Footage of a Naturopath
That Saturday afternoon, I phoned Minarik and made a next-day appointment for a 45-minute “treatment” at the “SPECIAL INTRODUCTORY FEE” of $15. Minarik’s office, apparently an apartment, was on the first floor of a seven-story apartment building in Rego Park, Queens (a borough of New York City). Read more…

Brochures distributed between mid-1990 and August 1995 stated that foot reflexologist “Dr. Richard Minarik, N.D.,” of Rego Park, New York, had treated various celebrities and talents with foot reflexology, including those named or alluded to below. Read more…

The word “reflexology” is generic and, in alternativist circles, broadly refers to any method whose essence is the stimulation (especially digital) of areas below the skin (especially of appendages) to benefit a specific part of the body not proximate to the stimulated area. Read more…

Lettering: You have several options in the area of lettering. You can use stencils to create letters from fabric, construction paper, oaktag, foam core, mat board, etc. Once finished, you can continually reuse these letters for different purposes. You can also spray paint stencil designs and letters onto your chosen surface, but remember they cannot be reused and your surface will be marked permanently. Stencils can be found in hardware stores, hobby or craft shops, and design stores. Read more…

Educational classes and motivational contests are an excellent way to stimulate member interest and participation in your facility. By developing and offering instructional classes and motivational contests, you will assist members in pushing themselves to exercise, try new things and learn new skills.

While many fitness centers across the country provide the standard offering of wellness classes such as weight management, stress management, smoking cessation and healthy back, you may want to branch out and offer a wider variety of exciting classes and instruction. For example, consider trying classes in low-fat cooking, in-line skating, snow skiing, golf and competitive running and swimming, to name just a few. Read more…

Oh my gosh! It’s the third episode, almost at the very end of this third episode, and Erin – you know, the girl with the boobs – actually speaks. I mean, she actually stated something to the cameras. And not only did she state something to the cameras, but she actually came across intelligent.

I’m not surprised at this spark of intelligence just because Erin has breast implants. Personally, I think women are smart to get breast implants (but not the huge ones) because it gives them power and control over the male species. I’m surprised because until now she has said nothing at all that was the slightest bit memorable.

Plus, until now, she has been featured very often as the camera lingers on her beautilicious bod. But still, she hasn’t really spoken until now.

After Jake read the tree mail announcing the next immunity challenge, Erin responded, “When we started off we didn’t think we could’ve picked a better team. All I know is that the majority of us don’t really care whether or not we win immunity. We’re actually hoping we lose. We’re ready to get rid of some people.”

We then heard Tanya say that she’s concerned about having been sick that it might be her that’s going. Who will Tanya vote for? “My vote will probably be for John. From the first day, a lot of people were upset with John because he was saying, ‘You’re not running hard enough’ or ‘You need to do this.’ A lot of people started getting annoyed because he started taking a leadership role.” Read more…

‘Suicidal Emotions’ is a collection of four powerful songs spanning forty-nine minutes, with only one song – the third, ‘Depression, Part II’ – being under eleven minutes in length. As I hinted at above, what first struck me about these compositions was just the way they were recorded and the different levels of emphasis placed on the instruments. Read more…

Sad to say, this is probably not the kind of music that will appeal to most people, and it is obvious that sole Abyssic Hate instrumentalist, composer, and performer Shane Rout has designed his musical expression (at least in this form) to give off, more than anything else, a freezing aura of solipsism, and a ‘warding-off’ atmosphere of solitude, desperation, or despair.
