V idiot. Testosterone has a bad reputation because of the anti doping campaigns put out by different groups through out the years. Yes "roid rage" is possible, but that is caused by athletes abusing the steroids. They will literally use 10 times the amount of normal levels. My personality is much more laid back now I have my levels back to "normal". We have no qualms about women using estrogen to keep a since of normalcy during menopause. Why should we view it differently for men wanting to keep normal levels during andropause.

A few months ago, I was in a downward spin. I was sad and having panic attacks. I finally went to the doctor. I should have done it months ago, but I was nervous about the stigmata. Yeah, I know that's not rational, but people are sometimes not rational beings. So, I go to the doctor and he asked me am I still working out because its a great way to deal with stress. I say no. I have worked out for years he found this surprising. I said it just hurts to bad now. If I hit the gym I am sore for a week. His eyes get big and he says he needs to do some blood work. I said okay and he gave me the test and told me to go home and wait for the results.
He called back a few days later and said to come into his office. I was a little nervous but he said everything was fine just come in to the office. I get there and he tells me I have low T. He said not to worry thats why we have modern medicine. I started to get injections once every two weeks. Wow. The transformation was phenomenal. Within a month, I was back to my old self. Back on top of the world. If any men are experiencing any problems it is worth looking into. I feel 18 again. I can workout with almost no soreness and can repeat a muscle group in only two days.
Also, I started running. I think I found my old man sport. I love getting to challenge myself in a new way. I am running a 5k five times a week and I am looking at my next goal of 10k.
Don't just sit there like I did in pain for another day. Get up and change your life. Go see a doctor.

Brother Knorr's Cadillac and other secret perks
by tim hooper inback when i was a wee lad, my dad told me that the brothers in brooklyn had voted to purchase a cadillac motor car for the sole use of the then president, nathan h knorr.
he'd got this information from the london bethel, him being a chum of the then branch overseer, pryce hughes and his pal ron drage.
religious leaders of non-profit sects are supposed to take a vow of poverty!.

A 402 is a lead sled. I hate them. My Baron is not as big, but I would take it over a 402 any day. I don't think a 402 has been manufactored in 30 years. It's not a bomb shell. Now if they owned a BBJ that would be a big deal.

I have one..................... Oh, I thought you wrote "Green 1961 VW Beatle" One could be fun and actually have a value. The other is a poorly written excuse for a bible translation.

Line 4100 cash. In 2006 about 50 million. In 2013 25 million. It's interesting to note in the year 2011 they started donating 10 million per year to charities. Who thinks that 30 million decline in cash on hand went to mother?

Anyone getting excited yet? My four legged partner and I are super ready. He just got back from refresher training for the last month. He caught me cleaning the shotgun and got so excited. It is so much fun watching him work the birds. I hope we have a great year.
Happy Hunting.

I took my family for a weekend trip to a lake in Oklahoma a few weeks ago. The area is right at the end of where the "Trail of Tears" (I don't know if human atrocities should be in paretheses, italics, or underlined. Yes, I have a dark sense of humor.) So we were taking a tour of an old Native American camp and listened to a presentation by a park ranger. It was very informative and interesting. Growing up I was always told that one of my ancestors a few generations ago were Native Americans. I told my children this and they were very excited and wanted to know more so I fired up the ole interweb and went to ancestory.com
It took a little while looking through old published records and I could not find any records of us being of Native American decent. Then I noticed something strange. One of my ancestors was born with one name and died with another. I looked over this quickly and didn't think about it much. I was laying in bed about to go to sleep. So I jumped up and ran to the computer to login. The person's name was Goldberg. No way right!!!!!! I was able to trace Mrs. Goldberg back several hundred years.
I was astonished. Everyone lied there was no Native American blood in our family we are semitic. It explains why every once in awhile one of us, including myself and one of my children were born with olive skin and curly hair. I always thought the olive skin tones came from the Native Americans. I grew up in a pretty redneck part of the world. I quess it would be easier to be Native American than Semitic. I am not pushing a for profit web page here, but Ancestory.com had some very interesting results for me.
I want to reasearch this more. I find this very interesting. What originally was a family trip to understand American History better turned into a trip of self discovery and a lesson on world history. My girls and I are reading all kinds of books on Jews through history. Everyday they ask if I found something else. So much fun.

I watched this video the other day and would like to add some comments.
I have a team of 3 P.Es that work for me. Sometimes, I have a few guys who will contract when things get busy. A few times a year, I may ask my guys (and gal) to work 60,70,80,90, or every hour during a week. I do not know of any established engineer where this is the norm for every week. It is harder on the younger guys, but this is called proving your worth. Almost every professional has a period of time of "over doing it".
I put myself in the bosses shoes and thought about how I would face a professional employee wanting to work when it was convenient for him. In my head, I would say F&^% off!!!!!!!! Someone telling me that would make me so angry and heres why. As a part of a team everyone must pull his or her wieght in order to get the project done on time. If I was to tell Dave it would be okay for him to cut back on his hours, I would be asking everyone else to work and be away from thier families more. Is that fair? Just because one guy's wife forgot it is her husband's long hours that pay for her very comfortable lifestyle? I damn sure wouldn't go into my personal life and tell the guy, "I wish I would have saved my family". (As a side note Ms. Defiant even with 10% less brain power than me knows where her bread is buttered. She doesn't complain about what I do. She understands what it means to our family. I am so greatful because of her support)
For any witnesses who saw this and thought, "I need to confront my boss just like this guy did." Here's what would really happen. I would tell Dave I am very sorry he feels this way. I will do everything to make it better for him. I would ask him to send me an email stating what schedule he would be able to work. (This would put him in violation of the employment agreement I have with all my employees. My agreement states you will do whatever job I ask at whatever time.) I would ask him to continue as normal for a few weeks so I could move somethings around to accommodate his request. I value his work and all of the things he has done for me and reasure him I will get on this right away. After he left my office, I would call My DO and tell him to come see me and close the door when he comes into my office. I would tell him Dave has lost his mind to his cult we need to start looking for his replacement immediately. I would keep Dave on his same schedule until I got a new person hired and trained. I would then tell Dave I am not able to meet his request as per his email. John here has no problem doing whatever I ask, whenever I ask. See you.......
I am sure someone will say that's cruel, but it is the most fair thing to everyone else but Dave. I can't throw multiple people under the bus to make his wife happy.

It seems people are trying to use differnt theories together in this post. The question must be asked within a specific construct to be answerable. Steven Hawking's "Illistrated Guide To Everything" explains this in some detail through multiple schools of thought. I think thermal dynamics answers this question the best.
One poster wrote E=MC 2 does not contain a function of time. This is false. The "c" stands for the speed of light. Speed is the measure of change in position over time. eg. 15 MPH
