NORTH AUGUSTA -- A North Augusta Public Safety officer found a marijuana plant outside the front door of an abandoned house on Tuesday.
The officer, who was there to serve civil papers, said he also found three marijuana plants in the flower bed of a house on the 100 block of Crystal Lake Drive.
The plants were uprooted and destroyed.
I have not worked in N Augusta...I did not do this...I'm not Johnny Potseed, okay?
Finding marijuana growing in the roadside ditches isn't unusual. It's a weed and grows from Alaska to the equator. The marijuana scam is one of the craziest ever pulled on the public.
monsanto is coming after your tomato plants next...
What did the cop have for lunch? This is news?
He earned his paycheck that day..
LOL, Brad! Perhaps we need a "nuisance flowerbed" ordinance. Maybe this is why Butch is upset about the Ministry's garden on the wrong lot.....
Wait a minute - what happen to my 4th plant? JK Good Morning All!
I wonder just HOW they destroyed the plants...did they burn them? LOL
I wonder how much the "marijuana plants disposal technician" job in North Augusta pays?
The best story along these lines, was when I worked in downtown Atlanta. Someone planted some marijuana in the flowerbed of the Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms Building. The State prisoners watered and fertilized them, just like the other flowers. Finally, someone figured it out, and then there were big gaping holes in the flowerbeds. It was a running joke for over a month. The ATF guys didn't seem to find the humor though...!!
This a funny story. It is very likely to happen at any drug house. The users sort the seeds from the "good" stuff and then throw the seeds out. Whoops. They just so happened to take root and grow.
The cops have to protect their drug cartel clients. Can't have any American weed hitting the market. That would endanger their drug dealing buddies. EVERY time you pay your taxes they are used to hurt U.S. Join the National Taxpayers Union. Redirect your taxes away from destroying America as they are now, back to HELPING U.S. as claimed.
Big whoop. There is probably tons of the stuff growing in peoples flower beds, behind their homes in weeds. Who cares?? Slowwwwwwwwww news day obviously.
The people of North Augusta must really feel safe now.
Lol. You speak the truth Kneck! And firemedic, all kidding aside, I feel very safe ty:) Got to hand it to them, even though AC found this incident newsworthy (it wasn't) N Aug police do their jobs and earn the pay! Obsessive they have become with the speeding tickets, etc.. but am glad they're out in full force!
The house must have been speeding.
An abandoned house? Who was the police officer serving papers on?
LOL.. Musta been. I think i've seen several homes fly by a time or two:)
I don't know Night, perhaps whoever sent the cops to serve the papers didn't know the person was no longer there.

The Jakarta Post
Here in the Netherlands we are surprised and saddened to read almost every day of orangutans in Indonesia being harassed and killed in large numbers by Malaysian palm oil companies in particular. It breaks our heart and makes us want to avoid all palm oil in the things we buy.
We appeal to President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono to urgently rein in these palm oil companies to prevent them from massacring even more orangutans in Indonesia.
The harm being done to this legally protected species is incalculable. If this flag-ship species, Indonesia's one and only great ape, is to be saved, the law needs enforcing and urgently.
We also wish to appeal directly to the palm oil industry to show more respect to orangutans and the laws of Indonesia.

There's been a lot of debate about the new Cardiovascular Disease Prevention Guidelines targeting cholesterol management and heart disease risk, which came out recently from the American College of Cardiology and the American Heart Association. At the heart of the controversy is the less-than-perfect risk calculator they use, as well as their resulting recommendations for taking statins, such as Lipitor – or what we call atorvastatin.
The risk calculator – available at heart.org; search for "2013 prevention guidelines tool" – assesses your risk of cardiovascular disease by including factors such as age, race, gender, blood pressure, total and HDL cholesterol levels and diabetes. The way it has weighted those factors has the potential of doubling the number of Americans taking inflammation-cooling, cholesterol-lowering statins. And most surprising to many folks, that number includes more than 45 million Americans who don't currently have cardiovascular disease.
We say, recognizing all your risk factors for cardiovascular disease – and then talking to your doctor about how to reduce each of them – is at the heart of the new guidelines. And while there's debate about the numbers the new risk calculator generates, they alert you to a real risk that you have relative to folks who have either more or less chance of heart woes. (By the way, the RealAge calculator at realage.com is an accurate way to spot your risks and learn you what you can do to reduce them, and to make yourself younger.)
The AHA and ACC also released new guidelines to help folks manage heart-risky obesity and to adopt heart-healthy lifestyles, to be used along with the new guidelines on cholesterol management. In them, they lowered the heart-risky BMI from 30 to 25 with one co-risk (diabetes is an example). They also suggest using behavioral counseling for at least six months to help people stick with exercise and diet programs.
If you do use the new AHA/ACC risk calculator, cross-reference those results with the Reynolds Risk Score (www.reynoldsriskscore.org). It factors in family history and hs-CRP (C-reactive protein) level, which measures bodywide inflammation and the target is 1.0 or less, making it more precise for women and catching hidden risks in some men, too. You can get a test for hs-CRP the next time you have blood drawn for your cholesterol check; it's a must-know heart health number for everyone.
Here's where we disagree with the cholesterol management guidelines. They don't recommend tracking changes in your cholesterol levels. We think you should. It's helpful to know if your efforts with a healthy lifestyle – and any statin you might take – are working. So we say: Get your LDLs below 100 and your HDLs over 50, and keep track of how they go up, down or stay the same with a periodic blood test.
If it turns out you're at risk, or you just want to stay in the clear, adopt a heart-healthy diet: every day enjoy veggies, a handful of walnuts, fruits and only 100 percent whole grains. Aim for 10,000 steps a day, do resistance exercises, manage stress, keep immunizations up to date and avoid secondhand smoke as if it were poison – it contains arsenic!
And if you're slated for statin therapy, remember these drugs can slash heart-attack risk by 50 percent even in people with normal LDL cholesterol levels and higher-than-healthy hs-CRP scores. If you're worried about side effects, ask your doc about taking a statin every other day and a daily dose of 200 mg CoQ10. This important enzyme seems to be depleted by statins, and taking it seems to restore exercise tolerance and muscle endurance. Also, ask your doc about taking these daily: 900 mg of omega-3 DHA; 420 mg of the purified omega-7 (containing less than 3 percent palmitic acid); 1,000 IU vitamin D-3; and 162 mg aspirin with a half glass of warm water before and after. But remember, these are not substitutes for eating only healthful food, getting physical activity and managing stress.

Clinton records: President foresaw 1994 losses
WASHINGTON -- Sensing a Republican tidal wave, President Bill Clinton worried in the summer of 1994 that Republicans were energized heading into the midterm elections while his Democratic base was deflated. "There's no organization, there's no energy, there's no anything out there," Clinton said of his own party.
"They're organized and they're working," the president observed of conservative activists, according to an August 1994 transcript. "And our cultural base. ... They walked off."
Clinton's concerns turned out to be justified: Republicans swept to power in the fall elections, wresting control of the House and Senate from the president's party. The transcript was among 4,000 documents released Friday by the National Archives.
They're just part of the 30,000 pages expected to be released in coming weeks. The documents, which cover Clinton's two presidential terms, are much anticipated in the political world, partly because then-first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton is considering her own bid for the presidency in 2016.
The documents shed ample light on her husband's administration, highlighting the behind-the-scenes maneuvering of aides, the stroking of allies and erstwhile opponents and the sting of the first Republican takeover of Congress in 40 years.
Clinton's aides coped with that debacle by issuing strongly worded but sometimes conflicting advice on Clinton's tone -- in the 1995 State of the Union speech and other public events.
Adviser Paul Begala said the president should not joke about historic Democratic losses.
"I really don't like the president making fun of our ass-whipping in November, or suggesting it was because of him we got creamed," Begala wrote in a memo to speechwriters.
Clinton adviser James Carville disagreed. "He thinks it'll be effective self-deprecation; I'm concerned it could look like a white flag of surrender," Begala wrote.
Don't be too contrite, White House aide Todd Stern warned.

Creating your own Clothes
There are several ways and methods of creating your fabrics in the style that you please. But before you do that, having a plan of giving the end products of your labor a new look, is almost everyone's prior plan. Well, having birmingham t-shirt printing in your designs plan with regard to efficient printing, should be in your list of priority. There are several classes of creating your fabrics in the way that you would please. These classes of fabrics creation are-
Click here for birmingham t-shirt printing
This is a method involving the creation of textile and fabrics with the manipulation of yarns to make stitches. Stitches are made from several loops of yarns. It will take quite an experienced professional to knit a perfect fit. Though there are machines which have been invented to aid in making perfect knits with perfect kind of fits.
This method allows you to create strands and threads of other materials by interlocking small or large loops of yarn. It adds a whole new dimension to the kind of knits that you make with incredible edges and embellishment. The stitches made from crocheting can either be single, double or triple.
There are several other sub-crocheting methods like the Tapestry crocheting and the Bosnian crocheting. These kinds of crocheting are characterized by carrying one or more yarns and the same time crocheting. These techniques are deemed to be primarily circular but on the other hand, cutting the fabric for sewing is eminent.
This method involves fiber twisting or silk, wool, angora and mohair roving into a long and continuous thread by the use of a drop spindle or a spinning wheel. Hand spinning and machine spinning can be used depending on the scale of production that is being targeted. Before being an expert in wheel spinning, you have to know the various functions of the components of the wheel. For you to make a balanced yarn, first you will get to practice singles spinning and then get to learn on hoe to ply two singles.
This is a textile production method exhibited by interlacing two or more sets of yarns or threads. Interlacing is done in right angles to produce clothes and fabrics. Weaving can be learnt on a rigid heddle loom in a step by step procedure to come up with an excellent weave of cotton, wool or fabric.
This is the most important class in creating fabrics and clothes since it is the last step and actually one that will apparently give your clothe and fabric the best looks that would attract anybody who understands the meaning of arts. Painting your clothes yourself could be an option but if you want your end products to have the best designs and paint works, then letting Birmingham t-shirt printing give you the tips of getting the best designs is also an option. Their services are obviously the best because they offer free artworks they give high quality printing and their prices and charging rates are very much affordable. Let your printing have a graceful and wonderful finish by judging by what you really want done for you.

Product Review (submitted on October 23, 2013):
I just got some of this tea, It's okay in flavor, but I tend to add a small bit of honey in it. If you like apples and cinnamon then you will defiantly like this tea. It taste 100 percent as it looks.

You dislocated his arm and then bought him two shots to numb the pain while you pushed it back in
You must be Logged in to post a comment
At least you were considerate enough to numb the pain!
In soviet Russia, the pain numbs YOU!
Did that for a bro but it was a dislocated leg socket. He was beat up by a football player that went pro eventually when he was a bouncer at a bar in college. Two of us popped it back in and he did a bottle of Jack the rest of the night.
bear gryllis doesnt need to numb the pain

Recent reviews
Excellent 4.5 /5 from 152 reviews
bed and pillows not so good
We booked this hotel for 3 nights as part of our family trip. We chose this one for the kitchen/big refrigerator, free breakfast, and pool access. It was great overall, but we wish the kitchen came with more basic equipment for actual/serious cooking. There were only one small frying pan (no cover), two small pots (no cover), and oversize cooking utensils (not matching the size of pan/pots). There was a toaster but no coffee maker. There was no kettle (for boiling water) but there was a microwave. Access to cooking oil/salt and pepper would've been great too. One more thing: The hotel TVs at the Cafeteria show only FOX News (cable) and FOX local news. I wish the hotel offered something more politically neutral.
we stayed for 9 days and it felt like home except we are accustomed to high thread count sheets at home.
Stayed a couple nights with family. Very comfortable and convenient to airport. It was great having stores and restaurants nearby! The hotel was very clean and comfortable and the rooms were spacious.
I have yet to be disappointed by the residence inn
Is the description of this hotel not correct? Tell us

There's an old "occult" trick called the "Quarter Trick" that has been utilized to develop occult capabilities. How does this connect to Penis Enlargement?
Of all, the word "occult" simply means "concealed" or not accessible or much-interesting to the general public. "Occult" teachings aren't wicked or Satanic, per se; though there are some evil sides to some branches of certain occult teachings. The "Quarter Trick" is simply a European-Occultist technique on how to establish and train yourself to obtain what you desire from life - No matter what it is.
The Quarter Trick pertains to re-wiring your mind to look (and discover) something that you are not familiar with. When you end up being aware of its existence, then it is easy to find. You do start to do this, automatically, through a mindful frame-of-mind, to find what you are trying to find.
For this method, you tell yourself that there are coins to be discovered all over the place. You realize that they slip out of individual's pockets when they get their keys out, that they fall through their pockets if they have holes in their pockets, that people toss away coins that they feel have little value, and so on ...
So one starts to tell themselves that they will start to begin these coins.
The important things of it is, if you are not looking for the coins; and if you don't know the coins are out there, you will never ever find them. Once you begin to re-program your mind to realize the existence of these coins ... Well, they just start popping up all over the location. If you really get into the method, you can't hardly go anywhere without discovering these coins.
(Important note: If you discover a coin, no matter if it is even a penny, choose it up. This allows your mind to constantly be open to the possibility of finding these coins and increasing your wealth and the consistent abundance of wealth to come your method.).
So, you're probably questioning: "What does this have to do with penis enhancement?"
If you are major about penis augmentation and desire to increase your size, you should be constantly working at it and striving to discover the response which will enlarge your penis. Re-programming your mind to realize that penis enlargement is a truth and that you can not only find the answers to your augmentation questions; however that you can likewise use these techniques will permit you to in fact "find" an approach of enlarging yourself.
You can inform yourself that you are going to stroll in the park today and find a treasure chest complete of gold. You have to be down-to-earth in your desires and understand that you can discover the potential or possible, but barely the unlikely or impossible.
The exact same point-of-view depends on penis enlargement. If you think that you are going to find a magic pill or spot that will offer you five inches in a week's time, without any work or effort on your part; well, it's potential that you won't find that magical potion that will expand your penis. But http://www.mensizematters.com/ might help!
If you take a logical and practical technique, and realize that there are approaches of penis augmentation that give tangible results; then knowing this will enable you to take benefit of these concealed treasures.
Our experience reveals us that enlarging oneself through natural penis exercises in fact works and provides real outcomes. Do your homework and explore this approach of augmentation. As soon as you see the information and experiences that other men have actually had, then consider them your coins on the street. Now that you understand they exist, you will have the ability to discover them; then by using them, you will have the ability to enlarge yourself without the dissatisfaction of techniques that do not give any worthwhile outcomes.

|Post comment
This is a followup to my original comment. So, after some additional research, I found additional menus that let one set or toggle certain parameters that I don't even understand; however, it looks like a great program for advanced users. Some of the options I ran across were:
H.264: Deblocking alpha and beta strength
GOP size (Keyframe): min/max
Open GOP
Slice: per frame, max, macroblocks
B-Frames: adaptive, pyramid
P Frame weighted prediction
Adaptive I-Frame decision
Video Usability Info: crop, color, chroma
and many more...
Unfortunately, I have no idea what these options do so I will leave them alone; however, someone may be able to use them so I thought I would just share some of the abundant options available in this program.
One other thing I noticed is that the installer downloads two streams. One being labeled FFMPEG and the other being the ShanaEncoder; however, when the installation was completed, there was no sign of an FFMPEG executable left behind so I can only assume the functionality was actually compiled into the executable; therefore, it is not a true front-end for FFMPEG.
And finally, I did notice that it uses libfdk_aac because it is visible in the command string.
In summary, it seems like this program will satisfy the needs of beginners (like me) as well as many advanced users. Please understand I have no ties with the author and I am not trying to sell anyone on this program. I am just sharing my humble opinion. Cheers!
I really like this program! The interface is pleasing. The navigation is understandable. The options are adequate for a beginner like me. And, it is very easy to create a new preset too. It also has a few options (ie, logo, timestamp, prefix file name, etc) that I may use from time to time. All in all, this one is a keeper for me.
Install version 2.10 that is downloading the components normally.
Tried to install the latest version (v2.8), but the installer has to download encoders from other sites that come up as a "404" web page, then the install process aborts.
It worked, it took a short time considering the other process on mi pc, it actually burns subtitles but it doesnt recongnize the fonts in the subtitle even if i had already installed them, so the font looks different than the original video. Please fix that soon.
Very disappointed. I will give you a hint for the next name of the program "IVANA"
Great software...But...Kirara Encoder is gone (No more files/directory on sourceforge).
Its replace by "Shana Encoder" now. (http://sourceforge.net/projects/shanaencoder/)
Very good and fast software.
It is my first choice now.
But I prefer separate 32/64 bit version without .net
Because setup file is unnecessarily larege (almost double)
Slightly faster than the other ones. It is faster than the paid ones as well. Not very much configurable, however.
The subtitles not working for me. All subs are gray, not possible to choose any of them. I'm trying MKV container only. I tried ASS, SRT, SUB and SUP with no luck. I'm giving Overal score 10 because this program is very promising. I hope this going to be fix soon. Thanks to developer(s) for the program and good luck. I think this going to be the new "DVD Shrink" for Blu-Ray's, if you guys still remember the DVD Era.
Tried this tool 1st time today. Very nice indeed. It has lots of filters including a stabilizer that works surprisingly well and is relatively fast as stabilizing filters go. So far, no complaints at all........
Nice s/w with ease of use and GUI. It is very fast, can do DTS audio and quality on x264 MKV is good, but it could be excellent with some fine tuning. The only drawback is not able to drag and drop clip into it. Keep up the good work guys/gals.
Excellent! At least twice as fast as any other converter I've used (Format Factory, XMedia Recode, Video to Video). I've tried both mp4 and AVI conversions with excellent results. This is now my go to converter.
This is brilliant. Highly configurable, attractive and simple interface. And faster than it should be. Excellent tool.
Easy to use, without any problems or errors, but more importantly in all of this, speed, it's one of the fastest programs used by me

THNOC's latest exhibition looks at early Louisiana colonial commerce
Items on display illustrate regional Indian cultures, tobacco economy under the Company of the Indies
NEW ORLEANS — Long before New Orleans became the Queen of the South and Louisiana made a name for itself in shipping and trade, the area was a fledgling colony struggling to turn to a profit. The Historic New Orleans Collection's latest exhibition, "Pipe Dreams: Louisiana under the French Company of the Indies, 1717–1731," invites visitors to discover the experiences of one company that took the ultimate risk, invested millions in the region and lost it all. Opening Tuesday, June 18, at 533 Royal St., the free exhibition will be available to the public Tuesday–Saturday, 9:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m., and Sunday, 10:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m., through Sept. 15.
The history of the period
From 1717 to 1731 the French Company of the Indies monopolized Louisiana, controlling trade, construction, military presence and diplomatic relations with the colony's Indian groups. The mastermind behind the plan, a Scotsman named John Law, hoped that with major investment Louisiana could become a tobacco colony rivaling British settlements in Virginia.
"'Pipe Dreams' brings together objects that illuminate French attempts to establish plantation agriculture in this region at a time when Indians outnumbered Europeans and Africans by 14 to 1," said Erin M. Greenwald, curator and historian at The Historic New Orleans Collection. "By looking at Louisiana's early colonial past through the lens of trade and agricultural expansion, this exhibition will illustrate the complex and often conflicting nature of official company policy in France versus the actual experiences of the colony's inhabitants."
Despite the Company of the Indies' economic failure in Louisiana, its presence helped to grow the colony tenfold and secure France's claim to the vast territory. Company investment facilitated the creation of new settlements and a new capital at New Orleans. It furthered the development of existing settlements and underwrote the passage of countless individuals—from engineers and scientists to clerks and religious personnel—whose combined work helped bring structure to the chaos of colonization.
"The company period was one of tremendous expansion in terms of immigration—forced and voluntary—and infrastructure," said Greenwald. "If Louisiana had not been the beneficiary of company investment during this time, it is unclear whether France could have retained its footing in the lower Mississippi valley."
About the exhibition
In addition to surveying the company's activities in Louisiana and its effects on the region, "Pipe Dreams" will explore the colony's place within the global market, the development of tobacco culture and the interactions among Louisiana's Indian, European and African populations. The war between the Natchez tribe and the French and their Indian allies during this period also figures prominently in the exhibition.
More than 100 items will be on display, including engraved maps; contemporary artworks and drawings; archaeological artifacts from Port Dauphin, Old Mobile, Natchez and New Orleans; manuscripts and three-dimensional items related to the company's origins and collapse; and trade items circulated throughout the company's global networks.
The exhibition will also feature the original illustrated manuscript—and a digitized version—of a young clerk for the Company of the Indies. Marc-Antoine Caillot was 21 when he made the treacherous journey to the New World, where he spent two years working for the company in New Orleans. THNOC, with Greenwald as editor, recently translated and published Caillot's memoir as "A Company Man: The Remarkable French-Atlantic Voyage of a Clerk for the Company of the Indies."
"The Historic New Orleans Collection holds one of the most significant collections of material documenting John Law and the Company of the Indies in the United States," said Priscilla Lawrence, executive director at THNOC. "'Pipe Dreams' is an opportunity for all of us to see and enjoy this collection and to better understand why our area is the diverse and vibrant place it is today."

Saliva collection
Note: Please read all of this section before beginning saliva
Saliva collection is simple and can be performed in your home at
your convenience. Hormones in saliva are stable at room temperature for several
weeks so there are no special needs in shipping to us.
Just send your saliva specimen by regular mail to us in the
prepaid mailer provided.
Patients outside the U.S. will need to provide postage.
When to collect your saliva
In general, the following guidelines are recommended:
Naturally Occurring Hormone Levels
For all hormones
level testing, the best time to
collect saliva is in the early morning, preferably right after rising.
For Melatonin level testing,
saliva collected at 3 AM (interrupting your sleep cycle) when the
hormone peaks is best tested.
How to collect your saliva
For all hormones except
Melatonin, saliva is collected generally in the early morning (AM)
before brushing/flossing your teeth, eating, drinking or applying
makeup. For multiple sample collections, refrain from brushing or
flossing your teeth or eating within one hour of saliva collection.
Rinse your mouth at least twice with cool water, then chew the
sugarless gum provided for 1-2 minutes, swallowing saliva as usual.
You may continue to chew the gum during saliva collection but please
do not spit it into the collection tube. If, for some reason, you are
not able to chew the gum, saliva collection is still possible but may
take longer.
Begin the collection. Remove the cap of the saliva collection tube
and spit directly into the tube. Avoid touching the mouth of the tube
with your hands. All the same instructions apply to Melatonin testing,
except that it should be done at 3 AM.
Important: Hands can potentially contaminate the saliva during
collection. Wash your hands
thoroughly with soap and water before beginning.
Fill the tube at least 3/4 full and cap, making sure the cap is on
evenly and securely.
It may take you a few minutes to generate sufficient saliva.
Neatly print your name, date, and time of collection on the peel
off label and affix to the saliva tube.
Fill out completely the requisition form enclosed with your
collection kit. It is especially important to include the time and
date of saliva collection and to list any hormonal products you are
using. List each product separately and include preparation name,
amount taken and time of ingestion or application.
How to mail your saliva specimen
Fold the white copy of the requisition form and place it
in the prepaid mailer with the specimen tube wrapped with the yellow
cloth in the small plastic bag . Close the mailer and strike
smartly on a firm surface to secure contents. It is a good idea to put
extra tape
to close the end.
Send by U.S. mail. Patients outside the U.S. need to provide postage.
Please remember to include the requisition form.
If you have any questions regarding collection or mailing of your saliva
sample, please feel free to e-mail us at
How often to test
Monitoring Hormonal Needs with Saliva
A baseline saliva hormone test done when you are in your thirties
provides an excellent picture of your healthy, youthful hormone levels.
These levels become valuable as potential target ranges when your
hormones begin to diminish and Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) becomes
an option.
Yearly saliva hormone testing beginning at age forty allows
you to track how quickly or slowly your hormone levels are shifting.
Regular monitoring helps determine when it is appropriate to begin HRT
(if that is your choice) and which hormones need to be supplemented.
Once you have selected your particular HRT, taking into
consideration the variety of preparations, types of delivery systems and
dosage, it is critical to monitor your newly-adjusted hormone levels
with saliva testing to make sure you are taking the appropriate amounts.
Once HRT has been optimized, yearly testing will reveal any
changes in your hormonal needs over time.
If, for any reason, you decide to alter your HRT, saliva
testing will be extremely useful in assisting you to make decisions
regarding your new HRT protocol.
About saliva testing
The knowledge that there are steroid hormones in saliva,
and that they can be measured, has been around for more than 30 years.
But it is only recently that technology has caught up with that
information, making it possible to accurately determine levels of
salivary hormones.
Now, with specific antibodies for key steroid hormones, our laboratory
can be an important partner in your quest for a longer, healthier and
sexier life.
Until recently, steroid hormone level evaluations were carried out on
blood samples, but blood collection has its limitations. It is invasive,
expensive, and difficult to time precisely.
Perhaps more importantly, blood hormone levels represent your body's
total hormone content. Most blood hormones (about 95%) are bound to
specific proteins which carry them through your bloodstream and can be
considered the hormone 'storage' fraction.
The other 5% represents your free hormones - those available to move
easily into your target organs and fulfill their functions. Your saliva
contains these free hormones which can be easily measured to give an
accurate picture of those hormones that are readily available to your
Why test saliva for hormones?
With the convenience and privacy of home collection, saliva
hormone testing is non-invasive and economical.
Blood collection is sometimes very stressful while saliva
collection is simple.
Saliva sample collections can be timed precisely which is critical
for some hormones.
Multiple saliva collections can be taken in a single day to
evaluate daily fluctuation.
Saliva testing is an accurate, flexible tool for adjusting and
monitoring hormone replacement therapy (HRT).
Prepaid mailers containing your saliva specimen can simply be
dropped into your nearest mailbox for delivery to us. This convenience
is possible because saliva hormones are stable at room temperature for
at least 3 weeks.
Saliva testing measures the levels of the free, bio-available
hormones - those hormones which move freely into cells and carry out
the body's critical jobs.
What is a hormone?
A hormone is a chemical messenger that circulates throughout your body
telling your cells what to do. Hormones are produced by organs belonging
to the endocrine system.
Examples of endocrine glands are the pituitary, thyroid, thymus,
pancreas, adrenals, ovaries, and testes.
Some functions of your
endocrine system
Determines sex characteristics (male vs. female genitalia)
Enables a woman to become pregnant and carry a baby
Mediates sex drive
Enables individuals to build strong, healthy bones
Determines how slowly or quickly the aging process proceeds
Maintains the crucial balance between the body's electrolytes
(important minerals such as sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium).
Monitors what's going on in the environment, interpreting what a
person sees and experiences, and translating the information into
physical reactions which allow for adaptation to change and stress
Aging and
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)
The good news is that we are retiring earlier and living longer. Life
expectancy for the average person has increased dramatically over the
last several decades. At birth, life expectancy for the average female
is 79 years, and for the average male is 72 years. Once reaching age 65,
we can expect to live to 84 and 80 years, respectively, and if we make
it to 75, the numbers increase to 87 and 85 years.
However, with living longer there are the serious issues of aging we
must face. For one thing, our bodies aren't what they used to be. There
is a drop-off in our physical endurance with each succeeding decade of
life. That 30-minute workout now takes 45 minutes.
Our knees have shortened that 5K run to 3K. We don't sleep as well as we
once did.
These are some of the changes that we notice.
But, there are changes taking place inside our bodies that we
can't see. At the cellular level, our hormone production begins to
decline as we approach middle age. Slowly, almost imperceptibly, we
begin to see the effects of this hormonal shift. We start to notice
things like decreased energy, mood swings, memory trouble, decrease in
sexual energy and desire, thinning hair, weight gain, and the list goes
In response to our concerns about how we age, the medical community
has focused its attention on the link between the age-dependent decline
of certain hormones and the quality of life we enjoy. Experts in
anti-aging medicine believe that hormone supplementation
significantly decreases the risk of many age-related diseases, therefore
helping not only to extend our life, but also enhancing its quality.
Hormones play a critical role in our health and vitality. One of the
best examples of this role is the diminishing levels of ovarian steroids
at menopause which can lead not only to immediate symptoms such as hot
flashes, but also to long term deleterious health effects such as
osteoporosis and accelerated cardiovascular disease. More recently, it
has been recognized that with age, men have decreasing amounts of
testosterone and DHEA (important androgens) which may be associated with
some of the debilitation that accompanies male aging. In response to
increasing demands from an aging population and a great deal of
scientific information, healthcare providers are recommending hormonal
supplementation to help maintain vitality and quality of life.
The first step in anti-aging medicine...
When it comes to hormone replacement dosages, one size does
not fit all. The way each person responds to replacement hormones is
unique. What works well for one may be too much or too little for
another. If a decision to begin HRT is made, a saliva hormone test can
be an important guide for determining how much hormone should be taken.
Testing can indicate physiological benefit. For example, if a healthcare
provider has prescribed a particular estrogen preparation and dosage, it
is important to know whether the dose is correct.
Too little estrogen will not address short term symptoms or give long
term protection. Excessive estrogen supplementation can lead to
recurrent vaginal yeast infection and/or bleeding, breast tenderness,
headaches, thinning hair, weight gain and depression.
Your bone health
As a woman ages, her risk of developing osteoporosis is greater
than her combined risk of heart attack, stroke, and cancer of the
breast and uterus.
Millions of fractures associated with osteoporosis occur
each year.
Such statistics are sobering, especially when considering how current
treatment and medication can prevent this debilitating disease making
many fractures related to osteoporosis avoidable. Every woman needs to
be aware of her risk of osteoporosis.
The process of removing old bone and replacing it with new bone is
called bone turnover or bone resumption.
Within bone, there are cells
called osteoblasts whose function is to make or form new bone. There are
other cells called osteoclasts that break down or reabsorb old bone. If
bone breakdown is happening faster than bone formation, the net result
will be an overall serious loss of bone - osteoporosis.
Until the age of about 30, the body builds bones efficiently. Then,
as part of the aging process, bones begin to break down faster than new
bone can be formed. In women, bone loss accelerates during menopause,
when the ovaries stop producing estrogen - the hormone that arrests bone
One significant benefit of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is
protection against bone loss by returning estrogen levels to
bone-protecting pre-menopausal levels.
Research has shown that post-menopausal women taking estrogen
supplementation have about 50% fewer hip fractures and 75% fewer spinal
fractures (the most common fractures related to osteoporosis) than those
not taking an estrogen supplement.
hormone results
When you have your salivary hormones tested, you will be
able to look at your results to determine your present hormonal status
and see how to proceed in partnership with your healthcare provider.
What was measured
Your saliva hormone values give you an excellent picture
of your 'free' hormone levels. This free portion of your total hormones
is extremely important because it is these hormones which are available
to carry out critical jobs in different parts of your body. About 95% to
99% of your total blood hormones are bound to carrier proteins therefore
not available to your tissues.
On the other hand, the remaining 1% to 5% is free to move into your
cells and make changes. In general, if you have had blood hormones
measured, these results reflect your total hormone levels and not the
crucial 'free' fraction. Therefore you can expect your saliva results to
be much lower than the blood values.
How to use the saliva ranges
Basically, the goal of saliva hormone monitoring is to
determine whether or not hormone replacement therapy or another form of
intervention is appropriate for you. If you are already taking hormones,
testing will allow you to adjust dosages, both optimizing benefits and
minimizing risks. The concept of hormone dosing and titration (dosage
adjustment) is new and constantly evolving towards providing the optimal
level of replacement for health and vitality.
Our current gender and age-based saliva hormone ranges
are guidelines for targeting a hormone level that gives and sustains
optimal health. Ranges given for postmenopausal and older populations
are representative of normal,
un-supplemented hormone levels and not
necessarily those which will provide maximum well being.
Your test results
The test results report form consists of the following:
Saliva hormone levels for the requested hormones
Graphic summary of hormone levels which is
particularly helpful if you have tested the same hormone more than
Easy-to-read age, gender and treatment specific
Expected Saliva Hormone Ranges
Specimen collection time and date
Medical Director's signature and test report date
An Accession Number - used when communicating with
the laboratory
Your results and the ranges
Our saliva hormone target ranges are based on a highly
significant number of individuals representing each of the defined
populations and provide an excellent means for comparison.
Individual and physiological
Some of the ranges may seem broad, but this variation
aptly points out the wide individuality of hormone levels. For each of
us, our baseline hormone levels reflect our sex, our age and our genetic
background. Women have much higher levels of the estrogens and
progesterone than men, and cycling women have higher levels than those
of menopausal women who have ceased cycling. Men, in general, have
higher levels of testosterone and DHEA than women, but in both sexes the
level of each drops dramatically with age. Cortisol levels remain
constant throughout our lifetime, regardless of sex or age.
Importance of the
The ranges represent saliva hormone levels from specimens
collected in the early morning. This fact is important because several
of the hormones (such as testosterone, cortical and DHEA) express
'diurnal variation' which means that levels drop over the course of the
day and are replenished by the body overnight.
If your saliva collection was not done in the early AM, it is important
to make note of the time difference so it can be taken into
consideration when evaluating your results. It is possible that your
healthcare provider requested an alternative collection time to assess
other aspects of supplementation so it is important to review timing
factors. If that was the case, follow the recommendations of your
healthcare provider.
Location within the
ranges if you are not supplementing
For optimal health considerations, the ideal target
within your appropriate saliva hormone range is from the middle to the
high level. For example, if you are a 51-year-old postmenopausal woman
and your testosterone value is 14 pg/ml, you might consider the
possibility of supplementation.
Hormone levels that
fall at the low end of or below
the established saliva ranges
Saliva hormone levels below or at the very low end of the
established range indicate sub-optimal values, and hormone replacement
therapy (HRT) should be discussed with your healthcare provider. HRT is
available in a wide variety of hormonal preparations and dosages. They
can be taken orally, through the skin, under the tongue or vaginally.
Ideal HRT target ranges should be established through a dialog with your
provider. For example, if your testosterone or DHEA level is lower than your
age-specific range, do you supplement back to your age range or,
perhaps, back to a more youthful range?
Hormone levels that
rise above the
established saliva ranges
If any of your saliva hormone levels is above the range,
bear in mind the following:
Hormone supplementation will cause high levels and
thought should be given to decreasing the dose.
If your A.M. cortisol value is high, it could be the
result of a single, stressful event.
This elevation is a normal physiological response. But, chronically
high cortisol levels can be harmful to long term health.
If any of your hormone values is higher than the
range or falls within a much more youthful range (20 to 29 years), it
is no cause for alarm and probably means you are healthy. However, if
your result is exceptionally high, exceeding the physiologic range for
a 20 to 29-year-old, it is a good idea to discuss this issue with your
healthcare provider.
Expected levels from
Hormone Replacement Therapy
Oral HRT: Taken as tablets or capsules, oral HRT causes
hormone levels to follow a cyclic pattern following ingestion which
means that it is important to understand the timing interval between
saliva collection and hormone usage.
Oral doses, on the average, result
in peak levels about 2-6 hours following dosage, falling to the lowest,
trough level between 8-12 hours.
The established ranges on the back of your test results reflect trough
levels. Therefore, if you tested 4-6 hours after dosing, your levels
will be higher than the expected range.

CFP "Letting the Vampire In"
Call for Papers Date:
Date Submitted:
Announcement ID:
Ruhr-University Bochum, Germany, 8-9 December 2010
This interdisciplinary conference focuses on the recent surge of the vampire motif in popular culture to explore both its causes and consequences in literary and visual representations, especially aiming to shed light on cultural conditions and media formats. We invite academic papers on the vampire cult, especially from postgraduate students. The conference addresses researchers from the fields of cultural studies, literature, media studies, gender studies and the social sciences.
The fascination with vampirism has a long tradition for historians, cultural anthropologists and literary scholars. More recently, its analysis from the perspectives of media and cultural studies as well as the social sciences has become increasingly significant, as the vampire motif now increasingly permeates popular culture discourses of adolescence and social difference. What is novel is the sheer dimension of the phenomenon within the last five years: With 85 million sold copies the impact of Stephenie Meyers Twilight Saga has been repeatedly compared to that of J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter-series. Publishers have harnessed the attention aroused by this vampire romance: Numerous authors have diversified the genre and thus opened it up for further target groups. The sub-genre ranges as far as from vampire detective novels to boarding school novels (for instance, P.C. Cast's House of Night novels), from chick lit to re-writings of literary classics and historic biographies (e.g., Amanda Grange: Mr Darcy, Vampyre; Seth Grahame Smith: Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter). Within the last two years the vampires have staked out their own space next to the "horror" and "crime" shelves.
The trend is spreading into new media formats while its economic relevance continues to increase: The box office results of the movies TWILIGHT (over 350 million US dollars worldwide in 2008) and NEW MOON (over 680 million US dollars in 2009) place them on the list of the most successful movies of all times worldwide, thus encouring other productions such as THE VAMPIRE'S ASSISTANT or DAYBREAKERS.
Whilst the TV shows BUFFY and ANGEL (WB Television Network 1997-2004) made the human-vampire love story a popular motif in the late 90s and early 2000s, TRUE BLOOD (HBO 2008) and THE VAMPIREDIARIES (CW Television Network 2009) now pick up on the topic on screen again. Correspondingly, one can find professional (e.g., I HEART VAMPIRES) as well as numerous amateur video-productions online. The latter mainly consist of commentary and reflection on the vampire-buzz, the fascination of which also lies in its nature as transmedia narrative. The fan movements of TWILIGHT, TRUE BLOOD and the like manifest themselves publicly as mass phenomena, hence questioning categorizations of fan culture as subculture. The position of the fan as far off the cultural centre is long passé.
Topics may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Social criticism and contemporary references 1: The vampire as the Other, an allegoric figure representing marginal identities
- Social criticism and contemporary references 2: The bloodsucker as economic agent
- Social criticism and contemporary references 3: gender roles and their representations within vampire fiction and fan culture: discourses of power and of the body
- character and motif theory: facettes and transformations of the vampire as demon, villain, sympathetic hero and angelic figure as well as contemporary witness and historiographer
- literary and cinematic traditions and generic elements: Initiation and adolescence, fairy tale and fantasy, gothic, adventure, crime and erotic stories
- fans, consumerism and "convergence culture"
- Social models: blood ties and other family constellations
- Values: youth cult and "ageism" vs. experience and knowledge
Confirmed keynote speakers:
Dr Milly Williamson (Brunel University), Dr Cornel Sandvoss (University of Surrey)
Selected contributions will be published in the 2011 spring issue of the online journal "kultur & geschlecht"
The conference will be held in English and German.
Abstracts for twenty-minute papers or poster presentations (circa 500 words + short biographical note)should be submitted by 5 May 2010 to the organizers:

Hi All! I'm new here, found this forum doing research as to whether or not consider carrying my 25-06 on this years cow-elk hunt. I had a BEAST of a heavy rifle that was a real witch lugging through the rockies for the past decade now and just didnt want to take it again!
Fortunately, as of today there's a brand new Tikka T3 Lite stainless 7MM Rem Mag in the safe, with plenty of time left to "become one" with it before this years 4th season hunt.
After seeing ALL the debate about the "best round", I'd like to find out what you LIKE - you know, not all the ballistics, bullet weights, velocities, etc..... What do you find you LIKE best to carry on your own hunts? What do you find your "old reliable" and #1 choice to carry out of camp on opening morning?
PS, the "trusty" 25-06 wont stay at home - it's deadly on those 'yotes and will have a box of 117Gr Tripple Shock's along "just in case". But, I'm counting on the new Tikka T3 7Mag to be what I want to grab first heading out of camp on opening morning this year

Don't Drink Alone
It occurred to me that with so much of this website being devoted to politics and the Islamist threat, we should probably use some of our space contemplating the simple pleasures of life. So, today, when both the United States of America and the NRP-Bayit Yehudi Party are facing the vote that will decide their foreseeable future, I figured it was a good time to contemplate the notion of having a cup of coffee and reading the morning paper with your dog sitting in your lap.
The picture was taken in downtown Jerusalem this week, and in my humble opinion spells out the idea of civilization most successfully.
We have cats, so we can only do the coffee and paper thing with them at home. But I assure you it is just as civilized.Yori Yanover
