Once -- many, many years ago -- I thought I made a wrong decision. Of course, it turned out that I had been right all along. But I was wrong to have thought that I was wrong.
The measure of success is not whether you have a tough problem to deal with, but whether it's the same problem you had last year.
The ability to get to the verge without getting into the war is the necessary art. If you try to run away from it, if you are scared to go to the brink, you are lost.

An emergency is any situation where there is risk to human life and/or personal safety, or when a crime is in progress. In the event of an emergency on campus, emergency services are available by calling dispatch at 9(911). Law enforcement, fire protection and emergency medical services are all dispatched from this location.
In the event of an off-campus emergency simply dial 911 which will ring into the local authorities.
Anyone who has been a victim of a crime or witnessed a crime is strongly encouraged to report the incident to University officials. Campus security will offer assistance in contacting local authorities and will cooperate with any criminal investigation that may result. For non-emergency situations, students and employees should call Campus Security at 283-6333.
University officials will investigate reports of alleged crimes in a timely manner. In some cases, the University may request the assistance of local law enforcement officials in the investigation.
Victims of a crime who do not want to pursue action within the University system or criminal justice system may make a confidential report with the assistant vice president of Student Life.
When the alleged perpetrators of a reported crime are identified as students, the case will be adjudicated internally and the investigation will be the responsibility of the Vice President of Student Life (and/or those appointed by him/her).
Internal judicial or disciplinary measures by the University are not intended to replace or interfere with action in the criminal justice system. Victims of crimes retain the legal right to pursue criminal charges in addition to any internal investigation or proceedings. Criminal investigation by local law enforcement officials, arrest and prosecution can occur independently before, during or after the campus judicial process or employee disciplinary actions. Likewise, the University may pursue its own internal disciplinary measures independent of whether or not criminal charges are filed and/or whether or not they are successfully prosecuted in the criminal justice system
Sexual Assault crimes procedures can be found in Section V.

Type II diabetes on the rise among children
A recent study found that diabetes in young adults and children is much harder to control with common drugs and medication than in older adults. The study highlights that in 39% of 700 young adults tracked in the study, a combination of two or more drugs failed to control the disease! I guess the pressure is now on to combat diabetes as much as possible at its source which is to prevent obesity and monitor health and proper diets of young adults. This can be done by parents and guardians, and schools and institutions could even restrict the types of foods they give to students. Either way this is a growing problem that is seemingly uncontrollable through the easy method of popping a pill or two.

|Royal New Kent - Slideshow
Email This Page
Photo © Jay Flemma, A Walk in the Park; used with permission
Royal New Kent opened in Providence Forge, Va., in 1997, and has grown in stature ever since. It was named Best New Upscale Public Course in the U.S. the year of its opening by Golf Digest, and has made that publication's Top 100 list. Golf Magazine has praised Royal New Kent, too, named one of the Top 100 You Can Play.
Royal New Kent tips out at 7,374 yards, and those tees carry a 152 slope and 76.5 course rating. Jay Flemma writes of those tees that they can only be played by golfers who "leave their driver's license or credit card at the pro shop. These are returned in exchange for the players' scorecards upon completion of their rounds. Scorecards are displayed in the clubhouse grill room for the amusement of all."
Architect Mike Strantz fashioned Royal New Kent after inland links courses in Ireland. While much of the course is surrounded by tree, almost all of them are well outside the playing areas. Royal New Kent features deep bunkers, windswept fescue and dunes. There are blind but open approaches to large, multi-tiered greens, and forced carries.
Writes Flemma: "Everything at RNK is huge - the bunkers, the greens, the forced carries - everything. The end result is a fierce and intimidating behemoth of a golf course ... players (make) the pilgrimage for a true and unique test of their talent and psyche. When you think you are good, come to Royal New Kent."

A Hopkins County man pleads guilty to an array of charges in the shooting of his ex-girlfriend two years ago. That's according to our media partner, the Madisonville Messenger.
29-year-old Kevin Van Buren was charged with attempted murder, first-degree burglary, tampering with evidence, receiving stolen property and wanton endangerment.
Authorities say, in September 2011, Van Buren broke into the Earlington home of Ciarra Robinson and tried to kill her.
Robinson recovered from her injuries.
Her two young children were home during the attack but were not hurt.
Due to the violent nature of the crimes officials say Van Buren will have to serve 85% of his 15 year sentence before he is eligible for parole.
Formal sentencing is expected on October 7.

2011 Ford Mustang GT and 5.0-liter V8 unwrapped early
by John Neff (RSS feed) on Dec 25th, 2009 at 1:30AM
Thanks to some embargo breaking that's already occurred, we've known for a week that the 2011 Ford Mustang GT would pack a brand new 5.0-liter V8 producing 412 horsepower and 390 pound-feet of torque. We thought those tidbits might hold over the internet 'till the official embargo date lifts early next week, but we were wrong and therefore are still awake at 1:30 AM on Christmas morning writing this post. Thanks to Jalopnik via MustangHeaven via BurlappCars, we have the first images of the 2011 Mustang GT and its new 5.0-liter V8. You can read more about some of the engine's details... Read More

Shropshire crime maps pinpoint hotspots for offences
Anti-social behaviour has been highlighted as the scourge of town centres across Shropshire and Mid Wales on a new-look police website.
Anti-social behaviour has been highlighted as the scourge of town centres across Shropshire and Mid Wales on a new-look police website.
The crime-mapping website www.police.uk has been extended to show crimes which happen near 'hotspots' such as nightclubs, parks and shopping areas.
By May, it is intended that the site will also show what happened to offenders, including whether anyone was arrested, charged or sent to prison.
Of the 1,195 crimes recorded in Shrewsbury, Telford, Oswestry, Ludlow, Market Drayton, Bridgnorth and Welshpool in December 2011, 503 – 42 per cent – were complaints of anti-social behaviour.
Click on the image to the right to see the town crime maps
Police spokesman Chris Ammonds said the new detail helped put crime figures into context.
He said: "For example, a street might show a high number of crimes, but the figure would be more meaningful if the site also showed that there were a lot of shops on that street which had reported shoplifting offences.
"It's an acknowledgement that there are certain things that will always attract more crime, so it's a more realistic picture."
He said anti-social behaviour would generally be expected to be higher in areas where people gather in numbers, or near pubs and nightclubs.
In Shropshire, Shrewsbury had the most recorded crime with 328 offences, of which 148 were anti-social behaviour.
Castle Gates is highlighted as a hotspot for anti-social behaviour, with 10 recorded offences, and there were four violent crimes near the bus stops in Barker Street.
In Telford town centre, anti-social behaviour accounted for 98 of the 297 recorded offences. Shoplifting was the next highest problem with 51 reports.
The map shows that offences in the TF3 area are concentrated around the shopping centre, with small clusters close to the nightclubs and pubs.
Crime is spread quite evenly across Ludlow town centre, although there was a cluster of anti-social behaviour complaints on or near the Bull Ring and three violent crimes were recorded on High Street.
Violent crime was a particular problem in Oswestry in December, with 18 per cent of the 194 offences recorded in that category - including four in or around New Street.
Anti-social behaviour still accounted for more than half the crimes, with 102 reported.
Northgate and High Street proved to be the crime hotspot in Bridgnorth, with all but four of the 17 offences committed in the area classed as anti-social behaviour.
Just over 40 per cent of crimes in Market Drayton were deemed anti-social behaviour, particularly inside the ring road, but the town had the lowest percentage of violent crime.
Welshpool bucked the trend, with criminal damage proving the biggest problem in the Mid Wales town. There were 12 incidents of criminal damage or arson recorded in or near Westwood Park alone.
Home Secretary Theresa May said the Government was giving the public more information than ever before about crime and policing in their areas through street-level crime maps.
"Since October the public have been able to use the police.uk website to see how their force performs in a range of areas like crime rates, quality of service and victim satisfaction," she said.
"Today we'll launch the next stage of crime mapping, in which we'll start to map crimes to or near a range of public places like railway stations, nightclubs, parks and shopping areas.
"By May, crime maps will show the public what happens after a crime has occurred - what action the police took and what the criminal justice outcome was.
"You'll be able to see if the criminal was arrested, charged and sent to prison."
Police.uk received more hits than any other Government website last year.

Great news! We have 2 variations of the ISUZU TROOPER Transmission for the 1996 model year. There are several different Transmissions because there were a number of model options for the ISUZU TROOPER line of vehicles in 1996. Please review the Transmission specifications below and pick the Transmission that best fits your need, and either purchase the Transmission online using our secure and convenient checkout or call us at (888) 883-4466 to discuss with one of our Transmission specialists.
Please Click Add To Cart for Shipping and Warranty options.
About ISUZU
The Isuzu Company was formed in 1916 and in 1918 they forged a union with the UK based Wolseley Motor Company. Their debut car was the A9. In 1953, they rolled out the Hillman Minx passenger car that came from a union with the UK Company, Rootes. In the 60's they launched passenger cars which included the Florian and 117 Coupe. They have always been at the forefront of automotive engineering of passenger vehicles.
After their affiliation with General Motors, Isuzu began marketing and selling their vehicles in the American market. The initial response was superior and favorable. The Bellett GT was very popular and was known by the nickname of Bele GT. Unfortunately the company's previous good fortune declined and they were being outclassed by newer and fresher models designed by the competitors. Only two products are sold under the Isuzu nameplate today and they are both designed after General Motors products.

The students met with the composer to develop the theme of the piece, and settled on basing the music on the 1963 UFO sightings near Exeter.

Tell Your Senator: Hunting in National Parks is THE WORST IDEA! »
Don't let this finger be a gun!! Photo by Furryscaly on flickr.com
Hunting: Not as terrible as factory farms on the spectrum of evil, but still not the favorite thing of we, the vegans. Hunting in National Parks where it's been heretofore prohibited? SO NOT A GOOD IDEA.
But there's a bill in the Senate right now that could open a bunch of national park lands (especially the weird ones, like "national historic parks"), to hunting. The National Parks Conservation Association is asking us citizens to contact our senators and tell them to fix it!
Here's the thing: the NCPA is only worried about the national parks. They want the senators to just change a few words to make sure the parks are clearly excluded from this new hunting law. I'm on board with that, and it seems a battle they might actually win if they get enough people to call.
But they're not opposing the Sportsman Heritage Act as a whole. Which is something you might want to consider. It makes it OK to import dead polar bears from Canada, and helps support hunting on other federal land. Either way, give a call/write your leaders so they know not to let people kill squirrels at the Frederick Douglass Memorial, so f-ed up!

Vegan action alert: Solano County SPCA needs help RIGHT NOW!! »
Hey Vegansaurus readers! Eve at the SF Appeal calls our attention to a serious situation at the Solano County SPCA! On Thursday, Dec. 17, 83 puppies were rescued from California Pets & Supply in Dixon, which appears to have been a front for a pretty big puppy mill operation. The shelter presently has 100 total dogs and puppies from that rescue operation, some as young as six weeks old, and is in dire need of supplies and money.
The SCSPCA requests the following
Cleaning Supplies
Simple Green
scrub brushes
newspaper (without shiny ads)
large trash bags
gloves (latex or non-latex)
shop vac
Puppy Care
blankets, towels, sheets, &c.
carpet squares
puppy shampoo
puppy food (Kirkland brand from Costco, or Healthwise)
puppy toys (used is fine as long as they are clean)
food and water dishes, preferably that can clip to the side of a kennel
water bottles (rabbit-cage size)
Polar fleece
heating pads
laundry detergent
dish soap
crates/kennels of any size
gift certificates to any pet store, Costco or Sam's Club
Bring these supplies to the SCSPCA at 2200 Peabody Rd. in Vacaville, or donate online. For further information, call 707.448.7722 or email.
[Ed. note: Of course, give your conscience; if you aren't comfortable donating non-vegan items, choose other things! It's most important to help out these poor, sick, little baby puppies, right? Of course it is.]

Key information
Santa Clarita, California, USA
Six Flags
Official website:
Click here
One of the flagship parks in the Six Flags chain, Six Flags Magic Mountain has more roller coasters than any theme park on the planet (19). Located in Santa Clarita, California, it is heavily focused on thrill rides, although two children's areas (Whistlestop Park and Bugs Bunny World) do offer a handful of kids' attractions. Among the park's biggest hitters are the X2 fourth-dimension coaster, the enormous Goliath hypercoaster and the world's tallest drop tower, Lex Luthor: Drop of Doom.
History: The park first opened in 1971, when it was known simply as Magic Mountain. A large number of its original rides (and many of those added later) were constructed by Arrow Developments, a company that later went bust after losing millions on the development of the park's X2 roller coaster. It was purchased by Six Flags in 1979, and moved away from a family audience to focus almost exclusively on teenagers and young adults. The infamous "coaster wars" with Cedar Point followed, resulting in a huge number of roller coasters being installed at both parks. With Six Flags struggling financially, the park was put up for sale in 2006, with arch-rival Cedar Fair linked with a takeover. Ultimately, though, attendance improved and Six Flags opted to retain it.

AARP Bulletin DOP Michael Wichita called me up a few months ago — actually, while I was in Denver for Geekfest – needing an in-house mock up made so he could pitch an illustration idea to his bosses for a big story they're doing on the kind of people who use Social Security. He needed it ASAP! So, I grabbed whoever was closest: Denver Post staff video shooter Mahala Gaylord and Denver-based freelancer Ben Rasmussen. Oh. and that's me on the left.
Michael sent me a fast drawing of his idea: …which I LOVE!
The idea is to make a white seamless portrait of several Social Security recipients and explain their situations with written vignettes.
This is Michael's idea put to work. It's the promo piece for the story.
The story section looks a little different. You can see it here.
I photographed one recipient from Baltimore, Dr. Timothy Modlin. Here's his vignette.
I was told to make a mugshot, too. – which I kinda like.And of course what kind of a friend would I be if I didn't show the outtakes from the mock-up shoot in Denver?Cheers!

CorningWare (also written "Corning Ware") was originally a brand name for a unique pyroceramic glass cookware resistant to thermal shock. It was first introduced in 1958 by Corning Glass Works. CorningWare is notable for the fact that it can be used directly on the stovetop.
In 1953, Dr. S. Donald Stookey of the Corning Research and Development Division invented Pyroceram, a white glass-ceramic material capable of withstanding a thermal shock (sudden temperature change) of up to 450 °C (840 °F). It evolved from materials originally developed for a U.S. ballistic missile program, and Stookey's research involved heat-resistant material for nose cones.[1]
Patterns and products[edit]
Corning Ware's range/oven-to-table service first featured the blue 'Cornflower' pattern decoration, designed by Joseph Baum, an artist at the Charles Brunelle Advertising Agency in Hartford, Connecticut. It became the trademark of Corning consumer products for three decades. Following the 'Cornflower' pattern, many additional patterns were offered by Corning over the years. Care must be made to distinguish between CorningWare patterns for cookware made of Pyroceram, and patterns for tableware marketed under the Corelle or Pyrex brand names, all by Corning. Many Corning Ware patterns were also used for Corelle tableware, which can make distinguishing difficult.
Those patterns which included cookware made of Pyroceram are: Abundance, All/Just White, All/Just Beige, American Oil Star/Snowflake, April, Avocado (round), Avocado Medallion (Shell Oil), Black Trefoil, Blue Dusk, Blue Hearts, Blue Heather, Blue Medallion (Shell Oil), Blue Scroll, Blue Velvet, Butterscotch (Round), Callaway, Calypso, Classic Black, Country Cornflower, Country Cottage, Country Festival, Deco, Delicious, Duck, English Breakfast, English Meadow, Evening Song, European Herbs, Farm Fresh, Floral Bouquet, Forever Yours, French Bisque, French Bleu, French White (also with blue or gold rims), French White II, Fresh Cut, Friendship, Fruit Basket, Garden Cat, Garden Harvest, Harvest (square), Indian Summer, Jardin, Laurel, Lynwood Green, Lyrics, Merry Mushroom (round), Mille Fleur, Morning Glory, My Garden, Natures Bounty, Needle Point (JC Penney Exclusive), Oceanview, Orchard Rose, Pastel Bouquet, Peach Floral, Peach Garland, Peony, Pink Trio, Platinum Filigree, Provincial Blue, Quilt, Renaissance, Rosemarie, Shadow Iris, Shangri-La, Silk & Roses, Simple Lines, Spice o' Life, Stix, Strawberry Sundae, Summer Blush, Summerhill, Sunsation, Symphony, Wheat, Wheat Sheaf (Green Wheat), White Flora, Wildflower and Vineyard.
More than 750 million pieces of Corning Ware's range/oven-to-table service have been manufactured since its inception. A partial product list includes: browning skillets, cake pans, casserole dishes, coffee pots, dinner service, dutch ovens, frying pans, grab-it bowls, loaf pans, percolators, pie plates, ramekins, restaurant ware, roasters, sauce pans, skillets, souffle dishes, and teapots.
The original pyroceramic glass version of CorningWare was removed from the U.S. market in the late 1990s. [2]
Originally manufactured by Corning Glass Works, the CorningWare and Corelle brand names are now owned by World Kitchens Incorporated of Rosemont, Illinois, which relaunched the brand name in 2001.[3]
The World Kitchens's 2001 annual report shows that the stovetop and dinnerware product lines were halted at the end of the century "as part of a program designed to reduce costs through the elimination of under-utilized capacity, unprofitable product lines, and increased utilization of the remaining facilities."[1] Facilities in Charleroi, Pennsylvania and Clinton, Illinois were closed. Several of the Corelle patterns have been discontinued since 2010. One of these was the very popular 'Abundance' pattern.
Reintroduction of CorningWare and Pyroflam[edit]
In 2009, the stovetop line of CorningWare was reintroduced by World Kitchens. The cookware is manufactured by Keraglass/Eurokera (a subsidiary of Corning also specialised in vitroceramics for cooktop panels and equipment for laboratories) in Bagneaux-Sur-Loing, France. This is the only factory in the world still manufacturing vitroceramics (aluminosilicate glass) for cookware. At the time it restarted the production of CorningWare, Keraglass/Eurokera was able to abandon the use of arsenic in the manufacture of their vitroceramics, thanks to the modern technology of their newly built oven.
In Europe, it is ARC who sells equivalent cookware to CorningWare under the name Pyroflam with a slightly different design. Since 2009, Pyroflam has been manufactured in the same French factory as CorningWare.
The lids of CorningWare and Pyroflam are not made of vitroceramic material. The lids of pieces in the Visions and Pyroflam Amber lines are made soda-lime glass, and lids for the white collection are made of borosilicate glass. Unlike the vitroceramic cookware, these lids cannot touch burners or fire directly, but they do fine in the oven (if not touching the source of heat) or on the stovetop, as long as they are over their vitroceramic bases.
CorningWare is sold worldwide, and it is popular in Canada, United States, and Australia.
Other manufacturers of similar oven-to-table products[edit]
World Kitchens sells similar looking products under the CorningWare brand name that are common white glazed stoneware. The packaging for these newer CorningWare branded cookware products say specifically that they are not for stovetop use.
World Kitchens does still sell Pyroceram Corning Ware to its Asia–Pacific market. These items can be purchased in local department stores there. Additional patterns have been created for this market, including Bliss, Blue Elegance, Country Rose, Dainty Flora, Dandy Blossoms, Elegant City, European Herbs, Herb Country, Lilyville, Lush, Petite Trio, Plum, Salad Seasons and Warm Pansies.
Corelle is the brand name for the highly break-resistant glass dishware, using a special hub lamination process that thermally bonds three layers of glass — a core center surrounded by top and bottom layers of "skin" or "glaze" glass. The glass was decorated using unique enamels that actually became a part of the glass, creating durable, scratch-resistant designs.[4] Both of these products were originally developed by the Corning Glass Works in Corning, New York.

By S. Thomas Coleman
For the AJC
Perhaps the halftime shoot around is overrated.
After being down by as many as 25 points late in the second quarter, and trailing by 18 at the half, Grady head coach Brian Weeden kept his team in the locker room during the entire intermission period. By the time the Grey Knights came out it was time to take the floor.
And then they proceeded to take the game. Guard Avi Toomer's three-pointer from the right wing with :03 seconds left in regulation sent the game into overtime tied at 64, and then center Brandon Watkins' two-handed dunk with :06 seconds left in the extra period lifted Grady to a 72-70 win over South Atlanta. The Grey Knights, ranked No. 10 in the Class AAAA AJC Top 10, and the Hornets, ranked No. 6, are now tied for the early lead in Region 6-Division B.
"I just told them that I can't go out and make plays for them," Weeden, in his first year at Grady, said of his lengthy halftime speech. "All I can do is put them in position to make plays. We came out flat and intimidated."
Indeed, Grady looked dead in the water early. South Atlanta led 18-8 after the first quarter, and 22-10 at the start of the second before a three by Grady's Tyris Walker reduced the lead back to single digits.
But in a four-minute span the Hornets went on a 18-5 run, which included a 12-0 spurt, and pushed their lead to 40-15 with just over two minutes left in the half. South Atlanta employed a pesky two-three zone that kept plenty of bodies around the 6-foot-9 Watkins, who has committed to West Virginia. At the same time, the quick feet and active hands of South Atlanta guards D'Quantius Bloodworth, Derrick Byrd and Costa Anderson, made Walker and Toomer work hard to find open looks at the basket on the perimeter.
Offensively, the Hornets were red hot as Anderson's three-pointer from the corner, followed by Jonathan Range's three-point play on South Atlanta's next possession produced the 25-point lead with two minutes left in the half.
Grady planted the seeds for its comeback by ending the second quarter on a 7-0 run that included a trey by Walker and buckets by Shawn Rushing and Jonathan Boatner. During the surge, that trimmed the South Atlanta lead to 40-22, the Grey Knights tightened up on defense.
"It's my first year and so we're still getting used to my system," Weeden said. "We play hard, man-to-man defense for the full 94 feet of the court, and I told them that's how we get back in the game, getting stops. When you get stops, the offense will come."
And it came in abundance in the second half. Grady outscored South Atlanta 21-13 in the third quarter to pull within 10 points at the start of the fourth. An 11-4 run to start the period cut the Hornet lead to 57-54.
Range stopped the bleeding with a short jumper and then nearly held Grady off all by himself, scoring nine of South Atlanta's 11 points in the quarter. His put back off the glass gave the Hornets a 64-59 lead with a minute left in regulation. On Grady's next possession Range blocked an attempted dunk by Watkins with just :50 seconds left. But, with Grady retaining possession, Watkins made good on a short lay up. At the other end of the floor, Byrd missed the front end of a one-and-one with :15 second remaining. Grady took possession and Toomer's trey sent the game into overtime as the crowd went berserk.
In the extra session, Grady led 70-66 with just :23 seconds left after a deep three-pointer by Walker and a free-throw by Chad Winfrey. But South Atlanta tied the game after a bucket by Anderson and a short jumper by Range, which came after a five-second inbound violation was called on Grady.
But following Range's basket, the Hornets somehow lost sight of Watkins, who snuck behind the defense and dunked home the winning basket with just :06 seconds left.
South Atlanta (70) – Jonathan Range 24, Costa Anderson 15, Terrance Lindley 9, Naquavius King 6, Quendarian Miller 5, Kertiss Baisden 4, Derrick Byrd 3, D'Quantius Bloodworth 2, Trevion Webb 2.
Grady (72) – Tyris Walker 23, Brandon Watkins 16, Kevon Taylor 12, Avi Toomer 12, Marquavious Henry 4, Jonathan Boatner 2, Shawn Rushing 2, Chad Winfrey 1.

Creme de la Femme
Causes of Vaginal Dryness — The Top 10
Media headlines frequently point to "the change" as the primary cause of vaginal dryness. Not true! While menopause and vaginal dryness are closely linked, the condition can occur at any time during a woman's life.
The real issue is estrogen
Whenever estrogen levels fall too low in a woman's bloodstream, vaginal atrophy (tissue shrinkage) and vaginal irritation will inevitably follow.
Estrogen is a vital female hormone, responsible for ripening eggs inside the ovaries. It controls ovulation and creates a nourishing, fertile environment for any sperm that may be present in the vaginal canal. Estrogen also plays an important part in supporting a full-term, healthy pregnancy. In fact, women produce more estrogen during a single pregnancy than they do during their entire lifetime when not pregnant.
Estrogen also is essential to keeping vaginal tissue supple and elastic. And it gives the tissue its natural ability to produce and secrete its own slippery-smooth lubrication.
So it's not so surprising to learn that:
- Menopause is the single most common cause of vaginal dryness. Officially achieved by an estimated 2 million American women every year (after 12 consecutive months without a period), menopause signals that a woman is simply not producing enough estrogen to generate her own vaginal moisture.
- Breastfeeding is also a very common cause of dryness – again, because nursing a baby slows any woman's estrogen production.
- Hysterectomy and ovarian dysfunction (which simply means abnormal, irregular or a lack of ovulation) also lead to dryness.
- Douchingdisrupts the vagina's normal chemical balance and can cause vaginitis (inflammation). The result is frequently intimate dryness and irritation.
- Extreme exercise sustained over time can lower estrogen, too. That's why so many professional female athletes don't get their periods. And why they suffer with almost chronic dryness.
- Eating disorders like anorexia and bulimia can shut down the reproductive system entirely and lead to dryness.
- Chemotherapy definitely lowers estrogen and leaves women vulnerable to dryness. And it can take many months beyond treatment for the body to recover enough to begin making its own vaginal moisture again.
- Birth control pills can lower estrogen levels enough to leave even women in their 20s and 30s feeling "scratchy" and dry.
- Exhaustion or emotional stress can leave women estrogen deprived, particularly if the problem persists for extended periods of time.
- Allergy and cold medications, as well as some antidepressants can decrease the moisture in many parts of a woman's body, including her vagina.
A vaginal lubricant can help
Crème de la Femme is a safe and soothing vaginal dryness treatment that can help women in all these groups. A luxurious mineral oil-based vaginal cream, it was formulated by a woman doctor and is now recommended today by physicians and pharmacists nationwide.
Creme de la Femme can be used as often as needed to take the place of diminished vaginal moisture. This ultra-sheer vaginal lubricant stays semi-solid at room temperature. Then, the minute it touches warm skin, it melts into silky-smooth moisture that lasts for hours.
Creme de la Femme is made entirely without alcohol, dyes or glycerin, so it safely provides comfort without exposing women to the dangers of other vaginal lubricants. Creme never burns and leaves no messy residue. It offers powerful protection from bladder infection, vaginal irritation and vaginal yeast infection.

Ellis eyeing All Blacks recall
Despite being on the shopping list of some big-name overseas clubs, Crusaders scrum-half Andy Ellis is determined to stay in New Zealand and fight to regain his All Blacks jersey.
Ellis has been out of favour at international level since Steve Hansen took over the reins as All Blacks coach from Graham Henry and will be out of contract after this year's Super Rugby tournament.
But the 28-year-old, who has been offered a new contract by the New Zealand Rugby Union, is determined to stay with the Crusaders and prove to Hansen that he deserves a recall to the All Black set-up.
"I'm still sorting through it (the NZRU contract) but I'm really keen to stay," Ellis told Fairfax Media.
"I love playing here for Canterbury and the Crusaders. At this stage - yes. I want to wear the black jersey again. That is a big goal.
"They (the NZRU) have made an offer and once this Christmas period has settled down I will have a good sit down and get it sussed out
Although a move overseas is not what Ellis desires, he admits that several overseas-based clubs are interested in acquiring his services.
"I have never really put any feelers out there but there has been some interest... and some pretty awesome clubs, too," he added.
"I am only 28. I still want to be playing into my mid-30s and seven or so years is a long time to spend away from home.
"And the other thing is I reckon I will be playing my best rugby for the next three years. I don't want to be doing that overseas, I want to be doing that here in New Zealand."

Associated Press

PIERMONT, N.Y. (AP) — Authorities pulled a female body from the Hudson River on Saturday near where a bride-to-be and her fiance's best man were hurled into the water when a speedboat carrying six friends crashed into a construction barge near the Tappan Zee Bridge.
Officials said they were working to confirm that it was the body of 30-year-old Lindsey Stewart, who has been missing since the Friday night accident.
The search for the missing man, identified by Stewart's family as Mark Lennon, was continuing, said Rockland County undersheriff Robert VanCura.
The crash happened shortly after the 21-foot Stingray left the village of Piermont for a short trip across the river to Tarrytown, about a half-hour's drive north of New York City, authorities said.
Stewart's mother, Carol, said earlier Saturday that she was praying for a miracle.
Four other people, including the groom-to-be, Brian Bond, 35, were hospitalized after being pulled from the damaged boat. Bond was knocked unconscious in the crash but later woke and was able to call 911, Carol Stewart said.
Lindsey Stewart and Brian Bond's wedding was scheduled for Aug. 10.
Lindsey Stewart's stepfather, Walter Kosik, said the couple have known each other since they were young children and used to go to church together.
"They have been friends the whole time, and they fell in love about 3 ½ years ago," Kosik said.
They were to be married at the Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Pearl River, with a reception at a vineyard in Hillburn, he said.
Rockland County Sheriff's Department Chief William Barbera declined to identify the victims. He said the barge, one of several loaded with construction material for an upcoming replacement of the bridge, was equipped with lights, but it was still difficult to see on the water so late at night.
The cause of the accident is under investigation.
The New York State Thruway Authority, which is overseeing the bridge project, said it was reviewing safety procedures.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families during this difficult time," the authority said in a statement. It added that the lighting on the barges appeared to be functioning normally.
Pile driving that had been scheduled to take place Saturday was suspended because of the accident.
