In 1988, a frog ribonuclease (Ranpirnase, later developed under the tradename Onconase®) was discovered to be toxic to cancer cells. (1) This serendipitous discovery was a surprise to many people including Dr. Ronald T. Raines, a long time researcher of the bovine ribonuclease, Ribonuclease A or RNase A.
Dr. Raines discovered that unlike mammalian ribonucleases, the frog ribonuclease has very low binding affinity to the human ribonuclease inhibitor. Ribonuclease inhibitor is a ubiquitous protein in the cytosol of cells. The binding of the mammalian ribonucleases to ribonuclease inhibitor is depicted in the graphic below on the left.
Working with the bovine ribonuclease A, Dr. Raines discovered that he could make changes to a handful of amino acids in the structure of RNase A which would disrupt the interaction between these two proteins thereby turning a mammalian protein into a cancer drug. The graphic below shows the results of an in vitro study done against K-562 Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia cells
The graphic shows that even at high concentrations, the native RNase A does not kill K-562 cells. But by making changes to the amino acid sequence of RNase A, the RNase A variant (referred to as QBI-108) is more toxic to the leukemia cells than the frog ribonuclease Ranpirnase (labeled with a prefix of "r" because it was produced using recombinant DNA technology).
The EVade™ Ribonuclease technology is based on endowing mammalian ribonucleases with the ability to evade the human ribonuclease inhibitor. The ribonuclease inhibitor protein binds to pancreatic ribonucleases, preventing the ribonuclease from degrading RNA. Disrupting the interaction between these two proteins (Ribonuclease and Ribonuclease Inhibitor) results in degradation of RNA in cancer cells. This interrupts the flow of information from DNA to proteins and leads to cell death.
As follow-on to these discoveries, Quintessence Biosciences has developed variants of human pancreatic ribonuclease 1 that have diminished binding to the ribonuclease inhibitor and therefore, has potent anti-cancer activity. The ribonucleases created with this technology are the basis of the EVade™ Ribonuclease therapeutic program. The initial lead candidate from this program is QBI-139.
(1) Tamir Biotechnology (formerly Alfacell Corporation) has taken this frog ribonuclease into several human clinical trials, including a Phase IIIb confirmatory trial for the treatment of malignant mesothelioma.

There's no point in getting another vanity with drawers, so I'd look at pedestal sinks. There are wide-topped ones that have a good amount of space to make up for lack of counterspace. The toilet would feel less crowded. You'd have some floor space for a waste basket. I'd use a mirrored medicine cabinet, recessed if possible. You can put a shelf under the medicine cabinet, glass or otherwise. With double towel rods, you're covered for two sets of guest towels. You can put a basket on the toilet tank for TP. If that's not enough storage, you'd have to add some over the toilet. Not my favorite place for cabinets or shelves though. |
We used 19" deep vanities in all three of our bathrooms. In the guest bathroom, it was a necessity--the room is long, but narrow, so the doorway dictated how deep we could go with the vanity. The original bathroom fixtures included a 17" deep (F to B) wall hung sink--no vanity underneath. We loved the vanity's look and style so much, we decided to use smaller versions(less wide; 24" W vs. 31.5" W) for our other two bathrooms (different wood, stains, handles). We had a local guy build the vanities. They are modeled after the Sonia Europa (?) vanities. Ours are taller (36" with the sinktops; we used the Sonia sinktops for all three), which not only are more comfortable to use (less bending while washing up!), but also allowed us to maximize drawer height and open storage space. Anyway, if you use a less deep vanity (from F to B), you gain at least some space between the drawer fronts and your bathroom door. I do have to open (completely) or fully close the bathroom doors in order to fully extend the drawers, but I don't find it to be a big deal. Generally speaking, unless I am showering or using the toilet (in which case, I am usually not opening and closing drawers), I keep the bathroom door open all the way. I agree with may_flowers re: recessed medicine cabinet. We have "standard" depth Robern medicine cabinets in two of the bathrooms, and their 6" deep version in the MB--I can store a lot in that one! |

What about a vanity with drawers on the left instead of on the right? You may not be able to open the cabinet door all the way but it would open up most of the way before colliding with the door. A spacer between the vanity and the wall would also help. An offset sink would not really help the situation. If you get a vanity with drawers on the left to eliminate the drawer-door issue, a new problem arises as the sink is in front of the door and the user feels crowded. Drawers on the right puts you back in the same situation you started with. For these reasons, I think 36" vanity, centered sink, drawers on left is your best option to solve the current issues and gain as much counter space as possible. As far as vanity size, I think 36" is fine in that space. I think the mirror is throwing things off visually. Ideally, you should have a backsplash on the back of the sink (a 4" one made of the same material as the countertop is just fine). The mirror should then be slightly narrower than the sink and hung centered over the countertop. You'd be surprised the difference that can make. The 30" vanity height you have is still considered standard. 36" height (same as kitchen base cabinet height) is considered comfort height. You can definitely upgrade with your new vanity to the comfort height. Note that you may want to upgrade the toilet to comfort height as well so you don't have such a height differential between the two fixtures sitting next to each other. As far as the tub length, simply measure from wall to wall in front of the tub just enough to clear the bullnose tile & baseboard, running lengthwise. Odds are the tile, mortar and backer are making up the difference in length and you actually likely have 60" which will fit a standard tub. I'd also see about replacing the toilet paper holder with a European style one on a hinge so that the paper roll only sticks out as far as the diameter of the paper+roll. This will make the area between the vanity and the tub less crowded visually. Another option is to relocate the toilet paper holder all together to either the wall opposite the toilet or behind and to the side of the toilet--either of these options would also allow for a recessed toilet paper holder. Or you could go for a free standing one. Hope these ideas help! |

I agree with cat_mom about considering a shallower vanity if you want drawers. They're available like that from a number of different vendors, from ikea on up to duravit and suchlike, depending on your budget. I think that tub in your link is the Kohler archer? I expect it would fit, since it sounds like you have a standard alcove tub now--builder-grade usually doesn't involve odd sizes. Check the measurements the way mydreamhome suggested. |

If you are doing alterations to your bath's plumbing and electricity, for a multi-family dwelling, you will be required to use licensed professionals for that portion. The rules are different than if you owned a single family dwelling. The consequences for not doing a job correctly can me more dire for a multi-family dwelling thus the more restrictive requirements. And be SURE that you understand how to create a proper waterproof enclosure for your tub before beginning the project. There are several methods, and this is very DIYable, but you need to be sure that you fully understand them, as that's the most crucial part of the job. If this will be a guest only bath, I'd actually suggest doing a shower only rather than a tub/shower combo. Unless this is the only tub in your unit. And I agree with putting the drawers on the left of the vanity unit. That will give you the most space. Although, if a guest is using that bath, they WILL have the door closed. So, yes, for some things here, I think you are over-thinking. |
Thanks for all the great suggestions! @Green Designs- thanks for the info about the professionals. We'd probably do the work ourselves but call someone into inspect it (my husband is an electrical engineer and an amazing diy-er). Unfortunately we cannot remove the tub completely because it's the only one in the unit (master bath has a whirlpool tub and a stall shower) and as the area is mostly families, they'll need somewhere to bathe their kids. @writersblock and cat_mom - thanks for the idea about a shallower vanity- I'll have to check them out to see if I like any. Yes- thats the Kohler Archer tub. @mydreamhome- I'll have to remeasure around the tile and add some space for the wall- hopefully it'll be enough! @may_flowers - I do like the idea of a pedestal sink, I'd just be concerned with storage. Maybe a wall-mount sink with a cute storage shelf underneath? We'll see if I can sell my husband on one! I definitely like the idea of a shallower vanity too now that I've googled for them- It would definitely give me more space to open doors or drawers. I'll have to look at those when I'm out and about. IKEA definitely has some good ideas! I'll also have to look more into left-drawered vanities. The husband promises that once I'm done with my CPA exams, we can start on the bathroom- July can't come soon enough! Follow-up question: If I went with a shallower vanity, as many of them on my quick perusal are less than 36 inches wide, would I still mount it up against the back and side wall, or would I leave a gap so that it's more evenly spaced in the room? Say I get a 26 inch wide vanity, I've got an extra 11 inches of space, and I don't know if that would look weird if the vanity is up against the corner, then a foot of space between that and the toilet. |
If you do a 24" wide vanity, and butt it up against the side wall, it won't look weird at all--that's how all of ours are! That's how most are laid out with bathrooms our size (in this area at least!). You actually want that foot of space between the toilet and vanity. NKBA guidelines (and possibly code???) are to have 15" from the center of the toilet to whatever is on either side of it; be it vanity or tub/shower. We just make it (or thereabouts) in our tiny MB. We wanted to mount the tp holder on the wall between the toilet and vanity, as we did in the other two bathrooms (rather than mounting the holder on the side of the vanity), and had to bias the holder closer to the toilet, instead of centering it in the space, so we'd have enough clearance to slide a full roll of tp onto the holder. Something to keep in mind. For pics showing our vanities and layouts, I linked to my Photobucket albums below. You can find our renovated guest (downstairs) bathroom album, and before/after albums for our hall bath and MB via this link. |
Here is a link that might be useful: cat_mom's bathroom albums
If a pedestal is out because you need storage, and I think you would, then consider a shallower base, but then would the sink be too small? If you can live without drawers look for a cabinet with sliding doors. If you need drawers, put them on the left. You'd still be able to open the door on the right. What about a pocket door to the bath. Is that expensive? I don't think you gain anything with an open shelf on the bottom. The space is too small to actually see that "look", unless you're in your bedroom. I don't think you need to shrink the width because you'd lose the already limited countertop. Your friends vanity is in a tight space, but still looks great. Can't help you on how to measure for the tub, but hopefully the people at Home Depot or wherever you buy it could tell you that. Otherwise you might need a little help from some pros rather than a total DYI. |
60" tile-in alcove tubs appear to be 58-59" long when installed - you have a 60" tub now. I would keep a tub there, not a shower (you can shower in a tub, but not vice versa) unless you never use the tub. Sink cabinet, go to 18" depth and/or drawers on left, or open shelves on one or both sides. I like the Ikea cabinets too (which are often 31-1/2" wide (80cm) which adds back some of the space you lose with the shallower depth. Left-offset sink bowl may work well here, like this 36"w granite top w/offset bowl sold at Home Depot ($264) |
If you want to keep most everything the same and just alter the vanity, then I'd recommend what some of the others have written: Move the drawers to the left and the cabinet to the right. Instead of having a single cabinet door, two doors for that opening might clear the bathroom door when it is open. Though the proportions are not correct (your drawers would be wider and your doors narrower), a mirror version (drawers on left, doors on right) of this vanity is along the lines of what I was thinking of: As to a tub fitting in a space, your measurements seem fine. Typical tile is about 1/4" thick, plus 1/8" for thinset. Backer board is a half-inch thick. So the sum thickness of two typically tiled end walls would be 1-3/4" thick. 58-1/2 + 1-3/4" gives you a quarter inch of wiggle room for a 60" long tub. |
My first thought was something along these lines. I have one similar to this in my powder room. I think the open bottom visually creates more space in the room making it look less crowded. The flip down door has enough space for extra toilet paper, soap, some hand towels etc. Towels could be stored on the bottom shelf. This one is from Pottery Barn and kind of pricey, in my opinion. I bought mine from Costco a few years ago in store for considerably less, but I don't see it on their website now although I have seen it in warehouse a few times since then. PB also has it pictured on their website with a basket on the bottom to store items. The Costco one came with the basket. |

Hello, my first post also and hopefully it will give you a fresh perspective....all the responses in this thread are thinking about the vanity....what about where the door goes? I have had a challenge in my house...my den has no door frame, but through searching the web have seen this work for bathrooms. I can't explain it better than this gardenweb post. You can buy the hardware for lesss than $100, door for less than $30 and have money for a new vanity. Hope this helps! |

Many small baths have the same problem as yours with the door and the vanity. I think the pocket or sliding door is a good idea. I don't think a smaller vanity pulled away from the wall will make the room look bigger, either. Small spaces on the sides of vanities tend to be a pita to clean. You have so little counter space already, I would be hesitant to make it smaller. A shallower vanity might help, though. MIne is 19" and those extra inches make the room feel bigger. The real problem is the big mirror, which makes everything look out of balance. A vanity with a matching mirror/inset medicine chest would be ideal. |

I was thinking to suggest a pocket door as well. Alternatively, can the door swing the other way? Depending on what kind of vanity you get (such as custom or semi-custom), if you have the space, you could put some filler between the drawers and the wall so that the drawers clear the door. Then run the counter all the way to the wall still. That will make the vanity feel like it's the same size because the top still spans the space, but gives you the clearance needed between the drawers and the door. |

Climate Models and Global Climate Change (Released December 2007)
In the mid-20th century, as the idea arose that computers could perform the myriad calculations to simulate atmospheric motion, scientists attempted to apply the pre-defined laws of physics and fluid dynamics to recreate large scale atmospheric circulation. After several attempts they soon learned that the atmosphere was much more complex than their simple models could handle. They were greatly limited by computer technology and more importantly lacking in important knowledge of how climatic processes interact and how they influence climate. On one of the early forecast models, run on ENIAC (electronic numerical integrator and computer), one of the first computers, the modelers found that a two dimensional simulation with grid points 700km apart with 3 hour time steps could forecast for a 24 hour period in about 24 hours, meaning that the model was just able to keep up with the weather as opposed to creating useful forecasts days in advance. Models were indeed simple compared to today; for example, after several failed attempts to create a basic representation of large scale atmospheric flow, scientists at Princeton University's Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) created a model that incorporated large eddies, making the simulation much more representative. This experiment was deemed a major success and the model is considered the first true GCM. It showed scientists just how significant transient disturbances and smaller scale processes are in influencing the transportation of energy and momentum throughout the atmosphere.
With this success research groups around the country began to develop their own models, including at UCLA's Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) and the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), further adding to the resources attempting to accurately forecast weather and model the climate system. With a greater number of scientists working on the problem, more was learned about the climate system and progress accelerated. In addition, the rapid increase in computer technology, from the few bytes of memory the first modelers had to work with, to kilobytes, megabytes, and gigabytes, enabled the creation of much more complex models.
Even with drastic advances in technology and scientific knowledge, climatologists still have to make many compromises in terms of realistically representing the Earth. For example, until recently most models focused only on atmospheric circulation (AGCMs) whereas we now know that the oceans, cryosphere (glaciers, ice sheets, sea ice, snow cover), and land surface play extremely important roles in shaping our climate. Today, most models contain a separate or self-contained oceanic component that actively interacts with the model atmosphere. These are called Atmosphere-Ocean coupled models, or AOGCMs.
While early modelers made significant progress, the models still had problems reliably forecasting climatic trends or oscillations. Because the model resolution was extremely coarse many processes had to be parameterized. Model resolution is analogous to photographic resolution as a measure of how small you can look at details. In computer models resolution is important for small scale disturbances like thunderstorms and cyclones and also for accurate representation of the Earth. For example, in early GCMs the land surface resolution was so coarse that peninsulas and islands such as Florida and the UK did not exist and the Great Lakes were treated as land. While extremely fine resolution may be ideal, a balance must always be struck between model resolution and the computer power available. If a model takes months to run then it's not useful to modelers trying to do experiments. The computer power/resolution balance can be thought of as follows: for every doubling in spatial resolution (horizontal and vertical) there is an eightfold increase in grid points to solve for, and very often to keep the model mathematically stable the time step must be halved as well, meaning you would need 16 times more computer power just to double your model resolution.
The process whereby model resolution forces climatologists to simplify calculations is called parameterization. It is the recognition that, while we realize there is an important process here and we have an idea of its magnitude, we cannot possibly explicitly model it so we must attempt to treat it as realistically as possible. One important example of a parameterized process is convective clouds and thunderstorms. Thunderstorms, while extremely important in the atmosphere for transporting heat and water vapor, are also extremely small on the global-scale. A typical GCM grid box ranges from 100km - 300km and the typical thunderstorm is around 1km. Therefore convection must be treated in a much simpler way. While it seems unlikely and maybe unnecessary for convective clouds to ever be modeled in a GCM, parameterizations have also evolved over time and have become better at calculating the influence convection has in the atmosphere.
In the late 20th century, as models and computers became more complex and powerful, model design began to diverge into several subcategories focusing on different aspects of weather and climate, including Numerical Weather Prediction models (NWP), regional scale models, and mesoscale models. These models all differ from GCMs in that they focus on different aspects of the atmosphere. For instance, NWP models use a much smaller horizontal scale--the North American continent for example--and attempt to forecast small changes in weather over short periods of time (a few hours or days). These differ from GCMs in that they are highly sensitive to initial conditions, where meteorological data fed into the model have a dramatic influence on the output. These models deal with what is called the "initial value" problem in that, given meteorological data, the simulation will diverge from reality over time. Climate models are less dependent upon initial conditions and instead must deal with the "boundary value" problem. This occurs where, once the general circulation of the atmosphere has been established, it is difficult to create realistic climatic disturbances such as interannual oscillations (ENSO, PDO, NAO) or climatic trends caused by external forces.
Slowly but surely models have been developed, refined, and tested against real-world situations, to the point that in the 1990s many scientists say the modern GCM was established. While some model weaknesses persist in that they may have biases with parameters, such as too much rain in a region or too warm in another, atmospheric scientists have been able to include more and more climatic processes and better simulate the climate as we learn more about our environment and the importance of the terms in the equations.

silver standard
silver standard
nounDefinition of SILVER STANDARD
First Known Use of SILVER STANDARD
silver standard
noun (Concise Encyclopedia)Monetary standard under which the basic unit of currency is defined as a stated quantity of silver. It is usually characterized by the coinage and circulation of silver, unrestricted convertibility of other money into silver, and the free import and export of silver for the settlement of international obligations. No country now operates under a silver standard. In the 1870s most European countries adopted the gold standard, and by the early 1900s only China, Mexico, and a few small countries still used the silver standard. In 1873 the U.S. Treasury stopped coining silver, which led to the Free Silver Movement, but the defeat of William Jennings Bryan ended agitation for free silver in the U.S. See also bimetallism.

Vegetation on a Non-capped Landfill in the Oak Openings Region
Kris Barnswell
Ph.D Student
Myresearch interests center on remediation and restoration of highly disturbed areas by natural processes. I am primarily interested in the vegetation that naturally develops on these contaminated and nutrient deficient areas and its return to a stable ecosystem. I am also interested in the performance of constructed wetlands in decontaminating polluted waters and applying this knowledge to the environment.

Is anybody else from this forum going to be at the meeting? |
Follow-Up Postings:
cool idea -- a roll call of GW Coneheads! I'll be there. Looking forward to it. How about writing our GW pseudonyms on our name tags? Dave |

I plan on making at least part of this meeting. I was going to try and latch myself to Bob Fincham, but my firehouse crew and I have a week of water-sports in E. Washington before the meeting so I will have to show mid-meeting. Cya all there. -Will(the largest/bald guy at the meeting?) |
Considering the context, wouldn't that be budding or grafting rather than latching? |

Apple's "disappointing" quarter cause for questions, not panic

There was once a dream of Us. It was a good dream.
While it lasted..
Just Us Two - 08/07/07 to 02/21/12
Then officially dumped through the 27th-29th.
You are the first person I ever allowed in the deepest, darkest crevices of my heart. You're the first and ONLY one that I even considered, because not only was it because of love, but because I had never even THOUGHT of sharing my entire childhood, my existence, every part of my being, with someone.. but You're the first and ONLY that I wanted to experience everything that I had ever witnessed, experienced, on my own. I'm in the same goddamn house I've been in since I could speak, and I wanted to show You all of this. What I did in every corner, what every room probably has to say about me.
"If these walls could speak" goes the saying. I know I'm a dreamer, and actions speak louder than words. But I never gave up on Our mission, I never gave up on Our quest. I would wonder every god forsaken day why I wasn't the same person I was in the beginning. I honestly believe I was the same, just that.. initiative, that drive, the energy I had was gone. Everytime I was separated from You killed me more and more. Everytime I saw You be driven away in that Blazer, was just another stab to my chest. I wondered constantly when I'd see You, if You still felt the same, would You still feel the same.
I was the foundation that We built Our house on, in the beginning. I slowly lost that strength and then You became the foundation. You kept Us BOTH up, and for the longest. You didn't have to and You shouldn't have had to hold that heavy responsibility. It was my job. I knew how strong I COULD be, but I let myself be consumed by basically any little minute thing that could possibly affect my endeavors, or even make me contemplate the idea of Us failing.
I never meant to allow myself to be such a goddamn wuss. Never even thought I would be such a big one. You have no idea the affect You had on me.. if it was You in control, with the power, like me.. I would have waited forever.. Thats not a guilt trip, I'm being truthful because hey, look at me.. I'm still here aren't I? Even after all this.... ALLL THIS...
I cannot fathom a future without You.. and I refuse to accept that life is a bitch sometimes and that I should just roll with the punches. Call me stubborn, call me a fucking waste. I still don't care. I'm going to wait, and I'm going to love You.
C'est la vie.
/EDIT, Wanna know what's funny Duckee..? If You get over me.. and end up happy, or happier.. then k..
You stare at me like I'm a vitamin
On the surface You hate,
but You know You need me.
I'll come dressed as any pill You deem fit.
Whatever helps You swallow truth
all the more easily.
If I had a dime for every time You walked away,
I could afford to not give a shit
and buy a drink and drown the day
But Your pockets, they are empty,
yeh, and mine are times two
So why not make an about-face,
and accept the love I send to You?
You're never gonna be content if You don't try,
try to see outside Your line.
There You go, You did it again!
You act as if there's blinders on Your eyes.
Should I apologize if what I say burns Your ears and stains
Your eyes?!
Oh, did I crack Your shell?
When it falls away, You'll see We exist as well!
Like a bottle with the cork stuck,
Your true ingredients trapped inside.
Through the cloudy glass we catch a glimpse of You,
I guess the hard shell represents Your pride.
Oh, if only it could be different
we could uncover the You, You deny.
Between Two, a small discrepancy,
one complicates and one simplifies.
So if I had a dime for every time You walked away,
You could bet Your bottom dollar that
I'd be filthy rich by noon today
03/04/12-edit- im only putting this here incase You notice it.. my parents just got back from a relatives party, the father of one of my cousins, him though not being the related one, just only by the marriage.. but he turned 60, not that it matters.. but my parents just got home and my dad handed me a treat i guess that everyone received at the get together.. a pack of "mymms", the kind that are personalized..
i didnt notice at first, just the colors and just what they looked like, and that bothered me enough, but somehow i turned back around and looked to see if they were what i thought they are.. mymms.. and a couple years ago, when i first saw that "mymms" commercial, i had to get You some.. just a bunch that said "i love You", or something personal like all the sayings and words We had.. but i never did because i didn't have a credit card.. i don't remember now for sure, but i knew i had a good reason why i didnt.. wasn't because i forgot.. it had to be because i was broke.. i couldn't even order them.. and its not like if i did get them, that We'd eat them together, because i knew We probably couldnt.. We would've probably kept them as a memoir, some sentimental souvenir that We'd keep on some mantle piece.. in a glass cup, or in the original packaging.. with all Our words, saying, "love you"s on them still..
it just hurts so much that im seeing so many signs after all this has happened, seeing things, being told things about people that didn't even want me around You that now suddenly ask where i am, because they liked me..
nobody on here truly understands how We were together.. how deliriously happy You were.. how You'd smile at me.. how We'd giggle for nothing just because staring at each other was so much fun... how just the word "hi.." from You would crush me down to nothing then suddenly spring me back up like i was reborn... im sighing as i type this because thinking about it gives me strength again..
i hope to God, even though We don't believe in Him, that You come around.. i want to say "love is love", but no.. everyone has their own type, kind of "love".. and Ours will never be repeated unless We're together.. Ours will never be replicated..
the words.. the looks.. the sayings.. the jokes.. We handed each other Our lives on silver platters.. then We didn't even settle for that, We settled for melting them both together.. to have one life..
Two minds.. but one heart...
</3.............................................................Feb 27th - 29th 2012.............
August 7th, 2007
5 years.......
ill sit here and wait for You.....a promise is a promise..........iloveYou.....
Dec 5 2010
im sorry i ruined Your life..i know im not healthy for You, things have changed, tones, expectations.. my hopes were so high for everything before... i ruined all of that, im not even the same person anymore.. i feel like im just a chore anymore, a reason for You to roll Your eyes, thinking "here we go again", or "great, hes back"..
i was convinced i was the best thing for You, and after i left and flew back down, everything that could go wrong, went wrong.. i dont even think the same anymore.. i used to be positive.. now everything i do or see has an inevitable downfall to it.. like something is broken before i even get a chance to fix it, or do it..
i know You're tired of me being that way, the sun might be shining here where i am, but i never feel it.. i remember feeling it on the trail, i felt it when we saw that quarter stuck to the cement on that bench near where the foliage opened up to let Us see the river clearly.. We sat on it, i held You, the bench was really warm from the sun shining on it..
Went for a walk.. stopped by the lake and just.. walked near this portion that I hadnt been by in a while, even though its right there.. just.. a different view, how the sun reflected on the water.. diamonds.. blue sky, ducks, birds.. green grass.. then the big tree behind me, I noticed carvings that must be even older than me.. hearts with names, names with other names.. probably first loves, first kisses, who knows.. made me think of this song because I didn't feel right being in that spot by myself, seeing how pretty and calm everything was.. without You, so I left and walked back
I dig my toes into the sand
The ocean looks like a thousand diamonds
Strewn across a blue blanket
I lean against the wind
Pretend that I am weightless
And in this moment I am happy, happy
I wish You were here
I lay my head onto the sand
The sky resembles a back lit canopy
With holes punched in it
I'm counting UFOs
I signal them with my lighter
And in this moment I am happy, happy
I wish You were here
The world's a rollercoaster
And I am not strapped in
Maybe I should hold with care
But my hands are busy in the air
I alone love You
I alone tempt You
I alone love You
fear is not the end of this!
From the moment we are born, we begin to die.

9/11 Truthers' event follows tribunal victory
For 9/11 truth seekers across the continent, all roads lead to Vancouver in June. That's when the city will host a three-day gathering of activists who question the American government's account of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in the U.S.
Darren Pearson, an organizer of the Vancouver 9/11 Truth Society, is thrilled. That's because the event follows on the heels of a symbolic decision rendered on May 11 of this year by an international people's tribunal sponsored by the Kuala Lumpur Foundation to Criminalise War, a private organization founded by former Malaysian prime minister Mahathir Mohamad. A panel of judges issued a verdict declaring ex–U.S. president George W. Bush and seven members of his administration, including former vice president Dick Cheney and ex–defence secretary Donald Rumsfeld, guilty of torture and war crimes in the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan.
"That's big news in my world," Pearson told the Straight in a phone interview. "That's a great achievement, even though we know that nobody went to jail yet. It's a long ways from that. But that's still an important step."
American lawyer Alfred Webre, who was a judge in the Kuala Lumpur proceedings, is coming to Vancouver for the event. Webre will help evaluate information presented by speakers at the so-called Vancouver Hearings, which will be held at Denman Cinemas June 15 to 17.
Open Invitation to the 9/11 Truth Community,
Join us at The Vancouver Hearings
The Denman Theatre
15-17 June 2012
One indisputable fact: there is no possible way the airplane they say hit the pentagon made a hole significantly smaller than the body of the airplane. It is just not possible. Even if the plan had no wings on impact, the hole should have been twice as big. That alone is more than proof enough that they are lying, so what else are they lying about?
forensic evidence-void, caveman -kamakazzi OFFICIAL 9/11 theory....
There are thousands of:political, intelligence, military insiders; international MPs, U.S. senators/congressmen, architects and engineers, scholars, firefighters, scientists etc...
see: www.patriotsquestion911.org
All it takes is for one seemingly minor detail around the narrative to be true, am I right? Can someone tell me: what is the single most compelling, irrefutable detail the 9/11 truth movement has to offer? Where is the smoking pistol? One would think that with all the theorizing and debunking that's gone on over the past 12 yeas, at least one thing would emerge that does not lend itself to opinion or debate. Some of the most eye-popping things in "Loose Change" have been essentially disproven, but I'd bet some stubborn fact still remains.
James "the driver shot Kennedy" Fetzer is a fraud and a charlatan and I am disgusted he is invited to Vancouver to use our city as a platform to spew his disinformation.
Guys like him are the greatest threat to 9/11 Truth and are responsible for putting the subject of 9/11 into the kook cabinet which in turn makes sites like Avaaz not even touch the subject.
If anyone is interested in REAL 9/11 information I would checkout a film on VIMEO called '9/11 and the Cover Up' by Ryan Dawson.
The film is filled with new information that you've probably never seen yet including who had access to the elevator shafts for the entire month before 9/11 and the film names actual perpetrators instead of "NWO" or "Illuminati" etc..
Hands down the best film on 9/11 period.
What lunacy.
I have to agree that building 7 is indeed the most compelling aspect that I've seen (though I've not exactly made a study of any of this). I do know that many people feel that the way the twin towers collapsed raises suspicions, but for a 3rd tower to go down the same way, the same day? Well, it does strain credulity doesn't it?
Architects and Engineers For 9/11 Truth has already shown that the NIST Report was a transparent cover-up. They have a new documentary: "9/11: Explosive Evidence – Experts Speak Out,Final Edition"
I don't know whether high energy weapons were also used that day too, but something burnt up cars and tires and left plastic upholstery intact, while untouched papers littered the same street.
It should be an interesting conference.
How about this one from a slightly different angle. If you compare the two angles, you DON'T see what appears to be a sequenced column of demolition charges going off?
It is an interesting exercise to calculate mathematical probabilities of so-called "conspiracy theories". The mainstream media and their cadre of online gatekeepers use the term "Conspiracy Theorist" (CT) as a derogatory label for those who seek the truth. According to the media, there are never conspiracies. But they avoid factual discussions based on the scientific evidence.
These myths are promoted non-stop in the mainstream media.
- Oswald acted alone in 1963 – with a magic bullet and defective rifle.
- Bush won Florida in 2000 and had a 3 million "mandate" in 2004.
- Nineteen Muslims armed with box cutters who could not fly a Cessna, hijacked four airliners and outfoxed the entire U.S. defense establishment – while Bin Laden was on dialysis, near death and hiding in caves.
But the media can't refute the mathematics that proves beyond a reasonable doubt that there is a massive conspiracy to hide the truth of these events from the public.
9-11 was a false flag to go to war in the Middle East with the intent of making BILLIONS and TRILLIONS from the various wars. It's all about the money, folks.
I could type all day but if an adult hasn't figured out that something fishy is going on, then they are a lost cause and the dumbing down of the sheeple is complete.

8 Powerful Ways to Use Facebook Landing Tabs
Are you looking to turn more Facebook lurkers into fans of your page? There's no better way to do this than with a custom Facebook landing tab.
As interest in Facebook marketing increases, marketers are looking for new ways to improve their technique.
If you're a regular reader of Social Media Examiner and also visit our Facebook Page then you've already heard about creating custom tabs using Facebook's Static FBML for engaging first-time Facebook visitors.
Here are eight different ways businesses are using landing tabs on Facebook.
#1: Ask Your Visitors to Like Your Page
Your landing tab is a great place to ask first-time visitors to "Like" your page and grow your Facebook community, just as Apryl Parcher does here.
#2: Give Multiple Invitations for Engagement
Have a look at all of the different ways Starwood Preferred Guest incites visitors to interact with them on their Facebook page. This is an example of some great landing page marketing techniques. Three things stand out:
- Long tab. A long tab where new visitors have to scroll down several screens to see everything is not always a good choice, but it can work for some businesses.
- Multiple opportunities to engage visitors. There's a poll, a game, an invitation to share photos and three other ways to engage with Starwood.
- Geo-targeting. It's interesting to note that Starwood Preferred Guest uses Buddy Media's new Platform +GLOBAL application where visitors "are served a customized page based on the language and country settings within their Facebook profile." The customization obviously also uses the IP address, because I'm based in France and as you can see below, the "Like" button is in French even though my Facebook preferences specify English.
#3: Provide Multiple Doors to Begin Interaction
Here's another interesting way to maximize your landing tab. The Facebook application TabSite allows you to make a separate navigation bar within a Facebook tab you create using Static FBML.
See below how Digital Hill Multimedia uses their new tab setting.
It's interesting to note the choices Digital Hill Multimedia made when selecting what to put on their main Facebook navigation bar compared to what's in this secondary navigation bar created with TabSite.
#4: Use Current Events
The Volkswagen Facebook page used promotional videos related to the recent World Cup. Combining promotional materials with current events is a marketing tactic that can work well on your landing tab too.
#5: Link to Custom Applications
Starbucks has a link on their landing tab that launches an application to manage your Starbucks account.
#6: Get Straight to the Point
Best Buy sends new visitors to a "Shop & Share" tab where they make it easy to access different categories of their shopping application.
#7: Make Interaction Easy and Fun
Cintas Corporation invites all new visitors to tell them about their tough job and send in photos to win prizes.
#8: Use the "Boxes" Tab
UPDATE SINCE PUBLICATION: Facebook is likely to phase out the boxes tab down the road, so we advise you transition over to creating a custom tab using Static FBML.
Prior to creating their landing tab above, Cintas Corporation directed all of their new visitors to their "Boxes" tab. If you find it challenging to set up a specific Facebook tab using the Static FBML application, this may be the solution for you. Facebook pages come with a "Boxes" tab and they are easy to use.
It's interesting to compare this long Cintas Corporation tab created in a "Boxes" tab with the long Starwood Preferred Guest "Explore SPG" tab created in FBML above.
Want To See More?
Here are a few more Facebook pages with interesting landing tabs.
- Threadless is a great example of how to use the "Like" button on a tab.
- Revision Eyewear has a presentation of their products made in Flash.
- Harley Davidson has a variety of links on their landing tab pointing back to their own website.
- Social Media Examiner uses a "landing" video.
- 1-800-Flowers has a clear call to action.
What do you think about custom landing tabs? Please share the links above and tell us what you like most about them. Leave your comments in the box below.

The minutes of the last meeting were given by Joan Steward, secretary, and Cynthia Humes, treasurer, gave the financial report. Blair conducted the business meeting and discussed the end-of-year activities.
The hostess gave a very informative program titled "Fly Butterflies." Westfield began with a butterfly quiz handout which each member was asked to complete. Sheryl Gash answered the most questions and was presented a butterfly pendant.
Second to bees, butterflies are the most important pollinators for our food supply. Butterflies and moths are unique insects. They range in size from 1/8th-inch to almost 12 inches. The largest butterfly is the Queen Alexandra Birdwing with a wingspan of 12.5 inches and the smallest is the Western Pygmy Blue with a wingspan of just 0.62 inches. Butterflies see colors and are drawn to certain color flowers in gardens, such as red, green, yellow and purple.
Some butterflies are able to fly at top speed of 12 mph, but cannot fly if their body temperature is less than 86 degrees. They live an average of two to four weeks. A swallowtail butterfly lives an average of six to 14 days while a Monarch lives seven to nine months. The Mourning Cloak is believed to live the longest period of time, which is 11 months.
There are about 24,000 species of butterflies and 140,000 species of moth. In Bradley County, there are 78 butterfly and moth species verified for this region. The zebra swallowtail was designated as Tennessee's Official Butterfly in 1995. Westfield said that if you wanted to see more butterflies in your garden, you should plant a butterfly garden and provide handouts on how to create a garden. In addition she provided a series of devotions on butterflies for your meditation time.
Butterflies are mesmerizing and captivate us with their beauty. She told us that when you think about the butterfly, remember that God has transformed each of us into unique, beautiful creatures.
Westfield provided other handouts, including The Tennessee Conservationist September/October 2012 issue, and a Region List of Butterflies identified for Bradley County.
Thanks was given to the hostess by Lelia Ware. Others in attendance were Barbara Brown, Kay Cox, Dorothy Keith, Margenia McKissic and Charlotte Scott.

We want to update the laundry room. I appreciate any imput you might have. Right now, we only have the W/D and a wire shelf (6' wide x 12" deep) with a built in rod. We sort and fold the clothes over the dryer and also place some pieces in hangers, then temporarily on the rod and when we are done take everything to closets. We keek one or 2 of my husband's jackets on the rod, most of the year. We also have a 24" wide base cabinet on the side with a sink. We want to buy a new set of FL W/D (see link) if you have a better option, please let me know. These are my options: The top one shows the widest counter at 40" H (a bit high but we are tall) and side by side w/d. They do not have tall base cabinets so I will need to place it higher and cover the bottom space with a baseboard or live an open space on top (with a cap) The second shows stacked w/d and the counter is at standard 36" H. I could have an open area in the base cabinet (for baskets and other things) or all doors.
The third option shows a utility cabinet and a 40" High counter. I could skip the counter and use the top of the w/d or buy a worksurface (the one that they sell with the W/D. I am not too trilled on installing a rod. I guess I could always use a foldable hanger holder (or a "valet" rod) on the wall. All the counters will be 30" deep. Thanks you for taking a look at this! |
Here is a link that might be useful: the W/D we want to buy
Follow-Up Postings:
As you have them, I prefer option 3 ,,, with option 1 coming in a very distant second and I would omit option 2 (that one doesn't work for me at all). I would definitely put in a counter top, regardless of the option. My issue with option 1 (and to a lesser extent 3), is the lack of space between the top of the counter and bottom of the upper cabinet. For me, a little more than 1 ft is not enough space for that area to be functional. I'd shift the cabinets higher (since you have 2 feet of unused space up above). At least, in option 3 you can set a laundry basket in the middle and have it be accessible. But even my smallest laundry basket wouldn't fit in the space between the upper cabinets and the w/d. Even if you don't use laundry baskets, I don't think there is enough space for that area to be functional for say piling a stack of clothes and folding them. Even if you air fold directly out of the dryer and just stack on the counter, 13" or 14" is not a lot of space. I would shift up the upper cabinets (and use a step stool to access them) as this would provide me with more counter area, but that's just me. I have a rod over my W/D too, but I don't use it. Because anything hanging on it would be in the way, as I also prefer to use the space over my W/D to fold. I use a valet bar on the wall opposite the W/D, so anything hanging is out of my way. A suggestion, it might sound silly, but you might want to use tape and cardboard boxes (or whatever) to mock up your proposed plan in your existing space to see if it'll work for you. Good luck!! |

jlt37869, Thank you! I can raise the cabinets by 6" but remember that the counter is actually going to be minimum 30" deep, maybe 32" so the wall cabinet will be more to the back than standard kitchen cabinets with 24" counters but you have a good point about the baskets, I will measure mine. The space between wall cabinet and countertop is the same in option 1 and 3 - I just noticed that I forgot to delete the 2" dimension and align the dimension to the counter line when I did the drawing in AutoCAD. I possibly will end up using a short (maybe 18" tall) open cabinet where I have the rod and use a valet rod as you do. |

I also vote for #3 and I agree with jlt37869, your upper cabs should be placed higher. Also, I would take the cabinets as high as they'll go and then crown it to the ceiling. The amount of dust that's created in a laundry room is incredible. In my last house, I'd climb up on my counter every few months to dust on top of the cabinets. It was gross! In my new house, we've designed it as I suggested. One thing that I noticed is that there isn't a sink here. Do you feel it's unnecessary in the way you do laundry or did you just forget to draw it in? As a side note, I saw a similar set-up as option 2 at Home Depot last week. I liked it. A few small differences though -- they had a sink and lower cabinet door under the hanging rod, beside the lower cabinet they had 3 drawers, and the stacked washer/dryer had a valance over it so it looked more like a built-in. However, I also noticed that there wasn't a lot of counter space -- which for me is a deal-breaker. Best of luck and I hope whatever option you choose improves your life. |
- Posted by kris_zone6 (My Page) on Wed, Mar 16, 11 at 22:43
Instead of a counter I have this work surface over my washer & dryer. This makes it easier to access the back of the machines. The raised back keeps stuff from falling back behind. |

Note: For readers not familiar with the concept of our "Melmania" section, this is where your editor can take any subject and develop arguments regarding some ultimate conclusions. Since some of those conclusions might sound extremely radical, the name of "Melmania" seems appropriate.
Few topics have generated the intense interest over the past five years as has real estate, particularly rising residential values. Millions upon millions of words have been written under three general headings:
The enormous growth in prices for homes in various parts of the United States and Canada (and other parts of the world as well)
The staggering additional increments of money taken from those rising values which have had such a positive impact on consumer-driven economies.
Now, more recently, the likelihood of an important reversal in residential real estate prices which would negate many of the benefits which have accrued in the past few years.
Many economists, most particularly those employed by or associated with the real estate profession, have been offering reassurances that, if there is a reversal at all, it will be short lived and followed by a resumption of rising home values, albeit perhaps at a more modest rate than was seen from 2001 through mid-2006. In effect, a "Soft Landing." Other analysts, your editor included, suspect otherwise. We suspect that the reversal will not be quick, but longer-lasting, and the damage done to residential real estate prices will be much more severe than many suspect. One of our friends and long-term readers was kind enough to forward an article from the Sacramento Bee which provides substantial information in support of our position. The article informs us that Sacramento has suffered, "...the most dramatic rise in home foreclosures since the 1990s during the fourth quarter of 2006..." And the rate is rising rapidly as we are also informed that, "...865 capital-area homeowners surrendered their houses to the bank in October, November and December - nearly double the region's 450 third-quarter foreclosures." As a comparison, the 865 fourth quarter foreclosures compared to only 63 the same time last year. There was another piece of information in the article that has particularly ominous implications and read, "...More ominous, the number of people who receive such (foreclosure) notices and then lose their homes to banks reached 32% in the fourth quarter. That's up from 8% the same time in 2005." As I wrote my friend, "Back when I was in that business (mortgage lending), when we sent out our first notice of foreclosure, most homeowners would find a way to scrape up their deficiency and keep their homes. However, today that is obviously not the case. A multitude of homeowners are buried in debt so deeply that without huge and rapid increases in home values - which, in my opinion, are NOT going to happen for some long time - they are doomed to lose their homes, which will collectively further exacerbate the situation. I truly believe, as the famous song would put it, "We've only just begun..." That's still the way we see it. Millions of homeowners purchased property knowing in advance that they could not meet the monthly mortgage payments, but believed they could hang on long enough for rapidly rising prices to rescue their situation and enable them to actually make a huge net profit. That isn't happening, and the reality that they may actually have to pay for their homes is just beginning to dawn on them. One can only speculate on how many will eventually default. Our best guess is that the number to be huge.

I think it'll be interesting to see the developments in wireless network technology over the coming generations. With the end of our last century, we saw so many advancements in wireless technology that is absolutely bewildering. The days of actors on Star Trek pressing a button on their chest to communicate wirelessly over hundreds of miles is no longer fantasy. We now use Bluetooth earpieces to communicate via tiny devices that would seem bewildering to our previous generations.
Honestly, it makes me wonder what other types of advancements in breakthroughs we can actually achieve now that we have wireless communication. There is no doubt that we have a need for higher bandwidth rates on our wireless communication networks, but I wonder if there is actually any way to advance the technology beyond just making it faster. Will there ever be another breakthrough in the way that we use radio waves to communicate?
At some point in time I wonder if the limitations of our physical world will ever stop us from developing new technology in the constant battle to make wireless communication more efficient. I hope that day never comes, but once we harness the technology to communicate instantly with no lag time or delay of any kind, I think we would've achieved that main goal.

See: Aerial Venice - Index of Locations
The Ponte dell'Accademia, or Accademia Bridge, crosses the Grand Canal between the sestieri of Dorsoduro and San Marco. It's a key link in the main pedestrian route from the Piazzale Roma (where buses and taxis bring passengers to edge of the historic center) and the tourist area around the Piazza San Marco.
In the top aerial photo, you can see:
The final curve of the Grand Canal where it feeds into St. Mark's Basin.
The Accademia Bridge itself, which is the grey line across the canal right above the word "Accademia." Just above it is the Campo San Stefano, the second-largest square in the sestiere or district of San Marco.
The tip of Dorsoduro (just to the right of the Santa Maria della Salute church), with its historic Dogana di Mare customs house.
The Piazza San Marco and Piazzetta in the upper right corner of the photo.
The lower photo zeroes in on the bridge and its immediate surroundings. Look for:
The wooden Ponte dell'Accademia, which was built in 1932 as a temporary bridge (replacing a steel bridge from 1854).
The Accademia Gallery, an important art museum just to the left of the bridge.
Floating platforms of the Accademia vaporetto station, where the No. 1 water bus stops as it zigzags up and down the Grand Canal on its way from the Piazzale Roma and the Santa Lucia Railroad Station to the Piazza San Marco and the Lido di Venezia.
Tip: You'll find a public lavatory beneath the left stairway from the bridge, just across from the Accademia Gallery.

Wild organic oregano oil
Organic wild oregano oil grown high in the mountains of the Mediterranean
The ancient Oil of Oregano is a known powerful natural anti-biotic, anti-viral, anti-fungal, and anti-oxidant rolled into one. It effectively eliminates illness-causing microorganisms within the body, thereby, reducing inflammation and relieving chronic pain. Found to contain very high levels of flavonoids and phenolic acids, it is a powerful anti-oxidant that kills free radicals in the body. The antibiotic factor in oil oregano even makes it an excellent alternative to flu vaccine. It has proven, time and again, to be beneficial to a long list of ailments from respiratory infection to digestive and skin disorders, among others. This website hopes to disseminate as much reliable and well-researched information as it can get, to inform and educate the consumers on the wonders of wild organic oregano oil.
Oil of Oregano vs. Synthetic Antibiotic
The problem with our medical world today is that it has evolved to being synthetic-drug dependent. The use of medicine is mostly focused on synthetic pharmaceutical drugs and little do they know that its continued use can be more detrimental rather than helpful in curing an ailment. Synthetic antibiotics that are prescribed by medical practitioners randomly eliminate not only the bad bacteria but also the good bacteria that are essential for a healthy and normal body function. With its repeated or over use, it opens the door for bacteria to turn into superbugs and in the long run become resistant to antibiotics. On the other hand, wild organic oregano oil is a pure, natural antiviral, antifungal, antibiotic, and anti-oxidant that is loaded with a variety of minerals, vitamins and nutrients. It effectively targets and kills several kinds of pathogens that it comes in contact with. It is a powerful anti-oxidant that builds the bodys immune system and wards off infectious diseases from entering the body system. In several studies conducted, the surprising outcome was that natural oil of oregano can be a suitable alternative to harmful pharmaceuticals that create bugs. Oil Oregano can be used without any doctors prescription. It has no known side effects, and cost a lot less than synthetic pharmaceutical antibiotics.
The Power Element
One of the elements found in wild organic oregano oil is carvacrol. This colourless, strong smelling element, present in wild organic oregano oil, shows exemplary anti-microbial properties and prevents the growth of damaging microorganisms. It targets the following particular types of detrimental fungi, moulds, bacteria and yeast: Bacillus Cereus, Proteus, Listeria monocytogenes, Streptococcus pneumonia, Salmonella Enterica, Candida Albicans, Cryptococcus neoformans, Staphylococcus aureus, and E.Coli growth. Moreover, it also suppresses the pain and inflammation element called the COX-2. Countless studies, experiments and tests conducted proved the efficacy of the natural and pure carvacrol, working together with the other elements. Thymol is as an effective killer of parasites, bacteria, viruses and fungi. Terpenes, on the other hand, have antiviral, antiseptic, anaesthetic and anti-inflammatory properties. Two alcohols found in oil of oregano are bonreol and linalool, and they also lend antiseptic and anti-viral qualities to oil oregano, making it all the more potent. In various tests done at universities, it was found out that carvacrol was more effective than well-known antibiotics, such as the streptomycin and penicillin. Even the strength of Vancomycin, the most potent of antibiotics, proved to be no match for carvacrol. This goes to show that the natural ingredient in oregano oil is just as effective, if not more effective, than prescribed pharmaceutical drugs. There are no known harmful side effects and superbugs do not become resistant to it.
A Variety of Benefits
While wild organic oregano oil is known as a potent microbe-killer, it is also helpful with the following conditions. Digestive problems help with food poisoning and stomach ulcers by eliminating pylori bacterium and reducing acidity. It eases digestion, cleanses the colon, and invigorates bile into the digestive system. The active elements in oil of oregano also kill parasites inside the intestines, such as roundworms, pinworms, hookworms and tapeworms.
Fungal and Parasitic Infections due to its anaesthetic, anti-fungal and anti-parasitic properties, oil oregano works well with athletes foot, nail fungal infection, head lice, scabies, Candida, rosacea, acne, eczema, removal of freckles, rashes, and other skin and yeast infections.
Common Viral Infections Colds, pharyngitis, cough, flu, Herpes, warts, insect bites, and other skin allergies can be totally eliminated or their duration shortened with the use of oil oregano. It is also helpful for other respiratory infections such as sinusitis, asthma, and bronchitis.
Cell Deterioration Its anti-oxidant property slows down the deterioration of cells thus it also slows down the aging process. The rosmarinic acid, which is present in oil of oregano, and considered more potent than Vitamin E, prevents cancer and muscle and eye degeneration. It is also helpful with various disorders of the nervous system.
Oil Oregano is also helpful in the management of irregular menstruation and menopause in women. It is known to stop growth of tumour in womens reproductive organ.
Generally, the wild organic oregano oil exhibits effectiveness on other ailments such as bladder and kidney infections, colitis, measles, mumps, chicken pox, gum and tooth diseases, bed sores, venomous bites, burns, arthritis/joint inflammation, chronic fatigue, spinal infections, prostate problems, and open wounds and cuts.
An Ancient Remedy
Aeons ago, people have relied on the use of oil oregano to relieve their illnesses. The Babylonians used it to treat their heart and lung diseases. It was also considered by the ancient Greeks as a cure for trauma, headache, seizures, venomous bites, infection and wounds. Back in the 17th century, the British considered it the perfect treatment for cold. The Islamic were then using it to preserve food and as an anti-microbial. In a book written in the 1600s entitled Salmons Herbal, it tells of the many health benefits of oil oregano on the female reproductive organs, lungs, liver and digestive issues. A 17th century British herbalist, Gerard, chronicled oil oregano as an effective aid for digestive ailments and colds. In the Garden of Health (1633), William Langham wrote of the broader range of the oil oreganos uses. He includes heart failure, bleeding, skin diseases, stomach ache, mouth/gum pain, toothache, and intestinal parasites to benefit highly from oil oregano.
The Best Wild-Crafted Oregano
Wild oregano plant has two varieties namely, Origanum Vulgare and Thymus Capitatus. They are grown high up in the remote mountains of the Mediterranean, and are used in the production of wild organic oregano oil. Its leaves are carefully plucked when its essential oil is at its highest. It is grown wild so it does not contain any contaminants such as pesticides, herbicides, and chemical fertilizers. It is naturally distilled with no alcohol and chemical utilized during the extraction process, making it the purest wild oregano oil. The production of wild organic oregano oil is costly and complicated. Generally, it takes about 200 pounds of wild oregano to produce 2 pounds of oil.
It can be applied topically or taken internally. It is potent and is not recommended to be taken orally. The stomach might not be able to take it. However, if one decides to take it orally, it is at their risk. It is best to seek the advice of a medical practitioner before taking oil oregano internally. Pregnant or lactating women are also advised not to use it, whether externally or internally.
For external use in gums, teeth, or any part of the infected body, rub the body or the affected area with the oil oregano. For delicate parts of the body, such as the genital area, apply carefully as it can be quite strong and one may experience a burning and tingling sensation. Continue to dilute in olive or any carrier oil, until it feels just right.
The unparalleled, natural wild organic oregano oil contains 80% carvacrol and is available in 10 ml and 30 ml bottles at www.oiloregano.co.uk.
Oregano oil can be used for a multitude of conditions and diseases such as:
Candida Infections · Acne Pimples & Ingrown Hairs · Psoriasis & Eczema* · Dandruff* · Fingernail & Toenail Fungus ·Warts (hands & feet) · Athlete's Foot · Jock Itch · Colds & Flus · Sore Throat · Respiratory Infections · Sinusitis · Pneumonia · Chronic Bronchitis · Allergies · Tonsillitis & Laryngitis · Ear Infections · Arthritis* · Infected Cuts, Wounds & Burns · Animal Bites · Tooth infections · Gum Disease, Recessions & Absesses · Canker Sores · Cold Sores & other Herpes Outbreaks · Bed Sores · Boils · Diaper / nappy Rash* · Prostate Disorders* · Spinal Infections · Hospital Infections · Food Poisoning & Water-borne Illnesses · Giardiasis · Stomach & Intestinal Infections · Irritable Bowel Syndrome* · Colitis & Chrohn's* · Bladder Infections · Urinary Tract Infections · Kidney Infections · Measles, Mumps & Chicken Pox · Shingles · Ringworm & Rosacea · Scabies & Head Lice · Worms & Flukes · Impetigo · Peptic Ulcers · Tuberculosis · Lyme Disease.* Colds & Flues,Skin Conditions,Respiratory & Sinus Conditions,Mouth Conditions,Digestive Conditions,Burns, Wounds, Cuts and Sore Muscles & Joints.As we'll as nasty infections such as Escherichia coli (E. Coli),Candida albicans,Bacillus cereus,Proteus Cryptococcus neoformans,Staphylococcus aureus ("Staph"),Streptococcus pneumoniae ("Strep"),Pseudomonas aerugiosa and Salmonella.
Wild oregano oil has had studies performed against MRSA with amazing results, the wild oregano oil killed MRSA more effectively than all 18 antibiotics tested.Oregano oil kills MRSA at dilutions of less than one to 1,000 and the antimicrobial properties, unlike most conventional anti-bacterial agents, are not affected by heat treatment.
It takes 200 pounds of herb to produce 2 pounds of oil. It is difficult and expensive to produce. What you find in health food stores is not a medicinal grade of oregano.
Wild oregano shrubs high in the mountains of the Mediterranean.The oil produced is a amber coloured liquid with antibiotic properties from carvacrol.
