First let me start by congratulating my fellow hubbers, and Americans on the Republican(Big Corporations) side of the campaigns. As well I will give a big shout out to those of the Tea Party (Puppets of Big Corporations) movement. And I would like to offer my condolence to the rest of the country, and as well to the Tea Party (Puppets of Big Corporation) movement.<br />
<br />
Movement in this case seems to be such a fitting term, as that is what one does when their full of $h!t. Just like the Tea Party and it's candidates message and promises, Government is to big, ( the only thing that can be big is oil, corporations and well, Texas). We have to lower the deficit ( uh, uhm, duh don't ask me how they just told me to say that). We need to take our ( by our you mean big oil and big corporations right) country back. You do realize the only time it ever was, is, or will be <strong>your country</strong> is when <strong>they</strong> pull your strings right?<br />
<br />
<strong><u>My you seem bitter</u></strong><br />
Yeah it seems that way doesn't it, but really I'm not bitter I'm what you would call enlightened again. Now normally enlightenment would tend to be a good thing, unless of course when the light that comes on, sadly only reveals the bars of the cage and the three walls you were, aimlessly wandering around over and over again in search of an exit. And now suddenly realize the hopelessness of your situation and the undeniable fact that you are indeed not free!<br />
<br />
<br />
Yeah pretty gloomy sounding right, but shouldn't we all feel this way? Was there any victory here for any of us, does this not just lend itself to two more years of why nothing has been accomplished in the first place? The Republicans have spent the last two years with only one sole purpose. And was that purpose boosting the economy, creating jobs, or anything that would actually help America move towards recovery? No, that in fact with help of their puppets ( the Tea party candidates) was the last thing they wanted. Their only goal in any of their actions since 2008 was yesterday 11/2/2010. Congratulations, and Kudos to the Tea Party movement now please, step away from the Tea!<br />
<br />
Now I suppose I should go easy on the tea party supporters, after all they will soon realize the handful of candidates they pushed through. Aren't really the new voice of America but merely the same old big oil, big corporate funded voices of the past all shined up with painted nails, a pretty skirt, a stuffed bra and some sparkly glitter. And they will soon need our consoling once they finally get a glimpse of whats under the skirt and realize "oh crap I'm still gonna be taking it up the arse!" Just remember relax and lay there and in a few years they will let you on top for awhile again.<br />
<br />
<strong><u>Why the Civil War reference?</u></strong><br />
<br />
I use this reference for a few reasons, the obvious of course being that we all should know that's pretty much what it will be like at this point. As far as getting any policies passed through our Government for the next two years. We can only hope it will not lead to a literal event playing out in our cities as more and more become jobless, homeless and feel hopeless!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The other reason is because after hearing this phrase tossed about here and there by conservatives, and tea party supporters. I simply want to point out the one big fact they seemed to forget and miss about civil war, and that being that as a Country no one wins in a civil war! And with that in mind the words to this song seem to suddenly take on a new ( maybe not so new) meaning at this time period.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
"What we've got here is failure to<br />
<br />
communicate.<br />
<br />
Some men you just can't reach...<br />
<br />
So, you get what we had here last week,<br />
<br />
which is the way he (Big Corporation) wants it!<br />
<br />
Well, he gets it!<br />
<br />
Now I don't like it any more than you men." <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Look at your young men fighting<br />
<br />
Look at your women crying<br />
<br />
Look at your young men dying<br />
<br />
The way they've always done before<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Look at the hate we're breeding<br />
<br />
Look at the fear we're feeding<br />
<br />
Look at the lives we're leading<br />
<br />
The way we've always done before<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
My hands are tied<br />
<br />
The billions shift from side to side<br />
<br />
And the wars go on with brainwashed pride<br />
<br />
For the love of God and our human rights<br />
<br />
And all these things are swept aside<br />
<br />
By bloody hands time can't deny<br />
<br />
And are washed away by your genocide<br />
<br />
And history hides the lies of our civil wars<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Did you wear a black armband<br />
<br />
When they shot the man<br />
<br />
Who said "Peace could last forever"<br />
<br />
And in my first memories<br />
<br />
They shot Kennedy<br />
<br />
I went numb when I learned to see<br />
<br />
So I never fell for Vietnam<br />
<br />
We got the wall of D.C. to remind us all<br />
<br />
That you can't trust freedom<br />
<br />
When it's not in your hands<br />
<br />
When everybody's fightin'<br />
<br />
For their promised land<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
And<br />
<br />
I don't need your civil war<br />
<br />
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor<br />
<br />
Your power hungry sellin' soldiers<br />
<br />
In a human grocery store<br />
<br />
Ain't that fresh<br />
<br />
I don't need your civil war<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Look at the shoes your filling<br />
<br />
Look at the blood we're spilling<br />
<br />
Look at the world we're killing<br />
<br />
The way we've always done before<br />
<br />
Look in the doubt we've wallowed<br />
<br />
Look at the leaders we've followed<br />
<br />
Look at the lies we've swallowed<br />
<br />
And I don't want to hear no more<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
My hands are tied<br />
<br />
For all I've seen has changed my mind<br />
<br />
But still the wars go on as the years go by<br />
<br />
With no love of God or human rights<br />
<br />
'Cause all these dreams are swept aside<br />
<br />
By bloody hands of the hypnotized<br />
<br />
Who carry the cross of homicide<br />
<br />
And history bears the scars of our civil wars<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
"WE PRACTICE SELECTIVE ANNIHILATION OF MAYORS AND GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS<br />
<br />
FOR EXAMPLE TO CREATE A VACUUM<br />
<br />
THEN WE FILL THAT VACUUM<br />
<br />
AS POPULAR WAR ADVANCES<br />
<br />
PEACE IS CLOSER"<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Enough said!<br />
<br />
<strong><u>Doomsday 2012!</u></strong><br />
<br />
To this I can only say I so hope I am way off here. But I honestly do not see how our economy at this point can handle two more years of the Quagmirethat is most surely ahead. And for all you Obama haters, doubters and naysayers, now would be a good time to pray for him. Pray that he is a better man than those you support! Pray that he does not use their tactics!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I actually have some faith in this, and even more so hope we will now see the change he had hoped for and intended before he was side swiped by Big Money, Big Oil and Big Corporations! But I also fully realize these three will not go down without a fight, but hopefully we as Americans will realize next time they pull the strings, that we indeed are REAL BOYS!<br />
<br />
<strong><u>Enjoy some truth!</u></strong><br />

<br />
Maca (Lepidium meyenii): This herbaceous biennial or annual plant is native to the high Andes of Peru is a fused hypocotyl and taproot that is grown for use as a medicinal herb and a root vegetable. Some Spanish names of the plant are maca-maca, ayak chichira, maino and ayak willku. Maca has been grown and used by those in the Andean Mountains for centuries.<br />
<br />
According to history maca was used in trade for other lowland tropical foods, like corn, quinoa, papaya, tapioca and rice. There is also evidence it was used as a form of tax payment to the Spanish Imperial. As well often it is cited that it was conumed by Inca imperial warriors before going into battle.<br />
<br />
This little root is packed full of nutritional benefits. Making it somewhat of what we could call a natural power bar.<br />
<strong>Here are some of whats contained in this little wonder root.</strong><br />
<ul><li>sugars</li>
<li>Proteins</li>
<li>uridine</li>
<li>malic acid and it's benzoyl derivative</li>
<li>glucosinolates</li>
</ul><strong>With an average composition of:</strong><br />
<ul><li>60% - Cardohydrates</li>
<li>10% - Protein</li>
<li>8.5% - Dietary fiber</li>
<li>2.2% - Fats</li>
</ul><strong>Maca is also rich in these essential minerals:</strong><br />
<ul><li>Calcium</li>
<li>Selenium</li>
<li>fatty acids such as linolenic, palmitic, oleic and 19 amino acids.</li>
</ul>And all of these factors along with a chemical refered to as, p-methoxybenzyl isothiocunate, which is reported to have aphrodisiac properties. Are what many point to for explanation of the plants reported <strong>beneficial effect on sexual function</strong>. The <strong>nutitional value</strong> of dried <strong>Maca root </strong>is similiar to that of cereal grains such as rice and wheat.<br />
<br />
<strong>Preperation</strong><br />
In Peru, maca is consumed several ways, and traditionally it is always cooked. It can be freshly roasted in a pit as well and is considered a delicacy when prepared this way. The root may also be mashed and boiled producing a thick, sweet liquid. Or dried and mixed with milk to produce a porridge or mixed with other vegetables and or grains to produce a flour for use in baking. The leaves are also used in raw salads.<br />
With a growing demand in the suppliment industry there has been an expanse in the production of maca. With the main product being maca flour, which is ground from the dry, hard roots. The supplement industry uses both the flour and the dry roots in different types of processing and the concentration of the extracts.<br />
<br />
<strong><u>What studies have shown</u></strong><br />
In many studies done on Peruvian woman there has been a reported 60% increase in sexual drive. Other studies have shown that maca reduced enlarged prostate glands in mice. And in some clinical trials have shown maca extracts have also increased libido and improve semen quality in men.<br />
Though maca does not contain hormones, it is presumed that the hormone normalizing effects are due to the root's unique nutritional profile, that provides optimum levels of the nutrients that the body's endocrine system utilizes. Additionally maca has been shown to increase the mating behavior in rats and mice.<br />
And all this with the fact that there are no known harmful side effects make this little maca plant a must have addition to your current supplement program. Get your now and start your own trial what you may discover will open a new door of enhancement in your sexual relationship. And who would not want more of that?<br />

<br />
<br />
First off colds and the flu are infections caused by a virus not bacteria. A cold may only last a few days while it may take a week or more to get over the flu or influenza. And sadly some people develop life threatening conditions from the flu, like pneumonia.<br />
<br />
Who is most at risk? First of all the viruses are constantly changing over time. This makes all of us susceptible over our lifetimes to some form of the virus. Those with weakened immune systems due to <strong>poor nutrition</strong> and or high stress are most at risk.<br />
<br />
<strong>Symptoms include some or all of the following:</strong><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">•Runny nose, watery eyes, sneezing, coughing and sore throat. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">•Low grade fever for colds and high grade fever for the flu. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">•Fatigue, lethargy, muscle aches and pain are also most common with the flu. </div> <br />
<strong>A good start to your day, can help chase colds and flu away. </strong><br />
<br />
<br />
A study conducted in Wales of a hundred people showed that those who ate breakfast in turn had fewer colds. So if possible every season but especially during cold and flu season make it a common habit to have a healthy breakfast.<br />
<br />
<br />
Some good things to try our a glass orange juice, whole grain cereals or two slices whole grain toast, strawberries, grapefruit, tangerine, mangoes, guavas, lowfat yogurt (the live cultures are very helpful) and some cut pieces of cantaloupe all these will do wonders. <br />
<br />
Of course the main reason for these choices is for the vitamin C, the selenium and the live cultures all which assist our immune systems. As well the vitamin C does wonders for our energy level a much needed boost for the fatigue during a cold or flu.Studies show that although vitamin c may not prevent a cold it has been shown to shorten the length of time you may suffer from one. Also studies have shown that the live cultures in yogurt when taken regularly shortened the numbers of colds in those studied. And as well in studies of those with higher levels of selenium the suffered less dramatic effects from the flu than those with low levels. Selenium is abundant in most grains and thus the importance of whole grain cereal or bread.<br />

<strong>Ways to ease discomfort.</strong><br />
<br />
<em>Now lets look at some things we can do during a cold for relief.</em><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
•Ginger. A fragrant herb ginger can help your body be rid of virus. Simmer two to three slices of fresh root of ginger in about 12 oz of water for about 10 to 15 minutes for a smooth refreshing remedy. <br />
<br />
•Chicken soup.The healing power of chicken soup has finally been recognized by health experts. Researchers found that the hot liquid can soothe your sore throat and clear your nasal passages.As well it has been found to relieve upper respiratory tract infection symptoms as it reduces inflammation.<br />
<br />
•Hyssop. or hyssopus officinalis though its unsure its relation to the hyssop of the Bible. It has been used for centuries as a decongestant. It can be prepared as a tea to loosen phlegm or gargled to ease a sore throat. You can buy ready made tea bags of hyssop at most health stores and if you want added flavor try a little honey.<br />
<br />
•Pineapple juice and honey.If you have a severe cough your throat can become very scratchy and sore feeling. Try mixing 8-10 oz of warm pineapple juice with 2-3 teaspoons of honey for a soothing delicious drink.<br />
<br />
•Water, water and more water. This is the most important one, drink plenty of water. Whether low grade or high grade the fact you have a fever means you are losing fluids so you need to replace them. Water will also keep your throat moist as to prevent cracking which would let viruses in. Also you will want to drink enough water to flush your system so you should have at least 8 glasses or enough to run your urine till its clear.<br />
<br />
Another good suggestion to help calm yourself and your symptoms is by taking herbs such as echinacea, thyme, horehound and elderberry all which can be found in your local health store. Also for relief of that congestion try a few drops of eucalyptus oil added to a bowl of steaming water and place a towel over your head and inhale the vapors. You might continue to feel stuffy for about a half hour but be patient. Eucalyptus loosens mucus making it easier to cough up so you should soon be breathing with ease.<br />
<br />
Also remember since the flu virus is constantly changing it is important when possible to get a yearly flu shot when available. <br />
<br />
<br />
Again until next tip happy and healthy eating!<script type="text/javascript">

affordable DIY Kitchen remodel tips.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div>So I was in desperate need of doing something with my kitchen cheap cabinets, wood grain laminate counter tops, improper stove placement and so on. Yes my kitchen was a mess and ugly and impractical. But as most of you out there in these tough times I didn't have a truck load of money to hire a contractor or go out and buy all new cabinets, counters and such.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I also had the problem of a stove that worked but only in a manual mode ( me manually turning it off and back on after it cooled) as it had one temperature full blast. So a new stove had to go in the budget. Now while stainless is the obvious style of choice now there were two problems with that option. 1. I already have a fairly new nice white refrigerator. 2. You pay about $150 or more for the same stove in white or black or my choice ( you'll understand why later) white/black.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
So now to my cabinets when I said cheap I mean as in pressed wood with wood grain laminate plain flat no hardware kinda cheap. So refacing wasn't really a solution ( if I would have removed the old facing they would probably have fallen apart). So my option paint and trim out doors and add hardware. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
And this is where I need a color scheme. So white fridge, white/black faced stove hmmm? Okay I guess I'll go with white paint black hardware. So I removed all the doors pulled the drawers out washed them all down real good. And primed cabinet fronts and drawer fronts and edge and painted with semi gloss white latex paint.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Now a trip to Lowe's for cabinet hardware some one by's ( remember I said the stove placement was wrong) to use for backing mount that wasn't properly used before as I have to remove upper and lower cabinets to move stove layout. And also while at Lowe's I'm looking for ideas on what to do with counter tops. While looking in paint section I come across the station set up for garage floor finishes hmmm,,,. If I take some black paint ( not what they were selling for the garage floor $59.99 a gallon) and some of the sprinkles they have for the garage floor kit and a few good coats of polyurethane I could probably get a kinda black marble look.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
So I stroll around the paint section having noted that the garage paint was just an oil based paint, and yes I know latex is much easier app, and clean up but I picture dropping a pan or knife on my newly latex painted counters and can see a big peel off thing happening. So I'm going with the mess I browse a little and find a gloss black farm and ranch paint at $24.99 a gallon the price is right. I go back grab the tube of grey/white paint chips the poly and my plan is hatched.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">No I also need some trim for the cabinet doors I browse the trim section stuff is pretty expensive by piece then all the way at the end Wallah I find the 7' 12 piece white primed bundle pack around $22 perfect and again the price is right and cuts out the primer even better! Now my next problem is I have no miter saw ( really want one but $119.99 don't got one) Hmm here's a hand saw miter box kit $12.99 price is right and my arms could use the workout anyway!<br />

</div><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">So now I'm home my first step and oh yeah I also bought some 3" foam paint rollers cause I need a smooth finish. So I start a coat of black on the counters knowing I'm gonna have at least a good overnight dry time for the oil base paint. Get them all painted next measure all my cabinet doors noting how many pieces each size I.E. 2 doors same size at 16 1/2" x 21" means I need four pieces at 16 1/2" and four at 21" cut using the 45 degree angle in the miter box.<br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">So another day got all my measurements but first paint is dry on counter tops so I put my first coat of poly on and apply sprinkles by pouring in palm and then blowing them out of my hand for a more random look so as to not just look poured on. I found just trying to sprinkle them I ended up with too many were I started my sprinkle. So trust me go with the blowing them from your hand. Three to four hours dry time and then I will lightly sand with about 220-240 grit sandpaper.<br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><br />
<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Now to the miter box with my bundle of trim and measurements and we saw and saw and switch hands and saw and saw woo did I say my arms needed a good workout. Okay break time and a sandwich, a soda, a few aleeve a little ice for the elbow and back to the miter saw. Oh wait I think it's been three hours maybe I should sand the counter tops. So sandpaper in hand here we go, now here's where you gotta have a little trust.<br />
</div><br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Your gonna think when you look at the nice glossy shiny counters I can't rub sandpaper on that! But trust me you need to because you want about three coats and you can't just start rolling another coat on that glossy finish. Here's where you also want some stuff called tack cloth you'll find it with the varnishes and polyurethane its name pretty much describes it a tacky mesh cloth. Note this is to remove the dusting left behind from the sanding also note wear some gloves when you handle the tack cloth the residue doesn't wash off well with soap and water.<br />
</div><br />
<br />
<br />
All sanded and dust removed roll on your next coat and another three-four hours to dry. Oh goody now I can get back to sawing and saw and saw some more whew last piece. ( I really need a good compound miter saw for Christmas ). So now my new stove's in I replaced the cabinets using a proper backing boards for the uppers. <br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><br />
<br />
To explain this better I explain how the previous home owner had my cabinets mounted. You know how you have studs behind you wall right. And you realize when you start putting plates and glasses and can food in bunches in your cabinets well it's gonna get heavy so you want to have your cabinets screwed into the studs. Okay now picture holding your cabinets and even if you did mark your studs on the wall it's kinda hard to see or follow the up and down line thru the cabinet backing.<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><br />
<br />
So solution you take some one by one's or one by two boards you pull a common measurement say for instance 12" down from ceiling and say 48" up from floor you mark this the length your cabinets will span and then you can screw these two boards into your studs. Now you can just transfer these measurements as you place your cabinets up and as long as your say 12" down you can put a screw thru the support boards in the back of your cabinets. A little hint here make the measurement for you bottom one by flush with were you want the bottom of your cabinet to set you can then take a few blocks of the one by and screw them temporarily to the bottom of your backer board kinda making a foot or L shape. That way you can set the cabinet on this lip and then once you've secured it to the backer boards remove your blocks and move for the next cabinet.<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><br />
<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Okay now my cabinets are properly positioned and mounted securely. I put my stove in place and hook it up. And now another sanding, tacking and another coat of poly to the counters. Then I set my cabinet door fronts out on the floor and separate the proper trim pieces for each and put a tube of heavy duty construction adhesive in my caulk-gun and begin caulking a line around the outside front edge of the door. You'll wanna only caulk one or two doors at a time you wanna let the adhesive set for about five minutes and then start placing your trim pieces on.<br />
</div><br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">When you have all your pieces attached and set you'll then want to take a tube of paint-able caulk clear is best because we still need to paint a coat of our semi gloss latex paint. But first take the caulk-gun and run a line of caulk around the inside seams of your trim and the seams where your angles cuts line up wiping away the excess. I find it works to have a rag handy and just run your finger down each seam you just caulked and wipe off your finger after each seam. Now once this dries apply your coat of paint the caulk will make for a much cleaner solid finish with no seams.<br />
</div><br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Now it's on to the hardware I bought all black pulls and knobs while at Lowe's. And one other detail I forgot is my old door hinges were a rustic gold color ( and a few were just rusty) So while at Lowe's I thought about this and purchased a can of Gloss black spray paint. I then having removed all the hinges painted them noting that only part of them were visible so I mainly focused on spraying the parts that would be seen. Then once dried I reattached them to the doors and proceeded to mount my pulls and knobs. Note they sell a template for placing your pulls and knobs it helps you mark the for the proper size pull etc, so you can then drill your holes it's very cheap and a must have for ease of use.<br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><br />
<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">So I now just have on more sanding, tacking and one last coat of poly. I had a few of those little push lights I picked up at a Goodwill store so I mounted them under my top cabinets. I also wanted to add some stainless effects as I had also changed out my hanging light in my dining room and added a three spotlight bar where my old ceiling light was. And I picked them in a Silver finish. So I bought silver outlet and switch-plate covers and two silver finish plastic back-splash sheets they have at Lowe's. You can find these in a display back where Lowe's has their display kitchens. The only bad thing about them is the price just for the two pieces behind my stove cost me over $40. But I needed the look it really stepped my remodel up a notch as you can see in the pics.<br />
</div><br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">I did also score a can of miss matched paint that you see on the walls it's almost a sea foam color and at $5 for the gallon well the price was right. And I also got use from it in a bathroom that had two different wall papers and one strip painted for a total three different colors so the paint really paid off! So there it is for the most part including the stove I think this all cost under $500 it was a good investment I think. <br />
</div><br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">And there you have it I'm sure I might have left some things out so if you have any questions or comments please feel free. I'd be glad to share in any way.<br />
</div><br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">An added not I have since seen an add recently from Lowe's where they actually sell a kit for the counter tops that is exactly what I did catch they want around $149 for the kits so trust me just DIY.<br />
