LOVE this taste!

I love this pomegranate powder mixed with banana, honey, Golden berries, Gojiberries and bee pollen, frozen! Yum! It's like a healthy dessert. =) It's somewhat sticky if you get the powder on the sides of the blender, but that's about all the drawbacks I can find about this product. The taste is quite sour, but in a good way. Balanced with a bit of honey it gives a really nice zing to fruity/berry smoothies.
Totally fantastic

I LOVE this! Best product I bought on iherb. The taste is just wonderful, like candy, but an healthier alternative. I prefer to eat it directly from a spoon, but it can also be used in smoothies, yoghurts, home-made ice-cream etc.

I loved the taste, on the plus is only pomegranate and nothing else. It has a sour pure pomegranate taste. I wish I could find some recipes to incorporate it in cooking. Click on my username for more reviews! If you thought that this review was helpful please feel free to press the 'yes' button.

After reading all of the reviews of this product, I instantly had to buy it. I have to say it was a bit disappointing though. It might have something to do with the humid weather, but the powder instantly transformed into a slimy substance that attatched itself to everything, and it was hard for me to find any use for it. The taste was alright, but I didn't like the consistence of the powder once you ate it, and the aftertaste wasn't particularly nice.

|apple of discord
|Greek myth a golden apple inscribed "For the fairest" It was claimed by Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite, to whom Paris awarded it, thus beginning a chain of events that led to the Trojan War
In classical mythology, an apple of gold thrown into a banquet of the gods and goddesses by the goddess Discord, who had not been invited. The apple had "For the Fairest" written on it. When three goddesses claimed it, the choice among them was referred to the handsome Paris, prince of Troy. (See Judgment of Paris.)

It's dangerous for a democracy to always be at war. Is there any end to these wars – our war on terrorism, on Iraq and Libya, and now possibly Iran, not to mention our drone missile strikes in numerous other countries?
None of these adversaries threaten the existence of the United States. In fact, terrorism is a strategy of the weak, those without effective armies.
In George Orwell's well-known novel, "1984," Big Brother's totalitarian government must always have an enemy to hate and fear, even if the enemy keeps changing.
This tactic keeps the populace cowed. A permanent military – and the permanent wars it brings – was what Presidents (and former generals) George Washington and Dwight Eisenhower wisely warned us against. Such wars, and their adulation, weaken democratic institutions. They leave us with only one party, the war party.
Republicans and Democrats fear to challenge our wars, believing that war support is their only popular, politically sustainable position. Thus, there is no effective opposition to our expansive militarism and perpetual wars.
The Iraq war, launched with our 2003 invasion, is the most illegitimate. It had nothing to do with terrorism. Iraq had no nuclear weapons and was not a threat to the United States. Yet the Bush administration claimed all those reasons for war, and both parties and our press colluded with those dishonest rationales.
Neither the Obama administration nor Congress will review this shameful action, which cost 5,000 American lives and hundreds of thousands of Iraqi lives.
Now we are poising a parallel threat to attack Iran, claiming the same excuse – that it might produce a nuclear weapon. Iran is no threat to us, with or without atomic weapons, and even if it gets such a weapon, we do not have the right to attack it.
If we fear nuclear proliferation, we should be calling for nuclear disarmament across the Middle East, including Israel (about 200 atomic weapons) and Pakistan. And we should be following through with gradual nuclear disarmament in parallel with that of the other major nuclear powers, under the supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency.
Many American leaders, such as Henry Kissinger, urge this course to ensure world safety from some future holocaust.
These wars, one after the other, but particularly the war against terrorism, have no boundaries or time limit.
We are currently using drones, controlled from the United States, to kill supposed al-Qaida leaders in Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia and other countries, often along with many bystanders. President Obama and his advisers claim the right to choose whom to kill. There is no review of these actions, public or private.
These targets are chosen because of some future acts they might commit, hardly a good legal justification. Many argue that this policy is creating more terrorists and certainly more hatred of the United States, especially in Pakistan, where there is widespread fear of and anger about the American drones always waiting overhead, menacingly, in their skies.
The Taliban, whom we war against in Afghanistan, are not international terrorists; just an insurgency, however brutal.
We successfully arrested and convicted the 1993 World Trade Center bombers, without starting a general war, and have used our civilian courts in the past 10 years to convict a number of terrorists.
Sadly, we have violated our constitutional and human rights commitments by using torture, assassinations and indefinite detentions, not the legal processes and courts.
Half the prisoners held in Guantanamo, often now for more than 10 years, are innocent, as were many we held and tortured elsewhere.
The suspected main instigators of the 9/11 attacks should have been tried long ago, and in our civilian courts.
Our military has established an ominous African command, and our leaders have become more confrontational with Russia and China. We are thus increasing future areas of military conflict.
We have at least doubled our military budget in the past 15 years, and it is larger ($711 billion in 2011) than that of all the next 13 countries' military budgets. We would be much stronger overall if we spent more of this fixing our transportation, bridges, water and sewer systems, schools and such.
We could better use the work of our military personnel in creating for them, and others, well-paid civilian jobs repairing these needed vital interests at home. Many are in the military because it provides the only chance for jobs with decent benefits, whatever the hazards.
We are diverting huge amounts of our resources to wars while allowing our country and economy to fall into disrepair. Our leaders are all too ready to compromise Social Security and Medicare while proudly spending more on the military.

NCEAS Project 11961
Food quality effects on ecological efficiency at multiple scales in aquatic systems
- Kimberly L. Schulz
|Further Information
|Sabbatical Fellow
|1st August 2007—31st July 2008
|Participant List
I am interested in how the biochemical composition of food ('food quality') affects the performance and fitness of consumers, and how these nutritional effects on individuals translate to higher ecological levels such as population dynamics, community composition, and trophic transfer efficiency. Often, work on different aspects of food quality (e.g., nutrient content -- 'stoichiometry', essential fatty acid composition, protein content) has been done in disparate disciplines (e.g., limnology and aquaculture). I propose a sabbatical leave at NCEAS to (1) compile and synthesize data on the effects of several food quality parameters on different consumers in aquatic systems, and then to (2) compare predictions from these individual- level analyses to patterns of the consumers' abundance and distribution, to determine how important nutritional constraints may be in nature.

CYPRESS, Texas — A 20-year-old student who told police he had fantasized for years about stabbing people to death went on a rampage with a knife at a suburban Houston community college, hurting more than a dozen people, authorities said.
The Harris County Sheriff's Office said that about 11:20 a.m. Tuesday, Dylan Quick began a building-to-building rampage with a razor-like knife at the Lone Star Community College System in Cypress. He wounded at least 14 people.
Neighbors said he was a shy young man who would say hello when he took out the trash and helped his parents tend the yard, though he rarely came out alone.
"I can't imagine what would have happened to that young man to make him do something like this. He is very normal," said Magdalena Lopez, 48, who has lived across the street from the Quick family for 15 years.
The Quicks were friendly and fit in well with the other families on the block of brick, ranch-style homes. Most were aware that Quick is deaf. A street sign, "Deaf Child In Area," was posted on the block to warn drivers.
"I can't believe he would do it," Lopez added.
But hours after the stabbing attack, Quick was charged with three counts of aggravated assault, and the statement from the sheriff's office said pieces of the blade used in the attack were found in at least one victim and at the scene of the attack. A knife handle was found in a backpack Quick was carrying when he was arrested. Authorities were seen leaving Quick's parents' home with two brown paper bags.
No one answered the door or the phone at the red brick home, though two vehicles were parked in the driveway, one of them a Honda Accord with a license plate that read "DYLAN." It was not immediately known if Quick has an attorney.

Tryouts have been set for the Dawson Community College volleyball team. Coach John Marble invites all high school players to join the Lady Buccaneers at the Toepke Center at 2 p.m. Feb. 8. "It's a great opportunity to get in the gym and play and get information on what it's like to play in college," he said. "It's a chance to see firsthand what college athletics is all about."
Players will perform both individual skills and team drills, along with physical testing in areas such as speed and vertical. "This is a great chance to show off their abilities," Marble said, adding that the tryout is not limited to just this year's seniors, but younger players who may have an interest in collegiate volleyball are welcome as well. He said he hopes to see local participation. "We really encourage players from the area to come out," he said. "We're always looking to represent Eastern Montana on our roster." While there are several returners on the roster for the fall, Marble said he welcomes players for all positions. "We can always use middles, and we're down two setters," he said, adding, "We really need players that can control the ball. We need people that can pass and play defense."
The tryouts are set in conjunction with DCC's Campus View Day, where prospective students are invited to campus to sample a day of college life.
More information on view day and the Buccaneer volleyball team is available online at www.dawson.edu. The Buccaneer volleyball team also has a fan page on Facebook. Marble can also be reached by calling (406) 377-9498.
The Lady Buccaneers compete in the Mon-Dak conference and the National Junior College Athletic Association¹s Region IX North conference, which includes teams from Wyoming and Montana. The program is entering its third year at DCC.

I write about my life and business lessons.
As entrepreneurs, we felt your pain in 2012. It was a year of challenges, uncertainty, growth and miracles. The Sandy Hurricane, world tragedies, and, closer to home, several babies born within the Fishbowl family with serious and severe health concerns. Thankfully each of them are now doing great.
Despite the challenges, however, our high growth continued in 2012. Our milestones were strong – we received a Red Herring Global 100 win, Inc. 500/5000 status for the fifth consecutive year, and we received an Inc. "Hire Power" Award for creation of new jobs, which was an acknowledgement that had high and personal meaning for us.
As we look forward, here's our wish list for 2013:
1 – I wish for continued high growth, and that market conditions will be conducive enough to small and growing businesses to keep our own business model growing and progressing as well.
2—I wish for the fastest and best possible growth for our company's captains. These individuals are literally the co-owners of our company as we have enacted the stock ownership that resulted from our company buyback in May of 2010. I wish for the growth in these emerging leaders to make this opportunity all that it can possibly be.
3—I wish and hope for strength and success for our customers. We now include some 65,000 users in our circles at the close of 2012. I would love to anticipate we could participate with and influence as many as double that number by the conclusion of 2013.
To a great degree, I fear nothing. I say this as someone who's faced multiple business challenges already (Inc. has even documented some of them). We spend a great deal of energy reinforcing our ability to be fearless at Fishbowl. So in that respect – yes, I am fearless, and I will boldly say that all 100 of my team are fearless as well.
However, at another level, knowing the ways that unknowns can affect our business (for example, a single occurrence such as Hurricane Sandy, on the other side of the U.S., if badly timed can fall directly into the buying cycle of our business) is the kind of challenge we need to be perpetually prepared to address.
I will openly admit that seeing my book listed for pre-order on Amazon – and then on Barnes and Noble—startled me all the way down to my shoes. (Don't ask my daughter what I said when she pointed it out.) Admittedly, at least momentarily, the realization of that commitment and what it means, gave me an instant of "what have I done" panic and shock.
There are company members and family members facing severe and real health challenges. Tragedies and misfortunes happen. But there's nothing that can happen that our ability to survive can't surpass.
My biggest business fear, as always, lies within myself—the fear of letting down the people I care about most-–my family, our employees/co-owners, and our company's partners—in any respect. I consider that fear a healthy challenge to do all within my power to be sure those outcomes do not come to pass, or in any instance that they do, a challenge to have the courage and strength to take immediate action.
We have adopted the Agile Extreme process throughout our company. While most people are busy in the last few days of the year creating New Year Resolutions, we pause for a moment and reflect on what we have learned. The dictionary defines retrospective as "an art exhibit showing an entire phase or representative examples of an artist's lifework."
The "retrospective" is where our magic is discovered. Many of us in business are eager right now to set new goals. We have all mastered "efficiency". This year, President Mary Scott and I decided to try something new at Fishbowl. We are going to forego starting the New Year with goals and revenue projections. Instead, we will meet with each of the teams and spend time reflecting all we have learned together, and we will honor and celebrate their meaningful achievements, to begin the New Year on a positive note.
May 2013 be a year of renewed hope and prosperity for all. Thank you David for walking your talk in all ways. We have the greatest CEO on the planet and you are creating extraordinary leaders that create positive work environments by sharing your message on Forbes.
And from Glasgow in Scotland, the land of Hogmanay, best wishes for A Happy and Prosperous New Year to all in the Fishbowl Family and at HBR and Forbes.
Don't forget the old Scottish tradition of New Year Resolutions. This calls for you to make your personal resolutions to do something or something in the coming New Year. They are a great opportunity to commit to actually doing something, whether it is to 'do something better' or do something you #have always meant to do'.
And in the New Year let's remember Adam Smith's observation that it is when business and society work together in concert for the common good that all do well and best prosper.
Wonderful, Dave! I can certainly attest to 2012 bringing it's share of challenges as well as successes. But it's been interesting looking back and connecting the dots. What I mean is… in the rear view mirror I can clearly see that the challenges were made manageable by the preparedness accomplished beforehand. The successes were often appropriately balanced with the challenges.
Each challenge has the opportunity to become a success. Each success can only be maximized by accepting that it comes with challenges.
Careful planning and execution, learnings from mistakes made, and 100% faith and ultimately sustainability provided by the great network of employees, family, friends, coworkers, customers and Partners allowed us (and me specifically) to have endurance and success.
Thanks, Dave and thanks, Fishbowl. I look forward to another great year of living the dream!
David, congratulations on your success. No one deserves it more. I look forward to watching you hit and surpass all of your goals for 2013!
What a great perspective to look at the beginning of next year evaluating growth and giving thanks before asking for more. I often jump to the step of what can I work on and do this next year, but as you have pointed out Dave, I first need to evaluate and give thanks for what I was able to do last year first. Thank you for the insight!
I was absolutely amazed by the humility of Lavelle Edwards. Anyone with his accomplishments could certainly be forgiven for a little well-earned arrogance but not a trace. Also, I was surprised by his sense of humor. He struck me as someone who could laugh off just about any roadblock in life. I admire that.

Massive Turnout for World Premier of Jake Blauvelt: Naturally at Oakley HQ
Anyone who doesn't like deep pow, technical riding, positive vibes and lots of early-season schmoozing was best advised to skip the world premier of Jake Blauvelt's signature flick, Jake Blauvelt: Naturally, at Oakley HQ. Based on the merits of that previous sentence, you can safely assume that the house was packed.
"I'm just blown away that so many great people came out to see the movie," Blauvelt said. "This has been a long, hard road to get to where we are today, finally sharing the movie with the snowboarding community, so I feel very honored and humbled tonight."
Among the masses squeezed into the Oakley lobby were some of the biggest names in the sport (past and present), including Terje Haakonsen, Torstein Horgmo, Mark McMorris, Kevin Pearce, David Benedek, Jack Mitrani, Chanelle Sladics, Pat Moore, Elena Hight and more. Skateboard superstar Ryan Sheckler even made the trip up to Foothill Ranch to check out the much-acclaimed snowboard flick.
The hoots, oohs, whistles and applause were frequent throughout the 35-minute movie, and a standing ovation came at the end. It was a fantastic first night of festivities for the film, but it was just the beginning. Now the movie and Jake and the crew begin their screening world tour and take their project to the masses (get the full schedule HERE).
Check out the gallery for some great moments from the evening.

Islamic Bonds Make a Record-Breaking Comeback on World Markets
05 Oct 2012 10:15 GMT
28 March 2012
Islamic bonds (sukuk) have staged a massive comeback since 2011, after several gloomy years in which even Muslim (more)
28 March 2012
Islamic bonds (
) have staged a massive comeback since 2011, after several gloomy years in which even Muslim bankers and religious scholars questioned their religious credentials and issuance of bonds dipped to dangerous market lows.
There have been $10.4bn of sukuk sales in 2012, the strongest start to a year on record, and more than twice the amount issued over the same period last year.
The figures are even more pronounced for the Persian Gulf region. Islamic bond sales in the Persian Gulf so far in 2012 are up to $7.9 billion from a mere $1.53 billion during the same period last year.
This rapid increase follows 2011 being a record-breaking year for sukuk sales worldwide.
A new report from the UK Islamic Finance Secretariat [UKIFS] indicates that Islamic finance assets worldwide continued a long run of growth to reach an estimated $1.3 trillion in 2011 â 150 per cent up over the previous five years.
The bonds, known as sukuks, are structured to comply with Muslim law, or sharia, and pay a profit rate rather than interest, which is banned in
. Doubts expressed by some religious scholars about the bonds,
's debt crisis and the global financial crisis had combined to send issuance tumbling.
However, sukuk sales rebounded strongly in 2011, hitting a record $32.6bn, according to Dealogic. Issuance has continued at a robust pace this year as borrowers have sought to capitalise on the relative health of Islamic banks, which cannot invest in conventional debt instruments.
"We chose to issue a sukuk because of strong demand from Islamic regional accounts," says Daniele Vecchi, head of group treasury at Majid Al-Futtaim, a Dubai-based mall group that sold a debut $400m Islamic bond in February. "Pricing also compared well with conventional paper."
"I think that that trend is going to continue through this year as long as global market conditions are relatively stable," says Abdul Kadir Hussain, chief executive officer of Mashreq Capital, an investment bank and asset manager.
While the main buyers of sukuk remain in the Gulf and Malaysia, the spectrum of issuers has broadened in recent years. More fgirst-time issuers from new markets are expected in 2012.
South Africa and Nigeria have recently voiced interest in selling sukuk. Countries including Australia, Turkey and Hong Kong have announced plans to make their laws more conducive to domestic sukuk issuance, with National Australia Bank already considering an inaugural sale.
Perhaps the most significant new member of the "sukuk club" is
Saudi Arabia
. Although several Saudi companies have sold Islamic bonds, the oil-rich kingdom this year sold its first sovereign- guaranteed sukuk, a SR15bn ($4bn) offering to finance an airport expansion.
Despite the sukuk market's resurgence, many issues surrounding the instrument highlighted by the financial crisis remain unresolved - not least how the instruments are treated in a bankruptcy.
Dubai managed to avoid defaulting on one of its Islamic bonds in late 2009 thanks to aid from Abu Dhabi, but the legal uncertainties it brought to light remain. Indeed, the outcome of the restructuring of a prominent $650m sukuk in Saudi Arabia remains murky, several years after it went into default.
The global sukuk market also remains relatively narrow, despite the issuance from new companies and countries. The vast preponderance of issuance remains from Malaysia, despite Saudi Arabia's $4bn sukuk pushing the statistics slightly more towards the Gulf this year.
Moreover, there are still some industry insiders who worry that the constant evolution of the Islamic bond market means that it risks eroding its credibility with devout investors if it strays too far from its roots.
Muslim scolars who specialise in Islamic financial law have to give approval to all sukuk, but the industry's increasing size and the limited number of suitably qualified Islamic legal scholars means that they are overstretched.
A warning from one scholar in 2008 that some structures had diverged from Islamic principles contributed to the market's post-financial crisis slowdown. Goldman Sach's plans to sell a sukuk have also been clouded by uncertainty about some Islamic legal questions.
"There is a conflict between the demands of the market - both from the borrowers and lenders - and what sharia demands," says Khalid Howladar, a senior analyst at Moody's. 'There's always an issue that certain instruments evolve into something too similar to conventional bonds defeating the purpose of Islamic finance."

Seventeen-year-old Ricky Warren of Hudson's Hope has done something no other Canadian teenager has done in high school rodeo – he made Canadian High School Rodeo Finals history this past summer by placing top three in all five the events here entered.
In early August the young cowboy travelled to Virden, Manitoba to compete in the 2012 Canadian High School Finals. There Ricky finished third in steer wrestling, second in boys cutting, second in calf roping, second in team roping and took first in saddlebronc.
He was also named the 2012 Canadian High School Rodeo Association's All-Around Cowboy.
"He does well and he's worked very, very hard to get to where he is," said Ricky's mom Lori. "He's a strong competitor and he's very competitive and he practices very diligently, but that was an amazing achievement that he did."
Lori added she was most proud of her son being named All-Around Cowboy.
"It shows his versatility and how he worked hard all winter and spring practicing," she said. "It was really nice that he got that to top off all of his work."
In 2012 Ricky was also the B.C. High School Rodeo Association's saddlebronc champion and finished 11th in saddlebronc at the National High School Rodeo Association Finals in the U.S.
"He's had a remarkable season and he's a phenomenal athlete," said Lynn Peck, northern executive director of the BCHSRA. "He has a plan in place and he works extremely hard to achieve his plan and his goal. This is his Grade 12 year, he'll be going into his final season in high school rodeo, and he's achieved more already than a lot of people have been able to achieve and still has another season to go."
"He had an awesome year, and twice he's already qualified to go to the national finals as well and achieving that was good. He's done well, he's done really well," Peck added.
Ricky first got on a horse when he was a toddler and began competing in high school rodeo in Grade 9. Now in his final year of high school, Ricky has already been contacted by colleges in the U.S. offering rodeo scholarships and he and his parents will be heading south of the border this December to go over his options.
"It's very rewarding for him," Lori said about the attention from American schools.
Ricky practices for two or three hours a night on his family's hunting property, using bucking horses, chutes and calves supplied by his parents as well as horses loaned to him by other rodeo members in the region.
Mac Leask Jr. and Dan and Maryanne Novotney are members of the community who let Ricky use their horses and practice his different events, something Lori is very thankful for. It's people like them and financial sponsors, she says, that give kids the opportunity to stay in rodeo.
"A lot of people assisted him along the way and without help from a lot of people kids can't do this sort of thing," she said. "People loaned him horses so he could compete in certain events, they taught him different things; it's just a real wide network of people reaching out and helping all the kids in high school rodeo to learn and strive to do their best and achieve some goals. It's a pretty neat group of people."
"It's nice to see so many people so giving of their time and knowledge."
Ricky will spend the winter practicing for his last high school rodeo season. Whether or not he can repeat his performance at the 2013 Canadian High School Rodeo Finals is unknown, but not something his supporters will pressure him about.
"You don't want to jinx him or anything or put too much pressure on him because we expect him to do well but he just does well," Peck said. "Watching him is phenomenal. He knows what he has to do, gets it done and he's a true all-round competitor."
"I just hope he continues to do well and reaches his dreams," Lori said. "He wants to college rodeo and excel in that, so I hope it all works out for him in that aspect."

Yet more Democrats are piling on President Barack Obama for skipping a visit to the U.S.-Mexico border during his recent trip to Texas.
"I wish he would have come to the border,' said U.S. Rep. Beto O'Rourke, a Texas Democrat. "It would have sent an important message to the rest of the country about how seriously he takes this issue beyond the spending request he sent to Congress last week."
Obama's decision to skip the border comes as more and more unaccompanied immigrant minors are making their way in the United States, creating what both Democrats and Republicans have called a humanitarian crisis. Obama has requested $3.7 billion in emergency funding to help ease the burdens on federal officials and facilities, as well as to crack down on smugglers.
While in Texas, Obama pressed for Congress to give him the funds and met with Republican Gov. Rick Perry. But border state politicians continue to say Obama missed an opportunity to see the crisis first hand.
"I wish he would have come to my district of El Paso where we've seen thousands of family members," O'Rourke said. "I wanted him to meet the men and women of the border patrol, of [U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement], of Annunciation House, a Catholic charity that's helping to take care of these families and reunite them."
"The President should have gone down there," Democratic Rep. Luis Gutierrez of Illinois told CBS's Bob Schieffer.
White House press secretary Josh Earnest says Obama's focus has been on the issue, rather than on his image.
"The President's priority was on solving the problem," Earnest said. "The President's putting the policy solution first, even though he's been criticized over photo ops. That's leadership and that's what the President's been focused on."
And while Gutierrez said he would have liked Obama to make the trip, he made clear where he thinks the blame lies in the broader legislative battles over immigration reform.
"The administration has been trying to work with Congress to pass an immigration reform bill for over two years," Gutierrez said. "So it's been folks in Congress and specifically in the House of Representatives who have not moved forward on a bill that would have helped us prevent some of the things we're seeing on the border now."
Texas Democrat Rep. Joaquin Castro praised administration officials who have made the trip. While he didn't offer any additional details, Castro said not to count out a border visit from Obama in the future.
"The fact is, this was not the President's last opportunity to get to the border. I think you will see him go down there. I think it's important for him to get down there at some point, to let people know he personally is attending the situation," Castro told NBC's David Gregory. "[Homeland Security Secretary] Jeh Johnson has been down there five or six times. He's keeping the President apprised of everything."

As if demanding John McCain to stop using his music wasn't enough, John Mellencamp has lent his voice to a radio commercial in Indiana throwing more support behind Obama. "I've seen a lot of small towns, and now I'm seeing small towns across America dying," Mellencamp says in the ad, adding that eight years of George W. Bush has made it a tough time to be a Hoosier, while John McCain will only bring "more of the same." Mellencamp goes on to support Obama's plan to end tax breaks for companies that outsource their jobs overseas. "I'm proud to support Barack Obama, because whether you live in a small town or a big city, it's time for a change," Mellencamp says to end the minute-long spot.

The Small Town Theatre Company presents Neil Simon's Hilarious Comedy Hit "The Prisoner of Second Avenue"
The Small Town Theatre Company will present "The Prisoner of Second Avenue" in Armonk at Whippoorwill Hall on September 21st and 22nd, as well as in Bedford Hills at the Bedford Hills Community House on September 28th and 29th.
The play will be directed by Donna Garr (Katonah), co-founder of The Small Town Theatre Company and will include the cast of Sam Morell (Armonk), Susan King (Brewster), Fred Lichtstein (White Plains), Misti Tindiglia (Harrison), Melissa Stone (Croton on Hudson), and Joy Rohman (White Plains).
Tickets can be purchased online via www.SmallTownTheatre.com or by phone at 914.273.0300. General admission is $17 while Seniors/Students are $15.
Neil Simon's "The Prisoner of Second Avenue" premiered on Broadway at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre in 1971 and received a 1972 Tony Award nomination for Best Play.
The story revolves around the escalating problems of a middle-aged couple living on Second Avenue in the Upper East Side of Manhattan. Mel Edison has just lost his job after many years and now has to cope with being unemployed. The action occurs during an intense summer heat wave and a prolonged garbage strike, which just exacerbates Edison's plight to no end as he and his wife Edna deal with noisy neighbors, loud sounds emanating from Manhattan streets, and a robbery during broad daylight. They take their outrage out on each other, as well as the wall shared with two partying stewardesses.
In The New York Times Clive Barnes wrote that "it is the most honestly amusing comedy that Mr. Simon has given us. Walter Kerr wrote "Neil Simon is handsome proof that humor and honesty can be got into bed together."

Diner Reviews
We had reservations and were
seated immediately. My friend had the Heirloom Tomato Salad, with blueberries and pistachios topping. The combination was a delight. It was not sweet, as she thought it might have been. Next time, I will order that! For the entrée I had the Pan Seared Barramundi. It was very good. The sweet corn, leek and beech mushroom ragout, that the mild tasting sea bass was resting upon, had a great texture and tasted wonderful. I had read the reviews prior to going. When our server introduced herself, it was April! April was attentive, friendly and professional. The staff was excellent. We were there after 7 p.m. and enjoyed the background piano music."
Dined on 7/24/2014
We had the fillet mignon and crab
entrée and the New York strip steak special both were excellent as we're the oysters Rockefeller was excellent as was a deviled eggs trio for appetizers. The wine list is extensive. Everything was wonderful I highly recommend it if you are looking for a nice place to have a fine meal at the shore."
Dined on 7/23/2014
This is a go to for out of town
guests. Food is delightful, from fresh home grown salads to multiple seafood preparations to a number of steak and chicken entrees. The deviled eggs are surprisingly rich and unique, prepared with exotic fillings (wild boar and smoked trout when we were there). The food is excellent although not perfect. I had a scallop entree which sounded great but was a bit bland, which is hard to do in Cape May, a scallop capital. Service was good and the place is just a beautiful space. Make sure you go early for cocktails on one of Cape May's best porches."
Dined on 7/20/2014
THE best place in cape may that
never dissapoints. Great menu, excellent specialty drinks and lively dining area. Be sure to visit the famous front porch for a drink while you wait for your table. Went back a second time on our recent vacation to cape may."

The Ebbitt Room is such a
beautiful place in the center of Cape May. It is small restaurant with a perfect ambience. We have been there often yet not recently. We heard they had a new chef and thought we would try it. The menu had many great options to pick from so our dinner was excellent. The creme brulee along with the toffee pudding dessert was a spectacular ending to a great night. We will definitely return with friends my next visit to Cape May."

It's not often that strangers
dining at a restaurant get talking with each other over the food, but that was our delightful experience recently at the Ebbitt Room. The strip steak with bleu cheese, a special that night, was so gorgeous that diners stared. A man next to my husband nearly drooled when my husband steak was presented. My husband said, " That's what you ordered!" When that man's dinner arrived we all told the man at the next table down that he had to order it too. Which he did. As perfectly delicious as it looked. I was wowed by the pear cucumber gazpacho special. Everything else was wonderful too. The bar has phenomenal cocktails and is worth going to for that alone, but wow dinner sure was good."
Dined on 7/15/2014
We dined here as a family last
week and had excellent service, wonderful drinks and appetizers. The meals overall was very good. I ordered the crab cake and filet and while the crab cake was very good, the filet was average. It was not tender or flavorful, really a filet you would have received at a Outback or something of the like. For the cost and quality of the venue I expected more. We've been to the Ebbitt Room numerous times in the past and always have a nice time, this was my first complaint. Like I said everything else was excellent so it still remains at 4 stars."
Dined on 7/14/2014
We have been here before and will
come again when in Cape May. The new bar is great this is a terrific place."

we enjoyed a wonderful meal last
year at the ebbitt room, we returned to cape may to dine there again. it did not disappoint. the service lovely and the food great once again, locally sourced ingredients, and great preparation. the wine list has some nice selections. it can be a bit noisy at peak hours"
Dined on 7/12/2014
This trip to The Ebbit Room made
me think they are resting on reputation The service is great and friendly but the food lacked creativity and the portion size seems to have shrunk. Don't get me wrong. This is an elegant restaurant with good food but just not as over the top as I would have expected"

There are many exquisite menu

Dined at the Ebbitt Room for a
special night out on vacation. Disappointed in the food. Their wonderful chef has apparently left to establish his own restaurant. Hope they find their way this summer. Calamari was "all batter". Chicken was very salty and uninspiring. Fig ice cream was downright awful."
Dined on 7/8/2014
Top notch start to finish, from
the great bartender who made delicious cocktails, to the excellent food & April ( I think) the server. Best place we went to out of 5 dinners. Will always go back!"

Wonderful ambience; delicious
food; engaging staff"
Dined on 7/4/2014
We get to Cape May three or four
times a year and always eat at PSI, 410 Bank, and Ebbitt. This time we were disappointed with 410 Bank and PSI but were blown away by Ebbitt Room. We always like it but this time we really loved it. As always, a beautiful room and great service but it was the food that really impressed us. Best we ever had there. Delicious. Oh, yes, as usual although we had a 9:00 reservation we were not seated until 9:30. For some reason, they almost always are late seating people even though they have reservations. At least the food was worth the wait!"

Service, food and surroundings

We had our anniversary dinner here
and the Food, service and environment made it a special and memorable night out."
Dined on 6/27/2014
The Ebbitt Room is our go to
special occasion restaurant at the Jersey Shore. On this visit, the air-conditioner was broken and although a fan was set up in the dining room at our request, as the restaurant filled up it became most uncomfortable. Our server did go out of his way and managed to get me an iced coffee from the bar after dinner. We made reservations to celebrate a good friends really significant milestone birthday. Typically, a restaurant presents a desert or something to the celebrant; but, aside from the hostess noting that we were there for a birthday, no mention or recognition was forthcoming."
Dined on 6/25/2014
My wife and I recently celebrated
our 25th wedding anniversary here, and were overall enthralled with the freshness, creativity and high quality of the food, as well as the with the high level of courteous, knowledgeable and efficient service shown us. The desserts were not as inspired, though. Still, we thoroughly enjoyed an outstanding dining experience in keeping with the special event we were celebrating."
Dined on 6/24/2014
I made this reservation a month in

if they'd only lower the decibels
in the dining room, the place would be perfect..oh, and bartender needs to learn difference between a Pimm's Cup and a Mojito. Ordered the first got the latter..but it was very good, too"
Dined on 6/21/2014
Celebrated our 44th anniversary
along with my nephews 15th anniversary at the Ebbitt room. Once again one of the better meals we had at an upscale restaurant. While the food and wine are upscale, the dress is resort dress, so it is not stuffy. We started with Kir Royal drinks (the best I've ever had) with a Beach Plum Farm Deviled egg appetizers that were the special of the day and were interesting concoctions enjoyed by all - I can't remember the specific toppings but they were not your grandmother's deviled eggs. For our mains we had, Salmon, Barramundi, and peppered lamb. The plating was beautiful and the accompaniments perfect. Domaine Dujac, Morey Saint-Denis, France 2007 for the wine. Cost - priceless, great experience."
Dined on 6/21/2014
What a fabulous meal. Superb
service and wonderful food made this a wonderful anniversary dinner. My potato leak soup with truffle oil and the caramelized scallops were the best ever. The salmon my wife had was perfect.To finish off the meal we had the ricotta doughnuts; simply superb. Can't wait to go back."

This was a great place to go for a
special occasion. The bartender Leo was a very skilled mixologist and made our wait for our table enjoyable. The food was excellent, even though the wait was rather long for our dinner."
Dined on 6/17/2014
We went for the early bird menu
which was not given to us with the regulatr menu, which annoys me. I had to ask for it. We had ordered from this menu last year. The portions were smaller this year. The breast of duck was a meager portion and it had more fat and grisle than meat. My husband thought the salmon was ourstanding, but a very small portion. I have gotten larger portions at most lunches I've gone to. It is a bit of a bargain at 35.00 for three courses."
Dined on 6/15/2014
One of my favorite restaurants, it
never disappoints. The menu is always interesting and fun. Preparation and presentation are always spot-on, and service is always great. The only negative is that the restaurant is a bit noisy and would benefit from some sound attenuation. No reason to stay away! We are in Cape May at least once a year, and make sure to eat at the Ebbitt Room on every trip."
Dined on 6/14/2014
Duck breast was very fatty and
gamey. Bar drinks were not good. Vodka gimlet was all vodka, no fresh lime juice on hand and not chilled. 2nd time I've been disappointed at the bar recently. If the food and drink are no good there is very little reason to go back."
Dined on 6/12/2014
In a town where there are many
excellent fine dining BYOB options, a restaurant with a full service bar needs to do more to make it worthwhile. The Ebbitt Room, while admitedly higher priced than other options makes a good case. Arrive a little early and start off with drinks at the classically adorned bar/lounge. The professional bar tending staff will set you up and share conversation as much as you prefer. Move a few feet over into the dining room and peruse a wine list which has something for everyone in a multitude of price ranges. Ask for assistance navigating if needed. The dishes overall are fresh and well prepared. The lobster ceasar is outstanding. The desserts were not particularly exciting. Overall an excellent experience."
Dined on 6/9/2014
Waiter was nice, but not
attentive. Had to ask for more water, my mother had ordered a surf and turf and the steak was chewy and didn't taste good. The waiter never came to ask how our meals were. The busboy ended up taking our plates away with the steak. Too much filler in my crabcakes and served with mashed potatoes... Yuck. But the scallops were out of this world."
Dined on 6/9/2014
We usually try Ebbitt Room at
least once a year when we go back to Cape May. This time we went earlier in the season hoping for better experience. We ate a little earlier than usual which definitely helped. We were able to sit at the bar and have a cocktail before dinner which was quite nice and the cocktails were very good. A definite improvement on noise level too because while the restaurant was busy, it wasn't packed so it wasn't as loud as we remember it. The food was good but a little too salty for our taste. We recall the food being salty the last time too. Will have to order next time and ask for less salt and then I think we'll be ok."
Dined on 6/8/2014
This chef clearly has talent. The
smaller dishes were beautiful and delicious however I believe he is still going through the trial and error process on the main dishes. Two of the three were adequate but not amazing, while the third was quite good. Uneven thus far but I feel with time it will all be amazing!"
Dined on 6/7/2014
If you prefer a classy night out
for a unique dinner then this is the place. A cocktail on the porch, sitting on a sofa, is like being in your home but with more atmosphere. Dinner in the open plan redesigned dining room has a modern Manhattan flare. Appetizers, salads and entrées are all superb. This is a great place for one or two couples."

Ada —
The American Cancer Society is seeking foot soldiers in the war on cancer.
The national organization is recruiting at least 300,000 Americans —including 2,000 in Oklahoma alone — for a study examining the roles that lifestyles, genetics and the environment play in a cancer diagnosis. The results may give researchers new clues about what causes cancer and how to prevent it.
Ada was chosen as one of Oklahoma's five enrollment sites for the study, based on the community's record of raising funds for cancer research, Relay for Life officials said during a kickoff event Thursday at People's Electric Cooperative.
Relay Co-Chairman Greg McCortney said his father and grandparents died of cancer, and he welcomed the chance to participate in the study.

YouTube Software Engineer Weighs in on Flash and HTML5
Balancing the need for an open web and user needs.
John Harding, Software Engineer for YouTube, threw has hat into the Flash/HTML5 debate giving a point-by-point breakdown of the advantages and disadvantages of the free and open <video> tag provided within HTML5. His conclusion: HTML5 is the way of the future, but the format has a ways to go before it can be fully adopted by YouTube.
Harding's first issue with HTML5 video is the lack of a standard format. YouTube uses h.264, but the licensing issues have limited browser support. This led Google to create the WebM project, which uses the recently opened VP8 codec as a new open standard, but the codec is in its infancy, in need of more support and additional improvements and optimizations before it can become viable.
Harding's second issue with HTML5 is the lack of fine control over buffering and self-adjusting video quality based on connection speed. HTML5 doesn't address streaming protocols, yet.
"Flash Player addresses these needs by letting applications manage the downloading and playback of video via Actionscript in conjunction with either HTTP or the RTMP video streaming protocol," Harding said.
Furthermore, HTML5 doesn't offer content protection, something that Flash offers through the RTMPE protocol. And Flash packages and embeds content securely, something HTML5 has yet to fully accomplish and therefore limits it from being embedded on other sites.
Harding's final two issues are relatively small. HTML5 doesn't support fullscreen mode and is just beginning to offer camera and microphone access. He ends his post by championing HTML5's cross-platform compatibility and championed Flash as the best platform for YouTube's video distribution requirements.

Bacterial Vaginosis--or--embarrassing bad smell

Hi Lori,
Thanks for the info! The IBS symptoms didn't occur after taking the antibiotics. Thus, the stomach symptoms weren't caused by the antibiotics. Those symptoms (IBS and BV) were comorbid. My doctor felt the overgrowth of bacteria triggered IBS. The antibiotics relieved both the BV symptoms and IBS. When both flared up again after finishing a course of antibiotics, I began taking Bio-K which cleared both.

The live bacteria in Bio-K, when taken orally, makes its way down to the vaginal area. As I recall (you may want to double check this on Bio-K's web site), 68 percent of the live bacteria makes it way down to the vaginal area.
Hey SFgirl. I've been reading the bio-K site, and I don't see anything there about this. Can you point me in the right direction? Thanks.
Arj75, is this the Ultimate Flora that you're taking?

If you have time..(List the product that I found recently too...Ultimate Flora (Probiotic). $35.99.. What is the cost of that fem stuff?
I also am going to start eating Dannon Activia Yogurt twice a day. Before this BV, I have only had a few yeast infections in my life, and had cured them by eating yogurt and just using creams to relieve the burning and itching caused from the yeast....
Hey arj75! Thanks, I will add it! (Fem-dophilus costs $24 at Whole Foods [fridge] and about $15 online [vitacost.com, etc, not in fridge] - for 30 caps)
The BV triggered Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) symtoms. After a trip to the doctor, and several tests to rule out other disorders, the doctor concluded the same -- that BV had triggered IBS-like symtoms. I was given Flagyl which helped to relieve symptoms, including the stomach pain and constipation, and recovered two weeks later.
Hello SFgirl, welcome to the board! I don't think the BV triggered your IBS-like symptoms, it was probably the antibiotics. The same thing happened to me after taking clindamycin (oral) - it kills the "good" bacteria in your gut, and disturbs the balance. The concept is similar to how BV occurs, but it is probably not directly caused by BV.
It sounds like you may have had a Clostridium difficile infection - an overgrowth of this bacteria is a known side effect of clindamycin. It makes sense because taking metronidazole relieved your symptoms - metronidazole kills the C. difficile bacteria. (Confusing, huh?)
Just another way BV can screw up your life. *sigh*
But I'm glad you discovered that probiotics helped you! I used Culturelle, and that really helped with my symptoms. I've also heard good things about Activia yogurt. But maybe I'll try Bio-K next time. I like that it's in liquid form. It's very pricey, but most good probiotics seem to be.
Thanks for telling us that inserting Bio-K vaginally is helping you.
Anyway, I highly recommend that if you ever take antibiotics again for any reason, make sure you let your doctor know you've had intestinal troubles. And while taking the antibiotics, make sure you're also taking Bio-K and keep an eye on your symptoms.
I am never sure what probiotic to use, because I have taken them before, and they state they are for digestive health. I am not sure if they work on vaginal flora. They dont seem to ever help when I take them orally. But thanks, and I will try it. I am willing to try ANYTHING.
Hello babs, welcome to the board! Fem-dophilus is a product specifically designed for vaginal health. You take it orally. I've been taking it for over 2 months now, and so far so good.
(Another product is Gy-Natren. This stuff is horrible and caused irritation and a lot of problems. Not recommended.)
Hi everyone, I just found out I have that same problem BV. Im scared cause as soon as I found out I went online and research as it was my thesis in college. I found interesting facts, hiwever i also found out of the negative consequences. I heard that BV can lead to pelvic inflamatory disease which causes a woman to be sterile.
Hello kittypassion, welcome to the board! I have the same fear. I had undiagnosed BV for at least 3 years - went to the gyno a bunch of times, but all they did was test for STD's and didn't treat my BV. I had a bunch of pap tests, too, and the report always read - "inflammation" and "acute cervicitis." (Cervicitis = inflammation of cervix) Not to mention I was in pain! But they did NOTHING!
I have the very same fear - that during that time of retarded doctors, my BV may have advanced into my upper genital tract and fucked with my reproductive organs. I have anxiety attacks and nightmares about it.
*deep breath*
Anyway, I've read up a lot about this online. BV does increase your chance of getting PID in conjunction with other factors - gonorrhea, chlamydia, abortion or other surgery/procedure, etc. Since I haven't dealt with any of these, I've been trying to figure out if BV alone can cause PID - and different sources will tell you different things. Some sources say it is possible (because a small percentage women who have had PID had BV, but did not also have gonorrhea/chlamydia/procedures, etc).
In any case, it is relatively rare. The bad news for me is that I have had cervicitis which went away after my BV was treated. Cervicitis is one of the main symptoms of PID. And this is what makes me wake up in the middle of the night crying. The good news for me is that it is kind of rare. I have had a trans-vaginal ultrasound, which showed that they didn't see anything really messed up - but that's just a preliminary diagnosis for PID, so they can't be sure. But at least my ultrasound went well, so I'm just going to think positive and hope for the best.
So don't worry, kittypassion. You probably didn't have BV as long as I have without treatment, so it's very unlikely that you got PID also. But here's what you need to do. You need to make sure you're under the care of a doctor. (Hopefully none of them are as retarded as mine were.) Take ORAL antibiotics (rather than the vaginal gel/cream, which target the lower genital tract), and talk to him/her about your upper genital tract concerns. Also make sure that you are having safe sex and protecting yourself from STD's - because those WILL fuck with your reproductive organs for sure!
*Just want to remind everyone that I'm working on a blog on this site - just a compendium of suggestions from this thread. I thought it would be a good reference:
Please help me think of a name for the blog!

Hi Babs,
I've taken probiotics in the past, such as freeze-dried capsules, and have inserted plain yogurt vaginally. While that approach was effective in that it reduced my symptoms, it didn't clear the BV. Due to the way freeze-dried probiotics are processed and transported, I question whether they have the viable number of friendly bacteria needed to clear BV (at least my BV!). Bio-K, which is a "live" liquid probiotic, guarantees a minimum of 50 billion live bacteria per 3.5 ounce container. If we were to compare Bio-K to yogurt, you would need 100 3.5 ounce servings of yogurt to get the same amount of live bacteria.
Moving on to your questions:
"Is it a thin liquid? Is it important to try to keep the liquid in the vaginal canal for a while, or just flush it up there?"
The non-dairy formula is not as thick as yogurt. It has the consistency of kefir. I have one container set aside in the fridge for vaginal use and I use a syringe. I use it at night and I fill the entire syringe. I use my muscles to hold the liquid inside the vaginal canal for a few minutes. If I'm laying down, it stays put pretty well during sleep but I do sleep with a towel under me on the nights that I insert Bio-K. I haven't tried douching with it, but that approach may be worth exploring.
"And you say you use a cheaper probiotic now orally but are you still using the Bio-K liquid vaginally 3x week?"
Well, yes and more. I still take Bio-K orally (one container per day). I split the Bio-K oral dose (one container of liquid probiotic) in half and use part 1 in the morning, and part 2 in the evening. I cut the dose to one Bio-K container per day when my BV symptoms cleared completely. Prior to symptoms clearing, I drank two containers per day. In between the morning and evening Bio-K dose, I take 2 freeze-dried probiotic capsules. The capsules I have are the kind that have to be stored in the fridge. I insert Bio-K vaginally 3 times per week. I use the non-dairy formula for vaginal use because I prefer the non-dairy product. I imagine the dairy product would work just as well.
The live bacteria in Bio-K, when taken orally, makes its way down to the vaginal area. As I recall (you may want to double check this on Bio-K's web site), 68 percent of the live bacteria makes it way down to the vaginal area. I give that number an extra boost by inserting it vaginally. The "friendly" bacteria populate and outnumber the "bad" bacteria in the vaginal area and have thus cleared my symptoms.
I've tried everything over the years and Bio-K is the only thing that kicked my BV (and tummy pain). I would suggest looking at Bio-K's web site for clinical studies.
Hope this helps.

Good evening everyone,
I found a site that a doctor had listed on different prescriptions and home remendies to maintain BV. I believe it listed some medicines that maybe you could take as well BABS Also, maybe I'm just seeing things, but it looked as if he was offering to answer any questions or concerns that we may have, and he listed his info at the site. www.vaginosis.com
Good Night everyone.
Glad your feeling better ilovehim!

SFgirl- Thanks for sharing your experiences with BV. I would like to ask you a few things. You use liquid Bio-K orally twice daily, and inserted vaginally everyday for a week. Is it a thin liquid? Is it important to try to keep the liquid in the vaginal canal for a while, or just flush it up there? And you say you use a cheaper probiotic now orally but are you still using the Bio-K liquid vaginally 3x week? I am never sure what probiotic to use, because I have taken them before, and they state they are for digestive health. I am not sure if they work on vaginal flora. They dont seem to ever help when I take them orally. But thanks, and I will try it. I am willing to try ANYTHING.

I recently had an intense and painful reaction to Bacterial Vaginosis and was ill for about three weeks. I've had recurring BV since my early 20's. I'm now in my 40's. While the BV has been ever present over the last 20 years, it has never caused severe stomach pain until recently. In the past I've taken antibiotics which has resolved the symptoms, albeit temporarily. Symptoms usually returned after an antibiotic course within 2 months. My most recent experience with BV caused severe stomach pain, cramping, and constipation. The BV triggered Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) symtoms. After a trip to the doctor, and several tests to rule out other disorders, the doctor concluded the same -- that BV had triggered IBS-like symtoms. I was given Flagyl which helped to relieve symptoms, including the stomach pain and constipation, and recovered two weeks later. However, much to my dismay, the BV returned during the third week of my recovery and the symptoms, to include stomach pain, began to return. I've held it in check and have overcome the symptoms using probiotics and this approach has been more effective for me than antibiotic treatment. The probiotic I used was liquid Bio-K. I used Bio-K, orally, twice daily for about a month. In addition, I inserted Bio-K vaginally once daily for 1 week. Bio-K reduced BV and my stomach symptoms in 3 days. After 1 week, the symptoms were gone. I now drink Bio-K once daily and insert Bio-K vaginally 3 times per week for maintenance. Since the product is expensive (about $5 per container), I'm supplementing my daily Bio-K intake with less expensive probiotic capsules to keep my healthy bacterial levels up. Bio-K can be purchased at most health food stores. I like the non-dairy formula (it tastes like mango) but have used the dairy formula with success. I hope this helps a fellow BV sufferer. -- SFgirl.

Hi arj75.
Unfortunatly, Tinidazole is in the "zole" family, as in Metranitazole (flagyl) and I am highly allergic. Lactic acid is used in making most yogurts, I would be interested in what you found, is it used in pure form as a vaginal insert? And stainless steel douching?? Wow..do tell...the words sound a bit intimidating, but let me know what you read.

Hi Babs, I just found this a few moments ago, and well the information is a little old (2005) but the Europeans did or are still using this drug to treat BV. Not sure what chemical properties it has, or how you would go about ordering it (if you even can). Tinidazole.
I found some interesting information regarding latic acid today, and stainless steel douching as well.

Thank you for your reply ajr75. The thought of telling my boyfriend terrifies me, but I know it will make things easier for me if he understands. I need to do it, and I know I will, its just a matter of finding the nerve. He is a very mature understanding man, so I am sure it will be fine.
As for me, I am 41. Caucasion, no smoking, no drug use, personality type...a nurturer! I have one daughter, almost 20. I first noticed my BV when I was around 13. Just about the time I hit puberty. I recall sitting crosslegged in the gym at school, and having the strong odor hit me like a brick, and uncrossing my legs! I did not become sexually aqctive until the age of 16. I had BV 3 years before I had my first sexual encounter. Because I have had it since puberty, I dont think anything I did or didnt do has resulted having BV. My health has been generaly good over the years, I am currently dealing with a back injury, the stress from that has been tough, but it seems in good times or bad, through out the years I hae had BV...no matter what. The one time I had complete relief from BV was when I was given a prescription for vaginal clindemyacin ovules. I used them six nights in a row, by the third nght, I was in so much pain, and my entire vagianal area swelled twice its size. This was the allergic reaction I described in my first post. This was about 4 years ago. However, after the allergic reaction went away, I had no symptoms of the BV for two months!! It was BLISS....but of course, it came back. The allergic reaction was so painful I did not try it again. But any ideas are welcomed. I have alot of timeon my hands and willing to try ANYTHING. I am so greatful to have an outlet for my frustration and sadness in this forum!

Hey you all,
This is something that you may want to just consider...I'm going to start monitoring my diet. There are a several sites that you can enter your information and it will record and calculate the information. It can't hurt nothing to improve our diets!! Until recently, I have been a fan of anything pickled, love salt, and I have a little french fries with my ketchup. Not only that, but i also love mustard, cole slaw..ok anything with vinegar. I have already read to exclude this from my diet, as it is considered to be a trigger. On the reverse end, some have used it as a douche and it has helped with the stinch.

Welcome to the board Babs,
I'm so sorry that you suffer from this as well. I really don't know what to tell you..other than not to give up. Recently, I told my boyfriend about this, and he was very understanding. It was not easy, and I'm sure it isn't for anyone. If he flees, then he isn't a man worth having around to start with. Any information that I find that I feel may be of a benefit to you, I most definately will inform you. And I will look! Like you, I have no insurance. I had a planned parenthood appointment today, and well, sure as shit, I started my period. This is the third month that it has been rescheduled (from their poor planning)..and when they resheduled this one, I wasn't worried about my period because I normally started later in the month. O well. Keep your chin up!
I'm interested in your past, and current health history,smoking, drug use, medications, blood type, nationality, personality type, and whatever else you are comfortable in sharing. If you want to bitch..feel free. I have already read several articles of how this may be induced from stress!!!

Hello ladies. I am new to your forum. I found this site searching online for any information about BV and I almost cried when I came across this site. I feel so alone, so frustrated, so completely at my wits end from dealing with my BV for 28 years. All I long for is the ability to be spontanious when I have sex, completely comfortable and not worried about the odor. My love life is completely controled by my BV. I have seen Doctors over the years and was once given flagyl oraly, and turns out I am highly allergic. I have been given metranitozol, and clindamyacin (sorry about spelling) and I am very allergic to all forms of these medications,oral or vaginal. The only treatments offered to me I cant use. I have tried things that I have read about, or heard from others, like taking acidophilus orally, and vaginally, baking soda douche, garlic, vitamin C, internet quick fix herbal type pills, creams that claim to wipe out BV in a few days. I have eaten gallons of yogurt at a time, and even inserted it vaginally for a week, no help. I recently read online that Tetrasil works, so I ordered that, just got it in the mail today, but now an not sure how to use it, for how long, and is it safe to insert vaginally? I am so frustrated, so completley consumed with this BV I am not sure what to do. To find a place like this is a godsend. To know others out there are fighting the same battle is unreal.
So, I know that many of you have answered this same question over an over again, but I am hoping that your not to burned out to answer it again.......WHAT DO I DO? Knowing that I am highly allergic to the traditional medications prescribed for BV, any suggestions? Any thoughts on the tetrasil I just got? There is only one thing that takes the odor of BV away for me for a few hours, just long enough to have sex comfortably without the concern and fear of the odor, and its the suppository called Norforms. I get them at most drug stores. It does not take away my BV, just the odor for a few hours so I can at least have oral sex with my boyfriend without the dread. But I am desperate to find a permanent fix. I dont have insurance, so seeing multiple Doctors is not an option, and besides, all they offer is flagyl, or clindemyacin, and I cant take either.
I have been unable to share this problem with any man in my life. I cant bring myself to talk to my boyfriend now about it. Its a shameful secret I have kept for 28 years. He just thinks I am not spontaneous with sex, and maybe a bit frigid. Far from the truth. I love sex, and would love to have it more with him, but the fear of the offensive odor keeps me from it. PLEASE HELP! Thank you all so much.....

Hi Jewels, ( and all)
Yay! I just got the flagyl tabs in the mail today...but would'nt ya know I started my period! Should I wait until the period is over to try the tablets vaginally??? Also, these are 400 mg strength, I know you used 500 mg, think this will be enough or should I make up the difference by cutting one in quarters also??? Sorry to be so nervous nellie, but I really am hoping this works as well for me as it has for you! Thanks.

Good Morning Ladies,
Maybe most of you have already researched the theory of toilet paper harvesting bacteria. I am very busy today but just pulled up this tid bit from The Epochtimes..Unsanitary Chinese toilet paer linked to health problems.....experts confirm that high bacteria count toilet paper can cause gyneclogical infections and skin disease. I haven't read about Americans studies..maybe ours is safe..doubtful...public restrooms..shit spores float gals.....
Great idea Lori!!! I am not crafty with the computer skills as of yet...so forgive me if I don't know how to attach links and so forth..I will learn...but not on the top of my list at this point.
Kylee, I totally agree with you, you and I are on the same page...
Great book to get gals......Prescription for Nutrition Healing....by Phyllis Balk (hell if I know if that's spelled right..book is at my mom's house right now.

I hope everyone is well and enjoying the spring. Things are good in my hood but I wanted to bring up an idea to you guys.
Have any of you tried Chinese medicine? Don't laugh! I have a couple friends that do acupuncture and Chinese medicine and although it isn't the answer for everything, it's actually more effective for some ailments. For example, the basic problem with bv is that your body is out of balance, right? So the aim of Chinese medicine is to bring your body back into optimal balance and also clear out the toxins. They refer to this frequently as clearing heat or damp. It's a very holistic approach to health but with proven results.
Anyway, I'm going to start weekly acupuncture and herbs for my skin and allergies but I saw on the list of treatments available, there are often Chinese herbalists who work with gynecological issues like my friend. There's centuries of research and practice behind this type of treatment and you would certainly want to make sure to go to an experienced acupuncturist/herbalist with their masters in Traditional Chinese medicine.
The drawback is obviously the cost but you typically receive an hour of their treatments/acupuncture plus the cost of the herbs. And it IS intended to cure you. But they may ask you to change certain things that you do - like eat less sugar etc.
Just putting that out there for people who might be interested.
Have a good one!

The recent obsessive coverage of the Virginia Tech shooting by the establishment media serves up many examples of what is not journalism. Although I can point out about 50 problems with the coverage of this event the one aspect that stands out as an obvious and egregious violation of journalistic ethics is the establishment media's use of mood music for this coverage. While music is constantly used to instill fear or tension into the so called news coverage on our TV sets, the sad heart wrenching intro and background music that is being played during the coverage is a clear and obvious example of how the criminals who claim to be journalists are in fact shaping your opinion and manipulating your emotion; and they are using every tool and method available to do this including music.
A journalist is supposed to have the same effect on you as a paper delivery person has. They are supposed to deliver news to you and you and that is it. You are not supposed to find out how they feel about the news and they sure as hell are not supposed to try to tell you how they feel about the news. Their job, as defined by their claimed profession, is to report recent events without bias or opinion. That's it. They have to simply read reports to you about what is taking place. They can show you pictures and films but they are not supposed to manipulate the information, craft a fancy package to deliver it or create an atmosphere that is intended to influence how you feel about what you are hearing.
So let me ask all of the senior anchors on the so called news networks and news programs; which journalism class taught you about how to select the appropriate music for a report? Or did you learn that in your propaganda class? Think about it.

The Portland Cement Association (PCA) reports that state DOTs maximize funds by using life-cycle cost analysis, alternate design/alternate bidding, and mechanistic-empirical pavement design. While each tool addresses inefficiencies by identifying full, long-term costs from a project's beginning, combining them reaps the greatest benefits.
"This white paper illustrates how using them together allows states to do more with the money they have," says PCA President Brian McCarthy. "To not fully utilize these tools is to misuse millions of taxpayer dollars."
Indiana, Louisiana, and Missouri are used to demonstrate potential efficiencies. Indiana, for example, saved more than $10 million on 23 projects just by using mechanistic-empirical pavement design.
