You know I've dropped from about 120 kilos to 75kg. I'm pretty happy with that.
Did you know that one of my sisters died of cancer?
Did you know that my one and only and former wife, mother of my children, is dying of cancer?
Why am I telling you this?
You see, now that I'm so fit I'm running. This Saturday I'm going to run 10 kilometres, without stopping.
I'm running for two reason, one is I enjoy it. It makes me feel good.
The other is that it's in support of the Cancer Council Victoria.
I can give you all the stats and the reason that research is so important, but I won't, you know that stuff.
What I can tell you is that a part of my heart is breaking because I have to watch those that are close to me die; way before their time.
That fucking hurts. And I'm not even the one doing the dying too early.
Your support – whatever you can give – will help those that are still to come, find ways to help.
Go here, give money, make my run more funner. Help someone in need.

van Garderen wins USA Pro Challenge 2013; Sagan takes final stage
Van Garderen, the 25-year-old BMC rider from Bozeman, Montana, led the race for the final four days, finishing 1 minute, 30 seconds ahead of Swiss Mathias Frank. The Tour of California winner in May, van Garderen was fifth last year in the Tour de France, then slipped to 45th this year.
American Tom Danielson of Team Garmin-Sharp was third overall, 1:42 behind van Garderen.
Slovakia's Peter Sagan won the final leg for his fourth stage victory of the week, completing the eight-lap, 72.4-mile circuit race in 2:27:15. Canada's Ryan Anderson of Optum-Kelly Benefit was second, a bike-length behind. Alessandro Bazzana of UnitedHealthcare was third.
Van Garderen, who finished third in USA Pro Challenge in 2011 and second last year, when to the front of the field briefly in the final half-mile to avoid potential crashes. Sagan want to the front in the final 200 yards and eased at the line with his 19th win of the season.
"July is definitely the most important month in bike racing," said van Garderen, who went to the high school in Colorado and developed his early career while riding throughout the Rocky Mountains. "I had an incredible time here in Colorado. Being able to race on the roads I used to train on in high school, that was a dream. I was hearing my name called out so many times, it was unbelievable. So this is a special race for me." Despite his two titles this year, van Garderen stressed his desire fare well in the Tour de France.
"This doesn't make up for a poor July," said van Garderen, who the past two years rode in the Tour de France in support of teammate Cadel Evans of Australia, the 2011 race winner. "I'm still hungry for the Tour. I still see myself as a Grand Tour rider and I want to come back to the Tour in the future and fight for a high GC (leader's finish) and hopefully a couple of years down the line even wear the yellow jersey there."
Christopher Juul Jensen (Saxo-Tinkoff) of Denmark and Joshua Edmondson (Sky) of Great Britain crashed approaching the final lap toward the back of the field. Jensen finished the race, but Edmondwson withdrew.
Van Garderen became the race's third leader with a runner-up mountaintop finish in the fourth stage, the most difficult of the race. He won the time trial fifth stage by 4 seconds to extend his lead, then maintained it for the final two days.
Reigning Tour de France champion Chris Froome of Great Britain, who suffered in the altitude since the opening stage, withdrew early in the final stage.
Defending race champion Christian Vande Velde (Garmin-Sharp) finished 21st overall after a main pack finish.
The race's third edition began August 19 in Aspen with 16 teams and 128 riders. The 593-mile event ended with 108 riders after 20 cyclists withdrew following injuries or illness.

Are You Afraid To Fly? You're Not Alone!
Millions of people all over the world prefer not to fly on commercial aircraft. Some have never flown and don't know what to expect; others have to fly regularly but are extremely uneasy about the whole process. And even those who are comfortable with flight itself can become nervous in airports, at ticketing and reservations – the whole confusing operation that supports air travel.
There is a heightened awareness these days of terrorism and the security process that has become the norm even when flying domestically. All of this contributes to passenger anxiety and stress.
Your fear of flying is real and significant. (Flying goes against basic, deeply rooted human reactions, including the fear of falling which is the most fundamental of all fears.) Remember you are not alone and having a fear of flying is not irrational but avoiding it and doing nothing about it is.
The Flying Without Fear programme has now helped thousands of New Zealanders become knowledgable, relaxed and interested passengers, as free to travel by air as they are to drive their own car.
Grant Amos (BA Sociology, MA Psychology, Life Member NZ Psychological Society) is the programme director with a background in the aviation industry. Air NZ asked Grant to set up the programme in 1982 and the course has continued successfully since that time.
The aim of the programme is to de-mystify flying for the participants. We believe that knowledge is the key to your success in learning to fly well. You will become armed with a "flying toolbox of tricks" to help you overcome your fears and get on with flying.

Gill v. Devlin and Howell
Case representing Texas lesbian denied the opportunity to interview for a permanent teaching position at a Texas community college.
Jacqueline Gill is a Ph.D. student and former high school English teacher who most recently worked as a full-time temporary professor at Tarrant County College's (TCC's) Northeast Campus in Hurst. Gill was hired in August 2009, and at the time was informed that it was customary to hire full-time instructors on a temporary basis first, and that teachers who complete the one-year contract term successfully are uniformly hired when the positions are made permanent. Gill received high praise from colleagues, superiors, parents and teachers while at TCC. However, Gill was also subjected to a lengthy diatribe about "homosexuals" and about how "Texas and Tarrant County College do not like homosexuals" by English Department Chair Eric Devlin after a former student who had been disciplined for academic dishonesty by Gill retaliated by falsely claiming that Gill flirted with girls during class, a claim Gill denied. Then, in June 2010, Gill alone of the contract teachers who entered with her in the summer of 2009 was not permitted even to interview for the teaching positions when they were made permanent.
Lambda Legal filed suit on behalf of Gill against Devlin and Antonio Howell, Division Dean of Humanities, Tarrant County College NE Campus, claiming Devlin and Howell are violating the Equal Protection Clause of the U.S. Constitution by refusing to permit Gill to interview for a permanent teaching position and by interfering with the hiring process regarding Gill's application based on their perception that she is a lesbian.
- September 2011 Lambda Legal files complaint in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas.
- March 2012 Court denied a motion by TCC administrators to dismiss the lawsuit.
- July 2012 TCC and Gill agree to settle the lawsuit. The settlement agreement contains no admission of liability, but under the terms of the agreement TCC agrees to pay Gill more than $160,000 and to provide her with a positive letter of recommendation. In addition, although not part of the settlement, TCC now has a written policy prohibiting employment discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity.

Dotnuva, 30.9.36 | |
Well, this shocking incident really happened. She died suddenly in a quick and merciless way. This way it is a little abnormal, but the pain itself is both natural and necessary. What can we do? This is a great loss for all of us. She is no longer with us. We had the opportunity to know her not only for her deeds across the ocean, but also for her majestic appearance and her soul. Her memory will remain in our hearts forever. I can imagine how this incident affected you, but you have to grasp the world in a more natural and realistic way. Look around you and see how people in the big world react to such matters, and then, you'll be one of them. Our concept is a small-town concept, fundamentally disrupted, and in the light of life around, you'll be convinced that there is too much unnecessary melancholy and sentiments in them. The things that I'm writing to him about our mother never happened, but there is no other way. She isn't worse since you left us Be healthy and happy. Now that you entered your new life, you have to go full of energy and joy towards them, and woe to you if you fall into this great mistake. With hope and energy for life.
Shalom. Shalom to you. |

The Parlor Cafe Opens in North Adams
Jason Morin and Elizabeth Osimo pose at the bar of their recently opened shop, The Parlor Cafe, located on 303 Ashland St. |
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — Last year a popular coffee and tea shop, The Elf Parlor, closed its doors for good.
But on Wednesday, a new coffee and tea shop, The Parlor Cafe, opened in its place.
"It's a love story," owner Jason Morin said. "I can't name anybody that wasn't heartbroken when it was closed."
Morin opened the shop with Elizabeth Osimo after spending about two months renovating the Ashland Street building. Morin has business experience running his own website-building service, BerkSites, while Osimo previously worked as a barista and bakes the goods.
The Parlor Cafe uses Dean's Beans, which is roasted in Orange and uses certified fair trade, organic and kosher beans, for its coffee. A 10-ounce to-go cup or a house mug costs $1.67 and a 16-ounce to-go cup costs $2.04.
An array of Ann Arbor tea flavors are also available — $1.75 for a 10-ounce to-go cup or house mug, $2 for a 16-ounce cup or $2.50 $3.20 for "Tea for Two," served in a 24-ounce teapot.
For food, a variety of baked goods, fudge, Sunshine Bagels, salads and sandwiches are available. Specialty sandwiches range in price from about $3.50 to $7.75.
Morin said he hopes to have a liquor license in the spring, once all the needed paperwork and application process is completed.
The Parlor Cafe will offer late-night entertainment. Friday will be open mic night and Morin plans to host more structured shows on Saturday. Morin is also open to having smaller, local private functions at the shop on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
Morin and Osimo are welcoming more ideas; at the bar, a chalkboard is displayed with the message "Tell us what you'd like so we can be your cafe!"
The Parlor Cafe, located on 303 Ashland St., is open Tuesday through Saturday, 7 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. For more info, check out The Parlor Café Facebook page or website. The drink and food menus can be found here and here, respectively.
Burger Kings Closed in Pittsfield, Lenox
The signs at the Burger King on First Street assure patrons the closure is temporary. |
Signs at the drive-up window at the First Street location say "Closed temporarily, sorry for the inconvenience." The Burger King on Merrill Road is also closed with the same signage; someone who answered at the Burger King in Lenox said that eatery closed Wednesday night, but the closure is only temporarily.
When contacted about the closures, franchise owner Richard George of Pittsfield replied, "I'm not at liberty to say right now."
According to Manta, the private company has annual revenue of $1 million to $2.5 million and employs a staff of 20 to 49. It was established in 1984 in Pittsfield.
North Adams Dunkin' Doughnuts Closed For Renovations
Forget the doughnuts this week. The Dunkin' Donuts at the corner of Union and Eagle streets in North Adams is getting a facelift, including new paving in the parking lot. |
Great Barrington Friendly's Casualty in Bankruptcy
The Great Barrington restaurant was the only closure in the Berkshires. Thirty-six other restaurants were also closed, including three in the Springfield area and seven others in Massachusetts. Several in the Capital Region of New York also closed their doors.
According to a statement from company, "we were unable to reach an acceptable agreement with landlords at 37 restaurants. Therefore, the Company has made the difficult decision to close these Friendly's effective at the close of business on January 8th."
The Great Barrington location is no longer listed on the company's website.
That makes 100 restaurants closed since the Wilbraham company first entered Chapter 11 last fall. The company has about 7,500 locations. The restaurants employed about 20 people each.
Friendly's Ice Cream Corp. emerged from bankruptcy after selling the corporation and its subsidiaries to Friendly's Ice Cream LLC for a reported $75 million.

Crazy Cakes Bakery Opens in Adams
Crazy Cakes Bakery in Adams offers homemade baked goods and specialty cakes, including wedding cakes. |
Crazy Cakes Bakery opened the beginning of October inside Pizza Jim's on Howland Avenue but instead spreading pizza sauce, it's specializing in cakes and baked goods.
One family works together to run and operate the pizzeria and the bakery. By combining the two, customers have a wide variety of choosing either pizza or baked goods to enjoy.
The bakery was started by Cindy Rosenburg. The pizzeria is operated by Jim and Linda Rosenburg Montgomery, who moved the operation to Howland Avenue nearly two years ago from Commercial Street.
"We've always gotten along and worked well together," Rosenburg said of her sister-in-law Linda and her husband.
She started baking and selling cakes and goods from her basement in the town of Florida and felt the need to expand. So she contacted her in-laws about joining forces. "We got together and decided to try it," she said.
Crazy Cakes specializes in typical baked goods from whoopie pies to cookies to wedding cakes. Rosenburg said "everything" is specialty. The family hopes business will take off and keep customers happy.
Check the out the bakery's Facebook page for daily specials. Hours are 8 to 4 and the bakery is located inside Pizza Jim's at 86 Howland Ave. in Adams. For more information, call 413-743-1379.

Kurt Pauly
Born: March 26, 1930
Aachen, Germany
Kurt was born to Jewish parents in the city of Aachen, where his mother's family had resided since the 18th century. His father, though trained as a chef, worked as a butcher and also managed several stores for his father-in-law. The Paulys lived over one of those shops in the nearby suburb of Eilendorf. Kurt enjoyed large family gatherings, where he would play with his cousins, Anne and Margot Frank.
1933–39: When the Nazis came to power in 1933, the situation drastically changed for the Paulys. Brown-shirted storm troopers stood in front of the family's stores urging customers to boycott Jewish businesses. Worsening conditions forced the family to close its shops. In 1936 the Paulys immigrated to Palestine, where Kurt's father had a trucking business. Two years later, the family came to the United States, after receiving affidavits of financial support from friends. They settled in Cincinnati, Ohio, a city with a large German population.
1940–45: In Cincinnati, Kurt attended school and his father found work in a cafeteria peeling potatoes and onions. Later, Kurt's father became a chef at a local restaurant. As the war in Europe escalated, Kurt's parents grew ever more concerned about the family that they had to leave behind in Germany. His father had hoped to bring more of his relatives to the United States. In fall 1941, the Nazis prohibited Jews from leaving Germany and soon began deporting them to ghettos and killing centers in occupied eastern Europe.
After the war, Kurt learned that some of his closest relatives in Germany had perished in the Holocaust. In 1948 the Paulys moved to Vineland, New Jersey, where they bought a chicken farm. After serving in the U.S. Army during the Korean War, Kurt went on to graduate with honors from the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School of Business.

Five Postgame Takes
2. You had to love Sapp's titanic sacks. You had to love LaMont starting with an evasive two-step and finishing with a little guitar. You had to love Porter streaking down the sidelines, leaving Ms. Pac Man in the dust.
3. Randy Cross is just yet another hack in a long line of anti-Raiders television commentators. Their voices always rise a few octaves whenever events force them to actually praise the Raiders, probably because they're squirming in their seats. They're quick to criticize and generalize when it comes to the Raiders, but never canonize Raiders players like they do others (listening to the ESPN crew tonight, for example, they were about to elect Willis McGahee to the Hall of Fame for rushing for 130 yards and no touchdowns in a losing effort—I'm sure they would do the same for LaMont Jordan).
4. The Raiders and the Titans secondaries are young and relatively inexperienced. Fine, but if you've made it to the NFL, you should know how to tackle. That's a non-negotiable job requirement, isn't it? Do actors forget their lines after they've made it to Broadway? Shame on both teams. In terms of tackling, that was pathetic.
5. I said that after this game the Raiders would be 3-4, and so it is. After Sunday, the Chargers and Chiefs are definitely within our sights. The Broncos are playing out of their minds, but a visit to the Black Hole should cure that. Return to Glory: on schedule.

Drop 2 voicings are often made into this mysterious thing that is hard to practice and learn. Something that you have to spend months practicing to get into your playing and be able to use.
That is of course not true and in this video, I am going to show you some of the simple things you can practice, how to remember the chords and how you start using it in your playing.
It is about staying practical!
3 Types of Drop2 voicings
For this lesson I am using the song, Solar known as a Miles Davis Tune but it is actually written by Chuck Wayne.
First I am going to go over some voicings that we need to play the song. It really is just 2 sets of 4 voicings on the top strings and then a dim chord.
Then I am going to use those voicings to play through Solar and embellish the basic comping and show you how you can add to it yourself.
I will talk about why we use some voicings and explain it from a music theory point of view, but also a more visual description that really helps understanding and remembering the voicings.
Basic Set of Drop 2 Voicings
The m6 is a very useful voicing for three types of chords:
First we need a m6 voicing, that will also work as a m7b5 and a dom7 chord:
The m7 chord can be used for m7 but also maj7 chords:
The Voicings would be these:
Putting it to use on a Song
This first example of how to use the drop 2 voicings is using one voicing per chord. Everything is kept simple and I am using the same voicing sets for the II V I's in F and Eb major.
The II V I in Db is a little different because I want to move closer to where I will play the Dø.
This is about reusing as much as possible and playing music with only a few voicings. That way we have something to build from.
Progessions as building blocks, not chords
It is extremely important to start thinking in progressions more than single chords. If you do that then you can sum up a song in a few blocks where it might be twice or three times as many chords.
That is also what is clear in how I think in II V I progressions and treat them as one thing, more than separate chords.
Adding Melody – Making Music
The next step is to use the same chord voicings but now I am also using different top-note melodies to have some melody and variation in the comping.
From Chords to Musical Statements
The important part of adding more melodies and thinking more like a melody is that it is easier to comp in a way that responds and supports whoever you are playing chords for. Developing this skill is so essential, and it is important to remember that comping should be a piece of music, not just some chords on a groove.
Expanding What You can Play
Now that there are some melodic options and you probably have one voicing in your system then you can start adding voicings by using the surrounding inversions. An example of how that might work is shown below:

An Animated 'Transformers' Movie Is Coming From the Director of 'Toy Story 4'
One thing to keep in mind in the age of coronavirus: While live-action movies are shut down all over the world, production continues on animated movies, where it's much easier to socially distance and work from home. If the pandemic continues for a long time, we might see a significant increase in animated movies, as studios realize that's one of the few things they can keep safely making and releasing.
Case in point: Deadline reports that Paramount and Hasbro are pushing ahead with a new animated Transformers movie, the first for the big-screen since the 1980s. The new film will reportedly be an "origin story" set on Cybertron, and focus on the relationship between Optimus Prime and Megatron.
The studio even has an Oscar-winning director working on the project — Josh Cooley, who recently wrapped directing (and getting an Academy Award for) Toy Story 4. Cooley is reportedly "overseeing a final draft with the writers now." Those writers would be Andrew Barrer and Gabriel Ferrari, who worked on both Ant-Man films for Marvel.
The last time the Transformers were released in animated form on the big screen was 1986, when The Transformers: The Movie was unleashed on an unsuspecting generation of young fans. While the Saturday morning Transformers cartoon was intended for audiences of all ages, the movie version was far more intense, and featured the deaths of most of the classic Transformers cast, including the beloved (sob) Optimus Prime. As the guy who made the genuinely troubling Toy Story 4, Cooley is uniquely qualified to continue this important legacy of terrorizing small children with transforming robots.

Starving orangutans in Borneo may be teaching us new lessons about human evolution.
Orangutans in Borneo are poised on the edge of an ecological precipice, barely hanging on. (photo copyright Tim Laman)
Nathaniel Dominy, associate professor of anthropology, has been studying the dietary habits of these apes: what food they eat and how they digest it. "We are interested in how orangutans cope with food-limited environments because it may give us a glimpse into what early human ancestors were facing," Dominy explains. He and his colleagues report on a study of orangutans under dietary stress in Borneo in the December 14 online issue of Biology Letters, a journal of The Royal Society.
The apes that gave rise to the earliest human ancestors had teeth that are much like orangutan teeth. The resemblances are particularly strong between the teeth of the pre-human apes and those of the stressed animals living on Borneo. Dominy suggests that the orangutans' diet may have exerted a selective pressure on their molar teeth. If we understand the physical properties of their food, then we may have some idea of why humans evolved the teeth that we have.
The Borneo environment is stressful. The soil is not very fertile and plants crop unpredictably, only producing quantities of fruit every four or five years. When they do bear fruit, the whole forest produces at once. The animals gorge themselves, put on fat, and then live off these reserves for the next three to four years. Unchecked logging that is reducing orangutan habitat worsens this already inhospitable situation.
Orangutans prefer ripe, soft, juicy fruits but during the "off-years" on Borneo when nothing else is available, the orangs resort to eating very hard and tough foods. Dominy describes how they rip bark off trees and eat the starchy tissues behind the bark. They will also eat very hard seeds. This far less nutritious diet seems to supply just enough protein to survive.
The five-year study described in the Biology Letters paper documents the adaptive metabolism of these apes in these protein-deficient hard times. Orangutan urine was collected on Borneo and analyzed for dietary markers, such as ketones, which increase when the body breaks down fat for energy. When fruit abundance was lowest, the ketones surged, demonstrating that the animals were burning their fat reserves—using more energy than they were taking in. As long as the fat holds out, the situation is tolerable.
When body fat is depleted, the next stage is cannibalizing muscle tissue. Elevated nitrogen isotopes in the urine of some individuals indicate that muscle wasting was indeed a source of the protein that kept the animals alive.

Professor Dominy considers the lean years for orangutans on Borneo to be a selective pressure that led to evolutionary adaptations since the population became isolated 400,000 years ago. He argues that the larger molars and more robust jaws among the Borneo orangutans developed in response to the hard, tough foods they consumed during the periods between fruit availability—an enduring adaptation to an occasional situation.
Recent studies of wear patterns on the huge molars of early hominids suggest that they only ate a more physically challenging diet some of the time. These hominids may be displaying an adaptation that helped them to get through evolutionary pinch points, similar to what the orangs encounter.
Our ancestors experienced selective pressure favoring adaptations to hard objects, but it's possible that they didn't eat hard objects consistently.
"Perhaps the hard objects were things they ate only very occasionally under ecological duress," Dominy muses. "It is not what they ate regularly that matters. It is what they were eating during crunch times. Because they routinely go through these dire times, orangutans may be a good model for what happened to human ancestors in deep time."

It all began tonight with an NPR article about Huntington's disease. Charles Sabine, a famous journalist, had a family history of HD and decided to undergo genetic testing. The test revealed that he will inevitably die from the genetic mutation and its horrific outcome. I continued reading and was brought to tears about how he and his wife decided to conceive "anyway". They decided to have their 17-month-old daughter tested as well, and – thankfully – discovered that she does not have the mutation.
This all got me thinking about the courses that I've taken in which genetic testing, and the bioethics that come along with it, came up. I always enjoyed the debates and controversy over it all. I thought, "Hey, that's interesting- these people have a chance to know their fate, in a way. They should take advantage of recent scientific advances and get that figured out right away!" I began thinking again about selective abortion in cases such as Down's syndrome, in which a pregnant woman can know with certainty that her child will have the disorder.
It all got worse, however, when the topic hit Home.
I suddenly heard the familiar voices of family members wagging their fingers and advising me to get genetic testing. You see, I have a pretty long list to check off when it comes to my family health history. When I visit a medical office for the first time, it's not the burden of the time that it takes to fill out the forms, nor the shame that accompanies answering such intrusive questions for complete strangers to read, that bothers me. It's the worry that overcomes me when glancing at my chart once it's filled out! I've got a history of it all: diabetes, heart disease, epilepsy, brain aneurysm, stroke, AND breast cancer (there's probably even more).
My mother is a breast cancer survivor and, ironically, an ex- mammogram technician. When I was in high school and she was only about 40 years old, my Mom underwent radiation therapy and a double mastectomy. Now, I won't get into the trauma that our family incurred as a result; there are countless similar stories on the Internet for you to sob through. The point is that it has left me terrified of cancer and the fact that I am at elevated risk.
Anyway, my habitual glance at the front page of NPR led to a tidal wave of emotion and a frantic series of google queries. Back at age 20, I asked my doctor when I could get my earliest mammogram, considering my family history. Two women staffers debated about it, and eventually declared "35" an appropriate age. Shit, I felt like I deserved one right then and there….

2021 CMA Awards: Top 5 Moments From a Truly Unpredictable Show
This list of the Top 5 moments from the 2021 CMA Awards shows how even the same cast of characters can reveal big surprises if you let them. The lineup was not one that teased twists and turns, and it was difficult to make a case for any upset CMA winners.
Yet, there we were at the end of the night, crying with Carly Pearce as she struggled to put two words together while accepting Female Vocalist of the Year.
Luke Bryan — typically as safe of a country personality as you'll find — offered a real zinger during his monologue. Chris Stapleton joined Jennifer Hudson and might have been outperformed. That's no knock on him, but holy moly did she ever bring the country congregation to its knees singing Aretha Franklin songs.
At the end of the night, it was Luke Combs holding the Entertainer of the Year trophy. This was the one, truly hard to predict category, because all five artists were so equally deserving. But if you weren't surprised Combs won, was clear he was. Yet again, an artist struggled to find the words to deliver a complete thank you speech.
None of these moments are the No. 1 moment from the 2021 CMAs, though — for that, you'll need to watch the video above or scroll through the list, but we'll tease you by saying it was the other truly inspiring moment from the ABC broadcast.
Did you have a favorite CMA moment? Were you just glad to see traditional country music get some love?

This interview with America's Survival President Cliff Kincaid aired on AS's Roku channel April 24, 2014. In discussing homosexuality and pedophilia, Kincaid references a video by homosexual Walter Lee Hampton complaining about seeing so many homosexual men in thir 30's, 40's and even 50's in sexual relationships with minor boys [go HERE to view]. At about 17:45 the discussion shifts to LaBarbera recounting his run-in with Canada's homosexuality-affirming "hate" politics, culminating in his arrest for protesting peacefully with Bill Whatcott at University of Regina, in Satchatchewan. [Go HERE to watch this on YouTube.] America's Survival writes:
Pedophiles Exposed! Peter LaBarbera on Gay Media Power
The mother of the alleged victim of a powerful Hollywood pedophile ring says she tried for years to interest the media in the story. Michael Egan's mother Bonnie Mound said, "I wrote every news channel, every magazine, every talk show host, everybody, from Oprah to '20/20' to '60 Minutes'…. Nobody wanted to do anything because of the high-profile people involved." Although Egan attorney Jeff Herman said the suits are not about homosexuality, but rather pedophilia and child abuse, Peter LaBarbera of the group Americans for Truth notes that the founder of the modern gay rights movement, Harry Hay, was a communist who supported the North American Man-Boy Love Association (NAMBLA). LaBarbera was recently arrested and jailed in Canada for distributing pro-family values literature on the campus of the University of Regina in Saskatchewan, Canada.

Rebuild Hair Program Review
Hair Loss Protocol claims to be the new cure for bald spots and successful program that helps you rebuild hair. It claims to use 100% natural techniques to improve the thickness, fullness, and health of your hair.
When we began doing our personal due diligence about this specific hair-regrowth system, we had to watch this video first in order to grasp all of the process on how exactly to rebuild and regrow lost hair. (it takes time but it warms up well)
It is no secret that balding is one of the world's most frustrating and embarrassing cosmetic problems. The American Hair Loss Association claims that by the age of 35, two-thirds of men will have experienced some degree of noticeable hair loss. By the age of 50, 85% of men have "significantly thinning" hair.
Many people are also surprised to learn that women are responsible for about 40% of hair loss cases: so it's not exclusively a male problem.
Will Hair Loss Protocol really help you reclaim the full head of hair you had in your 20s?
Find out what Jerry Williams' Rebuild Hair Program is and how it works today in our Hair Loss Protocol review.
What is Hair Loss Protocol?
Hair Loss Protocol was created by a guy named Jared Gates. Jared claims that he was able to reclaim his full head of hair after using certain natural techniques.
He collected these natural techniques into an e-book called "The Rebuild Hair Program." Today, Gates is selling his e-book online.
The e-book is officially called "The Rebuild Hair Program", although that term is used interchangeably with Hair Loss Protocol to describe the collection of lessons within the e-book.
How Does the Hair Loss Protocol Work?
Gates claims that his techniques are 100% natural and effective. They're not painful and expensive like hair transplants. Hair transplants are currently the most popular and effective cure for balding.
The Hair Loss Protocol builds its success off one concept: the cause of balding isn't aging or genetics. Instead, it's a "bizarre steroid" your body is producing inside of you all the time.
According to Gates, this steroid travels through your bloodstream "like a lethal dose of poison", putting men at a severe risk for prostate cancer. When this poison reaches your hair follicles, it destroys them at the source, ensuring that they never produce hair again.
That "poison" is DHT. Hair Loss Protocol explains that "virtually all scientists now believe DHT to be the overwhelming cause of all hair loss."
The Rebuild Hair Program / Hair Loss Protocol works by using natural herbs, foods, and supplements to restrict your body's production of DHT. I'll explain more below.
At the official Hair Loss Protocol website, you can see the official pictures of a number of men and women – including Gates himself – who have reportedly experienced success with the Hair Loss Protocol. There are "before" pictures showing large bald spots and "after" pictures showing a full head of healthy hair.
What is DHT?
DHT is the "poison" that the Rebuild Hair Program believes causing balding. DHT stands for dihydrotestosterone. It's a male sex hormone, or androgen.
Our bodies synthesize DHT from an enzyme called 5-alpha reductase (The Rebuild Hair Program calls this chemical "5AR"). When 5-alpha reductase arrives in the adrenal glands, hair follicles, testes, and prostate, our bodies transform it into DHT.
Our hair follicles and testosterone production are closely linked. The most important part of the hair follicle is the dermal papilla, which is found at the very base of the hair follicle. The dermal papilla has a large number of androgen receptors (males have more receptors than females).
Healthy hair follicles go through a normal cycle of resting and growth. When we're eating a healthy diet, our growth cycles tend to be longer than the resting cycles, leading to healthy hair growth. This is a must do no matter which supplements or programs you follow, even ones that are all-natural and proven to work like Procerin (men) and Keranique (women).
When DHT arrives at the dermal papilla, it inhibits the dermal papilla's ability to absorb nutrients, which means our hair follicles are spending more time resting than growing.
DHT has been extensively studied over the years. This isn't some breakthrough treatment or breaking news about balding: as Hair Loss Protocol explains, it's widely accepted that DHT plays a crucial role in balding.
Higher levels of DHT have been shown to increase your likelihood of balding while also enlarging the prostate. Clearly, these are two things you don't want.
Does the Rebuild Hair Program Really Inhibit Your Body's DHT Production?
Hair Loss Protocol / The Rebuild Hair Program claims to inhibit your body's production of 5-alpha reductase. As we learned in the section above, 5-alpha reductase is used to synthesize DHT in your body.
Hair Loss Protocol claims to do that by using minerals, vegetables, herbs, and vitamins that have been shown to naturally inhibit the body's 5-alpha reductase production. This is a little different approach to the Restore Lost Hair program by Jerry Williams.
Jared Gates, the guy who wrote the Rebuild Hair Program, claims that he meticulously researched all of these foods and supplements and took notes of which ones were more effective than others.
Eventually, he collected all of these notes into an e-book along with the specific daily recommended amounts and the most effective foods to eat.
Foods that Inhibit DHT Production
The key idea behind The Rebuild Hair Program is that certain foods block the enzyme 5AR, thereby reducing DHT production.
A quick Google search for "foods that inhibit DHT" comes up with some suggested foods. Specifically, phytosterols and biotin both reduce levels of DHT within your system by inhibiting the enzyme 5-alpha reductase. Research by the Linus Pauling Institute and Medline Plus actually suggested that certain foods containing these chemicals could be cures for balding.
You can get phytosterols from wheat germ, sesame oil, olive oil, peanuts, almonds, and Brussels sprouts. You can get biotin from egg yolk, whole wheat bread, cheddar cheese, pork, salmon, raspberries, and avocado.
You can expect to see these foods and others in The Rebuild Hair Program.
Hair Loss Protocol Versus Other Cures for Balding
Balding is a serious problem which afflicts millions of men and women all over the world. Obviously, Hair Loss Protocol isn't the first cure for balding ever released.
In fact, the Hair Loss Protocol website directly compares itself to other popular cures for balding, including hair transplants and Rogaine.
Rogaine is a topical treatment method which is applied to the head every day. The company claims that results can take up to 4 months to appear. Rogaine costs about $40 per month for treatment, which works out to about $500 per year. However, the worst part about Rogaine is that it rarely works as promised: most users experience some hair regrowth, but it doesn't look much better than being totally bald.
Rogaine also requires users to continue applying Rogaine for the rest of their lives: otherwise, the hair will fall back out once again.
Hair transplants, on the other hand, are major surgeries. During hair transplant surgery, the surgeon slices off about 4 inches of the scalp before injecting hair grafts into the head. The treatment is painful and expensive, costing around $10,000 in total.
Hair Loss Protocol claims that it has two major advantages over Rogaine, hair transplants, and other cures for balding:
— Hair Loss Protocol is cheaper
— Hair Loss Protocol is more effective
However, there's a third category of balding cures that Jared Gates conveniently forgets to mention: drugs known as 5-alpha reductase inhibitors are commonly sold as cures for balding. The two most popular 5-alpha reductase inhibitors include Dutasteride and Finasteride.
Both of these drugs offer powerful ways to reduce DHT levels in your body, although they can also lead to other side effects. Side effects include a diminished sex drive, male breast cancer risk, and erectile dysfunction. In other words, you'll feel the effects of lower testosterone.
Anyways, these 5-alpha reductase inhibitors work in a similar way to The Rebuild Hair Program, although they work in a much more powerful way.
Why is The Rebuild Hair Program Being Sold as an E-Book?
One of the first questions people ask about The Rebuild Hair Program is why it's being sold as a $40 e-book online. Why aren't doctors recommending this treatment program to people who suffer from balding – or as a way to reduce the risk of prostate cancer?
Jared Gates, the creator of Hair Loss Protocol, has thought of a clever rebuttal for this.
Gates actually claims to have met with "the dean of one of the most prestigious medical research universities in the world." During this meeting, Gates says he presented hundreds of slides about the lessons contained in The Rebuild Hair Program.
The dean was impressed. However, the dean said that he would never help Gates publish his work. Why not? Apparently, the dean said that hair loss is a multi-billion dollar industry and low testosterone therapy is a multi-billion dollar industry. He also said that the cancer industry is worth about $250 billion per year.
Apparently, since universities take billions of dollars in donations from the pharmaceutical industry, the dean was unable to publish this. Otherwise, funding for the university's medical departments would disappear overnight. Jared calls this dean an "idiot academic."
This seems like an odd thing for a dean to discuss with a guy who just walked in through the door with a cure for balding. But hey, that's how Gates explains his side of the story.

Conclusion: Who Should Take Hair Loss Protocol?
When you get past all the sales hype, you get this: The Rebuild Hair Program / Hair Loss Protocol is a list of foods which have been tentatively linked to reduce levels of DHT within your body. Lowering levels of DHT may be able to reduce your risk of balding and prostate cancer.
Jared Gates, the creator of this program, states that the foods and supplements listed will inhibit DHT production in the body. DHT is widely thought to be the primary cause of balding in men and women.
In The Rebuild Hair Program, you'll find a step by step guide explaining which foods to take and in which amounts. There's no scientific evidence stating that these foods reduce your risk of balding.
Like many online Clickbank e-books, however, The Rebuild Hair Program comes with a 60 day money back guarantee. That gives you more than enough time to see if this program works for you.
