Unavoidable Defect

I know I’m not the most social person on this Earth. I don’t know how to make conversations. I don’t know how to express myself apart from writing. Actually talking to people orally scares me. Yes, it frightens the living daylights out of me.

I stammer a lot more than I used to think a year ago. I don’t know if I do that under pressure, or I’m excited or god knows when. I just stammer, and it’s getting way, way out of control.

I’ve always been teased about it, especially in middle school, the part of my schooling I’d like to erase from my memory. More often than not, I laugh with them as well. Because I know that they don’t actually mean those stinging words. Teasing me about my stammering, I can handle. But when people started making fun of me for it, and meaning each and every word, it hurt.

It’s stupid, isn’t it? I don’t care what anybody says or thinks. I’m in my own bubble of books, music, and in the company of selected friends. Baaki sab jaye ghaans charne (Everything else can go to the deepest pit of hell.) Then why is this bothering me now? Nothing else about me bother me. I’m fat, I’m lazy, I’m an average student, I’m not good at any one particular thing. None of these things bothers me, but my stammering does. I don’t know why, it makes me feel like I’m such a…loser. It’s like, come on! Can’t you speak one sentence without stammering at least twice? It takes repeating attempts to speak a simple word as “Please”, at times.

It doesn’t happen when I’m talking to myself (Yeah, I do that), or when I’m speaking in front of a crowd (Have hosted school events to know that public doesn’t scare me) or when…no, I’m done. Those two are the only situations when I’m able to speak without irritating everyone, including myself. I stammer while talking to my friends, my family…everyone. It’s not like any one person scares me. It’s the idea of making a conversation, and then ending up making a fool out of myself that scares me. So, I avoid speaking at all, as much as I can. I read, I write and I avoid actually speaking. Because after being made fun of, I don’t think I want to relive those moments, ever.

Seriously, is every defect known to man somehow stuffed into me?

Any farmers out there? Let's talk compost. The real kind, not the offal in the White House. I want to grow some vegetables.

    By the way, please don't insult compost by connecting it to Trump.  Compost is very useful, after all.

    Oh I don't need it, Spunky. I have all kinds of good growing information on You Tube.

    Amazing stuff.  It is a lot easier to put into practice when I have people I can just exchange information on what they personally do.  The sites are great, but the actual talking to a farmer on here, enriches the knowledge.

    The more farmers the merrier.  I like the type, way better than politicians.

    And you are right.  Even compost cannot be toxic.  The once sacred place that Trump has trashed is not fit for human consumption in any form.

    I did composting for a while. My city rents out compost bins- they're just the big black trash bins with the bottoms cut off and holes in the side. I researched a ton of options and settled on that. I just got too lazy to keep taking stuff out to it. I really wanted to do the worm compost style, but I figured that would dry up in less than a day here and kill all the worms. I liked the enclosed kind that you spin too, but I want to say those cost in the $200+ range and I couldn't justify it. The trash bin thing worked well though. Low-tech, cheap, and effective.

    THIS is what I wanted.

    Where did you go?  I know they have co-op farms that will have employees plant a garden for you.  I cannot do that one.  I have no place to put a garden in this Association-governed area I reside in.

    But I have a porch and could easily do a trash bin or $200 with the worms.  I can water the worms. I want it as close to nature as I can muster.  My life depends on it.   I'm tying to cure a very serious disease naturally.

    There is no way I'm taking my gall bladder out.  There is no way I am enduring chemo.

    I can say bye-bye before I ever do that one.  Not for me. This post was edited by PRETTY GURU at December 1, 2018 1:35 PM MST

    The trash bin one wouldn't work for you because the bottom of the bin is open- it has to be on the ground. I also don't know if the worm one would be an option because the little critters will still bake in the box, even if it stays wet. I've heard of people burying theirs, but that's also not an option in your case. A spinning one would probably be best- I don't think yours would be expensive. I had a family of five at the time, so I wanted a mega one, but there are small-capacity ones for under $100. I just ran a Google search and even Wal-Mart sells them for $79.

    I have a yard, but the soil here is obviously not conducive to gardening. I basically worked my soil for about six months before planting. I went through it and loosened it all up, removed all the rocks, and integrated nutrient-rich dirt. I ended up doing a plot that's like 15 feet long and 4 feet wide, so I'd never have to step on it to work it or harvest it. I read a lot beforehand too. One cute thing I saw was to surround your garden with cinder blocks, then place strawberries and stuff inside the blocks. No bueno. Not in Arizona. Those plants baked. My end goal was to have a yard full of edible plants, so I also tried some of those hanging planters- Topsy Turvey. Also no beuno. Those plants became infested with gnats repeatedly and then eventually baked. But, the garden was amazing. So amazing. We had everything. I had cucumbers the size of my forearm growing. Tomatoes the size of baseballs. I also had little alcoves of blackberries and raspberries that did ok. I've got grape vines that grow well, but the birds get the grapes before I do every year.

    Most of what I did was reading- lots of forums, blogs, and books. I also attended a couple workshops my city put on. Those are still out there. I glanced and info on some in Mesa and Chandler came up. Not sure about your direction, but I feel like there would have to be some. Home Depot likes to do gardening workshops in the spring too.

    I would think, if you don't want to partake in a community garden, you could do a raised bed (if your community lets you) or do container gardening. Just put all your plants in pots and maybe start them early, so they don't get baked in the summer. You can even start them indoors and move them out. Those are some good directions to dry; Google "Container Gardening" and "Urban Gardening" and you'll probably find things that work for you. I think the planting season here starts in February to have everything miss the freeze and get harvested by summer (there's a second planting season in the fall), so if you're going to give containers a go, you might well want to start them off indoors in like December or January instead.

    You can work directly on the ground in piles, anything 1 meter cubed is large enough to generate the right temperature. Larger is fine: smaller is not.
    Or create a series of three bins side by side. One is for starting the new pile, one is for maturation, the third is the first or oldest from which you can draw the matured compost. Use recycled old hardwood. For less turning (work), try using home-made tubes of wire mesh - to allow air to penetrate.

    1) Layer thicknesses: 2" of green (fresh) to 8" of brown (dry) materials

    When the ratio of carbon to nitrogen in a compost pile approaches 30 to 1, the decomposition process rapidly accelerates as “thermophilic” bacteria move in and the pile heats up to over 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
    Start piles on bare earth. Use steel mesh for the prevention of access to rats. Use a few bits of rotting wood and old mushrooms, and a fluffy layer of browns on the bottom (at least 6 to 8 inches deep) to absorb moisture from the pile and keep things well-aerated, thus avoiding cesspool conditions.

    Do not include teabags - the mesh won't biodegrade. Avoid newspapers as the inks are toxic.

    2) Use your nose and fingers

    There is no need to get out your calculator to know whether you’re striking the right balance carbon-nitrogen balance.
    When the ratio is lower than ideal (too much nitrogen), the pile will be slimy and stinky; simply add carbon (dry material).
    When the pile is too dry and slow to decompose; simply add nitrogen (water-rich green materials).
    In general, carbon-rich materials should form the bulk of the pile. A good rule of thumb is that each time you add a batch of nitrogen-rich ingredients, add roughly 4 times that amount in carbon-rich ingredients (in volume, not weight).

    Always add nitrogen sources (manure, kitchen scraps) in thin layers, not little piles, so that all the material is in contact with carbon-rich browns.

    3) Aim maintain an ideal moisture balance of 45%

    Wet the blanket every day in hot, dry weather.
    In heavy wet weather, coverwith a tarp so it doesn't get too sodden.
    The perfect compost pile is moist.
    Or cover the pile in a heavy layer of dry mulch to hold moisture in and encourage excess rain to run off.

    4) Be Patient

    Under ideal weather conditions with lots of pile-turning, you can get completed compost in only six weeks. On a large scale it helps to use machinery for turning big piles. But I only have four one metre cubic piles, inner mesh tubes, and I don't turn. I have too much other work to be doing, so I take the lazy approach whenever possible.
    Once the pile turns into a dark crumbly soil-like substance, it takes another six months to a year for it to “mature” – worms, bugs, fungi and bacteria take over and further refine the compost into magic for plants.

    If you are like me and don't have any farm animals or manure, I use a product called 'Root Blast' available from various garden stores. It was developed by some Canadian agriculturist and kinda looks like small dog food pellets. It is the best stuff I've used so far. I won 6 blue ribbons at the fair.

2005 cavalier turns over wont start plugs were no good put new plugs in used dielectric grade on plugs still won't start could I have put to much dielectric grease on plug wires

Trying to start the vehicle is there spark ? Your vehicle has plugs under center of valve cover .Pull the coil pack out , get plug wire cable set and use a spark tester . Check for spark . If plugs were no good you probably fried the ICM - ignition control module . Do you know what and where ICM is ? How to Test the Ignition Coils GM 2 4L Quad 4 The amount of dielectric grease has nothing to do with it .

If you have no spark try the ignition module, it controls the spark and if you don't have any and the coil is new its the only other option short of wiring or ecu!!

Maybe the antitheft system. Read thru this link

pull a wire and ground it via useing a screw driver at the end of the spark plug boot to check for spark / if their is no spark / ignition control module / there is also a crank shaft position sensor / located on the back side of the motor under the coil packs / pain to get to / also the nuetral safty switch / to check the neutral safty switch diconnect the big harnest at the neutral safty switch put a fuse tester to the yellow wire / have someone turn the key / with the tester grounded the light should come on / now we know the ignition switch has power going through it. if there is a no power at the yellow wire / bad ignition switch / does the car have a relay located at the top of the radiator core support (up by the radiator looking down drivers side)if it does not gm will install one for free / if there is / look for the purple wire coming out of the relay and Follow it down to the starter / reconnect the neutral safty swtch / touch the small S (the smallest screw) terminal on the starter soilenoid / have someone turn the key forward check the light / this will detemine if the relay is good / CAREFULL NOT to touch the big starter wire with the little one it will jump the starter / I HAVE THE SAME CAR / Hope this helps

visually check crank sensor(common problem)
check for fuel pressure on fuel rail there is a shrader valve for that. pull a spark plug wire and confirm spark.
make sure air box isnt plugged.

if all that is good change the control module. good luck hunting

PicMod. Bulk image-modification tool

3rd November, 2018

Aaimi PicMod is a bulk image-modification tool that automatically resize images and adjusts their quality to acheive incredible file-size reductions. It works on Linux, using ImageMagick via Python.

I use a lot of images in the tutorials in the Cave, and a lot of work goes into preparing the images for display on the web.

Much of this involves reducing the file-size. Web page images must be small enough to load quickly in a browser. Modern cameras take massive images, generally at-least 3MB, and just one of those images would bog-down a browser, especially over a slow Internet connection. A page full of those images would make the page unusable.

The challenge is to reduce the file-size for the images as much as possible, while maintaining their quality enought to serve their purpose.

Below is an example of the program in action. I ran it on a folder of full-size images for an article on my new robot, Stirling.

The size comparison of images before and after using AAIMI PicMod. Picture: Anthony Hartup.

The program first resized the images down to 800 pixels wide, then reduced the quality of the each to 60%, then renamed the images, leaving the originals untouched.

If you look at the size column you can see the first image has been reduced from 2960 KB down to 22 KB. That's a 99% file-size reduction!

Below you can see the actual resized image, stirling1.jpg, at just 22 KB.

An image resized using AAIMI PicMod. Picture: Anthony Hartup.

You can see that despite reducing the file-size by 99%, the image is clear, and about the right size for my Stirling robot article.

For some websites you may need larger images, better-quality images that display full-screen in the browser. You can adjust all of the settings I used for my images. For example you could set the width to 1200 pixels and quality to 80% and still get substantial file-size reductions.

You can choose which operations the program performs.

Options include rename, resize, reduce_quality, convert to JPG, and strip EXIF data.

Download and set up AAIMI PicMod

Note that this program automatically modifies files. Back up your images before you use AAIMI PicMod.

You can download PicMod from The AAIMI Project. Extract the folder and move the file to a directory above your image folders.

All of the options are in the Settings section of the code starting on line 38 of

Chosing a folder AAIMI PicMod. Picture: Anthony Hartup.

The folder variable on line 38 is the relative path to the folder containing your images. Left blank it will modify images in the current folder.

Renaming images with AAIMI PicMod. Picture: Anthony Hartup.

The rename variable on line 42 denotes whether to rename the files during the operation. If not blank, images will be renamed to this rename value, with a number appended. For my robot article pics I chose stirling.

The keep_original variable on line 44 tells the program whether to keep or overwrite the existing images. This only applies if you have chosen to rename the images.

The resize variable on line 48 is the width in pixels to resize landscape images. Set this to 0 if you don't want the program to resize images. Portrait images will instead be resized so their height matches the resize value to keep the same overall dimensions as their landscape equivelents.

Chosing a size and quality level for images in AAIMI PicMod. Picture: Anthony Hartup.

On line 51 you can set the quality level for your images to between 1% and 99%. Set this to 0 if you don't want to reduce quality.

On line 54 you can choose to convert .PNG images to .JPG. This can drastically reduce file-size on some PNG images, particularly images with lots of detail. However, PNG images with less detail and plain backgrounds may actually increase in file-size when converted. Keep that in mind if you have both plain and detailed images in the folder.

Converting file-types and removing EXIF data with AAIMI PicMod. Picture: Anthony Hartup.

On line 57 you can choose to strip the EXIF data from the images. Digital cameras include lots of data within the images, including camera model, location and much more. You may not want these details publicly available in pictures on your website. Stripping this data also reduces the file-size further, usually by about 15 KB.

Thats all the setting you need to change. When you run the program it will perform all of your chosen operations in one sweep.

Run AAIMI PicMod

Open a terminal and navigate to the location of the file. Type:

It will take a few seconds to modify all images in your chosen folder. If you wish to modify other folders, just change the folder variable on line 16 and run the program again.

Seven weeks until the Fargo Marathon

All in all a very good week.

I found a wonderful new route Sunday. The middle miles (it’s an out-and-back route) are really beautiful. It’s a winding road, heavily wooded, and quiet. Unfortunately, I have few experiences in this area that inspire awe of nature or scenery. Perhaps I could venture out of Fargo…

Another part of me really enjoys running among/with/despite traffic. A friend of mine recently asked, “isn’t that cheating–stopping at lights…?” I hate stopping for lights, and regularly–and carefully–disobey pedestrian traffic signals. But something in me loves running the urban. Perhaps I desire people’s waves, interactions (not all positive) with motorists, the pace of it all. I’ve always liked the anonymity of being in  a crowd of strangers, maybe this is a parallel…

I’m still feeling good–no injuries, new shoes, new physical and mental challenges met thus far. I’m slipping into self-doubt once in a while, but that is what it is… Seven weeks until the Fargo Marathon! My long run is up to 20, so I feel comfortable and like I’ll be prepared on race day. Cautious optimism comes to mind…

Have a nice week, friends. Enjoy the long weekend if you get one.

  1. Keep up the good work, Steve. It’s a real turning point when people LOOK FORWARD TO exercising and feel deprived when they can’t.
    For so many, exercies is a chore that they struggle to get through each day.
    I know that running is so much for than that for you, but too bad more Americans can’t catch the fever.

Key personality traits for social success

What are some key personality traits you would recommend most people to try and develop for social success? Also, how did you personally obtain those skills? Thanks for your time!

Wow, that's a really important question!

I think maintaining a sense of humor and not taking things too seriously. Easier said than done. I have to take time to "center myself" and put things into perspective. Things can seem so important right now, but how important are they really? How important will they be a few days from now, weeks from now or years from now. The ability to step back and put things into perspective is really important.

And developing a habit of smiling.

Also, developing good listening skills and the ability to communicate how you're feeling in a calm, objective way. I personally learned listening and communication skills in my Psychology program. Those skills have been invaluable, and I wish everyone could have the benefit of that training. It's been so helpful in relationships and my career.

The skill of putting things into perspective is more of a mind-set. Reading up on mindfulness and meditation has helped me to work on cultivating more of an open and non-uptight attitude.

I'll keep thinking about this and will add more if anything comes up. Excellent question thanks!

REVIEW: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. 4×20 “Farewell, Cruel World!”

At last we’re starting to get some payoff.

As mentioned last week, the Framework arc was beginning to drag a bit, meaning this episode came just in the knick of time. This entire third arc seems to have been leading up to the occurrences in, “Farewell, Cruel World!” and I have to say, the wait was worth it. No show does the slow build/burn quite as well and as consistently as Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and this week’s episode made all of the exposition and teases of the past few weeks come to a head in an action-packed, jaw-dropping, gut-wrenching hour of television.

Spoilers ahead!

After a quick reunion with Trip, Daisy informs Jemma that she knows where the backdoor to the Framework is thanks to her previous chat with Radcliffe. Though, knowing the location won’t make it easy to get there, especially considering how few of the actual team are aware of the fact that they’re from a different world. Jemma also points out that getting Fitz to the exit point will be enormously difficult due to his current Hydra ranking. Daisy delivers the sharp blow that they can’t save Fits right now, they’ll have to get out the people they can and save him at a later time. Though she doesn’t seem too happy about it, Jemma begrudgingly agrees that they need to save as many of their friends as possible.

Of course, Jemma’s agreement only lasts until she discovers that Alistair Fitz is still very much a part of Fitz’s life in this world. Realizing that this is what Aida changed, Jemma promptly makes her way to the Fitz patriarch’s abode and demands that he call his son to bring him there. Naturally, a dude as innately awful as Alistair does no such thing and instead tells his son (and his Hydra bodyguards) that the fugitive is in his home before proceeding to attack Jemma. Alistair is literally squeezing the life out of Jemma but she manages to grab a nearby gun and shoot him before he kills her in this world and the real one.

Unfortunately, Fitz is still on the other end of the phone and hears the entire exchange. Upon finding his father dead in his home, Fitz commands his Hydra squad to gear up the Zephyr and head towards the backdoor coordinates provided by Radcliffe, ominously stating, “You’re going to lead me to Jemma Simmons where it is my intent to put a bullet in her skull.”

The team makes it to the warehouse holding the backdoor and are alarmed to find that the exit point seems to be a boiling vat of lava. Though, Mack seems to be the most upset because he’s the only one who still hasn’t been clued into the whole, “other reality,” thing. He is not pleased to hear about it either, mainly upset that the gang lied to him to get him away from his daughter, but finds himself believing the story when Daisy uses her powers to quake the lava and reveal what’s hidden underneath… the backdoor!!!

Coulson, ecstatic to discover that he’s not just some conspiracy kook, makes his way to the exit but is promptly shot by incoming Hydra agents. Fitz’s team has now arrived at the coordinates and bullets start flying as team S.H.I.E.L.D. goes up against those villains that just. won’t. die. While Mack and Daisy take care of the incoming baddies, May helps Coulson to the backdoor, which he needs to quickly go through or else his recent wounds will kill him in the Framework as well as the real world. He makes the jump, telling May to jump with him and… promptly wakes up in the Russian submarine that the gang is being housed in!

It’s Jemma’s turn next but, as she’s making her way to the exit, a gun is cocked behind her and Fitz waltzes in ready to kill her. Despite Jemma explaining to him again that this world isn’t real, that killing his father was an accident, and pleading for him to wake up, Fitz isn’t having it and promptly shoots her in the leg when she refuses to kneel before him. Jemma’s desperate pleading and declaration of love still doesn’t phase Fitz, who tells her that she means nothing to him, but as he presses the barrel of his gun to her head another shot rings out and we see that Radcliffe has taken out his Hydra guard. The mad scientist promptly disarms Fitz, dragging him out of the room and telling him that nothing was his fault before pushing him into the backdoor as Daisy quakes it open.

Jemma quickly follows, leaving Mack and Daisy as the only two left. Unfortunately, despite now knowing that this world isn’t real, Mack has no intention of leaving. Because in this world he has his daughter and, fake or not, she’s real to him. Daisy makes an emotional speech, begging for him to reconsider and come with her, but he ultimately refuses… meaning that when Daisy awakens in the real world, she’s forced to tell YoYo that she couldn’t save him.

That alone is a rough awakening, made even tougher by the fact that Jemma and Daisy come to right as the Zephyr is being bombed by the Russian and his cronies. As the jet is being attacked, Fitz, May, and Coulson are coming to the harsh realization of the things they did in the Framework (namely being responsible for Mace’s FW/RW death) and coming face-to-face with the now human Aida.

Yes, as it turns out, Project Looking Glass was a total success and Aida/Madame Hydra/Ophelia is now a living, breathing, organic being in the real world. And, unfortunately, she still has her sights set on Fitz. Stunned to see her, Fitz can’t do much other than gape as Aida pulls him into her arms and… teleports away before May can shoot her.

As far as excitement goes, “Farewell, Cruel World!” was a definite upgrade from the last two weeks of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. As expected, this week’s episode served as the culmination of all of the build-up from the Framework arc as a whole. In addition to the team making it to the backdoor, we also got clued into Aida’s long-term gameplan and how the actions taken within the virtual reality will impact the gang now that they’re out.

Truthfully, the biggest highlight this week was the acting itself. Much of the scenes ramped up the emotion from what we’ve seen in the past month or so, and provided ample opportunity for the show’s actors to delve into the material with performances that invoked the entire spectrum of emotions/reactions. There were scenes I cringed at, scenes I clapped at, and scenes that made me want to pour a glass of wine for the sole purpose of throwing it in someone’s face.

Most importantly, with only two episodes left, “Farewell, Cruel World!” is perfect set-up for what’s still to come.

Episode Grade: A-

Quotes of the Week:

  • “Y’all did not just go and use the Bible against me.” Mack to the gang after his Moses comment leads to Daisy literally parting the red sea.

Episode Highs:

  • The emotional scenes were at a peak this week. Any interaction between Iain de Caestecker and Elizabeth Henstridge will undoubtedly be crippling, as was the case this week. Similarly, the bond between Mack and Daisy was on full display this week as Chloe Bennet and Henry Simmons knocked it out of the park during their emotional goodbye at the backdoor.
  • The VFX shot of the Framework changing/glitching after Coulson and May leapt into the backdoor was awesome and a really cool look at how the team creates their shots.

Episode Lows:

  • If you’re going to do cutaways between the real world and the fake world, make sure they are equally substantive. YoYo and Co. are all fan-favorites at this point and should be given more to play with. Oftentimes it felt as though their scenes were included for the sole purpose of including them rather than integrating them into the story. The stakes just weren’t as high for them in comparison to those in the Framework which made the scenes feel as though they weren’t living up to their full potential.

Additional Thoughts:

  • WTF is this Ophelia/Fitz nonsense? Was his reaction to her simply astonishment that she exists, or some sort of lingering Framework affection for her? I know no one who will be happy if it’s the latter.

Your Men’s Health Specialist
At Apollo Health Clinic, we test men’s hormone levels using comprehensive state-of-the-art blood and urine hormone testing to assess and treat low testosterone levels in men, also known as hypogonadism or andropause.

As part of our Essentials Program, when medically necessary, we may prescribe low-dose bio-identical testosterone to restore true testosrone deficiencies with a comprehensive and holistic treatment plan superior to “low T” clinics. Instead of the this for-that-approach, quick fix, band-aid, allopathic medicine partial solution approach, we offer you the most comprehensive care including advanced diagnostic testing for your complete health. This offers you individualized long-term solutions. We will work with you to find and treat the cause of your low testosterone and only when necessary we will prescribe a safe low dose of bio-identical testosterone.

When you have diagnosed with low testosterone this means your your testicles simply are not producing enough testosterone anymore. This can be nerve wracking for some men to admit, and yet it can occur at almost any age in the adult male. There can be several causes.

The benefits of restoring testosterone levels are clear, and supported by modern medical research to be both cardioprotective and neuroprotective for long-term health. (You must be signed up for our Essentials Program to be eligible for any prescription medications including testosterone. We do NOT just see patients for only 1-2 visits).

By replacing deficient levels of testosterone, adult males can feel more alert, energetic, mentally cognizant, and sexually functional. Most men come simply feel tired, lack the sexual energy, cardiovascular stamina and strength they had years before their health took a turn for the worst. However, without careful guidance and professional treatment, these patients may face higher risks of cardiac problems if administered low dose testosterone without proper guidance by a highly skilled physician in this sub-specialty of endocrinology. This is why all male patients are screened for cardiovascular disease risk biomarkers (internal link to Cardiovascular Disease page here) with a blood test prior beginning Testosterone Therapy at Apollo Health Clinic. Your safety will always comes first.

Why Dr. Samuel Madeira for your Male Hormone Health?

Dr. Madeira has seen over 4,300 male patients for hormone imbalance and low testosterone and adrenal hormone problems. He treats not only the low testosterone, but screens his patients for low thyroid, adrenal, and life saving advanced cardiovascular testing for his patients, and gastrointestinal health conditions as well as micronutrient deficiencies and mitochondrial health biomarkers. His aim is to find and treat the cause of your low hormone levels and he pledges not to stop working for you until every stone has been left over turned. His colleagues consult with him regularly for his clinical hormone health expertise. And frankly, his is approach is safe, effective, and you will get results.

The Medicine: Compounded Testosterone

Typically at Apollo Health Clinic, Dr. Madeira prescribes compounded testosterone cypionate or propionate, which are compounded in a licensed compounding pharmacy and injected intramuscularly in the gluteus medius or thighs or applied as a topical cream or gel. All testosterone prescribed at Apollo Health Clinic is bio-identical, meaning similar to your endogenous molecule of testosterone, and from a FDA 503B Registered PCAB Accredited compounding pharmacy, making it a safe and effective treatment.

Testosterone itself is anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, increases brain and heart health as well as sexual health, musculoskeletal health, and energy levels.

Signs of Low Testosterone in Men

  • Depression / Anxiety
  • Compromised self-confidence
  • Trouble concentrating
  • Disturbed sleep
  • Lowered sex drive
  • Difficulty sustaining or achieving an erection (erectile dysfunction)
  • Use of viagra or levetra (past or present)
  • Decreased muscle or bone mass
  • Increased body fat
  • Fatigue – decreased energy and endurance
  • Flushing/hot flashes
  • Swollen, tender, or enlarged breasts (gynecomastia)
  • Lower work performance
  • Decreased exercise or sports performance
  • Joint Pains and Inflammation

Testosterone Quiz

Take this short quiz to find out if you have signs of low testosterone. (Please Insert yes or no boxes)

  1. Do you experience less enjoyment for your life than you did 6-12 months ago?
  2. Do you suffer from lower confidence?
  3. Is it hard to stay on task during the day?
  4. Do you wake up well rested? Do you have a hard time falling asleep or staying asleep?
  5. Do you have decreased interest in sex? Do you have sex less than 1 time per week?
  6. Is it difficult for you to sustain or achieve an erection?
  7. Have you taken Viagra or similar medications to achieve an erection recently?
  8. Are you suffering from Osteoporosis or osteopenia? Or frequent bone fractures?
  9. Are you struggling with weight loss and especially excess body fat or abdominal fat?
  10. Do you run out of energy before the day runs out? Can you function without caffeine during your busiest days?
  11. Do you ever have night sweats or hot flashes?
  12. Do you have tender or enlarged breasts?
  13. Are you unable to crush it at work?
  14. Are you too tired to exercise when you want to? Have you stopped going to the gym, or playing sports you used to enjoy?
  15. Do you fall asleep on your couch or bed after or before dinner?

Is Testosterone replacement therapy for you?

The answer is, it could be. Together we will decide with the most advanced diagnostic testing what treatments are indicated, safest, and going to be most effective for your health and longevity. Andropause can happen for men at almost any adult age for a multiple reasons. After seeing thousands of men with low testosterone Dr. Madeira can say for a fact that men who have gone through puberty after 1980 consistently had lower testosterone than many men who were older. This is most likely because of the toxins in our environment, air, food, and water supply. With comprehensive intake, laboratory testing, and evaluation we will see what’s medically necessary for your complete health and longevity.

If you suffer from Type 2 Diabetes with two or more of the following symptoms mentioned in the testosterone quiz then you most likely have low testosterone, and should schedule a discovery call with Dr. Madeira.

How come my primary care medical doctor can’t do this?

Most family medical doctors do not know about the safety of testosterone therapy, and many urologists have been mislead by poor research designs dating back to 1941, which erroneously declared that testosterone therapy caused prostate cancer, when actually it was high estrogen levels in the body and their carcinogenic metabolites interacting with the specific estrogen hormone receptors that aid in the multifactorial cause of prostate cancer in men (it’s much more complicated than this but the receptors and the correct ratio of testosterone to estradiol is crucial).

Also, when untrained physicians prescribe testosterone they are not taking any action to balance estrogen during testosterone therapy, which when elevated is harmful to the prostate, cardiovascular system, and causes erectile dysfunction and mood swings in men. This is dangerous and Dr. Madeira has unfortunately seen many patients from doctors who are not prescribing testosterone at the correct dosage or making sure to block the estrogen from rising to unsafe blood levels during TRT.

If you suffer from the following or have any the below diagnosis then you should not receive testosterone therapy:

  • Class III or IV Heart Failure
  • Have a PSA blood test greater than 3 ng/ml without further evaluation to rule out prostate diseases (biopsy from your urologist and a written letter from your urologist clearing you for testosterone therapy).
  • Kidney disease
  • Liver Disease
  • Untreated Sleep Apnea (please get a sleep study and use a C-PAP machine prior to TRT).
  • Severe lower urinary tract symptoms
  • A hematocrit greater than 50% or thick, viscous blood
  • Prostate or breast cancers
  • Younger than age 35
  • Your testosterone levels are higher than 450 ng/dL in your blood on a range of 250 – 1,200 ng/dL for total testosterone then this therapy is contraindicated for you as well.

What’s different about TRT at Apollo Health Clinic?

Since a small number of men experience side effects associated with testosterone supplementation, Dr. Madeira has created a specialized, unique, safe and effective method of delivering treatment to get the best results safely from TRT without side effects. He has developed this holistic and comprehensive treatment plan after seeing a sub-group of men in a large treatment cohort who were unresponsive to the one-size-fits all approach of TRT offered by many other low-T clinics.

Therefore, all risk factors, genetic variants for clotting disorders and beyond, gastrointestinal PCR testing, urine organic acids, liver health & metabolism, kidney function, cardiovascular health, and micronutrient deficiencies are all tested, analyzed, interpreted, and treated appropriately prior to TRT and during treatment for optimal health and safety. (Testing is extra charge so we will test what is medically necessary on a case-by-case basis. We treat you, the patient). The outcomes our patients experience are increased strength & endurance, sexual benefits – more drive, harder erections, more frequent erections, increased energy for work, play, and sex, and better mental focus and energy.

Melissa Chu of RUMI X

The eco-athleisure entrepreneur on reducing, reusing and recycling waste for the good of our planet.

While doing sun salutations, Melissa Chu was hit with an epiphany — not of her personal life and private thoughts — but of the clothes she was wearing at that very moment. Reflecting on the sustainability of her yoga kit then led to Melissa’s desire to “develop something that spoke to the devotion of [her] practice…while simultaneously ensuring that [her brand’s] products were environmentally impactful and contributing to the solution.” Turning waste into wear, the result was RUMI X.

Using a combination of plastic bottles and coffee grounds — where the former is shredded, melted and spun into polyester, and the latter is washed, dried and prepared to be mixed into the polyester to produce a yarn — the resulting materials are everything you could want from workout clothes.

Abiding by quality standards and a brand ethos called ‘Rumies Promise’, the colourful fabrics are just as breathable, sweat-wicking and stretchy as activewear made from virgin materials. And that’s not all. Next up is a plan to convert crab shells into a super-soft material called Crabyon. We didn’t think of it ourselves as a plausible resource, but it’s inspiring stuff.

Granted, some consumers still place brand names above brand practices. But Melissa believes that it’s just a matter of time before education and awareness of — as well as a thriving market for — sustainable fashion are par for the course. And we believe so, too.

“The world is ready for companies to make a difference while creating something beautiful.”

RUMI X was born from your desire to make yoga gear more sustainable. What’s the story behind this?

RUMI X was born from my passions of wellness, mindfulness and female empowerment. I wanted to develop something that made a positive contribution to our planet, and to create an awareness for mindful consumption.

What has the response been to RUMI X’s use of sustainable fabrics made from recycled plastic bottles and upcycled coffee grounds?

We have received positive responses from around the world. Some people love that our product is helping our environment, and some are very curious as to how the products are made from plastic bottles and coffee grounds! The world is ready for companies to make a difference while creating something beautiful.

You will soon be launching a collection made from discarded crab shells. How did you come to learn of its potential as a material, and how will it be different from any other material out there?

We learnt about this fabric by working closely with our suppliers. They have been introducing us to new technologies and fabrics which are innovating in the textile space. It’s different in that we haven’t seen anyone else in the space utilising this fabric, especially in sportswear.

In terms of durability, wearability, breathability and performance, what are the key differences between activewear that’s manufactured from recycled materials versus traditional materials?

It’s actually the same in durability, wearability, breathability and overall performance. For most traditional activewear, the fabric is polyester. Our fabric is made of 100 per cent recycled polyester so it has the same performance as virgin polyester — only it’s more environmentally friendly.

How is using water-based ink to dye RUMI X’s pieces
better for the environment?

It doesn’t leave the production facility with hazardous
waste in the process as compared to other dyes.

Besides RUMI X, what is another go-to activewear brand,
and what do you love about its pieces?

I only wear RUMI X! But I do love Spiritual Gangster for
their street and inspirational designs.

“Our fabric is made of 100 per cent recycled polyester so it has the same performance as virgin polyester — only it’s environmentally friendly.”

Tell us about your beauty regime.

I typically use a combination of essential oils and at home ingredients for my skincare regime of facial cleansers (coconut oil), toners (apple cider vinegar mixed with water) scrubs (probiotics pills and olive oil, or oatmeal and yogurt), masks (honey and avocado), and moisturisers (apricot seed oil, rose and geranium oil). I try to mix everything at home in small batches so I also save on packaging. None of those pesky harsh chemicals touch my skin!

For makeup, I like RMS Beauty because it’s a green beauty product line made of organic food grade ingredients.

How do you incorporate exercise into your everyday routine, and how has it helped your overall wellbeing?

I start my day off with meditation for at least 15 minutes. It’s exercise for the mind! I’ll alternate during the week with a morning yoga session before work or break up my day with a Pilates or kickboxing class during my lunch hour. Once a week, I’ll wind down with a nice yin/restorative yoga class in the evening. On the weekends, I always aim to get out in nature and do a hike with my dog or go to the beach and play fetch with him.

Fill in the blanks: My one wish for the activewear industry is _________________.

For it to be about feeling good, and about empowering women of all shapes and sizes!

What does conscious living mean to you?

Conscious living is living a life of conscious action, awareness and being present. Many of us are disconnected from our own lives, thinking about the past, worrying about the future and just being anxious or depressed. Conscious living is about preventing yourself from drifting, taking control of your life and your thoughts, and creating the life you want instead of settling for one that falls on us. Be the change you want to see!

Oxnard Union High School District | Oxnard, California

This project consists of two similar pools: one at Camarillo High School and one at Hueneme High School. The district encourages students to learn to swim and develop as competitive athletes – therefore the goal was to create facilities for teaching as well as competitive swimming, diving and water polo. These 34-meter x 25-yard pools also provide venues for NCAA water polo and other regional meets.

The Sunrise….

February 4, 2008

The US Presidential Election Process

The US election process looks very complicated to an outsider. In a layperson’s terms, a party primary election conducted in the states is the first process in selecting its nominee to fight for the post of President.

In US, there are two large political parties the Democrats and the Republicans. Before the actual election, these parties follow an extensive selection procedure for identifying their Presidential nominees. This selection procedure itself usually takes around 8 months.

Each person who wishes to be a candidate for his party tries to win delegates (representatives) from each of the 51 states. These delegates are picked by the states themselves. The timing and method of picking delegates varies from state to state.It can happen anytime within the 8 month process.

Again there are two methods of elections that a state can use. The caucus and the primary. A caucus is when people in an area come together at a public place and meets to talk about the election and select the delegates there itself. A primary is like a normal election, where people go to a polling station and vote for the person they want. There are no meetings, and the ballot is a secret. Most of the states follow this method.

The caucus and primary can again be classified as open, closed or modified.Closed – only registered members of a party may participate Open – any registered voter may participate Modified – Independents may declare party affiliation and participate .

After all the states pick their delegates, they hold the national convention. All the delegates get together in one place and vote for the person they want to be the candidate for their party. This person is called the nominee.

Now for the general election, each nominee for President runs together with a candidate for Vice-President on a “ticket.” Voters select one ticket to vote for; they can’t choose a presidential candidate from one ticket and a vice-presidential candidate from another ticket.

The national presidential election actually consists of a separate election in each of the 50 states and the District of Columbia; in these 51 elections, the voters are really voting for “electors” pledged to one of the tickets. These electors make up the “Electoral College.” (In most cases, the names of the electors aren’t written on the ballot; instead the ballot lets voters choose among “Electors for” each of the tickets, naming the presidential and vice-presidential candidates each slate of electors is pledged to.) Each state has the same number of electors as it has senators and representatives (there are two senators from each state, but the number of representatives depends on the state population in the most recent census). The District of Columbia, although it isn’t a state, also participates in presidential elections — it currently has three electors.

Super Tuesday: In the United States, Super Tuesday generally refers to the Tuesday in early February or March of a presidential election year when the greatest number of states hold primary elections to select delegates to national conventions at which each party’s presidential candidates are officially nominated. Since Super Tuesday primaries are held in a large number of states from geographically and socially diverse regions of the country, Super Tuesday typically represents a Presidential candidate’s first test of national electability. More delegates can be won on Super Tuesday than on any other single day of the primary calendar, and accordingly, candidates seeking the presidency traditionally must do well on this day to secure their party’s nomination. Convincing wins in Super Tuesday primaries have usually propelled candidates to their party’s nomination.

In 1992, after losing earlier primaries, Democrat Bill Clinton emerged as a candidate “back from the dead” when he convincingly won a number of Southern primaries on Super Tuesday. Clinton ultimately went on to win the Democratic nomination and the presidency. In 2008, Super Tuesday is February 5; 24 states held primaries or caucuses on this date, with 52 percent of all pledged Democratic Party delegates and 41 percent of the total Republican Party delegates at stake.

Posted 21 May 2018 - 05:15 PM

it was a mid-summers day. A massive hairy chimp sat on his bed. His tighty whities hugging every curve. The smell of body odor stagnated the room. Hollowness filled his heart.
“I fap, y so epty.”
He felt the covers flop over him as his massive body slammed into the bed. His eyes gazed upon his phone. With a flick of his finger the screen came into focus. The big titted anime babe on his wall paper no longer caused his jimmy’s to rustle. Nob now had a void in his life. The endless poundings he gave his meat no longer made him feel whole.
He thought to himself, mebe acu chat be good.
Much to his dismay, the chat was dead. He almost lost all hope when he noticed something.

Surlent is typing…..

Nob waited in silent anticipation.

”@LS Check this card list for me. I think it looks good.”

Nobs heart jumped with joy as activity had begun. He could have friends. He could fill this anime porn filled void.

”Hi suelnt lik animuu.”

Surlent replied “I like anime. Why nob?”

Interested in this persons love for anime he quickly jumped to the question, to try and find a new wifu.

”Hos yur waifu.”

Surlent laughed to himself as he was having a normal civilized conversation with nob for once. He felt some warmth in his anorexic body.

”My Waifu would be..Hmm Misty. Or any chick at least around the age of ten.”

Nob smiled. He knew Surlent couldn’t be serious. No one would admit that in public.

The conversation commenced for over an hour before nob worked up the courage. He tapped on Surlents name and sent him a private message.

”I enjy ur middle skool isults. I thik I lik yu. Umust be so smart.”

This message surprised Surlent. He instantly sat up in bed and pushed his Misty body pillow to the side and rolled her over, before telling her goodnight and kissing her on the back of the…..pillow.

”Why are you so obsessed with me Nob?.”

”bekus I lowly chimp. Yopu get eu fur tsngled.”

Nob quickly sent Surlent a photo of himself in his tighty whities. Surlent blushed, putting his skeletal hand over his mouth.
”Nob. I can’t do this. Misty is laying next to me in bed…That Chimp body though…All that Fur.”

”it kay Srulent. She’s jst a wifeu.”

”I have..I have to ask you one thing nob.”

”ye bayeb?”

”Would you mind If I suck my finger in your ass to try and strike oil?”

Nobs body filled with energy. He had never felt so excited.

”cme se meh.”

”I..I don’t know if I should..I..I love Misty…and Noodles is my Senpai”

”dount werry abut Noodles. He dnst lve yu. An misy a pillow.”

”….fine…I’ll..Just…Just this once…Just don’t tell LS.”

Nob and Surlent traded details. Surlent carefully snuck out of bed to not wake Misty. He carefully covered her up and gave her a peck on the….pillow and rushed out of the house. Once he arrived at nobs door. The door burst open and Nob takes the small anorexic man in his arms nearly breaking him in half. Flopping him over his shoulder and running toward the bed room….

[5:55pm] Noodles: NOB…FITE ME.
[5:56pm] LS: Nah. Adventure isn’t that good Surlent.
[5:58pm] Niji: He is a Nayu now.
[6:00pm]StriferZer0: I jst cme 30 secs ago
[6:01pm]Surlent: Me too <3

The end.

When it Rains it Flows... Tarpon Trails

5wt Chronicles, fly fishing, fly tying, tarpon -

When it Rains it Flows... Tarpon Trails

Over the last few weeks, we have had an insane amount of rain. Hurricane Season had yet arrived, and we already dealt with a tropical wave in the Gulf of Mexico bringing a bunch of rain, then Sub-Tropical Storm Alberto came right behind. While the rain has put a damper mood around town, and washed out everyone's Memorial Weekend celebrations, it has turned the freshwater tarpon bite on.

SubTropical Storm Alberto

So you might be wondering, what is a Tarpon Trail?

Jokingly, the past few weeks since we have had this rain, I've been using the term "Tarpon Trail" on my IG Story. I have been searching for areas less likely to be fished by many. I am looking around for areas that can hold tarpon, in the middle of nowhere. Most people have assumed that I am referring Tamiami Trail; but I am not. As long as there's water flow, there will be tarpon. I try to locate areas that are either in undeveloped areas, or in industrial parks. As long as the waterway connects to one of the main canals that dump into the everglades, there's a chance that there will be tarpon. I am sure there are more than tarpon, but the tarpon are easier to locate, as they are rolling and easy to spot. If there are tarpon in the spot, they will show themselves.

Spillway Roller

At first, it was difficult to get them to eat anything. It was frustrating to say the least. I can see the fish, and see them eating, yet they wouldn't take my offerings. The key is to figure out what they are chewing on, and tie something to match. I got it figured out and it's been a fun week.

Tarpon Minnow

I've managed to land one each day, four days in a row, all in different parts of town. I have jumped several others as well. These fish have been super fun. nice fish in the 10-15lb range on a 5wt are always a blast. Here are a few cellphone pics:

And fittingly, we had just wrapped up shooting my interview for the new 5wt Chronicles episode about the fishing post-irma, and I decided to hit a spot on the way home. I told myself I wouldn't be going empty handed!This guy was an explosive bite, and several runs through the lillypads. And just at the end, as it appeared that he finally gave up, one quick burst and exploded my 5wt!

I have gotten my Tarpon fix for the time being, and focusing my efforts in something else. Here's to more silver coming soon!

Miami Bonefish

Until next time!

What is Arthritis?

Joint inflammation

Arthritis is inflammation of one or more joints. A joint is the area where two bones meet. There are over 100 different types of arthritis.

Causes, incidence, and risk factors

Arthritis involves the breakdown of cartilage. Cartilage normally protects a joint, allowing it to move smoothly. Cartilage also absorbs shock when pressure is placed on the joint, such as when you walk. Without the normal amount of cartilage, the bones rub together, causing pain, swelling (inflammation), and stiffness.

Joint inflammation may result from:

  • An autoimmune disease (the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissue)
  • Broken bone
  • General “e;wear and tear”e; on joints
  • Infection, usually by bacteria or virus

Usually the joint inflammation goes away after the cause goes away or is treated. Sometimes it does not. When this happens, you have chronic arthritis. Arthritis may occur in men or women. Osteoarthritis is the most common type.

Other, more common types of arthritis include:

  • Ankylosing spondylitis
  • Gonococcal arthritis
  • Gout
  • Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (in children)
  • Other bacterial infections (nongonococcal bacterial arthritis)
  • Psoriatic arthritis
  • Reactive arthritis (Reiter syndrome)
  • Rheumatoid arthritis (in adults)
  • Scleroderma
  • Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)

Arthritis image

Arthritis causes joint pain, swelling, stiffness, and limited movement. Symptoms can include:

  • Joint pain
  • Joint swelling
  • Reduced ability to move the joint
  • Redness of the skin around a joint
  • Stiffness, especially in the morning
  • Warmth around a joint

Signs and tests

The health care provider will perform a physical exam and ask questions about your medical history.

The physical exam may show:

  • Fluid around a joint
  • Warm, red, tender joints
  • Difficulty moving a joint (called “e;limited range of motion”e;)

Some types of arthritis may cause joint deformity. This may be a sign of severe, untreated rheumatoid arthritis.

Blood tests and joint x-rays are often done to check for infection and other causes of arthritis.

Your doctor may also remove a sample of joint fluid with a needle and send it to a lab to be checked.

The goal of treatment is to reduce pain, improve function, and prevent further joint damage. The underlying cause often cannot be cured.

In some cases, surgery may be done if other treatments have not worked. This may include:

  • Arthroplasty to rebuild the joint
  • Joint replacement, such as a total knee joint replacement

Expectations (prognosis)

A few arthritis-related disorders can be completely cured with proper treatment.

Most forms of arthritis however are long-term (chronic) conditions.

Complications of arthritis include:

  • Long-term (chronic) pain
  • Disability
  • Difficulty performing daily activities

Calling your health care provider

Call your doctor if:

  • Your joint pain persists beyond 3 days.
  • You have severe unexplained joint pain.
  • The affected joint is significantly swollen.
  • You have a hard time moving the joint.
  • Your skin around the joint is red or hot to the touch.
  • You have a fever or have lost weight unintentionally.

Early diagnosis and treatment can help prevent joint damage. If you have a family history of arthritis, tell your doctor, even if you do not have joint pain.

Avoiding excessive, repeated motions may help protect you against osteoarthritis.

Lifestyle Changes to Manage Arthritis

Lifestyle changes are the preferred treatment for osteoarthritis and other types of joint swelling. Exercise can help relieve stiffness, reduce pain and fatigue, and improve muscle and bone strength. Your health care team can help you design an exercise program that is best for you.

Exercise programs may include:

  • Low-impact aerobic activity (also called endurance exercise)
  • Range of motion exercises for flexibility
  • Strength training for muscle tone

Your health care provider may suggest physical therapy. This might include:

  • Heat or ice
  • Splints or orthotics to support joints and help improve their position; this is often needed for rheumatoid arthritis
  • Water therapy
  • Massage

Other things you can do include:

  • Get plenty of sleep. Sleeping 8 to 10 hours a night and taking naps during the day can help you recover from a flare-up more quickly and may even help prevent flare ups.
  • Avoid staying in one position for too long.
  • Avoid positions or movements that place extra stress on your sore joints.
  • Change your home to make activities easier. For example, install grab bars in the shower, the tub, and near the toilet.
  • Try stress-reducing activities, such as meditation, yoga, or tai chi.
  • Eat a healthy diet full of fruits and vegetables, which contain important vitamins and minerals, especially vitamin E.
  • Eat foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, such as cold water fish (salmon, mackerel, and herring), flaxseed, rapeseed (canola) oil, soybeans, soybean oil, pumpkin seeds, and walnuts.
  • Apply Arthricept cream over your painful joints. You should feel improvement after applying the cream.
  • Lose weight, if you are overweight. Weight loss can greatly improve joint pain in the legs and feet.

Medicines may be prescribed along with lifestyle changes. All medicines have some risks. You should be closely followed by a doctor when taking arthritis medicines.

Over-the-counter medicines:

  • Acetaminophen (Tylenol) is usually tried first. Take up to 4 grams a day (two arthritis-strength Tylenol every 8 hours). Do not take more than the recommended dose or take the drug along with a lot of alcohol. Doing so may damage your your liver.
  • Aspirin, ibuprofen, or naproxen are nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) that can relieve arthritis pain. However, they can carry risks when used for a long time. Possible side effects include heart attack, stroke, stomach ulcers, bleeding from the digestive tract, and kidney damage.

Prescription medicines:

  • Biologics are used for the treatment of autoimmune arthritis. They include etanercept (Enbrel), infliximab (Remicade), adalimumab (Humira), abatacept (Orencia), rituximab (Rituxan), golimumab (Simponi), certolizumab (Cimzia), and tocilizumab (Actemra). These drugs can improve the quality of life for many patients, but can have serious side effects.
  • Corticosteroids (“steroids”) help reduce inflammation. They may be injected into painful joints or given by mouth.
  • Disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) are used to treat autoimmune arthritis. They include methotrexate, gold salts, penicillamine, sulfasalazine, and hydroxychloroquine.
  • Immunosuppressants such as azathioprine or cyclophosphamide are used to treat patients with rheumatoid arthritis when other medications have not worked.

It is very important to take your medicines as directed by your doctor. Many of the drugs above have side effects and some of the side effects are severe. If you are having problems because of side effects, you should talk to your doctor. Also make sure your doctor knows about all the medicines you are taking, including vitamins and supplements bought without a prescription.

Using Arthricept for Comfort and Care of Arthritis

The Arthricept T topical cream and Arthricept oral supplement is an effective side effect free combination therapy to help reduce and manage the pain and inflammation of arthritis.

A combination regimen using the Arthricept oral supplement and Arthricept T topical cream was evaluated in 33 compromised volunteers with chronic joint pain. Within first month of treatment greater than 80% of participants benefitted and noticed a significant reduction in their joint pain. At the end of the three month trial period twenty five participants were completely pain free and were able to complete many strenuous tasks that they could not do prior to beginning of the program.

2 reviews for Spectra S2 Hospital Strength Double Electric Breast Pump

  1. Caitlin

    I love this pump! It is stronger than my last breast pump, and it is important to me that I have a closed system. I exclusively pumped for my first baby and used the Spectra S2. It was really quiet when I had to pump in the middle of the night. The extra accessories were not available at Target, which was a little frustrating, but I was able to order extra flanges etc. through Ashland Health. My insurance covered some of the extra accessories, which was awesome. I would definitely recommend this to a friend who needed to pump exclusively or multiple times a day because of work.

  2. Rated 4 out of 5

    Love this pump… very quiet and does the job. only wish I got the upgraded version that I could travel with. Wish I could buy accessories like bottles. and etc..

It’s Friday, and I’m meeting up with the community of Five Minute Friday at Lisa-Jo Baker’s Tales from a Gypsy Mama for some free writing. Here are the rules: follow the prompt, no extreme editing, write for five minutes flat and encourage the person who linked up just before you. Consider writing with us?

Today’s word is LOOK.

I sit in the company of some wise people last night, writers, and we talk about vulnerability. Vulnerability that pulls back curtains.

Vulnerability that is purposeful, as it holds up the beauty and pain of a life, words in cupped hands and says look and know you are not alone.

We are surrounded by huge windows, and I think about all the glass portals of words and gesture and story and tears that allow us to look and see.

Into our hearts, her heart, his.

Into another’s experience.

The windows, these glimpses, into understanding.

To look can be to search for what is lost. The shepherd leaves the 99 others behind to look everywhere for his one little lost sheep. The woman with the lost coin looks high and low, under every piece of furniture, in every nook and cranny for her treasure.

Then she rejoices. It is found! And her neighbors, they rejoice, too.

To look and really see is to sacrifice.

To sacrifice judgments.

To sacrifice time and attention.

To sacrifice my way.

To sacrifice the broken that things are for the Beauty of what can be.

To look is to take pause, gaze long out the glass and see what lies beyond me.

Five Minute Friday

THE FIRST YEAR OF LIFE: Baby Photography @ A Smile Like Yours Photography

web baby

Kayla is four months old in this picture. Babies at this age love to express themselves through smiles, laughs, gurgles, and coos. That is my focus as a photographer. I love to capture all the budding expressions and personality.

It can be a bit tricky to pose babies this age, but by now, your baby’s head should no longer be wobbly. Four-month-olds have pretty good head control while sitting supported, and they can hold their head and chest upright while lying on their stomach during tummy time. This is why we recommend a session at four months instead of three months. What a difference a month makes! They also can kick and push with their feet. Some babies have even figured out how to roll from tummy to back at this point.

(Click here to read more about your baby at four months)

We recommend a photo shoot at four months of age because it’s a milestone for development. Come see us again when your baby is six months. You will know why each stage is so precious and you will be grateful that you chose to capture it all.

Asymptote Club
Website is a work in progress.

Asymptote Club is a non-profit free (libre) software enthusiast club dedicated to hosting free (as in freedom) services. All of our services are hosted on VPSes that are fully managed by the Asymptote Club admin team. Asymptote Club is currently on what we consider Stage 1, with infrastructure hosted on VPSes and running Ubuntu for ease of setup. Stage 2 will come with a switch to a dedicated server as a VM host, for more control, and Debian GNU/Linux to fully embrace free software.

The servers are run by a group of members. If you would like to help out with administration (doing regular maintenance tasks, adding new services. etc.), reach out to zebmccorkle!

The source for this page can be found at asymptote/homepage on the Git service. It is licensed under the AGPL version 3.0 or any later version.

Asymptote Club is run by volunteers and completely funded by members' donations. If you would like to donate money, servers, or even your time, please contact an admin. Any contributions are greatly appreciated.

As a matter of fact, our current server infrastructure is temporary until we can afford a dedicated server to put everything on. Currently, I (zebmccorkle) am eyeballing So you Start's E3-SSD-1-32, which is $47.99 per month and includes a decent 4-core CPU, 32GB of RAM, and an IPv4 /28 for $48 one time. That would last us for a while. Of course, if anybody else has anything else in mind, please do let me know at

Current infrastructure only costs about $15/month, which I (zebmccorkle) can mostly handle fine, though as a high school student with non-regular contract work I would appreciate if someone else would contribute a little to make sure Asymptote stays online.

Any extra monetary donations recieved but not spent each quarter will be donated to projects used by Asymptote Club. This project will be voted for on the mailing list.

Recent Donors

If you donate by PayPal, make sure to say your Asymptote Club username, name/nickname/psuedonym, and a message in the PayPal "additional info" section. If you donate any other way, send zebmccorkle an email with that information so it can be put here. This list is updated manually, so it might be a day or two before your donation shows up here.
