Last month in NY, I started reading Kevin Trudeau's Natural Cures They Don't Want You To Know About and I thought why the heck didn't I read this book earlier on? It could have saved us lots of $$$ in prescription drugs and hospitalization. I remember requesting it from our library in Canada back in 2008 but forgot to claim it when it was finally available. And then I came across Joe Vitale's blogpost about Kevin's new program and I was reminded to try borrowing Natural Cures from NY library. There were a lot of holds on the book and it took more than a month before I finally got it.
Here's what I can say about the book: It's a MUST read, particularly if you are on prescription drugs. The book is jam-packed with so much useful information. It actually gave me a headache reading the first few chapters coz Kevin was ranting on and on about how and why the government, the Food and Drug Administration, the Federal Trade Commission and other organizations and entities were trying to hide and suppress these natural cures for almost every disease, including cancer, from the public.
But I actually admire Kevin's passion about his fight. I love his chant "I'm mad as hell and I won't take it anymore". I wish I have even an ounce of his passion in any endeavor I undertake. That would probably make me achieve more goals in life.
There was a Chapter in his book devoted to WEIGHT LOSS and I thought it would be nice to blog about it. A lot of people I know and personally want to reach out to would NOT bother buying this book for some reasons, so, I have painstakingly typed this whole section manually because I sincerely want this info to be out and available for them to read every now and then. I hope I am not violating any copyrights law by doing so.
I HIGHLY recommend that you go buy the book, or borrow it from your library because there are tons of information on the book that you would not want to miss out.
1. DRINK A GLASS OF WATER IMMEDIATELY UPON ARISING – Ideally, the water should be distilled. Absolutely no tap water. This starts the body's metabolism and cleansing.
2. EAT A BIG BREAKFAST – It's interesting to know that 80% of people who are overweight eat a small breakfast or none at all. 80% of thin people eat a large breakfast. Your breakfast should consist of as much as you want of any of the following items in any combination. Everything listed should be organic. Apples, pears, berries, kiwis, pineapples, grapefruit, plums, peaches, prunes, figs, rye bread, raw butter (now raw means not pasteurized or not homogenized), raw milk, plain raw yogurt (this means no sugar, no fruit), wild smoked salmon, beef in any form, eggs (as long as they're organic. They can't be pasteurized. They're gonna be organic, farm, fertile free–ranged eggs). Again, the beef has to be organic, chicken in any form as long as they're organic, lamb in any form as long as it's organic, tuna, sardines, tomatoes, peppers, salsa, celery, carrots, any vegetable, potatoes in limited amount, coffee in limited amount (made with pure water, not tap water), you can use raw milk or cream, and raw evaporated sugar cane juice or honey as a sweetener, or real tea not tea in tea bags. I'm talking real leaf tea.
3. DRINK 8 GLASSES OF DISTILLED WATER EACH DAY – People think drinking water will make them gain weight and be bloated. The exact opposite is true. If you're overweight, you need to flush out the toxins from your fat cells. Water is absolutely necessary to help you lose weight.
4. WALK FOR AT LEAST ONE HOUR NON-STOP PER DAY - The body is designed to walk. Research shows that slow-rhythmic movement exercise such as walking resets your body's weight set point and creates a thin lean body. A 1-hour walk everyday will change your body dramatically in as little as one month.
Now if you didn't do anything else except the things I just said, it's pretty easy to do maybe for the walking somebody might say "Oh, I can't do that". If you just do those 4 steps, in 30 days you're gonna lose so much weight, it'll blow you out. Just those four. Let's carry on.
5. DO NOT EAT AFTER 6:00 P.M. – Now, do this the best you can. However, the good news is you can virtually eat like a pig all day long. If you stop eating at 6 o'clock and don't eat after 6:00, you will lose weight dramatically.
6. DO A CANDIDA CLEANSE – If you are overweight, you positively, absolutely have a candida yeast overgrowth. I can guarantee it. It's probably not only in your colon xxx it's through your entire body. Losing weight will be hard and slow, and keeping it off nearly impossible as long as the candida overgrowth exists. If you wipe off the excess candida, losing weight will be easier and virtually effortless and keeping it off will be a breeze. You must get the book Life Force which explains the candida cleansing process. That's the best one that I recommend. There are dozens of candida cleanses. You get information in a health food store. The best cleanse that I recommend is in Life Force. You can go to naturalcures.com or call our 800 number which is 800-931-4721. If you're not in America, you can look in the book for the international number or go to naturalcures.com to get that book, but you've got to get rid of that candida.
7. DO A COLON CLEANSE – If you are overweight, I guarantee you that your digestive system is slow and sluggish. Unless you have 2 or 3 bowel movements, you are, in fact, constipated. Cleansing the colon will dramatically increase your metabolism and you can lose up to 10 pounds by simply getting rid of the embedded toxins and fecal matter in your colon. There are many colon cleansing programs available. You can inquire in your local health food store or for my personal recommendations, go to naturalcures.com
8. EAT ORGANIC GRAPEFRUITS ALL DAY – Remember the grapefruit diet? Well it appears that there's actually enzyme in grapefruits that actually burns fat. I happen to hate grapefruits, I can't eat them. I just don't like them. But eating grapefruits all day as many and as often as you desire will absolutely speed the fat-burning process. Organic grapefruits. The more, the better. All day.
9. ABSOLUTELY NO ASPARTAME OR ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS – Aspertame which goes by the name Nutrasweet will make you fat. All other artificial sweeteners including saccharine, Splenda or anything else, sucrulose, should be avoided. If you want the full story, read the 2 books Aspartame Isn't Safe and Excidal Toxin: A Taste That Kills. You can get information on those books from naturalcures.com or call our 800 number.
10. ABSOLUTELY NO MONOSODIUM GLUTAMATE (MSG) – MSG is an excidal toxin. It makes you fat, causes all kinds of medical problems and can affect your mood, making you depressed which makes you eat more. It can also be physically addicting, like aspartame, and actually make you hungrier. Unfortunately, the food industry has lobbied Congress to pass law allowing monosodium glutamate to be put in the food and not listed on the labels. There are dozens of words that can be on the label such as spices artificial flavoring, hydrolyzed vegetable protein, etc. that are in fact MSG in disguise. This is why buying organic food where everything listed in the ingredient list is something that you can recognize and can pronounce is so important. Also MSG is in virtually all fastfood restaurants including things you would never imagine like pizza. In the pizza sauce, they put MSG. In the breads and various places, they can put MSG. This is why people in foreign countries eat all kinds of food and never get fat. It's not so much the kind of food or the fat or the calories of the carbohydrates but the chemical ingredients used in the American food processing.
11. TAKE DIGESTIVE ENZYMES – If you are overweight there is an excellent chance your body is not producing enough digestive enzymes causing you to gain weight, feel bloated, have gas, indigestion and constipation. Go to your health food store and inquire. Try several kinds to see which one works best for you. For my personal recommendations of digestive enzymes, go to natural cures.com
12. ABSOLUTELY NO DIET SODAS OR DIET FOOD – Diet sodas have been called the new 'crack' because they appear to be so physically addicting. Now that's what the food manufacturers want. They want you to be physically addicted to their products. They actually make you fatter. The reason that they are promoted so heavily is because people become physically addicted to them and they are cheaper to make than regular sodas. I did an interesting experiment with people who drank diet sodas on a regular basis. For 2 weeks, they replaced their diet soda with regular high-calorie, sugar-sweetened soda. Amazingly, no one gained any weight. Even more shocking was 80% of the people actually lost weight. 1 person lost 7 pounds. It was stunning to me. Diet food falls into the same category. Do not eat anything that is being presented as diet or weight-loss food. They are loaded with chemical ingredients that will actually make you fatter and make you physically addicted.
13. NO FASTFOOD OR CHAIN RESTAURANT – Any restaurant that's a chain or franchise or that sells fastfood produces their food in such a way that it is absolutely, guaranteed to make you fat. You can actually eat French fries and cheeseburgers and lose weight provided that the ingredients that you use are all organic and contain no chemical additives. So, if you make it at home, it's ok. But it's virtually impossible to eat food in a chain restaurant or franchised restaurant or where the food has not been processed to last for years without spoiling. The food has to be produced as cheaply as possible for the companies to make money. They must add chemicals to make the food taste great and get you physically addicted. This food also has been produced to increase your appetite and make you fatter. Remember, these are businesses whose only objective is to make a profit. If the food tastes amazing, gets you physically addicted to it, increases your appetite, and makes you fatter, the restaurant is assured a success. They're like drug dealers getting their customers hooked on their product. The customers can't get enough and become so addicted that they keep coming back for more. This is the sad truth of what's happening in our food industry today. When you don't eat a certain kind of food you feel bad and as soon as you eat it you feel better. 'Oh I feel ok now'. That's a drug folks, that's a drug. And that's what the food industry is doing.
14. NO HIGH-FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP – This sweetener makes you fat and is physically addictive. Just stop buying food at the supermarket. Go to health food store or a whole food type store or farmer's market instead. In my personal opinion, do not buy food that is manufactured by any large, publicly traded companies. Do not buy brand name food. Do not buy food that's advertised on television. The profit-motive is so high you can be assured that it's not good for you. The sweeteners that are used in food produced in a natural way include organic honey, organic molasses, organic fruit juice, organic dates, the herb stevia, evaporated sugar-cane juice, etc. Simply read the labels. If you can't pronounce it, don't buy it.
15. NO WHITE SUGAR OR WHITE FLOUR – White sugar is, in fact, physically addicting and makes you fat. However, it's still better than any artificial man-made sweetener. If you want to sweeten something use the recommendations I listed above. Sugar should be your last option. Artificial sweetener should NOT be an option at all. White flour, as I mentioned earlier, when mixed with water makes paste. Eating white flour makes you fat. It can also be addicting. It clogs up your digestive system slowing down your metabolism. Use organic whole grain flours. It had not been processed or stripped off the fiber.
16. EAT ORGANIC APPLES ALL DAY – The old saying is true. An apple a day keeps the doctor away. Apples are loaded with fiber nutrients. They normalize your blood sugar and decrease your appetite. You should at least eat one apple every single day. The more apples you eat, the better.
17. EAT ONLY ORGANIC MEAT, POULTRY AND FISH – One of the reasons you're overweight is because of the growth hormones put in meat and poultry. If you wanna lose weight, eat as much meat and poultry as you like as long as they're organic, grass-fed, ideally kosher, and most importantly, have not been given growth hormone. The fish you eat should not be farm-raised.
18. LIMIT DAIRY PRODUCTS – If you're going to consume milk, cheese butter or any dairy products, eat only organic products that had not been pasteurized or homogenized. The dairy product should be labeled organic and raw. It may be hard to find raw dairy products in some parts of the country. The next best option is organic but not homogenized, but that has been pasteurized. Well, you're looking at 3 things here. There's homogenization, pasteurization and organic, ok? If it's organic and raw, that means it's organic, raw. It's not homogenized, it's not pasteurized. If you can't find raw, then make sure it's at least organic, ok? And ideally, not homogenized and not pasteurized. But some of it is gonna be homogenized, and some it's gonna be pasteurized, but at least get organic. But ideally, raw. Once it's homogenized and pasteurized, really you should stay away from it coz it's just gonna make you fatter, ok? That's the bottom line. If you wanna lose weight, reduce dairy regardless of what you're getting. Definitely, absolutely do not consume any dairy products that are not organic because they will have growth hormone in them and that will slow your weight loss.
19. DO A LIVER CLEANSE – If you are overweight, I guarantee, absolutely 100% your liver is all messed up and clogged. Get the book The Liver Cleansing Diet. You can go to naturalcures.com and get the information on that. Or you can go to health food store and say "Are there some liver cleanses I can do?" and there are some products you can take.
20. EAT A BIG, HUGE SALAD AT LUNCH AND DINNER – I didn't say only. But eat a big, huge salad made with organic ingredients. I don't care if your lunch is a cheeseburger, french fries and a pint of ice cream. Add to it a big, huge salad and eat that first. You'll be amazed how you lose weight. Now the salad can contain anything you like as long as it's only vegetables and they are all organic. The salad dressing should be organic, extra-virgin, raw olive oil, and freshly-squeezed lemon juice or organic vinegar. If you really wanna speed the weight loss process, use organic apple-cider vinegar. Add some organic sea salt, some fresh ground pepper and garlic to taste. That's your salad.
21. REBOUND- A rebounder or mini-trampoline allows you to stimulate and strengthen every cell in the body simultaneously. Gently jumping up and down on a rebounder for just 10 minutes a day stimulates the lymphatic system and increases your metabolism. It's very effective for health and weight-loss.
22. ADD HOT PEPPERS – Anything spicy or hot will increase your metabolism and make you burn fat quicker. Imagine for breakfast, having some scrambled, organic, farm fresh, fertile eggs, some lamb chops that you've fried up in some organic raw butter or olive oil, some organic rye toast with some organic raw butter on it, and then you smother the eggs with some organic hot salsa. You'll lose weight fast, you're eating wonderful food but the organic hot salsa adds the hot pepper increase your metabolism. You lose weight quicker.
23. USE ORGANIC APPLE-CIDER VINEGAR – This has some magical property which helps eliminate fat cells from the body. Take a couple of teaspoons before each meal and you'll be amazed at how your clothes become bigger in virtually no time at all.
24. BREATHE – Oxygen burns fat. Most people do not breathe enough to stimulate their metabolism and fat-burning capability. There are several great videos which teach various breathing techniques that are simple and quick to do and that can help you lose weight faster. If you want more information go to a health food store or go to naturalcures.com.
25. WEAR MAGNETIC FINGER RINGS – Special magnet rings worn on the little finger while you sleep can have amazing results and increase in metabolism, making you look younger, feel better, eliminating pain and make you lose weight. Go to naturalcures.com for the information on those.
26. GET 15 COLONICS IN 15 DAYS – This process will clean your colon making it easier for your body to assimilate nutrients. This reduces hunger and increases metabolism. Colonics also allow your body to digest food faster so that it will not turn into fat.
27. ADD MUSCLE – Muscle burn fat. When you add muscle through exercise, you are increasing your body's metabolism and making it easier for you to lose weight and keep it off. Plus, you'll look a lot better. The best way to do this is yoga, pilates, Chinese kung fu, or ay old fashioned basic exercise. There are great videos and books I recommend regarding exercise that work better than others. Go to naturalcures.com for all the recommendation.
28. FAST – This should be number 1 but for most people this is the hardest thing to do to go on proper 21-day fast so I give this to you last, but it's highly recommended. Going on a proper juice fast for 21 days will completely detoxify you body, flush fat cells and reset your body's weight set point. It's one of the fastest ways to lose weight, one of the most effective ways to change the body's set point so that you will not gain the weight back. This should be done under supervision depending upon your medical condition. The best book I know is The Miracle of Juice Fasting. There are a lot of other great fasting books but I happen to like that one.
29. CHEAT WHENEVER YOU WANT – Listen, if you want ice cream, cookies, cakes, chocolate, pizza, french fries, potato chips .. fine. Don't deprive yourself. It's better to eat something without guilt than not eat something and feel bad about it. From best to worst, it looks like this. I'll give you few examples. (oh, just read the book. It's just too much to type here. I'm getting tired transcribing.)
30. REDUCE OR ELIMINATE THE UNCONTROLLABLE URGE TO EAT WHEN YOU'RE NOT HUNGRY – Remember, censorship is alive and well in America. The FTC filed a suit against me and has forbidden me from saying my opinions on how a person can eliminate addictions and uncontrollable urges to eat. And you thought there was free speech in America. If the First Amendment of the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, were actually true, I would be able to state my opinions and conclusions on the subject. I can't. However, if you are an emotional eater and have uncontrollable urges and compulsions to eat when you're not hungry, you need to get the book Tapping The Healer Within (xxx)
It's amazing that little things can make a huge difference. When looking at the list that I just gave you, a good way to attack it is to pick one thing on the list that's easy for you, and just do that for one day. Then look at another thing on the list, and while still doing the first one, add the second. Do both of those until you feel comfortable with adding something else. Keep in mind that in items at the top of the list are the most powerful and will create the fastest results. These techniques absolutely work. You can lose weight faster and easier than ever before and keep it off. You can reset your body's set point. xxx

10 Ways to Reconnect With Your Writing Core-The "Roar" Series Presents Noelle Sterne
Depressed about your writing? Buried under an avalanche of rejections? Ready to unsubscribe from your own email and pursue a career in dry wall?
What you need is to reconnect with your writing core.
If you feel you don't have one, you do. If you feel you haven't written enough to deserve one, you qualify anyway.
Your writing core doesn't care how much or what you write—poetry, publicity releases, or plumbing manuals. It doesn't test, screen, require a resume, or demand membership dues. It never asks hard questions like how much you've published, what awards you've won, or what you've earned this year from writing.
How do you get to your writing core? You don't need to meditate bare-chested in frigid temperatures. Or trek through some brow-scorching wilderness on your knees. Or walk without socks on a bed of nails even an enlightened master would reject.
It's much simpler. Wherever you are—right now—you can find your writing core. Even though you may not yet be certain what it is, like every other writer, you have experienced it.
But this doesn't mean your writing core is accessible at the snap of a pencil. It's more than our fantasies of book tours and talk shows, more than our January sworn oath to write 20 pages a day, and more than the uncontrollable grin when we manage to get something published. Our writing core hides beneath all our reasons, promised self-discipline, and dreams of reward.
Our writing core is different for each of us, and we may not easily be able to label it. But when you reach it, you'll recognize it like a longlost childhood doll.
Our writing core is what makes us write.
Sometimes we don't need to invoke it consciously. It bubbles up joyfully, sending us bounding to our computer, typewriter, clipboard, yellow pad, spiral notebook, or the nearest used napkin. Other times, our core knocks, nudges, pulls, or shames us into punching off the TV, despite the hot new cable movie, and go tussle with our manuscript.
But at more desperate hours, our core seems to dive deep underwater, allowing only tantalizing glimpses, like lightning fish darting through coral. Our core submerges when yet another rejection arrives of that most cherished, labored-over piece. Or we've inexplicably lost all interest in the work that so fired us up last week. Or we get a great idea but haven't a clue where to begin.
At such times, to get going again, we must tap more consciously into our writing core. How?
Most of the time, our connection is haphazard, the result of combined lamentation, supplication to the god of abandoned writers, and decimation of a two-pound bag of corn chips. But this approach can take days, weeks, or months, and gain you 30 pounds.
There's a better, more conscious way to reconnect with your writing core. It's much less damaging and much more quickly reviving than all that weeping and munching.
1. Stop trying to write. Stop telling yourself you have to. If you miss a few days, you won't be destroyed or condemned to eternal block.
2. Go to a quiet spot, with no disturbances of kids, neighbors, phone, stereo, or reality shows. Take a few deep breaths. Relax.
3. Let your mind go back to a time you really enjoyed writing. Maybe it was two years ago, last month, or yesterday. What were you working on? What materials were you using?
4. Reconstruct that experience. Where were you? What was the physical setting like? How were you dressed? See yourself writing in that environment. Replay it.
5. How did you feel? Don't try to force the memories or bully them into being. They haven't been lost. If you're quiet and patient, they'll emerge.
6. Live those feelings. Re-experience them. Feel your ideas flowing, fingers again moving, singing on the page.
7. As you allow these thoughts, pictures, and feelings to surface, you'll start sensing something. It will stir in you, as excitement, maybe, a physical sensation, a desire, a word, phrase, or image.
8. Whatever arises, give it time. You'll know it . . . .
You've reached your writing core.
9. Bask in your core. Let it move you, as naturally as a cat stretching in the sun.
10. And then, gently, without hurry, listen as it tells you what to write. No judgments. If it's a current project, fine. If it's a journal entry, fine. If it's a long-delayed letter, also fine.
You've reawakened your writing core. And whatever your lapses, it cannot be lost. It's always within you, ready to support, sustain, and guide.
So, when you feel frustrated, bored, hopeless, or any of the other buzzing self-disparagements that swarm in our heads, don't despair. Wherever you are, just stop, sit quietly, breathe, and let yourself remember. And as surely as you blink in the first morning light, you'll reconnect with your writing core.

Allow me to start the "discussion" by thanking Noelle for this great read and for her valuable insight.ReplyDelete
Truly inspiring. Just what I needed. Thanks Noelle, and thanks Jennifer, for sharing Noelle's post.ReplyDelete
Noelle, you hooked me with #1. I have recently learned this. "Stop trying to write," speaks to me. When I walk away for an hour or a day, I return refreshed. Thank you for all the advice especially, "gently, and without judgment". I enjoyed this post. Thanks, Jennifer.ReplyDelete
Many thanks to you all. I too need these ten reminders. And now, I'm walking away from the computer.ReplyDelete

Anybody care to talk about insulin sensitivity?
What about it?
Co-Promoter of the NPC "Royal Palm Classic"
I have been a 5-10 and under to often zero a day COMPLEX carber for years. I have most often had amazing abs that besides a serious ab-specific training program, I attibute mainly to having and maintaining such a clean digestive tract troughout as much of my 24 hr day as i can.
I have never competed in Bodybuliding nor have i ever wanted prior to the past 8 mths on any solid decision, to gain massive amounts of muscle, so much as just be dense and functional.. so i'm still pretty tiny and I am fml.
I am just about to come into a new program where I plan to cycle 4 weeks of as many days of as close to 600 grams ( at this stage) of which atm i plan to make up with various chain WM & Barley products/ yams/ a medium chain carb formular ( with reasonable fat content) and then whatever fruit and veg i do on top of that.. plenty of watermelon / additional fibre supplement varied fluids of varied ph and temperature + maybe 4 x / day bcaa sup to buffer the insulin along wih my regular whey protein and milk and juices ..
and then 4 weeks of nooo complex carbs and no fat but plenty of fruictose to rip back down and cleanse my tract with so i'm still able to work my abdominals deep enough and from ranges lengths and directions that will still give me my privatelty fabulous abdominals.. which if I thought i would loose.. I would abort on.
I think the key to that many carbs and still being able to rip and work deep enough through the abs .. and for everything that means to the rest of my other body part training , is the types of carb chains that you do it on.
I have no idea if I can pull this off, but if i do,.. i am winning each of those that damming competitions i have my eye on and at this stage I am feeling okay to go ahead.
Particularly after Layne's article, I dont think i will maintain that for more than a few years before i let myself shrink again and resume my regular program and lighter denser frame and maybe find a new challenge. So much fun. I wish me 'luck' and same to you. 1000 is just crazy. I hope it works out for you .
Blooming tianshi lotus.
im on 135 carbs and only 100 grams of protein......i know wtf. Im a 155 pound woman...im thinking this guy who wrote my diet doesn't know what hes doing....shouldn't my protein be a little higher????? im scared im going to lose muscle!
p.s all my carbs come from whole wheat toast....... and one red bliss potato??? does that sound like a recipe for disaster?
Co-Promoter of the NPC "Royal Palm Classic"
I've made CONSIDERABLE gains this past year keeping carbs at 75-180 grams durign my balk phase and not allowing them to go over 64 during my current prep.
hoss is squeeky clean
I'm hitting PR's on several lifts and my carbs are under 75g/day right now except for my refeed on Sunday
Co-Promoter of the NPC "Royal Palm Classic"
I've tried about everything...Low Carbs, NO CARBS, Mod Fat, HIGH FAT, HIGH CARBS...
The best diets for me are usually low to mod in carbs and mod to high in protein/fats. Of course in the off season I allwo myself 1-2 cheatmeals per week, but usually they are in the form of something like chicken wings, which is very low carb anyway, but higher in fat (albeit sat fat).
But I know PLENTY of people that POUND 500-1000 carbs per day, never get fat and this works for them.
After my 2nd competitive season I tried the mod-high carb thing (1.5 g p/lb, 1.5 g c/lb). I had some really nice gains, but I got FAT FAT FAT! I had to diet so hard to get down I think I lost alot of what I gained. My goal from last season to this season was to stay relatively lean and go back to the higher fat lower carbs I used previously. The results seem to be awesome! I'm 4 weeks out now and I'm lighter than I have ever been this far out, leaner than ever, and BIGGER than every. I am also much more pleasent to be around. As soon as I dropped the carbs pre contest I stopped getting low blood sugar, headaches, and my hunger was controlled much better.
Now thats totally different. We are talking about internal and external fluid ratios. Science doesnt say it. Its just the human makeup. Worlds apart! Define bone dry. Dexter Jackson? He practices it, cause thats where I learned it. Joe McNeil. Yes, I know, Drugs and Diuretics. Not the greatest example but look at him and the rest. My def of bone dry and yours are different. I'm talking NO Drugs and especially NO DIURETICS. Google Jason Croce or Bobby Habeeb. They are my definition of bone dry.

Pride the Worst of Vice
Pride the Worst of Vice
Reflection: 1 Samuel 15:23; Proverbs 21:4; James 4:16
Pride is the worst of all vices, because it attacks the soul through its virtues as well as through its evil habits. Pride is hateful to God and men. It is the first prompting in the committing of sin; it remains the last in the struggle against sin. Indeed when the servant of God has overcome other vices and has reached the heights of virtue, he still has to face the battle against pride, and if he do not engage in the struggle his labor in other directions will be in vain.
Hugh of St. Victor (1096 – 1141)

The Readaholics ... by Laura DiSilverio
The "I" voice in the story belongs to Amy-Faye Johnson, a 32-year-old event planner. She's been hung up on a former boyfriend for years, but since starting her own small business, Eventful!, and buying a small house, she's ready to move on. Luckily, an attractive detective has recently moved to Heaven, Colorado from Atlanta.
Her best friend, Brooke Widefield, is also a Readaholic. Amy-Faye's age, she married into Heaven's richest family immediately after graduating from college. A former Miss Colorado, she's itching to do something worthwhile with her life (her inlaws object to her working) and have a baby.
Lola Paget was a year ahead of Amy-Faye and Brooke in high school and she went off to Texas A&M for her degree in Chemistry before returning to Heaven and the failing family farm which she has turned into a successful plant nursery. She supports her grandmother and teenage sister, whom she practically raised since their parents died when Lola was fifteen.
Kerry Sanderson is in her late 40s and has a teenage son living at home. Her daughter and grandson live in an apartment over the garage. A self-made women who succeeded in real estate, Kerry is Heaven's part-time mayor and the voice of reason when the Readaholics start poking into the murder of their sixth member, Ivy Donner.
Expect lots of humor when these five women dive into investigating Ivy's murder in The Readaholics and the Falcon Fiasco. They quickly discover that reading about murder is a different prospect entirely than solving one . . .
I've had tons of fun getting to know these women as I write about them, and I hope you'll enjoy meeting them, too. Please pre-order the book by clicking here for release on April 7th!
(Oh, and in each outing they're reading a different classic mystery that somehow plays into the murder they're solving. I'll give away a signed ARC to the first person to comment with a correct guess as to what book they're reading in The Readaholics and the Falcon Fiasco!)
I love the idea of the Readaholics, Laura. Thanks for introducing your cast of characters. I'm pretty sure I know the classic mystery answer.....let's see which of our readers gets it first.
Laura DiSilverio is a retired Air Force intelligence officer and author of 15 mystery and suspense novels. Her first Book Club Mystery, THE READAHOLICS AND THE FALCON FIASCO, hits stores on April 7. Her standalone suspense novel, THE RECKONING STONES, debuts in September. A Past President of Sisters in Crime, she pens articles for Writer's Digest, and teaches writing in various fora. She plots murders and parents teens in Colorado, trying to keep the two tasks separate.
Learn more about Laura and her books at her website and blog. She can also be found on Facebook, Twitter, and Goodreads.

I love the premise of the books, Laura! Sounds like a great cast of characters, with an almost unlimited supply of murders to solve. I'm guessing the classic mystery they are reading here is The Maltese Falcon.
- March 23, 2015 at 4:27 PM
- Dean K Miller said...
What a wonderful cast of characters and idea for novels. The relationship angle is endless for new works.
- March 23, 2015 at 5:46 PM
- Laura DiSilverio said...
You're right, Patricia--the Readaholics are discussing The Maltese Falcon, a book I blush to confess I'd never read before creating this series.
Thanks, Dean. I'm hoping readers relate to the Readaholics and that if the series is not "endless," it's a least long-lasting!

30 Under 30 Web Choice Award Winner: Michael Jensen
By Katherine Tarbox, senior editor, REALTOR® Magazine
A total of 642,459 votes were cast in REALTOR® Magazine's "30 Under 30" Web Choice Award poll. Of those, a staggering 14.8 percent, or 95,358 votes, went to our Web Choice winner: broker Michael Jensen with RE/MAX Spirit Lake & The Okobojis in Spirit Lake, Iowa. In 2010, Jensen closed $13.5 million in sales with 58 sides selling vacation homes on Lake Okoboji, one of the three lakes in the world officially considered blue-water lakes, meaning they were formed from a melting glacier.
"I'm from [an area] of 15,000 in Iowa that thinks it's as great as any large city," explains Jensen, who said he was getting regular messages from his doctor, friends, and colleagues that they voted for him hundreds of times during the voting week, March 26 to April 3. Jensen believes it was residents of his small town who pushed him to the top of the voting, by voting as often as they could.
For the third year running, we asked readers to evaluate and vote on the 50 semi-finalists in our annual "30 Under 30" program. Clearly, social networking is in full bloom: The number of votes we tallied this year was more than four times the number we received in 2010, with many of this year's candidates receiving more than 20,000 votes.
"I don't really ask for anything until I need it," says Jensen, who contacted his 700 Facebook friends and e-mailed individuals in his database of just over 3,000 to vote for him for the Web Choice Awards. His local and state association also got the word out through social media channels.
Another semi-finalist, Becky Barrick, a broker with Keller Williams Realty Puyallup in Lake Tappas, Wash., used the Web Choice voting as an opportunity to support a good cause: She pledged to donate $1,000 to an organization that fights human trafficking if she received more than 10,000 votes. Although she didn't make her goal, in honor of the 3,020 votes, she donated $302 to the charity.
Web Choice voting didn't play a role in the selection of the final 30. Watch for the June issue of REALTOR® Magazine to see which of the finalists were named to the 2011 "30 Under 30" class.

How Burglar Alarm Systems Fend Off Intruders
Today's thieves are smart and knowledgeable in the various types of burglar alarm systems from the conventional battery operated bell-type to high-end wireless and monitored alarm systems. Just like in any career, professional burglars need to keep themselves updated with the advancing technologies used in burglar alarm systems.
With that in mind, a homeowner must build their defences around this idea so as not to be outwitted by these wily thieves. Some are extremely good; they can steal your valuables in broad daylight and right under your nose. They have learned to use technology to disarm your high-end wireless driveway alert system in no time.
What can homeowners do to protect themselves against unwanted "visitors"?
The most important thing is to know more about burglar alarms. This is how you make informed decisions. There are good resources that you can access in the Internet. However, in order to make sure what brand to buy, to know how they are performing and what are the customers saying about it, look for independent product reviews. You can also check out burglar alarm forums for a more honest-to-goodness opinions and comments.
Alarm systems can have a single purpose of burglary protection. Other systems may have combination or dual purposes for both intrusion and fire. The driveway alarm system can be combined with technologies to undertake television surveillance and interface to access control systems for electronically controlled locks.
The most basic types of burglar alarm systems have sensors that respond to various kinds of stimuli and an alerting device to signal the intrusion. Alarms may be categorized based on the sensors built into the system and these are ultrasonic detectors, passive infrared detectors, photoelectric beams, microwave detectors, glass break detectors, and heat, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, etc.
These, in turn, are connected to alerting devices by way of wires or wireless means. Wires are best used when sensors require power to operate. Wireless systems like radio, infrared and line carrier often rely on battery-powered transmitters. Hybrid systems make use of either wired or wireless sensors or transmitters.
The alarm system business is big. There are many types with each one offering a different level of security. The cheapest or lowest level of security is the bells-only that entails one-time installation fee and relies on someone else phoning the police when it goes off. There are also monitored alarm systems that entail extra charges for the additional services wanted. There are various ways by which monitoring can be done such as using the broadband alarm monitoring or radio alarm dual signaling. These can be connected to a receiving center of a monitoring service provider that makes the necessary responses such as contacting the police, the hospital, or the ambulance depending on the emergency situation.
The higher is the level of security service, the more expensive it gets. If you want to cut the expense of monitoring, the best alternative is a "Speech Dialer." This is a device that calls a pre-programmed set of numbers when the theft alarm goes off.
Being secured is getting expensive these days. One just misses those days when you can sleep with your windows open for fresh air without fearing for your life or property. Technology offers a convenience and another technology takes it away.

Are you interested in making a felt Hello Kitty face bag? If you are, I'll show you the how-to. I hope you all understand the instruction that I give. Okay, let's get started!
1. Print, draw and cut.
First, all you have to do is print the pattern. I also include the pattern in this tutorial. Download head pattern. Download bow pattern.
After you print them, assemble them as I instruct. Draw the pattern on the felt. Make 4 identical shapes. For this bag, I used 3 different colors. One white colored felt for the face, 2 blue colored felts for the lining and one pink colored felt for the back of the bag. After that, cut those felt and allow seam allowances except the ear and top of the head. Each felt should look like this now.
After cutting the main pattern, prepare its bow, eyes and nose too. Print, draw and cut the bow, eyes and nose pattern. Assemble the bow.
2. Face and bow
Arrange and sew the eyes, nose, moustache and the bow on white colored felt like the picture below.
3. The straps
Sew the straps down securely on each blue colored felt.
4. Working on each side of the bag.
Arrange each side of the bag (White felt on blue felt. Pink felt on blue felt) and sew them down but sew only its top (The part with no seam allowance) using blanket stitch.
Arrange the white colored felt and pink colored felt facing each other and sew them down. Just sew on the blue dashes as shown below.
6. Flip it!
After you finished sewing the bag, now flip them right side out and voila, you did it!
I hope you enjoy this cute felt Hello Kitty face bag. Please feel free to leave any comments. I would also love to see if anyone uses this tutorial and what your bag ended up looking like.
Happy Sewing!

Buckfast Abbey
Buckfastleigh Devon TQ11 0EE
South Devon -
The Abbey Church is used by the monks for prayer at several times throughout each day. In addition, there are services each day for the Abbey parish. Details of these services can be found at
Service Times
Outside of these times, the Church is open to the general visitor as follows:
Sundays: Noon to 6 p.m.
Weekdays: 9 a.m. (Fridays 10 a.m.) to 6 p.m.
Buckfast Abbey is just off the A38 Exeter to Plymouth road. Take the Dart Bridge exit for Buckfast and Totnes and follow the signs to the car park
Buckfast Abbey was founded by Earl Aylward in the reign of King Cnut in 1018. In 1147 it became a Cistercian abbey and was rebuilt in stone. In medieval times, the abbey became rich through fishing and trading in sheep wool, although the Black Death killed two abbots and many monks — by 1377 there were only fourteen monks at Buckfast.
On 25 February 1539, William Petre arrived at Buckfast and declared the abbey to be dissolved by order of King Henry VIII. The monks were compelled to leave and the buildings were looted and destroyed. The abbey then stood in ruins for over two hundred years.
On 28 October 1882, six Benedictine monks arrived at Buckfast having been exiled from France. The land had been leased by monks from the St. Augustine's Priory in Ramsgate. The first new abbot was Boniface Natter, who died in a shipwreck in 1906. His travelling companion Anscar Vonier became the next abbot and pledged to fulfil his dying wish, namely to rebuild the abbey.
The monks lived among the ruins and gradually rebuilt the abbey church upon the foundations of the abbey constructed in 1147. The church itself was restored between 1905 and 1937. Over the thirty two years, there were never more than six monks working on the project at any one time, although the whole community had repaired the ancient foundations up to ground level. Construction methods were primitive — wooden scaffolding was held together by ropes and no safety protection was worn by the monks. One monk fell 50 feet but survived and three monks fell off a hoist without serious injury in 1931. Construction continued through World War I, with the German monks being unable under local law to leave the abbey grounds.
The Abbey was consecrated on 25 August 1932, but the building was finally finished with the laying of the last stone in late 1937.

The mixed Gothic and Romanesque nave of Buckfast Abbey
Stained glass in Buckfast Abbey. The panel, designed by the monks who built the abbey, is 8 metres (26 feet) across.The Abbey is self-supporting, with a farm where vegetables are grown and bees, pigs and cattle are kept, a shop which sells wine, honey beeswax, fudge and other items made by religious communities throughout the world, and a gift shop, book shop, and restaurant.
Buckfast Tonic Wine
The monastery's most successful product is Buckfast Tonic Wine, a strong tonic wine which the monks began making (to a French recipe) in the 1890s. The strength of "Buckfast", and its misuse, have been a controversial issue for the abbey.
Brother Adam (born Karl Kehrle in 1898 in Germany, died in 1996) was put in charge of the Abbey's beekeeping in 1919, and began extensive breeding work creating the honeybee known as the Buckfast bee. Brother Adam had to replenish the bee colonies as 30 of the monastery's 46 colonies had been wiped out by a disease called "acarine", all the bees that died were of the native British black bee. The remaining 16 hives that survived were of Italian origin.
St Boniface's Catholic College
With the outbreak of World War II, Plymouth-based St Boniface's Catholic College evacuated its pupils to Buckfast Abbey between 1941-1945. The school later named one of its Houses "Abbey" in memory of this period in their history.
Buckfast Abbey Preparatory School
From 1967 until 1994, the abbey ran a prep school for boys aged 7 to 13.
Two former monks were later convicted and imprisoned for sexually abusing boys during this period.
The grounds
There is a conference and seminar centre, and a restaurant (the Grange). On the west side of the Abbey are two gardens with plants ranging from herbs used in cooking or medicine to poisonous plants. Behind the public area is an enclosed garden for the monks. A bridge leads over the river to the abbey farm.

Mosaic Theory: Viewing Guest Registries in the Modern AgePDF
David Lee's article, "Mosaic Theory: Viewing Guest Registries In The Modern Age," was published in Law360 on July 6, 2015.
From the article...
"On May 5, 2015, in advance of the U.S. Supreme Court ruling in City of Los Angeles v. Patel, I wrote the following blog post:
A Motel 6 establishment located in Warwick, Rhode Island, has unveiled a new strategy to respond to the rampant illegal activity of its guests. Given the 75 arrests over the past 14 months at that location — sex trafficking, drug busts, meth labs and shootings — Motel 6 executives have initiated a controversial policy: voluntarily providing its daily guest list to local police. What's more, the motel does not intend to inform its guests that their names are being provided to law enforcement. The idea is that frequent visits by the police will ultimately prompt undesirables to migrate to less-surveilled locations. It is currently unknown whether Motel 6 is utilizing this approach in other locations."

The Great Architectural Design from Luxurious Tudor Style Houses
- 0.1 Tudor style houses are homes built with architectural features which reference Tudor and Medieval architecture.
- 1 Tudor Style Houses
Tudor style houses are homes built with architectural features which reference Tudor and Medieval architecture.
The Tudor style trend developed in response to the ornate styles of Gothic and Victorian architecture. It focused on simplicity and clean lines, referencing trends which were common during the medieval period and the Tudor era in England. Eventually, it metamorphosed into Craftsman style architecture, and in fact many Tudor style homes display a blend of both styles.
The key distinguishing characteristic of Tudor style houses is the use of decorative half timbering, which means that building timbers are partially exposed, surrounded with stucco, plaster, or brick.
Tudor style houses tend to be rambling, with lots of shapes and angles, and side gables, along with a major cross gable roughly around the middle of the home. The homes are also usually two stories high, and they can be quite large, despite the fact that they are supposed to evoke medieval cottages. Another common feature is an overhanging second floor. Tudor style homes also usually have mullioned windows, and they tend to feature narrow windows rather than broad ones. High chimneys are also common, as are solid wood doors and heavy structural elements. Some even feature thatched roofs for an additional note of "authenticity."
The interior of Tudor style houses can be quite varied. Dark woodwork, exposed beams, and plaster can all be seen. Rough edges which are supposed to look hand-finished are not uncommon, and the floors may be wood plank, slate, tile, or other materials.
Although the Tudor style houses craze peaked around the middle of the 20th century, architects continue to design and build new homes in this style. Homes designed in the Tudor style can be found all over the world, including in communities which were most certainly not settled during the Tudor era. When well built, these homes can command a premium on the housing market, as they are distinctive and one of a kind, especially when surrounded with thoughtfully landscaped grounds.

15 People Who Prove You Don't Have to Wake Up Early to Be Successful
Look up habits of successful people, and one thing comes up over and over: Successful people wake up early.
But before you attempt to reprogram your sleepy brain, consider this: While, yes, early birds do get some worms, naturally late risers get some perks, too.
One Spanish study suggested that night owls who sleep in may be more intelligent than their day-bound peers, and Italian researchers found evidence that "evening types" might be also be more creative.
It may not be compatible with a standard office job, but as these 15 people prove, waking up late is definitely compatible with success.

Liberia's financial system is comprised of nine commercial banks with 87 branches spread across 10 of the 15 counties; 11 rural community finance institutions (similar to community banks owned by residents of the community) operating in nine of the fifteen counties, including those counties that do not have banking services; 20 insurance companies with 31 branches located mainly in the economic viable areas; 16 microfinance institutions; one deposit-taking microfinance institution; one credit institution; 120 foreign exchange bureaus; four regional credit unions; and two mobile network service providers (mobile money). All of these institutions are under the ambit of the Central Bank of Liberia, the regulator and supervisor of the overall financial landscape.
The commercial banks operating in Liberia are as follows:
The international money transfer operators are required to partner with banks in the provisions of their services, which include Western Union, Money Gram, SIKA card and RIA; notwithstanding, exclusivity is not required under the legislation of Liberia.
E-Payment Solution (or the e- Card) is one of the newest financial service instruments being introduced in the Liberian financial system, though it has been operating in other economies in and outside of the region. The e-card started in Liberia in 2009 through one of the nine banks, and to date we have three banks currently providing visa cards while two others are providing proprietary cards. Even though the use of visa cards in volume by customers was_ low then, there is a growing need for visa cards amongst banks' customers, which expedites business sales while at the same time working on the GoL's policy to move to a cashless society in the medium term. To date, we have a total of 59 ATMs and 94 Point of Sale terminals located in key businesses in the country.
The licensing of two mobile network service providers has also increased the mobile money landscape in Liberia. Mobile Money service in Liberia is providing a number of services, including remittances, payments of goods & services, payments of civil servant salaries, social workers, teachers, etc.
As a means of enhancing access to finance, especially in the rural areas, the CBL established 11 rural community finance institutions (RCFIs) in collaboration with one of the commercial banks involved in agriculture financing. RCFIs provide financial programs for farmers to grow and develop their farm lands and improve their small businesses, amongst other opportunities.
In order to create an enabling environment for businesses under the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMSEs) to have access to finance without the provision of unmovable collaterals such as real estate and hard collaterals, the CBL established acollateral registry in conjunction with the International Finance Corporation to allow creditors the opportunity to register secure interests pledged by debtors as guarantee to acquire loans/ credit. Since the introduction of the collateral registry in theLiberian financial environment, the growth in lending to the MSMEs by lending institutions has been increasing on a yearly basis.
The CBL has an active website, www.cbl.org.lr, where anyone has the opportunity to search for information on the economy, including the Bank, overview of the Liberian economy, etc.

HAMSTERS & HEROIN: Not all junkies are purse-snatching grandmother-killing psychos. I'm keeping this blog to bear witness to that fact.
Gledwoods deutscher Blog
I was told by a mental health nurse that my heroin addiction was "self medication" for a mood disorder that has recently become severe enough to cause psychotic episodes. As well as methadone I take antipsychotics daily. Despite my problems I consider myself a very sane person. My priority is to attain stability. I go to Narcotics Anonymous because I "want what they have" ~ Serenity.
My old blog used to say "candid confessions of a heroin and crack cocaine addict" how come that one comes up when I google "heroin blog" and not this one. THIS IS MY BLOG. I don't flatter myself that every reader knows everything about me and follows closely every single word every day which is why I repeat myself. Most of that is for your benefit not mine.
This is my own private diary, my journal. It is aimed at impressing no-one. It is kept for my own benefit to show where I have been and hopefully to put off somebody somewhere from ever getting into the awful mess I did and still cannot crawl out of. Despite no drugs. I still drink, I'm currently working on reducing my alcohol intake to zero.
If you have something to say you are welcome to comment. Frankness I can handle. Timewasters should try their own suggestions on themselves before wasting time thinking of ME.
PS After years of waxing and waning "mental" symptoms that made me think I had depression and possibly mild bipolar I now have found out I'm schizoaffective. My mood has been constantly "cycling" since December 2010. Mostly towards mania (an excited non-druggy "high"). For me, schizoaffective means bipolar with (sometimes severe) mania and flashes of depression (occasionally severe) with bits of schizophrenia chucked on top. You could see it as bipolar manic-depression with sparkly knobs on ... I'm on antipsychotic pills but currently no mood stabilizer. I quite enjoy being a bit manic it gives the feelings of confidence and excitement people say they use cocaine for. But this is natural and it's free, so I don't see my "illness" as a downer. It does, however, make life exceedingly hard to engage with...
PPS The "elevated mood" is long gone. Now I'm depressed. Forget any ideas of "happiness" I have given up heroin and want OFF methadone as quick as humanly possible. I'm fed up of being a drug addict. Sick to death of it. I wanna be CLEAN!!!

I hate methadone and want to die
My house looks like a bomb has hit it. My Mum cannot move me; she will be away. But I know someone with a car who probably will let me down but it's a chance. I'm dumping all my kitchen stuff at Paddaddaddaddadd's house, if he will have them. I have stuff like a 5ft high fold-out clothes drying rack that I am NOT taking with me, but I want to keep it. Once I've got rid of all that ilk of stuff I just have to pack these tartan bags. Once I've left my place will look post-nuclear because I'm leaving two thirds of my clobber behind. Clothes that don't fit. Clothes with holes. Books I don't want. Etc etc. I'm not fretting too much I have to GO.
I want OUT as fast as possible. I want OUT of this God-forsaken outer London borough and back IN to London. I hate living in the middle of nowhere. Soon as I get OUT of this house I get BACK to the decent druggieclinic I used to go to. The new one has an atmosphere like the cavern by the River Styxx.
It was a nice day yesterday and I slept through it. Woke up at 5:30pm. Longer you sleep the better in my book. It's too hot though.
Akkh WHY did I ever go on shitty heroin? I want CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN OFF IT OFF OFF OFF and if I can't handle it I swear I will kill myself and I'm not fucking lying like Anna Grace.
Off off off off off off off off off off off off off off off off off! Hate methadone. Goodbye and good riddance to all drugs.
this is supposed to be about terminal illness ...
if you were terminally ill, would you accept anything but palliative care?
Sorry to everyone who finds this depressing. This is how I feel. Depressed.

You will NOT kill yourself, OK?

I think, take what u need/want & fly is the best idea.
good way to de-clutter, move house
sooner the better for you.
even just getting down to 25ml will make a huge difference.
Yes I know you want OFF, and I'm sure if thats what you want . . .thats what you will do.
I'm sure you know how you feel (ie depressed) but you "sound" quite motivated & excited :-)

ps, how cud I forget? ive (well not me personally) had some beige robos. They're two weeks old and instead of going grey like all the other litters did, they are light light beige. Will get some photos put up and send u link, They still got white eyebrow & tummy but the "other" colour is not much darker than the white. First I thought it was just one and might be albino, but they are all the same and still got black eyes . . .i can't wait to see how they turn out! Then again, could be another litter I will have to keep, as I doubt the pet shop will sell them as "Robos" . . .O

Taffeta, Janice: I don't really care whether I live or die. I would much rather die by accident than suicide. That's why street heroin is so good: you never know how strong it is and so can overdose accidentally. I don't really want to kill myself, I just want to die. That's what's so crap about methadone. The're all jibber-wibber "oh this is such an enormous dose" when it's tiny. I calculated that on British 1mg/1ml methadone your bladder would EXPLODE before you ever had the chance of overdosing. They should be aiming to wipe out junkies, not keep the bastards alive
Mr L: that cheesecake looks nice
Buggerlugz: you're lucky having so many robos. Do they scuttle all over the place? Do they ever escape and cause chaos? Baby Itchy roborovski used to escape FREQUENTLY for 2 days or more at a time. Every time I thought I had lost her for good, the swine!
No I won't die deliberately if I can avoid it.
Don't worry. You know what I'm like. I probably won't do fuck all.
I did try and commit suicide twice. The first time I took a bottle of antidepressants and felt so sick afterwards it was unreal. Of course I got NO medical treatment. It didn't even cross my mind...
Akelamalu: I want drug free and pure. If I were a Buddhist I would climb up a mountain and become a crazy hermit and never come down!

In-depth portrait of the Afghan heroin trade at its very height. Includes heroin-lab bust. "Afghanistan's Fateful Harvest"
Classic miniseries whose title became a catchphrase for the misery of life in East Asian prison. Nicole Kidman plays a privileged middle-class girl set up to mule heroin through Thai customs with the inevitable consequences. This is so long it had to be posted in two parts. "Bangkok Hilton 1" (first 2 hours or so); "Bangkok Hilton 2" (last couple of hours).
Short film: from tapwater-clear H4 in the USA to murky black Afghan brown in Norway: "Heroin Addicts Speak"
Before his untimely death this guy kept a video diary. Here's the hour-long highlights as broadcast on BBC TV: "Ben: Diary of a Heroin Addict". Thanks to Noah for the original link.
Some of the most entertaining scenes from Britain's top soap (as much for the poor research as anything else). Not even Phil Mitchell would go from nought to multi-hundred pound binges this fast: "Phil Mitchell on Crack" (just over 5 minutes).
Scientist lady shows us how to cook up gear: "How Much Citric?" Lucky cow: her brown is 70% purity! Oddly we never see her actually do her hit... maybe she got camera shy...
And lastly:
German documentary following a life from teenage addiction to untimely death before the age of 30. The decline in this girl's appearance is truly shocking. "Süchtig: Protokoll einer Hilflosigkeit". Sorry no subtitles; this is here for anyone learning German who's after practice material a little more gripping than Lindenstraße!

The arrival of the new year brings us that much closer to the arrival of the H-1B work visa filing period. The H-1B is a nonimmigrant visa category that allows U.S. employers to hire skilled foreign workers for temporary employment for an initial period of three years. There is currently a Congressionally-mandated cap of 65,000 on the number of new H-1B visas that can be granted for the new fiscal year that starts on October 1, 2008.* The filing period to petition for a new H-1B visa opens on April 1, 2008.
Last year, by the second open filing day the Citizenship and Immigration Services had received more than twice as many applications as there were spots available, leading to less than half of the applications being accepted for processing. It is all but certain that this year will have the same result, showing that advance planning and a little luck is required to obtain an H-1B visa.
Employers should carefully evaluate their needs and expectations regarding hiring foreign nationals within the next year. Now is the time for employers who anticipate needing to hire one or more skilled foreign nationals this year to begin the petitioning process.
If you would like assistance with filing an H-1B visa petition or have questions about other immigration-related matters, please call Mark Mathison, Casey Nolan, or another member of the Gray Plant Mooty Employment Law Practice Group.
*Many employers find that the H-1B visa cap of 65,000 is woefully inadequate to allow them to meet their needs to fill open positions with qualified foreign professionals and puts them at a competitive disadvantage. For information on how you can contact your congressional representative to advocate for an increase in the visa cap, please visit: http://capwiz.com/aila2/home/.
