|Pls help!
Bought a brand new home 5 years ago and just getting around to painting. Current contractor grade paint is still in a very good condition but like to see some color on the walls.
Got 3 different estimates and am very confused now. So need some expert input pls. HOme is 2 stories, 2 bedroom, 3 baths (2br not being painted) - 3000sqft home. No crown molding or chair molding. 1st floor is pretty open plan with kitchen DR,LR and family room. 1st floor all same color, one br and bath 2nd color and one br and bath 3rd color. SO not very complicated- white celing.
1) $4300 - move furniture (not much and I can do it my selft), fix any craks or nails popping out and calk around windows/door. I buy the paint, he supplies paint for moldings around door/windows. - Seen his work - really nice job done
So, you can see why I am confused, the 3rd estimate is about 1/2 price and trying to figure out why? They painted many homes and take pride in their work. I didn't see anything wrong or worrisome when I spoke with them.
Can you pls help with your expert insight. Sorry for rambling but wanted to give you all the info for your opinions. Anything I didn't chk that I should?
Thanks for any help you can give me.

|Pick #2
Any contractor who lets the home owner buy materials is suspect.
#3 is a red flag, throw that one out
|It's normal for the estimatea for painting to vary that much. Some guys dont really know how much to charge or are paying their guys low wages. Really you got a bid from a guy that wants you to buy caulk? I don't understand either why a painter would let the customer buy paint but must be a new trend. You got 3 bids and none of them want to buy their own paint. I would keep looking.
|I bought the paint for my exterior project - the colors were right, I got the brand(s) I wanted, and the painter didn't have to worry about too much or too little. I can't imagine why this approach would be suspect. I prefer it.
|Well, it's because painters know what they like to use, and usually they like to stick with their favorite brands to avoid surprises that may cost them extra money and/or callbacks. If a painter is saying that he doesn't care which paint gets used, to me that is a pretty huge red flag. Paint matters, and while it's true that we all may have our own opinions about which brands are best, each brand certainly has its cheap, better, best lines and it's those cheap lines that we all want to stay away from.

|yeah, I don't understand that either.
Anyway, today I received another estimate of $2400 and he agreed to use superpaint from Sherwin Williams which is what I bought at 40% off. Since I am doing the whole house needed like 25 gallons of various types (celing,semigloss and eggshell). He said that even with 40% off- I paid too much. Benjamin moore, same paint type at contractor price would have been ~$28/gal vs $38 I paid for.
Do you guys think he is right? I can still return mine and let him buy since I don't know which BM paint would be equivalent to Sherwin williams, I can't tell.

|The painter ( professional) will always get his or her own supplies for the reasons paintguy has given above. I personally never do any job where the home owner supplies the paint, been burned a couple times.
tweety, let the painter do his job,he SHOULD know the answer to your question, if not, keep looking
|If your painter is paying $28 for a gallon of Benjamin Moore, that is likely the Super Spec line, middle grade. The good stuff (Regal and Regal Select) I pay between $38-$44 per gallon for washable. I don't really know how good Superpaint is (pretty sure it's their second best paint behind Duration Home) because I use Cashmere, so someone else will have to answer that part of your question.
|I spec Super Paint a lot. Interior and Exterior. My opinion is it's a great value especially if you hit the sale.
It'd be awesome if everyone could afford Aura, Duration, Emerald tiers of paint for every project. But when you need 25 gallons in one shot, that's a chunk o'money all at once.
Options like Super Paint, Cashmere even Regal are a good fit for budgets w lil wiggle room.

|fun, while I agree with you're post, I also believe that home owners need to get it in their heads that this last step, painting, is going to be what they see from now on and why get cheap now? Is is not that much more $ to get the best product out there
|Absolutely agree with you Chris. Another way to work with a tight budget is to take a sharp pencil to actual paint price. In any brand there are "good, better and best" grades to choose from. It's just a matter of pennies per square foot difference for top tier paint.
I find that clients who are hiring pros will often choose top tier when they understand that it's just not that much more to go with the best grades.
But when there is "x" amount of money for a project, there is only "x" amount. Choosing a better can over a best one can be the difference between being able to paint or not.
Top tiers will also last and last but if someone knows they're only in the home for two, three, four years, again it can make more sense to choose better over best. And then are the serial painters who like to change colors every couple years. . . but that's another story for another day. ;)

Geek Nation Tours Expanding LA2Vegas Tour with "Valley of Fire" Day Trip to Kirk's Death Site May 15, 2014by Kayla Iacovino , Filed under: Conventions/Events/Attractions , comments closed
Geek Nation Tours has been delighting traveling nerds on their Trek-themed tour from Hollywood, through a plethora of Trek filming locations in the California desert, and culminating in Las Vegas just in time for the annual Creation Convention held every August. Larry "Dr. Trek" Nemecek, the noted Star Trek guru, consultant, interviewer, producer and author of the Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion and Star Trek: Stellar Cartography, will be there as always to guide fans through the tour and impart his encyclopedic knowledge of all things Trek (both in front of and behind the scenes). This year, Vegas-bound fans unable to join in on the full tour can get a taste of the adventure by booking a one-day tour to the site of Captain James T. Kirk's heroic death on Veridian III (Star Trek Generations), which is located in the majestic Valley of Fire State Park 55 miles northeast of Las Vegas. The trip is taking bookings now but is selling out fast with only 7 of the 12 seats still up for grabs.
Happy Birthday. Surely, the best of times. March 26, 2014by Brian Drew , Filed under: Celebrity,Nimoy,Shatner,This Week In Trek,TOS,Trek Franchise , comments closed
It is the beginning of spring here in the Western Hemisphere, which means it's time to celebrate the birthdays of Trek royalty.
Today is the 83rd birthday of Spock Prime himself, Leonard Nimoy. Mr. Nimoy, who recently disclosed that he has a smoking-related illness called COPD isn't letting anything slow him down. It was announced recently that he will be hosting two special "space-themed" performances by the Boston Pops in May, featuring music from many science fiction classics, including, of course, Star Trek. More information, including ticket prices, can be found at The Boston Pops website.
Mr. Nimoy took to Twitter to mark the day and to thank everyone for their good wishes:
Living long and prospering. Great family and friends and 100's of honorary grandchildren. Many. Many thanks. LN
— Leonard Nimoy (@TheRealNimoy) March 26, 2014
He also received a message from an old friend of his:
Happy Birthday to my dear friend @TheRealNimoy

Star Trek's heart is in television, says Ron D. Moore February 5, 2014by Matt Wright , Filed under: Trek Franchise,Trek on TV , comments closed
The web site Digital Spy recently caught up with Ron D. Moore to interview him about his new SyFy Channel show Helix, they couldn't help but talk a little Trek with him.
I think its home and its heart is really in television. That's really what Star Trek is – the core concept is really a TV show.
I think the features are good and I really admire what JJ Abrams has done with the last two films – I think it's great – but the heart and soul of that franchise demands a return to television.
The kinds of stories that you'll tell in the features space are not the kinds of stories that made that show so popular. The features all have to be action-oriented.
The TV shows were morality plays, they were more thematic, they were examining society in different ways. Sometimes the stakes were just one crew member's life, sometimes the stakes were just one alien world or the Enterprise.
On bringing Trek back to TV:
The TV show is really what Star Trek is to me. I think the features are great, but I think it has to return to TV if it's going to remain an ongoing franchise.
On being the one to re-launch Trek on TV:
I'd love to do Star Trek again, in all honesty, but I also don't have a great new Star Trek idea. I'm not saying I know exactly how to do a new [Star Trek] TV show – I don't. Maybe I shouldn't do it until I have that great epiphany!

Trek connections in Super Bowl ads February 3, 2014by Matt Wright , Filed under: Trek Franchise,Viral Video/Mashup/Images , comments closed
While we don't have much new on the Star Trek front as far as new movies or TV series, Trek stars and alumni were represented in this year's Super Bowl commercials.
The most obviously Trek influenced commercial was the Comcast XFINITY commercial titled "Bold Explorers." It highlights Comcast's upcoming next generation X1 platform technologies. Zachary Quinto as Spock and Anton Yelchin as Chekov beam in to see all the advanced tech details.
The other Trek connected commercial was the teaser for the re-launch of Carl Sagan's beloved edutainment series Cosmos on Fox. Trek alumni Brannon Braga along with Seth MacFarlane are producers, with astrophysicist, and pretty cool guy who makes science fun and interesting, Neil deGrasse Tyson as host.
Were there more Trek connections in the Super Bowl adverts? If so let us know in the comments.

EDITORIAL: You Just Can't Bring Star Trek Back To The Small Screen (But How You Would If You Could) September 19, 2013by Jared Whitley , Filed under: Editorial,Trek Franchise,Trek on TV , comments closed
In The Icarus Factor, Riker is offered his own ship and we meet his father for the first (and only) time. But the episode is better remembered for the subplot, where Worf is in a particularly grouchy mood. He yells "Enough!" at Wesley and "Be gone!" to Data, who – with his trademark gentleness – describes the Klingon as "out of sorts." Worf's friends determine that the only solution to his foul spirits is to hit him repeatedly with pain sticks:
I have been reminded of this episode as I've followed the recent furor over Star Trek Into Darkness. Just as Worf wasn't really mad at his crewmates, I believe that much of the anger toward STID has nothing to do with the film: fans are angry because they have to wait four years to see a new movie when what they really want is new episodes every week.
Las Vegas Convention Panel: Star Trek and the Military September 18, 2013by Nancy Garrett , Filed under: Conventions/Events/Attractions,Fandom,Trek Franchise , comments closed
Imagine this scenario: A massive ship rests in its dock as the crew prepares for departure. Orders are given and acknowledged. A course is laid. Whistles echo through the decks. Dock lines fall to the side, and the ship clears the last mooring. What happens next? Is this a warship cutting through ocean waves headed for the Mediterranean? Or is this a starship disappearing in a warp speed flash of light headed for strange new worlds? Their missions may be entirely different but similarities between today's military and Star Trek's Starfleet remain evident. On the program of Creation Entertainment's Star Trek Convention Las Vegas last month, a panel of veterans presented and discussed military aspects of Star Trek and similarities between Starfleet and the armed forces.

Joseph Dickerson's "Star Trek is Broken" editorial has caused quite a stir among the Trek community. One person who had a response to this was TrekBBS member "The Stig", his clear, concise, and level-headed post got a lot of kudos.

It was on September 8th 1966 that Star Trek debuted on NBC in the U.S.A.
The episode chosen to be broadcast first was actually the fifth produced – "The Man Trap".
Also, as commenters have pointed out, happy 40th anniversary to Star Trek: The Animated Series, serendipitously, it too debuted on September 8th in 1973

It took two separate panels to accommodate the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine 20th Anniversary Reunion at Creation Entertainment's Las Vegas convention August 11. Creation assembled a nearly complete cast of 16 DS9 main cast members for the commemorative event. And in between panels, when writer-producer Ira Steven Behr walked on stage with the cast, the scene brought hundreds of camera flashes in Rio Resort and Casino's main theater. You don't have to be a die-hard DS9 fan to appreciate these increasingly rare convention reunion moments. Fans, actors — even sideline observers can't help but get a little choked up. Who knows when, where or if an ensemble like this will be on the same stage together again?

TrekMovie Guide to Star Trek Las Vegas Con 2013: Tips and Tricks for the Best Con Experience July 31, 2013by Nancy Garrett , Filed under: Conventions/Events/Attractions , comments closed
Star Trek Las Vegas is coming up fast! Do you remember your first Star Trek Convention? If you were like me (a convention newbie in 2011), for your first convention you wanted just three things: to see everything, do everything and know everything. In an attempt to be the most prepared as possible for my first convention, I searched the Internet for any advice or tips I could find for Trek convention-goers. Some of you may remember asking the same questions: Do I need to wear a Starfleet uniform? Do I need to dress up as a Klingon? Do I need to learn the Klingon language? Do I need to eat gagh, drink blood wine and participate in mating rituals? (Okay, maybe not the last one.) Well, this blog post is NOT an attempt to answer those questions, but I can offer a few tips to those who are new to the convention. And these tips may be useful to those of you who are 'con veterans' but are new to next week's event, which runs August 8-11.

Rihanna - Rihanna couldn't bury her love for Chris Brown
Rihanna admitted she couldn't stop herself from falling for Chris Brown again even after his conviction for assaulting her in 2009 and claimed she had to be ''real'' with how she felt.
Rihanna couldn't bury her feelings for Chris Brown.
The couple have reconciled after a break-up following the rapper's conviction for assaulting her in 2009 - which he is still on probation for - and the 'Stay' hitmaker revealed she left Chris with no intention of falling in love again.
She told The Observer Magazine: ''I wanted him to know what it felt like to lose me, to feel the consequences of that. So when that s**t [love] came back, it hit me like a ton of bricks.
''Like, God, you've got to be kidding me right now. But I got real with myself, and I just couldn't bury the way I felt.''
The 25-year-old singer insisted her on/off boyfriend isn't the ''monster'' he's made out to be and she believes he has changed.
She added: ''There's so many reasons why I ever reconsidered having him back in my life. He's not the monster everybody thinks. He's a good person ... Of course everybody has their opinion about him, because of what he's done.
''That will always be there, but he made a mistake and he's paid his dues. He's paid so much. And I know that's not a place he would ever want to go back to.
''And sometimes people need support and encouragement, instead of ridicule and criticism and bashing.''

Al Assad is becoming a liability to Iran
Tehran's gamble for greater regional influence is doomed to fail as most Syrians do not understand the realpolitik behind its blind support for a tyrannical regime
- Image Credit: Ramachandra Babu/©Gulf News
Syrian Prime Minister Wael Al Halaqi's visit to Tehran on Tuesday is a further demonstration of how reliant the Syrian regime has become on Iranian support. The Syrian premier, who was accompanied by ministers of oil, energy and finance, seemed to have been seeking increased Iranian aid to his government, which has been shaken by two years of social and political unrest.
Iran is the Syrian regime's sole regional ally and has been supporting its bloody crackdown against the protest movement since its inception. For many, the Syrian-Iranian relationship is increasingly taking a sectarian character, something Iran has strongly resisted at the beginning of the Arab revolutions.
In fact, from the start of what has now become widely known as the Arab Spring, Iran tried to assume intellectual and geopolitical leadership of the unrest in the Arab world. Iran was well aware that it was in competition with Turkey over leadership of the Middle East and that Ankara was in a far better position — economically, diplomatically and religiously as a Sunni power — to assume that role.
This has not deterred Tehran from trying to position itself as the champion of the Arab masses that have risen in opposition to autocratic regimes. The sheer number of Iranian officials who are fluent in Arabic highlights the efforts of Tehran to overcome the ethno-linguistic geopolitical constraints it faces as a Persian Shiite country trying to operate in a region where most Muslim countries are Sunni.
While its anti-US and anti-Israeli position has allowed Iran to circumvent the ethnic factor and attract support in the Arab and Muslim worlds, its Shiite sectarian character has allowed competitors in the region — mainly Turkey — to restrict its regional influence.
Furthermore, while Iranian officials have from the start been praising Arab revival and stressing the need to support the Arab masses in their struggle against autocracy, one unmistakable tension was clear. The revolution in Syria has proven embarrassing for Iran. The Iranian regime is having a hard time trying to reconcile its support for the Arab unrest on one hand and supporting the Syrian regime against its opposition on the other.
In fact, Iran tried to present itself as a balanced party in the Syrian crisis, but failed to act likewise. On several occasions, senior Iranian officials have called upon Syrian President Bashar Al Assad to stop violence against peaceful protesters and undertake genuine reforms instead. But these remained mere words. They never represented a major shift in Iran's original position on the Syrian crisis.
Iran's failure to retrain its ally and force him to change his approach to the crisis has shown that it is more occupied with regional politics rather than building credibility amongst Arabs. From an Iranian perspective, relations with Syria are extremely important to further its regional ambitions. Syria is viewed by Tehran as a primary partner in the Arab-Israeli conflict, offering Iran a symbolic political role in the central cause of the region.
The occupation of Iraq increased Syria's importance to Tehran, giving it vital access to most of the region's problems. Through Syria, Iran could use most of its regional cards as a bargaining chip concerning its nuclear programme and threats by the US military. For all these reasons, Iran has failed to adopt a consistent approach in dealing with the Arab revolutions.
Realpolitik, the regional balance of power, threat perceptions, and above all, the fear of seeing a Sunni regime in Damascus has prevented Iran from considering other political alternatives in dealing with the Syrian crisis. This was particularly obvious at a time when Iran believed that it had come so close to realising its dream — transforming itself into a regional hegemon.
When the Syrian crisis began, Iran was preparing for its long-awaited moment; the US was evacuating troops from Iraq and retreating from the region under the pressure of the economic crisis, leaving Iran to fill the political vacuum. Losing Syria at that particular juncture would have had a disastrous impact on Iran's grand regional design. Iran did not hence surprise many when it decided to stick with its ally in Damascus.
At some point in the future Iran will discover that it has made the wrong choice. Sooner or later the Syrian regime will disappear from the scene and Iran will be left without a friend in the new Syria.
Most Syrians do not understand Iran's regional motives for supporting their oppressor. All they know now is that Iran is acting in a sectarian manner and is supporting a tyrant. Given the level of violence inflicted against them, Syrians might forgive, but will not forget.

Using Market Signals to Get an Overbought ETF at a Better Price
ETF Expert) -- The more investors get discouraged by
For example, one month earlier, iShares Investment Grade Corporate Bond (LQD) had a trailing 12-month yield of 4.1%. After a month-long surge in buying activity, however, LQD is yielding closer to 3.9%.
Granted, 3.9% may still be an attractive yield to income enthusiasts. Nevertheless, when an ETF goes on a vertical trek that puts it into overbought territory by several measures (e.g., RSI above 70, deviation above a key trendline, etc.), the asset is likely to cool off.
Let the air deflate from LQD's balloon a bit before acquiring additional shares. A period of flattening out or depreciation of 2% to 2.5% would do the trick.Yield-hungry investors have been equally cavalier about pursuing preferred stock shares. Unlike common stock, preferreds pay fixed dividends that will not fluctuate. They are the "hybrid cars" in the investment world -- paying a fixed rate of return like a bond instrument and having capital appreciation potential like common stock. The big problem with preferreds? Roughly three-quarters of them are issued by the financial sector. It follows that concerns about the global financial system have made this asset class far more volatile than in years prior to 2008. The chart below shows just how quickly investors abandoned iShares S&P U.S. Preferred (PFF) in May-June, and how enamored others became in the dividend days of June-July. Here, I have two suggestions for the yield-famished. You might choose to wait for an inevitable "risk-off" period where concerns about European countries or European banks cause profit-taking in PFF. Or you might consider the newly launched Market Vectors Preferred Excluding Financials Portfolio (PFXF). The latter may take some of the volatility sting out of preferred share investing, but may also present a less attractive annual yield. Finally, we have one of the most successful asset classes in 2012: mortgage REITs. These companies borrow money at ultra-low short-term rates, then invest in mortgage-backed securities. They profit from the spread between their borrowing rate and the mortgage-backed security rate. As long as the spread remains favorable, "mREITs" tend to do well.

Alice Munro's peerless ability to give us the essence of a life in often brief but always spacious and timeless stories is once again everywhere apparent in this brilliant new collection. In story after story, she illumines the moment a life is forever altered by a chance encounter or an action not taken, or by a simple twist of fate that turns a person out of his or her accustomed path and into a new way of being or thinking. A poet, finding herself in alien territory at her first literary party, is rescued by a seasoned newspaper columnist, and is soon hurtling across the continent, young child in tow, toward a hoped-for but completely unplanned meeting. A young soldier, returning to his fiancée from the Second World War, steps off the train before his stop and onto the farm of another woman, beginning a life on the move. A wealthy young woman having an affair with the married lawyer hired by her father to handle his estate comes up with a surprising way to deal with the blackmailer who finds them out. While most of these stories take place in Munro's home territory—the small Canadian towns around Lake Huron—the characters sometimes venture to the cities, and the audiobook ends with four pieces set in the area where she grew up, and in the time of her own childhood: stories "autobiographical in feeling, though not, sometimes, entirely so in fact." A girl who can't sleep imagines night after wakeful night that she kills her beloved younger sister. A mother snatches up her child and runs for dear life when a crazy woman comes into her yard. Suffused with Munro's clarity of vision and her unparalleled gift for storytelling, these tales about departures and beginnings, accidents and dangers, and outgoings and homecomings both imagined and real, paint a radiant, indelible portrait of how strange, perilous, and extraordinary ordinary life can be. Amazon.com ReviewAmazon Best Books of the Month, November 2012: You half expect a new collection of stories by the beloved Alice Munro to arrive already devoured: pages dog-eared ("I feel exactly the same way! How did she know?"), spine cracked, cover bent from the dozens of times each story deserves to be read. The best thing to say about Alice Munro is said so often, it doesn't mean much anymore. But here it is for the record: She is a master of her craft. In Dear Life, her 13th collection, Munro again breathes life--real, blemished, nuanced life--into her characters and settings (usually her hometown in Huron County, Ontario). Her empathy is the greatest weapon in her arsenal, and it is on full display here. But the most satisfying part of the new collection is the last four stories, bundled together in what the author calls "Finale," the closest she'll ever come to writing about her own dear life. --Alexandra Foster CERTAIN CONTENT THAT APPEARS ON THIS SITE COMES FROM AMAZON SERVICES LLC.

Ghost Story Book Comes To Life Using 3D Augmented Reality App
Next month, Goosebottom Books is releasing a book about famous historical ghost stories called Horrible Hauntings retelling the hauntings of Bloody Mary and the Princess in the Tower just in time for Halloween. But unlike other versions of these classic legends, the new release written by Goosebottom's founder Shirin Bridges and illustrated by William Maughan, uses augmented reality to make the ghosts come to life in 3-D.
The 3-D experience is triggered by a companion app. By pointing a phone or tablet at the book, the Headless Horseman, the Flying Dutchman and the ghost of Abraham Lincoln, among others, will appear on the pages of the print book. Read more

Update: The current offer for the United Explorer card is 30,000 miles with $1,000 spend within 3 months or 50,000 miles with $2,000 spend in 3 months when you sign up in a Chase branch.
Numerous TPG readers have emailed me over the last couple months with their emailed offers of 60,000 miles for the United Explorer card. The offer, which gives 50,000 miles after first use and 10,000 after you spend $25,000 within a calendar year, is a pretty good deal, but unfortunately it's targeted to select United MileagePlus elite members so I haven't written about it. I even wrote in my future credit card strategy post that I look forward to applying for this offer once it's made public.
However, it was reported on Flyertalk that if your United account has a positive balance and if you click this link, you can get the 60,000 offer to populate. I decided to try it out, so I transferred 2,000 miles from my Continental account to my United using this site (FYI weirdly I got an error when trying to transfer using this method, but when I logged into my United account the Continental transfer had indeed gone through. Not sure what the issue is, but beware). You can also transfer Ultimate Rewards points to your United account since United is a new transfer partner. If you don't have a United MileagePlus account, you can get one here.
As with all things miles and points, your experience may vary and this method may actually work. Everything is a risk, so just make sure you evaluate whether it makes sense. For me, it's just not worth the risk, especially since there are so many other juicy Chase offers right now (50,000 points for Southwest (Update: This offer is no longer available. View the current offer for the Chase Southwest Rapid Rewards credit card here), 2 Free Hyatt Nights, 40,000 for Sapphire Preferred, 50,000 for Ink Bold) that I don't mind holding off until this offer is a sure deal.

The NIDA International Program supported the participation of scientists from Argentina, Peru, and South Africa at the 2nd International HIV Treatment as Prevention Workshop, which was held April 22–25, 2012, in Vancouver, Canada. The meeting was organized by Julio S.G. Montaner, M.D., University of British Columbia, and featured a keynote address by U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator Ambassador Eric Goosby about the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) perspective on treatment as prevention. NIDA Director Nora Volkow, M.D., spoke at an opening plenary session roundtable discussion that also featured representatives from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS, World Health Organization, and the French Agence Nationale de Recherche sur le Sida.
The NIDA International Program supported Stephen D. Lawn, M.D., South Africa, Maria Eugenia Socias, M.D., Argentina, and Carlos F. Caceres, M.D., Ph.D., Peru, who joined academic, policy, industry, and community representatives at the meeting. Participants reviewed emerging data and identified priority areas for research and action related to the impact of combination antiretroviral therapy (ART) use among HIV-infected individuals on the transmission of HIV infection. Dr. Lawn, who works at the Desmond Tutu HIV Centre at the University of Cape Town, discussed the impact of ART on tuberculosis control during an oral presentation session on that topic. Dr. Socias, who works at the infectious diseases unit of the Hospital Juan A. Fernández in Buenos Aires, discussed a pilot study investigating provider‐initiated HIV testing on hospital admission during an oral presentation session on initial results of Small Business Technology Transfer outcomes.

Allergic Reaction
A food allergy results in the bodies immune system attacking an item of food that it mistakes for an invader. Symptoms vary from person to person, but often result in tingling around the lips and on the tongue, swelling in the mouth and nose, trouble breathing and nausea. In severe cases this can lead to anaphylaxis, where the bodies pulse rate increases, breathing becomes more difficult and nausea and diarrhoea can be accompanied by unconsciousness. The most common allergens are peanuts, shell fish and celery but any food can result in an allergy. These allergies are linked closely with chronic conditions such as asthma, eczema and hay fever. The allergen can often be discovered using a skin prick test at your local GP surgery, introducing a small amount of the allergen to the body. Though food allergies are not curable, eliminating the food from ones diet should prevent symptoms from developing and an adrenaline injector pen can be carried for use in emergencies.
If you would like to find out more about allergies that affect kids, read our food intolerance and allergy guides especially for parents.

Hi I'm after some help please, I had my son at the age of 17 and was never allergic to anything till my son was born and then I became allergic to water, fruit and vegetables. When ever I go for a shower bath etc.. my body comes out in hives and there big and really really itchy and it feels like it's burning my skin. I've been on so man different antihistamines and steroids,uv lighting etc.. I need help as I've had my 2nd son and seems to have gotten worse. Thanks for reading.
I am writing to you in regards to my 19 year old daughter Jessica who suffers from allergies and asthma. During her early age she was allergy tested and treated, however the allergy reactions she has now are more severe and to deferent things what we are not aware of. Furthermore her last allergic reaction was yesterday at work and it was so bad that ambulance was called and later she was taken to hospital. The symptoms she had: swollen eyes, swollen and numb fingers, swollen tongue, breathing problems and very fast heartbeat. I am not a doctor but I have a suspicion that it might be reaction to something chemical such as shampoo. The reason why I am suspecting this is: recently straight after shower she has puffy itchy, watery eyes. Yesterday before the shower she took claratine tablet and all was fine until 4 hours later. In relation to that, about 2 years ago she was hospitalised after a Spa treatment….. We were always aware of her allergies to dust, grass, pollen, cuts, dogs, horses, duck furthers but not food or chemicals.She also suffers from heat rash. I would be very grateful if you could direct me to a clinic in London to check the specification of her allergies and what would be the cost? Kind regards Monika

Hi, last December I had my upper lip threaded for the first time. It immediately made my lip swell up and for the past 7 months it has never gone down. I also broke out with folliculitis which i have been on medication for for a while and it eventually went away. But my lip remains swollen. It hurts as it sometimes feels hot and tingles and sometimes it's more puffy than other times. I have had blood tests where everything is normal. I have had antihistamines which had no effect so is not an allergic reaction to anything. I couldn't still be reacting to something I came into contact with over 7 months ago. I have even tried changing washing powder etc to no avail. I have undergone more blood tests when I was referred but so far I have come no closer to finding out what is wrong with me. My life over the past 7 months has been absolute hell. The problem is i am desperate to remove the hair from my lip. It is ruining my confidence and makes me want to hide at home. I would like to do laser hair removal but would like to know it is safe with my lip being the way it is. The thing is I am coming no closer to finding out what it wrong with me so i don't know if I dare risk it. The waiting the lists to find out what is wrong with me are ridiculously long and it would be months before I see anyone. In the meantime I am really struggling to cope with this.I am tempted to go ahead with the laser hair removal as I am desperate to get my life back. If this isn't possible I have a problem as I don't even know if my lip could take waxing or threading again with the way it is. At the moment plucking loads of hairs is making it worse as a lot of them break making them coarser and it is changing the direction of the hairs. If anyone can offer any advice that would be greatly appreciated. I am desperate here. Thanks
ive recently (about 6 days ago) come out in a rash, its like tiny white bumps all over my face everywhere. it feels terrible to touch and I don't know what could have casued it. ive looked at allergic reaction images, but non compare to my rash as the rash is so small but spreading all over my face. it has now reached my arm in the crease where I bend it. and is all over my face & neck. its very itchy. I was wondering if you could please help me
I was wondering if you have any help or advice. Myself, my mother and two of my children have sever food allergies, my mother and son are that bad that they suffer from anaphylaxis and have to carry epi-pens, my son also takes 50mg of Ucerax a day. The main ones that we are certain of are all kinds of fruit and fruit sugars. My mother and son are also allergic to other things but we are unsure of what these are. Both my mother and son have seen a specialist without much success as blood tests have provided no answers. They have also told us that it is not hereditary, but I am finding this very hard to believe as it is affecting 3 generations of the same family. I am just wondering if there is anymore test we can have done?? Many thanks
Can you please help !! . I have had seven allergic reactions that have gone into full blown anaphalactic shock, These are from things like moisturizer, nail varnish remover coatings on tablets and sun screen even a hypo allergenic one . I have seen an allergy consultant but she said as it was chemicals i was allergic to, there was no way of testing for which ones. Can you offer me any help/advice please?? One of reactions was so severe i nearly had to have emergency surgery. I am finding it really difficult with so many products containing a wide variety of chemicals . HELP !!!
I have been diagnosed with dermographism but I have problems with solvents and adhesives. I feel faint, sick, my heart rate races and my sinuses block up. My last attack happened when I was near the chemical for only a few minutes I had to go home and rest but it felt like I had the flu and took nearly 3 days to recover. Is this classified as an allergic reaction. I already take antihistamines, what else can I do.
I was diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia 15 years ago. It is getting worse , I also had sinus surgery 2 years ago but I now think diagnosis is wrong as since cutting out dairy and wheat/carbs I have been feeling better . If I eat bread , potatoes , pasta or dairy my nose starts dripping and sinuses play up , I get migraine and the usual aches and pains , the fatigue is unbelievable and I have balance problems and brain fog I have told GP this on numerous occasions . Celiac test came back clear but he wont test me for food allergies. I am at my wits end feeling like this and just want a normal life back ...
Hi I am in a similar situation and also have chronic fatigue (had a mitochondrial profile done and have dysfunctional mitochondria, producing low amounts of ATP ). I too felt slightly better when I cut out starchy, carby foods. However in my case this was due to also having a Candida overgrowth (natural occurring yeast in your stomach), so it might be worth your while getting tested for this. (simple blood test) The candida produces rhizoids (long root like structures) which can create microscopic holes in your intestinal tract, therefore allowing undigested food straight into your bloodstream. Also the Candida feed on starchy foods. This may be an explanation of why you are having difficulty with certain types of food.Its symptoms include severe fatigue, brain fog, difficulty concentrating and can include problems with synases. In my case also I had intolerances to wheat and dairy. Best of luck getting to the bottom of this and hope you feel better soon!

Blackburn boss Michael Appleton expects another blood and thunder match with Millwall
Michael Appleton expects his Blackburn side will have to come through another bruising encounter if they are to book a place in the semi-finals of the FA Cup.
Rovers host npower Championship counterparts Millwall in a sixth-round replay tomorrow night after the sides pulverised each other to a goalless standstill at The Den on Sunday - where Appleton bemoaned "cheap shots" taken by the opposition at his post-match press conference.
The game failed to provide an arresting spectacle for the live television audience and Appleton predicts further heavy weather against Kenny Jackett's men before his players are allowed to implement a passing style that was conspicuous by its absence two days ago.
"The first 20 minutes or so will probably be very similar," he said. "Both teams probably earning the right to play.
"Once we get that out of the way we can make sure that we compose ourselves.
"Hopefully some of the players and footballers we've got in the team can do that."
The Lions' faithful created a fearful din at the weekend as their team came closest to securing victory at the first time of asking.
Blackburn have endured half-empty stands this season as ill-feeling persists among the supporter base over a succession of on and off-field embarrassments witnessed under the Venky's regime.
But with Wembley 90 minutes away and a derby against bitter local rivals Burnley up next in the league, Appleton has called for the kind of vocal backing that could spur his players on.
"We've got to be mindful of the fact that, before I came to the football club, Millwall came here and turned us over 2-0," he said.
"So we'll give them the respect that they deserve but, ultimately, it will be about what we do on the night.
"With us being the home team the onus is on us to get at Millwall and I think the biggest thing, which I hope will be the case on the night, is that we create the atmosphere that Millwall created down at their place.
"If the fans can turn up and make it a memorable night for everyone and cheer every corner, every free-kick, every, throw-in and every tackle then I'm sure it will give the players the edge we might need."
Wigan will face the winners while Manchester City await fellow Barclays Premier League heavyweights Manchester United or Chelsea in the other semi-final, although Appleton feels the prospect of a comparatively easier route to the final is of little relevance.
"I don't think it has any bearing," he said. "If the players want to use that as a motivation, then fantastic.
"From my point of view there's enough motivation just to play at Wembley in the semi-final of an FA Cup, regardless of who it's against."
Scott Dann will lead Rovers out at Ewood for the first time since being confirmed as Danny Murphy's successor as captain.
The former England international has struggled for top form throughout his first season in the unforgiving climate of the Championship, and his manager states such failings are not uncommon.
"There's a lot of players who've played a lot of Premier League football who have found the division difficult because it just shows no respect to anyone," Appleton added.
"It's a difficult league, it's 100 miles per hour, you don't get time to play. You have to adapt to the league rather than the league adapt to you.
"It's not just Danny, there's a lot of players at our club and at other football clubs who've found it difficult."

How the Hornbuckles overcame heroin
By Jon Solomon
Ben Makinen, who's been a professional drummer for close to three decades, says the inspiration for his solo electronic album came from a dream he had in which he was visited by an ancient butterfly that told him a story of love between a gruff Goliath beetle and a beautiful ladybug. In the dream, their families rejected them, so the beetle and the ladybug looked for refuge and acceptance in a distant land. Makinen, who plays all of the instruments here, has translated that dream into an intriguing eleven-track album that delves into ambient and techno while occasionally tossing in Middle Eastern or Latin flavors on cuts like "Beetle and Bug and Cupid's Arrow" and "La Femme Nikita." Since Makinen is a drummer, it's no surprise that a lot of cuts are built around interesting electronic percussion and beats, including the deep groove on "The Goliath Confession."
