Rough sets and fuzzy rough sets serve as important approaches to granular computing, but the granular structure of fuzzy rough sets is not as clear as that of classical rough sets since lower and upper approximations in fuzzy rough sets are defined in terms of membership functions, while lower and upper approximations in classical rough sets are defined in terms of union of some basic granules. This limits further investigation of the existing fuzzy rough sets. To bring to light the innate granular structure of fuzzy rough sets, we develop a theory of granular computing based on fuzzy relations in this paper. We propose the concept of granular fuzzy sets based on fuzzy similarity relations, investigate the properties of the proposed granular fuzzy sets using constructive and axiomatic approaches, and study the relationship between granular fuzzy sets and fuzzy relations. We then use the granular fuzzy sets to describe the granular structures of lower and upper approximations of a fuzzy set within the framework of granular computing. Finally, we characterize the structure of attribute reduction in terms of granular fuzzy sets, and two examples are also employed to illustrate our idea in this paper.

London's universities say 'OpenSME' to new support for capital's small businesses
A group of London's universities are launching a new collaboration – OpenSME – that seeks to make it easier for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to access the expertise and knowledge they offer.
Timothy Barnes
Director, Enterprise Operations and Director, UCL Advances
E: email@example.com
A graduate of UCL, Tim began his professional life as a business consultant with a 'big five' firm in London. He has worked as an investment manager at a pan-European investment firm that specialised in early-stage technology ventures, initiating the firm's university liaison programme, which included members from across Europe. Prior to Advances, he spent six years running his own business, which helped universities and large corporations – including UCL, the BBC and Reuters – to spin-out high technology companies.
Tim joined UCL Advances in August 2007 to
lead the department from launch. Since then, it has grown from a four to 20
person unit and has raised over £6 million from funding bodies and other
corporate partners, including the Higher Education Council for England (HEFCE)
and European Union ERDF.

Kalamandalam Hyderali (1946-2006) was one of the best Kathakali singers of his generation, and the first non-Hindu artiste to make a mark in the four-century-old classical dance-drama from Kerala in south India. [1] Hyderali was a native of Ottupara in Wadakkanchery of Thrissur district. His father, Moidutty, was an exponent of Mappila Paattu. [2] The art world first took notice of little Hyderali's talent when he won a local-level competition, singing the Malayalam film song \"Kalle Kaniville\". It was when he was 11 years old that Hyderali joined Kerala Kalamandalam. Hailing from a poor family, his parents had struggled to pay the admission fee -- incidentally \"a Hindu and a Christian\" helped him secure admission in the premier performing arts institute, as Hyderali later recalls in his autobiography. At Kalamandalam, he received training gurus like Kalamandalam Neelakantan

The Fun of Empire: Fighting on All Sides of a War in Syria
(updated below)
President Barack Obama officially demanded that Syrian President Bashar Assad resign for the sake of his own people, saying he was no longer fit to lead after "imprisoning, torturing, and slaughtering his own people" during a crackdown on pro-reform protesters.
New York Times, October 24, 2012:
Most of the arms shipped at the behest of Saudi Arabia and Qatar to supply Syrian rebel groups fighting the government of Bashar al-Assad are going to hard-line Islamic jihadists, and not the more secular opposition groups that the West wants to bolster, according to American officials and Middle Eastern diplomats.
Barack Obama, August 31, 2013:
Now, after careful deliberation, I have decided that the United States should take military action against Syrian regime targets. . . . [W]e are the United States of America, and we cannot and must not turn a blind eye to what happened in Damascus.
President Obama has authorized surveillance flights over Syria, a precursor to potential airstrikes there, but a mounting concern for the White House is how to target the Sunni extremists without helping President Bashar al-Assad. . . . The flights are a significant step toward direct American military action in Syria, an intervention that could alter the battlefield in the nation's three-year civil war. . . .
On Monday, Syria warned the White House that it needed to coordinate airstrikes against ISIS or it would view them as a breach of its sovereignty and an "act of aggression." But it signaled its readiness to work with the United States in a coordinated campaign against the militants.
It was not even a year ago when we were bombarded with messaging that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad is a Supreme Evil and Grave Threat, and that military action against his regime was both a moral and strategic imperative. The standard cast of "liberal interventionists" – Tony Blair, Anne-Marie Slaughter, Nicholas Kristof and Samantha Power - issued stirring sermons on the duties of war against Assad. Secretary of State John Kerry actually compared Assad to (guess who?) Hitler, instructing the nation that "this is our Munich moment." Striking Assad, he argued, "is a matter of national security. It's a matter of the credibility of the United States of America. It's a matter of upholding the interests of our allies and friends in the region."
U.S. military action against the Assad regime was thwarted only by overwhelming American public opinion which opposed it and by a resounding rejection by the UK Parliament of Prime Minister David Cameron's desire to assume the usual subservient British role in support of American wars.
Now the Obama administration and American political class is celebrating the one-year anniversary of the failed "Bomb Assad!" campaign by starting a new campaign to bomb those fighting against Assad – the very same side the U.S. has been arming over the last two years.
It's as though the U.S. knew for certain all along that it wanted to fight in the war in Syria, and just needed a little time to figure out on which side it would fight. It switched sides virtually on a dime, and the standard Pentagon courtiers of the U.S. media and war-cheering foreign policy elites are dutifully following suit, mindlessly depicting ISIS as an unprecedented combination of military might and well-armed and well-funded savagery (where did they get those arms and funds?). Something very similar happened in Libya: the U.S. spent a decade insisting that a Global War on Terror – complete with full-scale dismantling of basic liberties and political values – was necessary to fight against the Unique Threat of Al Qaeda and "Jihadists", only to then fight on the same side as them, and arming and empowering them.
Nobody disputes the brutality and extremism of ISIS, but that is a completely different question from whether the U.S. should take military action against it. To begin with, the U.S. not only ignores, but actively supports, all sorts of brutal and extreme parties in the region.
More important, what are air strikes going to accomplish? All one has to do is look at the horrific chaos and misery in Libya - the Successful Humanitarian Intervention™ - to know that bombing Bad People out of existence accomplishes little in the way of strategic or humanitarian value. If one really wants to advocate that the U.S. should destroy or at least seriously degrade ISIS, then one should honestly face what that actually entails, as detailed by the New America Foundation's Brian Fishman:
No one has offered a plausible strategy to defeat ISIL that does not include a major U.S. commitment on the ground and the renewal of functional governance on both sides of the Iraqi-Syrian border. And no one will, because none exists. . . .
Bombing ISIL will not destroy it. Giving the Kurds sniper rifles or artillery will not destroy it. A new prime minister in Iraq will not destroy it. . . . [W]ar makes the jihadist movement stronger, even in the face of major tactical and operational defeats.
The conflicts in Syria and Iraq strengthen ISIL because war is the only force terrible enough to hold together a broad and extreme enough Sunni coalition to be amenable to ISIL. Abu Mus'ab al-Zarqawi recognized this in 2004 and built a strategy of provoking Shia militias in order to consolidate fearful Sunni groups. . .
Without war, ISIL is a fringe terrorist organization. With war, it is a state. . . . This is where I am supposed to advocate a brilliant strategy to defeat ISIL by Christmas at some surprisingly reasonable cost. But it won't happen. The cost to defeat ISIL would be very high and would require a multi-year commitment. . . .
The country must be ready to accept the sacrifices necessary to achieve grand political ends. Until then, any call to "defeat ISIL" that is not forthright about what that will require is actually an argument for expensive failure.
If you like running around sermonizing on the need to destroy ISIS, at least be honest enough to acknowledge what that will really require and then advocate that. Anything short of that is just self-glorifying deceit: donning the costume of Churchillian Resolve and Moral Purpose without any substance.
It seems pretty clear at this point that U.S. military action in the Middle East is the end in itself, and the particular form it takes – even including the side for which the U.S. fights – is an ancillary consideration. That's how the U.S., in less than a year, can get away with depicting involvement in the war in Syria – on opposite sides – as a national imperative. Ironically, just as was true of Al Qaeda, provoking the U.S. into military action would, for the reasons Fishman explained, help ISIS as well.
But the only clear lesson from all of this is that no matter the propagandistic script used, U.S. military action in that region virtually never fulfills the stated goals (nor is it intended to do so), and achieves little other than justifying endless military action for its own sake. How long before we hear that U.S. military action is needed (again) in Libya to restrain the chaos and extremism unleashed by the NATO intervention in Libya? Does anyone really believe that "limited" bombing of Syria and Iraq in a rage against ISIS will result in anything other than more justifications for military action in that region?
UPDATE: The U.S. "is sharing intelligence about jihadist deployments with Damascus through Iraqi and Russian channels," the Agence France-Presse reports today, citing one source as saying: "The cooperation has already begun."
From The New Hitler (back) to U.S. Partner in less than a year: an impressive feat for both Assad and U.S. propaganda.

About 620,000 Military Families Rely on Food Pantries to Meet Basic Needs
This month, the US military announced that the air force had delivered more than 110,000 meal rations to stranded Yazidi refugees in Iraq, in a mission that prompted President Obama to hail "the skill and professionalism of our military, and the generosity of our people." Also this month, a new report found that the nation's food pantries serve 620,000 families with a member in the military - an indication that service members battling poverty must often rely on charities.

The Banality of Police Militarization: How Champaign-Urbana Acquired Its MRAP
Earlier this summer, a local newspaper in Illinois ran a story about how the sheriff in their town had acquired a mine-resistant armor-protected vehicle. Titled "Something Big Just Arrived," the article touted the benefits of the new truck. Yet in the wake of Ferguson, a growing number of people are raising questions about police militarization in their cities. Why does Champaign-Urbana, a small Midwestern college town home to the University of Illinois, need such over-sized military hardware?

The Titus power plant in Berks County will be closing earlier than expected.
The power plant in Cumru Township was set to close in April 2015, but officials said the plant will now close on Sept. 1.
The date was changed due to economic reasons, officials said.
There are currently about 58 employees at the plant. Only about five will remain after Sept. 1.

Would you friend your boss on Facebook? Or follow a superior on Twitter? You may not have a choice. A new congressional ruling is paving the way for employers to get your social media passwords to sites like Facebook and Twitter so they can check out your online life.
Under the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act, employers would be able to ask potential employees to hand over their Facebook passwords along with their resumes.
Danielle Burke, the owner of Atlanta Activewear, likes the idea of knowing the passwords to her employees Facebook and social media sites.
"My employees aren't just working at my store, they're representing a brand and my store image," Burke said.
Attorney Amanda Farahany says businesses that do ask for passwords are setting themselves up for potential legal problems.
"The possibilities for discrimination are endless," Farahany said.
She says she would advise anyone seeking a job who runs into that situation to do one thing first.
"Clean up their Facebook page and make sure there's nothing private on their before you actually turn it over," Farahany said.
Anna Scarbrough, who has worked at a boutique for two years, says if employers want to get a more in-depth look at an employee, checking Facebook isn't the way to do it.
"You cannot know someone just simply by going on their Facebook page because people can have a completely different personality online if they want to," Scarbrough said.
An amendment to the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act that would have prevented employers from being able to ask for passwords was just recently defeated.

As a native of Tel Aviv, stylist Ben David brings an international perspective to his craft that is amplified by his education at the prestigious Ecole de Coiffure de Paris and a hairstyling stint in London. Now living and working in New York, David finds his creativity is sparked by the city's energy and style—an artistic surge that has inspired him to fuse runway looks with wearable shapes at Ben David Salon. This sophisticated aesthetic carries over into the salon's striking minimalist architecture designed by the decidedly chic Avi Oster. David's stable of highly trained stylists has earned its stripes on salon floors all over the city, and the hair designers use their hard-won expertise to execute Ben's visionary hair services such as ammonia-free Inoa by L'Oréal hair coloring, keratin treatments with Lasio products, and fashionable precision cuts using Bumble and bumble. and Aveda haircare tools. Every service begins with a complimentary, in-depth consultation and discussion of hair's very favorite foods.
On his Facebook page, Dr. Lawrence J. Weiss treats visitors to helpful everyday tips, such as how eating cheese can help stave off the decaying effects of acidic foods. This playful devotion?the sense that his mission to maintain bright, healthy smiles doesn't end within his office?exemplifies Dr. Weiss's dedication to his patients' ongoing care, reminding them that taking care of teeth is about more than just mixing toothpaste into your ice cream.
NYU-educated and one of multiple generations of dentists in his family, Dr. Weiss leads a team of dentists, hygienists, and technicians as they craft smiles with a variety of cosmetic, orthodontic, and restorative treatments. To help with routine exams and keep visits convenient, the office employs high-tech methods such as digital x-rays and, occasionally, specialized laser and ultrasonic tools to clean teeth and gums more quickly and thoroughly. The office's friendly, clean environment ensures a comfortable experience whether the staff's creating new dentures, whitening teeth, or working with kids?a particular joy for Dr. Weiss, a father of three young sets of chompers himself.
Chef Ricardo Cardona draws on more than 25 years of culinary experience to build modern cuisine on a foundation of the ingredients and centuries-old cooking traditions of his native El Salvador. These updated classics include tuna ceviche with bright watermelon, piquant jalapeño vinegar, and creamy coconut milk, as well as Cornish hen served with a wild mushroom-chorizo hash.
The restaurant's dining room also fuses antiquity and modernity. Curved metal chandeliers dangle from the dark, exposed ceiling beams while a bright red booth lines one of the stone walls, adding a vibrant burst of color to the space. Behind the booth, a series of backlit alcoves brim with jars filled with orchid petals, which float thanks to the jars' antigravity technology.

Crystallized Ginger
Certified: Gluten-Free Kosher
This imported crystallized ginger is ideal for a spicy snack, a unique cup of tea, or an ingredient in your cooking.
About Crystallized Ginger
Crystallized ginger is pungent with a spicy-sweet flavor and is moist and chewy. It is embraced as a natural remedy for reducing hot flashes - huge numbers of women swear by it. It helps alleviate indigestion and colds...and don't forget to take it with you on boat trips for sea sickness! (Some of us here know from experience that it's an absolutely essential part of your travel kit...)
Interestingly, ginger itself is as old as the recorded history of man. A native to southern Asia and India, it is spoken of in the Jewish Talmud, written about by Marco Polo, and even recommended by Henry VIII as a remedy against the plague.
Crystallized Ginger Health Benefits
1) Anti-Inflammatory Effects: Crystallized ginger can reduce inflammation and relieve the pain associated with it. A 2012 study published in the journal Arthritis compared the anti-inflammatory effect of ginger extract to that of common drugs used in the treatment of arthritis, such as cortisone and ibuprofen. The researchers observed that ginger extract was as effective as cortisone at relieving arthritic pain, and that ginger can treat inflammation without the negative side effects associated with the common drugs.
2) Treatment for Nausea: Ginger has long been used as a natural remedy to alleviate nausea caused by motion sickness, morning sickness, and chemotherapy. A study funded by the National Cancer Institute examined over 600 people who had experienced nausea after a chemotherapy treatment. Those patients who received ginger supplements throughout the rest of their treatments experienced a 40 percent reduction in nausea symptoms.
3) Immunity-Booster: During flu season, make sure you have crystallized ginger on-hand! Ginger contains active compounds that can relieve sinuses and protect the body against toxins and viruses. A 2008 article published in BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine discussed ginger's ability to activate T-cells, a group of white blood cells that help destroy viruses and tumor cells.
Our Registered Dietitian's Top Pick
Our Registered Dietitian and Health Nut likes to add crystallized ginger to stir fries (throw in some cashews, too!). Also, keep a bag of this on hand to boost immunity and to eliminate nausea!

Algeria's presidential campaigns kick off
By Abderrazek Ben Abdullah, Sunday, March 23, 2014
ALGIERS – The election campaigns of Algeria's presidential hopefuls kicked off across this North African country early on Sunday as the nation's presidential contenders started to personally appeal to voters in their country.
Exceptional in this, however, is incumbent President Abdelaziz Bouteflika whose poor health conditions is expected to keep him away from direct contact with the electorate.
Despite this, Bouteflika's campaign managers have started an active offensive to make up for his absence in the southern provinces of Adrar and Tamanrasset.
The ailing Algerian president addressed his people briefly through state TV on Saturday, saying he decided to run in the April 17 elections only in response to popular demand.
He vowed to introduce constitutional and social reforms if he is elected for a fourth term in office.
The government has specified places for the propaganda of the candidates on the streets and also promised to give them equal air time on the nation's state-run television.
Although there are five other candidates besides Bouteflika in the elections, observers expect Algeria's former prime minister Ali Benflis to be the incumbent leader's main rival.
Benflis has started his campaign by organizing a rally in the western Algerian Mascara province.
The campaigns of Algeria's presidential hopefuls are expected to last for three weeks until April 13.
There is only one female candidate in the elections, namely Louisa Hanoune, the head of the Algerian National Front. Hanoune started her presidential campaign in Annaba province, in the northwestern corner of Algeria.
Algeria's presidential race starts amid an acute political crisis in the country with opposition parties and activists stage demonstrations against Bouteflika's reelection bid.

And I found more.
Ha! Just realized one of those isn't even in English. I guess you can disregard the Lunette site.

They did it to me again. I called up there at 4 for my results, and they asked that I leave a message. They never called me back. So I, once again, have to wait until MONDAY to really find out what the fuck is wrong with me. Even though I know its bv I still can't believe I have to wait so god damn long to find out. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!
Has anyone here ever considered...suicide? I'm sorry to bring it up. But a lot of the times, I just can't imagine living like this for the rest of my life. After all that I've already dealt with...I thought it was finally over. But I was wrong. Something new just had to come along. I just look back on the days where I was healthy and I want it back so much that it tears me up inside. That was 3 or 4 years ago...I've been in hell for almost 4 years now and it just gets progressively worse. I'm just so sick of this.

ok so i noticed a new pain today. usually it's cramp like feelings and also some soreness that feels like it's actually in my vagina. now today i started feeling a pinching feeling. felt like someone was sticking something pointy up there and poking me with it. i'm a little worried now. i made an appointment for monday so i'll find out something then hopefully.
morphia that's horrible i'm sorry. maybe a warm shower would help. (i would say a bath but we all know that's a no-no.) or a heating pad to calm things down. aww i feel bad for you. maybe you can call up your doctor and ask for something to help with the pain?

I feel soooooo bad for you! I remember going through the same exact thing. Be prepared because finding a GOOD doctor is very hard. I went through about 10-15 different doctors and I know half thought I was crazy/hypochondriac. I kept thinking "Do these people not see/ smell this rotten shit coming out of my vagina?". I know it was there because at one time it was sooooo bad that when they stuck the spectrum in my vagina, the discharge would come running out. So, with that being said, I know I was not crazy! Doctors are so fucking lazy. They don't care about shit other than what kind of insurance you have. It's sad I had to find my own fucking cure. Knock on wood! Good luck gurl!

Guys, I need help!
ok my MAJOR problem with this b.v./yeast shit is that when I get my period the smell is TERRIBLE! It's the worst smell I could even think of! I am really tempted to purchase tampons because of how bad it can get. I'm talkin' not only me smelling the FUNK, but I know damn well the people around me are suffocated by it! I feel bad for my boyfriend 'cause he has to put up with it when he's with me.Although I change the pad very often, (1-2 hours never longer) the smell just doesn't subside.
I really need suggestions because i'm helpless. Should I try the tampons? My only concern is that it may things much worse, especially smell-wise. Please HELP!

I just got back from the doctor's office. I asked for a culture and he said that he'd never done a culture. That they don't do cultures....Also when I told him about my pelvic pressure he just said "Hmm" and shrugged and then proceeded to tell me that there was no relation to the bv or the cervical dysplasia.So they did a wet prep which came back as inconclusive. But he did allude to the fact that my ph was indicative of bv (didn't say it outright for some reason). So they're running the affirm test. And hopefully I should know in about an hour. The colposcopy was terrible. It burned so bad. And when they were injecting the local anesthetic I couldn't stop shaking. I was already upset by the fact that this doctor just wasn't listening to me and then when the pain set in I just couldn't stop crying. This was by far the most terrible experience of my life. He took several biopsies, which I could still feel over the anesthetic....How do I go about finding a doctor that does cultures? How do I go about finding a doctor that's better than this incompetent piece of shit? The burning is killing me. I can feel it on the inside and on the outside. I've taken a tylenol with codeine and even that is not helping. I just want this to go away...

I have some nerve? I'm not going to explain myself to you anymore. You just don't know when to stop being a know-it-all cunt. Is there an ignore function here?
Go ahead and ignore away. But it won't change the fact that when people tried to help you, your reaction was very rude. And then those very people turned out to be right. I guess you won't be reading this message, but I think you should apologize.
And you've been told this before: if you're going to bite people's head off, don't ask for help in the first place.
I recently just started reading about yeast, I really don't know jack shit about it. But I think that we all have some rare type of yeast that is killing our good bacteria. I didn't know that just because you don't itch or have cottage cheese creeping out that you could still have a massive yeast infection in your blood.
I once talked to a holistic remedy consultant, and she told me to spit in a cup of water, and let it sit overnight. If by the next morning there was a certain pattern in the glass, that meant I had too much yeast in my system.
Or something like that, I forget.
Anyway, she also told me all these awful things that could happen to my body because of too much yeast (not just yeast infections). And then she tried to sell me these pills that would solve the problem.
I'm not saying she's wrong, or right. I don't know jack shit about yeast either. But whenever someone tries to sell me something, that's when they kind of lose credibility with me. (Although since she was a holistic remedy consultant, I should have expected her to sell me stuff anyway ...)

[Edit] I found the ignore function. My doctors appointment is in an hour and a half. I'll let them know what's going on with me and hope they don't do the colpo. But at the same time I want them to get it done and over with ASAP. What if I have some kind of cancer or precancer that's causing all of this?

I knew antibotics caused them, but I didn't know that steroids did as well. I'm no weight lifter trying to acquire more muscle mass, I was on steriods for asthma for years. Recently my doctor put me back on them.... I will not be using them any longer.
We need some kind of combo med pack that can work together killing the bacteria and yeast at same time.

Morphia..I have the piss your pants thing too. Have since I was younger. You know what else is odd, and my friends laugh because they don't believe me...but I have to put in a new tampon whenever I pee because it gets urine on it if I don't..And it doesn't matter of how high or low I insert it. My anatomy is not correct.

Nope...it only gets worse. It doesn't get better. Guess what happened to me today?! I PISSED MYSELF! Hahaha. Whatever is going on with me is affecting my entire genitourinary tract and I don't see an end to it! I've had what they call "giggle incontinence" my entire life. You make me laugh too hard and its Niagara Falls. Usually you have to make me laugh pretty damn hard for it to happen. But today, I laughed hard for about 2 seconds and the stuff just came out in one quick spurt. Luckily I had an extra pair of pants in my car. Unfortunately I had no underwear. So I went to the Tool concert (My FAVORITE band by the way. They are god.) tonight without underwear. I did some sweating "down stairs" and now my ass crack is sore! I took a shower and washed it off and its still sore! And there is also an odor there too that didn't go away with washing. So now I think I might have a yeast infection in my ass crack! (My doc and I are pretty sure I've had one before.) I also think I have a bv/yeast coinfection too because the burning only continues to worsen. Especially since I've pretty much stopped my diet and started smoking again. So now my vag burns and smells, my pelvis feels like there is a balloon in it, I'm as incontinent as a damn 80 year old and my ass crack feels like somebody sand papered it! HAHAHAHAHA! This is fucking HILARIOUS! My luck is shit. I can't wait till tomorrow when my old school doctor laughs in my face for all the questions and suggestions I'm going to have. He's probably just going to think I'm one of those internet head cases that gets paranoid from "reading too much." The second the words "Mycoplasma" and "Ureaplasma" pass my lips he'll probably start tuning me out from then on. I'm so angry right now. That Tool concert was a spiritual experience for me but I could not immerse myself completely into its glory because of that wretched sweat and BURN! I HATE THIS SHIT!
And how the holy hell am I supposed to get a colpo with these infections going on? Isn't it dangerous to do a biopsy with the shit I've got brewing down there?

Morphia, make sure that you tell your doctor to check for that bacteria common with strep...or any other bacterial infection that you have had. Like I had mentioned earlier that I had a bacterial pink eye infection...I'm gonna look and see what bacteria are common with that infection, as well as strep, and ear infections, sinus infections, respiratory infections... I was very sick as a kid..suffered from those infections often, and spent much of my childhood in the hospital. Different antibotics treat different bacterias.. Who knows.... Doctors are lazy....
I don't give a shit if they think I'm nuts...but I am the fucking customer, and I'm paying so they better do as I ask or I will just go somewhere else. Like I said it won't hurt to know. Noone knows enough about this shit anyways.
Do you think bacteria can crossbreed...?

I know how you all are feeling, I'm more rotten smelling then a fish boat right now. I know it's proly not a good idea to wear tampons on account of that you stink..but i do.
I'm wanting to read more about body temperatures when I get time, just becasue i know your body temperatures change throughout a womens monthly cycle, and you can even tell when your fertile by monitoring your temperature. (I think it rises?) not sure. I'm just curious what effects temperature has on maintaining your body ph balance, or none at all... Does acid become more acidic when heated...or does base become more alkaline.
I'm sure as fuck its not gonna solve the chronic bv mystery but I'm curious.

I know for sure that the smell is still there. People make it extremly apparent when they're near me. Even though it bothers me that they talk shit when i'm around them, I really don't care anymore. I KNOW that I DO take a shower every morning and may be even more clean than they are! Shit, I take a shower twice a day or more.
I got b.v. when I got pregnant. I remeber, that at the time I had yeast, Trying to rid myself of disharge, I douched daily with plain water. I think the bacteria multiplied faster with the water . Which, in turn gave me the worst case of BV anyone could ever have! My vagina smelled like SHIT or a really nasty FART!

I said that I was gonna take a bv vacation today, but I lied. Thoughts race through my mind all day..and I can't stop it. I'm really interested in hearing womens results of the bacterias that are found in thier cultures that will be done. Some virgin girls that had reoccurring vaginosis, it was discovered that it was an infection that had spread from an upper respriratory infection from her ears that was never noticed or treated, the bacteria ended up down there somehow. Maybe a few of us could discover that it is from a simple strep throat bacteria that we never had treated. I'm really hoping that will help some of us. My son came home with strep throat 3 times this year, he is always drinking after me, and for a few days my throat would get very sore...but then go away on its on..wishful thinking I know but it couldn't hurt to check.....
This is very interesting. I had chronic strep throat when I was younger. To the point that I had to have my tonsils removed. But that doesn't keep you from getting it again. You can still get it, you just don't know what it is since you don't have tonsils to get all swollen, purple and puss ridden. Its very possible this could be the case for me. I will let you know how EVERYTHING goes after tomorrow. I wanted to take a bv vacation today too but I can't. My symptoms are only getting worse, or at least changing. My discharge is a light yellow now and my burning gets worse with heat. This is going to be a WONDERFUL summer.

That's the part about BV that I hate the most, the wondering if other people can smell it, and if they can, it's the wondering if they know it's emanating from your girly bits.
Unfortunately I know that others can smell it, and that they know exactly what it is. Because, I smelled it in another woman who was walking through a corridor and I was sitting in a student lounge. But, obviously, having had experience with it too, I just felt bad for her. Gah. It sucks.
I've been really, really lucky with the boric acid. I just use it after sex and right after my period and I'm odor free. I hope (knock on wood) that I continue to be lucky with it. I do tend to develop a bit of an odor right before my period, but I don't bother with the boric acid until after.
I hope you who are having more stubborn problems find something that works.
Hello, Treehugger
The smell of bv consumes me at all times as far as wondering if someone smells it. I am also using the boric acid( I am using the yeast arrest that contains boric acid) and it has been working for me too. But I know that it may or may not stop working for me so I am making sure that I have an arsenal of products that I can turn to that is why I really love this board and all the information everyone provides..
I will be around......

No, James Cameron has not picked up the rights to the December 25 New York Times article Deepwater Horizon's Final Hour, although he might turn up as a character in the final movie that Summit Entertainment and Participant Media are developing about the BP Oil disaster (with backing from Imagenation Abu Dhabi). And Summit confirms that it has finally closed a new $750 million deal, for a $550-million term loan plus a $200-million revolving line of credit, led by banks JP Morgan and UBS AG.
Screenwriter Matthew Sand will adapt the Deepwater Horizon disaster story, written by the NYT's David Barstow, David Rohde, and Stephanie Saul, about the heroes of the oil rig tragedy that sent millions of gallons of oil spilling into the Gulf of Mexico on April 20, 2010. Summit is in talks with producer Lorenzo Di Bonaventura (Red, Salt, Transformers), who could handle a picture of this scale and scope.
Summit production president Erik Feig stated:
"This film will portray the great heroism that took place last year on the Deepwater Horizon rig and how colleagues so courageously came to each other's aide. This piece in The New York Times evoked the raw emotion these brave men experienced and endured throughout the tragedy that took place in April of last year and we hope to evoke the same emotions for our audience with this movie."
Anne Thompson | March 10, 2011 2:47 AM
Summit closed a long-in-the-works $750 million loan and credit deal, AND, they also acquired, for your normal six-figure sum, a NYT article to develop into a screenplay for a movie that may or may not ever get made. If it's a big budget movie it'll cost between, say, $60 and $120 million.
Jason Rey | March 10, 2011 2:15 AM
To add to what I wrote above, the Harry Potter series (or, at least the first four) cost $2 million. Two million dollars for one of the biggest franchises to date. I just don't see how this could be that much. Or how they plan on getting that much back, when they haven't yet spent a dime on cast, script, special effects, marketing, etc. ...Weird.
Jason Rey | March 10, 2011 2:06 AM
Am I crazy or is that a LOT of money to spend on just the script? Wait..not EVEN the script. A lot of money paid for adaptation rights. Is it the most money paid for that sort of thing? $750,000,000 is more than the budget of most films.

HELENA, Mont. (AP) — In a story Oct. 10 about Montana approving rules for motorists to salvage roadkill for consumption, The Associated Press, relying on the comments of a Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks official, reported erroneously that a smartphone application will be developed for drivers to apply for roadkill salvage permits using their smartphones. The online permits will only available through the state agency's website, and a separate smartphone app is not planned.
A corrected version of the story is below:
Roadkill permits? You can go online for that
New roadkill salvage permits in Montana will come with their own online application
By MATT VOLZ
Associated Press
HELENA, Mont. (AP) — Salvaging roadkill for the dinner table is not only legal starting this month in Montana, but state officials plan to let drivers who accidentally kill big game to simply print out permits at home that allow them to harvest the meat.
The Montana Fish and Wildlife Commission approved regulations Thursday that allow people to go online for permits to salvage for food the animals they hit and kill within 24 hours of the fender-bender.
No need to present the carcass to a law-enforcement official in person within a day of a crash, as was originally planned. Now drivers will be able to apply on a website and print out permits from their own computers.
"With all the advances in technology, why not allow people to do that," said Ron Aasheim, spokesman for the Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks agency.
Montana lawmakers earlier this year passed the bill allowing motorists to salvage deer, elk, moose and antelope struck by vehicles. Supporters who didn't want to see the meat go to waste won out over skeptics who wondered whether the meat would be safe for human consumption.
Other doubters stewed over whether drivers would intentionally gun their engines whenever they spotted an animal in the road.
The Legislature left it to the state agency to sort out the details and how to issue roadkill permits. FWP released its proposed rules this summer, among them: the salvaged meat has to be eaten, not used for bait. Also, the whole carcass has to be taken, not just the choice bits with the rest left on the roadway for scavengers.

Chelsea Thomas earned a spot on the NFCA All-Southeast Region first team
May 16, 2013
COLUMBIA, Mo. - Four Mizzou softball players were recognized to the 2013 National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) Division I All-Southeast Region Teams, as announced Thursday by the organization. Senior pitcher Chelsea Thomas (Pleasantville, Iowa) became a three-time first-team selection after twice earning First Team All-Midwest recognition (2011, 2012). Senior DP Nicole Hudson (Webb City, Mo.), catcher Jenna Marston (St. Louis, Mo.) and sophomore 1B Kelsea Roth (Yorba Linda, Calif.) earned Second Team All-Southeast honors.
Thomas has been one of the best pitchers in the nation in her final Mizzou season, pitching to a 22-4 record with a 1.23 ERA that ranks ninth in the country. She was the winningest pitcher in the Southeastern Conference in 2013, claiming 13 league wins. Thomas has recorded 205 strikeouts in 170.1 innings of work this season to rank 33rd nationally with an 8.4 strikeout-per-inning average. Thomas has twice earned NFCA All-America recognition, taking the honors home as a redshirt sophomore in 2011 and as a redshirt junior 2012.
Hudson swung a big bat for Mizzou in her final campaign as a Tiger, hitting a career-high 15 home runs this season. She has batted .323 with a .723 slugging percentage, along with an astute .483 on-base percentage. Hudson's presence at the plate coupled with a good eye allowed her to rank seventh in the nation with a 0.89 walks-per-game average (41 total). She previously earned Second Team All-Midwest last season as a junior, while taking First Team All-Midwest as a sophomore in 2011.
For the second time in her career, Marston picked up second team all-region honors after earning Second Team All-Midwest at shortstop as a freshman in 2010. In her second season as Mizzou's catcher, she has hit .366 at the plate, knocking a team-high 16 doubles and earning 23 walks for second-best on the squad behind Hudson. Marston was hot in SEC action with a .367 batting average that ranked 10th in the league. She has also been reliable behind the plate with a .992 fielding percentage in her final Mizzou season.
Roth earned her first all-region nod with an exceptional showing of power at the plate, tying Hudson for the team-lead with 15 home runs and slugging a team-best .725 that ranks seventh in the SEC in overall games. She recorded a .317 batting average and her 87 total bases were second only to Hudson for the Tigers.
Mizzou starts its postseason action at the Columbia Regional of the 2013 NCAA Division I Softball Championship with Stony Brook on Friday, May 17, at 5:30 p.m. at University Field. The initial game of the regional, Oregon State vs. Hofstra, begins at 3 p.m.
Fans are encouraged to check MUTigers.com and the softball team's social media outlets, @MizzouSoftball and Facebook, for updates and information throughout the season.

Stock os 5 theme with transition effects here! *FREE*
I'm starting a new project where I am going to add transition effects into the stock theme in the Bold 9000 OS 5.
Since it is my first project in the Blackberry Community, I will take quite a long time before I can release my project, but rest assured, I will give interested parties some heads up whenever I can to notify everyone of my 'theme's' progress. I can't really call it a theme, because it is just a stock theme with transition effects. I hope to use this project as experience for my future projects!
22/06/11- Started work on the project and learning how to use the theme studio etc. to create themes.
Completed Vo.1 Beta. Currently a .zip file
V0.1 Now Available! Currently a .zip file
ps: If someone can just help me put it into an OTA file... thanks.

Look behind the numbers. That's the message students are receiving from the Illinois Department of Transportation Engineering Academy
The program shows Rockford Public Schools students possible future career tracks in transportation and civil engineering.
The program encourages problem solving and teamwork by participants as they create simulated cities of the future.
The academy wants students to learn that behind the maps of bridges and roads are human needs for faster and safer urban transportation.
The program also wants to teach students about how engineering gives the satisfaction of making other peoples' lives better.
