At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
To evaluate fertility issues, function of reproductive organs (ovaries or testicles), or to detect the release of an egg from the ovary (ovulation); to evaluate pituitary function
In children, to evaluate early or delayed sexual maturation (puberty)
When to Get Tested?
For women, when you are having difficulty getting pregnant or are having irregular or heavy menstrual periods; when you are tracking ovulation during your menstrual cycle
For men, when your partner cannot get pregnant or you have a low sperm count, low muscle mass or decreased sex drive
When your healthcare provider thinks that you have symptoms of a pituitary disorder or hypothalamic disorder
When a health practitioner suspects that a child has delayed or earlier than expected sexual maturation
Sample Required?
A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm; sometimes a random urine sample or a 24-hour urine collection may be taken
Test Preparation Needed?
None, but the timing of a woman's sample will be correlated with her menstrual cycle.
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
Luteinizing hormone (LH) is a hormone associated with reproduction and the stimulation of the release of an egg from the ovary (ovulation) in women and testosterone production in men. This test measures the amount of luteinizing hormone in the blood or urine.
LH is produced by the pituitary gland, a grape-sized organ found at the base of the brain. Control of LH production is a complex system involving the hypothalamus in the brain, the pituitary gland, and the hormones produced by the ovaries and testicles.
In premenopausal women, several hormones rise and fall in a specific sequence during each menstrual cycle. During the cycle, LH stimulates ovulation and the production of other hormones, estradiol and progesterone.
Womens' menstrual cycles are divided into follicular and luteal phases, with each phase lasting about 14 days. Near the end of the follicular phase, there is a mid-cycle surge of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and LH. This surge triggers ovulation, causing the rupture of the egg follicle on the ovary and the release of the egg.
During the luteal phase, the site where the egg follicle ruptured becomes a "corpus luteum." LH secretion stimulates the corpus luteum to start producing progesterone. FSH and LH levels decline, while progesterone and estradiol concentrations increase. These hormone levels decrease in turn after several days if the egg is not fertilized. Menstruation starts and when it ends, the cycle begins again.
As a woman ages and menopause approaches, ovarian function wanes and eventually ceases. As this occurs, FSH and LH levels rise.
In men, LH stimulates Leydig cells in the testicles to produce testosterone. LH levels are relatively constant in men after puberty. A high testosterone level provides negative feedback to the pituitary gland and the hypothalamus, thus decreasing the amount of LH secreted.
In infants and children, LH levels rise shortly after birth and then fall to very low levels (by 6 months in boys and 1-2 years in girls). At about 6-8 years, levels again rise before the beginning of puberty and the development of secondary sexual characteristics.
How is the sample collected for testing?
A blood sample is taken by needle from a vein in the arm or a random urine sample is used. A 24-hour collection of urine may be requested if a health practitioner wants to measure LH levels produced over a 24-hour period. LH is released intermittently throughout the day; thus, a random sample may not reflect a true reading. A 24-hour urine can eliminate this variation.
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
No test preparation is needed, but a woman's sample should be collected at specific times during her menstrual cycle.

I'm sexy and I know it! Amr Diab rocks the night away with naked Greek women
Celebrities and their scandals never end, and sometimes that's the real entertainment for us! Amr Diab is the latest celeb in the hot seat, as a video of him holding a concert with naked women surfaced all over the internet.
The video was filmed in Greece where Diab is currently filming his latest music video. Scenes in the video angered fans, as dancing with naked women does not go with the Arab culture and traditions.
Amr arrived to the Nammos Club in Mykonos by boat at around 1am, where hundreds of millionaire adoring fans were waiting for him. Naked men and Women painted in gold and drinking out of oversized 15-liter EUR 120,000 champagne bottles were dancing the night away to Diab's most-popular hits.
The singer was largely criticized by fans as he secretly held the concert without announcing it on his official FB and Twitter pages, as he usually does.
Fans expected Diab to cancel his concert in support to his fellow Egyptian people, who are going through a very tough time during the political unsuitability that's hit the country. Many Arab singers have already cancelled planned parties and concerts for that same reason.
Do you think it was wrong of Amr to secretly go ahead with his concert and dance around with naked women?
Top Headlines
I too was at the concert standing right in front of the stage and I must have missed the naked men and women dancing with Amr. That is completely untrue and you shold be ashamed to propagate such rumours and tarnish the good name of an artist. yes, there were female models painted in gold paind (and topless - how outragous to do that in Europe and on one of the most progressive / extravagant party island !!!) ... But the odels were there to promote the exclusive champagne that Nammos chose to promote that evening. But Amr was not part of this promotion nor did he engage in any of the dancing... he was not evene anywhere near this promotional activities.
Also, this concert was a private affair as Amr Diab can be booked for private events... Still, the ticket sale was partially open to the public and this concert was and still is in Amr's event calendar on his website amrdiab.net. Also, it was publicized on Facebook (i dont use twitter so i cannot tell you).
Therefore, your account of htis event is hugely distorted and diminishes the credibility of your website and its content....
Hi Lara, thanks for your comments. I added mine too... and I agree with yut. I was there... do you have any video clips and / or pix ? I have many but none with me inthem :-( And i was right in the front of the satge , even got up on to the stage towards the end ... thanks, tom (firstname.lastname@example.com)

Third-quarter slump spells disaster for Sultan boys
Anacortes beats the Turks 65-43 in 2A District 1/2 loser-out game
But in the third quarter it all fell apart.
Ahead by just three points at halftime, Anacortes held Sultan to only one field goal in the third quarter to open up a 19-point lead en route to a 65-43 win in a 2A District 1/2 consolation semifinal game at Mount Vernon H.S. on Wednesday night.
The loss ended Sultan's season. Anacortes advanced to a winner-to-regional game against Sehome on Friday.
Sultan went 1-for-11 from the field and turned the ball over seven times in the third quarter and Anacortes seemed to score at will. The Seahawks outscored the Turks 20-4 in the quarter.
"The ball didn't go in the hoop," said Sultan head coach Nate Trichler. "And I think the ball not going in the hoop hurt our confidence on the defensive end. It was an uphill battle and you could see the kids' eyes change a little bit."
Anacortes held Sultan's Brock VandenEkart, who had 10 points before halftime, to just one free throw in the quarter and frustrated the Turks star wing with a number of double teams.
"They sent an early double (on VandenEkart) in the second half and that just took the ball out of his hand a little bit," Trichler said. "But he still had his shots in the key and I just wish they had fallen for the kid."
In the first half Sultan came out on fire, hitting five of its first seven shots to open up an 11-6 lead. Anacortes didn't take its first lead until midway through the second quarter on a Sam D'Amelio 3-pointer. But a VandenEkart 3-pointer helped Sultan retake the lead and from there it was back-and-forth until another D'Amelio 3-pointer at the buzzer gave Anacortes a 29-26 lead.
Cooper Beucherie and Robbie Rappuhn each scored eight points for Sultan. Sam Cotterill had seven rebounds and three steals and Antonio Rivas had eight rebounds for the Turks.
Trichler said he's sad to see the season end and more so that it was the last game for a trio of seniors, including VandenEkart.
"Well the seniors love them to death," Trichler said of VandenEkart, Steven Branham and Sam Cotterill. "They worked their butts off for four years for me. Brock has been on varsity for four years and it's going to be weird to go to summer camp without him. We're so used to leaning on him."
At Mount Vernon H.S.
Sultan 16 10 4 13 -- 43
Anacortes 12 17 20 16 -- 65
Sultan--Robbie Rappuhn 8, Steven Branham 2, Joe Schmidt 0, Kolton Anderson 0, Brock VandenEkart 17, Jordan Alexander 0, Cooper Beucherie 8, Sam Cotterill 2, Antonio Rivas 2, Deion Bonilla 4. Anacortes--Matt Aldridge 11, Ty Johnson 6, Jordan Neville 0, Daniel McInerney 0, AJ Yost 5, Sam D'Amelio 13, Alex Luevanos 2, Andrew Medalia 12, Billy King 13, Joe D'Amelio 3. 3-point goals--S. D'Amelio 3, Rappuhn 2, VandenEkart 2, J. D'Amelio 1. Records--Sultan 11-12 overall. Anacortes 18-5.

What could be one of the most significant events in recent New Albany and Union County history occurred this week when proposed new flood plain maps were delivered to the county.
Large amounts of low-lying land in the county, including land bordering the Tallahatchie River, have been added to Zone A Wetlands, a designation that requires the purchase of flood insurance.
Existing development would be grandfathered in and flood insurance could be obtained at a cheaper rate for some period of time, according to Mildred Churchill, 911 director and flood plain manager. The designation could greatly impede development because getting a permit for development, and the accompanying insurance, would become much more difficult and expensive.
As we understand it, the designation also could make sale of existing houses and businesses much harder.
New Albany areas most severely affected by the change include many of the businesses (including the Gazette) along Carter Avenue, businesses near the Union County Co-Op building on Bankhead Street, and the New Albany Sportsplex and its proposed expansion. Much of the flat land proposed for development east of the former Safari's restaurant also is included in the flood plain.
The updated maps are an outgrowth of problems that became apparent during Hurricane Katrina. A public hearing on the maps, which are available to see in the Chancery Court building, will be conducted in November. Unless engineers can be shown that errors have been made, the maps will stand as drawn.
State and federal emergency management agencies require that Union County and the cities of New Albany, Blue Springs and Myrtle approve the maps.
These new flood plain designations, while probably necessary, potentially can be a major blow to existing and proposed development in our area.
It's certainly not pleasant news in the current economy.

In 2047, an unknown, alien lifeform descends upon the Earth, destroying all the major cities in one fell swoop. The survivors unite and build a Diffusor to stop the Februus, the invaders the military would later codename the FOS, and a temporary peace is achieved.
Jump forward to 2053, the present. A last, desperate counterattack is being mounted against the enemy. Hiroshi Akishima, soldier in the Planetary Defense Forces Alliance, would like nothing better than a shot at the aliens responsible for his father's death six years ago. However, the new offensive requires the Diffusor to be dropped, leaving the entire planet terribly vulnerable once more. Will humanity regain the stars or lose everything in the final, ultimate gamble?

On this forum I see a lot of discussion concerning how one can be sure about who or what to put faith behind. It would seem that, since the many branches of science have become so vast and complex, no one person—no matter how bright and well educated—can possibly know all they need to know with independently-derived certainty. For instance, no one really questions basics such as the sun being approximately 93,000,000 miles from Earth. At least no one I know has ever decided to take it upon themselves to become conversant with every branch of science that would enable them to verify the distance between Earth and the sun. Maybe my example isn't very good, but the point is that it's essential that we take many claims on faith.
From polls I've heard about—if I take the reports of their results on good faith—it would appear that the majority of Americans consider the Bible to be a collection of God-inspired tracts. For instance, according to a recent article written by Bill Moyers (Minneapolis Star Tribune, 1-30-05), ". . .59% of Americans believe that the prophecies found in the book of Revelations are going to come true."
Of course, these same Americans also take plenty of scientific claims as being true when they're asserted with proper authority. It would appear that many people hold conflicting positions in their heads as being "true," without losing any sleep over it. As much as the word "truth" is thrown around these days, few people seem to care excessively about actually discovering it, in a literal sense. I know I don't. I understand that a theory can be validated or invalidated but never properly known as "truth" in much of a literal sense. This was Popper's stance, as I read him.
As to who or what one can put faith behind, I'd say that America—or at least certain geographical regions of America—seems to slightly prefer putting faith behind the local pastor over the local scientist. Why? It's probably a matter of salesmanship.
I choose to put my faith behind scientists' claims, generally speaking, over religion instructors'. Why? Because I don't trust salesmen. I trust historians over pastors, who often ignore history. I trust in the methodologies and self-correcting world of science to the point that I don't even care if theories cannot be proven with absolute certainty. They are useful because they allow us to set up data-collection frameworks designed to predict and manipulate nature. Among other things, they allow our technology to function with reliability.
The strength of scientific theory is its tentativeness. Most pastors I've come across (but not all) are anything but tentative. Jerry Falwell doesn't often use words such as "it appears that," or "I may be wrong here," or I really don't know the answer." But scientists—the smartest ones at least—don't hesitate to use such words when a tentative approach is called for.

Interactions with Drugs
Hormone replacement therapy and cholestyramine may reduce zinc excretion in the urine. Amiloride (Midamor®) reduces urinary zinc excretion and increases zinc blood levels. Theoretically, concurrent use of amiloride with zinc supplementation could cause zinc toxicity. Chlorthalidone (Hygroton®) may increase serum zinc levels.
Caffeine and alcohol may decrease zinc concentrations. Birth control pills, loop and thiaide diurectics may decrease zinc absorption.
Deferoxamine (Desferal®) increases urinary zinc elimination. Captopril (Capoten®) and enalapril (Vasotec®) might increase urinary zinc excretion in patients with high blood pressure. Data on other ACE- inhibitor (ACEIs) drugs is lacking. The clinical consequence of urinary zinc loss in patients with high blood pressure is unknown.
Zinc sulfate may interact with carbenoxolone analog (BX24).
Supplementation with zinc has the potential to improve the efficacy of oral cholera vaccine in children.
Zinc may interact with LDL, HDL lipoproteins, and triglycerides, reducing HDL "good" cholesterol levels. Use cautiously with cholesterol medications, due to possible additive effects.
Zinc may increase the cytotoxicity of cisplatin (Platinol- AQ®) when in the presence of the chelate ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), as compared to cisplatin treatment alone.
Zinc may decrease the absorption of erythromycin. However, in a study comparing erythromycin with and without added zinc, the results showed a significant reduction in severity and number of acne vulgaris lesions (including inflamed lesions) in the zinc treated group compared to those taking erythromycin alone.
Zinc may decrease the effectiveness of fluoroquinolone antibiotics (e.g. Cipro®). Zinc decreases the absorption and serum levels of demeclocycline, minocycline, and tetracycline due to zinc binding. Doxycycline does not seem interact with zinc. Penicillamine (Cuprimine®) chelates zinc and can reduce the effects of supplemental zinc. Dosing time should be separated by at least two hours.
Zinc may improve both insulin secretion and insulin sensitivity and may exert insulin- like effects. Use cautiously with diabetes medications.
High amounts of zinc may result in the prevention of interferon release, and interact with Interferon Alfa- 2B (Intron A®).
Pancreatic enzyme replacements may improve absorption of zinc compared to pancreatic insufficiency.
Zinc supplementation has been shown to alter thyroid hormone metabolism in disabled patients with zinc deficiency.
Interactions with Herbs and Dietary Supplements
Zinc may interact with LDL, HDL lipoproteins, and triglycerides, reducing HDL "good" cholesterol levels. Use cautiously with herbs and supplements taken for cholesterol, due to possible additive effects.
Zinc may interfere with copper metabolism. However, one study indicates no detrimental effects of zinc on plasma copper levels in healthy volunteers over a period of six weeks.
Non- heme iron may decrease zinc absorption. Non- heme iron and zinc compete for a common absorption pathway in the gut. However, when iron and zinc are taken with food, this interaction is not likely to occur. When taken with food, zinc absorption is facilitated by proteins in food through an alternate pathway that does not compete with iron. Protein- bound heme iron (found in red meats) does not seem to affect zinc absorption.
Zinc supplementation has been shown to alter thyroid hormone metabolism in disabled patients with zinc deficiency.
Zinc may intereact with herbs and supplements that contain caffeine or have blood pressure- altering, antibiotic, hormonal, diabetic, hypoglycemic, or diuretic effects.

First time to Capri? Here's some basic information to get you started!
Island of Capri
- 10km squared: The total area of the island
- 2 towns: Capri (7292 inhabitants) Anacapri (6733 inhabitants)
How much do hotels cost on Capri
The number of people who visit
Capri each year
The number of people who
spend at least one night
on the island
The number of people who arrive
daily on the island in August
Distance between the main airports and Capri
- 45 km from Naples
- 292 km from Rome Fiumicino
Wherever your plane lands, you'll need to reach the port of Naples from where hydrofoils to Capri depart.
If you land in Rome, bear in mind that the journey from Rome to Capri is not a short one.
You'll need at least 4 hours from the time you land.
If your plane lands in the afternoon, consider staying the night in Rome or Naples and continuing your journey to Capri the next morning.
On request, all hotels will organize a private car and boat transfer to the port of Naples and greeting service at the port of Capri: a stress-free and, if your travelling in a small group, suprisingly economic way of getting to the island.
- How long does it take to get to Capri?
- 25 minutes From the port of Sorrento

NYC campus gets US patent officer
Tuesday - 10/2/2012, 6:27pm EDT
By JENNIFER PELTZ
Associated Press
NEW YORK (AP) - A new technology graduate school aimed at smoothing the path between research and entrepreneurship can boast a new distinction: the country's first on-campus patent officer, officials announced Tuesday.
A U.S. Patent and Trademark Office staffer already is working at the Cornell NYC Tech applied sciences school's temporary locale at Google's Manhattan office, where the school is set to enroll its first class next year.
The patent office has recently unveiled plans for satellite offices in places ranging from Detroit to California's Silicon Valley. But the "innovation and outreach coordinator" at Cornell NYC Tech is a novel effort to help innovators on campus _ and in the city at large _ get advice on capitalizing on their ideas, Acting U.S. Commerce Secretary Rebecca Blank and patent office Director David Kappos said.
"For the first time, by stationing personnel on the ground of a major graduate research institution, the USPTO will tear down the walls between university research and the federal support that has the power to help move that research from the lab to the marketplace," Kappos said at a news conference.
The staffer may consult one-on-one and give classes on such topics as how to best to write a patent application, what financial help might be available and what commercial strategy to pursue, Blank said.
Beyond advice on navigating the nuts and bolts of entrepreneurship, the plan aims to foster discussion on one of tech's touchy subjects: the balance between protecting intellectual property and fostering the public benefits of innovation, such as making computer code publicly available for others to adapt and build on.
"That dialogue is something that the United States has to have," Cornell President David J. Skorton said. "This is a conduit for the U.S. government to be working directly with the innovation community ... to figure out: What's the right place for intellectual property in one of the areas of our economy that's growing like crazy right now?"
Cornell and the Commerce Department will share the staff and administrative costs, the agency said; a figure wasn't immediately available.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg's administration has been striving to cast New York City as an up-and-coming competitor to Silicon Valley, partly by offering free land and an estimated $100 million worth of infrastructure improvements to lure a state-of-the-art applied-sciences school. Cornell and the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology won a competition that drew seven proposals last year.
About 20 students are to be admitted to the first class in a master's degree program that starts in January in the current space, donated by Mountain View, Calif.-based Google Inc. The school's permanent home on Roosevelt Island, now a mostly residential enclave on the East River, is to open in 2017.

Eric Dishman:
Health care should be a team sport
When Eric Dishman was in college, doctors told him he had 2 to 3 years to live. That was a long time ago. Now, Dishman puts his experience and his expertise as a medical tech specialist together to suggest a bold idea for reinventing health care — by putting the patient at the center of a treatment team.

RACINE — The fourth annual Racine Party in the Park will kick off on Sept. 12, running through Sept. 14.
This year will feature three nights of musical entertainment, with national recording artists set to perform on Friday and Saturday.
County chart topper Randy Houser will be the featured entertainment on Saturday evening, taking the stage at 9 p.m.
Country/rock group Parmalee will be the featured entertainment for Friday evening.
Houser is a man refreshed. "I don't know how it happened, but everything in my life has started lining up," says the Lake, Mississippi native. "I must have done somebody right in the past."
Those positive vibes of renewal ripple through Houser's newest single "Runnin' Outta Moonlight" and "How Country Feels," his first radio No. 1 and Gold® certified title track from Stoney Creek Records debut, How Country Feels, which hit stores on Tuesday, January 22, 2013. The title track was his fastest-rising single to-date on the country radio charts and sparked a wildfire of accolades and media appearances. "It was the obvious choice for a lead-off," Houser says of "How Country Feels." "It caught my ear the first time I heard it — like, 'I wanna hear that again.'"
Houser's past contains no shortage of achievement, as it includes multiple nominations for ACM and CMA Awards, a No. 2 single in the form of "Boots On," and songwriting credits for major names such as Trace Adkins, Justin Moore and Chris Young. In 2008 — mere months after the release of his debut single,"Anything Goes" — Houser was even asked by David Letterman himself to appear on the Late Show. The singer's first full-length, Anything Goes, came out later that year, followed in 2010 by They Call Me Cadillac which spawned hit "Whistlin' Dixie," and fan-favorite "A Man Like Me."
New tracks on How Country Feels echo the single's sunny self-assurance, including "We're Just Growing Younger" and"Along for the Ride," which Houser co-wrote with Zac Brown. "We were playing a festival and I just had this song rolling around in my head," Houser remembers of the latter. "I stayed up till about 5 in the morning but then got stuck. So I called up Zac and we went on his bus and knocked it out of the park."
After Midnight will open for Houser beginning at 6:45 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 14.
Parmalee is a Country Rock band hailing from Greenville, North Carolina. The band's name was derived from the tiny, southern town of Parmele, NC, located a couple miles from their hometown, where they started creating music together in a small barn known as Studio B.
Parmalee consists of lead singer and guitarist Matt Thomas, bassist and vocalist Barry Knox (Matt and Scott Thomas' cousin), Josh McSwain (lead guitar, vocals, and friend), and drummer Scott Thomas (Matt's brother).
The group has recently made the country charts with songs "Musta Had a Good Time" and "Carolina."
South of the River Band will open for Parmalee on Friday night.
In addition to musical entertainment, there will be a car show, 5k race and parade.
First, second and third place awards will be given in the following parade categories: floats, antique vehicles, walking units, bicycles, doggy parade (dressed in party attire), school bands, antique tractors and horses.
Line up for the parade will begin at 9 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 14 at Southern High School, with the parade beginning at 10 a.m.

Now that the name is pretty much set, let's focus on getting people to the games.
Here's my take. Benson wants the team to appeal to all of Louisiana, so Brass and Krewe went out the window. Hey Benson, the rest of Louisiana sucks and gives $200 speeding tickets for going 5 mph over. Do Brass you fool!
Now I'm in the angry phase.
Now that the name is pretty much set, let's focus on getting people to the games.

Pumpkin Pie Truffles
Purely Delicious Truffles Drenched In Dark Belgian Chocolate Taste Just Like Pumpkin Pie
Pumpkin Pie Truffles
Purely Delicious Truffles Drenched In Dark Belgian Chocolate Taste Just Like Pumpkin Pie
Pumpkin Pie Truffles 7 7
An unsweetened, canned pumpkin taste Although the Belgian chocolate taste was good, we found the taste and texture of the filling rather "odd". To us, it tasted like unsweetened, undercooked, canned pumpkin pie filling - as opposed to a more "candied" sweet taste we were expecting in a truffle. Also, the filling's texture at room temperature has kind of a raw squishiness to it. After firming the truffles up in the refrigerator, they improved a bit. While some people may like them, we were disappointed in their "too real" taste and texture, and only ate a couple of them. January 31, 2014
Suggestion It would be better to have white chocolate instead regular chocolate. They might go better together. December 14, 2013
Love these! I love these...they are like a little bit of pumpkin pie (sort of a vegetable, right?) wrapped with dark chocolate (healthy, right?) so how can you go wrong! I just reordered. October 27, 2013
A real fall treat The pumpkin truffles were delightful. They were rich and creamy but not oversweet. A great combination of dark chocolate and pumpkin. October 24, 2013
pumpkin pie truffles pumpkin pie flavor and chocolate not good together. October 17, 2013
Perfect blend I sampled several different truffle flavors (Vermont maple, pumpkin, cheesecake) at a dinner party I recently attended. Unlike some truffles that overwhelm the taste buds with chocolate, these were a perfect blend of the filling favor and chocolate. These Vermont Truffles will definitely be on my list of Christmas gifts this year! October 5, 2013
You Must Try These! I have tried these truffles, and the ad doesn't lie. They really do taste just like pumpkin pie! Oh, wait, they taste better than pumpkin pie! The dark, rich, Belgian Chocolate shell adds another layer of flavor that is exceptional. You must try these! And, anyone receiving these as a gift, will want to know where they can get some more. Bravo to this husband and wife team! I am hooked ... September 17, 2013

The only item I am displeased with is the 3 hole cup holder piece. I is not really formed, just and overlay stuck on. That area gets a lot of use . That part should go down the sides and a little inside the cup area.

Home of the BTM JTA Transaction Manager
The Bitronix Transaction Manager (BTM) is a simple but complete implementation of the JTA 1.0.1B API. The goal is to provide a fully working XA transaction manager that provides all services required by the JTA API while trying to keep the code as simple as possible for easier understanding of the XA semantics. This is BTM's strongest point compared to its competitors: when something goes wrong it is much easier to figure out what to do thanks to the great care placed in useful error reporting and logging.
During these past months we have been busy migrating BTM to the Codehaus. This is one of the reasons why development stalled recently.
BTM version 1.0 is about to be released. The code is nearly ready but requires an extra bit of incubation before we can safely release it.
This is the home page for the Bitronix Transaction Manager space. Content of the http://www.bitronix.be/ website related to BTM will progressively be migrated here.

I am a comfortable person around the house but when I decide to "take off" from home I want to get going quickly. Powder your nose, place your Vikki wig in place .. pick it out a little and don't forget your lipstick! Awesome wig for on the go comfort and speed. It's dependable for style and comfort. Love it! It's a little warm for me during Texas summer but not unbearable.

Have been a customer of Paula Young's for several years and have ordered several of the VIKKI wigs, which I loved. However, I've found it necessary to return the last 4 and will not be ordering it again, because it's not the same as it used to be. The "new" Vikki is now made in Bangladesh. It used to be made in Indonesia. With this change came a big change in the quality - now it's too short, even for a pixie style, and the hair is barely fastened to the wefting - way too thin and although I've always worn the average size, these last wigs practically sat on top of my head, even with the tabs set back as far as they would go. Maybe heads are smaller in Bangladesh. It was my favorite wig - now I wonder what changes I would find if I'd go to another style. I've spent a lot of money on PY wigs, but now I'm almost afraid to order from Paula Young again, because I hate having to return things! Very disappointed! I sent an email to customer service with my concerns, and never received any kind of reply or even acknowledgement. As of now, I'm a very unhappy customer.....

The Real Thing
By Red

About Me Beauty Conscious
Comments about Vikki WhisperLite® Wig by Paula Young®:
I purchased this wig, my first, due to being ill and my hair thinning greatly! NO ONE, not even my husband, knew I was wearing a wig. If I do not tell people, they think I got a new and awesome hair style. I am a natural redhead, and this just looks like I got my own hair highlighted. Love it so much, I just ordered a 2nd as a back up. Hoping by giving my hair a break, it will come back stronger!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Happy with product
By Cate
from Texas
I have received so many complements with the Vikki wig. Sometimes I say it is a wig. People can not believe it. I have two. Thinking of going yo three. I wear the hair flat on the top.

I have bought several colors of this wig
By cjpmpd
from Marion, Illinois
For me, this is an everyday wig. I work at a call center & wear a phone headset all day long. No interference with this wig. Don't have to worry about it coming off when I take the headset off. Very cool in the summer. NO ONE that I work with realizes I wear a wig. This has been the best by far and when I change the color, they truly believe I've just "colored" my hair.

Family can't tell!
By Texas Nana
from San Antonio, Tx area
I'm 72, and cut my mostly silver, thin, fine hair into a pixie about a year agoand it suits my lifestyle. However a difficult to control cowlick in the crown/back area was driving me crazy. I bought this wig so as to always have a perfect pixie and it is! I wore it 4 times before I told my husband and family that it was a wig and they were stunned; today I wore it to get a pedicure at my hair salon and although my regular stylist wasn't there I got compliments on it from two other stylists....I didn't say a word, except "thank you". It is very comfortable, fits well, and looks very natural. I got #56 color which blends with my hair color perfectly. While I won't wear this wig all day, every day, because I'm outside a lot with dogs and plants, when my hair needs to look "salon perfect" I have the solution.

Vikki is my favorite
By Cat Lady

I have brown naturally curly hair but very thin on top. Wiglets do not work. Vikki's longer nape blends perfectly with my color but still has the short look.

bootstrap button shortcode - how to add javascript to the link=""?
Posted 19 October 2012 - 04:10 PM
[pl_button type="success" size="large" link=" target="blank"]Launch Tour[/pl_button]
That basic scenario works well enough, but what I'd really like this newly created button to do is something more complex. I'd like it to act just like this regular text link I've created:
temp launch tour link
The question is how do I get the onclick info into the bootstrap button shortcode? Will the javascript:void(0) portion work as the replacement link="xxx"?
Thank you,
Posted 20 October 2012 - 02:21 AM
I'm not convinced you can add javascript like that within a shortcode.
What's the purpose of this onclick action? What function does it perform?
Posted 03 November 2012 - 01:08 AM
Hi Rob, sorry for the late reply! I need to understand better how to follow these topics (got it now) .. as I thought I was receiving updates on replies, but evidently not.
To answer your question, the purpose of the onclick action is to call some javascript code that I've pasted into the Headerscripts Code that essentially says "open a new window at these sizes and at this location on the screen" so as to display our virtual tours from the portfolio (and portfolio detail) pages. The code I pasted is this:
We have dozens of tours and some of them open at different sizes to be ideal, and so I wanted that control. Doing this from a text link is no problem, but of course the buttons look much better, so I was hoping to do it within the PL templates. Ultimately I will hand this off to my client, to edit and implement new/future tours, so I was hoping that there was a way I could teach him without having to dig into too much code.
Perhaps there is another way?
Many thanks again,
Posted 04 November 2012 - 11:23 AM
You won't be able to add javascript to the button shortcode. However, you could try using the Bootstrap HTML code for the button and add your javascript that why instead.
Visit the buttons page on Bootstrap for the HTML code -

Which is the best kind of tropical island holiday? One where you lie on the same spot of the beach every day, read a couple of paperbacks, barely leave your lounger and pay exorbitant prices for imported water? Or one with benefits that last well after the tan has faded? Where you come back feeling re-energised, reinvigorated, re-inspired and re-ignited?
For those who tick the second box, LUX* Island Resorts launches this December at three hotels on Mauritius, one in the Maldives and one on Ile de La Réunion. The new brand, which replaces Naïade Resorts Ltd, represents the complete re-launch of the Company and the culmination of an intensive twelve months of painstaking preparation and rehearsal.
CEO Paul Jones, a passionate hotelier and travel industry expert, was previously a key member of the team responsible for launching the highly aspirational One&Only brand. When he took over the fading Naïade Resorts group in late 2010, he and his management team saw an opportunity to create something truly unique in its place. They recognised that luxury itself had undergone a sea change: no longer synonymous with excess and bling, true luxury has become simpler, fresher and more individual.
Inspired by this change, it was agreed that rather than offering the standard sun, sea and sand 5-star vacation, LUX* Island Resorts would be defined by an experience that had been entirely and radically re-conceptualised.
The manifestation of this change is Island Light, the signature concept that will run at all LUX* Island Resorts. Adopting a name which is Latin for light, the new brand is dedicated to staging a lighter, brighter and less complicated holiday experience. Jones compares the concept to a musical production, where each resort is a theatre and its staff is the cast producing a show-stopping performance every day.
At its core is the commitment to doing the ordinary extraordinarily. Freshly-roasted organic coffee, retro-styled ice-cream parlours, on-the-beach film screenings, pop-up restaurants, integrated wellness & spa programmes, honesty bars and libraries of cool magazines are individually tempting, but it is the cumulative impact of these and a whole raft of other carefully choreographed Island Light experiences – underpinned by truly incredible service – which adds up to an exhilarating change of direction within the 'sea of sameness' that most resorts offer.
LUX* recognises that it is the audience – the guests – who count most and Jones is confident that this new brand of simpler, more relaxed and more individual luxury – underpinned with truly incredible service – will have wide appeal: "I have spent 35 years designing, building, operating and managing resorts in exotic destinations around the world", says Jones, "this project has presented me with an opportunity to contribute all that knowledge and insight. We are doing more than simply changing the name of the Company or putting a new brand on our hotels. Island Light is the summation of many different ingredients, which when experienced as a whole are a very powerful alternative to the usual island resort holiday. LUX* has determined its purpose as 'Helping People Celebrate Life' and that is what every member of our team is committed to and has pledged to deliver".
About LUX* Island Resorts
LUX* Island Resorts is a collection of premium hotels in the Indian Ocean where guests can celebrate island life and enjoy light living; it is the new name and consumer brand for the luxury hotels previously operated under the "Naïade Luxury Resorts" umbrella. The five resorts in the LUX* portfolio are LUX* Belle Mare, Mauritius (formerly Beau Rivage); LUX* Le Morne, Mauritius (formerly Les Pavillons); LUX* Grand Gaube, Mauritius (formerly Legends); LUX* Maldives (formerly Diva) and LUX* Ile de la Réunion (formerly Grand Hôtel du Lagon).
The remaining properties previously operated by "Naïade Resorts" will be part of the "Produced by" LUX* Island Resorts portfolio. These resorts will continue to be known as Tamassa, Bel Ombre, Mauritius; Merville Beach, Grand Baie, Mauritius and Hôtel Le Récif, Ile de la Réunion as well as Ile des Deux Cocos, Mauritius, a private paradise island.
In a world where time is precious, each moment matters, experiences and emotions are more valuable than material things. The brand's Island Light concept is inspired by the nature, culture, flavours and wares of island life, presenting a true taste of Mauritius, La Réunion and the Maldives. Clear rather than cluttered, free rather than formal, spontaneous rather than predictable, LUX* Island Resorts are simpler and fresher, lightening, brightening and heightening the island resort concept.

|Therese Montanari Receives the Sertoman of the Year Award
Therese Montanari had no clue Tuesday that her St. Petersburg Sertoma Club lunch meeting would include an extra special moment on the agenda.
The Director of Speech Language Pathology and Audiology at All Children's Hospital was simply enjoying another weekly gathering of the club she's been integrally involved with for the past 10 years.
But the business at hand inside 400 Beach Seafood & Tap House in downtown St. Petersburg suddenly focused on Therese herself - and in a big way.
"I was completely surprised," she said Wednesday, back in her bustling, second-floor office at the new Child Development and Rehabilitation Center on campus. "I had no idea it was coming."

- Miami's 84 points were a new season high, topping the previous best of 82 against Illinois-Chicago on Dec. 22. The RedHawks have topped the 70-point mark in all five of their wins this season, while falling below that number in each of the seven losses.
- Miami dished out 19 assists on its 25 field goals against the Quakers. Will Sullivan tallied a career-high four assists, while Reggie Johnson tied his best with three. Quinten Rollins led the RedHawks with seven helpers, the fourth time this season that he has tallied at least that number.
