And there's a video, too

http://www.dianetics.org/#/bookstore/product/how-to-use-dianetics-dvd-english
I think the great thing about this body of knowledge is that it explains exactly how the mind works. From there, you can learn how to help yourself, how to help others, and how to get help without falling into the traps of drugs and psychiatry.
The video is a bargain!

You Saw the Billboard, You Heard the Radio Ad...
Now buy the book!
Dianetics: Modern Science of Mental Health
Or call 1-800-722-1733
You may also print this form, fill it out and fax or mail it to:
Bridge Publications, Inc., 4751 Fountain Ave.,
Los Angeles, CA 90029 -- FAX: 1-323-953-3328
Yes, I SWEAR by this technology of the mind. I just got back from a month of intensive work with Dianetics, and I have not only handled my grief and depression over my mom's death, but I dealt with some psychosomatic ills as well. All very direct, very incisive counseling tech. Dianetics is the only science of the mind we've got which consistently gets RESULTS. Read the book, which is now available with a great glossary in the back.

ROC Retinol Products
ROC over-the-counter retin-A beauty creams are great for wrinkly skin, assne, mending small cuts, and those pesky pre-zit skin formations that just sit there and fester.

Greatest Chinese Food in New York
I ain't kidding!
Now, I might be crazy to post my rave on the internet, because, who knows, maybe ten thousand people will say, "Gee, we oughta check this place OUT!"
Fortunately, with this blog's readership somewhere near the population of Anvil Canyon, Death Valley, I should still be able to get a window seat there anytime, without prior reservation. I DARE someone with connections to read this blog and tell a thousand friends about the food at THE COTTAGE.
The menu is a array of Cantonese, Szechuan, and Peking styles. Most are rich and savory dishes, and some are fused with Malaysian and even Continental cooking styles. There is, for example, a scallop appetizer that comes with a slightly spicy peanut sauce which will blow your mind.
My favorite thing to do is take advantage of their fixed price, two course dinner that comes with two glasses of wine. The "choose one from column A" format is the only similarity this food has with the old greasy spoon New York chop suey brand of Chinese food. For you not only choose from a great selection of appetizers and entrees, but you also get to pick your wines from an impressive list. Two courses, two wines: $16.99 per person! Really!
When I am in San Francisco, I always try to make a stop at Brandy Ho's Hunan on Columbus. Good Szechuan and Cantonese and Peking classics there, too, but you will NEVER be able to just order a plate of chau bok choi with garlic. The waitress just stabs her pencil at the menu where "mixed vegetables" can be found. Not so at The Cottage. Young Cantonese speaking wait staff may LOOK like they could decapitate you with one Oddjob-style flick of the wrist, but they are always most accomodating. There's even a "build your own" stirfry section that offers tons of great choices for the mix.

The Blasters
To peg these brilliant performers as a Rockabilly band is missing the beauty and range of their songwriting.
Sometimes you hit a nice vein of gold when you hear a good bar band, and they seem to be on to something good and raw, but you need a pickaxe and a lot of time to weed the slag from the Au. On the other hand, The Blasters are a veritable mountain of that shimmery element called American Rock n Roll. It's just sitting there in front of you in all its glory. There is no effort in enjoying The Blasters, for they just hand out the dynamite.
The songs range from Chicago blues to driven California surf guitar instrumentals to Memphis to Detroit to right down deep in our collective heart.
