A confession, readers: when Michael Jackson died, we had no intention of "going to town" on his videos. Like many, we liked Mike. He was a strange character and, in many ways, a troubled guy, but certainly extremely talented. We saluted his many victories, threw up that McCartney/Jackson video, and figured that was that.
But no. The numbers started coming in, and they were astonishing. Michael's albums were dominating the Top 10. Michael's videos, ditto. It turns out people freaking loved Michael Jackson...his songs, his videos, everything. As Y! Music's own Paul Grein reported in Chart Watch: "At the peak of his posthumous sales, Jackson had seven of the week's 20 best-selling albums and nine of the week's 30 best-sellers."
We thought about it for awhile, then decided we'd be foolish to not feature his videos here in Framed. After all, we're very likely the internet's best-loved music video resource, and absolutely the internet's best-loved funny-captions-to-music-video resource. Don't we have an obligation to be in synch with the public's mood?
We decided we did. That's why this week's video is Michael's "Black or White," off the Bad album. Next week's video will be a zesty, brand new offering from America's greatest reunited band, but--for this week--let's enjoy Michael Jackson's amazing 11-minute-long spectacular!
1-- "Sadly, I've failed to discover a space weapon powerful enough to defeat the mighty Pumpkinhead," mused Gummo, The Sentient Bubble. "Yet I must return to Earth in haste to investigate these rumors of a superstar in the company of Bubbles."
2 -- God's many failures--for example, Canadian football--continue to vex the human race.
3 -- Few realize that there's also a Negro Bobblehead League.
4 -- "Wha...?!! Father several of your children in the future?!!"
5 -- Slash boldly decided his next quest would be for the fabled Fountain of Taste!
6 -- "What the hell are those ants doing over there? That's a goddam rubber tree plant."
7 -- "Health care! Free! Umgawa!"
8 -- "Hear me, spirits! My grandfather, like his grandfather before him, was really, really bad!"
9 -- "Slow down, Dobbin! The Ann Coulter Lookalike Contest is an all-day event!"
10 -- "A Canadian Y! Music?!! And bereft of Framed?!!!"
11 -- "Da! We make the big circle and then we take the anti-missile system out Poland! Ha ha ha!"
12 -- By the time science discovered that kids were getting bigger because of fast foods...well, it was simply too late.
- Michael Jackson

Located on the cusp of Wisconsin's beautiful Door Peninsula, The Academy of Fine Art is dedicated to the highest level of instruction in classical methods of drawing and direct painting for students wishing to pursue careers as professional Representational artists. The objective of the Academy is to teach observation skills and sharpen hand/eye coordination.
The philosophy of the Academy demands the return to discipline in art, to timeless classical canons of beauty and to the study of nature as the foundation for great painting. Study at the Academy centers on the importance of drawing (particularly from the human figure) as a means to perfection in painting or sculpture.
The curriculum includes drawing from nineteenth century Bargue lithographs, figure drawing, cast drawing, figure painting in oil and watercolor, sculpture, plein air landscape, still life and portraiture.
Students of the Academy undertake a concentrated and individually structured curriculum. Individual objectives for each session will be clearly stated before the period begins. Students will be assigned to an appropriate curriculum and move to progressively more difficult and challenging assignments upon satisfactory completion of the preceding assignments.
"Our goal in fashioning our curriculum is to continually challenge each student yet not overwhelm them. This requires us to regularly and thoroughly observe and analyze each student's skill level and progress. This will maximize the development of each and every student." -- Craig Blietz, Instructor.
The Academy is held in four eight-week periods with a three-month summer break. Models are provided Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons, Thursday evenings and Saturday afternoons.
Molly Johnson, Owner and Executive Director
Owner and Executive Director of The Academy of Fine Art, Molly Johnson creates and teaches in oil and watercolor mediums, enjoying how each offer different challenges and disciplines.
Having been trained at The American Academy of Art, Chicago and The Academy of Fine Art, Molly's strong educational background gives her a solid understanding of the subject matter yet her works possess a sensitivity of captured moments that engage the viewer.
Johnson lives in Northeast Wisconsin where subject matter abounds. She often paints the farmlands, small towns and beautiful scenes along the shores of Lake Michigan.
Aside from being the owner and Executive Director of The Academy of Fine Art, Molly teaches watercolor and oil painting for Northeast Wisconsin Technical College and fine art classes for all ages in her studio. She actively participates in events sponsoring the growth and availability of the arts for all people. Johnson accomplishes this through volunteering on boards and committees and donating her artwork to raise funds for various causes.
Molly is honored to have shown in the 2009 and 2010 Oil Painters of America National Exhibitions, the Transparent Watercolor Society of America National Exhibition, and the 2010, 2011 and 2012 Richeson75 International Portrait/Figure Exhibition featuring her watercolor and oil figures. She participates in many juried shows and her works hang in public and private buildings throughout the United States. In 2010, Johnson was published twice in the
American Art Collector Magazine
along with two feature stories in the
Green Bay Press Gazette
She is a member of the Wisconsin Watercolor Society, the Transparent Watercolor Society of America and The Oil Painters of America.
Lori Beringer, Instructor
An impressionist, known for her landscapes, still-lifes and portraits that capture a joyous celebration and a deep reverence for the blessings of each day. Her oils express a sense of excitement and energy that come from the intimate exchange of her surroundings.
Although largely a self-taught artist, Lori credits Russian, European and American artists such as Joaquin Sorolla, Nicolai Fechin and John Singer Sargent as influence for her bold vibrant style. She has studied with Daniel Gerhartz, Albert Handell, Ann Templeton, among others.
Lori paints plein air (from life) throughout the year, primarily in Wisconsin where she was born in 1958. Her travels have taken her to various painting locations within the states along with Mexico and France. Painting on site and experiencing the culture create a timeless sense of place in her work.
Lori is a founding member of the Plymouth Art Center, which was formed in 1993 and currently has over 500 members. She is also a member of Oil Painters of America.
Craig Blietz, Instructor
Craig Blietz lives and works in Northeast Wisconsin. He is best known for his rural and agrarian inspired imagery, primarily that featuring domestic farm animals. Blietz's work presents a surreal interpretation of animals in the 'pastoral scene' suggesting much about the relationship of the animals to one another and the resulting parallel to human behavior.
Blietz received a BS from The University of Denver. He continued his art and design studies at The Harrington College of Design and finished his formal studies with four years of academic training at The School of Representational Art. Blietz studied privately with master draftsman and recognized Chicago figurative artist Fred Berger. Along with Mr. Berger, Blietz studied with recognized Chicago portrait artist Richard Halstead, and also with painter, printmaker, and illustrator John Rush. Several extended trips to the art centers of both Europe and the United States, with the sole purpose being the study of the great masters, has added to Blietz's extensive education.
Blietz's work has been exhibited in venues such as The Fort Wayne Museum of Art, The Charles Allis Art Museum, The Rahr-West Art Museum, The Wright Museum, The Miller Art Museum, Muskegon Museum of Art, West Bend Art Museum, Racine Art Museum/ Wustum Museum of Fine Arts, and The Elmhurst Art Museum to name a few. Craig Blietz is represented by Edgewood Orchard Galleries in Fish Creek, Wisconsin, Tory Folliard Gallery in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and Button-Petter Gallery in Douglas, Michigan.
Ken DeWaard, Instructor
After receiving his BA with honors, Ken worked in commercial art in Chicago while continuing his studies at the American Academy of Art with Irving Shapiro. He studied with
Scott Burdick
at the Palette and Chisel and with Dan Gerhartz. It was there that he adapted his direct and pure approach as well as his bravura brush style, which he achieves by painting from life.
Strongly inspired by
John Singer Sargent
Joaquin Sorolla
Nicolai Fechin
, and other Russian Impressionists, he paints an array of subject matter from every day life. Ken is a member of Oil Painters of America and teaches at Peninsula Art School and Barnsite Art Studio in Wisconsin.
Jeff Hargreaves, Instructor
Jeff Hargreaves is a native of southeast Wisconsin. He graduated from Layton School of Art and Design in 1972 married shortly afterward and in 1978 settled in northeastern Wisconsin.

Jeff began his training through a series of workshops, and in 2005 he pursued formalized training at The Kewaunee Academy of Fine Art.
Jeff is a full time representational fine artist, who teaches painting and drawing and runs a life drawing group he founded in 2009.
Jeff has won many regional and national awards including an Oil Painters of America Eastern Regional Award and many awards from the Richeson 75 Shows.

Jeff has had his work published and he's had interviews with several magazines, most recently American Art Collector Magazine.
Bren Sibilsky, Instructor

Having worked in the art field for over 25 years her current primary focus is sculpture in the style of classical realism with emotional undertones. Her art work is the reflection of her interests in nature and realism. According to the artist her sculptures are, "a study in understanding universal emotion." Born in 1963, in Green Bay, Wisconsin, Bren showed signs of exceptional artistic abilities and at age eight she asked her parents to send her to art school. Years later she graduated from the prestigious Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design (MIAD), formerly the Layton School of Art, in 1987. She studied sculpture with international artist Hanna Jubran and intensive anatomical study with artist Harold Huber.
Some of Bren's many awards include being chosen as an ARC Salon finalist; her sculpture, "Aphrodite," is featured at
under sculpture finalists. Bren was a finalist in the 2011 National Sculpture Society's juried exhibition LOVE New York, N.Y. , and was also a recipient of a "Best of Sculpture" award in Manhattan Arts International's "HerStory" juried exhibition. In 2009 Bren received the Cultural Patriot Award for her sculpture "Daedalus" with The P.I.C.T.U.R.E. Art Foundation in California. She has had many one-person and group exhibitions including those at the Miller Art Museum, The Francis Hardy Gallery, Arc Gallery, Koehline Gallery, The Linden Gallery, Fairfield Center for the Arts, Cedarburg Cultural Center, Plymouth Art Center, Mystical Earth Gallery, Barnsite Gallery, Pinetop Gallery and The Manhattan Arts International Gallery.The artist has been interviewed on WBDK radio, with feature articles published in the Resorter Reporter, Peninsula Pulse, Door County Advocate, Green Bay Press-Gazette, Art Calendar Magazine, Graphic Arts Monthly Magazine and other publications.

She also teaches sculpture at The Peninsula Art School in Door County, WI and at The Academy of Fine Art (an ARC Approved Atelier) in Denmark, WI.
Dyan Elyn Wellmon, Instructor
Dyan Elyn Wellmon is a native of northeastern Wisconsin and has returned to her home state after working for 34 years in the southwestern United States, which included 27 years as a typographer/graphic designer in Las Vegas, Nevada. She is fulfilling a lifelong dream of pursuing artistic goals that she began while living and working in Las Vegas.
Dyan began her education at the University of Wisconsin Manitowoc and advanced her education at the University of Nevada Las Vegas. Her art education began in the latter and upon her return to Wisconsin, she studied at the Gordon School of Art with John Gordon for three years. In 2008, Dyan was accepted into the Kewaunee Academy of Fine Art and studied under artistic director Craig Blietz for three years. In 2012, Dyan returned to the Academy of Fine Art (formerly the Kewaunee Academy of Fine Art) in Denmark, WI to complete the certificate program and began teaching at the Academy in 2013. She has supplemented her formal training with additional study from many nationally recognized artists, and continues to do so.
Dyan's works have shown in many juried exhibitions in Wisconsin. Currently, she works out of her studio in Ledgeview. She states, "I am lured into doing a painting by the excitement of designing and composing, whether I am setting up a still life or a portrait. The subject matter, the message, the design, the lighting, the point of view, the warmth or coolness - all are decisions that affect how a piece is experienced by the viewer - and it is my privilege to establish those."
Mark Zelten, Instructor
For Mark Zelten, artistic expression has always been a major factor in his life, but in recent years, it has become an obsession. Starting with extensive workshops with nationally renowned painters such as David Leffel and Everett Raymond Kinstler, and culminating in his formal training and 2008 graduation from the Kewaunee Academy of Fine Art. There, he studied under the masterful vision of Door County painter and artistic director Craig Blietz. Since then, this Northeastern Wisconsin native has become an instructor at the Academy, while his paintings have appeared in numerous juried exhibitions, including the Miller Museum in Sturgeon Bay, the annual Arts Unlimited show in Green Bay, where he received a First Place award for portraiture, the Francis Hardy Center for the Arts in Ephraim, where he garnered a Juror's choice award, the Cedarburg Plein Air Festival Quick Paint event, earning an Honorable Mention and most recently, acceptance in the Oil Painter's of America Eastern Regional Exhibit in Wilmington North Carolina. Mark has quickly forged a remarkable retinue of portrait and landscape painting and has continued his study with workshops from Tony Pro and Wisconsin master painter Dan Gerhartz.

The chin looks a bit odd, I agree with the comment below, cleaning up the line art a bit will improve it. More defined shades and lighting to the hair will make it seem less flat. Overall nice job. She looks like she has attitude X) Keep drawing ^o^

All indications have been that Alibaba is the central government's primary "alter ego" for international trade and/or trade promotion. Trade in Chinese manufactured goods is not quite Microsoft's market - though it certainly wouldn't be a bad move for Microsoft to "open up new markets and revenue streams". :-P Too bad for Microsoft IF it was obliged to "acquire" (pay for) the Alibaba interest as part of the Yahoo buyout. I suspect soon after the acquisition the Chinese government would soon find a new trade partner.
While I'm certain the Alibaba stake holds significant value I'm equally certain that neither Microsoft nor the Chinese government would care to see Microsoft inserted into China's international "trade in manufactured goods" market.

RUGBY REBORN: Ralph Lauren Corp.'s Denim & Supply is getting ready to open its first U.S. store this spring, but the company didn't get the opportunity to break the news. That's because D&S signage went up on the unit on University Place in New York that the company is in the process of converting from its prior existence as a Rugby store, and the news promptly leaked onto the blogosphere. A spokesman at RL confirmed plans for the conversion but provided no further details on what could be a U.S. rollout of the concept, which already has been tested with a limited number of stores in Europe and Asia. Ralph Lauren Corp. disclosed plans to shutter Rugby in November.

Opinion: And now for Election 2013
Brigid Callahan Harrison is professor of political science and law at Montclair State University, where she teaches courses in American government. A frequent commentator on state and national politics, she is the author of five books on American politics.
YET another kind of perfect storm is brewing in New Jersey – fortunately not one that will involve water in any of its various forms, nor hopefully any downed power lines. But it is a political storm that will focus the nation's political attention on New Jersey.
And this race, our race, has political stakes so high that it will shape the course of our nation's history.
Last Wednesday marked the beginning of election season in New Jersey. And all eyes will be on New Jersey because we host one of only two gubernatorial elections next year (the other is in Virginia).
But New Jersey's race will pivot into the spotlight also because of the presumed presence of Governor Christie, a magnet for national media attention.
For the past 14 months, Christie has crisscrossed the nation as a Mitt Romney surrogate, mobilizing the party faithful for the presidential nominee and 20 congressional candidates, and helping to raise millions for the GOP's coffers.
He has emerged from the season on the short list of potential Republican presidential contenders. But it's a long, congested road from 2012 to 2016, and that road doesn't take E-ZPass.
In order to seriously be considered a contender in 2016, Christie must first win reelection.
There is no shortage of potential roadblocks sitting in his way.
Whether the powers that be – that is, the Essex and Camden County political machines and the bosses who run them – will want to field a viable Democratic candidate to oppose Christie is yet to be seen. Essex and Camden sat on their hands during Gov. Jon Corzine's reelection bid, and facilitated Christie's win. Since that time, the bosses and Christie have been in a fickle yet mutually advantageous strange-bedfellows relationship.
But many think that if the bosses were to turn to anyone to try to knock off Christie, it would be Senate President Steve Sweeney. Sweeney has made all the right noises about running against Christie. His political patron is the powerful Camden County political boss George Norcross, and, polls indicate, he is one of the few Democratic legislators with name recognition beyond the single digits.

That's reported by the University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center and published in the August 1 issue of Gastroenterology.
"This is the first epidemiological study of metformin in the cancer population, and it offers an exciting direction for future chemoprevention research for a disease greatly in need of both treatment and prevention strategies," said Donghui Li, Ph.D., professor in M. D. Anderson's Department of Gastrointestinal Medical Oncology. METFORMIN is the most popular drug prescribed for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes (more than 35 million prescriptions are filled annually). "Metformin works by increasing the cellular sensitivity to insulin and decreasing its level circulating in diabetics. Insulin also seems to have a growth-promoting effect in cancer," said Li, the study's senior author. "Metformin activates the AMP kinase, which is a cellular energy sensor. Recent publications have described that AMP kinase also plays an important role in the development of cancer by controlling cell division and growth." The full Science Daily article ishere. |

The Huffington Post | By Chris Gentilviso Posted: 05/20/2012 1:41 pm Updated: 05/20/2012 3:09 pm
With his wedding set for July, Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass) has a vow in place. Thanks to security concerns, President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama will not be there to share in the festivities.
Frank appeared on C-SPAN's "Newsmakers" on Sunday, explaining how he'd love to have the Obamas attend.
"If he and his wife wanted to come, I would be delighted and honored to have them," Frank said.
But with the ceremony set to take place in his hometown of Newton, Mass., Frank was frank about the Secret Service being an unwelcome addition.
"I don't want to be accused of having shut down the entire region for a five-mile radius on a holiday weekend," he said. "I don't want my guests going through a magnetometer. I would be flattered to have the president do that, but it would ruin the party to have the Secret Service. I'm not critical of them, but they can go take their layered protection of the president somewhere else. Not to my party."
An openly gay Congressman since 1987, Frank's office announced in January that he was marrying his longtime partner, Jim Ready. The pair met in October 2005 at a fundraiser in Maine. After the death of Ready's partner in January 2007, he and Frank began their relationship.

There are some perennials that provide an added bonus of foliage that changes color in the fall.
I love it for its wealth of golden flowers, which fill my vases from mid summer to mid fall.
Fall is really about delayed gratification; we know our perennials will come into flower again as the seasons unfold.
Lespedeza is one of the best flowering shrubs for late summer and early fall. It has long arching stems weighed down by large sprays of purple pea flowers.
If you have a large bare area in your yard, consider planting cannas for a blaze of summer color that will gladden your heart.
The genus "Lobelia" is made up of as many different species as there are days in the year.
As we walk around our gardens hoping to find that last rose of summer, we are already dreaming of roses yet to come.
Whether you prefer the large hyacinths that are synonymous with the Dutch, or the smaller ones beloved by the Brits, do plant some hyacinth bulbs this fall.

Celtic Revival? explores what happens when a society loses its wealth, its faith in government, and its trust in its Church. The glorious rise of the Celtic Tiger in Ireland was thought by many to be a model for future economic growth for countries around the world; its dramatic crash in 2008 resonated equally widely. Yet despite the magnitude of the ongoing collapse, Sean Kay shows that seen in historical perspective, the crisis is part of a much larger pattern of generations of progress and change. Kay draws on a rich blend of research, interviews with a broad spectrum of Irish society, and his own decades of personal experience to tell the story of Ireland today. He guides the reader through the country's major economic challenges, political transformation, social change, the crisis in the Irish Catholic Church, and the rise of gay rights and multiculturalism. He takes us through the streets of Derry and Belfast to understand the Northern Ireland peace process and the daunting task of peace building that has only just begun. Finally, we see how Irish foreign policy has long been a model for balancing competing interests and values. Kay concludes by highlighting Ireland's lessons for the world and mapping a vital path for twenty-first-century challenges and opportunities for the coming generations in Ireland and beyond. less

Drug Ratings for DIFLUCANAverage Rating: 2.7 (226 Ratings) Compare DIFLUCAN with similar:
Results are sorted by Date Rating Was Added Key to Ratings: 1=LOW (I would not recommend taking this medicine.) Page: 1 2 3 4 |
New! Reviews Summary for DIFLUCAN | Top 10 Adverse Effects (reported to FDA)
1 | yeast infection | lips burn and swell, red, itchy rash around mouth/chin/nose that dries out and peels. lips crack/bleed at the corners. rash lasts for about a week before healing. looks and feels horrible. | I have taken Diflucan several times in the past without any side effects but in the past year, it has started to cause a reaction each time I take it. I didn't make the connection until now. I had thought I was having an allergic reaction to a cosmetic I was using but just connected the dots--- within 30 minutes of taking Diflucan, my lips burn and swell and I get a rash that goes around my mouth, my chin, some on my cheeks and nose. The rash is bright red, itchy, raised bumps and lasts about a week. The rash dries out and peels as part of the healing process and looks horrible each step of the way. All you want to do is hide. I will never take Diflucan, orally, again, and will, instead use vaginal creams. | F | 36 | 1 days 150 mg 1X D | 2/23/2014 | 5 | Yeast infection | No side effects except worry after reading some of these comments here. | I think most of the negative comments are associated with allergies to this drug. If you are not allergic to it, then diflucan does what it's supposed to do: knock out the yeast infection. It relieved most of my symptoms In a couple of days after the first pill. Then I was prescribed one more three days later and the rest of the symptoms went away also. | F | 59 | 2 days 150 mg 1X D | 2/18/2014 | 1 | Yeast infection | :-( DIZZY, NAUSEOUS, HEADACHE, CLAMMY HOT FLASHES. I feel over all like I am extremely high on pain killers?!Or a very bad hangover! FAST HEART RATE, I'm very tired and emotional. Sensitive to noises! I will NEVER take this again. Everytime I take it the symptoms gets worse | F | 22 | 1 days 150mg | 2/5/2014 | 1 | Yeast infection from antibiotics | Nauseous, bad taste in mouth, tired, and after 1 day later I started vomiting. Hope this doesn't last long! The pharmacist told me diflucan drug stays in your system for a week. | F | 36 | 1 days 200 mg | 1/30/2014 | 4 | Yeast Infection | Nausea; stomach cramps; gas; overall "sick" feeling | Made me pretty queasy and I didn't feel so good. It was about 3 days after I took it that my yeast infection finally cleared up, but it didn't come back, so I'd say it worked. | F | 19 | 2 days 1X D | 1/14/2014 | 1 | yeast infection | M | 35 | 10 days 150 mg 1X D | 12/31/2013 History | 3 | FUNGAL OVERGROWTH FROM ANTIBIOTICS | I felt dizzy flu like feeling and i had menustral cramps so bad cramping is a side effect of this medication. It made me feel foggy, like I had sleep deprivation By day two my liver was in pain it was pretty intense | It was hard to tell if Diflucan is causing a die off or side effects but I finally decided it was side effects. Diflucan did work it did stop my skin from itching like crazy and it worked fast but the side effects were not worth it to me . I went straight to my Chinese medicine doctor for an herbal natural formula it may take a couple days longer to work, but it highly effective and has no side effects at all. | F | 45 | 7 days 150 1X D | 12/29/2013 | 1 | Vaginal yeast infection | Huge painful blister on roof of mouth tried a few times happened both times | F | 41 | 1 days | 12/21/2013 | 1 | oral thrush | stopped after 1 dose.! 5 hours after taking it, started feeling anxious/panicky, horrible headache, nauseaus, insomnia and inner tremors when trying to sleep. Next day felt like a horrible hangover. | I have taken this before...about 7 years ago. Didn't feel a thing. A few years later it put me in the hospital hyperventilating, however at the time I didn't realize it was the diflucan. 1 year ago, gave me rapid heart rate. Now it did all this.... Am I allergic?? I really don't know. Not typical allergic reaction, just horrible reaction. Feels like a poison. Some people will say its the candida die off, but doctors don't support that theory. I will never take again, but now what do I do for yeast? Monistat cream raises my heart rate too. | F | 47 | 7 days 100mg 1X D | 10/19/2013 | 1 | Thrush | Tingling of face, hands and legs. Also numbness in arems and legs. Episodes of rapid heart and breathing rate. Twitching of legs and facial area. Affected mood. Chills and loss of appetite and fatique at the on set of reaction. | After taking one 150 mg pill, I began to have burning in lips and facial area. Symptoms began to grow, with severe fatigue, numbness is legs and arms. Rapid episodes of breathing after eating or moving around much. Obtained a steriod shot on 4th day of symptoms, which didn't seem to help. Benedryl everys 4/6 hours helped some. My husband missed work for a week caring for me. Throat swelled and finally facial twitching. Please be very cautious taking this medication. I thought twice I was going to die and the people at the ER couldn't believe that this was occuring 8 to 10 days after taking 1 pill of generic Diflucan !! | F | 36 | 1 days 150 MG 1X D | 10/12/2013 | 4 | Yeast infection | I have taken diflucan several times in the past 4-5 years. I have never noticed anything horrible for side effects such a palpitations or rash/hives. However I do get some utering cramping occasionally. I assume its because the ywast infection is pretty bad and the drug is working mightily to get rid of the yeast. I also had a small amount of fungus in my big right toe and it also cleared that up! So thought it was pretty cool it killed two birds with one stone! I sometimes have low back pain and on the first and second day, some white discharge. But again. I believe its the pill doing its job. I have auto immune disease so unfortunately I have to be on antibiotics quite a bit which causes the high amount of yeast infections I get. Sorry to hear so many bad stories. But for me, Diflucan/ diflucanazole works great!! | F | 33 | 1 days 150mg | 10/3/2013 | 2 | Yeast Infection | Strong Heart Palpitations | I just returned from the ER. I took one dose earlier today and this evening I got strong heart palpitations. Very scary-I thought this was the "big one"! This was my first time taking it, I will never take it again... | F | 55 | 1 days 150mg. 1X D | 8/22/2013 | 1 | thrush | Only after the third time of getting reaction did I realise it wad diflucan. Within an hour I had severe burning itch on face and all over body. Tongue and eyelid swelled up. Blisters on tongue making it difficult to eat or drink anything hot for over a week. Never again! | F | 39 | 1 days 150mg | 7/30/2013 | 3 | Vaginal Yeast Infection | Hives, itching, redness, tingling lips, tingling hands, tingling feet, swollen lips. I have taken this medication several times before and it worked perfectly. The last 3 times I took Diflucan, I broke out in hives. At first, I couldn't figure out what was making me have an allergic reaction. Diflucan was the last product I thought broke me out since I've taken it before with no problems. On the third breakout, I determined that it was the Diflucan pill which caused the hives. During the first breakouts, all the doctors and nurses informed me that it was highly unlikely that it was the Diflucan but clearly it was. | F | 26 | 1 days 150 MG | 7/21/2013 | 3 | Yes | None | F | 33 | 2 days 150 | 6/13/2013 | 2 | I had cold. Weak. Swelen lymph. Noisy stomach.etc | M | 23 | 5 days 200mg | 5/31/2013 | 3 | Yeast infection | Same side pain on right side, Hot flash like symptoms on my right side arm and leg. Orange urine after a week. | Hi, I am the same one that had the SEVERE SIDE PAIN. I wanted to give some people an update. I apparently have recurrent yeast infections..... I wanted to let people know that Diflucan will clear up your yeast infection. (not amazingly)... but you have to take probiotics and adjust your diet after or it will most likely come back. So after my CT scan, about a week later my yeast infection symptoms came back (burning). I was hesitant, but my doc put me on a lower does of dilucan 100mg. I took 1, then 1 three days later, and she wanted me to take one once a week after that for 6 months..... So after that I took one 6 days later and then another three days later since I was still having the burning and it didn't appear to be working and she said it was ok..... Before and now I experience weird right arm and leg warm sensations on the meds, occasional orange urine and of corse the side pain came back...... not as bad though. I had all this before on the pill.... I dont understand since I was on a lower does and took it less often...... I told my doctor I dont want to take Diflucan anymore. Obviously I dont react well to it. Iam going to try more natural ways to clear it up. If you have a yeast infection I recommend trying cream first before the pill. | F | 22 | 2 weeks 100mg 2X W | 4/12/2013 | 1 | yeast | I feel like death walking..i ate a big meal drinked water then cranberry juice lastnight.then took the pill lastnight.one pill is all i was given to take.lastnight 5hour later my heart beat so fast thought i was having heart attack.i had full panic attack my right upper part of my stomach hurted like it was finna pop.the middle of my belly button hurt so bad i was crying.i couldnt sleep.today im barey ate my stomach hurt im tired.and i feel like dog shit and death walkin..is this normal..im scared!!!a headace is slowly creepin i call this pill the vampire itz sucking me dry.. | F | 32 | 1 days 150 | 4/7/2013 | 3 | Yeast Infection | Severe right side pain in my lower back and liver region! SO MUCH PAIN! | I have a yeast infection for about a month. I took 1 does of diflucan 150mg at the End of january with no reaction to the product, but it did not clear up my problem. A month later I got tested and still had yeast. My doctor recommend that I try one 150mg does every 3 days for 3 doses. I was like thats fine since I had no reactions and it would only be about a week and Iam desperate. After the first 3 days everything was fine, then i took the second does. Heres where the problem started. Next day started to get right side pain, nothing bad but it was noticeable. It continued to get worse but I thought I sprained a mussel until I took the 3rd does three days later...... THE PAIN GOT WORSE TO THE POINT 800MG OF IBUPROFEN DID NOT WORK. IT HURT SO BAD!!! I ended up in urgent care for 12 hours to get a CT to make sure i didnt have a ovarian cyst or my appendix burst. All said it was not the pill. They sent me home since could not find anything but the pain was so bad i missed school. luckily after that hell I came home and it slowly got better after the drug was complexly out of my system which is why Iam convinced. I have never had this happen before until the pill. BEWARE IF YOUR 110 pounds. It and my liver did not work and I was not even on a long term use.... (ps it stopped the burning in my vaginal region but did not kill all my yeast). I will never take that much again. | F | 22 | 9 days 150mg 3X W | 3/23/2013 | 4 | Yeast Infection | So far, I just had one day of bad gas. I had stomach pain at the start, and this medication made it go away. Before taking this drug, I had been taking 2,000 mg of caprylic acid daily for a month. I had a bad reaction to that treatment at first--severe diarrhea and vomiting, but it was probably the Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction because I got past this after a couple of days. I'm supposed to remain at this diflucan dose for 4 weeks and then get my liver function tested. If all is well, I'm supposed to stay on Diflucan for a total of 6 weeks. I'll be reporting back. | F | 56 | 1 weeks 100 mg 2X D | 3/18/2013 | 1 | YEAST INFECTION | DIZZINESS, NAUSEA, UNABLE TO FUNCTION. EVENTUALLY PANIC ATTACKS FROM THIS DRUG FOR WHICH I AM NOW ON ANOTHER MEDICATION. WILL NEVER TAKE AGAIN | F | 71 | 14 days 150MG 1X D | 2/21/2013 | 5 | Stem cell transplant | Dry lips and mouth | M | 61 | 6 months 400mg 1X D | 2/11/2013 | 5 | Cryptococcus Gatti | nausea, loss of appetite, weight loss, muscle weakness, dry itchy skin, dry patches, red bumps, chapped lips, dry eyes, dry nose, dry mouth, bowel shut down, loss of hair (mainly shedding) loss in nape area. Headaches, hot flashes, vaginal dryness, bruising easily, dizziness, fatigue, tooth pain. | Recommendations for side effects: Bowel-try lactulose solution 2 tblsp per day. Cureve lotion helped with dry skin as well as Mometasone furoate cream (use sparingly). Tooth pain-fluoride varnish. | F | 45 | 8 months 400-600 1X D | 1/6/2013 | 5 | fungal meningitis | hoarseness of voice, dizziness, headaches, nausea | Had fungal meningitis twice in my life. First time around, I took Diflucan for 4 years. Second time around, (recently), I have been taking Diflucan for two months, 800mg both times. I am going to be decreasing intake to 400mg, for the rest of my life. | M | 45 | 800mg 1X D | 1/4/2013 | 4 | Yeast infection | None | Diflucan usually does a pretty good job of clearing up a yeast infection. Occasionally the infection won't go away with one pill and I have to repeat a pill 2 days after the first. That almost always knocks it out. I've never had any side effects from the Diflucan. | F | 34 | 1 days 150mg 1X D | 12/15/2012 | 2 | Yeast infection | After 2 hrs the sides ifs face were tingly & itchy , went to the pharmacist right away.. Allergic reaction.. Took a Benadryl symptoms subsided.. Woke up through out the night face started burning red blotchy again the next morning.. Went to the dr. She said stay on the Benadryl for 3 days... It has always worked for me in the past.. Tingly face happened a couple of times but not like this. Will not be taking it anymore I'm allergic ... Now what? | F | 48 | 1 days 150 | 10/30/2012 | 3 | oral fungus infection | I was taking one pill a day for 5 days(200mg) for possible oral fungus infection. Experienced dizziness and nausea especially the first day. Also some fatigue and raised heart rate. But the side-effects diminished every day. Also am using a medicated mouthwash. Hopefully I will be cured soon! | Every drug gives you side effects....but this one is not really bad!! | F | 61 | 200 1X O | 10/26/2012 | 4 | Valley Feaver | dizzyness, sweating, tightness in chest and stomach - somewhat similar to the feeling you get after eating a lot of food. | Diflucan definitely helped get the fungus out of my lung. Was diagnosed with pneumonia 2 times over the course of 2 years before it was found that fungus has been growing in there, so the infection was pretty severe. After a month, I had no more pain. Wheezing went away after 2 months. I had no side effects for the first 3 months. During the 4th month, side effects got really bad to the point where I had to wait until I had a few hours after taking it where I could relax under a fan. | M | 26 | 6 months 200 mg 2X D | 9/15/2012 | 1 | Yeast Infection | Severe hives, angioedema (swollen eyes, lips, and forehead), swollen glands, difficulty breathing. | The day after the 1st day of a 2 day dose, I developed a small case of hives that I thought was a food allergy. However, within hours, I intensely broke out into hives, and my face began to swell. I did not take the Diflucan on the second (and the last day of the prescription) because I was taking Benedryl, still unaware of the cause of my hives, but not wanting to mix drugs. I woke up to angioedema, to the point where I could hardly see, my eyes and lips were horribly inflamed and the hives rash was unlike the kinds I get from food allergies. The hives were on my legs, torso, arms, knees, back, and feet. My hands and feet felt swollen (although they looked normal) and I could have sworn that there were hives on my palms and the bottoms of my feet (even though I couldn't clearly see anything). Since the hives were severe, I refrained from hot baths, applied ointment, drank water, and tried to ease the symptoms with Benedryl. The only time I felt good was when I was asleep, but the symptoms would wake me up at times and I struggled to get rid of the burning sensation. After the 4th day, the sweeling in my face subsided, but the hives became aggressive, now covering my forehead, ears, scalp, neck, shoulders, torso, underarms, trunk, buttocks, legs, knees, and the tops of my feet. The rash was also much larger and more painful than the hives I'm used to experiencing. It was then that I realized it wasn't a food allergy (which typically lasts a few hours up to a day | F | 37 | 1 days 200mg 1X D | 7/29/2012 | 1 | vaginal thrush | Had taken it before with no problem. The last 2 times I have suffered horrific side effects. Swelling of the throat, eyes and lips. Day 2-my eyes began to weep yellow fluid constantly as well as being extremely fatigued. Day 3, eyes still weeping, burning pain in genital area, mouth and lips red and sore. Day 4, eyes STILL weeping, cant lift my arms to shoulder height. Day 5, eyes still weeping and getting stabbing pain behind my left eye. Genital blisters. The skin around my mouth looks badly burned and blistered, EXTREME fatigue. Day 6, weeping eyes becoming better, fatigue remains! NEVER AGAIN!!!!!!! I would rather have thrush!!"! | F | 43 | 1 days 150mg | 7/15/2012 | 3 | Vaginal Yeast Infection | Took the medicine for 7 days in February, got a nasty cold sore. Took 1, 150mg tablet in early June, no cold sore but it didn't cure the infection. Took another dose of 100mg for 7 days, cold sore again. | Dr said it's "not common" but it sounds like people can develop these symptoms. The last time around they tested me for HIV (I'm thinking, so it's more likely that I have HIV than the medication is causing this?). I was Negative. they want me to test again in 2 weeks. | F | 24 | 7 days 100 mg 1X D | 7/8/2012 | 1 | Yeast infection | I had swollen top lip and it left a dark mark, which everyone notices :( | F | 27 | 2 days 150 | 6/22/2012 | 3 | Chronic yeast infection | None so far but I am only halfway through. | I am not sure this is even working. I don't feel any different. | F | 45 | 30 days 100 1X D | 5/18/2012 | 3 | Yeast Infection | I took Diflucan a few months back and woke up in the middle of the night because the soles of my feet were extremely itchy and my lips were itchy and swollen. Coincidentally, that day I used a new face wash and lip balm, and had my carpets cleaned so I thought it was one of those things that I was reacting to. I had previously taken Diflucan without issue so didn't think twice about it being the cause. My feet were itchy and tingly for days. Fast forward to tonight -- I took another dose to treat a YI (6 months after the first reaction). I am now experiencing itchy lips and have put two and two together and have realized that I have an allergy to this med. I took a Benadryl so hopefully it will prevent the itchy foot reaction. | F | 37 | 1 days 150 MG 1X D | 4/27/2012 | 2 | Yeast infection | Stopped working after the 3rd time I took it. The doctor started doubling up on my prescription to the point I was taking 3. Absolutely ridiculous. It also gives me stomach aches and i believe it doesn't work if your too far into the infection. Never again | F | 19 | 1 days | 3/21/2012 | 3 | Thrush | More tired than usual | I was scared to take it after reading all of the reviews, but other than feeling tired I had no side effects. It took until day 6 before I saw any results | F | 23 | 7 days 150mg 1X D | 3/10/2012 | 1 | Recurring Yeast Infection | Headache, Nausea, Dizziness, Light-headed, High Blood pressure, Elevated Heart rate, Muscle weakness, Fatigue, Chest pain... BEFORE TAKING THIS DRUG BE VERY AWARE OF THE POSSIBLE NEGATIVE SIDE EFFECTS!!! | I am perfectly healthy and I ended up in the ER from taking this prescription and missed several days of work. It has been 6 days since I took the last pill and I still don't feel normal. I would NEVER take this again. | F | 23 | 4 weeks 150 MG 1X W | 3/9/2012 | 5 | vaginal yeast infection | Within a few hours of taking the first dose I developed these strange little bumps on my face and arms and felt a little lightheaded and breathless. I don't know if it was hives or not but I took an antihistamine and felt better. They have since cleared up. Also, I've had a bad taste in my mouth. Food has tasted a little strange but I'll take that over the awful yeast infection any day! | I had a bad yeast infection and was very uncomfortable with lots if itching and soreness. I had taken Diflucan before so I knew it would alleviate the symptoms quickly with no mess. I was prescribed 2 150 mg pills. I took the first on day one and the second three days later, today. I know my body is still clearing the yeast infection but my symptoms have already dramatically improved. The itching was reduced within a few hours, and each day I have noticed improvement. I was prescribed an external cream for itching but haven't even needed it. | F | 27 | 2 times 150 1X D | 3/1/2012 | 5 | Vaginal Yeast Infection | None at all | F | 18 | 1 days | 2/17/2012 | 1 | Yeast infection | Severe vomiting, dizziness, fatigue, weakness, headache, chills | F | 36 | 2 days 150 mg | 2/9/2012 | 5 | Yeast Infection | Mild Nausea/stomach pain | F | 40 | 1 days 200MG | 1/16/2012 | 2 | chronic yeast infection | tiny flesh colored bumps on my face, by my eyes and neck!! I have taken it before and never got those. Has anyone else got bumps or hives on their face and neck? | F | 23 | 1 days 150 mg 1X D | 1/9/2012 | 5 | Fungal Meningitis from Valley Fever | Initially my nervous system went crazy, leg shaking all the time, unable to sleep AT all. After two weeks I was able to sleep. The vibrating leg thing has subsided over the year I have been on it. Chapped lips that never get better. Loss of body hair (what woman doesn't want that though) | I have a lot of pain in arms, shoulders, neck but I'm not sure if that is the drug or the disease. | F | 56 | 1 years 600 MG 2X D | 12/19/2011 | 1 | oral thrush | please be wary taking this drug...evil side effects..this took a whole week of my life.originally tried nystatin for the thrush but didnt work so dr put me on this..had to discontinue it after 4 days because of the terrible itching,burning skin and rash but the real side effects started on day 3..exhausted.literally couldnt get out of bed for 5 days...really though i had something really bad,didnt eat..no energy,felt depressed on this med.horrible horrible..didnt even have the energy to reply to my hubby when he spoke to me..ive never cried so much as felt so so ill.like the worst flu ever but so much worse,i hope this dosnent happen to anyone else..wouldnt want anyone to go through this.dr said the drug stays in system and can make you ill for up to 7 to 10 days after you stop taking it.6 days after stopping it the itching and exhaustion eased..on the upside the thrush is gone although it took a while and ive lost nearly a stone.please please be careful with this and if you feel any s | evil nasty medication..please be wary.. | F | 41 | 4 days 50mg 1X D | 12/16/2011 | 2 | Vaginal yeast infection | I was supposed to take the pill once a day for 14 days, but on day 7 I broke out in hives on my abdomen, on day 8 I developed a rash on my face, and on day 9 the sunshine through my car window hurt the skin on my face like a sunburn, and I began to wheeze, so I stopped taking it on day 10 as I put my symptoms down to the diflucan. | I read everyone's comments here, and I can't believe how prevalent the negative side effects are. I will use this site to check on other prescribed drugs before taking them! I pray these symptoms will go away soon,cand I caution others who may think taking it for a longer term will improve their results. | F | 52 | 10 days 100 mg 1X D | 12/10/2011 | 5 | yeast infection | Only some white thick discharge which I'm sure is completly normal. The symptoms of a yeast infection literally dissappear in a couple hours ! This drug is an absolute miracle ! I wish everyone could tolerate it well, cause it really works wonders! And fast and no messy creams ! | F | 25 | 1 days one pill | 12/9/2011 | 1 | Oral Thrush | severe hives, migraines, blurred vision, bruised/itchy skin, swollen glands, blisters on tongue, chapped/peeling/burning lips, burning sensation all over body, unsteady heartbeat, horrible fatigue, feeling unbalanced physically and emotionally, can't even begin to list it all, TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE! | I felt fine when taking my 10 day (twice daily) round of Fluconazole(the generic Diflucan) but the day after I was finished I started feeling as if I was coming down with the flu and developed hives on my stomach and back. I figured I was having an allergic reaction to something in my clothing/in the air/ etc so I took some Benadryl and went to bed. The next day the hives had spread to my legs, tops of my feet, arms, chest and Benedryl didn't seem to be helping. By the next day it had spread up my neck to my face, ears, scalp, and mouth and started to resemble a severe sunburn that itched and burned. My tongue developed blisters and felt like it was burning. My lips were chapped and peeling and chapstick offered no relief. Then the headaches and the tickle feeling/swelling in the back of my throat began. I now have a cough because of the tickle that isn't helped by drinking water or medicine etc. At one point I thought my airway might close up. Now 95% of my body is covered in a burning/itching/bright red rash. Unfortunately, this all started on a weekend and my doctor has been straight booked so I will finally get to see her first thing tomorrow. I'm concerned she is going to brush me off but I know this is from the Diflucan. This is my first and last time taking this medication. I rarely take meds for anything but recently had my wisdom teeth pulled and had to take an antibiotic to keep from getting any infection which caused me to have oral thrush and a vaginal yeast infec | F | 27 | 10 days 200 mg 2X D | 12/6/2011 | 1 | Oral Thrush | Sores inside mouth, tongue and lips. | My problem started with being prescribed Cephalexin to prevent possible infection on a cyst removal in October. Needless to say Cephalexin caused problems with the healing process. I was taken off this drug and the incision healed. In November came down with a sinus infection was put on Amoxicillin, next thing I know I have oral thrush. Dr. puts me on Fluconazole 100 mg for ten days. Developed cold sores, dry lips, sore tongue (ulcers) on tip. Please think twice about any prescribed medicine your Dr. gives you. There all toxins and they can play havoc on your system. | M | 61 | 10 days 100 mg 1X D | 11/27/2011 | 4 | Oral Thrush | Headache and some stomach upset, but I know it's because this drug is hard on the liver. | To the person who recently posted that they have chronic yeast problems... if you take birth control pills, stop because that can make yeast infections keep coming back. Also, if you have amalagam (silver) dental fillings, get them replaced with white fillings because the mercury in the silver ones compromises the immune system. Chronic yeast is always caused by a compromised immune system. I have the same problem. I will be getting my amalagam fillings removed soon. | F | 42 | 1 days 150mg 1X D | 11/23/2011 | 2 | Precaution from Antibiotics | In the past this has always worked effectively for me. However, this time, my doctor gave me bactrim and diflucan together. I was to take one when I started the antibiotics and the second when I finished. The first time I took it with the bactrim, My mouth felt tingling and throbbing. I could actually feel my blood pressure in my mouth. I felt pricklyna all over my body including my vaginal area. I kept taking the bactrim but with each dose, I felt shaky and my blood pressure rased so I thought I was allergic to the bactrim. I developed a huge blister on the roof of my mouth which hurt so bad, I could not eat or drink anything. After I stopped taking the bactrim, I forgot to take the last diflucan so, a few days later, I took it and the same thing happened. My mouth throbbed, I developed a blister over the entire roof of my mouth, and now, I cannot eat or drink anything from the pain! It hurts so bad. I will not take either of them again. I think they both caused some kind of reaction. | F | 38 | 1 days 150 1X D | 11/23/2011 | 1 | chronic yeast | It made the yeast rise even more. I have been experiencing it for 3 years and no cure. I have also been experiencing bv from time to time and the yeast won't go away. Sometimes I don't experience it. Could it be possible that I could be immune to diflucan? | F | 29 | 2 days 150 mg 1X D | 11/20/2011 | 1 | Systemic Yeast Infection | Naseau, stomach pain, throbbing stomach | I have been off the medicine now for 2 weeks and I still have the stomach pain and throbbing. From what I hear this medication has a long half life and can stay active in your system for a long time. | F | 57 | 19 days 200 mg 1X D | 11/18/2011 | 3 | Recurrent Yeast Infection | I had 3 or 4 yeast infections in the last 12 months. My doctor gave this to me because the last treatment kit didn't completely get rid of the infection. I took this with my lunch yesterday and felt fine until dinner time. I cooked my dinner and started to eat it. Halfway through I couldn't stand the smell or taste of it. This morning I thought I was going to throw up after just a small sip of my coffee. I broke out in a sweat and felt dizzy. I didn't throw up but my stomach still feels funny. I did have some vaginal itching overnight. | So far it has worked othere than the nausea, slight dizziness, and breaking out in a sweat. | F | 24 | 1 days 150 mg 1X D | 11/17/2011 | 1 | yeast infection | I recently had a minor surgery and was given antibotics. I incurred a nasty yeast infection from it and called my dr. for the diflucan. I know from taking in the past that it has caused a cold sore, however, my lip starting itching and burning less than an hour after taking the diflucan this time. A few years ago I suffered from recurring yeast infections and couldn't figure out why I was all of a sudden having painful and huge cold sore breakouts. It always appears in the same spot so I thought I caught this cold sore from someone else. I then realized it was from the diflucan and will NEVER take this pill again! | I read all of the other comments and was shocked to see I am not the only one suffering from side effects of this medication. Some miracle pill. I remember the first time I ever took it I had no side effects and it worked great. But, the more I took it, now looking back this is the cause of this cold sore and am very upset that a medicine to "heal" you can cause another medical and embarrassing issue to deal with for weeks! Oh the burning and itching in both my lip and genital area is crazy! I hope others will choose NOT to take this "medicine". | F | 34 | 1 days 1X D | 10/27/2011 | 2 | Yeast infection | Swollen lip itchy face soars inside mouth Can't sleep | never will take again!!!!!!!! | F | 36 | 1 days 50 1X D | 10/18/2011 | 1 | Vaginal yeast infection | A week ago I took the generic form called Fluconazole and noticed a headache for two days. A week later I took another dose of150 mg which was yesterday and this morning I woke up and couldnt walk a straight line because of severe dizziness. I felt like I was going to vomit. It has lasted all day I feel horrible. | I called my doctor and he said it was so rare to feel like this however after doing my own research I see it is not rare at all. | F | 48 | 1 days 150 mg 1X O | 10/15/2011 | 5 | Yeast Infection | No side effects. | Took one tablet which effectively decreased my yeast infections. Second tablet (4 days later, as prescribed by my doctor) fully healed my infection. I'm not sure why so many people have ill reactions but I had a pretty cut and dry case. Oh, and to the woman complaining that it gave her oral herpes... well, I think we all know the truth about that one. | F | 28 | 2 days 20 1X D | 10/4/2011 | 1 | Candida | terrible rash/purple blisters | Within 45 minutes of taking this my right side would start itching along with my right lower eyelid. Two hours later I developed a terrible rash/blister all over my stomach, back and the back of my neck. | F | 40 | 1 days 100 mg 1X D | 9/20/2011 | 1 | Recurrent Yeast Infection | Nausea, diarrhea, headache, felt horrible, dizziness, fainted, stomach pain - if I stand for any length of time, the dizziness leads to almost fainting | First time to take this and I will never take again. Day 2 of feeling bad with ALL these side effects....how long do these last? I am NOT taking the second pill that came with my Rx. | F | 45 | 1 days 1X D | 9/2/2011 | 5 | Vaginal Yeast Infection | I had no side effects other than some stomach pain and nausea. Nothing too bad. I have used this at least 5 times and it always works. However, this last time I got severe die off symptoms. My doctor recommended I try a cream along side this, but according to many sources online, that would only make it worse. Be aware of Yeast Die Off. I also have regular yeast infections, so this medicine may be why, not sure. | F | 22 | 2 weeks 1X W | 9/1/2011 |

It was not a good day for Canada's telecom regulator, the CRTC, yesterday. It's much-awaited decision on how Canada's $10-billion local telephone market will be deregulated was hit with a hailstorm of criticism from incumbent carriers who are shocked the CRTC failed to properly analyze the shifting competitive landscape as cablecos build market share while Web-based service providers such as Vonage, Primus, AOL and Skype establish footholds. Instead, the CRTC said incumbent carriers have to lose 25% market share before they can apply to have a specific market deregulated- a process that could take as long as two years. So instead of getting the new, streamlined regulatory framework, the incumbent carriers find themselves with another complex, bureaucratic system that, if anything, will put more pressure for the CRTC to be reformed.
To make matters worse, the CRTC's media call yesterday was embarassing. Rather than use the widely accepted conference call system whereby participants call in and have their questions moderated by an operator, the CRTC decided to use an antique system that had probably been collecting dust somewhere. This saw the operator call each reporter around the country. And rather than having questions queued up, anyone could ask a question any time – not a good thing with reporters on deadline with different agendas. To make matters worse, the sound quality was so bad you felt like the call was being done in a submarine. Then, the theme song from 2001: A Space Odessey could be heard in the background. When that disappeared, it was replaced by beeping of a call-waiting system.
A Bad Day for the CRTC

Ahrwein Engel: Senf - a delicious sideline
This is a wine shop (Ahrweiler is in the Eiffel region - a big wine producing area) - they also sell speciality mustard from the Historische Senfmuehle Monschau here - all kinds of gorgeous mustard! I bought several jars as gifts to take home (but haven't been able to part with any just yet!). My host Win also bought wine - he knows and loves his wine and is a bit of a connoisseur!
What to buy: I bought mustard with Feige, Hoenig, Ur Rezept, and Knoblauch, (fig, honey, traditional and garlic). I've just started on the fig and it's delicious (although my son tells me it's a little too fruity for mustard).
This is of course a wine shop - I would suggest you ask the helpful and knowledgeable shopkeeper's advice and buy a good one! (or two :))
What to pay: The mustard comes in gorgeous little glazed terracotta pots and cost just under E5 each. The wine was of course quite a bit more!- Road Trip

Me and my step-mum had big fun browsing through the shop window and earnestly discussing all our friends' dogs and which item would suit each of them best...
What to buy: Dog accessoires
What to pay: Quite a lot, I guess.- Travel with Pets

Ahrland Wine Shop: Best Selection of Ahr Wines
This is an excellent shop because it has a very broad selection of wine from the most important winegrowers in the valley. Usually, the prices are the same that you would get if you bought the wine from the winery itself (which in most cases is possible as well and quite recommended as many estates also have tasting, an eatery (and sometimes even accommodation)
What to buy: Wine and a whole range of local and international delicacies. Ready wrapped gifts and deli baskets available.
The Shop also has a pretty decent web site through which you can mail order most of the products.
What to pay: Let me say this again, Ahr wine is not cheap. Simple qualities for everyday consumption (Portugieser or Dornfelder grapes) start at about 5 EUR. The classic Pinot Noir price range begins at about 9 EUR. An internationally valued champion wine from one of the top producers (e.g. Meyer Naekel) can easily cost 40 - 50 EUR.- Wine Tasting

Different Shops in all Ahr Valley Communities: Ahr Wine -- What to Buy
First of all, some general remarks: Apart from maybe a couple of New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs and Chardonnays, Germany is home of the world's greatest white wine -- the Riesling. Typical Riesling growing areas are the Rhine Valley near Wiesbaden (Rheingau region -- try wines from Robert Weil) or the Mosel valley all the way from Trier to Koblenz (many great buys here -- I suggest Dr Loosen)
The Ahr is known best for red wines, mostly Pinot Noir, known to Germans as "Spätburgunder". It's probably the world's most northerly growing area for Pinot Noir. Generally, German Pinot Noirs are very pleasant wines, not as deep and complex as their French counterparts, but all the more enjoyable when you just feel like opening up a bottle and having a couple of glasses. The warm climate of recent years, however, has brought a considerable approximation of styles towards the French ones. All good estates now have powerful and complex wines in their product range. In 2006 an Ahr Pinot (from Meyer-Naekel) reached the 4th place in an international competition involving 360 Pinot Noirs from all over the world.
The valley is a very tiny growing area, which means that prices are generally above average.
This goes for all German wine: If you are in front of a shelf and just don't know which one is good and which one isn't (LIEBFRAUMILCH IS NOT A TYPICAL GERMAN WINE!!!!), watch out for a logo containing an eagle AND the three letters VDP. The VDP trademark guarantees that the wine comes from one of Germany's top vineyards and has been produced according to strict quality standards.
2003 was an excellent year!!!
What to buy: The Ahr region boasts no less than 6 VDP wine estates, the best of them probably being Meyer-Naekel. Meyer-Naekel also makes a superb Riesling which easily competes with its brothers from the Mosel valley and dumps a lot of much more expensive Rheingau Rieslings.
Other important wineries include Deutzerhof and Nelles.
What to pay: A good Spätburgunder from the Ahr region costs at least 8 EUR -- prices above 20 EUR/bottle are not extraordinary.- Food and Dining
- Wine Tasting
- Disabilities
shopping in the Streets
all shop owners put their goods on racks, manly clothing, out on the street, to entice customers to buy as well as to stretch the shops capacity a little, this is very common custom in Germany's Cities
- Road Trip
Craft Shops in Ahrweiler's Pedestrian Zone
There are many craft shops, making a stroll through Ahrweiler's pedestrian zone a great experience. Better quality and prices than in some of the big city shopping districts where high rents have to be paid and are passed on to the customers.
What to buy: local crafts, candles, kitchenware, food, household items- Wine Tasting
- Disabilities
- Romantic Travel and Honeymoons
various local shops, or mail-order from vinery: Pinot Noirs ("Spätburgunder") from Adeneuer
I just tried a bottle of the new 2003 standard Pinot Noir from Adeneuer vineyards and am quite impressed -- it's truly incredible, how balanced and elegant this young wine already tastes.
Adeneuer is one of the shootings stars of the Ahr valley. A member of the VDP association, the vinery is headed by two brothers. It has received numerous national and international awards for its Pinot Noirs
What to buy: 2003 Ahrweiler Spätburgunder -- trocken (dry)
- A great wine to go along with antipasti, tapas, crackers, all kinds of light snacks.
What to pay: Around EUR 9 per bottle, very good value for money- Wine Tasting

I purchased my Inventor 11 license in 2006 and have recently upgraded to Windows 7. During the pre-installation check it gives me the error "Unsupported operating system". I have spent searching on the web and the Autodesk website, but got mixed answers about the compatibility of Inventor 11 with Windows 7. Some have said that it can be made to work (not sure if there meant Inventor 2011) .
If there is any way to install Inventor 11 (purchased in 2006) in WIndows 7, please let me know.
Solved! Go to Solution.
It's not supported by Autodesk. You might try 32 bt compatibility mode in Win7
Make sure you install using these tips:
Thanks Dennis!
Hmm, if Inventor is not supported in Windows 7, what is this table referring to?
Oh and I just tried everything in the table cited in the post and nothing works. Even going to a local admin account (enabling it) and I still get the unsupported operating system for Inventor 11 and this is on Win 7 64 bit pro.
So I'm going to tell my end user unless someone has a solution that we can't support Autodesk Inventor 11 on Windows 7 since I just can't get it to install period.
This is very very ambiguous in the posts I've seen in terms of "it works" or it doesn't. The below says it does unless I'm really misreading it, various posts all have the same issue where the pre-installation check fails.
nventor version | OS name | OS service pack | |
32 bit | 64 bit | ||
R2011 | Windows XP | Sp3 | Sp2 |
Windows Vista (all flavors) | Sp2 | Sp2 | |
Windows 7 (all flavors except Windows 7 Starter and Windows 7 Home Basic) | Yes | Yes |
nventor version | OS name | OS service pack | |
32 bit | 64 bit | ||
R2011 | Windows XP | Sp3 | Sp2 |
Windows Vista (all flavors) | Sp2 | Sp2 | |
Windows 7 (all flavors except Windows 7 Starter and Windows 7 Home Basic) | Yes | Yes |
thats 2011 not Inventor 11
Inventor 11 is different from 2011
IV 11, purchased in 2006 and IV 2011, released in March-April of 2010, are very different in terms of hardware and OS requirements.
Your user needs to go back to XP, or buy IV 2011 (last years release) or buy IV 2012 (current release). If your user had stayed on subscription, he could have migrated to the new versions (or stayed at the one he liked) as he liked.
My guess is that IV 11 is old enough that there is no longer upgrade pricing available. Talk to the reseller to get an accurate quote.
I have Inventor 11 (not Inventor 2011) on my Windows 7 laptop. A friend of mine figured out how to do it and it works fine. All I know is he had to use "emulate XP mode" or something like that. I'll post a link if he remembers where he found out how to do it.
