Goal Zero Solar Charger Review

July 2, 2018 M.D. Creekmore

by Warmongerel

I’ll admit it: I’m a “computer junkie”. I have a Kindle Fire, a regular Kindle, two laptops and my phone. I also have 4 regular “tower” computers. And that doesn’t include what my daughter has. All of that in a house with two people. Yeah, I’m a junkie. My girlfriend calls me a biker-geek. Love that.

I keep a lot of my Prep documents on the Kindles and the laptops, so they’re not (just) toys. Three-ring binders are nice, but I really doubt they’re going to travel well if I have to bug out. A couple of 1 pound (or less), novel-sized Kindles, on the other hand, barely take up any space or weight.

So one of my biggest fears in a SHTF situation is not having any of that available.

Enter the Goal Zero 19010 Guide 10 Plus Small Adventure Kit (you can use this link to check the current price on Amazon.com). It will help to click the link – this thing is kind of hard to describe.

This package consists of two main parts: The Nomad 7 solar panel, and the Guide 10 Plus battery pack. The solar panel is actually two interconnected panels that fold together when not in use to save space. They are

very light (probably less than a pound) and very thin (maybe an inch or so when folded together). Although they’re not very flexible, they do seem pretty rugged. If it were to drop a few feet, I wouldn’t be worried about it breaking. Probably don’t want to run it over with the truck, though.

There are two outputs on the solar panel interface device which is attached to the solar panel. One is for a 12-volt “cigarette lighter” type cord, one is a USB output used to charge your Kindle, I-pad, cell phone, laptop, MP3 player – virtually anything that can be charged from a USB port can be charged using this thing. The last output is to connect the solar panel to the Guide 10 Plus battery pack. Cords are included, but the USB/universal cord is the old type with the larger plug. You’ll have to buy one for the new, smaller universal jacks, but they’re cheap.

There is a mesh, zippered bag on the outside of the unit that can carry the cords and other small items.

The second half of the package, the Guide 10 Plus battery pack, is just a very fancy battery charger. It has 2 inputs for charging the batteries: one for plugging into the Nomad 7, and one for charging via USB port (such as from your laptop).

The Guide 10 plus charges 4 AA batteries (included) and also comes with an adapter to charge 4 AAA batteries (not included). It works with any AA or AAA rechargeable batteries. The Guide 10 Plus also has a USB output to charge devices like the ones mentioned above.

Devices can be charged in three ways: Either directly from the USB or 12-volt outputs on the Nomad 7 solar panel, or the Guide 10 Plus can be plugged into the Nomad 7 and then used as an interface to charge devices through its USB output. The second method is recommended for charging tablet computers and I-phones, as they need a steady voltage to charge, and the batteries provide that steady voltage even when they’re charging.

Devices can also be charged directly from the battery pack if there is no sun. A handy feature at night. Charging times are said to be 3 – 4 hours for most devices and for the batteries, but that is in direct sunlight.

I threw it on my dashboard while I was at work on a mostly cloudy day, and it charged 4 AAA batteries (drained) in about 6 hours. About the same with 4 AA batteries. Not bad considering the sun is very low in the sky up here at this time of year. In bright sunlight and turning it to face the sun every now and then, I can easily believe the 3-hour claim.

To charge my phone and my Kindle, I ran it through the battery pack and both charged in about 2 hours, although they weren’t completely drained when I started. Still impressive. It takes almost that long using 110-volt household voltage!

Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to get my daughter’s I-phone or I-Pad away from her long enough to try those out. If I ever do, I’ll update in the comments section. Don’t hold your breath.

The physical dimensions are: 6.5″ x 9.5″ x 1.8″ and weigh in at about 1.7 pounds. Small, thin and lightweight. Just what a prepper needs.

So far, I am extremely happy with it. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this thing to anyone. If there is a grid- down situation, I’d have a phone, my prep files, books to read, games to play, music and also alarms, calculator, etc. on my Kindles. Add to that a 12-volt source to charge my LED trouble lights and a way to charge AA and AAA batteries for flashlights, radios, etc. All with no fuel, no noise, and a tiny footprint.

All of that would make this thing worth its weight in gold. (Note: they keep improving, updating this thing, so some of the reviews and pictures on the Amazon link are outdated. I think they’ve got it all worked out now, though ?

Georgia Knife Laws: A Guide for Knife Carriers!

July 1, 2018 M.D. Creekmore

Nicknamed The Peach State, Georgia is certainly a peach when it comes to protecting the rights of residents and out-of-state visitors that own and carry knives.

The Georgia Constitution establishes “the right of the people to keep and bear arms.” Georgia’s Constitution also gives legislators the right to “prescribe the manner in which arms may be borne.”

The power granted to Georgia to mold laws concerning the ownership of knives extends beyond constitutional issues.

As the starting point for the world-renowned Appalachian Trail, Georgia represents one of the most popular destinations for outdoor enthusiasts. Knives play an integral role in recreational activities such as camping, fishing, and hunting.

Overview of Georgia Knife Laws

In 2012, the Georgia legislature simplified state knife laws by enacting several statutes that created less regulation, as well as more uniform enforcement guidelines. The Peach State does not place restrictions on the ownership of knives. Unlike its neighbor Florida, Georgia does not ban ballistic knives.

During the 2017 legislative session, Governor Nathan Deal signed a bill that cleared up any confusion caused by previous legal language as it pertains to the carrying of certain concealed knives.

The new 2017 law states “No person shall carry a weapon without a valid weapons carry license [except for certain exemptions that apply only to guns].” Georgia defines a weapon as a knife or handgun.

The legal definition of a knife in The Peach State is “a cutting instrument designed for the purpose of offense and defense consisting of a blade that is greater than five inches [now 12 inches] in length which is fastened to a handle.”

Here is the list of knives that Georgia residents and visitors can own:

Pocket Knives
Butterfly Knives
Machete
SwitchBlade
Dagger
Bowie Knives
Stilettos
Hidden Knives
Ballistic Knives

Also called self-propelled knives, ballistic knives represent knives that detach and eject from the handle to shoot out several yards. A lever or a trigger initiates the detachment of the blade from the handle. Some states outlaw ownership of ballistic knives, while states that allow self-propelled knives place concealed carry restrictions on the weapons.

Permitted Knife Length in Georgia

One of the biggest changes made by the landmark 2017 Georgia knife law involved increasing the maximum size allowed for knife blades. Before 2017, Georgia restricted knife blade size to no more than five inches. The new law more than doubled the permissible maximum knife blade length to 12 inches. Knife owners carrying knives 12 inches or shorter do not need to obtain a knife carrying license.

Georgia Knife Open Carry Law

With the increase in maximum blade length to 12 inches, Georgia residents and visitors can open carry a wide variety of knives. However, the 12-inch maximum limit prohibits the open carry of most swords, daggers, and stilettos. Knife ownership is protected for knives that reach more than 12 inches long, but you cannot carry knives that exceed the 12-inch maximum limit. The only exception to the open carry law is allowing Civil War reenactment actors to carry swords, daggers, and stilettos during live performances.

What are the Concealed Carry Restrictions in Georgia

Georgia law does not distinguish between the open and concealed carrying of knives. Any knife that includes a blade longer than 12 inches requires the owner to apply for a license, regardless if the license is for open or concealed carry. The lack of distinction between open and concealed carry in Georgia makes the state law unique among the knife laws passed my most other states in the country. Georgia open and concealed carry statutes make an exception for regulating knives on school grounds.

Miscellaneous Georgia Knife Statutes

Georgia prohibits any type of knife longer than two inches on public school grounds. Courts have defined school grounds to include student functions, transportation, and safety zones. Many states ban knives of any kind or size on public school property. In Georgia, minors under the age of 18 are not allowed to own or carry knives. Perhaps the most important change in the 2017 Georgia knife law concerns legal uniformity. Georgia law does not allow any other governing body to pass more restrictive knife laws than what the state legislature has already passed.

Georgia Knife Laws Future Predictions

The subtle tweaks made to Georgia knife laws in 2012 and the more significant changes implemented in 2017 makes it highly unlikely the Georgia legislature will address knife legal issues in the near future. The only question for residents and visitors concerns future court rulings on the legality of preventing county and municipal governments from passing more restrictive knife ownership and carrying laws.

[ Note: Out of all of the pocket knives available on Amazon.com this one is my favorite everyday carry knife – click here to see what it is on Amazon.com. I love this knife! It’s built like a tank and holds an edge better than any other knife that I’ve owned…]

Florida Knife Laws 2021 Explained

July 1, 2018 M.D. Creekmore

As one of the prime areas of the country for outdoor enthusiasts, Florida offers myriad recreational activities that require the use of a knife. From cutting through fishing lines to establishing a roped perimeter for a sand volleyball match, knives are a common part of everyday Floridian life.

The Florida State Constitution has laid the legal groundwork for legalizing most styles of knives. Article 1, Section 8 states

“The right of the people to keep and bear arms in defense of themselves and of the lawful authority of the state shall not be infringed, except that the manner of bearing arms may be regulated by law.”

How does Florida regulate knife ownership, with careful attention paid not to discourage recreational use, as well as the constitutional guarantee of using knives for self-defense?

An Overview of Florida Knife Laws

Florida has some of the most friendly knife ownership laws in the United States. Only ballistic knives carry restrictions, including the maximum number of ballistic knives one person can sell.

Every other style of knife in Florida carries no sales restrictions. Florida law defines ballistic knives as knives that detach and propel the blade from the knife handle. Uniform knife prohibition laws apply to school grounds and government property, as well as to anyone under the age of 18.

Here are the knives that are legal to own in Florida:

Pocket Knife
Butterfly Knife
Bowie Knife
SwitchBlade
Dagger
Stiletto
Sword
Machete
Misleading Knife

Open Carry in Florida

The definition of open carry varies between states, with legal precedent establishing the meaning of the term. In Florida, judicial precedent clearly defines open carrying of a knife to involve securing a knife in “plain sight.” Attaching a knife to a utility belt is considered in “plain sight,” while Florida courts have ruled placing a pocket knife in a shirt pocket means “partially hidden.” In Florida, you must display a knife in “plain sight” for it to qualify as open carry.

Every style of knife Florida law has defined to be legal qualifies for open carry.

Concealed Carry in Florida

Florida law prohibits the carrying of concealed weapons. State statute number 790.01 defines a weapon to be “any dirk, knife, metallic knuckles, slingshot, billie club, tear gas gun, chemical weapon or device, or other deadly weapons except a firearm or a common pocketknife, plastic knife, or blunt-bladed table knife.”

Florida law does not clearly define “common pocketknife,” although several judicial decisions have established some legal guidance. The question as to what constitutes a pocketknife is often left up to a judge or jury, which adds little substance to concealed weapon statutes banning specific weapons.

State statute 790.06 mandates anyone that wants to conceal carry a legal knife in Florida must apply for a concealed carry license. Regulators vet concealed carry applications by examining arrest records and ensuring a concealed carry permit does not include carrying at elementary and secondary schools, colleges and universities, and any business that sells alcoholic beverages.

Permitted Knife Length in Florida

The only law that regulates knife length in the State of Florida concerns pocket knives. Common pocket knives must measure less the four inches to qualify for concealed carry. Any pocketknife measuring more than four inches is considered a banned weapon under concealed carry statutes.

However, courts have interpreted how to measure knife blades differently. Some courts measure a knife blade from the bottom of the exposed section of the blade to the blade tip. Other courts begin blade measurement at the base of a blade hidden by a knife handle.

One Type of Knife Forbidden By Florida Law

Since 1985, Florida law has prohibited ownership of ballistic or self-propelled knives. The only regulation pertaining to knives in the State of Florida address ballistic knives, as written into the state’ penal code. “It is unlawful for any person to manufacture, display, sell, own, possess or use a ballistic self-propelled knife which is a device that propels a knifelike blade as a projectile and which physically separates the blade from the device by means of a coil spring, elastic material, or compressed gas.

A ballistic self-propelled knife is declared to be a dangerous or deadly weapon and a contraband item. It shall be subject to seizure and shall be disposed of as provided in s. 790.08(1) and (6).”

Florida Knife Laws in 2018 and Beyond

There is not any proposed legislation in the Florida House or Senate that addresses knife ownership or any other facet of Florida knife law. Despite efforts to overturn the ballistic knife ban, it appears the statutes regulating self-propelled knives should remain the same. Some legislators want to create uniformity in Florida weapons law by preventing municipalities from passing tougher restrictions on concealed carry weapons.

Knife Law: Florida

Arizona Knife Laws: A Guide for Knife Carriers!

July 1, 2018 M.D. Creekmore

knife laws in Arizona — Arizona Knife Laws

America is a federalist country, giving states and local governments a great amount of autonomy to enact their own laws. This means we will often see different laws in different states, and that is certainly true for laws concerning knives.

But if you are in Arizona, you have among the friendliest knife laws in America.

The ownership and carrying of any type of knife are legal for those 21 years or older in almost every circumstance. If you are of age, there is no restriction on the size or type of your knife, and you can carry your knife either open or concealed.

And because of a statewide preemption law passed in 2011, this policy is uniform across the entire state rather than differing from one city or county to another. So if you are traveling throughout Arizona, you do not need to worry that you may run afoul of the law for no other reason but that you are have driven from one town to the next.

According to the City of Phoenix website, “A ‘deadly weapon’ means anything that is designed for lethal use. The term certainly includes a firearm but does not specifically include knives. Knives are generally regarded as tools.” As this shows you, knives are not considered a weapon in Arizona.

Here are more specifics:

Knife law specifics

For those 21 or older, every type of knife, including an automatic knife, is legal to own or carry (either open or concealed) in public. Specifically:

There is no distinction to the knives you can carry based on length, closure or number of edges. Meaning you can carry a knife of any length.
There is no distinction between open carry and concealed knife laws. So you can carry your knife how you would like; the same law applies regardless.
There is no prohibition on the sale or transfer of knives.
There is no distinction based on the type of knife you own or carry, nor is there any limitation on the types of knives you choose to carry. All are legal in Arizona.

These provisions apply only to those 21 years or older.

For those under 21

The liberal knife laws in Arizona apply only to those who are 21 years of age or older. For those under 21, they are only permitted to own and carry a pocket knife, either open or concealed. While there is no specific definition of what a pocket knife is, it generally describes what you and I think of as a pocket knife: a knife with a blade less than four inches that folds and opens manually.

Certain limitations

While the Arizona knife laws are largely friendly, there are a handful of venues where carrying knives is prohibited. This includes schools, hydroelectric facilities, nuclear facilities and public events and gatherings.

Knives are also illegal to carry in the commission of a crime or an act of terrorism. And, you must inform a peace officer you are carrying a knife is he or she asks if you are armed.

Prior to legislation in 2011, Arizona had a hodgepodge of knife laws that left much confusion. A law-abiding knife owner could have easily of broken the law simply by crossing a city line and not realizing that their knife that was legal in their hometown is now illegal.

However, Section 13-3120 of the Arizona State Statutes cleared up the confusion and everyone over 21 has the freedom to own or carry any knife they would like. If you are carrying a knife in Arizona, you have very little to worry about.

Kentucky Knife Laws: A Guide for Knife Carriers!

June 29, 2018 M.D. Creekmore

kentucky-flag - KENTUCKY KNIFE LAWS — Kentucky Knife Laws

Kentucky, which is known for its scenic hills and handcrafted bourbons, is also known for being one of the more friendlier knife owning states located in America.

As a 19th-century pioneer who fought at the Alamo, Jim Bowie played an integral role in pushing for Texas independence. Bowie received a custom-made knife designed and constructed by a Kentucky native. The knife later became known as the Bowie Knife.

Because of the rich heritage of individual freedoms found in The Bluegrass State, Kentucky has historically featured favorable knife ownership laws that included ambiguously worded statutes in reference to concealed carry restrictions.

Overview of Kentucky Knife Laws

In 2013, the Kentucky legislature enacted a preemption knife law that unified state knife laws by eliminating conflicting municipal ordinances, such as the knife restrictions implemented by cities such as Louisville. The different local ordinances made knife ownership difficult, as anyone who moved around the state had to comply with different knife statutes. Five years after knife law reform, Kentucky is a pro knife ownership state that clearly promotes open and concealed carry ownership rights.

Kentucky Constitution and State Knife Laws

The Kentucky Constitution sets the legal framework for laws addressing knife ownership issues. With clear intent to preserve the right to bear arms and the right to defend family and property, Section 1 of the Kentucky Constitution has been cited numerous times in cases involving the legality of knife ownership.

Section 1 reads “All men are, by nature, free and equal, and have certain inherent and inalienable rights, among which may be reckoned.” Kentucky citizens enjoy “the right of enjoying and defending their lives and liberties,” as well as “the right of seeking and pursuing their safety and happiness.” The 7th clause of Section 1 grants the right to bear arms, which most court decisions have ruled pertains to knives.

Knife Ownership in Kentucky

Knife ownership in Kentucky can be boiled down to one sentence. Residents are allowed to buy, sell, carry, and display any type of knife on private property. Kentucky law first defines the “regular” types of knives covered under the law to include clasp, pocket, hunting, and Bowie knives. Once banned for private ownership, knife enthusiasts in Kentucky are allowed to own daggers, stilettos, bayonets, and KA-BAR blades

Here are some of the “exotic” knives that are legal to own in The Bluegrass State:

Comb Dirks
Dagger Necklaces
Disguised Knives
Swords
Machetes
Throwing Knives
Balisong Knives
Martial Arts Throwing Stars

Knives made illegal by other American states are not considered unlawful to own when brought to Kentucky. The Bluegrass State does not prohibit knives based on the methods of opening, the technique used, or any other standard.

Open Carry in Kentucky

Open carry in Kentucky is much more lenient than concealed carry for knife owners. Knife owners are permitted to open virtually any type of knife, with the exception being Civil War relic knives that belong in museums and at historical landmarks. Kentucky law does not restrict the length of knives for open carry.

Concealed Carry in Kentucky

The Kentucky legislature has passed more restrictive statutes for regulating concealed carry knives. You must apply for a license to conceal carry a knife in The Bluegrass State. Section 527.020 of the Kentucky Revised Statutes (KRS) prohibits the carrying of concealed weapons of any type, without presenting a license granting concealed carry for a weapon. KRS 500.080 exempts only a few types of knives from concealed carry law, including common hunting and pocket knives. Concealed carry implies a maximum knife length, but no law specifically defines the maximum length. Vague legal wording has led to several lawsuits filed by Kentucky residents fighting for the right to conceal carry long-bladed knives outside of the hunting and pocket knife categories.

Kentucky Miscellaneous Knife Laws

Kentucky law forbids knives on the grounds and within the buildings of schools, prisons, and courthouses. The prison ban includes makeshift knives inmates use for committing violent acts. However, some cities have added more restrictions. For example, Queensboro prohibits any type of knife carrying in municipal parks. State open carry laws remain the same for every municipality operating in The Bluegrass State.

KRS 237.110 spells out the procedure required to apply for a concealed carry license. Kentucky approves concealed carry license applications on a “shall issue” basis, which means applicants 21 years of age or older that have clean criminal records should receive automatic approval of applications. You also have to be a citizen of the United States to receive a concealed carry knife license.

Kentucky Knife Laws Moving Forward

Nothing on the Kentucky legislative docket in 2018 suggests current knife laws will change for at least one year. However, there is momentum in the state to loosen the restrictions on concealed carry knife laws.

Review: Darkest Days – How to Survive an EMP Attack to the Grid

June 25, 2018 Jesse Mathewson

Personally, I tend to avoid conspiracies and doomsday predictions, because typically they are, fear-based attempts to drive an individual or groups agenda. At no point in history has any species lived longer than it should nor has any state or collection of states lasted forever. This said I was sent a copy of the book Darkest Days: how to survive an EMP attack to the grid (Link goes to Amazon.com) recently, my review of this book follows. What follows is my review.

Thirty-five pages of explanations regarding what EMPs are and why they pose a risk using solid scientific and mathematical validation were how the book began. As I read through each page I had flashbacks to the e-book Alive after the Fall by an individual who was so ashamed of their work that they did not even use their real name. Certainly, there is a modicum of truth to the idea that in today’s highly industrialized world there is a risk of both natural and manmade EMP related disasters.

However, as I pointed out in the review of Alive after the Fall, these risks are not nearly as disastrous as many would have you believe. In fact, modern electronics are made from less and less metal than ever before lending to their increased survivability during magnetic or EMP interference.

For instance, modern Solid-State Drives are virtually indestructible and have the potential for extremely long-term data storage as compared to the older magnetic drives in use with many lower-end computers. ¹

Next is the inevitable discussion regarding vehicles and the overall electric grid. The simple reality is that if a pulse occurs that is large enough to knock it all offline, your vehicle running is the least of your concerns. Rather, the infrastructure itself providing you with extra fuel is the more important issue at hand.

This means that regardless vehicle type and in fact in spite of in some case, for instance, older fuel-guzzling non-electronically guided vehicles will need more fuel than most of us will be able to store with any real hope of longevity. This leads to the review of the rest of the book, and the preparations the author suggests implementing overall.

Page 39 of the book begins with this interesting line, “Unfortunately, it has been proven that those with less income tend to not fare as well as those who took a little bit of time and money each month to prepare. It is understandable but ANY small thing you can do today will help get you prepared and improve your chances of survival.”

When you look only at statistics coming from densely populated, heavily industrialized, city-states in the last 100 years this is in fact correct. However, what the author conveniently fails to make mention of is the simple reality that through excessive use of force by the states involved those who had less and in every case, no ability to defend themselves were indeed less likely to fare well and rarely have.

You see the author like the author of the other similar tome recently reviewed tends to believe that government is infallible and necessary to the continued happy coexistence of society as a whole.

I would posit that government is at its best unnecessary while society or people as a whole are in fact at their worst still better than government at its very best. I am agreed with by many of the brightest non-socialist minds across history, from Thomas More in the 1500’s through Thomas Paine and onward the reality of collapse is first that it is inevitable and second that humanity can indeed function quite well without babysitters made up of selfish individuals interested in personal gain of power or money.

The benefits of this book lie in the prepping advice,

put away a little at a time and over time your supplies will build nicely
food, water, toiletries, medication and the like are areas that are specifically looked at first in the book
involving the family and having A meeting place is also beneficial goals, though as with everything I suggest more than one.
A rather quick blurb regarding protection is mentioned without specifics

After these basic beneficial mentions, the author goes right back into in-depth preparations for what they describe as an inevitable EMP event. I personally do have spare electronic devices such as pre-programmed hand-held radios and backed up data storage in EMP resistant protective approaches, the reality is I could afford the extra radios at the time and I always backup data!

Over the rest of the book, there is some relatively decent information with regards to setting up a variety of energy generating pieces of equipment. Unfortunately, I do not believe that this brief and rather incomplete information is worth paying money for the book. Where the book itself may have some redeeming qualities is in the add-ons that are given to the original purchaser of this book.

First is Unscathed Survival: how to come out untouched from 10 different scenarios, 73 pages of reading with a few areas that are simply not applicable and several others that are.

Among the applicable information is the preparations for and survival after of floods, earthquakes, and other natural disaster preparation is essential. Though it should be mentioned that these same preparations can be easily found on the Red Cross site for free.

Next is Off-grid Home Protection System, this one is interesting with several solid approaches mentioned that are sometimes overlooked. Again, I would say that the author failed to adequately follow through. I have known several persons who purchased and installed many security measures as mentioned here including livestock guarding dogs or LGDs as the author states.

However, like the author they failed to implement any real training around these items and to this day the dogs are little better than house dogs regardless their use of German phrasing for commands as none of the dogs was trained and as many have proven untrained dogs regardless breed are little more than a distraction to home invaders.

My personal recommendation is either well-trained protection dogs OR small dogs like terriers (link goes to Amazon.com and terrier training manual) and the like who will be quite noisy and give an alarm. Some having proven to actually be more willing to attack intruders when compared to larger dog breeds (when both are untrained). I do love the use of vegetation with stickers on it as deterrents.

Personally, as a high desert dweller, I love prickly pear and ocatillo cacti along the inside of my back and front walls. These are almost impenetrable and can be placed for a visual benefit, not to mention the food and medicinal benefit of both of these plants!

Lastly, we have the final addition, how to make your own pharmacy. Sadly, this particular booklet has no value outside of pointing out the potential benefits of herbal medicine. There is no real guidance into what and how to make up various medications from the herbs mentioned.

And NO, making a tea or tonic is not simple nor is it the only way. There are dozens of approaches to the application of herbal medicines and only a few right ways. This booklet does not explain those well.

Only two or three of the mentioned herb-based recipes actually go into detail and offer a somewhat solid approach. For anyone with no or little real experience with these things, this book could easily do more harm than good.

My overall impression is that the authors or author of this book series simply wishes to cash in on the hysteria embracing so many uninformed individuals today. I would definitely suggest avoiding the purchase of these books and any that use words like “guarantee” in the ads for them.

Rather spend your money on solid well put together books (link goes to Amazon.com) that are written by individuals who use their own names and have the credentials and experience to support their work. I will be reviewing a few more books over the next few weeks, and many of them will be positive reviews.

Free the mind and the body will follow…
