Beautiful NAD 6325 Stereo Cassette Deck Tape Recorder Picture(s) and Description:
This auction includes the 6325 stereo cassette deck and print-out of a downloaded owner's manual. Please look carefully at the photographs provided. They are of the actual item being auctioned and are accurate descriptions of its cosmetic condition. This auction is for a really beautiful NAD 6325 Stereo Cassette Deck. I have carefully examined this player/recorder and cleaned it thoroughly. All controls work smoothly and quietly. The read-out functions as it should and is easy to read. I tested all basic functions and found that all work as they should. The tape door opens smoothly, playback produces excellent sound quality, recording function was successfully tested and the resulting sound quality was excellent. The sound produced by this tape player/recorder is of high quality. I found no functional problem with this 6325 whatsoever. The cosmetics of this tape deck are really excellent. There are almost no visible defects anywhere on the unit. The NAD/grey faceplate has virtually no defects, the dial glass is perfect, and control knobs and buttons are in excellent scratch-free condition. The grey metal cabinet shows no scratches, scrapes dents or stains. This unit is really quite handsome. The design is typically NAD - clean, understated and classy. The NAD 6325 was produced from 1989 through 1998 with a $279. retail price. It will work with chrome, metal or normal tapes and has Dolby B and C noise reduction. It features 2 functions of note: there is a Car button that actuates circuitry which alters the record function to produce tapes intended for use in car audio systems or other portable players that would be subject to loud background sounds; there is a Play Trim control which is a special high-frequency playback equalization circuit that permits the user to correct during playback for biasing that doesn't match that of the tape when recorded. This results in achieving the best possible sound quality from tapes recorded on different recorders. Overall, this is one of the easiest-to-use tape decks I've ever encountered. I carefully inspect, clean and repair when I can (and if necessary) every piece of electronic equipment I sell and I have described this 6325 to the best of my ability. I believe this tape deck – given proper care - will perform as it does now for years to come but since it is a piece of used electronic/mechanical equipment, it is being sold as is with no returns or warranty. At the conclusion of the auction, it will be carefully packed - using double boxing and ample padding - so that it will be received in the condition described. The buyer will be responsible for paying all shipping costs (for a box with 20"x19"x11" dimensions and a shipping weight of approximately 18 pounds). I will ship this item to the lower 48 U.S. only. Payment must be made to the seller within 4 days of the close of auction – no exceptions.

Potential Photography Courses
Would it be incredibly insane of me to take up a photography course while working two jobs and studying full- time at uni?
I was considering enrolling part-time in a Tafe course to get some kind of accreditation in photography before finishing my Bachelor of Journalism at the end of next year. I had a look at the website for Gold Coast Tafe, but the only similar thing offered was graphics, which I'm not particularly interested in. I told mum and she told me she had seen a short course advertised at the SAE Institute in Byron Bay.
I looked in to it and it turns out there are a few five- week photography courses offered at SAE. The downside is that they have no accreditation. While it's a 50 minute drive away, my family has a second home down in Byron Bay, so it's not as though I'd need to drive home to the Gold Coast after every weekly class.
Alternatively, it turns out the Academy of Design on the Gold Coast also offers tuition in photography. They offer a Certificate IV in Photoimaging and a Diploma of Photoimaging. However, both these courses are 20 hours a week for six months, which might just kill me on top of uni.
The Certificate IV in Photoimaging can also be completed in 40 weeks (six-10 hours/week) or 18 months (three hours/week)
Three hours a week is ideal, but 18 months is a prolonged commitment. I would have to start ASAP to get the certificate shortly after my degree. I'm not sure it's even available to start again this year.
The next starting date for the 40 week course is July 29th, which gives me just over six weeks to think about it. It would be one day a week: 9am to 3.30pm on Fridays. I really want to do it! I don't have uni on Friday's at the moment, but I don't know what my timetable will be like next semester, which starts in September.
It looks as though the only sensible option is the short courses at SAE. I just wish it had some accreditation!

Book Description:
In her rich and nuanced debut novel, Haven Kimmel brings to life two irresistible people at odds with their small-town lives and with each other. Langston Braverman does not come home to Haddington, Indiana, because she is searching for a simpler life. Having just walked out of her Ph.D. oral exams and abandoned the remains of a disastrous affair, she has retreated to her parents' attic to nurse a bruised heart and maybe even write a great American novel. It does not escape her attention that the town is abuzz with the death of her childhood friend, Alice, but not even this morsel of intrigue can rouse Langston from her self-imposed existential dilemma.A few houses down Plum Street, Amos Townsend is obsessed with Alice's murder and his inability to stop it from happening. A preacher struggling with his role as a spiritual leader after suffering a profound crisis of faith, he finds comfort in helping Alice's two small girls, who have renamed themselves Immaculata and Epiphany. When the children claim to speak to the Virgin Mary in the backyard tree, Amos and Langston become adversaries in their attempts to protect the girls, failing to recognize that they are on the same side.Told with remarkable wit and sweeping empathy, The Solace of Leaving Early is the story of finding our better selves through accepting the shortcomings of others. With gentle humor, beautiful prose, and a warm empathy for the buried wounds of the human heart, Haven Kimmel has created an unforgettable and wise debut.

Cheap Things You Never Use Are No Bargain
Published on - October 26th, 2010 (Modified on - October 27th, 2010) (by J.D. Roth)
A couple of months ago, I shared some of the things I choose to spend my money on now that I've paid off my debts, saved for emergencies, and am funding my retirement. Most folks seemed to get my message: I cut back hard on the things I don't care about (cable TV, clothes, newspapers and magazines) so that I can afford to spend on the things that do matter to me.
As I say, most people seem to get this, and understand that I'm not saying, "Hey you! Go spend a lot of money on whatever you want!" Because I'm not saying that. That's not my message at all. I'm simply saying that if you can afford it, and if it's something you'll use and enjoy, there's nothing wrong with spending on what you want — even if it's expensive.
In fact, I'd argue that in some cases, the expensive option can actually be the most frugal choice. (The frugalest choice?) What do I mean?
Let's take my physical fitness, for instance. As you know, I've struggled with both diet and exercise for decades. I've had success now and then, but mostly I've failed. And I've spent a lot of money to fail.
I've purchased weights and DVDs and exercise balls and gym memberships and fitness machines and fancy shoes and, well, a lot of Stuff. Most of this has been a waste of money. Why? Because I never use it.
I'm not completely stupid. Eventually I caught on that buying running shoes didn't make me a runner, and that buying dumbbells didn't give me muscles. So, instead of buying new Stuff, I started finding exercise equipment for free (or cheap).
For example, when my neighbors decided to simply give away their exercise bike, I took it. And when they gave away their other exercise equipment, I took that too. But you know what? I saved money, sure, but I was just as fat and sedentary as I always was — and now I had a lot more exercise equipment taking up space around the house. Free Stuff is still Stuff.
In April, I visited a local gym that uses the Crossfit methodology. (I'm not going to explain the system now — go read about it at Get Fit Slowly.) I tried Crossfit for a week. It killed me, but I loved it. It just felt right. It felt like something I could stick with. I asked how much it cost to join.
When the owner quoted me a price of $200 a month, I hesitated — but only for a moment. I signed up, and I've been paying $200 a month ever since.
Two-hundred dollars a month?!? Am I nuts? How can I possibly justify such an expense when other gyms cost $40 or $50 a month? Especially since I could do a lot of the Crossfit exercises for free at home? Easy. I'm okay spending $200 a month for Crossfit because it works.
I've lost 35 pounds this year, with more to follow. I'm stronger than I've ever been. I'm faster than I've ever been. I feel good. This is worth two-hundred bucks a month to me. Because I can afford it, cost isn't an issue. In fact, I'd argue that this is a frugal expense because I use what I'm buying.
On the other hand, I have mountains of exercise equipment at home that I've bought and never used. (Okay, "mountains" is an exaggeration, but you know what I mean.) And all that free gear I got from the neighbor? That may have been cheap, but it wasn't frugal. Cheap things you never use are no bargain! And something with a steep price tag can be a steal — if you get good value from it.
When you buy something, whether it's an object or a service, ask yourself how much you'll really use it. (And watch to see how much you actually do use it.) If there's something you use a lot, it's okay to pay for it, especially if it's important to you. But I'd argue that if it's an item or service you seldom use, you're better off paying as little as possible.
Can you think of costly items and services that are actually good deals for you? Do you have collections of cheap things you never use? How have you learned to tell the difference?
Awesome post! I am slowly learning the downfalls of "spaving" – spending + saving. I've also struggled with fitness, and am currently exploring various routes to see what works best for me- yoga classes in LA are expensive, as are bikes, but if either one actually gets me moving, then I'll go for it! You can't put a price on good health, right?
I think there is nothing wrong with $200 per month for a gym that you are happy going to and getting great benefit from. I have wasted thousands of dollars on equipment that I've purchased and never used over the years – now I would never make those purchases again, being older and smarter. However, I do think the $80 per month for yoga studio membership is worth it, because I enjoy the social aspect of going to the studio and practicing with others, and I'm more inclined to do it on a regular basis than if I were just trying to do it alone at home.
Other things I spend more on are good food, underwear and shoes that fit well, and a good quality handbag. The rest I go frugal on – I totally agree that you want to spend $$ on things that have value to you and cut back hard on those things that matter less.
I concur with your idea of spending money on something like a gym membership if it works for you because the result = good health and will more than pay for itself over the years. When I have extra money I try to think of things to buy things that will save money and eventually pay for themselves and then some. A few examples, a gas stove compared to an electric stove (electricity where I live is 32 cents a kilowatt hour), a push reel lawn mower, it uses no gas and gives me a workout, a bike for commuting to work, a percolator coffee maker that goes on my gas stove rather than using an electric coffee maker, and a thermos to keep the coffee hot. And sometime down the road a solar water heater and eventually photovoltaic solar panels.
Good post J.D. – this is something my wife and I have been thinking about a lot lately. We just dropped TV from our cable bill (still have internet) because we decided it wasn't worth $40/month for us. Conversely, we've recently switched to buying organic milk because we believe it's worth the cost. We're trying hard to make sure our spending (and saving) matches our priorities.
Reading the comments above, I think anyone who says, "you definitely shouldn't do X because it's not worth the cost" needs to take a step back. It may not be worth it for THAT person, but it's obviously worth it for some people. A gym or club membership may not be worth it for some (even most?) people – but it is for others. Another commenter mentioned a bread machine as being "not worth it" – but my family finds it very much worth it. We previously didn't make our own bread – now we do, and we're saving money by doing so. If someone else can do this without the machine that's great – but it wasn't working for us. I think that's the bottom line here – do what works for you, and get rid of what doesn't. All within your budget, of course!
I definitely agree with you. I just want to stress, however, that extra spending on anything that's a non-necessity should be reserved for those who are out of debt, who have their other financial goals in line, and who are spending truly "extra" money. People who are prone to debt are excellent at justifying spending money they don't have — I can hear people now going into more debt because they "need" a gym membership, because "it will cost less in the long-run," because "health is important," or a dozen other justifications. If it's debt, don't spend the money. Go for a free run outside and buy affordable, healthy food. If your financial house is in order, go ahead and spend on whatever you decide your priorities are. I struggle with fitness and have extra funds to spend, so I'd gladly spend on nearly anything that actually got me to exercise more!
I do this! I need to stop.
My thought? Make sure there is a good return policy. If I don't use it within 24 hours – 1 week of buying it, I DIDN'T NEED IT. Go take it back now.
Reason this is such an issue for me? I'm a compulsive (and perhaps obsessive) shopper. Techniques like putting my credit cards in blocks of ice don't work, because I obsess over getting an item for weeks to months at a time. I will research it to death. Worry. Lose sleep. I will find the PERFECT pair of running shoes… buy them, and never run.
That's me. Am I insane? Probably. But I'm working on it.
I chose to get doggy day care for my pooch. I only take her twice a week, but making sure that she gets to play and socialize while I am at work is important to me. I meet all my other financial goals and then some. I feel more like it is a treat for me that I can provide this to her!
People are being way too nice about this $200/month thing. You got ripped (off, not 4% bodyfat "ripped"). I don't know details about that exact gym, but I feel like the salesperson had a little fun with the numbers.
Out of the 8 gyms I've been a part of, only 2 had a rigid pricing system. At the others, the salesperson would either (1) verbally tell me the rate & fees with no price chart, (2) show me a price chart but write the "new" prices on a post-it, or (3) stick to the chart's monthly rate and waive fees. For example, my current gym has a $14.95/mo. rate, but a $199 start-up fee and $75 security fee (cameras, HDDs, etc.). The fees were waived for me, so are they even necessary? Well, the give the salesperson flexibility. Start with all fees, see if the customer bites. If they don't, slash them X% and keep emphasizing the great deal they're getting. This happens a lot, and may have happened to you.
Anywho, you've found something that works. Congrats. (Seriously.) Now, you need to use that cabeza to cut costs. Think about ***WHY*** your Crossfit gym is working for you, then see if you can replicate that in another gym or even in your own home. For me, it's all about the equipment. Dumbbells, benches, cardio machines, etc.
However! You only sustain a workout (and/or diet) regimen when your heart is really in it! You may have really wanted to get in shape at time A, B, and C, but, in those breaks, you didn't want it as badly. Thus, overall, you didn't want it "badly enough."
Try watching at least the last 5 minutes of each episode of The Biggest Loser, as well as the finales. These times are dedicated to showing how those who were kicked off achieved success at home. They took the drive and the methods from one location (that worked really well), and applied them at another location.
Even the gym you joined is conceptually similar: a model was successful for one business, so they replicated it at their own. And for the founder: this workout regime works, lets put it into effect at .
I have so many debts and, at the age of 45, am just starting to create multiple streams of income in order to pay for them and get myself financially independent.I've learned to ask myself if what I want to buy is a tool that can be used to create more income, and can it be used in more than one of my streams. For example, I use my new computer for my blog, http://www.makingmyownwork.blogspot.com, for writing magazine articles and book ideas, comedy routines, using email to keep up with my network, and create posters and brochures for my massage therapy business.
I own a $150 massage chair and a $300 massage table, both of which can only be used for one thing, but I use the income from doing massages at fairs and such to finance the other streams, so in my case, these were good purchases.
Guitars… the only thing i can really play is a record player.
I absolutely do agree with your post. I also want to spend on things that I actually use. like i would prefer to buy a $100 blouse that I would use often than to buy a $10 blouse that I would use just once.
Cutting down on the things you don't actually need so to have more money to spend on things that you actually need. makes sense? lol
@11 I disagree. Each person has different motivations. If this works for JD so be it.
It's about getting good value for me (echoing Kirk @ #20). On a recent trip to Albuquerque, I purchased a $200 hat (new) and a 10 cent shirt (used). Both were great values.
Frugality for me is getting the most value out of the money I spend. It's not how much something costs, it's what I get out of it that's important.
This goes back to eliminating unnecessary spending. Searching around every Saturday at garage sales for great deals on sutff you never need of simply wasting your money.
People are more enamored with a great deal on something rather than answering the simple question–do I really need this?
I signed up at a gym in June, at a cost of $20 a month. It is a great deal, I know, but I hate to spend money I don't have to and have worked out for free for years-walking, running, workout tv shows and the like. I made a deal with myself-I feel comfortable with paying $5 or less for an exercise class. I must go to the gym 4x a month in order to justify the cost. It's worked like a charm and I now couldn't live without spinnning and the very high end treadmills they have!
to #11 (John),
Sounds to me like you've never tried CrossFit. You really should, and it's normally free for an intro session. It is not a "health club." By paying that price, you get constant direction, variety, detailed supervision/instruction, and a great community (all of which is not part of the package at a traditional gym). Next time you go to the gym, tell me how many people you even talk to.
I've been a lot more mindful about my spending since my divorce about three years ago and actually enjoy it. My house doesn't get cluttered with stuff and I actually use most of the items I buy.
A few years ago a friend of mine shared his simple rule for not accumulating too much stuff – for everything you bring into the house, you must remove items of at least the same physical size and removing more always helps. I think about this every time I buy something and it's been working really well for me.
I've got a computer monitor I'm not using, an acoustic guitar, an amp, and books. The list goes on but you get the idea. I've listed the stuff on Craigslist so hopefully most of it will sell!
You're a genius!
The best cheap things are free.

Houston, TX -- (ReleaseWire) -- 01/28/2013 -- HerSolution has been helping women regulate the hormonal, nutritional, and stress-induced imbalances in their bodies to restore decreased libido and enhance their sexual health. As a natural libido supplement, it has been recommended by doctors for its precise formulation that optimizes all facetsof the female reproductive system.
Owner of The Med Writers Dr. Karen Vieira, who holdsa PhD in Biomedical Sciences and MS in Management, cited the lack of libido among women as often due to physiological than psychological factors and noted the combination of herbs and nutritional support ingredients contained in HerSolution to address this problem.
With careers, family, and housework, their busy lives can affect women's sex dive. In addition,hormonal changes related to post-pregnancy, monthly menstruation, menopause, poor diet, lack of exercise, stress, and exposure to synthetic estrogens also impact women's libido.
"HerSolution has been proven safe at the recommended dosage and has no significant side effects. Sexual health plays a large part in quality of life for women of all ages. Rather than accept the decline in libido and sexual ability caused by aging and other health factors, I recommend that women choose to improve and restore their libido, well-being, and relationships with HerSolution," related Dr. Vieira.
It contains niacin that increases blood flow to the genital area and improves overall blood circulation, aids in the synthesis of sex hormones estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, and intensifies tactile sensations.
Its contents also include hops extract that improves estrogen production and helps relieve vaginal dryness by increasing the body's natural lubrication. It has the aphrodisiac mucuna pruriens which optimizes production of dopamine, a brain chemical that significantly impacts sexual pleasure and functioning.
Other ingredients include ginkgo biloba that improves sexual function through increased blood flow and helps women experiencing menopause or reduced sex drive, the aphrodisiac epimedium sagitattum that naturally increases sexual desire, and cayenne that increases blood flow to major organs, promotes the health of sexual organs and tissues, intensifies orgasms, and increases vaginal lubrication.
Likewise, exercise and nutrition expert Dr. Anna Lepeley, who holds a PhD in Exercise Biochemistry and Master in Exercise Physiology, has been analyzing research and scientific literature of nutraceutical and dietary supplements on how these influence sexual arousal.
After researching HerSolution, she concluded, "You will find a daily supplement scientifically formulated to promote the restoration of diminishing libido and help to increase your ability to achieve orgasm by naturally correcting any hormonal imbalances using 100% natural ingredients."
HerSolution causes dilation of blood vessels and more frequent muscle contractions to intensify sensations, increase vaginal lubrication, hasten the body's arousal, and attain climax. It increases sex drive and enhances sexual response by toning and oxygenating the reproductive system.

The latest OS updated for the iOS devices is now out and available for download. There is a couple of things that iOS 6 has going for it, but on the other hand it also has annoyances too.
Redesigned App Store
Although the App Store is not a place that most people go to on a regular basis it is still nice that Apple redesigned it to make it more visually appealing and cleaner. With this update to the App Store we might actually see other parts of the OS get updates like the Home Screen and other Apple apps.
Apple adding the Clock app to the iPad
With this app now on the iPad you can not use you only your iPhone as an alarm, you can use it on whatever iOS devices you want to. Although Apple put this app on the iPad they did not use the same icon so this could lead to some confusion about what exactly it is for the people that are not good with technology.
Facebook Integration
From iOS 5 update we got Twitter integration which allowed you to easily tweet from your iOS devices, and now with Facebook integration you have two of the most popular Social Networks that you can share too.
iCloud Tabs
This feature has been a long awaited feature of iOS 6. Since now you can see what websites you are viewing on all your iOS devices.
Lack of any customization options
Many people were hoping that iOS 6 would get customization options in the setting without jailbreaking, but we did not even get any added options. Apple does not have to give us all of them but a option to change the app icons like on the Mac would be nice.
You still cant delete Newsstand
The lack of the ability to delete Newsstand from your iOS device like the iBookstore is still annoying since you cant even put it into a folder to hide it from all your other apps.

Airport project scheduled for summerBy Gordon Dritschilo
Staff Writer | February 07,2013Work around the runway at the Rutland airport is slated for the summer.
The proposed FY 2014 budget includes $5,360,000 for the expansion of the runway safety area and associated relocation of Airport Road. The project will provide more flat terrain surrounding the runway.
"If a plane lands long — or short — this level turf provides a safe area for the plane to come to a rest with minimal structure damage," said Jason Owen, project manager for the Vermont Agency of Transportation.
The change brings the airport closer to FAA design standards, Owen said, and should help upgrade the airport's safety rating from "fair" to "excellent."
"In a perfect world, in airports like Rutland, they would like 1,000 feet," he said. "That's not practical, but we're going to double what's there. Right now, it's about 300 feet and we're going to make it 600 feet."

A former Greencastle assistant athletic director who resigned in April was in court and charged with five felony counts.
24 year old Zachary Remsburg of Greencastle is currently out of jail after posing $15,000 bond.
Remsburg is accused of sexual misconduct and other charges for events with two girls that were 14 and 15 years old.
Reports are that school officials have stated they have had to talk to Remsburg about his behavior toward students on other occasions.

At the end of the very last episode, Walter picks up Todd's phone and answers Lydia's call. He tells her that he poisoned her with ricin.
Why did he do that? Knowing that she'd been poisoned, Lydia could get medical help and survive the poisoning.
At the end of the very last episode, Walter picks up Todd's phone and answers Lydia's call. He tells her that he poisoned her with ricin.
Why did he do that? Knowing that she'd been poisoned, Lydia could get medical help and survive the poisoning.
Ricin is extremely toxic. It has an LD50 (the lethal dose for 50% of people exposed) of 30–40mg per kilogram when ingested (its much much more dangerous when introduced to the body in other ways). Guessing Lydia's weight at around 50kg (110 lbs) would lead one to think the LD50 would be no more than 2g of ricin.
It has a military-developed antidote, which has had only limited trials in humans. Ricin is a chemical subject to the Chemical Weapons Convention, in the same schedule as nerve agents Sarin and VX. (All this information gleaned from Wikipedia)
Walt also only told her when she'd already begun to experience symptoms, so less likely to recover even if treated. Even if she sought attention and gave them this information it seems unlikely that she would recover. Even if she's not been given a lethal dose, survivors of ricin often suffer from long term organ damage, so she would have a pretty miserable and presumably shortened life even if she does survive.
I think Walt probably weighed her slim improved chances of survival, against the pleasure of knowing that she was aware who had done this to her.
I considered an answer like @Keen's too — perhaps she would not go to a hospital in fear of the attention, but I think this is less likely, even the risk averse would put fear of death above prison.
Ricin poisoning, particularly in a dosage designed to be fatal, is almost always fatal. Look what happened to Brock, and that was a controlled dose of Lily of the Valley: Significantly less potent.
Walt waited long enough for the Ricin to gestate inside Lydia (which wouldn't have taken long at all); Walt is nothing if not meticulous about 'the little details'.
He told her because he wanted her to know she was going to die, and that she was killed by his hand.
Perfect revenge, all Lydia could do was spend the last moments of her life smothered by the fear of inevitability.
She could not get medical help, and this is why Walt told her. By telling her that he poisoned her with ricin, this meant she would not be willing to seek medical attention, since this would attract police attention (see what happened with Jesse told doctors that Brock was poisoned with ricin). She's extremely risk-averse and would never want to attract the attention of the police. Ergo, by telling her that it's ricin, Walt knows that this dooms her to die without getting the medical help that would save her from dying, but doom her to prison.

After a week when I've been feeling kind of cranky about pop culture, it was nifty to hear that it turns out that the role of Spock seems to have been written as gender-neutral — and that Nichelle Nichols, who was eventually cast as Uhura, read for the role. I'm not sure why this isn't default practice more often. There are a lot of characters in a lot of projects that don't inherently need to be male or female, and that very much includes action heroes in an era of high-powered weaponry. You don't need to be able to overpower someone with six inches and 50 pounds on you as long as you have enough ammunition. Maybe that's more of a comment on the generalized lack of specificity in entertainment writing more generally. But it does mean there are opportunities to be taken advantage of. If you're writing a show where the characters' backstory can be filled in over time, it doesn't have to be a weakness. And while writing parts to be race or gender-neutral may mean some more work for casting directors, it doesn't seem like it should be overwhelmingly onerous burden, given the potential creative benefits.

How Do You Clean Your Kitchen Floor?
The Fall 2009 Kitchen Cure
This week's Cure assignment includes a good bout of deep cleaning, and boy, nowhere needs it so much as our kitchen floor. We are pretty animated in the kitchen, and it seems like there's always something landing on the floor. We do our best to keep it clean(ish) as we go, but it still almost always needs a good mopping.
We're curious how you clean your kitchen floor. Do you sweep or vacuum? Do you use a mop? Or do you get down on your hands and knees with a sponge? And what kind of kitchen floor do you have? Cleaning methods will vary for different sorts of floors. Do you have any especially good tips for removing stuck-on food, old crumbs, and grease?
We've discussed this topic before, but it's always worth revisiting. A kitchen floor sort of disappears into the background, but then when it's really clean and gleaming it subtly elevates the look (and feel!) of the whole kitchen.
We're big fans of warm water, vinegar, and a heavy duty sponge — although we also use an old sponge and squirts of natural cleaner for small spot cleaning throughout the week.
We love a clean kitchen floor. How do you clean yours?

My pugs lick it clean. ;)
ours is white (!) tile and it gets so grimy. I think that this point we need to get down on our hands and knees and scrub it with a brush. There are spots that the mop won't get off anymore. :(
we've got hardwood floors in the kitchen (cherry!), so i use the bona wood floor cleaner system like i do in the rest of the apartment. works like a charm!
We will have hardwoods once the floors are finished. Our restorer says water and vinegar. I will likely sweep it up after dishes ever night, damp mop if I've been particularly messy, and that should keep it pretty tidy. Ideally, I'll get down on my hands and knees weekly to every other week and scrub the grunge with more vinegar and water.
My current house has 8x8-off white tile, and I hate it with a burning passion. It is impossible to keep clean, especially since I cook a lot and we have two cats and two kids. I sweep, I mop, it always looks dirty! I miss my old hardwood floors, it hid more sins.
I can't wait to replace it and I want to get cork, but it happens to be in the foyer, the kitchen, the breakfast room, the back hall, the laundry room AND the powder room, so it's a pretty expensive wish.
When I do mop, I always use the vinegar and water. I buy vinegar by the gallon, literally, it's so good for so many things!
We're in a fairly small apartment, so we sweep, then use a sponge on hands/knees.
We have horrible cream-colored vinyl with a sort of light brown pattern on it. I try and sweep regularly and mop with a sponge mop and Pine-Sol when it gets funky. I'd get something nice and organic to mop with but the giant bottle of Pine-Sol predates me living here and I want to use it up!
That said, have you guys ever done a mop roundup? I don't want a Swiffer but I'd like something where the head is easy to replace when it gets grotty. I think mine has actually been discontinued so there is no way I can get a new sponge head for it.
Tip: I save the little flat plastic things that keep bread wrappers closed. These are good for scraping stubborn gunk from the floor. (I may have gotten this tip from AT, who knows).
I vacuum it to get up loose stuff & dog hair, then sometimes mop but more often get onto hands and knees and wipe section by section. Ugh.
I have hear that cork is hard to keep clean? Anyone know, one way or other? I am sure Peggasus would like to know too.
For a swiffer-stand-in: they make dust mop type things. long handle with a wide flat head that you put a terry-cloth cover on. you can take the cover off and toss it in the wash, or just replace when it gets nasty. i spray murphy's wood soap on mine to do the hardwoods.
if you're a hands-and-knees scrubber, take a tip from restaurants. get the scrub brush that will screw onto a broom handle, save your back!
I loathe our kitchen floor. We live in a rental apartment that was very dirty when we moved in. We scrubbed everything, but the floor still doesn't look clean. I even got down with a Dobie and ammonia/water, but it still looks grimy. It's off-white tile with chips and stuff, ugghh! We sweep and use a steam mop with water or water and vinegar.
My husband and I are pretty much on a schedule. We have bamboo floors in the kitchen and we vaccuum, then use the bona system every 2 weeks. We don't cook a whole lot.
We use the handy dandy hand vaccuum when my husband drops cookie crumbs all over the floor. If we make a mess on a off week, we just bona. We have a small galley kitchen, so bona takes literally 2 minutes...
I recently bought a Shark Steam mop and love it. I have hardwood floors in the kitchen, so I usually vacuum first then use the mop to clean up. Works beautifully.
I was raised to believe that the only way to really get a floor clean is to get down on your hands and knees and scrub. My husband believes mopping does the job just fine.
That being said, we generally sweep and then mop (even if I do think it's just pushing dirty water around). And if my parents are coming for a visit I get down and scrub.
Ugh, we also have off-white tiles but worse, they're textured stone! I'd have to scrub this stuff on my hands and knees every day to keep it consistently clean. Needless to say, it goes without.
I have a Sh-Mop. This is like a Swiffer except it uses washable covers made of terrycloth. I love it. I can use any kind of cleaner I want, and the cloths clean up very easily in the washer. (It's not as useful if you have to use the laundromat.) You can order them online, and I've seen knockoffs at Home Depot (but I like the originals). They were originally designed by the Clean Team.
If you have an old vinyl floor, it is worth the time and effort to strip it and apply an acrylic floor wax (like Future). It fills in all the little cracks and gaps that collect dirt. It made a huge difference for me - my floor went from dirty all the time to easy to clean. The worst part is that you have to strip off all the old gunk with ammonia first, but it lasts about a year.
I do it with a ringable sponge mop, on spray bottle of diluted cleaning solution, and another spay bottle of water.
A former roommate loved the spraying swiffer, but it drove me crazy. When you spray soap on the floor without rinsing it off, it just becomes glue and traps all sorts of junk to the floor.
I am a firm believer that if you sweep often, you only need to mop once a month.
I have the generic off-white tiles that seem to be ubiquitous in starter homes. I vacuum and then mop them with floor cleaner. I'll get down and scrub with a sponge if there's something sticky on the floor; however, I'm usually pretty good at not getting foods other than coffee on the floor.
I used to get down on my hands and knees every weekend when I cleaned. But then I discovered that boiling water and just a touch of dish washing liquid does an amazing job. Or add a bit of bleach when things are really bad. I was so thrilled with the results that I even blogged about my discovery! Sad but true.
My shark steam mop is the best solution I've found. Plain tap water, no chemicals. Made many other stops before arriving here, but I love my steam mop.
Renting - scratched, stained lino floors so it doesn't really matter what it looks like but I hate the feel of crunchy stuff underfoot so it gets swept reasonably often (weekly at the longest).
Mopping gets done by the cleaner. I'm currently using up some cleaner fluid that I didn't realise I had so bought more! Will try the vinegar idea when it runs out.
I thought the off-white tiles were meant to be more forgiving in showing dirt? As in, "oh, they're always that colour - they aren't a true white."
Cork is easy to clean and things bounce too so you get less breakages. But they do need to be sealed and the seal slowly wears away with mopping, sweeping etc. My parents-in-law redo their seal about every 5 years I think.

San Francisco, California
Society of Jungian Analysts of Northern California, San Francisco
Since the fall of the Berlin wall and the collapse of the binary world view of conflicting global superpowers that it symbolized, an endless parade of ethnic, racial, religious, gender, national and regional factions have emerged on the world stage with their long simmering feuds bubbling over. Everywhere, disadvantaged groups have been crying out for justice, healing or vengeance – or all three simultaneously. Peoples from every continent have been caught in a newly energized round of conflicts that run the gamut from local and tribal skirmishes to international hatreds. As these group conflicts flood relationships with highly charged emotions at every level of human exchange we seek explanations and remedies.
The concept of the cultural complex offers a new perspective on the psychological nature of conflicts between groups which is modeled on Jung's theory of complexes. Our modern version of Jung's original idea makes no special claim to having the answer to what causes – or might heal – group conflict, but it offers a point of view that may be useful to some as they ponder the forces that invariably seem to thwart human attempts to bring a collaborative spirit to the unending strife between groups of people.
Cultural complexes are every bit as real, every bit as formative, every bit as ubiquitous, and every bit as powerful in their emotional and behavioral impact on individuals and groups as are personal complexes. Indeed, cultural complexes may present the most difficult and resistant psychological challenge we face.
In the Jungian tradition, complex theory has been a cornerstone for understanding individuals. But, when it has come to analyzing broader collective experience, analytical psychologists have relied on the theory of archetypes. Archetypal possession of the collecctive psyche is an all too real and dangerous psychic phenomena, but there are a host of potent group phenomena that may be more fruitfully and accurately explored by thinking in terms of cultural complexes. This may also help avoid our tendency to reductionism that archetypal interpretations of group phenomena frequently suggest.
Jung himself was suspicious of group life and the danger of archetypal possession. He bore witness to the terrible side of collectivity through much of the twentieth century. As a result, the vitality of collective life has often fallen into the Jungian shadow. Our psychology has tended to collapse the experience of life in the group between the more "meaningful" archetypal and individual poles. The notion of a "cultural complex" may lead to an enhanced capacity to see the shadow of the group in its cultural complexes more objectively, rather than the Jungian tendency to see the group itself as the shadow. A Jungian psychology of group complexes as distinct from and yet interrelated with personal complexes has not been elaborated.
Personal complexes and cultural complexes are not the same, although they get all mixed up with one another. We suggest that personal and cultural complexes share the following characteristics:
Cultural complexes can be thought of as the fundamental building blocks of an inner sociology. But this inner sociology is not objective or scientific in its description of different groups. Rather, it is a description of groups as filtered through the psyches of generations of ancestors. It contains an abundance of information and misinformation about the structures of societies – a truly, inner sociology – and its essential components are cultural complexes.
"Cultural complexes" are not the same as either "cultural identity" and/or "national character," although there are times when cultural complexes, cultural identity and national character can seem impossibly intertwined. Groups struggling out of long periods of oppression must define new identities for themselves which are often based on long submerged traditions. The struggle to form a new group identity can get mixed up with underlying cultural complexes which lie slumbering in the cultural unconscious, waiting to be awakened by the trigger of new trauma. For some people struggling for freedom for oppression, their complexes – cultural and personal – are their identity. But, for many others, there is a healthy cultural identity (or "cultural ego") that can be seen as separate from the more negative aspects of cultural complexes. Jung was getting at the idea of a cultural identity in his discussion of national character, but that notion took an ugly turn when the discussion of national character got confused with anti-Semitism.
Another way to make the distinction between cultural complex and cultural identity and/or national character is to use the idea of the "bipolar complex" that John Perry introduced in his seminal paper on complexes (Perry 1970: 1-12). Perry spoke of the everyday ego as being different from the ego which has been taken over by a complex. When a complex is activated in the unconscious (for instance, rebellious son and authoritarian father), one half of its bipolar content with its potent affect and one sided perceptions of the world takes hold of the everyday ego and creates what Perry called "the affect-ego." The other part of the bipolar pair is projected out onto the person with whom one is caught in the complex and they, in turn, become what Perry labeled an "affect-object." Ragged and highly charged interactions between an "affect-ego" and an "affect-object" are the result. This notion of "affect-ego" and "affect-object" can be carried over into our discussion of cultural complexes to help make the distinction between cultural identity and cultural complex clearer. An individual or group with a unique cultural identity that is not in the grips of a cultural complex is much freer to interact in the world without being prey to the highly charged emotional contents that alter perception and behavior. Once the cultural complex is activated in an individual or a group, however, the everyday cultural identity can be overtaken by the affect of the cultural complex and one is in the territory of "affect-ego" and "affect-object" – but at the level of the cultural complex rather than personal complex.
The calling card of a cultural complex is its emotional reactivity. Consider the response to such trigger words as "George Bush" or "Osama bin Laden" or "war on terror" or "holy jihad" or "colonial empire." Everybody reacts to these trigger words – and at least some of these strong reactions belong to "cultural complexes".
Cultural complexes enshrine and encrust themselves in the consciousness and unconscious of groups of people.
The intertwining and affect laden energies of conflicting unconscious cultural complexes can form the pre-conditions for human events to unfold with a fury that can be likened to the natural forces portrayed in "The Perfect Storm" – when all of the climatic conditions off the eastern seaboard of the United States were uniquely positioned to come together and cause a storm of huge proportions. It is no stretch of the geopolitical, psychological and spiritual imagination to say that we are living in a time when a rare configuration of swirling cultural complexes have been aligning in just the right combination to unleash massive destructive forces.
In thinking about Islam and the West for the Barcelona Congress, the date of 1492 sprang to mind. This is not just a historical date. It is an embodiment in space and time of profound symbolic shifts in the collective psyche that have taken shape in the form of cultural complexes. The year 1492 marks the expulsion of the Moors and the Jews from Spain and the end of Islamic power in this part of Europe; it also also marks the discovery of America by Spanish ships under Christopher Columbus (although this date does not stand out as a landmark of either discovery or celebration in the cultural consciousness or cultural complexes of contemporary American Indians).
This watershed date marks both the beginning of the predominance of the West and the beginning of the decline of Islam – a parallel and contrary movement which has been going on for at least the past 500 years and the swirling affects and effects of which threaten to engulf us today. The bipolarity of this movement is compelling and characteristic of how groups get caught in cultural complexes. Beginning in the 630s, Islam's rise was lightning quick and triumphant. But, by 1492 that movement began to reverse itself and the Islamic world began to shrink, a process that has continued until the present. Now, some five hundred years later, the tide may be shifting once again. I am not equating the origin of cultural complexes with the geographical expansion and contraction of civilizations, but one can see 1492 as being a critical date in the rise of the West and the decline of Islam. This coincident interlocking of date and place helped shape the conditions for the genesis of potent cultural complexes.
To say that the rise of the West is at the core of one cultural complex and that Islam is at the core of another is, of course, a gross oversimplification. There are multiple local and regional complexes that get caught up in these mega-cultural complexes. In the West, for instance, old French, German, English, Spanish and American rivalries and hatreds have been stirred up, just as in the Islamic world, Sunni, Shiite, Kurdish and other tribal feuds have been activated. All of these cultural complexes – Western and Islamic –have been thrown together to form the conditions for a global "perfect storm" of colliding cultural complexes.
We can begin to sketch in the broadest of strokes some of the characteristics of these cultural complexes:
These first four characteristics of the cultural complex of Islamic fundamentalism are mirrored in their bipolar opposite, i.e. the cultural complex of Christian fundamentalism in the United States. The next two features are more unique to the cultural complex of Islamic fundamentalism:
If we mix these ingredients together, we have a horrific recipe for a witches brew of cultural complexes that has mobilized huge energies in the life of nations. These aroused cultural complexes activate what I have described elsewhere as the "archetypal defenses of the group spirit."
When a group has been attacked at the core of its being and values – as the United States was on 9/11/2001 – or when a group has been corroded at the core of its being and values – as Islam has been for the past 500 years – archetypal defenses of the group spirit are mobilized to protect the vulnerable and injured group spirit, much in the same way that Donald Kalsched has postulated happens to the personal spirit of the traumatized individual. These daemonic defenses are ferocious and inhuman. They often direct their primitive aggression back onto the wounded spirit of the group as evidenced in the self-mockery and self-denigration entrenched in the humor and self-perception of many oppressed groups. Just as often, these same archetypal defenses of the group spirit turn their savage aggression out onto whomever appears to be a threat to the spirit, basic value, or identity of the group. Individuals who become the human embodiments of the "archetypal defenses of the group spirit" torture people in prison; they behead people; they blow themselves and others up without regard for their own personal being or those who happen to be in their path. As defensive agents of a wounded group spirit, they are not constrained by normal human values or concerns. They are truly impersonal representatives of the group and its wounded spirit.
Bin Laden and the al-Qaeda are the avenging angels of the long traumatized spirit of the Muslim world. Their possession by a cultural complex automatically triggers its bipolar, reciprocal opposite in their Western counterparts – creating a nightmarish merry-go-round. It is no accident that George Bush made a slip of the cultural unconscious when he first referred to a "crusade" as the American response to the World Trade Center and Pentagon bombings. Bush's slip was reflexive and automatic, backed up by a centuries-old memory. A crusade is the West's cultural complex answer to a holy jihad or vice versa.
For many in the West, the Islamic terrorists have become the Daimones – what Bush calls "the evil-doers" who are seen as linked together in a global "axis of evil" that includes Iraq, Iran, and North Korea. For most of the Muslim world and many in the Western world as well, George Bush is the arch Daimone. It is precisely at this intersection – where the Daimones of the spirit of one group's cultural complex trigger the Daimones of another group's cultural complex – that I think we can locate a real "axis of evil" – be it the daimonic forces of Sharon aligned against the daimonic forces of Arafat, or the daimonic forces of Bush aligned against the daimonic forces of Osama bin Laden. These negative alignments form a true axis in the sense that a direct line is drawn between the Daimones of one group, protecting their sacred center, and the Daimones of a rival group, protecting their sacred center. Out of such negative alignments springs an "axis of evil" that is founded on the archetypal defense patterns of interlocking cultural complexes – for instance, of fundamental Islamism, of fundamental Christianity, and of fundamental Judaism.
Christians, Jews, and Moslems have been at it for 1200-2000 years. Blacks and whites in America have been at it for over 300 years. Freudians and Jungians have been at it for almost one hundred years. What makes the complexes that drive these conflicts so potent is that they take on a life of their own, not only in the group's response to attacks on its collective spirit, but also in the way that these complexes seem to take up permanent residence at the cultural level of the psyche in the individual members of their respective groups.

There is nothing like a first-weekend-in-May sweep of the Red Sox to shake off the April depression of Orioles fans. Golly, that felt good!
The sun is shining and there is hope and opportunity in the world.
Let's tear down the statue of Babe Ruth—what has he done for us lately?—and put up Ty Wigginton instead! All Ty has done is play every infield position except shortstop, played pretty much full-time since April 10 and he is hitting a ton, leading the team in average, on-base percentage and slugging. (I am not counting Felix Pie here, because he is laid up with a back injury, and we might not see him till July or later.)
Miguel Tejada is coming on too. I can't say he's the Miggy we knew and loved five years ago, but he's playing and adjusting well at third base. It's just that we might have to put him on a Segway to run the bases by the end of the season—his right leg looks very painful.
Brian Matusz, the rookie on the starting staff, leads the team in wins—in fact he is the only starter besides Brad Bergesen, he of the 10.57 ERA, to boast any wins at all. Kevin Millwood and Jeremy Guthrie, who have pitched very well, are winless.
All this is by way of saying: It's going to get better. It has to. If things keep going as they have, the Orioles will finish 43-119. That is just unthinkable. It can't happen. That is 1962 Mets territory, and we can't go there.
So while we dream of better days with a complete lineup including Brian Roberts and Felix Pie—that could happen in July, perhaps—and a bullpen that is not quite as awful as it has been so far, join us in our new Bird House and share your thoughts and impressions of the 2010 Baltimore Orioles.
We asked a question last week—"Based on the Orioles' recent performances, where do you think they'll place in the American League East this year?" and reader Andy Mindzak, an expert on all things statistical and a real, optimistic, tomorrow's-another-day fan, answered.
"Oddly enough, their issues this year revolve around their offense. Usually were used to hearing about their horrendous pitching staff, but with Kevin Millwood being pretty decent and Brian Matusz pitching very well, the onus falls on their offense," he wrote. "Currently they are hitting .241 as a team (24th in the league) and are next to last in scoring with a God-awful 70 runs so far this year (that's 3.18 runs per game if you're counting at home).
"If you want to get technical (you don't really have a choice, because I'm going there) they are hitting a pathetic .193 with runners in scoring position which is dead last in all of baseball. I think once Brian Roberts comes back (hopefully sooner than later, although he seems to be having some setbacks with his stomach) he can spark that offense. Adam Jones isn't helping matters much with his .204 average, and when Ty Wigginton is your team leader in average, you know something isn't right. Nick Markakis seems to be turning his early season slump around, so hopefully that will spread throughout the team. Let's keep our fingers crossed!!!!!"
Fun question of the week: Since the Orioles swept Red Sox Nation last weekend, have we proved once and for all that steamed crabs are better than boiled lobstah?

Baseball legend Ted Williams once said "Baseball is the only field of endeavor where a man can succeed three times out of ten and be considered a good performer."
Given that time-tested baseball logic, LBJ's Zach Johnson is great.
The Jaguars' third baseman has actually succeeded more than he's failed this season by hitting a jaw-dropping .543. The senior led all Central Texas players in hitting, and was the only one to finish in the rare .500 club.
"I've been around some good baseball," said LBJ baseball coach Ruben Covarrubias. "This is my 15th year teaching. I've seen some good ones, trust me, and this is…this is remarkable"!
Johnson says the ball is looking even bigger than the proverbial grapefruit hot hitters usually talk about.
"Yeah it looks like a soccer ball!" said Johnson. "It looks a little bit bigger. It doesn't matter what people are throwing me right now - off speed - everything looks good"!
While a .543 batting average is impressive, Johnson also likes talking about the number 26. That's the number of years LBJ went without a district title before last season - Zach's junior year.
"It's an awesome feeling being a part of this," said Johnson. "You know, I came in - we weren't too great - but it definitely was the first generation of kids that turned this program around".
Johnson will root on next year's Jags from Millsaps College in Jacksonville, Mississippi. The A-student at LBJ's magnet school (Liberal Arts and Science Academy of Austin) plans on starting as a freshman, while pursuing a business degree.
"I'd love to see him down the road just to find out what kind of great he's doing," said Covarrubias. "He's going to be doing something good somewhere."

"Dear Internet" by Tina Fey
From PerezHilton.com/Posted by jerkstore on Wednesday, 1/21/2009, 11:21 P.M.
"In my opinion Tina Fey completely ruined SNL. The only reason she's celebrated is because she's a woman and an outspoken liberal. She has not a single funny bone in her body."
"Dear jerkstore,
Huzzah for the Truth Teller! Women in this country have been over-celebrated for too long. Just last night there was a story on my local news about a "missing girl," and they must have dedicated seven or eight minutes to "where she was last seen" and "how she might have been abducted by a close family friend," and I thought, "What is this, the News for Chicks?" Then there was some story about Hillary Clinton flying to some country because she's secretary of state. Why do we keep talking about these dumdums? We are a society that constantly celebrates no one but women and it must stop! I want to hear what the men of the world have been up to. What fun new guns have they invented? What are they raping these days? What's Michael Bay's next film going to be?
When I first set out to ruin SNL, I didn't think anyone would notice, but I persevered because—like you trying to do a nine-piece jigsaw puzzle—it was a labor of love.
I'm not one to toot my own horn, but I feel safe with you, jerkstore, so I'll say it. Everything you ever hated on SNL was by me, and anything you ever liked was by someone else who did it against my will.
Tina Fey
P.S. You know who does have a funny bone in her body? Your mom every night for a dollar."

It was way back in 1948 that Holmes Thurmond designed and launched the first Skeeter boat. By no means was it the last "first" for Skeeter. In 1961, we built the first bass boat from fiberglass, a huge leap forward in performance and durability.
Then in 1975, Skeeter introduced the "Wrangler," the first V-bottom bass boat ever built. As time passed, Skeeter introduced a host of other innovations: the first full-length rod box, the first bass boat rated for a 150 HP, and the first to introduce "space age" composite materials with the X-Treme and X-Cel composite construction. From then on, cutting-edge technology and attention to detail have been the key ingredients of securing value for long-term owner satisfaction.

Message from the Titanic: Send More Polar Bears!
Last December we told you about the new Titanic Museum, a half-scale, three-deck replica of the doomed ocean liner, in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. Well, the museum has finally opened and in its first three weeks it ran out of souvenir polar bears in the gift shop!
I suppose if that's the worst fate to befall the nascent attraction, it's doing pretty well. In fact, the museum clocked 50,000 "passengers" in the first 21 days. And what is it everyone wants to see? "Guests are interested in the only Titanic lifejacket tied to an actual passenger (below)—it's the only one in the world," says Mary Kellogg-Joslyn, owner of the Titanic Museum. "The passenger's name was Madeleine Astor, married to the richest man aboard the ship. The value of this artifact is really priceless. It has been insured for a million dollars."

Are you a good candidate for hormone therapy? Click to fill out our PRIORITY RESPONSE form and find out!
LOW TESTOSTERONE | Testosterone Therapy
If Testosterone levels are low, Testosterone Replacement Therapy may help alleviate and reverse the symptoms of LOW T such as a loss of interest in sex (decreased libido), male sexual performance problems like ED - Erectile Dysfunction including the inability to have or maintain an erection; fatigue; depression; irritability; muscle loss; weight gain; insomnia; and loss of bone - osteoporosis. Low testosterone levels may be experienced by men with male hormonal imbalances. As testosterone levels decline, many men feel as though they're aging much faster than they really are. The best thing a man who suspects that he has an androgen deficiency (Low T Levels), should have a testosterone level test.
As with all hormone replacement therapy, testosterone replacement therapy requires a blood test and a comprehensive medical examination to determine if a man has low testosterone levels and is a qualified candidate for Low T Therapy. Learn more about Low Testosterone Levels.
LOW HGH (Human Growth Hormone) | HGH Therapy
If Human Growth Hormone levels are low, HGH Growth Hormone Therapy may alleviate and reverse the symptoms of LOW HGH such as loss of energy, endurance and stamina; weight gain in spite of exercise and diet; loss of sex drive and function; marked decrease in strength and power; loss of muscle tone and definition; problems with memory, focus and concentration; trouble sleeping and feeling very tired all the time; and a decline in drive, ambition and enthusiasm for life.
Explore Male Hormone Replacement Therapy
Many of the causes and symptoms of low t (low testosterone) and low growth hormone are similar and occur because as a man's hormones naturally decline, health issues arising from hormonal deficiency and imbalance arise and overlap.
That is why many men explore both testosterone and human growth hormone replacement therapies to treat male menopause or andropause. If you are considering male hormone (Androgen) replacement therapy like testosterone, talk to a doctor specializing in male hormone therapy to learn more about HGH Human Growth Hormone Injections, Testosterone Injections, Testosterone Creams, Patches, Pellets and Gels.
The doctor may also recommend certain nutritional and fitness guidelines that help boost testosterone levels, and evaluate other medications and supplements to help a man effectively deal with the symptoms of male menopause (Andropause).
Contact us at the Anti-Aging Medical Group for more information regarding Male Menopause, Androgen Deficiency (Low Testosterone), Testosterone Replacement Therapy and our full range of effective Male Hormone Treatments.
Fill in your information below to receive more information.
For a faster response call 800-325-1325 now and speak to an andropause hormone therapy specialist.

What is Andropause?
Have you heard of "Male Menopause"? By the time men are between the ages of 40 and 55, they can experience a phenomenon caused by a change in hormones similar to the female menopause, called Andropause. Unlike women, men do not have a clear-cut signpost such as the cessation of menstruation to mark this hormonal transition. Both, however, are distinguished by a drop in hormone levels. Estrogen in the female, testosterone in the male. As a man's testosterone level drops a hormone imbalance or androgen deficiency occurs. The bodily changes can occur very gradually in men and may be accompanied by changes in attitudes and moods, fatigue, a loss of energy, sex drive, sexual performance, erectile dysfunction, muscle strength and physical agility.
What's more, studies show that this decline in testosterone can actually put one at risk for other health problems like heart disease, Alzheimer's and weak bones. Since all this happens at a time of life when many men begin to question their values, accomplishments and direction in life, it's often difficult to realize that the changes occurring are related to more than just external conditions.
Symptoms of Andropause - the Male Menopause (Low Testosterone - How it all begins…)
Libido starts to drop, muscle mass decreases, weight increases, insomnia and tiredness boardering on fatigue occur more frequently, irritability and depression start to set in. Below are the principal symptoms of men's menopause.
A gradual hormonal decline
Unlike menopause, which generally occurs in women during their mid-forties to mid-fifties, men's hormonal "transition" or androgen decline may be much more gradual and expand over many decades. Attitude, psychological stress, alcohol, injuries or surgery, medications, obesity and infections can contribute to its onset.
Although with age, a decline in testosterone levels will occur in virtually all men, there is no way of predicting who will experience andropausal symptoms of sufficient severity to seek medical help. Neither is it predictable at what age symptoms will occur in a particular individual. Each man's symptoms due to low testosterone may be also different.
Is Adropause (Male Menopause) a new phenomenon?
Yes and no. In fact, andropause - now frequently called "male menopause", was first described in medical literature in the 1940's. So it's not really new. But, our ability to properly diagnose it and to treat low testosterone symptoms in men is. Sensitive tests for bioavailable testosterone weren't available until recently, so andropause has gone through a long period where it was under-diagnosed and under-treated by physicians. Now that men are living longer, there is heightened interest in andropause and the treatments available for male menopause - and this will help to advance our medical approach to this important life stage in men which was identified so long ago.
Increased diagnostic capability of male menopause
Another reason why andropause has been under-diagnosed over the years is that symptoms can be vague and can vary a lot among individuals. The gradual decline of testosterone levels in men also allow many men to overlook the symptoms of testosterone deficiency. Some men find it difficult to admit that there's even a problem. And often, physicians don't always think of low-testosterone levels as a possible culprit of adverse health issues. So in the past, these factors often led doctors to conclude that symptoms were related to other medical conditions (i.e. depression), poor diet, overwork, or were simply related to aging and often encouraged their patients to accept that "they were no longer spring chickens" and their symptoms were simply part of old age.
This situation is changing significantly. New blood testing methods that can detect precise hormone levels are available and there is an increased interest in mens' aging among medical researchers. So much attention is now being focused on andropause and on the causes and affects of androgen deficiency in men - that major efforts are underway to quickly share emerging scientific information with the international medical community. Age management medicine and anti-aging physicians are conducting bio-identical hormone medical studies and trilas and are working on a variety of progressive testosterone hormone medication delivery systems.
Causes of Low Testosterone Levels in Men
Starting at about age 30, testosterone levels drop by about 10 percent every decade. At the same time, another factor in the body called Sex Binding Hormone Globulin, or SHBG, is naturally increasing. SHBG traps much of the testosterone that is still circulating in a man's system and makes it unavailable to exert its effects in the body's tissues. What unbound testosterone is left over does the beneficial work and is known as "bioavailable" testosterone.
Andropause is associated with low (bioavailable) testosterone levels. Every man experiences a decline of bioavailable testosterone but some men's levels dip lower and faster than others. And when this happens these men can experience andropausal symptoms.
These low testosterone symptoms can impact their quality of life and may expose them to other, longer-term risks of low-testosterone. It is estimated that 30 percent of men in their 50s will have testosterone levels low enough to be causing symptoms or putting them at health risk. Andropause is also referred to as (LOH) Late Onset Hypogonadism in aging men.

The MacKay Bagpipe Band
MacKay Bagpipe Band was formed in the late 1970's by Lee Lightle, in an effort to
create a unique organization where its members could come together to celebrate their
love of Scottish and Irish music in an uncompetitive environment. Originally located in
Lansdale, PA the band relocated north to Bethlehem after Lee's passing away in the
early 90's. Keeping true to Lee's traditions and principles, the band continues to grow
and prosper, proud to accept members from varied age, gender, and interests but all
equal in their commitment and importance to the band.
Even with over twenty volunteer members, the band continues to provide its members
with free lessons, uniforms, and equipment. Rather than rely on outside sponsorship,
the band performs at various events throughout the year with all proceeds going directly
towards funding the band. MacKay has won numerous awards at parades and festivals
across the North Eastern United States.
