|Multicolor sage
End of summer is a great time to tidy garden beds and harvest herbs. Herbs have a tendency to take a walk on the wild side. As the days get shorter, growth slows and before long the sun cannot support all the greenery from summer.
This is the perfect time to harvest your herbs. You can cut them back so they remain lush, improving the tidiness of your garden, and providing herbs for the winter ahead.
When you harvest your herbs, you will have enough for at least 5 families! They make wonderful gifts.
For soft herbs like chives and garlic chives, I cut around the outside. You can either then dry or freeze your cuttings.
For rosemary, I trim back as I would a tree, cutting off he lower limbs. I have not been successful in finding a rosemary that survives outside in my Zone 6 region. Before winter, I will harvest all the limbs so I don't waste any of that great flavor. Rosemary is perfect with lamb, on potatoes, or on cheese bread.
For sage, savory, and thyme, I simply trim them into a pleasing, healthy shape. For basil, oregano and marjoram, I remove about half of the top growth. Basil also will not survive even a frost. So when they call for frost, I harvest all that is left on the plant.
I dry my herbs to preserve them. I put loosely in a paper bag in a dry, warm area out of the sun and let dry naturally. Loose is the key here so they get good air circulation and do not mold. They should be completely dry in about 3-4 weeks. I like putting them in clothes closets to dry as they release such great fragrance.
Once dried, remove the leaves from woody herbs and store in an airtight container out of direct sunlight. If a soft herb like chives, you can just crumble into the airtight container. I use wide mouth canning jars for herb storage.
If the winter is not a bad one, most perennial herbs like chives, oregano, sage, savory, and thyme can be harvested year round straight from the garden.

Versatile, refined, multifunctional and stylish might just be the codewords for the perfect handbag and the 2012 K. Kiechel spring 2012 handbag collection is filled with fabulous alternatives that will match these expectations and more. Check out the latest designs by the label.
In our search for the most eye-catching trends of the moment, we
often forget to appreciate the amazing versatility and classy
allure that accessories with a high focus on refinement, simplicity
and functionality can provide with extreme ease. Reviving the well
know principle according to which a classy handbag with
minimalistic details can be the most versatile choice of all, the
latest K. Kiechel spring 2012 handbag collection features several
lust-worthy styles to consider. Katie Kiechel, who has had the
privilege of working with big brands from the industry such as Reed
Krakoff and Kate Spade definitely brings a new spin on investment
type of accessories.
Neutral tones are the most suitable choices as far as functionality is concerned, so the choice of tones like ivory, light and dark brown tones, black or metallic touches is far from being unusual or surprising. A subtle change in attitude can be sensed in terms of shape, however, as the designer does bring a few eclectic touches here, like pyramid shaped bags for a quick break from the conventional handbag styles and a new creative touch we all crave for and love.
Handbag styles are also fairly varied, giving women which are
highly oriented towards getting everything they need from a single
handbag multiple choices: fun cross body bags, alluring satchels,
roomy totes or gorgeous clutches being only a few of them. Metallic
accents like the iconic twisted ring which serves as a logo, give a
new vibe to seemingly minimalistic designs opening a whole new
range of possibilities for several style preferences.
Understated yet never boring, the designs have a trendy vibe due to the always refined exotic skin touches which add interest both texturally and chromatically speaking. Leather is the preferred fabric for the long lasting accessories and the subtle variations as far as texture is concerned adequately emphasize the wide array of variations one can enjoy without the slightest compromise on style or glamor. Let effortless versatility be your mantra with these glamorous handbags.

Policemen storm NHIS headquarters amid workers' protest
The police officers arrived at the agency's premises at 6am to checkmate the NHIS workers who have been protesting against the reinstatement of the Executive Secretary, Prof Usman Yusuf.
He had been suspended for allegedly misappropriating about N1.9 billion.
Speaking at the NHIS, Chairman of the Association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria (ASCSN), Razaq Omomeji, said police presence would not deter the workers from their peaceful protest and urged members not to be intimidated.
He insisted that Yusuf has a case to answer and should therefore, go and clear himself with the anti-graft agencies.
Omomeji alleged that some people have been mobilised to stage a counter protest in support of Yusuf's reinstatement
He told The Guardian that the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has carried out an independent investigation on Yusuf and called on the commission release its findings.
He said: "You can't be under investigation and still preside over a public office. Yusuf needs to clear himself.
"The ICPC has carried out an independent investigation on him and ought to have come out with their findings. I do not know why they are still keeping it."

Colorado is 8th fastest growing state for technology jobs
Colorado's technology jobs have grown by 1.8 percent so far in 2013, according to a report released this week by
staffing firm job board Dice.com. The state's growth ranks No. 8 in the nation.
On any given day, roughly 2,000 tech jobs in Colorado are listed on Dice.
New Jersey tops the list in terms of tech job growth, while New York has the most openings with more than 9,000 postings.
Colorado's growth comes as the state is receiving nationwide recognition as a startup and innovation hub. A report released this week by the Kauffman Foundation and research firm Engine found that five cities Colorado ranked among the top 20 in the nation in high-tech startup density. Boulder took the top spot, while Denver ranked No. 6.
The other Colorado cities on the list were Fort Collins-Loveland at 2, Colorado Springs at No. 9, and Grand Junction at No. 19. Those three, along with Boulder and seven other small metro areas, represent just 2 percent of high-tech startups nationally, "but their high densities illustrate the relative importance of high-tech startups to these local economies," the Kauffman study states.
A report released in June by Built In Denver found that 122 Colorado startups launched in 2012, or roughly one every three days.
Next month, Denver will celebrate the startup community with the second annual Denver Startup Week. The week-long event will feature panel discussions, mentoring sessions and other startup-focused gatherings, all free of charge for the state's budding or would-be entrepreneurs.

Thank you for helping me refocus!
I Got A Mansion!
A few days ago, I was instructing the liturgical dance ministry at the Raleigh Correctional Center for Women a piece to "Worth Fighting For" by Brian Courtney Wilson. As I shared a few weeks ago, this song has been ministering to me, in season and out of season! Each week before learning movement, we have a short Bible study. This particular instance, we discussed the significance of time; specifically how depending upon the situation, it can feel rather elongated or quick. As I sit in a season of reflection on our daughter being a senior in college, time is feeling short. I have memories of her preschool graduation, her first day of kindergarten, endless carpooling (especially as the single woman, when children with two parents in the household sat at the house…just a little shade), hours when she would sit at the kitchen table during homework and I was on my knees praying for it to be done. At any rate, I shared that it seems like yesterday and that time has moved so quickly. In response, one of the ladies said, "I feel like time is at a stand still and I will never get out of here." Amazing how two people are experiencing a distinctively different determination regarding time. Nevertheless, we serve the same God, and we would all benefit with the application of Psalm 90:12, "So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom."
When going "through" I for one don't think about the accumulation of wisdom as a welcomed consequence. However, the more mature I become, I am appreciative of moments that previously didn't make me blink. Each time I enter into the facility where I volunteer, I consider that its only a result of God's grace and mercy, not anything that I've done that averted me from that journey. To be even more reflective, there are women inside who are more liberated than women on the outside. They've come to resolution with their "stuff" and no longer wear the mask that many of us personify daily. No matter what they've done, or what I've done (or will do), I am joyous of our connection to the Master. His ability to bring us all into the knowledge of Him in his perfect timing. We do not know what tomorrow will bring. In fact, James 4:14 tells us, "Yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes." During our "mist" we must commit ourselves to being totally emptied, fulfilling every purpose the Lord has aligned for our life and the lives of those assigned to us.
During our dance, there is a lyric that says, "I've got a mansion, over in glory!" As we learned the portion of the dance, we erupted into a praise! Each of us began to point upward saying, "Can you see my mansion?" "It's that beautiful one right there!" "Look at mine! Isn't it gorgeous?" I shared that each time they are "invited" into an altercation with someone else, point to the sky and be reminded that whatever the moment in time, it cannot be compared to the time those who have accepted Christ will spend in eternity. That action is not only for those on the inside – but it's something each of us can partake in. The enemy knows the end of the story. We must act like we do as well! Nothing, or no one is worth snatching my opportunity to experience eternal life! Until that time, I hope to relish in the time God has granted; and not just in the big things, but the small miracles that happen around me daily. In everything we do, we must commit our work to the Lord and our plans will be established (Proverbs 16:3). After all, I've got a mansion…what about you?

Welcome to LAA WINGS
LAA WINGS offers you the chance to get more from your flying and, at the same time meets the requirements of the new CAA PROUD, Pilot Recognition for Operational Up-skilling and Development scheme, to improve the skill levels of private pilots. Developed in conjunction with the Light Aircraft Association Pilot Coaching Scheme, you can either use current experience or challenge yourself with developing new flying skills, to win BRONZE, SILVER Or GOLD LAA Wings.
Signing-up to the LAA WINGS scheme is free to any LAA member. The scheme is open to any other pilots too, although a £15 fee is payable to cover costs of administration. Check out the requirements for the LAA Wings BRONZE, SILVER, or GOLD awards and apply to the Light Aircraft Association for your LAA Wings right now!
"We know that pilots who continue to develop their flying skills are safer, and there are many 'add-ons' such as the IMC, night rating, aerobatics, and instructor ratings that develop not only greater proficiency, but also far greater levels of personal confidence.
"The LAA WINGS scheme also combats that loss of motivation and purpose some pilots feel after qualifying for their licence. Either working with your local flying school or our network of LAA Coaches, you can enjoy new challenges and gain new skills, putting the purpose and fun back into your flying on your way to winning a set of LAA WINGS."

Age of Conan 40 Level Review
From graphics and audio to PVP mechanics and gameplay Age of Conan is poised to be the first 3rd generation MMORPG that got it right. After 3rd gen meltdowns like Vanguard and mediocre releases like LOTRO the market is wide open and thats why the servers have been full and on que every night at peak time since retail release.
I have been playing since beta and the retail release since preorder head start. Here is my Age of Conan 40 level review:
Age of Conan: Hybordian Adventures is the best MMORPG title I have seen in a very long time and almost my entire guild agrees with me. We are not a bunch of 16 year old CS fraggers that endorse every game that flies off the shelf at launch, we are seasoned and at an average age of around 30 and we have been around and playing MMORPGs since the very first titles in the genre hit stores. This is my in-depth review after playing since the pre-order head start and taking my toon to level 40.
Graphics - Here is my graphics one liner. Vanguard meets WoW with a dash of old world detail and a side or incredibly realistic looking blood and guts. I think the overall look and feel of the game is a great balance. Age of Conan leaves little to be desired in appearance without crossing the boundary that makes a game too hard for lower end graphics cards to run. The world looks good but textures up close look borderline amazing. The animations are pretty top notch as well, from spells and to combos and jumping Age of Conan took MMORPG animation to a new level.
Audio - Great. The audio is of superb quality but most impressive is the creative quality and how well the audio fits into the overall theme of the game. The music is incredible, from Celtic chants to medieval war drum lines you feel like you have your own soundtrack throughout the entire game. In the forest there is relaxing fanciful tunes and in a dungeon the music makes you want to kill things just as it should. The grunts and battle cries as different classes complete different combos and skills are diverse and realistic, they really help immerse you in battles.
Storyline - Best ever. I am a notorious quest hater, I prefer the grind where I have more control over how fast I can level and can use our guild to full advantage. Questing for me in Age of Conan is aided by a deep and realistic storyline. MMORPG story lines are notoriously flowery and full of complete fluff, not AOC. Age of Conan delivers realistic story lines demanding the blood of prostitutes and heads on pig poles among other things. I actually read quite a few of the cut scene text windows, that is a HUGE deal for me. I read Hemingway and Thoreau not game cut scene text so the fact alone that I read most of these at all speaks volumes for the AOC storyline.
Dungeons and Instances - Superb. Best ever. I have never been a fan of instances because I believe in the idea of a persistent world. That being said I am not only a fan of the Age of Conan instancing I think it could be the model for the perfect balance of persistence and instancing. You can run your class specific quests in your own instance whenever you want to. We have all run class quests and had the mobs camped for hours on end or been ganked by some tards every time you get to the spot and had to bring in guildies to clear it up the 5 on 1 noobfest. Instanced dungeons are well done and abundant from level 13 or so on. Every zone also has several instances and as the population of the server is so high there are always people in every instance. There is never a shortage of people to kill and when a guild rolls out 6 guys to kill your duo you can just jump instances and continue on. Party leaders can summon party members to their instance and when party members look at the instance drop down there is a star by the instance that the party leader is in, very functional mechanics.
PVP - Possibly the best MMORPG PVP system created, with so many things not in game yet it is impossible to make an accurate assessment of the PVP system as a whole but I will say that my first impression is amazing. Classes seem relatively balanced with the exception of a Priest of Mitra spell that can be spammed with no recharge time (will be undoubtedly nerfed very soon). The Age of Conan PVP system requires much more skill than any other system to date, the days of button spamming are gone. In Age of Conan we see thing like combos in which things must be done in a certain order and with the right timing, we see the ability to doge incoming attacks based on the direction they are coming from, we see first person shooter features in archer classes, and many other mechanical featured designed to incorporate skill into game play.
Resource Gathering - You can start gathering resources at level 20 by getting the resource quests at any number of various locations throughout the game. These quests allow you to gather the lowest level resources but you must turn in your first 20 of each to complete the quest. The next quests in the gathering lines require rare items that you have a chance of getting while you gather. Resource nodes are pretty sparse comparatively speaking but who knows how that will play out in the end game. Each node only has a certain amount or resources that can be harvested from it before it recharges so you can see how that is an issue when the entire server is trying to craft and build guild cities.
Guild Villages and Cities - Once a guild leader has reached level 40 and has 24+ members excluding himself he can reserve a plot for the guild village/city. The guild leader can choose the region the plot is place in but the game actually picks the specific plot an instance for you. To start a city a guild needs an architect, the recipe for the keep which costs about 2.5 gold, and the resources for the keep. The keep must be the first building constructed. Guild cities are huge and I will do some more in-depth articles on them later.
Overall - Age of Conan may be the first 3rd generation MMORPG to get the model right. Many have come and many have failed. I have never had this much fun in the earliest stages of any MMORPG and if the PVP and siege mechanics turn out to be as good as everyone thinks they will be Age of Conan: Hybordian Adventures is poised to be one of the greatest games of all time.

Do you believe Majority of us are in cahoots with criminals and will cover up for them or we condone any form of criminal activity ? i mean common, the Reality is that we live in a world filled with people, some good some bad, as such you cannot come to St Lucia and be careless with your lives and day to day activities , go where ever you want and at any time without taking precaution and feel like the whole island let you down when something terrible happens like what happen to the victim, you his wife, his family and loved ones. We sympathize with you and believe me we the majority would never be happy or condone the actions of a few idiots the minority who look to commit crimes, but you are deliberately trying to tarnish the reputation of an island so dependent on tourism even going as far as to ask for tourist to boycott St Lucia ? What do you intend to gain and achieve by doing so ? Will this bring Roger Pratt Back to you ? Do you know that St Lucian people (civilians ) have come to the aid of tourist who have found themselves in situations where criminals tried to rob or take advantage of them? Crime Occurs any where in the world even in Britain, should i refresh your memory of past incidents? You truly need to stop what you are doing, Cuz this is rather unfair, St Lucia is not immune to violence just as no where in this world is. What happened to your husband , friend or Family member was really unfortunate but enough with this blatant name calling and character assassination of our Island and it's People. If you need to reassure your self of the crimes happening around you, in your country or the rest of the world, pick up the news papers at home , watch the television , go on to websites, search online and i guarantee that you will find there are far more worst places to visit than St Lucia . you need to take this post down, close this website cuz you're not helping your cause, get in contact with the British high commissioner, explain this situation and i'm sure he will do whats required to help bring this matter to a close along with the prime minister and the people of St Lucia. Look i just offered you some advice and assistance if we are such monsters and terrible people as you claim, why would you get this advice? Gangster's paradise would not be interested in helping you out, so why would i just now look to assist you.Unknownhttps://email@example.com

One of the latest player in Singapore's competitive cafe scene, 20F Speciality Coffeehouse.
Though new, it has made a name for itself for their unique combination of sweet and savoury, duck & waffle!
If you follow any cafe-loving Instagrammer, your feed would probably be filled with lots of their duck & waffle shots! This is exactly the reason that brought me here.
Since, I'm far away from London for the real deal, Duck & Waffle Restaurant, at least I have a Singapore version that is closer to me? :D
It was a quiet weekday night. May seem like the cafe is empty, but not quite so.
There is a tiny walkway that links to another part of the cafe within.
I think nowadays, do really be able to survive in this competitive cafe markert in Singapore, food and service we don't have to say, another essential seem to be how instagram-worthy your cafe is!
Really, I have to admit that I do choose cafes to visit or even some dishes to eat because they look pretty or they have nice background for photos.
ps: That's Mr Tan looking all stressed over our house renovation! I think it will be my turn soon to pull my hair when I start to plan our wedding too.
Instead of the normal signature 20F Iced Coffee, $6.50. We had the Christmas special version. Still the same Iced Coffee but with rum & raisin infusion and topped with mashmarrow.
Was afraid that it will be too sweet at first, but turned out fine for me! Coffee beans are from Liberty Coffee by the way, so the standard is there.
We also tried the Mixed Berried & Chai Seeds Iced Tea, $7. Just because I feel like being a little healthier.
Hahaha!! :P
They have quite a number of interesting beverages to try! Love trying new things! :D
Ok, a 'family' shot of the food we had.
The legendary Duck & Waffle, $22.
A duck confit served with buttermilk waffles, strawberry compote and mixed berries sorbet.
You be be thinking, sweet and savoury on the same plate? Eating hot & cold stuff together, you sure?
Yes, very sure!
Was pretty amazed by how good the duck confit was! So tender!
And buttermilk waffles can't go wrong, seriously.
Just imagine yourself eating your mains and desserts at the same time? Hahaha!
Yes yes! Is nice de. ^^
Grilled Turkey Roulade with Cranberry orange relish, served with either seasonal greens or linguine, $26.
This is of course another limited time only, Christmas special dish!
While I wish the linguine was cooked to Al dente, the turkey roulade was really good!
Truffle Fries, $12.
Had wanted to try their sticky, spicy wings, but I just can't resist ordering truffle fries whenever I see it on the menu! Haha!
Before I even look at the mains, I've already decided what dessert I want to try! Hahaha!
Very Matcha, $8.
The name says all.
A matcha cake with matcha mousse, served with matcha sauce and a vanilla ice cream with pistachio.
Matcha fans look hereeeee~
You won't want to give this a miss. The cake itself was so flufffyyy~
Overall, we had a great meal at 20F Coffeshouse. Love how they kept the menu away from the usual cafe food, instead they innovate and came up with very refreshing ideas! I think with consistency and good services, they should be able to hold against the many cafes in this area like Bravery, CCSH, Tiramisu Hero and more!
20 Foch Road, Singapore 209261
Opening Hours: Tuesday to Sunday 10:00 am to 10:00 pm
Brunch 10am to 5pm, Dinner 5pm to 9pm (last order)

In the poll, 63% of Israeli respondents and 53% of Palestinians said they back a two-state solution. The poll was released hours before U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry's return to the region. The sides have been squabbling over the Jordan Valley, a strategic part of the West Bank along the border with neighboring Jordan.

This course is very difficult not only due to the study material but also due to lack of energy. the professors are not very good at english speaking. and there are many errors related to the subject i found in the videos. i m opting out of this course. education should be fun and learning. this is no fun at all.

Very difficult to understand oral presentation; slides can't be printed as handouts--must print one to a page; and some diagrams only in Chinese. Dropped out at week three.

I am surprised and disappointed at the quality of this class. Most Coursera classes are high quality, easy to understand, and educational. This class does not serve the standards as the other Coursera classes. I can hardly understand the speaker, half of the slides are in English the other half in Chinese which is extremely distracting, the script the speaker talks isn't at a professional level. I only use this class to get an outline of neurobiology. Thankfully, there are other Coursera neurobiology classes which deliver high content and are very educational. This course is a joke in comparison to the other ones. Please remove this course from Coursera. It is very frustrating for most of the users who are trying to master this subject seriously.

The instructors for this course are sub par at best, not presenting the information in a clear manner. Even having a degree in Neuroscience didn't help me go through their densely packed lectures at ease, and only my previous knowledge allowed me to struggle through this course.

This is a basic Neurobiology badly presented. It`s a simple, slow reading from slices with strong accent.
Rapid multiple change between different views. Slides - a mess of English and Chinese.
Not recommended!

Los vídeos son claves para poder ir realizando el curso, las explicaciones a medida que avanza el curso son mas claras. El material es muy interesante y genera un desafió para aprender las nuevas formas y mecanismos de estudios y sus avances.
El gran problema: nunca pude bajar el material inicial, y tampoco responden para dar soluciones.

Karl's Two Cents: WWD Chats with Karl Lagerfeld
Uncle Karl does not stop! Soon after the presentation of his icy Chanel Fall 2010 Ready to Wear collection, he sat down to chat with WWD. What follows below is the interview republished from WWD:
What is your take on the fashion system today?
We are in the middle of change, like the movies changed. There will be a change from two-dimensions to three-dimensions, just as films went from silent to talking. This is a very interesting period. There is nothing you can do to prevent it. These are our times, and if you start to fight against them, you are lost. You are a loser or a has-been.
How do you deal with the speed of fashion today, the endless seasons, etc.?
We live in a speedy world. We are here to make the products light and modern. If speed is too much for you, don't complain. That's our world. We are not in the old days with two couture collections a year. At Chanel, we have six ready-to-wear collections, in fact: fall, pre-fall, métiers d'art, spring, pre-spring and cruise, and so the merchandise in the stores changes every two months. We reduce the time as much as we can. Creativity is not an issue. If you are not capable of doing it, you do another job. Doing fashion today is like being a racecar driver. That's how I see it. So if the world of today doesn't fit with your creativity, do your thing in an intimate, small way, but don't play the victim. We have to fit in to our times.
That said, you're not a fan of online retail.
I don't believe in selling luxury online because shopping is pleasant. E-commerce deprives people of the pleasure of shopping in beautiful shops. And you know, fashion is not only what the clothes are made of — it's the feeling of luxury where you shop, how you shop, the way parcels are beautifully wrapped. (Online) there are too many fakes, too many copies. Originals still have to be seen and touched. Because expensive clothes are not only about the look. It's also about the touch.
You don't use Twitter or other social media.
But I have nothing against it. I buy computers because they are beautiful objects. Personally, I don't use them that much, but I don't use cell phones and Blackberries and all that. It's not because I want to be cut off from the world, but because I have different priorities. I like to do everything myself. I know pretty well about dressmaking — a technique that is difficult to get, as you know. My eyes are open, but they are not limited to a screen. For me, the world is a huge screen. That's how I see it.
If the show calendar were to be reworked, what would be the perfect timing?
They should do men and women together [in January and June]. The men, why they are so early? Men's clothes are much easier to produce than women's clothes. So why don't they do it all together? That would be wonderful. I think men and women should be in the same time together, 10 days or a week. Some people should make beautiful showroom presentations instead of doing poor-looking big shows. I'm very much against runway collections that nobody buys and who don't exist. Everything you see on the Chanel runway, you get in the showroom.

Ladies Love Olivier Sitruk's "Boy Capel" on Lifetime's Coco Chanel
** Read the M.I.S.S. exclusive interview with Olivier Sitruk here**
It seems that it wasn't just Barbora Bobulova who stole the show from Shirley MacLaine in Lifetime's Coco Chanelmade-for-TV movie. After I wrote my review, I have received LOTS of requests to find out more info on the mysterious and handsome actor who played Boy Capel, Chanel's love of her life. The man in question is Olivier Sitruk, a French actor with piercing brown eyes and Mediterranean complexion. It's your lucky day ladies, if you want to see more photos of the dashing actor check out his site here. Unfortunately it's in French but click on "galeries" to view photos. For a listing of his past works check out imdb here. I hope that helps and quenches the thirst you have for Olivier Sitruk! Hopefully the French man will play more U.S. roles.

Players who attend the major and place in the Top 25 will earn Circuit Points (CP) towards the INJUSTAH Leaderboard and their bid for an invitation to the $2,000 LAN Finals at eLeague.gg on 30 September.
"For 15 years OHN has been crowning Australia's champions in multiple fighting game titles, making OHN the best source of fighting game esports rankings in Australia." said Youssef Faddoul, Nationals tournament organiser for Ozhadou. "We are pleased to see Gamestah acknowledging the OHN15 Injustice 2 tournament when allocating points for their first Circuit."
"Gamestah recognises how important it is to partner with established organisations when entering a new community," said Chris McClement, Gamestah's Esports Director. "OHN's willingness to award CP at their Major in September is a clear indication that we're on the right footing with the FGC."

Microsoft Dynamics NAV can only access one logical database at a time, but this database can be divided into one or more companies. A company is a "subdatabase," and its primary use is to separate and group data in the same database. Fields and tables are identified by a number, but companies are identified by a name. A company bundles one or more data tables together into a logical superstructure that is identified by the company name. Other than the shared company name, the different tables in a company have nothing in common.
Opening a company is the first step that you perform after you open the database or connect to a server.
The following illustration shows a database that has four tables.
The four table descriptions on the left side apply to each of the data tables of three companies. The records in the tables, G/L Account, Customer, and Vendor have the same structure and the same field definitions, even though they belong in three different companies. Only the data stored in the fields differ. The information in a Table Description can be used by tables from more than one company, no redundant information will be stored. This minimizes the size of the database.
Even though you have selected a specific company, you can still access data in any table in any other company. Use the CHANGECOMPANY Function (Record) to explicitly define which other company that you want to access.

"What is Wisdom and why is it such a big deal?"
The music dribbles from the small black speakers that hide in the shadows of the exposed rafters of the coffee shop. One young gal is in the corner, chewing on her pencil as she bounces from scanning the Chemistry 101 book in front of her to squinting at the screen that illuminates her fair-skinned cheeks.
There are several like her here. Some studying out of duty. Others seem to possess a deep thirst for mastery. It forces me to ask, "Am I a learner?"
John Maxwell said that "All Leaders are Learners" and since I believe that everyone leads someone — even if it is only themselves — I hold firm that I must be on a constant hunt for wisdom.
Wisdom is greater than knowledge. Wisdom takes facts and breathes life into them by adding experience. Wisdom hides in the dry pages of books, film and local communal observation. Wisdom is more precious than gold and understanding more desirous than silver (Proverbs 16:16).
So take knowledge, put it into action and wisdom is quick to follow. Take advice, tips and learnings and apply them to life and understanding will soon appear. Be a lifelong learner. Learn, grow and give and wisdom is sure to take your life to the next level.

Currently only ALS can send electronic Sample Receipt Notifications in ESdat / LSPECS format.
Other labs are expected to come on board soon, although generally their priority is the eQuote and the eCOC (electronic Chain of Custody) with the eSRN of a lower priority for them. We find that direct requests from clients to their labs is the most productive way of having things re-prioritised.

Mount Benson Elementary School
Library & LiteracyMost recent Librarian & Literacy Coordinator: (2007/2008) Ms. Williams
Online Catalog: WebCat
Mount Benson Elementary School Library Books
Over Mount Benson elementary school's 58 years, parents and community members spent thousands of hours and dollars buying books and resources for their library. When it was closed Mount Benson Elementary School had an estimated 10,000 books.
During the last two months that Mount Benson School was open, librarians sorted through the 10,000 books in the Mount Benson library and put the books in boxes. After the school year was over the boxes were to be removed from the library and sent to Pleasant Valley School, Coal Tyee elementary school, or disposed of. It was estimated that 3,000 books were sent to Pleasant Valley, 6,000 to Coal Tyee elementary school and 1,000 discarded.
Upon reciept of the Mount Benson Elementary School library books the receiving school libraries were going to add the books to their collections. However because of the volume of books being transferred from Mount Benson elementary school, space became an issue in the recieving school libraries and it is not known how many of the Mount Benson Library books ended up in the other school libraries.
Nearest Library to Wellington/Mount Benson School
Families are encouraged to go to the Wellington Public Library behind Country Club mall which has a children's section. More books can be ordered from other Vancouver Island Regional Libraries through their online catalog system.

I remember the first time I went to a bible study group. I was a new Christian and was very nervous. I hardly knew any of the books of the Bible and had no idea which of them was in the Old Testament or New. But my friend pressed me to go and I wanted to make her happy. When I arrived, I immediately became nervous, fearing that someone might ask me a question and I wouldn't know the answer. Everyone welcomed me and although I didn't speak much during our time together, by the end of the evening I knew that I would return. I have been with that same group for almost five years now and the women are some of my closest friends. What if I had let fear prevent me from going that first night?
Sometimes doing something new or unfamiliar can be scary. We like to be comfortable, so the idea of switching things up or trying something different can lead to fear. We don't like to feel unprepared for fear of being judged.
But what if we never tried anything new?
What if we didn't take that first step towards a new goal?
How many times have you allowed your fears to get in the way of your dreams?
In Isaiah 41:10, we can find the comfort that only God can provide when we are full of fear.
Imagine a life where you fully trusted God and turned all your fears and worries to Him.
What would that look like?

Cheryl A. Stearns
Arizona Aviation Hall of Fame
Enshrined 2007
Cheryl A. Stearns was born July 14, 1955 in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Her family moved to Scottsdale, Arizona 2 years later. An interest in aviation led her to skydiving and her pilot's license in her teen years. Cheryl made her first parachute jump at the age of 17. In 1975, after graduating from Scottsdale Community College, she moved to North Carolina to continue her competition parachute training. Her skills grew quickly and in 1977 she won her first U.S. National Championship. That same year she joined the United States Army and became the first female member of the Army's "Golden Knights" parachute jump team.
In 1979 she became the first woman to participate in an international military parachuting competition. Not only did Cheryl compete, but she won the accuracy competition. She continues to participate in and win parachuting competitions, and has won 65 national and world women's competitions. Additionally, she has held the most parachute jumps in a 24-hour period by a woman; 352, or on average 1 every 4 minutes. In addition to her parachuting career, Cheryl is a pilot for U.S. Airways. She flies as a First Officer in the Boeing 757 and 767. Cheryl has received numerous awards and honors during her aviation career. These include: Skydiver of the Year for 1995, Citizen of the Year, 1995 from the Raeford, NC Kiwanis Club, and the highest award in aerosports, the Diplome Leonardo da Vinci in 1990. The U.S. Army has awarded her the Meritorious Service Medal 4 times, the Army Commendation Medal 6 times and the Army Achievement Medal 2 times.

I received free products in order to host the LeapFrog and CLIF Kid sponsored MommyParty. The opinions expressed here are my own.
We all know encouraging our children to participate in fitness and be active everyday is important. It is also important that they have fun doing it and a great way of doing that is to invite friends over who feel the same way to celebrate #FitMadeFun Day.
The Fit Made Fun Day was created to inspire kids everywhere to get up and be active and this past September 6th hundreds of children and their parents joined together in Santa Monica, California for multiple Guinness World Records. We were able to host our own mini Fit Made Fun Day at our home with some friends by playing some active games and enjoying some yummy snacks. Even though September 6th has passed, there is no reason why you cannot make any day a Fit Made Fun Day. Here's how:
Supplies Needed:
- An energetic group of kids and parents are always welcome!
- A Healthy Snack Like CLIFF Bars, yogurt and fruit
- Games that you can find on the LeapBand Party Planning Guide site
- LeapBand
- An open space to move around in
- Any extra equipment you think you may need
What To Do:
The kiddos were starving, so we started out with a fun snack of fruit/yogurt parfaits topped with CLIF Kid Zbars. Each bar is made with 5g of protein, 70% of organic ingredients and contains no high fructose corn syrup. The kiddos loved to mix and match the different flavors and loved making them on their own.
LeapFrog has put together a LeapBand Party Planning Guide that was super helpful when it came to planning our party. An easy way is to use the LeapBand to get the kiddos moving, but with so many children running around and making noise we could not hear it. So, I was able to print off the CLIF Kid 60 Minutes of Motion Cards off of the site. This jump started our fun and definitely got everyone super excited.. We would flip a card and do the movement listed on the card…like downward dog.
We also let them create their own obstacle course and let each kiddo run it while everyone else cheered them on.
It was a great way to practice being a good sport and cheering on everyone else. Everyone, of course, had to end with a victory fist pump!
The kiddos AND the parents had a lot of fun. My kiddos have not quite got over the obstacle course idea, so we have had a new course every week in our front room!
We will definitely be getting together with friends to "Get Fit" again!

Well as I wrote in a previous post call Last Diaper I was starting down the path of potty training my daughter. I thought now was a good time to give an update on how it is going.
On the day that I started her training she was a little grumpy to start, which I thought was because she was just not in the mood to go on the toilet. It turned out that she was getting one of her two year molars. I was however not going to put her back in diapers. For one thing I like the idea of once they are in underwear then they don't go back into diapers and second I had No more diapers, so she had to wear underwear.
By the end of that first day I had done two loads of laundry and Jaclyn had not once gone on the toilet.
This in fact went on for the first 10 days of her toilet training.
One thing I do in the initial stages of toilet training is I set up a toilet station in my living room. I find that I am able to get them comfortable on the toilet while watching a movie or reading books and then relax enough to go. That just wasn't the case for Jaclyn. She would sit on her toilet for an entire movie and then get up without doing anything.
I would remind her to tell me when she has to go pee and I would take her again. But NO, what she would do is come into the kitchen after sitting on the toilet for over an hour (I should say that it was her choice not to get up off her toilet for a break during the movie, I always offered) and tell me that she was peeing. Yes not that she had to go pee but that she was in the process of peeing. So I would clean up my daughter, my floor and get ready for another load of laundry. Did I mention that this was on going for the first 10 days, not once did she go on the toilet.
There were points where I was really frustrated with how stubborn she was being. When I would talk to my mom about how Jaclyn was acting my mom would just laugh and say "she sounds just like you". Then my husband would say things like she does have control over her body. When she is ready she will be ready.
While I am HAPPY to say that she woke up one day and when I said "OK Jaclyn, its time to go on the toilet" she didn't argue instead she went right away and has been every day for the last 13 days. She has been accident free throughout the days and most of the nights.
Yes, I understand that most parents who read this will just shake their heads at me and say 10 days in nothing. But for me when my son was so easy this drove me crazy.
Yay for no more diapers!!

Network Notebook: Handicapping the NCAA Championship
Submitted by Jim Hurley on Monday, April 2, 2018 at 12:00 PM
It's kind of popped up out of the blue. The Maize and Blue! But, Monday night's National Championship showdown between the Villanova Wildcats and Michigan Wolverines is starting to look like some of the "David vs. Goliath" battles of years past.
Villanova has become a juggernaut, launching and burying treys from all over the court. Some computer systems now have the Wildcats as the highest Power Rated college basketball team ever after five straight double-digit victories in the Dance. At the very least, this team seems capable of higher "peaks" than anyone else in history because of the impact three-point shooting can have in building high margins.
Michigan is currently a 7-point underdog, which is right in the same range as Villanova against Georgetown back in the Rollie Massimino vs. John Thompson days, or as NC State with Jim Valvano against Houston's Phi-Slamma-Jamma. The differences there are that Georgetown and Houston were seen as juggernauts all season because of star big-men, rather than "late bloomers" like Villanova who turned from excellent to historically great in March. But, you have to admit that Michigan looks a lot like those two famous underdogs.
Michigan is…
*Well coached, under a man considered by many to be the best "tournament style" coach in the nation. The Wolverines will have a game plan that will give them a chance to win. And, it will involve a lot more than hoping to get lucky with a slingshot.
*Talented offensively, with a variety of scoring weapons who can give opposing defenses headaches. Though inconsistency has been an issue of late, the Wolverines are capable of getting hot on three-pointers (as you saw vs. Texas A&M) that could match the long-range shooting of Massimino's group that took out Georgetown.
*Aggressive defensively, in a sport where defense wins championships! You absolutely have to disrupt Villanova's offense to have a chance to take them out. Texas Tech did that, but couldn't score enough on their own to hang around for 40 full minutes. Michigan's defense is as good as Texas Tech, and has a better offense.
It's weird to think of a #3 seed as a Cinderella. But, this point spread and money line have labelled the Wolverines as a longshot. Villanova seems unbeatable after crushing Alabama and Big 12 powers West Virginia, Texas Tech, and Kansas in succession. Handicappers must decide if Villanova is going to hit a wall and fall back to earth Monday night, or if the Wildcats will finish off one of the most impressive NCAA tournament runs in the sports history.
We can't tell you who JIM HURLEY is releasing in this much anticipated season finale. That wouldn't be fair to paying clients. We can tell you the key categories that he and his full team of experts have been focusing on since Saturday's semifinals ended.
*Michigan's three-point defense. The Wolverines have done a good job of guarding the arc all season. They must do a GREAT job vs. Villanova. Kansas was too complacent in this regard, sitting back and hoping Villanova would start missing. Villanova doesn't miss many open looks! The Wildcats were just 4 of 24 on treys vs. Texas Tech because the Red Raiders guarded the arc. Michigan must match that effort.
*Michigan's two-point defense. This is where it gets tricky. Michigan tends to allow easy baskets inside as a side-effect of guarding the arc. They don't want foul trouble. If opponents can work the ball inside, they will get layups or dunks. Can Michigan at least keep this factor in check enough to stay within the number?
*Villanova's mindset. Our on-site sources are helping with this. Villanova has played with a chip on its shoulder all through the tournament. Will the Wildcats relax NOW after a stunning 18 of 40 performance on three-pointers? Have they players already decided it's over? Houston's Phi Slamma Jamma didn't believe it could be beat. That's why it was beat! Patrick Ewing wasn't afraid of Villanova. If this Villanova team loses just one step because of overconfidence, the Michigan stars that took out Michigan State and Purdue in the Big 10 tournament could certainly cut down the nets after another big upset.
Our computer simulation programs are showing one of the most volatile scenarios ever in a championship game. If Villanova continues to make three-pointers at its tournament rate, then this is a 15-20 point victory for the favorite. But, if the Wildcats cool off, or come out flat, Michigan could definitely win the game outright. Not a game you'd want to use in teasers!
How should YOU play it? You can purchase our BEST BETS right here at the website with your credit card. If you have any questions, call us in the office at 1-888-777-4155 during normal business hours. Be sure to ask about packages that take you all the way through the NBA Playoffs. Don't forget that Major League Baseball is underway, giving us the opportunity to keep cashing tickets seven days a week all through the summer.
It's been a fantastic tournament here at JIM HURLEY'S NETWORK. Saturday didn't go the way we wanted it to. Monday night is very likely to based on all the information coming in from our SCOUTS, our SOURCES, our COMPUTER PROGRAMMERS, our TREND HISTORIANS, and our WISE GUY CONNECTIONS.
We say it before every big game. It's more true tonight than ever. When championships are on the line, YOU NEED WORLD CHAMPION HANDICAPPER JIM HURLEY!

Good idea, Gem - I had been thinking that it might be a good idea to 'pound' Fr. Ray, in the same way that we did for Fr. Tim Finigan. This strikes me as a good way of raising quite a lot of money, without anyone feeling obliged to 'dig deep', unless, of course, they want to. Also, in Fr. Finigan's case, it seemed to attract donations from overseas blog-readers, who might not otherwise contribute due to the difficulty of currency exchange.
Would anyone be able to set this up (I assume there is a way of organising a paypal button that automatically transfers £1)?

I don't think this a good idea at all.
Rubbing off 140 years of Hisory can only be construed as vandalism.Broken kneelers and rickety backs can be repaired but the historical scratches & initials of people long gone are irreplaceable.
The money would be far better spent on the floor & lighting.
As for the West Window could that not be taken care of by our very numerous Polish congregation who look upon St Mary Mags as their Church since so many of their Grandfathers were here in WW2

Nick, I think it is quite a good idea to get rid of the graffiti, "f***" reproduced several times with a yale key is not conducive to prayer.
Some might conceive the present state of the benches to constitute a sacrilege.

Things are changing around us faster than we can catch up. Marketing, which has always been integral to business success, now has the potential to be an even bigger game changer. With marketers engaging directly with prospects and customers in a growing number of places — through websites, advertising, social channels, tradeshows and more — marketing has taken on an evolving role in the enterprise, becoming less siloed and expected to contribute directly to the bottom line.
To do this, though, marketing teams need to restructure so they can better support broader business goals — or risk being left in the dust by their competition.
The Economist's research arm surveyed nearly 500 senior-level marketers worldwide about the changes we can expect over the next three to five years. Its study, "The rise of the marketer," identified three major areas to anticipate:
- Digital and data technologies will dominate.
- Marketing is shifting from a cost center to a revenue driver.
- Marketers are more often leading customer experiences and engagement.
So what does this mean for the future of marketing teams? The study's findings indicate that marketing can have an impact throughout the entire company. That's something we already knew. What's less clear is how marketing teams need to evolve, given these trends, and how companies can strategically integrate marketing to boost the bottom line, rather than bolting it on ad hoc.
In order to stay ahead of the changing landscape and lead their organizations to success, marketing teams need to adjust their practices. Here are three strategies to revamp marketers' roles — and, in turn, improve the bottom line of the businesses they support.
Integrate Digital Tools
Marketers need to update their strategic planning functions around digital activity and develop a strategy that unites all individual digital engagements – bringing all of the digital platforms together to create a unified customer experience across the board.
To create an effective digital strategy with today's influx of data, employ analysis tools to properly read and understand the data you are are collecting. This will ensure marketing efforts align with your overarching business drivers.
With nearly 2,000 marketing technology solutions available today, it can be overwhelming to determine which solutions to choose. Its best to start with a marketing automation platform as a backbone and slowly build out a stack of technologies that best align with your business priorities. You can then layer analysis tools on top of the tactical tools you're using for your marketing activities, to get a broader understanding of the kinds of data you have access to and lay out plans to put that data into revenue-driving actions.
Invest in Predictive Analytics
Because marketing teams now have the tools to gather data about the entire customer journey, it is easier to attribute ROI to marketing functions. One way to further cement marketing's new role as a revenue driver is to introduce predictive analytics into your capabilities. Predictive analytics for marketing improves the quality of leads sent to sales, boosting the productivity of sales reps and increasing conversion rates.
Marketers have ample opportunities to leverage technology and partner with data scientists to make smarter marketing decisions, and they can also easily track resulting success.
Prioritize Customer Advocacy
Seventy-five percent of respondents in The Economist study said that marketing will be fully responsible for customer experiences in the next five years, and 78 percent of respondents believe this engagement is related to sales outcomes. Customer engagement is a key driver of overall business health. Renewals directly contribute to the bottom line, and happy customer advocates can bring in new clients. All of the data that marketing teams collect is crucial in mapping customer interactions and driving the loyalty that comes with personalized engagement.
Bottom line: Marketers have a unique opportunity to have a major impact on the business outcomes of their organizations, by collaborating with sales, IT and other teams. Aligning your marketing teams with these three areas of change will evolve it from a group that has a mostly creative, cost-center role to a data-driven machine that delivers on business goals.

From Adult to Child in Less Than 24 Hours
Yesterday I decided to try and get pre-approved for a mortgage. I know right?! What an adult thing to do. Only....not really.
I did it for fun. I know damn well that NO ONE is going to approve me for a mortgage, never mind PRE-approve me. But I thought I would give it a shot. You know that whole 'hope for the best but prepare for the worst' fortune cookie mantra I got when I was 15? WELL! I got a NEW one and it promises that good things will happen to me this year!! And a fortune cookie is NEVER wrong.
So I went for it. There were two questions in particular that I had to answer truthfully. They went a little like this:
Down payment amount: 0
Savings: 0
Think I will get pre-approved with those amounts? Ha! Like I said, it was all in good fun. Little did I know that they actually assign a real person to CALL you after going over your application. If I had known that, I wouldn't have wasted anyone's time. I thought it would simply be an email telling me how big of a loser I am and to try again next time. Talk about bad karma.
I was telling Dave all about my 'serious' application for a mortgage when my phone rang. It was my assigned person from the bank! Shit! Because I was just telling Dave about it and laughing, it all became a bit ridiculous really. So when she asked me why I put zero dollars down for those entries, and I heard my ludicrous answer of "Because that's how much I have", I had to pull the phone away from my mouth so she wouldn't hear my laughter. And then I REALLY had to stifle my giggles when she told me in all seriousness that it's hard to get approved by the bank with nothing in the bank. SIGH. I went from being an adult to a child in less than 24 hours. No one will ever take me seriously now. In five years when I for real want to buy a house the bank will look back to my 'joke' application and deny me for being such a smart ass.
Thankfully I didn't waste too much of her time as she asked me if it was too late to call. Well, yes actually, it is almost 10PM. Who calls that late? She asked if I preferred an email and I said yes.
At least she won't hear me laughing when I read her email denying me a mortgage.

With digital and offline business being so closely intertwined, companies are facing an ever-growing need to track the online-to-offline purchase funnel. A great place to start is with effective call tracking for your Adwords campaigns.
Chances are a large amount of your business's leads come from phone calls, making it critical to understand where those sales are driven from and how you can further leverage those sources. Need a better reason to get ahead of your business's call tracking? Calls to businesses from smartphones are set to reach over 160 billion globally by 2019 – this represents a 73% increase from 2015. Fortunately, Google offers call tracking that is integrated within your current search campaigns, and simpler to implement than many third party call tracking systems.
There are three types of call tracking available through the Adwords platform. All three allow you to track your calls at the keyword level, making them a valuable tool when assessing and optimizing your campaigns. Below is a breakdown of the call tracking options available:
If you're currently using Adwords call-only ads or call extensions, you can easily set up a conversion for phone calls by using your chosen call length and adding it to your current campaigns. The other two more elaborate options, however, are a bit more complex. Once you've obtained the conversion tracking tag from your AdWords account, you'll need to have the tag added to your website, and create a JavaScript snippet to display your Google forwarding number. Your Adwords marketing specialist will be able to follow these steps to implement your call tracking. Once implemented, your account will have an indispensable additional layer of data that will allow you to optimize for calls to your business and drive the best possible ROI.
To date, iProspect clients have seen very optimistic results. The gains from this strategy are twofold: it both attributes additional revenue to their paid search campaigns, while also providing incremental increases to their leads (and thereby revenue), all through optimizing for this new layer of data. With this, businesses are that much closer to closing the gap between their online and offline channels.

observations, comments, findings—factual and fictional— beliefs, and thoughts about the world and its creatures started and maintained as a way to keep amuse and possibly edify the world's pilgrims on their journey to we know not where
Friday, September 22, 2006
This entry will be short, dirge for the republic: The three mice--Warner, McCain, and Graham--didn't cave, as I predicted they had last night: rather, they abandoned the field, fled. They were routed and left only the pathetic spectacle of McCain declaring victory. Yes, they agreed to draft legislation, protecting torturers from prosecution and granting the Bush--and anyother president--authority to define torture, humiliating, and degrading treatment of prisoners out of existence in direct violation of Common Article 3 of the Geneva Conventions, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and everything this country has at least claimed to stand for. Read about it in the Washington Post. The New York Times editorial board got it. The NY Times and L.A. Times news pages did not.

USGS Scientists Team Up with National Geographic's Sustainable Seas Expedition to Explore Deep Reefs at Pulley Ridge
On July 1st, Bob and Katie departed the Gordon Gunter and caught a ride into Key West on a second NOAA vessel, the Ferrel, which was just completing a fish tissue sampling expedition in the Dry Tortugas. The two vacancies aboard the Gunter were quickly filled by newly arriving National Public Radio journalists covering the SSE. The departure date coincided with the ribbon-cutting ceremony celebrating the new no-take fish sanctuary in the Dry Tortugas. The timeliness of this positive event helped focus thoughts among the researchers on the possibility of making Pulley Ridge a marine sanctuary in an effort to preserve its remarkable ecosystem.

What is Human Growth Hormone?
Somatotropin, a growth hormone (GH) created naturally by the pituitary gland, is key in enabling growth throughout childhood. Somatotropin further plays a pivotal role in keeping organs and tissues healthy throughout the lifetime of a human being. This is due to its growth and regenerative properties that enables it to repair damage to the body as well as generate new cells.
For children and adults who have insufficient hormone output, synthetic human growth hormones (HGH) have been made available through a variety of therapies which can restore proper growth hormone levels in the body. More controversially, HGH is said to have a reversal effect on aging. The bodies' ability to create growth hormones decreases naturally due to age, and an artificial increase in growth hormone levels can potentially cause the body to regenerate itself at a more efficient rate then it would be able to naturally.
Types of Human Growth Hormone Treatments
There are three major ways a person can attempt to have HGH treatments done:
Injections are available with a doctor's prescription and are the most effective way to administer HGH. They are regulated by the FDA and are only approved to treat certain ailments. Injections can be a very expensive treatment, and, unless self-administration is allowed by the doctor, injections have to be administered by a qualified professional.
HGH sprays are available without a prescription. The sprays are designed to be sprayed into the mouth, which will allow for quick absorption through the lining of the mouth. Sprays are often homeopathic in nature, and the only benefit provided from these sprays would be the amino acids and vitamins contained therein.
HGH pills, like the sprays, only contain a small amount of HGH and are also available without a prescription. Pills will often contain no HGH at all, and will instead contain other ingredients such as amino acids, vitamins and herbs that are designed to help the body produce more of its own natural growth hormones.
While sprays and pills are considerably less expensive then injections, and do not require a prescription, there is some question of their effectiveness. Pills and sprays are more useful for people who want to take advantage of the possible rejuvenating properties of HGH, and less for those with serious medical conditions which require the more potent injections.
Side Effects and Scams
The following are side effects and scams that you should be aware of when taking the different types of human growth hormone treatments:
- There are side effects to human growth hormone injections that should be discussed with a doctor. Mild side effects may include joint pain and a bit of fluid retention. If an HGH user uses HGH over a long period of time, or overuses HGH for its possible health benefits, side effects could include high blood pressure, abnormal bone growth, diabetes, arrhythmias and even a complete shut down of the pituitary gland. The more extreme side effects are generally only a factor in cases of significant HGH abuse.
- Some companies take advantage of the lack of regulation regarding pills and sprays and may produce items that are of very low quality. Be sure to research possible supplements before buying anything.
- Homeopathic remedies are also available, but, from a strictly scientific standpoint, there is no advantage to using a homeopathic remedy over using a simple placebo.
