Hepatitis C and Other Health Conditions
In this article
Hepatitis C and Kidney Transplantation
Approximately 10% to 49% of kidney transplant recipients have antibodies for hepatitis C in their blood. Chronic HCV infection in these individuals appears to carry twice the risk of a serious post-transplant infection, compared to kidney transplant patients who do not test positive for HCV antibodies. However, there is no data indicating that HCV-infected kidney transplant recipients have a higher rate of transplant rejection or death.
Pegylated interferon-based treatment is not recommended for HCV-infected kidney transplant recipients, because the treatment puts them at a high risk for transplant rejection. Sometimes these patients are treated before receiving a transplant.
As in the general population, co-infection with both hepatitis C and hepatitis B appears to hasten disease progression in kidney transplant patients, increasing their risk of liver failure and death.
Hepatitis C and Hemodialysis
Hemodialysis patients have become infected with hepatitis C through blood transfusions, organ transplants, and, possibly, though hemodialysis equipment. On average, 20% of hemodialysis patients have HCV.
Chronic HCV infection appears to accelerate the progression of kidney disease in hemodialysis patients.
With regard to the progression to liver disease, again, these patients appear to be more affected by co-infection with both HBV and HCV than HCV alone.
Hepatitis C and Diabetes
Although the association is poorly understood, there appears to be a connection between hepatitis C and diabetes. One study reported that people with diabetes had four-times the rate of HCV infection than those without diabetes.
Another study reported that of 100 patients with cirrhosis, 34 had HCV infection. Of those, 17 (50%) had concurrent diabetes. Of the 66 HCV-free patients, only six (9%) had concurrent diabetes. Additional studies substantiate that diabetes is more prevalent in people with HCV infection than in people with other liver diseases -- even when a family medical history and other risk factors for diabetes are considered.

Illamasqua Naked Strangers
I finally got my hands on Illamasqua Naked Strangers collection on monday. It was probably the most awaited collection because my inbox was full of questions "When will they get it?" and the phone was ringing over at the store with "Is it there yet????". And the collection did nothing on me. I'm serious :D
But keeping aside the fact I am more of a person of color, my eye was caught on Zygomatic cream blush (the name did it, I confess) but I imagined it to be a bit darker so I gave up on buying, mainly because I got pretty tanned on vacation so it would hardly show on me. Those who like nude, pink-brown shades will be happy with this one. I am skipping, waiting for Generation Q :)
So first, blushes. There are two, Zygomatic (cream) which is "naked pink brown".
And the other is Naked rose (powder) "neutral beige pink". Both are nice, but I consider them too light for me at the moment. Swatch is taken under artificial lightening, left is Naked Rose and right is Zygomatic.
Lipglosses are also nice, a neutral sheer lipgloss Intimacy which is flesh color with some shimmer and Stranger intense lipgloss – a platinum gold shimmer.
Left Intimacy, right Stranger.
And the nail polishes in Faithful, Swinger and Monogamus.
Faithful – coppered metal
Swinger – platinum gold
Monogamus – flesh pink
How do you like this collection? Your favorite product from it?

SRI Tips From Social(k)
The following blog was written by Rob Thomas, the owner of Social(k), based in Springfield, MA. Social(k) joined 1% for the Planet in 2006 and recently completed their 2012 certification early with support of the Spikenard Farm and Honeybee Sanctuary. We appreciate Rob's support of our network and would like to share the following blog post with the rest of our network, so they can learn how to add socially responsible investment (SRI) options to an employers retirement plan.
Download this valuable step by step guide on how to get your employer or organization to add Socially Responsible Investments to a retirement plan. Please download it and make use of it. Here's what you'll find:
-An outline of what a retirement plan involves.
-What the pieces of this sometimes confusing puzzle are.
-Who does what. How to add Socially Responsible Investing, and why.
-What the steps are to add a new employee benefit or change an existing one to better reflect your organizations DNA.
Green America went through this process and the employees decided to choose Social(k) as their 403(b) plan. With that experience we bring you this guide to use when beginning the discussion at your place of employment.
Thank you in advance for taking the time to download and read through the process and considering taking necessary steps to get screened funds added to the retirement plan for organization.
An excerpt from the SRI-Retirement-Guide:
Whether you are an employer or an employee, you'll want to understand the benefits of offering employees a retirement plan with investments aligned with the employer's and/or employees' mission or ethics and their investment goals. It is important to state the benefits of SRI in order to better support the business's mission and to strengthen the case for SRI in your retirement plan.
Reasons for offering SRI retirement options include:
-Having a retirement plans that reflects the employer's values or mission (for example, if you are a producer of solar panels, chances are you want to eliminate or reduce investments in fossil fuels).
-Helping to strengthen the employee's long-term financial well-being by providing greater investment choice by adding SRI to an existing plan.
-Building employee morale and staff retention by expanding the benefits package.
-Providing an important employee benefit of enduring value since numerous studies have shown that SRI investment returns are competitive with conventional funds over the long term.
According to a September 2011 report by the US SIF Foundation and Mercer, US defined contribution retirement plans that offer SRI options could double in the next three years.2 The results of the survey indicate that four out of five plan sponsors respondents (84%) believe that demand for SRI retirement options will increase or remain steady during the next five years. It is clear that more and more employers are considering SRI, especially in response to employee demand. In fact, legislation has been introduced to make SRI options available to federal employees.

I'm curious about the traditions of Pentecostal churches concerning ministers being licensed and ordained. In Pentecostal churches (especially the denominations) typically how many years after being licensed is a minister ordained? I would not consider "it varies" an acceptable answer.

This Thursday, July 3, TCM will be airing a Mae West marathon of five of her movies. The classic sex symbol was never afraid of pushing boundaries in cinema, that's why she was always so entertaining to viewers. This five movie marathon will be taking place at 8 pm ET.
The movies that will be airing are the following:
Mae West starred in this 1933 film where she played Tira, a circus slideshow entertainer, who likes to swindle men out of there money. In the film she meets Cary Grant's character, a millionaire that might have the heart of Tira. This movie was Mae West's third movie and Wesley Ruggles directed the movie.
"She Done Him Wrong," is a 1933 movie that starred both Cary Grant and Mae West are in the cast. It was directed by Lowell Sherman. One of Mae West's best films that was even based off of her successful Broadway play, "Diamond Lili."
"Belle of the Nineties," is a 1934 that Leo McCarey directed. The film was based off of Mae West's original story, "It Ain't No Sin." Roger Pryor, Johnny Mack Brown, Katherine DeMille, and Duke Ellinton" starred in the movie with West.
"My Little Chickadee," is a comedy western that starred both West and W.C. Fields. It was Edward F. Cline who directed the movie. The movie is about a small town seductress who romances a masked bandit, but then is forced to marry a con-artist.
The last movie that will airing on the station is "The Heat's On." "The Heat's On," is a 1943 movie that was directed by Gregory Ratoff. The movie starred with West, Lester Allen, Lloyd Bridges, Victor Moore, and Mary Roche. It's about a would-be censor's brother that produces a Broadway show with a controversial star.
So those are the Mae West movies that will be airing on July 3, starting at 8 pm ET. The sultry and funny actress is definitely one that classic movie viewers won't want to miss.

ESO Hotel at Cerro Parana in Atacama, Chile, designed by Auer+Weber
The following course was held in summer 2013. Complete information for Summer Study Abroad 2014 will be posted (dates, descriptions, pricing) by December 20, 2013.
Set in the extraordinary landscapes along the Tropic of Capricorn, this studio explores the relation of architecture and landscape, at the environmental scale, through the design of imaginary infrastructures. A journey along the Capricorn line, a cross section of the South American continent, takes the class through five distinct geographies and their autochthonous cultures:
- the Puna (Highlands) de Atacama, the driest desert on Earth, home of the most advanced deep space observatories and Chuquicamata, the largest open sky mine in the world;
- across the Andes, the Jujuy and Salta andean foothills;
- the forbidding Chaco savanna;
- the Iberá wetlands, with its limitless horizon and enormously rich fauna;
- and finally, the tropical Atlantic Forest of Misiones, land of impenetrable selvas, the incredible Iguazú waterfalls and the Guaraní mission ruins.
Tropic of Capricorn
Instructor: Leonardo Zylberberg
July 29–August 23, 2013
Information Session
Interested students should attend the information session (to be announced) and then contact Leonardo Zylberberg to start the approval process for registration.
Imagined Infrastructures In Extraordinary Landscapes
The remoteness and harshness of these imposing landscapes in the Tropic of Capricorn have preserved their power, and to a certain extent their ecologies, as well as the remnants of aboriginal cultures. At the same time, they are increasingly threatened by growing resource exploitation, the new networks of infrastructures envisioned to facilitate their extraction, and even by eco-tourism, an activity that while encouraging preservation, risks overwhelming local cultures and habitats with the influx of visitors and their accompanying service infrastructure.
As a critique to the traditional, economy-driven technocratic infrastructure projects that are being proposed, which share a general disregard of existing environments and cultures, this studio encourages a forward-looking, quasi-utopian design of imaginary infrastructures based on a visceral, architectural response to the power of the landscape and local culture, focusing on the potential of new technology, renewable energy, and ancestral modes of habitat.
The class draws from the examples of architects such as Lebbeus Woods; environmental artists such as Robert Smithson, Andrew Goldsworthy, Christo, and Olafur Eliason; along with others, as well as from experimental projects like Ciudad Abierta (Open City) and other contemporary landscape-sensitive architectures in Chile, which students visit on the way from Santiago to Atacama.
For the first two weeks of the journey, students extensively document the five regions through photography and sketching and hold in-situ short charrettes to register ideas, preparing the canvas for designs. During the second two weeks, the class participates in a design studio in Buenos Aires, at the Universidad Torcuato Di Tella, with local guest critics. The time spent in Buenos Aires provides the opportunity to explore the architecture and culture of one of the most exciting capitals of Latin America.
Undergraduates: successful completion of Architecture Studio 4 and instructor approval.
Graduates: successful completion of Architecture Studio 2 and instructor approval.
In addition, all students must be in good academic, conduct, and financial standing for the 2012–13 academic year.
Course Satisfies

A recent study by Pew Research Internet Project gives insight into how the Internet affects our relationships and some of the results aren't what was expected. It appears that there are a high number of shared accounts with a whopping 27% sharing an email account and 11% of these couples share a calendar. Among married and partnered couples, 11% of them are sharing a social media account. The results appear to be higher among those who have been together for more than 10 years pre-technology era. For instance, those who were together pre-Facebook, may have set up a joint Facebook account, however, the younger generation typically has their own social media accounts coming into a relationship and they are kept separate.
An interesting statistic is that 67% of couples have shared at least one password to an online account with their partner. This can be viewed in two very different lights. This seems to be a high percentage of people sharing passwords to their online accounts, but for those who live together and have bills together, it's probably more common.
Another interesting result involved sexting among adults. Rising from 6% in 2012, 9% of adults with cell phones have sent a text of themselves to someone, 20% say they have been on the receiving end (up from 15% in 2012), and 3% admitted to have forwarded a sext to someone else. This last statistic has remained unchanged from the 2012 results. Partnered adults are just as likely to send sext messages, however, single adult are more likely to report receiving and forwarding these types of message.
The study found the overall results to be:
10% of partnered relationships claim a major impact
17% of partnered relationships claim a minor impact
74% of those who claim the Internet impacts their relationship says the impact is positive.
20% of those who claim the Internet impacts their relationship says the impact is negative.
4% of those who claim the Internet impacts their relationship says the impact is both positive and negative.
72% of partnered relationships claim no impact

We conducted an experiment to describe how social learners use information about the relation between payoffs and behavior. Players chose between twontechnologies repeatedly. Payoffs were random, but one technology was better because its expected payoff was higher. Players were divided into two groups:n1) individual learners who knew their realized payoffs after each choice andn2) social learners, who had no private feedback about their own payoffs, but in each period could choose to learn which behavior had produced the lowestnpayoff among the individual learners or which behavior had produced the highest payoff. When social learners chose to know the behavior producing the highest payoff, a model of imitating this successful behavior matches the data verynclosely. When social learners chose to know the behavior producing the lowest payoff, they tended to choose the opposite behavior in early periods, while increasingly choosing the same behavior in late periods. This kind of rapidntemporal heterogeneity in the use of social information has received little or no attention in the theoretical study of social learning.

Driving America's East Coast Highway
A review of Stan Posner and Sandra Phillips-Posner's book, Drive I-95: From Boston to the Florida Border& and Back
By Melissa Vitti
Excerpt from Drive I-95:
Exit 1: New Jersey Mud If you are a baseball nut, look down at the Delaware River as you cross over it here, because this is where the famous Lena Blackburne's Baseball Rubbing Mud comes from.
"In 1938 when an umpire complained to Blackburne (a third base coach for the old Philadelphia Athletics) about the condition of the balls which were rubbed with mud made of water and dirt from whatever field they were playing on, he went looking in the Delaware River until he found some muck (the whereabouts of the mud hole is still a dark secret) with a perfect texture -- a cross between chocolate pudding and whipped cold cream.
Nowadays, every major and most minor leagues in the US use this mud to mask the balls shine and improve the pitchers grip. The muds source was willed to a close friend, John Haas, who had worked with Blackburne on his mud-finding exploits.
"Haas eventually turned over the enterprise to his son-in-law, Burns Bintliff. Burns in turn passed it on to son Jim and his family. Other kinds of mud and even mechanical methods have been tried to de-slick baseballs, but they couldnt make the grade -- only good old New Jersey mud will do.
Stan Posner and Sandra Phillips-Posner
Sandra Phillips-Posner is a native New Yorker began her career as an art teacher of all things. When her first book, Smart Shopping Montreal, hit the bestseller list almost 19 years ago, her career focus switched from art educator to media darling.
After the success of her first book, she was offered her own column in Montreals newspaper The Gazette. She spreads her time between writing, lecturing and appearances on TV and talk radio programs.
Stan Posner has owned his own computer consulting business since 1984. Hes worked with Raytheon, Honda and Atomic Energy of Canada to name a few. Like his wife, he has also spent time educating at Concordia University where he taught actuarial math. His combined love of computers and travel has made him McGill Universitys computer guru for their Travelsmart publishing company.
It is easy to see how their passions brought together have created an informative and fun way to travel. To prepare for the book, the two spent ten hours a day together in a car for eight weeks, and even after 27 years of marriage, they are still crazy about each other.
Road Trippin
Drive I-95, includes exit-by-exit information, maps, history, trivia and guides crucial for any road trip up and down the east coast. When I embarked on a six day road trip with two of my friends for a spring-break drive from New Jersey to South Carolina, the book became our most important reference. For three college students on a budget, the guide helped us navigate our way to Myrtle Beach.
We packed up our Jeep Liberty with our bags full of spring break attire, pillows and CDs to start the journey. Beside the important role of the driver, the second most important became the passenger (whoever called shotgun at the most recent stop) to play the role of DJ and tour guide, keeping the Drive I-95 close at hand.
As you open the book, theres a chart of radio stations categorized by city and genre on the inside cover. Considering we brought what we thought was every CD ever made with us, we figured this wouldnt be necessary for our purposes. We were obviously wrong. By hour six, in the great state of Virginia, I was elected to find anything but country and as you can imagine the chart became particularly useful.
The Complete Guide
The first 50 yellow pages of the book include a complete color-coded and comprehensive set of maps of all the states. The exits are depicted much like the road signs you see on the highway with marked stops for gas, food and lodging.
But what you wont find on a regular map is the great symbol of a police car where expected speed traps are (incredibly important for three New England students trying to get to a beach because they havent seen anything but snow in four months).
After the yellow map section come 88 pages chalk full of information. Everything you could possibly want to know between Massachusetts and Georgia is in this section. For those continuing to Florida, the book starts again this time with a blue section of maps followed by the pages of information of the following states.
For our purposes, the 88 pages of information became a constant conversation piece in our Jeep Liberty. Did you know&.? became the most frequented phrase especially during the larger stretches of the big states like North Carolina.
Beyond the blurbs about each most visible attraction at every exit, there are interesting little anecdotes spread throughout. In the North Carolina section is a short explanation on the origin of the hush puppy snack.
Cooks would throw a piece of fried dough to the dogs in the kitchen to quiet them down or hush puppies.
South of the Border
If youve ever driven through the states of North and South Carolina, you're familiar with South of the Border. Theres a constant reminder as you drive counting down the miles via tacky billboards reminding you how much further until you reach South of the Border (also know as Exit 1 once you cross into South Carolina). The Posners give the attraction a very fair assessment considering all the hype that is given
You could only have missed the billboards if you are a sight-impaired driver. This tacky Mexican-themed town is famous to every kid who has ever read the road.
"What you will find, if you dare to get off, is a Pedroland amusement park, 11 souvenir shops, 6 food joints, 2 gas stations, 100 campsites and a 300-room motor inn sporting carports and an indoor heated or outdoor swimming pool.
"You can play indoor golf at the Golf of Mexico or view the whole site from the ride in the glass elevator to the top of the 200-foot tall Sombrero Tower. Olé!
Despite the warnings in the book, we had to check it out. The results were as expected just as dismal as the reviews. We had to chuckle as we pulled into the ghost town of bright tourist buildings and life size sombreros.
We took pictures with the artificial pink flamingos and purchased our 3SOB key chains before we set out to finish the last leg of our trip. We reached Myrtle Beach safe and sound after 11 hours in the car. All in all, the trip was everything we expected and thanks to Drive I-95 at our finger tips we were able to avoid the unexpected.
It is easy to see why Drive I-95 received Foreword Magazines Book of the Year Award and The Benjamin Franklin Award. Even if you dont embark on a road trip, the useful guide is a fun read for anyone wanting to learn more about the states from Massachusetts to Florida.

Full Court Press: Do You Have Your Wings?
Jan. 6, 2011
Follow Oregon women's basketball on twitter (@OregonWBB) and facebook.
Do you want to take flight with the Oregon Ducks this season?
Currently the Oregon women's basketball coaching staff and student-athletes have exclusive lapel wings they are passing out to only the most dedicated Duck fans.
Oregon women's basketball student-athletes and coaches will have wings in their possession at all times, and will only hand out these elite pins to those they deem deserving.
Are you a season ticket holder? Are you a frequent fan at games this season? Are you a fanatical supporter of the green and yellow?
If the Ducks see your enthusiasm for the squad, you may become one of the premier fans who receive a pair of wings this year.
Don't be afraid or too shy to ask for your set of wings if you catch the Ducks out and about this season at your school, the airport, grocery store, etc.
But most importantly, if you show your loyalty at Mac Court and Matthew Knight Arena, you might just be deemed worthy of a set of Oregon women's basketball take flight wings.
The Ducks have already begun their campaign to find the worthiest of Duck fans in the land.
Do you have your wings yet?

Are You All Tied up?
Winter is also the time of year when fly fishermen spend more of their available time at their fly tying vises cranking out flies for the coming season. This stands to reason because the ice covering most of our local lakes seriously limits the possible venues for going fishing instead of tying flies. Thus, the focus shifts to depleted fly boxes and slow-motion replays of that huge fish you got right to your feet before the line broke. Anglers need to prepare before they sit down for a protracted session at the vise and this preparation usually takes only a few logical steps.
What fly patterns are you going to need this year? This is usually determined by the species you intend to pursue and where you intend to pursue them. Brown Trout in the upper Mad River will dictate pattern selections far different from carp or catfish in the Great Miami. You will need streamers at least five inches long in loud colors for muskies at Caesar Creek and Deceivers in dark blue over white with a silver tinsel body for white bass at Eastwood Lake.
How many will you need? This will be determined by how often you intend to fish for whichever species that fly is designed to attract. In the Miami Valley, it will pay you well to tie plenty of Clouser Minnows, Muddlers and Woolly Buggers in a wide variey of sizes and colors. You will also need to think about the conditions under which you fish each of these patterns. Woolly Buggers spend a lot of time ticking along the bottom, getting hung up on rocks and stumps. This is especially true of the versions weighted with bead or cone heads. Tie some extras of those because you will probably need them. If you only intend to fish once or twice during the season for steelhead or muskies, you probably won't need as many flies for those species.
Should you tie them or buy them? This depends on a number of factors, among which are the degree of complexity of the fly, the availability and cost of the materials needed, your skills as a tier and your time constraints. If you need twenty steelhead flies for a trip to the Chagrin next week, you might want to think about buy at least some of them unless you can tie rather quickly and you have plenty of time on your hands. Likewise, intricate patterns such as Royal Wulffs in size 14 would probably be something to buy. Elk Hair Caddis would be something else to purchase unless you happen to have an elk who looks overdue for a trim. On the other hand, easy patterns like Woolly Buggers, Woolly Worms, Ants and Mickey Finns can be tied very quickly with cheap materials you probably already have on hand if you do any tying at all.
Don't shy away from tying because of the initial cost of some materials! You need to do the math to find out how truly cheap tying really is. For instance, the price for a large pack of olive saddle hackles at a local store was $30. One hundred #6 streamer hooks were $12. Figuring the amount of saddle hackle necessary for a decent Woolly Bugger, each one should cost around twenty cents in terms of materials used. The lowest price one can find for these flies is 79 cents plus shipping and handling. Obviously what originally looked like a large price tag for raw materials comes out as a true bargain!
Schedule your vise sessions! Sure, you can pop out five or ten Muddlers while you're watching CSI re-runs in your spare time but large scale production takes extended blocks of time and some proper planning. Schedule such sessions for a time when you are least likely to be disturbed for several hours! Send your wife to her Mom's and the kids to see their older siblings who have their own places! Then get out your fly tying gear, put the cordless phone within reach along with about three cans of beverage, some raisins or something similar and get busy! You'll be shocked at how many flies you can crank out if you can stay dedicated to the task.
Mass production is the key! One other tip is to tie a lot of the same fly at a time. Set yourself a goal for each session such as twenty Beadhead Olive Woolly Buggers. This will keep you from spending time rummaging through your supplies as you change patterns. You can set out what you need within easy reach and just crank out fly after fly. In the cooking world, this is known as mies en place which is a French term meaning "everything in its place". In the fly tying world, it means showing good sense. Also, don't move on to the next pattern until you finish tying what you will need of the one you are tying now! You may need so many flies of certain patterns that it will take more than one vise session for that pattern. Stay committed to that pattern until you have all you need, then move to the next one until it is finished! A good idea would be to figure which patterns you will need at ice-out, tie those first and so on according to a timeline of need. In that way, you will feel prepared for the beginning of the season even if you are running out of vise time before ice-out. Nothing says you can't finish tying your fall steelhead flies in April when a big thunderstorm has pushed you off the lake and swollen all the rivers.
Well, there you have it! By following a few simple strategies such as these, it will not take long before you are all tied up and ready for the season to come!

Leopard Diaries
A word from our rangers.
Leopard Diaries September 2012
Salayexe, the proud mother of 2 cubs spent a tremendous amount of time by herself over the past few weeks. It was worrying since her cubs are approaching the time when they could start eating meat. So far she hasn't brought them to any kills that we know of.
The dominant male, Tingana, made a few kills in less accessible areas, for the game vehicles at least, which gave him a few days of peace as of late he has been constantly harassed by the female leopards wanting to mate with him.
The undisturbed silence didn't last very long. He was walking his usual boundary patrol route when the young female, Moya, found him close to the Londolozi boundary.
After a few days of persistent following, Moya managed to convince Tingana that she was ready to mate. The last morning we tracked the two of them for at least 2 hours and eventually found them on a young Giraffe kill that they caught possibly 20 minutes before they were found.
Other Sightings
This month closed off with a horrifying but freakishly exciting incident….….evidently something was killed overnight right in front of Simbambili's reception. The Guides and Trackers quickly put their heads together and the evidence pointed to a clan of Hyenas that had killed a Bushbuck . The evidence can be seen in the above photograph of the Hyena paw print above. Regards,
The Simbambili Team

New Orleans All-Pro tight end Jimmy Graham may have dominated NFL news headlines while negotiating the four-year, $40 million contract extension he received earlier this month, but it's the man throwing him the ball who's still moving the most official Saints merchandise.
Quarterback Drew Brees accounted for the 14th-most total sales of all products officially licensed by the NFL Players Inc. from March 1 through May 31, said a news release published by the group Tuesday. He was the only member of the Saints to appear on the NFL Players Inc. Top 50 Player Sales list, topped by rookie Cleveland quarterback and first-round draft pick Johnny Manziel.
Meanwhile, New Orleans natives/Newman grads/brothers Peyton Manning, quarterback of the Broncos, and Giants QB Eli Manning landed in the Top 25. Peyton Manning, the only player in league history to win five MVP trophies, was No. 5. Eli Manning, a two-time Super Bowl champion, was No. 25.
Brees, for his part, was the MVP of the Saints' victory in Super Bowl XLIV; leads the NFL in passing yards the past two seasons (10,339); and over that time has thrown more touchdowns (82) than every player except Peyton Manning (92).

Maria asks…
I have an alergic reaction like down there, how'd I get rid of it?
It's from a fragrance/scented period pad I used.
I'm using euex, sudocream and germaline but none sooth enough or are getting rid of it.
I'm also taking a anti-hestimine tablet.
AlanaJoline answers:
Sanitary napkins, also called pads or maxi pads, contain plastics, scents and chemicals that can irritate sensitive skin. If you're especially sensitive to any of the ingredients in your napkin, you might develop irritation or rashes as a result of continued skin-to-skin exposure. Changing the types of products you use and following your doctor's instructions can help clear up you rash and prevent future outbreaks.
Step 1
Get your rash evaluated by your health-care provider. Many different conditions have similar symptoms, and what appears to be a painful rash caused by your sanitary napkin might be herpes or a vaginal yeast infection. If you alternate pads and tampons, a sunburn-like rash could indicate toxic shock syndrome, which can be deadly, according to Womens Health.gov.
Step 2
Remove the napkin you're wearing and avoid wearing another one to prevent further irritation. Consider using internal products like tampons or menstrual cups, or try cloth pads or pads made from unbleached organic cotton with no chemical additives.
Step 3
Use an over-the-counter or prescription topical cream, as instructed by your doctor. Different rashes require different types of treatment, according to MedlinePlus. Hydrocortisone cream is used for allergic reactions, antibacterial or antiseptic topical cream is for bacterial skin infections, and anti-fungal cream is for a yeast infection triggered by your sanitary napkin.
Step 4
Apply warm compresses to your vulva between treatments to help sooth skin and reduce pain.
Step 5
Clean your vulva with nothing other than warm water. Discontinue use of soaps, body sprays, feminine washes and other chemically-based personal hygiene products that can irritate your delicate skin and make your rash worse, advises MedlinePlus. Avoid bubble baths, tight clothing and fabrics that don't allow your skin to breathe.
Step 6
Follow-up with your doctor to evaluate your healing progress. Continue using alternative menstrual products and avoiding chemical personal hygiene products even after your rash clears up to prevent future rashes.

Mark asks…
What causes cold sores? What is the best treatment?
AlanaJoline answers:
Herpes simplex. But that doesn't mean you have an STD. It is a virus.
It can be passed in your saliva so wash your hands and don't kiss anybody during an outbreak.
Over the counter you can use Abreva. The Dr can give you a prescription for other things.
Stress does seem to bring on an outbreak. So does getting a fever, the flu or fluctuation in hormones.
Steven asks…
Do I have pink eye and are there any over the counter remedies?
Yesterday, I woke up and my eye was full of junk and almost completely stuck shut. It's not pink but the lid is swollen a little and irritable. It wasn't as bad today. Also is there something over the counter I could use to fix it.
AlanaJoline answers:
It depends on the specific cause of the pink eye.
Bacterial conjunctivitis, your doctor may prescribe antibiotic eyedrops as pink eye treatment, and the infection should go away within several days. Antibiotic eye ointment, in place of eyedrops, is sometimes prescribed for treating bacterial pink eye in children.
Treatment for viral conjunctivitis
There is no treatment for most cases of viral conjunctivitis. Instead, the virus needs time to run its course — up to two or three weeks. Viral conjunctivitis often begins in one eye and then infects the other eye within a few days. Your signs and symptoms should gradually clear on their own.
Antiviral medications may be an option if your doctor determines that your viral conjunctivitis is caused by the herpes simplex virus.
Treatment for allergic conjunctivitis
If the irritation is allergic conjunctivitis, your doctor may prescribe one of many different types of eyedrops for people with allergies.
Jenny asks…
what could be red blotchy and itching on my face?
It started out around my mouth (just itching) and now my whole left side is a little swollen and itching like crazy. It sounds kind of like hand foot and mouth disease, but i've had no swollen throat and no problem eating. My daughter also has a small rash on the side of her mouth, and as time has gone by today, the whole side of her face is now swollen. There's no rash all over that side of the face, just a small rash next to her mouth. I put some a&d cream on both of our faces this morning, and tonight I put a hydrocortisone ointment on it. That doesn't seem to be helping. Any suggestions?
AlanaJoline answers:
That is a little thing called a Cold Sore or Oral Herpes.
You need to:
1. DO NOT TOUCH IT! It is hard to transfer it to other parts of your body, but it is possible and the worst places to autoinoculate are your eyes and your genitals… Put a bandaid over the area at night to stop you from scratching it in your sleep and then possibly rubbing your eye or gentials without knowing. The eyes are the most important thing to avoid.
2. Go buy a tube of Abriva. Http://www.abreva.com/ Yes, it is expensive and no, the cheaper tubes that look the same as the Abriva do NOT contain the same thing. Abriva is the ONLY cold sore treatment you can get over the counter. READ THE BACK OF THE OTHER PACKAGES if you doubt this and make sure that they list "Docosanol" as the active ingredient. Http://themamareport.com/giveaways/abreva-not-all-medicines-are-created-equal-a-giveaway-3-winners/ You'll find that they all contain benzalkonium chloride (Bactine) and that does NOTHING to help fight the Virus that causes cold sores.
3. Stop the itch by applying a 20% benzocaine cream like vagisil or the Equate/Walmart version that is only $1.88 a tube. Yes, I wrote Vagisil… It has the highest concentration of topical analgesic on the market and it's designed for the most sensitive skin on the body, so it won't dry out your lip and make the healing process harder.
4. If you've never been sexually active, you go it as a child when one of your relatives kissed you while contagious but before the outbreak became visible. I had my first outbreak when I was 11 or 12 and I got it from my grandmother or my aunt, who both would kiss me on the cheek or a peck on the lips when I was a child and both of them get cold sores. It doesn't mean ANYTHING about you as a person, even though some people might try to say it means you're sexually active, since that's the other way that the herpes virus can get to the mouth… And yes, Cold Sores are a form of Herpes… And today, there's no difference between oral herpes or genital herpes other than the location where it shows up. You can't tell what the strain is without doing a culture, and that is pointless since the two types are almost identical anyways.
Lizzie asks…
Are there Any COOKs/Chef with Herpes that work restaurant? what can I do?
I am distressed of moving to a new kitchen?? Will the symptoms decrease? What treatment can be affordable( lemon-aid)?? Are hotel/ banquets my best bet??
AlanaJoline answers:
Don't use lemonade on a cold sore, that will aggravate it. Try not to stress out too much and get some over the counter cold sore creams, there are some affordable ones out there.
You can work in a restaraunt, herpes isn't passed through food as it doesn't survive in high cooking temps or out side of the body for long periods of time. Just don't kiss your customers while you have a cold sore and you should be fine.

Feb. 24, 2000
BERKELEY, Calif. - California battled past a resilient Washington squad for a 51-49 victory Thursday night at Haas Pavilion. Junior guard Courtney Johnson led the Bears with 10 points and four rebounds while sophomore center Shavaki Jackson notched a 15 rebound performance. The win marks Cal's third-straight victory over Washington and its first season sweep of the Huskies since 1991-92.
"Shavaki is someone that has really blossomed of late," said California head coach Marianne Stanley of Jackson, who finished with nine points and entered Thursday's game ranked second in rebounding in Pac-10 games. "She didn't have a pretty game tonight, but 15 rebounds, my goodness, that's a lot of boards. She's managed to really mature in her game and thrives in crunch time."
Up 26-22 at halftime, the Bears fought off a determined Washington squad but never let the Dawgs get more than a four point lead during the second stanza. Back-to-back jumpers by Jackson with four minutes to play put California (8-15 overall, 3-10 in the Pac-10) up by four, 49-45.
"We've just gutted out every win we've gotten over the last two months," said Stanley. "I think our kids are giving us the best effort they can give us. Tonight was another example of that. It wasn't free, but it was a great effort."
Washington (7-19 overall, 3-11 in the Pac-10) threatened in the final minute when freshman guard Loree Payne, the game's leading scorer with 19 points, nailed a driving lay-up with 41.3 seconds left in the contest, cutting Cal's lead to 50-49. Moments later, following a Cal offensive foul, junior guard Kenya Corley (five points, seven rebounds) stole the ball from Payne and was promptly fouled at midcourt. A made free-throw by the secret agent sealed the win with 0.07 on the clock.
Despite shooting just 33 percent from the field and committing 21 turnovers, the Bears were able to hold back the Huskies' numerous attempts to capture momentum, due in large part to Cal's 46-35 rebounding advantage over Washington. The Dawgs chalked up 19 points off turnovers to Cal's mere nine.
Sophomore forward Ami Forney, in her second game back following a nine game sidelining due to a stress fracture in her foot, shot 2-for-2 from the floor, scoring four points and recording four rebounds over 16 minutes of work.

Here I am wearing a Versace top and skirt in 2004.
Here I am wearing the same top and skirt last week, while doing a modified Angelina Jolie leg-thrusting pose.
I'm carrying a Louis Vuitton bag from 2001 in both photos. In the earlier picture, I'm wearing patent Prada Mary Janes that I bought in 1994 or 1995. (I got rid of those a few months ago; they were really decrepit after more than 15 years of frequent wear.) In the recent photo, I'm wearing Jil Sander boots that I bought in or before 2005. They're still in good shape.
Clearly, my taste hasn't changed much, but maybe I'll buy a whole new wardrobe just for the hell of it when FitzRoy's feline-supermodel career takes off. One of his recent Tumblr photos has 1,700 notes as of this writing! (People don't leave too many comments on Tumblr but the few that are left are hilarious, like "eyes as red as the devils dick!") I'm looking forward to becoming a momager.
UPDATED TO ADD: I used to have a leopard-print toothbrush holder to match the leopard-print soap dish, but it broke a long time ago. FitzRoy wasn't involved in that incident.
12 Responses to "If It Ain't Broke Versace, Don't Fix It"
FitzRoy is takin' over!
I'm going to find out where you hide the fountain of youth one of these days! That outfit is totally badass. I like it better with the boots too.
Hopefully Mr. Fitzroy will start racking in the dough. I keep trying to cash in on the kittens, but they're not fond of cameras, just strings and bugs.
Gotta love a cat who can work a Jedi mind trick.
Yeah, FitzRoy is pretty damn cute in that photo. The caption is perfect. (His fur looks sooooo soft!)
FitzRoy has that je ne sais quoi that always leads to the front page of the tabloids — watch out! Oh, and how do you not age at all in eight years? : >
I love this look! That skirt is beautiful and I am in love with your boots.
Love this look on you!
I think I need to snap a photo of both you and Fitz together… two supah models!
I like your version of the Angelina leg thrust much better than hers, also I think I prefer the boots vs the maryjane's you got rid of.

The wonders of Colorado's landscape do more than inspire awe in those who behold them; they're also a built-in naming mechanism for local breweries. Is there a famous waterway flowing behind the brewery's backyard? Name the beer Clear Creek Gold Pale Ale or St. Vrain Tripel. Got an epic ski run nearby? Name the beer Little Mo' Porter. What if, in the surrounding area, there's a rocky outcrop that looks vaguely like a pachyderm? Then the beer's named Elephant Rock IPA (7.7% ABV) from Pikes Peak Brewing Co.
Color: With a touch of hop haze, Elephant Rock is a deep, dark orange with tints of red. In a round glass, it looks like a Caribbean sunset.
Aroma: Pine. A pinch of citrus. This beer is what American IPAs are all about. It doesn't buck the style, the aroma fits the guidelines almost perfectly.
Taste: Elephant Rock is bitter enough to be an IPA but mellow enough to be drinkable. Lemon zest abounds with a pine resin aftertaste that builds as one imbibes.
Mouthfeel: This beer is certainly dry but perhaps not as dry as more intense IPAs. The thickness is middling.
With Elephant Rock, when one drinks in the Colorado scenery, they really drink in the scenery. Purchase Elephant Rock at any of the retailers found in this link and enjoy a multi-sensory experience of the Centennial State landscape.

When a veteran 911 operator takes a life-altering call from a teenage girl who has just been abducted, she realises that she must confront a killer from her past in order to save the girl's life.PT2M20S http://www.smh.com.au/action/externalEmbeddedPlayer?id=d-2j9ae 620 349 May 9, 2013

Brad Anderson's The Call is an odd patchwork that starts out as a suspenseful thriller but lurches into lurid exploitation-lite.
At first, it's a film about remote contact and fraught connection; it opens with images of the city as an interconnected web and the overlapping voices of people in distress, calling emergency services for help.
Halle Berry plays Jordan, an experienced 911 operator wedded to her job. One of its frustrations, we're told, is that the operators don't know what becomes of the people they make contact with. Someone else - a cop, a paramedic - takes over. Jordan is determined to see one particular case through to the end - the rescue of Casey (Abigail Breslin), who has been kidnapped at a mall and stashed in a car boot, and who spends most of the rest of the film sobbing and screaming.
Halle Berry in The Call.
She has a mobile phone with her, however, and she's able to call 911. With Jordan's encouragement she becomes more resourceful and proactive. There are some neat twists in the story as emergency services frantically try to track down the victim, Jordan learns the kidnapper is not a stranger to her and the suspense and violence escalate in fairly convincing fashion.
But when Jordan decides to leave her post, the film dissolves into absurdity and loses all conviction. This is disappointing from Anderson, whose varied CV includes Transsiberian, The Machinist, Next Stop Wonderland and episodes of some quality TV drama.
There's no reason it couldn't have been a hybrid thriller-action-revenge movie but the filmmakers have gone about it the wrong way: The Call peters out in a flurry of garbled serial killer cliches and laughable decisions by a central character.

Obesity can increase the risk of sleep apnea in children
|sleep apnea in children treatment
While many people who have been diagnosed with sleep apnea suffer from the condition because of a genetic predisposition, there is a segment within this population whose sleep apnea could be stopped or at least greatly improved with simple lifestyle changes. That segment is those who are moderately to severely overweight, and it includes a growing number of young people.
As more and more children gain weight to the point of obesity, we'll be seeing more of them with sleep apnea. Weight gain in youth is an unfortunate trend. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 2012 reported that 17% (2.5 million) American children and young adults between 2 and 19 years old are obese. That number is up nearly 300% since 1980.
It has been estimated that 60% of obese children have sleep apnea, a breathing disorder that causes a person's throat to over-relax during sleep to the point that breath is temporarily cut off. These "apneic episodes," as they are called, can occur as many as 100 times during a night of sleep. An episode can last as long as a minute.
In an obese child, there is more fatty tissue in the neck and throat area. In all "normally" healthy people, the throat relaxes naturally when they sleep, but the brain sends signals to the throat to prevent it from closing completely. Overweight children may have sufficient fatty throat tissue to override these signals.
Sleep apnea can seriously disrupt a child's life at a time when he or she should be growing, exploring and enjoying every day with a freedom that will end when it's time to go to work, raise a family and leave childhood behind. While sleep apnea can be treated with a CPAP machine, which provides continuous positive airway pressure through a breathing mask, curing the obesity problem, if that's what's causing the condition, is a much better form of treatment.
People with sleep apnea report several common symptoms: loud snoring, daytime lethargy and trouble focusing and concentrating. Children during their learning years will be hampered if they're tired and sluggish all the time. Childhood sleep apnea has also been associated with sleep deprivation, learning difficulties and memory problems.
These symptoms (aside from snoring) result from decreased levels of oxygen reaching the brain because of the constant breathing stoppages. Where sleep deprivation is concerned, a vicious cycle can be initiated: children who don't get enough sleep are more prone to become obese; obesity can lead to sleep apnea; sleep apnea results in poor and decreased sleep.
The answer, of course, is for obese children to lose weight. And in most cases, a child who is gaining weight isn't going to take the situation in hand and make the necessary changes, so it's up to the parents. Mom and Dad should set good examples for their children by eating more healthy foods, eating less at each meal and participating in some sort of physical exercise daily.
Children model their parents, and if we're to reverse the trend of childhood obesity – which leads to adult obesity and numerous serious health problems – the parents are the ones who must take charge and monitor their children's eating and activity behaviors. Doing so will lower the number of obese children and decrease the percentage (60) of them who have developed sleep apnea.
Doug Thomas is a freelance writer for The CPAP Shop, a leading retailer of CPAP machines, equipment and accessories used in the treatment of adult and childhood sleep apnea. To learn more about The CPAP Shop, visit http://www.thecpapshop.com/

College Hockey:Wisconsin-Superior progressing thanks to goalie star power
Dan Stauber knew it would be a challenge for his Wisconsin-Superior team to travel to New York and play a pair of games against nationally-ranked opponents.
Not to mention the toll a long trip can take on a team.
But while the Yellow Jackets had been up and down in the weeks prior to the PrimeLink Great Northern ShootOut, they seemed to step up their game against Plattsburgh and Norwich.
Sure, Superior was beaten 4-1 by a Plattsburgh team that is now No. 1 in the country, but it capped its weekend with a impressive 3-0 win against previously-unbeaten Norwich, which entered the weekend ranked second in the country.
Superior left the tournament as the first western team to win a game in the event. Western teams were 0-11 before the Yellow Jackets' victory.
"We had not played up to our standard early on and we knew it was going to be a very difficult weekend for us," Stauber said. "We knew we had to step up if we were going to have a chance to be successful. I thought we held our own against Plattsburgh, but we didn't capitalize on some chances. Against Norwich, we we were very sound on defense. Overall, it was a good weekend for us."
One of the things that stood out to Stauber was the toughness his team displayed in the two games, both physically and mentally.
"I felt like our guys had great mental toughness and we were physical when we had to be," Stauber said. "We want to be a hard-working team every night and I thought we worked very hard over the weekend. We stayed true to who we are as a team."
The Yellow Jackets, who are now 4-5-0, now turn their attention to WIAC play and go into conference action knowing they have two goaltenders capable of stepping up on any given night.
Drew Strandberg has played in five games and has racked up 125 saves with a 2.22 GAA.
Division I transfer Dayn Belfour has seen action in four games and has tallied 75 saves. He has a 2.88 GAA and played his best game at Superior in the win over Norwich. Belfour, the son of former NHL goalie Ed Belfour, earned his first shutout as he came through with 27 saves.
"The thing about Dayn is he plays the puck very well," Stauber said. "But Drew is a very good goalie, too. They have different styles of play, but both of them are capable of playing well. We are excited about having two goalies who can step up and we plan to continue to rotate them as much as possible."
Superior will need to be at its best to contend for a title in the WIAC, which features two teams ranked in the top 10. Wisconsin-Eau Claire is the defending national champion and ranked seventh in the nation this week, while Wisconsin-Stevens Point is unbeaten and ranked fourth.
"I would say right now [that] Stevens Point is the team to beat," Stauber said. "They have come blazing out of the gate. Eau Claire is very good, though, even with the players they lost from last year. It's a tough league and you have to come to play at a high level every night."
But the good news for Superior, despite having a roster that features 10 freshmen, is that it gained a great deal of confidence from its effort in New York. It doesn't hurt that it also has a win over St. Scholastica, which is currently ranked No. 10 in the nation.
"We talked after the weekend about how we have an expectation to play at a certain level and we have proven we can do it," Stauber said. "Our expectations are high and we have to be ready to go because every night will be a challenge. It's going to be interesting to see how things play out."
CONTENDER ALERT: Fourth-ranked Stevens Point and seventh-ranked Eau Claire were both off this past weekend, but they are clearly the frontrunners for the WIAC championship.
One team will have a slight edge in the title race after Friday as the two contenders collide on Friday night in Eau Claire.
Stevens Point, which has won its first eight games, has scored six or more goals eight times. Garrett Ladd has fueled the offense with eight goals and eight assists.
Kyle Brodie has tallied four goals and six assists, while Scott Henegar has come through with three goals and seven assists. The Pointers have racked up 50 goals and have allowed just 17.
Brandon Jaeger has started seven games in goal and owns a GAA of 1.57. He has tallied 125 saves.
Eau Claire has lost two of its last three, both to St. Norbert, and has tallied 27 goals on the season. It has allowed 18.
Jon Waggoner leads the team in scoring with five goals and four assists. Tyler Green has a GAA of 3.00 and has tallied 127 saves.
The game on Friday between the Pointers and Blugolds will be the first of three meetings between the two teams this season.

This thread can be broken up into two questions.
First I am trying to understand the proof that $MIN_{TM}$ is not recursively enumerable.
If M is a Turing machine, then we say that the length of the description of $\langle$M$\rangle$ of M is the number of symbols in the string describing M. We say that M is minimal if there is no Turing machine equivalent to M that has a shorter description. We let
$MIN_{TM}$={$\langle$M$\rangle$|M is a minimal TM}
Claim: $MIN_{TM}$={$\langle$M$\rangle$|M is a minimal TM} is not R.E.
Proof (by Sipser):
C="On input w:
1. Obtain, via the recursion theorem, own description $\langle$C$\rangle$
2. Run the enumerator E until a machine D appears with a longer description than that of C.
3. Stimulate D on input w".
Question: Since $MIN_{TM}$ is infinite why does it follow that E's list must contain a TM with a longer description than C's description and is also equivalent to C?
Since it follows that E's list must contain a TM with a longer description than C's description then step 2 of C must eventually terminate with some TM D that is longer than C. Then C stimulates D and is equivalent to it. Since, C is shorter than D and is equivalent to it, D cannot be minimal. But D appears on the list that E produces, thus a contradiction.
Second question:
Let x be a binary string. We say that the minimal description of x, written as d(x), is the shortest string $\langle$M,w$\rangle$ where TM M on input w halts with x on its tape. So, the Kolmogorov-Chaitin Complexity K(x) is written as, K(x)=|d(x)|. K(x) is defined to be the length of minimal description of x.
Question: How can you prove that K(x) is uncomputable? The proofs I read on wikipedia and other sites are proofs that involve programming arguments. I am not a computer scientist nor do I have any knowledge in programming (just a math student). I would like to see a cohesive (but simple) mathematics proof. I read that the decidability of Kolmogrovo-Chaitin complexity would imply that the halting problem is decidable, how?

A pangram is a sentence that uses each letter of the alphabet at least once.
- Pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs.
- How vexingly quick daft zebras jump.
A perfect pangram uses each letter of the alphabet exactly once.
- TV quiz jock, Mr. PhD, bags few lynx.
- Hjelmqvist-Gryb-Zock-Pfund-Wax
An isogram (or heterogram) is a single word that uses each letter at most once.
- uncopyrightable
- subdermatoglyphic
But what word/phrase describes a sentence that uses each letter at most once?
- Bide my frog's quack.
- Jaws flunked copyright.
- Put back my English word!
Surprisingly, I can't find any reference to sentences of this type either in a quick scan of Word Ways or in Ross Eckler's Making the Alphabet Dance.

It's electrifying!
Last week Lanny Bergner installed his work Electrifying the Grid at Seattle City Light's (SCL) South Service Center. The piece is located in a conference room and consists of seven wall mounted painted MDF (a type of fiberboard) panels, each serving as backing boards for 16 patterned and burned stainless steel, mesh 3-D forms. The mesh forms are mounted creating a four-by-four-foot grid.
Bergner's artwork is inspired by electrical grids, energy transmission, pulsing energy sources, electrical sparks and lightning. It is dedicated to the men and women who construct and maintain the SCL electricalgrid. The artwork represents light, energy and the structural power needed to harness it. The piece was funded by SCL 1% for Arts funds.

The longstanding independent fellowship training programs in hematology and medical oncology at both North Shore University Hospital and Long Island Jewish Medical Center were merged in 2010 as the core internal medicine programs were joined as one. North Shore and LIJ are both tertiary care teaching facilities and two of the cornerstones of the North Shore-LIJ Health System. With a service area encompassing Long Island and metropolitan New York City, the North Shore-LIJ Health System has become the nation's second-largest nonprofit, secular healthcare system and one of the country's largest clinically integrated healthcare networks. Embedded in the North Shore-LIJ Health System is the Hofstra North Shore-LIJ School of Medicine at Hofstra University.
The goal of the North Shore-LIJ Hematology and Medical Oncology Fellowship Program is to develop physicians who will provide excellent and compassionate cancer care. We aspire to educate and train clinical oncologists who will utilize the professional, cognitive, and the technical skills necessary to provide their patients with the highest quality of care.
The North Shore-LIJ Health System's Hematology and Medical Oncology Program has participated for several decades in four National Cancer Institute-sponsored clinical trials and has been identified as the repository of state-of-the-art clinical research protocols for both treatment and cancer control on Long Island. The health system is identified as one of the major diagnostic and treatment centers for patients with malignant disease residing in the New York metropolitan area.
The Monter Cancer Center houses our cancer services, which include pain and palliative care programs, nutrition counseling, social work and support services, a patient education center, and a nationally recognized clinical trials program. The Monter Cancer Center is part of the Center for Advanced Medicine and also incorporates urology (Smith Institute for Urology), a large and comprehensive diagnostic imaging center, ambulatory surgery, and women's health services. Expansion of the center is currently underway and will include the addition of multidisciplinary teams in gynecologic oncology and neuro-oncology, among other disciplines and services.

User reviews on Sex and the City
Hello Ladies! These reviews are not so fare! Because most were wrote by guys.
This is not guys movie! Don't ask your man to go with you for this movie, because they end up writes terrible reviews, see? (^_^;)
I am not big fun of "Sex and the City." I know the story, I saw many stories on TV, but I did never care even I missed whole seasons of this show.
But this movie was very good! Please believe me, it was so much better than I thought.
I had never seen like this good "Sex in the City†at all before, for sure.
I want to say this movie is showing many forms of Love.
Start loving some one-> Keep the love fresh -> Marriage -> Life partner… Love changes by conditions we are in.
In this movie, So many hearts touching moments…and of course you see pretty things and funny things too… :)
I recommend this movie to... if you are girl 30+ at least. This movie will touch your heart if you are experienced enough relationships or problems. :P
Best way to see this movie is… find the time and just go by yourself! (^^♪ Get popcorn and soda and you are all set!
That's I did and that is the best way to enjoy this movie!
I think this movie was almost 5 stars as "Sex and the City.†But as a movie, I want to give 3.5. But right now the review star point are so low by those guys (-_-;) so here I give it 4 stars!
At my death, I will regret the loss of this two hours and 15 minutes. If YOUR wife asks you to go, offer to clean the house while she goes with friends...even offer to pay for fruited martinis. Do anything, but save yourself.
I went to see this movie last night being Wednesday 7/2/08 alone and I loved it. I am a big Sex and the City fan and this movie was brilliantly done. A must see and own...
IT was awesome, i really loved the sex and the city. I would have easily given it 5 stars right up until the dude whipped his penis out it all went down hill from there cuz one penis is one too many penis's. So save ur money and dont see this movie cuz they should rename it, sex and the terribly gross penis.
Review of "Sex and the City"
by Jim [email protected]
This film is THE chick flick. Warriors..Avoid .
Women: read the following to find the way to get your guy to go to this movie.
Usual invitation to a movie:
She: Honey. Do you want to She, "Sex and the City"?
He: No. Its is a chick flick.
She: But you will be able to understand women better. What they feel. What they want. What they need.
He: What they want is from me to murmur approvals and to pay the bills.
She: Really!! Fine. I'll just go with my girl friends!
He: Have a good time.
Female using strategy:
Sh e: Honey. Did you know that the film,"Sex in the City", is really a combat training film for Marines!
He: What!
She: It is a how-to training film. It's a series of case studies on how to survive in a potentially hostile environment when you can not always shoot back. Think Iraq. Think New York. They are very similar.
He: Really?
She: Have you or any of your friends ever been pinned down by hostile verbal fire - by a woman - and had no idea of how to get out of it?
He: We sure have.
She: One of my co-workers saw the film. He said he learned from the film. He said that if he had to put up with one of the wives he saw in the film, he would tell the wife that he was going to family therapy next Wednesday and she could come if she wanted to.
He: What happened?
She: I don't know. The guy said the film helped him develop effective tactical retreat maneuvers. Whatever that means...
He: Hmmn
She: (Silence)
She: (Silence)
He: OK. You can invite any of our couple friends. Just be sure to tell them that I am just going along to keep you company.
Try it!
It was okay. Totally chick flick! It would have been better without the steamy love scenes or rather, more tasteful scenes. I don't see any academy awards mentioned for this film "unless" from a "diehard" Sex in the City fan.

This movie overall was very good. It had its touching moments, steamy scenes, and parts where you couldn't help but laugh. Not exactly a movie for young teens and under, as there is definately a lot of sex and nudity. So whether you're a fan of the show or need a movie with some good romances in it, this show is a must see.
Went to see it with a friend. It was ok. Entertaining as you can see how the 50 something crowd that used to be part of the 30 something crowd, is trying to stay ahead of father time and age lines and cracks.
No matter how much make up they used they are indeed middle aged--headed for senior citizen status.
This film portrays the fast-buring and corrupt lifetstyle that if in reality you actually pursued it would lead you to bankruptcy and a hatred of growing old.
