If you must celebrate with drink, make sure you don't drive.
One would think that needing to warn people not to drive drunk on New Year's Eve would be unnecessary.
For a generation now, we've been inundated with anti-drinking and driving messages. There has been no shortage of horrific alcohol-related crashes that have made headlines about people left dead and maimed. And in an evermore safety-conscious society, common sense about not getting behind the wheel while loaded should prevail.
Yet we know there are going to be too many jolly good folks who are going to leave a bar or party sometime after midnight tonight with a blood-alcohol content above the legal limit. And we know they are going to pose a risk to themselves and others, with only the grace of God left to protect them.
The legal limit. If you have three or more alcoholic drinks in your system, there is a very good chance you run the risk of driving either while your ability is impaired or while you are intoxicated.
Your body processes alcohol at the rate of about one drink per hour, so if you're drinking more than one drink per hour for several hours, you should not be driving.
The law. Driving while intoxicated is a misdemeanor offense punishable by up to one year in jail. A repeat offense can be considered a felony punishable by prison time. A conviction can mean loss of your license and a hefty fine as well.
It is utterly illogical to be a law-abiding citizen by day and then a potential jailbird at night because you made the wrong choice after drinking.
The loved ones. It's been nearly a decade since four students died in an alcohol-related crash on the Colgate University campus in Hamilton, N.Y. The images of those young faces continues to haunt, and for many years, families of the victims conducted publicity campaigns and public appearances to drive home the impact of their loss.
Those students would be in their late 20s today, probably holding down good careers, perhaps planning marriages and families, keeping in touch with their parents and siblings.
Imagine the hole that remains in the hearts of those family members, and then make sure you never do anything to contribute to anyone's similar loss.
When the clock strikes 12 tonight, we enter a new decade, one that holds all sorts of promise and potential. Be sure you're there to experience it — do not drink and drive.


Bernard Lawrence 'Bernie' Madoff (born April 29, 1938) is a Jewish-American financier accused of one of the largest financial frauds in history.
Until December 12, 2008 he had been the chairman of Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC, which he founded in 1960. On December 12, 2008 he was arrested by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, acting on a tip-off from his son, and charged with fraud. Federal judge Louis L. Stanton has frozen Madoff's assets, and appointed Lee Richards as receiver. The firm has been one of the top market maker firms on Wall Street, and also had an investment management business.
The "Ponzi Scheme" fraud is alleged to involve $50 billion and to have taken place over decades. To date it is the largest investor fraud ever attributed to a single individual. Amongst others, Spanish, French, Swiss, and Italian banks have announced that they have lost over a billion U.S. dollars from the Madoff affair.
Madoff is also a prominent Jewish philanthropist. The freeze of Madoff's assets has significantly affected a number of Jewish charities with major operations in Israel, one of which – the Lappin Jewish Foundation – had to close.
you know were all the stolen money now!!
In the banks of Israel where all the ameriacn jews keep their money ,to promote israel not promoting the countries which keep them ,giving them homes and opportunities but they will never help these countries and actually they are never loyal to these countries ..they are only collecting money to keep it in israel to promote the israeli economy firstly and impoting israeli products to the countries they are living in ..Double Scams…..
This is simply the biggest jew to get caught swindling money. What about the thousands of other jews who do the same every day? What about the entire state of Israel that lies to, cheats and steals from the world? Madoff is just an example of a larger problem and the inherent, central element in jew culture.
Every body knows that money is seductive, some times can be like a Cold Beer in the Desert (Hmmmmm Beeeeeer) any way, we need to colonize the rest of the world, and Educate every one on this planet, and Exterminate: People who abuse of: Children, animals, the forest, the environment, and the elders.
In the other side, we have to look China very close, because a Nuclear war is coming!
Sorry, senor Bernardito, I forgot, si estamos aqui en Las Ciudades Gemelas (Twin Cities) en el estado de Minnesota, of course USA. Hasta la vista.
well, The biggest fraud played out by a jew is Jesus the Christ. look at how many people he misled and took to hell.
I happened to be in a mailing list of a jewish charity who would send out mails that tear your heart when a jew was killed in israel. But would not speak a single word when an arab kid or woman was killed. Then I realized that charity is an industry for some, They are adept in exploiting your sympathies for monetary purposes.
If he was Arab, this would never have happened. Any weird transaction and he would be investigated to see if he was financing 'terror', getting money from Arab regimes, using money to feed Gazan 'terrorists', etc.
However, because Madoff was a Jew he could get away with it. He joins all other Jewish criminals who have gone before him: Nadel, Marcus Shrenker, Sonya Kohn, etc.
Jews can get away with this in every white Christian nation because most white Christians are guilt-ridden, holocaust obsessed, castrated, dumbed-down pieces of racist crap!!!!


Electrical alternans is a broad term that describes alternate-beat variation in the direction, amplitude, and duration of any component of the ECG waveform (ie, P, PR, QRS, R-R, ST, T, U). It was first recognized by Hearing in 1909 and further characterized by Sir Thomas Lewis in 1910 as occurring "either when the heart muscle is normal but the heart rate is very fast or when there is serious heart disease and the rate is normal." Kalter and Schwartz first identified electrical alternans on surface ECG in 1948.  Electrical alternans must be distinguished from mechanical alternans (eg, pulsus alternans), although both may coexist.
The pathophysiologic mechanisms that cause electrical alternans can be divided into 3 categories: (1) repolarization alternans (ST, T, U alternans), (2) conduction and refractoriness alternans (P, PR, QRS alternans), and (3) alternans due to cardiac motion. True electrical alternans is a repolarization or conduction abnormality of the Purkinje fibers or myocardium. The cellular mechanism behind electrical alternans is thought to be due to abnormal calcium cycling, either impaired release or impaired reuptake of sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium.  Electrical alternans due to cardiac motion is effectively artifact, as the heart swings in relation to the chest wall and electrodes, with a period twice that of the heart rate.
Repolarization alternans can be further subclassified as T-wave alternans and ST-segment alternans. T-wave alternans is associated with rapid changes in heart rate or prolongation of the QT interval. A long QT interval is associated with polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (ie, torsade de pointes); therefore, T-wave alternans is a possible precursor to torsade de pointes.
T-wave alternans has been reported with congenital long QT syndrome  , electrolyte imbalances (eg, hypocalcemia, hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia), treatment with quinidine or amiodarone  , hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, alcoholic cardiomyopathy, congestive heart failure, and acute pulmonary embolism. T-wave alternans has also been reported following cardiac resuscitation. Most importantly, the presence of T-wave alternans can be used as a predictor of ventricular tachyarrhythmic events, such as sudden cardiac death [5, 6, 7] , [8, 9, 10] sustained ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) therapy for ventricular tachyarrhythmia, and cardiac arrest.
ST-segment alternans describes alternating levels of ST elevation, usually in the presence of myocardial ischemia. It has been reported with vasospastic angina pectoris, acute myocardial infarction, nonvasospastic angina pectoris, during exercise tests, during percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA), and after subarachnoid hemorrhage.  ST alternans during acute ischemia has been associated with appearance of ventricular arrhythmia, including ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation.
Conduction alternans is an alternation of impulse propagation along any of the anatomic structures involved in conveyance of electrical impulse and is usually precipitated by changes in heart rate or input from nervous, humoral, or pharmacologic components. Conduction alternans may be seen in the setting of myocardial ischemia, atrial fibrillation, Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, rheumatic heart disease, acute pulmonary embolism, myocardial contusion, and left ventricular dysfunction. It may manifest on the surface ECG as alternation of the P wave, QRS complex, PR interval, R-R interval, or any combination of these. QRS alternans during narrow complex tachycardia has been suggested as a marker for orthodromic atrioventricular (AV) reentrant tachycardia using an accessory pathway as a retrograde limb.
Electrical alternans associated with cardiac motion is due to alternation in the position of the heart with relation to recording electrodes. The most common underlying disorder is an enlarged pericardial sac; however, not all pericardial effusions cause electrical alternans. The presence of pericardial disease and total electrical alternans (P, QRS, and T wave) frequently suggests cardiac tamponade, but total electrical alternans is seen in only 5-10% of patients with cardiac tamponade. Heart movement in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy also may result in electrical alternans of this type.
Incidence of electrical alternans is estimated to be about 1-6 of 10,000 ECGs. Overall, QRS alternans is the most common type. ST alternans incidence has been reported as 5–7.7% of patients during PTCA using intracoronary ECG recordings. T-wave alternans was observed in 45% of patients with congenital long QT syndrome after examining 24-hour Holter monitors.
The finding of electrical alternans does not alter the morbidity and mortality rates of the underlying cause or association.

A vital voice of Canadian folk returns with a new album, Angels of Death, on May 18.
I first saw Jennifer Castle in the basement of a hotel in 2014, the same year she released her stunning, acclaimed fourth album Pink City. If memory serves, she played solo, sitting on the ground with her guitar. Her powerful, celestial voice gave her rich folk compositions even more distinction, and by the time she got to my favorite track of hers ,"Neverride," I was totally rapt.
Jennifer Castle's new album Angels of Death is out May 18 via Paradise of Bachelors/Idée Fixe. Preorder it here.


Anything brilliant and multi-sensory for latin/greek word roots?
From Singapore 5 to BJU 6 + Beast Academy?
I second the sonlight suggestion for history and literature. It is *great* for an avid reader. It's not a textbook, but almost always uses a spine that connects thing and the books are an incredible way to learn history and makes it so memorable. Love it!
I used Singapore through 6 then went to BJU pre-algebra. I also use Singpore as my basic scope and sequence and add in more practice to address trouble spots with parts of other programs I think it might actually be helpful to do some of BJU before pre-algebra. Like you said it has a wider scope so you could cover some topics Singapore doesn't and the Jump in workload from Singapore to BJU is significant, I thought. So it might be a gentler introduction if you were already doing a page a week or something like that from BJU. I also agree that if you have a strong math student the CWP are a great supplement to take their thinking deeper.
I have used it twice with my eighth graders. I didn't use all of it in the sense that I didn't require them to do the extra writing projects and research projects and we discussed everything instead of filling in blanks. I did push for them to do the one paragraph per chapter that basically was "this is what I believe" on this subject and encouraged them to do some of the scripture study on their own, hoping to grow their ownership a bit. We used it with the expectation of exposure and discussion starters. I think it did that really well. I particularly liked the videos in the first sections done by cedarville (I think) The content was good and clear. Some of the later videos were alittle dated. (I do have the first edition. ) The second half deals with different issues marriage, law, government, politics, history. As it walked through those I struggled just because while I desire for my kids to be critical thinkers, if they are going to be it is going to come from their dad not me!! But it was good that we could draw him into the conversation some. I think it was a great opportunity for my daughter particularly to articulate herself alittle more and ask some questions. For my son, I didn't have too much bandwidth for much discussion that year, but I still think it was helpful. There wasn't too much I disagreed with, there was some, but that gave us the opportunity to discuss the different sides. I will use it again.
I would completely agree there is no need for alarm,but I might also try some things to encourage them to engage their mind alittle more and practice listening well. If they aren't interested I don't want them developing a habit of checking out. Maybe I would not read the whole chapter before stopping to ask questions or what they remember. Or maybe I just wouldn't read the whole chapter at all, sometimes there is more than one topic in a chapter and maybe just one is enough, skip the other. And definitely picture books are always good way to engage more and help them remember.
Singapore Math Users: How did you deal with the lack of negative numbers?
I would agree with most of this, mystery science was fun, but for some reason was harder for me to sit and actually do with him. i love noeo , mostly because it was open and go and get it done. The biggest thing was it was doable and it got done. At times it felt light, but when my kids got through level 2 I was very pleased with their science knowledge. For the notebooking we focused on writing down definitions and drawing some pictures (when subject called for a picture). Towards 6th grade I was trying to get more of an outline or narrations. After a couple times through the program the experiments were less exciting, but again, they got done. Best thing about it. The books are much more visual friendly and interesting than a text book, we particularly liked the chem 2 and one year I had energy and paired it with middle school chemistry by ACS awesome!

The oil-dispersion bath in anthroposophic medicine – an integrative review

Anthroposophic medicine offers a variety of treatments, among others the oil-dispersion bath, developed in the 1930s by Werner Junge. Based on the phenomenon that oil and water do not mix and on recommendations of Rudolf Steiner, Junge developed a vortex mechanism which churns water and essential oils into a fine mist. The oil-covered droplets empty into a tub, where the patient immerses for 15–30 minutes. We review the current literature on oil-dispersion baths.
The following databases were searched: Medline, Pubmed, Embase, AMED and CAMbase. The search terms were 'oil-dispersion bath' and 'oil bath', and their translations in German and French. An Internet search was also performed using Google Scholar, adding the search terms 'study' and 'case report' to the search terms above. Finally, we asked several experts for gray literature not listed in the above-mentioned databases. We included only articles which met the criterion of a clinical study or case report, and excluded theoretical contributions.
Among several articles found in books, journals and other publications, we identified 1 prospective clinical study, 3 experimental studies (enrolling healthy individuals), 5 case reports, and 3 field-reports. In almost all cases, the studies described beneficial effects – although the methodological quality of most studies was weak. Main indications were internal/metabolic diseases and psychiatric/neurological disorders.
Beyond the obvious beneficial effects of warm bathes on the subjective well-being, it remains to be clarified what the unique contribution of the distinct essential oils dispersed in the water can be. There is a lack of clinical studies exploring the efficacy of oil-dispersion baths. Such studies are recommended for the future.
Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) has become increasingly popular over the last decades. Several surveys suggest an increasing demand and use of CAM in almost all western nations[1]. While in these surveys CAM was reported to be mainly used for common diseases like allergic reactions and common cold, we have to state a much broader variety of diseases covered by an expanding spectrum of CAM therapies.
One of the whole medical systems of CAM, which is quite popular in Germany, is the Anthroposophic Medicine (AM), introduced by Rudolf Steiner in the beginning of the 20th century [2]. Based on a comprehensive view of the human body, health in AM conceptually depends on a harmonious relationship and interaction between the physical body, vital force, soul, and ego [3]. Therefore, therapies of AM may address each of these four entities to support the reestablishment of their harmonious interrelations (e.g., to enhance the salutogenetic capacities of the patients, or to strengthen their autonomy [4]).
Over the time, AM has developed a variety of pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapies. With respect to pharmacological therapies of AM, interventions like mistletoe therapy for cancer treatment [5–7] or Cardiodoron, a composition of extracts of blossoms from Primula officinalis and Onopordon acanthium and from the herbs of Hyoscyamus niger for cardio-respiratory coordination [8, 9], have been subject of several investigations from both basic research to systematic review or meta-analysis.
Among elderly patients with chronic diseases, 2% use AM applied by medical doctors, and at least 4% of patients with cancer [10] – although more 50–70% of cancer patients may use plant extracts from Viscum album which are part of the AM concept to treat cancer patients. Thus, these 2–4% stated above probably represent a lower bound of the factual usage by the population.
In addition, AM offers a variety of non-pharmacological therapies, but only few such therapies have been investigated extensively. It has been shown that Anthroposophic Speech Therapy has an impact on cardiovascular oscillations (e.g., cardiorespiratory synchronization during hexameter recitation [11]), and may have beneficial effects on the cardiorespiratory interaction [12]. Whether these effects may have a 'cardio-preventive effect' or not, remains to be clarified. On the other hand it has been shown that slow breathing improves baroreflex sensitivity and decreases blood pressure in essential hypertension [13]. Because speech therapy employs similar breathing patterns with low breathing frequencies, such effects are supposable. Other non-pharmacological therapies such as Rhythmic Embrocation showed an improvement of pain perception and mood in patients with chronic pain [14], while Rhythmic Massage resulted in a long-term reduction of disease symptoms and quality of life in patients with chronic diseases [15] A recent systematic review investigated the clinical effects of Anthroposophic Eurythmy Therapy [16] and stated positive treatment effects with clinically relevant effect sizes in most cases.
In the context of balneology, AM offers a unique contribution, i.e., the Oil Dispersion Bath (ODB). In 1920, Rudolf Steiner, the founder of Anthroposophy suggested the use of finely-dispersed oil in water in [17]. Analogous to the process of oil synthesis in plants and fruits (e.g. olives, 'oil forming process'), he suggested to enable the patients by activating his salutogenetic capacities of the organism with water as a mediator for the essential oils. According to Steiner, if a patient's 'warmth organism' is affected or weakened, one may connect it to the 'warmth processes' of nature, i.e., the 'oil forming process' of flowering plants, and thus introduce finely dispersed oil into a bath to strengthen the weakened 'warmth organism' of the patient [17]. According to AM, the oils are related to the ethereal 'flowering process' of plants (in terms of a formation or accumulation of 'warmth') and address particularly the 'self organization' which in turn has an influence on its 'warmth organism'. Based on these recommendations, in the 1930s, the massage therapist and medical bath attendant Werner Junge began to develop a system for very fine oil dispersal in water and developed a vortex mechanism which churns water together with essential oils into a fine mist [18]. The oil-covered water droplets empty into a 35 to 37°C (95 to 99°F) warm water tub, where the patient immerses for 15–20 minutes (Fig. 1).

Main indications are the regulation of the 'warmth organism', particularly in patients with arthrosis, gout, and arteriosclerosis [19], but also neurological conditions such as polyneuropathia [20], to improve hypotonic blood pressure [21], and improvement of the 'structuring metabolization' in terms of a tendency to deformation [21, 19]. Patients with cardiovascular diseases or neurological diseases may use slightly colder bathes, i.e., 32 to 34°C (90 to 93°F).
The assortment of the oils, according to the criteria of AM are as follows: Oils from roots are used to strengthen the nervous system; oils from flowers are applied to enhance the capacities of the metabolic system; oils from seeds are supposed to impact the heart and oils from fruits are recommended for improving vascular circulation.
After the bath, the patients should be covered in dry and warm clothes and blankets for at least half an hour in a quiet atmosphere to let the applied warmth saturate the body [19].
Although experts often recommend ODB and despite of its frequent usage in the treatment of in-patients in anthroposophic hospitals (in most cases ODB are applied daily and later three times per week) together with other therapies of AM, still less is known about the physiological and clinical effects. We pragmatically intended to overview the current literature on this unique therapy in a systematic review.
We intended to search for English, French or German language case reports, studies and controlled trials which address specific treatment effects of ODB in a clinical setting without any restrictions to indications or outcome measures. Comments, opinions, and theoretical considerations were excluded. To get a first overview, the following databases were used: Medline, PubMed, Embase, AMED and CAMbase. The search terms were "oil dispersion bath", "oil bath" and their respective translations in German and French. Moreover, an internet search was performed using Google Scholar adding the search terms "study" and "case report" to the above search terms. Finally, we screened the literary estate of Werner Junge and asked several experts for gray literature, i.e., material not found in conventional channels such as publishers with a lack of strict bibliographic control, and thus not listed in the above mentioned databases.
All articles found this way were fully read and their reference lists were checked for further relevant publications. The complete search was performed between June and October 2007. Report identification was performed by GB, TO and AB for the clinical studies, and as an additional reviewer for the experimental studies by DC. Data extraction was primarily performed by GB, and checked by TO and AB. We analyzed the full length articles rather than just the abstracts. Disagreements were resolved by consensus.
As the studies were quite heterogeneous including a variety of perspectives, but not any randomized controlled trial, we decided to classify them with respect to indication, treatment setting, research design, the number of patients involved and the outcome measures/results given in the studies/reports. The reporting of the results adhered, if possible and appropriate at all to the MOOSE guidelines [22]. Relying on a checklist for the assessment of methodological quality of the identified studies was dispensable, because the identified studies were almost weak in methodological quality at all. Nevertheless, we intended to refer to the clear description of aim and objective, outcome measures, characteristics of included patients, follow up/drop outs, interventions, principal confounders; participants representative; blinding, randomization, multicenter, same recruitment period. Because most of these issues were not fulfilled in the identified studies, we decided to describe the main relevant flaws in the results.
After excluding theoretical work, descriptive literature and brochures and leaflets of pharmaceutical industries with limited scientific background, we identified 12 relevant articles. Among them, 1 prospective clinical study, 3 experimental studies (enrolling healthy individuals), 5 case reports, and 3 field-reports. The methodological quality of most studies was weak (i.e., presentation of inconclusive results, limited description of patients' characteristics, unclear process of patient selection, unclear inclusion-/exclusion criteria, unclear therapeutic aims, small number of enrolled patients, no control group, etc.). Main indications were internal/metabolic diseases and psychiatric/neurological disorders. Table 1 gives a detailed overview on indications, setting, study type, and outcome parameters.
Table 1 Design of clinical studies on the effects of ODB and outcome parameter
Physiological and pharmacological effects
Nienhaber [23] investigated the effects of Water Bath, Rosmary-Kneipp-Bath, Rosmary-ODB, Whirl Bath and thermo-indifferent Relaxation Baths (about 30 min) on cardiovascular regulation of eight healthy subjects. After Rosmary-ODB, the orthostatic test showed the largest decrease of standing pulse rate and a strongly subdued increase of diastolic blood pressure. This indicated an improved regulatory capacity in terms of a stabilization after the orthostatic challenge.
In two experimental studies, Römmelt [24, 25] examined the concentration of terpenes from ODB etheric oils in the whole blood of healthy individuals. After 30 minutes ODB, he found a significant increase of the terpene concentration in the blood, indicating its rapid transdermal resorption. Römmelt [24] stated, that the yielded blood concentrations could be of pharmacological relevance.
Clinical effects
The clinical study of Braunstein [26] investigated nine schizophrenic and eight depressive patients who were treated with a series of Thyme-ODB. Main outcome parameters were the vagotonic response as an indicator of physical relaxation and mood as assessed by the patient itself and therapist using a 5-item visual analogue scale according to Aitken, and Zerssens's Bf-S mood inventory. All patients showed a vagotonic shift towards relaxation as indicated by a general decrease of pulse rate and a change of blood pressure according to the initial blood pressure: in patients with elevated blood pressure the blood pressure decreased, whereas patients with normal blood pressure did not change. This effect could be the result of a normalization or regression to the mean, respectively, as suggested for similar effects [27]. Nevertheless, these effects occurred during the ODB and remained also during rest after the bath. While schizophrenic patients showed a significant improvement of well being during time, depressive patients reached maximum improvements of well-being after 5 baths with less inter-rater agreement. However, both the pharmacological and psychotherapeutical treatment of the patients remained unchanged during the course of the study.
The neurologist Rimpau [20, 28] published a field report and stated that ODB was an essential part of therapeutic spectrum of his clinic; it was applied to patients with polyneuropathy, sleep disorders, Parkinson's disease, lumbo-ischialgia, and spastic pareses. He aimed to investigate putative easing effects of ODB on painful polyneuropathy, and experimented with different oils. According to his experience, in-patients receiving 3–5 Rosmary-ODB per week (during a 4–6 week period) may benefit from this intervention. During the first bathes some patients reported a dys-/paresthesia, which improved spontaneously, while some patients showed allergic skin reactions towards the ingredients and had to stop the ODB. All together, among 500 in-patients and 1,000 out-patients, it was stated that about 50 patients with painful polyneuropathy may benefit from the treatment. Unfortunately, no relevant data to underline this suggestion were presented. Moreover, the author was unable to enroll an adequately large sample of patients to conduct a clinical study.
Alles [29] published preliminary results of the ODB effects on patients with diabetes mellitus. This indication is based on theoretical considerations of Rudolf Steiner. Alles stated that according to his experiences, Rosmary-ODB 5× per week within one months and 3× per week for two month may heal patients with type 2 diabetes (non-insulin dependent). In contrast, patients with type 1 diabetes had no improvement of their metabolic situation. However, the results of the mentioned multi-center pilot study were not published.
Although another field study enrolling patients with chronic polyarthritis mentioned a relaxation of patients in the water [30], there were no specific results presented.
The results of the field reports were affirmed by some case reports which were of good descriptive quality in the practical context of the therapists rather than of scientists
Rottenburg [31] showed that ODB was effective in a 4-year old girl suffering on neurodermatitis. Parallel to an improvement in well-being and symptom-relief after a series of ODBs, relapses were reported which diminished in their intensity up to a total regeneration with no more neurodermatitis episodes in the follow up.
Roknic et al. [32] reported about 7 patients with internal or psychiatric/neurological disorders who were treated with ODB among other therapeutic interventions. The authors described general improvements in terms of feelings of inner warmth, openness to future, inner stability, deepened body awareness etc.
Liebing [33] reported on three patients with either hysteria, attention deficit hyperactive disorder or autism, receiving series of ODBs (with Stibium sulfuratum, Hypericum, and Prunus spinosa, respectively). She reported a general improvement, feelings of inner warmth, and developmental improvement (i.e., movements, balance, sense of touch; and joy for life and willingness to learn).
Phethean [34] described the case of a 9-year old boy with developmental delay. After a series of ODB he found him more peaceful, with higher strengthening and inner resolution.
Lavington [35] treated a 12-year old autistic girl and reported a relaxation and inner calming.
This article aims at overviewing the existing literature on the effects of ODB. We found a small number of clinical and field studies which mainly focused on the exploration of physiological effects of ODB. The studies can roughly be subdivided into two groups: (1) mechanisms of transdermal resorption of the oil, and (2) regulatory effects of ODB. While there are good clinical studies which confirm that conventional balneotherapy is an effective treatment modality in elderly patients with osteoarthritis of the knee or with chronic low back pain [36], or can alleviate low back pain [37], there is an obvious lack of clinical studies on ODB which address the unique contribution of the oil dispersal in water.
Several effects could be depending on the medium used. Balogh et al. [37] found that bathing in mineral water resulted in a statistically significant improvement of pain, mitigation of muscle spasm, alleviation of local tenderness, enhanced flexion-extension and rotation of the spine, which persisted as long as 3 months after the completion of balneotherapy. In contrast, hydrotherapy with tap water resulted only in the temporary improvement of just a single parameter: the visual analogue scale score improved significantly.
With respect to the usage of distinct oils dispersed in water, one may refer to findings of Römmelt [24, 25], who found in healthy individuals an increased absorption of terpenes from bath additives containing pine needle oils or rosmary oil. Terpenoids are a subclass of the prenyllipids (i.e., terpenes, prenylquinones, and sterols) and represent the oldest group of small molecular products synthesized by plants. The major components of rosemary oil include monoterpene hydrocarbons (alpha and beta-pinene), camphene, limonene, camphor, borneol, cineole, linalool, and verbinol. Rosemary oil is known to possess marked antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral properties; moreover, its exerts significant antioxidant activities depending on the terpenes [38–40]. Nevertheless, the clinical significance of a higher terpene concentration in the blood of patients or healthy volunteers using ODBs still remains unclear and has to be investigated in clinical studies.
The cardiovascular responses during water immersion show similar effects compared to ODB: a decrease of heart rate and blood pressure [41]. Hence, although the cardiovascular responses during and after ODB indicate beneficial effects, it remains to be explored if the dispersed oil has specific effects on cardiovascular regulation.
Beyond the obvious beneficial effects of warm baths and the therapist's attention on the subjective well-being, it remains to be clarified what the unique contribution of the distinct essential oils dispersed in the water can be. In addition to further basic work that explores how the oil dispersion bath may influence physiological parameters beyond the effects of warm bath alone, well designed controlled clinical studies exploring the efficacy of ODB are strongly recommended to create a profound evidence base for this unique form of treatment.

Keilwerth Crestone Toneking (1957)
This was made by Julius Keilwerth in Germany in 1957. I bought this from Tony at Maggini Supplies around 2001. It was at the beginning of my quest to acquire all historic and unusually saxophones. As usual I made a trip to our local reservoir on a Sunday morning to pick the instrument up from the ack of Tony's car.
Although Crestone is officially a stencil sax, it has identical features to the Keilwerth branded saxes (rolled tone holes, for instance). This example has a stainless steel keyguard on the right hand side. These were interchangeable with clear Lucite ones. There is a Lucite guard on the left hand side. The instrument has silver keys on a gold lacquered body. The bottom keys are on the left, as with most modern saxophones
According to saxpics Julius Keilwerth became the largest saxophone manufacturer in Germany before the second world war with around 150 workers. It managed to survive the Nazi regime which considered the saxophone a 'Western menace', although I've never seen one engraved with Nazi regalia as reported
The company was nationalised in 1948, with the Czech workshops in Graslitz being taken over by the Amati collective Richard Keilwerth worked with Amati until 1949 and Max, until 1951.
Amati saxophones built after the war and into the 50's retained the name Toneking (see below), which Julius Keilwerth had originally used as the name of his top professional-model horns.
Julius Keilwerth fled to Nauheim, Germany in 1947 and moved into a new, larger facility. This company was handed over in 1962 to Julius' son, Josef Keilwerth, and was then sold in 1989 to the French company Buffet (from the group of firms formerly owned by Boosey & Hawkes). The instrument division of the Boosey & Hawkes company was then sold to the Musicgroup company in 2003. Unfortunately Keilwerth has now stopped German production, ending the splendid history of this important quality European manufacturer.
The horn comes in an excellent Lifton case – see Kirtley Music for more.
This is a good semi-professional horn It lacks the finesse of a Selmer or Conn, but holds the intonation well in both octaves. The fingering is reasonably well-balanced, although it's a bit 'clicky'. The tone is strong, but not as loud as it might be. I put this down to the relatively thin metal it's made of: although the story of Charlie Parker's blind test and selection of the plastic Grafton among other mainline brass instruments teaches us that the material a saxophone is made of makes little difference to the tone – either that or the fact that Grafton had marvellous marketing!
Make – Keilwerth (Crestone stencil)
Model – Toneking
Serial Number – 30026
Place of Manufacture – Nauheim, Germany
Finish – Gold lacquer body with silver keys and keyguard
Weight – 4lbs 13 oz
Sound – Light and clear
Ease of Blowing – Wide and easy
Ease of Fingering – Reasonably well balanced, but with slightly 'clinky' keys
More about Keilwerth saxophones can be found currently on the Web from saxpics and Wikipedia.
Do you own a Keilwerth? Have you ever seen one with Nazi insignia? Please let me know by commenting on this post.

I have a slightly earlier version of this alto (mine is serial number 23224 and doesn't have the smaller lucite guard on the inside/ right hand side when facing the bell) – you say yours holds its intonation well in both octaves – can you give any advice on what mouthpiece would work best/ gives best intonation as mine plays sharper in the upper octave with my runyon custom no 5
Martin Hingley, on December 17, 2011 at 4:40 pm said:
A mouthpiece with a soft reed and small tone-chamber and shallow lay (the angle between the reed and the edge of the mouthpiece) will allow you to control the intonation more than the wide open mouthpieces I tend to use. Most new student saxes come with something appropriate – try Yamaha perhaps. However you'll pay for that with a weaker tone. As always you need to listen and pitch in the upper octave. Practice with a tuner for hours. I find my ability to tune the upper octave is getting worse with age unfortnunately. By the way all saxophones compromise on tuning – a bit like the tempering on pianos.
Jim, on February 19, 2012 at 1:07 am said:
Thanks for your advice, I've tried quite a few mouthpieces now and it seems that the best for intonation so far is an old leblanc which has a large chamber – it has quite a small tip opening which is starting to irritate me! I play with an Otto link 7star on tenor so am thinking I need to try the equivalent for alto
Martin Hingley, on February 21, 2012 at 8:45 pm said:
Jim – best of luck with your mouthpiece choice. There's an excellent site which compares the sounds of many mouthpices, but I can't find it today. Perhaps someone else can help.
Gerry Gutensohn, on February 18, 2012 at 1:25 am said:
I have a similar sax but a tenor. Same ss key guard, logo, made in Germany stamp and case. S/n 29922. It belonged to my father who played semi professionally. I know this is not a buy-sell site, but if anyone is interested contact me. I'm not a sax player, and I'd rather it be in the hands of someone who plays or appreciated these instruments.

It depends on its condition. The cost of replacing pads could be as much as £250 or more these days. Vintage Keilwerth stencils don't appear very often on eBay, so it's difficult to value. You should do it up and learn to play.

I use to when i was you but im dont have the time and its just collecting dust. Noone seems to know the value here in canada. And i cant seem to find a place to put it for sale or know the value. Do yoy have an email that i could send you some picture? Or could you maybe refer me to someone please.

This is not a site for buying or selling instruments. I suggest you try you local music store or eBay.

The last one sold for $464 on EBAY. Mine is now listed from 1959 model and I will let you know.
It is a Jean Barre model, I expect to get between $500 – $600.

With rapid population growth in the Arab region —crossing the threshold of 400 million in 2016— a predominantly harsh arid environment, and many protracted conflicts, food insecurity has become a major challenge for many Arab countries.
Despite an increase in the average Food Production Index from 82.6 in 2000 to 118.8 in 2013, several Arab countries continue to face serious problems in agriculture production, due to limited economic resources, low technology levels, limited crop patterns and environmental limitations. In the United Arab Emirates and Syria, the Food Production Index reached 68.2 and 82.4 in 2013, respectively.

Within the international drugs market, Argentina is a "trans-shipment" country for cocaine. Recent decades have seen an increase in the consumption of narcotic and psychotropic substances in the country, and in recent years laboratories for the production of cocaine hydrochloride, though not on the scale of those in Colombia, Peru, or Bolivia, have begun to appear. The laws designed to prosecute drug crimes have failed to reduce the scale of trafficking and have resulted instead in the imprisonment of people in vulnerable situations.
During the 20th century, drug policies in Colombia were increasingly repressive, largely ineffective, and heavily influenced by the international legal framework that was put in place. In effect, in just a few years Colombia went from having a scattered set of regulations, with an emphasis on prevention and medical-administrative treatment, to having legislation abundant in definitions of criminal conduct and sanctions that included the full drug cycle, from production through marketing and trafficking to consumption.
Uruguay has one of the most advanced drug policies on the continent. In Uruguay, the law does not criminalize drug use or possession of drugs for personal use. In addition, in recent years its national drug policies have prioritized the prosecution of medium and large-scale traffickers rather than focusing resources and energy on small-time dealers who are easily replaced. This country study examines the scope of the legislation, the policies developed and how the normative and policy frameworks find expression in Uruguay's prison system, with a special focus on the population incarcerated for drug-related offenses.

Cardiac Louisville Cardinals Knock Off Miami 55-53
The University of Louisville basketball Cardinals (21-6, 9-5 ACC) came into their match up with Miami (17-20, 7-7) sporting a rank of twelfth, a rank sure to drop considering losses to North Carolina State and Syracuse in their last two games. On Saturday the Hurricanes came to the KFC Yum! Center. It looked as though they would blow the Cardinals away, but Louisville put together an improbably 55-53 win.
Card Nation should be excused for asking, "What's wrong with our Cards." They've lost to two teams they should have beaten by double digits. Chris Jones has been suspended. Coach Rick Pitino said Shaqquan Aaron, the jewel in their previous recruiting class, isn't acting like a Louisville man. Something has to change if the Cardinals want to dance deep into March.
The last time Louisville and Miami met earlier this month, Louisville cruised. Since that loss, Coach Jim Larranaga's Miami team has won 3 of 4. Would it be possible that they smell blood in the water? Would their three guard offense have too much quickness against the Cards more traditional attack?
In the first half, the quickness won out and Miami took an early lead which they didn't relinquish. The Cards held them to 41% shooting but only connected on 24% of their own shots. Louisville also couldn't knock down the three ball whereas Miami could. The Canes went up by as many as 13 points.
Jones didn't start, Quentin Snider did, but he entered the game to a great deal of applause. "Chris was well rested," Pitino said. Aaron also played, "He practiced like a Louisville basketball player." That's all Louisville fans wanted to hear.
Officials also seemed to want to let the contact go to the point that star forward Montrezl Harrell complained visibly to the referee. He was rewarded :45 seconds later with a technical foul for aggressive play on Tonye Jekiri. Aggressive as in hitting Jeriki in the face with the basketball.
"It was a good call," Pitino said. Larranaga claimed Jekiri had a concussion as a result. It healed in about :15 seconds so no permanent damage was done and Miami went to the break with a 29-19 lead.
So that was the day part of the game. Then came the night. Whatever the Cardinal coaching staff told their team at halftime sparked a return to Louisville form. The defense stepped up where they had been shrinking the last few games. And the squad opened the game with a run that briefly gained them the lead.
From there it was back and forth with Miami getting the best of most exchanges but you could seethe Cards weren't out of it. Harrell was a beast in the comeback. He just took over, scoring 21 points, pulling in 14 rebounds and blocking 3 shots to go with 3 steals. Jones returned to the point and scored 17 points and getting five rebounds of his own.
The bench didn't help much. Technically they had 17, but they were all scored by Jones who is the regular starter. No one else could put in points. Chinanu Onuaku continued to clean the glass, however, pulling in 8 rebounds.
It was an off shooting night for Terry Rozier. The leading scorer on the team couldn't get the ball to fall though he too more shots than any other Cardinal. They just didn't go in. His help rebounding, he grabbed 7, helped the Louisville cause. That, more than anything else, illustrates Pitino's point. Even if you're not scoring, you can contribute and you can win.
The coach also harped on deflections, which is not an official stat but something he's been keeping track of since he was a young coach. "Just get the fingernail on the ball and it wins the game."
Louisville has a short turn around time. They next tip it up at Georgia Tech on Monday at 7. They don't return to the KFC Yum! Center until March 4 for a 7pm start against Notre Dame.

The management of natural fire and fuels in wilderness areas of the United States presents a significant dilemma to federal land managers.Wilderness fire management requires balancing mandates to both preserve natural conditions and minimize the impacts of human activities.It also requires consideration of ecological and social values both within and outside of wilderness. In many wilderness and similarlyprotected areas, decades of fire exclusion have resulted in conditions of unnatural vegetation and fuel accumulation. Resulting fires areincreasingly of sizes and intensities unprecedented in fire history records. Although current federal interagency fire policy facilitates the useof natural ignitions (wildland fire use for resource benefits) to restore more natural fire regimes, concerns about damage to natural resources,smoke impacts on surrounding communities, and threats to life and property on adjacent lands result in the suppression of most naturalignitions occurring within wilderness. In addition, natural ignitions outside of wilderness that would otherwise burn into wilderness arecommonly suppressed before they reach the wilderness boundary.
If natural ignitions are not used to restore fire frequencies and intensities characteristic of pre-settlement conditions in wilderness, firemanagers must decide whether to actively manage fire and fuels to restore more natural fire and fuel conditions. Althoughprescribed firemay be an effective means of restoring fire as a natural process, it is done at the cost of sacrificing the important value of wildness, thefreedom from human control or manipulation-one of the core values of wilderness. We review this dilemma about the management andrestoration of fire and fuels in wilderness, and the challenges in determining appropriate and acceptable actions in wilderness.

Tingalin is a unique music instrument based on the Albanian lute Çifteli (meaning "pair of strings").
The app simulates strumming by shaking your device, as if strumming the real instrument. Each strum up or down plays one chord at a time. Continuously strumming plays back the entire melody. You can also play back a melody by swiping the bowl on screen or simply pressing the play button.
Tingalin offers multiple instrument voicings. Each voicing can be tuned to the preferred pitch using the slider control +/- 2 octaves.
The Çifteli is a wooden instrument with a long thin handle and a pear-shaped sound bowl. This two string lute looks similar to Setar, Saz and Tambura; however, its sound is unique. The first string is used to play the notes while the seconds strings acts as a backup harmonic tune.
Tingalin is also great for those wishing to learn how to play the real instrument. Simply slow down the tempo and watch where the notes are played on the handle to follow along.


Using new media and production techniques in your house of worship helps to connect and engage the audience to your message. Used moving lights, consoles and sound systems are great tools to accentuate and bring life to your congregation. Buying new equipment is preferable, but the expense limits you and so buying well maintained used lighting and audio/video is a great solution. So, for example, instead of buying only 6 moving lights for your church from a manufacturer such as Varilite, Martin or Coemar, you are able to purchase 10 or more of these pre-owned lights.
See why Justin Glenn, Media Director at North Point Church, chooses Solaris as his first choice when buying used lighting consoles, audio mixers, video projectors and other well maintained, used stage equipment.
"If you guys are looking for anything in audio, video or lighting, check out Solaris. We have bought things from them and everything that we have gotten from them has been top notch and their customer support has bent over backwards for everything that we have asked."

Live at the Mountain Jam Festival
Grace Potter & the Nocturnals are like a modern-day version of Tina Turner stroking the microphone in a spangled mini-dress while fronting the Rolling Stones circa Sticky Fingers. The proof is there for all to hear on the bands third album for Hollywood Records, hitting this spring, and marks an artistic breakthrough for a vital young band caught in the act of fulfilling its immense promise. Little wonder that Grace and her cohorts have chosen to title it, directly and emphatically, Grace Potter & the Nocturnals.

Live at The Studio
Tokyo Police Club
Since storming on to the scene in '06, TPC have honed in on the kind of proper, pop chops that have given them the inside track on this here music industry of ours. Theirs' are tunes that come packaged with a host of tasty touches hiding inside: acrobatic swirls of guitar, warm and woozy swells of synthesizer, and of course, Dave Monks' endearing, boy next door vocal delivery at the helm of the quartet.
At The Fader Sideshow
The jam indie rock trio White Denim hail from Austin, Texas, where bandmates Josh Block (drums), Steve Terebecki (bass), and James Petralli (guitars, vocals) first set up shop in 2005. All three members were veterans of the Austin scene; Block and Petralli had previously played together in the alt-rock band Parque Torche, while Terebecki was a member of Peach Train. Drawing from a number of punk and garage rock influences, the group fashioned a hard-hitting sound with crunchy guitar riffs and frantic energy.
Live at the Launch Pad
The Wild Feathers
Imagine pointing some beautiful, vintage Mustang convertible down a Middle American highway for a moment. There's a sea of endless prairies and plains stretching out around you. The road; a streak of concrete into the horizon, where the only evidence of civilization exists clustered around gas stations and dive bars at the interstate off ramp. Curiosity gets the best of you and with a flick of the turn signal you're veering off the road right for that roadhouse a place where bikers, truck drivers, and local meat/metal heads, bad ass farmers' daughters, and working-class factory folk all gather when the sun goes down. It's kind of an ultimate American image, right? Shrouded in Red, White, and Blue, cheap beer, and the stench of strong whiskey. And of course there's a band; a swaggering, semi-drunk cyclone of country, blues, folk, and rock whipping all of those colorful characters into an absolute fury. Requires a vivid imagination, I know. But the band? They're very real. They're The Wild Feathers and they're pretty much here to kick your ass.

Phenomenal Handclap Band
The Phenomenal Handclap Band brought their funkadelic sermonizing to Santos Party House for the record release party of their self-titled debut.

Live at the moe. Down Festival
Grace Potter & the Nocturnals grew from the roots of rock & roll in what some might call the old-fashioned way. Their sound? They're a neoclassic rock & roll band possessing bona fide chops, a natural sense of dynamics and a palate containing all the useful colors, and these qualities allow them to stretch out onstage, to riveting effect. Perhaps their greatest asset is the ability to transcend genres, never content to settle into one predefined sound. GPN were once the up-and-coming darlings of the modern jazz and blues scene, receiving incessant comparisons to Norah Jones and Lucinda Williams. Yet their magnetic live shows and dedication to the road earned the band a warm welcoming from the jam-band community, leading to two nominations at the 2006 Jammys. At the same time, their acclaimed album This is Somewhere is a testament to the bands true roots pure rock music.

Live in the Canal Room
Ra Ra Riot. Such an appropriate name. The cheerleader-esque "Ra ra" chant evokes images of high school, all of which can be found in this youthful band. You've got your photogenic prom queens on violin and cello. Your shaggy-haired Drama Club Stud on vocals. Your lovable athletic jock on drums. Your wacky class clowns on guitar and bass. And there's the "Riot" part, which comes close to describing this six-piece's blend of controlled chaos. The songs combine distorted guitar, fat bass, keyboards, orchestrated strings, and vocals. Mix the Arcade Fire with Devo and some coverpage-worthy good looks, and you wouldn't be too far from Ra Ra Riot's enjoyable racket.
Live at the Music Hall of Williamsburg
Ra Ra Riot are on an alluring career trajectory. The band has gone from small-town favorites to big stage stars, and their recent swing through our city for four nights at both The Bowery Ballroom and The Music Hall of Williamsburg seemed the perfect time to capture their ascent.
Starting off as contemporaries to bands like Vampire Weekend, Ra Ra Riot has been something of a slow burner, choosing to develop and nurture a sound rather than cashing in on one, quick aesthetic. Following the release of their polished, Chris Walla produced sophomore album The Orchard, the band now find themselves at a point of promise. The intricacies of their arrangements rival many of the so-called art-rockers, with heaps more accessibility. While The Orchard dropped hooks for heady, reverberated decorations, the ornate finish provides a complimentary side to a band still building its foundation.
Live at Daniel Street Club
This particular show was captured on a sticky summer night June of 2010 at the Daniel Street club in Milford Connecticut. Though filming in an unfamiliar setting yielded a somewhat tricky production, what follows is a honest, on-stage (and, towards the end...off) account of one of 2010's most exciting bands. Here Surfer Blood take to tangy, sun kissed fret work and stomp the pedal box moments of grit...the band's raw guitar crunch seeping into a heavy sway of multiple, percussive elements. At the helm of the group, John Paul (JP) Pitts flaunts flailing, haphazard kind of vocals, high on reverb and coloring outside the melodious lines like some newbie version of Stephen Malkmus. Not surprisingly, it's a sound that reminisces more of early 90s buzz bin bands than the contemporary indie fixation with weird electronic acrobatics; a refreshing, throwback spin that has felt very of the moment all year long.
Guitar Yarn - Michael Jost - Episode 1
Michael Jost spends much of his time in his studio, working on perfecting the sounds of his unique and passionate guitar music, overlooking the carnival-like atmosphere of the world famous Venice Beach Boardwalk in Los Angeles, California.
Live at the Market Hotel
Wavves started in 2008 as the recording project of Nathan Williams. Wavves released several 7"s as well as a cassette leading up to the first two releases 'Wavves' (Woodsist) and 'Wavvves' (Fat Possum/Bella Union). After gaining recognition Ryan Ulsh was enlisted as a touring drummer and Wavves did the first US and European tours.
Live at The Mercury Lounge
Blitzen Trapper's music went through various genres with each record, bouncing from indie folk to art rock to experimental folk before settling into a rich, dusty brand of Neil Young-inspired alt country. The band formed in 2000 in Portland, Oregon, with songwriter Eric Earley leading a lineup that also included Erik Menteer (guitar, keyboard), Brian Adrian Koch (drums, vocals), Michael Van Pelt (bass), Drew Laughery (keyboard), and Marty Marquis (keyboard, vocals). Before signing a record contract in 2007, the band released three albums on its own dime: an eponymous effort in 2003, Field Rexx in 2005, and the highly acclaimed Wild Mountain Nation in 2007. The latter album landed the group a record deal with Sub Pop.
In Session 2008
Counting Crows, and Adam Duritz in particular, have become renowned for the energetic, passionate nature of their live performances. Duritz frequently extends and rewrites songs live, adding extra verses or alternate middle sections and/or endings, sometimes fitting most of another of the band's other songs into the middle of the first. This intimate live performance gives the fans the chance to see the band perform their best hits.
Live at the O2
Filmed in high definition at London's renowned O2 Arena on December 15th, 2011. The show came on the back of the band's No.1 album "Velociraptor!" and the setlist combines tracks from that album with hits and classic album tracks from across their career so far. The concert was part of a sold out arena tour that covered the UK and Ireland at the end of last year. Kasabian are the recipients of numerous awards for "Best Live Band" and "Best British Band" in recent years and this new show with its spectacular and innovative staging will be a must have for their huge and dedicated fanbase.
Band in Seattle: Live debut - Concert 115 B
Le Sang Song
"If you've been following underground music of Seattle, you might have already heard music by Craig Chambers before. If you haven't, you will now. Chambers is the creative force behind Le Sang Song, the name for what originated as a solo recording project for songs that for the most part are quieter than those of his other excellent bands (The Lights, Love Tan). Le Sang Song's basic framework is simple: get a good rhythm going, a rolling bass line or laconic guitar strum, and then paint the corners with more rhythms and harmonies. While Chambers draws from folk styles, he pushes his songwriting and varies Le Sang Song's instrumentation. Chambers is also an excellent lyricist, something uncommon these days, when vapidity is standard fare. The lyrics are carried by a keen sense of vocal melody. Live performances of Le Sang Song are Chambers accompanied by his lovely wife Adria Garcia on guitar/vocals, and Min Yee on bass/vocals."
Recently, the band released The Century of Self on their own independent Richter Scale imprint. Rich, sophisticated, complex, yet ultimately articulate; Century of Self is deep in scope, straining themes of mythology, mysticism, and nature through its' collection of anthemic, hard rock.
Hence the dramatic undertaking in bringing these epic songs to life in the live setting. And thank god for it... The band's unwavering commitment to doing The Century of Self justice translated into a kinetic kind of performance; one that sent an undeniable synergy buzzing 'bout the building the moment the band walked on stage. With fists in the air, sporadic mosh pit eruptions, and even a bit of crowd surfing (by audience and band members alike).
Things We Do at Night (Live from Texas)
Ten years after releasing their live DVD and album, Argue With A Tree, Blue October is set to release Things We Do At Night (Live From Texas). Filmed at the House of Blues in Dallas, Texas, Things We Do At Night (Live From Texas) showcases the live energy and raw emotion Blue October fans have come to love and expect. The live performance covers all of the hits and favorites from the band's last four albums, Foiled, Approaching Normal, Any Man In America, and Sway.
