Jesse Popp covers everything from surviving life without health insurance to his true feelings about "Star Wars," Guinness World Records and the moon landing conspiracy.
Fantastic, um...
One of my favorite things
is when people bragabout what they would do
in a hypothetical situationthat will never happen.
Uh, I was at a bar,and this guy was talking to me.
And he said to me, he goes,
"Man, you know what, man?
If I ever met the president,wouldn't even shake his hand."
Wow, that is pretty badass.
How are you goingto meet the president?
Is he going to do like, uh,whistlestop tour
on the Coors LightSilver Bullet Train?
Maybe give youthe Congressional Medal
of having your own pool cue.
They're very prestigious.
It's like,"Man, you know what, man?"
"If I ever playedthe Harlem Globetrotters,
I'd focus on the fundamentals."
"Box him out!Hit your free throws!"
Uh, uh,
I saw they came out with a newversion of Huckleberry Finn,
the book where they,
they take outall of the "N" words
and replace itwith the word "slave."
So, now, Huck's friend will beknown as Slave Jim in the book.
Uh, why not just call him Jim?
That seems like...
"Hey, Jim, how's it going?"
"Ah, pretty good.Win some, lose some."
"How are you?""I'm all right. See ya, Jim."
Seems like an easier fix to me.
Uh, I guess, but they saidthey changed this
so they can start teaching itin schools again.
I don't knowwhat that's teaching children.
Now they're going togo home and be like,
"Grandpa, that's racist. You'resuppose to call them slaves."
I was at, I saw, um,
I was at the bookstoreand I saw they have, uh,
they have all theJason Bourne novels there.
You guys have seen that,seen the movie, right?
I've seen the movie.The movies are fun.
I've never readone of the books.
I have to imaginethat the movies
aren't faithful adaptationsof the books.
Because I'm not surehow 80% fights and chases
would, uh, read, you know?
If you, get the, it's like,
"And then, Jason Bournepicked up a book
"and hit the guy in the headwith the book.
"And then he started putting itagainst the guy's face
"and started punching the book.
"But then the guy picked upa knife and that way...
Now, they're in the bathroom.Uh..."
"That guy picked up a knife
"and then Jason Bournepicked up a towel.
"Is he fighting backagainst a knife with a towel?
"Did the governmenttrain Jason Bourne
"to fight back againsta knife with a towel?
"That's what he's stilltrying to find out.
"'Where's Bourne?!Get me Bourne!'
"said the guy in the roomwhere everybody's typing.
"Now Jason Bourneis on a motorcycle.
And he just popped thiscrazy wheelie. Look out!"
Books are for nerds.
Fellas, a word to the wise:
if you're going to buy a bookon how to pick up chicks,
just please,check the copyright date.
You don't want to wind up likeme, lean against a lamppost
flipping a quarter all night.
Call them dames, smackin' them.
They don't care for thatanymore. Uh...
Uh... actually
I got a check in the mailfor $100
from my great aunt Noni.
She's like...Oh, did you know her? Cool.
I doubt it because she livesin the woods by herself. Um...
She's like 90-something,
and I didn't knowwhy I got this check,
so I called my momand apparently,
my great aunt Noni had senta hundred dollars to my sister
and my cousinswhen they got married.
And she told my mom, she said,
"I'm just going to send Jessethe hundred dollars now.
Because he's not going to getmarried before I die."
It's fine. I'm okay with it.
I'm talking about it on TV.It's fine. Uh...
And also, like, I mean,and you know,
and if I wait till she dies,there's other red tape.
I'd never see the money.Uh... (chuckles)
But also, like,I've literally seen this lady
like seven or eight timesin my whole life.
Where does she get offsizing up my chances?
It's like, "Jesse, that guy'snever going to get married."
"All he does is open up presentsand hang out at funerals.
"He's crazy!
Not the settling down type."
"Thank you for the socks.Sorry for your loss."
That's not what the modern womanwants to talk about.
Send him a check.
So I was eavesdroppingon these two dip(bleep). Um...
I wasn't...I didn't start that way.
I was sitting down at this,this coffee shop.
And these two guysstarted talking.
I swear this is verbatim.
I'm going to tell you, these twoguys were talking next to me.
And it starts off,his friend, uh,
he goes, "Dude, you knowwhat pisses me off
more than, like, anything?"
His friend goes, "What?"
"When you see likea seven or an eight
and she's withthis complete tool."
And his friend goes,"Dude, I know."
"Or what about a nine?"
And he just goes, "Dude..."
And I kind of wantedto lean in and be like,
"Well, what about a ten?"
But I didn't.
I didn't want to get chargedwith involuntary manslaughter
when they spontaneouslycombusted
at the thought ofa tool with a ten.
Actually, I wish I had knownthey were going to be there.
I'd have my friends sit down,
and he would say,"What about a ten?"
Then I would walk by with bothof their moms on my arms.
And be like,"Or what about two fives!"
"Or what about two...
...two fives!"
People ask me howI got into stand-up.
And what happened was,back, uh...
back when I was in college,
I'd wake upand I'd go to class
and I'd get coffeefrom this vending machine.
And this paper cup would dropdown and fill all the way up
to the top with thissuper hot coffee.
But there's no lid.And the cup was really thin.
So, no matter what I did,the whole way to class
I was just burning the hellout of my hand, right?
I was like, "Ah! Ah!"
Every morning for months,for months.
So, finally, finallyI just dropped out.
And, um...
Here I am. Uh...
I pay cash at the dentist.
I haven't had heath insurancein nine and a half years,
which sounds stupid,
but if you make it to ten,you win a free x-ray machine.
I hope. Uh...
Actually,I had to go to doctor recently.
I didn't know,I didn't know what it was.
Turns out that it was allergies,but at first,
I woke up one dayand I had a rash.
I was covered--this rash all over my body.
And I went to thishole-in-the-wall doctor.
The placewas actually called Docs.
And, um,
I walk in and I asked thedoctor, I go, "What is this?"
He goes, "Huh, I don't know."
Then he goes, "Tell you what,I'm going to write you
a prescription.If it doesn't work,
You're going to haveto see somebody else."
And he charged me $200,and then...
I did have to see somebody else.
And I was so mad,I Googled this guy
and I found out wherehe went to medical school.
This is true, this guy went
to the Autonomous Universityof Guadalajara.
The Autonomous Universityof Guadalajara.
And listen, I'm no xenophobe.
And I'm not sayingyou got to go to Harvard
or Johns Hopkinsto get a load of me.
I'm just saying, you know,maybe go to a school
that I've heard of beforeor that sounds real.
Or doesn't have the word"autonomous" in it.
Autonomous Universityof Guadalajara.
Is this a place you go whenyour scores aren't good enough
for theCancun Fixie People Place.
You're like,"Yeah, I graduated from
"Autonomous Universityof Guadalajara.
"Then I, uh, did my residencyover at Mi Casa Su Hospital.
"It's kind of a hut onthe side of an active volcano.
"We, we got a lot of patients.
"Uh, pretty, pretty standardstuff though, uh...
"Lava burns, uh...
"donkey bites...
"We got a lot of donkey bites.
"You know, it's funny,when I first moved here
"and opened up my practice,I just thought
"everything was donkey bites.
"I'd say sounds likeyou got donkey bites!
"You don't have a donkey?Well, how do you get
up and down the volcano?"
This is what I'd say.
It's been a dreamof mine
to get my name into The Guinness Book of World Records.
And, uh, it's a pretty big book.
I always figured there had to bea couple easy ones in there
that have maybe slipped throughthe cracks that I can do.
Like, uh, like you know, likeMost Part Irish. Or...
Two Weeks withoutEating Vegetables.
Something. But then I finallyread the whole book.
And they're all hard.The whole book is very hard.
World records, I saw one.This is a real record.
A guy won for Most Unusual Diet.
He has the record forThe Most Unusual Diet
because he can eat airplanes.
He ate an airplane.
And now he has the recordfor Most Unusual Diet.
I don't know, man.
I just hope, uh,
I just hope Al Qaeda doesn't geta hold of this guy.
You know, you're on your flightone day, you look over,
he's like... (grunting)
(grunts)I should have started
with the seats.
Calm down! Calm down!I filled up on seats.
For the next 20 years,no one can go to the gate
with a napkin tucked into their collar.
We're a nation of fearmongers.(chuckles)
These fiction...
(isolated clap)This guy wants to...
That guy cheered for wanting
to walk through the gatewith a napkin in his collar.
That's, uh, like, "Finally!"Uh...
I think, uh,
I think if Elvis did fakehis own death, um...
by now, he's probablydead anyway, I think.
Because it didn't...I don't see that guy
pulling through to present day.
Because back when I was a kid,it was always on the news.
People thought thatthey were seeing him.
It didn't sound like he hadgotten his act together.
You know, it'd be like,"I saw Elvis at a bar."
"I saw Elvis in a truck stopeating pancakes."
You know, nobody ever saw him,like, making a salad
or pricing outNordic Tracks or something.
That guy died in the woodsin 1985. That's, uh...
That's a best case scenario.
the belief thatwe didn't land on the moon,
that we faked the moon mission,
which, I like, becauseit's 40 years ago.
And it still drives them crazy.
They're furious. They say,"We never landed on the moon.
It's a conspiracy, and it goesall the way to the top!"
All right, let's say that,that we did fake it.
Who cares?
Like, what's the craziest thingthat happened?
Like, maybe we ticked offthe Russians.
Maybe Neil Armstronggot laid a few more times.
Let's face it, come closingtime, that moon credit
really gets your footin the door.
In fact, that's the only reasonthat you could get mad.
Like, if Neil Armstrong had sexwith your girlfriend,
then you can dissect the footage and be like,
"Honey, look at this.Look at this."
"The flag moves.He puts the flag on the moon,
"but it's wavingand it's moving.
"But, and you can't, there'sno stars in the picture.
"You can't see any stars.You know why?
"Because you're a whore.Because...
"I go...
"...out of townfor three days...
and you're porking astronauts."
You're off the softball team.
Uh, there are
some racist people there.Um...
The way that you can tellis if they have
Confederate flag license plates,
even though it's aUnion territory. Uh...
But it won't just be aConfederate flag,
it'll be like aConfederate flag and a deer.
Or like a Confederate flagand a guy fishing.
So it's kind of likethem saying,
"You know, I like to hunt.
"But also, I'm racist.
"Just so you know...
as I'm driving past you."Uh...
So I was talking to this guyand he goes,
"Man, white boys like mecan't go to Detroit."
And I used to live in Detroit.So I said,
"You know, I'm a white boy likeyou. I used to live there.
I think you'll be fine."And he goes,
"Oh, yeah? Well, not if I tookmy gun and wore stars and bars."
And I was like, well,that's probably true.
But, uh, is that your beef?
That you can't go in theredressed up like their archenemy?
Is that really the problem?
Like, you know, it's like,
"So I, you know,so I went in to Applebee's
"in my Friday's uniform
"and I was kicking over thetables and pissing on stuff.
"And they're like, 'Hey, whatgives? Get out of here.'
So you know, there goesthe neighborhood." Um...
and I don't want to offendanyone, but it's something
that's been on my mind and Ifeel like it needs to be said.
let's be done with Star Wars.
No more Star Wars.
It's just...
these people, I-I can't...
I watch it and it's okay.
But then, it just keeps goingand going and going.
Like, what happened after?What happened before?
What happened in the middleif it was a cartoon?
What happenedif it was Monopoly?
I get, I mean, Star Wars fansare getting to be like
the people who, like,when their dog dies,
they stuff it and put itin their living room
and make you keeplooking at it.
They're like, "Look at my dog.We're still best buddies.
"Took out the old eyeballs,put it new eyeballs.
"20 years ago, these eyeballswould have been impossible.
Let's watch my dog again."
I think in 50 years,
George Lucas, it's just going tobe his brain inside of a robot
that says "New ideas for Star Wars movies."
It'll be like,"Chewbacca goes to college."
"Darth Vader loses his wallet."
"Chewbacca goes to college.""We just made that one."
"Make it again!"
"Did you hear they're remakingChewbacca goes to college?"
I'll have to camp outfor that one.
So we can see it on Fridayinstead of Saturday.
Sometimes people camp out, uh,stand out, uh,
and play music for moneyon the street.
And I was walking past this guya little while ago,
and it was this old manand a cowboy hat.
And he was sitting on a crate.
And he had a speaker with himand he flipped a switch.
And it started to playthe music to Ring of Fire.
And he started to singand he sounded exactly
like Johnny Cash.Not a little bit. Exactly.
I had to make surethat he wasn't lip-syncing.
So I thought that was prettycool and I gave him a buck.
But then I noticed that he wasselling CDs for 12 bucks.
That's where he lost me.
I don't see how I benefitfrom buying that.
Like, I play it, you know,for my friends, I'm like,
"Hey, listen to this."
It's like,"Oh, it's Johnny Cash."
"No, it's not Johnny Cash.It's just some guy."
"Oh, I thought it was...Johnny Cash."
"How much did youpay for that?"
"Little bit morethan a Johnny Cash CD."
"Little bit, we had this,though. That's...
You can't put a price on that."
God bless it.
And I was walking aroundand I saw the aisle.
I saw bat houses,these bat houses.
I didn't know what they were
because I had seenbird houses before,
but there's a whole rowof things
called bat houses.They're wooden boxes.
They're called bat...And they have a tag on them.
And the tag says,"100% money back guarantee.
"This bat house will attractbats within two years...
or your money back."
Like, I would love to seehow you try
to get your money back fromthis. You call up, you're like,
"Hi, uh, two years ago...
"I bought a bat house
and there's no...there's no bats in it."
"Where did I put it?I put it in the front yar..."
"Oh, you gotta put itin the back yard. Oh, okay."
"Hi, uh, four years ago...
I bought a bat... Oh, youno longer sell bat houses?"
"What do you...snake apartments?!"

There is a special area at our fair geared toward kids.
We will have Mikey (the 911 dinosaur) there to help kids learn who they can call in an emergency, Child ID kits and a focus on Safe Kids, and we have 200 cans, that we call Kid Kans, that kids can put things in to have in case of evacuation or sheltering in place. We also have Sparkey's Fire Safety House, Smokey the Bear, and the Price Library will be there to help the kids make labels and checker sets for the Kid Kans. You and your child can bring any items you may wish (we have a few suggestions) to put into the Kid Kans, as long as it will fit into the cans. See below for information. 911 will be providing crayons for the cans.
We want to remind parents that while this may seem a safe place for kids to be, we cannot be responsible for your child. Please do not leave your young children unattended.

Skip to comments.Actor Robert De Niro: Obama will do ' better in the next four years'
Posted on 05/05/2012 11:11:37 AM PDT by ColdOne
"It's very easy to criticize people. I think he's done a good job. He's done other things that maybe he should have been a little stronger about, people will complain. But it's not easy to be President of the United States," said De Niro on NBC's "Press Pass" with David Gregory on Friday.
"I give him credit and I hope he does ... I know he'll do better in the next four years, when he won't have to worry whether he's gonna be elected or not," De Niro continued.
(Excerpt) Read more at thehill.com ...
more proof that artistic talent and IQ are not directly related
"""I give him credit and I hope he does ... I know he'll do better in the next four years, when he won't have to worry whether he's gonna be elected or not," De Niro continued""
Better for whom, genius?
There's as much chance of that happening as De Niro making a good movie in the next 4 years.
Hope for Spare Change
" "I give him credit and I hope he does ... I know he'll do better in the next four years, when he won't have to worry whether he's gonna be elected or not," De Niro continued."
That is America's biggest fear..
Now, why on earth do you suppose DeNiro would rally around a pResident that's done nothing positive for his Country?..Could there be another reason???.
I hope he does better too. I hope that in the next 4 years, after he has been defeated in November, that he becomes insanely rich, moves to his own island (a la Marlon Brando) and leaves us all alone.
Robert de Niro can go stay with him as a long term house guest, as far as I'm concerned. It will be a real California Hotel, where the guest check in, but cannot check out. Let them wallow in their own decadence.
Robert DeNiro is a disgrace to us Italians. Great actor, once, long ago!!! Now....a pure dummy who has lost both his acting skills and brains. Mr. DeNero is either smoking reefer or drinking too much kool-aid!!!
Bobby D should be doing PSA's for "This is you brain on drugs".
Unless they're up on the screen, actors have nothing to say worth listening to. De Niro was a helluva actor in Godfather II, Taxi Driver, Raging Bull and Goodfellas. But those were all a long time ago.
So is this an admission that NBC can't get any more insightful commentator on politics than a washed-up old hack actor?
Isn't the definition of insanity repeating the same behavior but expecting a different result? I guess DeNiro must be insane.
He'll avoid prosecution?
He'll be well-paid by our enemies?
How exactly will he "do better"???
Yes, DeNiro, Obama will do better—AS A PRIVATE CITIZEN!
He's had a few good ones, but mostly I think he badly overacts.
I always wanted to punch this prick in the nose...actors who play tough guys and then carry that persona in real life make me hurl
I bet he is more mary than man
I've seen DeNiro in real life. Like most actors he's much smaller and more delicate than he appears onscreen.
another movie "tough guy" has spoken. He was great in "Heat" but is real life he wimps out. So did Clint Eastwood but it took a while. Schwarzenegger turned out to be a big fat lib
He could probably give Wolfe Blitzer a run for his money on Jeopardy!
Just more proof that a low double digit IQ is needed to make an ass out of oneself.
A good actor is a human being with no mind, personality or life experience of their own just an empty shell, a hollow vessel, an inanimate tool.
This makes it possible for script writers & directors to pour an imaginary, fictitious character into them and get convincing results.
After filming they can pull the plug and drain the imaginary character out leaving the empty shell.
Robert DeNiro is a good actor.
ditto...I met him too...I actually said you are but a divot of a man aren't you....he shot me the bird
After all, if entertainer Bob Hope can receive the Medal, why not him.
Plus, Obama probably knows he'll get kneecapped if he doesn't recognize De Ziro's many sacrifices and contributions to society.
Uh, could you find a bigger picture? I can hardly see that one!
DeNiro is the same brain dead moron that stated "When I get to heaven God is gonna have to answer to me".
Nothing more need be said, his height, in inches, is not exceeded by his IQ.
Go away, Bobbie, you have no sense, credibility or judgment. You are what happens when "actors" try to comment on politics or the socialism you don't really understand.
Go to your room, now!
So is this an admission that NBC can't get any more insightful commentator on politics than a washed-up old hack actor?
Like my brother says, he's the Paul McCartney of Hollywood. Did great groundbreaking stuff 30 - 40 years ago but everthing he's does since is pure shiet. Yet people keep kissing his arse. Well he did do Goodfellas in 1990 but that was nothing really groundbreaking, same old De Niro with his mugging and tough guy act. That entire movie was taken word for word exactly from Nicholas Pugglesi book (if that's how you spell his name)...I read it years ago and it was like watching the movie in book form, a complete waste, nothing new.
Yeah, he'll have more "flexibility" then....
I don't know, he's doing a pretty good job of ruining the country right now.
Countdown 3-2-1 to the "He's a great actor..but.." idiots.
Don't matter what this guy has done in the past, this is The Enemy, folks, you better wake up.
Freepers pour millions into these people's pockets so they can be "entertained".
LOL I saw him too years ago in Greenwich village in New York city. A friend of mine pointed him out and I was like noooo way, he's too small. But it was him. Same with Tom Cruise who looked like a midget in person. With Cruise I remember thinking "How the hell did this little guy get all these roles?" The only movie star I saw who looked just like they do on screen was Bruce Willis although he appeared thinner.
huge picture worth a thousand words..
kind of like the Fonz, a wimp in reality!
Ever seen DeNiro on a talk show? He's even stupider than the average actor. Wasn't he in some prostitution scandal in Paris?
No, it was the biggest I could find : D
I'm sorry, it was the best I could do on short notice!
Robert DeNiro: Who's this?
Vinnie: This is Vinnie.
DeNiro: Vinnie, what happened?
Vinnie: Well we-...
DeNiro: You get it straightened out?
Vinnie: No, we had a problem... and uh, we tried to do everything we could.
DeNiro: What d'you mean?
Vinnie: Well, you what I mean. He didn't get reelected, and we couldn't do nothing about it. That's it.
DeNiro: What d'you mean? What d'you mean? Uh...
Vinnie: He's out. He's been voted out of office.
Vinnie: And that's it.
DeNiro: [smashing telephone] F***. Can't f*****' believe that,...
David Gregory: What happened?
DeNiro: They voted him out. They f*****' voted him out!
When it makes no sense, look for the motivation. In his case, it's his wife.
"I met him too...I actually said you are but a divot of a man arent you....he shot me the bird."
LOL - what an excellent insult.
; )
hehehe I got skills
He's an ACTOR for God's sakes. He lives in a fantasy world in LaLa land. Any one who would seriously go to an actor with no other credentials (Regan HAD the credentials) for political advice deserves what he gets (i.e., Obama)
It's good that this senile old fart is at the end of career because with his OBozo support so obvious, DeNiro is at the end of his career - in my opinion.
There is also a financial incentive here. Hollywood actors who are in the twilight of their careers or have seen failure at the box office make a desperate effort to be relevant and competitive and they know who butters their bread in hollyweird. Adhering to liberal dogma will get you invited to the right parties, connect with the right producers, participate in lucrative activities that will bring them much needed exposure and financial rewards. I don't believe that actors are ideological in the pure sense of the term. There are those that are, Matt Damon, Alec Baldwin, George Clooney come to mind. But the vast majority simply do not have the intellectual heft or the necessary intellectual framework to be ideologically driven, they simply follow the hollywood zeitgeist in the hopes that they are rewarded hence they adopt liberal viewpoints. They may simply be acting the part as liberals to achieve their goals.
Deniro sadly has left the station a long time ago.

It seems 3-D technology is everywhere these days. From 3-D films to 3-D television sets, the technology appears to be catching on as the latest entertainment craze. But you might be surprised to learn 3-D technology was pioneered in the early 1900s. The first 3-D film, The Power of Love, was shown in 1922, nearly 88 years ago. Remarkable, right?
During the years, the popularity of 3-D films has risen and fallen, and the technology behind 3-D has been refined again and again. From the white cardboard glasses with blue and red lenses to polarized lenses to no glasses needed, 3-D technology continues to evolve. But why? Why does the technology keep waxing and waning in popularity? Why does it continue to be re-worked and re-imagined?
Well, if you've seen a 3-D film in the past century, you are probably aware of two things: (1) it's fun, seeing a film in 3-D can be enormously enjoyable, and (2) it kind of hurts, your eyes and brain do not always enjoy that fun 3-D ride. Or 3-D technology did kind of hurt – advancements in 3-D technology are built around making 3-D viewing comfortable and natural, partly by re-working the technology to model how we see images.
With better 3-D technology, the why of 3-D's latest surge in popularity is not such a mystery. When you feel comfortable watching a film in 3-D, you can appreciate the feel and depth of a 3-D film. Some regard 3-D films as fads – the latest gimmick from Hollywood – but 3-D is an artistic expression of sorts. For films like Tron: Legacy, 3-D can suck you into the film, much like the main character Sam is sucked into the computer. 3-D can give the feel of immersion and heighten awareness of the world within the film. Subtle use of the technology can also strengthen a film's storytelling, such as the 2007 film Beowulf. Characters in the film gained and lost powers, which coincided with intensified or diminished 3-D effects.
But if you still are not a fan of 3-D, have no fear, there's a new product on the market just for you: 2-D glasses. Just slip them on to experience your favorite 3-D film in the glory of two dimensions. Problem solved.

BRETHREN, you are the temple of the living God; as God said, "I will live in them and move among them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Therefore come out from them, and be separate from them, says the Lord, and touch nothing unclean; then I will welcome you, and I will be a father to you, and you shall be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty."

High performance pants for bike commuters. Riding means moving, so articulation and stretch are built in. The cotton polyester blend feels great, and is treated 3XDRY® for increased water repellency and moisture transport. Banded cuffs keep pant legs out of chainrings, and tuck away reflection on the cuffs and back pockets add nighttime safety.
Urban cyclists need protection and freedom to move, and they need something that works off the bike. The Metro Tech™ twill fabric blends 60% cotton with 40% stretch polyester to combine comfort, style and stretch. For added performance, 3XDRY® technology is applied to repel water from the outside, while wicking moisture from the inside.
Another consideration is off bike performance. The design focused on riding, but the real world factored in as well. The fabric has a look similar to denim, and the reflective elements on the cuffs and pockets tuck out of site during off bike work and travel. The zippered thigh pocket is streamlined, and securely keeps a smartphone, map or wallet close at hand.

A Catering Story: The Tale Of 13 Turkeys
Posted by Jason on December 11, 2008
Thanksgiving 2008 ushered in a new era for Burnt Finger BBQ. This year we offered up our outdoor cooking skills to friends and family and wound up smoking 13 turkeys for the holiday. And as any Good Samaritan would do, we also documented the entire process to share with the world!
After conducting some recon work on the area markets, we stumbled upon a local grocer who had just received their massive pre-Thanksgiving turkey shipment. Luckily, we were able to obtain 13 turkeys that were almost exactly 14 pounds each. Once home, the birds were immediately placed into coolers filled with cold water to slowly thaw out. (Note…when thawing in a cooler, make sure the temperature stays below 40 degrees so that the meat doesn't spoil. Also be sure to change out the water daily.)

The two Emery High basketball teams are entering their final week of region 15 games with positioning for the 2012 Utah State 2-A basketball tournament still somewhat up in the air for both teams. Last week saw the Emery boys defeat Richfield 56-49 while the Lady Wildcats returned the favor and defeated the Lady Spartans 59-39.
Both teams will play their final two region contests this week. For the Lady Spartans, two victories would cement the team in second place and ensure them a home playoff game. Emery travels to Grand on Tuesday night and should return with a win against the hapless Moab team. On Saturday, Emery will host San Juan and the winner of that game will clinch second place in the region. San Juan also has a game against Grand this week.
For the Emery boy's team, two wins this week should also clinch second place for the Spartans. After pulling the upset last week, Emery is now in prime position to sneak ahead of the Wildcats for that home playoff game. Richfield is currently 4-3 but their lone remaining game is against South Sevier, a game they should lose. Emery plays San Juan and Grand in their final games and should win both of these contests. With two wins, Emery would go to 5-3 and stay ahead of Richfield. Richfield would finish at 4-4 with the loss.
Last week was huge for the Emery boys. By defeating the Richfield team, they changed their postseason future tremendously.
Emery battled Richfield hard for all four quarters before snaring the win. Emery led 11-8 after the first quarter, 27-24 at the half and then 41-32 after three quarters. Richfield tried to battle back in the final period but Emery stayed with them shot for shot to snare the much-needed win.
Dawson Jensen had his best scoring night of the season as the Emery junior scored 23 points to lead the Spartans to the win. Seniors Dallon Cologie and Jordan Cox each scored nine points for Emery, as their senior leadership was vital throughout the game.
Also scoring for the Spartans were Curtis Mason with six points, Brendan Jorgensen with five points and Logan Tuttle and Spencer Labrum with two points each.
The Emery boys now stand 3-3 in region play and 9-8 for the season.
The Richfield Lady Wildcats showed the Emery High Lady Spartans why they are ranked number one in the state in the 2-A ranks with a convincing home victory.
Emery, after losing at home 47-40 and actually had opportunities to win the previous game, was looking to tie the season series when they traveled to Richfield. Richfield had other plans. Richfield dominated the game from the start and the Spartans were shown no mercy until the final period.
Emery was down 18-7 after the first quarter and 35-14 at the half. Richfield won quarter three 19-11 to lead 54-25 entering the final quarter. Emery won that period 14-5 against the Richfield younger players.
Shooting woes continued plaguing the Spartan team. Emery shot 23 percent from the field in this game, a percentage not conducive to winning many games. They went 13 for 50 from in front of the 3-point line and two for 14 behind it. They also only shot seven for 16 at the free throw line for 44 percent.
In the Richfield game, Blayr Jeffs scored 12 points with Kim Oldroyd scoring nine points. Jeridi Price and Laurel Roundy each scored five points, Hannah Dyer scored three points, Ashlynn Allred and Cassidy Labrum each scored two points and Kelsie Cox scored one point.

Yesterday, Rapid7 announced the acquisition of Metasploit. Two other examples of an open source project being transformed into a commercial enterprise in the area of vulnerabilities, exploits, and detection signatures (all of them are closely related) come to mind – the other two that I'm thinking of Nessus/Tenable and Snort/Sourcefire. The model seems makes sense for technologies around security vulnerabilities.
In all three cases, a technology was created and a community was formed (worldwide in all three cases). The community contributed their knowledge to the project. While some of this knowledge went to the development of the software, much more went into the development of the vulnerability (or signature or exploit) libraries. Beyond the initial creation of the libraries, the community continued to contribute. Thousands of people (perhaps even larger but I don't think anyone really knows) were continually on the lookout for security vulnerabilities or new exploits. These same people then either notified the community about the issue or they created a vulnerability check, signature, or exploit and contributed it to the project. For the commercialized products, there still must be a QA/QC testing process to make sure the check/exploit/signatures works and does not cause problems when it is deployed.
Now compare that model to a really smart person (or team of people) that starts a commercial company in this same area. In order to get things going, the team must build the software and do all of the research needed to create the vulnerability checks, signatures, or exploits. That is a lot of work and given the number of products already on the market, there is a lot of catch up to do. Once the initial work has been done, the company will need to maintain an expert research team to keep creating the vulnerability checks, signatures, or exploits. The really good teams are not small – they will need people with expertise in a number of different areas – and they are not cheap. An interesting point is that many teams maintain contact with the open source communities and trade information. There are certainly examples of companies that have successfully created a product and maintained a world class team. However, there are also examples of companies trying to get started and failing.
It is hard to beat a large community when it comes to identifying potential problems (even if additional help is needed to commercialize what has been identified) so perhaps the area of vulnerabilities, exploits, and signatures is well served by the open source model. What do you think?

Western Force concluded their Super Rugby season with a win under their belt after a late Willie Ripia penalty saw off the Rebels 27-24.
The Force ended their Super Rugby season with a victory under their belt after a late Willie Ripia penalty saw off the Rebels 27-24 at AAMI Stadium.
With only pride to play for in Melbourne, both sides struggled to display a clinical edge until the hour mark, when the Rebels once again went to sleep.
Tries from David Smith and James Stannard sealed a good finish to 2011 for the visitors, who next year will miss Smith and James O'Connor.
The Rebels knew that they could not avoid the competition's wooden spoon going into this game but they will take encouragement from their debut effort in Super Rugby. Three wins were picked up in total while their shining lights came in the shape of Jarrod Saffy, Richard Kingi, Nick Phipps and vice-captain Gareth Delve.
Friday however saw the much-publicised Danny Cipriani put in the performance his side were needing as he added direction to the Rebels. Aided by the assuring figure of Stirling Mortlock, who scored the leveller on 74 minutes, the duo were unlucky to be on the losing side on Friday.
As mentioned, the game only came to life after 60 minutes as up until then the game was dominated by four penalties each from Cipriani and James Stannard.
But then came a moment that Kingi will lose sleep over tonight as he misjudged a long pass from the Force and ultimately made room for wing Smith to cross wide out. Stannard then went over just three minutes later as it looked as though the Rebels were capitulating.
It proved not to be the case though as in controversial circumstances, Mortlock got over wide on the left wing when it looked as though the Rebels had knocked on earlier in the passage. His conversion to take the lead fell short and then Ripia knocked over the winning points.
The scorers:
For Rebels:
Try: Freier, Mortlock
Con: Mortlock
Pen: Cipriani 4
For Force:
Tries: Smith, Stannard
Con: Ripia
Pen: Stannard 4, Ripia
Rebels: 15 Mark Gerrard, 14 Richard Kingi, 13 Afusipa Taumoepeau, 12 Stirling Mortlock (c), 11 Cooper Vuna, 10 Danny Cipriani, 9 Nick Phipps, 8 Gareth Delve, 7 Michael Lipman, 6 Jarrod Saffy, 5 Adam Byrnes, 4 Alister Campbell, 3 Greg Somerville, 2 Ged Robinson, 1 Nic Henderson.

A solid option for the 4.0+ level player, the Slazenger V100 Tour offers good control in a light and lively package. This fast swinging racquet is ideal for those looking to impose their will with power and spin. The firm response delivers excellent feedback so the player feels more plugged into the shot. Those who like to hit topspin will appreciate how swiftly this one whips through contact. They will also appreciate the 71 flex (RA) and open 16x19 string pattern which supply an optimally firm stringbed loaded with bite. Needless to say, from the baseline our TW playtesters found it very easy to shape the lively response with spin. At net the fast feel lends itself to quick reactions; and there is just enough mass to effectively redirect most levels of pace. The extra spin and pop available from the baseline are also there on serves where we found this one to whip very powerfully through contact. All in all this is a great option for the intermediate player in search of a responsive all-court weapon. It's also a solid choice for the advanced player who wants impressive precision and easy access to power without having to sacrifice maneuverability.

I love them!
"I would recommend going a size up in these shoes. The toe cap is low and narrow, so to avoid foot cleavage, definitely try a larger size. Otherwise, it is a beautifully made shoe. The slight entasis of the heel is similar to an Alexander McQueen shoe, which makes this shoe look even more luxurious."

Runs Small Too Tight!
"I usually wear a 7 1/2 and I could barely get these on in that size. I exchanged for a size 8 and it fit OK in the length (still a gap between heel and shoe) but was still extremely tight in the toe box. Nice shoe, love the idea of a small hidden platform and the shape and quality is great. But no amount of breaking in would make these work!"

Break them in first!
"Beautiful shoe and high quality. The toe box is a bit tight and because there's no platform, your foot slides down a bit into the tow box. I'm sure once they're broken in it will be just fine. Be sure to wear them around the house a bit before you commit to them for the day."

In the early days of magfed design, the markers were plagued with choppingthe paint would only partially seat in the chamber before the bolt came forward again, pinching the ball and chopping it in the chamber. This plagued almost every magfed designand markers with gravity-feed hoppers as welluntil we developed the Lok Bolt.
Initially available only for our award-winning T68 and the all-new 468, the Lok Bolt is now available for the Hurricane Magfed Conversion Kits as well!
The Lok-Bolt is one of the most innovative designs in the industry. It provides a purely mechanical solution to overcome that chopping phenomenon, and it works in all weatherthere are no lasers to fry, no batteries to drain, no fragile circuits to baby
The Lok Bolt is purely mechanical, and built tough enough to thrive in scenario paintball. That makes the Lok Bolt a must-have feature for military units conducting force-on-force training, and for recreational paintball players alike!

The local Veterans participated on Memorial Day in the cemeteries throughout the county. They presented flag ceremonies, a 21 gun salute and words of patriotism to those attending. At the Huntington ceremony, city councilman Gerry Livingston thanked everyone for coming. He said the scouts had put 187 flags on the graves for the Veterans in the Huntington cemetery. Livingston thanked the Veterans for the programs they present each Memorial Day.
Commander Ray Quinn thanked the Veterans who have fought in the wars and gave their all. Some perished, some were wounded and all were affected in some way. "Don't forget Old Glory and what she stands for," said Quinn. He said that Fausett's Mortuary had donated the sound system for the cemetery programs.
Gary Kofford, from Fausett Mortuary said he has followed the Veterans around to the cemeteries all morning. He said he has respected and looked up to these men his entire life and thanked them for the examples they have been and for fighting for our country. "These Veterans are the cement that holds our county together. These Veteran's go out all year long, when a Veteran passes then they are there to honor them. I wish to express my love and appreciation for all the great work they do in our community," said Kofford.
Quinn thanked those taking care of Huntington Cemetery for placing flags throughout the cemetery. Jennie Olson was on hand to recite the poem about the poppies of Flanders Field and to sell poppies to raises funds for local Veteran programs.
Quinn read the Ragged Old Flag accompanied on the guitar by Eldon Holmes. Scouts Kody Holmes, John Birch and Tex Stowe helped with the flag ceremonies in the cemeteries.
The Veterans at Huntington included: Ira Hatch, Fon Leamaster, George Wilberg, Owen Olsen, Mar Grange, Jim (James) Nelsen, Max Larsen, Bert Leamaster, Mac Sitterud and Ray Quinn.
Veterans gathering in Ferron, Molen and Castle Dale included: the honor guard from Post 42 with Major Marvin Gardner, Lou Sansevero, Mandy Price, Earl Nelson, Don Petersen, Lon DeLange, Marvin Gardner, "Red" Hess, Dennis Nelson, Kent Petersen, George Hendrickson, Clifford Snow, and Sam Singleton. Marvin is the oldest living vet in Emery County and served in three wars including WWII, Korea, and Vietnam. Singleton presented a moving tribute to Memorial Day and Veterans.
Lou Sansevero said, "On behalf of the Legionnaires of American Legion Post 42, I'd like to thank all the citizens of Emery County who joined us on Memorial Day as we honored the deceased veterans resting in the Ferron, Molen, Clawson, and Castle Dale cemeteries. For those that couldn't make it, we missed you. For anyone who maybe wondering "Why should I have attended, what's in it for me?" please read this poem by Charles M. Province, cut it out and tape it to your bathroom mirror; I think it answers both questions and may help you remember next year why you should take a few minutes out to attend and honor these deceased veterans at next year's honors and what's in it for you.
It Is The Soldier
It is the Soldier, not the minister who has given us freedom of religion. It is the Soldier, not the reporter who has given us freedom of the press. It is the Soldier, not the poet who has given us freedom of speech. It is the Soldier, not the campus organizer
who has given us freedom to protest. It is the Soldier, not the lawyer
who has given us the right to a fair trial. It is the Soldier, not the politician
who has given us the right to vote. It is the Soldier who salutes the flag,
who serves beneath the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag,
who allows the protester to burn the flag.

Unlike other screw-lock shaky heads on the market, the Reaction Strike Porky's Revenge Shaky Head 4/0 is specifically designed to allow you to Tex-pose your baits, as opposed to using the standard Texas-rig method. This means the hook has far less plastic to penetrate for quality hooksets. Designed by FLW Tour pro, Sean Hoernke (also known as the "Hoern Toad" by fellow competitors), he used the Reaction Strike Porky's Revenge Shaky Head to win two FLW Tour Titles. Equipped with a 4/0 hook, the Reaction Strike Porky's Revenge Shaky Head 4/0 is perfect for smaller diameter baits like 4-inch worms.

Comments: The key to success for a shaky head jig with a spiral shaped capture head is that it be equal to or below the hookpoint - this allows a better and more effecient hookset through soft plastics because the hook point angle is better . This Reaction Strike offering adheres to this design philosophy well plus coupled with a low profile line tie (albeit a 90 degree is less desirable than a 60 degree) comes through obstacles well and doesn't attract debris . Although the brand hook used is not listed - it is a good quality , sharp , light wire hook ideal with a 4.5 ~ 5.0 inch soft plastic worm of your choice ... I believe a 1/8 oz. size in the color of your choice will cover most of your shaky head needs - lastly you get 6 per pack which makes this a very good deal ! Thank you for the excellent design Sean - a confidence builder for sure that catches fish ...
From: Chris: Acworth , GA.
Comments: I finally found a good head, this one works!

Imagine Abraham Lincoln, the 6'4" lawyer, ducking to avoid bumping his head on the entrance of Macon Country's first courthouse built in 1829, which was the only log courthouse where Lincoln practiced law. This and other period buildings, located in the Macon County History Museum, allow visitors to travel back to different historical periods of the county. The prairie village on the museum grounds is home to such historical buildings as the log court house where Abraham Lincoln practiced in the 1830s.
A collection of Chevrolet automobiles combing various race cars, Indy 50 Pace Cars, and original unrestored vehicles, including Chevrolet memorabilia.
Arguably one of the most famous outhouses left on the planet is located in the town of Gays, IL, located just five minutes from Mattoon. The existence of outhouses in general are rare, but certainly a two-story version is a unique oddity that the small rural community of 300 has capitalized on for quite some time. Stop by anytime for this great photo opportunity!

Bryant Cottage was built in 1856 by Francis E. Bryant (1818-1889), a friend and political ally of Senator Stephen A. Douglas. According to Bryant family tradition, on the evening of July 29, 1858, Douglas and Abraham Lincoln conferred in the parlor of this house to plan the famous Lincoln-Douglas Debates. The picturesque one-story, four-room wood frame cottage has been "restored" and is interpreted as an example of a middle-class life in mid-nineteenth-century Illinois. The furniture on display is of the Renaissance Revival style, appropriate for a small-town family of the mid-nineteenth century. The cottage is accessible to persons with disabilities. The site hosts portions of a variety of locally sponsored events throughout the year.

On Nov. 17, 18, and 19 the Emery High Drama Department will present the fun, musical, Grease. The Thursday, Friday, and Saturday performances will be held in the Emery High Auditorium at 7 p.m. The admission fee is $4 for a student or child, $5 for and adult, and $25 for a family. Tickets can be purchased in advance from Emery High Drama students or at the door on the night of the performance.
This musical production is the classic school version of a love story between two high school teenagers, who have completely different personalities. The main characters are Danny, the confident leader of the Burger Boys and the sweet, but naïve, new student Sandy. The story circles around their relationship and their friendships with all the students at Rydell High School, (Class of 1959). All of the characters have very unique personalities and quirks. Grease is a witty and charming comedy with 50s rock 'n roll music from the movie and it will last two hours.
Blayke Noyes is playing Danny and Sandy will be played by Adrienne Carter. Miss Lynch is Angelica Gomes. Patty Simcox is Ashley Ruth Stilson. Craig Greenburg is the slightly confused character Eugene. Marissa Urie is Jan, and Marty is Whitney Withers. MiaBella Doria will be Rizzo. Doody is Taylor Hardman. Roger is Jeremiah Luke. Kenicke is Jordan Cox, and Taylor Weihing is Sonny. Rachel Rogers will be Frenchie. Vince Fontaine is Kalin Reynolds. Johnny Casino is Colton Clement. Cha-Cha is Brittany Fauver. Marqui Moss is the Teen Angel.
The pink Ladies will be Tia Van Wagoner, Nicole McCandless, Mariah Behling, Melece Pulli, and Marqui Moss. The Hamburger Boys are Tyler Rubio, Adam Brinkworth, Tyler Dasch, Colton Clement, Kalin Reynolds, and Dalin Walker.
The students will be played by Kennedy Byington, Ben Doria, Bryson Hales, Erica Flores, Madi Hendrickson, Mandy Davis, Jentrie Allred, Kenlyn Nielson, Jaicelyn Shakespaere, Jaden Gordon, Amanda Huntsman, and Randi Mecham. With extras the cast will number 40 people.
The play is under the direction of Neal Peacock and the music director is Marilee Cox. Choreography was created by McKette Sitterud, and credit for the technical aspects go to Josh Knighton, Tyler Fairbanks, McKlayne Moss, Jaydon Olsen and Jenny Anderson. This play has some great choreography and is well organized.
Grease will be the start of an exciting year for Emery High's Drama Department. Later on in the year they plan to perform a production called The Imaginary Invalid. This is a comedy by Moliere. After that, they expect to perform Scotts Wae Hae, The Robert Burns Story, a unique production about Scottish poet Robert Burns.
They also look forward to the drama competitions this year.
Emery High Drama also is anticipating a great Speech and Debate season this year. After a successful year with speech and debate last year they expect it will only get better, and it looks like it will be another eventful year for student drama at Emery High.

Dear Friends,
IDOU e.g. sets the Focus on the Proposition and highlights the following Information. But are there grammaticalized devices, e.g. words doing the exact opposite by making Information less important? We have some in our German language, called "Abtönungspartikel" (halt, eben, mal), but are there such devices in Greek ? An English equivalent could be *just", as in "it's just me, Darling!".
Your help is highly appreciated !

The U.S. government is offering tax credits to homeowners to buy qualifying insulated garage door. Under stimulus legislation signed by President Obama on Feb, 17, 2009, tax credits for energy-efficient home improvements, including garage door parts, have been extended and increased significantly.
That means by adding a new garage door in 2009 or 2010 can save you money! Installing insulated garage door parts can help lower your home energy consumption and costs, and will help pay for itself this year through the tax credit incentive. Tax credits are more valuable than an equivalent tax deduction because a tax credit reduces tax dollar-for-dollar, while a deduction only decreases the amount of income that is taxed.
Garage door tax credit details include:
- Alt=Garage Door Tax CreditsTax credits are available for qualifying purchases of garage doors and garage door parts that were "placed in service" from Jan. 1, 2009, through Dec. 31, 2010. Garage door and garage door parts purchased in 2008 are not eligible for the tax credit.
- The maximum tax credit that a taxpayer may claim from all qualifying garage doors and garage door parts combined is 30 percent the cost of each product and $1500 over the lifetime of the tax credit periods (2009 and 2010).
Garage Door Tax Credit Eligibility
To be eligible for the garage door tax credit, the purchased garage doors and garage door parts must meet all of the following criteria:
- The garage doors and garage door parts must be installed on a residential insulated garage door.
- The garage doors must have a U-factor equal to or less than 0.30, even if the door contains glazing.
- The garage doors perimeter must have a means to control air infiltration.
- The garage doors and garage door parts must be expected to remain in service for at least five years.
- The garage must be part of the taxpayer's principal U.S. residence.
- Dealers should provide homeowners with a Manufacturer's Certification statement and a breakdown of the material and labor costs.
Garage Door Tax Credits Calculation
Alt=Garage Door Tax Credits for Parts and Insulated DoorsThe homeowner's tax credit is based on the total material cost of the purchase, including the garage door and the garage door parts. However, the cost of installation does not qualify. The tax credit is equal to the sum of 30 percent of all qualified energy-saving improvements installed in an existing home in the calendar years of 2009 and 2010. The maximum credit is $1500.
For example, if a homeowner paid $2,500 in garage door parts for two qualified insulated garage doors, that individual would be eligible for a $750 tax credit. If the garage door parts were $1,000, the tax credit would be $300.
Good Time to Buy
The tax credit essentially gives the homeowner a 30 percent savings off the cost of the garage doors and garage door parts. If additional incentives are offered by your dealer, the savings could be even more attractive.

GarageWowNow.com is sponsored by the Door & Access Systems Manufacturers' Association (DASMA), and by the International Door Association (IDA).

By GARY ARRINGTONSports writer
Emery concluded their regular season play the same way they began it, cold, windy and with a loss. On what at best could be described as a blustery day, the visiting Carbon Dinos kept their play-off hopes alive with a 5-4 victory over the fourth-ranked Emery High Spartans. Earlier in the week, on an even windier day, Emery traveled to North Sanpete and defeated the Hawks 3-0.
Emery finished the season 17-5 and the region season 8-4 as perhaps the Spartans best year ever concluded. Emery will now travel to Uintah High School and play a fifth-place team from one of the two northern regions, probably Judge Memorial High School, in the first round of state play-offs, Saturday at noon. Judge concluded their region season winless. With a victory, Emery will then play the following Thursday at the Valley complex in Taylorsville. A loss would make the Spartans play again that day in Vernal. The softball play-offs are a true double elimination tournament.
At the conclusion of the varsity game, Emery honored the five seniors on the team who also happened to be the captains of the team. Leslee Lake, Chelsea Skinner, Bailey Kay, Jalee Jensen and Whitney Allen all played key roles in the success of this team and were models of dedication for the younger players. Leslee pitched most games while Chelsea caught most of them. Whitney caught the others. Bailey played outfield, as did Chelsea when she did not catch. Jalee was the shortstop. Whitney was also the designated hitter.
Against Carbon, Emery had their opportunities but failed to deliver the win. A controversial call at first base in the first inning prevented two runs from counting. A couple of errors in the sixth inning put Carbon runners on base just before a Dino homerun. Emery hit the ball well all game long snaring 11 base hits throughout the game but other balls hit hard were right at a defensive player.
Emery scored two runs in the first inning. After a ground out, Adriane Weihing walked, Chelsea singled, Leslee hit into a fielder's choice, Bailey singled and Whitney doubled. Candice Norton hit a hard grounder off the pitcher and was called out at first to end the inning.
Emery scored again in the third inning as Chelsea singled and Whitney doubled to score her. Carbon scored one in the fourth inning as their catcher hit a homerun.
Carbon then scored four runs in the top of the sixth inning. After a walk and a groundout, Emery allowed the next two hitters to get on base due to Emery errors and then the Carbon pitcher hit a homerun to put Carbon up 5-3. Leslee hit a homerun in the bottom of the seventh for the final margin of 5-4.
On Tuesday last week, Emery scored twice in the third inning and once more in the fifth inning to get the 3-0 win at Mount Pleasant. Chelsea singled, Leslee got on due to an error and Whitney brought them home with a double in the third inning. In the fifth inning, Adriane walked, stole second base and scored on a single by Leslee. The Hawks had only four base runners in the ball game as they garnered two walks and two singles but never in the same inning.
Emery had 11 base hits in the Carbon game led by Whitney with three. Jalee, Chelsea and Leslee each had two base hits. Emery had seven base hits in the North Sanpete game. Candice and Jalee led the way with two hits each.

Lung Disease & Respiratory Health Center
Breathing Problems: Causes, Tests, and Treatments
In this article
How Are Breathing Problems Treated?
Substances that cause breathing problem are known as triggers. Avoidance of triggers is the No. 1 way to control allergies and asthma. As an example, wearing a dust mask when doing housework or yard work may cut down on your exposure to allergy triggers. Avoiding a furry pet, washing bed linens at least once a week, staying indoors during peak pollen times, and changing the filter on your air conditioner frequently may also help prevent serious problems if you have allergies.
Medications are also important in treating breathing problems. Allergy drugs such as antihistamines and decongestants may make it easier to breathe for some people with allergies. These medications can be delivered orally or through nasal sprays.
In addition, inhaled steroids may give relief to some with chronic allergies and sinusitis. These drugs work to reduce inflammation in the airways. Allergy shots are yet another way to reduce sensitivity to allergens and may give relief to some breathing problems.
Asthma is treated with inhaled or oral drugs that help open airways and reduce the primary inflammation in the airways. These asthma medications help ease or even prevent airway obstruction and excessive mucus production. People with asthma must control inflammation in order to keep the airways open and reduce sensitivity to asthma triggers. Asthma triggers may include:
- Viral infections (cold or flu)
- Pollen
- Pet dander
- Mold spores
- Dust mites
- Cockroaches
- Irritating pollutants in the air
- Fragrances and fumes
- Smoke
- Food allergies
Even exercise can be an asthma trigger in some people.
Can Medical Intervention Help Me Manage Breathing Problems?
So often, people seek medical intervention only after they have had breathing problems for weeks to months. Often by the time the medications are started, damage has occurred that takes more time to heal.
An accurate diagnosis is important before you can treat and prevent breathing problems. Each of us is different. The specific medication and treatment program that works for a family member or friend may not be the correct one for your problem. In fact, it is difficult to really understand your respiratory problem without a clear and thorough understanding of how breathing works.
If you have symptoms of one or more of the common breathing problems discussed in this article, see your doctor for an accurate diagnosis. Write down any questions you have and seek answers. Prevention and treatment measures can dramatically help relieve and possibly end the breathing problems you experience.

Customer Reviews
Comments: Definetly need to upgrade hooks! The hooks that are provided are good but not for these swimbaits. I recommended EWG screw lock hooks so you don't tear up the plastic. Also the oil that comes on it when you open the package is very strange and I'm not a huge fan but to take care of it just spray some Strike King Coffee Scent and you're good to go!
From: Chris: MI 6/21/14
Comments: Solid swimbaits, comes In a pack of 4 and a swimbait hook per pack. These are pretty durable and worth the price. The tail is very thin and doesn't put out much thump. Overall worth the money
From: Dylan: USA
Comments: The bait its self is a pretty good bait, but the hook provided in the package is a little small. I have upgraded to a 5/0 trokar swim bait hook with a 1/8 ounce belly weight. I have found that upgrading is a must. Before the bigger hook I had multiple hits but with the smaller hook there wasn't enough hook exposed to get a quality hook set. Also when I first opened this bait it had a strange oil on it... Don't really know why the oil is necessary, but just sayin.

Australian icon and business woman Elle Macpherson launched Virgin Blueâs sophisticated new uniform23/02/2011
Designed exclusively by Australian designer Juli Grbac, the new uniform represents the first step in a series of exciting changes for Virgin Blue in 2011.
Danielle Keighery, Virgin Blue Group Executive of Corporate Communications, said the airline was redefining style in travel with their designer uniforms, enhanced levels of guest service and a new range of products and services still to be revealed.
"Our new uniforms represent the start of an exciting new future for Virgin Blue as we begin to reposition the airline in Australia over the next two years," Ms Keighery said.
"At Virgin Blue we know that our staff are our greatest asset. Today, our pilots and crew graced the catwalk with Elle Macpherson and they looked absolutely stunning.
"They will continue to be the face of our airline that so many Australians love and now they have a stylish uniform that befits the excellent service they provide."
The striking red and royal purple uniforms were the inspiration of Project Runway winner Juli Grbac, who was given the job of a lifetime when asked to design the new uniform for Virgin Blue.
"I took inspiration from the glamour of flying in the 1960s and gave it a contemporary edge to fit Virgin Blue's new brand positioning. I worked closely with Virgin Blue to create the ultimate design that would not only look sophisticated and have that wow factor, but be comfortable and of superior quality.
"To have my designs seen by millions of people every year is such an amazing opportunity and it all came to life today," Ms Grbac said.
The uniform launch was held in Australia's newest and hottest fashion precinct, Westfield Sydney.
