No seriously they have and in a bad way.

They are currently violating what we here in the US call Freedom of Speech. Have you heard of Digital Rights Management or DRM for short? What you don’t know is that we no longer have control of the music we pay for! Let me go back in time for a moment,

I remember turning on my radio back when it was free, and have an endless variety of music filling up any room I was in. I would then go out and buy that tape and it was mine I could play it until I was ill or until the tape broke.

Then the CD emerged, I knew then and know now that no good has come of it. Because you see we don’t actually “own” our cd’s, Apple and Microsoft do.

Like did you know that if you buy a cd and try to god forbid rip the tracks to play on your (insert mp3 player here) you just might get a nasty error that tells you that you don’t have the “rights” to these tracks. OK so you find a workaround and plead with your computer that you do own them. Then the problem lies in which software you do use which is the second conundrum. If you use Windows Media Player then you probably can’t put these new MP3’s on your shiny new Ipod…

However you say never mind the dang cd’s I get my music online at Itunes! Or Microsoft?s Urge. Which ever when you stop using their service then the ability to play your music stops and I mean right then, Game over.

With Apple being able to play purchases from the iTunes Store, you must authorize your computer using your iTunes Store with an account and password. Microsoft says to copy a packaged CD onto a CD-ROM or portable device, the consumer must have a license that includes the right to do so.

So I have conducted my own test. I put a cd I had purchased in a physical store, on my computer. Itunes popped up, I imported the disk no problem. I then used Windows Media player which I have the old version 8 to rip the tracks. So then I went and used my player of choice Creative Labs Media source player and I tried to play a song.

First Microsoft had changed the format to a wma, which is a format most mp3 players don?t recognize unless they have their own software installed. Then I couldn’t find the songs that were ripped by Itunes, for some reason. I then had to open up the Itunes player to have them play because Itunes had changed the format also to AAC.

So that might be a problem if you try to copy these songs to a new cd, or better yet on your (insert mp3 player here) For now you have to convert them back to a standard MP3.

Ok now you need a 3rd party software to do this little chore. I recommend again Creative Labs Media Player software.

But I?m getting ahead of myself. I?m assuming most of will know how to do this, but a majority will not, and that is what Apple and Microsoft are banking on.

Elk Hunts with Kohls Outfitting

Our elk hunts are offered in some of the most remote areas in Idaho. Most of our area is located in the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness, between the Lochsa River and the Selway River. A part if the area is north of the Lochsa River. It is not in the wilderness, but is still road less. The entire area is assigned to Robin Kohls and Kohls Outfitting/Oswold Pack Camp. This are has primarily been hunted by the Oswolds since the 1940?s. This area has been able to produce many fine trophy animals over the years. There are many 5×5 or larger bulls harvested each year.

Access to the hunting area will be by horseback. It is an entirely road less area as well as a designated wilderness area. Hunting in this spectacular country will be done either by horseback or on foot. The camps are already set up with wall tents, cots, pads, heaters, either propane or wood, and the kitchen set. Being only 2500-7500 feet in elevation, most of it between 3000 and 5000, most people are able to handle that well. However, the terrain is rugged and steep. Your physical condition will be a factor in the enjoyment of your trip.

If you are interested in quality ELK HUNTING in the wilderness of Idaho, then you are sure to want to read this free report on Elk Hunting from Kohls Outfitting, one of the finest outfitters in the North America.

Hemochromatosis can kill you dead if undetected.
What exactly is this malady I speak of?

It is a condition in which the body absorbs more iron from food than it needs.
The extra iron is stored in and may damage the liver, heart, and pancreas.
It may cause organ failure, cancer, heart problems, and liver disease. …

Symptoms include:

Abdominal pain
Decreased sex drive or impotence.
Have you been feeling weak or tired all the time?
Do your joints hurt? Skin turning a bronze color?
Arthritis of the knuckles of the first and second fingers?
Cardiac problems (including abnormal heart rhythms

If so, you better alert your doctor.
A complete physical must be performed.
I know it’s a bummer but better than kicking the bucket.

Your examination must include:

Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC) and Serum Iron (SI).
Divide the SI by TIBC for percentage of Transferrin Saturation TS.
Normal range is: 12-45%.

The same blood may be used to measure Serum Ferritin.
Normal range: 5 to 150.

Mostly men contract the disease for some unclear reason.
Probably due to normal iron loss during menstruation in women.
Usually around age 40. Individuals of European ancestry are much
more likely to be carriers of what was until recently the only known gene
to cause genetic hemochromatosis, than are people of other ethnic ancestries.

However, iron overload is common in people of African or Mexican
descent as it is among Caucasians.

Your goal is to prevent liver cancer, heart attack or stroke. Do that by unloading stored iron as quickly as possible. Objective: ferritin below 10.

Any blood relatives must be tested and monitored yearly.

Iron will cross the blood brain barrier. Excess iron stored in the brain has been found to elevate severity in Alzheimer’s, Lou Gehrig’s, Parkinson’s, MS, and others. Iron in the brain also leads to psychological problems.

If you have any of the above symptoms, make an appointment with your primary care physician immediately. The longer you put off testing, the more damage to your liver will result if you have hemochromatosis.

Iron overload is most often present and silently causing problems long before you notice any symptoms. Serious consquences of untreated hemochromatosis can result in: arthritis, diabetes, depression, impotence, hypogonadism, gallbladder disease, cirrhosis and scarring of the liver, heart attack, cancer, and other life threatening ailments.

Limit red meat in your diet. Knock off the fast food burger for lunch.

Iron loaded vegetables are okay because the body doesn’t absorb iron from plant
sources so well. I was so happy to finally learn {after 9 years} that it was okay to eat iron packed vegetables. It seemed like everything that’s good for you is loaded with iron and ready to put the hurt on you.

Drink black, green, or oolong tea with meals. The tannin from tea helps curb iron absorption (herbal tea doesn’t contain tannin). Cut all foods and snacks that have added iron.

Vitamin C supplements should be limited to less than 100 milligrams per day, because vitamin C promotes iron absorption. Use multivitamins that do not contain iron.
Avoid raw oysters and shellfish like the plague, which may be tainted with
bacteria that might be harmful, even deadly to someone with an iron overload.
