Exploring Ancient Texts: The Hàvamàl
With all the recent attention focused on Iceland and the eruption of the volcano Eyjafjalljökull, it seems fitting to devote an article to this beautiful but dangerous island nation's pagan past.
Iceland was once a bastion of the Norse, often better known in pop culture (like the recent film How to Train Your Dragon), as the Vikings. The Norse were a culture of warriors and farmers, who controlled much of Northern Europe from approximately the 8th century to the 11th century AD. Much of what we know about these ancient people is from later medieval Icelandic texts which escaped the rising tide of Christianity that destroyed similar manuscripts on mainland Europe.
Of these, the Prose and Poetic Eddas, preserved primarily by historian and poet Snorri Sturluson or in compendium texts like the Codex Regius, reveal the most about ancient Norse religious beliefs, mythology, and ethics than any other historical sources. Whole tomes could be, and have been, written on these lovely Icelandic texts, but I would like to draw your attention here to the Hàvamàl, my particular favorite section of the Poetic Edda and one of the most understated but important ancient texts from around the world in terms of learning to live a spiritually fulfilling and magickal life.
Hàvamàl means "words of the wise one," and given some of the text's content is devoted to Odin and it is located within the Poetic Edda surrounded by further tales of Odin, is it assumed that this 'wise one' is the great god of the Norse pantheon, Odin. Within the Hàvamàl are two particularly magickal sections devoted exclusively to Odin. The first of these, comprising the 138th to 146th stanzas is entitled the Rúnatal and features, among other tales of Odin, a first person narrative of Odin's blót (sacrifice) on the world tree Yggsdrasil, which earned him the secrets of the runes.
"I know that I hung on the windy tree
Nine whole nights, wounded with the spear,
Given to Odin, myself to myself,
On the tree that sprang from roots
No man knows of.
They gave me neither bread, nor drink from the horn.
I peered down.
I took up runes, howling I took them,
And then fell back.
Nine monstrous songs I learnt from the glorious
Son of Bolthor, Bestla's father.
And one draught I took of the glorious mead
Poured from Odrerir.
Then I began to quicken, to become fertile,
To grow tall and to thrive.
From a word, one word led to another.
From a deed, one deed let to another."
It is one of the most mysterious and evocative passages among Norse manuscripts. The esoteric ritual it represents may or may not have been a dramatization of an actual ritual used to initiate students into the secrets of runology, which therefore would have most likely featured more modest elements: perhaps a nine day fast while meditating beneath a sacred tree which culminated in the singing of certain songs, the drinking of mead, and an introductory first throwing of the rune stones accompanied by a howl of passion. The story and the potential ritual elements it features are both anthropologically conceivable for Norse culture but at the same time strikingly reminiscent of other religious elements, particularly the figure of the god crucified on the tree, pierced by a spear; which smacks a bit of Christian influence and may have been added to the story at a later date.
The second portion of the Hàvamàl relating to Odin, and the conclusion of the Regius Codex version of the Hàvamàl, the Ljóđatal (stanzas 147-163-5), is often referred to as "a catalogue of chants." However it is not so much a compendium of magickal spells as it is Odin boasting of the eighteen magickal powers only he knows the spell-chants for (or only sixteen, depending on which manuscript one consults). The concluding of these is one of the most amusing bits of religious texts:
"This eighteenth I know, I shall never tell
To maid, to man's wife-
Better it is if only one knows;
It is the last of my chants –
Except perhaps for she who holds me in her arms,
Or perchance my sister."
Odin keeps the purpose of the eighteenth charm a secret, one he says he will only share with his own wife or his sister. However Frigg, Odin's wife, is also an adept at divine magick like Odin so will presumably not need to be told this final secret. And Odin has no sister. So when he promises he will tell the secret only to her or his wife, he is cunningly saying he will tell no one.
It is, however, the opening two sections of the Hàvamàl, which I find particularly appealing and useful in the day to day art of living. The latter, the Loddfáfnismál (stanzas 111-137) is directed to the "stray singer," perhaps a wandering bard type figure; and gives him a series of moral and ethical advice as to how he specifically should react in rather specialized circumstances. The former section, that which in fact opens the Hàvamàl is the Gestapáttr or "Guest's section" (stanzas 1-79). It too offers moral advice to the reader. What is important to realize is that the ancient Norse religion was not a dogmatic one. It did not have organized priesthoods watching over the people, dictating how they should live. It was a more personal experience than that. Each man, was, to a certain extent, his own priest. And as such believed not only in a shared knowledge of the stories of the gods, but in a way of living: a way of conducting their daily lives and their interactions with their fellow man.
As a collection of proverbs, these sections advocate both the need to live well and wise in order to be fulfilled and the need for conducting oneself using common sense. It emphasizes a spiritual awareness of one's own practical wisdom in order to succeed in the world. It also uniquely stresses the notion that man is ultimately a social creature, and in order to achieve fulfillment within one's culture, one must acknowledge that and be aware of the rules of engagement between friends, enemies, and strangers. It specifically offers sage words of wisdom on how to treat guests, how to be a guest (hence the section's title as 'the guest's section'), how to treat friends and enemies, and contains admittedly outdated advice on how to interact with members of the opposite sex. It advises its Vikings not to overeat and get fat, to gain as much wisdom as possible in all matters of the world, and to appreciate what you have rather than lust after what you don't. The moral codes emphasized in the Hàvamàl went on to form the basis of Icelandic law, a system which included the first parliamentary system and has been a model for most other democratic nations in the world.Just as it is still referenced in modern Iceland on a day to day basis, many of its creeds are still applicable today in your personal life.
The first example from this section I am offering up to you is my personal favorite. I actually have it written on a card I keep tucked away in my passport case:
"He is truly wise
Who's travelled far
And knows the ways of the
He who has travelled
Can tell the spirit which
Governs the men he meets."
This next exemplifies the good natured but battle hardened warriors Norse culture is often represented as.
"A King's son should be
Thorough and silent
Brave in battle.
A man should be happy
And in good humor
To his dying day."
And here is a bit of ancient psychoanalysis which very much holds true today.
"He is unhappy
And ill-tempered
Who meets all with mockery.
What he doesn't know,
But needs to,
Are his own familiar faults."
Almost Hallmark in its message, copy this next antique platitude into cards to your friends to let them know you care: trod the proverbial postal "road" to them. Nothing says you love them like a pretty bit of stationary with a heartfelt message. And I'm very serious about that. I absolutely adore getting cards in the post.
"A bad friend
Is far away
Though his cottage is close.
To a true friend
Lies a trodden road
Though his farm lies far away."
And finally, some rather harsh ancient dieting advice:
"The glutton does not
Guard himself
Eats till he's ill.
Wiser men
Only mock
A fool's fat belly."
Although seemingly a collection of platitudes and maxims, it is actually much more, in that it reveals the deep running moral and spiritual mode of conduct and ethos of the Norse people, a facet of philosophical and anthropological study not often available for ancient cultures. Analysis of the moral philosophy represented in these two sections of the Hàvamàl has revealed that it was not borrowed from afar, but was rather a home grown moral common sense developed on the farms, forests, and battlefields of the North. Despite the indigenous origin of the code, it is not, however, exclusive to the Norse. Several components of the philosophies of the Hàvamàl, such as its emphasis on the need for understanding human nature and living life to your own moral compass rather than an easier path lesser company might accept from you, are quite similar to the ideas put forth by the Greek philosopher Aristotle, and to some extent his predecessors, Socrates and Plato. What was philosophy to the Greeks was applied common sense to the Norse. It is indicative of earlier men's spot-on understanding of themselves, their fellow men, and how best to live a spiritually fulfilling and happy life.

Sports: Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake's Molly McCormick Ballston Spa Life/The Saratogian's volleyball player of year after leading Spartans to state championship
Published Jan. 6, 2013
BURNT HILLS — The 2012 season could not have ended any better for Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake volleyball standout Molly McCormick.
The senior outside hitter didn't just add plenty of hardware, including Ballston Spa Life/The Saratogian's Player of the Year award, and didn't just lead BH-BL to a second consecutive state championship. Her kill sealed the title match, and provided an appropriate conclusion to her stellar career.
"I think Natalie Moore passed it, and Jessica Dillon set it to me," McCormick said. "I swung and hit it off of the blocker, and that was it. Everyone came together, and we all tackled each other."
"I thought it was a fitting end for her to get that last ball to finish and win the state championship," said BH-BL head coach Gary Bynon, who was also named Ballston Spa Life/The Saratogian's Coach of the Year. "I'm very proud of her accomplishments and what she did for this team."
McCormick had previously been honored as the Suburban Council's Most Valuable Player and an All-State First Team selection. Bynon said her contributions transcended her year-end statistics.
"She was that stable person," he said. "We knew that with her experience on the left side, she was going to be there for us. I thought she became a total player this year."
In addition to averaging 2.6 kills per set on offense, McCormick also chipped in on defense. She averaged 2.1 digs per set, an uncommon total for the offense-heavy outside hitter position.
Still, stats and awards aside, it's the state championship her team won and the bonds they built doing it that McCormick will remember the most.
"I was so proud to be a part of it," she said. "I'm so proud of all of my teammates, everyone was just fantastic.
(This year's team) was all of my best friends, and I'm just so happy." Continued...
McCormick graduates in June, and has not yet decided on where she will go to college. However, she mentioned Rivier University and Saint Michael's College as possible destinations and also said she wants to major in elementary education.
McCormick is one of three Spartans to be honored on this year's Saratogian All-Star team. She's joined by senior libero Siena Wilder (5.6 digs per set) and sophomore outside hitter Jessica Dillon (1.9 kills, 4.5 assists per set).
Also honored on the first team were senior middle hitters Natalie Pikus (Saratoga Catholic) and Rachel Lumley (South Glens Falls), as well as sophomore setter Hayley Mackin (Shenendehowa). Second-team nominees were seniors Erin Thornton (outside hitter, Saratoga Catholic), Kayla Brenz (middle hitter, Schuylerville), Hayley Martin (outside hitter, Galway), and Meghan McDonough (setter, Saratoga Catholic), as well as sophomores Taylor Murphy (middle hitter, Shenendehowa) and Brittany Orminski (libero, Galway). Honorable mentions were junior Heather Sabo (libero, Schuylerville) and sophomores Emily Zawisa (middle hitter, Galway) and Emily Orminski (setter, Galway).

text: (ANIMAL ACTORS) From the silver screen to the viral menagerie of animals on YouTube, canine actors and other popularized pups inevitably fuel society's fascination with certain dog breeds. At the same time, the opposite can also occur, where a film or television show portrays a dog in a negative light and depopularizes that particular breed. "Every time Hollywood makes a dog movie, the breed goes to hell," says one caretaker of bouviers des Flandres dogs. Animals don't always meet potential guardian's expectations. And when their pet doesn't behave like the animal portrayed on a television show or in a particular film, rescue organizations and animal shelters become flooded with popularized breeds.

The Nobile XTR (Extra Range) is all about performance in underpowered conditions. Light winds boards are great for getting on the water in marginal winds, but rarely offer any fun at all as soon as you can comfortably stay upwind.
Making any board plane in light winds is
a comparatively easy job. Making
a board
still be comfortable to ride in powered up conditions
and choppy water is something much harder!
The elements that ensure early planing in a board (flat
rocker and parallel outline) work to make the board
less and less
controllable (and less and less fun to ride) as the
wind increases. The goal of the Nobile XTR was to create
a board that you could ride in 9 to 12 knots but wouldn't
need to head back to the beach and change when it hits 15
to 18 knots and
didn't hinder
your riding pleasure.
For 2009 Nobile have refined last year's EXT and add the
new Dynamic Asymmetrical Outline ensuring that the Nobile
XTR continues to perform in the lightest winds possible.
The Nobile XTR features enough versatility and "fun factor" to be classified as not only a light wind board, but also a board for heavier riders and for use when the wind drops and changing up a kite size is not an option.
The Human Concept
- Dynamic Asymmetrical Outline:
You cant escape the fact that kite-boarding stances are not symmetrical;
can you ride the same on your toe side and heel side edges? If
not, then you have to ask yourself why your board has the same outline and fin
position on the heel side and toe side edges.
Nobiles Dynamic Asymmetrical Outline is designed around their Human Concept,
performance that is destined to enhance and work in harmony with your natural
physiology, not fight against it.
Nobile have tailored the outline on your stronger heel side rail to have more
grip, better upwind performance and maximum POP. On the weaker toe side, Nobile
have increased the curve radius and bought the fins closer to your feet improving
the carving potential and comfort factor of the board when riding switch whilst
at the same time radically decreasing the foot pressure needed to hold your edge.
3D Top Mould:
By fine tuning the mould for different sizes - Nobile have managed to both
simplify the range with less sizes but still provide a model for riders of
all weights and ability levels.
Elliptical Progressive
Elliptical Progressive Concave combines the added advantages of both the flat
bottomed board and the concave shape. The tail area of the board is flat allowing
increased flex for comfort and smooth turning whilst the centre section of
the board has up to 5mm of concave providing earlier planing, extra rail grip
and a smoother ride.
Hydrodynamic Rocker
A conventional rocker with it's flatter centre section and increasing radius
towards the tail causes the water to accelerate along its length as the distance
it has to travel increases. This acceleration causes drag on the board. Nobile's
hydrodynamic rocker contains most of it's radius in the centre of the board.
The straight action enables the water to maintain it's direction of travel
all the way along the bottom of the board making the drag from the water to
be reduced to a minimum as it travels the shortest distance possible. For 2009,
Nobile have increased the lift in the tips of the Hydrodynamic Rocker Line.
This subtle change increases versatility (particularly when switching from
heel-side to toe-side) and dramatically reduces unwanted spray whilst maintaining
all other benefits the Nobile 666 has become famous for.
Complete Anti-Vibration
It is a little known fact that proper flex control in a kiteboard is not solely
determined by the deck's overall deflection in response to pressure. Variable
flex zones, flex response speeds and vibration control are all equally important
factors. Fast flex response speeds can raise the performance characteristics
of a board that can cause rail "chatter" at speed, leading to a loss
of rail grip and a general lack of comfort. Reducing this "chatter" or
vibration through the use of advanced core materials and laminate provides
exceptional rail grip in all conditions and increases rider comfort and control.
UV Resistant Foils:
Having the best performing board on the market won't prevent disappointment
if the colours start to fade after 6 months use. Nobile's UV resistant
foils ensure your board will look as good in six month's as the day it
came out of the wrapper.
Nobile Fin Shims:
No matter how carefully you ride, anyone can have an accidental contact with
the beach or other solid objects. As well as ruining a good session, the
resulting damage and / or fin loss can be frustrating. Nobile's new Fin
Shims distribute the load placed on the heads of the screws, across the
wider surface of the deck of the board, protecting your board from damage
in all but the most extreme situations. For 2009, Nobile have increased
the length of the fin screws, ensuring deeper penetration into the G-10fins,
reducing the chance of fin loss, or damage even further.
Nobile Integrated
Footbed System:
Nobile's revolutionary Integrated Footbed System allows for simple installation
and a huge range of adjustment to fit all foot sizes.
Nobile G-10 Fins:
Nobile fins are 55mm and molded in high visibility orange to help in finding the board after wipeouts.
Tip Rocker Profilers: Supplied with all Nobile 2009 boards, Nobile's patented Tip Rocker Profilers are specifically matched to the profile of the fin. It's no secret that in choppy water some boards generate more spray than others. What's not commonly known though is that the spray is normally caused by water hitting your front foot and being kicked up into your eyes. Changing the rocker of the board changes the release point of the water but can also adversely effect the performance of the board. By placing the profilers under the fins on the heelside edge - you are effectively adding around 5mmm of kick into only the ultimate part of the tail of the board. In most cases this is enough to change the angle the board rides at in the water and eliminates the spray. If you don't have a problem or are fortunate enough to ride in flat water you can leave them out for the most efficient rocker possible.
Nobile NHP XTR (Nobile EXT) 2009 Features:
- Hydrodynamic Rocker provides fantastic early planing and upwind ability.
- Dynamic Asymmetrical Outline increases versatility and comfort.
- Wider stance options for more stable riding position.
- Fin Shims for stronger fin / board connection.
- Offset inserts ensure maximum heel-side grip when powered up.
- 3 year warranty against breakage.
Who is the board designed for:
If you want to ride in light winds and still perform
then the Nobile NHP XTR 09 is for you.
Whilst the principal goal remains performance and fun in light winds, the Nobile XTR still offers such control and versatility that if the wind does begin to pick up, you may find yourself enjoying riding on it longer than you think.

Thesis and Books
Currently in Writing
Guerilla Therapy (working title)
I am currently in the process of scribbling ideas, meditations and daydreams onto pieces of paper that if I can later find, I am collecting and compiling. The theme emerging in these scraps is reflected in my working title, Guerilla Therapy.
Guerilla Therapy presents ideas for a new way of relating to the psychotherapeutic process. Following from the original theme of deconstructing the traumatogenic forces within civilization presented in my graduate thesis, Trauma & Civilization, this new thread is about a changing of the guard within the world of psychotherapy. The cultural skeptic in me wonders how a system (like psychology) – so entangled in our civilized mentality and structure – can support a process of real healing, growth and aliveness.
Working with:
- recent findings in neuroscience (specifically interpersonal neurobiology),
- basic ideas from ancient teachings,
- and my own curiosity,
I continue to seek a healing model that reflects both the integrative and emergent properties of being human.
Keep checking in with my blog – I hope to be using it as a vehicle for presenting some of the simple questions making me curious that will help direct me in my process of writing.
2004 (Master's Thesis)
Trauma & Civilization: The Relationship Between Personal Trauma, Social Oppression, and the Transformative Nature of Trauma Healing (A Biopsychosocial Approach)
If you're interested in my thesis, please feel free to download it here. If you're so moved, I'd ask you make a small contribution (just click on the link below) – whether that's $1, $5 or more – which will be used toward supporting future international trauma work. We have many plans in the works but funding is always an issue. Thank you!
This is my graduate thesis from Union Institute & University. This was a 3-year labor of love, with roots tracing even farther back. I would be honored to know you read this, and would enjoy any comments you might have. [If you'd like to purchase a hard copy, please contact me ]
This study demonstrates how unresolved trauma affects individuals' capacity to create healthy, functional lives. It describes the foundational relationship between personal trauma and social oppression that creates a cycle of dependence on lower functioning physiological, psychological, and social mechanisms. This "Cycle of Devolution" has its origin in humanity's disconnection from its greatest resources – including, basic life rhythms, mutually-enhancing relationships, sustainable communities, and ancestral wisdom. At the very roots of modern civilization, unresolved personal trauma has impacted the social systems that shape modern life – including, child-rearing, family, education, religion, and culture. However, this trauma-induced cycle shifts as individuals successfully renegotiate traumatic experiences, altering the way they relate to themselves, their families, and the world. This paper relies on the new science of Somatic (body-oriented) Psychology to unravel the mystery of trauma and oppression. Specifically, Peter Levine's model of Somatic Experiencing is explored in its use of healing trauma as a vehicle for personal and social transformation. Working with the thwarted physiological responses to trauma, this approach awakens individuals' creative impulses and self-regulatory functioning. In this way, healing from trauma provides an opportunity to reorganize personal and social life.

Millions of New Yorkers were seriously impacted by Super Storm Sandy, especially in New York City, Long Island, and lower Hudson Valley. While the immediate need for safety, shelter, and basic services are top priorities, the repair and rehabilitation of homes, businesses, and other buildings is critical to advancing comprehensive recovery efforts.
Some of the most severely affected areas contain thousands of older properties, many of which are historic or located in historic communities and neighborhoods. Helping communities preserve and renew historic resources is central to the mission of the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) and its programs and services have the potential of offering important rehabilitation tools to assist property owners during the extensive process of recovery and repair.
In addition to the information and technical assistance available through this website, we offer the following links and documents to help property owners address a variety of storm-related emergencies and issues—from cleaning up buildings and protecting their contents to planning for much-needed rehabilitation work. We hope these materials are useful. For more information and assistance, contact the SHPO at 518-237-8643.

My cousin just posted This on FB about his son Joe.
Joe is back in the Cleveland Clinic ICU. Had bleeding on the brain from blood being too thin. Gave him platelets to clot but put the LVAD in jeopardy to clot. The bleeding is stopped but cannot go back on blood thinners for 5 days. He is also going into heart failure again with too much liquid in his body backing up into his liver. The right side of his heart is not keeping up with the pump because of that. He is back on a drip to get the water out of his body to help the right side of his heart to function properly. His liver was tender for over a week but the doctors fluffed it off to a pulled muscle.

I had found a pattern for a peyote bracelet that is called "wild at heart" and the charm was perfect! It also matches my tattoo! Beautifully made. Can't wait to get my bracelet done. As always Auntie's Beads is the one to go to for beads and things.

pin up
I'm sure that in previous lifetime I was dancing in an all-night contest with a sailor on leave in New York, in a dance hall, wearing wedge heels, garters, and that swingy red dress.
Maybe I can't have it all. But, I can have a diamond necklace.
carla hale
I'm mad as hell. After all, that's my alma mater you're talking about.
Most people think it is pure, sweet, wholesome and all around lovely.
Nap shame lies somewhere between Peter Pan Syndrome (refusal to grow up) and Sleep Machismo (lack of sleep as a virtue).
the bachelor
The show is exploitative. Degrading. Absurd. And I'm hooked.
At Dr. B's office, I wasn't told a cystoscopy would even be happening. I wasn't asked if I wanted it. Afterward, I got in my car and cried for a long time.
Just like there is never a good time for your toilet to clog, or your electricity to go out, or to develop a bladder infection, there is never a good time for your computer to crash.
travel clothes
I want to look pulled together when I fly. I've recently accepted that I do not. When I go home for the holidays I go in style: sweat pants and Uggs with wool socks.
spontaneous orgasm
Even if such a thing was possible -- an orgasm with no genital contact of any kind -- it seemed like something that would take years of Tantric study, lots of candle-lit OM-ing and lifetimes of good karma to learn.
The Presidential Turkey Pardon should make me feel warm and fuzzy, but all it does is make me feel like shit about Thanksgiving. Here's why.
barack obama
I have a history of dramatic dreams during election season.
Halloween revels in the macabre and the morbidity of death, the physical state of the lifeless body, the fear of death itself.
I decided that Zumba, the "dance-fitness" craze, was cheesy and that I wouldn't be caught dead doing it. Until I did it.
Despite the fact he began disrespecting me, I still wanted to _____ and _____ him all day and all night.
nigella lawson
Living in Los Angeles, I'm often aware of my weight. Shape. Frame. I am also aware of everyone else's weight. And what everyone else thinks of that weight. I am aware of the weight of all of this weight.
the r-word
It shocks the hell out of me every time one of my friends casually throws out an, "Oh my God, I am so retarded" Really? Does no one else take offense? Or am I the only sanctimonious retard that cares?
So. Is it a cult? Technically, no. But, if it walks like cult, talks like a cult, and preys on people like a cult, it just might be Landmark.
Sometimes we defuse discomfort, or anger, or rage with humor because there is nothing left to do in the moment.

I would rather just read the damn book myself.

Vegan Baking Recipes
Magic Bars are also known as Seven Layer Bars because they often involve seven alternating layers of things like walnuts, chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, butterscotch chips and shredded coconut that are bonded together with a liberal drizzling of condensed non-dairy milk. I opted to forego the peanut butter chips and butterscotch chips due to their near-impossible vegan availability and because they usually push the sweetness envelope a little too far. I then made up for their lack of flavors by opting for Golden Caramel Sauce or Easy Caramel Sauce instead of Condensed Non-Dairy Milk in the binding department. The result is a sticky gooey mess of a great thing.
This Mulled Wine recipe uses maple syrup as its primary sweetener then utilizes allspice berries, cinnamon bark, orange peel and clove berries for a smooth, spicy wine that will soothe those winter blues. This vegan spiced wine is great for holiday parties because it's easy to make and it gets things started.
This Munchable Multigrain Granola recipe has a complex, hearty flavor due to the high protein grains such as amaranth, quinoa and buckwheat that it features. Walnuts and pecans increase the protein level and add a welcome crunch, making this vegan granola perfect for breakfast before a day of world domination.
This High Protein Granola recipe is great for a hearty first meal of the day because it's low in sugar, high in protein and high in flavor. It gets the bulk of its protein from hemp protein powder. It then utilizes natural sweeteners like maple syrup, chopped dates and raisins for a complex sweetness profile that won't send GI levels through the roof. Walnuts and pecans round out the crunch department in this vegan granola while providing a tasty contrast with the hemp powder.
This Tropical Paradise Granola recipe features shredded coconut, coconut oil, dried pineapple and dried mango. Cashew butter makes a creamy base that ties it all together. Savoring this vegan granola is kind of like going on vacation. Except without palm trees. And it's cheaper. And it tastes better.
This Peanut Butter Chocolate Banana Pie recipe combines probably the three best flavor combinations in the dessert world. These three prominent flavors are then brought together in this vegan pie with brown rice syrup, non-dairy milk and a touch of salt. Use Flaky Pie Crust for best results.
I always thought properly made pumpkin pie was amazing until I tried sweet potato pie. Sweet potatoes are sweeter and the flavor is considerably more complex than pumpkin purée so that's why I was so excited to develop this Sweet Potato Pie recipe. This vegan pie is further enhanced with cashew butter, barley malt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves to create a flavor that will leave pumpkin in the dust. Try making it with Flaky Pie Crust.

Comment posted It's goodbye from Martha as Council switches off her dinnercam by Michael Banks.
Stupidest council in Britain indeed and there is some mighty incompetent councils competing for that honour. Lay waste to the people who know what they are doing and this is what happens. My sympathies for what remains of the comms team, i bet this isn't what they signed up for.
Michael Banks also commented
- Just announced the ban has been recinded.
- That would need a sense of humility which is not something that exists at ABC, just arrogance and stupidity
- Turn your ear in all directions and feel the incredulity
- We currently have a Chief Exec who is somewhat clueless and floundering in a 24/7 news environment she clearly does not even begin to comprehend. Perhaps if she had not suspended or fired half of a very experienced and fully capable comms team, none of this would have happened. She has turned what could have been a positive into a nightmare that will be a PR s*** storm.

Diversified Technique is the classic chiropractic technique, developed by Dr. D.D. Palmer. At Logan, Diversified Technique was refined and developed by the late Otto Reinert, DC, to address biomechanical failure in each section of the spine, as it relates to specific subluxation. The focus is on restoration to normal biomechanical function, and correction of subluxation. In addition, Diversified methods have been developed to adjust extremity joints, allowing for beneficial applications in treating sports injuries and other injuries.
Diversified adjusting of the spine uses specific lines of drives for all manual thrusts, allowing for specificity in correcting mechanical distortions of the spine. Logan's Diversified instructing focuses intensely on the specificity of Diversified adjusting, allowing students to develop high levels of competence in the technique by the time they complete the Diversified curriculum.

SOURCE: Americas Watchdog
The US Drug Watchdog believes nearly 180,000 US citizens who have a recalled DePuy ASR hip implant, or a DePuy Pinnacle metal on metal hip implant should get a blood test for cobalt, and chromium levels in their blood, and to call them for the names of the best law firms, if their cobalt, or chromium levels are elevated. For more information about the DePuy ASR hip implant recall, or the problematic DePuy Pinnacle metal on metal hip implant please call the US Drug Watchdog at 866-714-6466. http://USDrugWatchdog.com
(PRWEB) February 04, 2013
The US Drug Watchdog says, "We believe the easiest way for a recipient of a DePuy ASR, or a DePuy Pinnacle metal on metal hip implant to see if their hip implant has failed is to get a simple blood test for elevated levels of cobalt, or chromium in the blood stream. If elevated levels of cobalt, or chromium are discovered we want the hip implant recipient to call us as soon as possible, so we can provide them with the names, and contacts of law firms that are working on this litigation. Our biggest worry with the recipients of the recalled DePuy ASR hip implant, and or the recipients of the DePuy Pinnacle hip implant is not enough people have been identified by the federal courts handling these specific cases. Between the recalled DePuy ASR, and the DePuy Pinnacle we have about 180,000 US recipients." The DePuy ASR was recalled in August of 2010 because of a very high failure rate, and the DePuy Pinnacle is now the subject of a national class action because of failure rate issues. The US Drug Watchdog says, "If you, or a loved one has had a hip replacement involving the recalled DePuy ASR, or a DePuy Pinnacle hip implant, please call us immediately at 866-714-6466, before time runs out to get compensated." http://USDrugWatchdog.com
Update from the US Drug Watchdog: According to the Los Angels Times on January 25th 2013, "J&J faced 10,100 ASR hip implant lawsuits through September, according to a regulatory filing. Most pretrial collection of evidence is consolidated in federal court in Toledo, Ohio, where 7,240 cases are pending; and California state court in San Francisco, where more than 2,000 cases are filed. Other cases were filed in state courts around the U.S." The US Drug Watchdog says, "Our big problem with this is there are nearly 40,000 DePuy ASR metal on metal hip implant recipients in the United States, and we are urging all of them to get a blood test now, so we can try and help them get identified to the court by competent national caliber law firms, if their blood test indicates elevated levels of cobalt, or chromium." http://USDrugWatchdog.Com
The US Drug Watchdog is the premier pharmaceutical, and medical device watchdog in the United States. The group says, "We want to make certain all DePuy ASR hip implant recipients, and all DePuy Pinnacle hip implant recipients get to attorneys that have the best record in achieving superior results for their clients. We do not want any recipient of a recalled DePuy ASR, or a DePuy Pinnacle stuck with a potentially failed metal on metal hip implant, and a big medical bill." For more information please contact the US Drug Watchdog anytime at 866-714-6466, or contact the group via its web site at http://USDrugWatchdog.com

For the design of the Kaiser Friedrich-Museum (renamed Bode Museum in 1956), the emperor Wilhelm II commissioned the head government building officer Ernst von Ihne, one of the best-known exponents of "Wilhelminian Baroque". In order to achieve the appearance of a building rising from water the architect arranged the three-winged building around several interior courtyards so that the exterior facades immediately bordered the banks of the river Spree. A dominating dome and two opulent staircases lend the building a stately air which is underlined further by the decorative elements such as the monumental pilasters, demi-columns and window surrounds. The former general director of the museums Wilhelm von Bode himself made suggestions concerning the lighting of the rooms and their proportioning. The art works were shown within the context of original ceilings, fire places, door jambs, tapestries and furniture. Bodes presentation concept, aimed at a general effect of authenticity, was influential throughout the world.
The museum was opened in 1904. During the Second World War much of the building, especially the dome, suffered great damages. Beginning in the 1950s, step by step the museum was reconstructed and put back into use. In the 1990s, general restoration began with the first parts of reconstruction work; in August 2000 construction works for the basic restoration followed. The Numismatic Collection has been open to visitors at the Bode Museum since 22 October 2004, opened on the occasion of its 100th anniversary. On 19 October 2006, the Bode Museum was re-opened in its entirety, displaying the Sculpture Collection, the Numismatic Colletion and works from the Gemäldegalerie - Old Master Paintings.

Looking for Swing Wing Golf Commerce Twp. MI?
SwingWing Golf is a Michigan based outfit (oops, company) that conceived the SwingWing Swing Wing Golf product almost 10 years ago. After many attempts at developing a cost effective way to help golfers of all abilities with their golf swing in Commerce Twp. MI, both in training and when warming up, an idea was hatched to produce an inflatable Swing Wing Golf in Commerce Twp. MI that would utilize wind resistance as a means of promoting a faster golf swing in Commerce Twp. MI. Our goal was to develop a Swing Wing Golf product that all golfers could afford and benefit from, and could be used anywhere a golfer could swing a golf club.

This whole muscle cut of our Kobe-style Wagyu beef is perfect to hand-cut individual ribeye steaks to your exact liking. You will delight in the soft, buttery texture and mouthwatering flavor of this world-famous beef.
Our whole Wagyu ribeye cut makes an exceptionally juicy roast. It's also perfect for hand-cutting melt-in-your-mouth steaks to your exact liking. When cooking steaks, we recommend that the meat be cooked rare to medium rare. Because of the delicate nature of this highly marbled meat, it is best not to use extremely high heat when searing or grilling, as overcooking can melt the marbling and cause the meat to become tough and chewy.

U.K. energy giant BP PLC (BP) confirmed Friday that a key European pipeline project to import natural gas from Azerbaijan, called Nabucco, will be of much more limited scope than hoped and reach only Europe's border with Turkey.
Conn's comments, delivered at a conference in Berlin Thursday, come as little surprise after the Nabucco consortium, which is backed by European energy companies OMV AG (OMV.VI) and RWE AG (RWE.XE), last week put forward a far less ambitious plan for the pipeline to run only from Austria to the Bulgarian border with Turkey.
These decisions mark the end of a key strategic initiative, that had considerable political backing from EU and U.S. authorities, to reduce Russian dominance over European gas supplies by importing gas direct from Central Asia.

You can take simple steps to help stop the spread of flu and other air-borne viruses:
Coughing and SneezingCough or sneeze into a tissue and then throw it away. Cover your cough or sneeze if you do not have a tissue. Then, clean your hands; do this every time you cough or sneeze.
Clean Your Hands Often When available, wash your hands -- with soap and warm water -- then rub your hands vigorously together and scrub all surfaces. Wash for 15 to 20 seconds. Soap combined with the scrubbing action helps dislodge and remove germs.
When soap and water are not available, alcohol-based disposable hand wipes or gel sanitizers may be used. You can find them in most supermarkets and drugstores. If using a gel, rub it in your hands until they are dry. The gel doesn't need water to work; alcohol in the gel kills germs that cause colds and flu.

Zoomy - sounds like classic overtraining syndrome. Just my $.02.
And Zoom's response to Wingz' very good advice was as predictable as sunrise. Congrats, Zoom. You're officially a runner. One of the key ingredients in any runner is a propensity to ignore good (and obvious) advice and to insist they aren't over-training. :: snip:: Frickin' runners.
Go run one of those virtual races this weekend. Bust your ass to run it as fast you can. Make a note of your time, and how your body feels. Then, for the next month, never *ever* run two days in a row. Not once. Cap your weekly mileage to 20 miles, no matter what. And on those days off, NO cross training involving your legs. Hit the weights or the pool, if you have to cross train. Better yet, run just 3 times a week. If you want to keep mileage up, make the runs longer. Then ... In November, run the same race again. And let us know how your body feels, and what your time is. I guarantee you'll be pleasantly surprised. No I don't. Because, just like me, you won't listen. Frickin' runners. -----------------------------------------------
I will probably cease my speedwork for now, too (), since my hip flexor problems have consistently cropped up within a couple of days of racing (and seems to resolve itself once I've avoided any faster runs for a few days).
Your toughness is made up of equal parts persistence and experience. You don't so much outrun your opponents as outlast and outsmart them, and the toughest opponent of all is the one inside your head." - Joe Henderson
