I WANT TO GO OUTSIDE....... :)
Y'ever see Wes Cravens'
"The People Under the Stairs"--? Remember the part at the end, where the little kid frees the prisoners, and they're all stumbling out into the street for the first time...? Yeah.
--The only band I've posted, for a reason!
I don't usually promote bands, as such. I figure, when it comes to the arts, everyone knows what OPINIONS SMELL LIKE, right? :)
('sides... if somebody can't find Green Day, it's because they don't WANT to find Green Day, know what 'm sayin'? ;))
Seriously, I was surprised at how impressed I actually was with Beecake... I heard Billy Boyd had a band, and sought it out, out of curiosity.
I was not prepared to be that blown away. I'd like to see them get some quality attention. Alas, it's just ME with a LINK here, but... such is the world. :)
Meanwhile...
This thing is NICE. :)
I may spin off a new "entertainment" section... for now, there are some great movie links...

--They send out a great newsletter, too! |
Lou Dobbs
--I once heard him referenced as "anti-immigration" on a late-night talk show. It's a shame that's thrown around so casually. It's not true.
This is actually kinda funny: Lou's Record on Illegal Immigrants and U.S. Immigration Policy
He is a great source of information as to what's really going on in our government, which is probably why he had to part with CNN.
[Hey, CNN! Guess what!
I don't CARE who Tiger Woods f***ed!
I don't care who John Edwards f***ed!
I don't care if they go f*** EACH OTHER!
In fact, I WISH THEY WOULD!!]
*sigh* Lou Dobbs currently has a radio show.

Religulous... great job. I'm not an atheist, but he illustrates very well why I don't "affiliate." :)

Monterey Bay Spice Company
I've found this to be a safe place to buy herbals.
Remember--ALWAYS CROSS-CHECK herbal side effects and interactions!
Here is a good place:
DrugDigest®
DrugDigest is a noncommercial, evidence-based, consumer health and drug information site dedicated to empowering consumers to make informed choices about drugs and treatment options.
I personally go with splitting the list in half, in the obvious fashion.
When to Go Organic
People always ask whether buying organic is healthier, and the answer is yes. Eating organic protects you from potentially harmful chemicals such as pesticides. But going green is rarely cheap, and it’s not always essential, which is why we’ve created 3 simple rules for when you should spend your green to go green and when to save your cash with conventional foods.
Most people don't realize why they oughta DROP THAT HERSHEY!

Oikos
There are basically 3 items that keep me from being completely "vegan"--
Eggs, from a local free range farm; Honey, from a local "honey dude." :)
And these people. This stuff is SO good for you, and I believe they're telling the truth about being good to their cows. :)

If they go to the trouble to be Certified Organic, odds are good they're telling the truth. :)

This stuff is neat. I got used to nicotine gum when I quit smoking, so I buy the unflavored kits and chew it AS-IS. :)
'AFFORDABLE' is a big deal in my world. :) THEN, there is the added bonus of:

Natural Bridge State Resort Park
One of the greatest places to go hiking around here... and the Hemlock Lodge has the BEST banana puddin' in the WORLD! 
This food made an incredible difference in the condition of my pets, their customer service is great, and it's a bit more affordable than a lot of the natural foods available. Made in USA is ALSO a consideration!

And, when I don't have time to drive the 25 miles to the nearest Whole Foods, these guys are GREAT:

I think these people are the best option in the area:
