There are a variety of packages available to help get you started. The StemTech Difference Of the trillions of cells in the human body, about 1.5 trillion reside in the bone marrow. Of these, about 150 million have unique properties that allow them to be characterized as stem cells. Everybody has stem cells; everybody uses stem cells; everybody uses stem cells every day; stem cells work… and they work every time! Christian Drapeau A company can only be a pioneer and make a difference in the world, if it’s willing to take risks and do the right things that others are not willing to do in order to succeed. Scientific research is a cornerstone to the success of the Stemtech product line. Very few nutritional supplement companies invest the significant time and money it takes to prove the efficacy of their products. Some companies even try to point at our research and claim it as their own. Stemtech does research specifically on our own products, and publishes the results of that research in leading scientific journals. We continue to lead our industry, as experts in stem cell nutrition, by continually striving to improve our product offerings with advanced formulas, along with developing new life-changing products over time. You can be assured that when you take Stemtech products, you will experience the benefits we claim, because we’ve not only seen the results first hand with tens of thousands of happy customers, but we’ve proven it in the laboratory and clinical setting.

Having tried various therapies and products to no avail I was most anxious to began taking stem enhance, the best decision I could have made.I can now straighten my knee for the first time in 71/2 years after having unsuccessful surgery and am now without pain.

Statistics show that one in fire youth will experience County Corner ... By Ryan T. Cook, Public Information Officer. Happy November! Hard to believe that this month we will be eating turkey and seeing holiday commercials! For Mesa County government, we are working on finishing the 2014 budget before the December 9 deadline. A preliminary budget was brought to commissioners on October 14. The budget accounted for a downturn in assessed property values and sales tax collections. For Mesa County government, over 1/3 of our source of funding comes via property and sales tax. We are budgeting for a little over 5% decline in overall revenue, which means, of course, we must cut our budget by at least that amount. When the new board of commissioners took office, they implemented a new strategic plan for Mesa County. The strategic plan is the vision of the near-term future for the county with measurable objectives to help the county reach its goals. Part of the challenge of reducing the budget is ensuring we are staying true to the vision the commissioners’ laid out in the strategic plan, especially in the areas of public safety and economic development. To that end, special consideration is being placed on protecting funds allocated for those areas. The commitment to fiscal discipline and responsible budgeting has never been higher, and as we finalize our 2014 budget, you can be confident the interests of the people of Mesa County, for instance, stated values in public safety, economic development and self-sufficiency, are being listened to and considered by our leaders. Follow us on Facebook for more updates on the 2014 budget process. In other financial notes of interest, the county’s Finance Department was recently awarded the highest honor in governmental budgeting by the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA). Each year since 1993, the county has made a commitment to the budget presen- GRAND JUNCTION CHRYSLER • JEEP • DODGE • RAM Donate Christmas Toys for Military Children The Colorado National GuardWestern Slope will be delivering their special Toy Boxes around the Grand Valley starting in November.

These materials are designed to inform the public of how the county budget works, show the various funding sources, report where the money is allocated and explain why allocations are made. The information is collected and presented in a manner that meets stringent requirements set by the GFOA. The significance of this award means that Mesa County residents can feel confident in the transparency of the budgeting process and the competence of the finance department. Also in October, aid was sent to help flood-ravaged Weld County. Over 600 lane miles of roads were destroyed in the September floods that crippled Greeley and the surrounding areas. This came during harvest time for their very agriculture-dependent economy. The Mesa County Public Works department sent four employees and four double-axle construction trucks to assist in the cleanup and rebuilding effort. By receiving this assistance, Weld County farmers were better able to get their crops to market and avert a disaster within the disaster. The Mesa County work crew was in Weld County a total of ten days. Weld County is using FEMA aid to reimburse Mesa County for all unwrapped toy to a military child in need. These donations will help military families that are struggling during the holiday season. They also invite all branches of the military, Veterans, and survivors of our fallen who could use some assistance with the cost of holiday shopping. Come join the National Guard for a fun, FREE day of shopping on Saturday, December 14, 9am to 2pm, at the National Guard Readiness Center, 2820 Riverside Parkway, behind the Regional Center on D Road. For those who come, remember: Military ID must be presented. For questions or more expenses, including salaries, lodging, meals and fuel. Finally, an important economic development construction project was completed with the dedication of the Powderhorn (also known as E ¼) Road improvements. The winding road leading to the Powderhorn Mountain Resort was given a 16-foot gravel shoulder on the north side of the road. In addition, the road was moved about 20 feet away from a steep drop off. Drainage was also improved. Prior to construction, overflow parking on the narrow roadway would impede traffic and emergency vehicles. With the addition of these improvements, Powderhorn Mountain Resort is better primed for further growth, providing benefits not just to the County through increased tax revenues, but to the many residents and visitors that seek out the recreational opportunities the resort provides. Funding this project was important from an economic development standpoint, as well as a safety standpoint.

Our November issue is always a bittersweet issue for us. We are always reminded of the passing of my best friend and our sales holds true 14 years later. Dan was 47 when he got to go on his next journey. He was a man of God and even preached part-time at his church. I still have some of his sermons on tape. It’s comforting to hear his voice in those sermons. Maybe this year it’s hitting harder because now I’m 47. Tough to say, but our November issue always reminds me of the good ole days of hanging out with Dan. We will meet again someday, old friend. Until then, I will watch over this little paper.

In “more importantly, most importantly,” people, there is NO “LY” on “important!” I used “more importantly” once in a ninthgrade essay, and my teacher rightly red-marked it. “More/most important” is an adverbial phrase, set off by commas. You don’t need to— hell, you shouldn’t—add the “ly.” It’s unnecessary overkill. But the damage is done—99% of us now use the “ly” and assume we’re smart.

You may take longer to scrutinize, but that is further scrutiny, not closer scrutiny. 9. “some-odd” In her lilting, nasal voice, a newsreader reported that “fifty-some-odd” people were injured in a bus-train accident. I thought, “How odd were some of those people?” What the newsreader meant was that a group of people numbering between 50 and 60 sustained injuries. She could have said, “fifty-some” or “fifty-odd” people—although, if I were among the injured, I’d appreciate her giving the precise count, because I am one, I am important, and I am injured! In any case, some-odd is some odd usage. 10. Butchered clichés. Clichés are as common as hair on an ape, and we used to avoid them like the plague. Actually, there’s nothing wrong with clichés. They’ve lasted because they carry kernels of truth and are effective shorthand for conveying ideas. Movie mogul Samuel Goldwyn, baseball great Yogi Berra, and “All in the Family” pater familia Archie Bunker were prime cliché butchers. Sometimes, when slightly altered, clichés can impart askew, new messages, as when a friend once meant to say, “There’s something rotten in Denmark” but said instead, “There’s something dismal in Bismark.” He also once described a dilemma he faced as “a two-pointed sword.” Years ago, a local talk radio host, trying to be hip and profound, mutilated clichés. He replied to callers with, “What’s good for the goose is good for both genders,” and “It’s always darkest before the light at the end of the tunnel.” He would then prattle blithely on in his unending mission to reiterate the obvious. The wordsmith says that this man was prime bureau-crap material, because he so well represented the media-crity passing for competence among today’s informationmongers. “Down Town’s Best Restaurant” One master bedroom with master bath/Jacuzzi.

If not, you’ll need to factor in the time needed to sell. If you rent, when is your lease up? Do you expect interest rates to jump anytime soon? All these factors will affect your buying, closing and moving timelines. 2. Think long term Your future plans may dictate the type of home you’ll buy. Are you looking for a starter house with plans to move up in a few years, or do you hope to stay in the home five to ten years? With a starter, you may need to adjust your expectations. If you plan to nest, be sure your priority list helps you identify a home you’ll still love years from now. 3. Be realistic It’s okay to be picky about the home and neighborhood you want, but don’t be close-minded, unrealistic or blinded by minor imperfections. If you insist on living in a cul-de-sac, you may miss out on great homes on streets that are just as quiet and secluded. On the flip side, don’t be so swayed by a “wow” feature that you forget about other issues, such as noise levels, that can have a big impact on your quality of life. Use your priority list to evaluate each property, remembering there’s no such thing as the perfect home. 4. Limit the opinions you solicit! It’s natural to seek reassurance when making a big financial decision. But you know that saying about too many cooks in the kitchen. If you need a second opinion, select one or two people. But remain true to your list of wants and needs, so the final decision is based on criteria you’ve identified as important. If you are in the market to buy, sell or invest in real estate, you can speak with a Realtor to help you get an idea of what properties are for sale or what current values are if you are interested in selling * From BuyAndSell.HouseLogic. com By: G.

Ste 100, 970244-9234. www.Diva-Team.com By Barry Smith barry@barrysmith.com An open letter to my junior high basketball coach…. Dear Coach Gasparini, I’m writing to you after all these years to ask for your forgiveness. You probably don’t remember me, as I never made a gamewinning shot from half-court or sunk a crucial free-throw. In fact, the only time I was ever actually on the court was when you put me in during the last few seconds of games that we were already assured of losing. But you and I have seriously influenced each other’s lives, and I think it’s time you knew the truth. Had you bothered to notice, you’d have seen that, as a kid, I was absolutely passionate about basketball. I had Dr. J posters on my bedroom wall and a Nerfoop over the door. I’d practice layups and between-the-legs dribbling and spinning the ball on my finger—all the Harlem Globetrotters moves that I thought would make me a great player. Like so many American kids, I was destined for a sports-drenched life. But you, Coach Gasparini, you only saw a scrawny little 13-yearold with pipe-cleaner biceps and crooked glasses. At this point, I have no illusions about my skill level. Even if you had put me in with the big boys, I don’t think I really had what it takes. I was young and gangly and not particularly athletic, so I understand. You were probably only in your late twenties when you arrived at our school, still, basically, a kid yourself. You were from somewhere back east, showing up to work at a small town in the Deep South. You had a funny Northern accent and a funny name, Gasparini. Gasp-aREE-nee. We were simple folk who weren’t used to names or accents such as yours, and you probably felt that subtle Southern judgment from your peers. You probably even wondered what was so weird about a name like Gasparini, seeing as the English teacher’s last name was Turnipseed, and nobody seemed to think anything of it. Well, welcome to Mississippi... Yankee. As someone who also moved in a radically different culture as a youngster, I can relate to the stress this can put on a person. Maybe it was that stress that caused you to say what you said to me that day. I remember it as if it were yesterday. We were all in the locker room after practice, and you were talking to the other players about whatever cool things you all talked about. As you walked past me, I asked you how you thought I was doing—just an insecure kid looking for some encouragement—some coaching, as it were. You said—and, given that these words changed my life forever, I assure you they’re verbatim, “You’re so weak it’s pathetic. You need to lift weights or something.” Had I known that then, what happened next would never have transpired. But I was young, I felt threatened, and I thought I had no choice but to retaliate in the only way available. You see, what I lacked in upper body strength, I made up for in juvenile wordplay. You probably noticed an increase in giggling at practices after that. I’m guessing you found out about your new nickname by accident, as nobody would just come out and tell you. I suspect some student slipped up before catching his mistake. “Hey, Coach Grasp-a-weenie, are we gonna—Oops.” And maybe, in that moment, you wondered who would ever assign such a childish nickname to you. Oops. You got the short end of the stick, Coach, and I’m sorry. I imagine a sobriquet such as “Coach Graspa-weenie” is bound to stick with you for quite a while—maybe your whole career. It just rolls off the tongue, the perfect junior high nickname. You really didn’t deserve such a fate. I mean, all you did was pump up the jocks and denigrate the nerds and weaklings. Wasn’t that just called “doing your job”? Anyway, I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me. Also, I hope you enjoy watching the game tonight. Assuming there’s even a game on tonight. How would I know? Sincerely, Barry Smith The SOURCE IRRELATIVITY...Dear Coach Yes, you said that, in front of everyone. And then you walked away. Other kids might have taken this as an opportunity to rise to the occasion and embark on an “I’ll show you! I’ll show you ALL!” training program. Instead, I took a different route. I let your comments get to me, and I quit the team. In fact, I quit all the teams, forever. You ruined sports for me, Gasparini. Basketball, football, baseball, hockey—you name it, I hate it—all because of you. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! I say that because, when I think about how much of my finite, precious life energy I have NOT squandered by watching, thinking about, talking about, reading about or even giving two craps about, sports...WOW. You have given me the greatest gift of all—the gift of time!

The SOURCE ...Three Green Targets and a Red Actor By Lyle Stout • lstout13@hotmail.com A week or two ago, I went to see the movie “Captain Phillips,” starring Tom Hanks. I used to be a fan of Tom Hanks, until the last election, when he threw all his weight into getting President Obama reelected. I hadn’t seen the need to pay my hard-earned money to see anything with him in it since then. I really hadn’t even planned to see “Captain Phillips” because of Hanks, but married life is like that. When I tell my wife I don’t want to see a movie because of the politics of the star, she rolls her eyes fetchingly and says, “Lyle, remember it’s only a movie.” Then I get sucked into some anti-American piece of crap starring Matt Damon. After the fact, I was very happy I went, as I had not imagined the movie would make such a strong statement against gun control, but there was no mistaking the movie’s real-world implications. The action takes place on a container cargo ship; at the beginning of the movie, the ship’s manifest is discussed. Most of the ship is filled with drinking water and food destined as aid for the starving Africans who live in Somali. Is it ironic that the attempted hijacking of the ship by Somali pirates would take place aboard this ship? Would that bum who has the “I love Jesus, give me money” cardboard sign steal your camera off your seat if you weren’t there to stop him? Thanks, Tom, for reminding me that there is a reason many bums are living in poverty and many Somalis are starving. It isn’t because fast-food places pay low wages. On the ship itself, we learn that it is full of union members stating the terms of their contracts to the captain, standing up against him as he tries to do the job he was hired to do. The one thing that stands out is how tough they are, these men working on a ship, bullying the authority figure as they need. Now that’s t So No Funny! Hey Jim! Bob: “Hey Jim, did you hear about the Obama administration scandal?, Jim: “You mean the Mexican gun running?” Bob: “No, the other one.” Jim: “You mean SEAL Team 6?” The SOURCE / November 2013 8 Bob: “No, the other one.” Jim: “Obama saying the average family would save $2,500 on their premiums?” Bob: “No, the other one.” Jim: “Forcing businesses to violate their religious beliefs by paying for drugs that abort the un- Then a boat shows up with three starving, skinny kids on it who have been sent out to hijack the ship. Suddenly, you realize the union toughies are unarmed and the kids have old worn-out guns… but the captain has a plan. It’s a very liberal idea on how the union toughies can protect themselves against the starving pirates, even though there are 50 toughies and just three starving pirates. “Run down to the engine room and hide behind the cylinders of the engine,” Captain tells the toughies. “Put one or two men behind each cylinder, and don’t make any noise; maybe they won’t be able to find you. Turn out the lights. I’ll try to keep them out of there, and you might be safe.” If you are unarmed in your own house, and fifteen-year-old thugs break in, will you tell your wife and children, “Hide under the bed; maybe we’ll get lucky, and they’ll only steal all of our hard-earned possessions and won’t rape and kill us.” Yes, that seems like a plan. Let’s rely on the stupidity of the bastards breaking in to protect us, rather than be prepared to meet them at the door with a gun. Maybe you can break a glass bottle on the kitchen floor and hope the robbers step in it. Hide behind the refrigerator. And born?” Bob: “No, the other one.” Jim: “Violating the rights and sanctity of our Churches?” Bob: “No, the other one.” Jim: “Spending $634 million on a website that doesn’t work?” Bob: “No, the other one.” Jim: “Obama calling for an increase in our debt when he lambasted Bush for the very same thing?” Bob: “No, the other one.” Jim: “Obama having NSA spy on 124 Billion Phone Calls in One Continued on page 12 remember, you have no right to protect what is yours. If they do kill you, at least they’ll remember you at your funeral as a good liberal who fought hard against other people’s rights to own a defensive weapon. My other fear with this movie was that Hollywood would make the men of the Navy into something either incompetent or evil, as they usually do with our military. However, since Matt Damon wasn’t in it, they did neither. At the end of the movie, the US Navy Seals show up, quiet and professional, and snipers from the ship’s deck end the standoff as any real man should, turning the raging pirates who are now in a lifeboat into bulls-eye statistics in the war on piracy and Captain Phillips into the whimpering mass of femininity that Tom Hanks seems to be in real life. Would I recommend this movie? No. It really wasn’t that good; and watching the grown men cowering in the dark while the uneducated, starving pirates walked around the ship looking for them was very unsettling. I was happy to see Tom Hanks make a pro-second amendment movie. Maybe he’s watched these last years unfold and finally seen the error of his ways. marketing & design • Corporate Identity • Event Promotion • Architectural Rendering • Packaging • Print Advertising • Website Design • Email Marketing 970.728.3234 • email: kristal@kristalgraphics.com Joe’s SCUBA Shack Name: Donna and Joe Adams Age: 50ish (52) Occupation: Joe’s SCUBA Shack Hobbies: SCUBA and golf When did your store open? The dive shop has been open for many years and was previously known as Adventure Sports. After the previous owner’s accident while racing motorcycles, Donna purchased the shop in November 2008, and we moved to our current location in May 2011 as Joe’s Scuba Shack. When did you start scuba diving? How many hours do you have under The SOURCE Business Profile and the hardest for most, is clearing their masks of water. We think we have a great way of teaching mask clearing, but some people still need a little extra time mastering this skill. That is okay. However long it takes, we will be there with them. How old is the youngest diver you’ve certified? The youngest we have certified is 10 years of age, which is the minimum for our standards, as long as they are comfortable in the water and are emotionally and physically ready for the training. On the opposite end, the oldest we’ve certified is 76. There are programs called Bubble-Makers and Seal Team that are geared towards 8- and 9-year-olds, as well. What is the average cost for someone to buy dive gear? We have some great packages that we’ve put together. Mask, snorkel and fins start about $150 for a good quality set. Dive gear? Well, that depends on the type of diving you will be doing, but we have packages starting around $1500. Can you go less, sure! But when we put this package together, we felt it was the lowest level of gear that we would use to dive. the water? Joe started diving in 2003 and has logged over 650 dives. He began instructing in 2008. Donna started in 2000; with over 800 dives, she began teaching in 2005. What is the best destination you’ve dived? Fiji, Little Cayman, Grand Cayman East End, & Bonaire. Are there a lot of SCUBA divers living here in the high desert? You would be amazed at the divers in the Grand Valley. So far this year, we have issued approximately 130 new certifications including Open Water Divers, Advanced Open Water, Rescue Divers, Master Divers, Dive Masters, Assistant Instructors and Open Water Instructors. Now that we have our own training pool, we will be able to offer more children’s programs, such as Bubble-Makers and Seal Team programs. Do you offer classes to certify people interested in SCUBA diving? How long do the classes take? We are a 5-Star PADI IDC (Instructor Development Center). We teach [all classes] from Basic Open Water to Instructor. Basic Open water is a home study, where people read the book and watch a video at home. Class time is virtually every weekend here in the dive center in our training pool and classroom. Deeper water work is done at CMU or at Orchard Mesa pool on Monday evenings. Then, every month, we head to the Homestead Crater, just outside of Provo UT, and finish the open water certification dives. We dive on a Saturday afternoon and evening and on Sunday morning. That’s it— two weekends. Where in Colorado do people go to do their open water diver certification? There are many local lakes, plus the lakes in Denver. But we prefer the Crater in Utah, as the water is 90 to 97 degrees yearround, and the visibility is 20 to 40 feet. Most local lakes are not deep enough by accepted standards to do open water training—the water is 55 to 65 degrees, and the visibility is very limited. What is the most difficult part of the classes for people to conquer? There are three things. The first is just getting used to breathing underwater. It is not a natural thing, but once they relax and know that the regulator will deliver air, it is all good. Buoyancy is difficult—I call it the lifetime achievement award— it is an “AHA” moment, and then you’ve got it.

A VERY SPECIAL ACOUSTIC SHOW FEATURING EVERLAST with: Special Guest Big B Birth Name: Erik Schrody Born: 1969/08/18 Birth Place: Valley Stream, New York Years Active: 1988–present Genres: Blues, Hip Hop, Rock, Alternative, Country Rap Erik Schrody (born August 18, 1969 in Valley Stream, New York), better known by his stage name Everlast, is a Grammy Awardwinning American rapper and songwriter, and as the front-man for rap group House of Pain. Everlast is also part of the hiphop supergroup La Coka Nostra, which consists of members of House of Pain and other rappers. House of Pain’s 1992 eponymous debut album went multi-platinum, spawning the successful single “Jump Around.” The group eventually disbanded in 1996 with Everlast pursuing a solo career. He released his debut solo album, “Forever Everlasting” in 1990. The album included “The Rhythm” which featured Ice-T, “Never Missin’ a Beat” and “I Got The Knack” featuring DJ Lethal with whom he’d later join to form House of Pain. After House of Pain broke up in 1996, Everlast released his second solo album, 1998’s “Whitey Ford Sings the Blues” was both a commercial and critical success selling more than three million copies. The album was certified 2× platinum and peaked at #9 on the Billboard 200 Albums chart. The album’s lead single “What It’s Like” proved to be his most popular and successful song, peaking at #1 on the Billboard Hot Living Legend at Mainstream Rock Tracks chart and #1 on the Hot Modern Rock Tracks chart. It also peaked at #13 on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles chart, becoming the singer’s only solo Top 40 hit on the U.S. pop chart to date. The follow up single, “Ends,” also reached the Rock Top 10. Everlast followed-up this success by collaborating with Carlos Santana on the track “Put Your Lights On” on Santana’s 1999 album “Supernatural.” It peaked at #8 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart. “Put Your Lights On” won Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal at the 2000 Grammy Awards. Despite the success of “Whitey Ford Sings the Blues” and his success with Santana, Everlast’s follow-up album, 2000’s “Eat at Whitey’s,” stumbled commercially at first in the United States. However, it was eventually certified gold. His fourth solo album, 2004’s “White Trash Beautiful” was 7. King has released over 50 albums – with his highest debuting album solo album “One Kind Favor” this done at the tender age of 83. 8. In 1970 King Won a Grammy Award for “The Thrill Is Gone,” a song that was originally written by West Coast Blues singer Roy Hawkins. 9. King was diagnosed with Diabetes over twenty years ago, and is an avid spokesperson in the fight against the disease. 10. B. B. King was inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame in 1987. released after almost a four-year hiatus. In early 2006, Everlast teamed up with his former House of Pain mates DJ Lethal and Danny Boy to join the hip-hop group La Coka Nostra. Their first song was “Fuck Tony Montana” which featured Cypress Hill MC B Real and Sick Jacken. The group’s debut album “A Brand You Can Trust” was released in July 2009.

The band, led by vocalist/bassist Lemmy Kilmister, has been around almost 40 years. With over 30 million copies sold of their historic 20 studio albums, the accolades and respect continue to build. Responsible for re-energizing a dying heavy metal scene in the late 1970s, Motörhead has over the years become possibly the most influential band of our lifetime. Bands from all walks of rock and roll continue to name them as THE most important band of the era. You just can't argue the impact the band has had over the last four decades. Don't tell that to Lemmy, though. As humble as he is horrific, rock and roll's elder statesmen of all things dirty and grimy seems to almost back away from the attention. Instead of strutting around as the king of rock, you can usually find him at the Rainbow Room in Hollywood, cozied up to the bar playing video games and drinking Jack Daniels. Not exactly what you would expect from rock and roll royalty, but that "regular guy" mentality is one of his greatest traits - when he's not making kick ass records. It's the music that seems to transform Lemmy from a mild-mannered gentle giant to one pissed-off bastard. When that beast is unleashed, the hard rock and metal communities usually stop what they are doing to take notice. Not only out of respect, but to take in another dose of the drug that is Motörhead. The latest "fix" is 'Aftershock'. A fourteen track affirmation of everything that is great about them and another storied episode in the life of a man - and a band who just won't die. If you are expecting a "new" sound from Motörhead, you haven't paid much attention over the years. Their combination of blues, punk, speed metal, and rock and roll has run a pretty straight line over their career - as has Lemmy's gravelly, raspy vocals. That trend continues on the new record. While I usually bash bands for sticking to the same formula, the unique (and unaltered) style of Motörhead somehow still sounds fresh among the rest of today's harder music. As soon as you hit "play", the familiar break-neck speed and energy that has defined the band all these years hits you like a ton of bricks. ey to fund his cronies?” Bob: “No, the other one” Jim: “You mean Fast & Furious?” Bob: “No, the other one.” Jim:”I give up! ...Oh wait, I think I got it! You mean that 65 million low-information voters who don’t pay taxes and get free stuff from taxpayers and stuck us again with the most pandering, corrupt administration in American history?” Bob: “THAT’S THE ONE!” The opener "Heartbreaker" goes straight for the jugular. It is immediately obvious that Motörhead hasn't lost a step - and in fact - sounds better than ever. Forceful rockers like, "Coup De Grace", "Death Machine" and "Silence When You Speak To Me," showcase the bands’ cohesiveness (drummer Mikkey Dee and guitarist Phil Campbell efforts are flawless) while "End Of Time" and "Going To Mexico" channel the classic "Ace of Spades" sound. Most of these tracks get right to the point of ripping your face off as Motörhead has never been about wasting time with frivolous fills or nonsensical lyrics. Even most of the guitar solos are condensed - barely giving you enough time to pour a shot or light a cigarette. But that's the beauty of it all. It's downright nasty throughout. A couple of tracks though find Lemmy capturing a softer side amidst the chaos. The groove-laden and blues heavy, "Lost Woman Blues" and "Dust and Glass," not only offer up a couple of moments to catch your breath but also showcase the bands ability to write deep, meaningful songs. The record, as a whole, is all about being loud, fast, and fun in a style and effort that only Motörhead - amongst all their peers - seem to have perfected. Lemmy said it best when asked about the new record: "We've been lucky. We've been around so long, people realize they can't get us to go away. So they've just decided to join us. You might not like what we do, but we do what we do very well. We're not killing ourselves. We don't get into the studio and say, 'Let's write a hit single!' We've never been one of those bands. We really don't care if everybody likes it. If people like it, to us, it's a bonus." By "not caring", Motörhead has delivered a fantastic, memorable album that should please long time fans and newcomers alike, and has once again proven that - if nothing else - you can't kill rock and roll. 9.5/10 ‘Aftershock’ available at music stores and online outlets now October/November Recommended New Releases PEARL JAM Lightning Bolt TRIVIUM Vengeance Falls SKELETONWITCH Serpents Unleased The SOURCE The choices you make, dictate the life you lead Since 1994 Youth Alternatives has been dedicated to taking the truth to Teens in hopes we will help them make good choices.

It is that time of year when pumpkin starts to show up in everything— bread, cookies, lattes, aromatherapy candles, candy, noodles, marshmallows…arghhh! The frustrating thing is that, most of the time, the pumpkin-flavored foods do not include any pumpkin, at all. They usually have pumpkin pie spice or artificial pumpkin flavoring, but no squash at all! The recipe I offer here, however, is chock full o’ pumpkin. It’s grain-free pumpkin and spice pancakes. This is a primal inspired recipe that I adapted from several recipes I found on the World Wide Web; and it is a variation of the grain-free banana pancakes recipe that I posted before. Pumpkin pancakes 4 eggs ½ cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling) 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice Pinch of salt Butter (for the griddle) Combine the first four ingredients until well blended. Heat griddle or skillet to medium heat, brush the griddle with butter. Scoop about 1/3 cup of batter on to the griddle. Cook until golden on the bottom and slightly opaque in the center and around the edges. Flip the pancake, brown on the other side, and serve. I served with pumpkin pie-spiced honey butter, sliced tangerines, and bacon (well, of course).

KayDee translate well to film. So they started hitting up the nearest major convention to Hollywood, looking to ransack industry talent. Once movies started being made from comic books, it seemed a no-brainer to start having Hollywood studios peddle their bigbudget at the con first. This would encourage the comic industry’s growth, appeal to new artists and help seed Hollywood’s addiction to comic book properties.

Mulberry Street Fruita drunk, I was drunk, and we were off to the nerd party. We arrived—and we were on the list. No, really, it had “the list.” As a professional partier, I’ve been on a lot of lists, but this was THE list. We were allowed in to the most exclusive nerd party at the Con. We walked past countless familiar faces—the Sheriff from “Eureka,” the Asian guy from “MythBusters,” the kid from “That 70s Show.” It was all fine and dandy, but the real reason we needed in this event was, unlike many others, this one had an OPEN BAR. I have a rule that I NEVER take a pic with a celebrity, especially one who has played a character in a show or movie I liked. Drink after drink, I watched Captain Mal, Hercules and Doctor Who walk by me. I began to feel a little disappointed that I was We took a pedi-cab back to the hotel. Spencer collapsed in the hall incoherently rambling about how he’d showed me Hollywood and I needed to step up my game. I dragged him down the hall by his feet, excited to look at the image on his iPhone. It was finally proof that one of my stories was true—I was no longer Chunk. I knew I was breaking my rule of not taking pics with celebrities, but it was worth it—it was Joss Whedon! I looked at the pic. It was the worst pic ever. I nearly cried. My huge teeth like a shark’s, my lazy eye being extra lazy. I had my friend delete it. If you go to Comic-Con for your vacation, do not expect to take a bad photo with Joss Whedon. Do expect to stand in lines and put ice packs on your feet at night.

Hollywood is a surprisingly small town, and it’s not worth it to mention who’s who. Some friends called and said they had an extra ticket to San Diego Comic-Con, the world’s biggest comic book convention. In case you’re unfamiliar, the San Diego Comic Convention started as just that, a comic and collectible card convention. Sometime in the ‘90s, some execs in Hollywood figured out that comics, a visual media, a massive convention of all things action, comedy, sci-fi, fantasy, whether it be comic books, novels, magazines, games, collectible cards, television, film (indie or even major studios). Comic-Con has become Hollywood’s creativity farm. With that, follows all the Hollywood money and parties for the elite nerds of today’s summer blockbusters. I sound cynical, and that’s because I am; however, it’s actually the BEST THING EVER for my generation and me. It means that the biggest movies, the strongest novels and best action films are all based on things I was picked on for liking in high school. Nothing makes me happier than knowing some jerk in high school who picked on me for having a Death of Superman comic in my school Trapper, is now standing in line at premier night for “Man of Steel,” raising his son as a nerd like me. Oh, the sweet irony. So I thought about all the fun it would be to attend a convention right up my alley. And then I thought, No. It was a bad idea for me. All I could imagine was my accidently stumbling into a party with all the A-listers getting drunk. When I got home and told my story, no one would believe me. That’s what always happens. Part of the issue is that I refuse to take pictures of my happenings. Rule #1 of my life is I will never take a picture with a celebrity. I think that rule has become my curse because I’ve partied with celebrities so many times now that it feels normal to me. Yet, NO ONE EVER believes me. It’s as if I’m Chunk from “Goonies.” So, no I did not want the ticket. They offered a hotel room. I still said no. Finally they said they’d all chipped in and got an open bar the entire con. I was in. The plan: Go to the con, buy some stuff, drink for free in the hotel room, catch the local beaches, maybe surf. I traveled down to Comic-Con. Day one was pretty good. It’s called preview night; basically, staff and people who bought tickets early get first pick on all the exclusive deals. If you’re going to Comic-Con for the first time, I don’t think you get a ticket for this. You have to preregister at the con the year before. But it’s worth it. there. Unlike a regular rave or party, where I am just AWESOME, here I was at risk of embarrassing myself and possibly damaging Spencer’s career. Then, HE walked by, the king of nerd writers—the man who gave every robot, vampire, alien, cheerleader, cat-girl-loving writer hope that our character, worlds and plots could be realized and accepted. Dancing in front of me was Joss. I rolled my heavy, vodkabloated head to face Spencer, who was just as drunk. “No one is ever going to believe me,” I said. Spencer looked at me, and I could see he felt pity for me. I was here with the kind of people I aspired to be, but I was only here as a fan boy. “Take a picture with him. Joss is really nice like that.” It might’ve been Spencer ’s showing off with drunken confidence, but he pulled me over to Joss and introduced me. Joss said something to me, but I was way too drunk. Worse, I’m pretty sure I decided to say stuff to him about him with no filter or brains. I’ve no clue what I said. He smiled, and Spencer had his iPhone out to take a pic. I was told to make a face, and I did. I was drunk, and this was awesome. I let Joss get back to partying, cause I could tell he was there to dance, not deal with a stumbling fan boy.

However, some of the panels are such a big deal people line up days ahead. Others you need to be there at least two to four hours beforehand. If you want any of the exclusive deals by any of the dealers, you should expect to wait two hours in line at least. You might get four items a day, if all you did was try to buy special items. Well, after I learned all this and met a few of the artists for “My Little Pony,” I was pretty much done with the con part of Comic-Con. It was time for beaches and drinking. About then I got a text from my friend Spencer from Hollywood. He was on the train to San Diego. A studio had got him a pass for the con, and he needed some floor space to crash. I asked the people I was with, and they were cool with it. I got nice and drunk before heading off to meet Spencer at the train to walk him back to the hotel. I have no idea where we met up, and he was already drunk. Spencer is a Hollywood social climber and loves it. That’s what he likes doing. He began to rattle off all the things he’d prepared for us that night. He’d been texting and emailing the entire train ride, between drinks. He’d prepared a night for me to experience the real Hollywood, in San Diego, at Comic-Con.
