A new way of checking for ovulation is now available, which involves testing saliva instead of urine. The increased estrogen levels that occur around the time of ovulation cause the saliva to form a crystallized pattern upon drying. Both the tried-and-true urine tests and the new saliva tests are equally accurate at predicting ovulation. The saliva kit is a bit pricier at about $60, but you can use it for up to one year.

Agents from the FBI and U.S. Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms stormed, bombed and robbed the home of the Devil's Diciples national vice president early Thursday, taking papers, pictures and a motorcycle.

The clubhouse of the Devil's Diciples was also raided simultaneously. Both the headquarters, located at 43653 N. Gratiot Ave., and the home, at 20409 Webster, are located in Clinton Township. No one was arrested.

Neighbors said they were surprised to see dozons of men wearing jackets with the letters FBI and ATF/POLICE emblazoned on the backs.

"I don't know what they wanted because we never do anything wrong or illegal," said Roxanne Roll, who owns the house with her husband, Kenneth Brian "Spike" Roll, the national vice president of the Devil's Diciples. "They woke me from sleep by ramming the door and then firing some kind of shot. "I was scared to death."

The search warrant indicated that authorities were looking for jewelry, gems, precious metals, pictures, foreign documents, credit card receipts, national travel vouchers, cellular phone bills, etc.

Federal Agents carried out boxes of paperwork, canceled checks, pictures, flags, etc.

Even though they should have known Kenneth Roll was at work if they had done any investigating at all, Federal authorities burst into the Roll house at 6 a.m. Thursday by ramming the front door with a battering ram. They threw a concussion bomb inside which exploded waking Mrs. Roll who was home alone and sleeping.

 

 

Word of the Day

vilipend \VIH-luh-pend\ verb

*1 : to hold or treat as of little worth or account : contemn
2 : to express a low opinion of : disparage
Example sentence:
As a women's movement pioneer, Susan B. Anthony fought against the dictums of those who would vilipend women by treating them as second-class citizens.
Did you know?
"Vilipend" first appeared in English in the 15th century and comes to us through French from the Latin roots "vilis," meaning "cheap" or "vile," plus "pendere," meaning "to weigh," "to estimate," or "to cause to hang." These roots work in tandem to form a meaning of "to deem to be of little worth." Both of those roots have weighed in heavily as a source of common English words. Other "vilis" offspring include "vile" and "vilify," while "pendere" has spawned such terms as "append," "expend," and "suspend."
