I'm not done shopping only 1/3 done. But, I have a pretty good idea that I'm going to wear this tan skirt that has flowers at the bottom and a slit in the middle, actually you can call them skorts because shorts are underneath. And with that I'm going to wear a white peasant top, but it doesnt have sleeves. I need to get shoes, I dont have any idea what shoes I'm going to wear.

I don't care about starting school; just I don't want to get up at 6 AM.
I like school. If you tell yourself positive thoughts, you won't look down on so many things. I now look forward to school because
1) I'm excited about seeing my friends.2) I'm excited about making new friends.3) I can't wait to start new school year goals! (making good grades and following through with it)4)Being a sophomore!

Critic Reviews for High Art
All Critics (44) | Top Critics (8) | Fresh (32) | Rotten (12) | DVD (2)
A highlight of the 1998 Sundance Festival: Cholodenko depicts with unwavering veracity the breakup of one longtime lesbian relationship just as another, unexpected one begins. The acting of the three women, Sheedy Mitchell, and Clarkson, is superb.
Clarkson's Greta... is wickedly funny, while Mitchell's ingénue convincingly combines puppyish idealism and steely ambition. But it is Sheedy's Lucy, nonchalantly sexy, sharply intelligent, tough and vulnerable, who is the film's heart and soul.
Warmed-over Red Shoe Diaries episode wrapped in a blanket of pretension.
Solid, sexy drama with a dash of wit. Fine performances especially by Clarkson.
Who knew Ally Sheedy was so sexy?
A solid if diffident, strongly character-focused drama worth the time of those who appreciate shoegazing introspection for the High Art that it is.
Audience Reviews for High Art
Absorbing psychological tug-of-war ensues for the attentions of fragile, reclusive photographer Lucy (Ally Sheedy) between her current girlfriend, junkie German former actress Greta (Patricia Clarkson) and her newly introduced downstairs neighbor, assistant magazine layout editor Syd (Radha Mitchell) who can get her vocation back on the fast track. The title has a double meaning as Lucy is torn, she can choose to remain in her current situation of privacy locked in a world of drug-fueled parties and a debilitatingly dependent Greta, or gain the strength to get clean and join Syd which also means facing the pressures that drove her away from the photography business in the first place. This trio of actresses is equally excellent in showing each character's vulnerabilities and makes the film worth watching, even if it seems to end with a chapter missing.
Super Reviewer
This is the film that had everyone aflutter because here we have Ally Sheedy coming out of the woodwork years after the Breakfast Club and she is a les-bion. She does a wonderful job but what happened to her co-star Radha Mitchell?
Super Reviewer
Cholodenko's debut brims with luscious cinematography.Literally!!The trio is demanding in every frame,projecting the pessimism of life,abnormalities in relationships,a Queer film without the cliches of this genre (I refuse to call it that way).Clarkson is so fuckin' underrated I swear she could play an animated freak and still play as gorgeous as ever.Gloomy atmosphere during the sex scenes.

Topic: Search Engine (10/06/11)
TITLE: What Are You Searching For?
He looked like a real flesh and blood person and for a moment I had forgotten it was a computer image and reached out to touch it.
Then I went back to the list of topics and clicked on I am the Truth, there stood an image of Jesus holding a dove that I took to represent the Holy Spirit. His smile was disarming and the feathers on the bird seemed so alive I thought it would fly out of the computer onto my shoulders.
I sat staring at this image for a minute, wondering what it meant. What was happening to me and why it was happening to me, maybe it was the rich barbeque sauce I had for dinner the night before or the fact that I hadn't gotten much rest in the last 24 hours. Somehow none of these reasons seemed to ring true for me. I was completely awake, not dreaming, not in bed – as a matter of fact, I had just finished lunch when I turned on the computer.
No explanation seemed acceptable. Then I decided to investigate further by clicking on the 3rd topic in the listing, I am the Life. This led to an experience that cannot be adequately explained by mere words, one must have been there to experience it to know how I felt. On the clicking of this topic I was brought into a bright light that emanated from the screen. It projected rays of golden amber and crimson red that covered my body and created a surge of energy throughout my body.
I was shaken to the core of my being. Was this the trick of some search engine guru? Then I felt compelled to ask what its purpose was and why this was happening to me. His face turned radiant like the sun and his smile filled the entire screen with warmth that was comforting and sincere. He looked at me with pleading eyes and said I had to get your attention somehow. You busy yourself with your work which you believe you are doing for me never letting me into it. I do believe you are sincere, but remember the one who gave you the work in the first place – remember me. I promise it will go easier for you if you do.
Tears formed in my eyes as I said, Jesus I am sorry, I will remember to ask you into my work the next time. Then a peace that surpasses all understanding spread over me and I was happier than I had ever been.
Now I want to ask you, does your computer come first before Jesus?

Fabulous West Maui oceanfront location. Polynesian Shores is a low rise, low density oceanfront community on 2 lush acres with a total of only 52 units. Conveniently located near world class golf courses, beaches, and restaurants, 5 min. to Kanaapali and 10 min. to Kapalua. Our top floor 2BR/2Ba oceanfront condo has fantastic ocean and Molokai views from the unit and balcony (lanai). Fully equipped kitchen, sleeper sofa in living room. 1 BR and bath on 1st floor, 2nd bedroom and bath on 2nd floor loft. Come watch the turtles and whales outside the front yard.
Keywords: Honokowai, Kahana, oceanfront, ocean view, west Maui, Polynesian Shores, sunset
We were attracted to a small, low rise oceanfront community with full ocean views. Love the view!
Fantastic ocean views of Molokai from the lanai, kitchen and living room. Trade winds directly from the ocean provide a nice breeze through the unit.
This unit had a very nice view, a decent kitchen, and a nice location. The gas grills we're great, the pool small very nice and not crowded. My only complaint was that the back room was extremely loud at night with considerable road and parking lot noise.
The unit could you some updates the TV in the downstairs bedroom did not work, there was no air-conditioning, as stated in the unit description online.
This is a wonderful property. Kept very clean and well supplied in the kitchen. We truly enjoyed the turtles; there was plenty of equipment to snorkel with and boogie boards to float on while snorkeling. The view from the balcony was amazing. Hearing the ocean while feeling the breeze allowed for a very nice sleepIng. I would recommend this for adults. They are very strict rules on quiet hours 10pm to 8. This is not the party condo this is the quiet relaxing condo ;the neighbors do report loudness and you will get a knock on the door by the resident manager if one does not comply. I was telling a story at 10:10pm oops, I was talking too loud. The rest of the trip I felt as if I could not speak until 8 AM in the morning the walls of the condo are very thin . If you have a voice that carries like mine, beware! Put your whisper voice on and play quietly.
Polynesian Shores is a beautifully situated condominium just a few miles north of Lahaina. Michael and Natasha's "Pineapple Grove"unit is furnished with everything you would ever need. The beds are comfortable and there are lots of beach toys, towels, mats, and snorkeling gear for your use. Easy one mile walk to the north and south take you to a microbrewery, grower's market, seafood deli/market, playground, and supermarket (Times) where the locals shop. Thank you, Natasha and Michael, for your hospitality.
Natalia and Michaels property is so amazing!! The beauty and perfectness of it can't be described! We were so happy and so satisfied with everything! Thank you so much! We can't wait to plan our next stay here! We made a lot of long lasting memories with our daughter! Thank you both again so much!
The location of this condo is perfect for snorkeling or just relaxing on the lovely quaint sandy beach. Thank you for our very comfortable stay! Your condo provided more than I expected, from spectacular views to comfortable furnishings and lots of kitchenware, and even beach chairs. Thank you for providing all of the extra comforts of home. We would definitely stay here again!
Thank you so much for the use of your condo at Polynesian Shores from December 21 through 31. Your condo had everything we wanted and needed to make our stay comfortable and fun - starting with the beautiful view and going on from there to the well-appointed kitchen and plush bath towels to the snorkeling equipment and beach chairs! The location in Honokowai was just perfect for us. We also really enjoyed the vibe at Polynesian Shores - a combination of laid-back year-round residents and not-too-boisterous renters. It made for a peaceful, family-oriented feeling on what was most likely the busiest time of the year in Maui. Your property manager, Victor, was such a nice man -- always helpful and available.

Originally posted on NESN.com | Last updated 1/22/13
There are actual football games, and then there are the games that people play within those football games. For the Patriots, that means questions about how Bill Belichick does (or doesn't) talk after games, and whether his speedy postgame handshakes are in some way a slight. Shannon Sharpe was all worked up Sunday evening when Belichick declined an interview after the Patriots' loss (can we just note that Peyton Manning had done the same thing the week before?), and critics of BB have quickly piled on. Belichick has at least one person in his corner, though — and it's a Super Bowl-bound coach. Ravens coach John Harbaugh said that, while Belichick could have skipped talking to him amid the bedlam after the game, he didn't, and he even took it up a notch. That wins big points in Harbaugh's book. "Before the game, we talked, and he said maybe we should just skip the postgame handshake because it's such a circus," Harbaugh told Peter King of Sports Illustrated. "I said I didn't know, I thought we should do it. It's just the right thing to do. And we did. "He was so classy, so gracious. Complimentary about how we played, about our game plan, about how tough it is to play us. I told him how much we pattern our organization around theirs, how much we study them." Harbaugh reiterated his thoughts the next day. While Belichick won't win any friends in the media with his usual approach, that he's earned the respect of the coach of one of his biggest foe says something. Now, we just want to know whether Belichick had a deal like that with Tom Coughlin before Super Bowl XLII.

Album Review | Top of the World | Dub Colossus – Addis to Omega
Posted on August 11th, 2014 in Recent posts, Reviews by Songlines Magazine.
Words by Howard Male
Farewell Ethiopia; hello Jamaica
Those familiar with the heavily Ethiopian-influenced band heard on the last three Dub Colossus albums will hardly recognise this new incarnation. The dub vibe is still present but Jamaica has now become the primary outside influence. The album opens with some twisted dancehall in the shape of 'Boom Ka Boom (and the Dub Disciples)' before veering off in a variety of fruitful directions. Each track adds new colours to the Colossus palette, with a smattering of guest contributors including Natacha Atlas, Justin Adams and the Horns of Negus. The Specials were clearly an influence on quirkily atmospheric highlights such as 'The Casino Burning Down' and 'Madmen', the latter featuring a suitably droll Terry Hall-like vocal from founding member Nick Dubulah. The new star of the show is Jamaican vocalist PJ Higgins who, as it happens, is also the focus of a new Jah Wobble album (reviewed opposite).
One misses the Ethiopian elements, but a band's gotta do what a band's gotta do, and that can mean moving on to pastures new. The bottom line is that the songs are stronger than ever and the arrangements still deftly balance widescreen grandeur with bass-heavy street cred.

The Scandal of the Skulls(2016)
(The seventh book in the Hildegard of Meaux medieval mystery series)
A novel by Cassandra Clark
Murder and mayhem engulf Hildegard of Meaux and sexy abbot Hubert de Courcy in a seventh mystery as soon as they get back from Avignon. They arrive secretly on the English coast, in a storm, at dead of night. Why the secrecy? Because the duke of Gloucester, head of the King's Council in Westminster, is savagely condemning every single one of young King Richard's allies to death at The Merciless Parliament. Even his tutor, the nationally beloved Sir Simon Burley, is in the Tower awaiting execution. Outraged by Gloucester's cold ambition and diabolical cunning, Hildegard is willingly drawn into a plot to free Sir Simon by the ambiguous knight in grey. Meanwhile, an apprentice is found hanging from a rope in Salisbury Cathedral. Are both events linked and if so, how? Hildegard defies death to discover the truth.

Golden rays of light filter through the clouds suspended on sharp mountainous peaks, drawing an unreal and subtle ambience….Lush and high islands emerge from the Pacific Ocean, a land of history and legend, all as fascinating as unforgettable: welcome to the magic environment 'The Land of Men', the Marquesas Islands.
It is geographically isolated and one of the most remote archipelago from any continent. It is located 1500 km North-East of Tahiti and spread out over 12 islands of which only 6 are inhabited. In Hiva Oa, discover monumental tiki and follow Paul Gauguin and Jacques Brel's journey, both now buried in 'Atuona's cemetery. Opposite the island, Tahuata is a small paradise island sheltering a population of local handicraft experts. In Nuku Hiva, explore Taipivai's bay and valley, Melville's and Hatihe'u bay, which Robert Louis Stevenson fell in love with. Ua Huka, the driest of all, is also named "the island of horses" whereas in 'Ua Pou, huge volcanic rocks and columns overlook the island. Discover Hanavave Valley in Fatu Hiva and the Bay of Virgins, one of the most stunning bays on Earth.
Although all very different, these islands have much in common - their beauty. They all feature spectacular landscapes, untouched and of a unique rich culture, treasures and mysteries.
ince the late 1970s, there is a strong cultural renewal all around these islands. Marquesans are taking ownership again of their songs, dances, carvings, handicraft and tattoos, which always remained in the islanders' ancestral memories. Nowadays, pahu (large drums) can still be heard in the valleys and tūhuna – skilled and knowledgeable craftsmen are more talented and in greater numbers than ever.
The cradle of Polynesian art lies in the heart of these rugged landscapes away from the worldwide development. "Fenua 'enata also called "Land of Men" is a genuine location of a simple and powerful world.
These are as many reasons why the Marquesas are currently applying to be added to the UNESCO World Heritage list.
An extraordinary adventure onboard the passenger – freighter cruiser Aranui 3 is a great way to discover these islands. From one bay to another, sailors unload goods to the local people eagerly awaiting the arrival of the famous South Seas cargo ship. In the meantime, passengers explore the natural and cultural discoveries of every island where they are warmly greeted by the Marquesans.

Friend and Foe Alike The Missouri Civil War Blog 2013-10-08T00:05:35Z http://www.friendandfoe.org/feed/atom/ WordPress FriendAndFoeAlikehttps://feedburner.google.com Greg Wolk http://www.friendandfoe.org/?p=644 2013-09-19T00:33:45Z 2013-09-18T02:00:56Z

When first I heard that Hannibal's Old Baptist Cemetery has graves of two veterans of the 55th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry, I thought to myself, here are men who transplanted themselves to Missouri after the Civil War. Peel back the pages of history, though, and what is revealed is a remarkable story.

The 55th regiment was the second African-American fighting unit enrolled in Massachusetts. Its famous cousin, the 54th Massachusetts Infantry, fought at Fort Wagner in '63. It was the 54th that made movie stars of Denzel Washington and Morgan Freeman (the 1989 film Glory). Soon after the effective date of Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation, the Governor of Massachusetts sought and received the permission of the War Department to enroll African-American troops; soon after that, the Governor realized that there were not enough young men of African descent in Massachusetts to fill a regiment. Some of the men who were Governor Andrews' advisors were the same men who armed Kansas immigrants in the 1850s. George L. Stearns was one of them. Stearns organized a national recruiting effort, and he went to places where populations of African-Americans of military age were abundant. So, he opened a recruiting office in St. Louis, and agents of the Massachusetts Governor went into Missouri counties such as Marion, Pike and Ralls.

Stearns' recruiting mission was so successful that Massachusetts formed a second regiment with the excess recruits, the 55th. While some of the Missouri men who volunteered entered the ranks of the famous 54th, dozens of them found their way into the 55th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry. William Morrison and Richard Miller were two of these men. It is no accident that they are buried in Hannibal. They returned home, after their unit distinguished itself in the sea islands of the South Carolina shore, and lived out their lives in Missouri. Corporal Morrison and Private Miller were there, we should presume, when the 55th regiment was among the first Union troops that marched into Charleston, South Carolina, after the fall of the city that was the cradle of Confederate hopes. The occupation of Charleston by African-American troops, on February 21, 1865, was hugely symbolic, as the men of Boston no doubt intended it to be.

The Old Baptist Cemetery in Hannibal holds a place in literary history: Most people who speculate on the subject will tell you that it is the "graveyard of the old-fashioned Western kind" where Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn witnessed the murder of Doc Robinson. But, almost every square foot of this great river town that Mark Twain immortalized in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer has a place in literary history. Old Baptist Cemetery holds a treasure of another kind, stone memories of common men, banded together, who changed history.

Part 1 describes the 8th Wisconsin Infantry's entry into the State of Missouri in October, 1861, with their eagle mascot, "Old Abe." Old Abe heard the sounds of battle the first time at Fredericktown, Missouri, on October 21, 1861.

The Wisconsin men left Missouri for Cairo, Illinois in January, 1862, when Ulysses Grant left the relative safety of that place to march on Forts Donelson and Henry. The Eighth Regiment had a small part to play in the Island No. 10 campaign, entering New Madrid, Missouri, on April 7, 1862. Soon the men were on transports steaming up the Tennessee River. They landed at Hamburg, Tennessee, near the battlefield of Shiloh, following in Grant's wake.

History records that at the Battle of Farmington, Mississippi, on May 9, 1862, the Eighth Wisconsin Regiment first went into battle. Old Abe was close to the fighting – closer than he was in Fredericktown. Guard duty in northern Mississippi and Alabama occupied the summer, until a Confederate force commanded by Missouri's own Sterling Price threatened the Union's hold on Corinth, Mississippi. Price attacked, pushing the Union troops from their outer trenches. As the battle for Corinth reached its climax, Old Abe broke his tether and soared over the heads of the Confederates. He invigorated the Union defenders. General Price was reportedly moved to say:

"That bird must be captured or killed at all hazards. I would rather get that eagle than capture a whole brigade or a dozen battle flags."

Corinth, October 3-4, 1862, was Old Abe's finest hour. But as the Wisconsin Historical Society reports, all together he witnessed 37 battles or engagements in the Civil War. He was wounded once or twice, some say. When the Eighth Wisconsin returned to Madison in 1864, the men presented their mascot to the Governor. Old Abe lived in a special room in the Wisconsin Capitol until 1881, when he died as the result of a fire. He was revered then; he is revered now. A bronze likeness stares down from a perch above the rostrum of the Wisconsin State Assembly chambers.

After World War I, the 101st U. S. Army Division was reconstituted a reserve unit with headquarters in Milwaukee. Called up in World War II, the unit retained its numerical designation and a shoulder patch honoring Wisconsin's famous eagle, as it moved into airborne operations. The "Band of Brothers" of Normandy fame, the Screaming Eagles of the 101st Airborne Division, trace their lineage to a day long ago in Fredericktown, Missouri.

The most famous Civil War mascot was a young eagle from Wisconsin. "Old Abe," as he was known by the men of the 8th

Old Abe

Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry, arrived in Missouri on October 14, 1861. He escaped from his handlers as the Wisconsin soldiers marched through north St. Louis, bound for Benton Barracks. Old Abe soared through the neighborhood, landing on a mansion's chimney, giving the men a fright. But he allowed himself to be captured by a constable and he returned to the regiment. The Eagle Regiment's first day in the Civil War was an eventful one.

The Wisconsin boys joined up in northern Wisconsin; they trained in Madison and moved to Chicago as they prepared to enter the war. Their young eagle – seemingly trained – was already acknowledged as a novelty when St. Louis first saw him. Old Abe was about to become an institution.

The day after the eagle arrived in St. Louis, on October 15, M. Jeff Thompson (Missouri's legendary Swamp Fox of the Confederacy) captured and burned a railroad bridge on the Big River just south of Desoto, Missouri. The 8th Wisconsin rushed to the scene, the men laying on their arms in the rain in Desoto that very night, arriving at the bridge on the 16th of October. Thompson was gone. The regiment and its eagle mascot proceeded south another 20 miles, to Pilot Knob, and there went into bivouac.

Thompson had not left the scene all together. A few days after he assaulted the Big River Bridge, Thompson was reported to be at Fredericktown, Missouri. Union soldiers stationed at Pilot Knob and Cape Girardeau were ordered to converge on Thompson's force, and so the Eagle Regiment marched east on October 20 with three other regiments of infantry. The next morning, October 21st, Thompson attacked at Fredericktown. The Eighth Wisconsin – only a week in the war zone – was told to guard the Union baggage train assembled near the courthouse, a mile from the battle. Old Abe was tethered to the courthouse roof, out of the way. Then as the boom of cannon and rattle of small arms reached the courthouse, Old Abe spread his wings, he screeched and cried. The eagle screamed.

The 8th Wisconsin did not go into battle at Fredericktown. Once the battle was over, eventually the new regiment went into winter camp south of St. Louis, on the Mississippi near present day Imperial in Jefferson County. The men and the eagle remained at Camp Curtis until January 17, 1862, then joined Ulysses Grant and the Union's drive into Tennessee.

A remembrance for the 191st anniversary of the birth of Ulysses S. Grant:

Grant's strengths and his faults have been debated for well over a century. I can relate two little known incidents that illustrate what was, simultaneously, his most disarming and undoing personal trait. Grant was fiercely loyal to people who befriended him.

Grant spent some his most challenging years in St. Louis, 1854-1860, moving about in the Southern society of his wife's family, centered in Southwest St. Louis County. This was then a very rural world; he counted as his "neighbors" people who lived many miles from his Hardscrabble Farm.

Case 1: Dr. James A. Barrett

Dr. Barrett (some times spelled Barret) was a member of a prominent Virginia/Kentucky clan that emigrated to St. Louis before the Civil War. In 1864, he along with a cousin (pre-War U. S. Congressman John Richard Barrett) became embroiled in a national controversy. An investigation got underway into the activities of a clandestine group of Southern supporters known as the Sons of Liberty. James Barrett was targeted as a member of the "Northwest Conspiracy," alleged to be a massive operation to aid the Confederate war effort and overthrow the government of the United States. The investigation, centered on the Son of Liberty's activities in Missouri and Indiana, snared Indiana copperhead congressman Clement L. Vallandigham and others. Later in the year, one Lambdin P. Milligan and four others were tried by a military tribunal in Indianapolis – the trial timed to precede the national elections in November, 1864. Milligan was sentenced to hang. He was freed when the U. S. Supreme Court in 1866 issued a landmark Opinion, Ex Parte Milligan, which held that military courts had no jurisdiction to try civilians where civil courts were operating.

Dr. James Barrett of St. Louis was an unindicted conspirator in the trial of Lambdin Milligan. His activities were prominently noted in the testimony of witnesses. But Barrett was not brought to trial.

On June 25, 1864, Ulysses Grant sent a telegram from headquarters in City Point, Virginia, to the Secretary of War.

"I will feel obliged to you if you will order General Rosecrans to release Dr. J. A. Barrett [on bail],. . . or to give him an immediate trial. The doctor is a copperhead, but I have no idea that he has done anything more than that class of people are constantly doing, and not so much. He was a neighbor of mine, a clever man, and has a practice in the neighborhood which it will be very inconvenient to other people than himself to have interrupted."

Grant arrived in City Point ten days before he paused to write his telegram to Secretary Stanton. He had just completed another of his master strokes, outflanking Lee's Army of Northern Virginia after Cold Harbor and landing in Lee's rear at Petersburg. Grant had on his mind the plight of a country doctor who once supported him in his bid to become County Engineer in St. Louis.

Stanton relented. Rosecrans fumed. The matter reached the desk of Abraham Lincoln, who wrote to Rosecrans: "When did the Sec. of War telegraph you to release Dr. Barrett? If it is an old thing, let it stand till you hear further."

Case 2: General John McCausland

"Tiger John" McCausland graduated first in the VMI class of 1857. When the Civil War began, McCausland organized Virginia's Rockbridge Artillery, then served in successively more important command positions in the Confederate army. He famously escaped from Ft. Donelson in 1862, before Grant captured the place and most of the army that defended it. As a Brigadier General of cavalry in 1865, he even escaped Grant at Appomattox.

Tiger John McCausland

McCausland's military reputation, otherwise distinguished, was stained by the burning of Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, in July, 1864. Under orders of his superiors, McCausland entered the town and demanded payment of reparations for Union depradations in the Shenandoah Valley. When his demand was refused, he burned the town. At the close of the War, McCausland was indicted by a Pennsylvania grand jury for arson; He lived in Mexico and in Europe for a time, finally returning to the United States in 1867 after Ulysses Grant intervened to quash the Pennsylvania indictment.

Tiger John McCausland was born in St. Louis in 1836, son of a John McCausland who gave the name to McCausland Avenue. The elder McCausland owned large tracts of land in downtown St. Louis, and devised St. Louis' first system of taxation. He died the same year his wife died, 1843, leaving John and his brother orphans. In 1847, John moved to what is now West Virginia to be raised by an uncle. He had lived with his paternal grandmother in St. Louis County before leaving for the east, but no doubt often visited his aunt Elizabeth Marshall at her home "Fairfax," restored and standing in Rock Hill near Manchester Road.

The National Register application for McCausland's post-war home near Henderson, West Virginia states that Ulysses Grant was "an old family friend of the McCauslands." Enough said.

There is a spring that flows on the grounds of a church in Ironton, Missouri, as it has flowed since 1861, and no doubt for eons before that. The spring has gained some improvements over the years – a gazebo, and near by a bronze statue that commemorates an event in the life of Ulysses Grant. What the Ironton spring lacks is the notoriety it deserves.

Ironton, Missouri

It is a fact that U. S. Grant received his commission as Brigadier General in his tent near the spring, while he commanded Union troops in Ironton in August, 1861. It is true that in 1886, not long after the General's passing, veterans of his first regiment erected a statue of a lone infantryman where his tent stood. Although Ironton is full of Civil War history, because a bloody battle was fought there in 1864, the statue by the spring would be reason enough for U. S. Grant fans to find their way to the Ste. Marie du Lac Catholic Church.

As a matter of legend and lore, and perhaps as a matter of fact, the Ironton spring is far more important. According to a man who ought to have known, General Grant sipped from this spring in 1861 and he said:

"This water runs into the Mississippi, the Mississippi into the sea; and it must run with unfettered freedom."

John Wesley Emerson, born in Massachusetts to the family that gave us Ralph Waldo, was an early settler in Ironton. The town sprung up just years before the Civil War, when a railroad reached there from St. Louis. Emerson – later Colonel of a Missouri regiment of infantry – was a country lawyer when Grant came to town. As Emerson wrote in 1898, he made his acquaintance with the new general and within several days Grant asked if Emerson had a map of the Mississippi valley. Grant sat with Emerson's map, at a pine table outside his tent, and marked Xs and lines – some in the direction of the great bend of the Tennessee River we know for Shiloh. Emerson gushed that Grant sat at that table and formulated his great campaign to open the Mississippi River, "the final accomplishment of which was to eventually bring him imperishable renown."

Emerson was a great admirer of Grant. He accomplished many things in the legal world and he built a fortune in investments. An indication of his high regard for the General: after the War, Emerson purchased a grand estate that occupied the Ironton ground that had been Grant's headquarters. He saw to it that the statue was erected at the place that he remembered to be the site of Grant's tent. In his declining years, he determined to become one of Grant's biographers. What Emerson did accomplish, before he died in 1899, was a series of articles carried over the course of several years by the Midland Monthly magazine. Emerson covered the whole scope of Grant's life and career. His installment of January, 1898, is the one that tempts us to believe that the campaign that ended at Vicksburg began at a remote Missouri spring.

John Wesley Emerson's name lives on through a start-up company he funded in 1890, Emerson Electric Company of St. Louis.

Were you taught to clean?
I was never taught how to clean really. I mean I knew how to pick up after myself, but really cleaning.
My mom wasn't dirty or anything but messy. We were never really home much as she worked long hours and se did sports. Weekends were relaxed and we cleaned when things got to messy instead of maintaining.
I've been out of the house and with my husband for 6yrs and it's been a process figuring out how to take care of a home. There's a lot if rings you don't think about if you aren't specifically taught. Like cleaning under the stove top, cleaning cupboard shelves, the vacuums! My mil taught me that, like taking out the filter and washing it etc.
I'm pretty good now, but I still fall behind sometimes.
So were you taught, how does that effect you now.
I was not really taught. I observed other people cleaning, and that is what I do.
yes but i hated it when i first moved out now i keep my places super clean bc i got out of hand for years like almost hoardrs bad
yes by 14 we all knew how to do everything...in college I moved in with two girls who didn't know how to do anything, from laundry to clean a bathroom, cook, etc. I subletted and moved out within a month.
Yes at a young age I was taught to cook and clean. I was standing at a stove at the age of 8. I was told by my mom that no one ever taught her how to do anything so when she married my dad, the places got so nasty they had to move 3 times before she learned 0.o The thing was though, after I learned to clean and cook, I did all of it until I moved out =/ I cooked every single night.
No. I was taught to clean up after myself and to be tidy but to do any deep cleaning, no. I always saw my mom doing it but she never took me aside to teach me "this is how you deep clean". I just sort of learned on my own.
Nope. I was never taught. I started doing it because my mom never did.
Quoting SRUsarahSC:
yes by 14 we all knew how to do everything...in college I moved in with two girls who didn't know how to do anything, from laundry to clean a bathroom, cook, etc. I subletted and moved out within a month.

An awful lot has changed at The Body since the last time we did a visitor survey two years ago: For starters, we held a nationwide search for some of the most inspiring people in the HIV community, and provided awards to 73 amazing winners; we began printing educational booklets on key topics in HIV, like starting treatment and avoiding drug resistance; and most recently, we completed The Body's first major redesign in 10 years!
Yep, much has changed at The Body, but our mission remains the same: To be your most complete, reliable source of information on HIV. That's why our visitor survey is so important! It gives us a chance to hear, from each of you, exactly what we're doing right -- as well as what we need to do better.
No matter who you are, where you're from or what your background is, your thoughts are vitally important to us. We hope you'll spend several minutes filling out our new survey and sharing those thoughts!
In health,

HIV Treatment Guidelines Update: Once-Daily Kaletra, and a Regimen to Avoid
The U.S. health department recently issued a one-page update to its lengthy HIV treatment guidelines -- an unusual step, considering the entire guidelines are revised almost twice a year. The update contains two new recommendations: First, people who are just beginning HIV treatment should avoid the combination of ddI (didanosine, Videx) + tenofovir (Viread) + an NNRTI (like efavirenz [Sustiva, Stocrin] or nevirapine [Viramune]). And second, people who are starting HIV treatment may, in most situations, be able to take a once-a-day dose of Kaletra (lopinavir/ritonavir), as opposed to the normal twice-daily dose of the drug.
U.S. HIV Treatment Guidelines Panel Seeks Member of HIV Community
Want to have a say in the development of HIV treatment guidelines in the United States? The U.S. Panel on Clinical Practices for Treatment of HIV Infection is seeking nominations for a community representative to serve a three-year term on its Adult Guidelines Panel. The ideal individual, according to this release, should have "knowledge and involvement in issues related to HIV treatment education/advocacy, or clinical/public policy initiatives related to HIV treatment." Find out more about serving on this important panel! (Web highlight from AIDSInfo)
Injection Drug Users No More Likely to Develop Resistance to HIV Meds, Study Says
Many HIV specialists fear that prescribing HIV medications to people with a history of injection drug use may be a wasted effort, because it's assumed that drug users will develop resistance to their HIV meds because of poor adherence. However, a Canadian study disputes this notion. The researchers found that, during the first 30 months of HIV treatment, people with a history of injection drug use developed resistance at similar rates to people with no history of injection drug use.

The Nuts and Bolts of Clinical Trials
Curious about HIV-related clinical trials, but not sure what youd be getting yourself into if you joined one? Check out this overview from the San Francisco AIDS Foundation. In it, youll get a much better idea for how clinical trials work -- and for the pros and cons you should consider when pondering whether to volunteer.
Enrolling HIV-Related Trials in the United States
If you feel a clinical trial might be a good fit for you, browse this sampling of nationwide studies and talk things over with your HIV doctor! At any given time, dozens of HIV-related clinical trials are getting underway in the United States. Many of these focus on new antiretrovirals, but HIV-related health issues, HIV medication side effects and HIV prevention are just a few of the other types of studies seeking volunteers.

Next Week: On-Location Coverage of IAS 2005
Next week's e-mail newsletter will include highlights from the largest international AIDS conference of the year: The 3rd International AIDS Society Conference on HIV Pathogenesis and Treatment (IAS 2005). Six of The Body's HIV medical experts will be in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to bring you analyses of breaking research, and Webcasts from kaisernetwork.org will put you front-and-center for some of the conference's most important discussions!
The Body's IAS 2005 home page is the place to visit for the latest highlights from this conference, which begins on Sunday, July 24 and runs through Wednesday, July 27. We hope you find our coverage useful and informative!
Fighting AIDS With a Beaded Cell-Phone Cover?
Who'd have thunk it: A way to show off your fashion sense, and to help HIV-positive women in South Africa at the same time? A program called Mothers Creations lets you do just that: In an effort the Wall Street Journal says is "being catapulted into the international fashion scene," HIV-positive women receive proceeds from the sales of beaded accessories they make by hand -- like a cell phone cover, which takes three days to make and goes for about US$20. The women making the beaded accessories are enrolled in a mother-to-child HIV transmission prevention program in South Africa.
AIDS Activists Cry Foul as Drug Companies Push Prices to Record Levels
Think HIV meds are getting expensive? You're not the only one. Activists from the AIDS Treatment Activists Coalition (ATAC) have accused U.S. drugmakers of artificially inflating the market at the expense of people living with HIV. This release explains ATAC's position.
Thousands Put Their Feet (and Shoes) Down, and a Nationwide AIDS Activism Movement Begins
Thousands of AIDS activists personally delivered 8,500 pairs of shoes to Washington, D.C., on May 5 -- one pair for each person who dies from AIDS every day. This marked the first major event of the Campaign to End AIDS, a nationwide push to get the federal government to more fully fund HIV prevention and treatment efforts not only in the United States, but throughout the world as well.
Using Viral Load Testing for Early HIV Diagnosis?
Forget about HIV antibody testing; if you want to diagnose people early and save more lives, viral load testing is the way to go. At least, thats the contention of Antonio Urbina, director of clinical HIV/AIDS education at Saint Vincent Catholic Medical Centers in New York City, and Timothy Law Snyder, a math and computer science professor at Fairfield University in Connecticut. In an op-ed piece, they argue in favor of diagnosing people with viral load testing, which can yield positive results within a week or two if a person has been infected. Many researchers believe it's during this time that people are most likely to pass the virus to others.
NIAID Signals Renewed Commitment to HIV Vaccine Development
Have you stopped believing in an HIV vaccine? Feel like HIV vaccine development is just spinning its wheels? A new U.S. initiative, the Center for HIV/AIDS Vaccine Immunology, will seek to break the stalemate on HIV vaccine research. The center will attempt to figure out the key roadblocks to vaccine development and design new vaccines with better chances for success.
Cutting Your Hair -- And Your HIV Risk
HIV prevention efforts aimed at local communities are critical to reaching people at risk. In New Mexico, for instance, a pilot program is trying to spread HIV education in community barbershops. The South Valley Male Involvement Project in Albuquerque is working with local barbershops to improve educational and clinical services for men, reduce risky behavior and prevent violence, teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV.
Stigma and Female Disempowerment: HIV's Allies in Africa
HIV stigma is all too real in the developing world, and its impact on women is devastating. This tragic fact highlights one of the most daunting aspects of fighting the HIV epidemic: Prevention and treatment may not be enough. To beat the virus, this essay suggests, entire cultures may have to change. (Web highlight from PLoS Medicine, a free medical journal)
Russia: Report Details Deep HIV Discrimination Against HIV-Positive Women, Children
In Russia, to have HIV is to face discrimination. But heartrendingly, the situation seems particularly dire if that person is a woman or a child. This new report from Human Rights Watch outlines the terrible details: One out of five children born to HIV-positive parents is abandoned or deposited in a "warehouse." Many healthcare providers refuse to take care of HIV-positive women, and segregate them and their children into separate hospital wards. Many schools refuse to enroll children with HIV. It's an all-too-familiar story to those of us who experienced the epidemic's early years in the United States -- and now it's playing out in Russia, too, with the same terrible results.

Slaying the Two-Headed Monster: HIV Treatment in the Developing World
In the developing world, getting HIV treatment to those who need it is a two-part problem, some say. Theres no argument that HIVers in poor nations need better access to effective meds now. But at the same time, healthcare systems in the developing world desperately need to be strengthened so that they can support themselves without relying on the aid -- and the political whims -- of outside countries like the United States. Despite this two-pronged problem, laments Gregg Gonsalves in this op-ed, precious few resources are being put toward addressing both the short-term and long-term needs surrounding HIV treatment in the developing world.

Information on cooking and heating practices
Increasingly, international household surveys, such as the World Health Survey (WHO), the Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (UNICEF) and the Demographic and Health Survey (ORCMacro/USAID) collect information on household energy practices. The questionnaires are similar but not identical. In particular, the appropriate distinction between different stoves can be challenging; a card with diagrams may help interviewers and interviewees assess stove types correctly. With support from Aprovecho Research Center and with input from UNICEF and ORCMacro, WHO has prepared a revised set of four questions on cooking practices and a stove card.
The questions on cooking and heating practices used in the World Health Survey can be downloaded here:

Magical Item: The Fetish of Eddermung
The Fetish of Eddermung is a sentient demon skull connected to a living demon corpse in the astral plane. The physical skull has been encased in a thin layer of living stone and, when placed atop a staff or spear, is used by the Eddermung tribe of hobgoblins as a watchdog. As hate incarnate, the skull both envies and despises all true life, cursing and demeaning them in every living language and ten thousand forgotten ones.
Superstitious, relatively unintelligent species (they must be sentient) can often be kept at bay simply by posting the Fetish outside a room or cave. It can see perfectly well in utter darkness or blinding light, and its half-phased body exists in the astral plane. This splice is what makes it immobile, but allows it to attack any beings that attempt to pass by it while phasing. More than one magic user has met his end by accidentally transporting himself while carrying the Fetish in his pack.
An adventuring party could make use of the Fetish as a sentry or a ward against wandering monsters reclaiming a dungeon that they are in the process of claiming. By carrying the Fetish in a sealed sack, or by securing its eyes with a blindfold, the Fetish can be transported in silence. If it catches sight of your party, however, its screaching could alert several hundred feet of dungeon to your presence.

Antoine, Thanks for spotting the typographical errors -- we will add these to the list of errata (http://www.w3.org/2007/OWL/wiki/Errata). Regarding the issue with reserved vocabulary, it is true that OWL 2 is slightly stricter than OWL 1 w.r.t. disallowed vocabulary in OWL DL ontologies. This obviously does result in a small loss of backwards compatibility, but the WG felt that this was acceptable given: 1) the improved clarity and simplicity of the specification; 2) that, with a few notable exceptions (such as owl:Thing and owl:Nothing), using URIs from the rdf:, rdfs:, xsd: and owl: namespaces to name ontology entities (classes, properties, etc.) is very bad practice; and 3) that there will be few if any backwards compatibility problems in practice as, to the best of our knowledge and experience, all existing OWL DL ontologies already satisfy the OWL 2 DL vocabulary restriction. Regards, Ian Horrocks OWL Working Group co-Chair On 3 Aug 2010, at 11:52, Antoine Zimmermann wrote: > Dear OWL working group, > > > I noticed a subtle issue in the OWL 2 Specs, which would break backward compatibility between OWL 1 DL and OWL 2 DL (plus 2 minor editorial corrections in the end): > > > In OWL 2 SS&FSS [1], it is said that: > > """IRIs with prefixes rdf:, rdfs:, xsd:, and owl: constitute the reserved vocabulary of OWL 2.""" > > and that: > > """IRIs from the reserved vocabulary other than owl:Thing and owl:Nothing MUST NOT be used to identify classes in an OWL 2 DL ontology.""" > > but the OWL 1 Specification for the mapping from RDF [2] says: > > """Definition: The class-only vocabulary is rdf:Statement, rdf:Seq, rdf:Bag, and rdf:Alt.

Is Greener Always Better?
A high recycling rate is a bit like a civic penance. Yes, we consumed, the figure admits. But we paid for it by going through the trouble of sorting our waste into green and blue bins. High recycling rates are demonstrations of personal and civic virtue, and so long as green is good, greener --as measured by a higher rate -- is obviously better.
That seems to be the message behind the European Commission's July 2 announcement that member countries will be required to recycle 70 percent of their municipal waste by 2030. The goal, the commission explained, is to "move us towards a zero-waste economy," and beyond the already difficult-to-achieve 50 percent target rate that the EU set for its members in a 2008 directive.
If what matters to you is this overall "diversion rate" -- the percentage of waste diverted from landfills to recycling and composting sites -- then 70 percent is indeed better than 50 percent. And it's much, much better than today's overall EU recycling rate of 39 percent.
But how much does this figure actually tell us? In the United Kingdom, for instance, recycling rates rose dramatically from 11 percent in 2000 to 43 percent in 2012, but are likely to drop 2 percent in 2013-14, according to SITA UK, a leading U.K. recycling company. The reasons are several, including "green fatigue" among people tired of sorting their garbage. But one key factor is a decline in the volume of newspapers and glass bottles Britons are consuming these days.
Historically, those two items have been among the heaviest components of the recycling stream. And because recycling rates are generally measured by the weight of the throwaways, diverting more glass and newspapers into the recycling bin was a good way to inflate the rates. In the U.S., too, the amount of recoverable newsprint in the municipal waste stream declined from 17.54 million metric tons in 2004, to 9.19 million metric tons in 2011. Sure enough, the U.S. has seen a slight decline in municipal recycling rates over the last decade.
The death of newspapers isn't the only cause, of course. But the point remains the same: Simply looking at the percentage of waste being recycled isn't a terribly nuanced way to measure environmental progress.
Consider the laudable example of San Francisco, where locals rightly take pride in an eye-popping 80 percent recycling rate. That's higher than any European country by far, and more than double the 34.5 percent recycling rate recorded for the U.S. as a whole in 2012 (the date of the most recent government data). Like Europe, San Francisco, too, has set a "zero waste" goal for itself, and looks to be well on its way.
Or is it? For one thing, the 80 percent figure is likely inflated. In December, Samantha MacBride, an assistant professor at City University of New York, convincingly demonstrated that San Francisco's diversion rate was heavily padded by the inclusion of heavy construction and road waste. Subtract those totals (which are very rarely included in recycling-rate calculations elsewhere), and San Francisco's rate drops to 60 percent, about what Germany manages as well.
And even that lower figure is deceiving. The fact is that cities can increase their recycling rates and, at the same time, the amount of waste they throw away: They can fill up landfills as well as recycling bins. That's precisely what occurred in the U.S. between 1960 and 2012, according to U.S. Environmental Protection Agency figures: Municipal solid waste generated grew from 88.1 to 250.9 million tons while the recycling rate increased from 6.4 percent to 34.5 percent.
According to MacBride's analysis, in 2012 San Franciscans sent 386 kilograms of waste per person to landfills and incinerators; the Germans contributed 223 kilograms per person. In other words, despite their lofty recycling rates, San Franciscans -- though they've made progress -- are still a long way from meeting German standards of thriftiness. As long as environmental policymakers remain obsessed with recycling rates, those kind of figures will end up in the rubbish bin.

"Amazing Story, Wonderful Story Teller"
It says it all in the Headline of this review. Jeffrey Archer tells this story of an interesting & inspiring man beautifully. I had trouble putting it down.
An excellent choice of Narrator.
"One of my favorite Jeffrey Archer books!"
This book marks the 13th Jeffrey Archer book I've read/listened to. I listened to it while making a straight 13 hour drive from Oklahoma City to Fairhope, AL. Once I reached my destination I could have kept driving because I wasn't finished with the book. It made the time fly by. I was so disappointed when it ended. Loved it. Now I'm off to download another Archer masterpiece.
"A Great Book"
This is a great read (or listen). As historical fiction, it closely follows the life of George Mallory who may, or may not, have been the first person to climb Mt. Everest. The ending offers one possible explanation of this 90 year old mystery.
Not only is the story exciting; it is also educational.
"Great historical novel. "
Well written, well read and a tear jerker near the end. Highly recommended even for non- mountaineers such as myself. Total joy to know of the struggle to climb Everest. Courageous men. Highly recommend!
loved every moment, a true but fictionalized story of demons, goals, friends and love of course.
"Didn't Hook Me Like Other Archer Titles"
First book I read of Mr Archer's was the Prisoner of Birth, which I loved.
Then it was Kane and Abel, another great title.
But Paths of Glory, just felt short to me. The narration was excellent.
Guess the content about mountain climbing just wasn't my cup of tea.
However, it did get me to look up info about some of the key part players from the book.
"Love this author!"
Interesting and true. I loved Archer's treatment of a fabulous man and story. Wish we had all of Archer's books unabridged. Sad that we do not. Come on, Audible!
"Never seems to get off the ground."
I felt the biographical information was interesting and therefore the 3 stars but otherwise it was dry and at times boring. Narration was good. Would probably pass on this one if I know now that the book was a biography of Mallory's life. If you climb mountains you would probably would give this book an extra star. If you get this book, do not read anything about the topic until after the book. That way there is at least a little suspense.
"never dull"
and always full of excitement, this read will keep you wondering and thinking and on the edge of your seat. And being historical now I wonder how we got it wrong. Oh, you can't go wrong with this mountain of a book!
"Not Archer's best"
This is surely not up to Archer's standards. I should have rated it higher, but didn't because I expected more from the author. I'm a fan. Don't expect to be "WOWed".

Of course, they would not. Do they want to lose? Ralph is running as Senator again, and might lose if he sticks too close to GMA. Tito will run as Mayor of QC. Good luck na lang. Mike is also running as Mayor of QC, with his dad or younger brother as Congressman. I am sure the whole Defensor family will lose this time. I will support Bolet Banal if and when he runs as Congressman of District 3, and I will support Herbert "Bistek" Bautista if and when he runs as Mayof of QC. Is it true that Congressman Defensor allegedly brought the barangay captains of District 3 and their families to Baguio last December? And they are now in Hong Kong for some sight-seeing? Who paid for these hot vacation? Ah, and all this, while the poor of Barangay Escopa come to me, asking for medicines.
Posted in MALAYA
FORMER senators Vicente Sotto III and Ralph Recto are eyeing positions in government after losing in the 2007 senatorial elections while former presidential chief of staff Michael Defensor and former senator Teresa Aquino-Oreta have already lost interest in accepting government portfolios.
Sotto, in a chat with reporters during the vin d'honneur in Malacañang Thursday night, said Defensor and Aquino are no longer keen on accepting appointments even if the one-year ban on accepting public positions for defeated candidates in the May 2007 polls has lapsed.
"Tutulong na lang daw siya," Sotto said of Defensor, adding that Oreta is also not keen on going back to public service.
But he said Recto is "definitely considering" holding a position.
The four were part of the senatorial line-up of the administration's Team Unity, which was beaten in the 2007 polls. Only three administration candidates won: Joker Arroyo, Edgardo Angara and Juan Miguel Zubiri.
Press Secretary Ignacio Bunye said Defensor merely "laughed off" the prospect of holding a government position after his defeat.
Sotto, former campaign manager of opposition standard-bearer Fernando Poe Jr., said he is "inclined" to accept a position in the Dangerous Drugs Board "if only to have the law fully implemented."
He said President Arroyo intimated her desire to give positions to TU candidates in a meeting last year.
Sotto, principal author of the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002 (R.A. 9165), oversaw the creation of the DDB when he was still a senator in 2002. The DDB is presently led by Anselmo Avenido, former chief of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA).
Sotto said he would zero-in on the rehabilitation of dependents because this "is already one-fourth of the fight."
"The day you stop buying (drugs) is the day you stop selling," he said, adding that enforcement is just one part of the fight against illegal drugs trafficking.
Sotto said government, which has only about four rehabilitation centers, should seriously monitor the operations of private clinics.
Tito, Ralph, eyeing appointive posts; Mike, Tessie no longer interested

Jason Sudeikis Credits His Recent Weight Loss To Sex With Fiancé Olivia Wilde
Published 5:36 pm, Thursday, July 18, 2013
Jason Sudeikis is looking much slimmer these days and he has his new fiancé, actress Olivia Wilde, to thank.
"The truth is, I'm not getting up an hour earlier and walking on a treadmill," Sudeikis reveals in the August issue of Elle magazine. "I have the greatest workout partner in the world. And you don't need a gym membership for that kind of workout."
The couple, who got engaged in January, have always been vocal about their active sex life.
"We have sex like Kenyan marathon runners," Wilde said last year, while Sudeikis told Elle, "I would say that's accurate."
Wilde has said that before she met Sudeikis, "I felt like my vagina died. It just turned off. Lights out."
Sudeikis continued to gush about his bride-to-be, saying "she's hilarious and kind and sweet."
When the magazine asked Sudeikis if there was a more masculine story he wanted to tell the public about himself than the one Wilde recently told about him falling out of a kayak, he responded, "What better story than meeting the girl of your dreams, sweeping her off her feet, and then being strong enough to carry her out? That's my story."
But it's not just Wilde who is responsible for the funny man's slim down.
"A lot of it comes from tiny things, like not eating barbecue sauce with my pizza at two in the morning," admits Sudeikis. "I think it's all a manifestation of being happy and wanting to treat myself well."
Here's Sudeikis showing off his svelte new frame at Spike TV's Guys Choice Awards last month:
And here he is at the ESPY Awards in 2010:
And with his former "Saturday Night Live" co-stars in 2009:

HEXA is simply a popular synthetic growth hormone that comprises of six amino acids that boast of having very powerful properties of being able to released growth hormone in the body. This secretagogue ideally works through stimulation of the human body to effectively produce its growth hormone all by its own. According to the findings reported by researchers, hexarelin seems not to cause any interference on the ability of the body to produce growth hormone on its own after it has stopped using the product even more studies are still needed to verify this.
A recently carried out study for 16 weeks showed that when this peptide was used in the research subjects, they were able to experienced normalized levels of gh in their body within a period of weeks after stopping using it. Such researches regarding different peptides like GHRP and now this one shows that there are great hopes that these peptides will benefit humans in a great way in the future. Many researchers credit growth hormone with increased size of the muscles and ability to create new muscle cells and also assisting people achieve that much desired youthful appearance. However, this is yet to be proved as the case and numerous researches are now underway to verify this information.
In particular, HEXA has been credited for its ability to accelerate healing of injuries sustained on the body as well as some topnotch cardiac benefits.
