How to craft the ultimate winter album
Thursday, December 11, 2014 by Zach McCormick in Music
Baby, it's cold outside.
It's a tradition for Minnesota bands to buckle down in the studio during the depressing months of our bipolar weather cycle. When the world outside offers nothing but sub-zero temperatures, black ice, and nearly constant darkness, you start to run out of excuses to cancel band practice.
Like perennials waiting to bloom under a pile of dead-leaf fertilizer, our scene uses brutality outside as fuel for the muse. Come spring, you've got an album, and a reason to live. Think of all the fun you've been missing -- until now.
Here's our step-by-step guide to transforming your winter from a snot-filled disappointment into a creative goldmine.
Find Your Muse
Look for the grand theme that will take you away from another day of long, freezing bus rides to your soul-deadening wait-assist job. Feel free to nurse this one for as long as it takes. This is the nucleus that you're going to have to build your entire project around, so make sure it's something you can live with long-term.
Have you recently survived a harrowing breakup? Heartbreak is universal, and always makes for rich pathos, which we'll need later. If you're going for romantic inspiration, make sure it's of the negative or unrequited quality. Nobody wants to listen to an album about how much you and your fiancée love hot cocoa and snowshoeing together. Your constant Instagram pictures are irritating enough. Christ.
Imagine that your inspiration is a small, loose thread on that awful Christmas sweater you thrifted on a lark a few years back. Your job is to pull on that little bastard until the sweater is reduced to a pile of so many multi-colored, Schlitz-stainted woolen strands. Congrats. You're about to weave that wool into cash.
Select Your Woodshed
Thoreau had his house on Walden, the Stones had their heroin-infested palace at Nellcôte, and even Bon Iver had a dumpy little cabin in the armpit of the Midwest. Your woodshed is going to be crucial to the development of your masterpiece. Note that an actual woodshed is not necessary, unless you're a lumbersexual.
This is going to be where the bulk of your songwriting gets done. Pick somewhere relatively cozy, because you'll be spending a lot of time there, but nothing too comfortable. Maybe your family has an abandoned but picturesque lake house somewhere? Trailer park property is always cheap! Spots in the city can work in a pinch, but make sure they're particularly masochistic. If your practice space is relatively well heated and ventilated, find somewhere more decrepit, with leaks in the walls for the wind to howl ominously through. You'll thank us later.
Your woodshed nets you street cred in a simple, linear formula. The more rustic and "off the grid" your shed becomes, the less likely your art will be compromised by the whorish touch of society. You lose points for distracting amenities like cell phone service and running water. Ideally, this location will add a little incidental adversity for you to face on a daily basis, something that we can use to color your narrative further down the road. It is possible to pull off the "bedroom as woodshed" gambit, but not advised for beginners.
Assemble Your Team
Depending on your previous decisions, this team may consist of a classic lineup of bandmates, a trusted friend with engineering talents, or a wise and esoteric guru. They're going to be your companions on your search for truth and beauty, and your tools to achieve your fevered dreams of perfection. This step is no small consideration. These people can make or break your project, so it's important to choose wisely.
Factors such as chemistry and musical talent are of only minor importance. After all, you're the genius here. These people mostly exist to do your bidding and help you actualize complex concepts. Instead, put significant consideration into factors like "physical attractiveness" and "media savvy." You're going to be posing for a lot of photos in later steps, and that means we're looking for more Zander/Petersson types, especially if you're a Nielsen or a Carlos. Search for partners with interesting back stories. Boring bandmates make for boring records, and besides, a little friction just might just light your fire, St. Anger-style.
Hot Tip: Feel like a big gamble? Find someone with whom you share a moderate-to-high level of sexual tension and invite them to be your partner. The constant will-they, won't-they dynamic will make for some seriously charged songwriting moments, and you might even get lucky. The worst thing that could happen is a toxic breakup situation. That just leaves us back at square one, but with even more songwriting ammo!
Stoke Your Seasonal Affective Disorder
This may be the most crucial step of all. Call it what you will -- the "winter blues," "cabin fever," "mercury retrograde," whatever. The important thing here is for you to sink into a deep, inconsolable depression for the remainder of the winter. Your status as a tortured genius is crucial to the overarching storyline of your album, as it makes you vulnerable and relatable for everyone north of the Mason-Dixon.
This shouldn't be too difficult if you're new to winters, or if you live in a particularly hellish climate like Minnesota. Nurture every shitty mood like a newborn child, and allow yourself to exist in a near-constant sulk. The best part is that you can't be held responsible for your misanthropy at a later point, since you're a special snowflake, haunted by a mental illness that half of the fucking planet manages to deal with every year.
Gather Your Gear
The aim here is to amass a suite of equipment that gives legitimacy to your quest. Put together a list and take a trip to the music stores and thrift shops in your town. Don't worry about having much of a budget. What we're going for is equipment with personality, preferably stuff with a highly Instagram-able aesthetic. Never, ever, ever buy a microphone built later than the year 1989, and if you must, lie and say that it's vintage. A lo-fi, homespun setup will lend austerity to your masterpiece, and the freedom from the pressures of well-trained, helpful, and professional engineers will allow your genius room to truly breathe.
When you're setting up your gear, make sure to put things together in a haphazard, bohemian fashion with an eye for good lighting. Ideally, your cables should become one massive, intractable bird's nest, and you're going to want to stack half-functional guitars or keyboards in artful locations. This is especially true for those following the "Bedroom" path mentioned earlier. If your room looks even remotely comfortable to sleep in, you're not trying hard enough.
Declare Intent
It is now time to announce your quest to the masses. Keep it tasteful, and tease your potential supporters with the barest details of your project and keep them salivating all winter. Try sharing a quaint photo of the "Welcome" sign to your new hamlet of 1,500 people, or a freshly packed suitcase, on your social networking pages. Dole out information at a glacial pace. The winter is long and we can't blow the surprise just yet.
Begin Hibernation
The moment of truth has finally arrived. It's time for you to pack up your awful car, with bandmates in tow, and make the trek out to your woodshed. Bring plenty of warm but fashionable clothes, empty notebooks, booze, drugs, and great works of literature for "inspiration" (props for later photos). Oranges can help prevent scurvy, and if the seasonal-affective thing is for real, feel free to bring along some sort of Vitamin D supplement or an artificial-sun lamp.
Once you're onsite and fully set up, don't rush anything. You've got to let your immense talent warm up, like an engine after a cold start. Treat yourself to a week-long bender, or indulge in a fit of depressed wallowing. Whatever you decide, remember to drag your bandmates into your dark spiral as well. Fights are a win-win proposition for you as they add a crucial element of drama to your narrative, and further bend your partners to your maniacal will.
Document, Document, Document
It's a well known historical anecdote that, upon relating their storied expedition of the Northwest Territory to President Jefferson, pioneers Lewis and Clark were met with a nonplussed reaction from their commander in chief, who remarked tersely: "Pics or it didn't happen." The message here is simple: Don't be like Lewis and Clark, especially if you want to see a stack of Jeffersons at the end of all this.
Instead, endeavor to be more of a Columbus or Cortez-esque explorer of your surroundings during your hibernation period. Plunder the wilderness for every single Kodak moment it contains; you never know what will make for good Instagram or album cover fodder once the process is finished. Consider keeping a diary or journal of your daily thoughts. It's a great way to fill up excess notebook space when the songs aren't flowing, and your pensive musings may one day be dissected by a biographer.
In order for your masterpiece to sing with true authenticity, you will eventually need to break down the barriers between yourself and your new adoptive home/temporary prison. You will never achieve greatness without bearing witness to winter's heart of darkness. Conveniently, by this point in our journey, you and your bandmates are probably teetering on the edge of a psychotic break from a combination of boredom and substance abuse. Do not fear that break, embrace it.
You'll notice yourself drawn to erratic behavior, like wearing flannel from head to toe, or becoming convinced that you are, in fact, a French-Canadian beaver pelt trader named Jean-Baptiste. Your behavior may alienate your loved ones or partners, but this should be of little consequence to you at such a crucial juncture.
Think of yourself as Brando, and this portion of your songwriting and recording as method acting. In order to realize the furthest reaches of your craft, you must give yourself completely over to your art. This will test every ounce of your resolve, but stay the course. This critical. While lesser artists will be content to sit around the fireplace and strum pensively like a bunch of assholes, you will be making the final step on your crusade of staggering genius.
Congratulations! You've made it to the final stretch! It's time to return from your vision quest and bring your tablets of rock to the masses. It's been a couple of long, hard months, so don't be surprised if the transition back into normal society is a rocky one. You may find that your significant other or music-business backer doesn't fully comprehend the gift you have just given to the world. Give them time, they will eventually see things your way. You must hold on the utter conviction, and though you may be tempted to return to the comfort of your woodshed immediately, we have work to do.
Begin your press campaign in earnest. Tell anyone and everyone about your ordeal, and make sure to frame things with a flair for the dramatic. Feel free to embellish the truth ever-so-slightly with attention-grabbing anecdotes about bear attacks. Even if you're caught in your lie later on, great art saves even the blackest of souls, and nobody will hold it against you. Make sure to hammer home the main points we discussed earlier when it comes time to give interviews. Pause to get misty-eyed, and seem slightly shaken when you're pushed to recall the details of your harrowing excursion, and never give too much detail. Some things are best left to the imagination, and they wouldn't understand what we've been through together.

Violence Begets Violence is the seventh studio album by underground Philadelphia hip hop duo Jedi Mind Tricks. This is their only album to not feature production from Stoupe the Enemy of Mankind because "his heart wasn't into making JMT records anymore" as well as the fact that both Vinnie Paz and Jus Allah grew tired of waiting. Two singles were released, "Target Practice" and "When Crows Descend Upon You," for which a video has been made. In addition, Shuko remixed the song "Target Practice".

Reception
This album received mixed and often polarized reviews. XXL Magazine gave the album an L, saying that despite Stoupe's absence on the production, "not even the occasional curve ball (like the reggae-inflected "Chalice") can harness Paz's Mephistophelean fervor." HipHopDX noted in a 3/5 review that "the rage filled rants can become monotonous as the album wears on, but some longtime fans will be satisfied with the angst-fueled vocals." Other critics were not so kind. Matthew Cole, writing for Slant Magazine, derided the disc's production in a 0.5/5 write-up, saying "a crew of guest producers step in to stuff the album with sub-Luger trunk rattlers and RZA knock-offs that are a lot less spooky than their portentous titles would suggest." The album earned 66 out of 100 from review aggregator Metacritic based on 5 reviews.

Sales
The album debuted at #92 on Billboard 200 being the groups best chart performance earning their first ever top 100 spot, selling 4,400 copies in the first week. As of January 1, 2012 the album has sold 10,652 copies in the US.

"THE HEART OF BLUES ALSO BEATS IN SIBERIA"
My horse bestows power and strenghth upon me.
in the mouth and whistle cheerfully.
so lost and far away.
and the cigarette pointing towards the forehead.
and one hundred in my worker's hand.
You – were small and I – was young.
Soon a new song will confess itself.
fills the soul with unbearable grief.
She is more mysterious than midnight.
Her soul is free from sorrow.
It is my fate to suffer for her.
Is longing for the silent shore.
I learn how to braid it into hair, into time.
learn from the stars how to be silent and good.
as a willow tending the slumbering Russia.
the path into the soul's empty lumber bag.
the path and sweeps it smooth for me.
like the autumn gold of the lime-trees".
her – whipped by the wind.
and gave you such a rotten destiny?
See you later, friend mine, see you later.
Darling, you are always in my soul.
Promises reunion down the road.
Nor is living any more untried.
With its outrageous, rugged hand.
It embellishes deceit with trickery.
The eternal truth you do not need.
That this life has been the righteous way.
Let the boys delude you and betray.
I"ve got mercilessly used to everything.
Highness chills my heart. I"m feeling daunted.
And the stars are cold, unlike they used to be.
Those I worshiped have forgotten me.
I am grateful to my life for all.

As I've been prepping for my upcoming workshop – Reconnect to your Divine Inspiration – I've been inundated by examples of what it means to be both deeply connected AND disconnected, too.
Clients showing up with stories around what happens when you trust the opinion of others others more than you trust yourself.
A day of being reminded what it's like when Divine Inspiration is "offline" (uggh, it's horrid!), and so much more.
About how I learned to work with my own Divine Inspiration to positively influence my writing.
It's something I've been told often, and from a very young age. I was also encouraged to write a book while I was still a teenager.
But my problem was that I never knew what I wanted to write about. Nothing ever felt quite right!
I'm not much of a fiction writer. It just doesn't suit me.
However writing with purpose is my jam, and I've found that writing blog posts is a wonderful way of supporting my clients.
You see, it comes from very personal direct experience, as I've been navigating a very powerful Kundalini awakening.
It's been really real AND highly surreal.
And because my mind can't make sense of what's going on in the way it'd like, the poetry has been a necessary outlet.
A way of creatively attempting to meet inexplicable, non-linear experiences with a description I can somehow make sense of.
Hence the evolution of my mystical poetry!
What I've learned in the last couple of years is that working like this IS the flow state of Divine Inspiration.
Where I'm not trying to use just my mind to create. For me, writing in this way is a whole body experience.
Most of my poetry is written on the fly. Many of the pieces take form within just a handful of minutes.
I often write because I feel compelled to, either right after some huge shift, or the next day. I don't have to think about it at all.
Instead, I find myself tuning into the feeling. The energy. The emotion. Then, the words come as a way to communicate with the mysteriousness of this process.
A total slog. I had so much resistance to writing, EVEN THOUGH I love it!
Now, I find that generally speaking, whenever I create anything – not just poetry – I'm coming from that beautiful space of connection with the Divine.
It's almost as if writing has become an extension of my meditation practice, because it expresses from that place of deep stillness.
I find myself listening for the words, if that makes any sense!
We all have less than stellar days, don't we? Days where no matter how much progress we've made, we feel like we're back at the starting line.
During those times, that connection to the Divine can get "clouded over". In the same way that the sun is still shining even on rainy days but we can't see it due to local weather, the flow state can seemingly shut down.
Mostly this doesn't happen to me any more. But when it does… oh the angst!
As part of the preparation for my upcoming workshop on Divine Inspiration I had a "cloudy day"!
Oy, oy, oy! It was a Sunday a few weeks ago.
I have to admit that I spent most of that morning in bed, letting comparisonitis talk to me loudly.
I allowed all of my "short-comings" and issues bubble up and be heard. I watched and I witnessed, and for the most part I tried my best not to problem solve. Just to allow those feelings and thoughts some space.
But I've gotta tell you, it was not the most enjoyable way to have a Sunday lie-in! And it took considerable effort to get myself up and out of the house.
I did, eventually. And as not-so-fun as that morning was, I realised how important it is to make room for our doubts and fears.
They don't serve us well when we stuff them down and pretend we don't have them at all!
At one point I realised… oh, this is what it's like to feel cut off from the Muse. This is part of what I need to understand in order to teach my workshop!
It's happening Sunday 9th September.
Find out more about it on the Facebook event page, and book your spot over on Eventbrite.
Earlybird rate ends Sunday 26th August, so book in now.
Spaces are also limited to a maximum of 15 attendees.

Stahleckeriidae zijn een familie van uitgestorven dieren behorend tot de Dicynodontia. Het waren herbivoren die tijdens het Trias leefden.

Fossiele vondsten
Fossielen van Stahleckeriidae zijn gevonden in Noord- en Zuid-Amerika, Afrika en Europa. Onder meer het Ischigualastobekken, de Rosário do Sul-groep en de Stormberggroep zijn belangrijke vindplaatsen van fossielen van Stahleckeriidae. De oudste vondsten dateren uit het Vroeg-Anisien, ongeveer 247 miljoen geleden. Het jongst bekende fossiel dateert uit het Vroeg-Rhaetien, ongeveer 205 miljoen jaar geleden.

Kenmerken
De Stahleckeriidae behoorden tot de grootste landdieren van hun tijd. Veel soorten waren zo groot als een nijlpaard en Lisowicia zelfs zo groot als een olifant. Ze hadden een robuust lichaam met een korte staart en stevige poten. De schedel was groot met een tandeloze, gehoornde bek.

Classificatie
De Stahleckeriidae behoort tot de Kannemeyeriiformes, een omvangrijke groep binnen de dicynodonten en de voornaamste herbivore landdieren tijdens het Trias tot de opkomst van de Sauropodomorpha. De familie bestaat uit twee onderfamilies, de Stahleckeriinae en de Placeriinae.

Arthur Wooster BSC
Role: 2nd Unit Cinematographer
Arthur retired in 2007 and has 'worked' once since then when he took part in an Channel 4 programme about The Queen in 3D in 2009, having pioneered the 3D process in 1953.
Mr Wooster, 80, and his colleague Bob Angell, 87, filmed the Queen using two cameras simultaneously at different angles before blending the footage together into a single picture.
The film covered the procession to and from Westminster Abbey, a trip to the Derby at Epsom, and rare footage of the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh on the Royal Barge on the River Thames shortly after the Coronation.
Ironically, the reason the film, which cost £3,000 to make, was never broadcast in cinemas was because the Coronation caused an explosion in popularity in television. It was the first time cameras were allowed inside Westminster Abbey.
When Buckingham Palace was informed about the film the Queen was so thrilled that she invited Mr Wooster and Mr Angell, who are lifelong friends, to go behind the cameras again to obtain contemporary 3D footage at Buckingham Palace and the Highland Games.
David Glover, Channel 4 specialist factual commissioning editor, said: "The film is amazing. It is decades ahead of their time. It is the nearest thing to time travel that I will ever experience."
The film reflected the extraordinary outpouring of hope, in the bleak post-war years, generated by the Coronation as three million people surged into the centre of London.
Mr Angell, who lives in Fulham, said: "It was an extraordinary day. There was a wonderful atmosphere. It never occurred to us, as we operated the only equipment of its kind in the world, that we would become part of history.
"We had high hopes for the film but the business of installing 3D equipment in cinemas had begun to take its toll, the 3D bubble burst, and it was shelved."
The newsreel only came to light when Mr Wooster's son David, who is also a filmmaker, was planning to do some 3D filming at the last World Cup.
"I thought for once I would be doing something that he had not done. But he said he had sone something in 3D 1953 and he trumped me with the Queen. It is like a little time capsule. You really do feel like you are part of the era," Mr Wooster said.
Having tracked it down in the British film Institute archive he presented it to his father, who lives in Berkhampsted, at his 80th birthday party, on a laptop.
The two men's company Film Partnership was later taken over by Richard Dimbleby, the doyen of broadcasters, who had provided the commentary for the Coronation. It later procured the first ever television travel programme in which Mr Dimbleby's sons David and Jonathan had cameo roles.

Ostlie Farm hopes recent rain pushes corn, soybeans along
A timely storm did pass through on Aug. 9, dropping between three-quarters and 2 inches of rain on the Ostlie fields. Time will tell whether that will be enough.
Written By: Jenny Schlecht | 5:30 am, Aug. 14, 2021
The soybean crop near Northwood, N.D. has done OK, despite a mostly dry late July and early August, says Tom Metz. Grand Forks County, where Northwood is located, is in a severe drought with a small portion classified as extreme drought. (Katie Pinke / Agweek)
This is a part of the ongoing Follow a Farmer Agweek series where the Agweek editorial team follows farmers across the Upper Midwest U.S. learning about their farm, background, and 2021 growing to harvest season. Agweek publisher Katie Pinke visited with Tom Metz of Northwood, North Dakota, and will return for visits later in the growing season and harvest.
NORTHWOOD, North Dakota —The last couple of years on the Ostlie Farm near Northwood have been very wet. This year is a much different story.
"We've got fields that are going to be good, fields that are going to be average and fields that are going to be below average," said Tom Metz, who farms on the Ostlie Farm with his brother-in-law Richie Ostlie. Metz is married to Ostlie's sister, Jenny.
Most of Grand Forks County, where Northwood is located, is in severe drought, with a small portion in the worse condition of extreme drought. Ostlie Farm raises corn and soybeans. The soybean crop has done OK, despite a mostly dry late July and early August. That's mostly due to the high water table and drain tiling they started during the wet years. They also planted deeper and did less tillage than normal, in the spring, expecting a dry season.
"If we don't get more rain, the beans are going to decide whether they want to fill the top pods or whether they're going to abort the top pods and just try to fill the bottom ones," said Tom Metz, Northwood, North Dakota, farmer.

"If we don't get more rain, the beans are going to decide whether they want to fill the top pods or whether they're going to abort the top pods and just try to fill the bottom ones," he said.
The farm received, depending on the field, close to 2 inches of rain in July but nothing in August before the Aug. 9 storm.
"Our drier, sandier fields are really hurting this year," he said, saying those fields will be a "big disappointment." "Our higher moisture fields, higher water table fields, some of those are looking pretty good."
Prior to the Aug. 9 storm, Metz thought an inch of rain would help fill the pods. If the pods on the plants fill, he expects a pretty decent crop.
Tom Metz raises corn and soybeans with his brother-in-law Richie Ostlie at Northwood, N.D. "We do have some fields, and we're thinking it was drought stress, where the seeds randomly didn't pollinate," said Metz about the corn crop on August 6, 2021 when Agweek visited. (Katie Pinke / Agweek)
Ostlie Farm is close to 50-50 corn and soybeans, with a rare field of wheat thrown in for rotation purposes. The story is about the same for the corn crop, if not worse.
"We do have some fields, and we're thinking it was drought stress, where the seeds randomly didn't pollinate," he said. "It's still going to produce something, but we don't know what yet. It needs more rain just to finish filling."
"We've got fields that are going to be good, fields that are going to be average and fields that are going to be below average," said Tom Metz, who farms on the Ostlie Farm with his brother-in-law Richie Ostlie. Metz is married to Ostlie's sister, Jenny. Photo taken on August 6, 2021, near Northwood, N.D. (Katie Pinke / Agweek)
Timely rains have helped the corn immensely. Metz said some of the crop was showing drought stress earlier this summer, and a two-inch rain perked it up. On some land, the corn has been able to "root down" and find the moisture it needs. That's not possible on all the fields, making those timely rains even more important.
"On the sandy stuff, it can root down all day long and it won't find water," he said.
Filling a role
Tom and Jenny Metz met when their fathers both served on the American Soybean Association board. They married in 2007. Tom left his family farm in South Dakota for an off-farm career and then to farm with Jenny's brother Richie Ostlie with Ostlie Farms at Northwood, N.D. Jenny is a pharmacist for Northwood Deaconness Health Center. Together, they are raising their three children in rural Northwood. (Katie Pinke / Agweek)
While Ostlie and Tom Metz wait to see what will happen with the crops, Tom's wife, Jenny, prepares for her busy season on the farm. Jenny and her mother bring meals out to the crew during harvest. That's in addition to her off-farm job as a pharmacy manager at the hospital in Northwood.
"It's a balance, but I enjoy in the fall during harvest," she said. "I enjoy making food and bringing it out to the guys when they're working late nights and working hard."
Moving back to her family's farm wasn't necessarily in her plans from the beginning. She and Tom met at an American Soybean Association convention when their fathers served on the board together. They married in 2007, when she was still in pharmacy school. Moving either to Tom's family farm in South Dakota or her family farm in Northwood were possibilities, as was not going back to either operation.
But now that they have their three kids back on the farm, she said she loves helping when she can.

CBS Fires Imus
Published April 12, 2007 | By kimsch
Okay. I've been silent on this for a while but this is just too much.
The guy is an idiot. He always has been. He's made comments like this before.
But people are insulted all the time. People have their feelings hurt all the time. People are offended all the time. Some people are offensive all the time.
Personally, rap music offends me. I'm not suing R Kelly, Snoop Dog, et al. for the sexist content of their songs. I never listened to Imus.
CBS statement says that the language wasn't good for kids. What kids listened to Imus? Plenty of kids listen to rap and hear that language every day. Plenty of kids use that language daily. In school, on the playground, at the park.
"There has been much discussion of the effect language like this has on our young people, particularly young women of color trying to make their way in this society," CBS President and Chief Executive Officer Leslie Moonves said in announcing the decision. "That consideration has weighed most heavily on our minds as we made our decision."
The man is an idiot but shouldn't have been fired over it.
When will the lawsuits start? The guy's out of two jobs now, so how much will they get if they do sue?
Agent Cool Blue Recall
Listerine's Agent Cool Blue for kids has been recalled, all lots, all flavors:
MORRIS PLAINS, NEW JERSEY – April 11, 2007 – McNEIL-PPC, Inc. (the "Company") today announced a voluntary nationwide consumer recall of all lots of the GLACIER MINT™ and BUBBLE BLAST™ flavors of LISTERINE® AGENT COOL BLUE™ Plaque-Detecting Rinse after the Company determined that the preservative system is not adequate against certain microorganisms. The Company has been in full communication with the FDA regarding this issue and the decision to implement a voluntary recall. The Company is recalling all bottles of AGENT COOL BLUE™ Plaque-Detecting Rinse, an estimated 4 million, from both retailers and consumers.
The Company conducted a thorough assessment and concluded that the risk of illness in healthy individuals following use of this product is very low. However, there could be a significant health risk to individuals with weakened or suppressed immune systems. To date, there have been no consumer adverse health events reported that are related to this issue.
The recall affects all existing bottles of AGENT COOL BLUE™ Plaque-Detecting Rinse. Consumers should discontinue using and properly discard the product, and may obtain a full refund through calling the Company's toll free consumer line 1-888-222-0249 and mailing in the back label, including the UPC code. Additional information can be found at the product website www.agentcoolblue.com.
Introduced in 2006, AGENT COOL BLUE™ Plaque-Detecting Rinse tints plaque blue for better brushing. Consumers can readily distinguish this product by the cartoon character on the front of the bottle. Only AGENT COOL BLUE™ Plaque-Detecting Rinse products are affected by this action. No other LISTERINE® branded products are affected and they remain safe and effective for use as directed.
"We have voluntarily initiated this recall of AGENT COOL BLUE™ Plaque-Detecting Rinse because our primary concern is that consumers have complete confidence in the safety and effectiveness of our products," said Paul Sturman, President, Consumer Healthcare North America, McNEIL-PPC, Inc. "This voluntary action is in keeping with our longstanding policy of providing timely and effective consumer information about all our products."
AGENT COOL BLUE™ Plaque-Detecting Rinse has been sold to consumers through supermarkets, drug stores, mass merchants and other retail outlets, and is sold to dental professionals' offices nationwide. The Company is contacting dental professionals and retailers directly as part of their recall notification process.
We have been using Agent Cool Blue for a while and it makes the kids WANT to brush their teeth. This stuff is far better than the little red tablets they had us chew during dental hygiene week at elementary school, especially since you could use this every day. I hope that the preservative issue is resolved quickly and McNeil-PPC can get Agent Cool Blue back on the shelves as soon as possible.
You can download the refund request form here. Peel the back label off the bottle (carefully, to include the UPC and lot number) and send the form and the label in for a refund.

Internationally-exhibited artist Don Porcella works in a range of materials, but is best known for his sculptural work in pipe cleaners. Porcella's meticulously crafted figures transform this staple of childhood craft into high art. Working in his signature medium and using a weaving technique honed over many years, Porcella has created a series of original dioramas that present an imagined tale of an alien encounter. The narrative that transpires across the display cases reflects a long-standing fascination with science fiction that began in Porcella's childhood.


The chart to the right shows how food costs haven risen in the UK in recent years on most items.
Since 1999 prices have, overall, doubled. People here are really feeling the pressure of these higher prices along with electricity rates that rose by 10% this fall, a new tax that just went into effect and the general economic downtrend of the last five years.
More people are eating a generally vegetarian diet to cut costs. Many people talk of heating their homes for only 1 hour in the morning and 1 hour in the evening. Extra layers and hats indoors have become popular.
But, despite all this the people just keep finding a way to go on with a smile on their faces. The smile may be wearing thin but it is still there. They keep looking for ways to make a pence go farther: new recipes, different places to shop, growing their own, eating less, knitting hand warmers to wear inside, making sweaters and neck scarves. The list goes on.
People in the US are doing the same and often for very similar reasons. But there is something about the human spirit. It is so resilient. People just keep going, doing their best, and waiting for a brighter tomorrow.
Makes you proud, doesn't it.

Five Rights Organisations Demand an Immediate End to the Use of Firearms in Dispersing Demonstrations
Five human rights organisations today held a press conference calling for a ban on the use of firearms in dispersing demonstrations. The conference came two days before the second court hearing of the case requiring an abolition of the use of firearms in dispersing demonstrators, which will be held on Tuesday 28 February before the First Circuit of the Cairo Administrative Court.
The case (number 9544 of judicial year 66) was brought by activist Malek Mostafa – who lost the use of his right eye to a rubber bullet injury on 19 November 2011 – along with the activist Fatma el-Abed and with the cooperation of the five rights organisations (the Egyptian Centre for Economic and Social Rights, Nadim Centre for the Rehabilitation of Victims of Violence and Torture, Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights, Association for Freedom of Thought and Expression, and Arab Network for Human Rights Information).
The case requests the suspension and repeal of ministerial decree no. 156 of 1964, which permits the use of firearms and live ammunition to disperse demonstrations and sit-ins. It also challenges the refusal by either the head of the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces, the Prime Minister, or the Interior Minister, to issue a decree limiting security engagement with peaceful protests to water hoses, and prohibiting the dispersal of demonstrations and sit-ins with live ammunition, rubber bullets, birdshot pellets, tear gas bombs, or any other weapons which endanger the lives of Egyptians.
Since the beginning of the January revolution, more than 1,000 have been killed and thousands of others wounded at the hands of security forces due to the excessive and unlawful use of firearms and tear gas, said the aforementioned organisations. During the revolution, and in all events which followed, the organisations documented a repeated pattern of using weapons against unarmed demonstrators with the intent to kill or cause serious injury or permanent disability.
The organisations confirmed that security forces fired on demonstrators' heads and chests with live ammunition, killing more than 1,000 in one year. They also fired shotgun pellets in the upper half of the body and at close range, causing death and serious injury, and targeted demonstrators' eyes with rubber bullets and birdshot, with the intent to cause permanent disability, leading to tens losing their sight. Rights organisations also documented the excessive use and misuse of tear gas, including by firing tear gas in confined spaces and targeting demonstrators' bodies with tear gas canisters, increasing the number of dead and injured.
The five organisations underlined the need to amend the legislative framework surrounding security forces' use of weapons, including an absolute ban on using weapons against peaceful demonstrators, stringent conditions for using weapons when arresting suspects, and stronger protection of freedom of opinion and expression. They also confirmed that they would continue to support the families of the martyrs and injured until they achieve justice and all perpetrators are brought to trial.

Background: Each of the two main approaches to catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF, segmental and circumferential) is associated with moderate long-term efficacy.Objective: To report the long-term outcomes of a modified technique that combines circumferential ablation with pulmonary vein (PV) isolation, determined by a circular mapping catheter and to determine the relationship between complete PV isolation and long-term efficacy.Methods: The patient population was composed of 64 consecutive patients (47 men [73%]; age 59 +/- 11 years) with AF who underwent catheter ablation. AF was paroxysmal in 29 (45%) and nonparoxysmal in 35 (55%). Each patient was followed for a minimum of 12 months.Results: After a mean follow-up of 13 +/- 1 months, the long-term single-procedure success rate was 45% (n = 29) with an additional 4% (n = 3) of patients demonstrating improvement. With repeat procedures in 19 patients, the overall long-term success rate was 62% (n = 40) with 9% (n = 6) demonstrating improvement. All the patients who underwent repeat ablations had recovered PV conduction. Incomplete PV isolation was the only independent predictor of failure. A major complication occurred in four (6%) patients, including three patients with vascular complications and one with cardiac tamponade.Conclusion: Our results suggest that the long-term single-procedure efficacy of circumferential ablation with PV isolation in a cohort of patients with predominantly nonparoxysmal AF approaches 50%. Repeat procedures involving re-isolation of the PVs result in a significant improvement in outcomes. Complete electrical isolation of the PVs has a significant impact on the long-term efficacy of the procedure.

Ukraine will propose to the UN General Assembly to approve the confiscation of Russian assets - Guardian
19 September 2022 -11:00
Ukraine will offer allies to vote at the UN General Assembly on a resolution on the confiscation of Russian assets as reparations for the unleashed war.
This is reported by The Guardian.
Ukraine will speak about the creation of an international compensation mechanism, on the basis of which it is possible to confiscate frozen Russian assets.
According to the publication's sources, high-ranking officials of the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine discussed this issue in London with the leadership of the British Foreign Ministry.
In addition, similar discussions were held by the Ukrainian side with colleagues in Germany, France and other EU countries, as well as with the Assistant Secretary of the US Treasury Elizabeth Rosenberg.
As the publication recalled, earlier the head of the US Treasury Janet Yellen stated that the legislation in force in the country does not allow Washington to collect reparations from the Russian Federation, since the United States is not a participant in the war.
According to the publication, the US could apply the law on trading with the enemy or the law on international emergency economic powers.
The reparations were supported in a joint statement by the finance ministers of Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Slovakia. Liz Truss, as Foreign Secretary, expressed her principled support for this idea.
British and European sanctions legislation allows states to freeze the assets of the Russian Central Bank and some oligarchs, but does not provide for permanent arrest, let alone their unilateral transfer to the Ukraine Recovery Fund.
