A Non Fiction topic I like are animals. To be more specific, zebras. I like zebras because they seem so graceful and I think they're pretty. I'm interested in this topic because they are my favorite animal and that I like to learn things. I already know that the Swahili name for zebras is Punda Milia. Another thing I know is that a Burchell's zebra is 45 to 55 inches at the shoulder. Grevy's can be 50 to 60 inches to the shoulder. The lifespan of a zebra is 40 years in capacity. Zebras usually live woodland areas around open plains. The animal zebra is a herbivore and is prey to hyenas, leopards, lions, hunting dogs, and cheetahs.

The type of nonfiction I like is sports. I like sports because I'm very athletic and I like to learn about different sports. Sports are also interesting because I like to hear what interviewers and comentaters have to say about the games and other things. I already know a lot about different sports like baseball, soccer, basketball, etc. like the longest home run ever hit was 555ft. from home plate at the Minnesota Twins stadium and Shaq dunked and broke a goal, and a lot of other stuff. I also know the score of almost every game played recently and what happens during the games, I always pay attention to the games.

Specific nonfiction topics I like are phenominomes. My favorite one is called the Devil's Tramping Ground. It is a circle in the middle of the woods. No plant life can grow in the circle or near the circle. Peole camp there and when they wake up they are somewhere out of the circle. There are a whole lot more but this one is the one I know the most about.

My favorite type of nonfiction is history. I like to know about things in the past that I didn't already know. My favorite type of history is during slavery and civil rights times. I like to learn about them because I'm learning about African- American history. I've always liked reading about history because I like to know what happened in the past and what life was like before I was born.

I like things that have to do with the supernatural. At first I thought this would mostly be fiction but then I realized that most of what I'm interested in is also historical which is not fiction. I like reading about ghosts who seem to appear around different battles and periods, like the US Civil War, and World War I and II and other battles. Much of the nonfiction information I'm interested in focuses on how people lived in the past, the way they dressed and talked, how they survived without the medicine we have today and stuff like that. I'd like to read The Diary of Anne Frank. She was a girl not that much older than me who spent World War II living in an attic with her family for several years. I guess I like both fiction and nonfiction.

My favorite nonfiction topic is ww2. I like this topic because it is interesting on how the sides had spys and how they traveled underground. Also my great grandad was the captin of a destoyer. I think the number was 99. The bad part was when the japs. had prison camps. If any americans were spotted the japs. would try to capture them and put them into the prison camps. Also the americans had camps too. When pearl harbor was attacked the usa put all japanese americans into internment camps. These camps were not prison camps.

I like many nonfiction article topics but my favorite topic is Marine Biology. Spefically I like the deep ocean that we Know little about. Why? I like the deep sea because it has the most amazing creatures that have adapted to their enviroment. Most of these creatures have adapted to their dark, cold, under pressure enviroment by using lights to mate and find prey. What do I know? Not much since scientist do not know much about this topic cause it is impossible for a human to survive the pressure of water above. I do know a few animals though such as the Deeep Sea Angler who uses a light dangling over its head as bait to catch its prey.
Marine Biology is the study of under water ecosystems. :)

I like cats because they think that they are BIG STRONG but some are little weak. my favorite types of wild cats are ocelots because they are cool and i also like tigers because they are BIG STRONG. I like dogs because if they are pets they are loyal to their owners (unlike cats) and they are nice. My favorite type of wild dog is a wolf because they are cool and my favorite type of domestic dog is a cockapoo. I know alot of stuff about dogs. they are fun to play with and are very loyal but cats are funny because the small cats think they are BIG STRONG so they will pounce on stupid things like rocks or paper or moving grass.

I really like to read about greek and roman gods. My favorite is greek gods. I like greek gods because they are more friendly and the demigod heros have better and more interesting stories. The roman gods are more like war gods because in mythology the roman gods have been known to kill humans for the fun of it. Some of the roman gods have the same name as the planets. I like percy jackson because it is about greek gods.

I like some nonfiction but my favorite topic in nonfiction is science-fiction. I like science-fiction becuase it could be about 17 different things from aliens-to-robots. And the best part about it it contains fiction and nonfiction! Science-Fiction is a genre that is dealing with stuff that could happen, but are pobably not really going to. The modern day Science-Fiction was made during the Industrial Revolution, and will not be replaced by a new type soon.
I love watching the winter olympics, Bobsled spicificly. The reason I like Bobsled so much is because it looks fun and its an interesting sort of sled. Bobsleds are extremely fast. They can hold 2 to 4 people. That's all I know. I can't wait to ride one.

A general nonfiction topic I really like is amusement
park rides and attractions. A specific topic is roller coasters.
I have always loved to ride rides, it is so fun. Some things I
know about roller coasters are: There are two types of roller
coasters, wooden and steel coasters. Another thing I know
about roller coasters is that some coasters have metal sides
and then when you go over special tracks you will go
shooting very fast. Then sometimes you'll go shooting
toward the sky upward afterward. (An example is Sky
Rocket at Kennywood in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.)
These are the special tracks that make you go really
(Kennywood, Pennsylvania)
This is Sky Rocket after it went over the special tracks.
This is an indoor roller coaster with a cart that can spin.
This roller coaster is called Thunderbolt.
This one is called Griffon. It hangs at the beginning of a
205 foot drop for about 5 seconds then it drops straight
(Busch Gardens, Virginia)
This is a roller coaster with a corkscrew, it's called
(Sea World, Florida)
This roller coaster is called Manta. On this coaster you
hang by your back while riding the coaster.
This is another part of the coaster called Krakin.
They make roller coasters for little kids too.

I'm interested in spacecraft. My favorite is SpaceShipTwo, the flagship of Virgin Galatic. I like this topic because they are bringning us closer to the future, and I like SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE! I know that the first maned spaceship was Vistok 1, the ball like space craft that went up into orbit, with Gigarin inside. The first reusible spacecraft to be made was the Enterprise, the shuttle that never went into space, but was operational(it was a prototype). You can see it in the DC. The first Shuttle to go into space is no longer with us, it tragicly failed on its last voyage. You can go into SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE to, on SpaceShipTwo, for the low price of $200,000!

My favorite non-fiction topics are ocelots. I'm really intrested in ocelots cause I got to visit the zoo and see one. I'm also feel very sad for ocelots scientest think these bigcats may die out before I get to college. Another reason I like learning about ocelots is there beautiful coat patterns. I already know that ocelots look like very large house cats with stripes and spots all over. Ocelots live near dry areas they usually eat small mammals in their habitat. One reason these cats are so endangered is their beautiful coat patterns. There are many plaes that try to help ocelots one is the local Carnivore Preservation Trust I hope that people can help save ocelots instead of killing them.

Something that I like talking about that's nonfiction is one of my favorite animals the cheetah. I am interestead in this animal because it's super fast and strong and I love animals like that. I know that it has legs that strech really far to catch their pray. They also have brown spots.
Cheetahs are best known for their incredible speed, the cheetah being the fastest recorded mammal on land. Cheetahs do lack climbing abilities though meaning that the cheetah needs to use its super speed to its advantage. Cheetahs have been known to reach speeds of up to 75km and can accelerate from 0 to 60 faster than most modern day cars, that's pretty much all I know.

I'm interested in technology (robots) and veicles because I like to learn how they work. The more advanced, the better. Another reason is the things they can do. The other reason is that without technology, our lives would be very different. Technology is like our imagination, but a reality. For example, people used to think man couldn't fly, it was only in the imagination, but the Wright Brothers made this happen. The world of technology has gotten better and larger over the years. I already know that one day people will invent somthing that is super amazing, that now it would only exist in imagination.

I think that myology is cool. My favorite type of mythology is Greek Mythology, my second favorite is Egytion Mythology. Some gods that Ancient Greeeks belived in that I can name off the top of my head are Zeus, Hades, Piosedon, Athena, Meduesa and Hercules. I also know one of the stories about the Greek gods that Ancient Greeks belived and told was that Meduesa was once beautiful and good, but she was falling in love with Athena's brother, Hurculeas, and Athena was jeluos of all the attention Meduesa was getting, so Athena put an everlasting and unbrakeable spell on Meduesa. Meduesa wanted reveng, which drove her into evil. I would like to learn about more Greek gods and Egyption gods (and their names to). I do not belive in mythology, but I think it is an interesting topic.

With both Derrick Henry and Derrick Green in Knoxville last weekend on official visits Tennessee also had another big-time back on campus as four-star running back A.J. Turman was in Knoxville for an unofficial visit.Like many other prospects in attendance the 6-foot, 205-pound Turman was impressed with the atmosphere when the Vols hosted the Gators."It was good. Me and my mom enjoyed ourselves. We flew out there and had a good time. That was our first time at a game at Tennessee," Turman said. "It was crazy. The environment was really loud. It was crazy. I had a good time. I never thought it would be like. I never knew the stadium got that crowded. It was just real crowded and it was crazy. I really liked it."Turman visited Tennessee in the summer unofficially and got to know Jay Graham and Darin Hinshaw, the coaches recruiting him to Tennessee and although he didn't have too much time to visit with the Tennessee coaches he was able to get a quick conversation in with them."I got to talk to the running backs coach and coach Hinshaw. I didn't get to talk to them that much, but I talked to them a little bit," Turman said. "They told me to watch the running backs and how they did everything and how I would fit into their program and everything."After watching the Tennessee backs against Florida, Turman said he could see himself fitting into the Vols' offense."I could myself in their system. I liked how they use their running back. They give them the ball a lot. I could see myself playing there," Turman offered.Turman has had a busy few weeks, visiting Tennessee and then visiting Florida State for their win over Clemson. He compared both crowds and said Neyland Stadium housed a rowdier bunch."I just got back from FSU Sunday. It was crazy, too," Turman. "Tennessee was louder, though."Turman's in no hurry to get to a decision and plans on taking his official visits after the season and it's looking like the Vols will receive one."I'm still taking my unofficials. I don't know when I'm going to take my officials because I'm still during my football season. It's easy for me to go to one place for a day, but it's hard for me to take my officials. I might wait until after the season," Turman said. "I'll go to Tennessee for an official. Tennessee, I think Georgia, maybe FSU. I don't know."Even thought he won't take his officials for some time Turman is still taking in everything and knows what he's looking for on his visits."I'm looking at how I could fit into their program and also I'm looking at my position coaches because that's who I'll be around most of the time, and the other running backs they already have there," Turman said. "And the education." ...More... To continue reading this article you must be a member. Sign Up Now!

Most of the excuses we make up make it hard for our life on this earth. Everything that really matters we make excuses for: excuses why we won't go to school, why we don't listen to our parents, why we don't stay out of trouble, why we end up in jail, why we have a criminal record, why we have felonies. More excuses: I don't have a job because I won't work for less than $10 an hour. I don't have a job because no one will give me a chance. If you don't listen to your parents and drop out of school, your chances of being successful are slim to none without education. Continue Reading →
No More Excuses
Too many have sacrificed for us to give up now

Gloves and Mitts
"If it doesn't fit, you must acquit." This became the famous phrase that Johnnie Cochran used to persuade the jury that his client, O.J. Simpson, was not guilty of murdering his ex-wife and her friend. He argued that since the murderer's gloves didn't fit Mr. Simpson, he could not have possibly have committed the murder. The jury may have required a lot of convincing, but you don't need a lawyer to tell you that you should check out our great collection of gloves and mitts to accessorize your costume for your next Halloween event or theme party.

Many popular characters wear gloves with their outfits. This includes superheroes, video game characters, clowns, horror movie villains, ninjas, flappers, princesses, and bikers. If you are dressing up as any of these types of characters for your next costume event, then chances are that you need a pair of gloves to complete your outfit. A superhero costume like Iron Man or Spider-Man just wouldn't be complete without a pair of gloves. Characters from Super Mario Bros. also need those cartoon gloves to complete their looks, and we bet you can't even picture Mickey Mouse without his big white gloves.
While a pair of gloves seems to be the norm, there are characters and personalities that go against the grain and break away from the two-glove style. For example, Michael Jackson made the one-glove look extremely fashionable – even to the point where people didn't want to buy both gloves anymore. He usually wore a single white glove or a silver sequin glove, which always seemed to fit so well with his outfit. Another character who became popular for wearing a single glove is the antagonist from the Nightmare on Elm Street series, Freddy Krueger. His single finger-claw glove is enough to give any child nightmares.

- Title
- Watching, writing and control: 'Atonement'
- Author(s)
- McFarlane, Brian
- Abstract
- When it comes to the film version of an admired noveI, I want to suggest that it is easy to make unreasonable demands, such as a dogged adherence to character, event and idea, when it might be more reasonable to ask: what makes an exciting adaptation? How far has this particular film made something new and stimulating from the original novel? How far does it make us reconsider that original, whose quality (and qualities) remain(s) unchanged by any number of adaptations? These thoughts are suggested by the British film version of 'Atonement' (Joe Wright, 2007) and its relation to Ian McEwan's award-winning novel.

My People's Prayer Book, Vol 3: P'sukei D'zimrah (Morning Psalms)
These books are not meant to be read, they are meant to be `engaged in.` Much of it is fashioned after the Talmud, with prayer text in the center of the page surrounded by modern commentaries. In this way it is meant to be browsed or read more deeply by turning to a continuation of the commentaries on selected pages. Commentators include Marcia Falk, Marc Brettler, Lawrence Kushner, Judith Plaskow, Nehemia Polen, Judith Hauptman, and Elliot N. Dorff.

Six months after regulators uncovered pesticide, security and other violations at the Wellness Connection of Maine, the state's largest medical marijuana dispensary operator says it has improved its business practices and its relations with employees. With just 3,000 medical marijuana patients at its four locations, Wellness Connection still has the capacity to double in size, and a Portland referendum to legalize recreational marijuana could soon play a role. Susan Sharon reports.
The Portland dispensary on Congress Street is the largest of the Wellness Connection locations, but if you're not paying close attention you can easily drive past it. And unless you're an authorized patient or a pre-approved guest you can forget getting beyond a series of locked doors.
Inside the dispensary is a large, sunlit day room with comfortable leather sofas and chairs, a counter where medical marijana strains are sold and a shelf containing herbal teas, topical remedies for skin conditions, marijuana recipe books and aromatic candles to help patients sleep.
"We believe in full spectrum wellness not just selling marijuana," says Patricia Rossi, the chief operating officer of the Wellness Connection. Rossi says the company has learned a lot in the past two years. The biggest lesson came in March when a consent agreement was signed with the state.
Wellness Connection had been cited for a series of violations mostly related to the use of low-risk pesticides which were outlawed at the time. The law has recently been changed to allow their use, but Rossi says Wellness Connection hasn't needed them in its Auburn grow facility.
"We don't need to because we have implemented an integrated pest management program," Rossi says, "which means that now we have beneficials - little microscopic insects - that are doing all the work for us and are not at risk for leaving any residues on the medicine, so it's much safer for our patients."
Wellness Connection is still facing a complaint from the United Food and Commercial Workers to the National Labor Relations Board, which alleges that the company unlawfully retaliated against some workers who tried to form a union. Leigh Ann Napier of Randolph claims she was wrongfully dismissed for her involvement in the union effort, and for participating in a walkout in Auburn back in March.
"I was one of the strong participants in the walkout that we did because of the different things that were going on inside that building where we didn't feel safe," Napier says.
Rossi says if the majority of employees want a union then they can have one, but she says right now that's not the case. She points out that employees are paid 43 percent more than the minimum wage and are offered a healthcare plan and a 401(k) match. In addition, she says, the company has opened the lines of communication with its 40-plus employees.
"Every month we're having very open communication and discussion about some of their problems, and trying to, most importantly, find solutions together," Rossi says.
One of the challenges that continues to face the dispensary operator is the public mindset about medical marijuana. Even though nearly 20 states have legalized it, medical marijuana is still illegal at the federal level. Many doctors remain reluctant to prescribe it themselves, even if they are willing to recommend it for patients like Colleen Jones Turner, who has severe nausea and chronic pain.
"I had four different doctors tell me to get medical marijuana, but not a single one would write the prescription because they were afraid," Jones Turner says.
Jones Turner says they were afraid that prescribing medical marijuana to her would put their practices at risk. She did eventually find someone who would prescribe it, and she's been happily getting relief at Wellness Connection in Portland for the past two years.
She says she trusts the staff and likes the comraderie. And she's hopeful that some of the fear will be eroded if Portland residents approve a referendum this November to legalize possession of up to 2.5 ounces of pot for recreational rather than medical purposes.
Becky DeKeuster, executive clinical director of the Wellness Connection, says the vote could change the public view of marijuana in general. "The fact that it is legal to possess without being a medical patient - that's going to change people's mindsets. That's going to change the frame of the conversation."
DeKeuster says the company is taking a neutral position on the Portland referendum, but she is encouraged by what she's seen in Colorado, where marijuana is now legal and where dispensaries are being allowed to expand into the retail end of the business.
"For example, the city of Denver has created regulations that say medical cannabis dispensaries that are currently existing, and choose to do so, may decide that they want to be a hybrid store and serve both medical and recreational users," DeKeuster says.
"Unfortunately the ordinance won't set up a mechanism for adults to legally purchase marijuana," says David Boyer of the Maine Marijuna Policy Project, which is organizing the Portland referendum. He says the taks of figuring out the distribution process under the referendum will come later.
"Right now, our number one focus is furthering the discussion and making sure that there is no penalties for adult use of marijuana possession," Boyer says.
Polls show a majority of Americans support legalizing marijuana if it is taxed and regulated. Boyer is optimistic about the referendum's chances. And DeKeuster is convinced that it's no longer a question of if, but when, marijuana will become legal.

Hepatitis C (HCV) infection can be a confusing disease for patients without proper guidance from their care providers. Due to the complex nature of the virus, its effects on the body and our rapidly evolving treatment options, it can also be difficult for providers to answer questions in a way that resonates with their patients.
Fortunately, at TheBody.com -- TheBodyPRO.com's sister site for the general community -- answering patient questions is what we do. Whether they are concerned about transmission or want to know about managing and treating the disease, our resident hepatitis expert, Lynn E. Taylor, M.D., F.A.C.P., A.A.H.I.V.S., an assistant professor of medicine in the division of infectious diseases at Brown University and attending physician at the Miriam Hospital in Providence, R.I., is there to fill in the gaps.
Here are a collection of answers to some of the most frequently asked questions we see about HCV on TheBody.com. These Q&As provide the necessary context and information to help create a better-informed patient.

WE ARE UNAWARE of ANY FORMAL COMPETITION for the TITLE of "THE BLACK MILTON BERLE," BUT WITH AS MANY DRAG PERFORMANCES as TYLER PERRY HAS GIVEN in HIS SELF-DIRECTED, SEEMINGLY ONCE-a-WEEK MADEA MOVIES, the TITLE SEEMS to BE SEWN UP.
THAT THERE IS UNDENIABLY an AUDIENCE for FILMS LIKE MADEA'S BIG HAPPY FAMILY SPEAKS AS MUCH to the PUBLIC's LACK of TASTE AS IT DOES to PERRY's LACK of IMAGINATION (or FILM-MAKING SKILLS). WITH TV-LEVEL PRODUCTION VALUES, JOKES SO OBVIOUS HELEN KELLER COULD SEE THEM a MILE AWAY, and FEATURING PERFORMANCES THAT MIGHT MAKE SLAPPY WHITE CRINGE, the MADEA MOVIES JUST KEEP GETTING CRANKED OUT and SHOWING UP at MULTIPLEXES, LIKE THOSE PROVERBIAL BAD PENNIES. APPARENTLY, SOMEONE DOES ENJOY THEM...JUST NOT ANYONE WE KNOW.
WIFE: "You idiot, you're only half-dressed..."
HUSBAND: "I figured, if I'm gonna be in a movie
that's half-assed..."

text: The clean lines of this classic serving set reveal a simple beauty that is unmistakably French. It's equally suited to a simple fireside supper and a formal dinner party. This flatware is crafted of polished 18/10 stainless steel, which has a high percentage of chrome for strength and durability; the nickel content results in enhanced luster. This composition most closely approximates silver-plated flatware, but the pieces will never tarnish. Dishwasher safe. The set includes a 9 3/4" serving fork, 10" serving spoon, pastry server and 6 1/4" gravy ladle. Made in France. A Williams-Sonoma exclusive.

Tanzania Association of Managers of Non-Governmental Schools and Colleges (Tamongsco) has called on the government to review the Education Act of 1978 to enable them invest more in the sector.
At their national executive committee which met yesterday in Dar es Salaam, Tamongsco chairperson Marc Mringo said the government had isolated them compared to services they offer to private higher learning institutions.
"We want the government to amend the Education Aact of 1978 to give us the freedom to provide sustainable services to students," he noted.
He said the Act was one-sided since payment of taxes was only for private schools while both private and public schools offer the same education.
The members were discussing challenges facing private schools in the provision of education to Tanzanians and see how they could be presented to the responsible ministry in order to improve collaboration between the schools and the government.
Mringo said that the government was yet to invest effectively in private schools like it did in private universities.
For her part, chairperson of the Zanzibar Association of Private Schools (ZAPS) Jamila Jaffari said the government should collaborate with private schools so they can provide better education to the students.
She said private schools were highly taxed, adding that if the government improved its collaboration with the schools the quality of education would improve in the schools.
The operator of Tusiime Secondary School Albert Katagira said the government should look into ways of helping private schools and work on challenges the sector faces.
He said, "The quality of education in Tanzania is gradually increasing, but the situatio could be improved if the government worked on challenges we are facing, such as the Education Act."

Comments On Jun 15, 2014:The RK 520SXO chain came on my RMX250 (dirt-bike) when I bought it, and that chain has performed quite well for a couple years. So I ordered another one from Rocky Mountain to put on my XL600 (dual-sport).
In the description there is no mention of the master-link type, so I never thought of it. You can imagine my surprise when I had the bike on the stand, new sprockets installed, link removed, and then tore open the opaque (white grease covered) master-link baggie, only to find that it was a riveting-type not a clip-type master-link. And I had a ride planned for the following day. Uugh! Where was I gonna get a master-link at 1am? Well, with a little thought it turns out I had a spare for my RMX250, so I used it.

Comments On Oct 23, 2013:This chain lasted less than 3 rides and broke. I had it less than 30 days. I will never buy that brand again.

Antacids for Peptic Ulcer Disease
|Generic Name
|Brand Name
|aluminum hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide and simethicone
|Maalox, Mylanta
|aluminum hydroxide and magnesium carbonate
|calcium carbonate
|calcium carbonate and magnesium hydroxide
Antacids are available without a prescription in liquid, chewable tablet, chewing gum, and dissolving tablet forms to be taken by mouth.
How It Works
Antacids—aluminum hydroxide, calcium carbonate, and magnesium hydroxide or magnesium carbonate—make stomach juices less acidic. Simethicone may help relieve gas symptoms.
Why It Is Used
Because acid reducers (H2 blockers and PPIs) do not start to work right away, antacids may be used to relieve ulcer symptoms during the first few days after a person begins taking an acid reducer. The antacid may be used until the acid reducer is able to control the symptoms.
How Well It Works
Antacids do not work as well as H2 blockers and PPIs to help ulcers heal. But they can help with ulcer symptoms, and in some cases they may help small ulcers heal.
Side Effects
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine you take. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with your medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
- Usually the benefits of the medicine are more important than any minor side effects.
- Side effects may go away after you take the medicine for a while.
- If side effects still bother you and you wonder if you should keep taking the medicine, call your doctor. He or she may be able to lower your dose or change your medicine. Do not suddenly quit taking your medicine unless your doctor tells you to.
Call 911 or other emergency services right away if you have:
- Trouble breathing.
- Swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Call your doctor if you have:
- Bone pain.
- Hives.
- Mood or mental changes.
- Muscle pain, weakness, or twitching.
- Problems or pain urinating.
- Severe constipation.
- Severe headache.
- Swelling of wrists or ankles.
Common side effects of this medicine include:
- Chalky taste.
- Constipation or diarrhea.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
What To Think About
Antacids and acid reducers should not be taken within 1 hour of each another, because the antacid will slow down the effect of the acid reducer.
If you are on a low-salt diet, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before choosing an antacid. Some antacids have a high salt (sodium) content.
Taking medicine
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
Advice for women
If you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant, do not use any medicines unless your doctor tells you to. Some medicines can harm your baby. This includes prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, herbs, and supplements. And make sure that all your doctors know that you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant.
Women who are pregnant may also be told to avoid antacids that contain sodium. Those antacids can cause extra swelling.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.

Girlfriends in GTA IV
this wiki
The ability to date girlfriends, first introduced in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, returns in Grand Theft Auto IV. Like in GTA San Andreas, two of the girlfriends are introduced during the storyline. The other three girlfriends are met online from the dating websites, as www.lovemeet.net and www.craplist.net
Aside from the amusing interactions between Niko Bellic and the women he dates, there can be several in-game benefits to starting a relationship with any of the datable characters. Putting in a little bit of time to raise the fondness of the girlfriends can unlock their "special abilities": these can help in particularly difficult missions late in the game.
Like the other relationships that Niko has with his friends in GTA IV, favor can be gained with girlfriends by taking them to different venues around the city. Unlike the male friends, however, dating is more than just worrying about the venue. To have a successful date Niko must cater to the women's tastes in three areas; clothing, vehicle, and how fancy the date is. Each woman has different tastes and will respond accordingly.
Reaching 100% fondness with all five girlfriends is not required to achieve 100% completion of the game.
Storyline Girlfriends
Michelle is introduced by Mallorie Bardas during the mission Three's a Crowd. After completing this mission, Niko is told to purchase some clothes from the Russian clothing store (to impress Michelle), after which he can call her to set up a date. While on a date with Michelle, try not to rear end another car or hit something. If you crash too much, Michelle will not allow you to go inside her place after the date.
- Clothing Preference: Michelle prefers Russian clothes.
- Vehicle Preference: Michelle likes almost any vehicle, excluding police cars, trucks, and beaters. She seems to have a preference for "mainstream" cars.
- Venue Preference: Michelle likes any venue, though her favorites are bowling, darts, pool, the Burger Shot restaurant, diners, and the Cluckin' Bell restaurant.
Special Ability
Karen/Michelle Allows Niko to use her unique silver merit.
- To achieve 100% fondness with Michelle, be sure to achieve that goal before the mission The Snow Storm, after that, you will not be able to date her anymore.
- If Michelle lets Niko in she will say: "Oh Niko Bellic, you're great! Oh Niko, I really like you! Please more, tell me more!"
- After Niko has "coffee" with Michelle, he can say: "I think she understands me"
- After the mission Wrong is Right, Niko can no longer date Michelle, as it is implied that they have broken up.
Kate McReary
Kate McReary is introduced in the mission Harboring a Grudge. After completing the mission Waste Not Want Knots, Patrick McReary will call to suggest to Niko Bellic to take his sister on a date.
- Clothing Preference: Kate likes Modo clothing and nice shoes.
- Vehicle Preference: Kate likes a nice moderate car; not too fancy but not too cheap.
- Venue Preference: Kate likes Darts, Pool and Steinway Beer Garden.
- It is not possible to be invited into Kate's house for "coffee" after any date.
- If you want 100% fondness with Kate, you have to do it before the mission One Last Thing, because you will not be able to date her after that.
Internet Girlfriends
After the mission Out of the Closet for Brucie Kibbutz, dates can be set up online through www.love-meet.net or www.craplist.net. 12-24 in-game hours after contacting the girl, she sends Niko an email. The date and time of the first date will be added to the organizer in Niko's phone. The first date is very important as it will determine whether or not the girlfriend will give Niko her phone number so he can continue dating her. If an Internet girlfriend's fondness is raised to a high enough level, her "special ability" is unlocked.
If Niko Bellic has a bad date or does not ask to come inside, the girl dumps Niko. However, wait a few in-game days and they reappear on the site so Niko can try again. When Niko meets a girlfriend again after being dumped or dumping her they will act as if they had never met him.
Carmen Ortiz (SoBoHoe)
Carmen Ortiz can be met on www.love-meet.net. Her profile name is SoBoHoe. The first date is always at 00:00 (midnight).
- Clothing Preference: Carmen likes expensive clothing; Modo or Perseus; Change clothes for future dates.
- Vehicle Preference: Carmen likes expensive vehicles; luxury or sports cars and coupes
- Venue Preference: Carmen likes bars and strip clubs for early dates; and restaurants for later dates (except SuperStar Cafe).
Special Ability
- Health Boost: Allows Niko to call Carmen for medical advice and a quick health boost; this feature has a bug that makes it not work during some missions.
- A first date at a bar and the second and third at a strip club should raise Carmen's fondness quickly.
- According to the Police Database, Carmen may be the second young woman to appear in the game's artwork; she was seen leaning down to a car with a guy in it.
- In the opening cutscene of Blow Your Cover for Elizabeta Torres, Carmen is seen dancing with Elizabeta at a house party.
- It is revealed in The Ballad of Gay Tony that she also dated Luis's friends, Henrique and Armando.
- If Carmen lets Niko in, she will say: "Ooh Niko, enjoy Carmen when you have her." or "You like this, don't you? Carmen likes this. You lucky, lucky man. Aren't you?" or "Me gusta, papi! Me gusta!"
- After Niko has "coffee" with Carmen, he can say "That's the kind of health professional she is"
Kiki Jenkins (LawChick)
Kiki Jenkins can be met on www.love-meet.net. Her profile name is LawChick.
- Clothing Preference: Kiki prefers clothes from the Russian Shop; she doesn't like hats or glasses.
- Vehicle Preference: Kiki likes mid-range luxury cars and SUV's such as the Oracle, Cognoscenti, Cavalcade (and FXT) and Contender
- Venue Preference: Kiki likes bowling, darts, pool, Perestroika, Split Sides and Drinking at Steinway Beer Garden (you will argue after but still get laid!).
- Special Ability
- Remove Wanted Level: Allows Niko to call Kiki to remove up to three stars of wanted level. This ability even works on some missions, however can only be done once in a game day and is more likely to work if Niko was recently on a date with Kiki.
- Subsequent dates after the first can be set up by calling her between 6:00AM and 2:00AM.
- Since Kiki likes clothes from the Russian store, she is a good choice for an early girlfriend.
- A first and second date at Split Sides and a third at a sports venue should raise Kiki's fondness quickly.
- Sometimes Kiki sends Niko text messages with a picture of her, sometimes of her butt as well as her cleavage and vagina.
- The player should be careful when dating Kiki while dating other girlfriends because after a while, she starts stalking Niko.
- If Kiki lets Niko in, she will say: "Oh Niko, I love you. Darling! You can prosecute me anytime!"
Alex Chilton (LiberatedWoman)
Alex Chilton can be met on www.craplist.net by responding to the "Party girl seeks man for NSA fun and blog material - 29" ad, under "Women seeking men".
- Clothing Preference: Alex likes clothing from Perseus and Claude's outfit from Playboy X's Penthouse.
- Vehicle Preference: Alex likes expensive sports cars; Turismo, Infernus, Stretch, Washington, and Huntley Sport.
- Venue Preference: Alex likes Perestroika, Split Sides and the SuperStar Cafe
- Special Ability
- Store Discount: Allows Niko to call Alex to get a 50% discount from all clothing stores for the next 24 in game hours.
- A few dates at Split Sides should raise Alex's fondness quickly.
- Niko can check her blog titled 'Liberated Woman' at www.blogsnobs.org. She often talks about her relationship and sex life with Niko, so the blog serves as a report on the outcomes of their dates.
- Alex's name is a reference to the musician of the same name, as well as a song by The Replacements.
- If you do not follow at least one of the preferences stated above, your first date with her will probably be the last, so be prepared.
- If Alex lets Niko in: she will say: "Ooh I love being naughty! Do your worst to me Niko! You've caught me in the right mood!"
- After Niko has "coffee" with Alex, he can say: "Shit, where did she learn to do that?" or "I hope she doesn't put that in her blog"
- Unlike Carmen and Kiki you do not have to complete the mission Out of the Closet to date her. Instead you must unlock Algonquin in order to date her.
Ballad of Gay Tony
There are ten "girlfriends" that Luis Lopez can have in The Ballad of Gay Tony. Luis is able to dance with them in the clubs and if he does well they'll bring Luis to the restrooms for an encounter, after which they may give Luis their number. Afterwards, they can be contacted, or may contact Luis, for a "booty call". There are ten Luis "girlfriends" including:
Damageproofing Vehicles
A glitch in the game can make any vehicle damage proof by scaring Niko's date right when she gets in the car (however these properties can randomly disappear at any time). To do the trick, fire a weapon when Niko's date gets in the car (wait for both door-opening and seating animations to pass). With a helicopter, snap off the blades at a height where Niko's girlfriend can get hurt but won't die.
