Apart from the ShiftSpace presentation, the other Pixelspaces talk i really enjoyed was by James Powderly and Evan Roth (US) from Graffiti Research Lab. They developed the project at eyebeam in New York.
I didn't get this project at all before ars electronica. I kind of read about it here and there and thought "mmmh! throwing luminous thingies at buildings? So what?" But i discovered during their talk that there's more behind G.R.L. and i liked what i heard. A lot (though i wasn't really convinced by the "let's throw some luminous thingies at the tram" performance.)
Roth explained that his fellowship at Eyebeam was based on a previous work: his thesis project at Parsons, the Graffiti Analysis system which makes visible the unseen movements of graffiti artists in the creation of a tag.
Powderly worked for a robotic company in New York and was until then thus only used to working on "leaving marks on the rocks on Mars.�
Their works has a lot to do with the hacking mentality. They don't define themselves as graffiti artists but rather as graffiti engineers, a bit in the style of Q, the gadget guy who devised accessories for James Bond. Their work is an extension of the graffiti and aims to provide graffiti writers, street artists and protesters with new tools in order to help them take back public space and challenge corporate culture. All their work is OS, that was one of the requirements to work at Eyebeam.
They gave us an overview of the works they found most inspiring:
Zoetropes, by the Toyshop Collective, repurposed bicycle wheels animated and inspired by the zoetrope, a XIXth century device that produces an illusion of action from a rapid succession of static pictures.
Darius Jones, a graffiti artist from Brooklyn, whose work is characterized by a perversion in the use of existing systems. He clearly has a certain eye for creating romance in unexpected places, making the city fall in love with itself. Street signs falling in love; images of the signage brought into 3D space, at street level; surveillance cameras surveilling themselves, etc.
Mark Jenkins, based in Washington DC, used mostly tape as its material. He leaves his tape kids all over the city as gifts to the world.
Such pieces are very temporal, they stay there only a few hours and their traces live on on the web. He ended up using LED Throwies as well (see his Jesus). His "embedded� works are a big success as well. For example his Homeless Guy makes us look back at ourselves and at how we interact with each other.
Banksy, "the exterior paint specialist�.
Both Banksy and Jenkins have taken over surveillance cameras.
They showed also images of Banksy's works in zoos. The artist is known for sneaking into the penguin enclosure at London Zoo and painting 'We're bored of fish- We wanna go home'.
Hacks in museum (some of the pieces he hung in some museum are now listed as part of the permanent collection. "Vandalized oil painting�. GRL showed some of Banksys's films. He tags up for a very interesting reasons. Apparently policemen wear caps that hide their eyebrows. Apparently eyebrows are such an expressive part of our face that it's best to leave them in the shadow. But it means that policemen cannot easily see what's up.
These artists have online equivalents: the Velvet Strike Team who conceptualized during the beginning of Bush's "War on Terrorism" a collection of spray paints to use as graffiti on the walls, ceiling, and floor of the popular network shooter terrorism game "Counter-Strike".
A walk series of stencils.
Graffiti artists use the web a lot to document their work. Which can lead to some problems as some of them have been arrested via their MySpace page, some have even been busted out of their MySpace page.
Now how does the work of Graffiti Research Lab fit into this?
They want to provide graffiti artists with the tools that would allow them to compete with corporate advertisers. Powderly even added that the most interesting things done using the throwies or the Night Writer have been done by others with the help of GRL sometimes (as with the Throwie Talkie, a Throwie hacked to blink graffiti messages in morse code, an idea of Pat & Ward Cunningham) but often without it. A search about throwies on google shows that it's not about GRL anymore.
Jose Luis de Vicente asked them about their concern for the sustainability of the Throwies (each of them is equipped with a tiny battery). GRL seemed to be very concerned with the problem. They developed a solar-powered throwie but as it's 7 times more expensive than the "regular" one, it wouldn't be affordable enough for artists. Usually throwies do not stay in the environment as people like to throw them then they want to take them back home as a souvenir. But here again comes the problem of recycling: do we know if these people recycle the batteries correctly?
GRL gave a second talk during the Forum I – Interactive Art presentations. You can download the podcast.
The theme of today at ars electronica was Going to the Country. So we went to the country, at the St. Florian Monastery of the Canons Regular of St. Augustine (!)
Quite nice if you like heavy architecture, queueing for ages to get some food and being pressed like a sardine in a room to hear the talks. The sound installations were great though. I particularly enjoyed the talks of the Pixelspaces panel (some of them at least).
At the end of the panel Maren Richter showed us a nice video from 2001.
Directed by Matt McCormick, The Subconscious Art of Graffiti Removal (video) documents the seemingly mundane job of graffiti removal. The movie humourously compares city workers' job to pain over existing graffiti to the works of abstract masters such as Mark Rothko, Kazimir Malevich and Robert Rauschenberg, dividing removal works into subcategories such as ghosting, symmetrical, and radical.
UPDATE: Reevo informs us that There's a great Secret Art Of Graffiti Removal group on flickr if you want to see more of this kind of thing.

Finland- and UK-based artist-researchers Loca were running their project in downtown San Jose. They had molded hollow concrete objects which they attached to various lamps, traffic lights and signposts. Being made of gray concrete makes them effectively invisible which is important because they contain sneaky cargo: inside, there's a mobile phone and a power source which lasts around a week. Using a custom software, the phone will continuously scan for devices that have bluetooth enabled and set to discoverable. Every occasion of a tracked device will be sent to the central database and archived there. At their booth they would print out a receipt-style list of the places you've been to which in my case was approximately 2 meters long, others were gigantic. Now here comes the fun part: Loca not only collects your data but also tries to combine it with the context of the "urban semantics" it is operating in and tries to draw conclusions from that. Having checked out a few shops and the park for instance, you would suddenly get the message: "You were in a flower shop and spent 30 minutes in the park; are you in love?ďż˝?.
Another thing that Loca do is the tagging of photos according to the electromagnetic context of the device at the time they were taken, i.e. the identities of the nearby bluetooth devices. The pictures they have been uploading to Flickr for some time now contain information about the presence of other's cameras, which already represents quite a history of social encounters, opening a wide field of possibilities for mining and combining the data. There was another work called BlueStates which apparently works in the same direction.
IN[ ]EX is a project by a Canadian art group which acts as a nice low-tech approach to the spread of digital information. Their piece consist of a shipping container with (initially) 3000 wooden blocks of various sizes attached to it with tiny magnets. There are also a few bigger ones that actually contain sensors for the smaller blocks. The setup has two functions: a sound installation inside the container which is being generated and influenced through the way that the small blocks are attached to the wall of the container and around the bigger, sensitive blocks. The other part is actually participatory since the artists ask visitors to pick a block and take it with them. Ideally, they should attach it to another metal surface in the city, spreading the installation all over the place. IN[ ]EX is meant to "explore the migration of capital, goods, and people through the ports and public spaces of Vancouver and San Jose", and the Canadian wood did migrate quite a lot. By the time this photo was taken, almost 1000 pieces were already gone and you would see them in the most absurd places, some people get really ambitious with these things.
The exhibition-space at South Hall in San Jose, being a giant temporary tent-like structure, was a bit remindful of the Cargolifter hangar close to Berlin, blimp and blimpsters included!
I usually try not to blog too often about the work of the same artist. But for some artists whose work i particularly appreciate, i just don't try too hard. That's why the name of Ricardo Miranda Zúñiga has popped up here and there in the blog. He creates both computer-generated art and sculptural vehicles to achieve powerful social metaphors that investigate issues of globalization.
If you're not familiar with his work yet, here's a few projects he developed: Vagamundo, a video game that depicts the plight of new immigrants from Latin America to the US. The game goes right into the streets to directly meet its public in the form of a ice cream cart, similar to those pushed by paleteros in major U.S. cities.
Nexum ATM (2003) hides a comment on U.S. imperialism inside a standard ATM machine.
The Public Broadcast Cart is a shopping cart outfitted with all the technical ingredients that enables any pedestrian to become an active producer of an audio broadcast. The audio stream is available to anyone online and simultaneously transmitted via speakers making the cart a temporary soap box for willing participants.
But the project that won me is Dentimundo which offers citizens of the U.S., a wealthy country where 42 million people do not have health benefits, help in finding affordable dental care just across the Mexican border. The website documents this micro-economy of cross-border dentistry. I liked the project for several reasons: it's very well documented, with plenty of humour, interviews and informative graphics. It opened my eyes on a reality i knew nothing of and added a new perspective on the Mexican/US border issue. Last reason is that i live in a country where dentists are still using tools and methods that come right from the '50s, so i have to take a plane to Brussels whenever i have a toothache (which unfortunately happens quite often.) But enough with my life and back to Miranda Zúñiga's.
He grew up between Nicaragua and San Francisco. This bicultural background extended into his artistic practice -- that investigates the divisive nature of capitalism and the social tools used to establish hegemony.
After receiving his MFA from Carnegie Mellon University in 1999, Ricardo Miranda Zúñiga started working at The College of New Jersey. He teaches Digital Arts, such as building interactive applications, Web Design and development (html, css, php, mysql, flash), computer graphics and so forth. In his second year there, he also introduced a Conceptual Art Studio class as a first year requirement in order to immediately introduce students to 20th Century avant-garde movements that may present intellectually rigorous and conceptually driven practices and -in his words- to get himself out of the computer lab.
How did passersby react to a work like Vagamundo?
Several passersby have first asked me what flavor ice cream I had. When I tell them that I don't have paletas but that I do have a free video game for them to play they are first surprised and then engage with the game or sometimes disappointedly continued on their search for a paleta. In general, children tend to immediately want to play the game and do so with no instruction. Adults however usually take some coaxing. Many will self-consciously try it out for a while, others will want to hear all about it, but then tell me that they are really bad at video games or wouldn't know what to do.
Were the immigrants happy with the way you portrayed their situations?
Yes and no. The protagonist of Vagamundo is the Mexican comedian Cantinflas or Mario Moreno, an iconic character in Latin America. I used Cantinflas, because Latin Americans can immediately recognize the game as a comic or satirical portrayal of the downtrodden. In this manner, most Latinos in the know recognize that the game uses entertainment to portray a difficult reality. Cantinflas is also painted onto the sides of the cart itself, Latinos on the street, see this, are drawn to it and then laugh whenthey see an animated version of Cantinflas being controlled in a videogame and then want to play.
In researching the project I worked with the Tepeyac Association and interviewed many new Latin American immigrants to gather a diverse set of perspectives on getting into the United States and then life in the U.S. The game portrays an amalgamation of these personal perspectives, not as recent immigrants view themselves, but rather as others stereotypically view them. People who have experienced illegal immigration recognize this stereotyping and tend to agree that they are viewed in that manner.
Also when presenting the project, I target wealthy neighborhoods in which most non-affluent immigrants are behind a kitchen, walking a stroller, or tending a deli's flower shop - they are hard at work, so not many new immigrant's have played the game on the street. The overwhelming majority of pedestrian players have been upper middle class and white, this is the intended audience.
There was one instance, during a presentation at Columbia University's MFA graduate studios that a two Latino students reacted negatively to the Cantinflas representation - to the fact that the protagonist at each level is slightly hunched over reflecting a subservient role. My response to them was that the project doesn't seek to create a positive image of how far Hispanics have come in the United States, which is the cosmetic image that main stream media does choose to represent. Rather, I seek to put the viewer/player in a game that will have her/him reflect upon the intense hardships of undocumented Latino immigrants as part of our labor force in the United States.
Do you show the work regularly? Also in non-artistic contexts?
I haven't shown Vagamundo in a couple years. When I first created the project, I primarily presented it at non-artistic contexts such as street festivals and randomly on sidewalks, in wealthy neighborhoods of Manhattan.
Another work that interacts with passersby in public space is the Public Broadcast Cart. The work invites pedestrians to become active producers of a radio broadcast. People are not used to undertake such an active role, are they willing to take the opportunity the cart offers? Do you get different kind of reaction according to the country or area where you show the Cart?
After having presented the Public Broadcast Cart in NYC, Linz, and Berlin, I'm convinced that high population density in Western cities creates a desire in individuals to be heard, to have their person or voice amplified. Whenever, I've made this project available in New York City, people immediately want to use it. The first time I presented it, I was most surprising. The Broadcast Cart was part of Wireless Park Lab Days, an NYC Wireless festival in Lower Manhattan's City Hall Park. A man who had just finished his gym work out, anxiously awaited an opportunity to use the cart. Once it became available, he took over the cart and played emcee for the following two hours, pushing the cart throughout the park, interviewing people and generating discussion - public radio.
In Linz, people actively used it because it was presented in the framework of the Ars Electronica Festival, and people wanted to participate with the art. Also it was Ars 2004, two months before the second Bush election. Non-U.S. citizens were interested in discussing these elections, particularly with an artist from the United States. So I accompanied the cart to generate greater use. Ideally, The Public Broadcast Cart is a tool that others use without my monitoring or emceeing, this has been the case in NYC, but in other cities people are more likely to use it if I am present for introduction and discussion.
Whenever presented, mounted on the cart is text that introduces the function of the cart as well as a questionnaire appropriate to the time and place where it is presented. When pedestrians take the time to read these texts they tend to participate and allows me to step away. However in Berlin, it wasn't getting much use, except by street
To return to your question, yes, in each instance, depending on country and context, the placement and reaction to the cart has varied.
I grew up in Belgium, in a city inhabited by many children of Italian and Moroccan immigrants. Most of them told me how they felt like they didn't belong to any country in particular, neither Belgium nor Italy or Morocco. However i always felt so much envy for their "double identity". Are you grateful for it or do you find it difficult to handle as well? How does your bi-cultural background feed your work?
I'm very grateful for my "double identity," I think there was period when I had a hard time with it, but that was from the age of 14-16, long ago. Today, I enjoy traveling through Latin America where people assume I'm entirely Nicaraguan. Also much of my work is grounded in having grown up between the two countries and seeing the incredible differences.
The project that impressed me most is Dentimundo. It's extremely well documented. What is its aim beyond being extremely informative? Isn't the situation it exposes mostly a win-win one?
Dentimundo seeks to function as a creative documentary with a functional purpose (such as the list of licensed dentists that one may visit). It presents a win-win situation, however underlying the win-win situation are negative elements of capitalism and globalization that the project seeks to expose. Also in North America there are many people with misinformed perceptions of Mexico and its medical industry. The site with all its documentation seeks to expel some of these misconceptions.
Most of your works investigate current sociopolitical issues. Some of them are sculptural vehicles, others are on screen. What is the respective power and/or role of these approaches? How do you decide which medium will best suit a particular issue?
The decision as to what medium will best suit a particular issue depends on a variety of variables. I'm interested in creating work that combines aesthetics with critical perspectives but that is also somehow functional to others. So the decision of medium may depend on the community that the project targets, how the work can best be utilized by others, in what context it can establish the most powerful gesture or in what context it can establish a lively discussion...
Public Radio should be on the street and available for anyone to use, Upper East Side homeowners should acknowledge the reality of the kitchen staff who washes their dishes, and US citizens without medical or dental insurance should be aware of near by alternatives. Recently a Canadian emailed me with the following message: "Please Mention that Canada has NO dental insurance OTHER than private insurance that is VERY limited and virtually useless. The cost of Dentistry is on par with the United States and the situation is just as bad."
In general, I prefer work that is not only on the screen. I enjoy unexpected situations in physical space, however information tends to travel best over the web. So I use the web to share my research and at
Which pieces of advice would you give to artists who want to engage with social, cultural or political issues?
I think it's important to carefully inform oneself of the various perspectives concerning issues in any public arena, and not through secondary or tertiary sources, but by actually speaking with people directly involved. In doing so, the work is likely to establish greater depth and sensitivity.
What are you working on now?
I'm reorganizing FALLOUT What's Left for an installation in a branch of the Miami-Dade Public Library System, a branch in a predominantly Nicaraguan neighborhood. I'd also like to take all the submission to the FALLOUT website, along with the graphics, and research and translate it into book form. I feel that there are several submissions that are powerful and present personal histories and current perspectives that are ignored. A few of my favorite submissions are:
I'm also starting a long term project concerning the social constructions behind the term and concept of freedom.
Any artist from Nicaragua whom you think should get more attention from the public?
I like the work of Ernesto Salmeron, a conceptually based artist that uses video, installation, and public intervention. He is currently investigating the erasure of Nicaragua's revolutionary history. I also like the work of more established artists Patricia Villalobos and Patricia Belli.
Artist Karolina Sobecka gave me a ride in her car yesterday, which she is driving around as part of her performative installation Wildlife. On the backseat of the car there is a powerful projector which is beaming a tiger on whatever happens to be parallel to the car. The animation of the cat is directly linked to the speed of the car, so when Karolina hits the throttle, the tiger starts running along as if on a leash, leaving behind baffled pedestrians. There are also sensors for cars that pull up in direct proximity which will also be represented by smaller animals.
To her, the tiger is like an avatar to the car which creates a poetic juxtaposition between the "grittiness" of the city and and the luminescent figure of the cat on the wall. She wants to remind people of how much most technologies draw both their inspriration and (quite literally) power from nature. Another aspect is the fact of our relation to nature within the cities and potentially predatory animals that are coming to the cities, like the coyotes of Los Angeles or the bear that recently appeared in Germany. How much of nature would we really want to have around us?
Being one of the recent drive-by-projection projects (see related links) and being exhibited in California, it's almost ironic that the animals return through cars to San Jose.

Conflux, the annual New York festival for contemporary psychogeography, will take place in Brooklyn, NYC, September 14-17.
At Conflux, participants turn NYc into a playground, a laboratory and a space for the development of new networks and communities. All events are free and open to the public. They include walks and tours, lectures, workshops, street games and tech-enabled expeditions, interactive performance, public art installations, movies, etc.
I've spotted a few interesting projects in the programme:
2.4GHz scape (image on the left), by Sawako Kato, will let audiences experience the realtime sonification of 2.4GHz signal (spectrum used for WiFi, microwave ovens, bluetooth, baby monitors, cordless game controllers etc.) around the place. People will also be invited to join the soundscape using their laptop or bluetooth devices such as the mobile phones to make the signal interference.
The Anti-Advertising Agency's Portable Sound Units are small sound-systems triggered only when pedestrians pass by them. They playback on-the-street interviews with the public about their opinions on outdoor advertising. Sara Dierck, Michael Dodge, and Steve Lambert from the AAA conducted hours of audio interviews about issues surrounding outdoor advertising with the public but also with selected individuals in the fields of advertising, conservation, and social criticism. They compiled and edited down the interviews into very short clips that raise questions about the role of advertising in culture. During Conflux, the units will be temporarily installed in various locations around the festival and area streets.
Also on the programme: Sue Huang's Street Cut-ups that uses text found on the street and remixes it to find surprising new meanings; Caroline Woolard will affix "seats� into the u-channel of the no parking and stop sign posts implanted in the sidewalk; Toby Lee and Fotini Lazaridou-Hatzigoga will invite you to freeze for 5 minutes; etc.
Another Glowlab production: The Drift Relay , a collaborative psychogeographic experience in the form of a 24 hour relay-style exploration of San Jose, will kick off next week at ISEA: Tuesday, August 08, 10am - Wednesday, August 09, 10am.

Proxy Changer1.0
editor's review
Proxy Changer is a small application that allows you to switch between proxy servers with just a few clicks.
The program keeps an icon in the System Tray and based on user-defined preferences, it allows you to change the proxy settings on your system on the go.
Proxy Changer impresses mostly thanks to the simplicity it provides, with a minimal interface that displays nothing else besides the proxy name, address and port.
Each proxy server needs to be manually added to the list, so users are required to configure their very own list of proxies before being able to enjoy Proxy Changer's features.
Everything's pretty easy and although configuring proxy servers might scare away some users, it all comes down to writing down a name, an address and a port.
Once you're done with your proxy list, set the default one, as well as the alternate one and you're ready to go.
Although we admit that Proxy Changer does an excellent job, more configuration tools, including wider browser support, would be a great addition. At this moment, Proxy Changer works exclusively with Internet Explorer, so Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome are not supported.
Proxy Changer runs on very low computer resources, but on Windows 7 the application can't be minimized to tray, so it stays in the Task Bar all the time.
All in all, Proxy Changer can come in handy to users who access the Internet using multiple proxies. Switching from one configuration to another is a breeze, mostly thanks to its simplicity.

The customers affected paid about £25 a year to protect themselves against their cards being lost or stolen.
But such cover was already provided by their banks. As a result, some people may be able to claim as much as £270. Read more at the BBC News.

I'm inserting a cms static block via a widget instance - and I'd like to output the static block title as well as it's content, from within my widget template. The default template (app/design/frontend/base/default/template/cms/widget/static_block/default.phtml) simply has:
<?php echo $this->getText(); ?>
I changed that to getData() instead to see what it was possible to grab, which is the following:
[type] => cms/widget_block
[block_id] => 11
[module_name] => Mage_Cms
[text] => blahblahblah
So I'm guessing the only way is to use the block_id to get the title, but can't quite figure out how. I can grab the block_id from there with $this->getBlockId() - but then how do I use that to get the title?
I thought the following might work but it doesn't:
$blockid = $this->getBlockId();
$blocktitle = Mage::getModel('cms/page')->load($blockid, 'block_id')->getTitle();

Plaque dedicated in honor of beach activists
The plaque rock is located at the turnaround circle of the parking lot of Bonita Beach Park, where Bonita Springs Councilman Bob Wagner hopes everyone will drive by it when they visit the beach
Next time you're lying out or enjoying a sunset on Bonita Beach, think about Marge and Dave Ward.
Or when you are sitting in traffic on Bonita Beach Road and wondering why all these people chose Bonita as the hot place to be, think Marge and Dave.
Or as you're picking up shells on Bonita Beach instead of pieces of broken glass, you could give a quick shout-out to the Wards.
You might even want to write them a note.
"Their legacy will live long, long into the future," Lee County Commissioner Ray Judah said.
Although most people point to the Bonita Bay Group's arrival in 1984 as the birth of modern Bonita Springs, the turnaround of Bonita Beach along nearly the same timeline was certainly the vehicle for that change.
And the greatest stewards of the beach over the past 21 years have been Marge and Dave Ward.
"The beach has come a long way since then," Marge Ward said. "Back then, there wasn't even a driveway; you just parked in the sand and prayed you could get out."
After moving from Buffalo, N.Y., to Bonita Springs for warm weather and what they thought were beautiful beaches, the Wards found Bonita Beach difficult to access for the general public and dirty from people who treated the sand like a town dump.
Because they didn't want the county to clean the beach with money collected from fees charged to beachgoers, in 1985 the Wards founded the Citizens Association of Bonita Beach, a group of volunteers dedicated to cleaning the beach, creating and improving the public accesses and finding new places the public could enjoy the surf, sand and sun.
"We owe Marge and Dave Ward a debt of gratitude," Bonita Springs Councilman Bob Wagner said. "These beaches are clean."
As the Wards pass the torch in their volunteer efforts, the city and the county have been honoring their accomplishments for the past two months.
For Bonita Springs, the celebration culminated Wednesday with the dedication of a plaque embedded in a rock at Bonita Beach Park at the first access along Hickory Boulevard.
"Everything has been terrific and very much appreciated, but it is not just us. We started it, but it was all the people that came out with us that really made the difference," Marge Ward said. "Everybody that ever worked with us, they are part of it too."
The plaque rock is located at the turnaround circle of the parking lot of Bonita Beach Park, where Wagner hopes everyone will drive by it when they visit the beach.
"It is one of the dedications that is the highlight of my six year career as a councilman," Wagner told the group of 25 people who gathered for the event Wednesday.
The rock will not be the last honorarium the Wards have at Bonita Beach. Lee County commissioners are planning to dedicate a park bench somewhere in the vicinity of the plaque, Judah said.
The memorial will be approved in the next two weeks, he said, and the exact location and time of its placement will follow.
"Back in 1985, we were just taking it day by day," Marge Ward said. "We didn't know it would turn out like it has."
CABB has scaled back its efforts to maintain the beaches and accesses in recent years as Lee County Parks and Recreation has become a good steward of Bonita Beach, Marge Ward said.
"It is organized now and very much improved," she said.

"Fantastic Villa!"
Villa Jasmine, is a beautiful villa with all amenities. The swimming pool and views were amazing. We enjoyed nights in having bbqs and nights out locally. I think it is definitely an advantage to have a car to get around. The weather was fantastic. Nina was very helpful in providing information. I would love to visit Villa Jasmine in the future!

"We had a fantastic holiday, the pool and villa location so close to the sea were excellent. Highly recommended."
Villa Jasmine was a perfect location for a relaxing holiday. The views from the property are stunning and access to the sea from the diving boards was an added benefit within walking distance. Staff at the local hotels were very accomodating and we enjoyed several pleasant meals there. The villa is very well presented and met all of our needs. The pool was great and the kids spent hours enjoying it. Kas town 5 to 10 minutes by car is busy and vibrant and offers a more authentic experience than some of the other resorts visited further west. Restaurants are good with a great variety of cuisines. Local people are very friendly and helpful. I would recommend Villa Jasmine and would love to stay again when we return to Turkey.

This seems to have come out of no where. I haven't suffered any injury to the area. I also haven't had sex in over a year so I ruled out any possible STDs.
I went to see a urologist today and he didn't seem very helpful. He did an ultrasound of my bladder and prostate and said they looked normal. He tested my urine and said everything looked normal. He prescribed me Meloxicam for the pain but it hasn't done anything to mitigate it so far. I was taking aspirin before going to see him. He seemed to think it could be a prostate infection - but the location of the pain doesn't seem consistent with a prostate issue to me as a layman.
I'm wondering what my next steps need to be. Based on online research I'm worried it may be early stages of Peyronie's - but that is mostly just based on the pain with no other symptoms at this point. There is no abnormal curvature or lumps at this point. However, I read that in 40% of cases, pain is the first symptom.
Any other ideas of a possible diagnosis and how to confirm / deny? Do I need to get an ultrasound of the penis?
Any help is appreciated.View Thread
And thanks for advance on any help you can offer,
I'm 44 and 4 weeks ago I went to the doctor for UTI symptoms, had burning when I pee, temperature etc, test was done and both dipstick test and culture where positive, was given trimethoprim 200mg for 5 days, symptoms went almost immediately and all was well, had a clean culture test the docs the day after I finished the antibiotics, then about a week after I finished the antibiotics the symptoms returned, I thought maybe it was just the irritation from the infection and left it until I could bear it no more, it got worse one night and i was passing blood with extreme stinging in the prostate area and I went to the hospital, dipstick test was positive and I was given nitorfurantoin for 10 days, symptoms went almost immediately and stayed that way for the course (although I did have a painful ejaculation after about 5 days). I finished those antibiotics on the Tuesday and by Friday my symptoms had returned albeit very mild, I went to the docs and a dipstick test was clean, as was a culture test that was sent to the hospital. I went home, the next day my sister in law (who is a nurse) did another dipstick test for me and it was postiive and i went to the hospital again as my doctors was shut and they also did a positive(albeit mildly positive) dipstick test, I was given 500mg kelfex three times a days for 7 days, I am on day 7 and I have very mild prostate symptoms again (erection last night cause stinging in prostrate area for about 30 mins, and I've had intermittent very mild burning in that area when urinating) and I'm expecting symptoms to get worse after the antibiotics cease ...
My question is could this be prostratitus ? any other advice greatly appreciated thanks

The appointment has just come back stating MRI of Pelvis which I thought would refer to the bone structure rather than the specific organs contained within.

What could it be now ? Could it be related to the epi being removed and if the epi was removed why is there a bunch of cord feeling stuff in there, it feels like it's attached to one of the chords that run down by the testicle.

I went to see my doctor, and she said it was a yeast infection and prescribed nystatin and triamcinolone acetonide cream. I used them for about three weeks but the rash did not go away. So, then I tried clotrimazole for about two weeks and still no results.
Please help. I don't know what to try next. I was thinking of using an antibacterial soap, but I'm not sure.
The shape of the rash looks like jock itch but it is not red at all.
Does anyone know what it is and suggestions for treating it?
Any advice would help. Thanks.View Thread
I'll start by saying I am 19 years old, have not had sex so I would rule out an std causing this. Basically for about 4-5 months now my left testicle has enlarged and swollen. It started with mild to medium swelling and was painful for about the first month. Taking just an Advil would relieve the pain so I was hoping it would just be a temporary issue. Lately, the pain has completely stopped but the enlarged testicle has not went away. I know this can be cancer but I don't think I am at a big risk. Cancer does not run in my family, and the thing is that the growth has gotten slightly smaller. My right testicle is completely fine, and it feels like the growth continues to shrink. I know this is impossible to diagnose here but how likely is it a mild issue such a hydrocele and how likely is this testicular cancer? If it was cancer, wouldn't the growth keep getting bigger instead of smaller? I don't have insurance or any money to visit a doctor but I will try to as soon as I can.View Thread
I noticed on another post regarding those who take Adderall (I pasted the link below). Many many people who were prescribed Adderall (especially time released) developed these same symptoms called "blue ball"
Below is the link to the forum with many people who have similar or exact symptoms as the symptoms on this forum. This is definately not a case of being paranoid. This problem is very scary because we know our body better than anybody else, and we know when changes in our body become abnormal. I hope this post helps many people who have sought sound advice (who are also prescribed Adderall, which is frequently used). To those who like to give sarcastic advice with no solutions: You are no help for real people with real problems who are looking for real solutions, rather than to "deal with it." People know their body, and you are of no help, regardless how many posts you make, and eventually turn and act like you care. All along, your empty posts just caused frustrations. Even as a reader, it caused frustrations to the point where I overlooked your comments.

Age: 27
Sex: M
Height: 6'1"
Weight: 155lb
Race: White
Duration of complaint: 2 or 3 months?
Any existing relevant medical issues (if any): see below
Current medications (if any): Wellbutrin SR 150mg
For the past few months I've been having trouble starting the flow of urine. It's only about 10% of the time, and it does start after a few seconds, but it' starts out slightly painful and kinda strained. It basically feels like my internal urethral sphincter is having trouble letting go, and when it does it goes slowly and hurts a little.
Possibly coincidentally, a few months ago I also started taking Wellbutrin for the first time. I wish I could tell you which came first, but I honestly can't remember.
Also possibly related, and also for the past few months, I've been having sexual dysfunction. My sex drive is through the floor, I have difficulty getting or maintaining an erection when I try to force it, and I'm prematurely ejaculating. I think these symptoms started after the Wellbutrin, but again I'm not sure. I would assume a connection there, but my doc tells me that Wellbutrin is pretty unlikely to cause problems like that.
Now wondering what is related to what. Maybe the pills aren't doing anything, and the two symptoms are a sign of something else? Or am I just having an unusual reaction to the drug?
Any thoughts? Are there other symptoms I may have just dismissed that might give you more information?View Thread
I'm 24 & have been intensively & frequently masturbating for some time. One day my penis get swollen & redden so I stopped with it. Now, over month later (~5 weeks) it
looks to heal but really slow. Most redden & swoll on skin got away. But I'm concerned that quarter ring swell doesn't seem to fade away. It's soft, fleshy and under skin (moving skin doesn't move it). Generally this is not hurting but
seems sensitive to touch. After some internet research I'm terrified that I could have initiated Peyronie disease. I know that for PD lump should be hard and firm but
I'm propably in early stage when plaque is forming? My erections currently seems to be ok & straight (seems because it's hard to get erect when you just want to check if everything is all
right...). 2 weeks ago I have been at urologist and after examination he said he doesn't see anything wrong
What do you think?
Please reply I'm really worried. Thank you.

[br>I am a male who has just noticed an enlarged region to the right of my pubic symphysis (right pubic tubercle). The enlarged region is located just above and to the right of the shaft of my penis. I cannot tell you all whether or not this has been an issue for a long time, as I just noticed today how truly disproportionate the right side of my pubic symphysis is to the left. [br>[br>The region is enlarged when I am in a standing position, flex my abdominal muscles, lean back, or sit down with good posture. I experience no pain when I touch the region. What freaks me out is the fact that I can push down on the enlarged region and feel something move up and into my lower abdomen. After releasing pressure, it takes a few seconds for whatever is in there to fall back into position and cause the region to become enlarged once more. There is no pain in my testicles, abdomen, or shaft. [br>[br>I am not nor have I been sexually active. I am someone who works out 3 to 4 days a week, lifting weights and doing some light jogging and biking. I have only noticed this problem within the past week, but it has become very noticeable and I need to figure out what is wrong.
I am very worried that the issue is a tumor or an inguinal hernia... both things that may require surgical attention. I am very young and I am in great shape, so I have no idea how I would develop a hernia in this region (unless working out has something to do with it).
[br>I have a picture of just the region that is giving me trouble that I can post if necessary.
Thank you for reading my post; any insight is greatly appreciated!View Thread

I talked to the urologist who performed my circumcision (which did nothing to reduce my yeast infection symptoms) and he said that my testicles should regain their former size in about 6 months. It's been 6 months - they've only gotten worse. In addition, my penis and strength has reduced. I've continued to lose lean weight, even my mom noticed that my arms weren't as thick as they used to be. I'm 28 years old.
What the hell is wrong with me? Is there anything that can be done? I am extremely depressed over this. Doctors have been utterly useless.View Thread

Ok for one night
The room was ok for one night; clean, but needs refurbishment as it is quite old.
Bed was ok-ish but linen had some marks on it. It has thin walls so you can hear the shower next door and the bathroom had a bit of mould in it. Also the shower was very awkwardly placed so not much room and you have to be careful as the water will easily splash out. The mirror and cupboard were in an awkward place so not much natural light if you want to use the mirror. The man who welcomed us in the evening was not particularly friendly but the waiter who took our order in the morning at breakfast was lovely and the full English breakfast was nice.

Pleasant hotel
A good quality hotel pub.
Feel that the rooms were an afterthought to the main business. Booked 2 rooms but when arrived confusion as they had only reserved one room. Rooms cold as no central hearing, they have electric fires but would be nice if they put these on before guests arrive to heat the room. When you turn up you need to get heating going which means rooms are cold. Opposite the main train station so can be noisy early in the morning. Rooms comfortable and showers hot. Breakfast ok but no juices offered and can be slow. Very clean. Bar offers good food and good range if beers.

Warm welcome, excellent service and great food - good nights sleep even though we were opposite a train station.
Room could do with a bit of a make over - looked like it had had a hard life (cracked sink and scuff marks on walls). Over all great value for money. Will use again if in the area. Oh, and they serve Thatchers Gold - bonus!. :-)

Not as good as i expected.
Room was dirty in places, window and carpets were the worst.
My room was by the Kitchen extractor which was noisy to say the least until about 10.30pm and kicked in again in the morning, also there was a smell of food whilst it was running. Needs some nice touches adding to the room and some TLC as well as a good clean to bring it up to a decent standard. On the plus side the food was really nice and Tasty and not over priced, staff were also very helpful.
