I'd comment again now that I've used the Happy Tiffin I got -
First, I'm pleased with the overall construction of it. It's pretty easy to get open (I struggle a little bit with the top, which fits on with a friction fit, but that's something I always have trouble with) and holds together very nicely.
The large size with two layers is EASILY plenty of food for a lunch and dinner for me, at least when packed in a traditional bento style with rice. The bottom with a layer of brown rice and a quick 'chicken salad' made by mixing some canned chicken breast with soy sauce and some seasonings (I was in a hurry) was actually almost too much, and it wasn't even full to the top. The top (thinner) layer was my lunch layer, and I had plenty there, as well, although I just took a sandwich of peanut butter on raisin bread, plus some random snack items like a couple of squares of chocolate.
My first outing definitely had something to be desired in terms of variety (next time, more fresh vegetables and fruit, for a start) but overall it sees like the tiffin should work out pretty well. Someone with a smaller appetite would probably do better with a medium (or even a small, if you generally pack rice-dense meals.)
I have an insulated lunch bag that it fits into nicely, and I helped it keep cold by putting a bottle of water in the freezer and then packing that in with the tiffin. By the time I was ready for dinner the bottle was melted enough to drink, and the bottom layer, while not totally chilled, was an acceptably cold temperature. (I probably still wouldn't pack something likely to go off, like a mayo-based salad, for dinner, but I'm reasonably happy I'm not likely to give myself food poisoning as long as I'm sensible about my choices.)
Also, while it's not really marketed this way, I'm pretty sure the top tier (with the friction-fit lid) could be used independently if you wanted to do so - maybe put a bento band around it for added security, or tie it up in a napkin, but the lid does fit pretty reasonably. I will quite probably use just the top tier later in the term, when I have a 4 hour class on Saturdays, to take a selection of snacks.
When I pack something that actually looks nice and has had some thought put into it, I'll take photos. :)
Thanks for the update; glad its working out for you! Look forward to the photos =)

With the October 2013 appearance of another peaceful anarchist/voluntaryist on Red Ice Radio, I decided to compile a list of all their appearances on Red Ice Radio, and draw attention to the fact that they are all banned from Zionist-controlled Coast to Coast AM, according to the former host, Ian Punnett.
October 2013
Marc Stevens – Hour 1 – Government Violence & The Stockholm Syndrome
August 2013
Nathan Fraser – Hour 1 – The Crumbling System of Law & Authority
July 2013
Larken Rose – Hour 1 – Violence of the State & The "Terrorists" Rebellion
June 2013
Walter Block – Hour 1 – Libertarian Philosophy & Anarcho-capitalism
October 2012
Nathan Fraser – Anarchism & Sovereignty
September 2012
Larken Rose – The Government Con
April 2012
Stefan Molyneux – Initiation of Force, Freedom from Illusion & Parenting
For more on who the Zionists are behind Coast to Coast AM, see my article here.
I'll note that this may change, however, with their cynical attempts to respond to increasing scrutiny of their gatekeeping, by having David John Oates back after being banned nearly 15 years, and having Michael Rivero on not long after I wrote the article about him, Jeff Rense and Stephen Lendman being banned from the show, because of their staunchly anti-Zionist positions.
I also think you have the right to hear from them, being that I aim to provide a truly alternative media platform. You can find my articles with some of them here:

In a back corner of The Lemon Bar, a popular Neptune Beach watering hole, is where Chris Dickerson's Corner Taco got its start three years ago. After succeeding in that oceanfront spot, he took the leap into the food truck scene, buying a 1965 Airstream trailer to peddle his self-proclaimed "semi-swanky tacos."
That's all history now. Dickerson's dream of opening a brick-and-mortar restaurant came true in February. Occupying the former Gina's Deli location, his 5 Points eatery touts fare made of fresh ingredients, local craft beers on draft, plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, and decorative strings of globe lights to replicate that singular food truck experience.
Every morning, the staff cranks up a tortilla maker, one of only two in the state (the other is at EPCOT), sending through a mound of fresh dough; moments later, a pile of fresh corn tortillas is born. No preservatives here, folks.
As the name suggests, get the tacos: $3.45 nabs you a carnitas (cooked for 24 hours!), crispy Dijon buttermilk-fried chicken, jerk chicken or local Artie's tempeh taco. For another buck, you can snag a semi-swanktacular taco — brisket, seared asparagus with flaked Maldon sea salt, mahi or a vegan hummus-and-tabouli taco aptly dubbed The 5 Points. Tacos come atop shredded red cabbage, sweet chile-lemon sauce and sprigs of cilantro, with lime wedges to squeeze. The portions are modest, but Corner Taco aims to leave you satisfied, not stuffed. There's also no cheese, shredded iceberg lettuce or diced pico de gallo like you find at other taco joints around town.
The Dyno-Mite ($9.95, plus $3.45 for added protein) is a hefty mound of crispy Dijon buttermilk fried chicken, marinated chicken or carnitas atop tortilla chips smothered with a homemade creamy white cheddar and brie fondue, chopped piquillo peppers, halved grape tomatoes, lime wedges and fresh cilantro. It's smart to share.
Sides clock in from $2.95 to $4.95. The Carolina rice pilaf, quinoa, and black beans with country ham and porcini broth are good accompaniments, but the real winner is the perfectly cooked — not mushy or crunchy — seared asparagus ($5.95). I gobbled it up like candy. And definitely go for guacamole with chips ($5.75), which is made-to-order, super-creamy and of a gorgeous green hue.
The joint is open Tuesday through Sunday, and it's likely you'll run into the energetic, friendly Dickerson himself greeting customers and boasting about the ingredients. Grab a local craft beer and snag a seat at the bar.
You'll become instant pals.

There's also a rather odd "moral choice" system integrated into the game. At times, you will be able to choose between two paths, the "legend" path or the "hero" path. The hero path is almost always easier than the legend path, and while choosing one or the other may alter the story a tiny bit, the outcome is almost always the same. The choice honestly comes off as kind of stupid. It's literally asking you whether or not you want to be a good guy or also a good guy. It would make a magnificent satire of moral choice systems if it weren't actually trying to be taken seriously.
The combat of Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 is essentially the same combat we have seen in Naruto games in the past. Combos are more often than not relegated to timed presses of a single primary attack button, while specials and signature attacks use up your Chakra, which needs to be charged. You can still use a Substitution Jutsu to disappear out of an opponent's string and reappear behind them to lay on the hurt. Unfortunately, many battles still do come down to chicken races of "who substitutes last." It's still very mashable, and while it's amazingly fun in single-player, accurately recreating the feel of an epic Naruto battle, it's still very unbalanced and far too linear for multiplayer play.
The graphics of Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 are absolutely astounding. I would almost say they make up for whatever shortcomings the gameplay suffers from. The cel-shaded animations are far more fluid than the anime ever was. It doesn't look like a moving anime; it actually looks better. These are some of the best graphics we have seen on this generation of consoles. Characters move fluidly, strikes hit with a force that you can almost feel, and quick time events, while still shallow, are filled to the brim with anime-style spectacle. If anything can be said about the game, it's that it's pretty.
In terms of audio, the game is also a cut above the rest. Gamers can choose from both English and Japanese voices, so purists can hear all the "Dattebayos" they want. While you may have your own opinions about the English Naruto cast, they do a solid job here and provide a fine alternative for the softcore Otkau crowd.
Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 seems to finally understand who it is appealing to. Its Ultimate Adventure mode is an absolute joy if you are a fan of the anime. It has great action, amazing cutscenes, superb voice acting, and, although it has a few weird diversions that could have been dropped, it's a fun experience nonetheless. Unfortunately, that's all the game is: a wonderful single-player experience for die-hard Naruto fans. It falls short in multiplayer depth, but this isn't anything new for the franchise. You have to play through the single-player mode to unlock all of the game's expansive roster in multiplayer, but once you do you will essentially have experienced all the game has to offer.
