Week 6 NFL Picks
against the spread, ATS, free nfl picks, NFL picks, wagering, week 6 picks
Welcome back degenerate gamblers and office pool pickers. No time for rambling faux analysis, let's just get right to the NFL locks of the week.
Detroit Lions -4 vs. San Francisco 49ers: I know San Fran hung 48 on Tampa last week, and their record says they're 4-1. I'm not saying the Niners are frauds, I'm sure they're pretty good. But SF comes back down to earth a bit this week as QB Alex Smith faces that Detroit D-line and the crazy crowd in the D. Take the Lions -4.
Baltimore Ravens -7 vs. Houston Texans: the Ravens have always been great after the bye week and they take care of business at home. Houston is an okay/good team that gets treated like a contender. But without WR Andre Johnson and now the defense without Mario Williams, I think the Ravens roll easily at home. Take Baltimore -7.
Oakland Raiders -7 vs. Cleveland Browns: this is the week that we confirm that Oakland is pretty good and Cleveland is not. First home game following the death of Al Davis, and a weak opponent, spells a Silver & Black blowout. Take the Raiders -7.
The Obvious Joe Public Square Pick: take the Over in the Cowboys/Patriots game. It's a high number, 55, but each team shouldn't have much trouble getting to 30.

Top 10 Albums of 2001
Album Reviews, Music, Top 10 Lists
2001, 9/11, Ben Folds, Bjork, bob dylan, de la soul, drive-by truckers, jack white, jay-z, kid a, muse, old 97's, radiohead, ryan adams, Spoon, The Shins, The Strokes, The White Stripes, tool, Top 10 Alumbs of 2001, top 10 lists, whiskeytown, yankee hotel foxtrot
Lost among the 20th anniversary hype around Nirvana's Nevermind, Pearl Jam's Ten, and U2's Achtung Baby, and all the 10th anniversary energy only focusing on 9/11, let's pause to look at the Top 10 Albums from 2001.
Earlier this year, we celebrated the 20th anniversary of A Tribe Called Quest's The Low End Theory, and elsewhere there was some brief hoopla about The Strokes Is This It album turning 10 years old. I loved it at the time and while I don't think it holds up quite as well as the other albums on this list, it was certainly a touchstone release worthy of the mentions.
Interestingly enough, two albums I most associate with 9/11 for some reason (Radiohead's Kid A and Wilco's Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, the titles I originally thought would anchor this list), were actually misremembered. They were from 2000 and 2002, respectively. Also, this list is short on hip-hop, but if you check the record books, there were several classics dropped by Outkast, The Roots, Talib Kweli, Eminem, Mos Def, and Common in either 2000 or 2002 (or in some cases both).
On to the list of the Top 10 Albums of 2001:
10. The Strokes – Is This It
Let's go ahead and include this aforementioned Strokes debut. Mostly since this original banned-in-the-US album cover would look nice here on our website.
9. Explosions in the Sky – Those Who Tell the Truth Shall Die, Those Who Tell the Truth Shall Live Forever
I admit I only recently discovered this band and their fine brand of instrumental rock goodness, and after investigating their back catalog, this is one gem I certainly missed back in 2001.
8. Drive-By Truckers – Southern Rock Opera
One of their most famous and celebrated albums, the DBT's "concept album" surrounding the legend of Lynyrd Skynyrd and the deep south is no longer their best. It's long since been surpassed by their continuing output, but this one put them on the map.
7. Radiohead – Amnesiac
Sometimes overlooked and underrated, this follow-up to 2000's Kid A album is usually dismissed as simply the second album of Radiohead's Bleeps'n'Blips Era. Kid B, if you will. But Amnesiac stands on its own as yet another solid entry in the band's great catalog.
6. Whiskeytown – Pneumonia
Actually recorded in 1999 as a follow-up to Strangers Almanac, this one didn't see the light of day until 2001 after the band broke up and Ryan Adams released his first solo album. Finished up with producer Ethan Johns, Pneumonia was called "easily Whiskeytown's most ambitious and eclectic work" by AllMusic.com. A really catchy record that some people might not have caught when it was released.
October 8, 2011 October 9, 2011 by Todd.Levinson.Frank
against the spread, Al Davis, ATS, free nfl picks, free picks, NFL picks
Al Davis died again this week, and as cliché as it might seem, I like the Raiders to Just Win Baby against the Texans in Houston. Or at least cover the spread. Oakland has been pretty good, and Houston might be a little overated in this spot (playing at home a week after a high-profile win over the Steelers). Following the death of Davis, it certainly would have been more emotional if it was a home game or if they were playing a division rival. But I don't think anyone in the sports world would be shocked to see the Raiders play with a little extra emotion and win this game on the road, especially considering that Houston's All-World WR Andre Johnson is out. Oh by the way, the Texans are giving 6 points. That line is too high, take Oakland +6.
Only a degenerate gambler would consider wagering on the game between the Manning-less Colts and the 1-3 Chiefs. But I think Indianapolis at home, after 4 weeks of practicing how to play without Peyton, they can manage a win over a punchless and weak Kansas City team. Of course, the Colts are still winless, but therein lies the value: it's only Indy -2 or so, depending where you look. They get the win this week and the easy cover. Bet the Colts.
Here's another horrible game that you have to bet on just to give it a reason to exist. The Bengals travel to Jacksonville to take on a bad Jaguars team breaking in a rookie QB. Ciny has a rookie QB but he's been damn good so far and has an explosive fellow rookie at WR. The Jags defense is decent, but the Bengals is better. Mix in the fact that Cincinnati is pretty good and Jackonville just isn't… yea, the Bengals are gonna win this game, by at least 7 or so. But probably more like 24-13 or even 27-10. This line opened at Jacksonville minus 2 or so and has slowly been moving toward the Bengals. You might have to lay a point, but take Cincinnati.
It's time for this week's Joe Obvious Square Public Pick! That's right, I'm suggesting you bet the OVER in the Philly/Buffalo game. It's a high total (51.5) but you know both teams have a good chance of hitting 28.
Sunday night, despite all the signs pointing to Aaron Rodgers being unstoppable and the fact that this line opened at GB -4.5 and was bet up to GB -6… and the fact that Atlanta probably isn't as great as we think they are…. I have a weird feeling the home crowd for the nationally televised Sunday night game and a little playoff payback will push the Falcon over the Packers. And if they fall short? You're getting 6 points. Take Atlanta plus the points.
Monday night, I like the New Upstart Can You Believe the LIONS of Detroit. First Monday nighter in 10 years, loud dome, dominant pass rush, Jay Cutler and his lack of protection up front, Matthew Stafford to Calvin Johnson. Done. Take Detroit -5. And the Lions defense isn't great so I imagine this could end up turning into a garbage time pseudo shootout as Cutler, Hester, and Forte score enough to hang around push this one over 47.5 points relatively easily. Bet the Lions-Bears OVER.

The Hunter Reels in a Mastodon Masterpiece
black metal, black sabbath, Clutch, death metal, deathcore, Deftones, goregrind, heavy metal, Linkin Park, Mastodon, music review, Slayer, stoner rock, tool, Van Halen
This is the best hard rock album of the year.
I wanna rock! Seriously, I really wanna rock, and I know you also enjoy rocking out. To rock, and rock music, is at the core of our being, as most music fanatics were turned on, raised, and possibly brainwashed by Satanic forces to feel the primal attraction of rock music.
This is often best expressed by hard rock and heavy metal. So it was written by Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin, and so it has since been done. But most people, probably including you, are pansies like me. We don't listen to all that crazy death metal and black metal and deathcore and goregrind and whatever other sub-core speed genres of anti-pop horror-metal madness exist out there.
I've got a couple of very close friends who are metal freaks. I'm sure you do too. But for pussies like us, we're okay to just burn out on Them Crooked Vultures and maybe crank some old-school Van Halen in the car and be done with it. Some of you dig on the Foo Fighters cuz their CD's are so much louder than most of your other ones. You like to name check Queens of the Stone Age, but "No One Knows" that you never actually heard Rated R. You probably dig on the Deftones and Disturbed and possibly some stuff that sounds like Slipknot, but System of a Down was a bit too intense and political. Hopefully you don't rock out to Linkin Park at the gym. I don't. But then again, I don't go to the gym.
Well fear not, rock fans who crave something a little goddamn harder than fucking Wilco or My Morning Jacket but don't want the bloodbath of Satanic butchery and mass-slaughter imagery infesting your precious earbuds.
Behold The Hunter, the new album from Mastodon.
Certainly not a household name, they've never been on Dancing With The Stars or served as guest judges or mentors on any of the other 14,682 talent-show style "reality" shows, Mastodon is one of those crazy talented bands of musicians with the kind of extreme chops that leave many jaws dropped. But, so far, their hard rock/metal has skewed a little proggy, so it was like some Rush-meets-Tool kinda thing with concept albums and 12-minute songs.
This is the deluxe version.
The Hunter is already being received as their "more accessible" album that pisses off the hardcore fan base but attracts the accolades of casual hard rock fans and possibly some non-metal bloggers working on their snarky reaction to the Lou Reed/Metallic collaboration. With apologies to any Mastodonians who feel like their favorite band is "selling out" (impossible these days anyway), The Hunter is perfect for fans of the band who've been waiting for them to make an Album Like This, and for people like me who need and want to rock the fuck out and turn it up to 11 but only sometimes.
This album is badass, and yet just catchy enough in its badassery to keep the festivities moving from one crunching riff and sick drum fill to the next. The vocals certainly sound like they hurt somebody's throat, as well they should, but they are not so in your face or gory to turn off any casual listeners. It just kicks ass. But Mastadon is a different animal: among the mayhem it manages to mix in an obvious "The love I make is equal to the love I take" nod to the Beatles lyric, while "Creature Lives" features an intro that sounds like it's covering two Pink Floyd intros at the same time.
Strongly rooted in the Black Sabbath basics, Mastodon's technical proficiency allows them to elevate their stoner rock to high-grade medicinal levels. And it remains concise and hard hitting, certainly recommended if you lean a bit closer to Clutch than Slayer and prefer your Tool albums to have less hot-yoga droning interludes.
So if you crave that metallic taste in your ears without the messy dismemberments and commitments to spend eternity in damnation, pick up Mastodon's The Hunter and crank that shit up.

The Jersey Shore is Bad?
Culture, Humor
Anne Hathaway, fashion, Jersey Shore, Rachel Zoe, The Rachel Zoe Project
Please don't ask questions about why but last night I watched an episode of The Rachel Zoe Project. First let me say, God bless Rachel Zoe for having a job that pays her to dress other people in other people's clothes. I do not begrudge her one bit for how she makes a living. If there are people out there that are willing to pay other people to dress them in other people's clothes then I am not going to try to discredit the people that the people pay to dress them in other people's clothes. Had I known that such a job ever existed whilst I was busy 'studying' in college then I might have considered exploring that career path.
People only pay me to put video on the web. I should have tried a hand at dressing people in designer clothes and have them pay me to do it like Rachel Zoe.
With that said, I can't believe there is a television show that is dedicated to stylist such as Rachel Zoe. Again, I am not discounting Zoe's profession. There apparently exists a market for people to have their fashion choices made by other people. Mouth agape, who knew? I am getting sidetracked, the episode I watched last night centered around Zoe's work with actress Anne Hathaway. Hathaway was to host the Academy awards and it was Zoe's task to provide her with multiple outfits because God knows that one should never host the Oscars without multiple wardrobe changes.
During the episode much of the teleplay led up to the big night with the show's climax of Zoe and her team gathered together to watch the Academy Awards broadcast so that they could all congratulate each other, and most importantly Zoe, on just how great Hathaway looked in other people's clothes. All in all it seems like a job well done. Hathaway certainly looked stunning in each of the outfits picked by Zoe and her team. However, I think Anne would look great wearing little to nothing at all. Don't believe me? Maybe you should watch this sometime.
The real rub…
against the spread, ATS, Drew Brees, free nfl picks, new england patriots, new orleans saints, NFL picks, Tom Brady
Week 4 NFL action is upon us and once again Bums Logic has your Best Bets: NFL picks against the spread that are sure to win, but might possibly lose, as evidenced by our paltry but technically winning record so far!
Oftentimes winning football picks aren't the glamorous Game of the Week when two popular contenders square-off in a showdown. As sad as it is to bet on crappy who-cares games that no one in their right mind would ever watch, if you have a feeling about a game, no matter how bad or boring, just take the easy money.
Case in point this week: the ho-hum Tennessee Titans to take on the perennially putrid Cleveland Browns. Not exactly the kinda game that inspires you to make sure you have a table at the wings place at quarter-to-1, eh? The Titans showed some life in a home win against Baltimore when they utilized a pass-heavy attack with Veteran QB Matt Hasslebeck. Even that season-high only yielded 26 points. In their other 2 games they scored 14 at Jacksonville and 17 against Denver. And now they are suddenly without emerging WR threat Kenny Britt. So this is probably the week they look to get RB Chris Johnson going (he's yet to have a really big game), and that will keep the clock moving. It's also a good bet that Cleveland will look to do the same by feeding the rock to RB Peyton Hillis in hopes of grinding out a home win. No one outside of Cleveland or Nashville will be watching this game. It's got 16-13 written all over it. Maybe 17-14 or one of those weird-score games like 19-15. You get the idea. The point is, bet the Titans-Browns game Under 39. Even if they get to 21-17, it still stays under.
In another game that might be canceled due to lack of interest, New Orleans makes the short trip east to take on the Jacksonville Jaguars. Giving 7 points on the road is often risky in the NFL, but the Saints are a good team with an explosive offense and Jacksonville is mediocre at best with not much of a home-field advantage. I could see a lot of regional Saints fans from the Southeast making the trip to North Florida for this one. The only stat we need for this one is the Saints score 35 points per game while the Jags score just under 10 while giving up an average of 21. Okay maybe that was three stats. Anyway, I expect that to continue as Drew Brees and company will run a clinic en route to a 38-17 win. Bet New Orleans -7 at Jacksonville.
If you must make a bet with a bit more fun and pizazz than the two snoozers above, bet Over 54.5 in the Patriots-Raiders game. I know, it's another obvious bet just like the Over pick in the last New England game (that won easily). But just like the 2007 Patriots were killing opponents and the spreads they were favored by kept going up and up, these high totals for New England wont keep Over bettors from cashing in for a few more weeks. The Raiders will have confidence and energy at home, and Darren McFadden is running wild on the NFL so far this year. The Pats cant stop anyone, but Tom Brady can keep them moving up and down the field and scoring quickly and often. Both teams should hit 30+ in this game and it will sail over the total. Even 31-27 or 34-24 would be a winner.

Many of you know that I have been on Isagenix since April of 2009. It helped me regain energy, feel better and lose a ton of weight (63 lbs). I enjoy feeling better about myself, even mentally, as I can find clothes that fit. I was feeling good at about 165lbs.
I am a stress eater, though, and while I have continued on with Isagenix, I have been stressed. I was also eating a lot of JUNK. I hate that I allowed this this back in my home, as it was all cleaned out. I did not even buy Halloween candy this year, but the boys brought a TON in, and of course, I share *wink*.
So, I am letting you know that I am trying to be back on it like I was in the beginning. Snacking is kept to fruits and veggies (yes, I will still be snacking!!), and my meal of the day will be whatever I want! I will be measuring myself as well, to keep track of inches lost. I have a totally of 20lbs to get to my previous goal (which I never reached, I was happy being 5 lbs away). I have set a goal for mid-January, since I am going to Miami, FL to visit a friend and take the boys to DisneyWorld. I will keep you informed to my progress bi-weekly. If you want to join me, I would welcome some friends journeying with me. Isagenixtruly saved me, and I would not recommend ANYTHING that I did not believe in. You can join my facebook group HERE, and become my FRIEND. Here is just one of the greatest successes that I had a small part in!
Here's to my (and your) health.
Well, we have made a decision !! Up until about 1:00pm today, we had decided to go with chemo. It seemed like what we needed to do, but we NEVER had any peace about it. Then had a ThermoScan done. The gentleman that did it, had way more answers than any doctor we talked to and we decided to follow a regimen that he has created for Russ. We feel a great load is off now that Russ is going this route, AND he will have a quality of life that is much healthier than anything on chemo. We did research on the drugs used in chemo, and they are AWFUL. This way, we will be shrinking the tumors, and getting better at the same time. Instead of energy being pumped away, it will be rejuvenated and the worst side effect that he will have is night sweats!!
Not that we do not respect the medical community, because we do, and we NEED them. This is just where we felt God leading us. We believe God intervened for Russell, by getting this man to call and want to see Russ. Thank for the prayers. There is still a long road ahead, (we found out there is only a 3.5% cure rate for this type in MANS eyes), but we are fully trusting God for a complete healing and are praying to that result. We do appreciate all the prayers thus far, and covet them in the future.
Now on to a TOTALLY different subject.
There have been SO MANY of you asking about Isagenix. There is more than 50 emails in my in box. The only problem, is that I really don't have time to sit by the computer. Most of you also did not have any direct questions that you asked, BUT do I have some AWESOME news for you!!

BUT I can always talk on the phone. Call me and I can call you back (I have a North American Plan). I have a head set, so I will have both hands free to keep going with things here and chat with you, as well. My area code is 306, followed by 254 and then 2637. Please call between the hours of 9-5 CST. My kids start school soon, and then I should have more time to talk. Or at least a quieter time ... hehehe. I WELCOME phone calls from you!
I was shocked the other day to see this on my facebook page. You can click on the picture to go to his actual website if you are not sure.
Yes, we do have 37 mutual friends, but can you guess the connection?
In fact, for those of you in the good ole US of A, he even has his own line of products that Isagenix sells, Mars Venus Line (Canadians can not purchase these unless you buy them in the states or have them shipped to a US address).
If you want more information about the weight I have released and the healthy results I have been getting with Isagenix, you can contact me and I would be glad to help you out!
Do you remember Lia? I shared about her awhile back with her 75lbs loss.

I Am Certified ~ ZUMBA®!!
It is amazing what a person can accomplish, if you put your mind to something!
I am intent on embarrassing myself ... LOL. This was me, just over a year ago, 63 lbs heavier than I am today.
It is amazing what Isagenix has done for me!! Besides the released weight, I have more energy than I know what to do with (well, now I do, read on ... hehehe). Not only that, but my self confidence has soared. I actually LIKE leaving my house now, and meeting new people. Before, I was so self conscious of what they would think of me. OK, now for an update, not on results, but on LIFE.
For those of you that live in Vernon, BC., you may know this wonderful lady, Robyn. If you do not know her - GO TO A CLASS. She is an amazing instructor. So amazing, in fact, that she is a ZES (ZUMBA® Education Specialist), and a Master Instructor. She was just in Saskatoon, SK. and I am now a certified ZUMBA® Instructor. For someone who did not DO exercise, this is a big deal for me. I found something that I liked and am now going to stick with it. Since most of the weight came off with basically no exercise, I feel the need to burn some of the excess energy that I am now having. I started to go to a ZUMBA® class and fell in LOVE.
Here are the instructors from my class that I joined. They were the ones who encouraged me that I could do this. Thanks to Roberto and Kerri for your belief on me and seeing something in me that I thought was LONG GONE.
Thanks also to ALL OF YOU !! You were always cheering me on, lifting me up, and keeping me accountable with my weight loss. If it wasn't for you, I would never have even gotten this far.
I have cards to share this week, too. Russ took the boysaway for the weekend (since I was in training), and I got some stamping done!!
First off, my request, and I hope that some of you won't mind. I have more than 380 emails to read regarding THIS POST, and am trying to get through them all! Many of you left your phone numbers, and I have a lot of work today, but will try to spend most of the day on the phone tomorrow. So, if you have any questions, tomorrow is the day to have them ready by. If you have any questions to ask about Isagenix, please contact me HERE. If you scroll to the bottom of the page, there is a place for your information. The calls will be returned in the order they were received. If I do not call you, chances are your number was not right, so make sure to double check !
I made it as a thank you card, but you could definitely create a birthday card, just change out the sentiment. The colors are taken with teal, chocolate chip and old olive. The teal and chocolate were sponged with the chocolate ink. The olive was scored at 1/2" intervals and the faux stitched with the chocolate marker. I then added the 3 jumbo brads.
The sentiment panel was added on dimensionals. The ribbon was tied over a strip of DSP (non-SU), adding in some scraps pieces for a fuller effect. If you don't want the as big of a ribbon, just tie a knot. I am really liking these rich colors for guy cards lately, it just catches the eye. Tootles, have fun and happy stamping!!
Lia's Story - KLEENEX NEEDED !!
When I posted about my weight loss, I was a bit worried about any backlash that would take place. I truly do want this blog to be about stamping and paper crafting, but since I share so much of the rest of my life with you, I thought I would also share that.
A very condensed story that is filled with sadness, anguish, desperation, prayer, light, hope, gratefulness, thankfulness, and so much more. I have struggled with my weight since I was a little girl. I was very shy and remember being chubby since around the first grade. I had plenty of friends, but there were cruel kids who would call me names. I developed a tough exterior and used humor to hide the pain. My first diet was the summer before my senior year in high school. My dance uniform was too tight and so I went on a diet which consisted of one to two teaspoons of food per meal - it worked! I lost 30 pounds that summer and my uniform was then too big. I began dating that year and sadly, slowly put the weight back on. I had no idea that the weight would come back on. I seriously thought that since I had lost it, it would stay lost!
Ever since that first diet, it's been the same pattern. I'll find the motivation to lose weight and then I'll lose the motivation and gain the weight back and more. I even lost 80 pounds over two years and gained it all back and more! In the Spring of 2006, I decided to return to college. That first semester, I lost 30 pounds and was so excited the weight was coming off! Right at the end of that semester, I found out I was pregnant. My husband and I were thrilled because we had given up hope of ever having a child. After giving birth to our son, the weight began to come on again. This time with a vengeance because I had a hard time adjusting to being at home without much outside support or social interaction. I am an emotional eater and I was eating out of control. I seriously did not care if I lived or died. This upset my husband because he felt that I should be wanting to live for our son. I love my son more than I ever thought possible to love another human being, but I hated myself and the fact that I was out of control.
Before my son's first birthday, we left Florida and moved to our home state of Texas to be closer to family. I started the MOMS Club here and found a large supply of friends with children. I felt welcome and accepted here even though I was morbidly obese and in my 40's with a 1-year-old. I was socializing and attending play dates but I felt incredibly self-conscious. Most of the moms in the club are Air Force wives - young and fit. I didn't attend many activities because of my size. It made me so sad for my son - which of course, caused me to eat more. I was getting desperate because I didn't see an end in sight.
After over a year in Texas, a milestone for my son was looming near - he would be starting day school. It was only two mornings a week for 3 hours, but it was still 'school' in my mind. And my early school years brought back bad memories for me. My son is not overweight - he's healthy and a typical little boy. The problem? They could potentially pick on my son because of his fat mother. I thought, 'I'll be damned if my son is going to have to suffer for his mother's problem!' So late last spring, I decided to look into gastric-bypass surgery. A friend of mine, I'll call her Ann, had the procedure done in December and was losing weight fast. I called Ann's surgery center and they took my information. They called me back the next day and informed me that my insurance company did not cover the surgery. I was devastated! I asked them how much the surgery cost out-of-pocket. They informed me it was $19,000!! Yikes!
I talked to my husband about it and he said I could have it done if I wanted. I decided to do some research on the success of the surgery. I got on-line and began to read about the numbers upon numbers of those who had had the surgery and had gained the weight back, or who had never reached their goal weight and were struggling to lose any weight at all. Ann reached her one-year anniversary this past December and was only at 91 pounds lost. She wants to reach at least 110 pounds and isn't sure when/if it will happen. I was disheartened by what I had researched and decided that I would not spend $19,000 for a procedure that might not get me to my weight loss goal and even worse, I could potentially gain it all back and more! As hard as it was for me, I decided to abandon gastric-bypass surgery. I had put all my hopes into this and was severely let down.
What to do next? I was still desperate but now I had nothing to hope for, or so I thought. In anguish, I prayed, "Dear God, please let me find a way to lose this weight. Show me, guide me, put it before me. PLEASE HELP ME!" It was just a couple of days later when He answered my prayer. I was visiting my list of scrapbooking blogs when I ran across Julie's entry. That day it was not scrapbook related. It said something along the lines of, "Today I have something different to share with you. I've been trying a system that has helped me drop 30 pounds in two months!" I immediately straightened up in my chair and began to read in earnest.
I thought, "What is this system? How does it work? Will it work for me?" I called Julie up and asked her questions. She was SO easy to talk to and extremely supportive! I began to research Isagenix on-line. One of the things that attracted me to Isagenix is that not only were severely obese people losing the weight and keeping it off, but athletes, too, were seeing fantastic results as well. I discussed Isagenix with my husband. He is a pessimist and told me he thought it was a scam. I made a deal with him. I would try Isagenix for 30 days and if I liked the results I would continue, if I did not, I would stop.
I placed my order and while I waited, I continued researching Isagenix. The more I read, the more I was convinced that this was going to work for me! When my package arrived I was so excited! I decided to start on a Monday. I'll never forget that first morning. I had my yummy shake. Two LONG hours went by and I had a snack. Another hour went by and I was STARVING! What was I going to do? I wasn't going to last! I decided to call customer service and the representative said, "You need to eat! Don't starve! Just make healthy choices!" After I hung up, I took a deep breath, I stopped panicking, and ate. The first couple of weeks, I ate when I was hungry - whether it was 2 hours later, or a half hour later. I also became accustomed to eating less. I was on top of the world when I lost 20 pounds that first month! YES! So I kept ordering Isagenix! After 6.5 months on Isagenix, I have released 75 pounds and 110 inches!
There have been so many wonderful things that have happened to me since I began this incredible journey! I used to take Rolaids with every meal and before bed. I kept a bottle at my bedside, in my purse, in the kitchen, and in the car. It's been months since I've had one - no more heartburn! My skin has improved considerably, too. Also, I never knew what energy felt like! That alone will keep me on Isagenix for the rest of my life! I LOVE all this energy - it's amazing! The owner of the gym I attend is hangs my comparison photos because she is amazed at the transformation. I LOVE going to the gym and exercising! It is so motivating to me to challenge myself with all of the different classes they provide - spinning, Zumba, body bar, etc. I have made so many friends there and am excited when I walk through the doors! I have gone from a size 30 to a size 16 (for now)! I still cannot believe it - it just keeps getting better and better! I did not know life could be this good!
I have to share my gratefulness and thankfulness here because I did not accomplish this on my own. First, a humble and sincere 'Thank You' to my heavenly Father. None of this would have happened without your guidance and love. Second - Isagenix - THANK YOU for changing my LIFE! Third - Julie, without your post, who knows where I would be today. Your support and the time and energy you spend on us, your Cleanse Team, is a testament to your belief in this fantastic product! I appreciate you so much! Fourth - my husband, David, for his superior drive and work ethic. Thank you for funding this journey of mine and for being inspired by my willpower and drive! I love you! Fifth - Dr. Antonio Cadena, thank you so much for not skipping a beat when I asked if I could begin Isagenix. You immediately said, "Yes! You're young and healthy except for being overweight, and I don't see any reason why you shouldn't." Hearing that meant more to me than you'll ever know. Thank you for being one of my biggest cheerleaders, too! Fourth - Paula Drew Moser, my best-est Isagenix friend and Cleanse Team partner-in-crime. Thank you for supporting me, loving me, and being there for me. You rock, girlfriend! Fifth - Marilyn Stiles, Julie's Cleanse Team, and the rest of the Isagenix family that have been there for me - you all have made this journey so unbelievably fantastic, incredibly rewarding, and completely unforgettable. Here's to the next 60 pounds!
Thanks Lia, for pouring out your soul. When I first heard her story, I was in tears bawling!! I am so glad I got to have a tiny part in that success. I would love to help YOU too. For those that started on Isagenix previously with me and have fallen off the wagon, let me help you get started again. I have learned so much in the past year, and am willing to PERSONALLY coach everyone who wants to get healthy and lose weight. You can go HERE for more information. DO NOT HESITATE to call me, if you want to ask questions, I want to help you achieve your health goals!!
Remember I was talking about some EXCITING STUFF HERE ?!? Well, I am happy to be able to show you now!!

At the meetings you will learn how to release weight and our partners will help out. Then there is some FABULOUS things that happen when you reach your goal weight.
A BLACK DRESS GALA NIGHT !!
On this night, those that reach their goal weight will be awarded some amazing stuff. The gym we have partnered with will give 5 free punch passes, while on the program, you get a 2 for 1 deal.
The salon while on the program will give 10% off services on the night of the gala, but when you reach your goal weight, you get 50% off a cut and color.
Amy Rysavy Esthetics will give 25% off teeth whitening when you reach your goal.

But what if you are NOT in Saskatchewan? Well, when you join my team and start trying the Isagenix products, I am making myself available for whenever you need me (unless I say otherwise, like family vacations, etc.). Or, if you want to start your own Little Black Dress Plan, I can help get you set up. For this to happen, though, you need to be on the Isagenix program in my team. This plan has actually been patented by another lady on my team. She has given full reign to those on her team to use this program, I can help set you up. This will help you earn FREE product and even income to help support your family. Think of it this way - you could get paid to release your weight, and get healthy!! If you are already signed up under me and want to know more, contact me! Also, bathing suit season is just a couple months away, and I can help you fit into a new one!!
Tootles, and the next post will be stamping related.
I am really excited and I will VIDEO my scale on the day that I hit 160, so that you can see that it is not photo-shopped. I have some exciting things in the works, and will share when I have things finalized. Here are some of my photos, though. There were more than 200 !!
I noticed one comment on my Escada bag, and thought I would show that one first. This was my reward dress - a size 10. First off, I did not know what the big deal about Escada was, there are only 2 stores in all of Canada. None of them are near me, and so I had never heard of them before. I only know that when I fit this dress on, I had never knew a dress could feel so beautiful. I saw the price tag and nearly fell on my head. My regular shopping is WalMart, and so I was not prepared for that. The bonus, I got it for 80% off!! I took a picture of me in it in the dressing room, and texted it to Russ. He gave me the go ahead, since I was in Phoenix at the time. I figured since I am paying more than $20 for a dress, it gives me real motivation to STAY this size ... LOL. Also, it s a classic design, so I can wear it for years!

Herholz launched its new #-doors (to pronounce: hashtag) at the trade fair BAU 2017 in Munich. Since May 2017 the doors are produced serially.
Customers can choose between four different designs. The models #1, #3, #4 and #24 play with the contrast visible / invisible. The three-dimensional switch between a 4-mm-deep milling and an even surface makes the #-doors unique. To realise the special milling of #-doors, Herholz worked intensely upon a brand new manufacturing process and registered it as a patent.
Just like all the other Herholz doors, according to Herholz' promise, the #-doors are extremely constant in quality. They are not only available as white standard interior doors, but also as special doors with technical requirements, coated in RAL-colours and available in custom sizes. For Herholz, an ecological, power reduced and PEFC-certified manufacturing process with water-soluble varnish is more than taken for granted.

Am Entkopplungspunkt (engl. customer order decoupling point oder order penetration point) treffen zwei logistische Steuerkreise aufeinander:
 die kundenanonyme Vorratsproduktion meist in Serie gefertigter Standardkomponenten und
 die durch Kundenauftrag oder sonstigem Bedarfssignal ausgelöste Auftragsfertigung.

Physisch stellt sich der Entkopplungspunkt in der logistischen Kette als das letzte Lager dar, in dem Komponenten noch ohne Auftragsbezug bevorratet werden. Nach dem Entkopplungspunkt ist alles Fertigungsmaterial einem Kundenauftrag zugeordnet.

Der Entkopplungspunkt kann an unterschiedlichen Stellen im Prozess liegen; liegt er vor der Endmontage, spricht man von einem Variantenfertiger, liegt er vor der Teilefertigung, spricht man von einem Auftragsfertiger, liegt er noch vor der Beschaffung, spricht man von einem Einzelfertiger. Alle drei Auftrags- bzw. Fertigungstypen können dem Konzept des Mass Customization zugeordnet werden.

Entkopplungspunkt im Automobilbau
In der Automobilindustrie, in der die Fließfertigung vorherrscht, gibt es die umgekehrte Sichtweise; hier ist wichtig, wann eine bereits in der Fertigung befindliche Fahrzeugkarosse einem konkreten Kundenauftrag zugeordnet wird. Diese Zuordnung wird auch "Taufe" und die Stelle im Produktionsfluss "Taufpunkt" genannt. Die Automobilhersteller versuchen, den Taufpunkt möglichst spät bzw. Entkopplungspunkt möglichst spät zu wählen, um dadurch mit der Produktion der Komponenten schon beginnen und dennoch flexibel auf die Kundenwünsche reagieren zu können. Durch eine späte Taufe können zudem Störungen im Prozess auftragsbezogen leichter korrigiert werden, da noch keine direkte Abhängigkeit zu einem einzelnen Kundenauftrag besteht. Solange eine Fahrzeugkarosse noch nicht getauft ist, können noch Fahrzeugkarossen getauscht oder die Reihenfolge der Karossen verändert werden, ohne dass dies einen direkten Einfluss auf den Auslieferungstermin eines speziellen Kundenauftrages hat.

Under acute pressure in its UK market, our client, the Global Head of Sourcing of one of the highest profile UK Supermarkets, sought to identify long term, economic markets from which to source vegetable and fruit produce. Conscious of the greater variability in environmental and climatic factors and a fast-changing geopolitical landscape affecting the countries being assessed – our client sought Gatehouse's support for a team review and to 'test' its buying strategy out to 2020.
Gatehouse started with a review of the existing sourcing strategies for produce, based on four test cases. We used this to build a list of the issues Gatehouse recognised as critical to the business – and then tested these with the internal team to identify additional possible threats to sourcing plans.
We ran a 'definition' workshop with the client – bringing in experts on four critical markets, to test the likely direction of critical global, regional, national and local issues. We then worked with the internal team to analyse the impact of these issues on the business. The judgements were built into a dynamic assessment tool, to allow the evolution of important trends to be tracked. A Gatehouse team of experts, chaired by a Gatehouse principal, stayed with the business to embed the new process and support assessments and judgements.
Our client can now clearly define where it wants to source fresh produce and why – and can make relative choices about buying decisions in different markets. It is able to concentrate its resources on the critical issues identified – and track the progression and likely impact of issues on the business. It has also been better able to brief suppliers of market intelligence – sourcing information to support judgements. The broader team has been able to contribute to information gathering (as they visit markets) and can now challenge assumptions where appropriate.
Each quarter Gatehouse meets with the Sourcing Team to review assumptions, assess any developments and threats and, if required, adjust the sourcing strategy.

Ship's Crest
Uss Colorado Submarine Association
Crew Members Visit Colorado
05/14/2019 13:07 | John (JJ) Mackin (Administrator)
On Saturday May 4th, Lieutenant Junior Grade (LTJG) Anthony Matus, LTJG Timothy Bell, Machinist's Mate First Class (MMN1(SS)) Chris Guitierrez and Fireman (FN(SS)) Albert Rodriquez arrived in Denver for a four day visit to our state. LTJG Matus, the Assistant Operations Officer, had actually been on a previous crew visit in October of 2017. LTJG Bell has been on board about eight months and is currently the Chemistry and Radiological Assistant. MMN1(SS) Guitierrez is a nuclear machinist mate and hold the distinction of being the longest serving member of the crew having reported with the first increment of the engineering department in 2014. FN(SS) Rodriquez, a member of Auxiliary Division, completed the requirements for submarine qualification in only six months, one of the shortest times of any of the crew.
That evening the crew went to Big Bill's Pizza in Littleton for dinner. They were greeted warmly by the owner who introduced them to the patrons who gave the sailors a standing ovation. It was a great welcome to Colorado.
On Sunday the crew visited some of the Cinco de Mayo festivities in Civic Center Park and then attended the Colorado Rockies game at Coors field. They were given a rousing reception as they were introduced to the crowd during the seventh inning stretch. In the evening several members of the USS Colorado Submarine Association treated our visitors to dinner at the historic Buckhorn Exchange in Denver.
Monday was a busy day for our sailors. They made presentations at Castle View High School in Castle Rock and Casey Middle School in Boulder. In the afternoon they received a special tour of the Capitol and observed a flag raising from the balcony of the Capitol dome. They met with the Governor who presented them with the Colorado state flag. From there it was off to the University Memorial Center (UMC) at CU Boulder. The UMC is the official repository of USS Colorado artifacts and has the ship's bells that served first three USS Colorado's and a replica of the bell currently in service on the submarine, a gift from the USS Colorado (BB45) Association.
On Tuesday, after driving to Fort Collins, the crew members were interviewed for thirty minutes on local radio station KCOL 600 AM by morning host Jimmy Lakey. They then split up into two groups and set out to visit a total of nine middle and high schools. The schools visited were Preston Middle School, Blevins Middle School, PSD Global Academy, Lesher Middle School, Rocky Mountain High School, PSD Global Academy, Fort Collins High School, Liberty Common High School, and Fort Collins High School. All together they spoke to about 650 students in Fort Collins who asked many questions about life on a submarine. After touring downtown Fort Collins, the sailors headed to Steamboat Springs for their Wednesday events.
They started Wednesday as guests of Steamboat Springs City Council for breakfast and then gave a presentation to the Council who were intently interested in what the crew had to say. They then visited North Routt Charter School about twenty miles from Steamboat where they talked to about 150 students in grades 3 through 8 of the school. After stopping at Freshies Restaurant in Steamboat for lunch where they were hosted by the owner, they visited Steamboat middle school where they talked to 120 6th and 7th grade students. They also got to tour the town and visit the local rodeo grounds and ski areas. The sailors were then hosted to dinner at the town's combined VFW/American Legion Post. They were then hosted at Steamboat Whiskey Distillers for after-dinner refreshments by the owner, a former Navy Seal. The visit was covered in the local Steamboat Pilot newspaper and given front page coverage. Considering that Steamboat Springs is a community of only 12,000 they cut a wide swath. They were often stopped on the street by persons recognizing them because of the news coverage and given spontaneous gift donuts by the Owner of Powder Day Donut shop.
On Thursday they were hosted for breakfast by the Steamboat Springs Chamber of Commerce, and made a presentation to the Board before heading to DIA to catch their flight back to Groton. The visit to Steamboat provided the crew members an opportunity to see some of Colorado's beautiful mountain scenery
Once again, the visit by the crew member proved to be a great success. All the students at their school presentations were interested and asked incisive questions which the sailors answered in a highly professional manner. It gave those students a glimpse into life in the Navy and on a submarine and demonstrated the high caliber of sailors who serve in our Submarine Force today. It also gave the sailors a change to appreciate the support they receive from their namesake state and to observe the great natural beauty of Colorado.


The E3 Convention at the Convention Center concludes tonight at 5pm or so.
The Lakers-Celtics game is at the Staples Center and starts at 6pm.
The LA Film Fest opens with The Kids are All Right at Regal Cinemas; the screening starts at 7:30pm.
Lakers fans may commence rioting when the game ends, around 7:30 or 8:00pm. This likely will occur regardless of whether the home team wins or loses. I'm not sure which version of rioting – celebratory or distressed – is worse.
Video Games Live is at the Nokia Theater and starts at 8:00pm.
A battle with "extraordinary resources" that the LAPD will deploy tonight: From 8:00pm on.
The LA Weekly has a handy list of street closures surrounding all of the above here. The lesson: If you're not invited to any of the above parties (womp womp), just avoid downtown this evening and save the headache for tomorrow's rush hour traffic. That's bad enough, isn't it?
Will be on the motorcycle all night. Traffic is for cagers.
Thanks to this post I avoided the downtown area. Anyone know how bad the traffic was last friday?

Kingdom fans can get a temporary fix with Ashin of the North
Season 3 has not been confirmed but the special episode should be a good barometer for where that's heading.
Justin Choo
Fans of the South Korean zombie horror drama Kingdom may not have official confirmation that Season 3 has received the green light, but the one-off special, Kingdom: Ashin of the North, makes a strong claim for a third season.
Ashin of the North is a prequel of sorts – an origin story for the mysterious stranger that appears at the end of Season 2, who was set up to be a pivotal character moving forward.
The mysterious titular character Ashin (Gianna Jun Ji-hyun) was presumed to be spreading the growth of the enigmatic saengsacho herb, believed to be the catalyst for zombification at the conclusion of Season 2.
Ashin of the North looks set to be the perfect medium for lore building, revealing details of the plague's origin and helping audiences understand Ashin's motivations in the supposed Season 3.
The trailer reveals a tale of Ashin's tragic loss as a child, which triggers her to devote her life to revenge. It also teased that she chanced upon the herb as a child and presumably learnt how to use it to her advantage.
But the tastiest detail has got to be the revelation that Min Chi-rok, the head of the Royal Commandery and one of the prince's trusted aides, had been approached by Ashin for help when she was a child. The fact that he turned her down could well have been the straw that broke the camel's back and makes for a potentially explosive reunion in future.
Catch Kingdom: Ashin of the North on Netflix tomorrow, 23 July 2021.

Plan to arrive 10 minutes early to park and drop off your children before the service begins. You may park anywhere you like. Parents of preschoolers will probably want to park on the side with the metal building. Our Sunday morning worship services take place in the main sanctuary. If you need help finding a seat, please ask one of our greeters for assistance. We want to help you. Sunday school is at 9:15 for all ages. Classes are generally divided by age/life stages but adults are welcome to attend any adult class. See the listing here.
You will see among our congregation, pastors, and leaders everything from jackets and ties to jeans and t-shirts. Wear what you feel comfortable in and you'll fit right in. Just please dress modestly.
We start with music from a live band led by our worship leader, a choir, and a team of singers. Music is a blend of contemporary worship songs and hymns. It's fine if you don't know the words, if you want to worship in song, the lyrics will be on the screen. Our pastor will then preach a message from God's word grounded in Biblical truth. Each service lasts approximately an hour.
There will be a time in the service where we pass an offering plate. If you are visiting we don't expect you to give any money. You will find a guest info tear-off portion in the bulletin. We ask that you fill that out and drop it in the offering plate as your only contribution. Please share your prayer requests with us on the other side of the guest info section.
You are always welcome to take your children to the worship service with you. During Sunday school and 10:30 worship, you have the option to check your newborns through kindergarteners into our preschool area in the bottom level of the main sanctuary building. Your preschoolers will be engaged in age-graded small group Bible study during the Sunday school hour, and during the 10:30 service our caregivers will watch your children in a safe, fun, and comfortable environment while you worship. Pagers will be given to the parents of babies and will be cared for by our paid nursery staff so your babies will see the same faces each week. All of our caregivers have passed a background check.
Your children 1st-5th grade will be engaged in age-graded small group Bible study during the Sunday school hour on the bottom level of the Smiley Center (the small red brick building). On the first three Sundays of the month, we offer "Kids Challenge" where kids are involved fun games and activities that teach them Biblical truth during the worship hour. On Sunday nights grades 1-5 go to an interactive fun zone that encourages Bible skills and memorization of scripture while kids enjoying games, crafts, worship, and snacks. Bible drill is also offered for grades 4-5 beginning in the fall.
I have middle and high schoolers, where do they go?
Students in 6th-12th grade will meet in the "Cave," our student ministry area, in the ROC (gray metal building) on Wednesday nights and for Sunday school on Sunday morning. They will be greeted by our family pastor or another student ministry leader. They will be engaged in relevant Bible study during Sunday school and Wednesday night hour. Students worship in the sanctuary during church.
Connect with us and here and find out what's going on.


Have you ever seen Fashion Police on E!? You know, that show where Joan Rivers makes fun of all of the celebrities and what they wear? They have a segment on that show called "Gotta Have it/Make it Stop". We are going to play that game with one of the big trends we've seen popping up for the last couple of years: antlers. Whether it be faux antlers, real antlers, or full European mounts antlers are everywhere. Here are some of our favorite inspiration images that feature antlers.
I'm gonna say "Gotta Have It". I may just be embracing this trend because my husband's trophy antlers are the one thing he is adament about in our home so I have to, but I really think that antlers are a beautiful sculpture provided by Mother Nature herself. I love them hung in a grouping or just one statement piece. I also love them integrated into a tablescape. I will admit however that I am not a fan of the full an trophy mounts with fur and eyes that seem to follow you wherever you go. I prefer just the simple antlers or a European mount (bleached skull). If you want to participate in this trend but don't like idea of any animals being harmed they make some really great resin antlers that look pretty darn real. There are also some great silver and white antlers on the market that give a modern spin to the trend.
So we want to hear from you. What is your take on the antler trend? Gotta have it or make it stop?


History | United Brands Company, Inc.
From a small consulting firm to a leading manufacturer of products, United Brands has a rich history of innovation and success in the beverage industry.
• Assisting them in building strong brands throughout the U.S.
These efforts culminated in our work with South Beach Beverage, a regional producer of non-alcoholic beverages that was struggling to develop a national presence. Leveraging our industry knowledge and experience, South Beach Beverage quickly grew into a national brand that was later acquired by PepsiCo for nearly $400 million.
As the beverage industry evolved to meet changing consumer tastes, United Brands evolved with it. In 1998, we closed the consulting side of the business and began distributing and producing our own beverage products. At that time, we introduced American beverage producers to the energy drink category, helping to launch that market in the U.S by building a network of distributors in more than 27 states. We also began marketing and distributing energy drinks in 16-oz cans, another major breakthrough for the industry.
In 2001, we officially became known as United Brands, Inc., and launched our vision of modernizing the beer industry by introducing flavored products targeted to the changing tastes of American beer drinkers. Combined with our innovative design and packaging techniques, we brought the flavored malt beverage category out of obscurity and into national prominence. Today it is one of the fastest growing segments in the beverage industry.
Currently, United Brands is a leading innovator of alcoholic beverages, including JOOSE™ Flavored Malt Beverages and quality beer products such as STACK 101™ High Gravity Smooth Lager. Our products are sold through a well-established network of distributors, and are available in a range alcohol levels ranging from 6% and 9.9% ABV up to 12% ALC/VOL. We are proud to offer established brands that have become household names throughout the U.S.
Despite our success with the flavored malt beverage category, we do not limit ourselves only to adult beverages. During the '90s, we were one of the first to introduce energy drinks into the U.S., and our vision going forward is to also develop innovative nonalcoholic beverage products that will further enhance our brand and our reputation as a leading producer of quality beverages.

'Desperate Publicity Junkie' Rapper Releases ISIS-Linked Video Demanding Decapitation of Nigel Farage
Raheem Kassam
A music video uploaded to YouTube early on Thursday calls for the decapitation of former UK Independence Party leader Nigel Farage. The video features Islamic State propaganda as well as Black Panthers and Nation of Islam imagery, and was created by a failed grime/rap artist called "Zebadiah".
The video, which comes just months after British Member of Parliament Jo Cox was murdered in her constituency, features a man wearing a Nigel Farage mask in a Guantanamo Bay detainee jumpsuit.
A man wearing a Farage mask is dragged around
The star of the video, Prophet Zebadiah Abu-Obadiah (real name Robert Bealer) – who attracted a miserable 30 votes when he stood for election in South Thanet in 2015 – can be heard rapping with lines such as "Chat shit, get Rigby'd", a reference to the British soldier Lee Rigby who was brutally murdered by Islamic terrorists in London in 2013.
The video begins with a voice whispering "off with their heads" and contains a number of references to the Islamic State including a real ISIS video overlay, and a satirical version of the ISIS flag.
Islamic State propaganda features in the video
The song's lyrics include: "Farage, off with his head. Tommy Robinson, off with his head" as Zebadiah stares hypnotically into the camera. The music and imagery are all supposed to evoke an element of hypnosis.
He adds in the lyrics: "Let's make this clear I want their heads on spears," before going to repeat, tens of times: "Kill 'em, Kill 'em, Kill 'em…"
Later in the clip, Mr. Abu-Obadiah says: "Churchill, off with his head… they're not legends they're genocidal c*nts who robbed everyone and left innocent people for dead".
He adds: "It's no different from your Queen the thievin' wh*re who should return the loot of the Koh-i-Noor".
The video also includes an edited version of a speech by former Nation of Islam activist and New Black Panther party member Khalid Abdul Muhammed.
Robert's friends helped him with the video
The quote included in the YouTube video is: "I say, if they don't get out of town, we kill the men, we kill the women, we kill the children, we kill the babies, we kill the blind, we kill the cripple, we kill the crazy… I say god dammit we kill them all."
But Mr. Bealer's shock humour was still not edgy enough to include the full quote, which includes "we kill the faggots, we kill the lesbians" too.
The clip goes on to demand the "shut down [of] the military manufacturing center by killing the white woman".
Mr. Bealer's only other YouTube video on the account Al Zebzeera TV, is called "Period Blood is Peng" and reached a total of 4,900 views since last December.
He is otherwise known for tweeting at Sainsbury's supermarket, complaining about haikus found in bags of cookies, as well as telling Vice News in 2015 that his party's manifesto included the mandatory taking of heroin. Vice News also encountered generous portions of marijuana in his campaign headquarters.
@Zebadiahgrime Oops! That's not meant to be there. Can I ask which store you got these in? Cheers, Natalie.
— Sainsbury's (@sainsburys) May 18, 2014
A spokesman for the UK Independence Party told Breitbart London: "The incoherent rantings of a desperate publicity junkie. It would be worrying if it weren't so risible".
Mr. Robinson – the leader of PEGIDA in the United Kingdom who was also named in the video – was equally circumspect, tweeting: "I'm a bit gutted, some fat mess has made a video about decapitating me , but I actually like the tune".
https://twitter.com/TRobinsonNewEra/status/781423296881582080
Mr. Bealer is currently tweeting his own video at newspapers.

LIBYA R.I.P. …
Jan 31, 2012 | WAR: By Design
… THE ROTHSCHILDS OWN YOU NOW
The David Icke Newsletter Goes Out On Sunday
Gaddafi was being demonised by the Reagan-Father Bush administration (the Rothschilds) in the 1980s when the CIA and Mossad led a campaign to destabilise Libya that mirrors what has happened in 2011. Newsweek reported on August 3rd, 1981:
'The details of the plan were sketchy, but it seemed to be a classic CIA destabilization campaign. One element was a "disinformation" program designed to embarrass Kaddafi and his government. Another was the creation of a "counter government" to challenge his claim to national leadership. A third — potentially the most risky — was an escalating paramilitary campaign, probably by disaffected Libyan nationals, to blow up bridges, conduct small-scale guerrilla operations and demonstrate that Kaddafi was opposed by an indigenous political force.'
Sound familiar? That was 30 years ago.
But so many just buy the lie no matter what the era or generation. As Adolf Hitler said: 'Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it.' And his propaganda chief, Joseph Goebbels, said: 'The most brilliant propagandist technique will yield no success unless one fundamental principle is borne in mind constantly – it must confine itself to a few points and repeat them over and over. Hitler also said, with equal relevance: 'What luck for the rulers that men do not think.'
NATO planes pepper-bombed Tripoli in support of the 'rebels' on the ground. Thousands of the very civilians that the UN resolution said should be protected were killed in the process. But we hear nothing of this in the mainstream media and precious little of the murder and executions of Gaddafi supporters by the 'rebels' throughout the conflict and after they entered Tripoli.
The emphasis is always on alleged executions and killings of rebel supporters by Gaddafi's forces. No doubt some of these claims are true, but where is the balance? There is none, and Syria is now being demonised to go through the same process of demonise, invade, conquer, control. Richard Haas, president of the Illuminati Council on Foreign Relations which directs US foreign policy, has admitted that the NATO bombing of Libya was not about protecting civilians, but removing Gaddafi. He also called for an 'international force' to occupy the country and 'maintain order'.
It is the same rhetoric, the same blueprint, which we have seen in every other country 'liberated' by the architects of tyranny. It really is goodbye Libya: rest in peace. The United States and its conscripted NATO allies are not going to walk away and leave Libya to the Libyans. It is an occupation force to pillage the oil resources and the banking system, and it was always going to be.

Flyers reach potential earn redemption for WNBL championship
They were on a redemption mission this entire 2020 Chemist Warehouse WNBL season but they had the pressure of expectations too and the Jayco Southside Flyers have realised their potential with a 99-82 Grand Final victory over the JCU Townsville Fire on Sunday.
As the old Dandenong Rangers, the club won championships in 2004, 2005 and 2012 but it has been a long wait since with a name change to the Southside Flyers along the way.
Since that last title, there was Grand Final losses in 2017 and earlier in 2020, preliminary final defeats in 2013 and 2014, and semi-final exits in 2015 and 2016.
But that was all put behind them as they claimed the championship with the 17-point win in front of a full house at Townsville Stadium.
The Flyers now win the championship on the back of a nine-game winning streak and they did have to overcome an early deficit against the young and excited Fire team playing in front of their home fans.
Southside also only had Liz Cambage for three minutes in the first half as she picked up two early fouls. But it was Leilani Mitchell who put the Flyers on top with 21 points and five three-pointers in the first half alone.
Cambage then came on to deliver 12 points in the third quarter and among plenty more big shots, Bec Cole produced some dagger threes in the fourth quarter to help the Flyers end up triumphant for the WNBL season spent in Far North Queensland.
Mitchell was named Grand Final MVP as she became a WNBL champion for the third time. She finished the afternoon with 31 points, five assists and four rebounds including going 5/7 from beyond the arc.
Bec Cole won her first WNBL championship and was instrumental in the result with 22 points, five steals and three assists while Cambage still put up 14 points and five rebounds in only 15 minutes to win her first title since 2011 with the Melbourne Boomers.
Cole couldn't hide what the result meant to everyone involved straight afterwards.
"It feels like I've been waiting 20 years to do this and I'm just so proud to do it with these girls, representing Southside Flyers and have our family and sponsors here. I'm pretty speechless," Cole said.
"It means the world. It means that in 2020 with all the blood, sweat and tears that we went through down in Victoria was worth it all. We are so emotional, and it just shows this creates friendships and memories to last a lifetime."
Inspirational captain Jenna O'Hea overcame a knee injury to lead the Flyers to the title and had five points and five rebounds to celebrate her third WNBL title.
"It's a little bit indescribable right now, it's been a long time between drinks to win a championship and we got so close last season," O'Hea said.
"Until today 2020 has been a roller coaster for everyone so to finish this way with this group of girls, there's no better feeling."
Steph Blicavs also won her third championship and had eight points while Sara Blicavs earned her second ring with seven points, nine rebounds and three assists.
Rachel Jarry is now a two-time WNBL champion and had six points and three rebounds with Aimie Clydesdale also winning for a second time with four points, three boards and three assists.
Rebecca Pizzey scored two points and won a championship for the first time as did Monique Conti, Taylah Giliam and Saraid Taylor.
Townsville started the Grand Final strongly to lead 8-2 but Southside responded with the next eight points as the first half became one of runs for both sides.
Mitchell, though, was the difference and went on to hit five three-pointers for the first half which helped the Flyers to the 48-46 advantage at the main break.
Cambage then came out possessed in the third quarter with eight quick points and 12 for the term as the Flyers' lead grew to 10. Cole kept the advantage in double figures to start the fourth and by the time she nailed another with 2:50 to go, the lead was 19, and still 17 by the buzzer.
Chris Pike is a freelance contributor to WNBL.basketball
Jayco Southside Flyers – 99 (Mitchell 31, Cole 22, Cambage 14)
JCU Townsville Fire – 82 (Nicholson 20, Payne 14, Murray 11, Heal 11)
Rachel Sporn Medallist (Grand Final MVP) – Leilani Mitchell (Southside Flyers)
Crowd figure – 1825


Walking into that catch 22, repeatedly, is necessary to heal…it's facing your worst nightmare, over and over and over again. They shun us and cut us off if we speak to it. Radical healing is serious business and we might not come out alive. We must face death.
Face death and the rest will follow.
For a multitude of ideas about how to create a life filled with safer alternatives to psychiatric drugs visit the drop-down menus at the top of this page.
I, only, want to share something I have learned concerning food and beverage and the body. This is only as it applies to me; but, if it resonates with anyone reading this; that is fine, also. Years ago, I had a very allergic reaction to "alcohol" after an evening of drinking with friends. After that, I never drank again. Almost tragically, when they did start prescribing these toxic psychiatric drugs to me; they never questioned me about my past history or allergy to alcohol. In fact, they discussed with me any medical history or family medical history and yet, they went ahead and prescribed these toxic drugs. For awhile, I cook eat foods cooked with alcohol; wine, etc. But, now, I can not even eat foods cooked with any kind of alcohol. I have also learned that yeast-bearing foods release alcohol; so, I avoid all yeasty breads, doughnuts, etc. I do eat "quick breads", tortillas, biscuits, and corn bread. Pie crusts are fine for me. I also avoid chocolate as it does similar things to the brain as alcohol. Finally, I avoid the All-American Holiday food; Turkey. The tryptophan in Turkey, I have found to be very adverse to me. I have tried several times to be a vegetarian and although, I greatly admire those who are vegetarians, I just get sick. I have also found diets that specifically tell you to eat this and avoid this are dangerous This is because your body and brain will tell you (if you listen) what you can and can not eat. In times of great stress, increased activity, symptoms of a sickness like a cold or such, or when advised by body and/or brain, I increase my protein intake. Eating is a highly personal things. This idea of one size fits all in diets can literally kill you. The other point is sometimes you must ignore the "do-gooders" who think they can tell you how to eat or what to eat or not to eat or those who stand critical of your decisions to eat or not eat something. Sometimes, the only thing you can eat is a "pop tart" and I confess, I have never able to give up my "Diet Coke" but I can't drink coffee, because it causes me slight confusion and no memory under its influence. (This started way before the toxic drugs) And now, sometimes, I have to avoid iced tea or even fruit drinks for several days at a time. Thank you.
I dont really understand. Since I got extremely medicated at age 16, I have been allergic to milk, gluten and sugar so I dont eat it. When you provocate the immune system, this happen. I would not start eating it again, but do you think I should?

The merry-go-round of the 2011 Supercross series continued in Texas on Saturday.
Mike Alessi was quickest out of the gate, but Trey Canard was on hand and straight through into the lead – Ryan Dungey tried to follow Canard through but tangled with Alessi, allowing Chad Reed to pass both of them, and then James Stewart came past the lot of them.
Speedy Reedy fought back and made his way back into second a handful of laps in as Ryans Dungey and Villopoto held a watching brief in fourth and fifth.
The five major players in the craziest season ever were all at the sharp end. Stewart stalked Reed until the halfway point, slowly sneaking up on the Aussie before making a move through the whoops.
Unfortunately, not for the first time in his career, the mercurial Stewart lost control and careered into Reed, putting them both on the ground – Stewart would remount his smokey Yamaha in fourth, whilst Reed, knocked clean off the track, remounted just inside the top ten but sensibly pitted to get his battle-scarred Honda checked for damage.
With the Ryans promoted to second and third, Villopoto quietly snuck his way by Dungey to take second as Canard circulated serenely in the lead, bringing it home for his second straight win to yet again close up the title race.
Stewart took fourth ahead of Kevin Windham whilst Reed came home eighth, the results of which promoted Villopoto back to the head of the championship, six points ahead of Reed.
Dungey is a point further back in third, whilst Canard is getting right into the hunt, nine points off Dungey and five points ahead of Stewart. The 250F race was class.
Series leader Justin Barcia took the holeshot, but Ryan Sipes was a man on a mission, charging past Barcia for the lead and showing every sign of checking out before a mistake allowed Barcia back on his tail.
Handed such a golden opportunity on a plate, Barcia executed what might, in some circles, be considered a slightly rude pass, barging his way through into the lead – a rattled Sipes would crash soon afterwards.
Instead it was left to Dean Wilson to carry the fight, charging from way back to run Barcia down before the pair of them engaged in an increasingly lively duel for the win.
Wilson finally pulled off a great pass with a handful of laps left and although Barcia made strenuous efforts to get back on terms, Wilson held off the feisty pass attempts to hang on for the win, reducing his championship deficit to thirteen points.


Buying Fake Followers - Is It Worth It?
Discussion: Buying Fake Followers – Is It Worth It?
The hot topic at the moment is that there are bloggers out there taking a shortcut and buying up thousands of fake Twitter followers. But why? Is it really worth being caught out?
The recent discussions (and subsequent witch hunt – while what this person has done is wrong ethically, it didn't warrant the way that people were attacking them on Twitter.) that have been going on have gotten bloggers talking about buying followers to appear popular to PRs. The blogger in particular had bought 10,000 followers and then started getting invites to awesome events. Some bloggers started getting suspicious that they had never heard of this blogger then suddenly they were everywhere. A little poking about and the secret was out.
The truth is that social media is only fun when you are talking to people. Building that audience up, one follower at a time is satisfying. (Honest!) That person really wants to know what you're talking about, and that is what makes your audience valuable – not the numbers. Buying followers is a short term boost but once you're found out, not only will the invites dry up, but your peers wont be interested in getting to know you – which is a real shame.
If anything, this whole debacle has taught (hopefully) PRs to do a bit more research on bloggers audiences and not to just rely on numbers (which will benefit the bloggers with a more loyal but smaller audience) and bloggers that there is no shortcut to becoming the next big thing. Just keep working at it. You'll get there!
What Is The etailPR Bloggers Network?
I never even knew that you could do such a thing as buy followers. Seems like a rather bizarre concept to me! I agree with you in that I don't think you'd get as much satisfaction if you knew that you'd faked your way to success.
I do get frustrated with how slow building followers is.. but you're right, every single new (genuine) follower I get, I do a little dance in my head.
Still doesn't stop me from sometimes having "I WISH I HAD MORE FOLLOWERS" strops, but still I don't think I would ever buy them.
I get this little happy feeling every time someone new follows me on twitter because it suggests they actually like and read my tweets/blog, so hearing that people actually spend money buying followers just to make themselves look popular seems ridiculous to me. I can think of many things I'd much rather spend my hard earned cash on!
I'd much rather have genuine followers who I interact with and chat to than thousands of robots. I'd feel like I was talking (or tweeting) to an empty room.
This is a totally new concept to me, and I cannot believe buying followers is actually a thing. It's ridiculous!
Buying ads to expose yourself to a wider audience – absolutely. Buying fake followers? God no. What's the point?
Having a "large number" doesn't give you anything – I don't follow people because they already have a ton of follower (in fact sometimes that can put me off!).
I follow people for their quality content, which I think you're less likely to get if they're willing to buy their followers in the first place!
