Street Rodder Reader Mail
McMullen Roadster I am sending you this photograph that I took at a one-day car show at Montebello High School in August, 1957. At the time this photograph was taken, the roadster was owned by a friend, Dave Hanson. We lived in Whittier and Dave worked for Advance Muffler in East Whittier. The '32 five-window was owned by John Collins of Modern Auto Trim in Whittier. The guy on the right is a mutual friend, Ron Myers.
I first saw this car for sale in 1955. I think it was at a trim shop in Norwalk, California. The price was $2,200, I think. I really wanted this roadster, but on $0.50/hr it couldn't happen for this high schooler.
It took another 40 years before I started my '32 in 1995. I was going to send this picture last year, but it got lost in move from San Jose to Lincoln, California. Recently, it showed up again, so I am sending it so the next story on Tom's car will have one more piece of the puzzle.Earl PrenticeLincoln, CA
The "Tom" that is referred to in his letter is none other than Tom McMullen, our founder. Note the distinctive split wishbones. We felt it only fitting to run this in the 30th Anniversary issue of STREET RODDER. Memories such as this are the very fibers that make our hobby unlike so many others. The staff of SRM would like to personally thank Earl for sharing this piece of history with us. In the "it's a small world category" Editor Brennan lived across from Montebello High in 1956 and would have gone there had it not been for his parent's moving the next year. (I was a pre-high schooler then but do remember the weekend car shows and how they fascinated me so much.)
What's Rodding All About I am of the age where my collection of STREET RODDER goes back to the days when there were vans and Volkswagens on the cover. Over the years, I have drifted in and out of the street rod scene. For a while it was Vettes and then circle track racing, now it's back to street rodding, where I feel at home.
The growth and maturation of STREET RODDER is truly remarkable when compared to other magazines in the automotive entertainment field; it stands alone, and above all others. Sure, there are some that are older and some that are glossier, but the versatility of the magazine and its staff are, well, commendable and extraordinary. From the superb standards of grammatically correct articles to the in-depth tech material, your staff exhibits the passion we, the readers, have for these "old cars."
I appreciate your advertisers. Without these advertisements building a street rod would be a more formidable and defeating task for many. Having built three cars in the last three years, I appreciate the technical skill and knowledge exercised by the people answering the phones at these businesses. These are some exemplary people who understand the products they manufacture and sell and want you to be satisfied with their products.
Being a member of a car club, North Florida Street Rod Association, I come into contact with a variety of automotive art. Each car is an expression of the level of the owner's passion for the avocation we call street rodding. Notice that I said owner-not builder. It doesn't make any difference if you spent the last 5 years building your rod or if you just bought it last week. You are a part of the street rod heritage. Welcome, no matter how you got here.
'Glass or steel-big deal! I've built both. Who cares? A year ago you printed a picture of my friend Dave Venski's '26 T roadster built in the '50s style. The front of the car is steel and the back is a 'glass deck glued on. Where do you classify that? Who cares? The car is flat cool!
Our hobby is always going to have some nitpickers and egomaniacs. Let 'em be. Just keep on doin' what yer doin'.Granville "Granny" Taylor Orange Park, FL
Well, Granny, thanks for your words and perspective which appears to be right on, and you also appear to be having more fun than should be allowable for any rodder with three cars in three years!
DMV Woes I had a very interesting Monday; it's something you might look into for one of your articles. I received a call from the Department of Motor Vehicles in Sacramento, California, in regards to my personalized license plate.
They wanted to know if I still had them and what was I using on my car since I had given them up. What! I'm still using them; they are still on my car in the garage. This is my baby not a daily driver, so I had to go out and look under the cover.
The plates were there but no new tag. I suddenly realized I hadn't received this year's renewal notices. I was advised to go to my DMV and talk to them. A quick 2 hours of lines, forms, and three clerks later, I found that someone last year wanted my plate. When he found it was being used, he simply filled out a form stating I had given them to him and presto! His car was registered with my plate.
When I told this story to my sister, she related a similar story about a guy in her club. When he showed his car in Northern California, someone copied his license number, then sent in a change of address, received a new registration, and proceeded to sell a car with his registration. He found out about this when he questioned the DMV as to why he didn't receive a renewal notice.
In closing, I think the word needs to get out. "Look at your tags and make sure you are getting your renewal notices." Thank you for letting me vent. Paul Cartwright Via the Internet
Paul, you have a right to both vent and be pissed off. In the May '02 issue we addressed a number of legislative items that are occurring all across the country. It is imperative that each and every rodder take a vested interests in our hobby, otherwise others, who care little for our passion, will! Thanks for the heads up-we all need this wakeup call.
Givin' Recognition Where It's DueI just received my March issue. The first thing I read is your editorial "Easy There...." Thank you for your honesty and for putting in writing what most of us that enjoy the hobby have felt for years.
I really feel that it is the vocal minority that truly take issue with trailer queen verses daily driver or 'glass over steel. Yes, I am envious and even a little jealous when I see that flawless, high-dollar rod sitting next to my probably-never-to-be-completed '41 Chevy pickup. No, I don't have the talent it takes to build a rod like that, or the money to have one built, but who am I to diminish another's accomplishments just because I am feeling inferior? A great car is a great car. It doesn't matter the year, make, color or structural makeup.
People need to appreciate our hobby for what it is and the people who enjoy it. If your rod is broken on the highway, you can damn well bet the first person to help is a fellow rodder. Whether it's a trailer queen owner or an average Joe, they will do all they can. In what other hobby will a total stranger spot you a couple hundred to get you to a run with just your word and a handshake as collateral? Those are some of the stories I'd like to read in the Rodder Mail section!
As for promoting the advertisers, all I can say is that without them there would be no mag. I'd much rather peruse the ads in your magazine than the cigarette ads found in other rags. I bought my radiator from Walker, and if every company treated a person like they do, this world would be a much kinder place.
All of you that have the time to bitch about everyone else's cars go right ahead. I'll just keep enjoying the rides and hope you don't laugh too hard about mine. For the majority who are just happy to see the hobby stay alive, keep a smile on your face, the wind in your hair, and your ride on the road! Vic Sanders Longview, WA
It's that kind of attitude that makes the vast majority of rodders fun to be with. Keep having fun with your pickup; you are already way ahead of the curve.
More Credit Where Credit Is DueJust read the "For Starters" in the March '02 issue. Couldn't agree more. "Let's just have fun." I read in Rodders Mail about "too many of this or that car or too many of this or that motor."
Hey, "do what ever makes you happy." If you can't afford to have someone build you a car, build it yourself. If you are unable to build it, then buy one that's already built....there are many out there that are for sale in all price ranges and makes.
I couldn't afford to have someone build me a car, so I made my own. It's made on a frame that I welded together myself using simple suspension methods, split wishbones front and rear with a swap meet dropped axle, buggy sprung at both ends. The body is handmade out of a modified '29 Chevy firewall mated to a modified '30 Ford cowl, and the rest of the body is made out of a '72 Dodge Tradesman van.
I had someone tell me, "You can't make a body out of that pile of junk." I had to prove them wrong. It even has doors! I used the sides of the van for doorskins. Power comes from the old tried-and-true 350/350 combo back to an 8-inch Ford. I used the KISS method of building... keep it simple stupid! I'm sure that if it were included in your mag, someone would find something wrong with it. I find it just right! You need not have to include my e-mail in your column. My feelings will not be hurt.William "Fishfoot" MunzStoughton, WI
Well, we happen to agree with your opinion and we dare say many others rodders do as well. By the way, with a nickname like "Fishfoot" we just had to run your letter.
High Praise Thanks for the editorial "For Starters" in the January '02 issue. I always like to read your page when I get my copy of STREET RODDER in the mail. My boys started a subscription for me on my birthday last year. I had only looked at your magazine once before that.
As you stated in the article, our lives have changed since September 11th. There have been some twists and turns since I saw those horrible scenes. It was also a hard week at work, and I was fortunate to be passed by as the company I work for laid off some of my co-workers. (We make airplane parts.)
The editorial you wrote brightened my day. I had heard the poem "Don't Quit" from my Mom a longtime ago and had forgotten about it until you included it in the editorial. I was encouraged as I was reminded again of those words, "Don't you quit!" Thanks for the good words.
I have a project in the garage, but it's hard to get the dollars to put it together. It is mostly just in the idea stages. That's why I started getting your magazine. There have been several articles that have given me more ideas for my project. John S. Clifton, CO
Again, thanks for the kind words. As for the project-we all start out dreaming and in time it will happen. Here's wishing you the best.
Heavy Haulers Just wanted to drop you a line to tell you how much I like the Four Pack. I'd have to say it is the best one yet. Every magazine runs the 2x3-inch pictures of these heavy haulers, and I've even seen a tech article about installing door handles featuring one of them. But to step up a notch and run mini features is a step, I feel, in a great direction. Now we just have to get you to run full features on these mammoths.
Rest easy knowing I'm not the only one out there that loves these big trucks. As evident by the increasing numbers of them at shows and on the road, they are becoming a big part of the rod scene. I scour through every page of your magazine in search of the little morsels of COE's you throw out each month. I, myself, have one of these trucks. I bought it from the original owner (a farmer) and will someday rod it. I use these pictures for ideas and inspiration, as I live in the Midwest and rarely see any of them up close. My plans include a frame swap from a '79 Chevy 1-ton, small-block Chevy 700-R4 combo, and power everything. I'm going use a custom bed setup like a pickup bed instead of a car hauler, as this truck is planned to be my daily driver. I've already acquired all the major pieces, now I'm just waiting for the time to do it.Matt BurdittVia the Internet
Our pleasure. Technical Editor Ron Ceridono has a COE stashed away and someday, with a bit of luck, it will see the light of day and highway.
Wicked Pissah Two thumbs up for the article on Peter Flaven's "wicked pissah" '30 Chevy coupe from Eastern Massachusetts written in the January '02 issue.
I've been a rodder since 1962, starting with a 303-inch Olds-powered '40 Pontiac coupe. I've also run through a bunch of Corvettes and musclecars and presently drive a '36 Ford five-window coupe. I've always loved the high-tech rides but low-buck, primer, and wide whites really spin my crank.
It's great to see a young guy with low four digits invested and loads of blood and sweat have a crack at being recognized by a leading national (make that international) magazine.
I know the billet group is already protesting... "why not me?" I'm not taking sides but Peter and the rest of the Alter Boys, Jim Gove and Tony Dower, really deserve their 15 minutes of fame. These boys are very knowledgeable and talented builders and deserve to be admired and watched in the future. These boys are what hot rodding will become in the next generation, with our encouragement and willingness to share some graybeard advice. They might even teach you and I something.
The hot rodding hobby is not about power parkers, lawn chairs, plastic or steel, trailers, or billet. Our hobby is about camaraderie, working on our skills, and sharing with other rodders.
Keep on involving and encouraging our younger hot rodders. The dividend returns are huge! Jim Gustin Dominators Hot Rod Club Via the Internet
We like your outlook! And, we also believe Peter and the rest of the Alter Boys, Jim Gove and Tony Dower, will receive more than 15 minutes of fame given their rides and their talent.
Kudos For The Fe Great job on the FE engine buildup. It's always good to see what's out there for an install into today's street rods. This engine may be one of those untapped sources of what has become quite an array of junkyard jewels. They are just sitting there waiting for a serious rebuild and an install into your street machine.
This is definitely not one of those me-too engines that you see under the hoods of so many rods. While this exercise shows it wasn't a good performer in stock trim, if taken to the next level, would make a fine street machine/rod engine. I was surprised at the weight of this engine. The article states that with aluminum heads and intake this behemoth would weigh less than an all iron small-block Chevy. Richard G. Jones Via the Internet
The wheels are turning as we have a list of unusual-but doable-engines for the future that will make equally interesting powerplants for any street rod. Just stay tuned.
Scolding From Abroad I do not usually write to a magazine, but I was slightly incensed by your coverage of our UK Euronats. What upset me was that all the photos were in black and white, while the Australian Nats were in color-why was this?
I feel that we in the UK now build cars of the same quality as you guys and the color coverage would have been good for the hobby in the UK. Or is it maybe that we now build better cars than you guys do and you just cannot stand to see our cars shining in a top American magazine.
I would like to add that I find that not only your magazine but also other top car mags in the states seem to have the same outlook on UK cars.
Your comments are eagerly awaited and I will be surprised if this letter is printed in your readers letter page. I hope you will accept this letter as constructive criticism and be assured of my continuing support for your magazine.Steve Lang UK NSRA Member Via the Internet
Surprise! I have been in this business too long to take anything personal, and, maybe, it's all of those years as a football official that has toughened my sensibilities. Anyway, sorry we didn't give your event color but the Australian event was in-house and ready to go first, hence it was placed on the color pages-and that was that! Hey, we like your cars as much as anybody's. Although we do believe you place the steering wheel on the wrong side.
Who Cares I just want to voice my opinion on your choice for the STREET RODDER Street Rod of the Year. I know this has always been a "what came first" argument, but I think if a car is getting a Street Rod of the Year award it should be a street rod, not a trailer rod! That is about the same as Major League Baseball giving the MVP award to someone who doesn't play ball! But your mag is still the best and I realize that it is a tough choice to pick one car, so why don't you have a "readers pick" where you can vote on-line or something.
Also what's with all the" foreign" show coverage? One thing I like about you mag is that you usually cover shows on both coasts and between. But who give a rats butt about British, Australian, or Euro Nats! What happened to your coverage of Worcester, or the Rock-a-billy Rumble? By far the best display of cars ever!Jim ValentinoVia the Internet
Whew, we have lots of issues here. As for our selection of the Street Rod of the Year, we stand behind, in front of, or inside of Jim Fountain's nifty ride. And, we might add it really is a driver and as fine an example of a street rod that anyone will ever come across.
As for the foreign coverage. Take a close look at the cover of STREET RODDER and you will note that we proclaim ourselves, "The World's Street Rodding Authority." The way we look at it is-we aren't the only ones with street rods. And, as far as covering events from coast to coast, we do. Look closely, you will see Rock-A-Billy Rumble and any number of other right coast events.
A Little Help Here I would like to add my support for Joe Nemo and add some of my own comments. You say you are a street rod magazine, and yet most of the time you pick a show car as Street Rod of the Year. A street rod is a car that is driven on the street-not to a trailer around the corner.
I think you and the NSRA and Goodguys should start putting these show cars in the right place, in a show with their peers and not with a driven street rods. It's an unfair world and you and the clubs are part of that unfair world and also promote it. Maybe you should start a new magazine for show cars and leave this one for the real street rodders.Grumpy Ray GillotteVia the Internet
Grumpy, hey we have nothing to do with the NSRA or Goodguys as to the types of cars they select. As for SRM picking show cars-that's not quite true. Back in '98 it's true that particular car was a trailer queen. This past year Jim Fountain's Model A sedan (sort of) was a street rod and a street rodder's dream in every sense of the word, given the fact it was both a driver and he did the work himself. Aside from our own award, we try and stay out of the award business.

February is usually highlighted for expressing love for family, friends and significant others, but it's also important to remember to love yourself. The fact is that loving yourself increases your health in two major ways. When people love and respect themselves they tend to make better food and lifestyle choices, promoting physical health. Plus, loving yourself will help you view yourself in a more positive light, promoting emotional and mental health. Physical, mental and emotional health all have been proven to be closely linked to each other, and multitudes of studies have shown a positive attitude can be the largest factor in all three.
Despite mounting evidence in the field of Psychoneuroimmunology – the study of how the brain and behavior affect the immune system – Western (MD) medicine continues to struggle with the concept of non-physical elements such as thoughts, feelings and emotions affecting our physical health. However, basic anatomy and physiology clearly illustrate the process.
The human body is a complex system of bones, muscles, organs and tissues that work together to sustain life. Still, as with any complex system, the body would not function properly without someone or something in place to call the shots. In the case of the human body, it's the chemical brain – comprised of the hypothalamus and the pituitary gland – that runs the show. These two glands regulate the release of hormones based on information collected through your perceptions and speech. The hormones then act as chemical instructions and play an integral role in every function our bodies perform. In this way, you have a clear pathway for perceptions — what you see, hear, say, think and feel — becoming a physical process.
Cultivating self-love and positive perceptions can be done in a number of ways – here are six techniques that can help you change your life.
1. Make your health a priority. Nourish your body with nutrient-rich foods and plenty of hydration. Exercise regularly. Stretch. Pamper your body, mind and soul with natural spa and relaxation techniques. You can even strengthen your mental health by letting go of your focus on what you see as imperfections. Instead, focus on your favorite things about you and celebrate them!
2. Protect yourself from people who drain you. It's true that misery loves company. Avoid getting sucked into negative situations and thoughts by surrounding yourself with people who genuinely want only the best for you. These people know that you deserve to love yourself as much as they love you.
3. Practice saying no. Often people create undue stress in their own lives by over-committing and not leaving time for them to recharge. And while a little stress can motivate you, too much stress can deteriorate you. Whether at work or in your personal life, say no to anything or anyone that will drain you or make you perceive the world negatively.
4. Maintain control and be true to yourself. Studies consistently have shown that the healthiest people are those with a sense of control, while passive people are the least healthy. Maintaining control is a matter of being able to choose how you view yourself as well as your reactions to people and events. Do some soul searching and get to know who you are and what you want from life. Let this knowledge be your guide. Live the life you want, not the one others want for you.
5. Forgive yourself. You are not perfect. Nobody is. Before you can love yourself, you must first forgive yourself. Practice learning from your mistakes rather than punishing yourself for them.
6. Have an attitude of gratitude and trust your feelings. Make a list of the things about you and your life that you are grateful for. When you show appreciation for others you earn their support. The same goes for yourself. Appreciate what makes you unique and you will learn to love yourself.
Maintaining a positive attitude and love for yourself actually can determine the course of your life. So as you take the time to affirm your love for those special people in your life this month, don't forget to benefit your heart and soul by cultivating a loving relationship with yourself as well.

You know it's love when you and your partner can eat garlic together. Garlic is one of the oldest cultivated plants and one of the oldest recorded medicines. In fact, every culture on the planet still employs some species of garlic in their diet. Garlic supports overall heart health, stimulates the immune system and lowers cholesterol levels. One of the best antibiotics provided by nature, garlic is effective against both gram positive and gram negative bacteria. And unlike with man-made antibiotics, bacteria find it impossible to build resistance to garlic. Additionally, garlic is anti-viral, anti-septic, anti-parasitic, anti-fungal and anti-protozoan.
While most people prefer to take their garlic in supplement form, there is a reason we made it this month's food instead of the supplement. When you chop or crush garlic, it stimulates an enzymatic process that converts alliin (a phytochemical in garlic) to allicin. Allicin mainly is responsible for the pungent odor of garlic many people attempt to avoid by taking it as a supplement, but it is also the compound responsible for many of garlic's health benefits. Since allicin dissipates over time, the only way to ensure you are gaining the maximum benefit from garlic is to eat it fresh. If the odor of garlic is your concern, chew fresh parsley after consuming garlic to counter the odor.

The next time you have the urge for a snack, try turning to an easy-to-prepare, health-boosting treat like roasted garlic. This bite-size dish helps regulate blood pressure, has anti-viral, anti-septic, anti-parasitic, anti-fungal and anti-cancer properties. It may even help regulate iron metabolism and fat production. For the well-being of your heart and total body, give garlic a chance.
One or more bulb(s) of garlic
Olive oil
Aluminum foil
Baking or muffin pan
Preheat oven to 400° F. Peel away the outer layers of skin from the garlic bulb, leaving the individual cloves intact. Use a knife to cut 1/4 to 1/2 inch off the top of the garlic cloves, exposing the individual cloves. Place the garlic heads in a baking pan (muffin pans work well for this purpose) and drizzle a couple teaspoons of olive oil over each head, using your fingers to make sure the garlic head is well coated. Cover with aluminum foil. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the cloves feel soft when pressed. Allow the garlic to cool enough so you can touch it without burning yourself. Use a small knife to cut the skin slightly around each clove. Use a cocktail fork or your fingers to pull or squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins.
HAWTHORN (Crateagus oxycanthus)
There is, perhaps, no better herb to help maintain healthy heart, arteries and veins than Hawthorn. This woody shrub grows throughout the world and its berries are used in both western herbalism and Ayurveda to strengthen and tone the heart, as well as regulate blood flow, blood pressure and heart rate. It has proven effective in treating emotionally and physically induced heart issues, including heart strain, tachycardia, inflammation of the heart muscle, enlarged heart and valvular heart diseases.
Hawthorn also increases oxygen uptake and enzyme metabolism in the heart, stimulates circulation, and dilates coronary vessels, bringing more blood to the heart. Moreover, it long has been used to help reduce cholesterol and blood lipids. As if that weren't enough, Traditional Chinese Medicine recommends Hawthorn for improving digestion. And as a flower remedy, it can act as a mild anti-depressant. Although Hawthorn is generally a very safe herb, caution is recommended as it may alter the effects of other heart medications. Consult your Naturopathic Doctor prior to using Hawthorn.8

Lipoic acid, also known as thioctic acid, has been used for decades to treat complications from diabetes and to protect against stroke and heart disease. Nonetheless, Lipoic acid is often overlooked as a viable heart health supporter. Unlike other antioxidants, Lipoic acid is both water and fat soluble, and very effectively recycles antioxidants including Vitamin E, CoQ10, Vitamin C, and even itself! One of the most important contributions of lipoic acid in the body when it comes to antioxidant activity is that it helps stimulate glutathione synthesis. A healthy human body usually produces enough lipoic acid but there are times we need to supplement, such as in certain disease states (diabetes) or in times of illness.
Because Lipoic acid supplied from food is not absorbed well, it is usually taken as a supplement. As always, you should discuss any supplement plans with your Naturopathic doctor prior to use, to decide which supplements will be the most beneficial and pose the least risk to your health.

Just as you would express your love for another through compliments and praise, you should also express your love for yourself. Positive affirmations are extremely important, and an excellent mind conditioning exercise that will help you to develop and maintain a positive attitude about yourself and the world around you. You can begin this exercise by making small changes in your thinking.
1. Become aware of your thoughts and make an effort to notice at least three things per day which bring you joy; a sunset, the feel of your child's hand in yours, or the pleasure of crawling into bed after a long day.
2. Become aware of how you speak to yourself, and correct any negative thoughts you might have throughout the day. Be vigilant.
3. Make a list of all of the things that you love about yourself.
4. Make a list of the things you wish to change in your life. When thinking about these goals, focus on what you want, not what you don't want. Your thoughts should be recited in the present tense to instill the feeling of accomplishment.
Your goals should be specific, so that you can clearly envision and work toward them. For example:
1. If your goal is to lose weight, try approaching the idea with thoughts like, "I am becoming slim and healthy."
2. If you want to feel like you are being heard, try reminding yourself that, "My words are important and my voice is commanding."
3. If you are feeling unappreciated, by yourself or others, and want to find your inner strength, repeat after me: "I am strong. I am worthy. I am the master of my own universe."
Some affirmations will feel effortless and true, while others may feel empty. Do not worry, this takes practice. You have spent your entire life thinking about yourself and speaking to yourself in certain ways, consequently some affirmations may conflict with your present mental conditioning. As you work with more positive affirmations, your resistance will erode and you will begin to see that what you are telling yourself is true. Congratulations! You are moving in the direction of manifestation.

Arizona Beer Week, once upon a time just a twinkle in the eye of desert-dwelling beer lovers, is now upon us -- and has grown to juggernaut proportions. As our mom likes to say, you can't swing a dead cat without hitting a beer week event. With somewhere in the neighborhood of 200 celebrations of beer going on throughout the week, you may find it hard to navigate the forest to find the events worth your time.
But fear not! There are certain festivities going on every night that are definitely worthy of quality beer-drinking hours. These are the events you'll definitely see our shining faces at -- though they may be blocked by a beer or two.
Saturday, Feb. 19
Four Peaks Brunch and Brews - Four Peaks Tempe, 9 a.m.
- Get an early start on Beer Week with brunch and a pint at the Four Peaks brewpub in Tempe. You'll need that solid base, because after you take the short walk to the light rail station, your next stop will be...

First and foremost, I have learned to become thankful for everything around me; especially for things that I may have taken for granted. After not being able to drink and/or eat for 16 hours a day, I have come to value things a lot more.
I believe that the one thing we take the most for granted is water. For some, taking a shower (with no option of adjusting the water temperature) is a trade-off with providing drinking water for their kids. Water for them is scarce. For others, it is not possible to shower in water that is anything less but of the perfect temperature… not too hot and not too cold. Oh and did I forget to mention that some people only want to drink out of Aquafina water bottles and not Nestle because Nestle water tastes "weird?" As I stepped out of the shower today, I was thankful for the water that rushed down my body. When I drank a bottle of water after Eid prayer this morning, I was thankful for being able to have such easy access to drinking water, regardless of what the label on the water bottle reads.
We need to be more thankful for what we have in our lives. We need to stop complaining about "working long hours" and getting paid "like ____." Some people will do anything to work where you work and to get paid less than what you get paid. We need to stop worrying over petty things that are insignificant (ie- losing a friend, strictness of parents, and/or getting your car scratched). Some people have never had friends, have lost their parents in this life and do not even have enough money to keep the skin on their heels from tearing off. This is a reminder to all of us, including myself, to be thankful for every blessing we have.
Lesson # 2 - Give and forgive.
Ramadan is a month to give and forgive. We all have something to give, regardless if we are employed or not. Time.
We can all spare time out of our lives to help make a difference in somebody else's life. Taking five minutes out of your life to go help someone in need may in fact be life changing for this person. Donating five dollars to charity may be immaterial to you, but may be the deciding factor as to whether or not food is provided for someone's family. We do not think twice in the month of Ramadan when it is time to give, but what about the other 11 months in the year? They are just as important. Let's continue to be generous with our time and money each and every month of the year to those in need, whether it is someone hungry for food or someone looking for career advice.
The muscles in our arms have strained from joining our hands together and asking for forgiveness this month each and every night. Regardless of your religion and faith, it is just not possible to ask for forgiveness if you are not ready and able to forgive others without even thinking twice. Once again, I remind myself before I remind you that together, let's become more forgiving to each other. If we all have a mentality to forgive and forget, this world would be a much better place to live in. You wouldn't have to worry about doing wrong to others and others won't have to worry about doing wrong to you.
Lesson # 3 - Waste no time.
Sitting through a Ramadan lecture this past month, one quote struck home for me. A man said, "the only thing you have constant in your life is time. Your wealth, your beauty, your power, your friends, your fame, your reputation, is all subject to fluctuation but the one thing that is not is the time you have left in this world. Do not waste it. Spend it wisely"
Although this is the last lesson listed on this blog post, it definitely is the most important one. The reason why I kept it for the end is because it is a combination of lessons one and two above. Every day that passes, be thankful for what you have. Count your blessings, not your desires. Every day that passes, give and forgive a little more than the day before; waste no time in doing so.
The past 30 days for most of us may have been very structured. We probably had a daily routine that was followed to the minute. Now that Ramadan is over, it may seem like we have more time on our hands for other things and the routine that we were so accustomed to following may no longer be applicable. Although this may be the case to some degree, let's make sure that the time we spend on a daily basis adds value to either your life or someone else's. This will ensure that every minute that passes is directed towards something positive, because positivity is in fact contagious.
I hope you all enjoyed this blog post! I would love to hear from you and read what you have learned over the past 30 days so please feel free to share your thoughts by leaving a comment below!

Mostert: Lyon has no claim
Golden Lions Rugby Union Chief Executive Rudolph Straeuli told rugby365 that they have a two-year contract with Mostert and he will return to the franchise for Super Rugby in February.
Mostert is currently "on loan" to the Black Rams in Japan.
Straeuli was reacting a report that the French club, Lyon, had threatened with legal action, because Mostert had not reported for duty at the team's Matmut Stadium in the Rhône-Alpes.
Lyon Olympique Universitaire, or LOU as they are often referred two, spat the dummy this week when they noted that Mostert is in Japan.
"Lyon Rugby notes with alarm that Franco Mostert is in Japan and is training with the Black Rams, while he has committed to two years with our club," the club said on their website.
"Faced with this serious violation of contract, law and basic values of rugby which are that a commitment is respected, the club will take all the necessary measures to see justice is done and is approaching the competent legal and rugby authorities," the terse statement concluded.
Contacted by the French news agency AFP, Lyon refused to give details on which authorities they had approached.
Straeuli hit back, claiming that Lyon is in fact on the wrong side of the law.
The 25-year-old lock, who has four Springbok caps since his debut against Ireland in June, was 'unveiled' by the French club as a new signing in March.
"Franco [Mostert] has signed with us [GLRU] for the next two years and is currently on loan in Japan," Straeuli told rugby365.
"He was under contract with us when they [Lyon] made the announcement that he has signed with them," the Lions boss said, adding: "According to World Rugby's regulations you can't sign a contract with a player while he is still under contract with another team.
"If you want to negotiate with a player under contract, you need to give notice to that team and they never gave us notice – which means they were in breach of the regulations.
"They did not follow the correct procedures."
Straeuli confirmed that there have since been communications between the French club and the GLRU.
"We pointed out the Lions' legal position on the matter," Straeuli said, adding: "They are aware of the fact that we feel they are at fault."

The Republic of Equatorial Guinea launched its first workshop, on May 4-7, aimed at developing a system to analyze teaching strategies and assess children's progress at the elementary-school level. The workshop, attended by teachers and regional administrators, is part of the 'Equatorial Guinea, My Country' project, whose broader aim is to evaluate the current education system and institute policies for improvement.
The project will evaluate general elementary-school strategies and will develop training to enable teachers to more effectively assess children's progress. The new programs will be implemented by the Educational Development Program of Equatorial Guinea (PRODEGE), which is supported by the Ministry of Education. "Elementary School education should be given special attention as it is the pillar of children's education," said Crisantos Ondo Asumu Mia, PRODEGE Deputy Director.
Education is one of the priorities outlined in Equatorial Guinea's Horizon 2020 development plan, which was set in motion by President Obiang to move the country toward a sustainable and emergent economy. The plan includes the development of new schools and teacher training.
Since beginning the large-scale export of oil from Equatorial Guinea, and in cooperation with international organizations, the country opened its first national university, the National University of Equatorial Guinea (UNGE), and has graduated more than 13,000 students since its founding in 1995. The level of education in Equatorial Guinea is improving, and the country enjoys an enrollment rate of nearly 5,000 students at the college level.

This weekend is the Chesapeake Bay Bridal Show at the Annapolis Maritime Museum and Fit 2 Be Wed will be there! If you're in the Annapolis area try to stop by from 2 to 5 PM. There will be tons of great vendors and giveaways. I certainly understand that weekends can be busy but they shouldn't keep you from sticking to your diet and exercise plan. Here are a few tips to keep you committed on your weekends.
1. Turn workout time into play time. Weekends give you the opportunity to head outdoors and try new things. Go kayaking, hiking, or bike on an outdoor trail.
2. Make it social. Exercise is always fun with friends. Instead of going to the movies get your friends together for bowling, golfing, or rock climbing.
3. Set goals. If you want an active weekend, plan one! Try a fitness class that is only offered on the weekends and do it every Saturday for a month. Walk for an hour every Sunday evening. Set your goal and be committed!
4. An occasional night out isn't going to set you back. If you do break your diet and fitness routine every weekend it will get in the way of your goals. Who wants to work out after eating too much or drinking all night? No one. Make sure to eat healthy, catch up on sleep, and drink lots of water.
Have an awesome weekend!

Title: The Santa Mug
Author: Patric Michael
Publisher: Dreamspinner Press
Genre: Contemporary M/M
Length: Novella (74 PDF pages)
Rating: 4.5 stars out of 5
Summary Review: Sometimes getting your present late is the best gift of all.
When Marlon died on Christmas Eve, Darren withdrew from the holidays, and life in general, until Max, the man who introduced him to Marlon, invites Darren to his parents' house for Thanksgiving. Darren agrees and is immediately overwhelmed by Max's large, boisterous family. He tries to retreat behind familiar barriers, but Max has other ideas for the reclusive young man. It's not until Max delivers Marlon's last Christmas gift, four years late, that Darren truly understands that love is the greatest gift of all.
I had this book for a year and intended to read it over the holidays in 2009 but forgot once the season was over and life took it's usual toll. This year I was determined to read and review it and I'm truly sorryI waited so long because this is such a wonderful story about love and loss and love regained – the best kind of holiday book or any book about romance.
Darren had lost his lover Marlon 4 years ago on Christmas Eve in an automobile accident. His life remained at a standstill – it was probably more of a retreat as he withdrew from all his friends because he couldn't bear to be around them without Marlon, especially on the holidays. He no longer cared what happened to him because he didn't feel life was worth living any more. He and Marlon had been inseparable and he had always depended on him to be his anchor. Darren had no family of his own as they had disowned him when he came out and when he lost Marlon he was bereft. He abandoned his friends and only his best friend of 5 years, Max remained in his life, who made sure he was okay. As he was drowning his sorrows at the approach of yet another holiday Max called to invite him to celebrate Thanksgiving with his family. At first he didn't want to go but Max had always been good to him so he figured, for a few days he could be Max's friend.
When they arrived Max's parents assumed they were a couple and gave them his old room. The other members of Max's family also treated them as a couple even though they both denied it and eventually they gave up since no one was listening. However for Darren, Maxwell's family and the warmth of their welcome were insidious and gradually the ice around his heart started to melt. It took Darren a little while to open up to Max but with help from Max's rambunctious family he was fighting a losing battle as he began to see Max for the person he was, someone who had stood by him and loved him for years. But what of his abiding love for Marlon? Max had lovely surprise present for him which made all the difference, a Santa mug.
I thought that The Santa Mug would be the usual holiday fare but it turned out to be original and heartwarming as well as heartbreaking, as I relived Darren's and Marlon's life together and understood why the holidays meant so much to Darren. Some of the scenes, especially those where they trimmed their last Christmas tree together were really poignant and touching. Darren's character started out as someone who faded into the woodwork and whose shoes didn't leave any impression in the snow because his personality was so tied to Marlon who, even in death was vibrant and colourful, and through Darren's memories their love for each other shone. Now he had to learn to live without his crutch and be someone in his own right. Max, the best friend who always stood by him that he took for granted, was not as forceful initially, but he was an excellent foil for Darren and proved to be exactly what he needed – not another Marlon but someone who had his own place in Darren's life.
What made this book so appealing to me was Max's incredible family, each of whom was well drawn – from his twin neices to his siblings and especially his wonderful parents Emily and Carl who probably needed their own book. 🙂 Max's and Darren's courtship evolved from a safe comfortable friendship to romantic love, and although there is sex in The Santa Mug it's not as explicit as some readers may be accustomed to or want but the story is well worth the investment. As for Marlon's last gift which showed how much he loved Darren, in the end it wasn't the gift that mattered so much as the man who brought it to Darren.
I have always loved Patric Michael's stories and have reviewed a couple of them. He has a style all his own which shows that a memorable story does not have to hit you in the face but that subtlety is just as effective.

How do traditional therapy and other forms of body work differ from what we do at Body Resonance?
Body Resonance Myofascial Wellness Center, LLC is different from traditional physical therapy, massage, or chiropractic facilities because we address a significant and commonly overlooked head-to-toe system and structure of the body – the fascial system. In doing so, we address the root cause of the pain, not just the symptoms. By treating the actual root cause, symptoms can finally be eliminated. We use a holistic, whole body approach and perform strictly one-on-one treatments that produce effective and lasting results.
At Body Resonance, we look beyond the traditional methods of masking the pain or placing a superficial "band-aid" on areas that call for more than a temporary cover-up solution. Authentic healing and recovery is achieved by addressing your entire body's structural imbalances in addition to other underlying past emotional or physical traumas that are held within your tissue memory; only then will you be able to experience true, long-lasting effects that allow you to fully feel and function better, enabling you to return to the pain-free lifestyle you desire.
Our specialty in Myofascial Release (MFR) allows us to view each patient as a unique individual, and is particularly helpful in the treatment of both new and stubborn or chronic problems that have not been resolved by traditional methods. Our highly trained therapists use a multitude of manual techniques and movement therapy. We promote independence through education in postural awareness and proper body mechanics, self-treatment instruction, enhancement of strength, and improvement in flexibility and overall quality of life.
Our therapists have extensive training in MFR taught by John F. Barnes, PT, LMT, NCTMB, the leading authority on Myofascial Release, international lecturer, author, and acknowledged expert in the areas of physical and massage therapy since the 1960s, It is essential to be aware that there are many who advertise the use of MFR, but misleadingly practice an old, forceful, solely structural, and aggressive form of care. This old form does not follow the guidelines of the current holistic form of Myofascial Release as instructed by John F. Barnes. Therefore, it is important to seek an MFR therapist who specializes in the John F. Barnes approach for the ultimate whole mind-body care. This work is not simply considered "alternative" therapy; it is authentic therapy and the most natural, intuitive, and safest form of true healing on many levels. It is one of the most effective forms of treatment in healthcare today.
We are here to facilitate your healing through Myofascial Release & Physical Therapy.
Rowena Cua is a Licensed Massage Therapist specializing in JFB Myofascial Release. She is Nationally Certified in Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork. Rowena has had advanced and extensive training in Myofascial Release and has studied directly with John F. Barnes since 2006. She is an assistant instructor for his seminars. She is the host and facilitator of the Las Vegas MFR Study Group for local therapists. Her goals and intentions for BodyMFR is to create a healing environment and community of love and natural healing.
Her work with MFR began in 2005 as a patient suffering from migraines and women's health issues. As a former gymnast and athlete in competitive sports, she had injures that led to chronic pain. She found significant relief of her own chronic symptoms with Myofascial Release. As a patient, feeling and seeing the rapid improvements in her own health and well-being, she felt a strong calling to become a JFB MFR therapist after attending The John Barnes's Healing Seminar in Sedona, AZ in 2005. Rowena wanted to own her MFR wellness center to practice this powerful and sacred healing modality to help other people to get back to a healthy active lifestyle. Since then Rowena has focused on studying JFB MFR and continues taking seminars to deepen and expand her knowledge and manual skills further. Rowena has completed and repeated all of the required classes to be an Expert Myofascial Release Practitioner. She currently uses MFR as her primary modality along with Craniosacral Therapy and energy work. Rowena has also been a dedicated instructor and educator at European Massage Therapy School in Las Vegas, Nevada. She is also one of six members of the advisory board for the school. She has been invited to talk on multiple radio shows and health expos as an expert in Myofascial Release and Fascial Tissue Dysfunction, educating and promoting the healing benefits of authentic healing through Myofascial Release. She devotes her professional career to educating the public, fellow massage therapists, massage students, and personal trainers on the benefits of JFB Myofascial Release.
Her other trainings in therapeutic bodywork include techniques from Dr. Maka'ala Yates in Mana Lomi, a form of Hawaiian hot stone massage, Mojave Rain (TM) a Native American ritual with therapeutic essential oils by Jordania Goldberg, and aromatherapy with AromaTouch Technique and Raindrop Therapy. In addition, she has trained and studied Inca/Mayan Shamanism with Elena Radford.
Some of her clients include professional dancers, athletes, Circque de Soleil performers, MMA/UFC fighters, physical/massage/occupational therapists, attorneys, entrepreneurs and personal trainers. She also has extensive experience in treating pre and post natal mothers, infants and children.
Dr. Rosemarie Cua-De Leon received her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Stony Brook University in New York and also earned a B.A. in English from St. John's University. She specializes in Myofascial Release; had graduated with Cum Laude Honors and other university awards in academia, leadership, and community service during her undergraduate years; was the recipient of the Community Service Award in her graduating physical therapy class at Stony Brook University; and was an active athlete in many competitive sports throughout her years.
She has extensive experience from sports orthopedic clinics in addition to outpatient facilities specializing in geriatric care, chronic pain, and Myofascial Release. Throughout her career, she has worked closely with populations ranging from pediatrics and adolescents to adults and geriatrics with commonly treated conditions such as neck and back pain; headaches and migraines; neurological, and acute or chronic orthopedic conditions; gait and balance disturbances; as well as individuals status-post surgical procedures and those involved with sport/work-related or motor vehicle injuries; vertigo; TMJ dysfunction; and auto-immune disorders. She also worked heavily with New York City FDNY and Long Island firefighters.
During her clinical affiliations, she had presented a 100+ paged pamphlet for the effective use of the McKenzie Method and its interventions and proper progressions in treating spinal/postural disorders, in addition to presentations specifically involving spinal stenosis, herniated discs and proper body mechanics in various specialized settings. She uses myofascial release, cranio-sacral techniques, and energy work and also takes appointments for therapeutic exercise, neuromuscular re-ed, occupation-specific care, and agility and plyometric training.
Her journey as an MFR therapist began after being treated as a patient after undergoing a whiplash injury. She was fortunate to have trained with highly skilled MFR therapists, and continues to take formal courses with John Barnes regularly. In her experience with treating various populations, she finds that there is nothing more effective and all-encompassing in treating the human body than myofascial release. She is a firm believer in treating patients as a whole as opposed to a single segment or body part. She and Rowena believe that patient education allows for individuals to be more aware of their bodies and more prone to taking on an active role in their well-being, self-care, and overall healing process. They both find that a safe and loving atmosphere for patients promotes the greatest space for healing.
Don Devine carries his Nevada Massage License and is a member of Associated Massage and Bodywork Professionals. For over 15 years he has dedicated himself to improving health and quality of life through education and bodywork techniques.

His training includes John Barnes style Myofascial Release, Craniosacral Therapy, Structural Integration, Aroma (essential oil) Therapy, Neuromuscular Therapy, Injury Massage, and many other healing modalities.
Although a great deal of his experience has been in the spa setting on the world famous Las Vegas Strip, he has always focused on therapeutic work as a means to improve the quality of life in every treatment. After his introduction to John Barnes style Myofascial release, it was clear to Don that this is the most powerful type of mind-body therapy available. He is excited to be a contributing part of the team at Body Resonance Myofascial Wellness Center where he can focus on triggering the body's healing response through Myofascial Release.
As a former teacher and administrator at the Utah College of Massage Therapy Family of Schools, education is a very important part of Don's life and treatments. It has always been his practice to provide self-care information along with bodywork sessions. He feels that empowering people to be participants in their healing process is essential to that process. He is excited to carry this over to his work at Body Resonance Myofascial Wellness Center. His teaching credentials include Massage Basics, Advanced Massage, Injury Massage, Hydrotherapy, Structural Integration, and Professional Development. His former students have enjoyed successes around the world. It is difficult to find a spa on the Las Vegas strip with therapists who have not been influenced by his work as either a teacher or bodyworker.
Don is also a dedicated family man with a wife, three children, and a dog, all of whom have enjoyed his Myofascial Release treatments and are his greatest source of inspiration.

Thomas Haase: Organic and natural cosmetics for everyone everywhere.
Defying all his critics, Thomas Haase started developing effective cosmetics with a 100% natural basis, founding the company Laverana and the brand lavera on November 23, 1987. The company name Laverana already reveals that the brand and company are inextricably connected, as "lavera" stands for "true" and "na" for "natural cosmetics". In a time when everything revolved around chemicals, Thomas Haase discovered his lifelong dream and dedicated his life to a vision of "organic and natural beauty care for all". Since 1988, he has been developing the natural personal care market and leading Laverana as its founder and executive partner. The driving force behind Laverana since its foundation remains its goals of democratisation, differentiation, and internationalisation. Mr. Haase isn't interested in only being a short chapter in a book: he wants to make history, as well as a lasting impact on the world of personal care products.

Founder and Managing Director of Laverana GmbH & Co. KG
Since 1987, I've been developing natural care products that help everyone to feel comfortable in their skin. To me, nature is the only true way to beauty care. This idea has lived on and continues to develop, and is called lavera. For my natural beauty care, the wishes of our customers ought to always be the focus of research and development right from the start. Product quality is our highest priority. And that's why we have produced everything in-house in the Hanover region since the company's founding. From the very beginning, our goal has been natural cosmetics of the highest quality. We produce over 300 organic ingredients and more than 300 natural active substances ourselves. Our customers are my source of inspiration and orientation and customer requirements are the focus of research and development – for me and for the company.

Not sure how many of you tuned into the live webcast of the 2010 F/W runway show of Burberry Prorsum but if you didn't you surely missed out. First those boots came strutting down the runway and my mouth fell open a little, then I saw those gorgeous coats and that was it. Flies could have flown in my mouth- it was hanging wide open and I was drooling. My only problem with Christopher Bailey's Burberry collection was what coat did I like more? Every little detail in this collection is perfect and the color palette is gorgeous! I loved the big purses and the little bags. The white shearing coats at the end were amazing. The whole time I kept wishing there was a rewind button on the cast so I could go back and see more of the outfits. Of course the front row was lined with celebrities- from Anna Wintour, Mary Kate Olsen, Kate Hudson, Kristen Stewart, Claire Danes just to name a few. I so wish I lived in NYC at times like this when the show was live streamed in 3D to an invited audience! How freaking cool would that have been. Ugh- maybe next time? Anyways, enough of me proclaiming my love for this collection. Take a look at a few of my top favorites.
And these boots- my god- if only I had legs like these girls!
So what do you think of the 2010 F/W Burberry Prorsum collection?

- MAD and Madder
During the factious "Cold War", the the US and USSR
used the ruse of MAD, (Mutually Assured Destruction) as an instrument to
neutralize each other so each nation could undertake their own campaign of
robbing the third world of it's resources. Now the bankrupt Russians are
no longer able to hang in the arms race, because we close lined them with
a barrage of sophisticated "Economic Hit Men" charades that are still
making their heads spin. But the Russians are chess players, and you can
see how Putin interacts with Georgie. It¹'s like watching a constrictor in
a cage with a mouse. The mouse is jerking side to side, whiskers
desperately gauging the air of eminent death as the snake waits coiled to
strike like lighting. The Russians can no longer afford to project their
imperialistic power as in days gone by, but like a good chess player they
lay in wait as the U.S. wastes pawns, castles and knights.....they will
strike when the board is bare, and clean up the crumbs our depleted
military empire is no longer able to intimidate and defend, because we¹ll
be more broke than they ever were. MAD prevented any single power to run
rough shod over the available resources of the third world. Forget all the
freedom vs. communism rhetoric, It was A bombs. Now the prevalent
strategic thinking is little madder than MAD. "Terrorists" under the
current blueprint now control all the power. They are heading to our
shores with nukes, in planes, container ships, and 18 wheelers, storming
across our southern borders with black market bombs headed for Washington
DC.. Marshall George "Wyatt Earp" Bush is going to head them off at the OK
corral and "smoke 'em out". So Pre-emption is his only course. Incredibly,
this dangerous in vogue thinking is if we kill 'em now the terrorist won¹t
have the submarines, or hard bunkered ICBM's to counter a first strike and
hit us back. This blueprint really bends the mind. The type of desperate,
vengeance filled zealots we are going to create will never stop, unless we
address the issue of justice. A war on terror will never be won, it will
only be used to defeat freedom. I kinda like mad better than madder....
Sep 5, 2005 - $100 a barrel oil
How will the empire deal with oil prices like $100
dollars a barrel? The same way they've always done it. Make people live
with it! In the 1930's and 40's when the country's municipalities,
states and regions we're wrestling with the new issues of rapid
transportation, and alternatives like bus systems, trains, fuel efficient
cars, long life batteries and tires were proposed, these ideas would be
nixed in favor of the national interstate plan, and the suburbia, mall
system that followed. This system really shattered a way of life based on
community. Up until this time life emanated from a square, a public
market, people walked took buses or streetcars and talked and mingled with
one another. This new life centered around the car and individuals
listening to car radios and going to malls where everyone is a stranger.
Now the demons of that system are coming home to roost. Gas will become
like single malted scotch, enjoyed and afforded only by the rich. Airline
travel will be an unreachable luxury for most of us. How will the
authorities make us live with this situation? Terrorism. Why else is all
this legislation and new departments being enacted and formed like The
Patriot Act, The Department of Homeland Security, The Model States
Emergency Health Powers Act, the formation of the Northern Command, and
the new intelligence centralization? I think it is because the powers that
be will continue with this phony war on terrorism supported by false flag
operations like the Oklahoma City Bombing and 9/11 used to convince the
American public that we need to be protected and corralled for our own
safety, thereby saving gas and transportation for the privileged. Better
get in those long car trips you've wanted to take, next year you might
need a visa to get from California to Nevada.

Biomolecular Science
Biomolecular science is a discipline within the life sciences which focuses on cellular processes at the molecular level. There are a number of other disciplines within the life sciences which are broadly defined by the scale at which study takes place and the study methods that are used. Examples include;
- Biochemistry – the study of the fundamental chemistry of life, focusing on the chemical processes within and relating to living organisms.
- Molecular biology – the study of the structure and function of the macromolecules essential to life.
- Cellular biology – the study of the structures and functions of the cell as the basic unit of life.
- Biotechnology – the use of organisms and biological techniques to produce drugs and food.
- Genomics – the field concerned with the structure, function, evolution and mapping of genomes.
- Proteomics – the large-scale study of proteomes (sets of proteins produced in an organism, system, or biological context) and their interactions with each other.
- Pharmaceutical chemistry – the identification and synthesis of new chemical entities and the study of their structure-activity relationships.
