Which is why you never see Kickstarter campaigns relying on 90s titles or concepts or gameplay or even IP to sell games, right?

Both games have a nice learning curve. By newcomers I meant someone between the ages 15-25 not familiar with games. I can give that person a gamepad and let them play Journey for an hour and I'll be sure it will have some kind of an impact. Zelda or Diablo? That person will just focus on the fact that both games have too much colour and monsters (kids' stuff).
Yeah I thought I'd reiterate this, not that there is a US intellectual bias at all. But yeah here in the UK and most of Europe students tend to go through a more socialist phase and Ayn Rand is just unheard of, apart from around people with an interest in politics or philosophy and they mostly laugh at her.
Oh and trickle down economics does not work. We toyed with it for a good 30 years, which is plenty of time, all the signs are that the economic gap between the poor and wealthy has just gotten larger and social mobility has slowed down.
I'll try a summary of the discussion:
The big players aren't trying hard enough to push boundaries. They proabably have good reasons such as that each game is a product that has to earn money but new ideas take a couple of iterations to refine. Best you can hope for is that they realize the potential in some indie game (Narbacular Drop) and pick the idea up for a AAA game (Portal).
The indies aren't trying hard enough to push boundaries. Their resources are limitted. They try to fit into niches and mostly pickup game ideas that the big players have discarded - call it nostalgia or not - because they too have to make a product that sells. As a pitch on KS or as a product on the market. Just because Indies are small doesn't mean they don't make games to earn a living.
What's the conclusion? That videogame evolution is constrained because they are a commodity not art?
And here's something to get those rather discussing US politics back on topic:
Isn't a competitive market considered the best environment to promote innovation? What about the idea that successful competitors don't copy but originate? Could the defenders of capitalsim please explain why, when it comes to games, capitalism doesn't seem to provide what capitalists always point out as it's biggest strength?
You are blowing this issue way out of proportion.
It's not like Hollywood blockbusters, YA novels and pop music are pushing the boundaries of their respective art forms. They're all pushed by corporations who's general attitude was an always is "this shit sells so lets make more of it!"
Games are actually the best example out of this bunch where big ass corporations will take a chance from time to time. When was the last time a Hollywood studio made a step that was not the safest option possible?
That's sort of a fair statement to make - the general conception seems to be that "AAA = CoD" while "indie = SUPER INNOVATION SIMULATOR 2013" when the truth is that there are AAA groups that try to innovate or push the boundary while there are indies which copy retro platformers or Minecraft or whatever else apparently sells.
Again invention or originality isn't always great, and iteration isn't always bad. Lots of devs like to play it safe, even the indies who look at AAAs or other indies and go "Hey that thing sold copies, we should make something like that!" and away they go.
But if we break the various genres down far enough we'll find that core gameplay mechanics generally aren't changing all that much - probably the most significant change is that opaque mechanisms have (thankfully!) been depreciated, and health is being treated differently in FPS games. Otherwise any "originality" for the most part is through new IP or art, or different goals, and not through core gameplay. There are exceptions (like Portal and Minecraft) but otherwise innovations barely count or are just needless iterations without a core effect on gameplay, like Valve making us solve the same see-saw physics puzzle in almost every game.
I don't want to see more Calvin and Hobbes comics, either, because Watterson retired. He retired for a good reason - He had no more ideas - and thus to rehash the series would mean zombifying it like Jim Davis' unholy creation.
Likewise, when I hear "spiritual successor to Dungeon Keeper..." I think "aping the gameplay of Dungeon Keeper, only without the charm, humor or creativity, effectively exhuming a fetid corpse and asking us to dance with it."
I was pointing out the blatant flaw in your argument, not arguing weather more Calvin and Hobbes is good or not.
Aping the gameplay, sure, I'll give you that. But if you're arguing that the charm/humor/creativity of Dungeon Keeper is some unattainable ideal then I have to laugh in your face. In fact why would anyone even go for that again? Why not a dk-like game set on a space station? Or some other wild setting, where the tone and mood is nothing like dk. Maybe a horror dk-like. I'd like to see that. Why wouldn't you?
but Nalano, surely you've seen what brilliance can be achieved by resurrecting childhood favorites. Remember those incredible Star Wars prequels? How about Indiana Jones? The Transformers?
Okay, I'll type real slow then, so it soaks in.
Let's take Tintin, which did have a feature film made of it, as well as an animated TV series. While it made a half-decent amount of money, it was basically an attempt to rake the coals of an IP that was at best dated and at worst a laughably unreconstructed curio of a bygone era. Except in a purely financial sense, worthwhile it was not, and I'd like to believe that you rate things on more than a pure financial sense.
It'll be a hollow laugh indeed, for all you do is display your own ignorance.
Dungeon Keeper's humor was not an unattainable ideal. It was, however, an original effort, and this very much informs why it was so compelling in the first place. We already have too much referential humor to need a circle-jerk of "oh hey, remember this? We were born in the 80s, too!" If you're capable of creativity, make something new. If all you're doing is cashing in on another IP, what makes you think we care about what goes on in that head of yours?
Again, you are comparing comic books being adapted in to movies (not only is it an adaptation of a pre-existing franchise but it is adapter ACROSS MEDIUMS) with old games getting "spiritual successors" today (which stay in the same medium, and they're a NEW IP). If your argument was ending with "a new Tintin comic" then maybe this would be an apt comparison. A truly apt comparison would be a new comic book that's a spiritual successor to Tintin.
Right now your comparison just doesn't make sense because you're comparing apples and oranges. Slow enough?
There is nothing original about DK beyond the gameplay, do not kid yourself. Maybe games did not have that darkly comedic tone before but it was all over other mediums. In fact a lot of DK's designs are straight ripoffs from other properties, like this guy:
Hollow indeed...
And thank you for ignoring this part of my reply-
"Why not a dk-like game set on a space station? Or some other wild setting, where the tone and mood is nothing like dk. Maybe a horror dk-like. I'd like to see that. Why wouldn't you?"
- and proceeding with your tunnel-vision arguments. For me this is a broader thing than just games that ape old franchises. What about Project Eternity? It sure got all you Torment fans all hot and sweaty, didn't it? Is it also now the spawn of Satan because it is a "spiritual successor", even though it has very little to do with the old game? What about Planetary Annihilation? What about Star Citizen? None of them should exist because... why exactly?
Edit: replaced broken image
DK on a space station is Startopia, surely.
Was thinking that myself
It earned $10 million less than Star Trek 2009 and was $15 million cheaper. I'm sure it did worse that ST in the home market. A good profit anyway. I don't think anyone expected it to cross 50 million in the US. It's a strange property, very Eurocentric.
The movie was made only because Spielberg, Kennedy and PJ are rich as fuck and have their own production facilities. I don't think we have an equivalent in gaming, some rich dude that can fund a big budget game with a 95% bomb chance in the US just because.
It's Spielberg's most fun movie since Raiders of the Lost Ark. Can't wait for the glorious 48 fps sequel.
Oh, it did. But you might notice that I also stated that devs are rehasing the 90s because people demand it. Not always for nostalgic purposes, but as you say people liked those games... or at least thought that they did. "The Golden Age of PC Gaming" in the 90s does have nostalgic overtones, for sure, but you're right that people do genuinely like some of the things in the 90s which allegedly don't exist today (arguably most still do, and we're just rewriting history, like with the constant misuse of "non-linear design" arguments). Also I didn't specifically state that it was entirely due to nostalgia; it definitely does play a part but I didn't say it was the definitive cause.
My point was that rehasing the 90s isn't innovative, it's iterative, and since a lot of indies seem to be pitching their ideas based on "Well, this is how it was in the 90s so we're just going to do that!" the idea that they're going to save us from the allegedly repetitive AAA industry is nonsense.

Common causes of eczema are allergies secondary to digestive disorders, immune deficiencies, genetic metabolic disorders such as the inability to produce GLA-gamma linoleic acid, a key component in the structure of cell membranes and nutritional deficiencies. Eczema, also referred as atopic dermatitis, is an inflammation of the skin, usually associated with blisters, thickening, crusting, scaling and itching. There are different types of eczema depending on their causes, and where they occur on the body.
This page is my personal account of successfully healing a most severe case of eczema/psoriasis with omega-3 fatty acids, homeopathy, nutritional supplements and detoxification. Worldwide, more and more people develop psoriatic and eczematic symptoms, with the highest rate of increase observed in the developed industrialized world. My heart goes out to anyone out there who suffers from psoriasis, scleroderma, and many other painful diseases and think that there are no cures. I too believed that there was no cure. That's why I decided to share this story on my website.

March 20, 1997 - My testimonial of Healing My Lifelong Eczema With Natural Means by Shirley Lipschutz
Summary: I suffered from severe eczema, a type of atopic dermatitis with painful swelling and oozing of the skin, bleeding cracks, severe scaling, itching and burning.
When I sweated, it felt as if acid was poured all over me. I suffered miserably for 49 years from this horrible disease which totally debilitated me. No creams, potions, salves, cortisone or anything else cured my condition. It wasn't until I turned 50 that I finally discovered how to heal my skin by igniting my own internal healing force. Ironically in the process of curing my eczema my overall health and vitality improved dramatically. If you expect to find a magic bullet
cure here, you'll be disappointed. In a nutshell, I credit my healing to a combination of approach: homeopathy, natural raw food diet and juice, special oils and tea, uropathy, and herbal remedies. This is my story....
I have been suffering from eczema for 49 years, since I was one year old. My parents had taken me to dozens of dermatologists who were unsuccessful in helping me. I had never been breastfed thus I never acquired the innate immune factors from colostrum which provide protection against infection and allergies. At the time no one knew that my eczema was caused by vaccines and a severe allergy to cow milk formula.
Atopic dertatitis known as eczema is an auto-immune response to a perceived invader. And there is more and more evidence that food intolerance (as well as food allergy) effects the immune system. Some children and people have a sensitivity or intolerance to shellfish, nuts, eggs, soy and especially gluten (Gluten is a highly complex protein that occurs in four main grains: wheat, rye, barley and oats.).
Allergy or intolerance to casein (from milk and cheese) is also very common and can trigger the auto-immune reactions like skin inflammation and eczema or psoriasis. As an infant I was bottle fed cow milk formula which I believe triggered my eczema, as well as vaccination. Some people are also allergic to the Nightshades family of plants (White Potatoes, Tomatoes, Eggplants, Peppers and Tobacco).
It wasn't until I was in my thirties that I became aware that I was severely allergic to gluten and dairy products (with the exception of butter). I craved bread, cheese and milk and was very difficult for me to eliminate these foods from my diet, but I had no choice and I stopped eating these foods. I completely changed my diet. I replaced all the toxic junk foods with fresh, organically grown raw fruits, nuts and vegetable. I also added important healing oils rich in omega 3 to my daily diet.
Basic beauty begins with the glow of good health, which shines from within. The skin often mirrors the health of the whole body. A radiant clear complexion begins with proper nutrition, efficient digestion and assimilation of nutrients by the body and regular elimination.
Skin problems are a reflection of internal health and are often a reflection of overall body and blood toxicity and/or stomach problems. Almost anything that cleanses the blood or intestines will also show a result on the skin. Skin problems can also be as a result of allergies, hormone imbalances, nutrition or dehydration.
My little God Child, Sakura, was born with beautiful skin. She was not vaccinated but was only breastfed for 2 months. When her mother began feeding her cow milk infant formula, she developed eczema on her chest, arms and face and her eyebrows and eyelids were swollen and inflamed. The doctor suggested to feed the baby raw kefir (Qephor) instead of the commercial infant formula. Raw Qephor or Kefir is a natural super source of bio-available vitamins, calcium, probiotic friendly bacteria, and easily digestible proteins. After being on this wonder raw food for a couple of week, her eczema cleared entirely.
Holistic doctors warn parents that routine childhood vaccination can trigger severe eczema.
The CDC documents eczema cases attributed to vaccination. There are many published medical studies, government statistics, congressional testimonies, and other credible sources that directly contradict commonly held assumptions about vaccine safety and effectiveness.
Philip Incao, M.D. - "...routine childhood vaccinations may directly contribute to the emergence of chronic problems such as eczema, ear infections, asthma, and bowel inflammations. In this field, we regard childhood vaccinations as anything but routine; rather, we consider them in most cases to be suspect, dangerous, and worthy of exceedingly rigorous review. Generally, we try to avoid giving most vaccinations and rely instead on alternative, more natural ways of helping the child cope with what we contend are the necessary and beneficial illnesses of childhood."
As a teenager, I used to spend my vacation time in a hospital in Leiden, Holland, where nurses would coat my entire body with a strong smelling sticky black tar. The tar treatment only temporarily reduced some of the inflammation. Finally when I was 17, a doctor in Belgium gave me a prescription for cortisone pills and cream (Kenakort) which rapidly cleared my eczema as by "magic".
I thought I had finally found the "miracle cure" and was elated but totally unaware of the danger of cortisone. I continued to take this medication for 9 years to keep the eczema in check, not realizing that in the process the steroid cortisone's nasty side effects was destroying my immune system and slowly killing me.I learned that the answer is NOT steroids, topical treatments, or antihistamines!! These are only treating the SYMPTOMS and in fact, making the problem worse. I learned why elimination of the symptom is NOT the same as elimination of the disease.
The healing had to occur from the inside out because my eczema was an internal disease, a leaky gut syndrome and a toxic blood condition with skin symptoms. The reason that a skin disease like eczema can cripple a person's physical and mental aptitude is not understood by most people. Holistic doctors view eczema and psoriasis as symptoms of a "blood disease" which occurs when eliminative organs (liver, kidneys, intestines, etc.) malfunction, causing toxins to accumulate in the blood which can affect mental clarity and aptitude. The body attempts to compensate for faulty eliminative organs by excreting these toxins through the skin which is the largest eliminative organ next to the liver. In his book, Healing Psoriasis Dr. Pagano explains how build up of toxicity leads psoriatics to expel toxins through secondary systems, namely the skin.
Worldwide, more and more people develop psoriatic and eczematic symptoms, with the highest rate of increase observed in the developed industrialized world. My heart goes out to anyone out there who suffers from psoriasis, eczema, scleroderma, and many other painful diseases and think that there are no cures. I too believed that there was no cure. That's why I decided to share this story on the internet.
Treatments that are recommended by doctors and pharmaceutical companies worldwide amounts to futile attempts at mere symptom treatment instead of the trying to address the root causes of the condition. There are various creams, ointments, and UV light treatments but none of them appear to have any lasting effects on the vast majority of sufferers, and many of the remedies cause undesirable side effects.
In my little biography "A light at the end of the tunnel" I describe my struggles with years of debilitating health problems, how I overcame a lifetime of chronic diseases and addiction to prescription drugs, and how I lost 60 lbs in 3 months effortlessly. Even my eczema/psoriasis had improved over 80% with the homeopathic treatment and by switching my diet from the SAD (standard American diet) to a wholesome diet of fresh, organically grown raw fruits, vegetables, and nuts. The hardest part for me was to stay away dairy and grain products to which I had been adddicted to for years.
My skin had improved dramatically, however I continued to experience small flare-ups of this stubborn eczema in the form of a few small spots on my hands, arms, my back and my face. These spots would come and go constantly. Healing doesn't occur in a straight line upward... it fluctuates up and down as the immune system improves. I didn't worry about those ups and downs because they were mild compare to what it used to be. I understood that there is no silver magic bullet in curing eczema - it takes a combination of approach to promote the healing, to detoxify the blood and to provide the body the tools that it needs to cure itself.
In my never ending search for healing my eczema naturally I learned about uropathy and auto-immune urine therapy (UT) which has a reputation of curing some of the worst chronic diseases, including the worst of skin affections. I read several books about UT and was so impressed with the case histories of amazing cures that I hesitated no longer to try it for my own health. I practiced UT for about one year. I knew that as part of the healing process my body would begin to discard toxic residues which had built up over the years and I was aware that my eczema may reappear or get worse for a period of time as my body eliminates toxins through the skin. This process is known as a healing crisis. Some people experience mild healing crisis while others have a more intense experience. I think that I may have had a very intense healing crisis in December of 1996 when I experienced the worst case of eczema/psoriasis ever...or was it merely the result of a severe deficiency of a vital nutrient as I learned later?
At the onset of this relapse, my entire body looked like it had a second degree sunburn or radiation burn with bright red, swollen skin. The next day my entire body was covered with the raised, thickened skin of eczematous condition. Even my feet and other areas of my body which had previously remained clear were now affected. In addition, my feet and ankles had swelled up to twice their original size. To this day, I can't say for sure that this was a healing crisis brought on by uropathy or by something else.
I took these photos of my foot, myself in Feb 97. Click here to view few more photos. I regret not having taken more pictures. My ENTIRE body suffered with the same swollen, crusty, bleeding, oozing and cracked skin, from my toes to my scalp, including my face. A year or two later, I'm completely healed!
The condition was worse on my hands, arms, legs and feet where the swollen, inflamed skin caused intolerable itching and burning pains day and night preventing or disturbing my sleep. The itching became unbearable when my body would overheat and sweat during exercises or in the heat of the bed. Scratching caused bleeding and oozing of a clear/yellowish viscid fluid which would form crusts and caused massive scaling when scratched. I also developed extremely painful deep cracks on the bottom of my feet and on my hands, palms and fingers.
The skin on the rest of my body had become thick, tough, and indurated. I thought that it looked like that of an elephan's thick skin and it felt rough like sand paper to the touch. Eventually the skin of my face, throat and neck had also become swollen and felt stiff as though it was made of cardboard and glue. I wondered if I had developed scleroderma. I was constantly cold, even when covered in layers of clothing and tucked under the covers in warm room.
Only very hot baths afforded me relief from the cold, the pains and the itches and temporarily softened my skin. The hot water initially made my skin itch terribly for the first few minutes. Brushing my skin vigorously with strong nylon hair brushes (one in each hand) for a few minutes caused the itch stopped completely and afforded me total relief and relaxation. The brushing of my skin also helped removed dead skin cells and gave my lymph glands a great massage in the process. After my bath, applying comfrey salve and shea butter helped alleviate the painful dryness and itchiness. (You'll find the comfrey salve near the bottom of that website.)
I had to stop using soap of any kind. Here is what R. Lincoln Graham, M.D. writes about soap: "If soap has an excess of alkali-and most of them do-this alkali promptly unites with the delicate fatty substances secreted for the protection of the skin, and removes it, leaving the skin surface dry and harsh. Cracks then form in the skin, and dirt works into them, frequently requiring the use of even stronger soap the eradicate. This still further deepens the cracks, and so it goes, from bad to worse"
Soaking my body in Montmorillonite clay infused water was very soothing and detoxifying and cleansing to me, I had no need for soap. Occasionally I also had a colloidal oatmeal bath. After the bath, I massaged my hands and feet with castor oil mixed with calendula extract and wrapped them in plastic bags for a few hours to keep the skin and the cracks as soft as possible. Later Ialso discovered the wonders of Comfrey salve and of Shea Butter, derived from the seeds of the Karite Nut of the Mangifolia Tree in Africa, which soothe and moisturize my skin without clogging my pores.
The pain and discomfort from my swollen feet and ankles and from my painfully inflamed skin had debilitated me so that I could barely function anymore. I made every effort to avoid perspiring (which was very difficult in the hot summer days) because sweat burned my diseased skin as though pure acid was poured over it. It had become very difficult for me to do computer work or any other work. The slightest task seemed like a huge chore. Exhausted and in pain most of the time, I thought I had reached the end of my life and would die soon. I'd lie in bed for hours staring at the TV or resting.
I didn't want to seek help from a dermatologists because I knew that they would put me back on dangerous anti-inflammatory drugs such as steroids (cortisone or prednisone) and antihistamine and I knew from past experience that these would spell BAD NEWS for me in the long run. I wasn't about to interfere with my body's self cleansing and healing process by suppressing my symptoms with drugs as I had done in the past.

I learned from my son's pediatrician, Dr. Paul Fleiss, that my eczema was directly the result of blood toxicity (leaky gut syndrome) and a deficiency of essential nutrients (mainly the omega 3 oils, which are found in abundance in Marine Phytoplankton and flaxseed oil. Certain types of fat-metabolism malfunctions are more often found in patients suffering from eczema and psoriasis than in the rest of the population. Dr. Fleiss gave me a bottle of flaxssed oil and advised me to take two tablespoons of that oil everyday. (Healing is impaired and immune function decreased when there is a deficiency of omega 3 fatty acids), glyconutrients and trace minerals. Marine Phytoplankton product offers full Spectrum 72 natural ionic sea trace minerals) Dr. Fleiss is also a proponent of wholesome, organically grown, fresh, raw food diet to help promote and maintain optimum health.
I started taking 2 to 3 tablespoons of flaxoil everyday. Within 13 days of taking the flaxoil I noticed a dramatic improvement: the swelling of my feet and face had decreased, the itching was less severe, I was sleeping better and my vital heat had returned; I didn't feel so cold all the time.
I used herbal remedies as outlined in Dr. Pagano's book "Healing Psoriasis: The Natural Alternative" and I had chiropractic treatments (outlined in Dr. Pagano's book) and accupuncture to stimulate the "Chi" to help my body heal itself. Seven weeks later my overall condition had improved markedly. The swelling was completely gone, the cracks on my skin had totally disappeared, and the eczema was 70% improved
Later, after doing further research, I learned that there is no such thing as a silver magic bullet to cure eczema. In my case, it took a combination of treatments to help my body heal itself, including homeopathy, ,green juice, other omega 3 oils, Immunocal to boost glutathione, herbal tonics, VelociTea, energized microwater and glyconutrients. Daily exercise and deep breathing was also very important. The results were outstanding - I achieved a complete cure!
To detoxify my blood/lymphatic system and to help my body self-heal, I only drink energized, alkaline living water (never tap water), I take important herbal formulas, and I drink the Velocitea Holy Tea everyday. The holy tea name is taken from a widely-used medicinal herb known as Holy Thistle which has been used for hundreds of years in Europe to treat all sorts of ailments, including Itchy, flaky skin or scalp, as well as inflamed skin, dermatitis, eczema and psoriasis Everyday, I also drink daily 6 to 8 ounces of freshly cold pressed green juice of wheatgrass, parsley, cilantro, dandelion, and bitter-melon-vines juice (in season). In this green juice, I mix in one tablespoon of bee pollen, one ounce or more of fulvic minerals, 2 packet a day of glutathione precursor and one to two ounces of marine phytoplankton. Dr. Jerry Tennant, M.D.says that marine phytoplankton contains almost everything one needs to sustain life and to restore health by providing the raw materials to make new cells that function normally.
Prostaglandins, which strongly influence skin health, are the body's chemical messengers, governing many processes, including inflammation. They are not stored in the body but must be constantly synthesized from essential fatty acids (EFAs) that are taken in from the diet. The best dietary sources of EFAs include flaxseed oil, seafood and evening primrose oils.
Yet while fish and flax oils supply omega-3 fatty acids, evening primrose oil is one of nature's richest sources of an even rarer fatty acid: gamma-linolenic acid. The exceptionally high gamma-linolenic acid content of evening primrose oil makes it critical to skin health. That is because two key enzymes-Alpha6 desaturase and Alpha5 desaturase-involved in metabolizing many of the EFAs and making them useful to the skin are absent in skin itself.
However, the skin does not require either of these enzymes to convert gamma-linolenic acid into favorable compounds required for mod-erating inflammation.res the continual formation of gamma-linolenic acid from precursor compounds by the liver, and then depends on the blood for transport to the skin. Although the body can convert other EFAs into gamma-linolenic acid, it may be more beneficial to provide a constant supply of already-formed gamma-linolenic acid from evening primrose oil. That is because the body's capacity to convert the more common linoleic acid to gamma-linolenic acid decreases with age, increasing the body's requirements. Also, the activity of ?6 desaturase is inhibited by many environmental influences such as diet, stress, and aging. Thus, supplying already-formed gamma-linolenic acid enables the skin to use EFAs more efficiently to fight off disease and quell inflammation. -
How I take my oils: I mix 1 to 2 tablespoons of flaxseed oil, 1 tablespoon of black cumin oil, and one tablespoon of evening primrose oil with my fresh vegetale juiceb (it can also be mixed with 1/2 cup of cottage cheese or yogurt.) I also take borage oil to help healt the inflammation. When taken by itself, these oils do not taste good and do not assimilate well in the body. Mixed with cottage cheese or yogurt it taste good and is easily emulsified and absorbed into the body. Make sure to store the oils in the refrigerator. Do not keep the oils exposed to air or light for more than a few minutes. (Barleans recommend about one to two tablespoon of flaxoil per 100 pounds of body weight).
The role of glutathione in detoxification and prevention of radiation damage in other tissues is well-known. Low levels of glutathione GSH have been documented in many types of skin disease including: psoriasis eczema, vasculitis, etc. "In both irritant contact dermatitis and allergic contact dermatitis GSH levels fall both in the skin and the whole body." There are over 100 diseases and conditions associated with low glutathione levels. Most of the degenerative diseases of aging and the autoimmune diseases have been studied and linked to low glutathione GSH levels.
Dr. Jimmy Gutman, M.D - "Clinical evidence links low glutathione levels to the most common illnesses of our time as well as newly emerging diseases. Glutathione levels diminish as we age and many diseases normally associated with aging have been linked to glutathione deficiency."
Dr. Allan Somersall M.D - "To raise glutathione levels is to reduce premature oxidation, to quench destructive free radicals and help detoxify the poisons inside each cell when it needs to. Only Immunocal is clinically proven to do that in a safe, effective and convenient way."
Shirley: While my eczema had completely healed I continued to experience callouses and cracks on the heels of my feet. I knew it was an indication of a nutritional deficiency but I was taking all the trace minerals from the sea, the omega 3 oils, my diet was optimum now... I couldn't figure out what could be missing from my diet, until I learned about glutathione and Immunocal. After taking Immunocal for 2 months, all the cracks and callouses had disappeared!
I ran into an amazing website with all kinds of natural healing ideas. This website led me to the website that would change my life the information page on Marine phytoplankton. I had lots of internal struggles about ordering something so expensive that might not even work. I didn't order at first. Something kept telling me to order it (I now believe my angels can sometimes be very pesty!). I took the plunge. I cant even begin to tell you what I felt inside as I realized I had found my answer. Since I had been massaging every Friday my hands were horrible. I was working through the pain for the little bit of extra money it was bringing my family. My hands completely healed up within one week of drinking my daily dose of 1 oz! It was amazing! I am now massaging full time again. Its good to be back doing what I love without suffering! In addition to my miracle, I decided to try giving marine phytoplankton to my 6 year old daughter. She had been suffering from asthma and allergies for months. We could not get her to clear up. She was on prescription antihistamines and decongestants as well as a nebulizer. I went ahead and gave her ½ oz every night for threedays. She woke up on the fourth morning with no symptoms! She asks every night to take the vitamin juice.
Persimmon leaf is anti-allergic and anti-pruritic in composition; in other words, an allergy or itching preventive food. Furthermore, research has proven the therapeutic effect of persimmon leaf extract on those suffering from dermatitis. The preventive effect of persimmon leaf extract on dermatitis was dose-dependent and a continuous intake of persimmon leaf extract significantly decreased its onset and development. As well, studies have shown that supplementation of persimmon leaf improves lipid profiles and suppresses body weight gain in animals that were fed high-fat diets. It is also used topically in some beauty products to help to clarify the skin and eliminate dull and dark areas.
Persimmon has been cultivated in Japan for at least 1,000 years, where it is considered the national fruit. So it only seems natural that Japanese researchers discovered that the main flavonoid in persimmon—astragalin—inhibits the release of histamine in mice suffering from atopic dermatitis. When the mice were given persimmon extract, they exhibited fewer behavioral symptoms, such as scratching and biting their skin. There was also a reduction of serum IgE, the antibodies produced in response to an allergen. Additionally, tissue samples showed there was less inflammation and thickening of the skin. Persimmon Leaves are part of the VelociTea Detox Tea Ingredients
Formulated by Dr. Bill Miller, Ph.D. in Nutritional Science, the VelociTea tea is a unique herbal blend of safe, all-natural ingredients designed to promote healing by gently cleansing the digestive tract, detoxifying the body, improving skin condition. The "Holy Tea" name is taken from the traditional name of one of the ingredients, a widely-used medicinal herb known as Holy Thistle or Blessed Thistle, and is not intended to imply any religious significance - although grateful users who experienced remarkable health improvements after drinking Holy Tea often thank God for this gift of healing!
As time went by, the cycles of aggravation of symptoms (itching, oozing, swelling, pains etc) became less severe and of shorter duration. My healing process was very slow and tough. It takes courage, sacrifices, and lots of patience because the body needs time to heal. We are used to "quick fixes" which merely suppress symptoms and makes us worse in the long run. If you allow your body to heal itself, in time a cure is obtained on a deep level of the constitution. Its not just your skin that gets better, its the whole of you. I sleep better, I feel more relaxed, I'm happier, I have more energy and more stamina than ever before in my entire life and even when under stress I no longer experience a relapse or aggravation of my symptoms as I used to. As I edit this story today, June 1999, I consider myself nearly completely cured of my eczema.
Healing of skin disease with natural means does not happen overnight. My son Sterling had a patch of psoriasis about 2 to 3" diameter on his right shoulder. I gave him flaxoil every day for over a year and finally his psoriasis disappeared. It takes patience and persistence to cure eczema and psoriasis with flax oil --- not everyone gets results in a few weeks as I did.
My immune system is constantly fighting and when I'm overworked or under stress, small eczema patches may flare up again on my hands, fingers, or on my face for a few weeks or even a few month and then disapear again. I don't try to suppress these small outbreaks because I don't want to interfere with my immune system and with the detox process as it continues to be part of the healing process.
Constantine Hering, M.D. (1800-1880) observed that healing occurs in a consistent pattern. He described this pattern in the form of three basic laws which homeopaths can use to recognize that healing is occurring. This pattern has been recognized by acupuncturists for hundreds of years and is also used by practitioners of herbalism and other healing disciplines. Herings Law of Cure
There are many different types of manifestations of psoriasis and eczema. What they all have in common is an excessive production of skin cells in the basal skin layers of the Epidermis. The overproduction is made possible or is caused by an enormously increased area of the basal layers of the epidermis, which produce new skin cells. This increase manifest itself as an abnormal folding process in the basal layers. The sum total of this and other effects is that a psoriasis sufferers affected skin areas produce approximately 7 to 9 times as many new skin cells as normal skin. Measured in time, normal skin reproduces itself within 28 days, whereas psoriatic skin is replaced, at least as far as cell numbers are concerned, within 3 to 4 days.
Eczema -Atopic dermatitis is indicated by an itchy, fissured, thickened skin, breaks in the skin, scabbing, flaking, and crusts extension of the patches or lesions or red raised skin patches. They can grow to form larger areas. Some people have dry patches, some have weepy eczema, some have raised, red, inflamed large or small areas, some have deep painful cracks that may be bleeding or oozing. One of the worse aspects of eczema is itching and consequently, the uncontrollable urge to scratch. In my experience, scratching did not make my eczema worse. It only make my skin look worse superficially. Scratching gave me intense relief and I feel very sorry for children and animals who are prevented from scratching. I experienced the greatest relief in very hot water infused with clacium bentonite clay or kelp. Upon immersing in the hot water I experienced intense itching (the heat of the water causes a rush of blood to the skin which triggers the itch) but I quickly felt immense relief after burshing my skin vigorously for 3 minutes under the water with a stiff nylon hair brush. After the bath I applied colloidal oatmeal lotion.
Psoriasis -Plaques and silvery scales on the skin, caused by too rapid replication and pile up of skin cells mark psoriasis. The lesions can weep fluids and may form small blisters. after a few weeks. Persistence, perseverance, and patience is the name of the game here.
"I always knew that my body was capable of healing itself once proper conditions were provided. I think that homeopathy, uropathy, the raw food diet and juices, (especially wheatgrass/cilantro juice), detoxifying and nourishing tonic herbs, flaxoil and EPO, therapeutic water, and all other aspect of my program described above played an very important part in my recovery. But I think that if my deficiencies of essential fatty acids, mainly the omega 3 fatty acids , essential sugars (glyconutrients), had not been corrected, my recovery would have been nearly impossible. I also believe that bee pollen and fulvic minerals which I began taking since 2001 are playing an important role in maintaining my health and strong immune system. This is how I achieved optimum health after a lifetime of suffering"
Leaky Gut Syndromes are clinical disorders associated with increased intestinal permeability. They include inflammatory and infectious bowel diseases, chronic inflammatory arthritides. cryptogenic skin conditions like acne, psoriasis, eczema and dermatitis herpetiformis, many diseases triggered by food allergy or specific food intolerance, including eczema, urticaria, and irritable bowel syndrome, chronic fatigue syndromes [ Leaky Gut Syndrome by Leo Galland M.D.] Hyperpermeability may play a primary etiologic role in the evolution of each disease, or may be a secondary consequence of it which causes immune activation, hepatic dysfunction, and pancreatic insufficiency, creating a vicious cycle. Unless specifically investigated, the role of altered intestinal permeability in patients with Leaky Gut Syndromes often goes unrecognized.
The secret to good health lies in the friendly bacteria in the intestinal tract. Lactobacillus bacteria form a significant part of the natural intestinal flora. Large populations of this, and other lactic acid producing bacteria, regulate the levels of friendly bacteria and reduce the levels of toxic pathogens that cause ill health. The reproduction ability of the bacteria in the gut is the single most important factor in a probiotic product. The bacteria must be in their natural state and alive so that once they arrive in the gut they can multiply and produce all the sub- strains necessary to maintain a healthy intestinal flora.
Probiotics administered during pregnancy and lactation appears to promote the immune system protective potential of breast-feeding. The probiotics also protect infants against eczema during the first two years. There is a growing incidence of allergic diseases in the Western world and researchers acknowledge the need to offer primary protection to reverse the trend. The ideal source of infant nutrition to provide protection from these diseases is breast-milk. Its role, however, is elusive. Pediatricians in Finland undertook a double-blind, placebo controlled study to determine the potential for protection against allergic diseases by administering probiotics. Mothers who received probiotics during pregnancy and lactation improved their anti-inflammatory transforming growth TGF in their milk. In addition, it was shown that the risk of developing eczema during the infants first two years was significantly reduced compared with the placebo group. Researchers concluded that maternal allergies were a positive risk for eczema in the infant.
Cracked Skin at the Bottom of my Feet. (May 2012) While I managed to completely heal my lifelong eczema/psoriasis and have enjoyed a radiantly beautiful skin on my face and my body for the past 10 years, I began to experience dry leathery skin with painless deep cracks at the bottom of my feet, especially the heels and the big toe cushion. This symptom became prominent after the death of my husband, probably a result of stress and grief and I suspected it was caused by some sort of nutrient deficiency. For a long time I didn't know what I was deficient in, until I started taking 2 new nutritional products. In less than a month the cracks on my heels had healed and the skin was soft and smoothe. One of the products, the PEAK Enzymes "Without" (to be taken "without" food) are metabolic or proteolytic enzymes produced by the pancreas to repair the body and to build and restore tissue. The other product is is a powerful whole food supplement, made from the Seed, Skin and Pulp of Muscadine Grapes.

In my earlier somewhat snide notes about the very odd-looking pyramids in a 1575 Italian plan of Cairo, I completely missed the real story, noted in a comment to my post by art historian Rosamond Mack, who knows Italian Orientalist art: the sphinx has obviously — again assuming the 1575 print is an accurate representation — undergone a major sex change, as shown in the image at left.
And while the pyramids are just wildly out of proportion, Ms. Sphinx, while losing his/her/its lion body (which indeed was covered with sand at the time), has acquired not only a hairdo and breasts, but even prominent nipples as well: no ambiguity here: she's all girl. [Yes, I know Greek sphinxes were female. The sphinx at Giza isn't Greek.]
And to think, we've been arguing for years about how it lost its nose.

Fidel Edwards picked up five wickets in a devastating opening spell to stun Bangladesh in Mirpur before the hosts recovered to end the second day of the second Test against the West Indies on 204 for 7 yesterday.
After dismissing the tourists for 355, Bangladesh had no answer to Edwards's extra pace and bounce on a supposedly low and slow track and were reduced to 59 for 5 before former captain Shakib al-Hasan provided some resistance with a quick-fire 73.
Shakib's eventful 74-ball knock was brought to an end when he was deceived by the flight and turn from Devendra Bishoo and was bowled, handing the spinner his only success of the day. REUTERS

"The sea's name is inien, well and good. But what we call The Inmost Sea has its own name also in the Old Speech. Since no thing can have two true names, inien can only mean 'all the sea except the Inmost Sea'. And of course it does not mean even that, for there are seas and bays and straits beyond counting that bear names of their own. So if some Mage-Seamaster were mad enough to try to lay a spell of storm or calm over the entire ocean, his spell must say not only that word inien, but the name of every stretch and bit and part of the sea through all the Archipelago and all the Outer Reaches and beyond to where all names cease." - A Wizard of Earthsea, Ursula K. LeGuin
- A Wizard of Earthsea, Ursula K. LeGuin
Many areas of the world ocean, smaller than the five oceans, have their own names. I make no claims as to consistency of detail. Names are represented in English unless there is a well-known name that is not simply a translation, or if I feel that translating the name would have an awkward result. Of course, you are free to /msg me if you think I missed something important.

Meet your new favorite grooming tool.
Sure, it's a shedding blade, but it does so much more.
It's a simple tool you'll want to use all year long.
Modeled after a traditional shedding stone and originally designed for horses, the EquiGroomer is a safe, gentle and effective tool that removes dead, unwanted hair from horses, dogs, cats and any other animal that sheds. And unlike most grooming tools that work by reaching down through the coat and pulling the loose hair out from the base, the EquiGroomer's coarse blade works by removing the dead hair from the ends so there's no pulling on the fur or harm to the skin. Most importantly, our blade is designed to be safe no matter how much or how often you groom your pet. It simply will not damage the topcoat or remove any healthy hair. In fact, regular use of the EquiGroomer will result in a coat that's shiny, smooth and soft. We're proud to say that it has been endorsed by countless professional pet groomers, handlers and breeders.
Perfect for all types of pets
And if that isn't enough, when you groom your pet with the EquiGroomer, they won't even realize they're being groomed! To them, it will feel more like a massage, which means you'll be able to groom them more often, keep shedding hair at bay, and do something nice for your pet. It's even perfect for animals who have sensitive skin or don't like being groomed.
The EquiGroomer comes in two sizes, 9" and 5". We recommend the 2-piece set for horses which includes the 9" for the larger areas and the 5" for faces and legs. The 5" groomer is perfect for most dogs, cats, rabbits and other smaller animals.

Super 3G mobile handsets will take the lion's share of the market by 2012.
Research firm Informa predicts global handset sales will reach £1.452bn by 2012, led by sales of super 3G, next generation mobile broadband devices.

The worldwide mobile market move towards higher data-rate networks and associated handset availability has meant that by 2012, super 3G devices will become the largest selling handset type, said Informa.
Although the rate of overall worldwide mobile handset growth will slow from 2008, super 3G devices will account for 35.8% of all handset sales in 2012, up from only 1.8% in 2007, Informa said.
Informa analyst Dave McQueen said, "Whilst handset manufacturers are basing their business models on low margins and high-volume supply for basic phones and low feature phones, they are currently banking on high margins for feature rich phones, smartphones, value-added service phones and mobile broadband devices supporting super 3G and higher generations."

GREENSBORO — John Henson, the North Carolina junior forward who has missed the Tar Heels' past three games with an injured left wrist, will return today for UNC's game against Creighton in the third round of the NCAA tournament Midwest region.
It's unclear if Henson will start today for the Tar Heels, a UNC basketball spokesman said. James Michael McAdoo, a freshman forward, has started the past three game in place of Henson. McAdoo scored a career-high 17 points in the Heels' 77-58 victory against Vermont here on Friday night.

CRP Compliance Guidelines
Mississippi has more land enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) than any other state in the Southeast United States – about one-third of the Southeast's total CRP acreage to be exact.
The Farm Service Agency (FSA) wants you to be aware of the following guidelines if you have land in the CRP. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact your local FSA office BEFORE you take action, sign a contract or enter into any agreement concerning your contract acres. The following guidelines are not all the requirements of CRP contracts. Each contract has a conservation plan specific to your contract acres.
First, clear cutting CRP trees is prohibited. It is a violation of the contract and requires a full refund with interest of all payments received plus liquidated damages. If you wish to thin your CRP tree acreage, you must first file a request with the county office and receive approval. There is no payment reduction for thinning if you have received approval.
If you wish to sell or otherwise convey ownership of your land, even to family, under the CRP contract, please contact the county office prior to doing so. If the new owner does not assume the contract, the original contract holder must refund, with interest, all payments received plus liquidated damages. This is expensive! The new owners will have 60 days from the date of transfer to assume the existing contract.
The primary nesting season for the CRP is April 1 – August 15 of each year. During this time, no mowing of CRP grass is allowed. No burning is allowed during this time on CRP acreage.
CRP contracts with grass as the eligible cover CANNOT be hayed or grazed except under certain conditions and then only after it has been requested and APPROVED by FSA. DO NOT hay or graze CRP land unless you have an approval in hand to do so.
CRP approved cover cannot be destroyed for ponds/lake, house sites, roads, etc. If you plan to build anything that requires destruction of the approved cover, contact the county office BEFORE beginning the work. You MAY be eligible to buy out a portion of the contract rather than risk a contract violation.
Areas of trees destroyed by hurricanes, Southern pine beetle, tornadoes, wildfire or other reasons beyond your control are handled on a case-by-case basis. If you have any tree losses such as these, contact the county office.
Please contact the county FSA office BEFORE you sign any contracts, accept any funds or allow any work to start on your land for the construction of any of the following: new cell or communication tower, pipeline, power line or public road.

Anne Steppe of Simplicity organizers will demonstrate how to declutter your vehicle from 1 to 3 p.m. Feb. 12 at Keith Hawthorne Ford Lincoln, 7601 South Blvd.
I met Anne last year at a Femfessionals networking event and her expertise is evident. And I learned a fun fact about her: Charlotte's famous businesswoman and philanthropist Joan Zimmerman is her aunt (Anne's mother is Joan's sister).
In a press release Anne sent out, she says that Americans average more than an hour a day in their cars, with many using their vehicles as a rolling, multipurpose command center: part kitchen table, part home office and part family entertainment space.
She'll help make sense of all the loose papers, empty bottles, snack wrappers, DVDs, sports equipment and more that tend to pile up in the cars of the average active family.
Simplicity is a professional organizing company that helps clients evaluate their needs, then develops customized organizational solutions and systems.

Nearly two months into the 162 game season, this team just can't hit consistently. They win three, then lose three. They'll go scoreless for innings at a time, only to score a ton in fewer innings. Two steps forward, and then two steps back.
Today's series finale provided the best illustration of this team's flaws and shortcomings. They were shutout for the second time in three games. Friday night they collected just three hits, and failed to capitalize on three golden opportunities with runners in scoring position and less than two outs. Yesterday they rebounded, putting up five runs and leaving only four men on base. Still, players like Ryan Howard just have not been able to hit regularly. Howard struck out three times on Friday night, and twice yesterday.
Today they faced Josh Beckett, an old nemesis of sorts from his days as a Florida Marlin, and even in interleague play when Beckett was with the Red Sox. He took advantage of impatient Phillie hitters this afternoon. Beckett through 24 pitches in the first inning, but settled in from there. The Phillies helped him out by swinging at pitches early in the count, keeping his pitch count down. He would finish the day with 128 pitches, good enough for his first career no hit, no run game.
A.J. Burnett started today for the Phillies, and did not have his best game. Second baseman Dee Gordon has been a thorn in the Phillies' side all series, and he led off today's game with another single, followed by a stolen base. He would reach third and eventually score on a double by first baseman Adrian Gonzalez for a 1-0 Dodger lead. Third baseman Josh Turner led off the second with a solo home run against Burnett, making it a 2-0 Los Angeles lead. That is all Beckett would really need, but the Dodgers would tack on four more runs as the afternoon went on.
Beckett did walk three Phillies on the day, but also struck out six. The later innings were especially dismal for the Phillies, as they were retired 1,2,3 in both the seventh and eighth. The ninth inning saw Beckett get Tony Gwynn, Jr. to pop out, followed by a Ben Revere ground out on the first pitch he saw. Jimmy Rollins was able to work a two out walk, and took second on defensive indifference.
The last batter was Chase Utley, who worked a full count. Beckett's 128th and final pitch of the day was a tad low, but home plate umpire Brian Knight deemed it too close to take and called strike three. Beckett's final line was 9 IP, 0 H, 3 BB, 6 K.
It was the first time the Phillies were no-hit in Philadelphia since 1969 when Bill Stoneman of the Montreal Expos held them hitless at Connie Mack Stadium. The last time the Phillies were no-hit overall for nine innings was in 1978 when Bob Forsch did it for the Cardinals in St. Louis.
A.J. Burnett wound up going seven innings and allowed 11 hits and four earned runs. He let the game get away as he progressed, allowing Beckett to relax a little more with a six run lead to work with.
If nothing else, the silver lining to this game might be a loud wake up call for the Phillies. Let's face facts, NO ONE ever wants to get no-hit. Though they tipped their cap to the opponent on this day, they should be embarrassed and very dissatisfied with how they played today and how they've been playing all season offensively. An experience like this can humble players, and also light a fire under their behind.
The usually stoic Ryne Sandberg should be a bit more animated and upset after this series, and the man of few words needs to have an earful for his players moving forward.
Or else, they just might go hitless again…and again.

The Government is to launch a new website to try and name and shame doctors who have poor rates of dementia diagnosis, The Independent has learnt.
Under the plans people will be able to put in their postcode and see how good dementia diagnosis is their local area.
The website is also designed to show how good individual local authorities are at providing services to dementia patients such as memory clinics.
But critics accused the Government of passing the blame on to local doctors and politicians for failures in dementia care – rather than providing the resources to address the problem – which ministers claim is a priority for them.
Liz Kendall MP, Labour's Shadow Minister for Care and Older People said: "If David Cameron was serious about improving the quality of dementia care, he would not have cut council budgets for older people's social care to the bone.
"And if Jeremy Hunt was serious about improving transparency, he would be publishing how many 15 minute home visits there are in each area, and how many people with dementia have unnecessarily ended up in hospital or having to go into a care home because they can't get the help they need to stay living in their own homes.
"Dementia is indeed one of the biggest challenges facing this country - but under David Cameron's watch care for people with dementia is getting worse not better."

A great idea for craft room storage! It's an old dresser with the drawers removed, and replaced with 98 cent plastic Sterilite shoe boxes from Walmart. Each one is labeled in the front. On top is a frame from a thrift store with metal in it, used for storing small takeout cups filled with beads, screws, etc. They are stuck onto the metal with magnets.

Slightly pathetic, but still precious to me...
Ok, so because our economy is currently in such a state of stability and prosperity, my hard working employer doesn't quite have enough work for me, and I've been cut back to 20 hours a week. I love my job (and am not totally convinced I could even find another one...it's bad out there!), so I am willing to make the sacrifice and spend 2 days a week doing whatever I can find to occupy my time. Usually this includes hanging out with my s.a.h.m. friends, meeting people for lunch, catching up on housework, and studying. But sometimes...I get bored.

The four-legged pot scrubber
Let's say you've had a long day of work. You get home, actually manage to cook dinner, (a rare accomplishment) and after enjoying said dinner, you are wiped out. Your husband, who is usually a champ about helping with the dishes, has fled to CVS to fill a prescription for steroids since he has a raging case of poison ivy. What's a girl to do?
Enter Jersey, the four legged pot scrubber. Simply place a dirty pot on the floor, wait 10 minutes, and voila! She'll have it spotless.
What Dustin doesn't know won't hurt him. And YES, I did wash the pot myself afterward, making sure to sterilize it well.
But it sure was nice to not have to scrub it!

And we're back.
Life over the past six weeks just did not include time for blogging. A few reasons: (and by the way that is incorrect grammar...I recently learned that anything to the left of a colon must be a complete sentence.)
1. Job. Oh wow. I absolutely love it. But it absolutely wears me out.
2. Houston. Texas is awesome. Everything really is bigger....
3. Friends. I do think it's better,when possible, to actually spend time with people face to face.
4. My Animals. Good thing I love them because they destroy EVERYTHING.
5. Therapy. Enough said.
This past weekend was almost a rebirth for me. I finally had some time off from work, spent time with my family, and sat still for a few moments. Mom was in town and we had the best time! In classic form, she brought about 20lbs of fresh veggies from her farmer's market. On Saturday we had a feast! Some wonderful friends came over to help us eat, and everyone had a great time.
But there were two empty chairs (sniff, sniff).

Finding the best male enhancement supplements is not an easy task. The reality is that there isn't just one supplement that is going to be better than the rest for everyone. You have to look at the different products that are on the market and find the best supplement for you. Male enhancement products are all created differently. If you take the time to explore what is out there, it will be much easier for you to get what you need and find safe, effective products to work with. You can't just buy something that says it works, after all.
First and foremost, you should talk to your doctor about your sexual health and make sure that these types of supplements are safe to use. The last thing that you want is to use a male enhancement product and then end up at your doctor's office or in the emergency room because of a serious or even embarrassing side effect or adverse reaction. If you have the conversation first, you'll save face in the end. When you are getting information about these products, you have to be careful of where you get it from. Besides your doctor, there are a lot of useful resources online to choose from.
The the best male enhancement supplements will be the ones that give you information about their ingredients and how they work, and that have a very low risk of side effects or adverse reactions. If a product is more focused on selling itself than telling you what it actually can do or giving you the facts, you will want to be cautious because the company obviously has something to hide. Every single manufacturer is going to tell you that their supplement is the best. It is going to be up to you to get the facts and prove them right (or wrong).
Everyone wants the best male enhancement, but so many people don't realize that it takes a little bit of effort to find it. These supplements aren't FDA-regulated, so you can't trust everything by default. You have to do a little research and be aware of what you are dealing with before you invest in any product like this. If you can find an enhancement supplement that is safe, effective, and worth your money, it might be worth a shot. However, you've got to be willing to look for it if you want any chance of success at all.

Three relief appearances into his professional baseball career, former Lawrence High left-hander Albert Minnis has a 2-0 record with a 2.08 earned-run average for the Tri-City ValleyCats, the Houston Astros affiliate in the short-season New York-Penn League.
Minnis has pitched 41⁄3 innings and allowed three hits. He has not walked a batter and has four strikeouts.
Hitters in the Class-A South Atlantic League are having a tough time making solid contact against former Free State High left-hander Cody Kukuk (.156 batting average against), but are finding another way to get on base. Kukuk, a seventh-round draft choice of the Boston Red Sox in 2011, is 4-7 with a 4.21 ERA and has 50 walks and 52 strikeouts in 511⁄3 innings for the Greenville Drive.
Kukuk tossed five no-hit, shutout innings Saturday, walked seven and struck out five. In his past three starts covering 132⁄3 innings, Kukuk has allowed three hits with 16 walks and 16 strikeouts.
Former Firebirds and Kansas University infielder Robby Price got off to a rough start for the Montgomery Biscuits, the Tampa Bay Rays Double-A affilate in the Southern League, but has heated up of late. Price has a .284 batting average in the month of June, bringing his season average to .232 and had more walks (26) than strikeouts (24).
