30 Jul What Is Candida And Are Anti-candida Diets Going To Work For Me?
Candida is an incredibly common problem and what is thought as some other symptom is actually more often than not linked to candida. I have found that more often than not clients have got a fungal infection. Often it is the fungal infection that is driving them mad and has made them listen up to what is going on in the body. They may of tried a few things in the past to deal with the symptom but more often than not they come to me now ready to sort it out once and for all.
There are so many symptoms that candida can present with and being a functional diagnostic nutrition practitioner I tend to not look at symptoms and instead head to the root cause. You see we are a population of people taking pills, supplements and potions for symptoms, we spend a fortune on it and never really fix the actual under lying issue. Instead we need to address the underlying problem, that way you are then able to find healing opportunities for your body and bring it back into balance.
When you understand exactly what is going on in your body you can make clear decisions as to the path you need to take moving forward.
Here are some common candida related symptoms
- Athletes foot.
- Babies – colic, diaper rash and cradle cap
- Cold hands or feet, low body temperature and cold like symptoms
- Flu symptoms – mucus, sinus, sore nose and throat
- Cravings and binge eating, plus addictions for sugar, bread or alcohol
- Digestive issues – diarrhea, constipation, abdominal distention, bloating or pain, gas, mucus in the stools
- Ears – itchiness, ringing in the ears, ear infections, dryness, pain, ear aches, discharges, abnormal wax build-up
- Eyes – redness, dryness, itching, excessive tearing, inability to tear, watery eyes
- Fatigue (chronic fatigue syndrome, adrenal fatigue) or a feeling of being drained of energy, lethargy, drowsiness.
- Glands – swollen, sore, dryness in the mouth
- Hair loss -dandruff, itchy scalp, scalp sores and dryness.
- Headaches, migraines, brain fog, dizziness, etc.
- Rashes, irritations or redness on skin
- Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar)
- Hypothyroidism, hyperthyrodism
- Irritability, nervousness, jitteriness and anxiousness
- Male – Jock itch, loss of sex drive
- Female – infertility, unusual odors, endometriosis (irregular or painful menstruation), cramps, menstrual irregularities, pre-menstrual syndrome (PMS), loss of sexual drive, persistent infections.
- Fungal infections on the skin or nails.
- Joint pain, stiffness or swelling (arthritis).
- Kidney & bladder – urinary frequency or urgency, smelly urine, difficulty urinating, burning pain when urinating.
- Lack of appetite or excessive appetite
- Mind & Mood – anxiety attacks, crying spells, memory loss, feeling spaced out, depression, inability to concentrate, mood swings, irritability, etc.
- Mouth sores or blisters, dryness, bad breath, and a white coating on the tongue (thrush).
- Muscle aches and pain, numbness, burning or tingling, and lack of strength and coordination.
- Nasal congestion, postnasal drip, itching, dryness.
- Odour of the feet, hair or body not relieved by washing.
- Respiratory – cough, recurrent bronchitis or pneumonia, pain or tightness in the chest, wheezing, shortness of breath, asthma.
- Sick all over feeling.
- Sinus inflammation, swelling and infections.
- Skin – dryness, dry red patches, acne, pimples, hives, rashes, itching skin, eczema, psoriasis, seborrhoea, ringworm, contact dermatitis.
- Stomach – heartburn, indigestion, belching, vomiting, burning, pains, needle-like pains
- Sleep – insomnia, waking up frequently, nightmares, restless sleep, etc.
As you can see candida is linked to many things, the key is to find out why candida is thriving and bring it all back into balance. Inside the online gym I go into more detail about the types of foods you should be eating, and how you can relieve symptoms of candida through getting your food right and address the root cause. Often what is thought of as the right foods to heal candida may not actually be right for you.
In fact one of the main foods that every one gets told to avoid when it comes to candida could actually help. It could also help lower cortisol, support adrenals, keep the white cells working, help to increase thyroid function, and keeps the yeast from becoming invasive. An anti-candida diet may temporarily help the symptom of candida, but our body is a system of systems and unless you address the underlying cause and treat the body as a whole and as an individual you will never deal with the issue and continue to put up with it.

As you may know, my academic blog, Economics and Ethics, is on Typepad, and I'm constantly on that, so it makes sense from a practical point of view to port The Comics Professor over there too.

These responses to The "Real Man" Project just keep on surprising me! Today, we have Cocky Boys' exclusive model Seth Knight (who can be seen in action here, here or here) sharing his view on what it takes to be a "real man".
He argues in favor of internal qualities over physical attributes, and while that in itself isn't all too shocking, Seth's example of the "ultimate real man" made us look twice! I mean, was he even alive in the '80s? Is it possible that Seth is secretly forty years-old and maintains his youthful image by bathing in the semen of Brent Corrigan? Or is it possible—AUDIBLE GASP—that twinks actually know things?
The world may never know. But at least we'll (soon) be able to have sex with Seth whenever we want.
– Dewitt

Click through to find out how Seth Knight defines a "real man":
Most people think a "Real Man" is someone who's straight-acting, muscular, butch, etc… To me, a "Real Man" has nothing to do with physical qualities at all. A "Real Man" can come in many forms, like a drag queen, transvestite, twink, twunk, bear, straight, bi, etc.
The internal qualities are what define a man as a "Real Man". To me, this is someone who respects everyone's opinions. Someone who hold his values and morals even when faced in troubled times. Someone who does not lie, steal or cheat to get ahead in life. Someone who is comfortable in his own skin and not afraid to show others. Someone who leads, rather than following what society says is acceptable.
I think there are many "Real Men" all around us, but the one I think of the most is Ryan White.
Most people have heard the name but may not know the whole story. Ryan White was a teenager from Indiana who became infected with HIV from a contaminated blood treatment in December 1984. Doctors announced he only had six months to live and posed no risk to other students.
However, since HIV was not understood at the time, he was banned from his school. He fought a lengthy battle against the school system and public education. Ryan surprised everyone by living 5 years longer, but died in April 1990, one month prior to his graduation from high school.
Ryan White is a legend, the definition of a "Real Man". When faced with hard times, he did not give up on his beliefs and life. He found until the end and never backed down. To him, giving up was not an option. He brought light onto an important issue that effects the whole world. Not just gays, but everyone.

A water leak at a Financial District hotel forced about 400 people to evacuate in the middle of the night Monday, an FDNY spokesman said.
The leak, which sprung from a fire sprinkler pipe on the roof of the Holiday Inn on Washington Street at about 4:15 a.m., flooded the upper floors and the elevator system, the spokesman said. The building has more than 50 floors.
Most of the guests were able to return to their rooms a few hours later.
A spokesman for InterContinental Hotels Group, which owns Holiday Inn, said the company is working to relocate guests who could not return to their rooms to nearby hotels.
"IHG, owner of the Holiday Inn brand, holds the safety, comfort and well-being of our guests as a top priority," the spokesman said in an email. "Many guests have been able to return to their rooms and the hotel team is working closely with its vendors to restore full operational functionality as soon as possible."

General James Conway The 34th Commandant of the Marine Corps
Good Afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen,
My name is General Conway. As a three star General serving with my marines in Iraq in two tours. I was one of those people who made a promise to your countrymen. That is why I am here with you today. I have for you three quick points:
First of all, I fear that the United States Immigration system is nearing dysfunction. You heard General Shelton and Attorney General Muksey talk about things they were tempting to do as US representatives to bring those people from Liberty into our country. I wish I had more confidence that, that was going to happen. As a nation we follow some of our immigration laws, others we choose to ignore. Today as we sit here we have tens of thousands of people coming across our southern border and ridiculously we go to interview those people at Liberty which clearly meet the definition for political asylum and yet we somehow are not allowing that to happen.
I am more concerned than ever before for the safety and security of your country men at Liberty when the world is distracted by other events, Syria, the attacks into Iraq, the Ukrainian situation, there is ample precedent for bad people doing bad things, so I am concerned for their safety and security
My third point is that, and this is really to all the nations that are represented today here, many of home they have superb records for humanitarian assistance, I ask you not to wait on the United States because if you do that it may be too late. I ask, that you consider doing the right thing for those people who again in my mind they are in increased levels of jeopardy before the real danger approaches. Doing the right thing does not depend on someone else gong first. So please as you go back to your nations tell them what you see here today and try to make a difference.

First of all… I would say, that any opportunity to fellowship with others, with the purpose of celebrating in giving praise and honor to our Lord God, IS A GOOD THING! (Wouldn't you?)
That having been initially stated, 'Hanukkah' itself (or 'Chanukah') is an eight-day Jewish holiday commencing in the late Fall to early Winter of each year. This year (2014), the celebration of 'Hanukkah' is between December 16th-24th.
'Hanukkah' (HAH-nə-kə); or a transliteration also romanized as 'Chanukah' or 'Chanukkah', also known as the "Festival of Lights" or "Feast of Dedication", is a Jewish holiday commemorating the rededication of the Holy Temple (the Second Temple) in Jerusalem, following the time of the 'Maccabean Revolt' against the Seleucid Empire of the 2nd century B.C. 'Hanukkah' is observed for eight nights and days, starting on the 25th day of Kislev according to the Hebrew calendar, which may occur at any time from late November to late December on the modern Gregorian calendar that is most widely used by the world today. 'Hanukkah' has became more widely celebrated since the 1970s, when Rabbis called for public awareness of the festival and promoted the lighting of public menorahs outside of their places of worship, as well as also encouraging a wider usage of those for in the home.
It got its one name, the "Festival of Lights", as 'Hanukkah' is a festival observed by the kindling of the lights of a unique candelabrum, the nine-branched menorah or 'hanukiah'; with one at a time each night of the holiday a single light being lit, progressing to eight on the final night. The typical menorah consists of eight branches with an additional visually distinct branch. The typical menorah consists of eight branches with an additional visually distinct branch. This extra light (called a 'shamash') is given a distinct location to have a light available all the time for practical use, since using the 'Hanukkah' lights themselves for purposes other than publicizing and meditating upon 'Hanukkah' is forbidden.
'Hanukkah' (meaning "dedication" in Hebrew) is also a festival celebrated by surrounding fellowship with bountiful meals, music and joyous activities, thus the name "Feast of Dedication" as well, and in remembrance of restoring the Holy Temple of Jerusalem. The feasts usually include eating oil based foods such as doughnuts and latkes. Other 'Hanukkah' festivities may include playing games with the 'dreidel' and playing festive music while singing and dancing.
In brief, 'Hanukkah' commemorates the success of the Maccabean Revolt versus Judea's occupational forces and patron leadership of that time (then a Hellenistic state ruled by the Seleucid dynasty – formerly under Alexander the Great). This was the period for a few hundred years after the writings of the Old Testament Hebrew Bible and before the time of the birth of Jesus along with the foundation of the New Testament Bible. The historical record found in the 'Book of the Maccabees' are considered "Apocryphal" texts and thus do not appear in many variations of the Christian Bible, but are still found in the Rabbinical writings of the Jews yet are otherwise not found in the Hebrew Bible either.
During the 2nd century B.C., the Hellenistic leaders of Jerusalem and their sympathetic majority of patron priests who currently administered the Holy Temple of the Hebrews, allowed for the adoption of a shared place of worship; being used by both the Jews and pagan followers of the Greek gods as well. When the Hellenistic followers placed statues of Greek deities in the courtyards of the Holy Temple, this was too much to be tolerated by some of the non-sympathetic and more Orthodox Jews, as it was considered a defilement of their sacred place of worship. One Rabbi spoke out to the extent of defacing one of the statues, whereas a brawl immediately broke out and resulted in one of the Hellenistic followers being inadvertently slain by the Rabbi. That event was the beginning of the 'Maccabean Revolt' (named for the family of the conflict's leaders). This led to most of the loyal Jewish rebels fleeing from Jerusalem and hiding out in nearby mountain caves (i.e. where the 'Dead Sea Scrolls' were hidden away and later discovered). From there, the rebels continued to conduct "guerilla warfare" versus the occupational forces (lasting from 167 to 160 B.C.), until the final overthrow of the Hellenistic leadership of Jerusalem.
Unfortunately, the Holy (2nd Temple) of Jerusalem had been looted and badly damaged during the years of turmoil and its "eternal flame" had long been extinguished. This required the rededication of the temple to restore its solemn holy nature (an eight-day process) during which, its own set of miraculous events occurred as the ceremony commenced. This rededication is where the following annual commemorative celebration of 'Hanukkah' originated and has continued to this day ever since.
By 63 B.C., the kingdom of Judea was next conquered by the Roman Republic. These were now the new occupational leadership and rulers of Jerusalem, up until the time that Jesus was born and Christianity originated. The only mention of 'Hanukkah' in the New Testament Bible comes from later in the life of Jesus, where He is documented in the Gospel of John (10:22-23) as: "…it was the 'Feast of Dedication' in Jerusalem, and it was winter. And Jesus walked in the temple, in Solomon's porch."
Also, the first century Romano-Jewish Historian Josephus, in his book 'Jewish Antiquities XII', records the following observance: "Now Judas celebrated the festival of the restoration of the sacrifices of the temple for eight days… he feasted them upon very rich and splendid sacrifices; and he honored God, and delighted them by hymns and psalms… And from that time to this we celebrate this festival, and call it 'Lights'. I suppose the reason was, because this liberty beyond our hopes appeared to us; and that thence was the name given to that festival."
Other than these references to the time during the life of Jesus, the importance of 'Hanukkah' holds a special place of significance for ALL Christians. For if the 'Maccabean Revolt' had not been successful, then the Hebrew nation as a people and the Jewish faith could have very easily become extinct as a result.
Now in the modern era, some Jews have even embraced Jesus (the 'Christ') as their prophesied messiah and a more messianic approach to Judaism, acknowledging Him as divinity and the actual progeny of our Father God in Heaven. In more recent years, The 'Southern Baptist Convention' asked Messianic Rabbi Derek Leman to write a book for them on the subject of the Hebrew feast observances. It is entitled: 'Feast: Finding Your Place at the Table of Tradition'; which covers the Biblical Feast traditions very well, especially with an understanding for Christians. I (the author of this article) heard him comment once, stating a brief summary for the theme of the 'Hanukkah' celebration, in paraphrasing: "They (the foreign occupational forces) tried to wipe us (the Jews) out, by making us not be Jews anymore… They failed… so let us eat and celebrate that fact".
All levity aside, this reminded me how the 'Hanukkah' celebration relates perfectly to Christianity. It is all about celebrating our Lord God. It is through this vital community aspect of gathering together in fellowship for these occasions, where we can collectively give praise and honor to the Lord for His provision in our lives, for His continued blessings, and for His divine hand in perpetuating our very existence.
Rabbi Leman makes another very important observation about this Jewish holiday observance. He reflected (as mentioned above) that roughly 160 years before the birth of Jesus Christ, the Jewish people came very close to being completely wiped out… and not only by war, but by complete assimilation as well. He continued that: "You do not have to kill the Jews to bring the Jewish people to an end. All you have to do is to get them to stop being Jews… by having them stop following their traditions, to stop obeying the laws of God, to worship like everybody else does. When that happens, there will be no Jewish people anymore." To not just be tolerant or apathetic but to act and be like everyone else (almost like many aspects of modern Christianity). Hence he also observes: "If there had not been a reason that we (the Jews) celebrate 'Hanukkah', then the reason that Christians celebrate 'Christmas' itself may have never occurred. What people would Jesus ('Yeshua the Messiah') have been born into, if the Jews had simply disappeared as a unique culture and distinct nation of people, before Jesus was even born?"
This is one of the most vital and important aspects of 'Hanukkah' to the Christian faith. If the bloodline from the 'House if David' had been interrupted and extinguished, then the coming of the prophesied "Messiah" likewise could not have occurred. Thus, Jesus (as "the Christ") would never have been born from that bloodline and the Christian movement as a faith, could have never happened – SOMETHING TO SERIOUSLY REFLECT UPON FOR US ALL.
Another fact is, we (Jews and Christians alike) are actually both supposed to be one combined faith now – yet, are still not because we live in a "broken" world full of sin where imperfection has corrupted it:
"…and you, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and with them became a partaker of the root and fatness of the olive tree, do not boast against the branches. You will say then, 'Branches were broken off that I might be grafted in'…For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written…
For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things, to whom be glory forever. Amen."
(Romans 11:17-19, 25-26, 26 NKJ)
This plight will not be corrected and the world made whole again until the "second coming" of the Messiah and restoration of the 'Kingdom of Heaven' and Holy Temple here on Earth, with Jesus himself as its High Priest and supreme king above all things. Which by the way, is also the prophetic side of the 'Hanukkah' celebration and another connection with Christianity – as a new rededication of the temple will occur (with perhaps a NEW and renewed 'Hanukkah' celebration and observance as well).
TODAY: That is why I say… "Chag Sameach" (Happy Holidays)!
May you have a happy Hanukkah and joyful Christmas holiday season!

Hi, I am working on simulat
I am working on simulating swirling flow through a nozzle. I have been able to run steady-state incompressible flow using simpleFoam, but when I attempt to run the same geometry compressibly using rhoSimpleFoam the pressure goes negative.
I am using:
- Atmosphere BCs at inlet and outlet (totalPressure and pressureInletOutletVelocity)
- Default discretization except div(phi,U) which is limitedLinearV 1.0
- Cyclic boundary conditions
- Relatively low under-relaxation factors (0.2 p, 0.4 U, 0.1 k, eps, h, and rho)
Varying these parameters changes when the pressure goes negative, but it always does at some time or another. The blowup appears in a straight channel portion of the domain where a region of low pressure will move upstream, followed by high pressure, then low, etc. There seems to be no effect on velocity that I can see as a result of these pressure oscillations.
I am just about out of ideas as to what could be causing this. Does anyone know what might be wrong and what I can do to fix it? I'd appreciate any advice you can give.

MSPs to investigate if fox hunting ban is being flouted
MSPs have been asked to investigate claims Scotland's fox hunting ban is being flouted, it emerged yesterday.
Fox hunting was banned in the UK in 2005
The Scottish Government wants Holyrood to examine the effectiveness of the 13-year-old ban – just as the House of Commons prepares to vote on a move to relax English and Welsh laws to bring them into line with Scottish legislation.
Animal welfare campaigners are calling on SNP MPs to oppose the Conservatives' move on Wednesday.
Nationalist MPs have traditionally refrained from voting on issues which do not affect Scotland, although any intervention from the 56 parliamentarians could prove crucial.
But the SNP has yet to decide on its stance or if its MPs will participate in the vote.
The decision to scrutinise the ban in Scotland was revealed in a letter from environment minister Dr Aileen McLeod to the League Against Cruel Sports Scotland (LACSS).
Under the Protection of Mammals (Scotland) Act 2002, dogs can only be used if they are "flushing" foxes from cover towards waiting guns.
The truth is that, as a result of our video exposé of what is really going on in the Scottish countryside, the Scottish legislation is subject to a parliamentary inquiry
The LACSS alleged videos taken on five of Scotland's hunts saw no shotguns in use over 16 days of filming from mid-December to mid-March.
Ms McLeod said she "would be very concerned" if the law was being flouted.
She added that ministers contacted Police Scotland Chief Constable Sir Stephen House, who had agreed to look into the matter further.
She also said it would be "helpful" if there was "further parliamentary scrutiny" of the issue.
Robbie Marsland, the director of LACSS, said: "The government in Westminster says it is attempting to innocently harmonise English and Scottish hunting legislation.
"The truth is that, as a result of our video exposé of what is really going on in the Scottish countryside, the Scottish legislation is subject to a parliamentary inquiry."
A Police Scotland spokesman said: "Police Scotland has robust procedures in place to deal with all rural and wildlife crimes reported to us and we will and do investigate these thoroughly.
"We continue to appeal to the public who have any information or concerns to contact us on 101."

Butch Crosbie, the president of the Hamilton Historical Society, never seems to tire of the story of the Boston Post Cane.
Butch Crosbie, the president of the Hamilton Historical Society, never seems to tire of the story of the Boston Post Cane.
Begun as a promotional stunt in 1909 by the Boston Post publisher Edwin Grozier as a way to drum up publicity for the newspaper, the practice of awarding the cane to the oldest citizen in town was so well received, the PR aspect of it fell away and people embraced the idea of honoring the elderly to whom it is traditionally given.
There are few in Hamilton-Wenham who do not know the story of the cane, and even fewer who do not know some of its mystery, said Crosbie, from his Hamilton Historical Society offices in the basement of Town Hall.
As is often the case in such matters, the rumors abound. A random Chronicle poll of local residents brought up much intrigue. Many stories involve theft, the reasons many. There was a housebreak, some say. Or the cane was taken because of its materials (the original canes were African ebony, their tips of 14 carat gold). There were the canes with which someone absconded as part of a family dispute, and there were those that broke in half. More than one person claims, with all certainty, that the cane has been tucked, 'twixt body and silk, in the casket of the (presumably) last recipient whose last known address was the Hamilton Cemetery, Bay Road, Hamilton, MA, 01982.
Are the rumors true? Crosbie was asked. He shrugged. Can't verify all that, he says. However, he can tell you that, more than once, the cane has been refused.
Refused? Why?
"They call it 'The Death Cane.' People have said that once you get it, you die."
Hale and hearty
Those in the Two Towns should take comfort in the fact that not all regard the cane as an omen. Anything but. Because rumor also holds that more than one recipient has lived a long(er) and happ(ier) life after having received the cane. Many in town honor it as the symbol of wisdom and longevity it traditionally symbolized.
Take this year's honorees. Albert. D. Coonrod, born on July 27, 1916, recently celebrated his 95th birthday, and Helen M. Goggin, born on July 24, 1912, her 99th. Anyone who attended each of the ceremonies recently can attest that each party is hale and hearty. This would describe the first recipient of the cane, according to Barbara Staples in her book, "Boston Post Canes," the first recipient of the Hamilton cane.
Nirum Neal was quite the athlete, according to Staples, a Lynn historian.
"A great pedestrian, Mr. Neal was known to walk from North Berwick, Maine, to Hamilton," about a 50-something trek. Mr. Neal could cradle more rye than any man in town, and when he wasn't hauling or dragging something he was laying tracks for the Eastern railroad.
A tradition dies out
Hamilton was not the only town to receive a cane. More than 430 were given to towns and cities in Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Rhode Island. The cane read, "Presented by the Boston Post to the oldest citizen of the town. To be transmitted." Initially, only men received them. (Many have surmised that because the term "citizen" referred to a voter, it was given only to men because they had the vote. Women were not allowed the carry the cane until 1930, 10 years after they got the vote.)
Due attention was given the matter in the Boston Post, which ceased publication in 1957. Soon after, the cane tradition died, and Hamilton was no exception.
However, that was not the end of the story. In 2002, in part inspired by a manufacturer who wished to resume manufacture of the cane, the tradition was revived. Crosby welcomed it, and arranged for each recipient to receive a contract and a certificate along with the cane.
A mace
Much can be said about the cane and it history, but perhaps its legacy can be best felt if one holds the cane in one's hands. The cane balances very well, and it's tempting to twirl it, as one would a baton, or hold it aloft or in one's arms, as a mace. These days the tip is made of brass and the shaft is mahogany, but one may as well be holding an elegant ebony-and-gold cane.
At that point, the history of the cane as a publicity stunt falls away, and one is left with the original desire to honor the ceremony attending its gift; for the gift, it is clear, is not from the town of Hamilton to the oldest citizen, but from the oldest citizen to the town of Hamilton.

[Plugin: NextGen Gallery] Phantom, empy album coming up
I've been adding galleries and albums to my photo blog without too much issue (aside from a now-fixed-by-my-web-host upload error) but yesterday, a new problem cropped up. Started a new page for a different year, added the one gallery so far for that year into a newly created album. Dropped that album into the page, exactly as I have on other pages. The end result, is an empty, phantom gallery. I've checked and re-checked and can't see what I have overlooked. The empty gallery can be seen on this page:
By comparison, if you go to
You also see one gallery and no phantom gallery. The example at the first link is the first new gallery I have done since my web host fixed the upload error. Is it possible that fix could have broken something else? Or am I missing something stupidly obvious. When I look at the source, it shows me an additional div tag to show just the gallery (as opposed to album). I tried deleting the page and re-adding it, but the problem remains.
what am I missing? Thanks..
- The topic '[Plugin: NextGen Gallery] Phantom, empy album coming up' is closed to new replies.

i really dont know what to say.look like you ve done a lot work for chinese girls.
The vast majority of women that you'll meet in Beijing are actually probably a mix of those two stereotypes - which is exactly what they are, BTW. Cos everyone is a UNIQUE FLOWER. Nah, just playing.
Dunno why you're so cranked up about the English-speaking chicks not wanting to speak Chinese with you. For they are probably thinking the opposite - "Why is this foreigner trying to speak Chinese with me? I just want to practice my English!"
入乡随俗 we are in China if we end up in America, there's not way I'll force her to speak Chinese with me. Improving my Chinese is and will always be a major goal of mine, but if I can't use it with the girl I'm dating, I'll be forced to spend less time with her.
Hahahaha ... Mr Tang does not seem to be a (complete) foreigner ... he knows Traditional Chinese ... so my guess might be Taiwan or Hong Kong ...
Anyway ... Tang ... the type of girl you are targeting would mostly be someone who has lived or even grew up overseas, and can still speak Chinese ... over the years, I have noticed many ABC (Australian Born) or AGC (Australian Grown) Chinese, such as my cousins and a few other girls, would tend to speak English when they were young, and the started adopting Chinese when they started Uni or working ... but, the "crowd factor" is also important ...
So ... maybe, target girls who returned from overseas?
Hahahahaha ... if even I can find a wife ... you should not have much trouble ...
There are two types of people: those who dichotomize everything, and those who aren't total cunts.
I can't find a boy friend, cause I can't find anyone can match my notorious sense of humer, no matter in English or Chinese! haha
however, answering in English is assuming I can't speak Chinese at a basic level, which I think is a little insulting. I appreciate the fact that she may be trying to help, but in fact for me it is not helping at all. If I wanted to I could approach her in English, but instead I choose Chinese for a reason.
I could find a chinese tutor anywhere, my point is i dont want to have to sacrifice my goals of improving my chinese when we are together. There are most definately ways to solve this, when we are alone only speak English, then when we are out together only speak Chinese...but the point is finding the kind of Chinese girl like that is a little difficult. Like I said, maybe I'm 太挑剔了
(continued) ... I am fairly sure that most foreigners experienced this in the past, i.e. the foreigner spoke in Chinese, but got the reply in English ... my suggestion, smile, and politely ask the other person to speak in Chinese ... I am sure it will work :)
JZ, I don't think you get it.
Let me ask the Chinese girls in the forum a question....
If a foreign guy comes up to you speaking Chinese (fluently, but a little rough at times) how do you normally react? Does it change your perception of him in anyway? If he insisted that you guys use Chinese to communicate, would it turn you off?
因为他们担心 你汉语不够好 怕对你说中文很麻烦 你也不明白
他们对自己的英文 比 对你的中文有信心
不过也不能怪你 因为毕竟中文很难
anyway i don`t think that two kind you wrote make any sens for me ...
where you usually know girls? in a party? or by hanging out?
If i ask a girl randomly, what kind of ice cream flavor did you choose in chinese...where exactly is the language barrier, if she answers in English it shows she understood, plus its not like were talking politics and I have to default to my native language. The girls I meet are everywhere, some out at a party, some at school, some in my neighborhood, at the supermarket, ect.
"it seems highly immoral to allow any girl to invest her feelings in a relationship with you, when your purpose for choosing to be with her is to soak up her Chinese."
The fact that I didn't pick up on that immediately makes me feel like an idiot. I grant you +1 interwebs, don't spend it all in one place.
Sorry, Taidje Tang. Seems you're not any better than the chicks that get with foreign dudes just to practice their English.
Also, if you're *really* having a hard time meeting Chinese women who want to speak Chinese with you, you're probably talking to the wrong ones anyway. Almost every Chinese girl I've had the pleasure to know would be delighted with the idea of having a Chinese-speaking foreign boyfriend.
what if I want a Spanish/Frensh/Italian boyfriend, who want to speak Spanish/Frensh/Italian with me all the time, despite the fact that we both know English and my Spanish is so limited as hell! maybe I'm too 挑剔了!
never speak Chinese with a Laowai, they will only make your Chinese worse! hahaha
trying to help but not helping at all,it happens too much ,maybe tell her to speak chinese to u only,u r more liki looking for language partner.
@I can't find a boy friend, cause I can't find anyone can match my notorious sense of humer, no matter in English or Chinese! haha
ur humor probaly scare the boy away before he tries to appreciate it,don't always scare a guy with a starting line of joke unlcess u mean to.
lower ur humor level then lolllllll
My man, Captain America...youre again missing the point. I have plenty of friends to speak Chinese to. If one of your highest priorities in life was to become a better chef, but because your girlfriend can already cook she doesn't ever let you cook for her, would you want to eat at home with her?
My point is that if I am going to have a girlfriend, I would like to her support me and all of my goals, one of which is improving my chinese. If she can't understand that then I will spend my time in a environment where I can speak more Chinese. It's that simple.
there is not much worse that a girl who will mislead a foreign guy to believe she likes him when in fact all she wants is to improve her english. thats ok if she wants to give it up for that at least she has the opportunity to open her mouth ;)
After all of that reasoning all you fools are reading is the part about body hair, do you not see the major differences in thinking, attitude, and behavior? It's not braodly catagorizing when in my experience this is a very noticable trend. I never said all of them are like this, but I am saying in my experience this is what I have noticed.
Hahahaha ... this site stuffed up my "ctrl F" in IE, so I cannot find where "body hair" is mentioned ... but anyway ...
Tang ... I have checked your photos, and I think I could "pimp" for you, some of them are on-job Chinese teachers ... heehee ...
... for years, I had been told that my Mandarin is really bad, and every time I asked my wife to help me, she would "yes", and then she never actually corrected me, because she said it makes no difference to her whether I speak in English or Cantonese or Mandarin, and she could understand me just fine ...
So ... if you want to meet a girl, have a relationship, while she can also help you to correct your Mandarin, that's fine, but you will need to specify it, and if she likes to help, then I am sure it will work ...
... as for the case where a stranger (female or otherwise) speaks to you in English when you spoke in Mandarin, it is also about communication, and I am sure some of them would like to help to correct your Chinese ...
... and for your comment of "I would like to her support me and all of my goals" ... I have been married for quite a while, so I think I have a little authority to say that it can never be "all" ... because sometimes, there can be conflicts, and then it also comes down to communication and compromise ...
At the end ... the one million dollar question is whether you are willing to communicate, instead of expecting some random girl to know what you want?
I am not looking for a teacher, or anyone to correct my mistakes. I am aware of them and I can correct them myself over time. The point is 刀不磨要生锈,水不流要发臭。Your advice is not bad, and you have similar experience, thanks for your help.
I just think if she can't 给我点面子from time to time and willingly speak Chinese, I don't think I'm the one being selfish.
Anyways, I am taking part in a Chinese competition Championship tomorrow afternoon and it should be on TV. If you want to check it out its 汉语之星。。。look for 邓伟升
oh well.... in this case, I'm traditional ...
*scratching chin*...
right... but here is always a Ms. Stephanie... haha
I don't know why I keep clicking on 'please give me advice on my crippling emotional insecurities' or 'Help! My jingoistic conception of the opposite sex isn't getting me laid.' threads, but here we are again.
I wish getting laid was the problem...If that was ever a problem I could just call up your girlfriend and she would be in my apartment with no panties before I hung up the phone. Instead what I'm looking for is some ones perspective on how to find the right kind of girl, how ever elusive the perfect girl for me may be.
I'd like to hear more female opionions....well, besides Daniels
I'm disappointed that you went the 'I'm so mad' route and stopped at calling me a girl and 'I'd have your girlfriend'. A bit more creativity, please? And as a rule, my girlfriend doesn't go for small Asian-looking guys with illusions of entitlement.
Still, it's difficult to imagine that someone can be so oblivious to their own stupidity as to put it on a public forum, so I call troll.
Fish, Hi. Despite your use of the TBJ acronym in an attempt to display some comparative knowledge of the board etiquette or lack therof on TheBeijinger.com, you seem to be in need of an introductory primer to these forums.
You're welcome.
"It's something about being able to act without repercussions I suppose?"
Many would consider that an advantage of the medium, Fish. Often, people are more sincere when they know there are diminished punitive consequences for speaking what's on their minds.
Don't like it? Take out a pencil and a piece of paper and write a letter to the editor. Those old farts will appreciate your wistfulness for the days when people called one another sir and ma'am.
I find it hard to date traditional Chinese girls because they may not be up to my western standards in terms of presentation and personality
Any post that has this level of prejudice and self-aggrandising is deserving of ridicule. And more than this, taking a post premised on this marginalising and chauvinistic view seriously and giving constructive criticism makes you at best naive and at worst complicit in the dickery that inspired this thread.
It's in the original post of this thread: Fish was asking why I brought negativity, so I quoted that part from the original post which seemed to me to be particularly offensive as a justification for the subsequent negativity.
Presentation is everything
(continued) ... thanks, guess I will have to read through it then ... "ctrl F" would only cause a flick on my screen, but it simply wont work ... ahhhhh ...
I feel hungry ....
Thanks. It felt good to write it.
Daniel, you go and quote me, then say I'm chauvinistic. You're a Lit guy right? Then why in the hell is your reading comprehension so shitty. It's guys like you who turn people away from posting in the forum...who wants to add to the conversation if they have to first read some chumps 2 bit analysis that totally highjacks the topic. You stop trying to 从鸡蛋挑骨头. I didn't make fun of your girlfriend because I think I "can have her", no actually anyone can, you just pick up one of those cards outside your door that say 24小时上门服务。
As for anyone else dropping their two cents, you are welcome to let me have it...just make sure you read everything I write first. If I'm chauvinistic then let a woman decide that for herself. I'd actually appreciate it if some ladies would like to share their thoughts
Taidje, it's hard to ask for constructive advice here on WLIB, isnt it? I hate it whenever people turn a discussion into a smelly battlefield.
i agree with most indicators you put up there to differentiate the two types. though, there are definitely not strict dichotomy I am sure u know that too.
as for the language thing, aaaaah, hahahaha...my friend is moving to beijing, and first thing he told me is: u gotta speak chinese with us from now on. we'll see how that goes. i think it depends on the guy's chinese ability. if he's not up to the level to pick up the humor, then i'd get bored and switch back to english. if he does, i have no problem with that. but i have to say, if having a conversation becomes like work, i'd suggest a private tutor really. it's really upsetting to talk to a guy that doesnt get it, whether in english or chinese. i think i only have spoken chinese to two guys without feeling uncomfortable. both of them speak very good chinese.
honestly, if you cant reach that level, i wouldnt suggest you to speak chinese ALL THE TIME with your gf. it's just unfair to her. maybe a mix would be good, for both of you.
I see your dilemma, Taidje. it's kind of like my dilemma with chinese/foreign guys. but i gotta tell you one thing, all the girls are looking for a sense of security in a relationship, if she's really into you, no matter traditional or westernized.
for the hair thing, and things to wear..they can all change and easy to change too. so that shouldnt be a problem for ya. but a good conversation? if she doesnt understand foreign culture and you dont know much of chinese culture..oh boy, that's gonna be tough.
actually, real traditional chinese girls dont even date laowai..not at all
so i guess whoever you meet are either westernized , or are interested in foreign culture.
It may be a possiblity that my Chinese level isn't as high as a westernized Chinese girls, I admit my Chinese is far from perfect. But if given the chance, I am very good and can communicate at a high level on various topics. I just think when you start a relationship of any kind, you tend to develop a status quo, especially with languages, and early in a relationship, that status quo should be set. Otherwise, it will be too easy to revert to English.
Anyways, I'm going to close this thread, thanks for understanding and sharing your ideas, I've already decided what must be done.
hey, Lao Lee
thanks for your compliment!
i guess then we need a definition of traditonal chinese girls. somehow, in my definition, tradtional overlapps with close-minded. i said overlappes. they tend to hold on to the tradition values in China especially when foreign culture comes in the presence in their life.
it's kinda like this orthodox jewish community i live in. those ppl wear that little hats, married women shave their head and wear a wig. they confine themselves to all the tradtional customs,and they do not open up to other cultures. they are very isolated from the rest of their city. thats traditional. ok, i admit that's one extreme. but you see what i mean. if a "traditional" chinese girl adapts to the western culture, i wonder if she can still be called traditional.
one last thing, Taidje, i think if you meet the right girl, language and all may not seem to be that much an important issue. it'd all just work out. good luck:)

The vehicle in your driveway is head and shoulders above the rest compared to all the other cars, trucks, and SUVs in today's marketplace. Honda automobile enthusiasts have grown accustomed to a certain level of fuel efficiency when driving their Accord around town. It's not a regular occurrence that you realize that you have to buy a replacement Air Filter & Cleaner for your automobile. You bought your Accord because its best-in-class value and driver satisfaction appealed to your senses; so why would you be okay with second best when it comes to the highest quality auto parts?
The fuel in our engine would not be combustible without mixing with air first. Your Honda Accord uses a paper or cloth air filter to remove dust and debris from the air stream before it enters the intake manifold, mixes with your fuel, and gets detonated. Without an air filter or air cleaner in your engine, your fuel would be filled with particulates from outside. This will clog fuel injectors and lower the octane in your fuel; making it difficult for your engine to generate power. And unless your Honda Accord air filter is replaced regularly your engine will be robbed of the necessary air flow needed to maintain optimum fuel efficiency. Clearly, replacement air filters are a necessity for everyone.
Given all the trouble that can be involved with performing maintenance on your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the first place you go to make buying it easy. At Car Parts Discount, we have live customer service members on the phone with enough expertise to help you purchase the appropriate Honda Accord part for your needs. Don't let a broken Air Filter & Cleaner spell the end of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't gamble with its condition by using anything but the highest quality replacement parts. Honda Accord Air Filter & Cleaner parts for 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 2000, 1999, 1998, 1997, 1996, 1995, 1994, 1993, 1992, 1991, 1990, 1989, 1988, 1987, 1986, 1985, 1983, 1982, 1981, 1980, 1979, 1978, 1977, 1976 vehicles are available here... just click your year to find them.

text: I was looking at the models made by PTR Industries. The "GI" model appeals to me. (Once I can find one ) http://ptr91.com/products/PTR%20G.I.?id=23 Reasons I have read not to have one or dislikes people expressed: 1. They beat up brass pretty good. 2. The charging handle location. 3. Recoils a bit more than an FAL. 4. Some complained that it was not a 1 inch group rifle. I don't think it was intended to be. 5. There was some stink about the flutes in the barrel on other models causing it to be ammo picky, but allegedly the "GI" model has the same number and flute specs as HK designed. It's just for fun. But, is there any glaring reason why this would be a bad purchase? I know that the FAL would be a very popular alternative and I was interested in one, but I started looking at these and they piqued my interest. Thanks HK

As mentioned here, the version 1.2.1 stable source does not build correctly if ClamAV is installed. Bro 1.2.1 is using the cl_scannbuf function which is not exported in newer versions of ClamAV.
To work around this I edited the configure.in file so it checks for the cl_scanbuff function and does not configure ClamAV support if it is not exported by ClamAV.
In the Bro configure.in I edited the ClamAV checks to read:
# Libclamav
Then re-generated the configure file.
One possible "real fix" would be to re-write the FileAnalyzer functions to create temporary files and use cl_scanfile to scan the temporary file.

Jay-Z was the official headliner at the 3rd Annual Global Citizen Festival held in New York's Central Park where his wife Beyoncé — and her flesh colored bra — surprised the audience with a high-energy performance of "Holy Grail" and "Forever Young".
Yoncé opened with her hypnotic vocals and if you know the super talented couple, it escalated rather quickly from there. She was so amped during Jay's verses, she started to burst out of her shirt! Never one to let a slight wardrobe malfunction — or anything else — ruin a performance, Mrs. Carter err.. pulled it together and THEY. ROCKED. THE. EFF. OUT.
Donning a lace white blouse with high-waisted button front trousers from Dolce & Gabbana and Ivy Kirzhner platform pumps, Queen Bey gave attendees deja vu — see what I did there? — reminiscent of her "B-Day" era. The only thing missing was the alligators!
The festival, whose goal is to bring awareness to and eradicate extreme poverty by 2030, also featured performances from No Doubt, Alicia Keys, Carrie Underwood, fun., Sting, and The Roots.

Flying 'Up in the Air' with Anna Kendrick & American Airlines
by Alex Billington
December 4, 2009
Starting today, Jason Reitman's Up in the Air is now playing in limited theaters. It'll expand nationwide on Christmas Day, so if you haven't seen it yet, be sure to see it then. A few weeks back, Paramount invited me on a special flight hosted by American Airlines in promotion of the film. Not only was it a private flight with American, but we would see the film on the plane (my third time seeing it), interview Anna Kendrick, and get a live performance from Sad Brad, who's song "Help Yourself" can be heard in the second half of the film. It was one of the best flying experiences I've ever had and one of the coolest trips I've ever been on!
The flight was from New York (JFK) to Los Angeles and was a good six hours from start to finish (which gave us just about enough time to get everything done). I was joined by a handful of other journalists, most of whom worked for local TV stations around the US, however there were a few other bloggers like Jeremy Horn, aka The Product Guy, and Greg Ellwood from HitFix. It kicked off with a screening of Up in the Air on the plane, which was cool but I'm glad I had already seen it. I can barely stand watching movies on those little airplane TVs, especially if they look as great as Up in the Air does (compliments to Eric Steelberg).
Following that screening, I was invited to chat with the beautiful and very talented Anna Kendrick up in the first class seats for about 5 minutes. I've been a fan of Anna ever since I saw Rocket Science at Sundance years ago. And she's one of the best parts of Up in the Air so I was considerably excited to talk to her. Plus, it was just awesome to do an interview on a plane while we were flying. Here's my short interview with her:
Half-way through, the audio gets scratchy and then the video jumps. That was because the battery died on the camera and we had to pick it up again after it was replaced. Apologies for that. I tried to cover topics that you don't normally hear actors get asked in interviews, especially because she's got so much to talk about!
If you follow me on Twitter (@firstshowing) you probably already saw me talking about the flight or saw photos from it (on Twitpic). We had in-flight wifi internet (which American offers), which meant I could update everyone live as it was happening on the plane (how cool is that?). Additionally, the American guys were tweeting about it as well, and you can find a recap of the event by searching for the hash tag #UITA. It was pretty crazy being able to walk around the plane and chat with journalists, American Airline reps, Anna, and others. Even though I fly quite a bit, this was still one of the best flights I've been on, that's for sure!
Lastly, before we were served an airline dinner, Chicago-based musician Sad Brad Smith performed three songs right on the plane for us (see the photo below). The first one was "Help Yourself", which is one of my favorite songs from the film anyway, and the others were his own songs. I don't know about everyone else, but usually you only see people performing "concerts" on a plane in the movies. This time I was actually on the plane and it was for a movie. Even though the sound quality wasn't top notch, it was still pretty damn cool seeing him play songs for us right there in the aisle. He's an awesome musician, too, check him out.
This was easily one of the coolest promos I've been a part of and I've really got to hand it to Paramount and American Airlines for doing such a great job coordinating this whole thing. This couldn't have been a more perfect idea. I had even asked to interview Jason Reitman on a plane a few days earlier (he was in St. Louis and couldn't make it on this flight) so it was actually something I had wanted to do already. They just took my idea, spruced it up with some extra amenities, and took us all for the ride of our lives. This is the kind of treatment a film like Up in the Air deserves. Be sure to see it sometime this month, you will love it!
