I am a 43 yo woman who is currently experiencing perimenopause. I have seen a regular Dr. and was given a clean bill of health. But I have been diagnosed with iron deficiency anemia. Currently I am taking floradix for that and blackstrap molasses.
My GYN was pushing the Mirena IUD for me. Or a D+C/uterine ablation. Which none of those are on option for me. I do not want any artificial hormones or surgeries unless it is life or death.
Because I am now spotting 4-5 days prior to my periods, and get my period for 5-6 days, I really only have about 2 to 2 1/2 weeks in between before I start spotting again.
And I also get really bad ctamping when I spot.
I would like to get some information on natural ways to regulate my hormones. I am pretty sure my progesterone drops rapidy which is why I spot for days prior to my periods.
I have looked into Natural Progesterone, but I am not sure I would like to go that route yet.
How about Red Rasberry Leaf pills? Or Wild Yam Root pills? Can you use both of these together?
I take prescription meds for now, for high blood pressure, IBS and depression. So I need to make sure nothing interacts.
I also take vitamins. A multi-vitamin, Vitamin C, D, B12, Garlic, and Omega 3-6-9.
I would love to get advice on some medicinal herbs or holistic methods for my menstrual problems.

Charting new territory
Using information previously gathered by the CHS, we anchored the Laurier last night near Erebus Bay at the edge of the known soundings. From here, it is entirely uncharted. Gannet and Kinglett were dispatched early this morning and tasked with charting a safe corridor for the Laurier to participate in the seabed surveying. The Investigator also headed out in the early morning to begin its surveys, while the Nunavut archaeologists spent a full day in Erebus Bay where they mapped and conducted new excavations at an Inuit site located a short distance from the place where a ship's boat from the Franklin expedition was discovered in 1859. This site contains a large number of artifacts resulting from the dismantling by Inuit of the ship's boat to acquire useful materials, particularly metal (iron and copper) and wood.
Morning temperatures remained above freezing, with mild winds of about 10 knots and clear skies. Ice conditions in the area were variable with smaller floes distributed across the waters until the early afternoon. We remained fixed in position throughout much of the day, although the anchor was raised briefly and the ship repositioned to avoid large floes moving through the area.

You’ve decided you’d prefer to consider an escorted tour to Peru, but which business need to you travel with? An upscale organization with a properly identified brand or a smaller tour organization with a much more personalized method?
So considerably relies upon on your very own journey type, your expectations and your funds. But beware of the “cookie cutter” tour, exactly where big teams of vacationers are shuttled from spot to spot subsequent a tired itinerary, frequently housed in lodges on the outskirts of town and consuming meals that don’t frequently showcase the region’s ideal delicacies.
As a Qualified Intercontinental Tour Director, I’ve carried out excursions of different good quality for several distinct organizations, and the most high-priced tours did not always indicate they had been the ideal. נערות ליווי understands the wants of its vacationers. They have integrated the most recent tendencies into their itineraries and they do their very best to assist you knowledge and define the culture you happen to be going to.
A lot of of the even bigger tour companies are encountering a fantastic quantity of competitors from smaller sized companies that give the traveler a far more defined expertise: more compact teams, a lot more hands on experiences, greater meals and resorts that are positioned in the center of a location fairly than on the outskirts of town. Several of these larger firms have commenced scaled-down brands to accommodate the traveler who wants to get absent from “cookie cutter” excursions.
It will take a bit of analysis to find a tour that is proper for you. Google a number of businesses underneath the lookup term “escorted excursions to Peru” and seem intently at the adhering to standards:
Itinerary: Are they supplying the attractions you have on your would like listing, and how a lot time do they enable at every? Numerous tours that bring you to Machu Picchu only offer you an afternoon at the website—way way too small time in my impression. If your life’s desire is to go to Machu Picchu, a handful of hours in the ruins isn’t really going to cut it. Appear for a tour that offers an right away possibility at a lodge close to the site. Your go is excellent for the complete working day, and numerous site visitors take pleasure in getting additional time to wander a mile on the Inca Trail or slowly and gradually walk the internet site for photo chances. A handful of tour organizations provide a pass for the following day as properly, so you can view the dawn over the ruins or commit a couple of several hours taking a single previous excursion to the site just before the teach leaves for Cusco in the afternoon. I also recommend locating a company that delivers a guided tour by an knowledgeable Peruvian manual as soon as you get to the internet site, so you can greater realize what you are looking at.
Other should-see objects on a Machu Picchu itinerary incorporate the Sacred Valley, the ruins in and close to Cusco, the Pisac market, and the churches of Cusco. Past the must-see points of interest, what else are they offering? Search for something special, like a pesonalized tour via a museum by the curator, a Paso horse demonstrate and lunch at a hacienda in Lima, a cooking class, or a lecture by an archaeologist. You are seeking for a firm that actually has a enthusiasm for the region. You will recognize that all tour businesses have the very same prerequisite stops and points of interest on their itineraries, so search for something specific– something that showcases their enthusiasm and information of Peru.
Hotels: If you are scheduling a Machu Picchu tour, you want to uncover a firm that characteristics accommodations in the middle of Cusco. It is a fascinating town, wealthy in eating places and buying, so be sure to locate a business that textbooks hotels as close to the middle of town as attainable. Your lodge in Lima must be somewhere close to Miraflores–on the outskirts of the city, as that is where the upscale–and risk-free–hotels are situated. I can’t underscore how crucial it is to truly look at the hotels that are getting presented. Read through reviews on Vacation Advisor. Inquire a lot of questions from your tour business. Accommodations in Peru are considerably more affordable than their American and European counterparts, and if you are finding an upscale and much more costly tour, you want to be confident you are obtaining your money’s worth. There is nothing far better than coming home from a occupied working day at large altitude and getting a scorching shower and a good bed to get into. Numerous hotels are now supplying multi-evening stays at the very same lodge—and I am a wonderful believer that this makes for a much better tour. People like to make their lodge rooms their “residence,” hold up their outfits, and go away their toothbrush on the sink. Several tour firms do an right away in the Sacred Valley rather than return back to Cusco. I favor to occur back again to Cusco fairly than have my travellers adjust lodges.
Meals: Look closely at how many meals are integrated. Very good tour organizations will realize the importance of groups possessing supper jointly for a bulk of the evenings on tour. Dinners provide teams collectively, and it is a great food for a company to showcase their information and knowing of Peruvian cuisine. How numerous foods does the firm offer? Get in touch with and inquire about the eating places and do a minor research. And you should remember how critical it is for the restaurants to be very carefully chosen. It is not unheard of for tourists to have abdomen or intestinal problems on tour in Peru. This is not fully since the foods is “poor” in this region than it is the big difference in microorganisms. A excellent tour business will have experimented with and true restaurants on their itinerary. Food is considerably less costly in Peru, and a excellent tour firm will integrate meals that showcase the cuisine in thoroughly clean and well believed of dining places.
Cost-free Time: There is a plethora of superb purchasing in Peru, and the Peruvians are recognized for the handmade crafts and artisan abilities. You might be likely to want totally free time to roam the streets of Cusco, take in museums or galleries, or have some coca tea–the tea that cures each ill in Peru–on a patio cafe on your very own. Not only is totally free time critical for your very own pursuits, but it also provides you time to slow down and take pleasure in the culture, instead than be hurried by means of it. I have been on dozens of tours the place the encounter gets a blur, passengers are fatigued and overworked and located on their own wishing for some time by yourself. Observing an spot with your own eyes is an essential portion of traveling–whether you’re with a tour organization or not.
The much less time in Lima, the better: Lima has its charms, but you really only need to have a day to conquer it. Most individuals traveling into Lima are on their way to somewhere else. Do not select a firm that includes a lot more than a working day of sightseeing there it isn’t necessary.
I know what you might be considering: I’m deciding on an escorted tour so I will not have to do the research! But if you take a tiny time to delve into the itineraries, resorts and restaurants employed by the firms you’re contemplating, it will make for a much more gratifying journey.

The war in Afghanistan is nearly 10 years old. Thousands of Afghan civilians and hundreds of British troops have been killed in what is widely acknowledged to be an unwinnable and unjust war. On top this the war is wracking up huge financial costs at a time of drastic cuts to welfare and public servcies. £4.5 billion a year is currently spent on the war, the same amount that is being cut from public sector pensions.
And while the government and mainstream media would like to make out that the war is winding down, these costs, on all fronts, are rising. Casualty rates are at their highest since the war began and the budget for the war grows year on year. In just over 2 minutes this video charts the rising costs in human life and billions of pounds.

Local band kicks-off Splendour 2017 with a bang
WHARVES is a rock-indie band based in Lennox Head that only formed in 2015.
The band was offered the opportunity to open up music proceedings at Splendour in the Grass 2017 through Triple J Unearthed, local bands as PLTS and Skeggs did in previous years.
Fresh off their biggest gig ever, in the biggest stage they have ever played, two of the band members, Michael Watson and Fraser Perrott, were unable to contain their excitement.
"This is the biggest show we have played by far, biggest stage, biggest crowd, biggest sound, the most time we have put into a show," said Watson.
"I feel relieved but I just want to get back on stage," he said.
"I just want more, as soon as we finished the set my first feeling was 'I want to pay more festivals!'," said Fraser Perrott.
Not bad for a band of graduates from SCU and SAE's music diplomas who played their first ever gig as a band in Lennox Head in 2015.
"Our first gig was in 2015 at the Love Lennox festival, we had around 20 people and it rained on us," said Watson.
The band played Man You Want me to Be, their latest single, as part of their Splendour set, plus previous releases All My Dreams and It's You, and a couple of unreleased songs the band had never played on stage before.
The show marks the end of an intense four-week period for the band preparing for the 30-minute show, mostly rehearsing at Watson's parents place in Lennox Head.
"We even tried to avoid booking many social occasions, we booked a third more time of rehearsals than we normally do," Fraser Perrott said.
Michael Watson said the band got extra support to ensure their show was top notch.
"My former SAE lecturer, James Bundy, contacted us and said he would love to so sound for us," the musician said.
"(Bundy) has done sound here at Splendour for local bands before so he gave us the low down and without him we would have been lost."

BAGHDAD, April 25 (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton made an unannounced visit to Iraq today and said she saw no sign that the country was sliding back into sectarian warfare despite recent suicide bombings.
Making her first trip to Iraq as secretary of state, Clinton said the United States would keep supporting the Iraqi government as Washington prepares to withdraw all its troops from the country by the end of 2011.
Clinton landed on a military transport plane a day after two female suicide bombers blew themselves up outside a Shi'ite Muslim shrine in Baghdad, killing 60 people in the deadliest single incident in Iraq in more than 10 months.
|Two women leave the vicinity following a twin suicide attack close to the Imam Musa al-Kadhim mosque in the mainly Shiite Muslim district of Kadhimiya in northern Baghdad on April 24. AFP
It was the third major attack in two days, bringing the two-day death toll to at least 150 people.
Recent high-casualty attacks have fanned fears of a resurgence in violence. President Barack Obama has ordered U.S. combat troops to prepare to pull out of Iraqi cities in June and there are doubts about the effectiveness of Iraqi forces.
Asked if the latest bloodshed could rekindle sectarian warfare, Clinton replied: "I see no signs of that at this time. "I think the suicide bombings ... are, in an unfortunately tragic way, a signal that the rejectionists fear that Iraq is going in the right direction," she added, speaking to reporters in Kuwait late on Friday before flying to Baghdad on Saturday.
Clinton noted that the worst single attack in the Northern Ireland conflict -- an August 1998 car bomb that killed 29 people in the town of Omagh -- occurred after the 1998 Good Friday accord that largely ended the sectarian struggle.
She suggested the nation had turned a corner and that Iraqi society had wearied of the violence. "In any conflict, there comes a point -- sometimes it's far later than we would wish -- where a critical mass of people on all sides just say 'enough,'" she said.
In a whirlwind visit, Clinton plans to meet Iraqi President Jalal Talabani and Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, to be briefed by Gen. Ray Odierno, the U.S. commander in Iraq, and to meet privately with a group of Iraqi women.


Virtua Fighter has a chance for the future after Virtua Fighter 5: Ultimate Showdown
Released in June 2021, new version of fighting game Virtua Fighter 5 sold much better than Sega expected, and now company is thinking about future of series.
The producer of the game Seiji Aoki told Japanese journalists about this.
According to Aoki, by releasing Virtua Fighter 5: Ultimate Showdown, Sega wanted to remind a wide audience about the brand and "test the ground". They did not expect strong commercial results from the release, so they immediately gave it away for free to PlayStation Plus subscribers, but in the end the fighting game exceeded all the publisher's expectations. Specific figures are not called, but the developers are happy.
Japanese journalists believe that all this increases the chances of developing Virtua Fighter 6.
Aoki himself answered the question about the likelihood of a new game with cautious optimism. According to him, the popularity of Virtua Fighter 5: Ultimate Showdown may indicate the "potential viability" of the new part of the series in the conditions of the modern market.
"Sega is now thinking very carefully about whether it is worth starting work on a new game. Production will take several years, but now it is difficult to predict how long the new wave of interest in Virtua Fighter will continue and what will be popular in these few years."
The current plan is to further support Virtua Fighter 5: Ultimate Showdown. Sega has worked out a roadmap for updates for the whole of next year. She is also considering porting the game to a PC — relevant requests from users are often received.
The original Virtua Fighter 5 was released in 2007 on PlayStation 3.

How do you pick a lock with everyday items?
Ideal choices include a small screwdriver or hex wrench, a hair pin, or a heavy-duty paperclip. You can even use a bamboo skewer from the kitchen, or a cotton swab with the fluff removed from one end. If using a hair pin or paper clip, first bend it open so you have a long, straight bit of metal.

There are many ways in which lock picking can permanently damage a lock. Several common ways include breaking the springs, eroding internal components, or even breaking your pick in the keyway.
How do you pick a lock for beginners?
The easiest way to pick a lock is to use the fast and dirty method: scrubbing.
- Insert Tension Wrench into the Bottom of Key Hole and Apply Slight Pressure.
- Insert Pick at Top of Lock.
- While Applying Slight Torque to Your Wrench, Scrub Your Pick Back and Forth in the Key Hole.
- Repeat Until All the Pins Set.
How do you unlock a door without a key?
Use a butter knife. In the absence of a professional lock pick, a butter knife can be turned into a makeshift lock pick and be used to unlock closed doors without keys. But before you can use the butter knife, you will have to work on it and transform it into an improvised lock picker.
How to pick a key lock?
Insert Tension Wrench into the Bottom of Key Hole and Apply Slight Pressure. The tension wrench is the key (no pun intended) to successfully picking a lock.
How do you pick a mailbox lock?
Hold the long end of the lever between your fingers. Once the lever is inside the lock, press the long end of the lever in the direction you would turn the key to unlock your mailbox. While you’re picking the lock, continue to press the lever in this direction to apply pressure to the barrel of the lock.
How to pick a locker lock?
To pick the lock, slide the pick underneath the first pin, which will be the first obstacle in the top of the lock, and push it all the way up. Then, work your pick forward a little until you reach the second pin. Giggle your pick up and down until you get underneath the second pin, then lift it up.


Since 2001, Oceana has achieved dozens of concrete policy victories for marine life and habitats. From stopping bottom trawling in sensitive habitat areas to protecting sea turtles from commercial fishing gear, our victories represent a new hope for the world’s oceans.
Fifteen years after the UN passed an international moratorium on driftnets, and seven years after the EU instituted a ban, Morocco has passed an amendment banning the use, possession, manufacture or sale of driftnets. The penalty for breaking Morocco’s new law ranges from three months to one year in prison and fines between approximately $550 and $110,000. Oceana has been working in Europe for years to stop the use of this illegal fishing gear in the Mediterranean.
After continuous campaign work by Oceana, in early June the European Commission closed the bluefin tuna purse seine fishery early for a third year in a row, further confirming the overcapacity of the fishing fleet. The assigned quota was reached one week earlier than expected, and the Commission’s decision came despite the fleet reduction plans implemented and the absence of the Italian fleet in the seas.
Bluefin tuna stocks are nearing collapse due to overfishing and illegal fishing; stocks have decreased by 80% from existing levels before the industrial fishing era.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) approved a plan to protect more than 23,000 square miles of known deep sea coral from North Carolina to Florida from destructive fishing gear. The plan, proposed by the South Atlantic Fishery Management Council in September 2009, will ban the use of bottom-damaging fishing gear in the largest known area of healthy deep sea coral ecosystems in the world, helping to ensure the productivity of commercial fisheries that depend on them.Read Press Release
In response to two petitions submitted in 2007 by Oceana, the Center for Biological Diversity and the Turtle Island Restoration Network, the National Marine Fisheries Service and the Fish and Wildlife Service issued a proposed rule to change the status of North Pacific and Northwest Atlantic loggerhead sea turtles from “threatened” to “endangered” under the Endangered Species Act.
The government also proposed listing loggerhead sea turtles around the globe as nine separate populations, each with its own threatened or endangered status.Read Press Release
As a direct result of Oceana’s campaign work to reform the Chilean salmon aquaculture industry, the Chilean Congress passed legislation to prevent the escape of farmed salmon and further regulate the use of antibiotics in salmon aquaculture.
The reform criminalizes farmed salmon escapes and imposes hefty fines as well as prison sentences for violators. It also bans the preventive use of antibiotics, and requires companies to make public the amounts and types of antibiotics they use, in addition to their specific prescribed use. Oceana has been working since 2007 to convince Chile to restrict the use of antibiotics in salmon farming.
Belize’s Ministry of Fisheries agreed to stop issuing fishing licenses to foreign fishing fleets in the country’s waters pending consultation with local fishermen. The decision came after Jamaican trawlers entered Belize’s southern waters in December, when Oceana called on the government of Belize to suspend all plans and proposals to allow foreign fleets in territorial waters.
The South Atlantic Fishery Management Council approved a plan to protect more than 23,000 square miles of known deep-sea coral from North Carolina to Florida from destructive fishing gear. Five years in the making, the vote will restrict the footprint of bottom trawls – one of the most nonselective fishing gears currently in use, capable of destroying thousand-year-old coral reefs and moving 18-ton rocks – and help to restore the long-term productivity of commercially valuable fish that take refuge in these rare corals.Read Press Release
The Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council took its final step in an effort to protect threatened sea turtles from the bottom longline sector of the Gulf of Mexico reef fish fishery. Specifically, the Council voted to close all bottom longline fishing shoreward of 35 fathoms (approximately 210 feet) from June to August, a time when large numbers of loggerheads were caught in previous years, and to restrict longline fishing of all vessels that have a history of catching at least 40,000 lbs of reef fish each year.Read Press Release
Federal policymakers released the final regulations banning all fishing for krill in U.S. Pacific waters of California, Oregon and Washington. This action was led by Oceana and others and has had strong support from scientists, conservationists, fishermen, coastal businesses and local communities.Read Press Release
The Oregon state legislature passed a bill to establish Oregon’s first two marine reserves and a protected area in its coastal waters, and defined a two year process to evaluate and implement additional areas to build a network of protected areas and reserves. Oceana worked to identify the Important Ecological Areas off the Oregon coast and with a coalition of conservationists, scientists, and local communities, advanced a statewide proposal to protect Oregon’s coastal ocean ecosystem.Read Press Release

It’s quite exciting to arrive to an island for the first time when it’s dark. Like arriving to a magic world or another dimension it got dark like in half an hour during our boat trip from Uno. We had a walk around the town of Tsumuura where our hostel was located. Local okonomiyaki restaurant was a great place to revive two weary travelers. Okonomiyaki, yaki soba -noodles and butter fried squid made us happy campers. Good thing I get to see these small Japanese villages too. There's something in the air.
Next day the last pieces of my mind were finally blown away.
Notice the arrow.
Before stepping into the boat.
After maybe 15 minutes?!?
If you ever wondered where the sun sets.
Butter fried squid.
The town's asleep.

KUALA LUMPUR, June 22 — Former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak posted an audio recording today that was supposedly from the Bersatu supreme council meeting on February 23, with the latest featuring a speaker sounding like Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.
The clip appeared to be a discussion about the party’s possible collaboration with Umno and departure from Pakatan Harapan, during which the speaker expressed his views about ally party DAP and Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
“I don’t like DAP, I don’t like Anwar, and the rest are also like that,” the person said.
“So, it is only a matter of time, and for us to decide the time or whether we should act today.”
When the speaker put forth the matter to other attendees, they spoke in unison to push for action to be taken “today”.
The person then responded in the affirmative.
“Today, we leave Pakatan Harapan.”
This is believed to be the first leaked clip to feature this particular speaker as others released before were all of another senior Bersatu party leader.
It is also the second clip to unravel one narrative about the events that led to the collapse of the PH government, with a previous clip suggesting that Dr Mahathir’s resignation as the prime minister was unforced and part of a larger plan for Bersatu to trigger a realignment of the ruling coalition.
Dr Mahathir resigned as the prime minister late in February and later asserted that he had no choice but to do so as he lost the support of his party.
The resignation led to the collapse of the PH government and allowed Perikatan Nasional to take over control of the federal administration after Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin was appointed as the prime minister.
Dr Mahathir is mounting yet another attempt to return as the PM but support for this is divided between those backing him such as DAP and Warisan on one side and PKR that insists on Anwar being the sole candidate for the post on the other.

Nature does not adhere to borders nor do threats like climate change, so if the UK Government is serious about leaving the environment in a better state for future generations there is a clear need for coherent action from governments across the UK. Today, my colleagues John Martin and Jane Clarke offer their thoughts on the environmental implications of the welcome return of the Northern Ireland Assembly.
John Martin: Head of Policy and Advocacy, RSPB NI
The Northern Ireland Assembly has agreed a deal which has restored devolved powers to the Northern Ireland Executive after a 1090 days hiatus. The draft Deal, entitled ‘New Decade New Approach’ was approved by the Parties on Friday 10th of January and approved by the Northern Ireland Assembly on its first sitting on Saturday the 11th of January.
The deal includes some long sought environmental commitments such as Climate Change Legislation, the creation of an Independent Environmental Protection Agency, action on plastics and a Green New Deal and Energy Strategy which will seek to drive down carbon emissions and set NI on a sustainable footing.
The ‘New Decade New Approach’ does not however mention the developing Environment Strategy, which is currently being consulted on, however it does leave the door open for the inclusion of ‘other strategies’ and we will be insisting the Environment Strategy is one. RSPB NI have issued a statement supporting the return of devolved powers to the NI Assembly and the aspirations of ‘New Decade New Approach’ which you can see here. We have also been using this as an opportunity to continue to gather support for our e-action with key asks and would encourage everyone, around the UK, to complete. The environmental delivery in the UK is only as strong as its weakest part.
Jane Clarke: Nature Protection Policy Officer
As reported previously, the Westminster Environment Bill has upped the ante on the UK’s response to environmental issues and reveals the desire to maintain environmental standards and international obligations after EU exit day.
It is clear that a step change across all four home nations is required. Biodiversity does not adhere to borders, so if the UK is serious about leaving the environment in a better state for future generations there is a clear need for coherent action from devolved decision-makers. Hence, the success of the UK’s actions will ultimately be limited by the worst member(s).
Northern Ireland is named within the Environment Bill, and it will be up to the new Minister to decide if it will apply. Therefore, taking into account its uniquely transboundary characteristics, Northern Ireland represents a weak link in the UK’s chain of post-Brexit environmental legislation and governance.
As mentioned above, the New Decade New Approach deal does contain some excellent environmental commitments however neglects the inclusion of the developing Environment Strategy. The Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (DAERA) is currently seeking the views of the public on Northern Ireland’s first Environment Strategy. The strategy describes NIs environment as our most important asset and seeks to address the elements that are under threat now and how we can make things better for future generations. The strategy is asking for our big ideas to help address some of these threats.
RSPB NI’s big Ideas include:
RSPB NI has launched an e-action and we need you to take part- HERE. We believe that if the Strategy includes the measures we propose, then we will give nature a fighting chance to recover. We hope that as many people as possible will support us in ensuring the DAERA Minister includes these policies in the Strategy and the developing Programme for Government so that Northern Ireland can support the UK’s future environmental legislation and governance.

February 16, 2011
During Barack Obama’s first two years in office, he and his Democrat controlled congress drove this nation from a whopping $10 Trillion in debt to over $14 Trillion in debt. A forty percent increase in national debt and almost none of the many ObamaCare federal spending mandates have even kicked into effect yet.
If we attempt to actually fund all of the Obama spending bills passed during unbridled Democrat reign in DC, the nation would end up more than $100 Trillion in debt over the next ten years.
To do that kind of mindless spending, you must have one heck of a sugar daddy. Yet, according to the latest reports, the good ole USA has just about run out of sugar daddies willing to keep funding this insanity, though that seems to have had no real impact on DC decision making.
Obama has proposed a $3.7 Trillion annual budget, roughly 26% of the entire US GDP. Obama proudly boasts that this budget is a reduction from his prior spending intentions, to the tune of about $1.1 Trillion over the next ten years, or about $100 Billion a year less than he would actually like to spend.
Republicans in the House are not much better, proposing only another $100 Billion a year in budget cuts, rejecting Obama’s budget on arrival in pursuit of that extra “savings.”
When Republicans and Obama reach their compromise, the annual budget will pass at or around $3.55 Trillion - give or take a few billion to cover Mrs. Obama’s upcoming vacations with friends and family.
Now, after all of the left and right spending cuts being proposed at present, the budget calls for yet another annual budget deficit of $1.65 Trillion… Let me be very clear here – After the proposed budget cuts, all of them, they are planning on spending $1.65 Trillion more in 2012 than they expect to take in – or add another $1.65 Trillion to the $15+ Trillion debt we will have at the end of 2011 – bringing our debt to above $16.65 Trillion by the end of 2012.
Republicans are fighting to cut that number to only $1.55 Trillion in deficit spending in 2012. Listen closely…. NOBODY plans on balancing the federal budget anytime soon, if ever.
But who’s our sugar daddy? Who is going to keep loaning our federal government money to run deficits as far as the eye can see?
“China, Russia, even the United Nations have suggested it is time to replace the U.S. dollar as the world reserve currency. On Thursday, CNN reported the IMF is now joining the bandwagon.”
What, our sugar daddies want to replace the US dollar as the world reserve currency? Why ever would they do that? Why have they lost confidence in the dollar?
“Apparently, with the current worldwide financial crisis, all of the bailouts and the high debt load that the U.S. is carrying, the leaders of many countries are losing confidence in the dollar and want to see something that is more globally oriented.”
So, our DC leaders, both Democrat and Republican, think that the best answer is to spend some more? Run that debt up to what? Based on today’s proposals, we will have to keep raising our debt ceiling to above $30 Trillion before 2020. Who wants to loan us that money?
How are they going to do it with no sugar daddy?
Even the president’s bi-partisan debt commission projects to continue deficit spending through the year 2035. But nobody is addressing the question of who is going to continuing loaning the USA that money and at what expense?
Some things never change – The borrower is always a slave to the lender. The federal government has been deficit spending for more than seventy-five years now, enslaving every American in those debt chains. Andrew Jackson was the last president to pay off the national debt and the federal budget has been balanced only once since then, by congressional Republicans during Bill Clinton’s second administration.
Democrat Woodrow Wilson is the grandfather of US deficit spending and Democrat FDR single handedly created the nanny state we have today. Democrat Jimmy Carter was world renowned as America’s worst president ever, until Barack Hussein Obama came along and made Jimmy Carter look like a frugal genius.
Now that social spending exceeds sixty percent of the federal budget, there is no denying that it is the socialism which is breaking our national piggy bank and Democrats are wholly responsible. But let’s face it -- Republicans are not serious about ending deficit spending and addressing the mountain of national debt either.
If you look at the presidents proposed 2012 budget, there are huge increases in every department where you find public sector unions. But with a sputtering economy and high unemployment expected to create record low tax revenue, the president whacks the Commerce (job creation) budget by forty percent. Despite projected food shortages, Obama is slashing farm subsidies. He’s taking care of his union buddies in transportation and education though…
Subscribe to the NewsWithViews Daily News Alerts!
This is no time for political compromise. This is a time for serious leadership. Congress has no real choice but to slash federal spending, not by $100 Billion, but by the $1.65 Trillion projected deficit. They are out of time to balance the federal budget, because nearly every state is equally broke and we are fresh out of sugar daddies!
British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher was right, socialism is a great idea until you run out of other people’s money – and Democrats have officially run out of other people’s money.
House Republicans must take the lead here…. Or we will all follow Obama right off the cliff!

The title track of this EP from the Maryland-based five-piece is currently on the Cross Rhythms play...The title track of this EP from the Maryland-based five-piece is currently on the Cross Rhythms playlist. With a strong female vocal and multiple guitar and synth lines they are definitely on the heavier side of rock but still very listenable. "In Her Head" jumps in at the deep end with a throbbingly heavy bass and guitar line enhanced with some raw synth and almost screamed vocals. "Let It Go" is a little more sedate but has a great guitar lick that will stick with you for years. "Last Hour" drops the pace into power rock ballad territory and is probably the stand out track, both lyrically and performance wise. The final track is a Tony Correlli remix of "Let It Go" with much less made of the guitars and drums and more of the synth and electronic drum line. An accomplished rock EP and bodes well for a full album release in the future. Reviewed by Tim Holden

The group put out its first EP in 2009, self-titled and featuring six songs, and second a year later, entitled Devil’s Poison and also made up of six songs. Let It Go, released in the summer of 2011, includes just 4 songs.
The biggest change to report in regards to the HarvestBloom sound is its all around heaviness- at least in comparison to its previous material. The overall feel to Let It Go is along the lines of guitar driven pieces from Devil’s Poison such as “Natural Compulsion” and “My Sweet Jesus” but even heavier.
Guitarist Patrick Cornette literally buries the albums first two songs, “In Her Head” and “Let It Go”, in layer after layer of rhythm guitar. While the metal edged riffs opening “In Her Head” provide a good indication of what is to follow, the group does not forsake hooks in that quite the solid melody can be found as well. A killer guitar solo rounds things out.
The albums title track brings just as much muscle but in a shorter and more explosive package: Chorus is curtly done and too the point while Anji Cornette showcases her trademark gutsy and powerful vocal style (this reviewer ranks her among the better female vocalists in the current Christian hard music scene). Craig Sibal underpins things with a grooving bass line.
“Last Hour” finds HarvestBloom tempering things slightly, in a manner similar to Devil’s Poison tracks “Unmistakable Grace” and “Blood (The Creed)”. This one finds Molly McGettrick shining with her ever present keyboards and piano, accenting what can best be described a moving and emotionally charged environs. Patrick Cornette adds another stretch of adept lead guitar.
Closing things is a remix of “Let It Go”. In addition to being roughly a minute longer, the remix places keyboards in the more forward position with some “dance” or “electronica” elements coming through in the process. A few drum loops have been added as well.
It also must be noted the fantastic production courtesy of producer Tony Correlli. As a matter of fact, everything about the project speaks of quality and attention to detail. Even the group’s promo material is professionally done (some of the finest I have seen in the five years I have run the site).
The lone complaint is that Let It Go is somewhat short in featuring only 4 songs; I wish HarvestBloom had come up with at least two more tracks to match the output of their first two EP’s. The optimal scenario, of course, would be for the group to wait a couple of years and put together enough material for a full length album instead.

Their first few recordings were kind of ho-hum female driven AOR, but they have matured very well. This latest EP is a high quality four-song memorable release for fans of Heart or Leaves Eyes. The vocals remind me a lot of Jenny Gullen of Hoi Pollio during her darker years. The mix here is sweet with lots of interesting stuff going on, leaning quite heavy on guitars. Their lyrics are very obviously gospel-centered. "Let It Go" gives us three songs with the title track remixed as an industrial/dance cut. Do check them out. This is intense.

‘Let it Go’ EP
By C.W. Ross
HarvestBloom is a Chrisitan rock band from Silver Spring, Maryland that got their start in the fall of 2007 with the mission, as they put it, “of helping to spread the Message of Grace with the tools of God inspired songs.”
The band has made a home releasing EPs (Devil’s Poison- May 2010, HarvestBloom -2009) instead of LPs. Their latest is the 4-tracks (3 plus a remix) EP is, ‘Let it Go.’
‘Let it Go,’ starts off with the hard rocking track, “In Her Head (Sarai’s Song),” that features great guitars and drum interplay along with soaring vocals.
Next up is the first radio single from the EP, the title track, “Let it Go.” The song offers up a nice mix of guitar and keyboard parts as it deals with learning patience and not being too quick to judge others around us.
Track-3, “Last Hour,” offers up an interesting mix of power ballad meets prog. rock vibe that’s found on it.
The last track is a remix of track-2's “Let it Go (TC Remix),” from the band’s producer Tony Correlli. The song offers up a dance/techno style on it that’s interesting enough to keep your attention.
HarvestBloom’s latest effort, ‘Let it Go,’ does what any good EP should, entertain and make you think while leaving you wanting more.
HarvestBloom - Devil's Poison Review

The concept of female fronted Christian hard rock is not a new one. Dating back to the late seventi...The concept of female fronted Christian hard rock is not a new one. Dating back to the late seventies and early eighties, foundational groups Resurrection Band, Barnabas and Servant showcased the vocal abilities of Wendi Kaiser, Nancy Jo Mann and Sandie Brock respectively. As the popularity of the scene grew following the commercial success of Stryper, the likes of Ransom (Lisa Faxon), Arsenal (Christine Steel), Scarlet Red (Danis) and Rosanna’s Raiders (Rosanna Palmer) became well regarded players in the burgeoning “white metal movement” of the time. Fast forward to recent years and a revival of sorts is taking place in regards to female fronted Christian hard music in that Testify (Lynn Louise Lowrey), HB (Johanna Aaltonen), Venia (Veronica Fagerlund) and Static Fuse (Sonia Sauruk) have all released albums to critical acclaim.
The latest act to report on is HarvestBloom. Hailing from Silver Springs, Maryland and featuring the vocal talents of Anji Cornette, HarvestBloom is relatively new to the scene, having formed in 2007 and debuting with a six song self-titled EP two years later. The group returns with its second EP in 2010, entitled Devil’s Poison and also encompassing six songs.
What we have in HarvestBloom is eighties influenced hard rock with a blues based edge. If you are a fan of many of the previously referenced bands, Testify, Static Fuse and Ransom in particular, then I can see HarvestBloom appealing to you. I find the group to be at its best when flexing its muscles, such as on up-tempo hard rockers “Natural Compulsion” (non-stop riff on this one) and “My Sweet Jesus” (as gutsy a piece as you will find). “Devil’s Poison” and “Angels Crying” might take a more melodic heading (almost radio friendly if you will) but still reflect the HarvestBloom penchant for the guitar driven. “Unmistakable Grace” and “Blood (The Creed)”, two tracks heading in ballad based territory but with some traditional blues and Gospel influences, reflect a more tempered side to the group’s songwriting abilities.
Anji Cornette, to put it bluntly, is a first rate talent with a serious set of pipes. I might describe her style as mixing the grit and soul of Lisa Faxon and Sonia Sauruk with some of the emotion and passion of Nancy Jo Mann and Christine Steel thrown in. It all adds up to a versatile talent that translates well with both the up-tempo pieces and those heading in a calmer direction.
The remaining HarvestBloom members are accomplished musicians. There is enough polish and skill here, in terms of both songwriting and musical aptitude, I can tell that each of the group’s members brings literally years of prior musician experience. In other words, the overall feeling put forth is of a veteran unit that has grown its licks and chops from its past musical experiences.
Standing out is keyboardist Molly McGettrick, whose accenting touch - whether it be in the form of a well timed solo or traces of organ - blends well with the musical happenings at hand. Guitarist Patrick Cornette delivers the goods as well with his weighty guitar flavorings on the albums heavier pieces but proves adept in lending an acoustic edge when called upon. The only complaint is that he does not cut loose lead guitar wise as much as he could, which is disappointing because when he does contribute a guitar solo (such as on “Angel’s Crying”) he exhibits a bluesy style reminiscent to that of Troy Thompson (Bride) or Stu Heiss (Resurrection Band).
Production values are top notch for an independent release, as is packaging. The album artwork reminds me somewhat of the Japan version of Rob Rock’s Garden Of Chaos (at least based around the same theme).
Track By Track
The album opens to one of its more melodic pieces, “Devil’s Poison”. With a big dose of the commercial leading the way, the song evenly maneuvers its low-key verses along the way to a hook laden chorus heading in the more stalwart direction. An anthem-like feel is put forth in the process. Of note, a pristine keyboard solo closes out the final minute (kind of sounds like something John Lawry would come up with).
Help me Lord
To Project my existence
With no home or protection
I did what I did
And now I have to live with it
But save me now, save me now
“Natural Compulsion” is the group’s most easily identifiable track, in that they both released it as a single and recorded a music video. Musically, it is a staunch hard rocker characterized by its punchy bass lines and slicing Rez Band style guitar riffs. Smoothing things out are some well timed vocal melodies. Anji Cornette, in particular, sings her guts out and proves in no uncertain terms that a hard rocking environs is her natural element.
Won’t you save me from myself
I’m headed for destruction
Running far away
Then I hear Your voice
It shakes me to the core
I’m on higher ground
More melody is delivered on “Angels Crying”. By far the albums most accessible, the song showcases another infectious chorus - there is almost a pop feel here (something I say in a positive sense) – with a ton of emotional energy coming through as a result. Patrick Cornette serves up the albums best stretch of lead guitar- if this is any indicator of his abilities then he should be cutting loose more often.
Walking home, with his books
A boy is taken
All he wanted was a good education
Violent gang took his life
Now mama’s broken
Shot in the head
Stop killing the children…
“My Sweet Jesus”, rating with HarvestBloom’s heaviest, delivers an in your face guitar mix (snarling, aggressive and driving- the way it should be) while adding corresponding touches of blues and groove. If Glenn Kaiser (Resurrection Band) and Dale Thompson (Bride) joined forces to write and record and album this is what it might sound like. A literal ton of heart and bottom heavy momentum anchors this reviewer’s choice track.
I need Your wisdom
Oh King Jesus
It keeps me focused
On love and mercy
You are my maker
I need forgiving
My sweet Jesus
The ballad “Unmistakable Grace” falls a bit flat. No, far from bad but does not quite bring the same energy and inspiration of the albums better material. It does not help that it is the shortest track here at just over three minutes. Nice use of acoustic elements and occasional hints of organ in the back drop. Anji sings with her trademark grit and soul as well.
And we see Your face
Through the thunder and the rain
And we boldly sing Your name
HarvestBloom gets it right on the albums second ballad based piece, “Blood (Creed).” This one succeeds with its emphasis on guts and emotion while reflecting some traditional Gospel blues flavorings. Complementing things are fitting touches of acoustic guitar and underpinning edges of rhythm guitar. As the song moves over its final minute, it breaks out with some big Gospel choir backing vocals.
Truly truly I say to you
He offers life as a gift to you
And you can have it
All you need is to believe
He gave His life on a crass at Calvary
The best way to sum up would be to state that I want to hear more- and with good reason in that a great deal of musical aptitude is exhibited by this five piece unit. In terms of specifics, I would like to encourage HarvestBloom to give us a full length effort next time around while exploring its instrumental sound a bit more (at least in terms of guitar soloing). Let’s hope they get signed to a quality label such as Retroactive, Soundmass or Roxx Produtions.

The Phantom Tollbooth http://www.tollbooth.org/2010/reviews/hbloom.html Devil's Poison (EP) ...The Phantom Tollbooth
Devil's Poison (EP)
The second EP from female-fronted rockers HarvestBloom, Devil's Poison, sees the five-piece band building on the success of its self-titled debut with six punchy, hard-hitting slabs of alternative rock. Centered around '"the struggle within and the choices we make," according to the band's bio, the EP is expertly produced by Tony Cornelli, who particularly does a marvelous job of adding bite to the guitar tones of Greg and Patrick. The lead single, "Natural Compulsion," for which the band has completed its first music video, is a searing anthem, perfect for rock and alternative radio formats.
"Angels Crying" continues the full-on sound, with Anji's vocals sometimes a little bit lost under the wall of sound. On this track, the wordy nature of the lyrics (a feature throughout the EP) means that the vocal melodies, key aspects for any song, are slightly more complex than would be ideal. HarvestBloom seems like a band with a lot to say and plenty of passion to go with it (a very good thing indeed!). If they can marry that passion with a more focused melodic approach to songwriting, then they could be on to something very special.
"My Sweet Jesus" comes next, answering all of my minor quibbles, with a shuddering riff, a shout-along chorus, and brilliant use of loops and synths to add depth and texture to the sound. By far the best song on the EP, and with a clear, worshipful bent, this is great stuff indeed.
"Unmistakeable Grace" follows the opening title track in building to a funk-filled groove with plenty of guitar goodness, all over the bedrock of another rock solid rhythm foundation and a very sweet chord progression. Closer, "Blood" ("The Creed"), something of a statement of faith, and featuring guest vocals from Nikki Lerner, is another bluesy track, and a nicely epic way to finish this EP.
What should be clear from this review is that HarvestBloom has talent--loads of it. They also know how to rock. Hard. They do, however, seem to be a band with something of a lack of identity, half a funky blues band, and half a straight up hard rock act. If they can define themselves more clearly for their next release, the potential for their passion for Jesus and His Gospel to overflow in to the ears and hearts of many people is huge. A band to check out, pray for, and watch closely in the future.

The band HARVESTBLOOM is a female fronted Christian Rock/Hardrockband from the US state of Maryland. Musically they are clearly playing high class catchy Melodic Rock with sometimes memories of LANA LANE. 6 songs are included on their new CD ‘Devil’s poison’, which has it’s highlights in the first 3 uptempo melodic rockers “Devil’s poison”, “Natural compulsion” and “Angel’s crying”. The other 3 songs are less appealing and not that strong, but all together this band really surprised me with their strong CD. The band’s female singer ANJI KALITA CORNETTE has a very strong voice and the melodies of most of the songs of HARVESTBLOOM are quite memorable. Definitely a band to check out if you’re a fan of female fronted melodic rock. More info at: http://www.myspace.com/harvestbloom

‘Devil’s Poison’ EP
By C.W. Ross
The band HarvestBloom hails from Silver Spring, Maryland forming in early 2007 but it wasn’t until early 2009 when they contacted me about reviewing their first self-titled EP that I learned about them. I liked that EP a lot giving it a very high rating- so I was happy when the band contacted me recently about their new EP, ‘Devil’s Poison’.
As soon as the first guitar noted and drum beats roared to life and the soaring rock vocals of female lead singer Anji found on ‘Devil’s Poison’ started pumping from my speakers I knew that I was going to be a happy person. The band’s sound has matured and gotten a little harder edged from their last EP, with every one of the six songs that make up this EP hitting on all rock cylinders!
The first track is also the title track, “Devil’s Poison”, a rocking song that sets the stage for what lays ahead. Lyrically the song deals with story of Cain and Abel from Cain’s perspective.
Next up is, “Natural Compulsion”, another rocking track that’s filled with big guitar and drum parts. This track is both the first radio cut from the EP along with being used to make the band’s first official music video. You can view the video at: http://www.youtube.com/harvestbloom
“Angel’s Crying”, follows next and deals with both the needless killing and lost innocence of children around the world today through, abuse, slavery and prostitution.
“My Sweet Jesus”, offers up the hardest edged rock beats that are found on this EP including a rocking guitar solo along with lyrics about having the desire to both follow and serve Jesus in your life.
“Unmistakable Grace”, deals with taking a firm stand in Jesus’ name and not being afraid to boldly share His love and message with others.
The last track, “Blood (The Creed)”, is a mix between an anthem and power ballad complete with a backing choir that adds a real richness to its end sound.
‘Devil’s Poison’ was produced by Tony Correlli (Ashes Remain and Orphan Project) of Deep End Recording Studio in Baltimore, Maryland. The band also isn’t just preaching with their words they put it into action supporting several mission efforts including donating a percentage of their record sales to several charitable organizations.
Anytime that you can rock out to some good music is nice and when that music includes powerful faith related message that makes it even better and HarvestBloom accomplishes both on their, ‘Devil’s Poison’ EP.

HarvestBloom are a female-fronted five-piece from Silver Spring, Maryland who were formed in 2007 and whose debut six track self-titled EP, released in 2009, was not without merit. But this EP is a mega, massive sound improvement. Whilst the album's title track is not the strongest, it is a good track with strong front vocals and traditional overdriven guitar backing. "Natural Compulsion" takes the same basis but enhances it big time with killer licks and sublime backing vocals making you want to hit the replay button over and over again but hold that impulse as the drum intro of "Angels Crying" follows in such a way as you think it's the same song. That is however where the similarity ends and the track stands for itself led by lyrics recounting the hurt and suffering children endure every day the whole world over, whilst a blistering guitar burns in just the right places. Every, prevention of cruelty to children organisation should use this as their theme tune to get the message home. "My Sweet Jesus" slides the rock lever into the metal mode but adding a sweet mid eight running into a driving solo, whilst "Unmistakable" switches to a Texan rock feel enhanced with vintage keys and smooth guitar. The closing track "Blood" is a fresh take on The Creed using it as an answer to the timeless question of what happens at the end. Great lyrics, powerful musicianship, massive choral backing vocals and simply sublime guitar work complete a first class release.

The EP, HarvestBloom, is 6 songs long, is about half guitar driven rock and half slower worship songs. The best track, hands down, is “Self Pity”. It kicks off with some latin-sounding mandolin, then the vocals come, then the electric guitars, bass, and drums kick in. It’s definitely the most intense song, and reminds me a lot of Petra’s old school rock songs like “Right Place”. Towards the end of the song, the mandolin comes in again, and pulls the song together nicely.
Anyway, like I said, you can download the EP for free from the band’s website, where you can also stream the songs.

This female fronted Maryland band got their start in 2007. The band’s music is rock-based songs that are often filled with lyrics of praise to the Lord.
This 6-song EP really hits the mark starting out with an interesting track called, “Burning Bush (Exodus3),” that features hard driving rock beats, with vocals that are both lyrical and involve rapping, as they read the Bible verses out.
Track-2,”Holy is His Name,” is an up tempo song that has a dance rock vibe found on it. The lyrics on it offer up a call to worship.
Track-3, “Sweet Sensation,” opens up with some nice guitar work and settles into a pop praise style song that deals with the comfort that comes from knowing, that thanks to the Lord your free and that if you grow weary the Lord is there to hold you.
Track-4, “Free,” is a rhythmic song that includes a nice guitar solo in it. The song deals with God’s love and grace. You’ll also find an extended cut version of this song that makes up track-6.
Track-5, “Self-Pity,” is the most hard-edged rock song found on the EP featuring driving guitar parts and rapid drum beats, along with gritty vocals that have a rock growl found on them. The song starts out a bit unusual with a Latin sounding mandolin part before the rock n’ roll fury starts up. The song takes on the tough subject of self-loathing.
I really liked all of the songs found on this EP, both the music and song lyrics really worked well. The band is hard at work on a full-length release that should be coming out sometime later this year.
Last but not least you can download this EP for free from the band’s website. Do yourself a big favor and get it!

Hailing from Silverspring, Maryland, this four piece consisting of two male and two female members state that their mission is to "reach those who need God and the life-giving wisdom he provides through the grace of his Son." Harvestbloom describe themselves as "Christian rock with an edge." Opening up the set on this their debut is "Burning Bush (Exodus 3)" which tells story of Moses and the burning bush, with a sound that one could describe as the Rez Band meets Evanescence. Following this is the Phatfish-sounding "Holy Is His Name" with more of a pop rock feel about it. There are two versions of "Free", one a radio cut and the other the extended version but the pop rock sound is carried on through both albeit more in a Texas style. "Self Pity" opens with lilting Spanish guitar before the bruising power chords crunch in. It is not easy to pigeonhole these rockers with a definite sound or style but with spot-on production this is an impressive first release.
Our typical set list consists of a dozen HarvestBloom originals. We do cover some songs from other Christian artists as well.
There are no upcoming dates at this time.


I would like to know the width of the rear springs, the length of the set of springs and how many leaves.
There are a few parts I need : The bottom bracket for the steering column that goes on the frame and the steering rods on the front axle.
Any help would be appreciated.
