This is the view from the southwest corner of Otokoyama Distribution Reservoir on Mt.Otokoyama located 500 m (1650 ft.) to the west of Himeji Castle, the world heritage.
This is one of the oldest reservoirs in Himeji (completed in April, 1929).
Mt.Otokoyama is known as a good spot to view Himeji Castle. However, the castle is under restoration during 2010-2014. In the restoration process, its main keep is covered with gantries and scaffolds. For that reason, you will see a gigantic roofed scaffolds instead of the castle as you see in this panorama.
The eight islands of Japan sprang into existence through Divine Intervention.The first two gods who came into existence were Izanagi no Mikoto and Izanami no Mikoto, the Exalted Male and Exalted Female. It was their job to make the land for people to live on.They went to the bridge between heaven and earth and, using a jewel-encrusted halberd, Izanagi and Izanami churned up the sea into a frothy foam. As salty drips of water fell from the tip of the halberd the first island was formed. Its name was Onogoro.So far, so good. But when Izanagi and Izanami first met on their island, Izanami spoke to Isanagi without being spoken to first. Since she was the female, and this was improper, their first union created badly-formed offspring who were sent off into the sea in boats.The next time they met, Izanagi was sure to speak first, ensuring the proper rules were followed, and this time they produced eight children, which became the islands of Japan.I'm sure you did not fail to miss the significance of this myth for the establishment of Japanese formal society.At present, Japan is the financial capital of Asia. It has the second largest economy in the world and the largest metropolitan area (Tokyo.)Technically there are three thousand islands making up the Japanese archipelago. Izanagi and Izanami must have been busy little devils with their jewelled halberd...Japan's culture is highly technical and organized. Everything sparkles and swooshes on silent, miniaturized mechanisms.They're a world leader in robotics, and the Japanese have the longest life-expectancy on earth.Text by Steve Smith.

If we carry on with chemically intensive agriculture model, it is quite possible that we may affect our pollinating insects to such a degree that we reach a global "pollination crisis". This is the imaginary future we do not want. This future where bees and the biodiversity they help maintain, have finally fallen victim to chemically intensive industrial agriculture. So, here is the question: should we create a new world or save our own?

Before, during & after your adjustment
To receive and hold a good adjustment, your spine must be at rest before and during the adjustment. Before every adjustment, we advise that you lie on the adjusting table face down with your arms hanging to the floor to rest your spinal muscles and fan out the vertebrae so they may be adjusted easily. (If in your case there is a more suitable resting position, we will advise you).
During your adjustment, your spine and skeleton should be in a resting, neutral position. Do not cross or bend your legs during the adjustment, unless your doctor specifically asks you to do so.
After your adjustment you should get up from the adjusting table by rising up from your side. Do not do a "sit up" or "straddle" the bench, as these movements can destabilize the joints of the pelvis. (Note: getting up from your side is the healthiest and safest way to rise from any horizontal position).
Do not rub, probe or poke the areas your doctor adjusts.
Until your next adjustment
Soreness may occur after an adjustment, particularly if the vertebra was significantly subluxated (out of place) prior to being adjusted. If you do have any discomfort, we suggest that you ice the area, no longer than 20 minutes, once every two hours for twenty minutes. (In fact this is the general recommendation for applying ice for any inflammation). Do not use heat! If you continue to experience discomfort the next day, contact our office to schedule a follow-up adjustment with the doctor, as a fine-tuning adjustment may be necessary.
Important note to new patients: Awkward and uncomfortable symptoms can be expected in the first two to six weeks of care, particularly in the case of patients who have never been adjusted, or suffer from chronic conditions.
Avoid bending at the waist or "stooping" sharply to pick up objects, big or small! Instead, keep your spine straight, bend your knees and let your legs bear the strain. Hold the object as close to your body as possible.
A healthier spine will improve your body's ability to adapt to its environment. Therefore, listen to your body! Truthfully, there is no "one right way" to stand, sit, walk, or sleep. A well-adjusted spine will empower your nervous system to be well "connected" so you may better trust your body's own clues.
As your spine changes, you may notice strengths and weaknesses you were not aware of before you started receiving chiropractic care.
Participate in exercises which strengthen your body, and avoid jarring activities which place harmful stress on your neck and spine. Yoga and pilates are focused on your core and associate well with chiropractic care.
In all forms of exercise, keep your neck in an upright position. Avoid forward flexion of your neck, particularly during work-outs with weights, as this movement can reverse the proper forward curve in the neck, and therefore interfere with your adjustment (which aims to restore and maintain proper alignment).
Many activities in our culture, such as using computers, driving vehicles, and reading books, tend to subluxate the neck into a damaging position. Make a habit of stretching your cervical spine "up and backward" several times per day. Further specific home exercise may be advised for your particular case.
Sit-ups on an exercise ball are preferable to floor sit-ups, to avoid compression of your spinal joints, and to promote elongation and stretching of your spine.
When doing any sort of low back exercise, avoid extending your spine backward beyond 180ْ . There is no need or purpose for your spine to be exerted beyond the normal standing posture (which is 180ْ ) and doing so can compress the joints of the lumbar vertebrae.
When stretching, avoid sudden twists, or movements beyond normal limits of motion, particularly in the neck. Stretching to the end of your range of motion is encouraged. If you hear an audible sound come from your spine during proper stretching, do not be alarmed. However, under no circumstances should you attempt to "force" an audible sound by stretching of "cracking" any part of your spine. Research has shown this type of activity to cause spinal damage, ligament laxity, and disc irritation. Chiropractic adjustments specifically address subluxated vertebrae, while gross manipulations of the entire regions of the spinal column can aggravate vertebrae that are already subluxated.
Rest, Relaxation, Sleep & Posture
Remember the 3 sources of subluxation: physical, chemical, and emotional stress. Set aside a special time each day for complete mental and physical relaxation. This is important in the restoration and maintenance of normal health.
Recognize that sitting is an unnatural position. Our spines and skeletons are healthier squatting, standing, or lying down, since sitting transfers all weight to our lower lumbar spines. If you must sit at your job, we recommend you take regular stretch breaks. We recommend you try either a kneeling chair or use a stability ball in place of a typical office chair.
Cross you legs only at the ankles, not the knees. Crossing your legs at the knees could aggravate an existing spinal condition as well as interfere with the circulation to the lower limbs. If you carry a wallet, do not keep it in your back pocket. Sitting lop-sided on your wallet can subluxate your pelvis.
Be sure to get plenty of sleep to allow your body to recuperate and repair.
Sleep on a firm mattress, preferably one which is neither too hard nor too soft. Your body should be held level while your shoulders and hips depress into the mattress. Your spine should be straight when you are sleeping on your side. Likewise, the ideal pillow is one which supports you head so that your neck vertebrae will be level with the rest of your spine. For this reason, a feather pillow is preferable over a foam pillow. If you are allergic to feathers, be sure to find an alternative that adapts to the contours of your head, neck, and shoulders.
Avoid sleeping on your stomach, which forces you cervical spine into rotation. "Belly-sleepers" are highly prone to severe cervical subluxation.
These "Do's and Don'ts" serve as a guideline. Certain rules apply more to some people than others. Most importantly, these options are only useful if they are implemented in conjunction with chiropractic care. Your spine can not adequately adapt to your environment if it is subluxated.
If you have questions about any of the items above, or another aspect of your health care, we encourage you to ask your doctor of chiropractic.

This can vary, depending on the reason for the suspension. Certain suspensions only require the payment of reinstatement fees after the suspension period is over. Court ordered suspensions may require a clearance from the court. Suspensions as a result of a Driving Under the Influence (DUI) conviction, Implied Consent violation or Mandatory Insurance violation require the filing of an SR-22 certificate SR-22 with MVD and payment of reinstatement fees after the period of suspension is over.
MVD must conduct an investigation of your driving record by reviewing department records and other sufficient evidence to determine that all withdrawal actions are complete; that you have not committed any traffic violations during the period of revocation; and that all other statutory requirements are satisfied. After the investigation, you may receive a Permission to Apply notice.
If the revocation is alcohol or drug related, you will need to provide MVD with a current evaluation from a licensed physician, psychologist or certified substance abuse counselor regarding your ability to safely operate a motor vehicle. For alcohol and drug related revocations you will be required to file an SR-22 certificate SR-22 with MVD.
If you need to begin the investigation process, you may request an investigation packet by telephone. In order to verify your eligibility, the Customer Service Representative may require your full name, date of birth and driver license number at the time of the call.
The SR22 form is a certification of future proof of financial responsibility. Failure to maintain proof of future financial responsibility for the required length of time may result in a loss of your driving privilege and/or vehicle registration. You may obtain an SR22 from any insurance company that is licensed to conduct business in the state of Arizona.
If you fail to appear in court, or fail to pay a fine for a moving traffic violation, the court may direct MVD to suspend your driving privileges. When you have satisfied the court, you may apply for reinstatement at ServiceArizona.com.

The Cold War ended a long time ago, so you can maybe forgive the government's internal spook-hunters for becoming a little lax compared to the old days. But letting a 67-year-old man ferry top secret documents to his home in a '91 Toyota Corolla? Gonna need a good explanation on this one, guys.
An analyst named Robert Harwin at the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency came under investigation last month after coworkers noticed him carrying large plastic bags out of the office. On top of which, Harwin out and out admitted to one that he sometimes took classified material home by mistake. Real subtle, Robert.
Harwin was confronted about items found in his car late last month, and at the time he fessed up to being a hoarder. He was put under surveillance, and after just a few days, he'd incriminated himself enough for a search warrant. When the FBI raided his house, it found and documented a heaping 82 bits and pieces of classified goodness—which you can check out on The Smoking Gun—though some of it's as vague as "Electronic Media" or "Digital Media."
While removal of classified documents is obviously a very serious crime, "I can't help it I'm a hoarder there's a TV show and everything" might be the saddest most adorable excuse for suspected espionage we've ever heard. [The Smoking Gun]

Sofia Coppola and Thomas Mars, lead singer for rock band Phoenix, wed in a quiet civil ceremony in Italy Saturday night, People magazine reports.
The couple married in a beautiful villa owned by Coppola's father, famed director Francis Ford Coppola, in the tiny town of Bernalda.
She wore a lavendar dress designed by Azzedine Alaia.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
The couple have two children: Romy, 4 1/2, and Cosima, 15 months old.
Coppola is best know for "Lost in Translation" for which she wrote the screenplay and also directed.
It's a second marriage for Coppola, who was married to director Spike Jonze from 1999 to 2003.
The wedding, attended by 80 guests, was a stark contrast to last week's celebrity nuptials: the extravagant wedding of Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries.

Combined single limit (CSL) auto insurance policies have a single amount for liability payment limits for both property damage and bodily injury. This is in contrast to a split limit policy that has separate limits for bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident, and property damage per accident.
Claims history database created by ChoicePoint. Insurance companies can access your claims information when underwriting or rating a policy. Includes information such as date of loss, type of loss and amounts paid, and vehicle description.
The section of an insurance contract containing such information as the name, description, and location of insured property; the name and address of the policholders; the period for which the policy is in force; premiums payable; and the amount of coverage. Also know as a "dec page" or "dec sheet."
An insurance professional who represents different insurance companies, is not an employee of any one of those companes, and earns commissions from policies sold.
Record of moving violations and license status. Not every traffic incident actually appears on your MVR. Some states only record 75 percent of incidents on an average MVR.
Personal injury protection (PIP) is a coverage in which your own insurance company pays you for medical, hospital and funeral expenses resulting from a car accident, regardless of who's at fault. It can sometimes also cover your passengers and/or other types of expenses.
Time period during which an insurance policy is in force. Auto insurance policy periods begin and end at 12:01 am in the local time zone.
Split limit policies have three separate amounts for liability payment limits: one for bodily injury per person, one for bodily injury per accident, and one for property damage per accident, usually in that order. Often expressed in the form $100/$300/$100, with the amounts referring to thousands of dollars.

This Pokémon has electricity-storing pouches on its cheeks. These appear to become electrically charged during the night while Pikachu sleeps. It occasionally discharges electricity when it is dozy after waking up.
Whenever Pikachu comes across something new, it blasts it with a jolt of electricity. If you come across a blackened berry, it's evidence that this Pokémon mistook the intensity of its charge.
When it smashes its opponents with its bolt- shaped tail, it delivers a surge of electricity equivalent to a lightning strike.
Its Gigantamax power expanded, forming its supersized body and towering tail.

Recently I have had some very disturbing information come across my desk. It has to do with the so-called breeding program that Dr. Jacobs and others in the UFO community have researched. A brief thumbnail sketch for those of you who don't know what I'm talking about. We are told in the Guidebook to the Supernatural i.e. the Bible that it will be like the days of Noah when the son of man returns. This begs the question what differentiates those days from any other. In my opinion it is the presence of the fallen angels once again manifesting openly on the planet. The so-called alien/human hybrid is a modern-day equivalent of what happened thousands of years ago in antiquity. In other words the Nephilim are back. The picture that I displayed to the left may be the real thing, a hybrid, in as far as what some abductees report seeing. According to Dr. Jacobs the breeding program has reached its conclusion and unlike the picture above the results are such that these demonic hybrids can pass as human. Now back to what came across my desk. This person related that the sons of god i.e. the fallen angels are engaged in a breeding program as they:
1. Materialize in our dimension.
3. The succesful conception of the embryo is then harvested – usually at the end of the first trimester.
4. The embryo is then translated to the spirit realm (the second heaven)
5. Later they are seen by the victim and told that the hybrid is their child.
While this may sound like something out of a sci-fi novel we keep hearing the same story or slightly different versions of the story, for what is now decades. The phenomenon is real, burgeoning and not going away. The end results of this is a hybrid that can pass fully as a human, but may have powers over matter that humans do not have. If you have seen the mini-series, Taken, it explored this concept, as the little girl who was the end product of alien/human genetics was able to stop time and manipulate space.
Next week on Acceleration Radio we will discuss the human mutilation phenomena. Obviously this is an aspect of the phenomena that negates the good-aliens-from-the-Pleiades-star-system scenario! We will hear, from an ex homicide detective, that the mutilation of humans is ongoing, and that it is a grisly part of the UFO phenomena that is not talked about openly. So where is all this leading? It would appear that the Luciferians are ramping up for full disclosure at some point. Will we see these hybrids manifest openly at that time? Will the ships land and then these hybrids will be revealed. Are these hybrids integrating into out society at this time? As with much of the supernatural that is demonic, much of it is hidden away, cloaked behind a dark veil. The Luciferians have an agenda and it is not one that is beneficial to mankind. The return of the Nephilim may be closer than any of us think. Meanwhile there are those who won't even discuss the matter. The supernatural is manifesting as never before. Remember, when Noah was alive no one heeded his warning. I'm sure they all thought he was nuts. His neighbors must have laughed their heads off, as Noah was building the ark. Has anything changed today? Of course not. Most people smirk, roll their eyes and laugh if I mention the possibility of hybrids. And yet, this is what we keep hearing over and over again. If people would just do a modicum of reasearch they would discover that the phenomena is real! While in Cheyenne, there were two people who had not done any reasearch on the subject of the Nephilm. By the end of my talk I could see the light bulbs going off in their heads. They got it! In closing today's post. There has been a war raging in an other dimension for millenia. We are seeing that war spill over into our dimension. At some point in the near future it will manifest openly… when the Nephilim return!
"A great expose of the UFO phenomena!"
"I couldn't put it down."
"After reading The Alien Interviews I realized that the phenomena was real."

Office of the United States Attorney
For Information Contact Public Affairs
PHOENIX - A federal grand jury in Phoenix returned a 130-count indictment on Tuesday against Trenda Lynne Halton, 37, of Peoria, Ariz, and 64 co-defendants for various offenses related to a conspiracy to defraud the U.S. Government out of more than a half-million dollars in student loans. The charges include Conspiracy; Mail Fraud; Financial Aid Fraud; and False Statements in Connection With Financial Aid. Each of the 65 defendants and their respective charges are identified in the attached table.
Diane J. Humetewa, U.S. Attorney for the District of Arizona, stated, Federal funds for higher education are a limited resource. The theft of these funds for personal gain may deny truly deserving students the opportunity to obtain a valuable education. The hardworking investigators of the U.S. Postal Inspection Service and U.S. Department of Education, Office of Inspector General, along with the Rio Salado Community College Office of Financial Aid, were all instrumental in assuring that so many people would not get away with such an extensive scheme.
Mary Mitchelson, Acting Inspector General of U.S. Department of Education, stated, Todays indictment alleges that the defendants defrauded the students and taxpayers of Arizona in a deliberate, methodical, and significant way. I am proud of the work of the Office of Inspector Generals Special Agents, our colleagues in the U.S. Postal Inspection Service and the U.S. Attorneys Office for their dogged pursuit of these individuals.
Natalie Forbort, Special Agent in Charge of the U.S. Department of Education OIGs Western Regional Office, added that the OIG will continue to aggressively pursue those who seek to defraud Federal education programs and protect these vital funds from this type of calculated plunder -- not only for our nation's students, but for America's taxpayers as well.
The indictment alleges that from July 4, 2006 through October 30, 2007, Halton recruited individuals to act as straw students and apply for federal financial aid, in the form of Stafford Loans and Pell Grants, with her assistance at Rio Salado Community College. The applicants were neither active students at Rio Salado nor did they intend to become active students. Halton worked with Crystal Marie Diaz, Claude Willis Fletcher, Latissha Lavern Johnson and Evelynn Castaneda Tripp to recruit additional individuals to fraudulently apply for, and receive, student financial aid through Rio Salado. Diaz, Fletcher, Johnson and Tripp each recruited at least three additional straw students as well as acting as straw students themselves. A total of 60 additional straw students were also charged as a result of the scheme.
In furtherance of the conspiracy and scheme to defraud, Halton maintained a system of records, containing various handwritten and printed documents, concerning the personal information for approximately136 straw students and potential straw students including, but not limited to, dates of birth, social security numbers, drivers license numbers, wage tax statements - both fictitious and valid, tax returns, tax transcripts, high school diplomas - both fictitious and valid, and Rio Salado Financial Aid applications. While extensive, the records for multiple straw students and potential straw students were not complete. Halton completed and submitted Rio Salado admission and financial aid applications containing forged and false statements for at least 64 financial aid applicants.
Halton charged a fee to multiple straw students in amounts ranging from $500 to $1,500. Halton also accessed Rio Salado online classes, assuming the identity of the various straw students, in order to generate records of the straw students participation in online classes and cause Rio Salado to authorize financial aid payments to the straw students.
During the period of the conspiracy and scheme, Halton and her 64 co-defendants unlawfully caused federally insured loans and grants to be disbursed to unqualified straw students totaling approximately $538,932.
In an affidavit for a search warrant for Haltons residence, a Postal Inspector noted the fraud was initially reported to the U.S. Department of Education by Rio Salados Financial Aid Office. In particular, the Office advised that documentation submitted in support of certain loan applications appeared to have been doctored or forged because the applicants were all enrolled in the same online courses; the applicants all lived in the same general area; and the writing on the financial aid applications and supporting documents appeared similar.
It is a common misconception that the Internet provides anonymity to those who commit fraud, said Phoenix Division Acting Inspector in Charge Christopher White of the U.S. Postal Inspection Service. Often, they use the U.S. Mail to send correspondence or receive financial aid checks, in furtherance of the scheme. The Postal Inspection Service will aggressively investigate those who use the mail to commit such criminal acts.
Each conviction for Conspiracy or Financial Aid Fraud carries a maximum penalty of five years, a $250,000 fine or both. Each conviction for False Statements in Connection With Financial Aid carries a maximum penalty of one year, $100,000 fine or both. Each conviction for Mail Fraud carries a maximum penalty of 20 years, a $250,000 fine or both. In determining an actual sentence, U.S. District Court Judge Neil V. Wake will consult the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines, which provide appropriate sentencing ranges. The judge, however, is not bound by those guidelines in determining a sentence.
An indictment is simply the method by which a person is charged with criminal activity and raises no inference of guilt. An individual is presumed innocent until competent evidence is presented to a jury that establishes guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
The investigation preceding the indictment was conducted by the U.S. Postal Inspection Service and U.S. Department of Education, Office of Inspector General with assistance from the Surprise Police Department. The prosecution is being handled by Frederick A. Battista and Charles W. Galbraith, Assistant U.S. Attorneys, District of Arizona, Phoenix.

This Privacy Policy describes how and when we collect, use, and share information when you purchase an item from us, contact us, or otherwise use our services through Etsy.com or its related sites and services.
Information We Collect
To fulfill your order, you must provide us with certain information (which you authorized Etsy to provide to us), such as your name, email address, postal address, payment information, and the details of the product that you're ordering. You may also choose to provide us with additional personal information (for a custom sign order, for example), if you contact us directly.
Why We Need Your Information and How We Use It
We rely on a number of legal bases to collect, use, and share your information, including:
- as needed to provide our services, such as when we use your information to fulfil your order, to settle disputes, or to provide customer support;
- when you have provided your affirmative consent, which you may revoke at any time, such as by signing up for our mailing list;
- if necessary to comply with a legal obligation or court order or in connection with a legal claim, such as retaining information about your purchases if required by tax law; and
as necessary for the purpose of our legitimate interests, if those legitimate interests are not overridden by your rights or interests, such as 1) providing and improving our services. We use your information to provide the services you requested and in our legitimate interest to improve our services; and 2) Compliance with the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use. We use your information as necessary to comply with our obligations under the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use.
Information Sharing and Disclosure
Information about our customers is important to our business. We share your personal information for very limited reasons and in limited circumstances, as follows:
- Etsy. We share information with Etsy as necessary to provide you our services and comply with our obligations under both the Etsy Seller Policy and Etsy Terms of Use.
- Service providers. We engage certain trusted third parties to perform functions and provide services to our shop, such as delivery companies. We will share your personal information with these third parties, but only to the extent necessary to perform these services.
- Compliance with laws. We may collect, use, retain, and share your information if we have a good faith belief that it is reasonably necessary to: (a) respond to legal process or to government requests; (b) enforce our agreements, terms and policies; (c) prevent, investigate, and address fraud and other illegal activity, security, or technical issues; or (d) protect the rights, property, and safety of our customers, or others.
Data Retention
We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to provide you with our services and as described in our Privacy Policy. However, I may also be required to retain this information to comply with my legal and regulatory obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce my agreements.
Your Rights
If you reside in certain territories, including the EU, you have a number of rights in relation to your personal information. While some of these rights apply generally, certain rights apply only in certain limited cases. I describe these rights below:
Access. You may have the right to access and receive a copy of the personal information I hold about you by contacting me using the contact information below.
Change, restrict, delete. You may also have rights to change, restrict my use of, or delete your personal information. Absent exceptional circumstances (like where I am required to store data for legal reasons) I will generally delete your personal information upon request.
How to Contact Us
For purposes of EU data protection law, Rustic Pine Designs is the data controller of your personal information. If you have any questions or concerns, you may contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com. Alternately, you may mail us at:
Rustic Pine Designs, 8325 Mountain Ave SE, Snoqualmie, WA 98065 USA
We love custom orders! Just send us a convo with your idea and approximate size, and we'll be glad to work with you if we can.
All domestic orders over $35 ship free! When we do charge for shipping (below $35 or international orders), we don't view "shipping" as a way to make a profit, but simply try to cover our costs. Unfortunately, shipping solid wood can get expensive!
If you're sending a gift to someone, please be sure to edit the shipping address accordingly. We are also happy to include a gift note for you; just convo us with the message! We do not include packing lists or receipts with shipments, so the gift recipient will need some way of knowing who the gift is from!
All our signs feature carved lettering. We cut and paint the wood, then use a wood router mounted to a CNC machine to carve the words/lettering into the sign. This lettering is left the natural wood color and is not painted.
Because our signs are made from pine boards (not manufactured MDF), there will be knots and other imperfections that aren't considered "defects". We believe this adds to their rustic beauty and uniqueness, making each item a true work of art. Be assured that we hand-select each board and do everything in our power to ensure its structural integrity.

Testing for Heart Valve Problems
Exercise Stress Test
Why is an exercise test sometimes needed for assessing a valve problem?
Also called a stress test or treadmill test, exercise testing can provide valuable information in patients with valvular heart disease, especially in those whose symptoms may be difficult to assess.
It has a proven track record of safety, even among symptomatic patients with severe aortic stenosis.
Your healthcare provider may use an exercise test in combination with echocardiography, an angiogram and cardiac catheterization.
Exercise testing helps evaluate changes in blood pressure, changes in symptoms, and the heart's response to a more challenging workload. If you have a heart murmur, your healthcare provider will take note of any changes in the murmur that happen during exercise. Read more about exercise testing.
Chest X-ray
What is a chest X-ray?
A chest X-ray is a picture of the heart, lungs and bones of the chest. A chest X-ray can show the heart's overall shape but it can't show the inside structures of the heart.
Why is it done on someone with a valve condition?
A chest X-ray shows the location, size and shape of the heart, lungs and the blood vessels. This image can provide initial basic information to the healthcare provider, because valve problems can sometimes change the shape of the heart or cause calcium build-ups in the heart or on the valves. These deposits may be visible on X-rays. Read more about chest x-ray procedures.
CT Scan
What is a CT Scan?
The CT scan captures multiple X-ray images to create a cross-sectional image of the heart and lungs without having to puncture the skin to place catheters. Like the MRI, this test sometimes takes clearer pictures. Unlike MRI imaging, the CT scan uses about the same amount of X-ray as is needed for an angiogram.
Although an echocardiogram, like transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) and transthoracic echocardiography (TTE, also known as a routine echo) is now the standard tool for assessing valvular heart disease, there are times when its effectiveness is limited in some patients. A CT scan creates images of the valve anatomy and allows for evaluation of the severity of stenosis and regurgitation. A CT scan can also determine whether there are valvular lesions or nearby tumors affecting the function. Read more about CT scans.
Cardiac Catheterization
How does cardiac catheterization help diagnose valve disease?
Although cardiac catheterization is most often used to look at the blood flowing to the heart muscle, it also can provide important information concerning narrowed heart valves, leaky heart valves, or blood that is not flowing through the heart as it should.
View an illustration of cardiac catheterization.
For valve disease patients, a cardiac catheter can:
- Measure blood pressure within the heart and oxygen in the blood
- Evaluate heart muscle function for moving blood through each chamber
- Help to determine the best course of treatment
Cardiac catheterization is considered a "minimally invasive" procedure and is not necessary for every person who has a cardiac murmur or valve problem, but it can provide additional information when other tests may be inconclusive. Read more about cardiac catheterization.

Nearly three years after Canada's polygamy law was ruled to be constitutional, charges were laid Wednesday against four people from the Kootenay polygamous community of Bountiful.
Canada's most notorious polygamist, Winston Blackmore, was charged with one count of polygamy. Listed in the indictment against the former bishop are the names of 24 women who were in "a form of polygamy or practised a kind of conjugal union."
Among the women listed, 10 were under the age of 18. However, special prosecutor Peter Wilson did not approve any criminal charges for sexual exploitation.
"(Wilson) did so after determining that the standard for approving charges, set out in branch policy, was not met in relation to these offences," according to a news release Wednesday by the Criminal Justice branch of the Attorney General's Ministry.
James Marion Oler was charged with one count of polygamy and one of child sex trafficking, in June 2004, for allegedly taking a person under the age of 16 out of Canada to facilitate sexual interference or sexual touching.
Oler, Blackmore's brother-in-law, succeeded Blackmore as bishop of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints after Blackmore was excommunicated.
Blackmore's brother, Brandon Blackmore and Brandon's wife, Emily Ruth Gail Crossfield, are also charged with child sex trafficking, which is alleged to have taken place in February 2004.
The maximum penalty for both offences — polygamy and unlawful removal — is up to five years in prison.
All four are expected to make their first appearance on the charges on Oct. 9 in Creston provincial court.
The charges come more than two and a half years after special prosecutor Peter Wilson was appointed and more than a year after Wilson asked RCMP to gather more evidence.
His appointment came only after a lengthy constitutional reference case brought by the B.C. attorney general that concluded the polygamy section of the Criminal Code did not contravene the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
Audrey Vance, a longtime activist from Creston, was surprised that charges had finally been laid — more than 60 years after the Blackmore and Oler families arrived in the Creston Valley and began to practise polygamy as self-styled fundamentalist Mormons.
"I didn't think this would happen in my lifetime, to be honest," Vance said. "I really hadn't been too optimistic."
Another longtime activist, Jancis Andrews, was also pleased that some charges had been laid. But she questioned why there weren't more against Winston Blackmore, who has on a number of occasions admitted to having "married" girls as young as 15.
His most recent admission was in March during a deposition under oath for a civil case in Utah. Under questioning, Blackmore said that 10 of his 22 wives had been under the age of 18. But he insisted, "I never touched anybody before they were 16 … I never had any conjugal relationship. I mean I held a hand, but I would not touch anybody before they were [16]."
The Utah attorney general's office has confirmed that its investigation launched after Blackmore's deposition is continuing.
The charges of unlawful removal of a child against Oler, Brandon Blackmore and Crossfield are based on information that was used in the Texas trial of FLDS prophet Warren Jeffs, including his diaries and church marriage records.
Jeffs was convicted of two counts of child sexual assault involving a 12-year-old girl and a 15-year-old girl, while seven other FLDS men were convicted of other charges related to sex with under-aged girls.
Some of the evidence from that Texas trial was submitted to the constitutional reference case in B.C. That evidence listed 31 girls aged 12 to 17, who over a 10-year period were alleged to have been transported by their parents between Canada and the United States for religious marriages.
In the diaries, Jeffs detailed how some Bountiful men snuck their often unsuspecting daughters and sisters into the U.S. for arranged marriages and how many of the men returned with teenage American brides — with no consideration of either country's immigration laws.
According to documents filed by the B.C. attorney-general in the reference case, Oler allegedly delivered his two underage sisters to Jeffs in 2004.
And, in 2005, minutes after witnessing the marriage of his 15-year-old daughter in Nevada, the 41-year-old Oler collected a 15-year-old bride of his own and took her home to Bountiful.
The Attorney General's Ministry also filed documents confirming that a 13-year-old girl and two 12-year-olds from Bountiful became Jeffs's brides after their parents — including Brandon Blackmore and Crossfield — delivered them to him in 2004 and 2005.
This is the second time that Blackmore and Oler have been charged with one count each of polygamy. In 2009, both were arrested and charged. But those charges were dropped because a judge ruled that the special prosecutor in the case had been improperly hired.
Back in 1991, after a 13-month investigation, the RCMP recommended charges against Blackmore and Oler's father, Dalmon. But no charges were laid because the Attorney General's Ministry had legal opinion suggesting that the polygamy law was unconstitutional.

They continue to be my primary communications and PR go-to pro and you'll find them just as irreplaceable and valuable."

One in five people who recently got onto the property ladder now regrets not buying somewhere cheaper, according to research by a Government-backed body.
The Money Advice Service (MAS) found "concerning" evidence that many recent first-time buyers are feeling financially over-stretched after under-estimating all the costs that being a home owner brings.
It is warning those trying to move on or up the ladder as the housing market revival continues to gather pace to make sure they are not taking on too much financially.
The MAS found three-quarters (74%) of people who bought their first home in the last two years said they had to stretch themselves financially to afford it.
Some 19% of the recent first-time buyers surveyed said that with hindsight, they wish they had bought somewhere cheaper. Nearly two-fifths (38%) of those surveyed lie awake at night worrying about their finances.
More than half (55%) of recent first-time buyers also found the additional expenses associated with buying a home on top of their mortgage payments had been more than they had expected. Many said they had misjudged the impact of solicitors' charges and removal costs on their finances, while others had not given consideration to stamp duty.
The service has launched a new campaign to help those struggling on the first rung of the property ladder to get a grip on their budget.
It is urging aspiring first-time buyers to make sure they think not only about mortgage costs but all household expenses, including council tax, utility bills and home insurance, when deciding whether they can really afford to buy a home.
The MAS offers free, impartial advice on its website - www.moneyadviceservice.org.uk - which has tools to help people work out moving costs, plan their budget for living expenses, cut back on their spending and put money into savings.
Figures released by the Council of Mortgage Lenders (CML) this week showed that first-time buyer numbers reached their highest annual numbers since 2007 last year, with this sector making up around 44% of all mortgages advanced to home buyers in 2013.
Government support schemes like Help to Buy have helped to inject new life into the housing market by boosting the flow of mortgage deals available for people with deposits as low as 5% saved.
But there have also been suggestions that would-be buyers are feeling more under pressure to get on the property ladder amid strong house price increases in some areas.
The CML's latest figures indicate that first-time buyers have recently been stretching themselves further with their mortgage borrowing. First-time buyers typically borrowed 3.43 times their gross income in December last year, edging up slightly from a ratio of 3.38 in November.
The MAS is an independent body set up by Government and funded by a levy on the financial services industry.
Caroline Rookes, CEO of the service, said: "It's really concerning to hear so many recent first-time buyers have over-stretched themselves financially.
"I urge all home buyers - even those higher up the property ladder - to ensure they are not taking on too much if they've borrowed the maximum available.
"Being able to afford the mortgage doesn't mean you can necessarily afford the home - and all the associated costs."
The research surveyed 974 people from the UK who had bought their first home in the last two years.
New rules are set to come into force in April which will mean lenders have to carry out more checks to work out whether people can really afford the mortgage they want to take out.
The Mortgage Market Review rules mean that lenders will have to consider whether a borrower would still be comfortable making their mortgage payments following a rise in interest rates.
