NEW YORK (AP) - Long Island College Hospital has again been spared from closure.
A Brooklyn judge issued a temporary restraining order on Monday. It bars the state Health Department from acting on SUNY Downstate Medical Center's request to close the Brooklyn hospital.
The judge said SUNY Downstate had failed to conduct a meaningful review of the closure plan before its board of trustees voted on it. It can't move with closure plans until it holds a new vote.
The trustees have voted twice now to close down the financially strapped hospital. The hospital is run by SUNY Downstate.
Unions representing hospital workers and physicians had sued the trustees. They called the latest ruling a victory.
A SUNY Downstate spokesman said it had adhered to all rules and regulations regarding the hospital closure procedure.

A boutique-style overdrive pedal that provides classic warm overdrive without compromise or noise.
The ModTone MT-OD Dyno Drive is a split bypass boutique-style overdrive pedal that provides classic warm overdrive without compromise or noise and is housed in a compact sealed corrosion-resistant metal chassis that's built to last.
When placed in front of a clean amp, the ModTone MT-OD gives just a hint of overdrive making all your blues licks and chicken pickin' riffs jump out. Put it in front of your main overdrive tone and you've got a smooth lead tone that sustains for days. A simple 3-knob configuration begins with the "Tone" control that goes from rich, understated overdrive to aggressive sparkle with just a twist of the knob. Next up is the "Drive" control that allows you to add just a touch of grit or go all the way up for some serious saturation without ever being brittle. Lastly, the "Level" option gives you access to the amount of gain you want added to your main signal.
The MT-OD Dyno Drive overdrive pedal, like the whole family of ModTone pedals, features period-correct vintage-style components, smooth linear taper pots, high-impact switches built for the floor and top-quality jacks for optimum tonal transfer.

Comments about Modtone MT-OD Dyno Drive Overdrive Pedal:
I purchased this pedal to boost my 1985 JCM 800 4210 a little over the edge for solos, heavier songs, etc. I set it up so it would boost my signal without adding a lot of unwanted distortion (Tone 0, Level 100%, Gain 75%) and it sounds great.
Just for fun I switched over to my clean channel and tried out the boost and it sounds like an old Marshall Plexi with a low gain setting.
Very happy with this purchase.
Best Uses
Comments about Modtone MT-OD Dyno Drive Overdrive Pedal:
I use this for two purposes boosting and overdrive for a low-watt, single channel amp. Helps deliver a little more versatility and (in effect) something like a second channel. The controls are rather sensitive, and you can get some pretty unpleasant and harsh tones if you're not careful. However, if you take some time, you can develop some useful overdrive and (volume) boost tones.

Great pedal, buy it
Comments about Modtone MT-OD Dyno Drive Overdrive Pedal:
I really like the pedal for overdriving tube amps. I have a Marshall VM and it does a great job on leads. I also have a Fender The Twin and it makes the distortion a lot more modern- Mesa-ish sounding. It definitely helps any amp go from crunch to lead tone. The pedal also works well for a more vintage tone on the clean channel. I prefer it to my Ibanez TS9 for pretty much everything. However, the first one I bought arrived broken. I sent it back for a second and it worked for 4 or 5 months and then broke. I sent it back to the company and they fixed it for free but charged me for return shipping. Great pedal but I wonder if it will keep kicking after the warranty is up.
Comments about Modtone MT-OD Dyno Drive Overdrive Pedal:
I've purchased a few of these modtone pedals...the demos on their website sold me; the fact that they're true-bypass sold me; they're built well - all metal chasis - that sold me. This OD works very well. Not great for "metal" or "hard rock" songs, but great when you need to dirty up your sound.
Comments about Modtone MT-OD Dyno Drive Overdrive Pedal:
I've owned so many Tube Screamer clones I couldn't even give you number. This is the cheapest one I've found that works with single coils and humbuckers. I used as a boost for solo's, it has a nice treble bite to it! Absolutely 100% happy with it!
Comments about Modtone MT-OD Dyno Drive Overdrive Pedal:
This is a clean overdrive pedal. It's made to be the one you go to on the strong ballads or those country love stories. It has a very "telecaster" overdrive sound in that it's a little twangy. Although, it sounds very tubey as well (especially if you have a tube amp). All in all, solid pedal and one you will use a lot especially for your slow song needs.

AUBURN HILLS (WKZO) -- Chrysler has announced it earned a 659-million dollar profit in the fourth quarter of 2013 and a profit of 1.8-billion for the year.
The results were both higher compared to 2012 figures, but profits did suffer somewhat due to higher costs associated with the launch of new products including the Jeep Cherokee. The automaker delayed the launch for a couple of months while ironing out software problems associated with the vehicle's nine-speed automatic transmission.
Overall 2013 revenue was 72-billion dollars for 2013 which was ten-percent higher than 2012.

This is delicious with its creamy blend of flavours. A great hit for all the family.
28 February 2014
Sweet and substantial
The yoghurt is wonderfully thick. It compliments the fruit layer well. Each fruit flavour tastes fresh and natural. The compote is extremely sweet. It is a lovely treat in a tiny pot. In a larger pot it would be better if the yoghurt was slightly tart to balance the sweetness.

sugar bomb
Bought this based on the good reviews and as I thought it would be more healthy than Fromage Frais (all the good bacteria of yogurt for the little tummies and visible fruit). The first time my kids ate a few, but the second time they had them, they left the first pot after two spoon fulls (normally they eat 2-3 each). I wanted to finish them off as I hate to waste food, but after just one spoon I put them in the bin as they were unbearably sweet. Why are products for kids always so full of sugar? It is ruining their tastebuds, their teeth and leads to sugar high followed by cravings for more sweets after a short time. Shame.

great yogurts!!
I love these yogurts for my 2 children (both under 5) I think they are fab, I like the fact that it's Greek yogurt and my 2 children like that they have "jam" in the bottom!! It also helps that they are on offer quite a lot as my two go through yogurts like there is no tomorrow!! Great product

Avoiding radioactive shave cream (and other nasties)
There's no reason not to snub synthetic ingredients.
Kristen Dold, Details
Thanks to the deluge of scary sh*t I've read about processed foods as a health editor, my diet is fairly clean. But each morning, after putting my organic strawberries back into their bpa-free container, I walk into the bathroom, rinse my hair with Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate and slather polyacrylamide C13-14 isoparaffin and cyclopentasiloxane all over my face. By the time I walk out the door, I've likely come into contact with hundreds of synthetic dyes, artificial fragrances, and paraben preservatives. The sick part is that 60% of the gunk we put on our skin is absorbed, and often heads straight to our bloodstream. If any chemicals are going in my bloodstream, it better be by choice.
Problem is, shopping for organic moisturizer isn't as simple as navigating the organic vegetable section at the store. There are, however, a few cool sites that take the guesswork out of avoiding radioactive shave creams. Check out Veritey: All the products sold on the site are labeled non-toxic, sustainable, cruelty-free, or socially responsible. A "seal of approval" system explains the benefits of each one, so whether carcinogens give you the chills, ASPCA commercials leave you sobbing, or the state of the rain forest keeps you up at night, you'll be able to quickly find grooming products and other goods that suit your needs. With choices as luxe as John Masters Bourbon Vanilla & Tangerine Hair Texturizer and Pacific Shaving Company's Shaving Cream, there's no reason not to snub synthetic.

Cool; natural ingredients are absolutely better. But.
Haven't we gone all this through all this before with food? Does anyone really feel "all natural", "organic" , "sustainable" and other adjectives make their food better today? Not me since i dont really believe it.
My point (and not to sound too cynical) is that marketers and food companies are mainpulating EVERYTHING including words and their meanings, so how do i know "safe" and "all natural" have any value in food or cosmetics?

Consolidation, LBOs Ahead For These Grocers
David is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Anyone watching grocery stocks this year could have heard a symbolic crash. Safeway (NYSE: SWY) was down 23.7%, and Supervalu (NYSE: SVU) was down 67.7%. But Kroger (NYSE: KR) actually rose 1%; and, strangely enough, Supervalu also gained more than 40% in the last month. What explains this seeming chaos? The market remains highly speculative from takeover activity, and, in Supervalu's case, private equity is starting to look at the parts--Albertsons, Acme, Cub, and Sav-a-Lot, to name a few--as worth more than the whole. Competitors are in a similar position.
Safeway & Supervalu are both Takeover Targets
While Safeway trades at a respective 8.5x and 7.7x past and forward earnings with a dividend yield of 4.4%, analysts still rate it closer to a "sell" than a "buy." This comes despite analysts underestimating the company's potential in 4 of the last 5 quarters by an average of 4.5%. Yet the company has still seen EPS decline by 5% annually over the past 5 years, so momentum doesn't look bright.
But present operations are still stronger than the market's assessment. The $3.9 billion company generated $939 million in free cash flow yield last year, which means an acquirer could essentially buyout all of the outstanding shares and pay off all of the interest payments quite quickly. Free cash flow in just 3Q 2012 was $505 million. Perhaps recognizing this value, Imperial Capital recently issued an "outperform" report for Safeway with a $23 price target--nearly double the prevailing price.
Fortunately, Safeway has also been aggressive buying back its stock to drive EPS accretion. The comapny earned $0.45 per share in 3Q 2012--an 18% improvement over the same quarter last year. It also gained market share in not only the food channel but across every outlet. And the margin decline was a result of one-time items.
While Safeway has not been fully shopped out yet, there is great clarity in the takeover discussions of Supervalu. Cerberus Capital Management already owns 650 Albertsons, so a buyout of Supervalu in its entirety could help unlock value. The P/E company has reportedly been seeking financing from Bank of America and JPMorgan Chase, and the deadline for a deal is within the next few days. I encourage buying; if the deal falls through, the company will probably receive a bid from KKR, which has strong experience in managing the grocery business. If it comes through, you have captured a nice premium. So, its a win-win situation.
Avoid Kroger
In my view, Kroger is no more than a "hold"--unlike its competitors. Free cash flow generation has fallen from an average of $890 million during the past 5 years to $607 million, which means a yield of less than 5% against the market capitalization. Meanwhile, the company trades at 3.4x book value--well above peer levels. And management's hesitance on giving 2013 guidance is also disconcerting to a potential suitor.
On the positive side, the company has consistently delivered better-than-expected performance in the last 4 quarters. Management has kept costs down while improving productivity, and the loyal household count has grown faster than household growth. This means the company is getting more repeat business, and this is complemented by market share gains. Store innovation has helped drive this trend. For example, the company has reduced the average checkout time from 4 minutes in the past to 30 seconds today. I believe this dramatic transformation will pay off big during the holiday seasons when families are in a rush to get the freshest food items.
All things considered, however, rising competition and inflationary pressures will keep investors on the sidelines. While the industry is likely to see great consolidation, Kroger is not likely to be a part of it. This means it will have to fend off larger peers, and this will challenge the company's ability to boost free cash flow in a way that even justifies the current market cap.

I'm copying a message here from Alexis, who programmed the game. I'll make another more general post about the game soon.Oh snap! Native HTML5 content? Hells yes! HTML5 still sucks by and large as the browser vendors bicker over standards, so I would advise you to use:-Chrome if at all possible. Best functionality support and performance. Official platform.-Firefox if that's not possible. Good functionality, slower than chrome, bad audio performance. Officially supported nonetheless.-Internet Explorer (minimum 9) if you're desperate. It's not officially supported, but other than the fact that ***the flash intro does not work in IE*** it seems to be working fine. (There is also a small bug where if you're using IE, and your computer does not have an audio device, the entire app will fail to load, as sound files will not be downloaded, so plug in some headphones or even just a headphone jack attached to a wire).
-Opera and Safari quite simply have not been tested. I wouldn't be surprised if it worked in them though, I used nothing browser specific.
-Lynx is supported, but only if you have an Oculus Rift.Regardless of what you use, try to minimize the amount of stuff your browser/computer is also doing for optimal performance. Also update to the latest version of your browser and stop holding back HTML5 you asshole!Best of all, it's open source! (tentatively Apache licensed, so basically a free-for-all)We've got a thread developing this project over here: http://mspaforums.com/showthread.php?46219-Jterniabound
It's dead right now, but that's because I went into super ninja development mode for this project. I'll be pushing the latest source to Github when I get home from work today (~5 EST). There's been a TON of changes to the API/codebase since I went into ninja mode, we're working to the update the wiki as quick as possible. I'm also considering developing tutorials for developing a Sburb project. But the whole thing has been designed from the ground up so that, in theory, you don't have to touch a drop of code. The entire game is described by a bunch of modular XML files (SburbML). Of course Andrew always has some crackpot feature that exceeds the scope of the project, but usually that just means I make the API bigger and more robust. Hooray!Baked in features include:Describing complex events and environments purely in XMLHTML5 audio (with fall back files for supporting mp3 and ogg)Canvas and sprite-sheet based renderingFlash cutscenes (which are skipped if flash is not supported)Ability to define custom fonts (allowing the specification of local fonts, with the ability to fall back to your own personally supplied fonts)
The ability to serialize almost any game state into a SburbML file, and load it back up again, for easy sharing
So much dialogue producing syntax you don't even know. Only Andrew truly grasps the magnitude of syntax, and it is something I am sure he will always regret ever requesting.Loading content on demand to minimize up front server impact and wait times
Note that between the XML files, dialogue syntax, and custom font support, any translators out there should have a breeze getting any translation done (except for the ultimate magnitude of the text found within)! No more decompiling SWFs for you!
This version will be snapshotted, but we're gonna keep developing it. The dialogue parser/renderer (as well as the ACTUAL renderer, honestly) could likely be massively optimized, and there's some features I want to add to the API. If you know anything about HTML5 and design, I'd love to get feedback (I'm avoiding including external libraries for the time being).
Wait, the update was HTML 5? I'd honestly not really noticed :O NEAT!

Following several years of inconsistent scheduling and sporadic results, Josh Thomson finally made his return to the Octagon by squaring off with Nate Diaz at UFC on Fox 7 in April 2013.
Thomson spent much of the past eight or nine years fighting for Strikeforce, but found it difficult to fight consistently due to scheduling and injuries. He managed an eight-fight winning streak at one point, but went 3-3 in his six most recent fights prior to his UFC return, leading many to believe his best days were behind him.
Such assessments were likely shadowed by the dimmer lights he had been fighting under.
Many wrote Thomson off before he ever set foot back in the Octagon, but the one-time UFC title contender wasted no time putting a stamp on his return, embracing the return of the white-hot spotlight. He did something no other fighter has ever done: he knocked Nate Diaz out.
Once he did that, other fighters came out of the woodwork wanting to fight him.
Donald Cerrone, who was instead booked to fight Rafael dos Anjos, was one such fighter; Diego Sanchez was another.
Thomson will fight anyone they put in front of him… with one caveat. Whoever they put in front of him has to lead Thomson to his end game: UFC lightweight champion Benson Henderson.
"Do you think the lion turned around every time a little dog barked? No," Thomson responded when asked about all the fighters calling him out.
"I'm focused on one guy. I'm focused on Benson, that's it. I don't really care about anybody else.
"I told the UFC before I came over (from Strikeforce), whoever you guys want me to fight so I can line up to fight Benson, that's who I want to fight."
There's nothing personal between Thomson and Henderson. Like most other fighters, Thomson just wants to fight for the title and believes a match-up with Henderson would be spectacular.
"I think you could potentially see something like the Gil (Melendez) and Thomson thing again," Thomson said about fighting Henderson, referring to the trilogy of bouts he had with his fellow former Strikeforce champion. "Stylistically, I think we match up well.

"I like the way he fights, but I think I can beat him."
That's not to say that Thomson is at all sure about how he'd go about beating Henderson, as he thinks they are both complete mixed martial artists with few holes in their respective games.
"There's nothing I can take away from him," said Thomson. "He's that step that I am. We're well rounded at everything, we're not great at anything, we're just good at all of them, and it makes for great fights."
Benson Henderson is currently slated to face TJ Grant in the UFC 164 main event on Aug. 31 in Milwaukee. Thomson, meanwhile, awaits his next assignment.

T. J. Grant has been on a great streak but unfortunately Thompson is going to go through him in short order. I expect when he fights Benson, Benson will get another squeaky split decison win. Is Benson the new king of decisions in the UFC (taking the crown from GSP)? Guess we will see.
Grand and Henderson are fighting already, August 31st.
Only GSP's decisions are dominant and without question. Benson's have been razor close of late.
haha thomson would run thru grant in short order huh? i doubt he would even get thru maynard let alone grant bud.
Thompson lost to Melendez last year. Why not make a rematch there? If he's all that, than he should be able to beat Gilbert now. My conclusion, Nate Diaz was over rated in the first place. I can't believe Bendo couldn't finish him.
Thompson/Melendez 4, not interested.
listen to this tard !!! Nate Diaz was over-rated, guy was never finished ever even at 170 lbs has most finishes at LW… idiots like you shouldn't be allowed to live in the free world !!!
I agree with the first part. Nate is not over rated he probably has the best bottom game in the division.
Yeah um no that devision has shinya aoki in it…
I'm talking UFC not guys that are afraid of it.
Not to mention his stupid pants that give him a big advantage.
Still one of my favorite Thomson fights
I'm surprised by the comments. Thompson didn't just beat Nate Diaz; he knocked him out to the point where his corner threw in the towel…that's a corner with Nick Diaz. You think Nick Diaz would throw a towel in for anything less than a complete beating?
I think Thompson should be fighting Grant and the winner should get Henderson. Thompson has only lost a handful of times (5 I think), and two of those were to Melendez, one being by split decision. He was also, like his name states, a punk when he was younger.
Face it: Thompson is a good, young, well rounded fighter with a heck a lot of experience and five round experience with world class talent. Give him some love, people!
yes i do actually, that was his brother getting head kicked. im sure nate wasnt as hurt as it seemed by the way diaz threw the towel in but i would think your brother is a lot more likely to do it than anybody else. thing is though he just beat a guy that was dominated by henderson and hes calling people little dogs? cmon now son i can think of more than a few lightweights that i would pick over him in a fight.
Let's not get into the MMA math. If we did, I could legitimately say that Henderson just had a heck of a lot of trouble with Melendez (some people think he lost), and Thompson has beat Melendez, and fought with him for 75 minutes. Whether or not you think Henderson won his last fight, certainly Thompson did a lot better than Henderson did in his last fight against Melendez.
Grant has done more then enough to get his title fight…why does everyone want to sc*w him over? How about Thompson simply fight another top 10 guy like Cerrone, Maynard or even that loud mouth Pettis and then talk about a title fight?
Yeah, another top ten fighter like Grant. It's funny, Grant has only faced one top ten fighter in his win streak. Thompson beat Diaz, Healy, and nearly beat Melendez. That is such a talented mix of standup, wrestling and ground game that he has done well against.
Is it really that offensive to you that I equate Grant and Thompson and think that a title eliminator isn't a bad idea?
And why would Thompson fight Maynard? That makes no sense. Cerrone would be a good fight.
This article shows how little people know about mma. It's impossible to know just how good a fighter is until they fight the top guys.
I've always thought Thomson was one of the best. You could tell watching the guy.
With no other clear contenders, Thomson's next fight should be for No. 1 contender.
He should fight the top contender than a title shot would be fine.
I think grant is going to knock Henderson out within 2 rounds

The Holy Grail of Acne?
Posted 28 January 2005 - 03:35 AM
Okay so there is a substance that completely blocks DHT, not just a little bit but fully. This is called Equol and scientists are calling it the holy grail of prostate cancer and hair loss. Now Equol as a substance itself isn't sold except for one place, and it's topical for hair loss. Now Equol is made from the isoflvaone daidzein, which is commonly found in soy. Now soy has it's problems such as leaching the body of calcium, zinc, copper, etc... and other problems I won't get into(Ironically though it's linked to increased bone density). So to avoid the pitfalls of soy but the benefits of it you can get soy Isoflavones in capsule form for the cost of any other vitamin(Read: It's not expensive). Soy has two main isoflavones, daidzein and genestein. Daidzein blocks DHT and the other inhibits 5-AR and 17-AR, a double punch.
For those of you who are still not sure about soy, an equally effective(maybe more so) source of equol is Red Clover. It's absorbed just as well as soy, except it can act quicker in some cases because in the tea format, it is directly absorbed into the bloodstream, whereas in pill form, and any soy form, it's processed in the intestines. Now in addition to daidzein and genestein, Red Clover also has two other isoflavones that help, although I'm not sure what they do exactly. Red clover is dirt cheap as well, think 4.00 for 100caps or even cheaper if you get it in bulk as a herb for tea.
Now the great thing about equol is that it doesn't affect testosterone in any way shape or form. It merely prevents it from converting to the harmful DHT. Therefore if you like to bodybuild, nothings stopping your gains.
The only thing is that I don't know how much is needed in mg(that and I don't have acne anymore so I can't test it for acne, although I am going to take it for other great health reasons, mainly prostate cancer is the 2nd biggest reason of male cancer death and I know too many people my dads age with it). I know that megadosing isn't needed becasue equol is so effective at completely blocking DHT. So until equol is produced commercially(It's in the process), maybe someone could try Soy Isoflavones, or preferably Red Clover and report on their findings? Plus Red clover is a blood purifier and is a better antioxidant than E or C.
For those of you that believe androgens and more specifically DHT is the cause this could be your easy way to prevent acne.
Good luck.
Posted 28 January 2005 - 04:30 AM
I would like to give this a go.
One more thing if you decide to have red clover via tea bags, how many would u have to drink daily?
Thanks alot,
Posted 28 January 2005 - 05:55 AM
I doubt that.
This is called Equol and scientists are calling it the holy grail of prostate cancer and hair loss.
What scientist(s) called it that?? Equol should have similar effects as the well-known 5a-reductase inhibitors finasteride and dutasteride, and I don't think anyone is calling either of them the "holy grail" of hair loss, and certainly not the "holy grail" of prostate cancer.
Now the great thing about equol is that it doesn't affect testosterone in any way shape or form. It merely prevents it from converting to the harmful DHT.
Actually, it will probably INCREASE testosterone a little, just like finasteride and dutasteride.
For those of you that believe androgens and more specifically DHT is the cause this could be your easy way to prevent acne.
You're forgetting the very recent study that I've cited several times, which found no benefit for acne from MK386, a potent 5a-reductase type 1 inhibitor. I wouldn't get too carried away with the prospect of using Equol for acne! If MK386 didn't even help any, it's highly unlikely that Equol is any kind of "holy grail".
Posted 28 January 2005 - 02:09 PM
Actually, it doesn't affect testosterone. It doesn't prevent DHT from forming either, that part I was wrong about. It renders it inactive.
Below are links. The first one tells all about it the best, without too much technical talk.
This one also says that it completely stops DHT
This link is great too.
I have dozens of more links if you are still skeptical.
Here's a defenition. It says some people can produce it naturally and some can't. From what I've read only 30% have the necessary bacteria to produce it so maybe most will have to wait until a equol itself is given to the public.
Another link summing up a journal article.
Posted 28 January 2005 - 02:42 PM
Posted 28 January 2005 - 03:59 PM
And once again, judging by the lack of effect on acne from 5a-reductase inhibition, don't expect much from Equol.
Posted 28 January 2005 - 04:34 PM
Posted 28 January 2005 - 07:15 PM
What Bryan is possibly trying to say is that "DHT has no direct affect on acne production". The reason he feels this way, and I'm starting to think the same, is because, DHT inhibitors while they have been in use for what, at least 10 years now (never bothered to check) they have never been prescribed to treat acne. Granted we do still use DHT inhibitors or rather 5AR inhibitors such as Accutane, Retina, etc, but they also serve the function of being anti-androgens as well. Furthermore, due to recent scientific studies and some males' testimonies, using 5AR inhibitors either don't affect their acne or give them acne (even when they never had any). Of course there are other males that have found success using 5-AR inhibitors, but again, these tend to also be anti-androgens such as Zinc + B6 or Saw Palmetto.
I personally am thrilled to hear about equol as I still need it for the hirsutism and possible androgenic alopecia, but no, I do not need a 5AR inhibitor to control my acne. What studies have found is that DHT production is increased in the presence of increased Androgens. I don't have a clue what the exact order is, but due to the presence of androgens a variety of reactions occur either due its presence or the androgens binding to the androgen receptor and therefore DHT may just be another one of those reactions. In fact DHT & 3alpha diol G may indeed be indicators of the amount of androgens, particularly Free Androgens/Testosterone that we produce. Therefore, we can probably gauge wether we are hyperandrogenic or sensitive based on the amounts of DHT (3 alpha diol-G is a better indicator) or PSA (women have this too) found in our blood stream.
Now getting back to what I said about not needing a 5AR inhibitor to control my acne, well it appears that I don't. Myself and others are following diets that while, do help lower or balance our hormones, don't stop our bodies from functioning as it "normally" would. We still produce steriod hormones, only we produce less of certain ones. So while we are probably producing a bit less DHT, as we are producing less steriod hormones, we have be no means stopped it's production. Therefore, as long as we produce enough Free Androgens, some/all (?) of this will be converted into DHT.
My diet has got me 99%+ clear, but I personally still produce enough DHT to continue feeding and spreading my hirsutism, unless I use something to prevent this. Interestingly enough, what I use is Spironolactone (anti-androgen). There's also talk of NAC, Folic Acid, Green Tea, and Zinc + B6, working for women to reduce their hirsutism as well, but again, remember these all serve the function of being anti-androgenic. (some are also 5 AR inhibitors) Therefore, while a 5AR or a DHT inibitors (Eqoul is the only one) would be great to use for males, since antiandrogens seem to wipe your libidos, for females if we can reduce enough of our Free Testosterone, then we can reduce the amount of DHT and subsequent effects of it.
So again, I'm soo thrilled that you posted this information as I've been waiting for more news on Equol. I really don't want to take medications, I would much rather take this as a supplement. Considering that 5AR inhibitors haven't produced favorable or predicatable results, it appears that we are once again left with anti-androgens or anti-inflammatories to treat acne....both of which happen to reside in some of our most popular acne treatments and diets. Currently, my latest quesition is, which of these two is MORE important androgens which call forth inflammatory products or just the inflammatory products. Would we have acne, if we didn't have the inflammation???
Posted 29 January 2005 - 03:56 AM
What do you mean, what do I mean?? Let's try if for a THIRD time: if lowering DHT by inhibiting 5a-reductase has no effect on acne, what makes you think that blocking DHT with Equol is going to do any good? How many other ways do I have to say it?
Posted 29 January 2005 - 05:42 PM
Pay attention to the following line; this is the point that you are missing."The two prerequisites for androgen expression at the level of the pilosebaceous unit are the presence of androgen in the form of either testosterone or dihydrotestosterone; and functioning androgen receptors". Yes, DHT is the extreme expression of testosterone, but, eliminating DHT still leaves you with testosterone which alone potentiates acne, because, in a word, you still have androgen expression on sensitive androgen receptors.

Jade: Nice tree falling in the woods question of acne. Yes, I think we would have acne if we didn't have inflamation, they just wouldn't be red and raised. That is if you still think blocked pores by sebum and skin cells and bacteria thriving in it is acne. If we did get to the point where we didn't get inflammation from acne, I would be worried what other injuries we would have ignored from the lack of the body's natural defences.
I'm acne free but I don't understand why I grew out of it. Here's my thinking. You will always produce oil, and now that I've grown out of it, I still do. I also will still have the infalmmation response and the bacteria there to thrive if I ever get a spot again. This leads me to guess it's the keratinization that all of a sudden went right. But how? How can all of a sudden my cells become too sticky and plug the pores when I had acne, yet now, with nothing really changed, all of a sudden they dissolve in the sebum and are released on the surface of my skin like they are supposed to? How did they all of a sudden normalize? I know things like glycolic and such actually help to normalize it but that is with continued use and I'm at a complete loss as to why my body decided now that things would work right.
Any ideas?(I know that azelic acid, pine bark extract and sulphur all normalize this, along with retaniods in case anyone wants to use it).
Posted 30 January 2005 - 05:40 PM
Posted 30 January 2005 - 07:21 PM
What do you mean by that? If the DHT is blocked from binding to androgen receptors, then it's obviously not "there for your body".
Posted 30 January 2005 - 07:26 PM
Dutasteride (at the standard dose of 0.5 mg/day) inhibits about 98%-99% of the type 2 enzyme, but perhaps only a little more than half of the type 1 enzyme found in sebaceous glands. Since MK386 had no effect on acne in that clinical trial, it seems unlikely that dutasteride (or Equol) would, either...
Posted 30 January 2005 - 07:36 PM
Avodart eliminates 99% of both Type I and Type II enzymes needed for DHT. Acne is thought to be caused by Type I 5 AR enzymes, but as Bryan pointed out a Type I Inhibitor didn't stop oil production. Avodart doesn't stop acne either. In fact it gave some males that never had acne acne, but did clear some others. There's a member of this board, Evigrex that took Avodart or Finasteride (Type II 5AR inhibitor) and it caused him to breakout and he had been clear previously due to accutane (correct me if I'm wrong). Futhermore someone on absolute acne boards was taking Finasteride for hair loss, but had to stop as it increased his testosterone (as expected since it's not converting into DHT or estrogen) and gave him acne that he's never had before.
Therefore, DHT is possibly not the problem here. Basically we have something kinda the opposite of the "sugar causes acne theory" here. All these years we thought that it was DHT that was the problem and hoped for a pill to solve this problem. Yet it appears that more and more evidence is pointing toward DHT not affecting acne production, where as more and more evidence is pointing toward sugar, insulin rather, affecting androgen and thus acne production. Knowing how important it is to Bryan that we use correct terminology, I'm certain that if there were flaws in these studies, he would be the first to point them out, right?
With that in mind, it's easier to understand why these males are breaking out from taking 5AR inhibitors as it increases your testosterone production (may increase your estrogen slightly). Thus, regarding acne, what decreases one's testosterone production or activity in the body will be direct or indirect anti-androgens, and apparently not 5AR or DHT Inhibitors (unless your goal is to cease alopecia, prostate problems, or hirsutism).
Anyway, below is the abstract being referred to, Bryan can you give us the full text?
A systemic type I 5 alpha-reductase inhibitor is ineffective in the treatment of acne vulgaris.
Excessive sebum production is a central aspect of the pathophysiology of acne vulgaris. Sebaceous gland function is under androgen control and it is hypothesized that dihydrotestosterone is formed by the action of 5 alpha-reductase. Type I is the controlling isoenzyme. This study describes a 3-month, multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial with a potent, selective inhibitor of type I 5 alpha-reductase used alone and in combination with systemic minocycline. Inhibition of type I 5 alpha-reductase was not associated with clinical improvement of acne when used alone and did not enhance the clinical benefit of systemic minocycline. These results indicate the need for further work at the molecular level to better understand the action of androgens on sebaceous gland function. http://www.ncbi.nlm....t_uids=14988688
Posted 30 January 2005 - 08:24 PM
What everyone is saying is all well and good, but wouldn't you still get acne even if you slowed the sebum production? Granted probably not as much but if keratization is abnormal and since you will always produce some sebum, it would still clog the pores. How is it that all of a sudden, keratization goes right? My face is no less oily than before(It wasn't that oily before either), yet here I am with no acne. If I had normalized keratization I would never have had acne. I probably would have had oily skin as a teenager, but with no acne since the skin cells would have still dissolved correctly. Can someone answer me this?
Posted 30 January 2005 - 09:17 PM
Androgens are thought to exert their influence by way of the androgen receptor, so I'm not sure how you think that DHT that's been blocked by Equol would have an effect on stress resistance and "neurological strength". Having said that, I'll admit that there's _some_ evidence that androgens can have an effect on muscle growth that seems to be independent of androgen receptors (anabolic steroid experts know about that), but the exact mechanism involved is still speculative. And I don't know if that even extends to DHT specifically, rather than just the powerful synthetic steroids that bodybuilders use! Therefore, it seems awfully risky to me to assume that Equol-bound DHT is going to be able to maintain its other putative functions, but not exhibit the well-known ones regarding prostate function, skin androgenization effects, etc.
BTW, finasteride (Propecia, Proscar) doesn't bind DHT or androgen receptors. It specifically and irreversibly binds the 5a-reductase type 2 enzyme only.
What everyone is saying is all well and good, but wouldn't you still get acne even if you slowed the sebum production?
I think the proper way to look at it is that sebum production (whether it's low, medium, or high) is a RISK FACTOR for acne. One of several risk factors.
Posted 30 January 2005 - 09:39 PM
Yeah, I went down that road last year before discovering B5. I took everything that was not be perscription to decrease my male hormones... red clover, Tagamet, saw palmetto, switched from milk to soy, took a herb complex for women that was supposed to boost their estrogen levels and reduce their testosterone levels during menapause (i'm a dude). None of it worked in the slightest.
Posted 30 January 2005 - 10:04 PM
Because I _am_ kind of a stickler for details, I can't let this go by without comment: as I indicated in that previous post above, dutasteride in the standard approved dose of 0.5 mg/day does in fact inhibit the type II enzyme to the tune of 98%-99%, but it inhibits the type I enzyme by only a little over half (dut is considerably more potent against type II than type I, and the type I enzyme is produced in the cell more rapidly than type II). If anyone's interested in seeing the justification for those statements, the relevant data was published in a recent study which exhaustively examined the pharmacological properties of dutasteride. I even scanned several of the graphs from that study and posted them...I'll post the links here, if anyone's interested in seeing them.
Acne is thought to be caused by Type I 5 AR enzymes, but as Bryan pointed out a Type I Inhibitor didn't stop oil production.
Well, here's a very CRUCIAL correction: the study didn't measure sebum production at all! All it did was measure the final effect on acne, and acne wasn't affected one way or the other! I expect that in the near future, they WILL measure sebum production with 5a-reductase inhibition, because they were clearly surprised at the results, just like the rest of us. I'm sure they want to get to the bottom of just exactly what IS the role of DHT in acne!
Avodart doesn't stop acne either. In fact it gave some males that never had acne acne, but did clear some others. There's a member of this board, Evigrex that took Avodart or Finasteride (Type II 5AR inhibitor) and it caused him to breakout and he had been clear previously due to accutane (correct me if I'm wrong). Futhermore someone on absolute acne boards was taking Finasteride for hair loss, but had to stop as it increased his testosterone (as expected since it's not converting into DHT or estrogen) and gave him acne that he's never had before.
I guess it's not all THAT surprising that finasteride could worsen acne a little in some people, because finasteride is just a specific type 2 inhibitor, whereas the 5a-reductase inside sebaceous glands appears to be exclusively type 1. Therefore, I suppose you could argue that the small increase in testosterone that you get from using finasteride (~10% or so) could conceivably function as additional substrate for the type 1 enzyme in sebocytes that obviously isn't inhibited by the finasteride. However, the failure of MK386 (or dutasteride?) to favorably affect acne is still quite puzzling, and there's no obvious explanation...
Anyway, below is the abstract being referred to, Bryan can you give us the full text?
I have a paper-copy of the study right here, but I don't have it in electronic form, unfortunately. But if there's enough general interest in it, I can certainly scan it and post it on my Web site, which I've done with a number of other studies. This one is only about three pages long.
Posted 30 January 2005 - 10:20 PM
Anyway, having read others opinions of DHT and angrogens in general I'm leaning more and more towards the normalization of keratization. Perhaps if there was a way to bring keratin levels down to normal? Like I said above, you will always produce oil in some amounts, so if your skin isn't exfoliating properly, you should theoretically still get acne from a blockage of the pore. Since you cant eliminate the acne bacteria(Although maybe theres a way to become less sensitive to it, or have a less agressive immune response to it), maybe studying keratin is the only way.

It's gorgeous!
I sure do wish there was a touch of the green in the office area to tie the whole space together.
Not a big fan of the shade of green and the last picture was a weird choice (where is that pallet thing in the bigger room?) but this person definitely has an eye for using the space, and it looks nice and modern. Just not personally a fan of the green.
Wow!!! I love the color. I love that it is not tied together anywhere else. love it love it love it!
thanks for all your great comments!!!

Fortunately, that gives Janis entree to talk to Bryce. She wants to start trying for a baby, and she needs a rec for sperm donation. "The whole penis thing is kind of a problem for me because I don't like them ... I'm super-gay," she explains. Bryce recs a fertility clinic and sperm bank, and that's that.
Outside the hospital, Lloyd's wheeling Dylan out to the ambulance, where two men named John and Reed introduce themselves as the evening's transporters, and they just can't wait to load Dylan up and get going. Olivia's accompanied the Simcoe men outside so she can make sure everything goes okay. "I'm not sure if you've had your training, but Dylan's autistic," Olivia explains to John and Reed. One of them mutters, "Oh, we've had training ..." Lloyd and Olivia say their goodbyes, and Olivia asks Lloyd if he believes in the "many worlds" theory he was explaining to her. "Many physicists do," he deflects, and Olivia is nearly flirting with him as she chides, "You didn't answer the question." Lloyd replies, "Out of respect, I'm not going to." He smooths back a wisp of Olivia's hair and says, "Thank you for everything, and goodbye." And then ... the brusque loading of Dylan onto a stretcher -- which totally triggers a Dylan meltdown -- would seem to suggest that whatever training John and Reed have had, it is not in patient transportation. And once the guns are out and the guys are shooting down the hospital security guard, it's apparent that John and Reed's training is in "kidnapping," as they roll Dylan away, seize Lloyd (who is heroically shielding Olivia), throw him in the back on the ambulance, and roll off. And that's our episode! Well done to the writers for setting up the way Dylan will come to live with Olivia and Charlie, and won't it be exciting to see what happens in three months? See you in 2010!

I was reasonably happy with my iPhone 5, but I never really enjoyed the cold aluminum and hard edges. Then along came the 5c. Yes, its internals are very close to the iPhone 5 (though it does seem a bit faster with better battery). However, the polycarbonate plastic feels awesome in the hand. Its very well constructed and feels almost like ceramic. There is no creaks or bends to it. Also, I got mine in green and love the color. Great job Apple!

Pros: I owned 1999 Jaguar XJR and now I own 2002 Jaguar XJR 100. I have been searching for the Jaguar XJR 100 for a long time because there are only 500 of XJR 100 in the world and out of 500, 240 were shipped to the United States. I was fortunate to spot one in VA with 58K miles. Unlike the regular XJR, the XJR 100 is equipped with 19 inch special BBS wheels, Brembo Brakes, and special interior package. The engine is very powerful 370 HP and very responsive! Because of the 19" wheels, the XJR 100 handling is much better than my 1999 Jaguar XJR. This car is perfect for a family man during his midlife crisis. It has 4 doors, so my wife and daughter can enjoy the power of supercharged V8 engine.
Cons: You already know why people are scared to buy Jaguar. The maintenance is very expensive if you go to Jaguar Dealerships. I found an online store Xautogears that sell genuine Jaguar at discounted price. I bought the parts at Xautogears and bring it to a mechanic who understand European car and man the cost of replacing the parts become much more bearable now! I also learn how to install simple parts on my Jaguar which is a lot of fun to do. Anyway, this car is very expensive to maintain. The cost of owning it is like having another baby. Since we have 1 child and my wife doesn't want another kid. This car is perfect!
Overall review: I am a very happy with my Jaguar XJR 100. If you are planning to buy one. I really recommend you to buy the Jaguar XJR if you can afford to buy one and to maintain one. Unlike a Corvette, the XJR seats are very comfortable. It is a special weekend treatment for our family. The car is simply beautiful and gorgeous, it has been featured in so many Hollywood movies so where ever we drive somewhere, people will turn their head and look. Well it is $80,000 car and it is awesome! Buy XJR 100 if you can find one and afford one. You'll love it!

A local business wants to give back to help fight the second leading cause of cancer death in women: breast cancer.
Angie's Artisan Treats, the company that makes Angie's Kettle Corn, is donating the proceeds from its "Angie's Pink Ribbon Bag" to the MAYO Clinic BEAUTY Project.
The $25,000 donation from Angie's will help Mayo researchers find ways for doctors to tailor chemotherapy to individual patients based on their genomes.
And the project could completely change how breast cancer is treated.
"The purpose of this was to look at aggressively growing cancers. And so they may have a differentiation of treatment that will change people's lives," Angie's Kettle Corn President Angie Bastian said.
As MCHS Regional President and CEO Dr. Greg Kutcher explains, "Instead of thinking of a generic one size fits all, one pair of pants for everybody, this is really having your treatment that is customized for you."
Bastian says she chose the BEAUTY project because she wanted her company's donation to benefit breast cancer research as directly as possible.

It's finally up!
Had to change the pitch a bit and sacrifice some of the sync, but it's up! (Go here to hear it normally; it's unlisted because NAS)
This is a 5D's MAD opening based on Code Geass R1's third (and kickass) opening, "The Wings in the Eyes" ("Hitomi no Tsubasa"), which was used for the last two episodes. Likewise, I made this one to go with the Godwin VS Yusei/Jack/Crow finale to the Dark Signers arc. A
lso the opening to an awesome show with JACK ATLAS as the main character. I picked characters that had similar relationships with Jack as the ones in the CG opening did with Lelouch (so, Crimson Dragon=CC since it gave Jack his birthmark, Aki=Kallen obviously, etc). I also made the translated lyrics singable, so feel free to sing along. :P
It's been slowly in the works since early March, so it feels good to finally get it done. Hope you like it! Special thanks to YYugi for helping me with some of those stills. =)

Proteomics Slated for Science Writers' Seminar
An update on clinical proteomics will be presented at the NCI Science Writers' Seminar on January 28, 2004.
These sessions are designed for science and medical reporters with the intent of increasing the quality and quantity of media coverage on cancer research. The speakers will be Dr. Lance Liotta and Dr. Emanuel Petricoin, codirectors of the NCI/Food and Drug Administration Clinical Proteomics Program, and their collaborator Dr. Elise Kohn, from the NCI Laboratory of Pathology.
The scientists will explain their successes in distinguishing ovarian, breast, and prostate cancers from benign conditions and how their techniques can be used to clinically identify early-stage cancers. They will highlight progress since their 2002 landmark paper in The Lancet, which first described proteomics for possible use in detecting ovarian cancer. The seminar will be held from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on the NIH campus in Bethesda at the Natcher Conference Center, Room F1. Pre-registration is required for on-site attendance, but anyone can watch the live webcast at http://videocast.nih.gov/.
President's Cancer Panel Focuses on Survivorship
The panel has heard of the difficulties all survivors endure: transferring NCI treatment records to their community providers, accessing relevant post-treatment information, obtaining appropriate follow-up screening and care, acquiring necessary support services, overcoming financial and insurance-related barriers, and addressing cultural and language barriers to care.
Specific issues affect survivors ages 60 and older. Survivors in this age group told the panel of the hardships of living on a fixed income. They also expressed their fears of losing their employment and associated insurance benefits. They called for improved communication with the public - employers, caregivers, and insurers - about the experiences and needs of cancer survivors.
Older adult survivors have more co-morbidity issues, which may obscure symptoms of recurrence. They metabolize pharmacologic agents differently than younger people. And they are more concerned about transmitting genetically linked cancers to their children.
The panel's final report on cancer survivorship is expected to be released this summer.
Sporn Named First NCI Eminent Scholar
Also at the retreat, Dr. Janet D. Rowley, University of Chicago, an expert on human chromosome analysis, accepted the Rosalind E. Franklin Award for Women in Cancer Research. Dr. Rowley, an Albert Lasker Award recipient, is internationally known for her discovery that the translocation of genetic material seen in the Philadelphia chromosome is the cause, not the result, of chronic myelogenous leukemia. The NCI prize honors the commitment of women in cancer research and is given in tribute to Dr. Franklin, who played a critical role in the discovery of the DNA double helix.

- Excellent Taste CombinationsDDDMDined on 9/17/2014If you can reserve a table outside and the weather is nice - do it! The food is creative and delicious! After ordering 12 entrees, I asked my 2 guests for their top 2 entrees and we ordered them again! Pricey but worth it! Try new things and you won't regret it!Special Features:
- The best of the best !!OpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 9/17/2014Each plate we order was beyond delicious! From the presentation of each dish to each little detail at the table One of the best sushi restaurants here in Las Vegas!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DelishkleeVIPDined on 9/16/2014Delicious as usual! Dine here at least once each trip.Special Features:
- Best Food in VegasfoodloverDined on 9/15/2014Our Fantastic Server chose every dish for us, from his favs to the restaurant's most popular. Every single dish was a wow!!! A group of five of us, with different palates and everyone overwhelmed.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Relaxed setting amidst the bustleTheDealeDined on 9/12/2014We had wonderful Kobe beef. The service was great. If the temperature is conducive, wait for one of the few outdoor patio tables. We did and witnessed repeated fountain performances.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A magical evening.brendizzleDined on 9/10/2014I planned a 3 day getaway for my daughter's 28th birthday and wanted her bday dinner to be special in every way. When they seated us on the terrace as the fountains were putting on a show, we knew that nothing could top that ever again. Our server was extremely charming but reserved, very helpful as he let us enjoy each course at our leisure. Food was superb. The only downside was that we will never be able to duplicate that night again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- THE BEST SERVICE!OpenTable Diner Since 2014VIPDined on 9/9/2014We had the amazing waiter, Tay-oh, who is ALWAYS on! You will not receive better service by anyone, anywhere.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 9/6/2014We ate here for the first time. The food was awesome. We were in LV for 3 days and tried all upscale places to eat. Sushi here was just out of the world! We would go back there in a heart beat.Special Features:
- A new favorite sushi spotMyVegasNameIsLucyDined on 9/1/2014This was my first visit to Yellowtail and I was so impressed. When we're feeling like sushi, we usually go to Koi but I'm so glad we tried Yellowtail. The spicy tuna, toro, red dragon, shrimp tempura rolls were all delicious and we could taste how fresh the fish was. Very impressive! The rolls are pricey but worth it for a nice dinner out. I'm also new to sake, so I samples two and wasn't a fan so I opted to stick with water. Our waiter was determined (in a good way) to help me find a drink, so he brought another sample. This time it was a sparkling blueberry sake and delicious! I don't even like blue drinks but this was so unique and pleasant, I had to have a glass.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent food - Service not equalOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/31/2014We enjoyed a fabulous fountain side table, great cocktails (get the Essence), extraordinary food, all to be spoiled by a snooty young server who was clearly disappointed by our cheap $160 tab.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Bad Waitress/ Sub par foodMihirNDined on 8/30/2014We had a waitress who rushed us immediately when we arrived, she then failed to describe the dishes. Later we overheard a neighboring table have a full detailed explanation of the menu items. Moreover, she did not once check up on us asking how our meals were, offer us a drink, etc.Special Features:
- Terrible waitmo15Dined on 8/28/2014After our appetizers it took more than 30 minutes to get 2 sushi rolls. After that, we ordered dessert and it took so long I just cancelled the order and asked for the tab.
- Another fabulous dinnerLa924Dined on 8/27/2014We always request dining on the patio overlooking the Bellagio fountains. The food is wonderful and especially the popping spicy crab rolls are to die for. Everything we ordered was fabulous, tasty, and expertly prepared. The food ordered, however, always comes out very quickly. If you don't want to be rushed, I would suggest telling your server to slow it down a bit so that you can enjoy it more. They graciously accommodated us in this regard and we thoroughly enjoyed our dinner at Yellowtail.Special Features:
- OverpricedAndy76Dined on 8/23/2014The menu is pourely structured and pretentious; there is not any sushi/sashimi combination which is what you want to do when you are a group of friends. Japanese food is meant to be shared: you need room for it on your tableSpecial Features:
- Fabulous Evening2ForFunDined on 8/22/2014We requested a patio table overlooking the Bellagio Fountain. The table was perfect, the service exceptional and the food excellent. An overall wonderful evening.Special Features:
- Awesome restaurantrodrigolaureanoDined on 8/21/2014I never had a great meal in Vegas, always fancy , and expensive , but this one was great, the restaurante, Yellowtail are not cheap, but worth every dollar for my dinner , in special , because of the friendly waiter, we change tables , for an outside table , and we do had the chance to see the water show from the bellagio balcony , only a few steps way, and the view from our table was magnificent. It was a magical night !!! Everything it as perfect !!!Special Features:
- Yellowtail ExceptionalOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/21/2014Great food, great service, incredible view. I will return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- MJC808VIPDined on 8/19/2014Can't wait to visit Las Vegas to come back here again! the big-eye tuna pizza lived up to the hype and the salmon skin roll was fabulous, as delicious as it was beautiful. the seaweed salad was prepared in a flash and combined my favorite "ocean salad" with wakame seaweed. The hamachi with jalapeno was so beautiful, a dish found in many Japanese restaurants, but I loved the crispy kalbi sushi roll topped with slaw and the special live scallop sashimi recommended by our server was a nice end to the sushi we enjoyed. (fresh, top grade uni here). Nice desserts and the view of the Bellagio fountains. I love this place!Special Features:
- Where is my tuna pizza?NoirDined on 8/17/2014I was ecstatic to dine here however when we got there, we were sorely disappointed. The place was hopping aka noisy! Food was overpriced and the service was poor. For all the questions for more orders, our server forgot to put in the order for the tuna pizza! WHat the hell! In as much as we would like to order some more, i was at that point of not happy with the condescending server.Special Features:
- Great service at the tablekriptionVIPDined on 8/15/2014Yellowtail has a fantastic combination of flavors. Must have apps are Lobster Carpaccio, Rock Shrimp, Kobe Beef Tataki, and Filet Mignon Toban. If you go there for nothing else, the Poprock sushi - Popping Spicy Crab is an absolute must. Unfortunately with so much good there is some bad. The hostess stand is filled with very attractive girls that prefer to talk to each other than assist you. If you booked through OpenTable make sure they check you in. They have skipped it on my more than once.Special Features:
- UnderwhelmedEdwardLVVIPDined on 8/15/2014I love Bellagio so was excited for the opportunity to try this restaurant. The energy and vibe was good; the st vice was attentive, but the food was average at best. The flavors were just not there. In a city where Sushi is readily available this restaurant, other than its location misses the mark.
- Great SushiTimetoDineDined on 8/8/2014We come here every time we go to Vegas. Beautiful restaurant setting and wonderful sushi. Also a good sake list selection. Usually the service is outstanding but this time our waiter was too preoccupied with his large parties so we were the forgotten step children. We had to ask two other servers to assist us with another drink and sushi order. Oh well, it cannot always be perfect. I highly recommend this place even if the prices are a tad high but you are in Vegas and on the strip so it comes with the territory. We will be back again.Special Features:
- Nice staff and yummy foodKB67Dined on 8/8/2014The salad was good and the flatbread excellent. I was by myself and the waiter did a nice job of making me comfortable.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful food and ambienceTwoshoesVIPDined on 8/5/2014We had an excellent meal with friends and were able to see the fountains very well which added some fun to the mix. Highly recommend Yellowtail and our service was also fantastic!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Awesome Sushi w ViewJimSDined on 8/4/2014Seated outside to watch water show. The food and knowledge of our waiter was simply outstanding. Tuna Pizza- wow .Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- GreatOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/2/2014Absolutely phenomonal experience. Girlfriend said it was the best sushi she ever ate, which certainly made me happy.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Awesome but expensive..OpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 8/1/2014Very pricey but great sushi. You can keep at at $100 for two rolls, one entrée to share and two glasses of wine. But if you want to get into their specialty rolls they can be $30 each and you'll get closer to $200. By the way the high-priced specialty rolls are the only ones the waiter is going to recommend. When asked he said the other roles are about the same you could find anywhere. I'm thinking "really? Because the prices are pretty special!" Also when we asked if we could have one of the tables closer to the window they politely said we couldn't as those were reserved for VIPs. Again, "really ? What am I?" My question could've been handled much better Still all in all, our simple, you can get them anywhere roles were very good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very goodPetitDined on 7/28/2014You cook really good but your service is not so good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/27/2014Good Afternoon Yellowtail, In celebration for my birthday, you all went above and beyond to make it special for myself & my friends. We had a great table & the service was spot on. Yoshi stopped by to say hello & that is always a nice touch to get a chance to meet the man in charge! Overall we had a great experience & I will continue reccomending Yellowtail to my guests.Special Features:
- New Favorite Vegas SushiOTFansVIPDined on 7/27/2014We have been to most of the top Sushi Restaurants in Vegas. However, Yellowtail has become our new favorite. The recommendation from our server on how to construct our meal was spot on; from the Ahi Tuna Pizza, through the Dynamite Shrimp and on to the Sushi, it was a dining experience not to be forgotten. We recommend Yellowtail to anyone who loves Sushi and a great dining experienceSpecial Features:
- Tuna pizzaBlondie4588VIPDined on 7/26/2014So the food and service was amazing here! Everything we had was excellent. My fiancé and I even got dessert it look so good and we are big sweets people! The thing I would say anyone and everyone should get is the tuna pizza. It has such great flavor and I could eat 3 orders of it. Thanks for the wonderful dinner on our special weekendSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OutstandingRJerDined on 7/20/2014The service was top notch and the food was fantastic. As first time diners of Japanese cuisine we were pleasantly surprised. And when my Husband forgot his credit card they were prompt at notifying us and when we picked it up it had been locked up and only a manager had access.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Romantic but priceyDRJJDined on 7/18/2014Of course we went there for the view and the romantic atmosphere. However, the food was not as good as I expected. It was hard to get sushi without a sauce on it distorting the taste of the fish. But, the knowledge of the waiters was amazing.Special Features:
- OutstandingCBjrDined on 7/17/2014Great place and location. Food was wonderful...Japanese beef - steak was out of this world along with the other main dishes. Service was as expected....outstanding. Would recommend it in Las Vegas.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food in old Vegas!OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 7/16/2014We eat here every trip we make into Vegas, which is 4 or 5 times a year. The food is always good and the staff fun and professional. The restaurant is location a couple of blocks off Fremont St in a neat little area of Old Vegas. It has an enormous bar and private dining, as well as seating for large tables. This time we tried the Pork Chop and it was amazing! This is a great spot to eat and lets you visit the nice section of Old Vegas.Special Features:
- Excellent service!VictoriaDined on 7/15/2014Our server, Erik, made our dining experience a most memorable one: well versed on how dishes are prepared, attentive, intuitive to our tastes. We followed his recommendations, and we were very happy with our choices! The bus boys were courteous, discreet and very attentive as well. The food was exquisite: high quality, very fresh and delicious. Amazing job done by the chefs: very innovating, artful dishes! Thank you very much for an unforgettable evening! I would love to come back in the future.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best sushi EVER!CentralCAFoodieDined on 7/15/2014Don't even know what to say! The fish is prepared perfectly. If you have a big appetite, bring your credit card. The portions are small and so delicious you will want more. The bill was nearly $400 for 4 including tip and one drink each. This rivals Bar Masa in the Aria but has a different feel. We sat at a table in the center of restaurant...not very romantic feel although the restaurant is dark. Service perfect.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- NeggyDined on 7/13/2014great view overlooking the Bellagio water show. great sushi that I had never tried elsewhere, although priceySpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- AvoidtradervicsVIPDined on 7/11/2014Food quality, especially for the price, is way below par. Don't waste your money.

This first novel is one of those books you have a very hard time putting down. I was fascinated by the love story but the ending totally stunned me. This is a writer to watch. I can't wait to read Horan's next book.

When you read "Loving Frank" you will recognize that every layout of organic architecture has his own tongue. It speaks to you and you become a listener instead of a reader. This is a fictionalized true story of the American greatest architect Frank Lloyd Wright. What stands out most are however a true love and courage arising from human hearts that defies time and tradition and culture. Written with elegance and rich with ideas Loving Frank is also a story of an independent, highly educated, rebellious woman at odds with restrictions of early 20th century. Good news for those of you who're planning to write your first book. If you like Fountainhead by Ayn Rand, you will like this book.

Left to right: Primped & Precious, Blinged & Brilliant, & Gold Imperial.So you can definitely see how shimmery/metallic these are right? The first photo is the most color accurate, 2nd is catching the light, & 3rd is a bit blurred to show you the dimensions of the shades. Pretty right? Each swipe is just a touch into the shadow, no primer.
If you have missed my other L'Oreal Infallible Eyeshadow reviews, I tend to prefer the shimmery versions. They are vibrant, ultra-pigmented, & they can also be foiled. I have some of the matte shades & although I don't dislike them I also don't find them as easy for me to work with. These 3 shades are clearly NOT for the matte at heart! They are pretty much all 3 metallic wonders. If you don't usually do shimmery, consider them as a holiday touch, use the gold as a liner or the silver as an inner corner highlight for a smoky eye.
some of my favorite limited edition shades which shows you the packaging (it is different right?) & how lovely those shades are. Also, jump into some of the eye looks I've created using them, like this purple smoky eye I created for my husband's graduation ceremony!
