VIDEO: Man shows how NOT to impress the ladies in epic wall fail
THIS not so smooth-mover has definitely fallen head over heels for this girl – but we're not sure the feeling is mutual.
In a hilarious clip, the man is seen eyeing up a wall next to a woman he clearly wants to impress.
As he approaches the wall, he takes a split-second leap of faith for the sake of love.
Too bad that second lasted a lifetime for this Jack the Lad.
The confident daredevil misplaces his footing and (painfully) comes crashing down to Earth.
But Romeo puts on a brave face and gets up to escort his unimpressed Juliet off camera.
"Looks like I'm already falling for you.'"Reddit user
A moving .gif of the clip was posted on discussion website Reddit yesterday and commenters couldn't help but run down his ego even more.
One wrote: " 'Looks like I'm already falling for you.' "
And another said: "That's still the second biggest mistake he made that day. First was going out wearing all purple."
Lesson one: Never try and jump knee-high walls to impress the opposite sex. Ever.

The reason it's hard to be positive about Off Road is that even when it works and there are no gripes as such, it's still a horribly average experience, almost as though there's been a concerted effort to produce mediocrity. Yes, at £19.99 it's a budget game but that shouldn't be an excuse to create something that's only memorable when it irritates, especially when there's numerous quality driving games out there that can be picked up for less these days.
As such, it's difficult to see what type of gamer Off Road will appeal to, as even those attracted by the Ford and Land Rover licences will be disappointed to discover a lowly 18 vehicles to choose from. Essentially, only someone willing to lower their expectations to match the lowly ambitions of the whole project will step out of this vehicle feeling in any way satisfied.

Tulisa should relaunch career in films, says brand expert
POP babe Tulisa's best chance of a career comeback lies in making movies, according to a brand expert.
Marcel Knobil reckons the former X Factor judge will be shunned by advertisers despite being cleared of drug pushing.
And he believes some will also be put off by her conviction for assaulting a blogger at a music festival. But troubled Tulisa does have a good chance of getting into the film business because movie makers "will trade off a bit of controversy".
Marcel, founder of the Brand Council UK, said: "Even though she has been cleared, many brands will still feel uncomfortable and suspicious.
"Before the cocaine allegations, Tulisa had a successful range of clothing and perfume"
"Although things look a lot more positive, it's not going to be an instant transformation."
Before the cocaine allegations in a Sunday newspaper, Tulisa had a successful range of clothing and perfume. The brands guru added: "While she had some strong brand associations, they took a long time to build."
A spokesman for the star said: "Tulisa's future plans will be music-based."

A natural disaster can be defined as a natural phenomenon, causing enormous environmental, human and material losses. Typical examples of natural disasters include floods, storms, cyclones, earthquakes, forest fire, drought, avalanches and so on. Let's illustrate them in this essay on natural disasters.
The Indian sub-continent is very vulnerable to certain types of natural disasters, which have an enormous impact on human lives, not to mention resources, thus causing devastating environmental, economic and social losses. That needs to be stressed in an essay on natural disasters.
Natural disasters negatively affect the rural community. Unfortunately, exactly this category of population due to its very low standard of living is especially vulnerable to sudden economic changes. In case of any natural disaster they will be most likely deprived of their means of living. Natural disasters do a great deal of harm: mass migration and destruction, hunger, etc.
The vast majority of essays on natural disasters start with floods. Well, we won't do any harm if we follow their example. Eastern India is tortured by floods on a regular basis. At that area the Himalayan rivers are used to flooding huge parts of their catchment areas. Floods uproot houses, damage infrastructure and disrupt livelihoods and cause erosion their own banks.
Floods rarely take place in urban areas. It's because streets normally have drainage systems to withstand excessive water logging. Nevertheless, in 2006 Mumbai, the country's business hub, heavily suffered from 942mm of rain lashed down. We should confess in this essay on natural disaster that most «natural disasters» is the direct result of negative human activity.
Indeed, what do we, people, do to contribute to floods? That's hard to take for granted, but we really do a lot to get floods closer. The matter is that the rapid and unstoppable development of Mumbai as well as the flouting of regulations and rules provoked choking and blockage of the Mithi river, flowing through a part of the national business hub and carrying off excessive water to the sea.
Other human environmental «sins» include rough violations of coastal regulation zone rules, uncontrollable and rapid development of green zones, building on open spaces and areas marked for parks. All of this drastically reduces even that little space Indian cities require to absorb heavy rains. Additionally, no all Indian cities have up-to-date drainage systems, while obsolete ones can't cope with floods.
Another widespread natural disaster in India is drought. More than eight Indian states became victims of severe drought in 2001. The recent researches have proved that severe droughts take place once every eight to nine years in semi-arid and arid zones. The devastating drought of 2002 was acknowledged by the Meteorological Department of India as the toughest drought in this country. The given drought impacted up to 56% of the land mass. It also threatened the livelihoods of approximately 300 million people in 18 Indian states.
India suffered an adverse impact on tough earthquakes during the International Decade of Natural Disaster Reduction. The most significant ones were in Latur, Uttarkashi and Jabalpur. As follows from the Seismic Zonation Map of this country, its north-eastern states, Uttarakhand and the Kutch region of Gujarat are the most venerable areas.
The tragic effect of the earthquakes was greatly enhanced by the fact that many parts of the state were suffering from droughts for several years.
Kutch had to deal with fodder and drinking water scarcity. A lot of men had to migrate for work. As a result, their kids and women were left alone. These categories of Indian population appeared to be the most vulnerable of all the country's citizens.
Then, we should tell just a few words about cyclones. The states, including Andhra Pradesh, Orissa, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, not to mention the Bay of Bengal heavily suffered from cyclones. However, the given natural disaster mainly affects the country's coastal districts. The range of destruction involves up to 100 kilometers from the center of the cyclone. It's clear that the worst devastation occurs at the time of the highest peak of this disaster.
The Bay of Bengal coastline boasts the world's shallowest waters, relatively dense population, not to mention an extremely poor economic condition. All of this significantly complicates the overall situation.
Needless to say, cyclones have an extremely devastating effect on the national economy as well as lives of Indians in the affected districts. Lots of people there are roughly deprived of their only source of livelihood. Public infrastructure suffers enormous damage, to say nothing of the state's economy – the tempo of economic development slows down a lot, to put it mildly.

2018 Update: We still stand by these busty women style tips, but if you're a busty professional, you may want to check out some of our other content, including our most recent roundup of the best lingerie to buy at Nordstrom.
One of our top posts of all time is one a friend suggested I write, back in the early days of the blog: how to dress professionally if you're busty. We haven't offered busty women style tips in a while, so I thought we'd discuss. But let me be clear at the outset: there's nothing inherently unprofessional about being busty — women come in all shapes and sizes. I'm not about to suggest you go buy a minimizer and try to pretend that you're a 34B. But: dressing well while busty can be a challenge because so many clothes are made with other body shapes in mind — and for work it can be particularly trying since so many conservative styles are rooted in menswear. Furthermore, if you wear something that obviously does not fit or has fit issues (gaping, pulling) it reflects a judgement call. So — here are some new tips and guidelines on how to dress for work if you're busty, from someone who's been everything from a 30F to a 38G over the years…
(Pictured: If you're petite and busty this is yet another reason to watch Crazy Ex Girlfriend — her work outfits are mostly hits for me. The video this screenshot is from is hilarious ("Heavy Boobs"), but it is probably NSFW.)
Finding the Right Bra is Half the Battle
- Invest in a great bra that fits you. The right bra will lift you up and support you. It will not give you quadboob. It may have an odd size that you've never even heard of before (28FF, for example). The right bra will not make you worry about falling out of it when you bend over. It will not cut into your shoulders (that's a sign your band size is too big) or fall off your shoulders. (Note that your straps can be shortened at the tailor — and that you can check out lingerie brands just for petites, like The Little Bra Company, Lula Lu, or even the Bare Necessities special section for petites). A good bra will take work to find and may cost you some money, but it will be worth it in spades. I highly recommend going to a bra shop and getting fitted — think Nordstrom, not Victoria's Secret (link goes to to one woman's fitting experience at VS with lots of pictures; probably NSFW). In NYC I've used Bratenders over the years and La Petite Coquette — I've also heard great things about Linda's Bra Shop — and in London I've been fitted at Rigby & Peller. Ladies who have a favorite shop in your city, please shout it out in the comments. Once you know your size you can watch for sales; I tend to get new bras at Nordstrom's sales, Bare Necessities sales, or even sometimes Amazon.

The public has been pestered lately with the question: Are you better off today than you were four years ago? Now it's management's turn to face that question.
One would think that business people would answer it with a nearly unanimous yes. A recovery that leaped ahead like a mighty jackrabbit, record profits, stepped-up deregulation, tax breaks - these are the happenings of the past four years.
Not so fast, warns Lawrence Klein, professor of economics here at the Wharton Business School of the University of Pennsylvania.
According to this purple-bow-tied Nobel laureate, who was an adviser to Jimmy Carter, the answer for managers, and for consumers, ''is a mixed bag.''
Speaking before a group of journalists last week, Dr. Klein said he ''was surprised'' when he examined the statistics and found that real corporate profits - profits adjusted for inflation - will actually be less this year than they were in 1980, the last year of the Carter administration.
Adjusted for inflation, after-tax profits for this year will turn out to be around $69 billion, in 1972 dollars, he says, compared with $83.9 billion in 1980. Even though ''profit growth has come up nicely,'' he says, ''it has come up from low recession points,'' and that made it difficult for earnings to pull ahead of the 1980 level.
Using the rates on Treasury bills as a yardstick, he pointed out that today's interest rates weigh more heavily on business. Unadjusted, the figures show the opposite picture, with the 9.95 percent T-bill rate for 1984 lower than the 11. 43 percent of 1980.
But adjust those rates for inflation - which gives the most accurate appraisal - and today's interest rate turns out to be three times that of four years ago: 6.3 percent vs. 2.2 percent.
On the other hand, inflation ''is a measure of clear improvement,'' Dr. Klein pointed out. The GNP deflator, which measures price increases for all goods and services, not just consumer goods, has tumbled from a 9.2 percent growth rate in 1980 to 3.7 percent this year.
Inflation as measured by the consumer price index is even lower, now down to a quarter of what it was under Carter's last year in office. Also on the positive side, productivity in the nation's factories and offices has improved substantially. Gross national product (again, measured in real terms) is far out in front of 1980 GNP.
The recession, however, dragged down the overall four-year growth rate of GNP during the Reagan administration, giving President Carter's people the advantage there.
Dr. Klein has two worries: the federal deficit, which he calls ''extreme,'' and the trade deficit. He puts the federal deficit for fiscal year 1984 at $171. 8 billion, compared with a $59.9 billion deficit in 1980.
Until now, he quietly explains, business has not been crowded out at the borrowing counter. (The argument goes that there is only so much money to go around without stimulating inflation. If government borrows too much, it puts the squeeze on what's left over for business - and drives up borrowing rates, too.)
''We can see the reasons why no crowding out has occurred,'' he goes on. Business has been able to get cash from a number of sources: the influx of foreign investment, corporate America's own high retained earnings, and tax breaks, Klein says.
''But are we sitting on a time bomb?'' he asks. ''Some of these reasons (that have forestalled tight borrowing) are volatile, waning, or petering out.''
These concerns, however, don't terribly dampen Dr. Klein's economic forecast for the next two years. Interest rates will drop during the next quarter, then begin to rise. They will rise to such a height as to trigger the next recession, which he predicts will be ''relatively mild.''
A recession, he says, will probably start in the first quarter of 1986, last a short two quarters or so, then end up with a recovery beginning again at the end of that year.

Brass Bed
Alternative music sensation Brass Bed brings their eclectic mix of indie, psychedelia and pop back to their hometown of Lafayette, La.
Brass Bed has been a lifelong collaboration between Lafayette, La., locals Jonny Campos, Peter DeHart and Christiaan Mader. These self-proclaimed "wide-eyed pop dreamers" brought Brass Bed to life during a bedroom recording session when they were all home from college one summer. Their most recent album, The Secret Will Keep You, released in 2013, dances between sunshine and sarcasm while showcasing their broad musical palette. Brass Bed's reverb-heavy harmonies and guitar lines create a sound that is both ethereal and reminiscent of pop tunes of the 1960s and 1970s. Their layered psychedelic rock songs are raw and honest, capturing the anxiety and humor of life. The tracks for this labor of love were laid down live to tape during a single 10-day session with Danny Reisch at Public Hi Fi Studios in Austin, Texas.

Project title: On-farm management of cutworms in organic no-till corn
Investigator: Jeffrey Moyer, Rodale Institute Experimental Farm, Kutztown, PA
Project location: Kutztown, Pennsylvania
Researchers at the Rodale Institue Experimental Farm are leaders in the study of no-till organic farming systems, pursuing the advanced management of cover crops and a use of a roller crimper for cover crop suppression prior to planting cash crops into cover crop residue. The system shows promise for meeting the objectives of reducing weed pressure and subsequent tillage. However, researchers have also observed increased cutworm pressure in the system, and in this project they investigated the factors of timing and location in addition to application of OMRI-approved materials to mitigate cutworm damage. Study results point toward habitat manipulation as a more effective and economical strategy than material biocontrol inputs for cutworm management. Interestingly, the native soil fungus Metarhizium was also shown as effective in overcoming cutworm larvae.
These study results are for the first two years (2008-2009) of a three-year field trial testing the efficacy of National Organic Program (NOP)-approved cutworm controls in an organic no-till corn system. The organic no-till system relies on leguminous cover crops rolled at corn planting to form a nitrogen-rich, weed-suppressive mat. While the rolled cover crop mat has shown excellent weed suppressive, erosion prevention, and energy- and time-saving capacities, it has also supported large cutworm populations and subsequent severe crop losses. Severe cutworm infestations reduced corn populations 34-67%. These losses noted at the Rodale Institute's experimental farm, as well as by numerous farmers, motivated our study.
Black cutworm (Agrotis ipsilon) moths arrive in storm fronts in early spring and preferentially lay their eggs in lush cover crops, crop residue, or weeds. When temperatures exceed 50°F, the cutworm eggs begin to mature. Much like each corn variety requires a certain number of growing degree units (GDUs) to reach physiological maturity, developing cutworms also require a certain number of heat units to reach maturity (and their most damaging stage of development instars 3-5). From year to year, the timing of the peak influx, or biofix, of cutworm moth varies with the timing of weather front arrivals. Then from the biofix, heat units begin accumulating at different rates – faster for warm springs, slower for cool ones.
Cutworms are most damaging 312-430 heat units after the biofix. Generally, in eastern Pennsylvania, it takes about 30 days from the time of the biofix for the cutworm moth to mature to its developmental stage with greatest damage potential.
This project was undertaken to evaluate several cutworm control tactics in organic no-till corn so as to reduce challenges faced by farmers and ultimately increase adoption of the biological no-till system. Our specific objectives were to conduct on-farm and on-station trials to identify effective management strategies for cutworm in organic no-till planted corn.

The Only Addiction I've Ever Had Was a Boy
I remember the first time I officially met Mike. Which is weird, since most everything else that night is a drunken blur. But when he walked up to me and introduced himself, that part is totally clear in my mind. It was during a party, one of my first at college. I had stepped outside to get some air and he came up to me. I remember thinking he was attractive. I asked him what was in the punch and he told me fruit punch and grain alcohol. He smiled at me, amused with how drunk I was and that was it. It wasn't a significant meeting at the time, but it was definitely the start of something intense and messy and confusing and surprisingly emotional and looking back there's really one word to describe what it was perfectly: addiction.
I spent a lot of time hanging out with the same two girls and three guys(Mike included) at his apartment. We were all partying several times a week. All of us flirted shamelessly with each other, and it was clear there was a slight competition between Mike and another boy Chris. We spent more time with Chris. So he usually got more attention and Mike was obviously jealous. One night, a boy spilled some beer all over the front of me. This year was the height of my crazy party girl, no morals phase. So I went into the bathroom where a bunch of people were just hanging out talking and asked Mike to take care of it. He began licking the beer off. Physical connection had been made.
I guess it is my fault this whole thing got started. Towards the end of September, I got a call that there was a small party, so I got myself party ready and headed over. About halfway through the evening Mike and I were alone in the bathroom. I was sitting on the counter drinking and he was leaning against the opposite wall smoking. I don't remember if we were talking or not, but we ended up kissing. It was a good kiss. Like, really good. It was incredibly passionate and sweet. I don't think I've ever been kissed better than that. When we stopped kissing he told me he loved me. I thought that was a ridiculous thing to say. I just figured he was lying cause he was drunk. I laughed at him and told him he did not love me. He looked hurt and insisted that he did love me and that I was amazing and beautiful, etc. We made out a bit more and he kept saying that he was in love with me and wanted to be with me and finally I told him that he couldn't love me because he barely knew me. So he said "fine. Let's get to know each other". We went into the living room where everyone else was, sat down, and started asking questions like how old are you, when's your birthday, what activities did you do in high school, etc. It was pretty silly. He got up to go to the bathroom and about a minute later I got up to do the same but I was intercepted by an alumni friend ofMike's. He pulled me outside to tell me to stop being a whore. I told him to f@#$ himself and we both went back inside. I went into the bathroom and sat on the counter to wait for Mike. He was on his way to me when his obnoxious friend got in his way and made him go to bed. He looked longingly at me before going into his room and shutting the door.
A few days later, we had another small party and Mike was clearly battling with himself over being near me. We'd be hanging out in the bathroom and the other people would leave and he'd take a step toward me and then flee the room. Throughout the night we'd make eye contact but he'd walk away. Later on we were back in the bathroom, me, on the counter and him, against the wall smoking. I asked him questions about his girlfriend and he would answer. I could tell he was putting effort into staying against the wall. Seeing how I had very little morals at the time, I told him to come over and give me a hug. I knew that if he got that close, he wouldn't be able to walk away. He paused for a moment and then slowly walked over and hugged me. Instead of letting go though, we lingered. He put his hand on the towel rack next to me to kind of brace himself. We were very slowly leaning in to kiss but we were trying so hard not to. It was this crazy magnetic pull. I've never felt anything like that before. When we were millimeters away from kissing I heard this noise next to my head. We both looked, and were surprised to see that he had ripped the towel rack off the wall. This thing between us was so intense and he was so trying not to kiss me that he did that. We both looked at it and started to laugh. He tossed it on the counter next to me and walked out. He came back a moment later with Chris. He pointed to the rack and went into his room to go to bed. Chris then spent the rest of the night trying to convince me to back off of Mike (and pay more attention to him).
As far as most people knew, that was the end of us. Unfortunately, that was barely the beginning. The rest of that first semester is kind of a blur of parties and classes and making out with pretty much everyone. Sometimes he would give in and make out with me and sometimes he totally blew me off. We never really talked. We barely saw each other except during parties. I'd try to get him alone in the bathroom and if I did, we'd be all over each other. It was always just as intense and passionate as the first time. Other times, he'd purposely be all over other girls right in front of me just to hurt me. I guess part of him thought if he hurt me enough I'd give up on him, and I probably should have, but I just couldn't. During one party I kept asking him if we could go make out and he kept saying later. I'm not a patient person by any means. So finally I sat down next to him on the couch and said "are we gonna make out or what?" "later." he said. So I told him that I couldn't wait any more because I was going to go home with Chris. He turned to me, pissed off and said "oh so I'm just something for the meantime?" "you have a girlfriend!" I yelled at him. He got up and went to his room and slammed the door. I finished my drink and went home with Chris. I didn't understand how Mike had the gaul to expect me to be only with him when he had a serious girlfriend out there. I guess it was different since Chris was right there and Mike was friends with him. I never really met Melanie. That was her name. I had seen pictures of her and she visited Mike every now and then but he made sure we never went near each other.
When we went home for winter break I figured that would be the end of it, since he'd be spending 4 weeks with her. I thought he'd come back totally in love with her and stay away from me. Apparently, I was completely wrong. He had missed me terribly, he told me. The making out became something that happened at every party and it progressed another base or so. We also upgraded from the bathroom to the bedroom. At some point during the party I would wander into his room (no one was really allowed in there most of the time) and lay down on his bed. I'd pretend to sleep so that he'd have to wake me. I loved the way he would wake me. It was one of the few times I could catch him being sweet and gentle. He'd softly brush the hair off my face, trace my collar bone with his fingertip, kiss my neck, etc. When I'd finally open my eyes, I'd smile at him, and he'd kiss me. Then things would move pretty quickly. He was an aggressive person and I found it incredibly attractive. Sometimes the party was still going on in which case, I'd go back to the living room and a few minutes later he would as well and we'd keep drinking and hanging out with our friends. I never slept over. I don't really know why.
We still hurt each other. Not nearly as often but still. Whenever assface friend would visit for a party, Mike would treat me like shit. It wasn't just that he wouldn't hook up with me, but he'd ignore me, physically push me aside, anything to make Assface think he was done with me. It was pretty obnoxious and hurtful. I hurt him too, sometimes. At the end of some parties I'd cuddle with Chris and we'd hold hands or kiss and I swear I could feel Mike's eyes on me. I'd feel it and I'd look and he'd be standing across the room just staring sadly at me. I'd hold his gaze for a moment and then he'd usually go to his room and shut the door either to get stoned or sleep. No matter how much we hurt each other, I still knew that he cared about me. There was one party I remember, when I drank way too much and passed out on the couch. Every now and then I'd open my eyes for a second and then go back to sleep. Whenever I opened my eyes he was sitting next to me watching me to make sure I was ok. It was comforting to know he was there.
There was one night, when he and I were in his apartment with a close female friend of mine. She had a lot of emotional issues and one thing she had a habit of doing was going after boys who were with other girls, particularly her friends. That night she went after Mike hot and heavy. I, knew he wasn't attracted to her (I had asked him before), amusedly watched her try so hard to get him to want her. She and I were very close and she knew everything that was going on between me and him and I guess she was jealous. Anyway, we were all on his bed. She got on top of him and was massaging him and I just sat there reading a magazine, trying not to laugh. He said something about how it was my turn to massage him and I told him that she looked like she was doing a fine job. I guess he and I just enjoyed toying with each other. It was easier than admitting actual feelings. Eventually she got off of him and they laid down to snuggle. He took the magazine away from me and pulled me down next to him. The 3 of us were snuggling and I feel his hand under my shirt going up and down my back. I remember thinking that he must be crazy for starting something with her there. I tried to resist but his hand went up my back and through my hair and finally to the base of my head and I felt his head start to lower towards mine. Like I said before, magnetic pull. I turned my face up and we started kissing. My friend of course was appalled and rushed out of the apartment.
After that we were a bit closer because I knew that he wasn't cheating on his girlfriend with anyone else. It was about me. He wanted me specifically. I started spending a little more time with him. I'd visit him while he was working in the studio. I'd keep him company all night sometimes. We didn't even make out, we just talked. And during every party we'd make sure to have alone time together. When he'd be on the phone with his girlfriend, I'd be a smart ass and tell him to say hello for me. He'd glare at me amused and walk away.
When the semester wound down, we never even really got to say goodbye. I remember at the last party, I was on my way out and I saw him sitting across the room with his girlfriend. He saw me and we just held each other's gaze for a moment, then I left. We didn't talk all summer. I had no idea what he was up to. I ended up getting into a fairly serious relationship with this guy named Joey. So when I went back to college in September, things were different.
My sophmore year of college, Mike still lived in the party apartment, but so did Chris. It was a duplex, for the greater party good. We spent a lot of days playing poker and hanging out. It was a little awkward seeing him again, after 3 months. The first big party rolled around and we flirted. He tried to get me to kiss him and I told him I had a boyfriend now and I wasn't going to cheat on him. He was hurt and pissed since he had cheated on his girlfriend for a year with me but I wouldn't do the same for him. He walked away and I didn't see him for a while. I finally found him downstairs sitting alone in the dark. I went in and stood behind him and started gently running my fingers through his hair. He always liked when I did that. He asked me questions about Joey, similar to when I first asked him questions about Melanie. When I told him I wasn't a virgin anymore he moaned like the news hurt him. Chris's sister was visiting and she and Mike had always had a flirtation. She wanted to make out with him. He asked me if I really wasn't going to be with him anymore. When I said no they went to his bedroom together.
You'd think that would have been the end of it for us. That's what I had thought. Unfortunately, he wasn't about to give up on me that easily. He was the little devil on my shoulder for the rest of the year. At every party, he would find me and touch me and kiss my neck and shoulders and face. Everywhere except my lips. He'd be on his way there and I'd turn away at the last moment. And that literally took all my strength. We began talking online, which didn't help. We also had a class together. I was seeing him all the time and getting to really know him and none of that was helping me not want to be with him. We actually became friends. Friends with more sexual tension than anyone had ever felt before. We'd hold hands and sit on each other's laps and massage each other. I wanted to be good, for Joey, but Mike had some sort of hold on me and I couldn't stay away from him.
The worse part was that Joey knew some of my history with Mike. When he would join me at parties, he ended up hiding out in one of the other rooms because he couldn't stand to see the chemistry between us. I had always felt it, but I didn't know it was obvious to other people especially when Joey was around. I always tried to keep things totally platonic looking. I asked some friends about it and they said that the connection between Mike and me was so strong, they could not only see it but feel it. They said it was like electricity when our eyes met. You could feel the longing and sexual tension between us. Mike would even hit on me sometimes when Joey was there. It was terrible. He'd try to kiss me in the bathroom and I'd push him away. He'd get upset and go get stoned. It seems, our addiction to each other wasn't enough, but me keeping my distance added to his other addictions.
At some point in the winter, I couldn't take it anymore. I wanted him so badly. But I was in love with Joey. I mean, Joey and I were talking about getting married. So I told Joey that I had feelings for Mike and I didn't know what to do. It was a big dramatic thing, and Joey ended up picking me up and I spent the weekend at his house. We talked it all out and decided to stay together. When I got back to college, I was talking to Mike online and I told him what had happened. This was the first time we had really talked about our feelings. He never came right out and said it but he made reference to feeling the same way about me. He begged me to go to his apartment to talk to him about it. I didn't. I knew if I did it would be the end of my relaitonship with Joey. Cause at that moment, talking about our feelings for each other, if we had been alone together, we would have had sex. I think at one point he even walked halfway to my room and turned around and went back to his apartment. We were both at such war with ourselves. Shortly after that he unfriended me on face book. He said it was his girlfriends' doing. I don't know for sure but I think he told her about me in hopes that I would be with him for real and when I decided to stay with Joey he worked things out with her.
About a month later, I found out that he and that friend of mine from before had been having sex for months. I remembered specific nights where he'd really be trying to get with me and then I'd leave and she'd be "passed out" somewhere else in the apartment. So he'd have sex with her, thinking about me. It wasn't enough for her to go after a boy I clearly had feelings for, but she had to do it the way I used to. I was really really pissed. I had suspected it a long time ago and asked him and he said nothing was going on. He always made comments about how she 's dirty and stupid and he was repulsed by her. When I found out, I instant messaged him. "can I ask you a question?" I said. "of course, angel, anything" he replied. "why do you always act like you're disgusted with her? I mean she's good enough to f#$% so she can't be that bad right?" ……I didn't hear from him again for like a week. I'm almost certain at the moment he read that , he went inside and got stoned out of his mind. That's what he did whenever I stressed him out. He would get stoned, chain smoke, or hook up with another girl, thinking of me the whole time.
Even though we had our issues, he always cared about me. In class, after a presentation, he squeezed my hand in encouragement. One night I was hanging out while the party was winding down. I was sleepy so I laid down a bit and this random sketchy guy started talking to me. Asking questions like where I lived and if he can walk me home. Mike came over and sat with me. I sat up and draped myself over him and he held my hand and kissed my jawbone in an effort to make it appear that we were together so the guy would go away. He whispered in my ear that he'd make sure the guy stayed away from me. He stayed near me til the guy gave up on me and left. It was very sweet how he was protective of me. I never would have guessed the year before that he actually cared about me. I thought I was just some dumb freshman who fell for his manipulations, but in time I started to think that maybe he actually had fallen in love with me shortly after meeting me, as unbelievable as that was.
The year came to an end and he graduated. Once again we didn't get to say goodbye. We continued to talk online regularly. It was disappointing to go back to school and not have him there. I had come to rely on him over the passed two years. In September Joey and I decided to see other people. Well, it was more my decision then his. Mike visited the college that fall and we were really awkward. I think it's because we had so much buildup. He had been hounding me for over a year to be with him and now I finally could.
We never saw each other again. We continued to talk online for hours almost every day. We talked about everything. He'd ask for pictures of me so I'd take them and send them to him right then and there. He'd tell me how he regrets how things were with us in the beginning. If he could go back and live that year again, he'd never let me leave his bedroom. He'd say how he regrets that we never had sex. I'd ask him why he had sex with my friend and he said he never enjoyed it, he was sorry he lied to me and that all he had wanted was me. These conversations went on for about a year. I was the only person to encourage him to make himself happy. He was always worn out and unhappy with his job. I told him he was young enough and he should just do freelance and make himself happy. He said that I had a point and he'd never even thought about it before.
At the beginning of my senior year, I texted him "hey baby I miss you" during a party. I sent the same text to about 5 other people. It was totally innocent to me. Not everyone feels that way apparently. Melanie called me that night to tell me not to contact him anymore. I was too drunk to really respond. But after we hung up the phone I thought about it and got pissed. So I texted her and she and I argued back and forth for a little while. Finally I texted him saying that we were done. I don't know what he was thinking, letting her call me. I removed him from my buddy list that night and haven't spoken to him since. I still check his facebook every now and then. As it turns out he quit his job and has been doing freelance. It figures the one person who cares about me enough to take my advice and change their life is the one who would never commit to anyone. He and Melanie now live together and I dread the day I run into him. I'm sure when it happens I'll be looking awful and he'll be with her. I'm fairly certain she would recognize me and that won't be a pretty picture. I wonder sometimes if I would've been the one girl who he would've actually been with. Like maybe he did actually love me when he said he did, and maybe he would have committed to me. I never really wanted him to though. I wouldn't have ever been able to trust him. I knew him better than Melanie did and I wasn't as easily manipulated. But I guess in the end, he chose her over me. Looking back. I don't regret any of it. I just hope he makes an honest man out of himself. I've seen the real Mike and I always thought he had it in him to be a good guy, he just wasn't comfortable enough yet.
It was an addiction. I've never been addicted to anything or anyone other than him in my life. We couldn't get enough of each other even though we knew that we would only cause trouble for each other. We hated each other and we loved each other. No matter how bad I knew he was, I needed to feel him touching me. And it physically hurt me to not kiss him when he was nearby. It was a painful, intense, amazing, pleasurable, loving, hateful, depressing, comforting, sick and twisted…….it was something I longed for and longed to get away from at the same time. He completely consumed me for 3 years and although I hated when Melanie called me, she actually saved me. That situation was the thing that finally got me to let him go and I've never looked back.

As a book author, I'm very interested in what makes a title successful.
The other day I was listening to a podcast of the NPR show On the Media, and they had a publishing expert on talking about how new digital tools like the Kindle are providing new data sets on reader behavior. Publishers can now see exactly how long readers spend on each page, how many get to the end, where bottlenecks and dropoffs occur, and more.
Sure, this is going to create some privacy concerns (do we want the government to know that we lingered on a page about a radical religious sect?), but overall it is going to provide new data that authors and editors can use to refine their work. Hopefully, it won't dumb everything down. It may also help people discover new content better tailored to their interests.
People worry that hyper customization will increase the echo chamber effect, with consumers increasingly self-selecting only what they want to see, hear, or read, based on their pre-conceived notions. That's a legitimate worry, but it's very hard to put the
Christina Aguilera genie back in the bottle. Further, there is no denying that the benefits to both consumers and content creators are going to be massive.
Systems tend to favor increased efficiencies, especially when there is money to be made in providing people more of what they want, faster and cheaper.
Authors may learn which characters to "vote off the island" in series, and publishers will likely discover new untapped audiences for niche content. (Who knew so many people were interested in making their own coffins?)
The below infographic for Hiptype takes a look at some interesting trends in books and reading. It's perhaps not surprising that more men read Sci-fi and historical fiction, while women buy more cookbooks and romance. Both genders have a healthy appetite for literature. It's also not surprising to see how book length influences finish rates and price influences sales figures and completion rates (pay more for a book and you feel obligated to pick it up).

We call on the UK Government to stop its policy of allowing 15 year olds to apply and 16 and 17 year olds to be recruited into the Armed Forces. The recruitment and targeting of young people and vulnerable groups has been criticised by the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child.
Why is this important?
What better way to commit our country to peace during the commemoration of World War One and remember the hundreds of thousands who died from the UK alone, including boy soldiers like Rifleman V J Strudwick who was killed at 15? Why is it that in 2014 the UK is the only country in Europe - and the only country among the permanent members of the UN Security Council - to recruit 16 year olds into its armed forces?

Abortion is the number one issue for the black community? Silly me was thinking maybe there were a few other things ahead of this "problem," perhaps things like education, incarceration, addiction,healthcare or, hey, since you Care So Much about Babies, the ridiculously high Infant Mortality Rate for black babies. A college educated black woman is more likely to lose her baby than a white high school educated mother.
Redskins fans preferring Mickey D's to Real Food? No surprise there! Go Big Blue!

A near perfect historical film (IANS Movie Review)

Unlike the usual biopics, Steven Spielberg`s "Lincoln" is literate, cerebral and heartfelt, with some brilliantly managed moments, albeit being a documentation that centres on the passing of the 13th Amendment of the American Constitution - the historic amendment that abolished slavery in the United States.
The film captures the last four months of Abraham Lincoln`s life and as the 16th President of America. The events of the movie take place just after Lincoln`s re-election. The civil war is in its fourth bloody year, and there is dissent in the House of Representatives.
The film opens with Lincoln having a casual chat with some black Union soldiers, who were former slaves, about the lack of equality between blacks and whites. The approach seems very casual, which is difficult to digest, but it shows the path the narration will unfold.
Well, anyone who knows anything about history already knows what happened, but it is the detailing of events and its outcome in the White house, which makes the film unique. It`s a great, enthralling and interesting history lesson for an audience which doesn`t mind digging their teeth into a topic instead of just seeing it rush by.
It portrays Lincoln as an old man, exhausted by war and personal catastrophes, yet being a devastating master of charm and exquisite manners, skilled in imposing his authority with a genial anecdote, a man with the natural leader`s trick of making people want to please him.
It also captures him as a scared husband and a gentle, caring and understanding father.
Spielberg blends Lincoln`s myths with surreal cinematic romanticism with period mood and imagery with appropriate verbal articulation. This all may sound exciting but it indeed requires a lot of concentration to follow dozen of bearded characters through political discussions in the first 20 minutes.
The second half does not rise to the occasion of capturing the excitement of the voting process for or against the amendment, as we already know how it is going to end.
What makes this two-and-a-half-hour political saga less tedious are the performances. Every artist has given his/her 200 percent. Daniel Day Lewis as Lincoln, with his physicality, make-up and mannerisms, is the heart of the movie.
Sally Field as Mary Todd Lincoln with her maternal and soothsayers instinct gives a formidable performance that matches Daniel`s oratory skills.
The dialogues are expressively striking, contemplative, and ultimately moving. In the scene where the president wakes up two telegraph operators in the middle of the night to send a message and talks to them of their lives and experiences most definitely does not crackle with tension. Instead it is beautiful and moving.
And in another scene when Lincoln states "Am I in trouble?" when he is reminded that Mrs. Lincoln is waiting for him in the carriage is unforgettable in its simplicity.
Things you can rely on in a Spielberg film are outstanding cinematography, a John Williams soundtrack and fine performances down to the smallest roles and "Lincoln" delivers on all those fronts.
Tony Kushner`s screenplay makes the issue of slavery its centre-piece, but sets it within such a long crossfire of backroom intrigues, political skullduggery and rhetorical bluster that actual drama and the human element of the movie is lost.
At the end, if anything is flawed in this movie, it`s neither the performances nor the technicalities of the film production aspect, but the script itself. The film oscillates between something of humanistic realism, with all its dirt and beauty, and of a reverential Hollywood mega-production with sweeping orchestration and grandiose sentiment.
This is a good, very nearly perfect film, that`s just hindered by a lack of cohesive vision.
Watch it for history`s sake.

Hi Jen - I've been having a rough time the last couple of years. Still in AI dx limbo. My rheumie wanted to start me on Plaquenil the first time I saw her - but I wasn't ready - been dodging all kinds of meds for years. My fibro and unexplained liver problems make it hard for me to take meds - so I keep searching for natural approaches to the problems/symptoms.
I saw a homeopath for about a year -without much help. I get the most benefit with muscle/pain symptoms from massage therapy (3yrs)- but it's very temporary and expensive. I'm currently trying acupuncture. My rheumie encouraged trying it. I've had 4 treatments, with the traditional chinese herbs/teas. Generally, I've felt no better - and even a little bit worse for a few days after treatment. Was getting really discouraged - and then after the last one - I suddenly started feeling better. More energy, less fog, less pain. Still not "all the way home" (which I'm not sure I remember what that feels like) but definite improvement. I had been told by a couple people and from research that it takes at least 5-6 treatments to begin to feel appreciable benefits. I'm hoping that's the case, and I'm on my way.
That said - during the 4 mos. I've been rec'ing the acupuncture, I've had two pretty bad flares - relatively short-lived in the acute stages - but difficult nonetheless, and seemingly more directly associative to Lupus. So either the "thing" has just generally been ramping up for the last couple years.....or ......?
I also use meditation time with my ipod for relaxation and it seems to help. I try to stay away from dairy, sugar (very hard!) too many raw foods, alcohol and caffiene. The acupuncturist advised that my Ph was overly acidic, so I stay away from acid producing foods also.....which seems to help my GERD. I walk for exercise - anything else is too much, it seems, even though 4 years ago I was doing 60 min. of aerobic exercise with weights 3 x wk AND walking 4-5 x wk. I had a back injury (herniated disc w/ nerve involvement) in 04 and it seems nothing has been the same since. The back problems hampers the other problems and vice versa.
I take a multivitamin, calcium, malic acid (just started that based on recommendations here) and a garlic supplement. Also fish oil (Omega 3). I see my rheumie in Nov. ( I cancelled an appt in Sept. because I was feeling better) and will see what she says about Plaquenil then. I have another acupuncture tx this month. Hoping things will improve even more - but if they don't I'm ready to give the Plaq a try. Winter always increases symptoms and is tough to get through. Wishing I was feeling a little sturdier going in.
Now that I've rambled on and on and on....what do you to/take to manage your symptoms naturally?
Thanks for the encouragement, Jen - it's good to hear! I'm sorry Lyme and Lupus have gotten hold of you, and the traditional treatment protocals didn't work for you. Your strong spirit comes through, though - very positively - and I agree with what you say about our emotional issues affecting our wellbeing. Actually, I think any kind of stress (it all gets processed emotionally in the end) affects our vulnerability and response to illness. I also think that many times our symptoms do get masked in the early stages by a variety of meds - which really doesn't help the process of discovering the root problem.
I do, of course, acknowledge that traditional meds are oftentimes a Godsend and can be lifesaving, and/or life-changing. And I will admit that at times, I wish my body responded better to medication. Like you - the medications I have tried (for everything) made me worse - and that list includes Celebrex, Statins for high cholesterol, Neurontin, Flexeril, Niacin, and on and on. I can't take a large number of antibiotics or any kind of decongestant/antihistamine, and my dentist doesn't use epinephrine in the novacaine when she works on me. Through the years I was forced to listen to my body and recognize that drugs were not going to be the answer for me.
Congratulations on your decision to become a healer!.... the world needs all kinds of approaches and perspectives. That's why I love this forum...all kinds of folks with a variety of experience and wisdom to share. We have so much to learn from one another!
I hope you'll let me know how things proceed with you, and I'll do the same. Good luck with your studies!
Hugs and blessings,
In His Grip

This video is a followup to Leuren's first delivery on the fate of Flight 370, and after listening to the whole thing tonight, I can say there's a lot of solid intel and research packed into this video. It's well worth a listen if you are serious about learning the truth about what happened.
Leuren also prepared a 15-page document you can access via the hyperlink below.
Part 2 of the interview will be uploaded on April 17th.
I met with a Cobra 'Prepare for Change' friend again yesterday and we agreed that the false flags we discussed as examples all had multi-pronged agendas—never just one. Leuren says this one met 5 NWO objectives.
If we think in terms of just one reason why they pulled off 9/11 or the Boston Bombing or Sandy Hook, we're missing several pieces of the puzzle and won't see the big picture. It's interesting to sit down and try to come up with as many payoffs as possible for each event to get a feel for just how much planning goes into these psyops; just how much they had to gain.
The stakes are even higher as the big players are now engaged, but I'm sure there are still people out there saying, "Oh, the government would never do that. I'm not listening to those conspiracy theorists."
For those who refuse to wake up on their own, they'll be awakened forcibly. Every time they stick their head back in the sand, they're getting closer to a land mine. ~ BP

I think this group is real gold! This tune here is a single off their upcoming LP that will be released in September. "Surprise Hotel" is certainly a refreshing effort. I've found it on the heels of all these afro-pop beats provided by The Very Best, and I must say that Fool's Gold takes standard afro-pop harmonization and riddim and turns it into something truly unique. It bustles with the life of urban LA, but simultaneously hap-hazardly rolls through ghost towns like a tumbleweed from an old Wild West film. In the end, we arive someplace that's part desert part African village. Grab this teaser to keep you anticipating the upcoming release in September.
Luke Top, a member of, among other things such as Cass McCombs and Foreign Born, also dabbles in the aforementioned band Fools Gold. His solo album, Friends, is in stores now. Top, incidentally, was born in Tel Aviv and is the son of an Iraqi refugee. Like the bands he partakes in, he resides in LA. As evidenced by his past, his musical ideas are certainly eclectic.

International and Off-Campus Study: January, Summer, Semester and Year >
International and Off-Campus Study:
Last spring, 43 percent of the graduating seniors in the class of 2006 had participated in an international experience for credit during their time at Manchester. For this spring's graduating class of 2007, we expect that number to rise even higher! Why is that impressive, and how do we make this possible? It is impressive because the national annual average for students studying abroad is only 1 percent. At Manchester College we believe that the world is our classroom and we offer three types of study abroad: short-term January and summer sessions, semester, and full year opportunities. In addition, there are plenty of opportunities for students to participate in faculty-led off-campus courses in the United States.
This past January session, more than 100 students studied a wide variety of subjects in such varying locations as Ghana (African history), London (modern scientific thought), France (French and psychology), Italy (experiencing the arts), Spain (comparative civilizations), Mexico (Spanish), and New Zealand (intercultural theater), as well as New York City (experiencing the arts) and Hawaii (psychology).
This coming July, Manchester College kicks off a new India program, the "India Story Seminar," which highlights the history, culture and rapidly advancing technology of that country, the world's largest democracy. One of the lecturers of the program, Valmik Thapar, India's leading conservationist and specialist in tigers, was interviewed recently on 60 Minutes by Diane Sawyer. Manchester College is the coordinating institution for this initiative, and spaces are currently available.
We are also already gearing up for next year—January Session 2008! As students register for courses in the next few weeks, they will be able to select experiencing the arts in Spain, history in Ireland and Britain, beginning Spanish in Costa Rica, intercultural theater in New Zealand, or participation in the medical practicum in Nicaragua. Closer to home will be the chance to study U.S. political history in the making with a course in Iowa—where the presidential campaign will be really heating up next January. The following summer, in June 2008, students will have the chance to study field ecology in the Bahamas.
Manchester students also continue to study abroad for semester and year residency programs in record numbers. Twenty-one students are abroad this year through Brethren Colleges Abroad (BCA), with six students studying for the full academic year, four for fall semester and an additional 11 during this spring semester. Currently, students are in the following locations: Athens, Greece; Barcelona, Spain; Cheltenham, England; Galway, Ireland; Quito, Ecuador; Sapporo, Japan; and Strasbourg, France. Additional popular BCA locations for Manchester students include: Marburg, Germany; Xalapa, Mexico, and Dalian, China. A new program in Derry, Northern Ireland, focusing on peace and justice, is also being added.
A particular strength of January, summer, semester and year programs at Manchester is that there is something for every student in every major! In addition to the breadth of subjects offered during January Session, the current semester students are from such diverse majors as: accounting, biology-chemistry, business management, economics, French, math, peace studies, secondary education, sociology and Spanish.
The Office of International Studies and Academic Enrichment serves as a central location for information on off-campus opportunities, provides extensive advising for students interested in all programs, and holds pre-departure workshops for BCA students and families.
At Manchester, our students have the opportunity to find their place—all over the world!

Ever since elementary school, we've been asked to fill in the blanks. On a test. A form. A questionnaire. Sometimes our answers come naturally; other times we struggle to find the right words. Here on campus, we recently sent an email to some of our students asking them to fill in the blank, to finish the sentence, "At Manchester, I found …." Their answers peppered our inbox. Without coaxing, our students fired back real life testimonials that put smiles on our faces and gave us an uplifting sense about who we are as a college. And we've loved hearing their stories.
Read more "I found" stories at findyourplace.manchester.edu.
Hearing what our students found at Manchester is just the beginning. We're extending that question to you and hope you feel as comfortable filling in the blank as our students did. Since your son or daughter has been a student at MC, what have you found? What was it like when you stepped on campus for the first time? Or came back for a visit? What made you feel this was a good place for your son or daughter to be? Who has been most influential on your student's success?
We're anxious to hear your stories! Please fill in the blank: "At Manchester, I found … "
Just a reminder that the FAFSA deadline is quickly approaching. March 10 is an important date—especially for Indiana residents! The FAFSA must be received by the processing center by March 10, 2007, to be considered for state grant eligibility. Even non-residents should file in March so there are no delays in getting financial aid information.
Doing the FAFSA can overwhelm some families, but it's not that bad. Those comfortable with technology can complete the form online (www.fafsa.ed.gov). Those who like paper can complete the paper version. If you need help, you can call the Office of Financial Aid at 260-982-5066 or email us at firstname.lastname@example.com. We'll be happy to assist!
It's time once again for Manchester College's annual Little Siblings weekend! This year's special weekend has been scheduled for Friday and Saturday, March 9 and 10.
The Manchester Activities Council invites your student's little siblings—or little nieces, nephews, cousins or friends—to a weekend of activities and fun! Our activities for the weekend are tailored for ages 5 through 12. Information letters regarding the weekend have been mailed to all Manchester College students. The deadline to register is Thursday, March 2.
If you have any questions, please call or email:
It won't be long until you can tour the new Union in person, but in the meantime, you can get a bird's eye view from one of three Spartan Cams positioned inside and out. Check out all our live Spartan Cams online.

Creatinine is a chemical waste product of muscle metabolism that is eliminated through the kidneys. Persistently high levels of creatinine indicate that the kidneys may not be functioning properly. The normal range of creatinine in blood is:
- 0.6 to 1.2 mg/dL (or 53 to 106 mcmol/L) for males, and
- 0.5 to 1.1 mg/dL (or 44 to 97 mcmol/L) for females.
The values may vary slightly depending on different laboratories and their techniques. Men usually have higher levels than women because creatinine increases with muscle mass.
Factors that contribute to high creatinine levels include dehydration or inadequate water intake; medications like ACE inhibitors, NSAIDs like aspirin and ibuprofen, chemotherapy drugs and others; strenuous exercise; chronic diseases like kidney disease, diabetes, high blood pressure and thyroid disorders; kidney problems; and excessive blood loss.
Muscle building, taking the dietary supplement creatine and eating large amounts of meat can also elevate creatinine levels.
Some common symptoms of high creatinine are digestive problems like nausea, vomiting and poor appetite; fatigue; urinary changes like frequent night urination, decreased urine output and dark colored urine; edema; itchy skin; and shortness of breath.
As high creatinine levels may indicate kidney problems and kidney damage, it is best to see your doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment.
In addition, you can try some home remedies and dietary tips to help manage the problem. Drinking plenty of water, for instance, is highly recommended when dealing with this problem.
Also, there are some herbs that act as natural diuretics and thus help provide some relief. You can follow one or more of these herbal remedies daily for a few weeks or until your creatinine levels are reduced.
It is important to consult a healthcare professional before taking these herbs or their combinations because they may interfere with certain prescription drugs or may not be suitable for some cases. Some of these remedies may not be suitable for those with a history of kidney stones or other pre-existing conditions.
Here the top 10 home remedies to reduce high creatinine levels.
1. Chamomile Tea
A study published in the Journal of Agriculture Food Chemicals found decreased creatinine levels in study participants who drank chamomile tea. Plus, this herb will work as a mild sedative and induce relaxation.
- Put two or three teaspoons of dried chamomile flowers in a cup of hot water.
- Let it steep for three to five minutes.
- Strain the tea and drink it.
- Drink a few cups of chamomile tea daily.
2. Stinging Nettle
Stinging nettle can help remove metabolic wastes and promote renal excretion due to its diuretic properties. Plus, it purifies the blood and improves immunity.
- Add two to three teaspoons of dried nettle leaves to a cup of hot water.
- Let it steep for 10 minutes.
- Strain and drink it.
- Drink this nettle tea once or twice daily.
Note: This remedy can interfere with blood-thinning, high blood pressure, diuretic and diabetic medications. Consult your doctor before using this remedy.
3. Dandelion Root
Dandelion root tea also works as a natural diuretic to flush out toxins and lower creatinine levels. It also helps improve kidney function and relieve edema or swelling due to water retention.
- Put one tablespoon of dried dandelion root powder in a cup of hot water.
- Allow it to steep for about 10 minutes.
- Strain and drink it.
- Drink this tea two or three times daily for a few days or weeks.
Note: Dandelion may interact with diabetes and high blood pressure medications.
4. Cinnamon
Due to its diuretic properties, cinnamon is considered good for those suffering from high creatinine levels and kidney problems. It helps increase kidney output and promotes renal filtration ability. It also helps regulate blood sugar levels, thus preventing further renal damage.
Incorporate cinnamon in your diet by adding it to warm beverages, smoothies, baked goods, cereals and other foods.
Note: Do not take this herb in excess or it may lead to liver and kidney damage. Though there is no established dosage still, the generally recommendation is one-half to one teaspoon of cinnamon a day.
5. Siberian Ginseng
Siberian ginseng containing eleutheroside compounds is mostly used as a health supplement for its energy-boosting properties. It is also an effective remedy to get rid of excess creatinine because it revitalizes the kidneys and promotes renal circulation. Plus, you'll get its anti-fatigue and anti-stress benefits.
The general recommended dosage for this herb is 300 to 600 mg per day. For proper dosage and suitability for your condition, consult your doctor. It can also be taken with cinnamon.
Note: Do not confuse Siberian ginseng with other types of ginseng, especially Asian ginseng which has an anti-diuretic effect. Seek your doctor's advice before taking Siberian ginseng because it may interfere with many prescription drugs.
6. Astragalus
Astragalus is a traditional Chinese herbal medicine that helps slow the progression of chronic kidney disease. It works as a mild diuretic and helps improve creatinine levels. It contains a diuretic compound called asparagine that helps eliminate fluid through the kidneys. This herb also strengthens metabolism and digestion.
- Boil a handful of dried astragalus root slices in one quart of water for 30 minutes.
- Strain and drink the tea.
- Drink this daily between meals.
Note: Those who have autoimmune diseases should consult a doctor before taking this herb as it may stimulate the immune system.
