Some cars are in fact so coveted that even if you had all the money in the world, you still wouldn't be able to get your hands on one. The Swedish-made Koenigsegg Agera is an extreme limited edition luxury auto. As only 16-20 of the Koenigsegg Agera will be built, car enthusiasts will have to take a number and enter a lottery if they hope to get their mitts on this puppy.
The Koenigsegg Agera is the ultimate European machine, spewing out a whopping 912 HP and achieving a top speed of 242 mph. Sorry, but no matter how much you've suped up your Porsche, you won't be able to touch this thing.

One Dollar Gold Coins were made from1849 to 1889. They were minted in Philadelphia, Charlotte, Dahlonega, New Orleans, and San Francisco.
Three different types of One Dollar Gold Coins were made: --- Type One or Liberty Head from 1849 to 1854 --- Type Two or Small Indian Princess Head from 1854 to 1856 --- Type Three or Large Indian Princess Head from 1856 to 1889.
Quite a few scarce and rare dates challenge collectors in the One Dollar Gold Coin series.
CAC. Sharp strike and very rich greenish-gold luster. Very conservatively graded!
Crisp mint luster and well struck.
Beautiful blazing gold luster and a fantastic strike. A great coin for a top quality date or type set!
Extremely well struck with flashy surfaces retaining nearly full mint luster. An attractive example of this rare Dahlonega dollar that barely misses a mint state designation. Only 6,583 minted.
Well struck design elements with frosty green-gold luster and no significant abrasions. 290,000 struck making this the easiest to obtain 'O' mint gold dollar, yet still a scarcity at this high grade level.
Type-2. Well struck including all 4 digits of the date which are 100% struck up. Frosty orange-gold luster provides excellent eye appeal. Scattered minor abrasions are commensurate with the grade.
Well struck and lustrous with strong eye appeal.
Type-2. Well detailed with flashy yellow-gold luster. Interesting die clash marks on both sides add to the overall eye appeal.
An attractive well struck example of this scarce date with subdued mint luster and original surfaces. The only New Orleans mint Type-2 Gold Dollar with a mintage of just 55,000.
CAC. A very scarce issue with a tiny mintage of 3,533. This example has the typical central striking weakness and clash marks that are always present and displays remarkably fresh mint luster with just the barest touch of wear. An exciting and scarce Dahlonega Mint gold dollar.
CAC. Rich, creamy, original apricot-gold luster produces outstanding eye appeal.
Just 3,500 minted and seldom-seen in any condition. This example is well struck with proof-like surfaces and flashy orange-gold luster.
CAC approved. Open 3. A beautiful coin for the grade with rich frosty luster and excellent eye appeal. A raised line on Ms. Liberty's neck is as made at the mint.
CAC. Well struck with nice clean surfaces and exceptional 'mint bloom'. Looks better than the typical 64!
CAC approved. Only 1,600 minted but some of the finest surviving Type-3 Gold Dollars are this date. This example is certainly one of those with semi proof-like surfaces that are essentially flawless and intensely lustrous. If you are looking for a Superb Gem for your date or type set, this magnificent coin is worth considering!
CAC approved. Wonderfully intense orange-gold luster with a needle-sharp strike and proof-like surfaces. A fantastic Premium Gem example of this scarce date which sports a mintage of just 7,620 coins.
CAC. Semi proof-like surfaces with intense peach-gold luster and nice frost on the devices. Only 7,620 made, but many of the survivors are truly spectacular coins.
CAC. A pleasing example of this better date with flashy yellow-gold luster. 11,156 minted.
CAC. Well struck with flashy orange-gold luster. 11,156 minted.

text: Sometimes, I wished I lived in the UK. As much of a dnb head as I've been, I've never set foot outside of the US to experience the music in its homeland. It sucks, because I grew up loving dancehall and dub, and feel like the dubwise aesthetic that Digital applies to his music speaks to the heart of what I'm about. We say this to say that FABRIC's June 21 lineup is serious; Room 1 features Pinch celebrating his birthday with a Tectonic crew takeover, but Room 2 is pure Metalheadz, with Goldie, Calibre, Digital and others tearing repping the sound. Digital knocked out this promo mix that's in tune to the sounds that I need in my life: heavy emphasis on deep bass, loads of breakbeat manipulation, with a dash of dub vibes throughout. No tracklist but I imagine Digital dug into his bag of dubplates and has snuck choice cuts alongside bits many should already know.

Valley woman saved by 75-year-old mother who performed CPR
PHOENIX - A Valley woman says she's alive today thanks to a class her 75-year-old mother took more than three decades ago.
Jennie and Tom Sharda are the parents of four beautiful busy girls. Their lives look perfect, but Jennie has severe heart disease.
"I had to say to myself, even though I am only 47, I have really aggressive heart disease" Jennie said.
This past summer, a trip home to Cleveland made her realize just how deadly heart disease is and how lifesaving CPR would be.
Jennie's mom Betty was there when she collapsed.
"She said, 'No I feel really dizzy!' and she went right down, and I went right with her," Betty said. "She was turning bluish green, and I knew she was in serious trouble. Thank goodness for all these cordless phones today. I went right to it and called 911... and she asked me if I knew CPR and I said, 'Yes!'"
Betty, 75, had never performed CPR until now.
"I had taken CPR 35 years ago, but I had never performed it on anyone. I knew I had to get breath into her," she said.
Jennie's husband Tom was also freightened. "My mind went down the path of, 'I might lose my wife, and the prayer of my heart was just... I just want my wife back,'" he said.
The six minutes Betty worked on Jennie saved her life. Experts tell us only 3 percent of people who suffer major cardiac arrest survive it, and those who do had someone perform CPR right away.
Betty never imagined the class she took years ago would one day help save her own daughter.
"I see her with her husband and girls and I just get tears in my eyes," Betty said.
February is Heart Health Month. If you would like to find out more about CPR classes here in the Valley, here are a few links:

I Love Buttons Too
This blog isn't usually a platform for discussing current events, but here goes anyway: as you may have heard, Nintendo has seen better days. Perhaps due to disappointing Wii U sales, coupled with the belief that their future lies with iOS &am Android among industry analysts and people on the street alike, a rumor began circulating that the house that Mario build was going to finally cave and produce mini games for smart phones.
Nintendo flat out said that's not happening, and speaking as an old school Sega fan, one who still remembers what going multi-platform did to that company, that's a huge relief. And it's not like Nintendo couldn't do a kick ass job; they were working with touchscreens before the iPhone even existed, after all.
I love all the games that my iPhone 5S has been able to deliver; it's why I want an iPad Air as well. Heck, I also want a Nexus 7 or Moto G, just cuz. But when it comes to gaming that's entirely in the palm of your hands, I simply prefer the games on my 3DS (and Vita) a tad bit more. And that's because I just love buttons, hence the video above.
Oh, and buttons are much easier to deal on days like these, when you need to wear gloves. Touch screens, not so much! BTW, the above is by Nicolas Magnier, who also runs GamOvr, which has long been a favorite place of mine for random game related imagery.
Here Is Your Long Overdue Nintendo World Championships 1990 Recap
The other day, someone got their hands on a number of old Nintendo marketing tapes from the early 90s and shared them on YouTube. You may have seen the one that Kotaku posted, a behind the scenes look at how they "do it." With a little help from some crazy ass zooms and tilts, random switching back and forth between color and B&W, plus awesome early 90s hair.
My favorite part is the Game Boy that survived Desert Storm actually being handled; most of us have only seen it at the Nintendo World Store, behind glass. Or the head of marketing; the idea of working at a cubicle where just a few feet away is someone playing Starfox with such "I'm old, I'm rich, I'm white, and I LOVE MY LIFE!" bravado sounds both hilarious and nightmarish.
Though even better is the clip above, which recaps the 1990 Nintendo World Championship. Mostly because it feels a lot like the kind of stuff you'd see on the Bible Channel, back in the day. That and how it features a guy in the jankiest Mario outfit imaginable, thrusting his groin into the air. Presumably in front of a large assemblage of kids (at the 1:13 mark).
But what's most interesting is how the entire thing largely resembles the eSports events we have today. While the NWCs were clearly marketing vehicles (and totally shameless ones at that), Nintendo was in some way ahead of their time as well. Though I also find them slightly superior to what we have today, since I can follow someone else playing Tetris. Not so much League of Legends, sorry. BTW, the other videos can be seen here.

China has invested heavily in overseas crushing iron ore to be breaking the monopoly of the Big Three There is a good news to sellers of crushing iron ore machine. According to Voice of the economy, "Financial Post" reported that China Steel Industry Association Deputy Secretary-General-Lee said in an interview, as one of the world's largest steel producers and demanders, China has developed a large-scale investment plan about iron ore development in overseas to reduce dependence on the big three of iron ore. He said the plan will be implemented during the second five. This is going to be a big mineral processing equipment plant. It is understood that the proportion of iron ore China import from Brazil, Australia and India's demand up to 62.3% last year, China's steel production is still heavily dependent on imported iron ore. Lee said that the main purpose of China's implementation of the program is to break the monopoly of big three global in iron ore market. He said China's goal is to fight for making the proportion of imported iron ore in total demand fell to 50%. Good planning requires good equipment to support, so choose the right iron ore fine crusher and other equipments is also very important. As a wise government, it is not necessary to purchase the mineral processing equipment price is high. We should select the crushing iron ore machine price is reasonable and quality is reliable. In China mining machinery industry, many private enterprises are also very good. Thus, in the procurement of equipment of these national key projects may wish to consider private enterprises with reliable quality and good service, such as Shanghai Benco.

March 29, 2011
I recently attended and participated in the 2011 Association of Chiropractic Colleges Research Agenda Conference (ACC-RAC). My principle involvement was a two-day meeting with the other chiropractic college presidents/CEOs to discuss overall chiropractic enrollment, state board licensure issues, changes to the CCE Standards, the importance of research, and a variety of other timely and challenging topics. However, after my two-day meeting, I had the opportunity to attend many of the paper, poster, workshop and plenary sessions that were scheduled throughout the conference.
It was very exciting to see the scope and breadth of participation from Palmer College and its three campuses. Our showing was extremely impressive. Scholarly presentations from Palmer College faculty, clinicians, staff and administrators comprised nearly 30 percent of all presentations made. Palmer personnel were involved in workshops, college subgroup meetings, platform sessions and poster presentations well beyond those from other chiropractic institutions. At the end of this letter, I have included the substantial list of presenters, their respective presentations and the names of those who were honored at ACC-RAC for their award-winning presentations.
I want to personally thank all the Palmer people who had a presentation of any type at ACC-RAC, but in particular, I would like to especially thank those presenters supported by our R25 Evidence-Based Chiropractic Practice (EBCP) grant. Considering all the EBCP and R25 posters and presentations I have seen over the past three years from other institutions with R25 grants (three other chiropractic college have a similar R25 grant), I was so pleased to see our Palmer faculty invoking evidence-based practice through very practical and measurable classroom EBCP student experiences. While I appreciate addressing EBCP at the program level, the primary purpose of programs addressing any curricular issue is to impact learning. Other colleges may take justifiable pride for their own R25 efforts, but as Palmer Vice Chancellor for Academics Dr. Bucky Percuoco commented to me during one of the sessions, no other group of presenters seems yet positioned to measure student learning based on strategic instruction, as the Palmer cohort has clearly done.
Again, I am very proud of the work of those who were involved with ACC-RAC, and I want the entire Palmer community to be aware of their efforts to advance Palmer College as "The Trusted Leader in Chiropractic Education."

Haqqani Network is part of the Taliban -- Siraj Haqqani
Click to view slide show of some of the Haqqani Network's top leaders. Pictured is a composite image of Siraj Haqqani. |
Haqqani Network leader Sirajauddin Haqqani, who is closely linked to al Qaeda, denied that his forces operate separately from the Taliban and said his followers are loyal to Afghan Taliban leader Mullah Mohammed Omar.
Siraj made the statement during an interview that was published in the September 2012 edition of Al Samoud, the official magazine of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, or the Taliban. The article was translated by the SITE Intelligence Group.
In answer to a question addressing Western claims that his organization, which is referred to as the Haqqani Network, is "an independent front from the Islamic Emirate," Siraj dismissed the characterization as a rumor and said that he and his fighters are part of the Taliban.
"There is no truth to such claims and rumors at all; they are part of the war of rumors by the enemies of Islam," Siraj responded. "We are one of the fronts of the Islamic Emirate, and we do jihad in the Cause of Allah under its banner, and we are proud of our pledge to its Emir [Mullah Omar] and we carry out its orders and all its regulations. All formations and the employment figures with us are by the Islamic Emirate, and we obey completely in good deeds the Emir of the Believers Mullah Muhammad Omar...."
Siraj's denial is identical to that of other senior Haqqani Network leaders as well as the Taliban. Jalaluddin Haqqani, his father, told Al Samoud in an interview in 2008 that the "all the Mujahideen wage Jihad under the leadership of the Ameer ul-Momineen Mullah Mohammed Omar Mujahid against the American invaders and their lackeys."
"There is no crisis (of division) under the names moderate or extremist among the Mujahideen," Jalaluddin continued. "They all fight under a unified leadership."
During the interview, Jalaluddin also stated that he is "a member of the High Council of the Islamic Emirate," which is known as the Quetta Shura.
Mullah Sangeen Zadran, one of Siraj's top lieutenants who also is the shadow governor of Paktika, also denied that the Haqqanis are a separate entity, in an interview published in Al Samoud in January 2012.
"It [a division between the Haqqani Network and the Taliban] is a rumor war that the broadcast stations of the enemy and its media centers are waging," Sangeen said. "I assure you with all confidence that all the mujahideen of the Emirate are united under the leadership of the Emir of the Believers Mullah Mohammed Omar, may Allah the Almighty preserve him, and he is the one who guides this battle in all the land, and his honest leadership is taking the jihadi movement towards the anticipated victory, Allah the Almighty willing."
In September 2012, the Taliban released a statement on their website, Voice of Jihad, declaring that there is "no separate entity or network in Afghanistan by the name of Haqqani," and that its overall leader, Jalaluddin Haqqani, is a member of the Quetta Shura, the Taliban's top leadership council.
"The honorable Mawlawi Jalaluddin Haqqani is a member of the Leadership Council of Islamic Emirate and is a close, loyal and trusted associate of the esteemed Amir-ul-Mumineen [leader of the faithful, Mullah Omar] and those Mujahideen entrusted under the command of his sons are in fact the heroic Mujahideen of Islamic Emirate who like other Mujahideen strictly obey the esteemed Amir-ul-Mumineen and wage Jihad against the invaders throughout the country," the Taliban statement said.
The Taliban also claimed that the Haqqani Network was created by the US as part of "its satanic plot" to divide the group.
In the past, US military officials and the State Department have characterized the Haqqani Network as a terror group that has operated independently of the Taliban, and have sought negotiations with so-called "moderate" elements of the Taliban. The US has even engaged members of the Haqqani Network in an effort to negotiate a settlement to the Afghan war, despite the fact that its members are in league with al Qaeda. US officials have now largely abandoned efforts at negotiations, and the State Department added the Haqqani Network to the list of foreign terrorist groups in September.
The Haqqani Network is a powerful Taliban faction that operates in eastern, central, and northern Afghanistan, and is based in North Waziristan in Pakistan. The terror group has close links with al Qaeda, and is supported by Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence Directorate (ISI). Siraj is the operational commander of the Haqqani Network and leads the Miramshah Shura, one of four major Taliban regional councils. Siraj is also a member of al Qaeda's Shura Majlis, or executive council, US intelligence officials have told The Long War Journal.
Since 2008, nine top Haqqani Network leaders, including Sirajuddin, have been placed on the US list of terrorists; six of them were designated in 2011. All of them have ties to al Qaeda. Jalaluddin has not been added to the list. For more information on the Haqqani Network, see LWJ report, US adds Haqqani Network to list of terror groups.

None of this should be a surprise to anyone who reads this site regularly. Let us start at the top:
Kill Mullah Omar
Kill all of the Haqqani's and their operatives
Stop believing what the ISI says.
Take the fight to the Taliban if the Paks won't do the job (they will not.)
Posted by mike merlo at October 5, 2012 1:29 PM ET:
As usual the Haqqani's mislead and lie. Their relationship with the Taliban is as muddled & tenuous as the Italian German (Fascists & NAZI's) was during WWII. Both the Taliban & Haqqani Network view each other with a level of suspicion that vary's according to a host of factors many of which are not evident to outside observers hence analyst & prognosticators.
As long as the Haqqani Network continues to benefit financially, territorialy & politically from the 'relationship' with the Taliban & the broader Islamic Jihad, particularly the International connections that result in financial gain through a variety of 'formats,' the Haqqani's are content to be viewed however their many allies, collaborators, co-conspirators etc., see fit.
As the 2014 departure date nears for a reconfigured International presence a 'jockeying' for position's of commercial & political will import begin to emerge, as some already have. The periodic infighting witnessed among the insurgents over the last decade will resurface showing the true 'face' of the insurgency which is really nothing more than a criminal enterprise. Much in the same way Mexican Drug Cartels have set upon each other & elements of the Private & Public sector targeting them the AfPak theater can expect to experience the same.
Bottom line is after all is said & done the Haqqani Network could a care a less about whatever expectations, results or outcomes etc., emerge from a decade of conflict as long their needs & wants are satisfied & met, "Shura," Taliban, Islamic Jihad, etc., withstanding.
Posted by Mr T at October 5, 2012 2:19 PM ET:
So it sounds like we need to whack Mullah Omar. Pakistan know where he is living. They should realize that as soon as our forces are out of there, the $ will be cut off. Give us Omar and we might keep it flowing. President Romney might not be as flexible. You have a couple of weeks to give him up.

Hopefully America does as much killing as possible (combatants) as they exit the theater. It seems as though American SF teams are targeting leaders in Afrika and having success.perhaps this will be the new paradign as the strategy for the long war evolves.

while at one time your view might've held true it now appears that Pakistan is proxy to the both' you 'speak' of

More reviews by canceroustraguses
I used this yellow for when I went rainbow.
Packaging- Never satisfied with the packaging. They should put it in a bottle.
Price- Always satisfied.
Pigmentation- I put mine of pinkish bleached porous hair and it came out bright yellow.
Longevity- It matters your hair type, but mine didn't last. Of course there were plenty of other colours surrounding it, I washed it often, and it was a pale yellow. If you dye your entire head yellow, I imagine it will last much longer. I recommend.
You'll get the coolest color, and you won't even have to get your hair to near white to accomplish it. Best yellow color.
I haven't used this product as a straight-up yellow dye. Rather, I've used it to mix with various blues to create varying shades of green. For this purpose, I absolutely love this dye. You can mix a little bit at a time, or make a whole custom batch and glop it back into the jar (another reason I love this dye... the jars are perfect for making and storing custom mixes). The staying power is pretty impressive, too.
Stains like the dickens, though, so be careful!
More reviews by BroknHeartSmudgedEyeliner
This hair dye is really runny. It gets everywhere when trying to apply! Manic Panic hair dye sucks. It never stays in my hair, always fading out in 1-2 washes no matter what I do. I wanted Electric Banana just because it was the brightest hair dye i've ever seen. Even when I applyed it to my pure white hair, it turned out really bright. Right when I washed the hair dye out to get it out of my hair, it even faded then, and somehow faded into a brownish colour. Not a good look! Its still some yellow in there, so im keeping it, but i wont repurchase

Courtesy University of FloridaSymptoms of the new Pseudomonas disease (pictured) on a watermelon leaf were slightly different than those of angular leaf spot.A bacterial cousin of the organism responsible for angular leaf spot caused a severe outbreak in commercial watermelon fields throughout Florida in April.
A group of University of Florida researchers identified the culprit as a Pseudominas species that is genetically similar to the P. synringae pv. lachrymans that causes angular leaf spot of watermelon, according to a grower newsletter.
They are Nicholas Dufault, a plant pathologist, and Christopher Ferguson, doctor of plant medicine, both at Gainesville; and Mathews Paret, a plant pathologist at the North Florida Research and Education Center in Quincy.
Disease symptoms also were slightly different than those of angular leaf spot.
Bacterial diseases of cucurbits are common throughout the Southeast, but the researchers said the severity of this epidemic was "extraordinary."
They blamed the long periods of rain accompanied by cool day and night time temperatures for providing ideal conditions for disease development.
Once temperatures climbed into the 70s and 80s during late May, the impact of the pathogen began to decrease.
Will the pathogen be a problem in 2014?
The researchers say it's probably unlikely because of different environmental conditions.
Nevertheless, they recommended scouting on a regular basis should wet and cool conditions be present in April.
Buying certified seed or removing transplants with leaf spot symptoms are two ways to help reduce the amount of inoculum brought into the field.
Rotating to a non-cucurbit crop in fields that had the pathogen and proper weed control are two additional ways to reduce the chances of repeat infections.

Vagifem? I know is a homone made from plants. It it the same as the estrogen creame? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Vagifem is a tablet form of Estradiol, a bio-identical hormone derived from plants. It is less messy to use than the cream or gel, but quite pricey. I was quoted around $60/mo at my local pharmacy, so I opted for the gel which is less than $30/mo from a compounding pharmacy. |

French group designs CT scanner for product inspection
Minalogic, a Grenoble-based microelectronics cluster, has said its Delpix project has created an X-ray rapid-tomography system for quality inspection on the production line.
While X-ray computed tomography, or CT scan, has been widely used for years in the medical field, it is still rarely employed in manufacturing because of the slowness of the image-acquisition and reconstruction processes and the low attainable resolution.
This three-year, €8.5m ($11m) project was set up to shorten the time required to inspect products from several minutes to only a few seconds, and so make the CT scan practical for industrial quality control.
"By integrating this technology in industrial processes, the Delpix project developed the only X-ray tomography platform of its kind in France, overcoming the cost and quality issues that have long been barriers to using this modality in manufacturing," said Jean Chabbal, Minalogic's chief executive.
The project developed lower cost X-ray flat-panel detectors and software for faster real-time 3D image reconstruction.
Automated processing of the 3D reconstructed data allowed for detection of defects in the inspected pieces (assembling, setting, material quality inspection, etc.)
Partners in the project include Thales and Trixell along with smaller companies - CyXplus, Digisens and Noesis. The INP Grenoble and INSA Lyon (academy) were also involved in the project.

I went off HRT (Femhrt) in early June and suffered a terrible summer with hot flashes and night sweats. Woke 6-8 times a night with sweats, then had a hard time getting back to sleep. Needless to say, this affected my mood. By early September I was a basket case: hot flashes, depression, irritability. My prescription was still good, so I went back on the HRT without even calling my doctor.
I had an appointment with her today (this is about 3 weeks after going back on the HRT) and she suggested I consider a low dose of anti-depressants; she has had good luck treating her patients with anti-depressants for hot flashes. She also refilled the prescription for the HRT, leaving the decision up to me. What she prescribed was Effexor, 75 mg/day. (The dosage for depression is 150 mg/day.) Has anyone been treated for hot flashes with a low dose of anti-depressants? What should I be considering as I make this decision? I have a family history of heart disease and stroke, but no breast cancer. I have osteopenia in my hips and spine, for which I took Fosamax but am now switching to Actonel. Judy |
Follow-Up Postings:
I don't know anything about Efexor. A friend of mine at work was given Paxil for hot flashes and various menopausal symptoms. The result for her was a complete absence of affect--she didn't care about anything. So, she stopped taking it. |
- Posted by joann23456 (My Page) on Tue, Oct 12, 04 at 2:18
Flat affect is a sign of over-medicating, not what your doctor is doing. I'd try the Effexor before HRT. |
I'm on a low dose of Zoloft because I needed an anti depression - even though I have never been depressed in my life I knew something was wrong. It has helped so far and today she upped my dosage to 150mg (she said up to 300 is the range most people are on) and that it should help with the night sweats. Guess I'll know in good time. A lot of her patients have had good luck with the anti dpression but I think you also need to be depressed for them not to overmedicate you. I have never had a flat effect from them yet. |
i would avoid Effexor if at all possible as i have been taking it for for several months and if i miss 1 day of taking it i get rather irrational and grouchy . Zeke |
I take Prozac, doesn't help much with the hot flashes, but sure helps with the mood swings! I would be in prison for murder without it. |
In my opinion anti-depressants are way over-prescribed. No one should be taking ADs unless they've been truly diagnosed as being depressed. Anti-depressants can set a bipolar person into a manic state. There are many more undiagnosed functioning low level bipolar people than you would think. Using mood altering drugs for menopause is just too risky in my book. I wish our culture would stop treating every stage of a woman's life as an "illness" to be dealt with. It's been done with pregnancy and childbirth, and now with menopause. We should be spending more time teaching girls and women about these natural occurences and take the fear out of it. I have friends who haven't even had a hot flash yet who are already worrying about what they will take for them. As for me, when I get a hot flash I throw off the cover or remove my coat or whatever and focus on breathing. Drinking some cool water helps too. It's not like they last forever. Moods swings were a problem for me with PMS and were also really strong during the first year of menopause. Knowing what they were due too and being open about the problem with family helped a lot. Knowledge is power. Prozac suddenly became the drug of choice for "women's issues" when the patent ran out. How convenient for the drug company. |
Wildchild, I am handling my hot/cold flashes as you described. I am lucky that I am past (or so it seems) the PMS, moodiness, etc. I am constantly throwing covers/clothes off or grabbing a blanket because I am cold all of a sudden. I am hoping to not take HRT, I am taking black cohosh, but don't think it is helping, who knows it could be, might be alot worse if I weren't taking it. I'm 51 and it sure seems the worst part is past...I sure hope it is. |
I agree with Wildchild - why do some doctors have a pill for everything? I think we are an over-medicated society looking for a quick fix to things that have practical, no-meds solutions. |
I was also prescribed Effexor for hot flashes. I really do not understand the reason. I am menopausal, NOT depressed. When I asked the Dr why I was being prescribed an anti depressant for hot flashes, she said she really didn't understand the relation. Oh, that gave me great faith in her...NOT I took a few dosages anyhow, and I felt nauseous, light headed, dizzy, could not drive and was still experiencing hot flashes 24/7. Hmm, something is not right here. I need the hormones, and they do not give me the symptoms that the anti depressant meds did. My life w/o hrt therapy is not pleasant. I have a phone call in to her, and hope to hear from her soon. I will sign ANOTHER disclaimer to take the hormones if I must. I am the best judge of what my body feels like and is telling me, not some biased study or a Dr who has not experienced menopause. Thanks for allowing me to get this off my sweaty chest. |
I also have to agree with Wildchild. Antidepressants are not something to be taken lightly. I tried three different kinds and had a bad reaction to each one. That was when I said, "No more!" My heart would race like you wouldn't believe. And you did mention you have a history of heart disease in your family. It doesn't affect everyone in the way it affected me, but it was bad enough to give me a serious medication phobia that I still struggle with, and that was ten years ago. I don't have a heart disorder except for Mitral Valve Prolapse, but let me tell you, I thought I was dying right on the spot! My blood was pounding in my ears so loud and my heartrate was so fast I couldn't even count it. And this was after only take 1/4 of the dose I was prescribed! I hate to think what might have happened if I'd taken the full dose! I'm not trying to scare you, but antidepressants are well known for having a whole host of bad side effects - some of them dangerous. I'd seriously consider other things before I'd pop one of those if I were you. Randi |
I was told once, yer not menopausing, yer depressed! :o) I was like... hmmm never heard of depressed people having hotflashes and night sweats... I don't take anti-depressants, I get too many side affects... ie double vision... how can you live with constant double vision? Happy...but can't do anything cuz I can't see! :o) No thank you... |

My doctor explained that both HRT and anti-depressants work on the same part of the brain. |
Well, that's sort of simplistic... hormones do so many things that anti-depressants don't, but maybe the lack of hormones affect the part of the brain that anti-depressants work on. |
I finally was able to get in touch w/ my ob-gyn. I told her about my neg. reaction to Effexor and she agreed to put me back on hrt. I am now back on the hormones and feeling better, much better. While they do not stop all the hot flashes and night sweats, there are only a few in 24 hours, so it is tolerable. I still do not understand the resoning behind using Effexor for menopause. |
Effexor is a serotonin reuptake inhibitor. During perimenopause, the lack of hormones can cause the brain to absorb serotonin at a different rate, which can cause mood swings and depression. I don't really understand how they think it can help the night sweats and hot flashes, but for some it works, for some it doesn't. For me, it doesn't do a thing for the sweating, but helps my PMS... not my perimenopause! :D DEFINITIONS OF SEROTONIN: Serotonin A neurotransmitter involved in many functions, including mood, appetite, and sensory perception. A hormone found in the brain, platelets, digestive tract, and pineal gland. It acts both as a neurotransmitter (a substance that nerves use to send messages to one another) and a vasoconstrictor (a substance that causes blood vessels to narrow). A lack of serotonin in the brain is thought to be a cause of depression. Also called 5-hydroxytryptamine. An important neurochemical whose effects upon the human brain include mood elevation. Production of serotonin in the brain is increased by ingestion of the amino acid tryptophan (a chemical precursor to serotonin) and the pharmaceutical anti-depressant Prozac (trademarked product of Eli Lilly & Company). ... |

I agree that anti-depressants (and anti-anxiety meds) are over prescribed! But boy, oh boy, there are some people out there that really benefit from them but you have to use your own best judgement whether or not they are right for you! I was diagnosed wiht moderate clinical depression years ago and went on zoloft. I never realized that "feeling good" was something that happened to people on a daily basis! After counselling I discovered that I was depressed all my life. I never knew it, because if you feel one way all the time, you think it's normal. You don't know anything thing else. Then dh got involved and was totally against me taking zoloft he said that it was just example of doctors over medicating. We got into a big hoo haa - and me being insecure (goes along with depression) decided he was right, so, I stopped the zoloft. HUGE mistake! I went through early menopause (peri started at 40) and the depression got so bad that I wouldn't/couldn't get out of bed. Dh would yell at me to "get with it". That I was not the only woman going through this - blah blah blah I kept a journal of that period in my life and let's say I had to burn it - it was that bad. Let's also say that if anything had ever happened to dh - that journal could have earned me a life sentence without parole. LOL To make a long story short I went back to the dr's and went back on zoloft. I swear it saved my husband's life! LOL Really. I sat down with him and said "look buddy, you have NO IDEA how *I* feel let alone what women go through with hormonal changes." I slapped the zoloft down in front of him and said don't you ever tell me how I feel or how I should feel and WHAT I should do about it (he always said to just "suck it up") Anyway, I've never felt better - ever - I'm 49 and have been post menopause for 5 years! And really, it was the best thing for "me". As for dh, yes I am still with him (25 years) and realize now how narrow minded / and passive agressive he can be. So, I've taken steps to improve THAT too! The bisggest lesson I learned was that you have to be true to yourself. You also can't let anyone tell you how you should feel especially when they haven't a clue. I really believed dh and thought that I was weak. I am approaching 50 at a steady pace and feel more independent than ever before. I will probably be on zoloft for the rest of my life, as life is ugly without it. But at least it's MY choice and no one else's. I recently started a new career and love it and enjoy being in the driver's seat of MY life. As for DH - well I think he likes me better this way and life with him has been better. Whew! What a rant. BJ |
BJ, it's ALWAYS better to take care of yourself! I can't understand men.... my Significant Other is just like that. Some men seem to feel that if it doesn't happen to them, it isn't happening to other people. Or if it WAS happening to him, other's were going through it too. I just gave up... when he started into saying what your hubby said, I just told him that "I had explained it before, just rerun that explanation in your head" and walked off. I am fairly lucky, because his sister is going through the pause, he finds it okay for me to too, but if not... I am sure he'd not understand. I just ignore it and go one with my life. the one thing about menopause is, I have gotten greatly tired with other people's foibles (not that I don't have my own) and so I tend to not let them affect me like I used to. "If you don't like it, lump it" has kind of gotten to be my mantra. Funny thing is... he lumps it. :o) If you have to take your zoloft, and he doesn't like it... he can LUMP it! :o) |

heathen (love your name, btw) I've always wondered exactly what "lumping it" means! *L* I guess it must be a male thing, but sometimes I'm really not so sure. I have friends who's husbands are a LOT more "tuned in" and sensitive to what their wives are going through - not completely sensitive but at least they seem to have an understanding and seem to listen. And this I don't get. I'm not a whiner so it's not like I ramble on incessantly about how I feel, how I don't feel etc. I just don't tell him much of anything anymore because he'll try to tell me how I should handle it in a very impatient "don't you know" kind of tone. He won't offer "advice" or even pretend to be empathetic - it's just like you said, if it's not happening to him/them then it's not happening at all. I couldn't agree more. I'll tell you another thing, I really didn't realize just how "self" he was like this until I restarted the Zoloft. I don't want to turn this into a male bashing session (too late? :~) because I know that *all* aren't the same. How did we get so lucky, heathen? Oh and he IS lumping it, alrighty! He's lumping a lot of things these days while I look after myself, for a change. BJ |
My DD was having depression problems related to some things going on in her married life and was prescribed an antidepressant which she took for awhile. Not liking the side effects and that it wasn't really helping she went to a nurse practitioner and was recommended natural progesterone cream and she went to health food store and bought some. She tried it for awhile with poor results and a friend recommended another brand and she didn't really think it would do any good, but she says she feels like a new person now and wouldn't be without it. Donna |
BJ, thank you! I don't understand men much, my BF is fairly considerate about most things... just not health problems, for some reason. I think that his manhood is wrapped up with it somehow. :D LOL! I don't know what "lumping" is either... must look that up. Donna... I think that's the thing, just keep trying things that work... everyone is different.... |
Hello All, I have heard that Black Cohosh (a herbal remedy) has fantastic effects on hot flushes caused by menopausal symptoms. Good luck! Can be ordered online in Britain certainly. A good site is www.healthdirect.co.uk |
Some people never give up. jess, take it some place else. blah, blah, blah. Pay for an ad if you need to advertise. |
To be honest i am not surprised women get depressed with all the symptoms some seem to suffer needlessly, weight gain (which we all hate) water retention, etc etc and side effects of HRT which can be horrendous, its not surprising when pumped full of chemicals and a lot of which contain animal hormones totally unsuitable to match human hormones, that these poor women suffer so, and nobody seems to listen and hear what they're saying, but its the cause that needs to be treated not the depression, that will surely go once they feel better, lose the weight and are happier once again. I am now trying a natural progesterone to put my hormones back to balance and am very fit now working out every day etc so hopefully this will be the icing on my case. Its very sad reading how all these lovely women have been suffering for years, lets hope Drs now change their views on natural products. Fiona (UK) |
I've read that Effexor withdrawal is hard. I took Prozac for a couple of years for various menopausal reasons including anxiety. I quit one day when I decided I didn't need it anymore, and was fine....Lynn |
For the women who take AD only intermittently (not every day), I don't understand how it works since I think it needs to reach a therapeutic level in the blood and that doesn't happen overnight. How can they feel good so quickly when the therapeutic level hasn't been reached yet? Placebo effect? And if you are taking an AD, are you also exercising, eating right, eliminating (or significantly reducing) alcohol and caffeine intake, and other lifestyle habits that contribute to overall health and wellbeing? |

What you really need is to adjust your estrogen instead of taking an anti-depressant. You need to try different forms and dosage levels of estrogen, preferably natural estrogen (estradiol, not ethinyl estradiol) instead of a one-size-fits-all synthetic estrogen & progestin like FemHrt. |

Try 5-HTP it's a natural SSRI. Take 100mg 3xday, if you get sick to your stomach, introduce one pill at a time. You can get them at iherb.com, NOW is a good brand. DO NOT take these if you are taking ant prescription anti-depressants. Donna |
Some people enjoy great relief from taking anti-depressants. My doctor had me on clonidine, which did jack squat. He then had me on Effexor. If Effexor works, fine and dandy. For me, it was bloody evil and I wish I'd never heard of the stuff. I understand Paxil is pretty toxic and that a lot of doctors will not prescribe it. ps: I am now using the clondine and nicorettes to quit smoking. That seems to work |

I was anti depressants way before I got menopause and although it cured my depression it caused a ton of other problems, which is when I decided to go for herbal remedies for things. When I got started menopause my doctor told me try hormone therapy but I wanted to try herbal remedies first. My friend recomended this product called Changes For Women, which has been helping with my hot flashes, anyone else try herbal remedies yet? |
Of course! I use Meno-cream, an over the counter wild yam progesterone cream... over the years I've had to increase the dose, guess I'm sinking farther into menopause.... sigh... but it sure helps with the hot flashes and night sweats and mood swings for ME. |
I don't think so unless the AD help you from totally going crazy DURING meno. I've been on AD for 10+ yrs. and it IS NOT helping me with HF. In fact I'm even using a bio-identical progesterone cream and nothing is helping right now. But everyone is different, so good luck. Carla |
I have been on effexor for about 3 years, 75 mg a day. What a difference! But it lasts about 8 hours, so evenings and nights are not the best. I have discovered that if I forget to take it, I am irritable and hot, or is that hot and irritable. Which came first, the chicken or the egg? |

I suffered from hot flashes for nine years, until I started taking Zoloft. My hot flashes were every fifteen minutes all morning and evening, with a little relief during the day. For women who have severe symptoms of menopause, precription meds are sometimes needed. If you have no quality of life because of your symptoms and you are completely miserable, like I was, thoughts of suicide can enter your brain -- prescription meds are a much better option. I tried all forms of natural remedies and NOTHING helped. |

Most conjoined twins never survive pregnancy. And of those that are born, only about 25 percent will live.
However, twin girls from the Philippines are beating the odds.
Angelica and Angelina Sabuco will soon wake up separated for the very first time.
The two-year-old twin girls were born connected at the chest and abdomen.
After what doctors are calling a miracle operation, the two girls are recovering in different hospital beds.
"We're very pleased. Things basically could not have gone better," Dr. Gary Hartman, lead surgeon at Lucile Packard Children's Hospital at Stanford said during a news conference.
The surgery took a team of 20 doctors from ten hours to complete.
Angelica and Angelina shared a liver and diaphragm, but had separate hearts and lungs.
"Our long term prognosis -- we would expect happy healthy, set of girls," Dr. Hartman said.
The girls are in the pediatric intensive care unit.
Dr. Hartman says they will spend the next few months learning how to function on their own.
"They're very resilient. So my expectation is that they will bounce back from this quite well," he said.
The girl's mother says she can't wait to have very ordinary twin daughters
"I thank God for everything this is a dream come true," said Ginady Sabuco.

I wanted to like it... Nancy from Utica, Nebraska– Verified Buyer I put this light in my kitchen. It is not right for a kitchen. I wish the picture would have shown that the spandex fabric gathers at the bottom giving it a "ruffly" look. It will be coming down as soon as I find another light. Plus, the picture makes it look like the cord is black, but it is actually bright white. |
Elegant and simple marisol from memphis, tn– Verified Buyer I love the design and the way it diffuses the light the room. It sets the mood just right. |
nice fixture roco from state college, pa– Verified Buyer Looks great; matches our Sonneman floor lamp. Brightens up the dining area b/c we got the yellow cover. Neat that you can get other color covers too (which we did but haven't used yet). We have a contemporary table and chairs and the lines of the fixture and dining set look great together. Took 1 hour to assemble. |
Nice Modern light Joe from Annapolis, MD– Verified Buyer Stylish |

The Packers brain trust came up with a surprise in this game by unleashing rookie running back James Starks. The Packers coaching staff obviously thought they could take advantage of opportunities running the ball against the Eagles with the powerful and fast Starks. With their other running backs producing mostly pedestrian numbers this year, Starks was game-planned to get the ball often. Building on his initial success emboldened the coaches confidence and he ended up with an impressive 123 yards.
Starks productive running was counterbalanced nicely with another superb performance by Aaron Rodgers, who threw for three touchdowns and should have had another except for a drop by James Jones. By halftime the Packers seemed to be in control of this game as they took a 14 3 lead, but the momentum changed in the third quarter which put Cheeseheads on the edge of our chairs as the game played out.
Fortunately, this Packer team has a very sound defense and they rose to the occasion once again Sunday. Dom Capers rolled out a new look for the Eagles designed to contain Michael Vick. Charles Woodson got to play the leading role in the nickel spy. Inserting a fifth cornerback into the lineup, Woodson then moved closer to the line of scrimmage and almost became a fifth linebacker which confused Vick and proved productive.
Defensive Coordinator Capers defensive unit has been playing really well and thus it was poetic justice that Williams interception would advance the Pack to meet the Falcons next Saturday in Atlanta. The Packers almost beat the high-flying Falcons back in late November and they now will get another chance next week. Looking back at the first game, Aaron Rodgers and Greg Jennings turned in big numbers but the running game was abysmal. Starks was inactive for that game but you can bet the farm that he will be active next week.
It is really fun watching the wrinkles Dom Capers rolls out week after week. His creativity makes the games interesting for Cheeseheads who enjoy defensive strategies. Next week Capers must figure out how to corral Michael Turner who is a powerhouse running back whom the Packers did not contain well the last time. If the Packer defense can continue at this high level, and if the newly-found running game can post numbers like on Sunday, the Packers could pull off an upset in Atlanta.
Inexplicably, the Packers talented receiving corps had the dropsys against the Eagles. That cannot happen again against the Falcons if the Packers hope to advance to the NFC championship game. The good news for Cheeseheads is that the Packers have plenty of talent to beat the Falcons in the Georgia Dome, if they come with their A game.

Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Juniper!
Facts about Juniper
- Breed: Hound (Unknown Type) Mix
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Female
Juniper's Info...
I am up to date with shots.
Juniper is a 2 month old hound mix puppy. She is very sweet and affectionate. If you have a place in your home and your heart for lovely little Juniper, fill out an application at www.henricohumane.org.
Other Pets at Henrico Humane Society
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Juniper, a Richmond Hound (Unknown Type) puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Hound (Unknown Type) for sale in Richmond, or seeking a Hound (Unknown Type) puppy from a breeder in Richmond.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Richmond already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Richmond breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Hound (Unknown Type) breeders who help with Hound (Unknown Type) rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Richmond paves the way for another one to be saved.

The New England Patriots defense needs all the good news it can get after last season's debacle. Luckily for them, that's exactly what they got from first-round pick Chandler Jones in Week 1 of the preseason.
Jones wreaked havoc snap after snap against the New Orleans Saints and left tackle Jermon Bushrod, an agile pass protector who didn't have one of his most memorable days. New Orleans' signal callers seemed to have endless pressure coming from their backside whenever they dropped back to pass and Jones was coming downhill, which occurred during was 14 of his 26 total snaps according to Greg Bedard of The Boston Globe. Of those 14 snaps, five were pressures, which works out to a pressure nearly every three snaps, and he drew one hold (two total) when rushing the passer.
It would be simply incorrect to say that Jones' impressive play was expected. At Syracuse University, he didn't always look explosive as a junior and he was very raw, which at times still showed against the Saints. But his strength and use of length was unexpected. He held up well against the run and did an excellent job of using brute strength to push Bushrod back at the point of attack.
As noted, there were several pressures that illustrated the quality of play from the Patriots rookie rusher, but one especially notable play came on the first drive. Jones was used as a LEO (another term is "JOKER") by playing in two, three, and four-point stances throughout the game, and the latter was the case here as he was in a coiled four-point stance on the outside shoulder of Bushrod in a five-technique alignment.
At the snap, Jones closed the gap between himself and Bushrod by extending his arms out to the blocker and attempting to gain the leverage advantage. Once he made contact with Bushrod, he knocked him back and off-balance with strong hands despite not necessarily having quality hand placement. Ideally, Jones' hands would be inside of the blocker's breast pads, which would allow him to drive Bushrod back.
However, that didn't prove to be an issue as he still startled Bushrod.
As Jones continued his path to the quarterback, he grabbed the right shoulder pad of Bushrod and simply shoved him aside with ease. He pushed the tackle to the side, lifted him off the ground, and knocked him off-balance once again while going after quarterback Drew Brees.
When it was all over, the young Patriots pass rusher didn't record a pressure or a sack, but he was a threat from the second the ball was snapped. Bushrod needed help toward the end of the play from teammate and left guard Ben Grubbs, who knocked Jones back and slowed him down.
Despite not getting a single sack, Jones pressured the quarterback an impressive five times in his debut in limited snaps, which brings the defense some hope as the Patriots try to get after the quarterback more often after they lost both of their top pass rushers — Andre Carter and Mark Anderson — in the offseason. Carter and Anderson had 20 combined sacks, and while it isn't reasonable to expect a number anywhere near that from Jones in his rookie season, there are still high expectations of getting pressure on the quarterback after a strong introduction against the New Orleans Saints in Week 1 of the preseason.
As Bill Belichick has preached in the past, rushing the passer isn't always about sacks. It's simply about pressuring the quarterback.

About Me
I am Mistress Tara, a sensually and spiritually sadistic Professional Dutch Dominatrix with more than 10 years experience in Europe and Australia.
It is already a long time ago since I first discovered BDSM. Already at a young age, I enjoyed reading books and watching films about power and impotence, pain and love. Although at the time, I was unable to completely identify what it was I was feeling, I began to fantasise about these topics and only later realised that they fell under the heading of BDSM. Toward the end of my teenage years, I began to experiment and discovered that whips, pain and humiliation are my true passion. With the help of my partner and friends, I explored my way in the world of BDSM after which the logical next step was to become a professional Dominatrix.
I first started in the professional world in The Netherlands, at a private location, Vampix, situated in The Hague, which is located in area known as the "Randstad" that is partly in the province of South Holland (Zuid Holland). When in the Netherlands, I highly recommend you visit the Mistresses of Vampix. In the photo gallery are several pictures taken at Vampix showing scenes from sessions, slave days, and parties, and of course some of my colleague Mistresses from the Netherlands. Around mid 2006 I decided it was time to broaden my horizon and I left for Australia. After looking around the BDSM world in Australia, I started my own place in Sydney where I am dedicated to bringing the Dutch scene, and the European style of domination and BDSM, to Oz. I am also committed to helping young starting Dommes to have a safe place to learn and play. I intend to hold slave days and BDSM parties here in Sydney as well. Email me if you have an interest in either of these activities.
Since BDSM is a lifestyle choice for me, I consider it important that both I and the slave boy, respectively slave girl, enjoy the experience. As such if a slave's fantasies are not cohesive with my own preferences, I will redirect him or her to a fellow Mistress who is (more) compatible with their fantasies.
I do not differentiate between male and female slaves; I enjoy playing with both. Also, should a slave desire, I can arrange for a Master, second Mistress or slave girl to participate in our game.
If you would like more information, email me or call. In the event I am unable to take the call, try me again later.

Kings Point is a gated active adult neighborhood in Sun City Center, Florida. The community enjoys convenient golf cart access to the retail and dining establishments in Sun City Center. Kings Point has two private clubhouses, three golf courses and many wonderful activities.
Despite the fact that Kings Point is located within the greater Sun City Center area, it is not directly affiliated with the Sun City Center association. Kings Point has separate legal boundaries, different bylaws and over 100 condo associations. While Sun City Center is primarily comprised of single-family dwellings, most units in Kings Point are attached villas and tend to be newer than units in the original area of Sun City Center.
Since construction of Kings Point began in the early 1970s, retirees from across the country have flocked to the community in search of a warm climate, an active lifestyle and low-maintenance living. The region enjoys 300 days of sunshine a year and a mild three-season climate that makes outdoor activity possible nearly every day of the year.

Specter is the newest course in Kings Point; it is an 18-hole championship course adjacent to the new South Clubhouse. For serious golfers, the courses in Kings Point offer several membership options for residents.
Kings Point Homes & Real Estate
Construction of Kings Point began in the early 1970s. Unlike the adjacent Sun City Center, which offers primarily single-family dwellings, Kings Point is almost entirely comprised of attached villa condos arranged in duplex configurations.

Most homebuyers will search a large variety of resale homes but new construction villas by Minto are currently available for buyers who want more modern floor plans and upgrades.
Buyers can select from housing options that range from intimate 800 square-foot condos to more spacious units with nearly 2,000 square feet. All homes include covered parking that ranges from a one-car carport on older units, or one and two-car garages on newer homes. Buyers searching for bargains will often find that older homes present the lowest prices whereas newer homes or units with golf course and water views sell for a premium.
There are over 100 separate homeowners associations in Kings Point and each association has its own rules and regulations. While all homeowners own their unit, most of the land in Kings Point is considered common. Depending on the association, monthly homeowners dues range from around $350 to over $600.

Our agents are 5 star real estate agents. Going far beyond normal duties to close in 30 days after signing the contract. Our new neighbor on the left welcomed us this first day while our neighbor on the right provided a sit down lunch shortly afterward. The president of Manchester IV oversaw the installation of a humidistat while were back in Kentucky. Everyone we met seemed like old friends.
Looking forward to our first winter as snow birds this October. Hoping to be full time residents soon.
Minto (the builders of our new home) have been very professional and responsive to a small number of concerns. My wife and I could not be more pleased.
The 55places.com web site was a life saver and our real estate agent, informed our decision making process. He showed us around and gave us the ground level local knowledge that led to our happy landing in Kings Point, FL. That is a long way from where we started in California.
