I had no intention of ever writing anything ever again whatsoever about Prometheus, or even mentioning the movie ever again in my life, but I just read two great pieces about it, so can't resist sending attention to them. (One links to the other, in fact.)
First, Elaine Costello's amazingly rich, provocative, nuanced, thoughtful, beautiful stream-of-theoryness wonderings about the film — about its economies and genders and races and religions, its unsaid saids and said unsaids. ("...which reminded me that the spaceship is a military-industrial [and so imperial-colonial] apparatus...") Here's just a tiny taste of an extraordinary tapestry:
What I wonder about is this: if David really can be read as an anti-colonial and anti-corporate saboteur, why does this progressive message, this transgressive messenger, still have to wear the most Aryan body imaginable? I'm aware that casting an actor of color as the android character would have made the slippages that David animates, between subordinate-saboteur, product-producer, and particularly colonial-colonized, perhaps more difficult to represent. (Though not necessarily; you can have Idris Elba imitating Peter O'Toole, why not? I would have watched the hell out of that, actually, can you imagine how fucked up and interesting that would be, the commentaries you could make on the reversal of racial drag, etc.) What I'm trying to say is that it is still impossible for mainstream Hollywood film to imagine a person of color in a role as potentially complex and subversive as David's. A character of color who could be plotting to destroy the imperial-corporate complex he was created within, and is forced to work for? That would be too radical. Which is to say, that would be too real.Subashini at The Blog of Disquiet picks up on some of Costello's ideas, and others, offering particularly interesting interpretations of the movie's use of body horror, its apparent nihilism, and Idris Elba as the One Black Dude:
Idris Elba once said himself, "Imagine a film such as Inception with an entire cast of black people – do you think it would be successful? Would people watch it? But no one questions the fact that everyone's white. That's what we have to change."
I do think that having acrimonious feelings towards the film is the actual point—the film seems to be a stand-in for a certain segment of humanity and its imperialist, ruinous ambitions, though like most films coming out of Hollywood this seems to coexist with its appreciation of capital, technology, and involuntary/reproductive labour. That in itself doesn't make it inherently unlikeable, not at all. But as Susan Sontag wrote in "The Imagination of Disaster," "Science fiction films invite a dispassionate, aesthetic view of destruction and violence—a technological view," and perhaps it's the nihilist technological determinism of Prometheus that is inherently unsettling. Perhaps it's this utter lack of meaning in the movie that is its meaning, and consequently the source of my loathing. Maybe a part of me just wants machines and people to get along? I'm not sure.

All of your comments will be helpful to conference organisers, but only a few actually addressed the original question, Why can't it wait until the end of the presentation? Who truly benefits from tweeting 'live' rather than when the speaker has finished?
- Most of us have to work, look after a family, etc, and we read tweets later in the day. How many people sit glued to their computer reading hashtag tweets 'live'? (If you do - Get A Life!) There is no need to tweet during the lecture. Doing it later is fine for your readers, and it is more courteous to the speaker. [Judy's response: Like you, I have to read the tweets later. That's actually an advantage, because hashtag tweets make more of an impression on me when I read them in a batch.]
- Helen said, 'I tweet because I am usually too busy to tweet after the presentation' - but Helen always writes a descriptive blog post afterwards, which contradicts her claim that she needs to tweet live.
- Every time I've given a talk at which people were using phones or computers, one of those people has put their hand up during Question Time and asked a question that I'd answered in my talk (while they weren't listening). It is demoralising and infuriating. [Judy's response: I totally agree. This has happened to me too.]
- We recently paid for an employee to attend a conference. We decided never to waste the company's money that way again, because we discovered that he had been tweeting instead of paying attention.
- I like the NGS social media policy except I would prefer to exclude the word 'summarise' as I think that gives a bit too much freedom.
- The social media policy should be part of registration and include 'no photographing of people's overheads' and the fact that attendance at the conference may mean your photograph could be taken and uploaded to the web as part of a blog or used in publicity.
- I use a phone because I think that is less distracting than using a computer. I also think that anyone who chooses to tweet etc should sit over to one side so less of a distraction. [Judy's response: As a speaker, I say 'Not in the front row, please!']
- Using a phone while the presenter is talking is just plain RUDE. If this is what Twitter is about, count me out! Good manners will never go out of fashion.
- I would prefer to be told to have my phone on silent and to be reminded that texting or tweeting during the conference is VERY bad manners.
- Not many people can multitask well enough to concentrate on the speaker and look at a phone at the same time.
- As a speaker, I hate it when the audience uses phones or computers. Am I boring them? Are their emails more interesting than my topic? They are not looking at my slides, so why did I bother?
What do you think? This is your chance to help shape the policies of future genealogy conferences. If you do not want to comment publicly, select 'Anonymous' or email me privately at the address in the sidebar. But as I said... the comments above do not necessarily reflect my own personal point of view, so please don't shoot the messenger!

Many of your personal stories contain family members which are mentioned from time to time. Some have their individual stories while others may play minor rolls for now. You may have referenced a particular grandmother or favorite uncle often. Have you clearly stated which grandmother or uncle? Do you find yourself repeating the connection in other stories? Are there relatives you have not mentioned?
This may be the perfect time to create a family directory to clarify who's who and to ensure everyone has at least some small part in your memoirs.
This directory can include each member of your immediate family as well as your aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents. You may choose to go back as far as you can with family members, even if you do not write stories about every individual.
Write a short paragraph for each person, recording their occupation, interests, and hobbies. Include their relationship to you and to other family members (i.e., the wife or husband of…). Give any dates of birth, death, burial, and marriage as well as the location of each where possible. In what town or part of a town did they resided or, if living, where?
You may wish to add something personal regarding your relationship with each person. This could be how close you were, what you remember most, what traditional activity you did with them.
No doubt this can be a writing that is continuous as you may wish to add more ancestors or to include new family members added through birth or marriage.
Consider placing this directory in the back of your compiled stories or as an appendix.

Hacking. It means a lot of different things to different people, and to the public at large it conjures up imagery of evil people in exotic places. When we talk about hacking here at Android Central, we usually mean it in its original sense — tearing into software (or hardware) and changing things until they fit our liking. That's the good kind, and what we're going to talk about now.
Android hacking covers a lot of bases, from small but interesting things like changing statusbar icons and colors, to giant projects like custom-built AOSP ROMs, to super-geeky things like enabling the hidden FM Radio. Most of the time installing and using any of these hacks will require your phone be rooted, and may even require a custom recovery designed to flash files that haven't been signed by the phone's manufacturer. It can be complicated, and it pretty much voids any warranty that may be left on the device you're hacking away at.
All these hacks you read and hear about are also usually pretty device-specific. You'll not want to try things designed for the Nexus 6 on your Galaxy S6 for example, or even the Nexus 6P. This is where a little research and a lot of reading becomes necessary so you have a handle on what you're doing before you do it. Armed with a little knowledge you sure can have a blast hacking away at your Android phone or tablet.
But we'd be remiss in not mentioning the bad hacking. You know what it is. You should know when to avoid it.There are gray areas, to be sure, and we're not going to get overly preachy here. If it doesn't feel right, it probably isn't. Remember that real people work real hard on apps and hardware. Just sayin'.
Either way, you don't want to go it alone. We'll tell you about the hacks and modifications here at Android Central, and the forums are full of people just like you and me who love our Android phones, and want to explore more about them. Use them, and we can all hack together.

Report: 25 Percent Of Search Clicks Now From Mobile Devices
The Search Agency has released its "State of Paid Search Report" for Q4 2012. It follows similar reports from Marin Software, IgnitionOne, RKG and Kenshoo and contains a range of data based on US client campaigns.
Overall The Search Agency observed that paid search is experiencing a "healthy growth rate." Impressions, CPCs and paid clicks all grew in Q4. But, consistent with findings in other reports, the share of searches generated by smartphones and tablets grew significantly in Q4.
Unlike some other reports The Search Agency says these did not come at the expense of the PC:
Desktops computer searches remained level from Q3 2012 to Q4 2012, while mobile experienced an increase in search share. This demonstrates the industry's steady growth and good health.
While mobile growth outpaced search on the PC overall, Google was the primary beneficiary of much of that activity. According to the report, Google saw 25.9 percent of total paid clicks coming from tablets and smartphones in Q4. That compared with 12.6 percent for Bing.
The firm says that CPCs are still quite a bit lower on tablets and smartphones than they are on the PC. Echoing the reports from Marin and IgnitionOne, The Search Agency reports that growth of tablet spending and CPCs is outpacing smartphones. Indeed smartphone CPC prices have declined from a year ago.
This is likely due to the challenges of measuring mobile ROI and marketers' limited and often myopic thinking about the subject.
In Q4 just under 25 percent of search clicks were coming from non-PC devices. That's a fairly dramatic increase from a year ago, when it was less than 13 percent. Tablet share has grown faster than smartphone share. And Q1 2013 may see a further acceleration of tablet impression and click share.
The report also features data on Product Listing Ads and paid search trends by vertical. The full report is available on the Search Agency site.
We're listening.

This is an excerpt from the Aquatic Fitness Professional Manual-6th Edition by the Aquatic Exercise Association.
The function of the skeletal system is to give rigidity and form to the body. Your basic body shape is genetically determined in large part by your bone structure. If we had no bones we would be a mass of flesh and organs resembling a jellyfish. The skeletal system provides our bodies with support, protection, and shape. The rib cage and scapula protect vital organs like the lungs, kidneys, and liver found in the thoracic cavity of the body. The skull bones in the head surround and house the brain. Bones also provide the body with leverage, something essential to movement. In addition to providing structure, the bones manufacture red blood cells and store minerals.
The Skeletal System
The skeletal system is comprised of all the bones in the body as well as their associated cartilage and joints. We will focus on the primary or major bones in the body associated with gross movements.
Classification of Bones
Bones are divided into four basic types or classifications (figure 2.1, a-b on page 20).Bone classification is based primarily on the shape of the bone. Long bones are longer than they are wide and are primarily found in the appendages (arms and legs). Long bones include the femur, tibia, fibula, radius, ulna, and humerus. Long bones are slightly curved for strength and designed to absorb stress at several points. They consist of a long, thin part called the diaphysis, or shaft, and two bulbous-type ends called the epiphysis.
Short bones are basically cube shaped and are about as wide as they are long. Examples are the bones found in the wrist and ankle.
Flat bones are thin and generally flat. They offer considerable protection and a great deal of surface area for muscles to attach. Examples of flat bones are the cranial bones, which protect the brain, and the scapula (shoulder blade).
Irregular bones include many of the bones that do not fall into the other three categories. They have complex shapes and include bones like the vertebrae.
Structural Composition of Bone
A bone is made of many parts, with the proportions of each part depending on the size and shape of the bone. Generally, bones are composed of spongy and compact bone, periosteum and endosteum, and a medullary cavity (figure 2.2). The periosteum is a dense, white, fibrous sheath that covers the surface of the bone and is where muscles and tendons attach. The medullary cavity of the bone is a cavity in the center of the bone filled with yellow, fatty marrow. The endosteum is the layer of cells that line the medullary cavity. The rigid part of the bone is made of spongy and compact bone. The spongy bone is less dense and contains spaces so blood vessels and other nutrients can be supplied to the bone. The compact part of the bone contains few spaces and provides protection and strength.
Bones are divided into four basic types or classifications (figure 2.1, a-b on page 20). Bone classification is based primarily on the shape of the bone. Long bones are longer than they are wide and are primarily found in the appendages (arms and legs).
Long bones include the femur, tibia, fibula, radius, ulna, and humerus. Long bones are slightly curved for strength and designed to absorb stress at several points. They consist of a long, thin part called the diaphysis, or shaft, and two bulbous-type ends called the epiphysis.
The process through which bone grows in the body is called ossification. Bones, in particular long bones, have cartilaginous growth plates located at either end called epiphyseal plates. Initially, these plates are not completely hardened and are where growth occurs in the bone. These fragile growth plates can be damaged in growing children or teens and affect bone development. As a person matures, the epiphyseal plates harden, and growth stops between the ages of 21 and 25.
Children have large amounts of organic material in their bones, making their bones softer and more pliable. As we age, we have larger proportions of inorganic material, which causes bones to become brittle and more fragile. The structures in bones are in a continuous state of being built up and broken down. When exercise is combined with adequate rest and nutrition, healthy bones become thicker and stronger. Exercise helps build and promote healthy bone tissue and reduces the risk of bone disease such as osteoporosis.
The human skeleton consists of 206 bones and is divided into two parts: the axial skeleton and the appendicular skeleton. The axial skeleton consists of the bones found around the axis (the imaginary midline of the body) and includes the skull, vertebral column, sternum, and ribs. The appendicular skeleton refers to the bones associated with the appendages and includes the bones in the arms, shoulders, legs, and hips (figure 2.3).
An articulation (joint) is the point of contact between bones or cartilage and bones. Joints are classified as immovable, slightly movable, or freely movable. The amount of movement possible at a joint depends on the way in which the bones fit together, the tightness of the tissue that surrounds the joints and the position of ligaments, muscles, and tendons. Ligaments are dense, regular, connective tissue that attach bone to bone at movable joints and help to protect the joint from dislocation.
The vertebral column, or backbone of the human skeleton, is typically made up of 26 bones called vertebrae (figure 2.4 on page 22). These vertebrae are divided into five sections. The part of the vertebral column found in the neck is called the cervical spine and contains seven smaller vertebrae. The part of the vertebral column found behind the rib cage is called the thoracic spine and consists of 12 midsized vertebrae. The lower back area of the vertebral column is called the lumbar spine and consists of five large vertebrae. Below the lumbar spine is the sacrum, which is one bone made up of five fused sacral vertebrae. The coccyx, or tailbone, is made up of four vertebrae fused into one or two bones.
A fibrocartilaginous tissue, called an intervertebral disc, is found between each vertebra. This tissue can be injured through trauma or overuse, especially in the weight-bearing lumbar area or in the delicate cervical area of the spine. Disc problems are not as common in the thoracic area because of the support and stability the ribs provide the vertebral column in this region.

Hi everyone! This time of the year I really appreciate being a Melbourne girl. We are so blessed to have the Australian Open. The positive vibe and relaxed energy throughout the 2 weeks is as good as a tropical holiday.
Since I was a young girl I would get a ground pass on the first couple of days of the Open and enjoy the amazing weather while hopping between courts. I can still remember being introduced to a very young Rafael Nadal on court 13, he stood out like a sore thumb back then.
Today I wanted to share some fun looks to wear to the tennis. The Australian Open is a casual event, especially during the day. I suggest if you have a ground pass to wear something that doesn't leave too many awkward tan lines. I think it is nice to dress up a little for a night centre court match. I have styled some tennis looks below for both ground passes and night matches. Remember, you can't leave the house without sunblock and sunglasses.
I have also selected some celebrities spotted in the crowd at both Wimbledon and the Australian Open. You will notice that the Wimbledon dress code is a lot more traditional than the Australian Open.

Mayor Coleen J. Seng today presented the Mayor's Award of Excellence for July to Lincoln Police Department Investigator John Donahue. The monthly award recognizes City employees who consistently provide exemplary service and work that demonstrates personal commitment to the City. The award was presented at the beginning of today's City Council meeting.
Donahue joined the Lincoln Police Department in 1986 and is now in the Central Investigations Division. He was nominated in the category of productivity by Sergeant Larry Barksdale. Donahue earned a bachelor's degree in criminal justice before becoming a police officer. He received an associate of arts degree in computer science in May 2001 and a master's degree in forensic science in May 2003. He used his knowledge to create a computer CD, which is used for evaluating candidates for positions as crime scene investigators. Barksdale said the new system is more equitable and streamlined and has saved the City thousands of dollars in testing.
"Investigator Donahue has exceptionally demonstrated the value of education to the betterment of his employer, the City of Lincoln, and to the community of Lincoln," wrote Barksdale in his nomination. "Investigator Donahue has taken it upon himself to learn how to apply computer-assisted drawing and digital cameras to investigative work, to keep up-to-date on technological developments and forensic applications, and to bring those skills and knowledge to the police personnel.

Eric Church Enraged by Ticket Brokers Scalping His Concert Tickets
Eric Church has never been one to hoist up the cost of his concert tickets to pad his pockets. In fact, he says that goes against his entire philosophy as an artist, as his goal has always been to get more people to his shows rather than more money per ticket sale. With this mentality, then, it's not surprising that the Grammy-nominated singer is so peeved about what's been happening at shows all along his Blood, Sweat and Beers Tour. Church has some choice words for the big ticket brokers that have been purchasing his tickets and scalping them to fans.
"Scalpers piss me off," he told Billboard.com. "I've never encountered this in my life, we've never been at this level and, quite frankly, we were unprepared … We tried to make our tickets very accessible to fans, we kept the ticket prices low. What we didn't count on was all these big ticket brokers would join our fan club, infiltrate our system, take advantage of our system and buy up all these tickets."
Now, Church says, even when huge venues sell out, hundreds of seats will sit empty because his camp doesn't have access to any of the remaining tickets, and scalpers ask up to $400 apiece. "It penalizes the fans," says the artist, who used to reserve the best seats and make them affordable to his fan club. "That was gonna be their pit ticket, their front row ticket."
Though Church has been fighting to get over this irritating hurdle, the process has been just that: a fight. And he says he's not about to raise his ticket prices just to make it harder on the brokers because, again, his fans would bear the brunt of that decision.
"The down side is, the lower your ticket prices are, the more these ticket brokers can buy up, infiltrate your system, the more money they have to work with and the more they can mark it up," he says. "We've been trying to play that game of keeping their access away on the back half of the tour, and it's still a challenge. They are just some slimy sons of b—-es."
Church will continue on his tour with Brantley Gilbert as his supporting act Feb. 16 in Greenville, S.C., but first he'll be making a stop at the Grammy Awards this weekend to see if his chart-topping record 'Chief' takes home the award for Best Country Album.

You guys are not going to believe this!!! The Raw Food World TV Show was BANNED from YouTube!!! Check this video out!... and... learn how to make coconut keifer ;-)

I suspect that either TheCookedFoodWorldtvShow was jealous of your videos and complained or the wild & feral Daniel Vitalis prowled out of the forest last night (it was a blue moon on New Year's Eve, you know) and chewed the specific electrical wires connecting your videos to YouTube. I hope everything gets cleared up lickety split! Happy New Year!

I freaked when I saw your account suspended. I knew that you posted on your blog too, but I freaked for a second. Hope it all works out. Maybe you need some disclaimer if your titles of curing things with raw food is the problem. Happy New Year!

Codex Alimentarious went into effect Dec. 31 2009, and your account goes off the same time, Hmm.
Angela for your bumps on your scalp, I would suggest the dry/steam sauna, where you build up to 6 hours in one day, adding a half hour a day, that can bring out sunburns, x-rays, tar from cigarettes, and toxins. and if you could combine that with the IR sauna and Hyperbaric chamber, or Ozone sauna, that would be nice. Because 6 hours can be rough.

Matt - so sorry to hear about this. Found the following online - might be helpful for you in recovering your content.
Sorry to hear about your troubles with YouTube. However, if you have lost any of your videos and would like to re-download them, they are still on YouTube's server.
Here is your video on Gmail Canned Responses Increase
Banned: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cscje9LJUjw
Available: http://www.youtube.com/v/Cscje9LJUjw
You just do a little presto-chango on the URL and they're there.
I found this little tip on another blog (not related to me) at: http://www.reelseo.com/watch-banned-blocked-youtube-videos/
I hope that helps and you can get your account back.

Could it possibly be because you had the word breastfeeding in a previous title? Crazy if that's the reason though. So sorry for you. What a pain!
- January 1, 2010 at 9:06 PM
I was so sad to see the site was gone! I wonder if it might have to do with your "super deal" videos, where you showcase products?
Regardless, I'm approaching one month 60% raw and have you two to thank for it. You are a blessing, and I will be following you guys wherever you wind up posting!
Good luck!
- January 1, 2010 at 9:21 PM
That totally bites that they banned you from You Tube. Don't react until you get a sane answer as to the reasoning. I'd want to know the policies required to be met by people posting You Tube Videos. If you're using it for financial gain, is there a limit to the number of videos you can post? That's my gut reaction, but again, it's best not to jump to conclusions until you know for certain. I hope someone who is level headed can get back to you in a timely manner. Good luck, and don't be sad! This is just a bump in the road...

Matt, congratulations on being in second place in the Best Raw Outreach of 2009. The more 'famous' you become, the more people (all people, not just raw friends) will be reading you. Drs. T. Colin Campbell (Cornell) and Caldwell Esselstyn (Cleveland Clinic) are so successful with reversing and curing heart disease and cancer with a plant-based diet that they are not 'allowed' to doctor Joe Innocent who walks into the clinics there. Joe gets the triple bypass surgeries and drugs. Only the sr. doctors and trustees can learn Campbell & Esselstyn's drug and operation free protocols. Is there a coincidence? They say that we need to become revolutionaries in order to allow things that work to be given to the common persons. Dr. Flora at www.rawdoctors.com.
- January 1, 2010 at 11:27 PM
So totally silly. Just search Doctor Diane and her Cannabis infused olive oil that she refers to as "medicine" on youtube. The people in that video look so unhealthy. Keep me away from their "cure" please. I'll stick with you folks living in the City of Light!
- January 1, 2010 at 11:48 PM
Oh... we love you both!

Congratulations on your honors in the Best of Raw!!! You are CLEARLY doing a LOT of good!
I am so sorry to hear that you were banned from YouTube.....
Indeed, you are not a victim.
I have been around the sun many times, and in my experience, EVERYTHING which appears adverse can be met and transformed into something even better.
Let's all envision the very highest, most accessible way that this information can be presented. And upspiral the whole thing.
For sure find out from them why they did that.
I heard that Codex Alimentarius did not go into effect on Dec 31,2010.
Fear is a very low vibrational energy. Low vibration slows manifestation. Let's not go there.
Probably a disclaimer would be a good idea.
I encourage you to continue to be controversial. That is why I am interested in what you say and do.
The leading edge truth is, to me, always the most interesting place to be.
There is always a way for the truth to be published.
For sure there must be a way to access the vids. I think it would be a good idea to figure out a way to store them which you have control over.
Happiness, Health, Peace and Abundance for All!
Many Blessings,

I am sure it was a BIG mistake. What a terrible mistake it was. I am sending you positive light and love that your videos will be back up and running. I know all your viewers will ban together if needed. We love and support you both.

OUTRAGEOUS!!! What happened to free speech? I think you have "them" running scared, Matt. I really do think that they targeted you because of the TRUTH that you give us. Keep on keeping on... We're behind you 100%
- January 2, 2010 at 6:42 AM
aw, I'm so upset that they deleted the videos. I hope they will restore your account and figure out a way to restore those videos. Your videos are so educational and so fun and so valuable.

I was looking all over! I couldn't believe that I couldn't find the show! But then I remembered to check the blog. Hope you get it all straightened out. I look forward to watching every day!

- Viveca Park said...
Sounds like a mix up and that you'll be vindicated and back on YouTube soon--I sure hope so!
I didn't hear the part about bumps on Angela's scalp, but that has happened twice in my life and took months to get rid of. It was from botanicals in the shampoo I used. The most recent time, it took 1 1/2 bottles of using the shampoo before the bumps appeared. It makes it hard to find a really natural shampoo without botanicals.
- January 2, 2010 at 8:05 AM
I am glad that you and Angela are still uploading videos. Your show is the one thing that my kids (10, 6 and 18mths) and I love to watch together. We were sad though when we went back to watch older episodes that they were gone. As a family we just discovered your show a few months ago and we enjoy them so much that we went back to the beginning of your youtube account (we were just about to start watching your wedding videos).
Matt and Angela you are an inspiration to us and are wonderful role models. You both make being healthy cool to my children and I appreciate that very much.
Lots of Love and Big Hugs From All of Us to Both of You

I have two questions; Can you make kiefer with mature cocnut water (that's all I have access to)?
And Do you have an archive of all the old vids? Did you save them anywhere else???

- tria said...
Wow, Matt that's crazy!!!! I think you're dead on with the reason. I can't think on any other reason why they would do that. We'll, just want to wish you guysa "Happy New Year". Everything will work itself out in the end. You guys take care!!
- January 2, 2010 at 9:49 AM
Happy New Year M&A!!!
Regarding the issue with you YouTube I speculate that someone is reporting you as "abuse" on and on again. The same thing happened with your blog over the last couple of months; fortunately it go resolved because I really enjoy your blog and videos.
There is pornographic/weird stuff on YouTube and Blogspot that in my opinion should get banned but it is there, so I don't think it is the health information you put on.
Hopefully they will review and see that all is OK; otherwise we should put on a petition to get you back on!!!
- January 2, 2010 at 10:05 AM
maybe someone who cut off a finger opening a coconut got you banned from youtube
- January 2, 2010 at 10:10 AM
I soooo sorry you guys :(
- January 2, 2010 at 10:21 AM
Hi again,
After I read Pamela's comment above about using a disclaimer, a big bell went off. Yes, that has to be it. Now this is still speculation until it is confirmed, but I know there are rules about not practicing medicine without a license, and of course even though all of us fans of raw foods do believe it can cure any disease, I do believe you have to use a disclaimer about that. So if there was any rational reason for banning you, that could be one, and I'll go with that as my best guess for those meanies banning you. No need to say what you're not, e.g. "not a victim". You are nothing but a success and inspiration, both you and Angela, to thousands of people. Love you guys.

I would be willing to bet that someone complained about your breastfeeding episode. Come on, we are not supposed to remember that breasts are for feeding children. I love you guys and am glad you found another way to post a video . Whatever happens you should be allowed access to all the old videos to bring them to another video site if that's what you have to do.
- January 2, 2010 at 10:46 AM
- Necrowitch said...
i think you got banned because of an innocent copy right infringement. if it is that, i believe you can get your account back... it just takes time. when you get banned they close all your accounts as they have a rule about that. you make alot of posts on alot of products, books, and other materials. I'm sure it is that and not for being any type of youtube abusive. hope you get your account back soon! =^-^=
- January 2, 2010 at 11:44 AM
- Necrowitch said...
forgot to say. I was busy for the new years holiday and didn't get to watch the last 5 videos you uploaded... maybe you could upload those on here too? o_o
- January 2, 2010 at 12:03 PM
Wow, that's crazy that you folks were banned!!!! I may not agree with everything you say or do but I do enjoy many of your videos and look forward to going to your channel. I really do hope that someone fixes this problem lickity split!

I was looking for you guys last night to see what book Michelle made her soup from and to see if she posted that yummy cookie dough recipe. I almost started crying (don't laugh) because I thought I was banned. lol. I never did anything wrong, I just NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS think you guys would be banned. I looked for you and I found you, so just keep doing your thing and your fans will find you. But I hope to see you on YouTube soon.
- January 2, 2010 at 12:45 PM
Oh, I forgot to say HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Hi Angela and Matt!
I have left my questions on youtube with the last video of Raw Reform and I am leaving them here as well.
Could you, please, express your thoughts and ideas on Codex Alimentarius and the fact that it went into global implementation on the December 31, 2009.
What are we going to do about it? (Especially considering the fact, that we have already let it go that far, although it could have been stopped!..
- January 2, 2010 at 1:11 PM
Look at these links Matt & Angela.
- January 2, 2010 at 1:34 PM
Wow, what a shock to find you had vanished from YouTube today when I went looking for your latest video! I hope this is simply a glitch or some kind of misunderstanding that will be rectified quickly and with an adequate explanation. It makes no sense that your channel and videos would be intentionally banned. Your videos are informative, fun, and inspiring.
- January 2, 2010 at 1:57 PM
To Ruby Rosemary,
Cannabis can be made into a pure THC oil, that can cure all cancers,(stage 4 even!)Visit phoenixtears.ca to learn how to make it, and watch the movie. In combination with this lifestyle there's no stopping us. Doctor Diane's CBD infused olive oil was a pain releiving oil, and those people looked sick, probobly because they are legaly declared sick and able to possess cannabis to treat any number of symptoms from CANCER, Glaucoma, HIV or AIDS, Alzheimer's Disease, Cachexia, Severe pain, Severe nausea, Seizures-epilepsy, Spasms and is known to reverse Multiple Sclerosis. You have THC receptors on every cell of your body, this plant is amasing at helping to bring your body back to homeostasis. In Dianes' video I would save the water, which David Wolfe would tell you is high in Silicon.

Youtube has gotten into the business of censorship. This is dangerous because the internet is our last true place of freedom.
- January 2, 2010 at 3:29 PM
i am guessing that youtube banned you because if you are receiving 1,000 hits+ A DAY, EVERYDAY - this is costing bandwidth and money, especially since youtube is owned by google (also blogger and many things) . . . we need to truly question the realities of public and 'free' spaces on the internet as well as censorship . . . happy new year! love you guys so much ! ! ! yum raw food love world ! ! xx

Awe this is SHOCKING. but its just cus i guess you guys were helping so many people. I wouldn't have just spent like 100 on supplements and raw food stuff if it weren't for you two getting me into this.
I'm suprised anti-gvmt videos are still there and yet you guys are booted.
Hope your video's can be salvaged, or that you have copies?
hope to see you guys on the next video site :P
Happy 2010

Strange how this happened after Best of Raw. I wonder if that had anything to do with it?
This new year has even better things in store for you both. Embrace. In God's Love, Johnny
- January 2, 2010 at 7:09 PM
I think you were banned because you had a three part series on how to get off a pharmaceutical medication ;). Not to sound all big brother, but Big Pharma has a hand in most large media outlets, even You-Tube. Don't let it get you down! Just means you are breaking through to the masses in a way that could be threatening to certain organizations. Keep shining your light you two!!

I agree with necrowitch--I second can you please post your last 5 videos? I'm working on manifesting a trip to Tree of Life this year and I'm using your videos there for visualizion :) also of course I just love watching your show every day. I Love you guys!!!
- January 3, 2010 at 12:24 PM
that's just crazy...doesn't surprise me though. I'm sure big Pharma had something to do with it since you tell the truth about healing. I hope enough people make a stink about it that you can get back on.

Well...sad to hear about your youtube troubles....Im guessing the reason is, because you also use it as a marketing tool.....and post info about your products/sales etc...that may be a violation of TOS...tho i dont know for sure....
But...with some hope....you'll be fully restored soon!

that's what me thinks...and yes missangela, I have gotten visits in the past week from an ex!!, so mercury is RAGEING!awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

OMG! There are dozens and dozens of your shows that I had saved in a file to watch and now they're all gone? PLEEEESE let us know if you can get your shows back and on another site in an archive so that we can access them! Your shows are in my opinion the best out there and I look forward everyday to them. I hope and pray you can either get them back on YouTube or get the archive posted elsewhere so I and others can catch up xx

i thought we lived in a free world, free speech, etc.,. etc.,. but i have to tell you we dont! Matt.....best you watch out what you say.....the ama, ftc, fda, all of them have a powerful grip on what we can and cannot say to millions of potential people. you need to hire an attorney to find out what is legal to say, and what is not legal to say so you can continue your beautiful message with angela and your team. without knowing the law, you will suffer at their hands! And that would be a travesty. Good luck and pls. take this as a serious wake up all. Hope you are both well. Best to you both, jay Kordich
- January 3, 2010 at 7:15 PM
Can't believe you are (hopefully temporarily) banned on youtube. What is the world coming to! I just found you a couple of weeks ago and haven't finished watching all your past vids yet! I have found them super-insightful, I hope they reappear soon. I just remembered you had a blog and found you tonight. Maybe you guys have moved beyond youtube! I know you will find a way to keep getting the word out on raw foods...thank you both so much for all your teachings and inspiration!!

Dear Matt and Angela...
Isn't it sad how mediocrity attacks greatness? (Or rather, in this case, stupidity attacks greatness) It is very possible that big pharma is trying to keep your truths away from the masses...but we already know that nothing can stop the truth, because truth is love and it's all that exists.
You are a blessing in our lives...keep being the vessels of love and healing that you are!
Love and Light,

I have just started watching and was planning on going through them all.

Hi Angela and Matt,
I had to go back to YouTube 3x and check to find you before I came to your blog and found that it was true...so I came to your blog, which I've been following since 2006...I can not believe what YT has done. For the last month I've been following you on YT and other RAW foodist to learn all I could for my health. You are both such a blessing to the world...please never stop videoing or blogging or moving forward no matter what...there are many following your leading...Even if YT does not put you back on...This is a great spiritually time for you to stretch your ministry to a higher level to those world seekers in a greater way then you ever have before. This is only a bump in the road to a greater future for you. Please post your wedding videos again.
Blessing to you both!
Love ya, Grace

- January 5, 2010 at 3:18 PM
if you have anything valuable to offer the world as you do, then the government will interfere. why? because if people are not sick and dying, the pharmacuital companys are not making money. any one with a bit of intellect in the mechanics of the under world in government and politics would realize this

The Shadowy Architects of Civilization continue to shut down sensible speech... first they eradicated indigenous culture (well, not all of it, there's like 3% native culture left), now it seems like they are eradicating sensible speech... amongst other things. When one speaks truth, especially about autonomy the machine gets very upset. How dare you remind people of their innate potential and that they can heal themselves.
Out of destruction comes creation. I say the raw foodies, and our TV Shows, ban together and make our own video server called RAWTUBE... and we just represent like the crazy mother-f-ers that we are!!!
Let's show the machine that when you bite one of us, we don't bite back, we just heal our wounds with Raw Food, spiritual understanding and an occasional sacred mushroom trip and then we move on. We tend to let karma deal with the rest.
Okay, sometimes we bite back... actually we run you through a juicer, we juice your ass, and then we do magical, alchemical processes to transform your gnarly essence from a trick-ass-busta to a creation of divine expression.
We can get everyone on RAWTUBE... and then we just have to go to one place to get all the latest and greatest Health Information. It's like what the New World Order is doing with Governments... Consolidation! Give the people what they want... give them RAWTUBE!! We could call it HealthTube... that seems more inclusive? I don't know? We can have a vote on what we call it... but you get what I'm say'n!
When that farm got shutdown in downtown Los Angeles, I forget what it was called, the families didn't give up... they didn't let the fact that the LAPD beat the shit out of them and destroy their sacred garden defeat them. The farmers bought farm land, from the money they had raised to try to save their garden and re-grew all of their crops. They now participate in farmers markets in downtown LA; bringing live, fresh, organic, indigenous, produce straight to the people.
We could always start our own internet too. There's plenty of awesome programmers that could whip us up our own internet... we could run it on Raw Magic, you know David Wolfe and Daniel Vitalis know someway we can hook that shit up. We could probably just plug our cables into mushrooms and they would figure out the rest... it wouldn't surprise me. Instead of my website being www.dustinkellogg.com it could be raw.dustinkelogg.raw.... booooyah!!!
This may be too radical for some, or maybe it's not radical enough. You decide. I'm out!

Be Alert for Winter Pests
Dec 2, 2013
You're cuddled by the fire, warm mugs in hand, when something goes bump in the night. A prowler? No, it's only a mouse seeking a warm winter hideaway.
Most homeowners don't think about winter pests—like rodents, spiders, cockroaches, crickets or even raccoons and skunks—until they see signs of an infestation, at which point treatment becomes more difficult, says Ron Harrison, Ph.D., director of technical services at Orkin, Inc., based in Atlanta.
Knock Knock
Many pests are inside and making themselves at home before we even know they're there.
The house mouse, Norway rat, and roof rat (non-native species that don't hibernate) start looking for warmer conditions when outside temperatures drop below 50 degrees—which can be early fall in the Midwest and Northeast and mid-winter in southern states. And it's usually the offspring (not as careful as their parents) that are eventually seen and heard, alerting homeowners to their presence even though they've been in the home for months.
Other "overwintering pests" include box elder bugs, lady bugs, and stink bugs, which invade in the fall and would normally hibernate during the winter but are active indoors, especially on warmer winter days, because the house is so warm.
Often, we've opened the door to these pests ourselves, notes Harrison. We bring boxes of decorations down from our attics. We go out to farms to cut down a tree. We buy plants like poinsettias and Christmas cactus to decorate our homes. We bring in logs from the woodpile. Or a visiting relative or kid home from college will have bed bugs inside luggage, purses or on shoes or pants.
Smoke 'Em Out
According to Harrison, the best way to keep pests out of your home during the winter is to take preventative action before you have a problem. He suggests the following:
- Inspect cracks and crevices. Look at the outside of your home, including gutters and roofs that could provide access to overwintering pests. Trim vegetation that can serve as a natural pathway indoors. Seal cracks, crevices or gaps in siding, door and window screens, and around pipes, as these areas can serve as entry points for pests. Rodents and cockroaches can enter your home through tiny gaps—rats can squeeze through quarter-sized openings, and mice can fit through dime-sized holes.
- Examine what you bring in. Carefully look over plants, trees, and stored boxes before bringing them inside. Anything you see that looks insect-like bears closer inspection. Some ant and cockroach species nest in firewood, so be sure to store it on a raised platform away from your home and inspect it before bringing it inside. Only bring in what you plan to burn right away, advises Harrison.
- Keep it clean. Keep countertops and dishes clean, and don't forget to tightly seal leftovers and rinse recyclable containers prior to storing. Empty garbage bins regularly and vacuum frequently to avoid attracting pests.
- Spring fling. As part of your spring cleaning, remove clutter, especially from low-traffic areas like closets, crawl spaces and attics. Pests love clutter. Says Harrison: "Get rid of it and you reduce the places they can hide."
Risky Business
If you do see or hear signs of pests in or around your home, Harrison recommends calling a licensed pest management professional to determine the most effective treatment and control methods. And, he says, it's important to call right away because pests can spread disease, contaminate food, and trigger allergies and asthma in some people, Harrison notes.

U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration Declares a Temporary Ban on the Risky Drugs
By Daniel J. DeNoon
WebMD Health News
Latest MedicineNet News
Reviewed by Laura J. Martin, MD
Sept. 8, 2011 - Bath salts -- dangerous drugs sold with a wink to people seeking a "legal high" -- will soon be illegal to possess or sell in the U.S.
The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has invoked its emergency authority "necessary to protect the public from the imminent hazard posed by these dangerous chemicals."
The action will take effect 30 days from today. It will remain in effect for 12 months, with a possible six-month extension. This gives the Department of Health and Human Services time to lay the groundwork for a permanent law banning the drugs.
Specifically, the DEA action targets three of the drugs commonly sold as "bath salts," "plant food/fertilizer," or even as "toy cleaner." The drugs are among a large number of new designer drugs popping up in retail stores, head shops, and on the World Wide Web.
The drugs now declared to be Schedule I substances -- the most restricted category -- are:
- Mephedrone (methylmethcathinone, also known as M-Cat, Meow, 4-MMC, or Bubbles)
- Methylone (methylenedioxymethcathinone, also known as bk-MDMA, M1, or Explosion)
- Methylenedioxypyrovalerone (MDPV, also known as NRG-1)
"Bath Salts" Drugs Untested, Dangerous
Mephedrone and methylone are synthetic chemical derivatives of the psychedelic herb khat. All three of the newly banned drugs share properties of stimulants, such as methamphetamine, and psychedelics (or empathogens), such as ecstasy. Users of these drugs are reported to compulsively seek repeated doses.
"There is no tolerance for those who manufacture, distribute, or sell these drugs anywhere in the country," DEA Administrator Michele M. Leonhart says in a news release. "Those who do will be shut down, arrested, and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law."
The DEA notes that 33 states "have already taken action to control or ban these or other synthetic substances."
But in interviews with WebMD earlier this year, representatives of both the DEA and the National Institute for Drug Abuse said that underground chemists keep churning out new versions of mind-altering drugs. Because each substance must be specifically declared illegal, these drugmakers try to stay one step ahead of the law.
None of these drugs has been tested in humans. Unlike drugs approved for human consumption, none is made under an open and controlled manufacturing process. Users often do not know which drug they actually are taking -- making it impossible to control dosage, which differs drastically from drug to drug.
Poison control centers are receiving increasing numbers of calls reporting adverse reactions, the DEA says.

Review: IK Multimedia iRig PRO Audio/MIDI Interface
Company: IK Multimedia
Website: www.IKmultimedia.com
Model: iRig PRO
Price: $150
Compatible: All iPads, iPhones + iPod touches
IK Multimedia's latest music accessory, iRig PRO ($150), builds on the success of its prior microphone, guitar, and MIDI interfaces for the iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch with a single accessory. iRig PRO actually incorporates most of the features from iRig PRE (iLounge Rating: A-), iRig HD (iLounge Rating: A-), and iRig MIDI (iLounge Rating: A-) into a single adapter, while using the same 24-bit analog-to-digital converter introduced with the iRig HD. It's the rare accessory that's even better than the sum of its parts.
Designed with a similar form factor to the company's iRig PRE XLR microphone interface, iRig PRO revises the XLR microphone jack found on the prior device to double as a 1/4" high-impedance guitar input, and uses the same high-quality 24-bit analog-to-digital conversion hardware found in the iRig HD. A 2.5mm MIDI IN jack on the left side allows for the simultaneous connection of external MIDI sources such as keyboards. For normal guitar or MIDI use, iRig PRO is powered by a connected iOS device or Mac, while an included 9V battery provides 48V phantom power for condenser microphones requiring it. The package also includes a six-foot 2.5mm to MIDI connector cable as well as Lightning, Dock Connector, and USB cables for connecting to an iOS device or Mac.
Contrasting with prior iRig interfaces, iRig PRO moves the gain control from a dial on the side to a prominent silver dial right on the face of the device. A master power switch is not necessary for normal use as the device draws power from a connected iOS device whenever a compatible app is running, although a switch on the side is used to activate the 48V condenser microphone phantom power. Two multicolored LEDs above the gain dial provide status feedback, with the upper LED indicating phantom power status or MIDI signal, and the lower LED indicating power and input level status. IK Multimedia's standard 7-pin DIN connector is located on the far for connecting to an iOS device or Mac with one of the included cables.
Unlike the pure analog output from the iRig PRE, iRig PRO provides analog to digital conversion for both instrument and microphone sources, allowing it to deliver even cleaner sound. We ran through comparison testing with a set of different microphones—a Shure Beta 87 condenser mic, a Shure SM58 dynamic mic, and a Shure Beta 57A condenser instrument mic—and found that iRig PRO virtually eliminated the already low noise floor found on the iRig PRE, improving further on the previously great interface. Whether this difference will matter depends largely on your intended use case, however: the ultra-low noise floor is great for recording directly into an iOS application, but may be irrelevant when using effects apps to output processed audio via an iOS device's headphone port.
Like iRig HD, the 1/4" high-impedance jack on iRig PRO is primarily intended for use with guitars and basses, but can be used with other instrument-level sources. Not surprisingly, iRig PRO performed with the same level of audio quality as iRig HD, with clean sound, an almost non-existent noise floor, and distortion-free audio across a wide range of frequencies, volume, and gain levels from screaming guitar solos to quiet classical guitar riffs. Users looking for a separate guitar interface may still prefer the iRig HD for its lower price and slightly more solid and unobtrusive design, but in terms of sound quality there's really no reason to prefer one over the other.
MIDI support on the iRig PRO is the most straightforward of all, simply using the MIDI IN port to pass commands through to any compatible Core MIDI iOS app, which worked exactly as we expected. Unlike the iRig HD and iRig PRE, the MIDI features here are a bit less versatile than the company's iRig MIDI accessory, since iRig PRO doesn't include MIDI OUT or MIDI THRU connectors; it's solely for MIDI input. These additional ports are generally only required for more sophisticated MIDI configurations, however, and a musician looking to simply use an iOS device for recording or live performances likely won't care about these omissions. It's worth noting that the applications for a MIDI input with an iOS device go well beyond traditional keyboards, allowing users to connect pedalboard controllers and other accessories that can control an effects panel during a guitar or vocal performance.
With iRig PRO, IK Multimedia has done a extremely impressive job of combining three of its most useful iOS accessories into a single device at a pretty reasonable price point, without losing much in the process. You're basically getting an improvement upon the $40 iRig PRE, an equal to the $100 iRig HD, and the MIDI input capabilities of the $70 iRig MIDI in a single $150 package. Some musicians may note that iRig PRO cannot manage both a microphone and instrument level input at the same time, since it only sports a single combined XLR/1/4" combo port—an understandable and reasonable compromise for a $150 accessory, considering that it would be difficult to effectively mix these two sources through a single A/D converter. While we could see a deluxe version simultaneously upping the functionality and pricing, it's hard to imagine IK or any other company doing better at this price level. While not all musicians will necessarily want or need all three interface possibilities in iRig PRO, this single accessory provides comparatively great value for the money for those who do, and is even worth considering for those who are concerned about future-proofing their mobile iOS music studios. It's worthy of our rare flat A rating and high recommendation.
