URGE CONGRESS NOT TO VOTE FOR THE NEW DEAL

Obama announced a last-minute deal to raise the U.S.borrowing limit and urged
Congressmen to do the right thing and approve the proposed agreement to avert a
catastrophic default.Nevertheless, we urge Congress not to raise the limit,
because this is the only right thing to do!The three largest credit rating
agencies(CRA) Moody's, Standard & Poor's, Fitch do not like the new deal
either.There is only one solution to the dilemma faced by a government over its
inability to borrow more money.Shut it down!Stimulus funds stimulate government, not the economy.Downturn in a business
cycle is painful but necessary medicine for restoring equilibrium to the
economic system.Reject further lowering of the interest rate (stimulative
monetary policy) or any other attempts (for example, deficit spending or
stimulative fiscal policy) to stimulate demand.

The compromise would cut about $2.4 trillion from the deficit over the next 10
years.But this is peanuts, an insult to oue intelligence!While Senate
approval is likely, House's disapproval is more likely!The plan involves a
two-step process for reducing the U.S.deficit.The first phase calls for $900
billion in spending cuts over the next decade and the next $1.5 trillion in
savings must be found by a special congressional committee.

Every democracy is eventually hijacked by rabblerousers, pullpeddlers, clans of
kleptocrats, bumptious bugaboos, busybodies, butterbabies, nabobs of nepotism,
cranks of cronyism, pusillanimous pu**yfooters, riffraffs of rascals, socialist
sophists, and Machiavellian mafiosi.Democracy tends to kleptocracy.Anarchy
should replace democracy.Financial markets have a temporary upswing now.But for the rally to be durable,
markets will need more than this downpayment agreement.
Investors will look to a more coherent fiscal reform to emerge from the second
step and, more generally, for additional measures to remove structural
impediments to growth and jobs.Taxation is armed robbery that feeds the black
h*le of political corruption; it's the perfect index of corruption and tyranny.
Only evil governments tax citizens and companies.

The best thing that could ever happen to citizens would be that the majority of
the functions of government were shut down permanently.Jefferson said the two
enemies of the people are criminals and government, so let us tie the second
down with the chains of the Constitution so the second will not become the
legalized version of the first.Defense spending in the West is over two trillion euros a year.The West spends
twice on defense than the rest of the world combined.The West has over 1,000
foreign military bases and station troops in over 150 countries.Much of what
pa*ses for defense spending has no recognizable connection to West security.
Since maintaining a strong national defense has nothing to do with maintaining a
strong offense in every corner of the globe, foreign bases should be shut down.

When the government failed to protect the citizens from terrorists, parliaments
responded by creating new services of antiterrorism.But since we already have
Ministries of Defense, and the antiterrorist services have become a menace to
society, the airlines, like any other business, should provide their own
screening and security and the antiterrorist services should be shut down.The
government itself is the largest terrorist organization after all!

The war on drugs drains 100 billion euros a year. It has destroyed financial
privacy, eroded civil liberties, swelled prison populations, turned law-abiding
citizens into criminals, failed to reduce drug use, and ruined more lives than
drugs themselves.The war on drugs should be shut down.

The West provides some form of a*sistance to over 150 countries.Foreign aid
loots taxpayers and lines the pockets of foreign kleptocrats.Trillions of euros
have been doled out the last quarter of century.And with poverty, unemployment,
and crumbling infrastructure in the West, it doesn't even make any sense for
kleptocrats to send taxpayer money overseas.Spending on foreign aid should be
shut down.It's not yours to give!

Squandering taxpayers' hard-earned money on Third World is ridiculous.It's not
yours to give!There are many reasons for the failure of foreign aid.Foreign
aid has a widespread record of waste, fraud, and abuse. Aid programs have built
tennis courts in Rwanda, sent sewing machines to areas without electricity, and
constructed hospitals in cities where a dozen similar facilities already sat
half empty.three quarters of the peacekeeping budget.And then there is the money that
Western taxpayers are forced to give the World Bank and the IMF. Spending on
these globalist organizations should be shut down.

Universal Nudnik(UN) tends to enlarge its power and corruption.Ban Ki-moon,
the former South Korean foreign minister, has been a weak Universal Nudnik Civil
Pope.At Turtle Bay and elsewhere, the Civil Pope is seen as a disappointment
and as the wrong man to a*sume a prominent role and lead the global community at
a time when the world's political axis is shifting from America to Europe.Ban
is more secretary than general.Many global organizations suffer from the fact
that they are run by uncharismatic bureaucrats.In most cases, this is the fault
of the kleptocrats who prefer to elevate weak figures, who won't meddle too
much.

Western governments own over one billion acres of land, with ownership exceeding
50 percent in some states.All government land should be sold and the Ministries
of the Interior should be shut down.Internet can replace schools.Aside from that bloated bureaucracy of the
ministries of education, there is the National School Lunch Act, the Elementary
and Secondary Education Act; Pell Grants, research grants to colleges, Erasmus,
EIT, and student loans.And since most constitutions are silent on the
government's authority to spend one dime on education, spending on education
should be shut down.

There is no direct relationship between education and schooling.You might be
schooled but uneducated, and you might be educated but unschooled.Schools are
concentration camps for the drones of society.Unschooling is much better than
schooling.Internet is the best source of knowledge and information, replacing
schools, libraries, media, parliaments, and postoffice.

The government regulates and funds health care.Yet, most constitutions
authorize not a dime to be spent to do either. This means no Ministries of
Health and Human Services, National Institutes of Health, Medicare, Medicaid,
SCHIP, IKA, or funding of laboratories, community health centers, medical
research, clinical trials, family planning, vaccinations, or AIDS prevention
initiatives.Spending on medical care should be shut down.

You own your body and your soul, and nobody should dictate what you take in and
what you take out.Speech, education, heresy, habeas corpus, military service,
mating, healthcare, abortion, cloning, drugs, guns, and euthanasia should be
personal choices.

The space program funnels billions of taxpayer dollars and euros to privileged
scientists, researchers, and contractors.And since space exploration and
experimentation are no more legitimate purposes of government than providing
health care, they should be shut down.

State insurance is an entitlement program, an income transfer scheme, a wealth
redistribution plan, and a Ponzi scheme.It is a welfare program just like
unemployment benefits, food stamps, Head Start, farm subsidies, and housing
subsidies.State insurance taxes should be abolished and the program should be
shut down.

Without government spending on all of these things, there is one government
service that citizens certainly don't need: the tax service.All taxes should be
abolished and the tax services should be shut down.Taxes destroy the economy.
Raising tax rates is
masochism.Smart stimulus is to cut tax rates.Stupidus stimulus is to increase
spending, which stimulates the cancer of statism!

Debt ceiling or no debt ceiling, deficit or no deficit -- all of these
unconstitutional ministries, agencies, boards, commissions, authorities,
bureaus, divisions, services, administrations, and programs should be shut down.
This is not complicated.Constitutions delegate certain limited powers to the
government.Every other purpose of government is illegal.

Making Interesting and Healthy Salads

At first I wasn’t going to post this because I think making salad is something that everyone does, particularly in the summer.However once I thought about it realized that there are a few tricks to making an interesting and healthy salad.After I realized that I knew I should write something on the topic.Here are a few salads I made so far this weekend.The first was a quinoa and veggie salad.This one contained cold cooked quinoa, diced cucumbers, julienned carrots, dried tart cherries, cilantro and green onions and pecans.I dressed this simply using only lemon zest, lemon juice and no salt seasoning.The second salad was also a grain and veg salad.It was a simple salad which contained: cold cooked barley, shaved kohlrabi, artichokes, diced cucumber, tomato, and parsley.I wanted this one to have an Italian flavor and dressed it with red wine vinegar and nutritional yeast.The third salad was all veg, no grain.This one contained raw corn, shaved kohlrabi, diced cucumbers, artichokes, cilantro, tomato, and walnuts.I dressed this salad with fresh lemon juice and no-salt seasoning.

The first thing you will notice is that I don’t use oil on my salads.This isn’t a surprise to my long time readers since you know that I don’t use oil at home except for the occasional splurge with truffle oil or roasted sesame oil.This was a tough habit for me to break being part Italian.I was convinced that salad wouldn’t be any good without unfiltered extra virgin olive oil initially.However I have been away from oil so long now that salad which contains oil just tastes greasy to me.The other thing that I noticed is that oil mutes the flavor of the other ingredients in the salad.I never realized that until I gave it up.It does take a month or more to get used to food without oil, but once you get used to it you won’t go back.Plus your arteries will thank you.

I like to add nuts or seeds to my salad in lieu of oil.They add good fat to help your body absorb the fat soluble vitamins in the salad.

When I make salad I try to make sure that at least 50% of the ingredients in the salad are raw.I do this for both texture and nutrition.В  You will notice that the kohlrabi is raw and that is because it is a member of the cruciferous veg family and is far more nutritious when it is raw or lightly cooked.

In additionВ I intentionally vary the texture of the vegetables.Some of them are cut into chunks, others julienned, and still others shaved.This adds interest to the salad.

I also love to add fresh herbs to salad because they add wonderful flavor intensity.В  However herbs also add nutrition so add as many as you like.

Sometimes I add fresh or dried fruit to salad and that always adds a nice little variation to a straight veg or fruit salad.The dried fruit is particularly nice when you want pops of sweet intensity.

Salad dressings are something that I had to play around with for a while to get a feel for what we like.I always start with an acid base either: balsamic, wine vinegar, or citrus.To the acid base I add something that will help the dressing emulsify and this is either Dijon (which works great), miso or a nut cream (walnut and raw cashew are my favorites).Once you have the base done add any flavorings you like.These could be grated garlic or ginger, herbs or spice, poppy seeds, and maybe a little sweetener like stevia.After you start making no oil dressing you will find that they are simple to prepare it just takes a little time for your brain to adjust to the idea of no oil.If you want something really simple use straight balsamic glaze or pomegranate mola*ses.Both of these are thick as is and they add plenty of flavor.

Happy Thoughts:

- We had a lovely laid back Saturday.It was great to hang out at home and relax and recharge our batteries.We ate popcorn watched a movie and took it easy most of the day.В In case you are interested I flavored the popcorn with nutritional yeast, smoked paprika, dill, no-salt seasoning and powdered garlic.В  :-) - Sunday morning we had a great trip to the farmers’ market.We picked up our usual enormous haul of produce.This week we brought home: zucchini, eggplant, kale, portabellas, red potatoes, cabbage, cantaloupe, watermelon, cucumbers, tomatoes, bell peppers, cilantro, wheat germ, wheat bran, wh*le rye berries, steel cut oats, and mango curry hummus from the hummus stand.It was definitely a good haul this week.They have opened a «flea market» at Sonar next to the farmers’ market.This is where we picked up the organic wh*le grains.If you are downtown next Sunday check out the organic grains they have.I was very pleased with the variety and the prices.

- The fur children seem to have rebounded from their recent trips to the doctor.Luca is toddling around and smacking her brothers just like always.Masi is moving a little slower than usual but it might just be the season.My little ones seem to be less active in the summer even though they are in the air conditioning.

- I am enjoying reading «Younger Next Year».If you want to understand the science behind why it is a good idea to exercise everyday this is the book for you.I checked this out from the library but will be buying this for my Kindle because I can see myself referring to it often.- My laziness reallyВ paid off this morning.I was making a batch steel cuts oats to share with Dan today but I wanted savory oats and he wanted fruit and nut oats.I took some oats out for me and then put his breakfast together.Since I didn’t feel like running to the pantry to grab nutritional yeast I ended up making sushi oats for myself and loved it.I will share the details in the next post.While it sounds odd I promise you it was delicious.:-)

Signing Out:

We have other errands to run today so I need to get moving.I hope you are having a wonderful weekend.Talk with you again soon.

Many Cholesterol Patients Don't Take Drugs

CARY, N.C., July 30 (UPI) -- There are significant differences between those diagnosed with high ch*lesterol and those with high ch*lesterol and hypertension, U.S.researchers say.Jessica Brueggeman, director of behavioral services at MicroMa*s Communications in Cary, N.C., says despite these differences, one striking similarity is evident -- neither group is very good at taking ch*lesterol-lowering medications as prescribed.Patients with high ch*lesterol alone perceive high ch*lesterol as influenced more by heredity than by poor eating and exercise habits, and are less likely to see the benefits of taking ch*lesterol-lowering medications, Brueggeman

Seeing red

I was sitting on my deck on this glorious summer day, enjoying the buzzing of hummingbirds, chirping of Flycatchers, and the sound of wind through the pine trees.
Then, I caught a waft of smoke.Yes, smoke.

It dissipated so fast that I thought that it was an apparition.So, I returned to enjoying the day.A few minutes later, another waft hit me.That's odd, I thought.

A Dinosaur Safari

I recently took my children to one of the local botanical gardens.They were having a dinosaur exhibit throughout the park.

I handed the map to my children, who were more than happy to navigate our way through the park, keeping track of where we should see various dinosaurs.

The first few were easy to find, but later dinosaurs took a more practiced eye to see in the foliage.It made it feel more likeВ a real safari.

During that day, I also discovered my daughter’s love of photography.I myself love photography, although I’ve never taken the time to learn much about it.Perhaps that will be the push for me to start learning in order to help her.

The gardens were beautiful.

Signs near the dinosaurs gave limited facts about the species, to which my children added.

A discussion ensued about which of today’s animals were related to which dinosaurs.

Some of the exhibits were quite life-like.

We rehasehed our old debate about whether dragons were more likely to be warm or cold blooded.That’s a topic for another day, but we are still in the warm blooded camp.

By the time we made it to the end of the park, we were in full swing.I gave a stage whispered, «Don’t move!» My children looked around to see what it was I saw, spotting the great T-Rex.

FromВ which we had to run for our lives.

Memories and Friends

Forever lasts a memory
So build them every day
Tomorrow you will see
They are all that stay

You blink your eyes
The years have flown by
Before youВ can realise
That your memories won’t die

True friends stay together
Through the thick and thin
Hard times they weather
From when they first begin

And never say goodbye
No matter what the distance
On friends you rely
For all of time’s existence

With you they will go
Into the great unknown
To reap what you sow
The harvest love has grown.

How a doctor reversed her husband's Alzheimer's disease in 37 Days

Dear User1481.Magic@Blogg - Dr.Frank Shallenberger relays this powerful story in very moving terms.And you'll be surprised with the way it all turned out.How a doctor reversed her husband's Alzheimer's disease in 37 DaysNew breakthrough improves memory...restores lost brain function...and even revives dying cells! If you've ever known anyone with Alzheimer's disease, you know how heart-breaking it can be. Not only does it destroy a person's mental abilities and dignity...but it wipes out the person's very personality, leaving behind a mere shell of a human being. The body is there for you to see, but the person you know and love no longer exists.

That's exactly what happened to my colleague Dr.Mary Newport and her husband Steve. As Mary describes it, "I was watching my husband of 36 years fade away."

Things didn't start out that way, of course. For most of Steve's life, he was known for his quick wit and sharp mind. He could do complicated math in his head ...take apart computers and repair them ...fix practically anything else without instruction. If he didn't have a tool to do something he would "invent" one and make a usable prototype. He was also a voracious reader. And he loved kayaking, cooking, landscaping, and caring for his two daughters.

Indeed, on the day the couples' first daughter was born, Steve left his corporate job as an accountant so he could work from home. He took over as manager of Mary's medical practice, handing all the accounting and administrative tasks. The practice grew by leaps and bounds. Tragedy Strikes But then Steve's memory started failing him. At first, it was little things, like misplacing his keys and forgetting appointments. But then the lapses became more serious. He started making errors with the accounting and payroll. Forgetting whether had had made the bank deposits. Missing tax deadlines.

A psychiatrist diagnosed him as having depression, and put him on antidepressant drugs and psychological counseling. But of course, that didn't help. Steve's memory continued to get worse. He started getting lost while trying to drive home. He couldn't even remember how to turn on the car's windshield wiper.

By now it was clear that Steve had dementia. Mary wrote in her journal: "It has been a nightmare to watch his decline. Every night, we hold each other before we go to sleep and I wonder how many more times we will get to do this."

Mary took Steve to a neurologist, who put him on the drugs Aricept, Namenda, and Exelon. But still, Steve continued to worsen. He'd spend his days walking around the house confused, wearing only one shoe. He couldn't remember how to use a spoon or how to get water out of the refrigerator. At a family reunion, he no longer recognized close relatives. He even forgot that he had fathered his oldest daughter.

Mary did everything she could for Steve. She cooked for him, gave him his medications, helped him get dressed.

She also tried to enroll him in studies on new experimental drugs. But Steve scored so low on the mental exam that he didn't qualify for the studies.

When Steve took the Mini Mental Status Exam (MMSR), he scored a 14 out of 30, which indicates severe dementia. And when he took a test where he was asked to draw a clock from memory, this is what he drew: And that's not all. When Steve took a genetic test for Alzheimer's, he tested positive for the leading Alzheimer's gene. And when he had an MRI of his brain, the MRI found a shrinking of the hippocampus and damage to his frontal and parietal lobes.

Still, there were brief moments when the old Steve would make a brief appearance. Sometimes he'd be able to hold a coherent conversation. Sometimes, he would even say something clever or crack a joke. One day, Mary asked if a certain phone call came and he said "no." Two days later, he remembered the call and what the caller said.

In Mary's words, it was "Strange to have no short-term memory and yet the information was filed somewhere in his brain. I knew he was locked up in there somewhere, if only there was a key to open up the areas of his brain that he didn't have access to." We want your feedback!
