Vote For ACM New Artist Of The Year
The Academy of Country Music is giving fans the chance to vote for the best new country artist of the year.
The Academy of Country Music is giving fans the chance to vote for the best new country artist of the year.
Votes have been tallied, and the top three finalists for 2014 ACM New Artist of the Year have been announced!
Bob Kingsley recently counted down the Top Country Radio Songs of 2013. On a special edition of his Sunday Morning Country Top 40 Show he revealed the most played songs on Country Radio determined by Media Base.
Country Radio Seminar (CRS) officials have announced which country music newcomers will show off their talents as the CRS 2014 New Faces of Country Music Show performers.
Dierks Bentley's 2013 Miles and Music for Kids charity event was already star-studded with Jake Owen and Easton Corbin as special guests. Now, it's gearing up to be a roaring good time, as he's nabbed Luke Bryan and Brett Eldredge to join in on the festivities.
It's official: the 2013 CMA Awards nominations are in, and Brett Eldredge and Kip Moore are counted among the country stars who have a reason to celebrate. This year, Eldredge and Moore were honored with their first ever CMA nominations.
After jumping out of a plane in celebration of his first No. 1 single, 'Don't Ya,' Brett Eldredge feels ready to do anything. So, he's embarking on what most new artists only dream of: A headlining tour.
For 20 minutes on Thursday night (May 16), Brett Eldredge owned the crowd that was still trickling into Houston's Toyota Center to see perhaps the biggest tour of the year -- Taylor Swift's 2013 Red Tour. It was a short set for the country newcomer, but like he did at each of the other 18 shows he played with the superstar, he maxed out every second, walking onstage armed with ammo given to him by his grandfather and Swift herself.
It was another impressive win for Brett Eldredge and his new single 'Don't Ya' yesterday on the Showdown. The singer's fans united online to topple 'Jesse James' by Clay Walker, and then flooded the phone lines at Taste of Country Nights radio to stamp an exclamation point on the victory. The catchy new hit will face another established superstar today.
Brett Eldredge rocks WGNA's Countryfest 2011, getting a crowd of about 30,000 roaring.
WGNA Countryfest 2011 is just 17 short days away! One of the starts in this year's lineup is Warner Brothers recording artists Brett Eldredge.
One of the artists for our WGNA Countryfest 2011 line up is Brett Eldredge.

NEW ORLEANS -- It's an $8 billion program, and now, the Louisiana Recovery Authority estimates that as many as one in three people who received Road Home grants still have not rebuilt their homes.
The legislative committee that will take over when the LRA sunsets in June asked some tough questions about the Road Home Program Wednesday, and why for some, it may be more than a five-year journey.
FEMA trailers were supposed to be temporary homes for the victims of hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
But nearly five years after the storms, the LRA estimates there are still a 1,000 people living in FEMA trailers, mostly in Orleans and St. Bernard parishes.
'That is a disturbing number. That is people who did not have the resources in hand to rebuild, or its people who did have the resources but were victims of contractor fraud, some family fraud or some friend fraud,' said LRA Executive Director Robin Keegan.
Some of them already received Road Home grants. In fact, the LRA and demographer Greg Rigamer estimate that one out of every three people who received Road Home grants still aren't back in their homes.
'We know that in Orleans Parish and St. Bernard, we have serious, serious problems. We are not rebuilt. We have properties that have been untouched since the day of the storm,' Keegan said.
'Shocking to me. When you drive around, it's not shocking to me. There are a lot of things in St. Bernard Parish that haven't been done,' said Rep. Reed Henderson, D-Violet.
State lawmakers also questioned the cost of administering the program. The state is paying two contractors. First, the controversial company ICF, and now a company called HGI will receive a total of $750 million to run the Road Home by the end of this year.
Keegan argues it's a massive program that's labor-intensive.
In fact, nearly five years after the storms, 2,300 people still have yet to close on their grants.
'We are talking about a big program, but still when you spend $8 billion dollars and you have one out of every three people that can't move back into their home, you have to say, what's going on here,' said Rep. Neil Abramson, D-New Orleans.
More than 5,700 of the Road Home's original grant recipients have already reached their three-year covenant of when they were supposed to be done rebuilding.
By the end of this year, 80% of recipients will reach that three-year mark.
Now, the Road Home will begin tracking compliance, and either help homeowners finally rebuild with the billion dollars left over in the program, or get the grant money back from those who have no intention of rebuilding.
In two weeks, the LRA will begin sending out letters to those 5,700 homeowners who've reached the three year mark to find out exactly how many of them are back in their homes, or are never coming home.

do you "feel" pregnant? i knew with my 1st i was for sure but this time i dont feel it. i guess i am looking for some hope!
IF you got your BFP....
Comments (6)
with AF i would get the cramps and mild backache and sore boobs but when i was pregnant i felt the conception, that day i was so nausious and thats not something i normally feel so i knew. then about 2wks of feeling ok then it started again and i tested and got a BFP.
Have you tested yet?
I knew something was up when I peed my pants a little because I couldn't unzip my pants and sit down on the toilet fast enough. haha
I tested and it was +
With my first, the only early symptom I had was period cramps a few days before AF was due, which was abnormal for me, and later that week I got my BFP a few days after AF was due.
With this one I feel fine so far...no major symptoms to speak of. A few days after I got my BFP I had slightly tender nipples, but no cramps this time (maybe just a few twinges). I'm a little more bloated than normal too.
I am 5 weeks and it kind of makes me a little nervous having little/no symptoms...but I know most people say their symptoms start around 6 weeks, so I guess I'll just hang in there and see
Everything seemed different this month. I am normally ravenous before AF, but this month I would eat and feel nauseous. I started having cramps 5-6 days before AF and could not keep my eyes open past 9pm a few days before AF was due. Now my boobs feel like someone has used them as punching bags, I have a lower backache that has not gone away, and I cannot shake the nausea, but I am loving every second of it
With DD I wasn't expecting to get preggo when we did so I didn't recognize and pg symptoms before my bfp. I was totally shocked to get a BFP.
With this pregnancy I definitely felt preggo. Tired, crampy the wk before my bfp, sensitive to smells, slight nausea. I kept getting a BFN for several days in a row and I told my husband that I thought that I had convinced myself that I was pg so I was feeling the symptoms. Finally got my bfp with this one 16dpo. I think that one of the main reasons that I recognized the syptoms (besides the fact that I wanted to be pg so bad) was that I just went through all of these early pg symptoms back in November before my dec mc.
Andrea (29) married to DH (32) since 10/8/05
DD born 10/2/08, Angel baby 11wks 3days 12/23/10
DS born 10/27/11
Yes and no. I don't even feel pregnant now, but I felt off enough to POAS and get a BFP.
Mommy to DD (July 2009) and DS (Nov 2011)

Alarmed at the stagnation in Mumbai's rate of economic growth and the seemingly irreversible deterioration in its quality of life, the MPs of the Shiv Sena-BJP alliance, which swept all the six Mumbai seats, have decided to move together to lift up the teeming metropolis from what looks like a terminal decline.
Two of the highlights of the strategy will be to rapidly develop Mumbai as a financial and other services hub and encourage industrial development in the hinterland spread across the Mumbai Metropolitan Region. The Shiv Sena and the BJP have three MPs each from the metropolis. Apart from this, the highly-articulate Sena MP in the Rajya Sabha, Anil Desai is also a Mumbaikar.
Desai told dna on Friday that "Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray has urged the six MPs to lobby hard with the Centre for getting more funds for financing several key projects to improve the quality of life in the metropolis and also to revive economic growth. Uddhav is very clear that all the MPs from Mumbai should work in coordination". The MPs plan to draft a joint memorandum to be given to the Centre.
Sena MP from South Mumbai Arvind Sawant told dna that the Centre receives about Rs75,000 crore annually from Mumbai by way of various taxes. Now the plan is to get the Modi government to plough back a sizeable part of this fund for financing Mumbai's development.
Gopal Shetty, Mumbai north's BJP MP, who won by a margin of over four lakh votes, said: "Transport and housing are two key areas which we will be taken up with the central government. Once the government formation is complete, we will be able to know which minister to approach. I have been a corporator, an MLA and now I am an MP. I am well aware of the problems of Mumbai. We will definitely work as a team."
In fact, Shetty and another BJP MP Kirit Somaiya have already taken up with the railway administration the issue of growing number of railway accidents that were highlighted by dna through its "Rail Revolution" campaign.
In tandem with the city MPs, Mumbai First, an intiative floated by leading industrialists of Mumbai, has also decided to submitted a detailed memorandum to the central government. Vice-chairman of Mumbai First Roger Periera said the fine-tuned memorandum will be ready early next week.
Mumbai First has already prepared a detailed report on the basis of a study conducted by McKinsey with the help of the Maharashtra government and other agencies. McKinsey had observed in its report: "What is really needed is for Mumbai to undergo a change in its mindset; from thinking of incremental improvement and de-bottlenecking, it must begin to think of making step jumps towards achieving world-class status." Mumbai ranks 163rd in a list of 218 cities ranked by Forbes in terms of quality of life.
The growth in Mumbai's GDP has not really improved from the 2.4 per cent a few years ago against the national average of 5.5 per cent. Mumbai First has suggested that the city should learn lessons from the massive revival of Cleveland, Shanghai and closer home even Hyderabad and Bangalore.
"While most of the suggestions are feasible, the one related to the appointment of a CEO for Mumbai may meet with legal hurdles. But certainly there can be a compact committee with executive powers to coordinate the work of multiple agencies like MCGM, PWD, MSRDC, MMRDA, Central and Western Railways and Mumbai Port Trust," a senior civic official said. There is also a proposal to have a full-fledged secretariat in New Delhi to follow up the proposals submitted by the city MPs.
The task is tough. The NDA MPs hope that with a friendly government at the Centre most of the major schmes can be okayed and implemented.
MUMBAI FIRST proposal
Fully empowered CEO
Completion of Metro rail linkage
Four other key transport initiatives including an inner Ring Rail
Slumdwellers to contribute partially towards rehabilitation
Port Trust land to be freed for affordable housing
Pradhan committe recommendations for coastal security to be implemented
Mumbai has to grow at 8 to 10 per cent from the present 2-3 per cent

I have lot of facial hair. What should I do to get rid of it? — Sowmya
Have threading or waxing done at a beauty salon, depending on the area of hair growth. Home remedies do not remove facial hair. But, they are said to lessen facial hair growth if used regularly over a period of time. Try any of the following remedies for discouraging the growth. Make a thick paste of sugar, lemon juice and water and apply it in the direction of the growth. Wash it off after it dries. Apply it once or twice a week. Make a paste of turmeric powder and milk and rub it on the skin with a circular motion. It is said to discourage facial hair, but may leave the skin looking slightly yellowish.
I have dandruff and lice in my hair. — Janavi
Twice a week, heat olive oil or til oil and apply it on your hair. Apply it on the ends too. Then do the hot towel wrap as described in previous columns. Apply vinegar on your hair and scalp. After an hour, comb your hair with a fine-toothed lice comb and have the nits removed by hand. Vinegar loosens the nits making it easier to remove them. Then wash your hair with a mild herbal shampoo. After a shampoo wash, add two tablespoons of vinegar to a mug of water and use it as a last rinse. Then comb your hair again with the lice comb. Do this daily for a week. This will help your dandruff problem too. Have weekly henna treatments. Add four teaspoons each of lemon juice and coffee, two raw eggs, one teaspoon of fenugreek powder and enough tea water to the henna powder, mixing it into a thick paste. If your hair is dry, add two teaspoons of oil. Apply the henna on your hair, washing it off after an hour.
What should I do to have healthy nails? — Madhura
After using soap or detergents, massage cream on your nails and the skin around your nails. You can also apply almond oil the same way. Or, soak your fingertips and nails in warm almond oil to nourish and strengthen them. Include adequate protein and calcium in your diet. Consume skimmed milk, yoghurt, cottage cheese, leafy green vegetables, fish and sprouts. Dissolve one teaspoon of gelatine in a little boiling water. Cool the water and add it to fruit juice. Drink this daily for 10 days.
How can I improve skin tone?— Murali
After cleansing, tone your skin daily with chilled rose water, using cotton wool pads. Wipe the skin with them. Then stroke the skin, on either side of your face, going upwards across your cheeks towards the temples, ending with a light pressure. Pat your face briskly with the rose water soaked pads. Apply a face mask twice a week. Mix three teaspoons of oatmeal with one teaspoon each of honey, curd and lemon juice, or egg white. Apply it on your entire face, avoiding the lips and the area around your eyes. Wash it off after half an hour.
What should I do to have thick eyebrows? — Helen
Castor oil is said to encourage the growth of eyebrows. Apply castor oil daily on your brows, with a cotton bud. Meanwhile, you can make the brows appear thicker by using an eyebrow pencil and drawing short feathery strokes. Avoid harsh lines.

Arizona State Sun Devils
Fork Report: Kelly, ASU open 2013 with rout of Sacramento State
TEMPE -- They made it look easy.
Todd Graham and the ASU Sun Devils opened their 2013 season with a 55-0 victory over FCS opponent Sacramento State.
Quarterback Taylor Kelly directed touchdown-scoring drives on the Sun Devils' first five, and six of their eight first-half possessions, taking a 42-0 lead into the locker room. Kelly threw five touchdowns to five different receivers before calling it a night, completing 23-of-31 for 300 yards.
Defensively, ASU forced four turnovers while holding Sacramento State to 167 yards, 59 of which came on the opening drive of the game.
It was the Sun Devils' 11th straight season-opening win and fourth straight victory overall, dating back to last season.
The Sun Devils pitched their first shutout since October 30, 2010, a 42-0 home win against Washington State.
The Sun Devils were penalty-free in the first half, and flagged only once (delay of game) the entire night.
We're nitpicking, but the ASU defense allowed Sacramento State to convert four third downs on the opening drive of the contest. Of course, the defense would not allow another third down conversion the rest of the game.
It was over early. The game turned on redshirt senior Robert Nelson's blocked field goal, stopping Sacramento State's 16-play opening drive. The Sun Devil offense then went on its own lengthy drive -- 80 yards on 11 plays -- capped by Kelly's 15-yard touchdown pass to De'Marieya Nelson. The rout was on.
Taylor Kelly. The Sun Devil quarterback tied his career-high with five touchdown passes (all in the first half). At one point, he completed 11 straight throws.
-Senior linebacker Chris Young left the game midway through the second quarter and did not return. Graham said Young suffered a sprained knee. It is not expected to be serious.
-ASU set a new record for student ticket sales for a single game: 13,472 student seats sold. It marked the first time over 13,000, besting the previous record of 12,555 for the UA game on November 19, 2011.
"The atmosphere was crazy," receiver Jaelen Strong said after catching a team-high six passes for 58 yards and a touchdown. "It was a real good game for me and my teammates."
"I'm proud of our team," Graham said. "You come out and dominate a team you're supposed to dominate."
ASU (1-0) hosts Big Ten champion Wisconsin on Saturday, September 14. The game is scheduled to kick-off at 7:30 p.m. MST on ESPN/ESPN2; and of course on the Sun Devils flagship station Arizona Sports 620 KTAR with pregame coverage starting at 5:30 p.m. MST.

Rare window
Will the pork barrel scam spiral into a march by the millions next week? The theft shoved to the back burners other equally critical issues from "nutritional black holes" to loss of keystone species.
"He who plants trees benefits another generation." After 12 years of below-radar-screen efforts, research has paid off. Another rare tree in Cebu has won international recognition. But Cynometra cebuensis is critically endangered.
Journal Blumea declared the tree as "scientifically described" on Nov. 24 last year. The decision appeared on the Net this month.
"This brings island-endemic tree species to three," notes botanist Franz Seidenschwarz who tracked Cynometra from seed to fruit-bearing. All three cluster within the Tabunan forest slivers. "Germany has zero endemic tree species."
Cynometra Cebu bears no local name, unlike the other two. Discovered in 1922, Arthrophyllum cenabrei is named Bingliu—the area where it sprouted. Cinnamomum cebuense Kostermans, recognized in 1986, is called Kalingag in Visayan.
Degraded habitats and limited numbers will insert Cynometra Cebu into "Critically Endangered" tables of the 2001 "Red List" by the International Union for Conservation of Nature.
A University of Munich graduate, Seidenschwarz led the University of San Carlos (USC) Botany Research Group. Fluent in Cebuano, he authored various studies, including "Plant World of the Philippines—An Illustrated Dictionary of Visayan Plants."
He married Cebuana Elizabeth Cinco who teaches German in a language school she established. Their eldest son is a New York hospital internist. Franz Jr. is a resident physician at Perpetual Succor Hospital in Cebu.
Today, Seidenschwarz juggles the duties of Germany's consul in Cebu with research in a private Maria Luisa Park tree farm. "It is my garden and a secret area where I plant the critically endangered species of Cebu." That fills a gap in research material.
USC researchers, in November 1998, discovered a new damselfly. Scientifically described by Dr. Matti Hämälainen, it is now known as Risiocnemis seidenschwarzi. But in July 2000, the damselfly population dwindled. It was last seen in March of 2001. New populations were spotted in Badian, then Tabunan. The Zoological Society of London included this damselfly on a list of "100 most endangered species of the planet."
Starting in 1999, Seidenschwarz tracked 17 Cynometra Cebu trees whose seeds came from one mother tree. The species thrives in dry forests on limestone at altitudes of 400-600 meters. Flowering occurs at the onset of the dry season. But they last only for a few days.
The tassels of young trees are bright pink; in older trees, they are creamy greenish yellow. They attract butterflies, dragonflies and other insects. The woody fruit pods fall in July.
The new species differs from the Cynometra in Sibuyan Island. Its leaves are much larger. Its habitat is different. Sibuyan trees sprout on moist fertile wooded flats along rivers. All Indo-Pacific species of Cynometra grow under ever-wet climatic conditions. In contrast, Cebu is seared by a dry season from the middle of March to early June.
"It took me over a decade to prove that it is a new species," Seidenschwarz recalls now. "I waited for the flowers. But the blooming was very irregular."
Today's trees bear the imprint of history. Cebu is one of the country's two most deforested provinces. Indiscriminate logging interlocked with unrelenting kaingin or clearing of trees by fire. This pillage led the Spanish colonial government, in 1870, to shred all special licenses to cut trees on Cebu. The Spanish governor-general, in 1873, appointed 12 officials to prevent countrywide deforestation. They were tasked to hold on to depleted forest stands.
They failed. So did the US colonial administrators and Filipino officials who took over after the grant of independence in 1946. Less than a quarter of Philippine rainforests are left.
Deforestation threatens also the birds. The Cebu Flowerpecker or Dicaeum quadricolor, for example, is extinct, despite the crossed fingers of conservationists.
In 1917, President Sergio Osmeña opened Cebu's Camp 7 reforestation project. It still exists in a province where the key project of his grandson, former Rep. Tomas Osmeña, is a treeless, 296-hectare reclaimed South Road Properties.
In Central and Southern Cebu, tree-covered tracts remain only in higher and less accessible mountains. Paradoxically, this remaining 0.2 percent fragment of natural forests is unusually rich in endemic plant and animal species. Many of them are rare and endangered.
The largest remnant is the 145-hectare spread within the Tabunan forest. It is hemmed in by farms. And pressure on the land and trees ratchet up from population growth, inflow of migrants and poverty.
Habitat deterioration is caused by timber harvesting, specially by fires during the dry season, says Seidenschwarz who has monitored Tabunan since 1994. That threat is compounded by encroachments.
The nearby Cantipla forest was once "a habitat of the new species," Seidenschwarz notes. On paper, the area is well protected. The reality on the ground is different. The forest area should be delineated soonest, so protection measures can follow.
That gut issue lands on newly elected Cebu Gov. Hilario Davide III's lap. It provides him with a rare window of opportunity for lifetime achievement. Few dare to tally the price tag for failure.

Nettle root extract and SHBG
Nettle root extract and SHBG
I have made some search on the effects of nettle root extract on SHBG. In theory the lignans of the root should bind SHBG and thus increase free testosterone levels. The reason why I'm looking answers is my low libido, probably caused by quite low free testosterone level. I have ordered 500 mg capsules of 8:1 nettle root extract, hoping that they will work.
But what about reality? Have someone tried nettle root extracts? If so, what was the daily intake and was it "standard" nettle root extract or for example ActivaTe? And what were the results?
Thanks for your answers
Actually I'm not 100% sure whether my SHBG is high, but I'm guessing so because my total testosterone is normal and free is low-normal. Blood profile looks like this: (measurements taken period of July-August)
age 27,
Total testosterone 22 nmol/l (range 10-38) = 630 ng/dl?
Free testosterone 238 pmol/l (range 150-500) = 6,9 pg/ml?
Estradiol 90 pmol/l (range <160) = 24,5 pg/ml?
Prolactin 289 mU/I (70-300)
TSH 1,6 mU/I (0,3-4,5)
cholesterol, total: 5,3 mmol/l
cholesterol, HDL: 1.42 mmol/l
cholesterol, LDL: 3.7 mmol/l
triglyserides: 0.59 mmol/l
Glucose: 5.0 mmol/l (range 4.2-6)
Hemoglobin: 158 g/l (range 132-167)
GT (liver value?) 21 U/I (range 10-80)
ALAT (liver value?) 25 U/I (range 10-70)
Crea (kidney value?) 92 umol/l (range 60-115)
So: LDL could be lower, high FSH correlates my poor semen quantity, and free testosterone could be higher?
Please comment. Also you mentioned about diet?
And comments regarding to Nettle Root Extracts from everybody are still welcome.
Estradiol 90 pmol/l (range <160)
There is number of estradiol tests.
We want
Estradiol, sensitive
Estradiol, Ultrasensitive
or lattest from Quest (my prefered)
Estradiol, Free, LC/MS/MS (36169X)
"ordinary" Estradiol test is not sensitive enough to be used for men.
The above is for those in USA.
People outside of USA have even harder situation when it comes to testing.
They have different units, ranges and what not.
Quality of information dilutes quickly.
SI vs american units coversion does not solve much.
FWIW - Your T and free T seem to be middle of the range. That doesn't mean that maybe they should not be higher, but they don't appear to be low. (i.e. my T is 187 on a range of 300-1100, which IS low)
I guess the values as US units for total test, free test and estradiol are 630 ng/dl, 6,9 pg/ml and 24,5 pg/ml, respectively. Please correct if I'm wrong.
Yes, and any experiences from nettle root extracts?

I really didn't see any specific answers to the nettle root extract question here. Does it actually bind to SHBG and increase free test or not? If it does, then by how much and how soon do you notice the effects of this? Some help here please!!
I have not concrete evidence, but I believe my use of Nettle Root extract has helped in with libido and strength. Just a very subjective observation.
Thanks wildfox for your reply. So you have taken root extract capsules, not pure root powder? What is your daily dosing and is the extract a "standard product", instead of a "refined one", such as LEF's or Activate?
Subjective observations are exactly what I'm hoping to hear, because I have already read all the scientific articles what are behind the nettle root hype.
The results were increased libido, better overall feeling, increased strength...I was using nothing else and used this protocol for 2 months.
From my research I discovered that all the ligands in nettle Root have a propensity to bind to SHBG except one. But also I found one of those ligands had the highest propensity to bind to SHBG. This ligand is found in concentrated form in DS Activate and bulk Nettle Root standardized for this ligand at Nutra Planet.
I have used the bulk extract from Nutra Planet and had the same effect w/ a couple of 1/4 tsps as I did w/ those mega doses of bulk herb.
I have used DS original Activate as well w/ great results (similiar to Nutra's bulk extract). Somewhere along the line I had some bloodwork done while on the extract and my free test had increased over older previous numbers taken a year before (i.e. not using nettle).
In a month or so I will be using Nutra's bulk extract again w/ an AI...I love the stuff. I like the way it makes me feel and I believe it is even better than the Saw Palmetto for my prostate.
By-the-way I'm 41 years old....but I have a 22 year old fiancee...so I'm always looking for ways to help my libido along...Nettle Root extract helps me in that regard.
I use the powder from beyond a century, as directed on the bottle.

I take the root extract capsules as well at 500 mg. at a time , 4 times a day. I spread it out every 5 hours upon waking. I really like how it makes me feel. I fell very confident and strong all the time. I am more agressive with the weights and my mate , if you know what I mean!!!
Thanks guys for your experiences! I started yesterday taking my extract capsules (brown powder inside a cellulose capsule), 2x500 mg a day, hopefully it is as potent stuff what you are taking..
Are any of you concerned about the fact that nettle lignans are most likely converted to phytoestrogens (enterodiol, enterolactone, enterofuran) by colon bacterias? Phytoestrogens are said to be "weak estrogen/weak antiestrogens". In vivo studies are showing that phytoestrogens (from soy, flax etc.) INCREASED SHBG, at least in postmenopausal women? Studies of men have mixed results.. in some studies, free testosterone decreased, while in some it increased. Damn I'm confused.
Chill out, man. I haven't put the powder to the capsules, they have been packed in this way. English info says "vegetarian capsules", in german "Zellulosekapsel". Of course I can brake the capsule and eat the powder, but why? I guess the capsule should brake in acidic conditions?
And what did you mean about dosage? 500 mg each, "8:1 standardised root extract".

I had "okay", but not really decent levels of Total T - but very poor Free T while on various transdermal gels (AndroGel, Testim). I was - it turned out - a very poor skin absorber. I also had elevated Total Estrogens and elevated E2. And elevated (high normal range - but very high normal range) of SHBG.
We switched to Test Cyp IM injections (first 100 mg a week and then 50 mg twice a week). E2 was helped significantly - but still above reference range noticeably. SHBG pretty much unchanged. Total T now pretty darn good... but Free T still on the poor side (my Lab switched from numbers of percentage figures during the course of this, but the reference range was - as I recall - 1.0% to 3.1%). Prior to switching to IM injections, my Total T was generally (even with higher doses of gels) under 475. I hit 500 once (reference range of 220 - 1000). Anyway, after switching to IM injections, SHBG was still up there and so Free T levels were around 1.9 - 2.1 range.
I then began a regimen (with NO other changes) of taking nettles root extract (300 mg tablet of 5% extract ONCE a day). When I was next tested (about 6 weeks later), my SHBG was in the range of 18 - 20... and my Free T was 3.3%. Since then, my SHBG has stayed in that same range and my Free T levels have ran in the range of 3.0 - 3.4% consistently.
I cannot say this will work for everybody simply due to the fact that there can be multiple unrelated reasons for elevated SHBG. And then we are all different when it comes to how we respond to various medications, herbals, etc.
For example, I have read many anecdotal stories of males who have done well (or at least "okay") in regards to controlling their estrogens via either DIM or transdermal Chrysin (as long as it has been micropulverized) or even a micropulverized DIM / Chrysin compounded mixture. Yet I personally had NO real help in using any of those combinations. The best that I got was in using very high doses of Rite Aid's brand DIM (about three times the recommended amount)... and yet I only achieved an extremely small improvement in my E2 levels - while Total Estrogen levels increased by over 25%!
Also... going by how you feel obviously has a degree of importance, but I would also recommend getting the Labs done - even if just SHBG and Free T - to see if the compound or extract is doing what it is supposed to be doing... or are you simply obtaining a placebo effect that is going to be only short to medium term?
It HAS to be nettles root EXTRACT... not powdered nettles root (not strong enough) nor nettles leaf powder or etract (the leaves don't contain the active ingredients necessary.
And it should be a strong extract (8:1 ratio for example means that 8 unts of nettles root barks was concentrated down to 1 unit of extract). Also, it is NOT really dose dependent. I achieved my results on taking 300 mgs of the root extract at a level of once a day. I imagine that it might be possible that too strong a dose of too much root extract could drive SHBG levels too low... IF they work for you.
Sorry for the dlay.
I used an unknown (cant recall brand name) that was 25o mg of active nettle root extract when I first started, but can't recall the name of it. Just used it for the first bottle of 60 I believe. That was like in the Summer of 2005.
Since then have used Nettle Root Power by Nature's Herbs (a subdivision - I believe - of TwinLabs, so good quality). It has 300 mgs of active nettle root extract in it. I get it through (hope I'm allowed to say this???) VitaCost at a really decent price. And I only have been taking 1 cap a day, so two bottles lasts me four months. Pretty damn cost effective.
Hope that it works as well for you!

Coconut oil is also great applied topically to wounds.
I've had good experiences with bulk 95% nettle root..great sleep, mood, libido et cetera. Never had any bloodwork done but my skin gets oily within a few days of use. Also, I often mix the bulk nettle with Avena sativa powder in a 50/50 ratio and this seems to heighten the libido response even more.

I believe that people avg about 400 mg bulk nettle three to four times a day...don't quote me on it though....400mg doseages will get you 125 "servings". Not sure how the new Activate compares to that though.
RcB Since 09-06-2011 20:55 EST, Post 49
Doing PCT from test only cycle here soon and I'm gonna do 20mg tamox/derm-sustain/PFull for 4 weeks, and then sustain/nettle root/Pfull and maybe camphibolic as my staple supps for the next 6 months or so and see how it goes. Not sure yet about the camp, if I can think of something else to get I may do it instead.
**sorrry for getting off topic
Your prolactin is borderline high bro.
That will kill your libido.
Yes, had moderately hgigh (above normal range at times - right at top end of normal ref range at other times) oof SHBG. No other variable in HRT treatment. Already had been put on an AI (weeks previously) for high E2 and Total Es (we later tweaked that AI dosing - but long after I had added the Nettles Extract). And yes, the SHBG - beore and after was confirmed via SHBG results shown in Lab tests (blood draws). Went from previous high ranges to very low normal ranges - and Free T increased to slightly above ref. range levels.
Again, I am not saying that nettles root extract will workfor everyone. I know of guys who swear that DIM works very well for controlling their E2 levels, but while it lowered my E2 a couple of points (and I needed it lowered a LOT more than that), it raised my Total Es very noticeably. I also had one poster on another board who PMed me that he had tried it for a couple months and nothing... actually a slight increase. Then - when I checked - I found that he was using nettles leaf powder.... not nettles root... not nettles root extract. EAven though I had emphasized the difference, he assumed it was "all the same". A couple months later (on the right stuff) and he was also reporting SHBG way down and Free T way up.
Again, am talking as relates to HRT / TRT and not AAS. And throughout (like most recently) am taking ONE cap that is an 8:1 extract of 300 mgs per day.
(Sorry for delay but was in hospital for a while there and have recently found out I need some back surgery. Fortunately is work related so State's workers comp will be picking up the tab).
right now I am taking a prostate DIM /nettle supplement with 300 mgs DIM PRO with nettle root exact 300 at 16:1 ratio and nothing else for now to alter the SHBG. And I am going to get shbg checked in about a month, I am picking up my RBC fattty acid testng from genova to test for that as well.. DIM at 600 mgs a day did jack for my e2. I think topical pregeneolone, fish oils, calcium D is a better for e2 control then DIM EVER WILL BE
There are two products at LEF to do this job.
Reason for use of DIM is to control 2/16 hydroxyestrones.
Even for that DIM is nor really the only thing that should be used.

any info about Nettle Root extract (Divanex) and hair loss prevention.
Most articles I see say Nettle is GOOD for preventing hair loss.
But I have also come across the opposite opinion.Any thoughts?
Hardasnails, your hormone levels are actually excellent readings.
what are your symptoms?
have you ever thought of this.
hormones can only work when receptors are upregulated enough.

Manila s'belles absorb 2nd loss
Team Manila suffered its second straight loss, dropping a 1-0 decision to host Delaware on Wednesday that put its hopes of advancing to the semifinals in jeopardy in the Big League Softball World Series in Sussex County, Delaware.
The defending champions representing the Asia Pacific couldn't recover from the lone run they gave up in the second inning and fell to 1-2 in Pool B, leaving them in a dire position to qualify for the last four.
It was a rough day for Philippine teams in the World Series with Sta Cruz, Laguna, also losing for the third straight game, this time to Laurel of Delaware, 9-1, in the Senior Little League World Series, also in Delaware.
Manila, which opened its campaign with a 15-0 win over Canada, before losing to US East team Pennsylvania, will face the US Central team Indiana on Thursday.
A Manila win and a Pennsylvania victory over cellar dweller Canada in another Pool B match will forge a triple tie for second spot, which will be broken via run differential.
Both Manila and Laguna struggled to deal with the solid pitching of their rivals.
"We're just hoping for the best from here," said Manila Little League president Che Borromeo, who is also a Manila councilor. "It was a tight game all throughout and the girls did their best."
Kaitlyn Slater scored the only run against Manila after a line drive from Shelby Wilkins off Hazel Anque, who just came in to replace Agapi Llave.
Queenie Sabobo belted one of her two hits—a double—to centerfield in the sixth inning but she was caught trying to get an extra base at third.
The Manila softbelles' campaign is backed by ICTSI Foundation and Manila Mayor Joseph Estrada. Cedelf P. Tupas

Yes, Emory Bellard is widely regarded as the inventor of the Wishbone offense, but don't forget Bear Bryant was the guy who brought it to the Southeastern Conference.
The year was 1971. Alabama was coming off a disappointing 6-5-1 record in 1970 that included a 48-23 loss to Ole Miss in Mississippi Veterans Memorial Stadium. Bama had lost three games in 1968 and finished 6-5 in 1969. Bryant wasn't accustomed to such losing. Hard to believe now, but there were whispers that Bryant wasn't the same coach he once was.

On March 26, 2012, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court issued its long-awaited decision in T.W. Phillips Gas & Oil Co. v. Jedlicka, ___ A.3d ___, Docket No. 19 WAP 2009 (Pa. March 26, 2012). In a major victory for Pennsylvania's oil and gas producers and K&L Gates, the Court held that, under standard oil and gas lease language requiring that oil or gas be "produced in paying quantities," any operational profit suffices to hold the lease, and even if a well experiences periods of unprofitability, the producer's subjective good faith in continuing to operate suffices to hold the lease. The decision thus affirms the validity of many older leases that have been held by continuous, albeit low-level, production for decades in regions that are now experiencing a new wave of development.
The dispute arose out of a 1928 lease of oil and gas rights in a 163-acre tract in North Mahoning Township, Indiana County, Pennsylvania, under which defendant T.W. Phillips Gas & Oil Co. was lessee. The lease would last "for the term of two years, and as long thereafter as oil or gas is produced in paying quantities." The tract was subsequently subdivided. Plaintiff Ann Jedlicka came to own 70 acres, on which lay one of the four wells originally drilled in 1929. In 2004, T.W. Phillips assigned the leasehold to codefendant PC Exploration, Inc., who promptly drilled four further wells on Jedlicka's property and planned to drill four more.

The Youth Agenda
With the deadline for the actualization of the constitution Articles 100 fast approaching this August as prescribed under the 5th schedule the real question is whether legislators will wait till the last minute to draft, debate and pass a bill on youth inclusivity.
Youth inclusion has been an issue that is often debated on the fringes without any real or technical framework on how to institute these grand ideas; Frankenstein my friends has not yet risen! Heck we don't even have a youth policy in place! Out of 198 countries 121 have instituted a youth policy- that's 61% and we are not even amongst this forward movement; Oh Just so you know, Kenya has now moved to a middle income country meaning this should be the sign of a nation willing to foster inclusivity and address young people's needs, demands and aspirations. For us young people the challenge is to continue advocacy and push for the institution of our rights as enshrined in the constitution.
In this light, Youth Agenda is currently holding consultations with various stakeholders to ensure that the resultant legislation come August; does not short change the youth or anyone else for that matter.
So before we delve into this lets just take stock: Article 55 of the CoK 2010 state that the government should take measures including affirmative action programs to ensure participation of the youth in all spheres of life that includes access to economic opportunities, political, education & other social opportunities. When this is read with Article 100 it means that government should promote participation & representation of the youth in parliament as well. Sounds good huh? Well that's not all… the bigger picture really (in my humble opinion) is if we could band up this new proposed legislation on inclusivity so that Art 55 & 100 are also read together Art 27 on equality.
Isn't this what we really all want? Not to be left out of the sharing of the national cake; so why don't we just break off our sector groups- Youth, women, PWDs marginalized communities; truth is the reason we have this in the constitution in the first place is that we all felt so left out! I mean women are youth, youth are PWD, women are from marginalized communities- there is no fine line on how involve these groups without being exclusive and discriminatory- not in the spirit and letter of the constitution.
What I'd like to see come August 2015 is a well thought out law on how to ensure equality and inclusion for young people regardless of whether they are women, or PWDs or from marginalized communities.
As we move forward- and closer to the August deadline Youth Agenda continues to work with the Ministry of Devolution's Youth Affairs Directorate; who by the way are taking this matter up with serious zest and valor as well as the Constitution Implementation Committee (CIC) whose advise and wisdom on the implementation of the constitution on this particular matter has been invaluable.
Even as we march onwards for this legislation we must also take into push forward with the formulation of a youth policy that will ensure sound legal and policy frameworks that will address youth interests.
*Youth Agenda in partnership with Uraia Trust is supporting efforts aimed at  Actualizing Article 55b of the Constitution of Kenya 2010.

Study finds poor nursing home care
Key indicators of quality varied widely among local facilities, according to the foundation's Web site. The information is based on inspection reports and documents submitted to regulators by facility operators.
At Life Care Center of Escondido, staff members spent an average 3.5 hours each day with patients, a figure that exceeded state requirements and fell within statewide averages. At 85 percent, annual turnover of staff was worse than average.
More troubling were measures of patient care: 10 percent of patients lost weight during their stays at the Escondido facility, about the statewide average. But 11 percent were bedridden, a figure that was worse than average. And 24 percent of patients were kept in restraints, well surpassing the statewide average of 17 percent. Harrington said the figure should be close to zero. The director of Life Care couldn't be reached for comment Thursday.
Life seemed measurably better for patients at Carlsbad by the Sea, a nonprofit in that city. Staff averaged 4.1 hours each day with patients, well exceeding the state minimum, although turnover at 89 percent was worse than average.
Also worse than average was weight loss, which afflicted 17 percent of patients. But just 1 percent were "bedfast," far better than average, and 13 percent were kept in restraints, a figure that was better than the state average.
"We have programs in place to use alternative measures other than restraining people to keep them safe," said Dawn Larsen, executive director of the nursing home.
There appears to be plenty of room in nursing homes: Occupancy rates averaged 85 percent statewide and in both Riverside and San Diego counties. But that might not last long. Census projections call for California's population of people over 65 to nearly double by 2025. The number of frail people over 80 is expected to boom.

Viewers: in countries Watching now:
This course is a collection of short Photoshop and Illustrator projects and creative effects that can be completed in ten minutes or less. The series is taught by computer graphics guru Deke McClelland, and presented in his signature step-by-step style. The intent is to reveal how various Photoshop and Illustrator features can be combined and leveraged in real-world examples so that they can be applied to creative projects right away.
In this movie, we're going to take that little image that we sampled, as you see before you, inside of both Photoshop CC down here at the bottom. And inside of Photoshop CS 6. So they're looking almost identical. And we're going to take a different approach. We're going to automatically trace the image inside of Illustrator, and then we'll take the resulting vector based path outlines, and we'll scale them to 1400 by 1400%. And you'll see that we get a very different, but equally viable result. And in fact, which one you prefer is ultimately a subjective determination.
So, I am going to go ahead and switch over to Illustrator, and then, I'll go up to the File menu and choose the new command and I am going to start by setting my profile to basic RGB. In that way, align to pixel grid is turned off but we'll be working in RGB mode which is very important. I am working in points. And I'm going to set both the width and height values to 250 points apiece. If you're working in some other unit of measure, and you want to work along with me, then you would just enter 250 pt and press the Tab key.
And Illustrator will automatically convert to your unit of measure. Now click OK in order to create that file. And so this is a really a dinky document about three and a half inches in each direction. Now I'll go up to the File menu and choose the Place command. And I'll locate that original smilingman.jpg file which is that dinky image, just 578 by 750 pixels, that is to say, less than half a mega pixel, and I'll click on the Place button in order to bring up my place cursor, as you see here and then I'll just click anywhere inside the document to place the man inside the page.
Now I want to align him to the center of the art board. And so, I could have clicked anywhere. He could be way up here, to align him, just go up to this icon in the Control Panel. Click on it and change it to Align to Art Board. And then you want to click on each one of the center align options. Horizontal Align Center. And then this guy right there, Vertical Align Center. And we're doing this for aesthetic reasons only. It's not going to affect the tracing process. Alright, I'll go ahead and zoom in here. And the next thing you want to do is go up to Image Trace.
This Image Trace button? Notice you have this down-pointing arrow-head. You can click on it and choose high fidelity photo, if you want to. But that's just going to waste time in the long run, because I have some very specific settings in mind for you. So you're best starting with a black and white trace, which you'll get if you just click on the image trace button like so. And of course, it looks terrible, right? But we're going to make it look better. And you do that by clicking on this little panel icon, which brings up the image trace panel. Right here. And, you want to start things off by turning off the preview check box.
That way, Illustrator doesn't continually update the tracing every time you modify a setting. Which gets very frustrating over time. Now you want to change mode to color, like so. Then you want to change your palette from limited, which is limiting the number of colors that you can see here. You want to change it to full tone. So that Illustrator's taking as much advantage as possible of the 16 million or so colors inside this image. So go ahead and choose that option right there. And then you want to crank colors all the way up to 100.
So that is to say the sliders should be just above more, over here on the right-hand side. Now twirl open Advanced that is clicked a little triangle in front of the word advanced. And, you want to change the Paths value right here to its absolute maximum. That way you'll have as much fidelity as possible. And you want to take your corners value all the way to 0%, it doesn't really make that much difference, this value right here. But, it is worth a shot. And then, my experience, and you can fool around with this if you want to, my experience is that you take the Noise value, all the way down to its minimum, of one pixel.
Unless you have a very noisy image. This is the best way to work. And that's it. Now, you just want to click on the trace button down here in the bottom right corner of the image trace panel, and let Illustrator do its thing, and you will see a bunch of progress bars fly by, but in the long run you will see a traced image on-screen right here, and I'm going to go ahead and zoom in so that we can see it in greater clarity. So, right now I'm zoomed into 1,600% because this is such a small image, and you are going to see some sort of strange details, like these little traced pixels every once in a while.
That's supposed to be eliminated by raising the noise value, but doesn't really succeed in the long run, at least in my experience, but you can try it out if you want to. In any case, you should take a look before you go any farther here, you should take a look at each one of the eyes, regardless of what kind of image you're looking at. Assuming it's a portrait shot, of course, that there are eyes, because that'll give you the best sense for whether you have a good trace or not. Now, you would presumably go up to the File menu and choose the Save command in order to save off this image. And, I'm going to do that.
I'll just go ahead and choose the Save command. And, I will go ahead and name this document Trace Photograph, let's say. Just so there's no ambiguity. We want to save the document as a dot AI file. Then, go ahead and click the Save button. And, inside the Illustrator dialog box. By the way, those of you who are working in Illustrator cc which is version 17. You are probably sharing files with a lot of folks who are working in older versions of the software, and what I recommend is that you go and save this document in the Illustrator CS6 format, and in fact, there is very little to be lost across the board.
When saving to CS6, there are a couple of things, but nothing that we're up to. I'll go ahead and choose that format, just to make sure it's compatible with you folks who are using Illustrator CS6, and I'll click on the OK button in order save off that file and it may take a moment or two for that file to save to disc, of course. The next thing we want to do is just hide the Image Trace Panel because we don't need it anymore. And I'm going to press Control+0 or Command+0 on the Mac or to zoom out. And the Mac is actually going to zoom out quiet a bit here.
And I'm going to increase the size of my art board by switching to the art board tool, down here at the bottom of the tool box, and then, you want to take a look at your width and height values up here on the right side of the control panel. Make sure that the center point is selected here inside this reference point matrix. And, we're going to change the width value to 30 in, which is 30 inches, and I'll press the Tab key. That automatically converts that measurement, in my case, to points. And now I'll change the height value to 38 IN like so and I'll press the enter key or the return key on a Mac.
And you can see that we now have an enormous art board. I'll press the escape key to switch out of the art board mode so that my black arrow tool is once again selected. And I'll go up here to the control panel and click on the Expand button. In order to expand the tracing into a bunch of path outlines the reason we're seeing blue is there's so many path outlines that all we're seeing is selection edges. So, what I recommend you do is press Ctrl+h or Cmd+h on a Mac so that you can see your selected path outlines, and now press Ctrl+0 or Cmd+0 on the Mac.
To zoom all the way out from my art board, I'll go over here to the scale tool and double-click on it in order to bring up the scale dialog box. And assuming that you're working along with me, you want to change the uniform value to 1400%. Turn on the preview check box, so you can see it applied in the background and then, assuming all is well, go ahead and click OK. In order to scale those vectors. So again, we're scaling them to 14 times their previous width and 14 times their previous height. So 14 times 14 means that we're scaling the vectors to 196 times their former size.
Now if you zoom in, you may notice this weird thing where, I don't know if you can make it out in the video, but we've got these tiny white edges around all the path outlines. That is not something to worry about. That's just a function of Illustrator's screen display. And to prove that that's the case, go up to the Edit menu and choose the Copy command or just press Control+C or Command+C on the Mac. Once that's finished you want to make sure that you watch the Edit menu calm down up here. Because you'll see it highlighted and then as soon as the copy is done the Edit menu will return to its standard self.
And then, you want to switch over to Photoshop, and I've gone ahead and opened this upsampling comparison .psd document that I created in a previous movie. And now I'll go ahead and zoom out by pressing Ctrl+0, or Cmd+0 on the Mac. Click on this top layer just to select it there, and then I'll go up to the Edit menu and choose the Paste command, which you can also get of course by pressing Ctrl+v, or Cmd+v on the Mac, and depending on the speed of the machine you either want to select smart objects or pixels. So if it's an old machine, select pixels, if it's a new machine select smart objects.
Just because Smart Objects are more processor intensive and this is a mighty big file that we're working on. I'll go ahead and select Smart Object and click OK in order to paste that illustration. And from this far out it doesn't look any different than the up-sampled photographs. Now Photoshop should automatically scale the illustration, so that it exactly fits inside the image. Which in my case means that we have width and height value set aren't quite 100% but that's fine. Then press the Enter key, or the Return key on the Mac, in order to scale that placed document.
And you'll actually see a progress bar fly across the screen there. I'm going to go ahead and rename this new layer AI Trace so that I know where it came from. You can see that it is a smart object. Let's go ahead and zoom in on this guy's eye, once again, so that we can see what's going on and notice we now have the scaled vectors. So if I turn this layer off, we can see there in the background is the CS 6 result and behind that is the CC result.
These are the upsamplings that we applied in the previous movie using Photoshop. Which I can then compare to the AI tracing here by turning on the top layer. Notice those little lines totally went away. So what we're seeing is a collection of pretty obvious path outlines I think. But the results are a little bit smoother and sharper then what we get from Photoshop. More synthetic of course. But more sharply defined regions of color. Now my opinion, things are a little bit too synthetic. And so if you want to smooth things out a little bit, then go up to the filter menu with that AI trace layer selected.
Choose Noise and then choose Medium. That's going to work way better than any of the other smoothing functions inside the software. Go ahead and choose that command. And then the value I came up with is that same value that I used for the radius with un-sharp mask, back in the previous movie. That is to say, 12 pixels. So, in other words, 12 pixels works very well if your image measures 30 inches wide by 38 inches tall, which is what we're going for here. If your image measure twice that, for example, 60 inches wide by 76 inches tall.
Or something along those lines, then you would want to double the radius value. For example, set it to 24 pixels or of course you could just look at the results and decide what you like. Anyway I'm going to go with 12 pixels and I'll click OK in order to apply that filter. Now even though the filter previews very quickly as we saw a moment ago. It takes a moment to apply to the entire image. And just so you have a sense for the difference here, I'll press Ctrl+Z or Cmd+Z on a Mac to undo.
That's the original state of the traced illustration with all these weird synthetic results, especially here along the bottom eyelid, and then if I press Ctrl or Cmd+Z again in order to reapply median You can see that things get much better. Meanwhile, let's go and zoom out just a little bit, taking into account that this is a post resized image. So, nobody is going to be sitting there scrutinizing it from two inches away. You will of course because it's your poster but other folks aren't going to do that. And now, I'll turn off the AI trace layer, just so we can see how it compares to the upsampling inside of Photoshop.
So this is the enlarged photograph that Photoshop comes up with, and this is the enlarged photograph that Illustrator comes up with, and you can even split the difference. You can get the best of both worlds. Assuming that your regular marquee tools are active here. Then you can just tap the 5 key, in order to reduce the opacity of this AI trace layer to 50% as you can see in the upper right corner of the layers panel. And now we have a 50-50 mix of the automatically traced vectors that we just created inside of Illustrator as well as the upsampled image that we created inside Photoshop.
