| Need to sell your house? Why not try a spiritual cleansing
Realtors refer to her as "The Smudger" because she smudges smoke from a burning sage stick in each room in a house. She also spritzes aromatherapy oils, plugs in a small fan, rings a bell, plays a cassette tape of undulating music, and sprinkles salt and bits of onion and garlic as a way to stir up the stagnant energy. As she walks around the house praying, she demands that all things not in the highest good leave and that all things in the highest good return. Then she opens the windows and clears out the heavy energy while inviting the light energy back in.
It might all sound like hocus-pocus, but if money is any proof that what she does works, Bloser has inches of receipts for the hundreds of properties she has cleared in northern Colorado and Denver. What had once been something she did for family and friends boomed into a business after she was invited five years ago by long-time Realtor Linda Norton to speak about energetic clearings to the Northern Colorado Women's Council of Realtors.

Valleywag Goes Porno
Valleywag's never been one to pull punches, especially if the punch puts at risk the more prudish element of the audience. But they've never, as far I as know, gone full-on NSFW at the site itself. Celebrity sex tapes are all the rage on the Internet, but do a search on Valleywag and only one result comes back—one for Gene Simmons. In a t-shirt, no pants. And a blonde who's definitely not Shannon Tweed (I'd heard they had an "open" relationship, never thought I'd see it in action.) And that just makes the whole thing extra ewwwwy. Like watching somebody's dad get it on (creepily casually, chewing gum, as though being serviced) with the babysitter. Ewwy, again. After the shock wore off (this involves a rather elaborate process of eye-drops, self-flagellation a la Opus Dei, ritualistic interpretive dance, a chicken sacrifice, and a promise to never, ever do that again), I remembered that Valleywag is a Silicon Valley gossip site.
I-Team: Firefighter-Paramedic Drug Abuse Raises Questions
They are often called heroes, charged with saving property and protecting lives. But last week, a firefighter-paramedic was charged with stealing narcotics from emergency medical kits stored inside fire stations and ambulances. The suspect told police he has been addicted to morphine since 2005. So the I-Team asked how someone could be addicted to drugs and go unnoticed within the fire department for so long. Does the fire department have random drug testing? And if not -- why? Metro randomly tests officers and civilian staff throughout the year and again before someone moves into a specialized unit that handles illegal drugs. So with narcotics like Morphine, Valium and Versed readily available to firefighter paramedics, we asked the fire chief if the Clark County Fire Department does the same.
GYPSY OF THE MONTH: Jim Borstelmann of 'Young Frankenstein'
Its an exclusive club of performers who have portrayed multiple roles in one movie: Alec Guinness, Peter Sellers, Jim Borstelmann... When the musical The Producers was adapted for film, Borstelmann got to repeat all the featured bits he had played on stage, including Scott, Roger DeBris purple-clad choreographer with a crotch bulge; Donald Dinsmore, the lamebrain in coke-bottle glasses who auditions to play Hitler; and the lead Bavarian peasant in Springtime for Hitler. Hes sort of the Lon Chaney of this film, Producers director Susan Stroman says on the DVD commentary. Over another scene, she remarks that Borstelmann is a wonderful comic, and a beautiful dancer. When Stroman reteamed with The Producers creators for their follow-up, Young Frankenstein, they invented a character for Borstelmann to portray: Ziggy, the village idiot.

Mohawks: No arbitration
MONTICELLO " The St. Regis Mohawks this week notified their former partner Empire Resorts that they won't go to arbitration to determine if their agreement is over " their deal to develop a $600 million Indian casino is dead, they say.
"The Tribe does not view arbitration as necessary since the tribe acknowledges that the agreements have expired," Spokeswoman Leslie Logan said. "The tribe is in the process of issuing a letter to Empire Resorts formally acknowledging expiration of the purchase agreement on Dec. 31 and to formally terminate the partnership with Empire."
