Turn signal weirdness
Posted 09 October 2012 - 01:34 PM
My turn signals are acting odd, the left signal specifically. At first I thought I had a bad bulb because when signaled left, it would click fast, but no light on the dash. But, thanks to my laziness, I did nothing about it. At some point I noticed that this was intermittent.
This is where it gets weird...it isn't intermittent. I can wiggle the stick and make it work. It's like there's an issue with the contacts inside the stick.
I did a search and couldn't find this discussed. Has anybody dealt with this in the past? Any ideas on the problem, how to diagnose or fix?
Posted 09 October 2012 - 03:16 PM
Yes it is a DIY provided you are sufficiently limber to lay on the driver's seat, on your back, with your head under the dash.

I could also use a new passenger side seat heater switch ( or my wife could), the heated mirror switch, and a functioning auto dimming mirror
Regardless, I'll take the stick, thanks! Pm me to work out paying for it.
$24 shipped Priority mail if you want mine or I could send it FedEx Ground for less. I have an extra from my 2001 Outback parts car.

How hard is it to replace the stalk?
So yes need to get that patched up before next spring because that could be a major safety issue. Now I find myself looking down every time I left signal to make sure it's actually flashing.
I remember seeing someone else post about this issue with the turn signal some years back, I thought they said they cleaned it out somehow, like there was a dried out grease inside or something?
Driver's side power window up switch is also really funky, it only works sometimes and you have to really fiddle with it.
Posted 13 October 2012 - 07:11 PM
I haven't dug into the column yet, but I would imagine it involves removing the plastic covers and, because it's never that easy, there's probably something that needs to be moved out of the way. Then, based on photos of the new part that I've seen, it's a couple screws holding it to the column and really big plug.
I hope it's that easy!!!
Posted 13 October 2012 - 07:24 PM
That post I'm thinking of, it *might* have been referring to the power window switch, but I just can't remember, I thought it might have been to do with the turn signals. I remember burying that in the back of my mind in case it happened to me, which it now has.

Having done this job, and priced the new stalk, I would not be inclined to install a used one unless I knew it was quite new.
Posted 30 November 2012 - 11:46 AM
I bought a new one because it sounded like it would be a horrible job and the risk of having to do it twice was too great. I could have bought a used turn signal switch on eBay for $35, shipped. Instead I paid $120 to buy a new OEM one. Buy th eBay one!
Here's what you do...
Remove the one screw holding the plastic trim under the column and remove the trim. You will have to flip the column adjuster lever under the column down to get it off, that took me a bit to figure out.
Locate the two screws holding the top plastic trim piece and remove them. This may require you to look underneath the column.
Remove the two screws holding the turn signal switch to the column and unplug.
Put it back together with the new one and you're done. Really really simple!

MSU's defensive coordinator feels at home in Starkville
It's official.
Mississippi State defensive coordinator Manny Diaz feels like a Starkville resident.
After living in the town during the spring with assistant coach Chris Wilson, the former Middle Tennessee State defensive coordinator finally brought his family to his new location.
During MSU media day Saturday, he said now it feels like home to the Diaz household.
"The funny thing is my family didn't move down till June," Diaz said. "We always go on vacation and when we got after that is when I felt like we belonged here. Up until then, I felt like a tourist for the first six months. The biggest thing is the people they've met have been unbelievable."
Diaz is looking to almost reinvent the way not only this current group of players but MSU fans view how defense can be played in his town.
"When coach (Carl) Torbush was here it was like this – go to your spot and if you're not there, that's wrong," senior Emmanuel Gatling said. "With coach Diaz you still have a spot but he's not telling us how to get there. Go do it yourself. That's fun."
For example, the fans that came out to this week's open practices saw a defensive coordinator sprinting 30 yards to help bear hug a player that just earned an interception and run down a defender that just missed an assignment. While the words might have been different, the energy and volume stayed consistent.
"All I know is defense is a high intensity exercise," Diaz said. "If you coach casually, they're going to play casually."
Diaz admits 'casual' is on a list of words he fears.
"When you're young, that's the way young players usually play because that's the habit you're looking to break from high school," Diaz said. "It's very hard to demand that if you golf clap it all day in practice. They need a little bit of energy."
A 36 year-old son of a two-term mayor of Miami that has experience working for College Football Hall of Fame member Bobby Bowden went from telling television talking heads on ESPN how to talk innovation in football to attempting it himself in the Southeastern Conference.
"He told us he wanted to be an attacking defense and everybody wants to go forward," Gatling said. "You can't help but buy into that."
Last season Diaz's defenses, essentially based upon the threat of coming toward you with any of the 11 guys lined up behind the line of scrimmage, at Middle Tennessee State were second in the nation in tackles for loss and sixth in sacks.
Those kind of numbers are a complete reversal from what MSU saw in 2009 when they totaled only 19 sacks the entire season and were near the bottom of the SEC in nearly every category.
This is why Diaz chose to not scout last year's film but for noticeable athleticism that could translate to his multiple schemes.
The Florida State grad, that spent his early years as a coach working with legendary Seminoles defensive coordinator Mickey Andrews, essentially refers to that team in conversation like a different school all together.
"I look at the youth they had to play with and you don't ever try and guess what somebody was doing week in and week out," Diaz said. "It's hard to evaluate a player when you don't understand what they're being told."
Diaz's system has already seen players switching positions like Cameron Lawrence (safety to linebacker) and Johnthan Banks (safety to cornerback) and just like during his days in television, his viewpoint of change whether it's technique, attitude or position on the field can't possibly be worse at Mississippi State in 2010.
"To be perfectly honest, let's take a grain of humility here – no matter what we think of our guys now individually, we weren't rated very high defensively at the end of the year last year," Diaz said. "The talent everybody says we got coming back from last year didn't amount to much."

Basic Fiberglass Preparation Process Before Painting
Fiberglass is lightweight, strong in both compression and tension, and easy to mold into intricate shapes. It was first introduced in the aircraft industry, and has since gained wide acceptance as a material for boat hulls, car bodies, and even residential construction.
The special properties of fiberglass make it a bit tricky to sand into shape, and learning how to sand fiberglass requires a lot of preparatory work and patience. Fiberglass parts are almost never ready for paint when they arrive.
The purpose of the gel coat is mainly to be a separation layer so the part will pop free from it's mold during manufacturing. However the gel coat also serves as the base surfacing layer on the fiberglass product. Gelcoat often can have waviness as well as small pin holes that need to be addressed before it can be painted.
Once the seams are all of proper gap and fitment the items can be taken back apart. You always want to verify the fitment and panel gaps before proceeding to paint preparation.
Any left over wax or grease can contaminate your finish when it comes to paint so this is a very important and critical step to get right.
Once the part has been fully sanded the blemishes will be more apparent. This step will require multiple stages of sanding and filling until the surface is true and free of any defects such as pin holes, surface waviness, spider cracks, chips or other problems.
It is optimal to use a heavy primer coat with a high build primer suited for FRP. This will act almost like a sprayable body filler and allow you to spray out a uniform layer over your prepped piece.
Following this procedure will deliver a final product that is free of waviness and defects and will reflect the painted surface in mirror like fashion.

Aerodynamics Product Disclaimer
We want all consumers to know that there will always be minor sanding, shaving, cutting, and/or filling prior to installing FRP (fiberglass) parts. The primer and or gel coat finish must have every square millimeter completely sanded and other prep work will be required prior to painting.

Submission + - Spamhaus Fine Reduced from $11.7 M to $27 K (theregister.co.uk)
eldavojohn writes: In 2006, anti-spam crusader Spamhaus was sued for "defamation, tortious interference with prospective economic advantage and interference with existing contracts" after blocking "promotional e-mails" from e360. What with the case being in Illinois and Spamhaus being a British outfit, Spamhaus didn't bloody care. So e360 was awarded $11.7 million in damages from Spamhaus but that was thrown out in an appeals court with a request for the lower court to come up with actual damage estimates instead of the ridiculous $11.7 million (e360 had originally stated $135m, then $122m, and then $30m as sums of damages). As a result, the actual damages were estimated to be twenty-seven large. While this is a massive reduction in the fine and a little bit more realistic, I think it is important to note that Spamhaus is a service that people proactively utilize. They don't force you to use their anti-spam identification system, it's totally opt in. And now they're being fined what a foreign judge found to be "one month of additional work on behalf of the customers" to a company that they allegedly incorrectly identified as spam. Sad and scary precedent.

For Folsom Lake riders... this is too bizarre/funny not to share, and another example of the fraction of society that loathes bicycles.
Today, a small group of us rode Sweetwater trail as part of our ride. On the one descent, about 2/3rds of the way to the east parking lot, Tyrone Shoelaces (20 yds in front of me) went around a bend only to see a trail runner coming towards us. Tyrone slowed, the runner was startled and jumped to his left (the uphill side of the trail). No collision, no rudeness, no problem, right?
I immediately pull up and stopped, in time to hear Tyrone politely say "It's a multi-use trail..." (in response to something they runner mumbled to him). The runner, an older guy in his 50's, suddenly lost it... telling us that we were NOT on a multi-use trail and that our trail was over there (he pointed across the lake to Salmon Falls). I was incredulous. I/we explained that we were on the Sweetwater trail, which was built by mountain bikers (FATRAC) and it is very much multi-use. The runner would have none of this, arguing that under no uncertain terms, the trail was for hikers, runners and equestrians ONLY.
After going back and forth for maybe 3 minutes, with us repeating the reality, and him explaining how he's been using these trails for 40 years and is a race promoter, and we were riding illegally and he'd be speaking with his friends at State Parks about us... and me snagging a photo and vid of him :D, we went our separate ways.
I can only guess that he was confused as to what trail he was actually on :confused: Simply amazing. I wish I could hear the conversation he has with his State Park friends...
p.s. Big thanks to whoever cut/cleared all the fallen trees on Sweetwater :thumbsup:

A lot of people on here always start with the stupid sh*t.
It is the first preseason game and we are putting a lot of new guys on the field. This includes two rookies who didn't have a lot of OTA practice and have two weeks of training camp under their belts.
Quit with the chickenhead sh*t, sky is falling, same sh*t every pre-season.

Live Versions: 8.4
- 9
Operating System: WIN
In the 64-bit
version of Live, you can use 64-bit plug-ins natively. 32-bit
plug-ins cannot be used directly in the 64-bit version, but
third-party tools such as jBridge allow
them to be used within the 64-bit version.
An overview of using Live with plug-ins
It is best to
install and store 32-bit and 64-bit plugins in separate folders
- all 32-bit plug-ins should reside in one folder, and all
64-bit plug-ins in another.
You can sort and move all plug-in dll files around even after
they have been installed. However, if plug-ins support both
32-bit and 64-bit, two separate dlls get installed, and you're
usually asked to choose a suitable folder for the 32-bit and
64-bit versions during the installation process.
A good solution is to create these separate
folders on the top level of your system drive:
In this example, you would set the VST Plug-In
Custom Folder to C:\VST_plugins_64 in your 64-bit version of
Live. The custom folder can be set in Live's File/Folder
Finally, as
jBridge requires the plug-in host to
be running with administrator rights, let's enable this for Live
(in this example, a Live 9 Beta is used):
Navigate to the Ableton Live 9 Beta.exe. By
default, it is stored under C:\ProgramData\Ableton\Live 9
Ableton Live 9 Beta.exe to open the context menu and select Properties.
Show the Compatibility tab
and, under Privilege
Level, check Run
this program as an administrator.
Download and
install jBridge.
jBridge tools should also be run as an administrator. Please
refer to the detailed
jBridge setup description for
Please note that
jBridge is not freeware. You
will have to pay a small fee once the demo has expired.
needs to be done as a specific task before the plug-ins can be
used. Again, the process is also walked through in the detailed
jBridge setup description.
Run the jBridger tool.
In the
first window, confirm that you'll be using an x64 (64-bit)
An options
window will be shown. Leave most things at the default
state, but
Uncheck Create
bridging files for 64 bit plugins and
Choose the
recommended file creation method that creates
the necessary files inside a directory you
Select the
folder that contains the 32-bit plug-ins to be bridged -
this would be C:\VST_plugins_32.
Specify the
directory where the necessary files will be created. Select
the directory that already contains your 64-bit native
plug-ins - C:\VST_plugins_64.
confirming, the jBridger will analyze all plug-ins
inside C:\VST_plugins_32 and create bridging files
inside C:\VST_plugins_64.
If you now start Live (64-bit), it will re-scan
the VST plug-in folder and the bridged VST plug-ins will appear
in Live's plug-in browser.
Cleaning up
After the
bridging process has scanned all available 32-bit plug-ins,
you'll most likely see bridged versions of VST plug-ins that are also available
as native 64-bit plug-ins. Since the bridged versions are
unnecessary here, follow these steps to remove them:
Navigate to the plug-in
folder C:\VST_plugins_64.
The bridged
plug-ins appear with a .64 appendix to their name and also
with an accompanying text file of the same name.
delete all those .64 dll & txt files that are laying inside
the folder as twins of regular 64-bit plug-ins.
to Live will not affect this functionality, so your jBridge
settings and bridged plug-ings will still work after updating.
Updates to jBridge should be installed over the
older version. Nothing else needs to be done.

PHOENIXVILLE — Mike Speck will follow in his mentor Leo Scoda's footsteps, succeeding him as mayor of the borough by defeating Ken Buckwalter Tuesday.
"I congratulate my opponent for running a hard-fought campaign," Speck said late Tuesday night. "We both worked hard."
Democrat Speck edged Republican Buckwalter by 29 votes, 1,129 to 1,100, according to unofficial results published on Chester County Voter Services' website.
"I want to thank the voters and the Phoenixville Democratic Committee who supported me and worked very hard all day today," he said.
Buckwalter could not be reached Tuesday night.
"I am looking forward to serving the community as your mayor," Speck said. "We are a diverse community and a community that works toward what's best for Phoenixville. Semper fi."
A Marine Corps veteran who begins every council meeting with "Semper Fi, here and ready to work," Speck, 59, retired from St. Gabriel's Hall in Lower Providence, where he worked as a communication center coordinator.
Speck told The Mercury before the election that he would work closely with Phoenixville Police Chief William Mossman and his officers.
"Updated and ongoing training will be the foundation," of the department, according to Speck.
Although Speck said he would have liked to see a higher voter turnout, he said, "It is what it is, just like any election night."
As a current borough councilman in the East Ward, Speck will continue to serve in that position until January, when he takes over from Scoda.
Council will have to appoint a new person to the East Ward, meaning the East Ward will have brand-new representation in 2014, with Jeremy Dalton taking over for Dave Gautreau after the latter decided to not run for re-election.
Dalton, a Democrat, was unopposed.
Scoda served as mayor of the town for the last 16 years before announcing his intention to retire in January at a borough council meeting.
He endorsed Speck.
A resident of the borough for 31 years and a business owner for 39, Buckwalter, 62 years old, was a former borough council member representing the North Ward until he was voted out in 2011.
Buckwalter advocated expanding Phoenixville's police force from 28 full-time officers to 32 to keep up with "projected growth of the downtown."
Speck beat Letitia Jones in May's primary election before he went on to successfully face Buckwalter.
He was the lone Democrat to win a contested race in the borough Tuesday, with Edwin Soto and Kyle Guie losing the North and Middle Wards to Jon Ichter Jr. and Mike Kuznar, respectively.

Venezuelan police and opposition demonstrators have clashed at the end of a march that gathered tens of thousands of people in Caracas.

TV in Venezuela last night broadcast government rallies and tried to pretend there weren't thoustands in the streets opposing the government.
Our Commie Obmao-adoring press did the same about reporting 1/10 of TEA Party rallies in DC and inflating 10x all the Lefty ACORN and union cretins who marched in their social justice parades.
Just a thought here:
When the government that said it would give you everything you need can't do that anymore... You get people in the street demanding everything under the sun including their freedom from their government.
The economy is collapsing under the weight of the communist policies of the Chavista regieme. Inflation is estimated at 56 percent according to news reports but its really worse in reality.
People are getting in more and more lines every day and it isn't just for toilet paper anymore.
Largest oil reserves in the world, but no toilet paper, I would be mad as hell too...
"Largest oil reserves in the world, but no toilet paper, I would be mad as hell too..."
Don't worry, the communists will provide a communal bidet...
those intitials...dont mean anything these days its indeed all one ugly mass of plastic drek.
All these popular revolts popping up all over the world (Egypt, Ukraine, Venezuela) are challenging the MSM's ability to supress news of widespread discontent against corrupt governments. The MSM is afraid that such ideas could spread to here. So they barely report any of it.
Years ago I was traveling for business in Mexico and South America. You never knew when you would be in need of toilet paper. As the places and method of traveling were somewhat extreme, I always carried an old JC Whitney car parts catalog along. A few people asked why I carried a car parts catalog in my briefcase. I explained that when needed, the pages could be torn from the book and crumpled for emergency use. It's not Charmin, but it worked when it was necessary......
If you judge the size of the crowds by the amount of trash they left behind, pro-Obama rallies overwhelmed the Tea Party rallies, but that would be the only way you could reach that conclusion.
"Pour into your gas tank and this magic product will convert your fuel filter into the finest roll of toilet tissue available."
After all, they did offer the engine rebuild in a can. "That's right. Pour in the gas tank the next time you fill up and this amazing liquid will rebuild piston rings, restore cylinder walls, resurface valve seats and re-seal guides, not to mention create new rod bearings on the fly.
Why spend hundreds on a ring and valve job, when for $11.95 you can pour a rebuild into your tank ... that's right ... a complete engine rebuild ... in a can!" Just in case, they also had magic engine overhaul pellets, too!
What a great company! I bought many of their engine overhaul kits (not the canned product) and never had a problem.
NPR interviewed a guy this morning who they identified as the leader of the student protest movement down there. He was complaining about the government beating and shooting at students. But he said he did not support the political opposition. Instead he sought only reforms from the existing Maduro regime. My thought was, wow, your people are being brutalized and all you want is a better socialism. I hope he's an outlier and that the broader movement is more willing to take out the socialist trash.

West Virginia Mountaineers Tickets
The Mountaineers are finally comfortable in the Big 12, and you can be there to watch it all with West Virginia football tickets from GoTickets. We have the best seats at Mountaineer Field for all the games on the WVU football schedule.

In their first season in the Big 12, the West Virginia Mountaineers finished 7-6, including a 4-5 record in the Big 12. They got off to a torrid start winning their first five games, two of which came against ranked opponents. They defeated the #25 Baylor Bears at Mountaineer Field by a score of 70-63 and then took down the Texas Longhorns on the road by a count of 48-45. They reached #5 in the rankings before falling at Texas Tech in mid-October. Unfortunately WVU wasn't able to shake that loss in Lubbock and they would go on to lose five straight. They were able to remain bowl eligible at the conclusion of the regular season, finishing at 7-5. They were invited to the Pinstripe Bowl at Yankee Stadium where they took on the Syracuse Orangemen. They fell to 'Cuse 38-14 in the Bronx. Despite their late season struggles, the Mountaineers are confident they can be one of the top teams in the Big 12 this season. Get your West Virginia football tickets today to see if they can make a splash in the BCS.
Head coach Dana Holgorsen is entering his third year as head coach of the West Virginia Mountaineers. He has compiled a 17-9 record thus far and will look to improve on that in 2013. If he wants to collect more wins he will have to do it against a very difficult schedule this season. After an easy non-conference game against William & Mary at home, the Mountaineers head to Norman to take on the Sooners on September 7th. If they can make their way past OU, they will prove that they are one of the Big 12's elite teams. Other notable games on the 2013 West Virginia football schedule include home affairs against OK State, Texas Tech, Texas, and Iowa State. Their road opponents include Baylor, K-State, TCU, and Kansas. Get your WVU Mountaineer tickets for all of their upcoming games this season.
Morgantown can be an intimidating place to play, and that will certainly be the case this season as teams from the Big 12 get to experience it for the first time. That should give the Mountaineers an edge, and you can help give them an added boost by cheering them on with West Virginia football tickets from GoTickets.

Microsoft May Replace Xbox Live Chat With Skype 46
CVG is reporting that Microsoft is working on "consolidating all their communications technology" around Skype, which they acquired in 2011 for $8.5 billion. Citing a source within the company, they say Skype will "become the default chat service on the next generation Xbox console as well as on PC and tablets." This would fit in with Microsoft's recent announcement that it is closing Messenger in March and replacing it with Skype. The article also cites a Microsoft job posting from last August which sought a UI designer for "Skype in the living room," with a focus on the next-gen Xbox system.

I think this was a perfect free agency for Thompson. Maybe he should have signed Benson earlier, but this was a perfect free agency. A veteran offensive lineman that probably taught a lot to our younger guys and was, by every indication, going to be a solid starter on our line. Loads of defensive line competition (competition breeds results). And a proven skill position player that (I believe) would have been a 1,000 yard rusher if he stayed healthy.
This free agency was the best one Thompson had since Woodson / Pickett.

You should update this with the current ones in Chicago, especially the official bars ONLY, they support UM Scholarships!
The official alumni bars for Chicago now have in the description that they donate to scholarship programs. As a note, alumni bars have a red pin while "Michigan friendly" bars have a blue pin, and I'm reluctant to remove bars just becasue they aren't official alumni club locations without good reason (i.e. closure/new management/etc).
I'm headed to the Blind Pelican to watch the game today because I saw a U of M flag there last week. I will report back if I made a mistake and it's an off colored other team flag, but I think it's friendly!
Delayed edit: NOT a michigan bar. Didn't even play the Notre Dame game. Cooter Browns is still the best bet I've seen. Tough to find bars that will play Michigan while LSU is playing.
Can you place a marker in the Uptown Dallas Area listing our watch parties? We don't really have an official bar yet (rotating between 2-3 locations: including one owned by a Michigan Alum) but list all of the events on our facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/485900041500701/
It's not associated with the official alumni watch parties in Dallas but we wanted to start a second watch party for the younger alumni in the area (and both groups are aware of each other).
Was looking for a place to watch the game next week in Honolulu. Checked out the Varsity Bar on the map, but it appears according to yelp to be closed. Looks from news stories like it lost its liquor license back in 2012. I'll be looking back to see if anyone has any other ideas....
Great UM bar and all Michigan sports in general. Always have the game on the big screen with the volume turned up and have raffles, giveaways etc... Also the owner played for the Lions in the 80's and the Detroit Lions Fan Club meets there for the Lions games.
1.) Axis Nightclub
2.) The New Union
3.) Wall Street Nightclub
4.) Awol
5.) Slammers.
These Bars are alway packed with Wolverine Fans!
Mods - no worries if you don't see this as its several months old, but as a Columbus resident the places listed are all gay bars so the above poster is getting in a double-dose of Michigan trolling and homophobia. Might be best to just Bolivia this post.
Headed to the Titans home opener on 9/27, so I'm looking for a place to catch the BYU game. Is Bar Louie still the locale in Nashville?
Not sure who is updating or if this is being updated any longer, but the Hoboken, NJ bars are out of date. The local game watching bar this year is McSwiggan's at 110 First Street in Hoboken.
Thank you!
Does this group have a FB page?
Can we add another official Alumni Watch Party Location in Dallas?
The local club is adding an uptown location here in Dallas to supplement the current location up in Frisco.
The bar name is Nickel and Rye (2523 McKinney Ave, Dallas, TX 75201).
A couple of updates for the DC area:
Anybody meeting up in Fort Wayne, Indiana? I've tried to find a place here but no such luck.
I've had good times for games at Angry Wade's and Dram Shop in Brooklyn, but the former is more of a Wisconsin bar, I believe, and the latter is a free-for-all that can get quite crowded. Pork Slope is an unofficial Michigan place but I've gotten bad/surly service the last few times I've gone there. Anyone else have a Brooklyn spot they like to frequent for football that's unofficially an M gathering spot?
Looks like the mentions of Nashville are dated on here. A quick look at the FB Michigan Spirit Club suggested folks are meeting at the Dawg House Saloon, 1522 Demonbreun. Is meeting at Bar Louie still a thing?
Delayed response but after doing some research, it looks like Jed's off 21st over by the Parthenon is the "Official Michigan Football Bar". I plan to go next weekend for the first time.
Check out the Nashville UM Spirit Club group on facebook (Link Here)
Connor O'neills Irish Pub in Boulder shows the game. Second site location hosted by the UM Alumni Club of Denver.
Does anyone know of any bars playing the game in Atlanta tonight? Whitehall Tavern is not stopping trivia for the game.....
Nano Brew in Cleveland, OH on W25th St is no longer a Michigan alumni bar, nor is it Michigan fan friendly. Please remove it!
The Monkey Bar in Indianlantic, FL has a small contingency of Michigan fans, alumnus, and even some old players will stop by from time to time.
Anyone have an update on Charleston locations here in SC? Mad River is no longer. New moon changed its name.
Anyone know of any Michigan bars in South Florida like within an hour of the Palm Beach area?
It's not my favorite place to catch a game, but there's definitely a long-lost UM contingent that gets together at Upper Deck in Hallandale Beach. There's better bars in WPB, but if you're looking for a UM crowd, then the Deck may work.
Let me know too!
In Boca Raton
The Great Canadian in Paris is where the local alumni club watches games.
25 Quai des Grands Augustins, 75006 Paris, France
You wait a little over a year until someone like me updates the map :)
Will be there for the Rutgers game. Assuming a 9:30 AM Pacific start, that makes for a 11:30 PM tip on Sunday Taipei time (accounting for fall-back time change this weekend).
I just moved to Reno and wondering if there are any Michigan bars here. I am usually better off watching at home by myself, but if something happens to my cable or something, it'd be nice to know where I can go to be sure to watch the game.
Cool idea. I was visiting my daughter in Chicago the weekend Michigan and Michigan St. were playing. There was a close bar in town but it was a Michigan State bar. At least I knew they would be playing the game. I went in there with my Michigan gear on and I was the O N L Y supporter of the Maize and Blue. Did I stay? You bet! Michigan won that year and I was the only one clapping and cheering. People were pretty cool about it and I wasn't being a d*ck either. After I left the bar, I noticed there was a Michigan bar 2 blocks down. I didn't know. Come to find out in the neighborhoods around Wrigley there are bars dedicated to each B1G team. Seems theres a lot of kids from the surrounding schools who flock there for their first job.
We just moved to Austin this spring from Grand Rapids, MI. Sad we have to miss home games at the Big House but hoping we can meet some Wolverine fans in this barren wasteland full of Longhorns, Bears and Aggies. The Google maps posted lists Pluckers on Lamar. Any other Austinites that bleed maize and blue? Is this the best place to view a game?
Came to see the same. Not living in Austin, but I will be visiting that weekend. The alumni club site shows Haymaker and Pluckers. I think I'll be staying closer to Haymaker, so I'd probably check out there, but curious if there are any hidden gems.
We're starting a local game watch at the Buffalo Wild Wings in West Des Moines. It will be the only one in all of Iowa!
Buffalo Wild Wings, Jordan Creek Town Center, 6925 Jordan Creek Pkwy #115, West Des Moines, IA 50266
We added another official alumni club bar to the Dallas Fort Worth area lineup for those that live closer to downtown. It is at
2523 McKinney Ave, Dallas, TX 75201
The Buffalo Alumni club meets at the following places.
Brennan's. 4401 Transit Road in Williamsville (Old place where suburban people still show)
Brawler's Deli (basement of Pearl Street Brewery) 76 Pearl St, Buffalo, NY 14202 (current official meeting place)
The Thirsty Buffalo 555 Elmwood Ave, Buffalo, NY 14222 (Alternative official place)
On the board for UM Nashville Spirit Group and happy to share that we've got two new locations this year:
The Slider House - 1907 Division, Nashville, TN
Brewhouse South - 1855 Galleria BLVD, Cool Springs, TN
Both will be able to provide game audio and allowance of the all-important cowbell. We're also aiming to do raffles and drink specials at select games to raise money for scholarships from our area.
Lastly, people are encouraged to like the University of Michigan Nashville Spirit Group FB page.
Go Blue!

A fellow alum and Colorado resident watched the CU game at Connor O'Neill's in Boulder. He said it was decked out with M banners and such. Apparently there is also a Connor O'Neill's in Ann Arbor as well, which neither of us knew, so I'm guessing there is a connection.
Conor O'Neill's Irish Pub
1922 13th St,
Boulder, Colorado 80302
Ph: 303-449-1922
Should add to map to go along with LoDo's in Denver.
Edit: April 14, 2017
Closing April 22, 2017 per the Denver Post.
My WatchParty App is being designed around this feature of listing best sports bars throughout the USA. A drill down feature will also allow for a team based bar like UM/MSU/ND, etc.
Users of the App can send in their favorites as well so it becomes a fan based App.
I'm going to be in downtown Washington DC for the Iowa game... Michigan friendly bar in the area?
I know it's a little late for this season but I did some updating of the map and will continue to do so through the holidays.
It seems like some cities change location yearly. If you run a group that changes location regularly and use facebook for organization purposes could you please provide a link/name to that group. Places like Nashville and Charlottesville use facebook to organize and I have included that information on the map for locations in those areas.
EDIT: Also, if you know of bars that are either no longer open or not Michigan friendly please let us know. I deleted a few but I imagine more exist.
Any Michigan bars in Nassau County?
… hosted the football watch parties for the U.M. Alumni Association of Tampa Bay this season. I'd add them to this map — 1320 Central Ave, St. Petersburg, FL 33705.
Also Grand Tavern in Delray Beach, Fla., is a Michigan-themed sports bar. They fly the flags of all major Michigan teams, tho', so you'll likely see a giant Sparty logo painted on the window next to an equally huge maize "M". It's at 710 Linton Blvd., Delray Beach, FL 33444.
Per the Denver Post Conor O'Neill's in Boulder is shutting down. Please remove from the map.
Exclusive 2017 Houston watch party venue is 3rd Floor, 2303 Smith Street. It is located on the 3rd floor of the same building as Pub Fiction. There is an elevator that will take you to the 3rd floor of the 2303 Smith Street building.
Hello! GO BLUE! I see the old posts listing places in DC which are now closed to watch the University of Michigan games... does anyone have any updated bar information for the Alexandria, VA or DC areas? Thanks!
Slider House will once again be official watch party location for Nashville University of Michigan Alumni Club. Open to everyone. Though they're on the map, Bar Louie is a State bar, and Crow's Nest and Brewhouse South are no longer gathering locations.
I recently moved to Columbia, MO and was wondering if there is a Michigan game watch here, or at least a Big Ten bar?
Game watch party has moved from Conor O'Neills to Bohemian Biergarten, btw.
On Hilton Head Island for the weekend and The Dry Dock Bar on William Hilton Parkway was listed on an Island Visitors site as a Michigan bar so we checked it out. Walked in and the bartender was wearing an "Ann Arbaugh" t shirt. Not a huge place but cool to watch the game with 20 or so other Michigan fans this far south.
The Michigan bar on Southport in Chicago is not Jacks anymore. It's the diag
Rody's Tavern
The Triad Alumni Association meets at Fisher's Grille downtown.
Thank you. Really, very helpful a necessary tool for Real Michigan fans.GO BLUE
Anybody have an updated bar for Charleston, SC? I see on the map that the bar listed may be in question. Wife and I will be there this weekend. Looking for a spot to watch the Final Four game.
We are doing all game watches for basketball and football at the location below. Please follow our page for more info.

The 2008 Minnesota Judicial Branch annual report to the community is now available. In keeping with our efforts to use resources wisely while we focus on our constitutional responsibility of resolving disputes, we have issued our report online (22.5 MB). We hope you find the report informative and easy-to-use.
This year's report reviews the very ambitious agenda we are pursuing to build the 21st Century Minnesota court system. In the past two years we have completed work on a new statewide case information management system that allows electronic, real-time sharing of information between the courts, law enforcement and our other justice system partners. We have made it possible to look up both district and appellate court cases through our Website. We have added telephone and online fine payment options for three of our largest courts, with more to be added soon. We are working with law enforcement agencies and prosecutors to enable the electronic filing of complaints and traffic citations, a system that will reduce work and speed case processing.
The report details how we have increased collections of fines and fees and have been very busy innovating, cutting costs and improving access to court records for our justice system partners and the public. In addition to being good for the citizens of Minnesota - many of these initiatives have also received national recognition for being innovative and effective. "Though the budget challenges faced by the state have impacted the judiciary, we remain committed to our constitutionally prescribed mission of providing fair and timely resolution of cases and controversies," said Chief Justice Eric J. Magnuson.

"Take charge of your life. Keep growing, and always be ready for decisions or opportunities that come your way. Be active, not passive, and strive to be good at what you are doing. Do 5 percent more than other people. Be a leader — people love leaders."
This is some of the sage advice UMass President Robert Caret gave to a class of nearly 40 chemistry majors during a recent talk.
"Follow what you love doing, not because it will make money — but if you can combine both, that would be great," said Caret.
Prof. James Whitten, chair of the Chemistry Department, invited Caret to speak to students enrolled in "Introduction to the Discipline of Chemistry." The course provides information about career opportunities in the field, including biochemistry and analytical/environmental, forensic, materials, polymer and pharmaceutical chemistry. It also gives an introduction to graduate schools and teaching positions. In addition to classroom lectures, guests from industry, government laboratories and academia are invited to discuss what it means to be a chemist.
Caret, who is a faculty member of UMass Lowell's Chemistry Department, served as president of Towson University in Maryland and, before that, San Jose State University in California before assuming the top post at the University of Massachusetts last year, following Jack Wilson's retirement.
Caret talked about his varied experiences — from being a mathematician and an organic chemist to being a teacher, industry researcher and school administrator. He also shared with the class some amusing stories about his research on pheromones, chemical signals used by animals for communication, mating and defense. He was particularly interested in the chemistry of sulfur-containing compounds secreted by anal scent glands in skunks. He and his coworkers in the lab had to "milk" the skunks every day to collect the chemicals before they found a farm in New Hampshire that sold frozen vials of the compound.
He added that although he is currently not working in chemistry day to day, his academic background gives him credibility to be an effective administrator.
"Chemistry can lead you to unexpected roles like mine," said Caret.

Whether it's shooting out kneecaps gangster-style, sneaking through the shadows and snapping necks like a spy, or flying over the city beating down crime with your comic book-inspired heroics, you love action. This is the place for you.
I vote for San Andreas. But Vice City is a close second.
...in the shower.
Grand Theft Auto IV is the definitive GTA experience. It's just so good. It has everything, Great single player story, fun online multiplayer, tons of stuff to find and do, amazing graphics.
If you post it, they will troll.
I always liked GTA. I'm going to have to go with part 4. Only because it is a next gen game, and has all the cool stuff, but I do hold a lot of memories with vice city.
I have to say San Andreas. It was incredible, funny, and shocking at times because of the plot twists. Of course, Four is what I would choose next because of its innovation and perfection. It was so addictive that a famous movie critic even recommended that people play it instead of watching the summer movies that came out.
"Iba se ori egun Ìlà arun, Ìwò arun, ariwa arun, gusuu arun, egun orun, egun ayie, ase."

Come on....you people call yourselves gta fans? Grand Theft Auto. The original. It was a new light in a dark video game world. You could drive anywhere, kill anyone, and steal any car. The missions were the best out of the series also. And at the time it was amazing to have freedom in how you are gonna complete the mission.
I would say, GTA SA. It was the biggest game, and there was a lots of things to do. Note that it's just my opinion.
Dude I just got Gay Tony and he rocks my socks. Sky diving is freaking off da hook, man! New favorite GTA even if it is just an expansion.
Yeah San Andreas was the best. One of the best stories, very interesting characters, completely new enviroments, and ofc the most important the best cheats in GTA history
San Andreas is my favorite gta, followed by gta4
Kratos vs. Master ChiefBlades of Chaos vs. Mjolnir ArmourWinner vs. Loser
I have to go with GTA IV because of the story (all three) and the fact that it seemed far more than just running killing and acting stupid. It felt like you were actually playing something with depth.
Every time I answer this question it's different. I'll say GTA III but there all amazing.
BY FAR it was GTA San Andreas. It had mountains, jet packs, planes, gangs, turf wars, rurals and the ghetto. GTA 4 couldn't even pack all of that stuff in one game. Brilliant.
all of them, but i really like vice city!
I have to say 1 for each platform .360 : 4 of course . psp : liberty city stories because of originality . ps2 : san andreas for being top of the line .
my favorite was the ballad of gay tony dlc

The land assigned to the Jaitapur Nuclear Power Plant is 938 hecatres of the Madban plateau, in Ratnigiri district of Maharashtra. This lateritic plateau is one of the world's ecological and biodiversity 'hot-spots,' a rich grassy plain sloping down to glittering coastline in the lush region of Konkan, south-west India. The Environmental Impact Assessment report for the Jaitapur plant has termed this land as "rocky with poor fertility" and "barren," conveniently paving the way for construction. This is a lie.
Madban's rich biodiversity spans moist deciduous and semi-evergreen forests, open scrubs, mangrove forests and coastal and creek waters. It is a unique and highly delicate ecosystem, in which all species exist in a fine and integrated balance. Constructing a nuclear power plant there will destroy its natural wealth.
What is an Environmental Impact Assessment?
Proposed projects in India require environmental clearances from the Ministry of Environment and Forests, and this includes any new nuclear power projects. Clearances are based on the findings of an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) report. However, there are a lot of problems with the EIA process that prevents it from being an objective evaluation, particularly in the case of nuclear power projects.
EIAs are prepared by independent consultants, but the data they use on background radiation and how much radioactive material is expected to be released is provided to them by the nuclear establishment. This removes any assurance of impartial evaluation of radiation exposure around nuclear power plants. The assessment of the risk from radioactivity - the singular largest concern for nuclear power projects - is also admitted to be outside of the expertise of the environment ministry, and so performed by the Atomic Energy Regulatory Board, or AERB. While the AERB is the designated safety regulator for all nuclear matters in India, their ability to deliver this mandate is severely compromised by the fact that it is provided technical staff by the Department of Atomic Energy.
After the written report, the EIA process has two further components: a public consultation and an appraisal by a committee of experts. Both these processes are often heavily biased towards the nuclear establishment. Concerns raised by the public are glibly dismissed, responded to with simplistic answers that insult the intelligence of those posing the questions, or sometimes simply ignored. Members of the apparently objective committee of experts, charged with making a final decision on whether a project should be cleared or not, are often sourced from within the nuclear establishment that they are supposed to be assessing.
The impact of reprocessing spent nuclear fuel, one of the most highly radioactive and therefore dangerous steps of the nuclear fuel chain, is exempt from EIA reports in India.
The Jaitapur EIA
The Ministry of Environment and Forests has issued legally binding guidelines for EIAs on nuclear facilities. The Jaitapur EIA ignores or glosses over many of these. For others, it presents data and conclusions which are simply wrong.
Crucial areas that the Jaitapur EIA report fails to assess to any satisfactory level include:
It's a sloppy report, with mistakes and contradictions even from one page to the next.
The public consultation for Jaitapur was held in May 2010 under the watchful eye of a large police force: hardly an atmosphere for comfortable and democratic protest. Protocol dictates that the EIA must be distributed at least a month in advance to all affected villages in the local language, which in this case would be Marathi.
Yet the Marathi EIA for Jaitapur was handed to only one of the five villages that fall in the proposed plant site, and only four days before the hearing. Hardly sufficient time to analyse a 1200-page document on the environmental impacts of unknown nuclear technology in your neighbourhood.

Lab Results In, Need Help
Lab Results In, Need Help
I have been reading these forums the last few months and decided to build up the courage to post.
I Currently suffering from very low libido, low energy or fatigue like symptoms, and slow metabolism. I have also recently had bouts where my body feels somewhat achy (inflamation?) and it takes longer to recover from workouts. I'm 30 and I'm in decent shape because I eat good & work out often. I feel that I'm suffering from some kind of hormonal imbalance along with either slight adrenal or thyroid problems despite having a healthy lifestyle. I abused marijuana for many years when I was younger and have never felt the same since. I think the exessive abuse messed me up internally and and the last few years I have had next to no sex drive and feel tired all the time. I also am very carb/sugar sensitive and will gain weight fast if I stray from the very clean diet I have now.
Here are my recent blood work results with ranges and would like some opinions on what I should do next in regards to seeing a doctor or trying out meds to see if they improve my situation.
Thyroid TSH 3.95 uIU/ml (.350 - 5.500)
Prostate Specific Ag .5 ng/ml (0.0 - 4.0)
Testesterone, Serum 479 ng/dl (241 - 827)
Free Testesterone 17.4 pg/ml (8.7 - 25.1)
LH 1.9 mIU/ml (1.5 - 9.3)
FSH .7 mIU/ml (1.4 - 8.1)
Progesterone 1.9 ng/ml (.3 - 1.2)
DHEA-Sulfate 471 ug/dl (120 - 520)
Estradiol 30 pg/ml (0-53)
DHT 27 ng/ml (30 - 85)
Cortisol 21.5 ug/dl (3.1 - 22.4)
Prolactin 19.9 ng/ml (2.1 - 17.7)
SHBG 13 nmol/L (13 - 71)
Albumin, Serum 4.5 g/dl (3.5 - 5.5)
There are a few things that look way off here, especially DHT, Prolactin & SHBG. I recently went to the doctor and he told me that these numbers were still within 'statistical' range and that I should be happy that I'm a young healthy adult. This is the second doctor that has told me this basically and I think they are full of crap. The way that I feel now compared to how I did before abusing drugs is night & day. I know for sure that something is obviously wrong and really want to find out and get the needed help to recover because I have hid my problems for the last few years thinking that I would get better, but so far I haven't. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
If they are out of range they should be addressed END OF STORY !! This crap "oh your just alittle bit out of range, but your healthy as a horse" WTF do they know if you are fine just by looking at you. THAT is not answer..
TSH is possibly showing low thyroid which could be representing your low shbg which is common with underactive thyroid. DHT is given to increase libido why guys respond to tcreams when they have low DHT. Might want to look into insulin resistance as well to verify why shbg could be low, inuslin resistance and thyroid go hand and hand alot of times.
Need further blood work ft3, ft4 to answer thyroid question. Prolactin is a big problem ..Progesterone may being diverted to cortisol for some appreant reason (infection, trmatic event, over training, under eating, not enough sleep, chemical exposure, ect) again the idea is pin point exactly win this happen and when you started first feeling like crap and re examine 6 months back from then usually you find your answer...Mine was simple contest diet (minreal imbalances), under eating, over training, lack of sunlight, using an AI when not needed lowered e2, Excessive ALA w/o biotin, fatty liver lead to insulin resitance started the cascade of short circut of the HPTA axis plain and simple..
Lifestyle pattern are simpliest to address before jumping into tinkering with hormones
How are your sleep patterns?
what time you goto bed and wake up
do you work night shift or work at a night club late at night?
How much sun you get each day
Do you wake up feeling refreshed?
Do you sleep sound or toss and turn each night and have a
hard time getting to sleep
What is your eating habits like
what time do you workout and how long how often?
Do you take a good multivitamin (ZMA may help before bed time)
Are you happy with your life
Any family or stresful events in your life in past 6 months
have you had any infection in last 6 months
High prolactin could potentially be signs of a prolacatinoma but usually they produce prolactins in the hundreds or more so this is prolly not the case but if u worry u could have that checked out.
I would test for TSH, Free T4, Free T3 and prolactin again at the same time if i were u. That would definatly give u a better picture of whats going on. TSH is just the signal to produce more thyriod hormones, u need free t4 and free t3 to know that they are actually beeing produced in the correct amount.
If it turns out u are low in free t4 and or free t3, then all u might need is thyriod meds.
good luck
After is in range do all other.
June 1999 Le Magazine: In The News: Elevated Prolactin Linked To Breast Cancer
============================== ============================== ========
Male - Prostate Cancer Patient
- Prolactin level no higher than 2.0
There are three FDA-approved drugs that suppress prolactin secretion. If a blood test reveals prolactin levels are elevated, ask your doctor to prescribe one of the following drugs:
- Bromocriptine (2.5 mg one or more times a day)
- Pergolide (.25 mg to .50 mg twice a day)
- Dostinex (.5 mg twice a week)
Check prolactin levels again in 30 days to make sure the drug you choose is suppressing prolactin release from the pituitary gland into the blood.
Dostinex is the newest and cleanest drug to use. Dostinex has fewer side effects than the older drugs, is more effective in suppressing prolactin than the older drugs, and requires only twice a week dosing. It should be noted that Durk Pearson and Sandy Shaw recommended bromocriptine as a prolactin suppressing agent back in 1982, and the FDA spent millions of taxpayer dollars keeping Americans from accessing this drug for the purpose of disease prevention. Since 1982, about 700,000 American women have died of breast cancer.
Last edited by cpeil2; 07-24-2007 at 07:46 PM. Reason: fix type
- Pergolide (.25 mg to .50 mg twice a day)
More info: pergolide has been voluntarily withdrawn from the market.
Also re: Dostinex - the risk of valve disease is considerably lower in those taking to lower prolactin because the typical dose is much lower.
Bromocriptine - There have been isolated reports of valve disease after long-term use for Parkinson's. Again, though, it appears that the risk is dose-related.
Thanks alot guys, this by far is most answers I have gotten in the last few years. I wish I would have known about this forum sooner. I was so sick of hearing the last two doctors I was seeing that I'm healthy and that I'm probably just a little depressed. I have never suffered from depression in my life! I wish they would be more open and proactive in trying to listen to the sympoms I'm suffering from.
Anyway, I will try the Dostinex to see if that improves my condition. I'm really hoping that it will improve my condition before I have to figure something else out if it doesn't work. I'm also going to get a full thyroid panel done since I suspect I have some problems in this area also. I'm also going to get an insulin resistance test also.
I have also heard that DHT is extremely important in regards to a mans sex drive and I noticed that mine is very low. Are there anyways to get DHT to a mid - level range?
Also, would TRT be beneficial in anyway to try to get my Test to around 600 from the 479 it's at currently, or do you think my levels are ok where they are at right now?
Also, I would be open to seeing someone like Dr. John. Does my situation seem complicated enough that it would be best to put myself under his care, or should I try to self - treat first & then consider more help later? Thanks again eveyone!
If still low after dostinex and u want to try TRT, gels/creams will make more of a conversion to DHT than injections.
^^Thanks for the above info.
Anyone else have any reccomendations on increasing DHT and it's effect on sex drive? Besides Prolactin, does anyone think that my very low DHT levels could be affecting my lack of sex drive?
When you are on testosterone the TotalT values are only a guidance, main number is FreeT. You aim is to have it (160-250), closer to the top. The balance is higly dependent on SHBG. Your SHBG=13, that is low. Eventually T supresses SHBG if in excess, you do not have much room.
SHBG levels are connected to insuline, sugar and metabolic syndrome, check that area.
SHBG levels may change, but at your current level you would need
TT~500 to have FreeT~160
TT~750 to have FreeT~250
See if only HCG (no T) may give you enough in this area.
Do not worry about DHT, not yet.
Bottom line, from my previous post, Prolactin first.
The rest may fall into right place on its own.
^^Thanks for the great advice. I posted in another forum and got similiar advice from someone else. The poster reccomended 100 IU's of HCG a day to increase levels. I think I'll try dostinex first to see what kind of response I get & then start with HCG.
Does anyone know typically how long it would take to see results from taking Dostinex if it works for me? Also, is HCG a safe longterm method to increase test levels & is it a more viable option that taking a Test gel?
I'm going to get a complete Thyroid panel & Insulin resistant tests done and will post results once labs are in. I'm sure I have a problem in this area because of fatigue and not being able to eat carbs without gaining weight fast. Thanks again everyone.
Im agnostic about using scripts to lower prolactin. Prolactin is something that often corrects itself on a proper doctor monitered TRT program.
You almost have enough Testosterone with your current very low SHBG level, increase T and your SHBG may go lower.
Clarify your situation about Thyroid.
One of the thyroid related problems is non-reliable testosterone cream penetration thru skin.
That would not stop me from trying compounded pregnenolone cream, I guess there is not much choice.
Metabolic syndrome
is probably the logical sequence of events for you.
Best choice see dr John.Originally Posted by health4life24
Other advice:
You are going to have to do some tests, with or without dr John, there is no other way.
Look into Thyroid and Adrenals.
You need good (Ultrasensitive) E2 test, off hand E2 is about right, was that with or without Liquidex?
Your DHT is rather low.
Looking at your LH & FSH I would say that you are secondary, you should give your testis a chance.
So going for HCG is a good way.
Use this guidelines I posted for someone in similar situation.
Bloodwork question? Androgel - MESO-Rx
When you will (hopefully arrive at better BAT and DHT levels, yore sex drive (usually) is acutely) proportional to correct E2 levels.
This can be achieved by testing and carefull observation.
Possibly/hopefully your higher Prolactin is not going to play too much in it.
============================== =============
Your energy or lack of it should be figured out by NutrEval testing.
If you do that test, make sure that you do not take any supplements, vitamins, minerals, similar for at least a month.
But do not stop HCG or Liquidex.
Just eat plain food, and drink plain water, totally nothing special.
People who go crazy with their diets, still are defficient somewhere, NutrEval will tell you what you need without going crazy.
Digestive juces are imortant.
No antacids or similar.
I eat 6 tabs with every meal:
Country Life Betaine Hydrochloride with Pepsin -- 600 mg - 250 Tablets - Vitacost
Country Life Betaine Hydrochloride with Pepsin -- 600 mg - 250 Tablets
Along same line, digestive enzymes and probiotics.
Post your body temperature.
Take thermometer with you to bed, keep it close to you, so you do not wake up too much trying to reach for it.
Measure yout body temp first thing when you wake up.
why are we in a 10-month old thread?
and i think this fellow's condition is rather obvious....his testes obviously work rather well, if he can make that much test from virtually NO LH/FSH...his problem is at the hypothalamus; he's apparently suppressed from the very high cortisol, prolactin, and progesterone. this may be stress related, or maybe not. B6 is a start for the prolactin and progesterone...if no luck then bromo/caber...i would definitely try out some relaxation techniques too (or even pharmaceutical stress relievers, the herbal kind preferably)
wiki says that prescription drugs often cause high prolactin...what else is he taking? additionally, dopamine being a prolactin inhibitor means that depression could cause it, too.
Jan, your tolerance for meds never ceases to amaze me.
Thanks JanSz. I'm currently on my 3rd day of 200 IU's of HCG. Haven't felt much yet, maybe a little more energy. Nothing in the libido dept. yet though. This is very frusterating to say the least and it's ruining my life. All of my paychecks have gone into paying for labs and drugs that have done nothing for me so far. I have tried just about everything short of Test.
I did try dostinex and it didn't really do anything. I thought estrogen may have been a problem, but used liquidex from the AG Guys, which really had no effect at all. I tried Armour thyriod also, did nothing for libido. I guess I'll stick with HCG for the next few weeks and up the dose to see if it has any effect.
Well, this all started after many years of heavy marijuana abuse( along with drinking allot as well). I totally lost my sex drive from it and and wonder if either my hormones or chemicals in the brain were effected from it. I'm guessing it could be a few things:
1. Low Test & (low dht?) My body needs to reach a certain 'threshold' in order to feel right again
2. Nuerotrasmitters/Chemical Imbalance
could it be something like oxytocin, or some other chemical I'm defficient in?
3. Some kind of suppression
As stated above, high cortisol or progesterone? Would these inhibit libido?
If you guys have any other insights, I would greatly appreciate it.
I got to this # of Betaine HCL pills by tial.
Read this article
From what you have posted I see just one blood test.
Rather sketchy and incomplete blood test.
From that test you are trying to divine all your answers.
If you have done any other testing, post it here.
Post all tests that you did, group them by dates.
Post name, number, units, range.
You took invalid Estrodial test that shows you almost within range and used Liquidex, killed the little of any hormones that you have.
To rebuld your previous estrodial level may take more than 2 months.
Now you are taking insignificant dose of HCG and hoping that it will work miracles for you.
You did not do anything about your thyroid except taking Armour (blindly), you do not know if you need it or not.
All this took you 10 month or more to accomplish.
This is using up you will power and causing more problems.
You are also complaining about money, that must be toughest part.
No wonder, someone feeling like a s*t have a hard time to hustle for $$'s.
With out good testing it is going to be tough (impossible) to help you.
In post #2 HAN gave you lots of possiblilities, I do not see any reaction to them, that was 10 months ago.
Not sure what you are trying to accomplish with your HCG now.
One possibility is that you may want to do stimulation test and see if your testis are able to produce more testosterone.
That involves larger dose of HCG and timely blood test to check your reaction.
Check my post #79 for better understanding,
Start someplace with your HCG dose and test to see what it gives you.
Watch also your DHT level, if it does not go any higher, you may end up with transdermal T-gel after all.
Do complete thyroid panel.
