Thanks ladies! I take a calcium/mag supplement every night, and a passionflower tincture. I'm eating pretty much just protein at this point and walking a couple of hours a day. I've also been drinking a pregnancy tea that has nettle in it, but I'll have to try just the tea - thanks Heather.
At my check today my bp was back down a bit, not as much as she wants it but enough to make her comfortable with me staying with her as long as it doesn't spike again. It helped that she had me do blood work over the weekend and my labs all came back with no sign of pre-eclampsia or any other liver problems. So as of right now we're good! I'm going to a chiropractor tomorrow... she says that my cervix is so soft and mushy right now that if we can get her to drop and get that pressure that things will happen quickly. Hoping to get her here by the weekend!

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Civil War Trust, Washington, DC, USA
I have been a member of the Civil War Trust for several years. I am so glad to be a member, I can't remember the exact date. I donate regularly - actually to every request I receive even if it's a small amount. Through doing this I have become one of the most frequent donors. I may not donate the most money but I do contribute. I do this because I believe I the cause. We must preserve the land for which our ancestors fought & spilled their blood. The Civil War Trust does the best ever to accomplish this task. I have never had to use just my money, they always find additional funds to compliment my donation. If I donate a dollar, it is multiplied by 2 to 10 times. You could never get this kind of return on any other investment. I don't even know for sure if I had any relatives in the war, but I wholeheartedly believe we should save this land. We must teach our history to our children, which by the way, the Trust does also. I can't compliment any one group more. I donate to Church first, but the Civil War Trust gets the rest of my donation dollars.
Review for Civil War Trust, Washington, DC, USA
Civil War Trust is a "top-notch" organization. I have been a contributing member since 2002. They show the utmost dedication to preserving our Nation's heritage. The top priority is saving our disappearing Civil War Battlefields for our future generations. They do this with the greatest enthusiasm. They use every opportunity to maximize our donations. Using Federal & State matching funds & pairing with other organizations such as Central VA Battlefields Trust & Shenandoah Valley Battlefields Foundation (which I am also a member), they can reach 3:1 to 10:1 returns on our money. I've never seen a more judicious use our donations. But they also contribute to battlefield interpretation including maps & signage for visitors, teacher instruction for teaching the Civil War to our future generations, protecting land surrounding sites from inappropriate development, & much more. I am proud to be a donor. I have made over 100 donations, try to contribute some amount to each campaign drive in addition to yearly membership donations, & try to increase my donations each year. I contribute to several charitable organizations but Civil War Trust is the best organized & managed giving its members the most "bang for the buck". I am GLAD to see the Trust has earned your highest rating - Civil War Trust well deserves it.

JustFoodERP have been nothing but a fantastic partner to work with. They started out on the right foot by flying in to show us a demo and how we would connect to NAV using Mac's and we haven't looked back.
Perfect for small to mid size companies. Ease of use. Fantastic support. Friendly employees. Plus they throw the best yearly customer appreciation parties I have ever been to!
Some bugs linger for longer than you would expect and come back once you think you have them fixed.
If you are looking for an ERP or just a NAV partner I doubt you will find a better company to work with.

JustFoodERP has been very customizable and easy to work with. So far, it has met and exceeded our expectations. Once everything is set up, the software behaves consistently without issues.
Easy navigation and excellent search functionality.
Lack of documentation. The built-in help is pretty much useless.
Make sure you know exactly what your requirements are before you begin implementation.

I thought that the training I received from Just foods was horrible. Everything that the person was talking about was very technical instead of regular people terms. The person showed stuff that we never intended to use. The wording in the program is not food oriented but manufacture oriented. The reporting system is awful as well. I find the program very difficult to understand. The program does not calculate the orders up so that we know how much of each item we need to make for all of our stores.
you can track the lot numbers.
Reporting, lacking the ease of use, wording

Sully Erna Shines Spotlight on Opioid Crisis With 'Different Kind of Tears' Video
Subscribe to 96.3 The Blaze on
Sully Erna is back with a powerful new video for the song "Different Kind of Tears" off his Hometown Life solo album. The Godsmack vocalist has shot a clip for the song that turns a spotlight on America's growing opioid crisis.
The video was shot in partnership with the Mark Wahlberg Youth Foundation and Recovery Centers of America. Directors Jokes Flick and Mills Miller center the action on a pair of youths both struggling with addictions that have torn their family apart. Along with the two youths, we see scenes of a group of parents at a special meeting holding photos of the kids they've lost to addiction. The video plays out with tragic circumstances and the two storylines are brought together in the end.
The clip opens with the staggering detail that in 2016 alone, more than 50,000 drug overdose-related deaths were announced in the U.S. The clip ends with Erna's own statement, "Together we can make a change. #drugfreeisuptome."
Erna is continuing to speak on the matter, recently taking part in an interview on NPR's Here & Now. You can hear that interview here.
Meanwhile, Erna's Hometown Life album is currently available to purchase at this location. Look for Erna kicking off a European trek in September. Dates can be found here.

Donation Guidelines
Information Age Learning Center (InfoAge) is a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit organization as as defined by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. This means that donations made to InfoAge qualify for a deduction on taxes.
Our non-profit status may be verified at the IRS website on their Search for Charities page. We are listed as "Information Age Learning Center" and it will confirm that we are located in Wall Township, New Jersey.
The IRS has a general guide about donations that may be helpful. It can be found here, and is a PDF file (requires Adobe Acrobat Reader, which is free to download).
Some highlights from this article include:
- You cannot deduct the value of your time.
- You can deduct the cost of fuel/oil and/or transport.
- You cannot deduct appraisal fees.
- You cannot deduct for household items that are considered "less than good used condition" (with exceptions for items over $500 fair market value in its current state)

- You cannot deduct partial interest in property (with exception)
- You may deduct for donating inventory, following your standard method of accounting to determine it's fair value.
- Most types of donated items rely on "Fair Market Value" to determine the amount available for deduction. "Fair Market Value" is defined as "the price at which property would change hands between a willing buyer and willing seller, neither having to buy or sell, and both having reasonable knowledge of all the relevant facts".
- There are four major "tiers" of non-cash donations, being:
- Less than $250
- At least $250 but not more than $500
- More than $500 but less than $5,000
- More than $5,000

If you would like more information on the donation progress, please contact us. We'd be more than happy to help.
Matching Gifts
Employee matching gifts are simply that: corporate donations triggered by a gift made by an employee. This practice originated in the 1950s, when the chair of the General Electric Board of Directors persuaded his company to match employee gifts in order to stimulate their giving to colleges and universities. Since that time, many companies have adopted the idea and have expanded it to include other causes, although the bulk of the money still goes to education. Statistics from a recent survey done by the Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE), a nonprofit organization that promotes employee matching gifts, show that 51% of the companies surveyed made gifts to at least one noneducational organization, 30% matched environmental/conservation groups and 23% matched gifts to all nonprofit organizations.
A few more interesting statistics from CASE include:
- 33% of employee matching givers will match contributions from retirees
- 14% will match contributions from spouses of eligible employees
- 12% match employee gifts at a ratio of 2/1 or even 3/1
- Most matching gifts are unrestricted or are for the same use as the employee's gift
- In addition to cash employee gifts, some companies will also match gifts of securities (51%) and volunteer time (6%)
Among the companies surveyed by CASE, the industries having the most matching gift programs were manufacturing, finance, insurance, services, and public utilities.
How Does the Matching Gift Process Work?
Company employees initiate matching gifts. The usual steps include:
- The employee gets a matching gift form from his/her employer (often the human resources department) and fills it out in full.
- The employee sends the form to the nonprofit organization along with his/her contribution.
- The nonprofit receiving the gift completes the form and mails it back to the company in question.
- The company sends the nonprofit the matching gift.
If a company does not have a matching gift program, an inquiry from an employee can sometimes help motivate management to set one up.
Estate Planning
In addition to making financial gifts today, you may also want to consider including Information Age Learning Center in your long-term financial plans. This can provide you the opportunity to make a larger gift to InfoAge than you may have thought possible. InfoAge, these kinds of gifts mean future financial stability, allowing us to continue preserving the history of our community for many years. For you, these gifts can mean relief from estate taxes, capital gains tax relief, avoiding double tax on retirements assets, making a large gift through insurance plans, and even increased income.
The plans discussed below are only suggested ideas. If you would like to set up any of the following plans, we suggest that you discuss the possibilities with your attorney or financial planner. Please contact us, preferably by letter, and let us know of your plans.
Including InfoAge in your will
The easiest way to leave a lasting gift to InfoAge is by including us in your will. A bequest is as simple as it is powerful; with a few words in your will, you can continue to support the preservation and education efforts of InfoAge beyond your lifetime. Chances are even after you have made adequate provisions for your family and friends, you can have a bigger impact than you ever thought possible — and you don't have to be wealthy to do it!
Best of all, when you make a bequest, you will have the good feeling of having done something significant to help preserve the history of the United States. No other kind of donation gives you this privilege.

Day 7- Gracie's Birthday
Posted: Thu, Aug 4, 2016
Location: Mountain Point, Virgin Gorda
We started the morning off by traveling from Vixen Point to Mountain Point. On the way, we had oatmeal and fruit for breakfast. After the meal, the Vega girls headed over to Caribbean Soul for some sailing practice. Each person was able to successfully tack and jibe. We had a lunch of deli sandwiches and PB+J. This morning the advanced divers had their first fish ID dive. Later the Vega divers practiced man overboard drills. We dropped Freddie the Fender into the water and did a figure eight to pick him up. Everyone did an amazing job. When we got back to Sambamba we did our last confined water dives. Everyone showered off in the ocean and we had Mexican food for dinner. We were having a scuba chat but we broke into a dance party. Later we will eat cake for Gracie's birthday.

Is your teen a spender or saver? More parents describe their teen as a "Quick Spender" (60%) than a "Stellar Saver" (40%) according to the 2008 Schwab Parents and Money Survey.
Lynne says, "Parents have great insight into their kids' spending and saving habits. As a result, the challenge is in helping kids learn to balance spending and saving. As adults, these kids will have to make spending and saving work together in their best interests over the long term. Parents can start their kids on the road to financial competence by giving them responsibility for some of their own expenses while they are still living at home."Follow me on social media:

During the process of recombinant cell line optimisation for production of biopharmaceuticals, multiple cellular properties like robustness against stress, the attainment of high cell concentrations and maintenance of high viability must be considered to maximize protein yield. To improve growth and viability, glutamine is supplemented as an alternative energy source for rapidly dividing cells that oxidize glucose inefficiently. However, the resulting by-product ammonia is toxic at high concentrations and has a negative impact on protein glycosylation, a major quality-determining parameter of biopharmaceuticals. In this work, the CHO-K1 cell line was adapted to a chemically defined medium and suspension growth within 3 weeks. Subsequently, the glutamine concentration was stepwise reduced from 8 to 4 and 2 mM. After each reduction, both the final cell concentration in the batch and the viability decreased. To force a rapid evolution of cells to achieve high final cell concentrations, cells were seeded at high densities (107 cells/mL) and surviving cells were sorted by FACS or MACS when viability declined to 10% (typically after 24 h). Sorted cells were grown in batch until viability declined to 10% and viable cells recovered again. The final sorted population was able to reach comparable or even better viable cell concentrations and showed a significantly improved viability compared to their ancestors. The 2 mM glutamine-adapted cell line was directly transferred into glutamine-free medium and was able to grow at comparable rates without requiring further adaptation. Cells compensated the lack of glutamine by increasing their consumption of glutamate and aspartate. © 2010 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.

3' Untranslated regions (3'UTRs) of messenger RNAs have important roles in post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression and this is partly achieved through binding of specific proteins to sequences or structures within these regions. Previously, replacement of a native luciferase 3'UTR with the human albumin 3'UTR has been found to lead to a 10-fold increase in luciferase reporter activity. In this work we investigated protein binding to the human albumin 3'UTR. Electrophoretic mobility shift and UV cross-linking assays indicate that a ∼50. kDa protein from Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells binds to the albumin 3'UTR, and affinity experiments followed by proteomics identified this protein as CUG binding protein 1 (CUG-BP1, also known as CELF1). Deletion analysis of the albumin 3'UTR showed that nucleotides 1-50 and nucleotides 101-150 are not required for binding but that removal of nucleotides 51-100 caused a loss in binding. The results suggest that CUG-BP1 binds to nucleotides 51-100 of the human albumin 3'UTR. In human cells CUG-BP1 binding may thus play a role in regulation of albumin expression and, additionally, it may have a function in post-transcriptional control in CHO cells. © 2012 Elsevier Inc.

Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells are used for recombinant protein production in the pharmaceutical industry but there is a need to improve expression levels. In the present work experiments were carried out to test the effectiveness of different 3′untranslated regions (3′UTRs) in promoting production of a naturally secreted luciferase. Seamless cloning was used to produce expression vectors in which Gaussia princeps luciferase coding sequences were linked to the human albumin, immunoglobulin or chymotrypsinogen 3′UTR. Stably transfected CHO cells expressing these constructs were selected. Luciferase activity in the culture medium was increased 2-3-fold by replacing the endogenous 3′UTR with the albumin 3′UTR and decreased by replacement with immunoglobulin or chymotrypsinogen 3′UTR. Replacement of the native 3′UTR with the albumin 3′UTR led to a 10-fold increase in luciferase mRNA levels. Deletion analysis of the albumin 3′UTR showed that loss of nucleotides 1-50, which removed an AU-rich complex stem loop region, caused significant reductions in both luciferase protein expression and luciferase mRNA levels. The results suggest that recombinant protein expression and yield could be improved by the careful selection of appropriate 3′UTR sequences. © 2012 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.

After two weeks away from the team, senior defensive tackle Casey Walker return to practice Monday afternoon. Walker was dealing with a personal issue according to coach Bob Stoops, but met with Stoops last Wednesday and agreed to rejoin the team.
With Kansas State and power-running quarterback Collin Klein set to visit Norman in two weeks, the timing couldn't be better.
"Casey is a big part of what we do," defensive coordinator Mike Stoops said Monday. "He gives us another stout body in the middle. He's played some great football for us here, and we're excited to get him back and get him going stronger than ever."
Walker has started 12 games the last two seasons and was the projected starter going into this season after fall camp. Walker had two tackles and batted down a pass during last season's 58-17 win against the Wildcats.
Mike Stoops said that he expects Walker to be ready to play for K-State, despite being away from football the last couple of weeks.
"He's missed a couple weeks, but he went through training camp," Mike Stoops said. "He practiced a great deal through the month of August. It shouldn't take him long to get back. We'll see where he's at.

Dear Friend of The Fellowship,
A Russian plane crashes in the Sinai Peninsula, killing all 224 aboard. A 70-year-old Israeli man is critically injured in a stabbing attack in Netanya, one of the latest acts of violence in the wave of terror currently gripping Israel.
In just the last week alone, there are countless events that could strike fear in us all. And that doesn't even account for more personal issues like unemployment, fractured marriages, or sick parents.
While fear is a natural human reaction to many things here in our broken world, we are counseled by God to avoid unwarranted fear. Throughout the Bible, God told His people not to fear. Many times, He reassured the Israelites that, though their enemies were in hot pursuit on all sides, He would protect and defend them. And He did – from raging seas, from warring nations, from those who would mock the things of God.
We stand in faith today knowing He is that same God.
In Isaiah 41:10 God tells Israel, "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." The Psalms, too, are full of words of human fear and godly reassurance. It is because of this reassurance that we can say, along with David, "The Lord is my light and my salvation – whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life – of whom shall I be afraid?" (Psalm 27:1).
When we turn our human fear into trust in God, holding His power in greater esteem than any of the forces here on earth, we are changed. It is then, and only then, that we can look at the turmoil that is happening on the world stage – or perhaps in our own lives – and truly know peace in our hearts.
With prayers for unity and shalom, peace,
Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein
President and Founder, International Fellowship of Christians and Jews® of Canada

Paladin is killing a little time while waiting for his current enamorata to get herself primped up. His attention is grabbed by the news of a potential range war between the DeVries brothers. He immediately starts to prepare to send his card to...someone. His agitation is made clear by the fact that he cancels his evening with the young lady, although it isn't strictly necessary--he's going to have to wait for a reply, after all. (San Francisco must be full of women pining for Paladin--and an equal number wanting to hit him.) We see further evidence of Paladin's upset--normally his penmanship is a very fine hand, but the message on the back of his card--"IOU a Debt" is done in a clumsy scrawl.
The elder DeVries, Walt, is a cattleman, while the younger, Tony is a farmer--as are the majority of the citizens in the area. Walt's cattle are constantly damaging the farmers' crops, so they plan to string barbed wire to protect their land--which seems a reasonable thing to do, but Walt does not agree. Paladin arrives in town to find a trio of Walt's men harasssing a young ranch hand who works for Tony DeVries and his wife--who apparently is not well regarded by Walt's men. Paladin rescues the boy, and travels with him to Tony's homestead.
Tony had saved Paladin's life in the past. It would have been interesting to learn the details, but the only hint is that it was apparently during the Civil War. Tony wants Paladin to clear the debt by killing Walt, feeling that this is the only way to settle the matter. Elizabeth, Tony's wife, had been engaged to Walt, a man nearly twice her age, until she got a look at younger brother Tony. She and Tony both acknowledge that they treated Walt badly, but it's a done deal and can't be changed. Walt not only beat Tony to a pulp--which Tony conceded was his right--he then tied his brother up and whipped him until he broke down, leaving him with physical and emotional scars.
Walt refuses to get past the hurt done to him by his brother and fiancee, but his bitterness is affecting far more than just his kin. He acts as if all the land is his alone, the settlers being annoying encumbrances to be trodden down. On his way to see Walt, Paladin sees evidence of the poverty and resentment Walt is causing. Paladin's rationality and eloquence fail him--Walt will make no concessions whatsoever. His point of view is that a man is a winner or a loser, and if a man is a loser, he is absolutely nothing at all. Backing down would make him a loser. He makes it clear that he will kill anyone who tries to string barbed wire (where are the legal authorities in all of this?) and also indicates that if Paladin helps his brother, he will whip Paladin until he breaks down, too.
Paladin and Tony return from riding Tony's property to find his young ranchhand dead and the house full of Walt's men and Walt himself. Paladin is disarmed. Unable to do anything, Tony and Elizabeth drive helplessly away as their home is set on fire. Paladin turns to go as well, but is brought up short by Walt's whip. It doesn't take him long to get the upper hand, retrieve his main gun and escape. Walt orders his men to find him and kill him.
Paladin barricades himself in a neighbor's barn, brusquely refusing the man's offer to help. He shoots Walt's main henchman, and discovers that the other men are not particularly happy with Walt's actions. He tells them that he will await Walt in town.
The ending gets rather confusing. Tony had earlier stated that he wanted Paladin to kill Walt. When Walt arrives in town, Paladin strongly implies that Tony has asked him not to kill him (which I suppose is possible) and that he will only kill Walt if Walt forces him to. Getting Walt's whip, Paladin actually only strikes one blow with the business end--the remainder of the fight is hand-to-hand. He begs Walt to simply allow his neighbors to live and work in peace. Walt agrees--but only because Paladin has defeated him, and thereby, in his eyes, Paladin has destroyed him. He's left a completely broken man. Tony and Elizabeth seem to regard the situation with pity, although Tony states that it had to be done. This seems true enough--it doesn't seem likely that Walt would have backed down any other way, and it wasn't Paladin's fault that Walt allowed one fight to wreck his life. Paladin's final comment to Tony makes it sound as though he is disgusted with him, and will henceforth have nothing to do with him. He seems to have forgotten that he was the one who offered to help in the first place. And everyone seems to have forgotten that a young boy was murdered in the course of this.

We were traveling with our three month old puppy, so picked this Embassy Suites hotel. They were very friendly at checkin and let us know we would be on a pet-designated floor. We only stayed one night, but the room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was the highlight. My teenagers mentioned several times how friendly one of the restaurant staff members was at breakfast. They were sorry they hadn't noticed his name. The breakfast was delicious.

By Dr. Sari Eitches & Dr. Edison de Mello
Hormones are secreted by endocrine glands and have a very complex and important role in our health and well-being. The optimal function of our physiology depends on the interaction and balance of many different hormones. Testosterone, progesterone, estrogen and DHEA, known as the sex hormones, interact with other hormones from the pituitary, thyroid, adrenal glands, pancreas, and other endocrine glands to help the body stay balanced and function optimally. When our hormones are balanced, our energy lifts, our mood stabilizes, metabolism balances, cardiovascular and musculoskeletal systems are supported, and sexual drive and function and fertility are optimized.
Hormone balance is delicate and can be disrupted quite easily. Hormone levels naturally change throughout the time of day, month, year and phase of life. Natural aging is associated with a loss of sex hormones. When this happens, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy leads not only increased well-being, but also to increase sex drive and sexual pleasure. Additionally, it can reverse the muscle and bone loss often seen with aging.
Types of Male and Female Hormones:
Found in greater amounts among women, estrogen is a sex hormone whose main function is growth and development. Since estrogen stimulates fat cells to grow, it is a key component in reproduction. Estradiol, estrone, and estriol are the three different forms of estrogen. Estradiol is considered the main player in physiological function. A deficiency can cause several health concerns, including decreased libido, fatigue, inflammation, hair loss, wrinkles, brittle bones, dry skin and mood swings. Excessive amounts of estrogen can lead to bloating, bleeding, breast tenderness and mood swings.
Considered the counterpart to estrogen, progesterone antagonizes estrogen-driven growth in the lining of the uterus and it is thus essential to the menstrual cycle. It rises during the second part of the cycle to reduce premenstrual syndrome and prepares the uterus for implantation of a fertilized egg. Also, it is needed for a healthy pregnancy as low levels of progesterone can lead to miscarriage. An imbalance in the ratio of estrogen to progesterone can lead to many problems with PMS symptoms such as irritability, bloating, fluid retention, headaches, and fibroids. It works with estrogen to strengthen bones, sustain cholesterol levels, preserve neuronal structure and function, and support libido. Too much progesterone can cause fatigue, dizziness, and an increased appetite.
Testosterone is the predominant secx hormone in men. Its main functions are to maintain healthy muscle mass, stamina, and strength. In addition, it supports libido, energy, bone density, memory, and well-being. But testosterone is also necessary for proper hormonal balance in women. In both men and women, low testosterone levels can lead to many symptoms, such as low energy, decreased cognition, decreased libido, increased irritability, fatigue and a decline in well-being. Testosterone decline in both men and women starts around age 35; this leads to an imbalance between testosterone and estrogen. Too much testosterone can cause aggression, depression, and can paradoxically cause impotence.
Released by the Adrenal glands, DHEA is most abundant steroid hormone in the body and the precursor to both testosterone and estrogen. As early as age 30,, DHEA levels starts to decline leading to fatigue, mood swings, and cognitive ailments. DHEA helps to stimulate protein synthesis, decrease visceral fat, support bone health, and maintain cardiovascular health. DHEA levels that are too high can cause acne, increased facial hair, skin rashes, and liver dysfunction.
Although there are many external factors that can affect hormone levels and balance, the good news is that there are steps that we can take to optimize our hormones:
- Exercise. Resistance training helps maintain muscle mass and support bone health, which supports testosterone and parathyroid function. Cardio helps achieve ideal body fat ratios, which supports estrogen metabolism.
- 2. Diet. Proper nutrition is vital for hormone balance. Specific recommendations for hormone optimization are to limit animal products (especially dairy) and to increase plant proteins, flax, green and cruciferous vegetables, and green tea.
- Vitamins and minerals. Ideal vitamin levels are necessary to support hormone production. Adequate levels of Vitamin D and zinc are needed for sex hormone function while selenium and iodine are needed for thyroid function. Omega 3 fatty acids are also important for hormone synthesis.
- Sleep. Improving the quality and quantity of sleep helps restore our natural circadian rhythm, which strengthens our optimal hormone rhythm.
- Stress. Cortisol is known as the stress hormone. When it is persistently elevated it wreaks havoc on other hormones such as insulin (resulting blood sugar fluctuations and cravings) and adrenaline (triggering the "fight or flight response.") Reducing stress levels with practices such as exercise, meditation, and social connection all support hormonal health.
- Toxins. Avoiding toxic endocrine interrupters in our food and environment is also key. Eat organic foods when possible, drink filtered water, store (and heat) food in glass rather than plastic, and avoid pollution as much as possible.
- Next steps. If you suspect your hormones are out of balance, we can test your levels and create an individualized plan to optimize levels. In addition to the above we may recommend botanicals, supplements, and/or bioidentical hormones.

If I was a movie critic, I could sum up every movie ever produced like this: Scary movies aren't scary. Dramas are usually boring and unbelievable. Romantic comedies??... whatever dude. Edgy comedies are really your only safe bet. And I wouldn't go to the theatre to see them. When I watch a movie, I want to be comfy with a good supply of fine spirits, lots of snacks and room to laugh my ass off. If you really want someone else to give you their opinion of a movie, wouldn't you want to know something about the person offering their opinion? Because really, reviews are just like, you know, someone's opinion, man.
In the new world, movie critics will have to provide a list of their fav movies as well as the following info: Age, race, gender, education, turn ons & turn offs!

Ratings for Dr. Nadia Elihu
Dr Elihu is very nice and knowledgeable but I can't get to see her except to make a physical appointment several months in advance. I am looking for another physician.
It's difficult to make an appointment sometimes BUT that is entirely because Dr. Elihu is great. She is thorough in her meetings, takes time to answer your questions and understands the value of time. I was immediately at ease when I talked about a new procedure with her and she is always willing to talk through any concerns you have. She is also the type of doctor to be direct if you are NOT taking care of yourself. She will definitely tell you, but in a very constructive way. I appreciate her level of professionalism and thoroughness.
i'm very happy with the type of service Dr. Elihu has given me.
Dr. Elihu has been my doctor for a few years now and I'm still amazed with how wonderful she is. She's thorough, patient, gentle and, most of all, listens to what I have to say or ask. She's by far the best doctor I've had.
I've been going to Dr. Elihu for years and she's a GREAT DR!
Very knowledgeble, good listener. Office called me to follow up after I had an unrelated ER visit.
Dr. Elihu is understanding, caring,and intelligent. She is the best doctor I ever had.
Always available, easy to get appointment when sick. Great Doctor and personnel.

Coretta Scott King was preparing for a career as a singer when she met the young preacher, Martin Luther King, jr. As he became a leader in the blossoming civil rights movement, Coretta Scott King was often at her husband's side in civil rights marches and demonstrations, and she often was alone with their four children as King traveled for the cause. Widowed when he was assassinated in 1968, Coretta Scott King took up the mantle of his civil rights non-violent activism and worked to keep his dream and memory alive.

Selected Coretta Scott King Quotations

Struggle is a never ending process. Freedom is never really won you earn it and win it in every generation.

Women, if the soul of the nation is to be saved, I believe that you must become its soul.

If American women would increase their voting turnout by ten percent, I think we would see an end to all of the budget cuts in programs benefiting women and children.

The greatness of a community is most accurately measured by the compassionate actions of its members, ... a heart of grace and a soul generated by love.

Hate is too great a burden to bear. It injures the hater more than it injures the hated.

There is a spirit and a need and a man at the beginning of every great human advance. Every one of these must be right for that particular moment of history, or nothing happens.

My husband was a man who hoped to be a Baptist preacher to a large, Southern, urban congregation. Instead, by the time he died in 1968, he had led millions of people into shattering forever the Southern system of segregation of the races.

In spite of Martin's being away so much, he was wonderful with his children, and they adored him. When Daddy was home it was something special.

Martin was an unusual person.... He was so alive and so much fun to be with. He had strength that he imparted to me and others that he met.

 About the Martin Luther King, jr., holiday:  Today is not merely a holiday, but a true holy day which honors the life and legacy of Martin Luther King, Junior, in the best possible way.

The more visible signs of protest are gone, but I think there is a realization that the tactics of the late-60s are not sufficient to meet the challenges of the 70s.

Segregation was wrong when it was forced by white people, and I believe it is still wrong when it is requested by black people.

Mama and Daddy King represent the best in manhood and womanhood, the best in a marriage, the kind of people we are trying to become.

I'm fulfilled in what I do... I never thought that a lot of money or fine clothes -- the finer things of life -- would make you happy. My concept of happiness is to be filled in a spiritual sense.

 About the Confederate flag: You are right that it is a hurtful, divisive symbol and I commend you for having the courage to tell it like it is at a time when too many other political leaders are equivocating on this issue.

On Lesbian and Gay Rights, On Homophobia

Lesbian and gay people are a permanent part of the American workforce, who currently have no protection from the arbitrary abuse of their rights on the job. For too long, our nation has tolerated the insidious form of discrimination against this group of Americans, who have worked as hard as any group, paid their taxes like everyone else, and yet have been denied equal protection under the law.

I believe all Americans who believe in freedom, tolerance and human rights have a responsibility to oppose bigotry and prejudice based on sexual orientation.

I still hear people say that I should not be talking about the rights of lesbian and gay people and I should stick to the issue of racial justice. But I hasten to remind them that Martin Luther King Jr. said, "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere."

I appeal to everyone who believes in Martin Luther King Jr.'s dream to make room at the table of brother- and sisterhood for lesbian and gay people.

We have to launch a national campaign against homophobia in the black community.

Homophobia is like racism and anti-Semitism and other forms of bigotry in that it seeks to dehumanize a large group of people, to deny their humanity, their dignity and personhood. This sets the stage for further repression and violence that spread all too easily to victimize the next minority group.

Gays and lesbians stood up for civil rights in Montgomery, Selma, in Albany, Ga. and St. Augustine, Fla., and many other campaigns of the Civil Rights Movement. Many of these courageous men and women were fighting for my freedom at a time when they could find few voices for their own, and I salute their contributions.

Retailing and real estate insiders are bracing for the arrival of Lowe's Cos. Inc., a U.S. home improvement powerhouse whose entry into Canada could further shake up an already competitive retail landscape.
Two consultants have been quietly talking to Canadian landlords over the past few weeks, discussing possible deals for superstore sites, and industry sources believe Lowe's, the second-largest U.S. home improvement merchant, is the prospective tenant.
Lowe's could make an announcement about its plans for Canada as early as next week, real estate sources said. A number have been told to expect an announcement on June 6. Lowe's said it does not comment on rumours, but confirmed it has a global growth strategy.
"We have said for a number of years that we are evaluating international opportunities. At some point we will be a global company," said Chris Ahearn, a spokeswoman for Lowe's in Mooresville, N.C.
The chain has been a rival to Home Depot Inc., the world's biggest home improvement retailer, which already operates in Canada.
Lowe's has ridden the wave of women's growing interest in tackling home improvement projects. With annual sales of about $36.5-billion (U.S.) and more than 1,100 stores in the United States, Lowe's courts women by pushing home decor and other related items.
It has designed its mega-outlets in a more inviting manner, with wide aisles and bright lights to ease the stresses of shopping.
In Canada, Rona Inc. of Boucherville, Que., has become a powerful contender to the No. 1 Home Depot also by catering to women's tastes. As well, Rona has grown rapidly in recent years by swallowing rivals.
Now, industry insiders suggest that Lowe's may eventually try to snap up Rona, if it hasn't already attempted such a move.
When Robert Nibock took over as chief executive officer in January, he told analysts that he was interested in international growth.
"Certainly there's a lot of opportunity on the international side, and it's something that we will, over the next year or two, be in the process of assessing," Mr. Nibock said.
Retail consultant John Williams of J.C. Williams Group Ltd., said it may be difficult for Lowe's to establish itself quickly in this country without eventually making a big acquisition.
He pointed to the huge head start of both Rona and Home Depot. "It's a very difficult market," Mr. Williams said. "Rona and Home Depot are so well positioned now . . . They're really duking it out."
Home Depot has 120 superstores here while Rona has 530 outlets of varying sizes.
Sylvain Morrissette, a spokesman for Rona, said he couldn't comment on rumours. But he insisted that Rona has developed a strong strategy to ensure its future.
Rona differs from Home Depot in that it has a wide array of store types, from uber-sized big boxes to small outlets. Lowe's may only be interested in Rona's superstores.
The rumours about Lowe's possible arrival in Canada have created a buzz in the industry. One retailing source said he had heard that Lowe's representatives have tied up as many as a dozen sites for its mega-outlets, and that is has set up a Canadian office. It is expected that the first stores will be in Southern Ontario by next year.
Real estate officials said Michael Goulais and Alan MacKenzie of M. Goulais Consultants in Toronto have been meeting with them to discuss locations for a U.S. retailer entering Canada. "They are producing letters of intent," one official said.
Reached this week, Mr. MacKenzie did not comment on whether he and his partner represent Lowe's and are trying to find store locations for the retailer.
One real estate source said Mr. MacKenzie expressed interest in some of his company's locations, and he is waiting to hear back about offers for the sites.
"We've been told it's an existing American organization that's looking for anywhere from 10 to 15 acres," the source said. "There's not that many, even in the States, American guys that take that size unit. Most of the ones that do take it are already here."
U.S. discounter Target Corp. has also been interested in coming to Canada. But Target CEO Bob Ulrich said last month [May]that it has no immediate plans to expand outside the United States.
Roger Plamondon, regional operations manager for Eastern Canada at Home Depot Canada, said he has heard the rumours about Lowe's but "for us, it's business as usual . . .
"We have been in Canada for 11 years. We are very proud of our performance in Canada. We know the Canadian marketplace very well," Mr. Plamondon said.
Lowdown on Lowe's
In 60 years, Lowe's has grown form a modest collection of North Carolina hardware stores to a megastore chain that rang up $36.5-billion (U.S.) in sales last year.
The big box
Employees: 160,000 (80 per cent of them full-time)
Outlets: 1,100 in 48 U.S. States
Typical store: 117,000 square feet of retail space, selling about 40,000 products
The foundation
Began in the mid-1940s after H. Carl Buchan bought out his brother-in-law James Lowe and rode the postwar boom with a modest chain of hardware/lumber stores. In the 1980s with the rise of do-it-yourself, it evolved into full-fledged building centres.
The design
Make old stores feel like new - spent $500-million (U.S.) last year to upgrade stores and plans to invest $700-million this year.
The big three
Lowe's three-pronged sales strategy:
1-Installations (such as cabinets and decks)
2-Special orders (up to 500,000 items, such as fashion plumbing)
3-Commercial business customers.
The nuts and bolts
Company went public in 1961.
Joined NYSE in 1979 (NYSE: LOW)
Reached billion-dollar-annual-sales mark in 1980.
Over the past 10 years, results have risen steadily - for fiscal 2004, profit reached $2.18-billion on sales of $36.5-billion, 18% better than 2003.
Average customer transaction $63.43 in 2004.
The rivals in Canada
Home Depot, the Atlanta-based chain that entered Canada 11 years ago, has 120 superstores.
Rona, based in Boucherville, Que., has 530 stores of varying sizes.

David has an inside line on the future
The narration was great the characters came alive.
Accelerando by Charles Stross, it's a strong view of a possible future.
I'm just got done re-reading David Brin's "Earth" written in 1989 after a 15 year break to see how well it holds (the Audible version with a nice short story at the end that takes place in the same universe). In some of the sub-plot lines, he talks about the leaders with Swiss bank accounts? Check A world linked by computers and camera's recording everything done by the people? Check. Ice melting? Check. Earthquakes next to the coast taking out nuclear power plant? Check. The cost of connecting to the world wide web dropping to less then the cost of gas and food? Soon. Clearly he has a good inner line on projecting what could go on in the near future, check him out of you're looking for a good read.

Six hospitalised following suspected consumption of 'designer drug' 2CB at house party
SIX people have been hospitalised in Cork following the ingestion of a designer drug.
One person is believed to be in a critical condition after taking the drug 2CB.
It is understood that more are being treated after gardai were called to a house party on the southside of the city in the early hours of this morning.
It is understood the officers found a number of people unconscious in a house and another man lying on the road.
In a statement today, the HSE said: "The HSE can confirm that the emergency services in Cork were called to a house party on the south side of the city in the early hours of Tuesday morning."
"A number of young people were admitted to Cork University Hospital following the ingestion of a psychoactive substance."
"Details in relation to the substance consumed are not yet available but it is thought to have been one of the new psychoactive substances similar to those products previously sold in 'Head-shops'."
2CB is known as an ecstasy substitute.
The drug has been described as "a scary party drug" on one respected website, but it's prevalence in Ireland is unclear.
It is said to be a long-lasting and potent drug "with powerful psychedelic effects which begin to take effect a few hours after it has been taken".
The effects of the drug can last for 10 to 20 hours.
In their statement today, the HSE said: "These drugs can be sold in tablet powder or liquid form and are consumed at parties or clubs for their stimulant, mood altering and in some cases, aphrodisiac effect. However, it is generally reported that these drugs can have serious side effects both from a psychological and physical viewpoint. Such side effects include paranoia, hallucinations (both auditory and visual), gastrointestinal effects and kidney problems."
"Young people are advised that there is no quality control on these drugs. There are problems with purity and contaminants, and there is no way of checking that what is purchased or consumed is the intended substance."
"Given the serious side-effects experienced by the young people in Cork, the HSE Addiction services are issuing a warning about possible contaminated 'party pills' and advise people to not consume any unknown substances that they are offered at this time," the statement added.
According to the website HealthStreet, users can experience a dramatic change in consciousness with auditory and visual hallucinations.
They can suffer confusion and scrambled thoughts as well as distorted sense of time.
Doctors who have treated people who took the drug have reported it causing the body to rapidly overheat.
Combined with an increased heart rate this overheating can also led to a rise in blood pressure.
Dr Greg Murphy of the Rochestown Clinic in Cork says people who take the drug can "get in to big trouble."
"There is not a lot known about it in this country but it has arrived. It is a street drug which has potent effect. It peaks after five to ten hours but it can last for up to 24 hours."
