DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) is an endogenous hormone (made in the human body), and secreted by the adrenal gland. DHEA serves as precursor to male and female sex hormones (androgens and estrogens). DHEA levels in the body begin to decrease after age 30, and are reported to be low in some people with anorexia, end-stage kidney disease, type 2 diabetes (non-insulin dependent diabetes), AIDS, adrenal insufficiency, and in the critically ill. DHEA levels may also be depleted by a number of drugs, including insulin, corticosteroids, opiates, and danazol.
There is sufficient evidence supporting the use of DHEA in the treatment of adrenal insufficiency, depression, induction of labor, and systemic lupus erythematosus.
No studies on the long-term effects of DHEA have been conducted. DHEA can cause higher than normal levels of androgens and estrogens in the body, and theoretically may increase the risk of prostate, breast, ovarian, and other hormone-sensitive cancers. Therefore, it is not recommended for regular use without supervision by a licensed health professional.

Note : DHEA can be synthesized in a laboratory using wild yam extract. However, it is believed that wild yam cannot be converted into DHEA by the body. Therefore, information that markets wild yam as a "natural DHEA" may be inaccurate.
These uses have been tested in humans or animals. Safety and effectiveness have not always been proven. Some of these conditions are potentially serious, and should be evaluated by a qualified healthcare provider.
Adrenal insufficiencySeveral studies suggest that DHEA may improve well-being, quality of life, exercise capacity, sex drive, and hormone levels in people with insufficient adrenal function (Addison's disease). Though promising, additional study is needed to make a strong recommendation. Adrenal insufficiency is a serious medical condition and should be treated under the supervision of a qualified health care professional, including a pharmacist. | B |
DepressionThe majority of clinical trials investigating the effect of DHEA on depression support its use for this purpose under the guidance of specialist. Further research is needed to confirm these results. | B |
ObesityThe majority of clinical trials investigating the effect of DHEA on weight or fat loss support its use for this purpose. Further research is needed to confirm these results. | B |
Systemic lupus erythematosusThe majority of clinical trials investigating the effect of DHEA for systemic lupus erythematosus support its use as an adjunct treatment. Additional study is needed to confirm these results. | B |
Alzheimer's diseaseInitial research reports that DHEA does not significantly improve cognitive performance or change symptom severity in patients with Alzheimer's disease, but some experts disagree. Additional study is warranted in this area. | C |
Bone densityThe ability of DHEA to increase bone density is under investigation. Effects are not clear at this time. | C |
Cardiovascular diseaseInitial studies report possible benefits of DHEA supplementation in patients with cholesterol plaques ("hardening") in their arteries. There is conflicting scientific evidence regarding the use of DHEA supplements in patients with heart failure or diminished ejection fraction. Other therapies are more proven in this area, and patients with heart failure or other types of heart disease should discuss treatment options with a cardiologist. | C |
Cervical cancerInitial research reports that the use of intravaginal DHEA may be safe, and may promote regression of low-grade cervical lesions. However, further study is necessary in this area before a firm conclusion can be drawn. Patients should not substitute the use of DHEA for more established therapies, and should discuss management options and follow-up with a primary healthcare professional or gynecologist. | C |
Chronic fatigue syndromeThe scientific evidence remains unclear regarding the effects of DHEA supplementation in patients with chronic fatigue syndrome. Better research is necessary before a clear conclusion can be drawn. | C |
Cocaine withdrawalPreliminary study shows that DHEA is not beneficial in treating cocaine dependence, but further study is needed before a firm conclusion can be drawn. | C |
Critical illnessUnclear scientific evidence exists surrounding the safety or effectiveness of DHEA supplementation in critically ill patients. At this time, it is recommended that severe illness in the intensive care unit be treated with more proven therapies. | C |
Crohn's diseaseInitial research reports that DHEA supplements are safe for short-term use in patients with Crohn's disease. Preliminary research suggests possible beneficial effects, although further research is necessary before a clear conclusion can be drawn. | C |
HIV/AIDSAlthough some studies suggest that DHEA supplementation may be beneficial in patents with HIV, results from different studies do not agree with each other. There is currently not enough scientific evidence to recommend DHEA for this condition, and other therapies are more proven in this area. | C |
Induction of laborPreliminary evidence, suggests that DHEA may help to induce labor. Further research is needed and people who are pregnant should not self-treat. | C |
InfertilityDHEA supplementation may be beneficial in women with ovulation disorders. There is currently not enough scientific evidence to form a clear conclusion about the use of DHEA for this condition. | C |
Menopausal disordersMany different aspects of menopause have been studied using DHEA as a treatment, such as vaginal pain, osteoporosis, hot flashes or emotional disturbances such as fatigue, irritability, anxiety, depression, insomnia, difficulties with concentration, memory, or decreased sex drive (which may occur near the time of menopause). Study results disagree and additional study is needed in this area. | C |
Myotonic dystrophyThere is conflicting scientific evidence regarding the use of DHEA supplements for myotonic dystrophy. Better research is necessary before a clear conclusion can be drawn. | C |
PsoriasisOverall study results suggest that DHEA likely offers no benefit to individuals with psoriasis but some disagree. Additional study is needed before a firm recommendation can be made. | C |
Rheumatoid arthritisPreliminary evidence, from a case series, suggests that DHEA likely offers no benefit to individuals with rheumatoid arthritis. Well-designed clinical trials, with appropriate endpoints are required before recommendations can be made. | C |
SchizophreniaInitial research reports benefits of DHEA supplementation in the management of negative, depressive, and anxiety symptoms of schizophrenia. Some of the side effects from prescription drugs used for schizophrenia may also be relieved. Further study is needed to confirm these results before a firm conclusion can be drawn. | C |
Septicemia (serious bacterial infections in the blood)Unclear scientific evidence exists surrounding the safety or effectiveness of DHEA supplementation in septic patients. At this time, more proven therapies are recommended. | C |
Sexual function / libido / erectile dysfunctionThe results of studies vary on the use of DHEA in erectile dysfunction and sexual function, in both men and women. Better research is necessary before a clear conclusion can be drawn. | C |
Sjogren's syndromeDHEA showed no evidence of efficacy in Sjogren's syndrome in preliminary study. Without evidence for efficacy, patients with Sjogren's syndrome should avoid using unregulated DHEA supplements, since long-term adverse consequences of exposure to this hormone are unknown. Further research is needed in this area. | C |
Skin agingPreliminary study suggests the possibility of using DHEA topically as an anti-skin aging agent. Further research is needed to confirm these results. | C |
Fibromyalgia (postmenopause)DHEA does not seem to improve quality of life, pain, fatigue, cognitive function, mood, or functional impairment in fibromyalgia. | D |
Immune system stimulantIt is suggested by some textbooks and review articles that DHEA can stimulate the immune system. However, current scientific evidence does not support this claim. | D |
MemoryStudies of the effects of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) on cognition have produced complex and inconsistent results. Additional study is warranted in this area. | D |

Uses based on tradition or theory
The below uses are based on tradition or scientific theories. They often have not been thoroughly tested in humans, and safety and effectiveness have not always been proven. Some of these conditions are potentially serious, and should be evaluated by a qualified healthcare provider.
Aging, allergic disorders, amenorrhea associated with anorexia, andropause/andrenopause, angioedema, anxiety, asthma, bone diseases, bone loss associated with anorexia, bladder cancer, breast cancer, burns, colon cancer, dementia, diabetes, fatigue, heart attack, high cholesterol, Huntington's disease, influenza, joint diseases, lipodystrophy in HIV, liver protection, malaria, malnutrition, movement disorders, multiple sclerosis, osteoporosis, pancreatic cancer, Parkinson's disease, performance enhancement, polycystic ovarian syndrome, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), premenstrual syndrome, prostate cancer, Raynaud's disease, skin graft healing, sleep disorders, stress, tetanus, ulcerative colitis, viral encephalitis.
The below doses are based on scientific research, publications, traditional use, or expert opinion. Many herbs and supplements have not been thoroughly tested, and safety and effectiveness may not be proven. Brands may be made differently, with variable ingredients, even within the same brand. The below doses may not apply to all products. You should read product labels, and discuss doses with a qualified healthcare provider before starting therapy.
Adults (18 years and older):
DHEA is available as capsules, tablets and injections. Commonly used doses range from 25-200 milligrams daily. Higher doses of 200-500 milligrams per day have been studied for depression in HIV/AIDS. Daily use of DHEA has been studied up to one year in the available scientific studies.
Topical (on the skin) and intravenous injections (into the veins) have also been studied, but safety and effectiveness has not been proven. A 5-10% cream containing DHEA has been used up to four weeks.
Children (younger than 18 years):
The dosing and safety of DHEA are not well studied in children. In theory, DHEA could interfere with normal hormone balance and growth in children.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration does not strictly regulate herbs and supplements. There is no guarantee of strength, purity or safety of products, and effects may vary. You should always read product labels. If you have a medical condition, or are taking other drugs, herbs, or supplements, you should speak with a qualified healthcare provider before starting a new therapy. Consult a healthcare provider immediately if you experience side effects.
Patients should avoid if allergic to DHEA products.
Side Effects and Warnings
Few side effects are reported when DHEA supplements are taken by mouth in recommended doses. Side effects may include fatigue, nasal congestion, headache, acne, or rapid/irregular heartbeats. In women, the most common side effects are abnormal menses, emotional changes, headache, and insomnia. Individuals with a history of abnormal heart rhythms, blood clots or hypercoagulability, and those with a history of liver disease, should avoid DHEA supplements.
Because DHEA is a hormone related to other male and female hormones, there may be side effects related to its hormonal activities. For example, masculinization may occur in women, including acne, greasy skin, facial hair, hair loss, increased sweating, weight gain around the waist, or a deeper voice. Likewise, men may develop more prominent breasts (gynecomastia), breast tenderness, increased blood pressure, testicular wasting, or increased aggressiveness. Other hormonal-related side effects may include increased blood sugar levels, insulin resistance, altered cholesterol levels, altered thyroid hormone levels, and altered adrenal function. Caution is advised in patients with diabetes or hyperglycemia, high cholesterol, thyroid disorders, or other endocrine (hormonal) abnormalities. Serum glucose, cholesterol and thyroid levels may need to be monitored by a healthcare professional, and medication adjustments may be necessary.
In theory, DHEA may increase the risk of developing prostate, breast, or ovarian cancer. DHEA may contribute to tamoxifen resistance in breast cancer. Other side effects may include insomnia, agitation, delusions, mania, nervousness, irritability, or psychosis.
High DHEA levels have been correlated with Cushing's syndrome, which may be caused by excessive supplementation.
Pregnancy and Breastfeeding
DHEA is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Because DHEA is a hormone, it may be unsafe to the fetus or nursing infants.

When an impending labor strike in Bradleyville threatens violence, Jessie, an avowed pacifist, finds her loved ones--and herself--drawn into the center of the storm. Book One of the Bradleyville Series.
ePub, Reflowable$8.99
A course-changing event in one's life can happen in minutes. Or it can form slowly, a primitive webbing splaying into fingers of discontent, a minuscule trail hardening into the sinewed spine of resentment. So it was with the mill workers as the heat-soaked days of summer marched on.
City girl Jessie, orphaned at sixteen, struggles to adjust to life with her barely known aunt and uncle in the tiny town of Bradleyville, Kentucky. Eight years later (1968), she plans on leaving---to follow in her revered mother's footsteps of serving the homeless. But the peaceful town she's come to love is about to be tragically shattered. Threats of a labor strike rumble through the streets, and Jessie's new love and her uncle are swept into the maelstrom. Caught between the pacifist teachings of her mother and these two men, Jessie desperately tries to deny that Bradleyville is rolling toward violence and destruction.

Tablets in the sub-15k category have been attracting a lot of attention in the recent past with Zync pricing its ICS tablet at 9,000. Micromax has its Funbook and in the midst of all these brands, there's an Ainol Novo 7 Paladin with its super affordable tag. Can Intex's new muse, the iTab, tip the scales, though? Let's find out. The iTab Design and Build Quality The iTab comes in a complete black outfit; the front has a matte steel finish with a silver lining between the bezel and the screen, giving the tablet a sophisticated look. The back though is a fingerprint magnet due to the glossy finish. We'd have loved a similar matte finish at the back. The 8-inch screen size makes it stand out in a crowd of 7-inch low budget tablets currently in the market. Let's take a quick tour of the device. The front camera and buttons The front consists of the large 8-inch (800 x 600 pixels) capacitive touchscreen with a G-sensor. There's also a VGA camera on the top right, along with a rather unwanted icon of a tower depicting the tablet's Wi-Fi capabilities. All the connectivity options are located on the right. There's a USB slot, microSD card slot, mini USB, 3.5mm headphone jack, power slot, microHDMI, Reset slot, microphone and power ON button – all on that one side. The volume rocker keys and back and menu button are located on the top, while the speaker is located at the back. Connectivity options Owing to the fact that it's an 8 incher and not the usual run of the mill 7-inch tablet, the form factor deserves a special mention. It's easy to hold the tablet in both, portrait and landscape orientations, as there's equal weight distribution. The uniform bezel on all sides is another plus, as we saw with the Funbook that uneven bezel widths don't really contribute to the tablet's looks. At 457 grams, it's not the lightest tablet in the market, but with this form factor and ergonomics, we're definitely not complaining. The iTab is predominantly made up of plastic, but we didn't observe any creaking parts even with a substantial amount of pressure applied. The screen itself does catch a lot of fingerprints, but that's unavoidable. With the iTab, Intex has managed to conjure up quite a looker of a tablet. |

How We Test
The Tech2 Labs receives many products every single week and each of them is tested with the utmost care and highest level of objectivity. There's a constant effort to reduce and totally eliminate subjectivity. Each product is tested according to set test processes so the same test scenario is used.
The ratings awarded to a product are derived from a number of tests and calculations, keeping certain important factors in mind. These factors consist of features, performance, quality and value for money. In case of software and some other categories, build quality might be replaced with ease of use or ease of installation. Products are compared with other products in a similar price range or product category.
The features component of the score is rated based on the kind of features present on a particular product. Features are a big part of what people look for when they're buying a new product such as a phone or a camera.
The performance score is derived from the benchmarks and tests run on the product. In case of the subjective scores, an average of the scores given by the group of reviewers is considered.
Build Quality
The build quality of a product is important so that it doesn't fall apart after some use. The build quality scores from the way the product is designed and the kind of materials used in the product.
Value for money comes from the fact that a cheap product is able to provide most of the performance of a higher priced product. Once again, value for money is judged by comparing pricing and performance of products in a particular price range or category.
There are many other aspects of the product that are looked at such as the bundled software and accessories. All of these scores are aggregated together to form the final score.
What do the ratings mean?
Ratings are simple - higher the score, the better the product. A brief listing of the features and what they mean are given below.
1 - 3
The product is bad in almost every aspect. We strongly advise against purchasing this product.
4 - 6
An average product that isn't the best you can buy, but isn't the worst either.
7 - 8
Product with this rating is highly recommended because it's priced sensibly, has a good set of features and performs well.
9 - 10
Exceptionally excellent product with features and performance unlike any we've seen in the past. A must-have for everyone!

Ask Paul Kiel Your Questions on the Foreclosure Crisis
Six million American homeowners are facing foreclosure. Tomorrow, reporter Paul Kiel will field your questions about this mess.
Reporter Paul Kiel will be taking readers' questions on the foreclosure crisis in a Reddit chat tomorrow, April 11, starting at 3 p.m.
Paul has been reporting on foreclosures for the past three years. He won the 2011 Scripps Howard Award for his work, and his e-book, "The Great American Foreclosure Story," came out today. It ties all the elements of the foreclosure crisis into one compelling narrative. We highly suggest you read it.
Prior to ProPublica, Paul covered congressional corruption and the Justice Department at TPMMuckraker.
You can ask him almost anything about the foreclosure crisis and investigative reporting. (What's the best way to get a mortgage modification? How did the government's decisions affect the foreclosure crisis? To what extent are irresponsible borrowers responsible for the crisis? What's it like to report on such a massive, nationwide problem?)
To join the chat, just head to the Reddit IAmA homepage at 3 p.m. You can read the whole chat without an account, but to participate, you'll have to register via the link in the upper right hand corner. If you like, you can start leaving questions in the comments below, and we'll transfer them to the chat.

Do you think 2nd mortgage lenders will be aggressive in collecting on the notes that were foreclosed on? Do you have any idea about the volume (dollar value and raw number) of second mortgages that have been foreclosed on so far?
Why is there a 'teflon' effect vis a vis the Obama admin on f.c. lapses? BTW - the AZ speech in 2009 had him calling for help for 9 mil., not just 3-4 mil. Yet, it was toothless and Tim G. saw to it that banks profited via fees. Why no outcry?
Bank of America started the foreclosure process on my home before they had an Assignment of Deed of Trust on my property. The document was not created and recorded until three years after B of A bought Countrywide and there are indications that the doc is a robo-signed one. How can I find out for sure? If the document is fraudulent, or their process is illegal, what is my recourse?
With thanks.
Don't you think it is about time the people are told that they are paying a mortgage on a home that is not worth the paper it is printed on? The second liens are a sham and were our own equity that they used to ring us up with. The truth must be told about the unsustainable debt of these financiers is $1.2 quadrillion dollars and can never be repaid. The truth that these financial institutions never lent us any money, they lent us credit and it is GSE's and the banks who borrowed hundreds of trillions of dollars from the U.S. TAXPAYERS via the hijacking of the U.S. TREASURY DEPARTMENT. The fraud recycling and the bankrupting of America under the guise of money owed will not stop until the hidden truth is told to the American people. The people who don't turn to alternative media for the real news and believe the MSM are unknowingly aiding and abetting the demise of America.
Thanks Paul for your very hard work. My problems started back in 2008 when IndyMac Back went belly up. I've spent 3 years digging into this myself. They forced me into foreclosure when I couldn't sell a second property because of their changing the legel description on the deed to include other propeerty i own. I'm stuck with high mortgage rate sine going through foreclosure.
YES, when are these fruadulent banks going to come clean - the American people should know that the "money" lent on these mortgages is created out of thin air by the banks and the FED - they loan this fake money and when the economy tanks because of poor monetary policies of the FED, coupled with poor business models of the banks, the American people get screwed!! When are the American people going to rise up and take this country back from the bankers - they run this country - they are the ones who are fleecing us - let's talk about that for a change!!
When our Attorneys Genearl have the big banks' back, how can anyone expect justice for 99%. "Too Big To Fail" banksters are buying our politicians with the lowest bid.
If a lender foreclose a home for more than it is owed and send the homeowner 1099 saying balance outstanding was say $70,000 but foreclosed for $100,000. How pocket the surplus? Homeowner or lender?
Is there any way to tell the difference between people who need help to keep the house they will live in from those who are speculating in real estate? If yes, could mortgage assistance be conditioned on living in the house (ex 5 years)?
We have been trying to get a modafication loan for about 14 mos we was both out of a job BOA said don't worry about the payment we will get it all modified.For 14 months they lost the paper work about 12 times. We called BOA about 1 and half weeks ago they said looks good still in reveiw.About 3 days later we got just a simple letter in the mail that it was forcloused on.Kinda makes me sick the way the world is going. We did file bancrupsty but maybe to late to save the houseWe was never served any papers at all what happens Now does any one know
I think everyone here has misunderstood this chat invitation. My understanding is that it will take place at 3pm (what time zone, I don't know, I assume Eastern) at http://www.reddit.com link you provided above.
Why no stories about Golden West Financial's role in the subprime meltdown? Does it hit too close to home?
unitl the American people understand how banks make money off of people's labor, nothing will change - banks lend money created out of thin air and then foreclose on properties - it's called the fleecing of America and its been going on ever since the FED came into being in 1913 - the banks make money coming and going - led by the unconstitutional and corrupt Federal Reserve our banking system is fraudulent and based on a flimsy deck of cards that is about to fail!!
I have a question: Who has the horsepower to go around the internet eliminating access to the speech Bush gave on June 18th, 2002 where he and the Republicans launched the mortgage-backed securities pyramid scam?
One of the places it used to reside is:
And if you went to http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2242531/posts you could even find a link to a video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eW9viaJatpo which is also gone.
lollll…did somebody get tired of myself and others like me pointing to the fact that government programs - like guns - can be used for evil, but it takes bad people - like Republicans - to so use them for evil?
(Note: I hypothesize the perception that the American people - if they are pointed to that speech enough - may realize that a Republican "high finance" insider like Romney is even more likely to run an equivalent or worse scam regardless of the decimation of the GS presence in government has a lot to do with it.)

Foreclosure Crisis: Banks and Government Fail Homeowners
Banks and the government have fallen short in helping homeowners in danger of foreclosure.
The Story So Far
Systemic failures at the country's banks and mortgage servicers have exacerbated the most severe foreclosure crisis since the Great Depression, and government efforts to limit the damage have fallen short. ProPublica created an unrivaled database of homeowners who have faced foreclosure, opened a Facebook page to encourage homeowners to share their stories, wrote profiles of some of them, and incorporated their experiences into our reporting. We also provided a comprehensive rundown of the numbers behind the crisis.

WATERFORD - A Waterford woman is accused of punching a police officer in the face and chest several times while being arrested for drinking and driving.
Police responded to an accident in Waterford early Sunday. They found 37-year-old Dorene Goman in her car. She was taken into custody after police say she failed several field sobriety tests.
At the police station, police say she became upset with an officer and punched him several times.
Police say she also slipped out of the handcuffs and tried to escape.
When Goman was caught, police say she punched the same officer in the face and arms.
She's in Saratoga County Jail.

Too often we put ourselves down. Too often we think we are useless, not good enough, less than perfect and thus less than acceptable. Too often we demur praise, or will not praise ourselves. Often we outright hate ourselves, and much of the dominant media and various cultures around us are determined to make us feel as bad as possible, usually so that we will buy things.
In the comments to this post, I cordially invite you to tell me why you are awesome.
Please do not phrase your awesomeness with self-deprecation, or sorrow that you are not awesome enough, or not awesome in the right way. This is a space in which to acknowledge your awesome without condition or qualification.
I encourage you also to respond to other awesome ladies on this thread, congratulating them on their awesome. Please do not do so with wistful self-putting-down disguised as compliments. Do not say, "I could never be as awesome as you are!" or "I only wish that I could one day do an awesome thing like you did." Cherish your awesome as you do theirs.
Here, I'll start off:
I am Karen Healey and I am awesome. Today I helped out friends who needed help with moving. I came home and made a cake with a fantastic rum-chocolate ganache. I then sat on the couch and read a book. I am very proud of my reading skills. They are excellent, and so am I.
You are awesome, ladies. Tell us all how.

"skip the breakfast buffet"
Our experience was good and bad. We were upgraded to a junior suite because a room with a king size bed was unavailable, which was great. The person at the reception desk was super helpful and friendly. The room was beautiful, though for an upscale room, it was surprisingly lacking in the usual toiletries -- there was one tube of lotion and one tube […] of shampoo. We ordered room service for dinner and it was prompt and delicious. The next morning we went to the restaurant and had the breakfast buffet and boy, was that a mistake! The table had no tablecloth or paper covering and was covered with water stains; the buffet was very disappointing -- overly microwaved bacon that was stuck together in slabs, dry and inedible, lukewarm eggs, cold potatoes clearly made from a bag of frozen potatoes, cold muffins. And for the 2 of us with coffee, it came to $32! Overall, this place feels like it wants to be a sort of upscale lodging, but the skimping on touches like standard toiletries in the rooms, and probably the worst breakfast buffet we've ever seen make it fall far short. קראו עודחוות דעת אמיתית של אורח Hotels.com

"very good - would stay again"
we knew the location was a bit out of the way when booking so that wasn't a problem for us (we had a car so drove the whole 2-3 miles to the mall, and places to eat). the only real downside to the hotel was the fact we started off with 2 wet towels in the bathroom - not the best start, but these were quickly swapped over. room was clean, bed was large […] and comfy and shower was powerful and hot. we would stay again if/when we come back to the area קראו עודחוות דעת אמיתית של אורח Hotels.com

Hotel is clean and looks impressive.

It was a nice hotel and very affordable. Close enough to the wineries without having to pay a fortune. We stayed for 2 nights. We were out all day and returned between 9:30 and 10:30 both nights and the hotel seemed very quiet for the rest of the night. The staff was very nice and even offered us tasting passes to some of the wineries. We went to the […] restaurant for breakfast and it was nice. It wasn't crowded at all and the food came out very quick. Pricing was very reasonable as well. The room was nice but not as nice as the room we had when we stayed here about a year and a half ago. We had a little bit of a bigger room with a chaise lounge before. The room we had this time didn't have a chaise and seemed a bit smaller. On a minor note, there was also a sock left behind in the closet from a previous guest. Overall a nice hotel and I'd probably stay again. קראו עודחוות דעת אמיתיות של אורחי Expedia

Our room was beautiful, the pool and spa was very nice and the hotel grounds were beautiful. The location was a little far from town but near the freeway so you could navigate easily. We would […] like to stay there again! קראו עודחוות דעת אמיתית של אורח Hotels.com
"quite comfortable"
The only thing that was weird was my sister wanted breakfast room service, so she put the menu on the door that night and in the morning it was still there. She discovered that she was supposed to call room service to tell them the order was on the door, but that was in the book not on the door tag. Should have said it on the menu door tag to call. […] But other than that it was VERY nice. Oh soda machine was pretty much empty one choice. Minor stuff. קראו עודחוות דעת אמיתיות של אורחי Expedia
The staff at the Fountain Grove were courteous and accommodating. The lunch we got from room service was excellent. The Fountain Grove makes a visit to Sonoma County and Santa Rosa does much to make your visit pleasant and enjoyable.חוות דעת אמיתית של אורח Hotels.com
"Not what the previous reviews make it out to be."
First of all the pool and jacuzzi close really early, so that was a bit of a disappointment and also my t.v wasnt working and i tried calling the front desk a couple times so i decided to walk there and when i got to the front desk the lady said there was nothing she can do about it because no one was there; therefore, i was told "id have to wait till […] morning for someone to look at it and i was only there for one night so that did me absolutely no good. קראו עודחוות דעת אמיתיות של אורחי Expedia

This elegant route is one of the best on the mountain. The crux is catching the line in condition. When the conditions are right, this is a spectacular climb that can have fantastic ice pitches up to WI4. Begin at Tilly Jane or Cloud Cap campgrounds. Follow marked climber trails through the trees. Moving above timberline climb onto a prominent ridge (the lower part of Cooper Spur) Continue up the ridge until you see a cairn on the right side of the trail marking a subtle path down onto the glacier. Move up the glacier sticking to the left side and watching for seracs and crevasses. There are several nice ice lines that have been forming on the left side of the Eliot headwall. Continue up the glacier and move right after you near the headwall. On the right side of the headwall, there are 2 distinct couloirs heading up and diagonally leftward. Both can be climbed, but the right one is usually the more exciting route with more vertical ice. Move into the gullies and follow them to the summit. The left gully has a vertical section at its beginning then is pretty much a snow slope to the summit. The right gully contains 3-4 vertical ice sections with the first two being the most difficult. Descend Cooper Spur or Sunshine to return to start or descend the south side route and make a car shuttle.
6-8 short screws, pickets, 60m rope
What is the best time of year to try this route?
This route can be done most of the year with the exception of when avy conditions are high in winter. However, to get the best conditions you want to climb it sometime in fall after some snow has fallen and then gone through freeze/thaw cycles to form WI on the steep sections. These conditions can also be encountered in the spring as things melt down too but temps can get warm fast causing the route to deteriorate quickly. More than one climber has climbed the route when it is just a long snow ramp. While still a fun route I would say what makes it my favorite route on the mountain is the WI steps.
Recommend a few long slings and nuts if climbed in late fall/early winter Do not underestimate the descent in the Fall!
It's worth noting that the right gully involves some rock at the top if you climb straight up the fall line after exiting the second step. You can avoid the rock by traversing climber's left and merging with the left gully's finish. (which is basically the top of Cooper's Spur) It can be a mental kick in the head to pull through what you thought were the end of the difficulties and realize you're not out of the woods yet.
Not sure why folks have given this route an R rating. By PNW standards the ability to protect oneself is quite adequate. As for the previous comment about moving left around the rock buttress near the top. While one can continue left an top out in the same general proximity of Cooper's Spur, it is preferable to cut back right and continue straight up as it brings one directly to the summit. Though being directly under the summit cornice can be intimidating from some.
What elevation do most people get off the Coopspur and drop onto Eliot? Looks like there's currently (late Feb '12) a steep ramp connecting the spur to the glacier at 9,000'... anyone ever dropped down there?
There's a massive cairn at I forget what elevation that has a trail through the lateral moraine to the toe when it's not covered in snow. With snow it's a 30ish degree slope with a big cairn above it. (typically the cairn doesn't get covered as the wind scours it pretty good. (I think it's about mid 6k') 9k is definitely too high.
