NANOHYPE AWARD for FEBRUARY 2005

Posted on October 11, 2008 in Erectile dysfunction treatment

Staff Reporter, "Military Uses of Nanotechnology - the coming scary cold way of Nano-bots and Nano-materials - the invisible deadly Nano-bombs," INDIA DAILY, February 27, 2005 (http://www.indiadaily.com/editorial/1732.asp What is irresponsible journalism? That depends on the goals of journalism. Fear mongering and disaster pornography sells media. However, if the function of journalism is to animate the public sphere responsibly, then writers cannot make claims without warrants even if the warrant is a source citation. Nanoscience, read nanotechnology, is rife with hyperbole. While I make an effort to assign blame in my forthcoming book, it is sufficient here to claim there are a multitude of fanciful depictions of mature nanotechnology. Hence, this notice of HYPERBOLE OF THE MONTH. Here are a few quotes from the article. "Nanotechnologies...can be used by the militaries of the world in creating weapons of mass destruction." TRUE, though nanotechnologies, read as nanotools, might be more accurate. Next quotation. "Militaries of many countries have established weapons with Nano-techs." FALSE and ???. First, ???. What is/are "Nano-techs"? Little technicians? Second, which militaries? Next. "...[N]ano-materials massively damage the lungs. Ultra fine particles from diesel machines, powers and incinerators can cause considerable damage to human lungs." FALSE and TRUE. First, define nano-materials as ultrafines and yes they do cause damage, but there is some controversy over that linkage. Second, define nano-materials as nanoparticles, such as single walled carbon nanotubes, and the jury is still out in terms of workplace hazards BUT no evidence is out there that they somehow slough from products and become airborne in concentrations that might prove harmful. Next. "...[N]ano-particles can get into the body through the skins, lungs and digestive system. This may help create free radicals that can cause cell damage." YIKES. Transdermal expression is unproven. There is one study on titanium oxides and stressed skin and it hasn't been published. Lungs, better. Lots of studies, but little consensus. Ingestion, yikes. You probably shouldn't eat a handful of carbon nanotubes. Next. "...[T]he human body...has no natural immunity to new substances and is more likely to find them toxic." OK. First, true of all things bigger than nanosize. Second, you are begging the issues from above. Third, just because I am not immune to a thing does not make the thing more toxic since immunity may be altogether unnecessary. Next. "...[T]he most dangerous Nano-application use for military purposes is the Nano-bomb that contain (sic) engineered self multiplying deadly viruses that can continue to wipe out a community, country or even a civilization." For this alone, the author wins the NANOHYPE AWARD for February. We can already engineer viruses and they do replicate when they infect a host. I guess that could be construed to be self replicating. We don't need a "Nano-bomb" to do that. By the way, what is a "Nano-bomb" anyways? Where did this come from? Finally. "Militaries all around the world is (sic) about to embark upon the use of Nano-materials, Nano-bots and Nano-technologies that will make current Weapons and Mass Destruction look miniscule." IRRESPONSIBLE. This rhetorical flourish has no warrant. Actually the concept of size is not a defining feature of WMDs. I assume the author means destructive potential. Regardless, check off 1. Militaries without identification. 2. "All around the world" overclaim. 3. "Use of Nano-materials" possible in the construction of WMDs, actually we've use nanorelated tools and could use nanosize materials in current WMDs (like chem-bios). 4. Nano-bots do not exist. 5. Nano-technologies - see above (I guess). This is irresponsible journalism and deserves to be called out. Cheap Generic Viagra

Drug Development Isn't Easy

The Feb. 11, 2007 Sunday New York Times had an ($$$ subscription required soon) that's worth taking a look at for what it says about the whole pharmaceutical development process. You've probably seen the figures which suggest that it costs about $800 million to bring a drug to market these days, as well as the attacks that have been directed at those calculations. The NYT article doesn't look at Big Pharma: instead it focuses on smaller firms in the biotech sector, but reading it gives a sense of why those enormous numbers should be taken seriously.

Disability and porn

Posted on October 06, 2008 in Prescriptions

Wheelchair Dancer writes practically disability conjointly porn Because of a new Spanish porn film alarmed Breaking Barriers this is making some news. Most of WCD's wire goes can do to discuss \"pretenders\" further \"admirers\" (a case over which, rarely, I consist of no well-formed solution), but she does divulge that all over disability besides porn: I'm conflicted. Along the uncommon nurse, I denote it is important over PWD to be recognised over in toto sexual beings. Ellen Stohl spent some of this serviceability formerly she arrived halfway Playboy intervening 1987. To boot wasn't there a fuss! From the disability masses -- nothing from exploitation to not enough wheelchair -- too from those who oppose porn setup principle. Forward the reproduction deliver, while I often pursue a fairly positive attitude more I can dip into, continuous sympathize with the arguments that comprehend sex bustle when a positive choice Because some women, I dip into this sex proposition is not always positive, this the viewer cannot express from seeing at the double, too that inserted evermore date bird not at times sex worker's rights are protected. That sanity my ability to favor thanks to porn circumcised various, plentiful reservations. Except over the understatement of this remain sentence, I agree everywhere with WCD -- I'm conflicted. Being now Encarna Conde, the 45-year-old disabled woman who stars among the Spanish film, she show ups to be learned had a positive recognize: \"It was really pleasant, though I was somewhat cowardly,\" says Encarna. Outstandingly Because a porn film, however, Breaking Barriers desistances with a serious prose among Encarna including her writer. \"Disabled women embody to tag steps consign along with solo should always be unforeseen if solitary breaks a barrier,\" she says. Pending an undergraduate, I took an elective method whooped \"Character Sexuality\" taught past an old character who had overall fifty years grasp amid a couples' counselor. That was the late 1980s along with much of the string was desirable AIDS again safe sex, but the main fixate of without reservation topics was good cant medially sexual affiliates. We listened to a brief which included transsexuals this was absolutely informative. And we adage a film of a customer plus woman having sex medially clique to fit out, the professor said, a visual so this everyone was actually lacking onward what penis-in-vagina sexual intercourse in truth requires. I've for learned from a couple social worker friends this there are, enclosed by fact, married masses out there who look for they notice been having PIV sex but embody been doing it wrong. Between that selfsame educational vein, especially over strangers along acquaintances contain habitually bothered with doubts broadly disability along with sex (besides pregnancy additionally orgasms, etc.), I'm conflicted.

Type 2 Diabetic

Posted on October 06, 2008 in Diabetes erectile dysfunction

Author: koolspaces.com Now, I am not a doctor and I don't play one on T.V. but after living with diabetes for seven years I've learned some things that I haven't seen while researching diabetes. Most of the things you learn are the basics, e.g., that diabetes is a disease in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin. In order to convert sugar, starches and other food into energy you need insulin. The cause of diabetes is genetic with environmental factors such as obesity and lack of exercise likely to hasten the onset. My hope is if you are having difficulty with some aspect of diabetes this article may provide some insight to you. As always, check with your doctor prior to incorporating any changes to your daily regimen as each person is unique and may or may not have success with my experiences. CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME Before I was diagnosed with diabetes I went to several doctors with a complaint about my hands feeling severe pain. I especially felt it during a swing of a golf club. I was told I had CTS (Carpal Tunnel Syndrome) but I wondered how I could get something like that since I didn't spend that much time on my computer keyboard. I was also skeptical of the diagnosis because the nurse practitioner treating me left the room before reaching a verdict then returns and tells me I have CTS. I guess she discussed my symptoms with the presiding doctor. Later that week, I read an article saying that if your doctor diagnoses you with CTS ask him to give you a simple blood test to rule out more serious diseases like cancer and diabetes. I showed the article to my doctor who agreed and lo and behold when the test came back it showed I had diabetes. NERVE DAMAGE I had a sharp, shooting pain in my hands, legs and feet all at various times. My doctor suggested exercise. I didn't like jogging because I seem to aggravate my right knee when I do run. I have easy access to a pool but don't really enjoy it enough but I liked the idea of riding a bicycle around my neighborhood. The fresh air, meeting neighbors and taking it light on my knee seemed appealing to me. The trick is to find some form of exercise you can tolerate and keep up with. If you don't like jogging chances are you won't maintain the exercise required. You need ninety minutes of exercise a week. I usually like to exercise during the late afternoon but because of a hot spell I decided to exercise during the morning to escape the hot weather. To my surprise my glucose readings were somewhat high before dinner. So I went back to exercising at 4 p.m. and my glucose reading fell back considerably. I reasoned that my biggest meal of the day was dinner and exercising a few hours before dinner helped regulate my glucose. Also, I noticed my readings weren't affected much when I exercised 15 minutes, or even twenty minutes. It seemed to me that I wasn't benefitting from that amount of time spent exercising. But when I extended it to 25 and especially 30 minutes, I noticed the difference. My appetite wasn't as ravenous and I felt better overall. But best of all, the nerve damage to my legs and hands were gone. No more numbness in those areas as well. The only complaint I had was the amount of time it took me to get there, 3 - 6 months. Aren't we all impatient? I was so encouraged by the results that exercising has become a way of life for me. Now I bicycle 3 to 4 miles per day, 5 days a week. In fact, on the days that I do miss my workout I feel guilty. INFECTIONS I recently had a continuous spell of high glucose readings of which I had no rational explanation as to why. My exercise regimen was usual and my eating habits and weight were the same. I began taking Glyburide once a day. Even that didn't work. Concerned, I made a doctor's appointment and thanks to my doctor asking questions (innocuous I thought at the time) it turned out that I had an infection on my arm. As soon as I took the antibiotics, my glucose levels returned to where they previously were. I cut the pills in half (from 5 milligrams to 2.5) because when I was first prescribed the Glyburide I was not told about the side effects of the medication. I remember walking in the park and feeling terrible. I thought I was going to die. I made it home and took a glucose reading and was alarmed that it was 35. (Normal is between 70 and 125.) I called my doctor and relayed what was going on and they advised me to get some sugar in my body. I did and felt better within minutes. Today, I keep tomato juice in my refrigerator in case I need it. Don't make the mistake I made and try to raise your blood sugar with food. Food will take 15 minutes to digest and may raise it over the level you want thereby negating your goal. After taking the Glyburide during my fight with that infection, I had an Hba1c test and I was surprised that my lipid profile improved considerably. Also, I am glaucoma-suspect and my eye pressure level was reduced 26%! Is there a correlation between Glyburide and my improvements in these areas -- I don't know but I anxiously await my next quarterly blood lipid test. There is a positive side to diabetes. Now I'm forced to exercise, watch what I eat and keep tabs on my weight. None of which I did before. The result from all this is a healthier lifestyle, less complications from diabetes and a longer lifespan. Diabetes can be manageable. Consider it a wakeup call to a healthier lifestyle. I can't stress enough that before you make any changes to your daily regimen to talk it over with your doctor. Write all of your questions down before you go in and if you're too shy to ask, hand him your piece of paper. koolspaces.com The Best myspaces on myspace.com The Best Funny Videos!

Big Pharma: Everyone's Favourite Market Failure

Posted on October 06, 2008 in Erectile dysfunction drugs

Adbusters's website has put up a new article by Dee Hon on the subject of the pharmaceutical industry, which gives a nice clear outline of the case against 'Big Pharma'. Sensibly, it doesn't conclude by calling for the downfall of the global economic system. Rather, it urges the encouraging of non-profits over pressuring corporations. Excerpt: In recent years, pharmaceutical companies have offered discounts on vital medicines to middle-income countries, while charging the poorest countries only production costs. The profits on such medicines primarily come from sales to wealthy states. Brazil and Thailand, ranked 68th and 70th respectively in per capita gdp, are part of the middle class. Both countries provide universal access to AIDS treatment, and their governments save hundreds of millions of dollars by buying generic. It sounds like a perfect plan, but the Robin Hood approach has its limitations. Cutting into drug makers’ profits will, as they warn, discourage innovation. Drug companies may have a moral obligation to help the world’s poor, but history has shown that for corporations, morals offer weak imperatives. It costs about $1 billion to develop a new drug and only one in six prospects earns out the cost of development. So pharmaceutical companies bet their R&D budgets on drugs that have the best shot at the biggest payoffs. The pharmaceutical best-seller list includes multi-billion dollar blockbusters like Lipitor, Prevacid, and Viagra, treating cholesterol, heartburn and erectile dysfunction, respectively. They’re the disorders of the wealthy, aging and overfed West. Compare that with the top five killers in the developing world: respiratory diseases, aids, malaria, diarrhea, and tuberculosis. The World Health Organization reports that out of the 1,325 new drugs produced during its two-year survey, only eleven specifically targeted tropical diseases. That’s because 82 percent of drug sales come from Canada, the US, the European Union, and Japan. Diseases only affect research budgets to the degree they afflict the deep-pocketed. More than a billion Chinese account for less than two percent of world sales, and all other countries combined buy less than 17 percent. Cheap Generic Viagra

An Eye For An Eye

Posted on October 06, 2008 in Erectile dysfunction drugs

I approached him from the blind side so he couldn't see me when I entered the room. "The doc is here, Mr. Cochran," introduced the nurse. " Can't see out of left eye " read the chief complaint on the chart. Mr. Cochran was a middle-aged man with sudden onset of painless monocular visual loss. "Hi, sir, I'm Dr.____(common surname). What happenned to you?" "All of the sudden I became blind out of my left eye, doc. Can't see a damn thing!" "How long ago did this happen?" "About 2 and a half hours, I thought it would go away but it didn't so I'm here. Am I having a stroke?" I go on through the routine questions and review of systems. No other neurodeficits. No bulbar symptoms. No headaches, just sudden onset of non-traumatic, painless monocular blindness. The past medical history was also unremarkable aside for HTN for which he had been compliant with Norvasc. No history of MS. "Have you ever had syphillis?" "No. Heavens, no!" he sounded irate but puzzled. "I know it sounds strange but neurosyphillis can cause an optic neuritis that can result in visual loss. It's a rare disorder these days but just thought I'd ask to be thorough." Now come the social history...No smoking, no illicit drug use, no alcohol abuse. He denied it all... "What do you do for a living?" I asked, already knowing the answer. "I'm an attorney," he proudly responded. "You've probably seen my ads on the highways." "Yes, yes. A fair settlement is no accident ." (That billboard slogan is plastered all over Crack City) "Yeah, I'm a personal injury lawyer. I have no problems telling doctors that. I get better care that way, actually. Makes you guys more careful around me." "Yes, I know you very well, Mr. Cochran. You were the plaintiff attorney accusing me of being a baby killer, remember?!" Pausing briefly to let him absorb the full irony of the situation, I continued, "As to being more careful around you, all that means is that you'll have a bigger medical bill because of all the unnecessary tests and consultations, but I personally treat everyone the same regardless of the circumstances." Disclaimer - The names have been changed to protect...well, me from HIPAA. This patient was not THE famous Johnnie Cochran (October 2, 1937

GUZZLE, GUZZLE OIL BUBBLE

Posted on October 06, 2008 in Ed pump

It ain't no trouble figuring why the price of gas has more than doubled and why the jump at the pump is causing motorists to grump. But they have to pay anyway because that's the way things are today. It's a lot of manipulation, backed by an administration of fools who make the rules on who gets hurt by rising fuels. The Arabs are a part of it, maybe even the start of it, but the Exxon crowd keeps it going on. It always has and always will and as the motorists fill and refill their empty tanks you won't hear a word of thanks from the ranks of indfustry. They just say, "You buy. We supply." And well, the wells ain't going dry. Like in the past, every time connivers had the upper hand they blamed the drivers. The Exxon icon was the same: Supply and Demand's the name of the game. Figure it out. With the GOP on the way out, no doubt about it, the oil industry/GOP is out to gouge the motorist mercilessly. The petrol pets are out to get all they can with the help of the Republicans. There are no whiners among refiners whose profits keep climbing all the time and the companies who pump the oil are only a jump behind. The big losers are the users, the motorists who must abide to pay more for every ride. The pipeline and gas station owners are making more but less or so they profess. What the oil companies are doing to boost the crude is rude and unrefined. And keep in mind who's behind it all. Their greed exceeds their dollar needs and bleeds the whole economy. Take note the next time you vote. Return prosperity and sanity to the good oiled U. S. A. Cheap Generic Viagra

Holdin' Down the Costs

Posted on October 06, 2008 in Prescription drug insurance

According to accounting/research biggie PriceWaterhouseCooper (PWC), the incredible acceleration of care costs (and hence, insurance costs) is beginning to ease up. PCW discussed health care cost trends with a number of insurers, who expect "trend" to top out just under 10% for 2008. This is actually lower than the double-digit numbers we've seen the past few years. [Graphic courtesy of Employee Benefit News ] It's important to remember that trend is not the same as rates. That is, how much higher health care is expected to be is but one factor in determining how much an insurer will charge. Lower trends have a positive impact on rates, of course, which is good. It also underscores our mantra here (originally and succinctly promulgated by Mike Feehan) that "health insurance costs increase because health care costs increase." Amen. There's actually a lot of interesting information in the report; for example, carriers are expecting prescription drug costs to slow down a bit, an increase in EMR and other digital applications, and more widespread adoption of transparency tools. According to the report, prescription drug costs accounted for some 14% of all health care costs this past year, while physician charges represented the lion's share (35%). I was pleased to see that HDHP rates are expected to rise much less (25% less, in fact) than more "traditional" HMO and PPO plans. That's good news, indeed. Of course, by shifting some of the costs of health care back to those who actually use it, it follows that there would be more careful utilization, resulting in lower health care expenditures (and cost). Kind of a win-win deal. The report itself is pretty easy reading, and is available (in pdf form) here.

Multiplication and Rice Creeper Treats to e-Prescriptions and Consultants

Posted on October 05, 2008 in Prescriptions

Ahh...multiplication tables. If any of you have ever watched your child struggle to remember multiplcation tables or specific problems, I have found the answer. I found the book, The Times Tables. I ordered it a few weeks ago, but I hadn't really introduced it to Morgan until yesterday. It contains funny stories to help you remember the multiplication tables. For example, each number has a picture (two = shoe, three = tree, four = door). Then, a problem is presented with a story and phonetic answer to help you remember. As an example, Morgan's favorite was 4X4 or Door X Door. In the book, it tells a story of a queen who has never seen a revolving door before and continues to go around and around. She gets sick so door x door = sick queen. Morgan and I laughed about this for at least 30 minutes, and I think she will never forget what 4 x 4 is. She went through the WHOLE book yesterday. She may not remember every one, but I bet she would make an A on a multiplication test if it were taken tomorrow. My college friend, Jonathan Street, is now an attorney (yes, it shocked us all). He is now a semi-famous attorney and is making the rounds on tv and in newspaper articles. Click here to learn more. Make us proud Street!!! Morgan is still mad that we didn't get Hannah Montana tickets during the presale, so she is a pain to get going. Did you know that you can join the fan club to buy tickets early? We did that, and we still didn't get tickets. :( I went to Tampa Bay Urology. Dr. Fusia explains that there is a new stent out that is better than the old stents. He says that people who have dealth with the old stent don't like the new one, but he said that people who have had the old one think the new one is a big imrpovement. Additionally, it can be done as an outpatient. :) So, next Thursday it is. According to the CT scan, this is the last stone I have. I can't even imagine life without ANY stones. So, next Thursday, it will be history! Thank goodness my deductible is met for my HSA policy. So far, I love the HSA/ins policy from United Healthcare. I am interested to see if HSA's catch on. Anyone have good or bad experiences with HSA plans? We come a little closer to the release today. We assigned 3 issues today to be investigated and/or fixed. Of course, today was the day that we had the dispute over what do you do when you find a bug (after code cutoff) that has most likely always been there? It is my feeling that once you know an issue (if it is severe enough) exists, you have to bite the bullet and fix it. Of course, priority became the next discussion. :) A HIMSS study discussed staffing challenges in healthcare. According to the study, hospitals, physician offices, and long term care/nursing homes have the greatest challenge. It also said that 70% of respondents said that the most effective way to recruit and retain qualified IT professionals is to provide a competitive compensation and benefits package. In addition, 61% of respondents said the best way to maintain appropriate staffing resources within their organization was to provide internal training. 31% said they would use consultants when possible. Speaking of consultants, Mark Anderson's testimony is causing some interesting discussion for sure. The transcript can be found here. I think this underscores the state of the market. So many EMR/EHR companies exist,and I think it is still very difficult for buyers to know who to choose. I keep laughing when I think back to hearing that all doctors would use an EMR by 2000. :) Finally, all 50 states allow e-prescribing. However, the lack of being able to send scheduled drugs really hurts many specialties (especially pain management). e-Prescribing scheduled drugs seems much safer than any kind of paper prescription, so I can't understand why this hasn't been changed yet? Only 3 more days until the Tennessee-Florida game. GO VOLS! Still smoke free...Amy - smoke free for Three Months, Ten Days, 10 Hours and 6 Minutes, while extending my life expectancy 8 Days and 12 Hours, by avoiding the use of 2458 cigs that would have cost me $419.64.

FOR THE LOVE OF COACH (pt 1) BLOG FRIENDS (pt 2)

Posted on October 02, 2008 in Erectile dysfunction

pt.1 I think I may have said this before, but when making purchases I tend to follow 2 beliefs: 1. Better to spend a little more on the front end + buy something that will last longer 2. I won't wear a label unless the designer pays me. I am actually a big fan of Coach purses- not the newer styles with the "C" logo- those are so tacky! I love the really good quality + classic style of the older bags, unfortunately I can't really afford them. I have one purse that was bought 11 years ago at full price, but isn't it so much better when you can find a really great Coach purse at a thrift store for $1.49? That was my extremely good luck on Thursday. I will tell you that it still had that embossed leather hang tag attached + I was not even out the door before I took it off + threw it out. pt. 2 I loved eBay's "People Are Good" 2004 ad campaign. Time + time again this is proven in the craft blog world. Yesterday I had a really great lunch with Beth from stitch.rip.repeat. We have met a couple times, but had never really sat down + talked. We have also made plans for a printing day in my studio (her linoleum blocks + my press, sounds like fun!) + a day trip further down south to go fabric shopping at this funky remnant warehouse in Fayetteville, TN (Jenn, you are invited too). After lunch, I returned to work to find a surprise package from Trudi @ Double Happiness . I ran up + down the hall, squealing over the contents... the DVD of Trailer Park Boys: The Movi e . Trudi + I have exchanged very lively e-mails for quite some time + I hope to one day take a trip + actually meet her, play in her new studio + experience her Trailer Park Boys tour of Nova Scotia- Sunnyvale Trailer Park included. Thank you! We are still purging + unpacking from the move, so that's my day. Cheap Generic Viagra

GUESS WHAT?...

Posted on October 02, 2008 in Erectile dysfunction

I have finished all the printing for the wedding commission! This means that I now have my summer free to do whatever work I want + perhaps explore some other pursuits (like knitting! remember this?). This was a difficult project for me because I seriously overestimated my time + underestimated the amount of time it would take to get through the 6 pieces. I now know that in the future I need to be more realistic about what I am able to do. A really BIG thank you to Kristin, Trudi + Kristen, mostly for replying to my novel-length e-mails about this project + not telling me to piss off. *******************************

Posted on September 30, 2008 in Prescriptions

Hurry hurry hurry. Come on down, today we got The Rosewood Thieves patients. Please lend us yer stethoscopes. Don’t be shy, anyone with an ear can listen. Please join the doctors and nursemaids as we take a trip to a strange majestic land filled to the gills with six-shooters, aeroplanes, gypsy women, and junkyard blues. That's right patients, The Thieves are hittin’ the road again, in support of Rise & Shine and the soon to be released EP, Heartaches By The Pound - The Rosewood Thieves Sing Solomon Burke . Their very own Memory Elixir Old-Time Travelin' show begins tomorrow on August 27 in Baltimore and ends September 19 in New York City-hittin' 18 cities in 23 days. With their biggest main stage gig to date at Red Rocks for the Monolith Music Festival (9/14/08 - 2pm). Do yerself a musical favor and check 'em out. For more info on the tour head HERE. Beep beep'm beep beep yeah. We are willin' to bet our rock 'n roll stethoscopes and whatever amount of medical marijuana you desire that The Rosewood Thieves' Rise & Shine is the best summer album that yer not listening to right now. The doctors and nursemaids of the asylum press office are irritably baffled about this. We earlier reported, "The album is a neo-retro blast, a rock 'n roll marvel-an album that will go down as the best debut of the year. Throughout the whole album lead singer Erick Jordan's jagged swagger and velvet sneer match perfectly with the sonic squeezes of the Thieves' rhythm section." If you haven't heard it yet, we are writin' out a prescription to give 'er a listen, dig. With From The Decker House , Lonesome and Rise & Shine the medical staff here has learned that The Rosewood Thieves possess more than bar-band soul. With their upcoming EP, Heartaches By The Pound - The Rosewood Thieves Sing Solomon Burke the Thieves have hit a potent mix of shimmerin' soul delight. When talkin' about Solomon Burke, rubber souled frontman Erick Jordan remarked, "He is my favorite soul singer, the king of rock and soul actually, and when he plays live, he sits on a throne. It was really challenging to figure out how to play all of these great older songs of his and do them justice, but still make them Rosewood Thieves songs. We had a lot of fun figuring out what all the musicians on those records were doing". The album was recorded straight to tape... and, don't get yer stethoscopes in a bunch, it has been mixed 'n mastered and now the band is workin' on a release date. Stay tuned... The Tracklistin' for Heartaches By The Pound is as follows: 1. "Get Out My Life Woman" 2. "Go On Back To Him" 3. "Can't Nobody Love You" 4. "Gotta Get You Off My Mind" 5. "Home In Your Heart" 6. "You're Good For Me" In other news, the band has already demoed "Together", "Tell Me", "Comet Song", and "Untitled #3" for their tentatively titled second LP, Arrowhead . They are hopin' to get into the studio by January to record. To get you ready for the release of the EP we have put together the originals by the King of Rock 'n Soul himself and some standout tracks from the Thieves.

Muddy Waters 'Hard Again' (1977)

Posted on September 29, 2008 in Prescriptions

All you patients out there in 115th Dreamland grab hold of yer rock 'n roll stethoscopes. The sun is goin' down and the moon is beginin' to rise over the asylum. The doctors and nursemaids are fightin' the shuteye and groovin' on their asylum-made rockin' chairs to the raw Delta groove blues from Muddy Waters’ 'comeback' album, Hard Again . First in a blues trilogy, produced by lone star bluesman, Johnny Winter on the Columbia Records Blue Sky imprint - the others being I'm Ready and King Bee . Originally released in 1977, the album is filled to the grooves with foot stompin' rusted wire blues fury. Hard Again is a potent elixir of magic medicine; a white-hot collection, complete with six new blues ditties and a few standard Chicago blues gems. All thanks to Johnny Winter-the man who helped rejuvenate Muddy's career by capturin' the soul of the room and revitalizin' the old school blues raunch of Muddy's Chess Records recordings. For the record, Muddy was 62-years-old when the album was recorded. Bear in mind patients, Muddy was one of the great blues guitarists, but the stingin' six-string electricity you hear broadcastin' throughout the album were not his. Bob Margolin says, "His red Fender Telecaster guitar, which he called 'The Hoss' (he used the same nickname for his manhood) sat tuned and plugged into his amplifier next to him throughout the entire session. Muddy never picked it up..." Sure 'nuff patients, not only is Hard Again a personal favorite of the asylum, it's an LP you need to take daily doses of, you know, like vitamins. Personnel: Muddy Waters - Vocals Johnny Winter - Guitar James Cotton - Harp Pinetop Perkins - Piano Bob Margolin - Guitar Charles Calmese - Bass Willie "Big Eyes" Smith - Drums Should You DL?
