Invented in the 1950s by George Hackett, prolotherapy is based on the theory that chronic pain is often caused by laxness of the ligaments that are responsible for keeping a joint stable. When ligaments and associated tendons are loose, the body is said to compensate by using muscles to stabilize the joint. The net result, according to prolotherapy theory, is muscle spasms and pain.
Prolotherapy treatment involves injections of chemical irritant solutions into the area around such ligaments. These solutions are believed to cause tissue to proliferate (grow), increasing the strength and thickness of ligaments. In turn, this presumably serves to tighten up the joint and relieve the burden on associated muscles, stopping muscle spasms. In the case of arthritic joints, increased ligament strength would allow the joint to function more efficiently, thus reducing pain.
Prolotherapy has not been widely accepted in conventional medicine. The technique is used by prolotherapy practitioners to treat many conditions, including back pain, osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, plantar fasciitis, sciatica, sports injuries, temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD), tendinitis, and tension headaches. Most studies have focused on its use in back pain and osteoarthritis, but this evidence does not clearly support its effectiveness.
Prolotherapy is generally administered at intervals of 4 to 6 weeks, although studies have used a more frequent schedule. The treatment involves injection of a mixture containing an irritant and a local anesthetic. A total of 4 to 6 treatments is typical.
When treating back pain, prolotherapy practitioners frequently use a form of manipulation somewhat similar to chiropractic. However, it is applied after local anesthetic has been injected and is somewhat intense.
There are several irritant solutions used in prolotherapy. Concentrated dextrose or glucose has become increasingly popular because it is completely non-toxic. Phenol (a potentially toxic substance) and glycerin are also sometimes used. Other non-irritant substances may be added to the solution, such as vitamin B 12, corn extracts, cod liver oil extracts, zinc, and manganese; however, there is no evidence that these substances add any benefit.

Copycat Olive Garden Alferdo - Crockpot Version
Recipe type:
Prep time:
15 mins
Cook time:
5 hours
Total time:
5 hours 15 mins
This was DELICIOUS!! It literally tasted just like the Olive Garden, I was so so so impressed. This recipe makes ALOT of sauce - probably 8-12 servings depending on how much sauce is given to each person. We also froze half of the sauce and will reheat it slowly, try to avoid the microwave if possible, this sauce tends to break.
1 Stick of Butter (we actually recommend cutting this slightly to maybe 3/4 of a stick)
1 Quart of Heavy Cream
1 1/2 cups of Half & Half (this can be heavy cream as well, but it's cheaper to use Half & Half b/c we had it on had)
1/4 of block Parmesan cheese. When grated this becomes about 1 cup. If you would like to use 1 cup of Kraft Grated Parmesan I'm sure that would work.
2 oz of cream cheese
2 tablespoons of garlic powder
1 tablespoon of salt
1 tablespoon of onion powder
add pepper for flavor (white pepper is preferred b/c it blends with the sauce, black pepper is fine and won't affect the taste)
Grate the Parmesan cheese and set it aside. If you want to use Kraft Parmesan cheese, just use a cup.
Add the heavy cream and half & half.
Add the butter and cream cheese
Add the spices
Add the cheese and stir thoroughly
Set on high for one hour.
IMPORTANT, place 3 paper towels on the top just inside the crockpot to trap the condensation so that it does not fall back into the crockpot and break the sauce.
Set on high for an hour
After an hour stir thoroughly
After one more hour, place on low and continue to cook for 3 more hours (total cook time 5 hours)
The sauce should thicken as it cooks and as it cools it will really thicken.

Watch: J. Cole Performs 'Power Trip' On 'The View'
J. Cole made his daytime debut Tuesday (July 23) on ABC's talk show The View. Cole put on a live performance of his platinum single "Power Trip" before sitting down to talk topping Kanye West on the Billboard charts and why he felt it was necessary to pen an apology for his lyric about autism on Drake's "Jodeci Freestlye."
"As rappers, sometimes we try to play with words and be so clever and we take pride, but in this particular instance, it wasn't clever, it was actually offensive," he explained. "The more I educated myself, the more embarrassed I got about it."
Host Sherri Shepherd was particularly touched by Cole's sincerity since she is a mother to a child with special needs. The Born Sinner rapper even took to timelines to explain how mama Kay was also looking out for her son. "Doing 'The View'. Momma just told me she 'got the whole hood watching.' Hahahaaaaa," he tweeted.
Check out the performance above.—Alley Olivier

Despite rocky starts and early fatigue, Andover Girls Crew pulled out a stellar early season victory on Saturday against a competitive Essex Rowing Club. Ideal conditions and flat water boded well for all four Andover boats competing in the cross river friendly, as each boat managed to hold off Essex in close races.
Andover's first boat lined up on Essex's 1500 meter course to start off the day. After only a few short weeks of practice, pre- race nerves were evident as Andover began slowly, lacking rhythm and balance. "The start of the race was tough. We were even with Essex for a good 500 meters," said stroke seat Morgan Askew '11.
Reaching the middle 500 meters, Andover caught its stride to walk on and surpass Essex, eventually securing an almost boat- length victory with a promising time of 4:37.5.
"Although it was definitely not our smoothest race, considering we pulled 2k [tests] earlier that morning and had last minute injuries which cause a new lineup, it was a solid effort," said Natalee Sohn '11.
Andover's second boat soon followed suit, edging out Essex. After being locked with the other crew for the first half of the course, Andover moved up to a half boat length lead and finished with a fast time of 4:52.6.
After a week of hard work, Andover Girls Crew will take on a perennially tough Kent School squad in their first official race of the season on Saturday.

Detailed Review on Microsoft Surface
Checkout the latest Microsoft Surface Promo Code from Microsoft store for its new invention into tablet market. Surface RT & Surface Pro both with the whole world's focus shifted on tablets, competition seems tough. While many give attention to iPad and other known names, it cannot be denied that the world still runs on Windows. Microsoft Surface is Windows' answer to the public's demand for the company to create a tablet which runs the advantages of a Windows product. Therefore, if you are completely into Windows applications, such as Microsoft Outlook, or perhaps Photoshop, this tablet is the best device for you.
In reality, this product is neither a tablet nor a laptop, it can possibly be both. It can be heavier than a regular, light laptop. At the same time, it is also rectangular in shape, compared to other tablets which are more square. It is a convenient product which comes with the newest and fastest interfaces, like the USB3 which can be used to send files at an extreme speed. It also includes a beautifully amazing HD screen with fast processor. For users who may want to make things easier by using a keyboard, the keyboard is big enough to make typing easily, complete with a forward delete and a backspace button. It can also be used to connect to bigger screens.
Screen Quality and Resolution – The display's 10.6″ 1920 x 1080 HD screen is amazing, with its 208ppi resolution. The technology behind this is called optical bonding wherein different types of chemical bonds are used in order to prevent condensation, resulting to an enhanced delivery of text, contrast, and at the same time reducing glare and reflectivity.
Full Windows Compatibility – Yes, this product will run all Windows programs. Primarily, it is designed for running Windows 8 applications, but it also works well for applications from previous versions.
Touch Screen – The product's integrated touch screen is convenient. It also comes with a stylus for better fucnctioning.
Keyboards – There are two kinds of keyboards available for this product. One is called touch cover, which is flat, while the other is called type cover, a smaller version of a regular keyboard. It comes with individual keys, making it easy to type with it.
Battery Life – The battery life of this product is comparably poorer than other tablets and ultrabooks. This is because Intel processor is being used in this device, which tends to be more powerful. Therefore, if may not be possible to rely on this product for long term use.
Touch Screen – The provision of a stylus means that touch may not be all enough when performing certain actions on specific applications.
Eye strain when working with non-Windows 9 applications – This product is specially designed for Windows 8 applications. Though it is still possible to work on applications working on their versions, readability may be challenging.
Microsoft Surface accessories include an invisible shield, memory card, tablet sleeve, wedge mouse, and a surface pen (stylus). Indeed, this new offer from Microsoft is a good answer to the request of many Windows users. If you are interested in purchasing this product online, you may be able to save money by using promo codes and discount coupons.

Very few websites now use Java – it is mainly reserved for web based games and online calculators. However, because it is installed on the majority of computers (e.g. 80% of our visitors) Java is increasingly the target of virus attack.
Kaspersky say that 2 of the top 10 vulnerabilities on computers today are caused by Java – vulnerabilities that could give the attacker full system access to your computer. We therefore recommend disabling Java in Google Chrome to reduce the risk of attack.
Updated January 2013 – if you want to disable Java in ALL web browsers (but keep using it for offline apps like LibreOffice etc) the latest Java 7 Update 10+ includes a new Security Panel which makes it easy to disable Java content in ALL web browsers.
How To Disable Java In Google Chrome? Java is installed as a plugin – we will show you how to disable Java in Google Chrome:
- In the address bar, type chrome://plugins and press ENTER to open the Plugins configuration tab
- Scroll down the list of plugins to Java – there may be 2 files listed under Java called 'Java Deployment Toolkit' and 'Java Platform'
- Beneath those files (below the long list of application/x-java items) click the 'Disable' link to disable both files at the same time – the link changes to Enable and the whole Java plugin is greyed out
- Java is now disabled in Google Chrome – you don't have to restart Chrome, just close the chrome://plugins tab to continue browsing more safely If you want to re-enable Java, follow the same steps but this time click the 'Enable' button below the 2 Java plugin files to enable both of them – Java will now start working again.
Tip: if you want to double check if Java is disabled, visit the Java test page here. If Java is disabled you should see a blank space and a message below 'If you cannot see your machine info listed above, please check these additional configurations'.
Is There An Automatic Way? We previously reviewed automated ways of doing this in Firefox via add-ons like QuickJava but the only one we found for Chrome is very old – we can't recommend it for current versions of Chrome.
If you know of any permanent (i.e. not requiring temporary tweaks to about:flags) solutions for automating the process, let us know in the comments below.
Why Not Just Uninstall Java Completely? You could uninstall Java (like any other program) from your computer and have done with it – the problem is that you may find that you need to reinstall it again soon after… For example, the popular LibreOffice program (free alternative to MS Office) requires Java and you may find other offline programs you use do too.
Also, if you do come across a website that requires Java, you would have to close Chrome, reinstall Java, open Chrome and browse to that website again – a lot of hassle! We recommend keeping Java up to date but disabling it in your web browser(s).
To disable Java in Firefox see here and to disable Java in IE see here.
2 Responses to "How To Disable Java In Google Chrome"
Much easier in Firefox, chrome just doesn't hav the same addon support – but its gradually improving. I'd just get rid of java completely though, never come across a site that needs it
Have no fear. Chrome to the rescue!

Inspired by the physics of the world, Vianney Halter built a watch called 'Deep Space Tourbillon' that reflects the inner workings of our universe. The exquisite time-keeper was made to reflect the four dimensions that we have come to enjoy on Earth. Halter's watch design incorporates length, width, depth and time.
After a long creativity drought, Halter became inspired by the television series Deep Space Nine. The show is a spin-off of the intergalactic Star Trek series. After obsessively watching the show, Halter began having dreams where he had to explain Earth to extraterrestrials. In his dreams, the only way that he could describe the dimensions of earth was through what is now the Deep Space Tourbillon.

The first documentary attestation of Bran Castle is the letter written in 1377 by the Hungarian Ludovic I D'Anjou, giving the inhabitants of Brasov some privileges. At the end of the 14th century, king Sigismund gave up the leadership of Bran Fortress in favor of Mircea cel Batran. The royal domain had been given to the Hungarian aristocracy, while the fortress passed under the rule of Mircea's faithful boyars. Few years later, the Hungarian king got back the fortress. Bran Fortress was subordinated to the authority of Szeklers Committee. The Fortress had an essential role in protecting the Hungarian king from the Ottomans and Tartars' invasion, coming from Wallachia through Rucar Pass. That's the reason why the inhabitants of Brasov built the Castle on their own work and expenses. Iancu de Hunedoara fortified Transylvania's borders and also the towers of the Bran Castle. He made sure the rights of the peasants were respected by the boyars who ruled the fortress. However, there were frequent fights between merchants and boyars. In 1498 the fortress passed under the merchant's possession and it was used mainly for treading. You should also know that it was a time when in charge of the leadership was a judge called "Judele Brasovului". Responsible for the defense of the castle was the permanent garrison: 2 guards and 10 - 20 archers and ballisters. The boyars. had the right to collect fees from visitors and peasants. The fortress had an extra income from: selling cheese, milk and muttons and from manufacturing wood. The peasants fought against the aristocracy for several times. In 1514 they refused to take action against Gheorghe Doja. In the 18th century the fortress was the house of the Austrians frontier guards. In 1836 Bran became the official border and the defense role of the fortress was no longer a priority. In 1920, the Brasov Town council donated Bran Castle to Queen Maria of Great Romania, who lived there with the royal family till 1947. Since 1947 the Castle is opened as a museum.
While centuries passed by changes have been made to the castle. In the 16th century the wax-paper from the windows was replaced with glass and the shingle from the roof with tile. Many of the changes and reparations have been made by the prince Gabriel Bethlen. He added another rectangular tower, a square tower with two floors and the actual gate. The old observatory tower, dated 1622, shows the Romanian architectural style. At that time the villagers's houses were located on the North side of the castle. On the first floor there was a vestibule, a big dinning room, a kitchen and under the stairs a small room where they kept the gun powder. The second level comprised also a vestibule, a small chamber with a door towards the new tower, a room with short beams, a small room and a corridor made in wood (the exit towards the courtyard). During 1920-1930 other changes have been made. The fire holes turned into windows, the well into the elevator's room and the stoves into fireplaces. There have been added towers to the stairs and it was built in wood the fourth floor. Many legends are connected with Bran Castle. It is said the castle belonged to Count Dracula (Vlad Tepes), but nobody has any proof. Vlad Tepes lived only for a short time in the castle and only as a guest. What is really true is that Bran Castle conjures up the perfect Gothic fairy-tale image of a Transylvanian castle and as a result draws crowds of tourists from far and wide.

The International Affairs Unit aspires to foster global citizenship across our diverse campus, community and world.
The Kearney International Center promotes and supports global awareness, intercultural understanding, and individual sensitivity and appreciation of the diversity of life, culture and intellectual pursuits. In support of Minnesota State University, Mankato's mission to break down barriers, create solutions and achieve great things. The Kearney International Center recruits, orients, serves, and engages U.S. and international students and scholars in the following ways:
The International Affairs unit was created in the summer of 2013, following the Provost's appointment of an Interim Dean of International Affairs; it subsumes the Elizabeth and Wynn Kearney International Center and the international programs and services provided by the Center's staff. International Affairs is responsible for planning, coordinating, and delivering the principal aspects of the University's international education efforts, including international student recruitment and enrollment, study abroad and international student exchanges, international partnership initiatives, faculty exchange opportunities, international travel, and related international endeavors, in alignment with the University's commitment to promote global solutions, embody quality and excellence, and increase student success.
The International Student Office was founded in 1972, although international students had been finding their way to the University long before the office existed. The University received its initial immigration designation in 1948 and is now certified through the Department of Homeland Security, Student Exchange Visitor Program and must submit reports through the Student Exchange Visitor System (SEVIS). In 2007, the office was renamed International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS) and co-located with the International Programs Office in the Elizabeth and Wynn Kearney International Center. The staff serves more than 900 international students and scholars through a variety of Department of State approved exchange and visa programs.
The International Programs Office was founded in 1999 and is responsible for developing and sustaining the University's international partnerships and for education abroad promotion, implementation, and risk management. In 2007, the IPO was co-located with ISSS in the newly established Elizabeth and Wynn Kearney International Center. The staff coordinates the delivery of 30 University sponsored, faculty-led, study programs and coordinates the study abroad experiences of approximately 300 students annually.
The IELI was established in the fall of 2011 through a collaborative arrangement that included the College of University Extended Education, College of Arts and Humanities, and the Kearney International Center. In October 2013, the IELI was integrated into International Affairs and is now located in the Kearney International Center. The IELI offers students who require additional English language training provisional admission to the University; students participate in English language and regular university-level courses as well as cultural activities. Upon completion of the IELI program and after satisfying the University's language proficiency requirement, an IELI student becomes a regular student. In addition to the IELI bridge program, the staff designs and delivers specialized English language training programs based on the specific needs of sponsoring agencies and various institutional partners. At present, the staff serves approximately 35 students per semester.
The International Affairs Strategic Plan is the product of a collaborative, inclusive process that involved the Kearney Center staff, key campus stakeholders, and the broader campus community. The effort began in the summer of 2013 with the staff's development of a vision and a mission statement. In the fall, staff members examined key provisions of Charting the Future, the University Strategic Priorities [2010-2015], and the Provost's goals of improving student recruitment, retention, engagement, and success. Then working in inter-unit teams, the staff members drafted goals, objectives, and action plans that were aligned with one or more of the Chancellor's, President's, and Provost's priorities and integrated the results into a planning template. In subsequent meetings, the staff members discussed, refined and further developed the objectives, actions, and timelines associated with the strategic plan as well as collected baseline data for key objectives. Upon completion of a comprehensive set of objectives, the staff evaluated and selected the most pressing priorities for inclusion in the draft document shared with key campus stakeholder groups and the rest of the campus community. The staff has proposed an ambitious set of goals, objectives, and action plans that are aligned with both institutional and system priorities and implementation of the International Affairs Strategic Plan over the next five years will contribute to achieving a new level of greatness for the University. The web-based version of the draft plan, including the objectives, action plans, rationale, and the employees responsible for leading particular aspects of the plan, can be accessed at the following link: http://www.mnsu.edu/kearneyic/strategic.html
Aim I: to achieving University enrollment, diversity and global perspective goals.

This is my first comment posting, but Cham I LOVE this! I love you rapping about REAL things like Drones, The Government drug trafficking and so forth!
If you wanted to rap about real issues, you gotta rap like you used to! Instead of talking about money and bling, you gotta stay something like "Boys talkin down but I got my eye on em like drones".
Just my opinion anyways, great track !

America's Greatest Main Streets
Courtesy of TravelPaso.com
Paso Robles, CA
Midway between Los Angeles and San Francisco, this community of 30,000 was founded around natural hot springs. More recently, some 200 wineries have put down stakes in nearby hills, bringing new life to a once-moribund downtown. Visitors can take in wine tastings, exhibits, and movies around a square lined with buildings that range from adobe-style to high Victorian.
Worth a Stop: Learn more about the region's Pinot Noirs and Zinfandels by signing up for a five-hour excursion with Paso Robles Wine Glass Tours.

Can I mix the ashes of my deceased dog with the soil planting for my new tree? I'll be planting a flowering plum and wonder if it might change the ph of the soil too much. Anyone have any idea? |
Follow-Up Postings:

Probably won't hurt. However there are far better choices for a legacy tree than a Plum. They are short lived, 20-25 years if you are lucky. Ours is in decline after just 9. if you like the maroon leaves, lookup American Smoke tree. Sorry about the dog. We have a similar situation and I had contemplated the same. But we are not sure if this is our last home. New Jersey is expensive. |
- Posted by lovetogarden z4 NY (My Page) on Mon, May 6, 13 at 11:18
Thanks for the info Roger. I have 2 smoke trees on my property but they are really shrubs. I'm looking for a tree that will fit in just the right spot and flowering plum fits the bill. I have considered a tri-colored beech (breathtaking) but it tends to scorce in the sun and will get too big for the area. Since I'm in my 50s already time is not a problem - though 9 years, as in the case of your tree, is a little short. I've done some research and found that the variety Newport is supposed to be extremely hardy. I'm more concerned about the disease Black Knot than the cold though. Hopefully I won't ever have to deal with that. Just curious, was your flowering plum in a sheltered spot and sited properly? My aunt had one on her property in Ticonderoga, NY (don't know the variety) that my uncle planted over 30 years ago and it was still doing well in a sheltered, well drained sunny spot near her house until her death 2 years ago. What I loved about it was that it didn't get bigger than 20' (I have a corner property with plenty of overhead lines) and it had a very open form that gave it a delicate look which didn't shade out the rest of her garden. That's what I'm looking for. Anyway, I'm willing to take the risk and see what happens. I'm getting the tree from an excellent nursery that will replace and replant the tree at no charge if it fails within 2 years. Just the fact that I'm getting professionals to plant it (which is costing half the price of the tree) will hopefully give the plant a good start. Again, thanks for the info and suggestions. Ana |
- Posted by ken_adrian z5 (My Page) on Mon, May 6, 13 at 15:52
i got rid of mine after 10 years.. last year.. just burned its remnants ... it also suffers from gummosis ... in addition to the black knot ... same with the tree at the previous house. as well as the one at dad's house ... each in different cities ... 3 decades of experience with them .... you can do so much better than a purple plum ... what about a weeping copper beech.. train it as high as you want/need .. and let it cascade back down ???? . i do knot favor the lollipop version ... see link and latin name ... and double check zone .... so much more an heirloom in honor of your dog ... IMHO .... ken |

Sorry about your dog. How much ashes you have and how big of a transplant you ultimately go with would determine if it would work for you. tj |
- Posted by lovetogarden z4 NY (My Page) on Thu, Sep 12, 13 at 15:47
Hi guys, just wanted to give you all a follow-up. The nursery couldn't get the Newport Plum after all and so I settled on a Royal Raindrops crabapple. It's a new variety with serated purplish red leaves and pink bud and rosy red flowers. It has excellent disease resistance to all the major diseases. The nursery planted it today. Still wondering if it would be alright to move a little of the soil around and plant my dog's ashes there or would it change the ph too much? Any more info appreciated. Thanks. |
According to introducing nursery fire-blight and mildew resistance is "good" rather than excellent. I grow the tree myself but I am not in a fire-blight area. |

Hi bboy, I don't live in a fireblight area either. At least I never saw it in my area before. My main concern was with cedar apple rust since there are cedars right down the block from me. But this shrub has excellent resistance to that disease. |

text: Lost in the lore and progressive psychedelia of their segmented history, Pink Floyd are rarely if ever mentioned alongside their British blues-rock counterparts. Named after two famous blues musicians and early live shows including blues songs, Pink Floyd only hinted at traditional blues in name (see the Syd Barrett-penned "Jugband Blues"). Yet there is no denying the blues influence David Gilmour brought to the band, from "More Blues" which appeared on 1969's More to his many Stratocaster solos during and following the Roger Waters era.

If This Credit Trading Thing Doesn't Work Out, Citi Employees In London Have A Career In Gift Wrapping To Fall Back On
By Bess Levin
Behold the amazing attention to detail that was brought to wrapping the desk of a colleague, who showed up late the day after group holiday party. The mouse! The stapler! The tight, clean corners on the monitors!
The good news: due to logistical issues, no one will be fired before tonight's holiday party! The less good news: you'll likely still be fired eventually. Read more »
In 2006, one unnamed US finance firm was said to have held its London Christmas party at Madame Tussauds. Following the event, it was found that two of the waxworks had lost their heads and Jennifer Aniston was missing a finger. [eF]
Are you employed by an organization that jumped on the Holiday Party Ban bandwagon back in '08 and never got off, or chose to downsize what were once magical affairs where anything could happen to a bunch of people milling around in the lobby? This year, do you want all that to change? Do you want to be able to go hog wild and eat more than the one bag of chips allotted per employee? Do you want to propose paying a senior staffer for a lap dance and not have it be grounds for dismissal this time? You've come to the right place. Read more »
Former Galleon employee Zvi Goffer, his Emanuel Goffer and Michael Kimelman, their partner at Incremental Capital, were found guilty this morning on "fraud and conspiracy to commit insider trading" charges.

Holiday Party Adviser Offers Good Rules For Hermits, Those Not Looking To Better Their Situation
By Bess LevinThe most wonderful time of year is upon us– the office holiday party season. On any given night this month, scores of you will have the opportunity to spend several additional hours with people you despise and possibly rub up against them on the company dime. Today brings a list of rules under the guise of "surviving" said occasion. You should pay attention to them if a) you've have little to no human interaction since joining the work force or b) you have no interest in making a splash. Read more »
For the 2008 holiday season, most financial institutions canceled or drastically downsized their office parties to one communal bag of chips. Fine. Last year, despite the shit somewhat receding from the fan, The People still had scalding hot pokers up Wall Street's ass and many firms once again said no, some even to employees partying on their own, out of self-preservation. For 2010, however, we figured the dry-spell was over. Disturbingly, such is not the case. Read more »

Is Extenze Just Another Bogus Supplement?
Extenze is a male enhancement supplement that is designed to help men achieve bigger and harder male erections, more pleasurable sensations during intercourse, increased stamina and endurance, and a much easier and faster sexual response.
Extenze is taken in pill form and is intended for men who want to increase their sexual experience by extending the size of their penis and increasing pleasurable sensations. The pill comes with a 100% money back guarantee if users are not satisfied, although the testimonials we will discuss later on will show that many, many people are satisfied with the results from taking the product. Recently, the product has changed to a capsule with liquid inside rather than a solid one.
What Ingredients Are Used In Extenze?
There are many different supplement based male enhancement products out there on the market today. Some of them contain man made chemicals or odd ingredients that people may find questionable. Extenze, on the other hand, is made with only natural herbal ingredients that are uniquely chosen in order to strengthen stamina in the bedroom, increase blood flow to the penis, and boost overall performance. The compounds used to manufacture this supplement are all natural—and proven to be effective.
The ingredients in include: Ginger root, Horny Goat Weed Leaf, Velvet Deer Antler, Yohimbo Extract, Black Pepper Seed, Tribulus Terrestris, Korean Gingseng Extract, Damiana Leaf, Pumpkin Seed, Stinging Nettle Root, Astragalus Root, Ho Shou Wu Extract and Folate.
Many of these are found in similar products like VigRX, Virility EX, and Male Extra. This is simply because they work well and have been used for many years, especially in cultures like China and the orient.
How does Extenze work?
Extenze works by utilizing the natural ingredients to enhance many aspects of the male sexual experience. Horny Goat Weed, for example, has been used for thousands of years to increase libido and endurance in men. Other ingredients have similar properties and can help with premature ejaculation, erection strength, and of course the overall size of erection too. All of these natural ingredients combined create a powerful supplement with one purpose: increasing the potency of a man's sexual performance.
Other methods of male enhancement, such as penis extenders or pumps, may not be as effective for men who are too sensitive to use them or who don't have the time every day. This, however, is a supplement that can easily be taken once each and left to work for you while you go about your day.
The supplement has also been advertised on TV with celebrities such as pornstar Ron Jeremy, Jimmy Johnson the former Dallas Cowboys head coach, and NASCAR driver Kevin Conway as well. There had been some legal problems and controversy regarding the product over the years, however BIOTAB Nutraceuticals Inc who manufacture it, seem to have settled these issues and continue to sell the pill in large volumes.
Extenze Testimonials
There is a reason that Extenze is one of the most popular enhancement supplements currently being sold online. A few notable Extenze reviews over on youtube are a worthy use of your time if you are interested in learning more. Here are some other excerpts from just a couple of the satisfied customers who were pleased with what the pill had to offer them.
John R. Of California wrote that it: "… made my girlfriend notice the change in just a few weeks!! Look great and FEEL great!"
T. Green of New York reviewed the product, saying that Extenze was his "… favorite male enhancement pill so far—really works, really see results, and really feel them too."
Cody A. Stone of Alaska, in his review of the pill, wrote that it was the "number one male enhancement supplement, BAR NONE! Wouldn't choose any other product now that I've tried it. Once you go Extenze, you never go back!"
The New Bathmate Hydromax Penis Pump
Are you looking for a penis enlargement solution that will actually give REAL results? Then you will be interested in one of the most popular enlargement solutions available in today: the Bathmate Hydromax.
Unlike lesser quality products, the effectiveness of this penis pump has been proven time and time again by customer testimonials—and it even comes with a money back guarantee. How can you beat that? Let's take a closer look at this unique product.
What is Bathmate Hydromax?
This product is a unique, top of the line penis pump which brings a unique figurative twist to the concept of penis enlargement. The Bathmate penis pump uses water, not air, to create a comfortable and safe enlargement vacuum which will help increase the size of the male member over the course of time.
Typical penis pumps use air to create a vacuum in order to help increase the girth and overall size of the penis. However, this can be uncomfortable and cause unwanted friction and irritation—definitely something to be avoided in that particular area! The use of water, on the other hand, allows for a much more controlled, comfortable and safe vacuum that will not make you dread your daily 15 minute workout with the product.
There are a couple of sizes available – the X30 for guys with a small or average size member, and the X40 for bigger men. These have replaced the previous Hercules and Goliath models that the product launched with a few years ago. The new Hydromax models have better suction and are more comfortable to use.
How does Bathmate Hydromax Work?
The Bathmate Hydromax works by expanding the inner chambers of the male member–when these chambers are filled with blood, they cause an erection, which increases the size of the penis. The Hydromax gradually expands these chambers by pulling extra blood into them during your workout, this causes the outer chamber walls to slowly expand and hold more blood. In time this increases the thickness and the length of your member and results in a noticeable increase in size.
It is recommended that the product be used for about 15 minutes per day to achieve maximum results.
What does Bathmate Hydromax Really Do?
It's important to remember that any penis pumping equipment worth its salt will not promise miracle results. The Bathmate is no exception. You will not suddenly gain an extra 4 inches in size in a week! That is just not a realistic goal. A realistic goal is to expect a gradual and noticeable increase in size over time, which this product can provide.
With the Bathmate, you will see gradually improvement over several weeks and months. In a way, the use of a penis pump can be compared to lifting weights in order to increase your muscle size. You will not see instant results, even though you know that you are improving day by day. In this same way, using the Bathmate regularly will cause a gradual improvement over time which will increase your size.
Results from using this product may vary from person to person. Typically, however, it will take about 1 to 3 months to see a half inch increase in the size of your penis. From there, the results can only go up—no pun intended! The more you use the Bathmate product, the better your results will generally be.
And the great news is that the results are permanent. Once the inner chambers of the penis are expanded, they stay that way and do not revert back to their original size. So, once you have reached your size goal, you no longer need to keep using the product if you don't want to.
VigRX Plus – A Popular Male Enhancement Pill
If you haven't yet heard of the amazing pill VigRX Plus, you have been missing out on one of the most prolific male enhancement supplements to hit the market in years. This product is clinically proven to improve performance, stamina, endurance, hardness and size during a male's sexual performance. How amazing is that? Although the exact results of VigRX Plus can vary from man to man, its natural ingredients, positive testimonials, and excellent reputation are all reasons why it is currently among the most recommend male enhancement supplements currently available to the public.
Natural Ingredients
Unlike many so-called enhancement supplements, VigRX Plus actually contains many natural ingredients–many of which have been in use for thousands of years! Why create fake chemicals and phony concoctions when nature has long held the answers to many of our bodily problems? The most prolific natural ingredients in VigRX Plus are Damania, epimedium, and Bioperine.
Damania, or Turnera Aphrodisiaca, is a natural type of aphrodisiac which has been used for thousands of years to increase libido, stamina, endurance and even the quality of performance during intercourse! The Damania used in VigRX Plus will help users to improve many aspects of their performance in the bedroom–not just their size or hardness. And even better: some recent research on the effects of Damania has shown that it might even be useful in helping to correct some types of sexual dysfunction!
Epimedium Leaf Extract, or Epimedium Sagittatum, is a natural ingredient which is considered to be a very potent PDE-5 inhibitor. In layman's terms, what Epimedium does is actually increase the blood flow to your member, causing its size and hardness to be enhanced. This natural ingredient has been in use for thousands of years as a libido enhancer–it was allegedly first discovered in rural China, where its use spread to further corners of the globe.
Finally, Bioperine is a natural ingredient that actually makes the aforementioned natural ingredients work better when combined in supplement form by causing the ingredients to be better absorbed by your body.
What VigRX Plus Does
You might be asking yourself: So, what does this product actually do for me? The answer is: a whole lot! A double-blind clinical study on VigRX Plus revealed that it has a number of different benefits for the people that use it. These benefits include an increase in the ability to perform penetration during intercourse, the overall satisfaction experienced during the act, an increase in drive and desire during the act, an overall increase in the ability for the user to maintain themselves during intercourse, as well as overall increased stamina.
Don't just take our word for it. These VigRX Plus reviews reveal what other uses have reported after using the supplement for at least 84 days. Carl D. of Louisiana said that his "companion knows I am there NOW!" Another satisfied customer, Aaron Stover Jr., reported that "My girlfriend noticed and she was amazed!" And for Johnny Bodley of Alabama, the results were even more impressive—"I last for nearly an hour!"

I need some advice on overwintering my potted blueberries! I have searched all over the forums and I still have no idea what I should do. I have over 30 containers and I don't want to have to drag them all into my garage or bury them in the ground. I also read that during the winter the pots should be watered once every 6-8 weeks...any truth in that? |

Blueberry plants actually need a winter freeze to produce fruit so you don't need to worry about the cold! They will do fine outdoors and would probably not make it if you put them in the house. Make sure to water them regularly |
- Posted by oregonwoodsmoke 5 OR Sunset 1A (My Page) on Fri, Oct 8, 10 at 18:47
You can't water on someone else's schedule. Check the moisture level of the soil and add water when needed. The plants will not be using much water, but you can not allow blueberries to dry out completely or the plants will die. |
I only have 4 pots -- I have been successful by leaving them out in the garden but piling leaves or pine straw up over and around them. By spring that has broken down a fair amount & is not much more than halfway up the side of the pot, so I don't know how necessary it is, maybe it is only the mulch on the top that is helping. I do have to rig a disguise for the plants so the deer don't nibble them--last year, sticking tree branches that were taller than the blueberries into the pots seemed to work well. |
- Posted by foolishpleasure 7-8 (My Page) on Mon, Oct 11, 10 at 3:14
We din't get much rain this year and the summer was very hot. I water my Blueberry every 2 to 3 days. If in pots my understanding the watering schedule should be shorter. |
My Blueberry plant died in the pot outside last winter...I did not water it though. I have the same problem this year, what to do? I am thinking of digging a hole in the garden and placing each pot in the hole(obviously leaving the pot on)....and mulching on the top. The horticulturalist at the garden centre said they will not overwinter in containers outside and must be put in a garage with a window open. I'm gonna do the burry and mulch thing... |
- Posted by foolishpleasure 7-8 (My Page) on Thu, Oct 14, 10 at 20:27
Koko Really it depends on the variety you have. If you have northern varieties it is hardy and can stand any cold. If you have the southern varieties and you live in the north you need to protect it. |
I have varieties such as: Blue Crop, Blue Ray, Northcounty Should I leave them as is in the pots and not burry them? |
- Posted by apexgrower 6B (My Page) on Fri, Oct 15, 10 at 11:57
i decided im going to buy tons of straw and pile it up all around the pots. most of my bushes are northern but i dont want to take the chance leaving them exposed and losing any over the winter. i have read from a few sources that the soil needs to stay moist throughout the winter otherwise the bushes wont make it. so does this mean i have to water the pots during freezing cold weather? wouldnt the water in the soil freeze and cause damage to the plants? if any of you care to share photos of your potted blueberry bushes that would be cool. |

During May, bananas averaged 61.7 cents a pound at retail nationwide, down from 62.1 cents in April but up 8% from 57.1 cents in May 2010, according to Labor Department data. Retail prices for fresh fruits are expected to rise 3% to 4% this year after falling 0.6% in 2010, according to a government forecast.
Bill Sheridan, vice president of sales with Banacol, a global fruit marketer based in Miami, said shipments from his company's farms in Colombia were critically low early this year and probably will remain low through July before recovering as production normalizes.
Despite the supply problems, Sheridan said he's seeing great trends with bananas that he expects will continue.
"Our customers are reporting good, consistent sales of bananas and would not be surprised to see the category consumption go up again this year," Sheridan said in a June 29 e-mail. While retail prices are higher, bananas are still a "great value" in relation to other fresh produce items.
During the first four months of this year, the U.S. imported 1.48 million metric tons of bananas and plantains, up 1.4 percent from the same period in 2010, according to U.S. Department of Agriculture. Last year's U.S. banana and plantain imports were valued at more than $1.78 billion.

Any suggestions for a fast growing plant that will climb & cover a stucco wall on a shady path? |
Follow-Up Postings:

Wintercreeper, Euonymus fortunei. Not a real fast grower, but it is tough! |
Parthenocissus henryana is a very fast growing climber with lovely silvery veined green leaves with a purple underside which is very attractive against a stucco wall. I have one in the UK and it is very successful. It also has a bog standard jasmine that grows through it and adds its scented white flowers in the summer |

BEAUTIFUL decor, Jeanne. Especially the crackled glass candleholder and the berry garland. Love it. And of course, Dollbaby looks precious as always. hugs, Karen |
Jeanne, your cp and buffet looks wonderful. Your tea setting, rose picture, red vase & jar, birds and berries what a beautiful setting. Dollbaby's new outfit is darling and love those little shoes. So glad you showed a close up. Her tray with the red place mat, crystal cup & saucer and covered jar is so cute. Everything is looking great. Hope you have a wonderful Valentines Day. Punk |
Oh my gosh, where do I start? The center piece is perfect. Those napkin rings are lovely, and the button jar is the best. I love the Tea Set. It looks wonderful with the silver birds and red vase and jar. The rose print is the perfect accent. Babydoll looks so sweet in her new outfit and shoes. It's wonderful that you still have your DM's cupid doll. The high chair tray looks cute all decked out for Valentines Day. TFS Nana |
- Posted by jeannespines (My Page) on Tue, Feb 14, 12 at 9:49
Nana...I don't think that cupid doll is real old or anything...don't know...but my Mom would buy dolls that needed 'dressing' & make clothes for them & take them to TX when they were Winter Texans in their retirement...to distribute to orphanages or hospitals or wherever needed. This is a doll she had given me when she was doing that. She did some simple things that gave simple pleasures to many. Dollbaby now has here own little trunk of clothes & accessories since I was brought to this Holiday Forum! I thought this outfit was so cute with ruffles on the pant legs & the lil' flowered motifs...& I got it at my fave consignment shop! Shoes, too! Thanks, 'Holiday-ers,' for commentin'! Jeanne S. |
- Posted by oldalgebra (My Page) on Tue, Feb 14, 12 at 20:40
I don't really think the present holiday (whatever that maybe at the time) is fully celebrated until I see Dollbaby in her latest attire. I love the fact that you have her and display her all the time. My mother used to call me Dollbaby from time to time, and as a result, I called my children that and now call my grandchildren that. |
Jeanne what a wonderful thing for you Mother to do!! Nana |
- Posted by jeannespines (My Page) on Wed, Feb 15, 12 at 9:25
Thanks, Holiday-ers! Happy Val-Day (belated) ... but we'll celebrate the whole month, right! nana...my Mom was also a quilter & loved it so she made hundreds of baby and/or lap quilts in retirement & did the same as with the dolls...she used a sewing machine for many & then hand stitched alot, too. Thank you...I didn't have an appreciation for everything she did at that time like I do now. Jeanne S. |
Gosh Jeanne...I'm sorry I'm late, but so glad I didn't miss this. Love all your beautiful Valentine touches and especialy seeing Dollbaby enjoying the holiday too! Your berry garland candleholder looks so pretty and your buffet in the background always looks lovely. Tea Set looks nice and shiney and with the red accents added makes a beautiful vignette. Dollbaby's new/old outfit is so cute - even her little shoes! Her little tray scape - even crocheted placemat is adorable. I have to say, my eye was drawn to her little cupie doll...I can't believe your Mom made that cute little outfit...how precious. I'm amazed you got this all done in such a short time. I'll bet you're releived your floor redo is over and now things are back to normal! I hope you're enjoying it all - I enjoyed looking! jane |
