Entourage: The Contemporary Definition of Cool

Glamour has our society swimming in a sparkling sea of delusion and vanity has a whole new face that can’t move its forehead. With this in mind it is no wonder HBO’s hit show Entourage has become so popular. It reflects powerful distractions that throw human beings off their personal course to achieve their full potential, including the procrastinator’s drug of choice that’s being smoked in 50 per cent of their episodes – marijuana. The creators of Entourage continue to master in the art of manipulating and exploiting human weakness.

The team at Entourage has chosen not to shy away from the proverbial fast lane and the toxic consequences that their actors never take seriously. Also interesting is the real-world application of flirtation with this “road of spoils” or “fast-lane” lifestyle. This often tempts its patrons with an exciting taste for the senses that leads to a desire to continually live life in a way that ignores the inner Read more

Lyme Disease: Tick Talk

Chris Vanclief woke in the dead of night, gasping and clutching his chest. An ambulance quickly rushed him to the hospital where an ECG came back clear. Two weeks later, an episode of difficult breathing, chest and abdominal pain, shakes and fatigue gripped the 38-year-old, a chiropractor and hockey coach in prime physical condition. “I remember being in the hospital and turning to my wife to say, ‘Something’s eating me inside and nobody’s listening.’”

As the days lagged on, Vanclief slept through Christmas and forgot his niece’s name. Test after test came back with no conclusive answers. Doctors simply told him, ‘there’s nothing wrong with you.’

As his unexplained pain mounted, a serious and growing concern continued its breadth across Canada, infecting parents and children bite by bite. Read more

BP Oil Spill: A Crude Conundrum

A manmade disaster of catastrophic proportions gushed through the Gulf of Mexico two days before Earth Day this year. Millions of gallons of poison surged from the seafloor, swimming throughout the world’s ninth largest body of water. The Gulf laps onto the shores of Florida, Texas, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana – states still fragile from the destructive aftermaths of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

As flames licked the BP oil rig, a haunting déjà vu unfolded, eclipsing the Exxon Valdez disaster in size and depth and bringing a 40-year-old environmental movement to its trembling knees.

“The world should raise its eyebrows and say, ‘enough of this,’” says Dave Rauschkolb, who believes that many of the world’s problems are tied to our dependence on oil and prehistoric energy policies. A regular Joe and environmental prophet, if you will Read more
