Whales and Wildlife of the Farallon Islands
Download or Print this page as a PDF file
Gray Whale Migration:
As Arctic days shorten and the surface ice pack begins to thicken and expand southward in October, pregnant female grays, already well into their 12-month gestation, slip south through Alaska's Unimak Pass and begin their extraordinary annual 6,000-mile journey to Baja California. Non-pregnant females, mature males, and juveniles follow over succeeding weeks. For the expectant females, the voyage is a demanding and determined one. Traveling alone or in groups of two or three, with little rest and seldom pausing to feed, they may travel 20 hours and 100 miles each day in their urgency to reach the protected, subtropical lagoons in which their young are born. For the trailing whales, the journey is no less arduous. They swim in groups of up to 12 animals, and reach Baja in six to eight weeks.
By end-January, most females have reached the near-shore waters and lagoons of Baja California which are their destination. Stragglers continue to arrive for yet another month or more. Off the California coast, the "southern" migration lasts from end November through mid-February while the "northern" migration lasts from mid-February through early June. In February, stragglers are still migrating south while the early returnees are already migrating north.
Farallon Islands:
Pregnant female elephant seals begin arriving in December. The first pup of the season is usually born around Christmas, and pupping peaks in January. Two-ton bulls also return to claim their breeding territories at this time.
Gray Whale Migration:
Gray whales migrate northward in two distinct phases or "pulses," the first traveling from December to June, the second from March to July. The earliest returnees are newly-pregnant females, adult males, and juveniles. These whales generally retrace their southward trek, swimming point-to-point across bays and bights, averaging 95-100 days between Baja and Alaska.
Farallon Islands and Gulf of the Farallones:
March ushers in the seabird season, which lasts into August. The Farallon Islands National Wildlife Refuge supports the largest seabird breeding colony south of Alaska. It contains 29% of California's breeding seabirds. Nearly 250,000 birds lay their eggs and raise their young each spring and summer on the Refuge. The most colorful nester the Tufted Puffin arrives, along with thousands of other seabirds, to the Refuge in late March and early April. Twelve nesting seabird species compete for nesting space, vegetative nesting material, partners, and fish to feed their offspring.
June and July are also pupping season for Steller's sea lions. The Refuge and surrounding waters have been designated critical habitat for this endangered species. Northern fur seals were completely eliminated from the Farallon Islands in the 1800s, and just recently (1996) began breeding again on the Refuge. Several pups are born each year in the summer. Although the Farallon Islands are not considered a breeding area for California sea lions and harbor seals, they sometimes pup on the Refuge, especially during warm water years.
In May, the first humpback and blue whales of the season start to arrive along the Continental Shelf and in the Gulf of the Farallones. They come to these waters to feed primarily on krill but humpbacks also feed on schooling fish such as anchovies and sardines. Whale populations were decimated by commercial whaling and many scientists feared that blue whales might have been reduced to the point where they were doomed to extinction. Recent research has revealed that a surprisingly large number of both blue and humpback whales feed on krill in California waters. Humpack whales frequent Gulf and Continental Shelf waters from May through November. Although the concentration of blue whales off California is higher than in any other location in the world, they are seen sporadically in Gulf waters.
Farallon Islands and Gulf of the Farallones:
From September to November the Farallon Islands are dominated by transient populations of wildlife especially songbirds and other landbirds that occur during fall (and to a lesser extent spring) migration. White sharks, attracted to Farallon waters by the abundant seal population, are most numerous in fall.
Whales are continuing to gorge themselves on food before they begin their migration to their breeding and calving grounds. Most humpbacks appear to migrate to tropical waters off Mexico and south to Costa Rica. (See the California/Costa Rica Connection.)
Gray Whale Migration:
The Chukchi and Bering Seas lie north and south of the narrow straits separating Alaska's Seward Peninsula from the easternmost thrust of Siberia. It is in these sub-polar seas that most gray whales spend their summers, gliding through icy waters rich with nutrients. Unique among whales, they are bottom-feeders, a trait which earned them an earlier nickname: "mussel-digger." Although they occasionally feed on schooling fish or swarming crustaceans, small bottom-dwelling creatures called "amphipods make up the bulk of their diet. Although the total quantity of daily food consumed is not known, it is not uncommon to find ten or more wheelbarrow loads of amphipods in the gray's enormous, three-chambered stomach. The result by summer's end is an accumulation of six to twelve inches of oily blubber, which will be an energy reserve during the winter months of migration to Baja California.

When the rock band network is in the wii?

It sold like garbage, so they cut their losses.

Witticus: "GeeNef speaks to me like schizophrenia, his words touch me where my priest could reach."
Will RB still work on WiiU? What about songs we already paid for? Will it be like the other consoles and we can upload songs from previous discs?
The Wii U is very compatible with Wii games and so I would like to hope that these sort of things could transfer over.
On the other hand, Nintendo doesn't use an account system, and downloads are only licensed for the console they are bought on. (My Wii broke and when I got another one, all my DLC disappeared forever int he legal loopholes of Nintendo's company)
I hope when they do port them to the Wii or Wii U, they better NOT do metal songs. I look at the list and there's 30 something rock songs for wii RBN, and 60 FRICKIN' METAL SONGS out of the 157 or so! Country seems to be a popular genre, I have read comments about people wanting country for Rock Band, and there is only 1 country song for RBN Wii.
I think the metal overload is an explanation for not selling much.

The mission of LPS is to advance and promote the art of photography in the River Parishes of south Louisiana. To help achieve this goal, we offer our members a variety of programs, classes, seminars, and field trips throughout the calendar year. And on occasion, we get together just to have fun. Meetings
Our meetings are held the third Thursday of each month at 7pm, except December. We meet at the Baton Rouge Garden Center, 7950 Independence Boulevard, across from the Louisiana State Police headquarters. Visitors are welcome to attend any meeting. For those wishing to become members, dues are $25 per year, plus $5 each for additional family member. Each meeting consists of a competition and a program featuring a guest speaker. Members are encouraged to submit entries for the competition. Judges rate the entries and results are announced at each meeting. Who wins is not important, what is important is the knowledge gained from studying other entries and sharing in the details of how those images were captured.
We offer members educational classes, each covering a specialized topic, by their request. Such topics include digital photography, Photoshop, macro photography, and many more. Further, some topics may be broken down into skill levels: beginner, intermediate, and advanced. Classes are usually held on weeknights, for 2-3 hours in length, but on occasion may be held on a Saturday.
Occasionally, LPS is proud to bring in one or more of the top experts in some aspect of photography for a seminar and/or workshop. Attending a seminar or workshop by these professionals on your own can cost hundreds of dollars. But as a club, we are able to bring these seminars to our members for a small fee per member. Hands-on workshops will have a limit on participants and may require an additional, but modest, fee.

Foyer and Crush Hall - Banqueting Halls and Dinner Dance Venues
First impressions matter, and visitors entering the foyer of the Senate House – which leads directly into the Crush hall, the awe-inspiring space at the heart of the building – are always delighted to receive a warm welcome in such opulent surroundings.
The Crush Hall was designed to impress. Completed in 1938, its elegant, marbled grandeur and gold leaf point to its origins as a ceremonial space, though today it is more often used as a stylish hub for conferences and events. Perfectly placed between the Beveridge Hall and Macmillan Hall, it provides ample opportunity for delegates to talk and network. This grand, historic location welcomed virtually every significant world figure in the second half of the 20th Century, from Winston Churchill to Desmond Tutu. Now, as one of London's most striking spaces, the Crush Hall plays host to conferences and film crews alike, and is also a venue for London Fashion Week. Whether used as an impressive reception and registration area for major events, as an inspiring exhibition space or transformed into the glittering location for a cocktail party, this stately, versatile and timeless location epitomises the Senate House experience.
Key Features and Specification
- Reception for 197 guests
- Cabaret Style available
- Wifi access
- Wheelchair access

Thanksgiving Names:From Myles to Maize

blue-moon Says:
I love Alden! Maize seems really cute, maybe a nn? And I know so many Toms.
skizzo Says:
Tom is way too boring to make a comeback, and Thomas is still overused.
I like Ocean but not Oceanus, because of the -anus ending.
I quite like Myles, I definitely prefer the y spelling because Miles to me is just "miles".
Dantea Says:
I LOVE Peregrine, really like Bartholomew, like Miles, and knew one man named Maize.
alzora Says:
Priscilla and Virginia are on my favorites list, though I would probably just do "Cilla" as a full given name without the "Pris." I actually came to like Virginia because of its Christmas connection: a little girl named Virginia wrote a letter to a newspaper in 1897 that got the now-famous response, "Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus…." Love the idea of Berry in theory, but am concerned the confusion with Barry would be a lifelong hassle. Maize would be a pretty middle name with a longer first name.
heyjudecharlotte Says:
I am actually related to John Alden through my father. Alden is my brother's middle name.
I love Peregrine, Virginia, and Miles.
dannikelli Says:
I'm related to John Alden and have always toyed with the idea of using Alden if I have a son.
heyjudecharlotte: just read that you are related too, too funny.
dresdendoll Says:
There was a female Peregrine on Bravo's reality show "Work of Art," so I think of it as a girl's name. I like Alden for something different, though I prefer Adler. I love surname names, so I like Smith a lot. Priscilla just makes me think of Presley. I like Virginia because it reminds me of the "Yes, Virginia" letter. Berry is too sweet. And I think Maze is cooler than Maize.
dresdendoll Says:
And I prefer Thom over Tom…
rollo Says:
I am over the moon to see that Miles has hit the popularity list at last! What a fabulous name, distinguished, handsome, classic.
When my son was named Miles in 1975 it was practically unheard of, thank goodness people see the magic of Miles now.
It is simply a fabulous name, stand out imo.
strawberrytree Says:
Love Alden and Virginia. I'm not a fan of nicknames as legal names, but I love Thomas nn Tom. Love Barry, but not Berry.
Kibby Says:
Love both Peregrine and Virginia!!!!

ChemistDirect wins an early Christmas bonus…12/06/2013
Future Fifty recognises the UK's most innovative and potentially transformative growth companies. It's a great programme that helps the chosen businesses find support and advice from the UK Government and private sector experts to help them become world-class companies.
So we are delighted that ChemistDirect is one of this year's very select group of Future Fifty. It's a brilliant recognition of not only the hard work from CEO Stuart Rowe and everyone in the business - but a sign of the huge potential that the company has.
Great companies can come from anywhere - announcing Atomico III, our $476m fund to help them scale11/19/2013
Great companies can come from anywhere. Talent, ambition and success know no borders. And no matter where they start out, these days great companies can also scale internationally from anywhere. As we've seen recently, the very best are becoming global leaders and doing so faster than ever.
That doesn't make it easy. Technology has simplified many things, but when it comes to expanding internationally, the business and cultural challenges remain hard - most people underestimate just how hard. But it's vital to building lasting success at scale.
We founded Atomico in 2006 to help entrepreneurs - primarily those outside Silicon Valley - to meet this challenge, and we're pleased to say we have now closed our third and most recent fund, Atomico III, at $476m, three times the size of our previous fund and oversubscribed. We've met a lot of institutional investors who share our excitement at the global opportunity and Atomico III's investors, alongside the general partners, come from across Asia, the US and Europe, including the EIF.
6Wunderkinder hits new milestone (and crosses its next funding round off its to-do list)11/12/2013
We know that great companies can come from anywhere, and we spend a lot of time with entrepreneurs outside Silicon Valley who have the potential to build international, category-winning businesses. So when we first met Berlin-based entrepreneur Christian Reber, we knew that he and his co-founders were creating something special with 6Wunderkinder and their beautiful to-do list product Wunderlist.
As well as loving their product, we were struck by Christian's total obsession with the company's brand – from every tiny detail of the logo, to how they could build a brand which resonates globally on all devices, with users from North America to Europe to Asia across Android, iOS, Mac, Windows and the web.

Home >> Professional Menu Board Services
Menu Board Display Planning
The development of a successful menu board package involves a number of elements that, when done right, takes hours of research and planning to properly deploy. What often occurs is that most people overlook this fact, and go with a menu board system without giving it the passing thought it requires.
Whether you are an owner/operator of a single location or manage multi-unit facilities, how do you account for the time it takes to develop the ideal menu board solution? Where do you even start? How do you balance your objectives with your given budget? What designs, materials or functionality would work best given your environment? Where should you place your various signs to ensure you are generating the most sales? Origin addresses all of these questions, and more.
Real-Life Example:
Long Island-Based Convenient Store Chain (40+ locations) – This chain services their customers by drive-thru only, and after ten years using the same menu board displays, marquee signs and banners, it was time for a face-lift. Given a per store budget, Origin executed the following plan after a thorough discovery process:
Saved thousands by using backlit banners for the marquee messaging, avoiding the cost of all new acrylic letters, numbers and backings that would have been needed to make it look good
Saved thousands by steering them away from using drive-thru menu boards and communications and instead, installed LED cabinets along the walls of the drive-thru areas
Created grid faces for the LED cabinets so that future graphic swap outs are a fraction of the cost
Cleaned up the overall look by taking down all of the corrugated cardboard signs and erecting weather proof vinyl banners

Sentosa: SKY RIDE
Packaged with the Luge ride is the Sky ride, unfortunately for me. I'm a bit afraid of heights. I remember I was too afraid of the heights when we rode the cable car in HK Ocean Park, which was enclosed. Now you can imagine my fear as we rode the sky ride which was like a bench, no enclosure, moving up in cables.
It's a good thing though that I was too afraid to take videos as it started to rain when we were in mid air. I didn't want the digicam to get all wet. That's my excuse for wearing that ugly towel over my head. At least, I'm sure I won't get sick or have any skin infection such as eczema.
What you see in the background is real. That's how high we were! My daughter was crying not because of the heights but because she was getting wet from the rain.
This is a shot from above (while riding the Tiger Sky Tower) of the Luge track and on the lower left side you can see the sky ride.

Step 1: Don't cut down any trees or The Lorax is going to have to come down and kick your ass! Or maybe I should say butt, since this is a family movie.
Step 2: Keep it simple. Dr. Seuss' The Lorax is really a simple message about industrialism and the environment, all tied up in a colorful Dr. Seuss bow. The story centers on 12-year-old Ted (Zac Efron), who lives in a town called Thneedville where there are no trees and people have to buy fresh air in giant containers (from the town's short greedy millionaire). It's a happy place, full of plastic things, but all Ted cares about is winning the heart of his next-door-neighbor Audrey (Taylor Swift) – and when he finds out she wants a real Truffula Tree, he decides he's going to get her one.
Step 3: Get a Truffula Tree. But where does one acquire such a thing? Ted's Grammy (Betty White) tells him he has to go outside the confines of the town and find the Once-ler (Ed Helms) and he'll show Ted how to get a tree. Once outside in the grim, polluted wasteland, Ted does indeed find this mysterious character, who tells Ted he was the one responsible for the lack of foliage. The Once-ler then launches into his tale of ambition and greed at the expense of the environment – and how an odd creature named The Lorax (Danny DeVito) tried to stop him. Now, The Once-ler is just waiting for the right person to help him redeem himself.
Step 4: Say it right. The vocal talent fit their characters succinctly, with no one actor outshining the rest. Helms perfects the optimistic doofus role once again, while DeVito plays the acerbic, grumpy yet ultimately wise The Lorax with aplomb. Efron has the right mix of innocence and determination as Ted; Swift doesn't have to say too much – and of course, White has some of the better lines. What in the world did we do before Betty White resurfaced as the funniest 90-year-old woman on the planet?
Step 5: Long live Dr. Seuss! Although the 1971 The Lorax wasn't one of the Dr. Seuss books I grew up with, they are all still very familiar in look, feel and content. This film pays homage to that – and in CGI 3D, no less. It's bright, colorful, strange and wondrous, and any small child should be thrilled to be immersed in the surroundings. My only complaint about The Lorax would be as an adult. I've gotten used to animated films appealing to an older audience with clever pop culture references and hilarious, over-the-heads-of-the-small-ones-sitting-next-to-you dialogue. Not a whole lot of that in The Lorax, but that's OK. There's still that great message about going green, which, in my opinion, never grow

I follow back all my followers, because ya'll are awesome (: I really love to play sports. My favorites are soccer, basketball, tennis, as well as dance. I love my extended family more than anything. We get along so well and always have a good time. I love swimming and tanning and reading a good book, but I also love snowboarding in the winter. I'm also into photography and just seeing life from a different prospective every now and then. I actually love when people come to me with their issues. It makes me feel like someone has trust in me and it feels good to know I can help someone through a difficult time. Feel free to ask me anything, I'll be happy to answer! :)

For each axis, the NumLabGap value gives the spacing between the axis line (or edge of the plotting area, if appropriate) and the nearest edge of the corresponding numerical axis labels. Positive values cause the descriptive label to be placed on the opposite side of the line to the default tick marks, while negative values cause it to be placed on the same side.
The NumLabGap value should be given as a fraction of the minimum dimension of the plotting area, the default value being 0.01.

Lookin' For A Home
The re-election campaign of President Barack Obama, known as Obama For America, is looking for the location of a campaign headquarters, reportedly in the Edgewood Drive area of Lakeland. If true, that means that the 2012 headquarters will be a marked change from the local headquarters in the president's successful 2008 campaign. Then, the Obama For President Headquarters was no where near residential areas and was set off of County Line Road as more of a phone center and campaign poster warehouse… Read More »

Classy Adult Store
What's the definition of classy? That's what I'm saying. Adult stores… I do know one thing, I can't take seeing more crappy sites with a lot of goofy adult content that doesn't interest me. What I want are good products so that I can feel great about myself. That's all I want. Is that too much to ask for (smiles)?
A classy adult store where I can buy products from a repuatable company at great prices, that's all I need. I was almost too ashamed to speak about my real feelings, that I was interested in certain products that others would think I was silly. I'm sorry to say, but who cares what other people think.
What you don't have time to go out and visit the local adult stores to purchase whatever it is that makes you happy? Most people love being discreet. Being discreet often means purchasing online from a reputable online and classy adult store. Okay so all your friends are having at-home parties and you're too ashamed or embarrased to attend. Just go! Go enjoy yourself and laugh. I'm sure there's a classy product you'll see and be interested in. Go, and I said go now!
Well we have a little secret that we're afraid to talk about. Our secrets to feeling awesome and beautiful go beyond mere hype. It's real baby, so real! We'll tell all in an upcoming blog, so stay tuned. We want to hear about all of your secrets too, shhhh we're not telling.

The Perl interpreter, perl, doesn't often crash, but if it happens, not even the excellent Perl debugger will be able to help you.
If you program in Perl rather than in C or C++, you will probably be grateful for a few things that Perl takes off your hands: memory allocation, counting references, watching out for rogue pointers, freeing up memory – these labors of Sisyphus are offloaded from the developer's desk by Perl's virtual machine, helping developers to keep focused on the implementation. Down below in the engine room, things can start to go awry. Although you will rarely make the acquaintance of a bug in a Perl release that actually takes down the C-based virtual machine, addins programmed by unwary C/ C++ developers can trip you up.

text: By Mike WoitallaFour players - Landon Donovan, Eddie Johnson, Nick Rimando, Alejandro Bedoya - who helped the USA lift the 2013 Gold Cup got their soccer start in the American Youth Soccer Organization, which next year celebrates its 50th anniversary. We spoke with AYSO Director of Development Scott Gimple about its new coaching curriculum, its faith in parent-coaches, and how to create the best environment for young players. SOCCER AMERICA: There is no shortage of curriculums or guides for coaching youth soccer. What makes AYSO's new "Coaching Series" unique?SCOTT GIMPLE: Almost all soccer curriculums are written by soccer guys for soccer guys. It's as if they're written to show other soccer people how much they know about the game. In some ways they're overcomplicated. The reality is that the people we are addressing are all parents. Most of our coaches have never played the game. What we had to do is create tools to show how different soccer is from baseball, basketball, football and hockey from a coaching perspective.Continue reading on SoccerAmerica.com

Browsing Political Studies by Subject "Post-apartheid politics"
Now showing items 1-2 of 2
Piper, Laurence (Berghahn Journals, 2010)[more][less]
Abstract: In recent times South African politics has come to exhibit features typical of many post-colonial contexts, not least the rise of acrimonious and confrontational politics based around personalities and forms of populism. In such contexts rational dialogue and democratic deliberation become increasingly difficult to get going and to sustain. Drawing on Richard Turner's The Eye of the Needle, first published some forty years ago, the paper examines the role religion, and religious organisations, could play in returning such acrimonious public debate to more democratic and visionary grounds. The key point is that religion offers a form of transcendence from the divisive and bitter particularities that animate contemporary political conflicts. It does this through the spiritual affirmation of our shared human worth due to the love of God(s). From this recognition, achieved through spiritual appeals, the conditions for more rational and democratic debate can be retrieved. In addition, religious transcendence redeems the value of utopian thinking, and thus could help re-orientate public debate from a politics of blame for past wrongs to a politics of imagining of future rights.

Piper, Laurence (Routledge, 2010)[more][less]
Abstract: Introduction: It is common cause that the rise of Jacob Zuma in South African politics signals change; what is contested is the nature and extent of that change. For example, Zuma's champions in the Congress of South African Trade Unions (COSATU) and the Communist Party (SACP) describe his rise as a victory over the authoritarian Thabo Mbeki and his neo-liberal '1996 class project' (Craven 2008). Many detractors, including some on the political left as well as the right, see Zuma as heralding an African populism which shields patronage behind popular bigotry. As well as disagreeing on whether Zuma's colours are truly red or black, there is significant disagreement as to whether Zuma's ascent will herald a 'tsunami' of change, washing away apartheid's legacy, or more of an 'eddy' in the current of capitalist develop¬ment in South Africa. Hence, within the SACP are both those who see Zuma as the 'vehicle of sweeping change' and those who just 'hope and pray' that Zuma will support left policies (Pillay 2008). Similarly, amongst those who see Zuma's ascent in terms of elite rivalries some fear a corrupt and incompetent patrimonialist, while others see a wily but personable prag- matist keen to keep business confidence (Economist 25 September 2008). Who then, is the real Jacob Zuma, and what interests does he really represent? What will his leadership mean for the future of governance in South Africa, especially as regards its democratic consolidation, economic growth and development? These are the questions which occupy the authors of this special edition of Representation. I now survey some of the answers before interpreting the directional pull of their collective weight; the sum of which suggests we stand at the beginning of a new and more familiar era of postcolonial politics in South Africa.

Could someone tell me what buildings they are referring to and their intrinsic value as as tourist attraction?
Also, could someone provide a link to the River Corridor Commission's "river corridor master development plan";
"The 52-page document details design guidelines and historic preservation goals, although the municipal swimming pool is one of the area's only historic structures."
Thanks in advance.

Good editorial. Not great. A-So far Obama, his staff, and State seem to be escaping again.Clapper is now on the hook.

Yes, so wrong to scapegoat Mr. Clapper. One question. Mr. Clapper has a free will. He is choosing to do join the rest of the administration and lie to the American people. Click Here if you Like this Comment
Yes, actually it will end the scandal. Because Obama´s court eunuchs in the MSM get to decide what is a scandal and what isn´t, and (at least as much as His Majesty) they won the election.Republicans keep hoping that getting Obama´s court eunuchs to cover something is the way to make people wake up about Him. It is not. It really, really is not. Click Here if you Like this Comment
"Clapper is the president´s man . For all practical purposes, he is White House staff, as much as the national security adviser. He attends Oval Office meetings and discerns the wishes of the president and senior staff."If Clapper did this, he was ordered to. No way he would have conjured up this scenario about the video w/o the WH approval. More likely, he did it at their behest. Click Here if you Like this Comment
Possible reply to #1: "Off topic. Long time posters are absent from this site. Are they in mourning over the election outcome, or what?" ...It could be. The election was a body blow, and watching ideals die IS cause for mourning. However, I saw some of the oldies posting at the Thanksgiving Thread, so maybe their are getting their strength back.As for Benghazi... I believe I heard Rep. Trey (?sp?) Goudy say that Benghazi is an "ongoing MURDER investigation of four men," and not some mere ´scandal´ of the week. We must NOT lose the language on this.These men were murdered... and the Ambassador - a gay man - was tortured & murdered due in part to a hate crime. I want to know WHERE the Gay community is re: this HATE CRIME???...crickets...??? Click Here if you Like this Comment
So...who made that "Commercial" that people were talking about ? Does anyone have a link to that ? Click Here if you Like this Comment

#1 ... Yes.On election night, many long-time posters were more than disappointed and/or depressed ... they were distraught. It was a very emotional evening on the thread, and after the election was called for Obama, several posters announced they no longer had any *fight* left in them and would no longer care or follow the political scene. Several even shared the status of their extremely dire financial situations, and the only hope they had was on Romney winning and turning this country around. They proceeded to wish the rest of us well, bid their adieus, and then "sign off."I miss them, too. Click Here if you Like this Comment

It goes without saying that, in any well run administration, things like this don´t go out without approval at the highest levels----at least those next to the President passing the word on to him if he is again "to busy" to attend to it himself or Obama actually doing the approval.. So, as ever, we are left with two choices re: Clapper under the bus: gross incompetence on the part of the Administration, or gross deceit. Either, given their record, is reasonable....at least they didn´t try to blame France via hacking. Click Here if you Like this Comment

So I have been taking my basal temps and they are low. Not one time have I been within range. Most of the time in the 95s and 96s. So now I don't know if Hypo could be causing low T or if I have an issue with with Hypo. or both. After reading on Hypo it looks like treatment for that can be a nightmare as well. I don't know where to even start or if I can get a doctor to get on board trying to help. I am trying so hard not to just give up but sometimes I feel like a lost cause.

quote:Originally posted by Mr. Tired and Dizzy:quote:Maybe I'm not fully awake yet but your E should never be over 100. Hell, it should never be over 40. It said on the Lab Report that it should be under 130 pg/ml and mine was 110 pg/ml. So you are saying this number is wrong?Also, I see that I made 2 more small (?) mistakes: on the Free T I put ng/dl instead of pg/do on dates 2/1/12 and 5/31/12. Sorry.Thank you,Steve
quote:Originally posted by Mr. Tired and Dizzy:Youthfull55Guy,I made another mistake on the DHT, here is what I should have typed:DHT LC/MS/MS 29 on a scale of 16-79 ng/ml [NOT 35-79 pg/ml]Is that any better? Yes, I take Finasteride (Proscar), 5mg daily for BPH. On Wiki it says "Finasteride is a synthetic type II 5α-reductase inhibitor. This enzyme converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Finasteride is approved for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)." Why is that a problem? I don't understand, seems like it would be a good thing.Would it help if I do weekly shots of 1/2cc (200mg/ml strength) instead of what I now do, which is 1cc every 2 weeks (200mg/ml strength)?Thank you for your help,Steve
quote:Originally posted by dev83:Don't just stop taking the proscar becuase you dont want your BPH symptoms to get worse... But you could talk to your doctor about a change of meds or dose. There are other meds to treat BPH that don't act on hormones at all and work by relaxing the smooth muscle in your prostate instead. These meds will also probably lower your blood pressure so that is the draw back if you already have borderline low blood pressure or are already on another blood pressure med.The 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors cause problems for guys by blocking conversion of testosterone to DHT. DHT is a much more potent form of testosterone that makes you a real manly man... You want to have DHT. As you know DHT also can play a major role in BPH(DHT causes development and enlargement of the prostate), hair loss etc.Some guys actually seem to have long term problems with libido, erections etc even after going off 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors. Also, an off label use for these meds is to reduce masculine characteristics for male to female transgender persons(but other meds are required, Finasteride by itself won't make you a woman ) That would probably be at a higher dose too.It's not like you don't have any DHT right now, but it might be worth looking into whether you would feel better with more DHT. but you would still need another way to treat the BPH symptoms so you and the doc would have to weigh benefits vs risks of a change in meds.
quote:Originally posted by Leadfoot9281:yes, the more often you dose the more stable your levels will be. So if your at 200mg (1cc) every 14 days, cut it in half to every 7 days @ 100mg (1/2 cc) and see if you feel any better. Me personally 5 days is my sweet spot @100mg but I believe YM has had luck with 3 day injections and says he uses less T that way than taking weekly or bi-weekly.
quote:Originally posted by dev83:I talked to a friend that is a neurologist MD and PhD neuroscientist... He told me that testosterone is not needed for erections. This is not his area of expertise, but hormones do tie into the nervous system so I would hope for him to know more. If I asked him about DHT's role in the brain he would probably say that it doesn't have any.
quote:Originally posted by Wolverine3309:Y55 Do you split your Armour dose like they say to do on STTM? I would like to just take it once at the beginning of the day, but I have read Mercola, STTM etc recommend that it be split.
quote:Originally posted by Repsol:Hey guys,First off, really appreciate everyone posting all of this great TRT info. I've learned more than than I thought was possible (for me) reading over all of the pages in this thread. I'm 36 yrs old and have been experiencing all of the typical Low T symptoms for the past year or so. Didn't realize what it could possibly be until last month after learning more about it. So I had some bloodwork done back on 11/29 through a local GP and came back with these numbers:(Labcorp)Total T = 259 ng/dl (348-1197)Free T = 9.6 pg/ml (8.7-25.1)PSA = .4 (< or = 4.0 ng/ml)While talking with them about my results, I learn that they do every 2 or 3 week injections, and it would have to always be done at their office…So thanks to the reading here, I walked away from that office. So I use the A4M.com search function and found a few clinics in my area. After calling a few places and getting some really high initial consultation $ amounts ($500, is this normal?) and some that I just didn't get a warm fuzzy feeling about, I ended up scheduling an appointment with a Wellness clinic close to my office. Went there week before last, and the doctor seemed like someone who would be willing to work with me, and is open to writing a script and letting me inject at home, which is good. BUT, he initially was talking about setting me up for a every 14 day inj period. Told him that with the research I've done, would really prefer at least weekly with a lesser dosage, or E3D, to avoid the roller coaster. He said that we could try every 10 and see how that went….So, should I be a little worried? Or should I just be glad that he is open to letting me self inject, giving me the ability to do the E3D on my own, once I start?I had more bloodwork done last week with this new clinic and just got the results back this morning: (Quest)Total T = 346 (250-1100 ng/dl)Free T = 61.5 (35.0-155.0 pg/ml)Estradiol = 19 (< or = 39 pg/ml)FSH = 6.1 (1.6-8.0 miu/ml)DHT = 31 (16-79 ng/dl)T3, free = 3.5 (2.3-4.2 pg.ml)T4, free = 1.1 (0.8-1.8 ng/dl)PSA = 0.4 (< or = 4.0 ng/ml)Look forward to reading any feedback/suggestions you guys could give me.
quote:Originally posted by gibson00:So all your latest labs are within the normal range. Why would you want to start on a life-long hormone therapy injections if your levels are normal??
quote:Originally posted by Wolverine3309:Rep: You're correct. Your levels are normal for that of an elderly man. My were also in the 270-300 range. The best docs are hormone docs (like Dr. Crisler) or Anti Aging docs. The understand what your levels should be. Also have a full thyroid panel done as that may have more of an impact on libido and EQ than testosterone.

After shooting random press conferences and practices leading up to the first season of the United Football League (UFL) it was finally time for the real thing. The UFL really hadn't done much in regards to marketing and promotion for the season so nobody knew what to expect as kick off time approached at Sam Boyd Stadium in Las Vegas. The only thing that was for sure was that it would be a game of firsts!
.As the United Football League (UFL) season approaches I once again found myself down in Casa Grande, AZ to cover a practice. Instead of a daytime practice like the previous shoot this would take place under the lights. I expected the lights on the practice field to be crappy but I would find out it wasn't too bad. With a trunk full of gear, Jennifer and I headed 49 miles south for what would be my last UFL shoot before the season begins with the inaugural game set to kick off Oct. 8th in Las Vegas.

Publisher's Description
At age forty-two, Allison Chamberlain is still making a half-hearted attempt to figure out what she wants to be when she grows up. Although she has been a pew-sitting member of a church for seven years, "prophet" has never been on the short list of possible careers.
Then one Sunday Allison senses a divine nudge to buy a Harley motorcycle and go wherever it takes her. Soon she is wondering if she is called to present the reality of Christ to one of societys darkest cornersand challenge her own church to look beyond their fears.
The first in a brave trilogy from seasoned writer Nancy Rue, The Reluctant Prophet shows how one persons response to Gods call can change a community forever.
Author Bio
Nancy Rue is the author of over 100 books for adults and teens, including Healing Waters, which was a 2009 Women of Faith Novel of the Year, and has recently been named an ECPA 2010 Christian Book Award Finalist.
Nancy travels extensivelyat times on the back of a Harley Davidsonspeaking and teaching to groups of tween girls and their moms and mentoring aspiring Christian authors. She lives on a lake in Tennessee with her Harley-ridin husband Jim and their two yellow labs (without whom writing would be difficult.)
Throughout the book, Rue engages the reader in a very realistic and relatable way and never lets go. From the first page I was drawn in and could hardly put this book down. From situation to situation, we learn more and more about the main character, Allison, and how she is about to make a difference in her community. Rue does a great job of keeping the dialogue fresh and interesting, while also sustaining plot momentum.
After being nudged by God to buy a Harley, Allison soon gets involved in the motorcycle community. At one of the Harley meetings, she befriends a man named Chief, who takes her to visit one of his old friends (named Edwin Sanborn) in a nursing home. This turns out to be the start of Allisons new calling, as Edwins last wish is to see his daughter before he dies. He tells Allison that his daughters name is Geneveve, and that she is a hooker in the bad part of town. Nudged to fulfill this mans wish, Allison goes out to find her. Eventually, she finds Geneveve and brings her to her dying fathers bedside. Edwin dies within minutes of his daughters arrival. Still feeling nudged, Allison takes Geneveve and her son Desmond under her wing and lets them stay at her house. This soon turns into a full-fledged operation, as more abused prostitutes and drug addicts start showing up at Allisons door. Instead of turning them away, Allison shows them the love of Christ and offers them help to change their lives. Little does she know how much of an impact she is going to have on these women and how much she, too, will change because of them.
One of the most distinctive things about this book is Allisons personality. She is sarcastic, defiant, and witty, yet she can also be loving and gentle. This behavior lasts from beginning to end, giving Allison the perfect one-two punch of a woman who can stand her own. But the other supporting characters are what make this book so good. Each person has such a distinct personality; they all seem to be real people. This is without a doubt the most impressive part of this book. I dont think Ive ever read a book that has such relatable and believable people in it.
Complete with action, humor, romance, and truth-telling prophecy (not the future kind), this book is an incredible story of a woman following Gods will for her life. An applicable verse for this is Ephesians 5:15-17: Be very careful, then, how you live--not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is. With a well thought out storyline and a perfect ending, this is definitely a novel that I will never forget. Even though this book is geared toward women, it is appropriate for men as well, and I would recommend this book to anyone who likes great Christian fiction.

Do you remember when the iPhone 4 came out and a ton of people were getting upset, because they either had no signal or a poor signal? Well, at that time, Apple said that you were holding your phone wrong. Of course, it was an Apple problem, not a user problem, but they were not about to own up to it. Now, with the latest problem, Apple is not saying that you're holding your phone wrong, but they are saying that you shouldn't hold it at all.
Siri was released with the iPhone 4S and a lot of people were interested in it. However, not everyone is impressed with Siri. Everyone remembers the Siri commercials when the iPhone 4S was about to be released. Apple tried to portray Siri as a virtual assistant that would be able to give you help and information in response to just about any command you could throw at it.
However, a man by the name of Frank Fazio was so upset with Siri, that he actually sued Apple. Fazio sued Apple, claiming that their Siri commercials were actually misleading and deceptive. Apple's suggestion to Mr. Fazio was that he should buy a different phone.
Fazio was not alone in the suit against Apple. There was plenty of other plaintiffs, as well, but Apple was not impressed. Instead, they responded saying that all of them were quick to complain about the Siri feature of the iPhone 4S, but none of them took advantage of being able to return the phone within Apple's 30-day return policy, so they could purchase a different phone. Also, Apple was quick to note that the launch of the iPhone 4S was their most successful launch of an iPhone ever.
That sounds a little bit harsh to me. Honestly, it sounds like Apple isn't too concerned about keeping their customers. What do you think?
