Comments On Jan 05, 2013:Have used this several times now and it does work. When you use it, add a little extra more than you think and I don't mean a sprinkle, dump this in your riding base shorts, especially if it is hot and you will be sweating or racing in wet conditions. Once you try it, you will buy it again.

Starbucks Reserve® Sun-Dried Sumatra
Spicy and full-bodied with complex flavors of rhubarb jam and tarragon.
Tasting Notes
Spice & Dried Fruit
Enjoy this with:
A slice of spice cake as the sun rises.
- At a Glance
- Did You Know?
- Starbucks Reserve®
Producer: Wahana Estate
Elevation: 1,300 - 1,500 meters
Coffee Variety: Rasuna
Processing Method: Natural (dry)
The Wahana Estate sits in the mountains surrounding Lake Toba, Indonesia's largest lake and the largest volcanic crater lake in the world. Growing at 1,300 – 1,500 m above sea level, the Rasuna coffee trees in Wahana Estate are shaded by native trees to prevent direct sunlight and allow coffee trees to mature more slowly.
Of the thousands of coffees we encounter in our search for the best, only a precious few are deemed exceptional enough to become Starbucks Reserve® coffees, offered only for limited times at select stores.
- Product Details
This is our first sun-dried Sumatra and it comes from the Wahana Estate.
Until now, we've never offered a sun-dried coffee from Sumatra – a country renowned more for its semi-washed coffees – where a determined generation of farmers is challenging tradition to coax bold, unexpected flavors from the beans. Native to Sumatra, this Rasuna varietal is cultivated on the Wahana Estate, where it matures slowly in the shade of native trees. Once ripe, the cherries are handpicked and laid out in the sun to dry with the pulp on, infusing each bean with the fruits natural sweetness.
This Starbucks Reserve® coffee is available only at select times and stores, so be sure to enjoy it when you can.

A now-vacant housing project where singers Diana Ross and the Supremes lived before becoming Motown superstars will soon be demolished.Detroit Mayor Dave Bing, along with Housing and Urban Development officials, cued the first of stage of demolition at the massive Frederick Douglass Homes complex, formerly known as the Brewster-Douglass housing project, on Wednesday."In addition to becoming an eyesore on our city's landscape, this site became a haven for criminal behavior," said Bing.Known to most Detroiters as the Brewster projects, the decades-old complex along Interstate 75 has been vacant since the last families were relocated in 2008 due to safety concerns.
It consists of brick condo-like units, six-story buildings and four 14-story towers.A $6.5 million federal grant will help pay for demolition and soil remediation that is expected to pave the way for redevelopment on nearly 18.5 acres of land spanning several city blocks."It's heartbreaking to see it all go," said Eugene Prince, a former Brewster-Douglass resident. "It's something I'll always cherish."The demolition could take up to a year to complete.

Follow me on Twitter
My feedback threadhttp://www.he-man.org/forums/boards/...or-Brian-Ozone
Very nice!
Best Evilseed I have seen!
Is not not licking toads
Very impressive. He looks like he stepped right out of the Filmation cartoon!
I keep forgetting he looked like that originally! Heck, I never heard of 'em until the 200X cartoon (though, if I had seen him as I kid I wouldn't remember). Anyway, as usual, your sculpting has brought him right off the screen. Well done!

Alexx has a blog?! Come on in and check out Toys and Tomfoolery! You won't regret it...until the next morning.
Wonderful again - Joe, you continue to surpass yourself! He has a great cartoon likeness.
I'd love to see the comic closer-up - what I want to know is: what happens?!
Most-wanted MOTUC: Granita - Hunga the Harpy - Spinnerella - Melaktha - Vultak - Dylamug - Crita - Mermista Sprag, Sprocker and Spritina
not a great fan of the "big artichoke", but you really made a good work: congrats!
Very good work! He looks exactly like the cartoon.
Take part in Illumina Day! Let people know who she is and help get her in MOTUC.
You can join the Illumina Facebook page here!
I think I saw that on eBay the other day, I posted it on facebook too.
That head is fantastic Joseephus. I love the detail, the eys and especially the TEETH! I don't remember Evilseed having teeth like that in the toon ... but he should have! You have exceeded even the FILMation artists.
I so hope that if/when Matty get around to Evilseed, they give us a vintage head as well as the modern head.

Holy Shiznit! That is very cool!
pretty awesome dude!
This is awesome!! I love his hands and eyes especially. The color choices are perfect too.
I would imagine this is how he would have looked had Mattel made him. Though, I wonder if they would have used cloth or if they would have made his clothes plastic?

My .org Feedback, and My Ebay For Sale!
I just wanted to thank all of you who posted for your wonderful feedback, it really means a lot to me. I've been sculpting for around 6 months now, and I hope my techniques get even better, as there is much I still need to learn. There are a ton of characters that I still need to make, so I should have some more up in a few weeks. If you have any suggestions for figures you would like to see made, let me know I will try to bring them to life.
Worlds Biggest Meteorb Fan!

This is incredibly awesome.
For your next character I will chose someone totally obvious, " Strong Arm"

Jack Fussell knows what it's like to lose someone you love to Alzheimer's disease. He's far from alone. Close to five million families are dealing with the same diagnosis. That's why the 62-year-old Talking Rock man has taken on the biggest challenge of his life: to run 3,000 miles from Georgia to California.Every day, Fussell gets up and runs, tying to get just a few miles closer to California. "It's going really well, I've done about 340 or 350 miles. And things are just going absolutely great," said Fussell. He's been training for months in the north Georgia mountains to run and walk 3,000 miles, through 12 states from the Georgia coast to Monterey, California.Along the way, Jack hopes to raise $250,000 for the Alzheimer's Association to help find a cure to stop the disease from stealing away people like his father, Leonard Fussell."My dad was a good guy, he tried hard. He worked hard all his life," Fussell said. Fussell says his dad, a World War II vet, survived two ship sinkings back in the war. Then, in his early 70s, prostate cancer. "Had 56 treatments for that. Come out, they announced him 'cancer free,' and then he immediately went into Alzheimer's and was gone within a year and a half," Fussell said. That was when Jack decided to rewrite his own story. Back then, in 2001, he was 100 pounds heavier when he ended up in the emergency room with a bleeding ulcer."And they told me I might have a year to live if I didn't make some major changes. So I started doing a food pyramid diet and light weights and light aerobics, just like you're supposed to do. And in 11 months, I lost 102 pounds," Fussell said. Today Jack weighs 154 pounds and is good enough shape not just to run 3,000 miles, but to push a 60-pound jogging stroller packed with camping supplies."That's my clothes in it, I've got dehydrated food in it," he said. "I thought I would spend maybe every night in my tent. I've spent one night in my tent."Because strangers keep stopping Jack to run with him, buy him lunch or put him up for a night in a warm motel room."Or, like last night, people took me to their home, and I've done that several times. I mean people just coming out of the woodwork to make sure I make it across America," Fussell said. And in almost every town, Jack people want to talk."There's nobody stopping really to ask me about running, or what shoes I wear, or nothing like that; they're stopping to talk about Alzheimer's," he said. On the road, Jack shoots updates on his cellphone to post on his blog, acrosstheland2013.com.
Jack knows Georgia is the easy part."We I get on into the end of Tennessee and into Arkansas, I don't know anybody out there. So, boy I know I'm going to need a lot of encouragement, cause I do need encouragement," said Fussell.But he's convinced he can do this."It just feels to me like I'm supposed to do this. I am supposed to try as hard as I can to make it all the way to Monterey," Fussell said. And God willing, Jack Fussell says, he will.
The Georgia State Patrol gave Jack him some safety training about running on the shoulder of the road. He's clocking anywhere from 16 to 18 miles a day. He hopes to reach Monterey by October.If you want to see the route Jack is taking, or see pictures from the road, visit: www.acrosstheland2013.comRELATED LINK: Alzheimer's Association, www.alz.org

Springtime marks the beginning of running season! Thousands will lace up their tennies and take part in the Avera Race Against Breast Cancer in Sioux Falls on May 10th. 2 years ago, it was my first 5k EVER, and this year I'm going for the 10k! It's the best feeling in the world to cross the finish line.
If you've never taken part in a race, why not make this the year you sign up? It's great motivation to get in shape, lose some weight, get some fresh air, and (usually) help a good cause! NOW is the perfect time to get started. And, it's easier than you may think--no matter what shape you're in! Simpy download the Couch to 5k ap on your smartphone (it comes right up in your ap store) or go to c25k.com.
It's a program that will get you literally off the couch and in 5k shape in no time! It will ease you into running. That way you won't get frustrated or feel overwhelmed from the get go. If you're a seasoned runner, the ap I like to use is Map My Run. It tracks your pace and distance and keeps track of your workouts so you can monitor your progress.

You chose these ladies to stand with you for a reason--they are a significant part of your life. Unfortunately, that doesn't mean you see eye to eye on everything, especially when it comes to style!
Before you shop for your Bridesmaid's dresses, here are 10 things to keep in mind:
1. Your Wedding Theme
Have a good sense of the vibe of your wedding. The styles of dresses you chose should make sense with your theme and personality. If you have purchased your dress, think about what styles would compliment it. If you're struggling with this (trust me, I did too) check out these styling tips
2. Color
Not all colors work well with all skin types and hair colors. Even if pastel pink is one of your primary colors--it could easily wash out a fair skinned bridesmaid. Be extra sensitive if you have a red head in your party!
3. Keep the Basics in Mind
What's the weather going to be like?
What styles are appropriate for the season?
Where is the ceremony being held?
Don't neglect the obvious. Answering basic questions will help you decide fabrics and lengths for your dresses.
4. Comfort is KEY
It is YOUR day and YOUR ultimate decision on the dresses, but don't forget that your wedding is a shared celebration with those you love! You want your girls to be comfortable and ready to let loose with you at the reception. Don't force them into something that will leave them feeling insecure and self conscious. Before getting your heart set on a particular dress, make sure you've considered all the ladies' body types and personal styles. (this may be when you decide on different styles for each)
5. Be Open Minded and Flexible
It's amazing how many options you have! For example, If one of the girls isn't comfortable in strapless, be open to adding some to her dress or finding a hybrid dress with one shoulder strap. It's a great compromise where you both can get what you want. Don't be afraid to bend on the little things. (again, the day will be much more successful if everyone is happy!)
6. Budget
Most bridesmaids dresses start around $175 and can be as spendy as $400 to $500. Have a good idea what your party can each afford before you start trying on dresses.
7. Treat Your Party
Most bridal shops will allow snacks as you try on dresses (no one wants to be around hungry, frustrated ladies!) Bring some goodies along--even a bottle of wine!
8. Bring Your Photographer
..or at least someone with a camera. This is both to keep track of dresses you like and dislike, and capture memories of the day. I brought my photographer along and already I look back at how much fun we had. I'm so thankful we have these fun shots!
9. Never ask "What do you WANT to wear"
You'll get a different answer every time. Make sure to have a backbone and a plan of what YOU want as you head into the appointment. Then the compromising can begin. If you start with what THEY want, you may never end up with something to please them all.
Maybe I'm just lucky to have such great ladies in my life...but we had an absolute blast finding 'the dress'. (the wine didn't hurt a bit!)
We are going to have such a great time together at the wedding!

DETROIT – If Mayor Bing and the City Council are serious about wiping out waste then they might consider cutting-out their toilet paper.
The two offices spend about $1,500 per month for TP, which might not seem like a whole lot in the face of a $195 million deficit. But then consider that the city asked the school children to bring their own end wipes a few years ago when the school district ran out of money.
At the very least they could use both sides of the industrial one-ply, if only to show solidarity with the people.
I went down to City Hall on Thursday to watch the latest installment of Detroit Government puppet theater. With the city on the verge of financial collapse Mayor Bing showed up with a fiscal plan so short on meat, you could only call it bone soup.
Hizzoner offered up this peach: the city will immediately save $20 million managing the city's overtime better.
Seriously? Bing didn't tell us how he was going to manage overtime any different than he did two years ago.
And then consider no city department has offered its proposed budget for the next fiscal year – due a month ago -- because the mayor is too involved with his poorly crafted budget for this fiscal year to deal with it. Believe it or not, things could get even worse in Detroit.
The council mocked the mayor, as they should have. The Lansing take-over is in the works and they're all going to be on the bread line with their constituents.
I noticed the council members were drinking bottled water paid for by you the tax payer. It's also worth noting that the nine city council members get 12 weeks vacation a year. Twelve weeks!
They get generous health care benefits, pensions, seven police officers to protect them and cars and gas paid for by the residents of the poorest big city in America.
Most other municipalities have a part-time council. But not Detroit. Detroit's Council is in fact among the costliest in America. ( Read Pew Report, click here )
When Council Member Gary Brown proposed last month that the council give back its cell phones and cars and cut its budget by $4million, his colleagues scoffed.
"Let's not engage in a race to the bottom," said Councilman Ken Cockrel. His colleagues agreed that Detroit has already hit rock bottom, thanks in large part to the council's boating skills. The proposal was voted down.
Brown is sick to his stomach. "This isn't rocket science," he told me. "When you are an executive you need to lead by example. You sacrifice before the union employees. You don't wait until they're cut first. That's following, not leading."
So here we are: laying off police, towing away ambulances and shutting down firehouses while the council hordes cops, even though half the council members pack pistols. I asked Brown about the toilet paper.
"If we had any kind of management sense down here, we would be buying the toilet paper through a co-op," he said. "Then we could all be using Cottonelle."

There was a lot of chatter today at the courthouse about the somnolent juror.
And by chatter, I mean nattering by reporters
speculating on the purpose of the quick meeting Judge Nancy Edmunds
called with the lawyers at the start of the morning's first break.
Since testimony started last week, the courtroom has
been atwitter -- not to be confused with being on Twitter, which is
strictly verboten from the courtroom -- about a juror who occasionally
has closed his or her eyes for extended periods. (I use "his or her" not
because the juror is androgynous -- on the contrary, they are a fine
specimen of their gender -- but because the judge has threatened to
stone any reporter who makes more than a vague reference that could
identify a juror. So, to keep things copacetic, henceforth I will refer
to the juror as "Pat.")
Courtroom observers say Pat fought valiantly today
with the Sand Man, but ultimately surrendered, putting his or her chin
in his or her hands to get a good start on an apparently sorely-needed
40 winks.
I have a pretty good vantage point on the jury, but I
didn't notice Pat nod off. I don't doubt my fellow reporters, though
they occasionally get a little carried away. Last week, for example, a
colleague nudged me to point out that one of the older jurors had faded
out. I could see, however, that he simply had his head down while
earnestly scribbling notes.
It's worth noting that since jury selection began on
Sept. 6, I've seen more than a few of the defendants and the lawyers
hang their heads involuntarily (but, thankfully, I haven't spotted any
droolers). Even I was accused of zoning out one day last week. My
accuser was wrong. That time. As for other occasions, well, I'll just
take the Fifth.
While a juror who can't absorb the arguments is a
serious matter -- particularly this early on in a trial that is expected
to last four months -- there are a few issues worth considering before
giving Pat a night cap and thanking him or her for his or her time.
First, before putting all the blame on Pat's
shoulders, the lawyers may want to consider how their occasionally
tedious and methodical questioning could anesthetize a spastic.
Second, most of the folks out on the street -- the
very peers we want to sit in judgment of us -- would have a hard time
keeping their eyelids apart during some of the testimony. (Example:
"Would you please look at this piece of paper?" "OBJECTION! How do we
know it's paper?" "Sustained. Please provide evidence that the thing in
your hand was once part of a tree…")
Third, if you're having trouble staying up for the
stars of the federal bar on Monday morning, it may be because you were
under the stars shutting the bars on Sunday night.
That last point may make you a less than ideal
candidate for this jury, it makes you exactly my kind of person for a
night on the town!
In the meantime, Pat, keep your chin up. Remember, we're all in this together ...

"You have to feel it and see it," David Yurman says. He's speaking of texture, an indispensible element of every design he creates. Cabled, polished, and hammered metal are combined with diamond pavé and smooth and faceted stones to create a feast for sight and touch.
David Yurman's oval link designs turn a classic shape into a contemporary design. Interlocking ovals of different materials, textures, shapes, and sizes gracefully adorn the wrist or encircle the neck. Worn alone, layered, or embellished with a charm, these designs evoke versatility and originality.

Full Mattress Buying Guide
Having the right mattress can help you get a full night's sleep so that you can wake up well rested and full of energy to tackle your day ahead. Choosing the right full mattress for yourself is a personal decision as your sleeping posture is unique to you. However, having said that, you should keep some things in mind when buying a full mattress:
- Many people believe that a full mattress which is hard is better; this is not true. You should buy a full mattress which offers the right support.
- A full mattress is available in a wide range of comfort and support levels. Comfort level can include a mattress which is plush, plus pillow top, ultra plush pillow top, memory foam and more, while support levels include the number of coils in the full mattress and the way the coil is constructed.
- Take your time in selecting a good full mattress; browse by manufacturers and specification to find a full mattress that exactly fits into what you are looking for.
Shop our selection of high-quality brand name full mattresses today at Sam's Club.

PHOENIX (AP) - A Phoenix man has been sentenced to 18 years in prison in connection with the 2010 death of his young niece.
Maricopa County prosecutors say 49-year-old Leonard Orta Jr. was sentenced Friday.
They say he earlier pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in a plea agreement.
Orta was arrested in February 2010 after the body of 5-year-old Kaiya Kapahu was found in an apartment by her grandfather.
Authorities say Orta was the girl's caregiver since July 2010 and she suffered from Rett syndrome, a neurological disorder that made her prone to seizures.
Orta was accused of intentionally withholding his niece's medication and nutrition.
Investigators say Orta had been caring for the girl because the treatment she needed wasn't available in Hawaii.

Coco may have Hawaiian surf royalty running through her blood—she is the daughter of Mike Ho, the niece of Derrick Ho, and the sister of Mason Ho—but she's got a rough-and-tumble, savvy new style all her own that makes her one of the toughest newcomers in the surf. Born and raised on Oahu, Coco cut her teeth on the island's infamous surf, quickly showing herself a worthy heir to the Ho throne. Appearing out of nowhere on the Association of Surfing Professional's Women's World Stage through the ASP WQS, Coco had no problem fitting in with the hard-as-nails competition, and even nabbed the 2009 ASP Rookie of the Year award, finishing as the top-rated Hawaiian female in the world. Going on to the ASP Women's World Tour along with the highly watched 'New Guard', Cokes was in the lead: distinguished by her faultless moves and professional approach to competition, she singled herself out by being the only rookie to take home a win when she got the Rip Curl Pro Search, beating out former ASP Women's World Champion, Chelsea Hedges. 2010 saw Coco finish 7th in the ASP Women's World Tour, place 1st at the Maresia Girls International ASP WQS and grab a "bronze" for third place in the Surfer Poll Awards.
Coco's ease under all surf conditions, impressively broad repertoire of maneuvers, and the matchless performances she's got under her belt make her a serious threat in the water. Appearing in the 2007 film Heart of a Soul Surfer, and the 2010 production Six Days in Paradise, Coco's international profile keeps on rising.
Anything progressive.

• Gossip Girl (Facebook, BlogSpot or Skype)

CCSF Evans Campus Room 110: 1400 Evans St @ Mendell St.
Self-regulation is the ability to manage our personal experience including our physical responses, emotions, thought processes, and behaviors. Self-regulation skills are first learned from caregivers. When these caregivers are unresponsive, inconsistent, abusive, or unpredictable, it negatively affects the child's sense of safety and their relationship with the world. In the absence of reliable supports, children who experience repeated trauma develop impaired self-regulation that includes chronic distress, disconnect from emotions, limited coping skills, and a focus on survival. Review how to support youth in developing self-regulation skills and in learning cognitive and behavioral strategies to manage their personal experience, develop positive coping skills, and improve their wellbeing. Discuss the development of self-regulation skills in youth from childhood through adolescence, including the role of caregivers and the impact of trauma. Review the components of self-regulation. Study cognitive and behavioral strategies for each component, including identifying warning signs and relaxation techniques (physical response skills), monitoring emotions and recognizing triggers (emotional skills), changing negative beliefs and thinking (cognitive skills), and communication skills and evaluating choices (behavioral skills). Learn how to apply self-regulation skills when working with youth on specific issues including depression, anger, trauma, and anxiety.

Do you ever struggle with how close or distant your relationships with your clients should be in order to maintain your ability to be helpful and therapeutic? We provide services to our youth and their families in their own homes, in schools and in their communities; this can be confusing for us and for our clients as to what our roles are and what kinds of relationships are being developed with our clients. The true helping relationship requires clear relationship boundaries so that we don't unintentionally exploit our clients or experience "burn out". This training clarifies what we mean by boundaries, ways in which we might be overstepping them, what is meant by dual relationships, and issues regarding the boundaries relating to physical contact with our kids.

150 Executive Park Blvd., First Floor Conference Room SF
For years we have been told to be "strength-based and client centered", however, we have not typically been told what this really means. In our field, we often focus on the negative events that have occurred or the pathology that a client and their family members seem to present with. We forget, in the midst of all of the difficulties, that everyone has strengths and abilities and good intentions. This training focuses on the importance of teaming with family members from the beginning and offers a variety of case plan strategies to create a family friendly process that will increase our ability to engage effectively with families who just don't want to work with us! We will also clarify what it means in terms of our work to be "strength-based".

GarageGames to Focus on In-browser 3D Gaming; Majority Stake Acquired by IACGarageGames plans to announce today it will be working with interactive media company IAC/InterActiveCorp on a new service providing in-browser 3D action gaming. The move is part of a deal that sees billionaire Barry Diller's IAC take a majority stake in the developer. The Wall Street Journal broke the news early; Shacknews has verified its accuracy with GarageGames.
Currently, the InstantAction website consists of only a form to submit an email address to be kept updated with news regarding the service. The company plans to launch a test program before the official launch early next year.
Shacknews has learned that though GarageGames is spearheading the effort and developing a browser-based gaming platorm, several other notable developers have signed on as well. The studio plans to elaborate on its plans in the near future. It may make further announcements at its yearly IndieGamesCon event to be held October 10-11.
In recent months, the company has more than quintupled its staff, allowing it to retain its existing Torque support while taking a more proactive role in original game development. GarageGames was founded in 2000 by former Dynamix developers responsible for multiplayer classic Starsiege: Tribes. Best known for its PC and Xbox 360 Torque game development tools, which recently expanded to Wii, it also developed the Xbox Live Arcade game Marble Blast Ultra.

GENERIC NAME: conjugated equine estrogens and medroxyprogesterone acetate
BRAND NAME: Prempro, Premphase
DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Prempro and Premphase are combinations of conjugated estrogens (Premarin) and medroxyprogesterone (Provera). Estrogens and progestins are the two major classes of female hormones. Conjugated estrogens are a mixture of several different estrogens (estrogen salts) that are derived from natural sources and blended to approximate the composition of estrogens in the urine of pregnant horses. The main components are sodium estrone sulphate and sodium equilin sulfate. Estrogens have widespread effects on many tissues in the body. Estrogens cause growth and development of the female sexual organs and maintain female sexual characteristics such as the growth of underarm and pubic hair, body contours, and skeleton. Estrogens also increase secretions from the cervix and growth of the inner lining of the uterus (endometrium). Medroxyprogesterone is a derivative of progesterone, a naturally occurring female progestin. Progestins are responsible for changes in the mucus and inner lining of the uterus (endometrium) during the second half (secretory phase) of the menstrual cycle. Progestins prepare the endometrium for implantation of the embryo. Once an embryo implants in the endometrium, for example, and pregnancy occurs, progestins help maintain the pregnancy. At high doses, progestins can prevent ovulation (release of the egg from the ovary) and thereby prevent pregnancy. The FDA approved Prempro and Premphase in June 2003.
PRESCRIPTION: Yes
GENERIC AVAILABLE: No
STORAGE: Prempro and Premphase should be stored at room temperature between 15-30 C (59-86 F).
PRESCRIBED FOR: Prempro and Premphase are prescribed for women with a uterus who are experiencing hot flashes, vaginal dryness, vaginal atrophy, uterine bleeding and other symptoms associated with menopause. They also are approved for treating osteoporosis; however, other drugs usually are prescribed for this purpose.
DOSING: One tablet of Prempro should be taken daily. The lowest effective dose should be used. For either hot flashes or osteoporosis, patients are most often started at a dose of 0.3 mg/1.5 mg. For women with hot flashes, the dose is adjusted depending on the response of the hot flashes.
Patients should take one tablet of Premphase daily starting with the 0.625 mg conjugated estrogen tablets for 14 days (days 1 to 14) followed by one tablet daily of the 0.625/5 mg conjugated estrogen/medroxyprogesterone tablets for 14 days (days 14 to 28).
DRUG INTERACTIONS: Drugs such as St. John's Wort (Hypericum perforatum), phenobarbital, carbamazepine (Tegretol, Tegretol XR, Equetro, Carbatrol), and rifampin may increase break-down of estrogens in the liver, reducing blood levels of estrogens and possibly reducing the effect of estrogens. Erythromycin, clarithromycin (Biaxin, Biaxin XL), ketoconazole (Nizoral, Extina, Xolegel, Kuric), itraconazole (sporanox), ritonavir (Norvir) and grapefruit juice may reduce break-down of estrogens in the liver, increasing blood concentrations of estrogens and possibly increasing side effects of estrogens.
