Of all the songs on Taylor Swift's new album, 1989 (out October 27), "Out of the Woods" is supposed to be among the rare few that shit-talk — specifically, it shit-talks an ex-boyfriend, who happens to be One Direction heartthrob Harry Styles. This will undoubtedly be the one thing people remember about "Out of the Woods" in those too-common instances when they remember only a single fact about a pop song. But it's not what people should remember about the song, which currently sits at No. 1 on the iTunes chart just 12 hours after its release. (You can hear it here, if you don't want to just pay the damn 99 cents for it.) … Read More
Zola Jesus On Her Pop Dreams: "When You're So Full of Passion, It Can Really Intimidate People"
"I used to think humility was everything," Nika Roza Danilova pleads atop a cryptic electronic beat on "Ego," the high point of her fifth album, Taiga. Meeting the 25-year-old singer-songwriter, who's better known as Zola Jesus, you'd never think she struggles with keeping her hubris in check. Her self-aware vision has surgical precision, and it extends to the way she discusses her art; no rambling allowed. But that doesn't mean she's not affable and relatable, which may surprise some who've taken to heart the "goth" label that's often been tacked on to describe Danilova's experimental pop. … Read More
Secrets of the White Sea: How M83's Morgan Kibby Made Pop's Newest Break-Up Classic
Morgan Kibby, looking like a Manhattan vision of a fourth wife, is trying to eat bacon gracefully. For the most part she's succeeding — her pot of tea, low-cut cape-blouse, statement jewelry, and effortless mane of black hair help with that. But for those familiar with her music, this study in contrasts feels about right. … Read More
How Indie Musicians are Reinventing Film Music
It's Time to Retire the Grammys' "Best Alternative Album" Category
The annals of music history are filled with once-specific genre names that are now functionally meaningless. "Indie rock" and "EDM" are some recent examples, but back in the '90s, it was "alternative" that got so overused as to become meaningless. In fact, these days it's a term whose non-nostalgic use is largely limited to various music awards shows — including the Grammys, whose 2013 nominations were announced last night. Perhaps more than ever before, this year's crop of "Best Alternative Album" picks raises the question: What does "alternative" even mean in 2012? … Read More
10 Bands That Changed the Sound That Made Them Famous
This week's most notable release has been Fragrant World, the curiously titled new album from Yeasayer, which came across our desk a couple of weeks back and has been on occasional rotation at Flavorpill central since. Our impressions of the record are that it sounds basically like its predecessor, 2010's Odd Blood, and thus nothing like the band's debut, 2007's All Hour Cymbals. Given the acclaim that their debut received, it's curious and rather disappointing that Yeasayer have moved away from its wide-eyed eclecticism toward a more conventional sound. Still, they're hardly the first band to change the sound that brought them to the public's attention — we've put together a selection for your reading delectation after the jump. … Read More
Lollapalooza 2012: The Festival in Photos
Last summer, formerly roaming, currently Chicago-based festival Lollapalooza celebrated its 20th anniversary. This past weekend, Perry Farrell's brainchild barreled into its third decade, once again taking over Grant Park (and most of the surrounding area) with three days of marquee headliners, upstart buzz bands, and plenty of sun, food, and eventually, the requisite mud. Saturday's installment saw a bit of a hitch, as the entire site was evacuated when a massive thunderstorm descended on the city; fortunately, the event resumed three hours later, with the mass exodus both out of and into the site handled remarkably well.
Nature's wrath aside, it was another banner year for Lolla. Among the highlights were main stage sets from Florence + The Machine, Metric, Sigur Rós, and the Black Keys — the latter of whom received a personal introduction from Chicago Mayor (and former White House Chief of Staff) Rahm Emanuel. Jack White closed out the festival with a headlining performance featuring both his alternating all-male and all-female bands. And then there was our personal highlight, soul man of the hour, Frank Ocean, whose Saturday night set on the Google Play stage was both a revelation and the perfect reason to steer clear of that night's main stage acts. Click through for our exclusive photo gallery from the entire weekend, both onsite and off, and if you were there too, share your own favorite moments in the comments. … Read More
Songs That Sound Like Love Songs But Aren't
A while back, we did a feature on some of the most misunderstood songs in music, and it's a topic we've been meaning to revisit ever since. Specifically, we're always interested in the realm of the faux love song, tracks that sound all lovey-dovey at first listen but either conceal deeper meanings or aren't in fact love songs at all (or, at least, not love songs about people). Whether they're rude and risqué, sinister, or just plain weird, there are some great songs that fall into this category, and we've amused ourselves selecting 10 of them for this feature. If you've any to add, the comments section is your friend. … Read More
10 MP3s You Need to Download for Free This Week: Redd Kross, Yeasayer
It's Friday, and we're back with another installment of our regular roundup of downloadable MP3 goodness from around the web. This week there's a long, long-awaited track from resurgent '90s icons Redd Kross, a descent to the ocean floor with
Bon Iver How to Dress Well, new work from Yeasayer and Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, an M83 remix for those not sick of M83, and the answer to the question that's been bugging everyone: how come they don't sell batteries on the subway any more? In other words, there's plenty of interesting sounds awaiting you after the jump, and since they won't cost a penny or land you an RIAA lawsuit, as your attorneys we advise you to start downloading immediately.

10 Free MP3s You Need to Download This Week
It's Friday, and unlike the rest of Flavorpill, this writer's not in Austin — instead, it's time for another installment of our regular roundup of downloadable MP3 goodness from around the web. There's a new song from Dr. John (if you're quick), along with interesting M83 and Orbital remixes, plenty of whacked out synths, a dab of psychedelic folk and the return of Owen "Casiotone for the Painfully Alone" Ashworth. In other words, there's plenty of good sounds awaiting you after the jump, and since they won't cost a penny or land you an RIAA lawsuit, as your attorneys we advise you to start downloading immediately. … Read More

Unlike Meeks, Crosby has no room in his gloomy glam for love, or its rhythms, which is why he is right not to borrow from such danceable dandies as the Pet Shop Boys, who, though lonely, never give up reaching out. There is, however, a pop precedent for his "all dressed up and nowhere to go" music: 30 years ago the sweet, falsetto-crying ballads of the Moments, Delfonics, and Stylistics sang honeyed dreams from a moneyed lonely boy to an equally moneyed lonely girl, sad because the possibility of realizing those dreams was made to sound so hopeless. Crosby's music has the same measure of honey, money, and loneliness. Too bad, though, about those falsetto dreams.

Last month Lauryn Hill made her first late night appearance in years for Bob Marley Week on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, and she must have had a great experience with the show, because she was back last night to play her classic single "Doo Wop (That Thing)." The very pregnant Hill showed no signs of flagging energy as she and her band (without any need of help from The Roots, even) blasted through a slightly sped-up version of the song. We don't want to add more weight to the expectations many had (and still have) for Hill as an artist, but we can't help but note that she remains an extraordinarily talented MC, and her band was right in the pocket.
In January, Hill reportedly arrived hours late for several shows and played her songs faster than usual, though if this was the speed, we'd hardly complain. (Hill would later issued an apology, in connection with the announcement of her sixth pregnancy, for the tour difficulties.) She is scheduled to perform 1998's The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill in its entirety at Rock the Bells shows on four consecutive weekends later this summer.
Update: Rap Radar points out that this performance was actually pre-recorded last month on the same day as her Marley tribute. That makes more sense, considering how far into her pregnancy she now is.

Meet Your Educator
Michelle Karpovich, Western Albemarle High School
Saturday, May 10, 2014 at 12:38 p.m.
Michelle Karpobich, Chemistry Teacher, Western Albemarle High School
What is the most challenging aspect of your job?
I consider myself an innovative teacher, trying to create authentic 21st century lessons and environments for my students, but not everyone is ready for educational change. This can lead to confrontations with individuals with different educational mindsets.
What's the most common misconception about your job?
Some people believe that teachers don't work outside the classroom and are lucky to have "summers off". This couldn't be farther from the truth! Teachers spend MANY hours outside of the classroom preparing lessons, grading papers, writing student letters of recommendation, engaging in professional development, etc. Nothing about our jobs as teachers is easy!
Where do you see the teaching field in 5 years?
I think the role of the teacher in the classroom should be and will be changing. Classrooms should be student-centered learning spaces, not teacher-centered lecture halls. I think more and more teachers are beginning to realize this and will be changing their practice as a result.
What outside experience prepared you best to become a teacher?
Probably having parents and teachers that taught me to practice many of Costa and Kallick's "16 Habits of Mind" (even though they didn't have a name for these skills at the time). These skills allow me to be successful in anything that I do.

BOOH! Did I getcha? Halloween is around the corner, and we can't wait for everyone to dress up in their finest ghoul, goblin and gremlin garb. There's gonna be haunted houses, horror movies, and candy… what could be better?! In light of this goopy, gory and gruesome day – let's peak at some seriously disturbing videos. Do you prefer Rockwell's "Somebody's Watching Me" or Fever Ray's "If I Had A Heart"? Vote now, and tell us which song you find creepier. And remember… check under your bed before you go to sleep. Mwahahaha.
Team Rockwell
Rockwell "Somebody's Watching Me" – Paranoid yet? I know I am… this video gives me the heebie jeebies! We've all had that feeling where we get a little spooked, turn around to see if we're being followed, and of course – there's no one there. But this brings paranoia to a whole different level. There's blood running from the shower and strange creatures occupying the front lawn. Terrifying and enjoyable to watch all at the same time. I'm gonna go make some popcorn.

Listen, I am no offshore expert at all so this advice is worth about what you paid for it.
That said, I speak to alot of sailors, have built a few small boats and read alot on this kind of stuff.
I read the story here on this forum of a large production boat doing the transpac to Hawaii, and having to turn back partly due to the boat leaking too much. It had never leaked in coastal conditions. But in the rough seas it encountered, with the deck being swept by a wave every minute or so, enough water came in to get everything inside the boat wet and require running the pumps. Death of a thousand cuts so to speak. I have heard that modern thinking on offshore boats is the "tupperware" principal, that the boat should be able to be sealed up perfectly, including the companionway. Many production boats used less than ideal caulking methods, and after only a few years they develop leaks (check out the bedding with butyl tape thread he gives some good examples). After 40 years, that sealant is just gonna be gone. I am going through this on my own boat, which leaks when it rains. I have begun re-caulking all through deck fittings, including the toe rail. I hope the hull-deck seem is still in good shape, because that would be one hell of a job to re-do lol... point is, people say that if the hatches/fittings can be sprayed with a pressure washer and not leak, then they probably won't leak if hit by a wave. I don't know how true that is, but at least a few people seem to believe it.
While recaulking, you may want to inspect the through-deck fittings for corrosion. 1/4 inch stays won't do much good if your chainplates are corroded inside the deck.
As for bulkheads, the hull flexes while in heavy seas and this can de-tab bulkheads. Happened on my own boat, though not on a crucial bulkhead. I simply re-tabbed it, using two layers of cloth instead of roving. If I were going "offshore", I would sand and reinforce the tabbing on my bulkheads with a layer or two of cloth. This is cheap and easy to do, and gives you a close up look at the structural condition of your boat, including whether the (usually ply) bulkhead is beginning to rot or is in good shape. A few through-(tabbing and bulkhead) 1/4 inch bolts on each tab is cheap insurance to ensure that the tabbing won't become detatched from the bulkhead (they are usually attached with polyester resin, not epoxy, so the bond may weaken over time).
Another thing to consider is a forward crash compartment. James Baldwin raised his v-berth a few inches and sealed up the compartment underneath, creating a crash compartment. He did this after a collision with a fishing vessel which could have been worse if he were not a lucky guy...
Again though, I am not talking from experience as I have never made an "offshore" passage. Just reiterating what I have learned from others and from my limited practical experience.

Crowds filled the bleachers at the Tractor Pull on Friday night. It was one of the best-attended events of the Fair. More than just a night out with friends and family, this crowd knew what they were watching. They rooted for the drivers or the machines, or yelled advice: "Don't do it in idle, son, put it in gear." And, "let it out, let it out, let out." There were nine categories of competition and each one had it's own set of fans. First, Second and Third place in each class won $100, $50 or $25 respectively. With an entry fee of only $20, the competition was just about an even draw.
Announcer Steve Speck all but lost his voice in the nearly four-hour event. A case of bottled water and lively discussions with friends who dropped in and out of the booth all night while he announced the winners and distances pulled in each weight class kept him going to the end. Esten Stinson won the first class, 5,500 lb Farm Stock Tractor, with a 217.7 pull. Dustin Grissom with 212.89 was second and Ben Centers was third with 212.6. In Class 2, 8,500 lb Farm Stock Tractor, Scott Gammons came in first with 252.7. Dustin Grissom came in second with 235.1. Jerry White came in third with 221.1.
Class 3, 8,500 lb Open Farm Tractor, went to Channing Swindle with a 304.5 pull. Brian Swindle came in second with 294.9. Dillon Doss won Class 4, 10,500 lb Farm Stock Tractor, with a 309.1 pull. Dusty Dodson was second with 249.9. Class 5, 10,500 lb Alternate Farm Tractor went to Spencer Shrum. He had a 296.8 pull. Brian Swindle came in second with 292.4 and Channing Swindle came in third with 256.2. Dalton Shrum won Class 6, 12,500 lb Farm Stock Tractor, with 297.1. Dillon Doss was a close second with 282.7. Class 7, 12,500 lb Open Farm Tractor got off to a rocky start with a few stalls and a scratch. Eventually, it was won by Spencer Shrum with a 295.2 pull. Dalton Shrum came in second with 243.8. Class 8, 14,000 Farm Stock was won by Dalton Shrum with a 246.9 pull. Dillon Doss came in second with 239.4. Steve Tuck came in third with 233.3 . Class 9, Street Gas 6,200 lb Truck gave Jon Redfern the win with 290.4. Frank Cox was second with 283.0. Landon Stinson was third with 265.7.

01 November 2013 17:10 [Source: ICIS news]
HOUSTON (ICIS)--While recent titanium dioxide (TiO2) price increase nominations for the first quarter of 2014 have not found much traction, the stage is set for modest price increases mid-to-late next year, an analyst at Deutsche Bank said on Friday.
Weak industry operating rates in the low-to-mid 80% range and subdued global demand have made the recent price nominations difficult to stick, David Begleiter said in analyst note from the global investment bank.
In October, producers Huntsman nominated a 6-cent/lb ($132/tonne, €98/tonne) increase, while DuPont and Kronos each put forth 5-cent/lb nominations.
Begleiter did say that destocking has "run its course", noting that TiO2 volumes were up 20-25% year over year in the third quarter and that inventory levels "have dropped to a more normal 60 days versus 100 days" as they were in the first half of 2013.
"We believe [the recent nominations] have served to help stabilise the market, mark a trough for the industry and set the stage for modest price increases in mid-to-late 2014," the analyst said.
Currently, the US contract range for TiO2 is $1.55-1.70/lb, as assessed by ICIS.

While her husband Tiger Woods seeks sex addiction help in Mississippi, Elin Nordegren continued her solo parenting duties on Tuesday as she picked up their daughter Sam from a nursery school in Florida.
The former model wore a grey V-neck top, skinny blue jeans, and funky knee-high boots for the outing.
With two security guards and her 11-month old son Charlie Axel also in tow, Nordegren appeared to be in high spirits but continued to keep mum about the controversy surrounding her husband and their marriage.

Tenerife - north and south
Out of all the Canary Islands, the biggest – Tenerife – arguably has the most going on. Travel to the island's top half and you'll find no end of greenery to get lost in – banana plantations, pine forests, you name it. Head south, meanwhile, and you're in holiday central, with everything you could possibly want at your fingertips.
Buzzing beach resorts
Take Playa de las Americas. The top attraction in this purpose-built resort is the white-sand beach, but its waterpark, 18-hole golf course and string of places to dine out are the other plus points people tend to reel off. As for its buzzing strip of bars and clubs, it's turned the place into a bit of a party Mecca. It's got some stylish new cafes and shopping centres, too. Next-door Los Cristianos, meanwhile, is home to two beaches, some sleek shopping malls and plenty of al fresco eateries. It's the quieter of the two, but there's plenty going on, including a busy Sunday market.
Laid-back Tenerife
For proper peace and quiet, try Playa de la Arena on the south-west coast. It's got a more traditional feel, spotless sands and some of the best tapas bars around. Equally mellow is compact Playa Paraiso, home to a really popular lido. And for a happy medium, go for Costa Adeje. A modern resort with Mount Teide as its backdrop, it's got a clutch of chic shops and eateries to its name.
Things to See and Do in Tenerife
Beach-blessed island
Tenerife is the biggest of the Canaries, and it certainly doesn't hold back when it comes to beaches. Los Cristianos and Playa de las Americas have man-made stretches, with sands shipped in from the Sahara, while places like Playa de la Arena and Puerto de la Cruz offer up black-sand beauties.
The big beach
The standout stretch is Playa de Las Vistas. It's the largest of Los Cristianos' 3 beaches and its sands have been given the Blue Flag stamp of approval. Families flock here for the calm waters and the watersport selection – think parasailing, pedalos and whale-watching trips. You're sorted when it comes to lunch, too – the palm-lined prom is packed with cafés and kiosks.
The secret beach
On the flipside, if you'd rather have the sands to yourself, head to Playa Bullullo. It's a weekend hangout for the locals, but Monday to Friday you'll find just a handful of other crowd-shunning sun-seekers. The beach is pretty rugged, with black sands, volcanic cliffs and crashing breakers. And there's a ramshackle bar serving up ice-cold beers and seafood snacks if you get peckish. You can drive here, but the best way to arrive is on foot – it's a 30-minute walk from Puerto de la Cruz through leafy banana plantations.
Designer Buys
If big names are your game, make a beeline for Plaza del Duche in Costa Adeje. Here you can blow your budget on clothes, jewellery and diamonds from the likes of Cartier. For something more individual, try the boutiques near El Duque beach, which sell stacks of one-off frocks by local designers. In Playa de las Americas, head for the Safari Centre where stylish types flock to Armani and Hugo Boss.
Mid-Range Buys
Perfume is big business in Tenerife. You can smell the fragrance shops a mile off in Los Cristianos – there are several on each street around the town centre, where you can pick up everything from Chanel No.5 to Spanish brand, Loewe. You'll get around 20% off thanks to the island's duty-free status. Tenerife's also a top spot to pick up strings of cultured pearls – try Tenerife Pearl in Armenime, a ten-minute drive from Playa Paraiso.
Bargain Buys
It's not hard to hunt down a bargain in Tenerife – the whole island is duty-free, with anything up to half the price knocked off. Stock up on local wine and spirits at HyperTrebol in Los Cristianos. For something more local, food's the name of the game. Head to one of the many HiperDino grocery stores across the island for award-winning Arico goats' cheese and top-notch local honey – Miel de Tenerife is the best.
Laid-back evenings
Costa Adeje is way quieter than its noisy neighbour, Playa de las Americas. Make your way to the San Eugenio district, where you'll find everyone from pensioners to teenagers tapping their feet to live Spanish guitar music. And In Adeje village itself, there's a stadium that's hosted the likes of Adele and Akon. In Costa Teguise, there are plenty of bars to choose from on Avenida Islas Canarias.
Lively evenings
Swing by the Veronicas strip in Playa de las Americas and you'll be bombarded with clubs – it's Tenerife's party capital. You'll spot plenty of bars with '2 for 1' drinks offers, too. For a more Spanish flavour, drive an hour north to Santa Cruz – the upcoming Noria district is really hip right now. You can dance to the likes of salsa in the bars here.
Conejo al salmorejo
Locals have a bit of a thing for rabbit. Here, a big chunk of it is marinated in wine, vinegar, garlic and spices until the flavours have really sunk in. It's then fried up in olive oil until it's golden brown, and left to simmer on the stove for at least 4 hours. Stick your fork in and the meat just falls apart.
Puchero Canario
Tenerife mamas are big fans of this one-pot dish. It uses up whatever's left in the kitchen cupboard – stuff like chicken, chorizo, and whatever veg is in season. The most important ingredient, though, is a big spoonful of sweet, smoky paprika. In restaurants you'll find it rounded off with a pinch of saffron.
A few thousand years ago, Guanche tribespeople often cooked up a big pot of gofio, and it's still going strong now. These days, it's a smooth, creamy mix of ground toasted sweetcorn, cooked in stock and served with tongue-tinglingly strong escaldón onions. You'll often find spicy sausages thrown in, too.
Arico cheese
The residents of the town of Arico are chuffed to bits with their rich, smoky goats' cheese – it topped the World Cheese Awards in 2008, and it's become a favourite right across Tenerife. It's coated in paprika, and is often served with a mild tomato salsa as a starter in restaurants around the island.
It's not just the Caribbean that makes rum – the Canary Islands produce some fine stuff, too. The most lip-smacking is Ron Miel, a mix of rum and local honey – it's usually taken neat so as not to dilute the nectar-like flavour.
Places To Stay In Tenerife► View all
Playa de las Americas
Set on Tenerife's southwest coast, Playa de las Americas is the party capital of the island. Year-round sun and full-on nightlife pull in the Brit crowd, and the duty-free shops and golden beaches don't do any harm either. And as if that wasn't enough, there's the classy resort of Los Cristianos just next door, plus windsurfing capital El Medano a 15-minute drive away.
Costa Adeje
In resort terms, Costa Adeje is a relative newbie but it's already a bit of an 'It'-destination on Tenerife's south coast. Backdropped by volcanic Mount Teide, it's all 5-star hotels, high-end villas and luxury boutiques – the Beckhams are regulars here, apparently. It's a fairly laid-back place, but you've got party-hard Playa de las Palmas next door plus one of the world's biggest waterparks right on your doorstep.
Playa Paraiso
As resorts go, Playa Paraiso is a bit of a wallflower. Set on Tenerife's southwest coast, it's a small, quiet, purpose-built resort where you won't find much beyond a few restaurants, shops and bars. You can really dip in and out of the action here, though, because just down the road you've got party-mad Playa de las Americas and one of the world's top waterparks, Siam Park.

Hey everybody
I have been intrigued by this vaginal discharge I'm having.
it comes out in globs, and is yellowish but with a greenish tint
I have taken a photo of it outside in natural light with no flash, but I'm surprised why this greenish tint is not so clear in the photo
i don't feel itchy, nor pain
but i admit i do feel pain during intercourse which is a reason that makes me avoid it altogether
I regularly use a non invasive kind of intimate detergent that's free of SLS and many other chemicals,
after noticing this problem, I started using as well a product that is a natural disinfectant derived from fruits.
But since a week , I stopped both and i have been on the traditional local soap that's only made of lye and olive oil ever since
I would be grateful if somebody assures me if it's normal or not
thanks in advance
Occasional yellowish discharge is normal but steady, green-tinged and lots of it would indicate a bacterial infection, I think.
You don't need to use *anything* to cleanse internally, doing so disrupts your natural flora and permits "invasive species" to flourish. So the first thing to do would be to stop putting cleansers of ANY sort inside your girl bits.
See if you can find some probiotic tablets that can be used in suppository form and try those for a few days - but if it doesn't clear up, go see a doctor.
It could be bacterial vaginosis. (not sure if I spelled that right) It is something worth getting tested at the doc's because it can cause problems in pregnant women. I had it and didn't know I had it either. It is just something that can happen the doc told me. I also had no other symptoms. So I was surprised when the doctor told me she was gonna do a swab during my exam and then it came back pos. She gave me an antibiotic. Hope this helps :)
I have to say I'm in awe of your braveness to post a picture of something so intimate on a public forum. It's not the easiest thing to look at, but I understand why you wanted others to see it. Having said that, a greenish tint is almost always a sign of some sort of infection of the bacterial variety. It sounds like it's probably because of the intimate detergent you've been using. Although it sounds like it's about as non-irritating as it can get, using anything at all in your vaginal area opens yourself up to problems. I would call a doctor or get checked out as soon as possible.
Iooks like an infection of some sort. I would have it looked at. I am sure that is not what you want to hear but in my eyes better to be safe then sorry especially when carry a little one.
Hello and Thank you for your replies
I have hesitated a lot before posting the photo so publicly, indeed,
in fact I hoped and still do that the photo won't make anyone uncomfortable.
I have done this public step so that others would relate to it as well [I have not seen much material on internet to compare mine to]
and as I said earlier, i want to know what's happening
I'm not a fan of antibiotics and I would certainly do everything I could to avoid them (as noted above, probiotic suppositories, you can try a clean peeled clove of garlic, too) - but if you need antibiotics, you need them. It sounds as if your immune system is not well-balanced or robust, and natural remedies work much, much better in people who have the internal resources to help them. These remedies are NOT strong enough on their own, if your system cannot take over from the boost that they give you, it won't make the problem go away. A bacterial infection poses a real risk, especially as you get closer to giving birth, and you're not just making a decision for you. As much as I think antibiotics are dangerous and do a lot of damage to people's immune systems, it's generally better to be damaged by antibiotics and functional than damaged by pathogenic bacteria and not-so-functional.
Long-term I would look at your gut health - you might have issues with something in your diet (wheat is usually the first culprit that springs to mind, followed by dairy and soy) that is impairing how your gut regulates your immune system (google "leaky gut syndrome"). Try eating a lot more lacto-fermented foods (homemade sauerkraut, kimchi, pickled beans & carrots, yogurt and kefir if you CAN do dairy) to help. I don't know if I'd really advise dropping wheat or dairy if it's a big part of your diet while you're pregnant unless you have access to and the ability to eat enough of other foods to replace the calories. (Lots of eggs, fish & shellfish, pasture-raised meats, starchy vegetables like sweet potato, white potato, maybe white rice depending on where it's from, that sort of thing.)
I just want to add that the ph of the vagina is a very delicate thing--it's very easy to cause an imbalance and make it either too acidic or too alkaline, both of which can cause problems. I used to get yeast infections on occasion and then when I realized it might be because of the tampons I was using, I only used pads after that (cloth ones at that). I haven't had a yeast infection since. So even though tampons are seen as okay to put in one's vagina, it caused an imbalance in mine (and who knows how many others). The same could be true of the intimate cleansers you've been putting in yours--even though they're acceptable, sometimes prescribed by doctors and don't seem to be agitating in terms of ingredients, they could very well be throwing off the ph which is not a terribly difficult thing to do.
When I have had issues with either yeast infection or Bacterial Vaginosis I have always resorted to acidophilus. I think they have an over the counter product that can help you diagnose the issue. I totally understand apprehension to doctors, I have been put through the ringer a time or two and always take what they say with a grain of salt. I really hope you get it figured out.
Dear Staphanie,
Did you go to a Dr for your greenish vaginal discharge? If so, would you tell me what your doctor told you?
what type of infection did you doctor suggest, if at all? what test/s did you do to find out?
I would highly appreciate your reply!
Warmest regards,

The Sports Network
DATE & TIME: Saturday, February 16, 8 p.m. (et)
FACTS & STATS: Site: Bison Sports Arena (6,000) -- Fargo, North Dakota. Television: None. Home Record: IUPUI 4-7, NDSU 10-1. Away Record: IUPUI 1-12, NDSU 7-6. Neutral Record: IUPUI 1-2, NDSU 2-0. Conference Record: IUPUI 1-12, NDSU 10-4. Series Record: IUPUI leads, 7-4.
GAMES NOTES: The worst team in the Summit League will face off with one of its best when the IUPUI Jaguars visit the North Dakota State Bison at Bison Sports Arena on Saturday night.
The miserable season for IUPUI kept going on Thursday as the Jaguars were routed, 82-45, by South Dakota State. With the loss the Jaguars have fallen to just 1-12 against the Summit League which has it alone in last place. The Jaguars have a matching 1-12 mark on the road and have dropped 11 straight contests overall.
For the first time this season North Dakota State lost at home last time out. In a grueling matchup with conference leading Western Illinois, the Bison were defeated, 49-36, by the Leathernecks. The loss was the first in 11 tries at Bison Sports Arena for the Bison who are 19-7 overall and 10-4 in league play. North Dakota State is currently in third in the Summit League standings though just a half game back of second place South Dakota State.
It wasn't pretty when these teams met earlier this season as North Dakota State rolled to a 78-40 victory. Even with that decision, IUPUI still leads the all-time series, 7-4, after having won five of the previous six matchups.
IUPUI had no answers for South Dakota State at either end of the floor on Thursday. The Jaguars shot just 34.8 percent from the field and allowed the Jackrabbits to score 22 points off turnovers. Then on defense the Jaguars let the Jackrabbits shoot at a 53.8 percent rate while hitting 11 shots from beyond the arc.
The defensive end of the floor has given IUPUI the most trouble this season. The Jaguars are letting up 77 points per game on 49.4 percent shooting. Both of those marks are among the 10 worst nationally. The Jaguars are also one of the 10 worst rebounding squads in the country (28.5 ppg). Those efforts on defense and the boards have severely outweighed the teams meager offensive numbers (66.9 ppg, .445 FG percentage). The Jaguars were dealt big blows with the losses of John Hart (14.2 ppg) and Ian Chiles (10.2 ppg) this season due to an eligibility issue and an injury. In their place, Mitchell Patton (13.4 ppg, 5.0 rpg) and Donovan Gibbs (10.6 ppg, 6.3 rpg) have tried to hold the fort down but to no avail.
There wasn't much offensive success on either end of the floor in North Dakota State's bout with Western Illinois. That was especially true for the Bison in the second half when they had just three field goals and shot 13.6 percent from the field. Meanwhile the Leathernecks shot at a 44.7 percent rate in the contest and had a 35-29 edge in rebounds.
North Dakota State is normally a team equipped for low-scoring battles. The Bison are surrendering just 55.5 points per game on 38.4 percent shooting this season. Each of those totals is among the 25 best in the country as is the number of assists they allow per game (10). On the offensive end the Bison are normally extremely efficient as well, shooting a league best 47.4 percent from the field. North Dakota State has also had to deal with the injury bug as leading scorer Taylor Braun (15.2 ppg) was lost with a stress fracture in his right foot in mid January. In the eight games Braun has missed, the scoring load has shifted to Marshall Bjorklund (11.8 ppg, 6.2 rpg), Lawrence Alexander (10.7 ppg, 4.0 apg) and TrayVonn Wright (9.9 ppg, 5.9 rpg).
IUPUI couldn't be coming to Fargo at a better time. The Bison have been stumbling a bit with losses in two of their last three games, but against IUPUI the Bison will get back on track.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: North Dakota State 68, IUPUI 54


text: ASHLAND � In high school, Joe Horn and Blaine Maag dominated in track and field.Now at Ashland University, the two former high-school standouts are picking up right where they left off.Horn, a redshirt freshman from Waynesfield-Goshen High School, is part of a 400-meter relay team that has recorded the fourth-fastest time in the nation (NCAA Division II) this season, clocking a time of 40.85 seconds.In his senior year at Waynesfield in 2006, Horn swept the 100-meter, the 200-meter, the 400-meter dashes and anchored the winning 800-meter relay team to lead Waynesfield to its first-ever state title in track and field.Horn is still displaying his versatility by being utilized in many events this spring � including the decathlon. AU track coach Jud Logan said Horn is quite capable of scoring points in several events.�He did not get to run with us last year because of spring football,� Logan said. �This year, he�s going to score a ton of points for us at the conference meet.�He�ll do the one (100-meter dash) and two (200 dash), the open 400, the four-by-one (400 relay) and the four-by-four (1,600 relay).�Horn also played wide receiver for the AU football team this past fall. He caught seven passes for 61 yards in the nine games in which he saw action.Maag, a former two-time state champion in the discus from Columbus Grove, is making his mark for AU in the throwing circle. He has already provisionally qualified for the NCAA Championships in both the discus and shot put.�He�s the purest athlete on the team,� Logan said. �He�s decided that football was starting to take a toll on his body, so he�s now focusing on track and field. We�re happy that he�s decided to do that.�Maag is not the only Columbus Grove graduate showing promise on the AU track team. Cory Meuleman, a freshman, is being redshirted this spring.

Prep girls basketball: Stanwood 51, Mount Vernon 48
Despite leading by as much as six points late in the fourth quarter, Stanwood had to sweat it out late as a 3-pointer at the buzzer by Alyssa Evans just bounced off the rim to secure the win.
Marken scored all 17 of her points in the second half, including the first three buckets in the fourth quarter to close the Stanwood lead to 37-35. But the Spartans locked down on defense and a pair of big baskets by junior Sierra Palmer opened up the lead to six points again.
Poor free throw shooting -- Stanwood shot 4-for-10 from the line down the stretch -- allowed the Bulldogs to remain in the game.
Stanwood, which is still playing without its lone senior Rachel Swartz, was led in scoring by Lauren Allison's 10 points.
At Mount Vernon H.S.
Stanwood 10 10 17 14 -- 51

Jerry Seinfeld offered $100 Million for Season 10 of Seinfeld
The comedian was offered $5 million per episode according to a former NBC exec.
By: Ilan Mester
Seinfeld ended on a high note after nine seasons on NBC, four Emmy wins and three Golden Globes. The popular sitcom made stars out of Jerry Seinfeld and the rest of the ensemble cast. It also made Seinfeld a lot of money.
And according to former NBC exec Warren Littlefield, Seinfeld could have made even more money off of the successful TV show had he stayed on for another season. In an interview with Fox News, Littlefield claims the 58-year-old comedian and co-writer of the series was offered more than $100 million ($5 million per episode) to do another season of Seinfeld.
"We didn't mess around," Littlefield told Fox News. "What we put on the table was unheard of. We went in there with a staggering sum and there was tremendous confidence that no one could walk away from it."
So why did Seinfeld walk away from $100 million? Littlefield says the comedian wanted to get married and start a family.
While a Seinfeld reunion is unlikely, Seinfeld fans will be happy to know that the Golden Globe winner will likely guest star on Season 3 of Louie on FX, according to Hollwood.com.

The evening primose, a beautiful herb with buttercup yellow flowers, has deep-sated healing properties
It thrives in cool climates of North America and Europe. The pretty blossoms last only a day, withering away before the sun sets and hence the name, evening primrose.
To witness the beautiful flowers unfurl in the twilight is a remarkable experience. The entire plant seems to glow with bright yellow phosphorescence.
About two inches long, the seeds of the evening primrose are used to produce a potent oil that is used in the production of medicines and cosmetics. This is because the precious oil from this seed has been known to be a true miracle worker. It contains several fatty acids that the body requires for a glowing, healthy complexion, to reduce allergic eczema (skin rash) and improve the circulation.
Rich medicinal properties
Evening primrose is said to include a substance called Gamma-linolenic acid, (GLA) which balances the female hormones that often tend to rage wild once old age and menopause set in. Linoleic acid also helps the body make use of insulin, regulate weight, and prevent cancer and heart disease. It reduces swelling or irritation, making evening primrose ideal for treating inflammatory ailments like asthma or arthritis.
New research shows that properties in evening primrose ease depression and hyperactivity. Parts of the shoot act as an astringent, soothing throat irritation and chest congestion. The root of this plant improves and tones digestion.
American Red Indians were known to use it as poultice, stuffing a cloth containing the leaves and using this crushed mix to heal bruises and to stem excessive bleeding.
Today, evening primrose is available in the form of capsules and is often recommended for calming stress. A cup of evening primrose decoction also aids weight loss (see box). For best results, one cup is recommended with every meal.
The best effects of evening primrose however, have been noted on the skin. A group of doctors from Kolkata treated chronic atopic dermatitis patients (a disorder marked by excessively dry skin, accompanied by severe itching and inflammation) with a 500 mg dose of evening primrose oil in capsule form. The treatment continued for a period of 5 months. At the end of the fifth month, 96% of the patients showed marked improvement, with no significant adverse effects reported.
If you would like to supplement your diet with evening primrose capsules, do consult your doctor for the appropriate dosage before you begin. Keep in mind that an excessive dose can do more harm than good.
If used in excess, the oil may cause indigestion, nausea and headache. For individuals prone to seizures and epilepsy, it is best to avoid evening primrose altogether, since some studies have proved that it can worsen these conditions.
Today, it is heartening that more detailed studies into the healing properties of this wonder plant are being conducted by researchers across the world.

Anthony Krikhaar – 'Cornfield by a Stream'
This item will be auctioned for the Koning Willem Fonds, a charity that assists Dutch people in the UK who are in need. The KWF deals with legal problems, housing difficulties, medical requirements or family problems. Often a modest sum can make the difference in opening doors and revealing solutions and sometimes, at the very least, even a phone call, a Christmas card or flowers enable KWF to brighten up a lonely life.
To benefit the work of the Koning Willem Fonds Tony Krikhaar has for the sixth time in a row donated a splendid work of art for auction. In doing so, he treads in the footsteps of the illustrious Pre- Raphaelite Dutch painter, Sir Lawrence Alma Tadema R.A. who living in London in the late 19th Century, donated the sale proceeds of his work to the Koning Willem Fund on several occasions. Alma Tadema and Krikhaar – in their respective era's – not only share a great generosity of spirit by raising funds for the same good cause but also converge in their love of vibrant colours, particularly azure and yellow. However, where Alma Tadema indulged in painstaking detail to lend energy to his paintings, Krikhaar achieves the same effect by his bold brush strokes which on closer scrutiny turn out to be applied with infinite care and accuracy. His newly developed technique of creating depth by the super-imposition of perspex on board lends a magical third dimension to this appealing landscape of corn growing by a stream. 'Cornfield by a Stream' is a real Krikhaar bearing his unmistakable imprint yet it presents a fresh interpretation of his vision of the English countryside on a dreamy summer afternoon.

We are using a two-part polyurethane paint and we're wondering if we need to use wax on the newly painted topsides and deck? We have used Don Casey's book (This Old Boat), but it doesn't mention this.
Dan Dickison responds: Thanks for your question. The reason that Casey doesn't cover waxing over your new polyurethane paint job is that it's unnecessary. When properly applied, polyurethane paint provides superior abrasion resistance, chafe and erosion resistance, toughness, flexibility, gloss, and color retention. It comes from the aircraft industry originally, and as you can imagine, applying wax over it would simply add weight that would be costly in terms of fuel efficiency. Of course that's much less of a concern for sailors, but it's really unnecessary. Regarding the use of wax on deck, I wouldn't recommend it for any areas that are meant to be stepped upon. You're going to want to have the best footing possible in those areas, and a slick coat of wax will work against you in that regard.
Here's wishing you the best of luck with your refit, so that you can get back out sailing as soon as possible.

Pac-12 tournament kicking off in Vegas
LAS VEGAS Hoping to boost the Pac-12 tournament's appeal, conference Commissioner Larry Scott pushed to move it from Los Angeles to a more exciting destination that would draw from all over the West.
The bright lights of The Strip in Las Vegas should be a good fit.
"We wanted there to be vibrancy and energy to the venue and we felt with Vegas, fans can enjoy going there," Scott said.
The Pac-12 will open its first tournament in Las Vegas with four games on Wednesday at the MGM Grand Garden Arena and continue until Saturday's championship game with an automatic NCAA tournament berth on the line.
The Pac-12 tournament had been held at the Staples Center for 11 years and one of the big complaints was all the empty seats that could be seen on TV, particularly if UCLA got knocked out.
The Grand Garden has primarily been used for boxing events, but did have a test run of sorts when Oregon State played San Diego there earlier this season.
While the capacity of the Grand Garden is only a few thousand less, it isn't nearly as cavernous as the Staples Center and has the allure of Vegas as an added attraction for fans.
"Las Vegas is such a destination city and so many people enjoy going there whether there's a sporting event going on or not," Arizona coach Sean Miller said. "You combine that with the fact you have this competitive tournament and it's the first basketball games ever played at the MGM Grand, and to me, it's exciting and it's going to be exciting for years to come."
Las Vegas has been a destination for conference tournaments.
The West Coast Conference concluded its tournament Monday night at Orleans Arena, where the Western Athletic Conference started its tournament on Tuesday. The Mountain West is also playing this week at the Thomas & Mack Center, UNLV's home arena.
Now, with the Pac-12 in town, Vegas is even more of a basketball mecca this week.
"I'm thrilled to be moving to somewhat of a basketball haven when you consider all the tournaments that are being played there," Utah coach Larry Krystkowiak said.
For all the fun available outside in Vegas, it could be just as good on the court the way things have gone in the conference this season.
No. 21 UCLA won the regular-season title, but may not even be the favorite to win the tournament.
No. 18 Arizona has the highest ranking, yet is the fourth seed after struggling late in the season.
Oregon, California and possibly Colorado could be headed to the NCAA tournament, so clearly there's some talent there.
Even the teams at the bottom half of the bracket pulled off some upsets during the regular season. Three of those came on the final weekend, when Washington State beat UCLA, Utah knocked off Oregon and Oregon State beat Colorado.
Colorado pulled off an upset of sorts by winning last year's Pac-12 tournament and it wouldn't be much of a surprise if there's another this season the way the regular season played out.

30.03.05 - By Neil Goodman: James Lights Out Toney is set to face John Ruiz on the 30th April, in a fight for the WBA Crown (currently held by Ruiz). This fight presents Toney with another opportunity to persuade the boxing fraternity that he is in fact a genuine heavyweight fighter, as opposed to a cruiserweight or even light-heavyweight who does not train with the requisite diligence.. Of course Toney had a long history of battling the scales, as well as his opponents, when he boxed as a Middle and then Super Middleweight champion. Since 1994, however, Toneys fighting weight has gone up and up, barring the occasional flirtation with the light-heavyweight limit.
Whenever the career of James Toney is mentioned or discussed at length it does not take long before the issue of his weight, or girth, comes to the fore. For such a talented fighter the detraction away from his skills is perhaps unnecessary and unwanted. This said the scales do not lie and I get the impression not even Toneys trainers have been certain what his best fighting weight should be.
Going forward the weight debate is perhaps no longer such an issue, it seems clear Toney is determined to ply his trade in the blue ribbon division. But one or two question marks continue to hangover Toneys career, such as; how great a fighter could Toney have been, had it not been for the weight problems? Secondly, is he really big enough to hang with current crop of heavies?
To date Toney has battled several bona fide heavyweights, most notable is the stoppage victory over Evander Holyfield. On paper this does standout as a great victory and in truth the tactics and execution on the night were exemplary. But in the cold light of day it was a badly faded Holyfield, who stumbled around the ring and folded from a body shot of all things back in 2003.
Another highlight on the Toney CV is the cruiserweight world title defeat of Vassiliy Jirov. This fight underlined James Toneys class and marked him out as a danger man, after a long career, stretching back to 1988.
So Toney has performed against cruiserweights and heavyweights and to date has not been beaten whilst he himself has weighed over 190 lbs. Take Evander out of the equation though and Toney has not fought a heavyweight ranked in the top ten, this is not to say he has not been prepared to step up to the plate. Toney was previously scheduled to face the behemoth Jamel McCline and one can only assume he entered into this contractual agreement in the belief he could beat the opponent who was some 10 inches taller. As it transpired the fight did not go ahead, Toney pulling out through injury. Yet for all his limitations McCline, taking into account his size alone, had to be in with a good shot of beating Toney.
Most old boxing adages have become established over the years and the fights which have taken place over this period of time in general confirm and reaffirm these boxing laws. It is often only the great fighters who are able to break free from the confines of boxing commonsense. The oldest and arguably truest logic in boxing is that a good big un, always beats a good little un.
In judging Toneys chances against Ruiz, it has to be considering that not only is he up against a bigger man, but also precedence, set time and again in the boxing ring. Whilst Ruiz has grown into his heavyweight frame, his natural advantages and heavyweight world title experience should stand him in good stead.
In terms of weight alone Ruiz is likely to enter the ring a minimum of 20lbs heavier than Toney, then his additional height and reach also need to be thrown into the melting pot. The stats do seem to stack up against Toney and in addition to the physical disparities the Quiet Man in terms of world title fights is on a bit of roll.
No-one is going to herald Ruiz as one of the great heavyweights and his style, what there is of it, is none to pleasing aesthetically. But Ruiz is efficient, without being spectacular; he has been quietly getting the job done. His walk forward persistence, twinned with his mauling and spoiling has repelled the challenges of Rahman, Oquendo and most recently Golota.
Prior to this series of wins, if you had put your money on Ruiz to win these three fights, whilst you would not be planning an earlier retirement, you would probably be set for a good night out at the very least!
In truth, Ruiz upon entering this fight could be on a hiding to nothing. If he wins, well he has done what he was expected to do and beat up on the smaller guy. On the other hand if he loses, it is a case of Ruiz losing to another small guy. Additionally the harshest critics might say he has been lucky to have hung around this long in the world title picture.
I strongly believe that the psychological demons which came to bear in the fight against Roy Jones Jnr will play a significant part in this fight. After all it is one thing to be beaten by a smaller man, but to be knocked out is another ballgame altogether! I can still recall the moment when Jones rocked Ruiz with a right hand to the jaw in the second round of their world title fight. Jones hand speed, coupled with the apparent power dented Ruizs confidence that night and from the second round onwards he stopped fighting like the heavyweight trying to overpower the blown up light-heavyweight.
Perhaps Ruiz had flashbacks to the moment David Tua blew him out of their contest in the first thirty seconds, who knows? But one thing is for sure Ruiz will want to get this one right, to generate interest and credibility, which may lead to a big money showdown.
In James Toney, Ruiz, is facing a very different beast to the dancing Roy Jones Jnr. Toneys skills, whilst more orthodox, are not based heavily on movement. Sure, he can box and move, but he employs a lot of upper-body movement to avoid punches and for offences he relies on counting and hand speed. Toney is essentially a throwback, he shoots his mouth-off, but then backs it up with sweet moves and combination punching.
For Toney this world title shoot is not such a pressure situation, more a welcome relief. He has suffered disappointment with fights falling through and for to long his talent has been kept under wraps. James is a smart fighter and whilst he has been calling out Vitali Klitschko, a.k.a Chicken Kiev, he is fully aware that he would need a step ladder just get near the WBC Champions chin! In Ruiz he is facing an earnest champion, but one he knows he can get to (both psychologically and physically).
Fight strategies for both men? For Toney the real battle will be in the gym, before the fight, here he needs to get himself into shape. He will know he will need to be in condition to do 12 hard rounds and to this end will need to come in at his optimum fighting weight (whatever this maybe?!) Once the bell rings it will be time for Toney to go to work and deliver on the promise his talent deserves. If he can win the WBA World Heavyweight Crown then Lights Out will have the platform to run his mouth off all over town and set up a grand stand finale to his long career.
The Quiet Mans preparation for this fight maybe less problematic than his opponents, but not without pitfalls. Firstly where will the Ruiz camp find a sparring partner who can effectively mimic the skills, moves and size of Toney? Then John will be faced with his own weight debate; does he come in light and try to match Toney punch for punch? Or does Ruiz bulk up and try to emphasise his size and weight advantage? In terms of delivering his own fight tactics come fight night; I can not see Ruiz trying to reinvent the style that has served him up to this point. Ruiz will jab a bit, rough house on the inside and thrown the occasional right hand into the mix. Post-Tua the Quiet Man is pre-programme for caution and against a counter-puncher of Toneys class he will be in a state of high alert from the first bell.
To conclude I think Toney will look to start fast, Ruiz can be a bit of a plodder and Toney can definitely use this to his advantage. Toneys variety of work, combination punching and general punch picking can catch the judges eye and secure him an early lead on the cards. This will not be an easy nights work though, take away the loss to Tua and Ruiz is generally dependable in terms of making an argument out of all his fights. Can Ruiz catch Toney often enough, with clean punches to make his weight advantage count in his favour? This is crucial to the outcome of the fight and against Jones Ruiz fell someway short of the mark.
James Toney, his intensity seems to burn as strong as ever, I envisage his slick skills being enough to nullify Ruiz on the outside and if necessary on the inside. I believe he can win enough of the early rounds and finish in such a manner to clinch a close but unanimous decision. Thereafter it will be interesting if James Toney can secure a place in the Boxing Hall of Fame.

From experience doing these things, believe me they are not worth the effort - but if you do, lie through your teeth, fake up an email and facebook page (Hi I'm Jhonny fakename!) and use a fake telephone number (or get creative ..a friend used a takeaway that took his money and gave him entirely the wrong order and then tried to get him to pay the higher price that the wrong order was..not that I agree with that action)
Above all. make sure your virus check is up to date and all security measures are set high - Simple really, as is to realise just how much info you are giving before being made 'eligible' - too much, don't fill it in as they got the information they really want for free and as soon as you hit enter, they'll drop you
Beyond this, if your sense tells you its a scam, close it - and for heavens sake, do not download anything they offer!

Colombia government-guerrilla negotiations to Oslo
Published on Wednesday, 5th September, 2012 at 14:24 under the news in brief category, by Lyndsey Smith .
Norway Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Støre confirms negotiations between the Colombian authorities and FARC guerrillas will take place in the capital next month.
The conflict in Colombia has lasted over 50 years and around 1,000 people are killed each year.
Norway has previously held peace talks in Colombia but these had little success. The new talks will take place in Oslo at the beginning of October before moving on to Cuba.
President Juan Manuel Santos has said that Venezuela and Chile have also been appointed to oversee the talks. Norwegian diplomats have signed a document regarding the talks and a ceasefire.
"It must be emphasized that this is a starting line. Major, difficult and important questions await. However, there is also reason to be happy that the parties show courage and determination to tackle this through negotiations. This is still an armed and severe conflict, so we have to be realistic", Foreign Minister Støre told NRK.
