The Lancers' 17-game slate, which was released today, features a trio of non-conference games as well as a robust 14-game Pacific West Conference slate for the Lancers to defend their conference title against.
"We are very excited to announce our 2012 fall schedule," said St. Clair, the program's all-time leader with 79 career victories in just four seasons at the helm. "It is once again loaded with some of the best NCAA teams in the West Region."
The non-conference portions features a season-opening home game with Cal State Dominguez Hills (Sept. 1), followed by road games at Cal State San Bernardino (Sept. 4) and at NCAA Division III Claremont-Mudd-Scripps (Sept. 8).
All three of those teams had non-losing records in 2011.
The Lancers' PacWest title defense begins Sept. 13 at Fresno Pacific in the first of three straight road games against new conference members Holy Names (Sept. 15) and longtime NAIA power Azusa Pacific (Sept. 20).
The first PacWest home game is also against former NAIA power turned PacWest rival Point Loma (Oct. 2), which is the first of five straight PacWest home games in a span of 10 days.
After a two-game swing through the Bay Area at Notre Dame de Namur (Oct. 18) and Dominican (Oct. 20), the Lancers return home to host Dixie State (Oct. 25) and Grand Canyon (Oct. 27).
The regular season concludes at Point Loma (Oct. 30) and at Grand Canyon (Nov. 3).
The NCCAA National Championships are Nov. 28-Dec. 1 in Kissimmee, Fla., with qualifying regional games at a day and time to be determined later in the year.
"As always our goal is to compete every year for conference and national championships, and I firmly believe with our strength of schedule and daily focus on our execution and performance, we'll put ourselves in a position to be successful," St. Clair.
CBU returns 16 players from last year's team that finished an all-time program-best 18-2-1 and also won the National Christian College Athletic Association (NCCAA) National Championship in addition to the PacWest title.

Quote:No, I disagree Pete. The Airy pattern DOES change with image brightness (if dimmed by an obstruction.) This explains why Raleigh did not notice it in an unobstructed scope, probably confusing him to no end if it did. It also validates the MTF, to many folks chagrin.Droller was correct in this sense, Brian's images should have shown this effect. It actually does appear to shrink the diffraction pattern (even though the true first min remains constant and determined by aperture and wavelength only.) The mystery of the "shrinking diffraction pattern" is solved. For me, raising the issue once again solves the mystery. The first ring DOES shrink toward the Airy disc - visually. Edit to above: Brian's images would have shown this effect if he compared images between obstructed and unobstructed scopes on the exact same scale. All of Brian's images should have included this affect, and measured to the same size, since his scope is obstructed.So, the question is, did the author of the link in Pete's post misspeak claiming magnitude plays a role? Or did he mean dimming caused by diffraction, "It does not keep the same diameter regardless of the star magnitude, which would produce in very faint stars a visibly enlarged first gap around a much reduced Airy disc?" When folks say Airy disc, they should mean "the" Airy disc.
Quote:Nevertheless, I will try. Who knows, the combination of Florida Keys seeing and the pretty much perfect optics of my scope I might get a positive result.... Dave

New Rivers
7 Steeple Street
Edited to add website: http://www.newrivers....com/index.html
Unfortunately, on one of my rare visits to RI a couple years ago, a meal at New Rivers was a massive disappointment. My expectations were very high (not unreasonable given the accolades this place gets) and they were pretty much dashed. Mrs. Bob got a steak that was riddled with fat, and I got a fish dish from the "Lighter Side" section of the menu that might have qualified for the "lighter side" of the menu at a place in downtown Addis Ababa. Three bites if that.
We both left starving. Thank god for my favorite weiner joint -- NY System up on Smith St just past the State House.
This was one of the rare cases in which my usual thorough research utterly failed -- and in my home town at that.

A new dissident IRA group has expelled scores of members in a crackdown on informers.
The Sunday Times reports that the umbrella group for Republican terrorists is taking stern action.
The paper's crime correspondent John Mooney claims that the new IRA group has stood down certain active-service units as part of a purge against suspected informers.
He says that command of the organisation has been transferred to republican hard-liners based in Northern Ireland ahead of a new reign of terror.
The new grouping has brought together the Real IRA, Republican Action Against Drugs, and former members of the Provisional IRA.
The report says that more than 100 key members have been expelled in recent weeks in a purge against those it suspects of secretly working as informers.
Dissidents involved in organised crime and those who were involved in failed terrorist organisations have been dismissed.
The paper also says that former associates of dissident leader Alan Ryan, who was shot dead close to his home in Dublin in September, have also been stood down.
The paper says that the new terrorist group has banned members from using mobile phones or discussing IRA business while indoors or travelling in cars.
One source told the Sunday Times: "They have learnt from their mistakes made in allowing telephone calls to be intercepted or cars to be bugged.
"They are communicating without speaking over a phone. They are using every conceivable method to make contact without speaking directly to one another."
The paper also says that the group now represents the biggest threat to police, prison officers and soldiers based in Northern Ireland.
They believe this new IRA was responsible for the murder of prison officer David Black in Antrim earlier this month.
The source added: "Black's murder has been a morale booster for terrorists. They managed to target a prison officer without being detected, they managed to follow him home, shoot him dead as he drove to work and get away with it. They are feeling confident."
Terry Spence, chairman of the Police Federation of Northern Ireland, told the paper that the British and Irish governments urgently need to take decisive action to thwart the group.
He said: "This new IRA group has consolidated its position. They have access to explosives and very sophisticated weapons. It is quite obvious that the degree of decommissioning of IRA weapons was never 100%, and the evidence that there is still Semtex available in some quantity is extremely disconcerting."
very interesting that Duffy hasn't been kicked out yet, 'the best placed asset we have had in years' as one PSNI officer put it. These criminals have no mandate, they still represent drug dealing, prostitution and racketeering from the very community they are supposed to represent. Who has ever heard of an Army with no tanks, no helicopters, long range bombers etc, ffs give it up lads you are a joke.
Those who say 'informers' should be executed need to remember that Capital punishment is banned across the European Union…and extra-judicial capital punishment is banned in all civilised countries…let's keep it that way, and keep the barbarians as far away from Ireland as possible.
Could anyone tell us what AloisMartin is always rabbiting on about? Would Alois tell us himself (in plain English please). As for the "REAL IRA" with their recent "Benefit" in the Submarine Bar in Dublin with their gangster molls, flashy jewellery and cars, loud republican songs and endless drinking and boasting, well the sooner they are got rid of the better. They are a security threat to the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland.
Informers should be executed as with snitch`s should end up in ditch`s.
"A new dissident IRA group has expelled scores of members in a crackdown on informers." The two that were left went on home.
Aha, "Night of the long knives," rebublican remnant style. Hopefully the expelled will get some remedial republican re-education and return to being good little freedom fighters like they are.
The RUC/PSNI have every incentive to fabricate and hype this as much as possible so they are given more resources and free reign to abuse the indigenous population. The supremacist community and the tools of their oppression, the RUC/PSNI in particular, remain the primary obstacle to peace as they have always been.
Patriot, Ideologist, Revolutionary, Republican; Or Bourgeois Proletarian Punk ? Come`n Boy`s, its time to, Lay It On The Line !
Philo. From acorns grow ? You speak with the same tongue unionists used against the provos.
As long as the Irish are intoxicated by catholicism, there will always be those opposed to violence, yet we all know that it is the only means of achieving anything. Hiroshima proved that and to quote Yeats, " Peace comes dropping slow ".
Is it really necessary to give this splinter group any publicity at all. Good or bad, it is what they crave. Does Patrick Counihan even understand what a splinter is?

We are showing you the Canadian version of our site: would you prefer a different location?
You don't know what you've got…
About forty-five minutes into my cyclocross race this past Sunday I looked down at my legs in pain and yearned for a feeling that I had just four short weeks ago. You see, a month ago when I stepped off my BMC in the middle of Ascoli Piceno on that last day of the Rapha Randonnée Appenninni I felt as invincible as I ever have on the bike. Legs swollen by six consecutive days of 6-7 big climbing hours in the saddle, I had transcended from weekend warrior to a hardened grimpeur.
But last Sunday, with distance, the days and the realities of work and family, my "good legs" were just a fond memory.
Since coming back I've kept in touch with some of the other riders and the guides from La Fuga. We're all back into the swing of our lives, and we are all already trying to figure out when we can get away next for a "camp" like that again.
I have spoken with some of the Randonné alumnus from the other trips and it seems that our Italian experience was true for the French tours as well. I was curious if that those trips were as hard and as rewarding as what I had felt of Italy, and if they would consider doing another Randonnée? To which I heard back:
"As I told Claire atop Alpe d'Huez (after the Madeleine and Glandon) 'That day was gift.' I was in tears, I had a Cavendish moment."
"Because of how delightfully wrecked I was at the end of each day. I dug deep and kept up for the most part- but wow was I was in tatters."
"To cycle is to suffer. Maybe I'll be faster next time."

I went on the 6 day trip through the French Alps thinking it would be a great chance to check off some incredible mountain passes – one more impressive the next. But by the second day, I could no longer worry about the remaining cols of the day or the next day's ride - the terrain was challenging enough that I had to stay focused on the moment - and that, in fact, turned out to be the reward - and, I think, the beauty of a randonnée. The water's edge in Nice would reveal itself in time.
I made this video for the guides and the riders as a way of saying thanks – I think it captures the essence of our week together: http://www.vimeo.com/15628110

We stayed in The Studio in early September and it was just lovely. The grounds are so peaceful and well-groomed and the lodging was comfy and private. It was particularly nice to have one's own washer & dryer while on vacation! I found the upstairs bedroom difficult to negotiate because of the wrought iron spiral staircase and I was not so comfortable in the upstairs bed, so I slept on the futon in the living room. Plenty of bedding for all options and possibilities and plenty of nice pillows, too. It's really good when places have extra pillows to choose from!
The property managers are responsive and professional. I had trouble with the front step because of my bad knee and they came and put in a ramp for me! That also made it easier to get things into and out of the house since we were hosting a wedding on the property as well. And, oh my....how wonderful they were with all of the little details pertaining to the wedding!!! They were pronto with golf-carts...

The Flint school district has agreed to pay $600,000 to a teacher who said she was coerced into a sexual relationship with a principal.
The teacher's lawyer, Glen Lenhoff, says the district accepted the recommendation of a mediation panel Thursday and won't take the case to trial in Genesee County.
Kelly Caudell was a teacher at Flint Northwestern High School when she had a sexual relationship with principal Fred White. Lenhoff says his client felt coerced because she was new to the school in 2008 and White was her boss.
Caudell says White continued to pursue her even after she became married. The principal denied any harassment and claimed the relationship was voluntary.
The Flint school district says it's pleased the case is resolved. White retired in 2011.

Frequently Asked Questions for Clinicians: Multistate Outbreak of Fungal Meningitis and Other Infections
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) with state and local health departments and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are investigating a multistate outbreak of fungal infections among patients who received contaminated preservative-free methylprednisolone acetate (MPA) steroid injections from New England Compounding Center (NECC). The infections identified as part of this investigation include fungal meningitis, a form of meningitis that is not contagious, localized spinal or paraspinal infections, and infections associated with injections in a peripheral joint space, such as a knee, shoulder, or ankle.
In the early stages of the outbreak, the majority of patients presented with meningitis. Currently, more than three months after the implicated steroid medication was recalled, the majority of infections being reported to CDC are patients with localized spinal or paraspinal infections (e.g., epidural abscess). CDC has issued guidance for clinicians about this development.
What Should Physicians Be Doing?
- Find out if you have administered one of the three recalled lots of methylprednisolone acetate (MPA) produced by the New England Compounding Center and associated with the multi-state outbreak. These lots are:
- Methylprednisolone Acetate (PF) 80 mg/ml Injection, Lot #05212012@68, BUD 11/17/2012
- Methylprednisolone Acetate (PF) 80 mg/ml Injection, Lot #06292012@26, BUD 12/26/2012
- Methylprednisolone Acetate (PF) 80 mg/ml Injection, Lot #08102012@51, BUD 2/6/2013
- Immediately contact patients who have been exposed to determine if they are having any symptoms.
- Evaluate patients with new, ongoing, or persistent baseline symptoms.
- Report concerning cases to public health.
- Clinicians should report suspected cases to their state health department.
- Clinicians are also requested to report any suspected adverse events following use of these products to FDA's MedWatch program at 1-800-332-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch.
- Use appropriate treatment for fungal meningitis, parameningeal infections, and joint infections.
Localized Spinal or Paraspinal Infection
There have been reports of localized spinal or paraspinal infections such as epidural abscesses and arachnoiditis among patients in this outbreak. What are these conditions and their symptoms?
Currently, the majority of cases being reported to CDC are localized spinal or paraspinal infections, including epidural abscess, phlegmon, arachnoiditis, discitis, or vertebral osteomyelitis, which were identified through Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) with contrast. Some of these cases have occurred in patients with persistent but baseline symptoms.
A spinal epidural abscess is characterized by inflammation and a collection of pus around the spine. Spinal epidural abscesses sometimes result in swelling in the affected area (e.g., near the site where contaminated steroid mediation was injected).
- Common symptoms can include fever, headache, back pain, and neurological problems (e.g., weakness, unusual changes in sensation)
Arachnoiditis is a disorder caused by the inflammation of the arachnoid, one of the membranes that surrounds and protects the nerves of the spinal cord. The condition can be caused by irritation from chemicals, infection, or direct injury to the spine.
- Symptoms can include numbness, tingling, and a characteristic stinging and burning pain in the lower back or legs. Some people with arachnoiditis may have debilitating muscle cramps, twitches, or spasms. The condition may also affect the bladder, bowel, and sexual function. In severe cases, arachnoiditis may cause paralysis of the lower limbs.
- For more information about arachnoiditis, see the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke's website.
For more information on treatment guidance for these conditions, please see Interim Treatment Guidance for Central Nervous System and Parameningeal Infections Associated with Injection of Contaminated Steroid Products.
Who should be evaluated for a localized spinal or paraspinal infection?
Preliminary data suggest that among patients who had a spinal or paraspinal injection of contaminated MPA and had no previous evidence of infection, but had new or worsening symptoms at or near the site of their injection, more than 50% had findings suggestive of a localized spinal or paraspinal infection. Clinicians should consider re-evaluating patients for signs and symptoms suggestive of infection, including continued, worsening, or new symptoms at or near the site of their injection.
- When deciding whether to obtain an MRI, clinicians should take into account the preliminary data presented above and obtain a careful history of the patient's past and current symptoms.
- In general, clinicians should obtain an MRI with contrast of the symptomatic area(s) in patients who received a spinal or paraspinal injection with implicated MPA and have new or worsening symptoms at or near the site of their injection.
- Clinicians should consider obtaining an MRI with contrast of the symptomatic area(s) in patients with persistent but baseline symptoms because the presentation of these spinal or paraspinal infections can be subtle and difficult to distinguish from a patient's baseline chronic pain.
- Clinicians should also consider reviewing MRI results with a neuroradiologist because of potential difficulties in interpreting imaging results for these patients.
For more information on diagnostic guidance for these conditions, please see...
Fungal Meningitis
For patients with fungal meningitis, what are the risks of more severe outcomes, such as stroke or death?
The estimated risk of stroke or death is likely to be no greater than 0.08% by 42 days after the patient's last injection. The majority of these patients will have risks of stroke or death that are much lower than the estimates noted here, and their risk will continue to decrease as more time elapses since their last injection.
What are the side effects of being tested on a regular basis for fungal meningitis (lumbar puncture)?
The side effects of lumbar puncture include post-lumbar headache, bleeding, and the theoretical risk that fungi could be transferred from the epidural space into the subarachnoid space of a patient who has received epidural or paraspinal injections with contaminated steroid products. Increasing the number of lumbar punctures will increase the risk of side effects.
Treatment Questions
How should asymptomatic patients who received injections with contaminated steroid medication be managed?
CDC does not recommend initiating antifungal treatment in the absence of diagnostic test results indicating meningitis, spinal/paraspinal infection, or peripheral joint infection in exposed, asymptomatic patients. However, clinicians should continue to remain vigilant for evidence of fungal infection in exposed patients (e.g., continued, worsening or new symptoms at or near the site of their injection) and use an assertive approach for clinical management and follow-up of these patients.
Should patients presenting with arachnoiditis be treated even if this condition is not specifically mentioned in the CDC case definitions for this outbreak?
Yes. The case definition for this outbreak is a surveillance tool developed to assist identifying and reporting cases. The case definition is not intended to guide clinical decision-making and patient management. Patients who present with signs and symptoms of arachnoiditis should be clinically assessed on the basis of clinical judgment and managed accordingly. CDC will continue working with clinicians and public health officials to obtain more information about the occurrence of arachnoiditis in these patients and refine its clinical guidance as needed.
What are the side effects of antifungal therapy?
Antifungal treatment with voriconazole carries significant risk of hallucinations and other neurologic side effects, and liver damage. CDC recommends careful discussion of risks and benefits between physicians and their patients.
Can patients continue receiving treatment with steroid injections?
It is not clear if or how additional epidural, paraspinal, or intra-articular steroid injections may increase the risk of fungal infection or contribute to a recurrence of infection in patients who received injections with the contaminated product and who are currently asymptomatic. Steroids are immunosuppressive and it is possible they could increase risk in patients with sub-clinical infection; however, the duration of infection risk resulting from prior exposure to a contaminated steroid product is still unknown. Patients should discuss the need for additional injections with their providers.
Related Recalls
Are other medications from the New England Compounding Center (NECC) associated with infections?
CDC and FDA have identified bacteria and/or fungi in additional products from NECC. Although CDC has received reports of illness in patients who have received these other medications, including some patients who had evidence of meningeal inflammation, CDC and public health officials have no reports of laboratory-confirmed bacterial or fungal meningitis, spinal, or paraspinal infections caused by these products. The available epidemiological and laboratory data do not, at this time, support evidence of an outbreak of infections linked to usage of non-methylprednisolone acetate NECC products.
However, because it is possible that some of the organisms identified in these products can cause human disease, clinicians should continue to include bacterial and/or fungal infection in the differential diagnosis when evaluating symptomatic patients who were exposed to these medications, including consideration of empiric anti-bacterial and/or antifungal therapy.
For information on other recalled medication from NECC, see Information about Additional Medical Products (non-MPA) From New England Compounding Center FAQs.

OTTAWA — The Liberal Party appears headed for a repeat of the 2006 fiasco over unpaid leadership campaign loans, with three candidates in this year's race reporting large debts they have been unable to pay off.
Financial reports published by Elections Canada on Tuesday show Liberal MP and unsuccessful leadership contender Marc Garneau was left with $45,000 in unpaid loans and another $54,100 in unpaid bills owed to two consulting companies.
Two long-shot candidates also ran up big debts: Deborah Coyne's campaign still had $61,000 in unpaid loans outstanding and while Karen McCrimmon's campaign reported owing $47,000.
Garneau had borrowed $60,400 to run his campaign, including $10,000 from Kanata's Plasco Energy Group and $25,200 from a Zenon Domanczuk of Montreal. He also lent his own campaign $25,200. His return shows repayments of only $15,400.
They now face the onerous task of raising money to finance a campaign they have already lost — the same circumstance that befell six candidates in the 2006 leadership race, including eventual winner Stéphane Dion.
The story was an ongoing embarrassment for the Liberals under Dion and later, Michael Ignatieff, as they passed the hat at fundraisers while facing a restriction of a $1,100 limit on donations from each supporter.
Coyne, a lawyer, was able to fundraise only about $44,000 for her 2013 bid. The rest of the money to finance her campaign came from loans she made to herself in the amount of $75,000 at a 5 per cent interest rate.
The $75,000 entry fee required of the party was responsible for much of Coyne's debt, the return shows. She has repaid only $13,800, according to the report filed in May.
McCrimmon, a former Canadian Forces aviator, borrowed $67,000 — also from herself — but had returned just $20,000, according to her report.
All candidates were required to file financial reports six months after the leadership vote.
Returns for four other 2013 leadership contenders have not yet been posted publicly and may also show unpaid loans. Nine candidates launched campaigns but three withdrew before the final vote in April.
The 2006 leadership race left Liberal MP Hedy Fry and former MPs Joe Volpe and Ken Dryden with steep debts that they couldn't pay down even seven years after the leadership race ended. Although the Liberals were found in breach of election finance rules, the Commissioner of Canada Elections Yves Côté admitted this summer that there wasn't any action he could take against them under the current legislation.
Chief Electoral Officer Marc Mayrand has said the provisions respecting unpaid loans and other claims are unworkable and a reform of the Canada Elections Act is urgently required.
Coyne finished fifth in a field of six candidates, capturing less than one per cent of the votes. Garneau withdrew before the final vote. McCrimmon was dead last.
Even though they all owe the money to themselves, the loans cannot be forgiven because they would then be deemed donations, and would be far in excess of the $2,200 candidates may contribute to their own campaigns.
Garneau's campaign reported unpaid bills incurred with A and C Strategies Inc., and Dawson Ferguson Communications Inc. — a company run by former Liberal advisor and journalist Derek Ferguson and his wife Anne Dawson, also a former journalist.
Compared to his challengers, Justin Trudeau's winning campaign was a juggernaut, raising more than $2 million in donations while spending $1.4 million, without incurring any loans.
Liberal MP Joyce Murray borrowed $50,200 to fund her campaign but repayed all the money, her return showed.
Coyne, Garneau and any others with unpaid loans will have until October 2014 to pay off the loans. If they fail, they can apply to Mayrand for an extension and, later, to a court for more time.
Neither Coyne, Garneau nor McCrimmon could not be reached for comment Tuesday.
With large amounts outstanding, the Liberals could face pressure to leverage leader Trudeau's celebrity to help pay down the campaign debts, perhaps by holding fundraising parties for the leadership challengers he vanquished.
"We are expecting the campaigns to retire their debt in the coming months," Liberal Party spokesperson Andrée-Lyne Hallé said in an email.
"They can do so in different ways, e.g. through fundraising events."

Remove some debugging code.
Port the qt client to the new sench touch ui.The work is not entirely complete yet. Scanning the directory for odt files is still missing.
Add zoom in and out.This was very hard to achieve because the webkit transform does not affect the percieved element width and height (at the moment). So a buffer <div/> was needed.
Add a ui based on sencha touch 2.0.
Merge branch 'master' into senchaTouchDesktop
Add skeleton for playbook version.
Update android version to phonegap 1.4.0.The files phonegap-1.4.0.js are different for iOS and android.

Firefox extensions are submitted to static code analysis. In this analysis, some features are flagged and some are fixed by this commit: - eval() is not allowed. it is replaced by evil(). Only dead code refers to it....
Fix some warnings.
Use JavaScript to zip the xpi file.
Not all parts of this solution were committed previously.
Use node and javascript for zipping the Firefox extension.Using cmake to do zipping was too hard. Luckily, ODF is also often a zip file and hence the zip code from webodf can be used to zip the xpi file.
Add WebODF Firefox extension.
Open files relative to the html or js file.
Add more dependencies to fix bugs in parallel make callsmake -j4 should work without error now.

Adjusted the Android version to use webodf.js
Adapt nativeQtClient to use webodf.js.
Remove website from the repository.
Add licenses and copyright statements to all javascript files.

Previously, byte arrays were implemented as string with values from 0 to 255 inclusive. Some runtimes such as Node and modern browsers have native array implementations. These should be faster.
This commit changes changes WebODF to use the native arrays. Since byte arrays differ across runtimes, they are now abstracted by the Runtime.
Check if a file really exists and is readable and report an error otherwise.
Specify png and pdf export via arguments in qtjsruntime.
Workaround for the fact that QWebView does not preserve the url fragment.
Retain query and fragment when loading a local file via relative URL.
Remove conversion to html.
Fix runtime.js so that it can be used in qtjsruntime.
Partially add building of Android application to CMake system. This is not straightforward and not finished yet.
Convert QMake projects to CMake.
Reorganize programs.

The Gathering festival has landed Ireland in the top 25 places to visit on a prestigious list compiled by renowned travel guide Fodors.
The Irish Examiner reports that the latest Fodor's Guide urges readers to visit Ireland in 2013.
Now in its third year, the well regarded list features rising destinations, hot cities and significant events.
The Gathering homecoming festival has catapulted Ireland onto the list along with England, Marseilles in France and far flung destinations like Easter Island and Burma.
The report says that Fodor's Travel specifically highlights The Gathering as a reason for travellers to come to Ireland next year.
It says: "Throughout 2013, Ireland will host events, festivals, and reunions in honour of the more than 70 million people worldwide who claim Irish heritage.
"The Gathering welcomes those with Irish roots back to their ancestral homeland to reconnect with the country's lush landscapes and vibrant cultures.
"Visitors can track their genealogies, explore the villages of their forebears, and mingle with current residents. More than just a celebration for those with Irish blood, The Gathering offers music festivals, pub crawls, and public gatherings in all corners of the country for those who are Irish in spirit as well."
Tourism Ireland boss Niall Gibbons believes the accolade will boost numbers attending The Gathering.
Gibbons said: "The Gathering will fully capitalise on the opportunity to promote Ireland across the world.
"This accolade couldn't have come at a better time as we get ready to kick off our year-long celebration of all things Irish, with The Gathering Ireland 2013.
"The high-profile listing in Fodor's Travel 'Go List' of the top 25 places to visit in 2013 provides Tourism Ireland with yet another opportunity to promote Ireland as a 'must see' destination in our promotional activities across the world.
"We intend to fully capitalise on the opportunities this accolade presents throughout 2013 and beyond."
By the way all the festivals are free events, you will have no extra expense. Most of Dublin museums and galleries are free.
@oonafitz, go you will have a great time, Ireland is not as expensive today as it was 5 years ago, so many great deals. I went 3 weeks ago, i only live in London a 50 minute flight. I love it in Dublin a great city then i travel onto the south and west of the country. Ireland is one of the best value for money destinations in Europe today. 5 years back it was in the top 5 most expensive. Hey not everyone is Irish in Ireland, but you will still meet many in the cities and towns. It is still one of my favourite countries to visit.
The thought of hords of Americans filling the country is enough to make me stay home. I'm not sure that the events are enough to make people go. One of the complaints I hear most often on here is that it's too expensive. If people have wanted to go, which most people of the Diaspora do, and can't afford it, nothing will have changed with the addition of multiple "festivals". By the way, I don't agree with the expense. I just flew over on Aer Lingus and didn't pay much more than I paid on my first trip in 1980. And I would gladly pay a bit more to fly Aer Lingus. Great flight, great service, no extra fees for anything you might want. From what I hear, I would have to find a new airline if/when Ryanair takes over. I know if you have a family it would add up, but so does travelling anywhere. People today want to pay rock bottom prices and then complain when they get rock bottom service. Another complaint I hear here is that people don't meet any Irish. For the first time, I stayed in mid to high level hotels instead of B&Bs, and except for management, everyone we dealt with was foreign. I hear that it's that way also in many B&Bs. That's not what people will be expecting. One thing that bothered me during this trip, my first in many years, is the growing commercialization of places that shouldn't be commercialized. Places like the Cliffs of Moher and Giant's Causeway. Very disappointing. I had been thinking of going back in the spring, but will hold off in planning until I see how many people are actually going to take part in this.

Bacterial Vaginosis--or--embarrassing bad smell |

Good Morning All!
I have been an avid reader of this thread for months now and have finally decided to join. First of all I would like to thank everybody for their advise and knowledge on the subject, I too have tried many of the suggestions listed throughout this thread (boric, acidophollis, peroxide, folic acid, vitamin c, tea tree oil etc.) and have found myself just as frustrated as you ladies. A little history...I'll try to make it short and sweet. About a year and a half ago I finally found Mr. Right, Handsome, Nice, Smart, Employed, GREAT in bed etc. and we've been together ever since. About three months in to our relationship I noticed the most strong foul fish smell I have ever smelled after we had sex....I had no idea what it was and spent the day looking up the smelly symptom before I went to the clinic for treatment. They did a test to confirm that it was in fact BV and issued Flagyl as a cure and sent me on my way. LITTLE DID I KNOW THAT THE ANTIBIOTICS ONLY TOOK IT AWAY UNTIL IT WAS TRIGGERED AGAIN!!!!!!!!!! After several rounds of antibiotics, cutting my boyfriend off of sex because I did not feel comfortable explaining this problem to him until a month or so ago and trying just about everything mentioned on this board, I have come to a slight hypothesis of what is triggering this problem. At the beginning of my current relationship I started taking the pill again and after several different kinds with much spotting, mood swings, etc. I gave up and decided that condoms where the only way to go for me. Due to the issues I had with the pill this time around, I think that somehow my hormones got out of wack or maybe whatever regulates my ph no longer works....only right after my period will I have sex without a condom and when my bf does the deed inside of me within a day or two my stuff smells like a fish farm, most noticable during/after sex. I finally got the nerve to discuss this reaccuring problem with the bf and explain that our dramatic drop in our daily sex life we indulged in before the BV was due to the BV and explained the whole PH problem with his semen contributing to the unbalancing of my screwed up PH etc. etc. I had my yearly violation appointment with my doctor and discussed the BV with her and she didn't seem to concerned at all and said it's just one of those things. WHAT THE FUCK!!!!! (excuse my language) but how many women actually have this issue and go to the doctor for her to tell me to deal with it? I requested a prescription for flagyl once again because I had just read that JEWELS was having much luck with the vaginal insertion and I figured what the hell....I've tried everything else. VERDICT - I got my precious prescription for 500mg Flagyl (capsules not the generic kind) filled, paid my 0.35 cents to the pharmacy and stuck one of those puppies in as far as it would go that night and again in the morning and after waiting 2 days as suggested by Jewels I had sex.....normal non smelly no hangups sex and it was FABULOUS. I continued with my much more frequent sex throughout the month with a condom and enjoyed every minute of it. Right after my next period Mr. Right did the deed without a condom and all the fish broke loose the very next day! So I inserted another flagyl and the nasty little fishies have left me again after 2 days....tonight will be the real test when me and the BF have sex. So much for short and sweet....I'll stop now although I have much more to express since I've finally joined the group after much procrastination. Thank you again ladies for all of your knowledge and help. |

Good morning everyone.
I'm not starting the Flora until I get those toxins out of my body. I was wondering if anyone has read about what times it is better to have sex when you have BV. I read that your urine ph is around 5 maybe below in the morning (I don't have the information with me right now for the listed estimated ranges), and the urine ph raises later in the day. I was just wondering what other body fluids did this, such as our blood, vaginal secretions, sweat, so forth... if we are more acidic with our urine in the mornings...maybe our vaginas are more acidic as well at that time and it is a better time to have intercourse... I did buy some ph strips, but they weren't what I was wanting, (not sure now what we common citizens can buy when testing like that. I do know that in my ANP 2 lab class, the ph strips we used there measured many more things than than ones that I ended up with. I have sinus problems....so it's hard for me to detect early smelly cat signs when I can't smell very well anyway. So, I'm hoping I can find something that can do that for me. At least warn me that PH is off. Again, just my thoughts, no need to reply unless you would like. I will research this just because I'm curious anyway. |

Jewels...a few questions, and I'm sorry if you've answered these before. How long did you wait from the flagyl before having sex? I really don't want a yeast infection. And you only use one pill? How long before trying another one if the first pill doesn't work? Finally, where did you order yours? I don't really want to call my gyno. Thanks! I'm glad you are doing so well. I hope this helps. I've kept using the boric, which keeps things smelling nice, but I have to use it all the time. I would like something that lasts longer so I hope this does it. I would also like to try the estoroil but I know a couple of girls on here tried it and it didn't help at all. I'm hesitant about spending more money right now.

So happy to hear you are getting SOME relief Morphia!! I hope for you during the next few days, you feel even more better!! Thank you ARJ75 for the information. I'm going to check that out here where I live.
I also noticed in my grocery store here, they have a section called "Health Food", and it's all refrigerated. They also carry like acidopilus and probotics in there, so, I will check and see if they have the Flora stuff!! Morphia, I've had so many different smells from Fish, to Shit, to down right funk, to mildew, to sour...and the list goes on. BUT PIZZA!!! Girl, I needed that!! Thanks for making me laugh!! I have such a hard time explaining the smell, so I can appreciate your comments!! I too smoke...and I agree with what's been said before, smoking plays a huge roll. Not sure if things will change if and when I decide to quit, but...I do believe there is a connection. Have a great night!!! |

... I went to my health food store and got a product called Ultimate Flora. It is kept in the refrigator section, and has 50 billion cultures per capsule. I'm not sure if all health food stores keep this cool, but my local store does (it's helpful). Wow, 50 billion. (And yes, it is good that you got it from a store that keeps it in the fridge - ensures maximum potency!) Here's my take on probiotics - you need to take the *exact* right strain for your needs. For example, I took two courses of clindamycin, and suffered intestinal problems (a common side effect). I had no idea what was causing it, so I just kept taking the antibiotics, and my intestine problems just got worse. I finally figured it out, and took probiotics. But taking just any probiotic product, even well-regarded brands (Solgar, Ethical Nutrients) didn't help. I even got them from a fridge (Whole Foods, Great Earth Vitamins) and made sure they had a high count. And they were even designed to help me with my intestines. But they didn't seem to do anything. So I finally tried Culturelle - which has some new patented strain of Lactobacillus, blah blah. Anyway, it worked. I felt better right away. But also super-expensive! As far as the Ultimate Flora goes (is this it?) http://www.vitaminshoppe.com/store/en/brow....jsp?id=RW-1029 Wow, it's got a whole lot of strains, and a very high count! Good luck, and please update me on how it goes. -------------------- |

Ok. So today, I don't THINK I can feel the burn. Well, I have a couple of times but not as bad. But my bf and I were fooling around (no real sex. Haven't had that in ages it seems) and I noticed I smelled like Pizza Hut. And I still do. I asked him to smell me and he said that I smell mustier than usual. I know what you're thinking, "Probably yeast from the flagyl." But I'm also trying to keep in mind that I also ate a lot of fries and chicken strips at Raising Caines tonight. I've been cutting carbs out of my diet completely for the past 2 or so months but I've cheated a few times in the past couple of weeks. You think it could have just been what I ate? I do know that what you eat can affect the smell down there. Does anyone else ever smell like pizza sometimes? I also still have bubbles in my secretions which I know is a sign of bv. It just worries me, b/c through my entire bv experience I've never really had a smell until now. Until I started treating it.
Oh, and I also smoked a good bit today too. Ugh.... |

To any new comers who in a a state of panic because you just realized that you may have reoccurring BV, I went to my health food store and got a product called Ultimate Flora. It is kept in the refrigator section, and has 50 billion cultures per capsule. I'm not sure if all health food stores keep this cool, but my local store does (it's helpful). I'm seeing an iridologist and an amish herbal doctor tommorow..anything is worth a shot. I can't stop believing that my poor eating habits, lack of proper vitamins and minerals, imbalanced ph levels in my diet and stress did not cause this.
I found it very interesting that some of us are always cold, and never eat breakfast either.. I never have. maybe if we regulated our body temperatures..figured a way to keep warm..it could help..(not make our body work in overdrive to maintain itself) I know I'm grasping at straws but I really don't care. From the drug conversation, I'm going to get some kind of product that can cleanse my body out, and hopefully get rid of some toxins that my body can't or can cleanse but at a much slower rate. Thank you to those who answered. I'm not trying to get nasty here, but I didn't realize that mentioning drug use at this site would be a problem....with topics such as anal sex and female ejaculation. Good night everyone. |

Pianogirl, no, haven't tried it yet, but I need to. I also think mine is hormone related due to the Hysterectomy. Can you give me the web address again of where you ordered it. And I remember something about the mg or something.
Thanks!! Great to hear your doing so well!!! CONGRATS!! |

I was curious as to has anyone given the estroil a shot...I havent used it in well over a month and I have no smell and my period just ended.
This seems to be what helped, I believe my smell and discharge was a hormonal issue. Good luck ladies. |

Yeah, I saw your post a few days ago Sassy!! THANK GOD YOUR HERE!!! Have you tried the vaginal Flagyl yet?? Let me know how it works for you. It's not a 100% cure Sassy, but, it keeps the B.V. away. I don't think there is a cure. And that's just being honest with myself. It's back to what we all have said for awhile now, it's just something that we have to learn to maintain. And for me, the Flagyl keeps it away, and when there's a slightest hint...I just use one and it's gone. I haven't had fish smell for a couple of months now, just maybe once a month, it smells like shit. Not literal shit, just a funk smell. That's when I use 1 flagyl and forget about it. But since you are getting married in September, this will get you on your way. I wouldn't use it though while having sex, because for me, it did turn it into the yeast infection from hell. Glad to see you're still around!!! I miss you guys!!

Its not yeast. A wet prep AND an affirm have confirmed that. For some people bv burns. I know I'm not the only one around here that has burning as a symptom. It may not be common, but it is very real. I'm still going to have a culture sent to a lab just to see if there is any strange bacteria that the affirm isn't picking up, like strep infections or something. But I know its not yeast. However, if it is yeast, the culture will say so. I see the doc on the 18th for my colpo. I'll ask him to do all that testing then. That's great Morphia. You should be able to confirm on the 18th if the flagyl worked for you. -------------------- |

It may not be common, but it is very real. I think its because I'm fairly dry down there that I have the burning. Like I said, I really need to have my hormones checked.

arj75, trust me, I understand what you are saying. However, your constant talk of drug use is more of a trying to get a reaction then trying to figure out a solution. It worked! I did not mean to come off that way, however, I'm here to find solutions to a problem. If you need a solution to stop using drugs..you need to find another board. You along with EVERYONE on this board, are in similiar positions. I am a SINGLE mother of 4!! I work 50+ hours a week, but have still managed to find time to read the posts, before asking the same questions over and over again.
I personally get tired of repeating myself. B.V. is not a joy in my life. IT'S A PAIN IN MY VAGINA!! And for some of you who are new to the board, you will repeat yoursel for awhile, until you've reached your breaking point as well. THERE ARE NO SIMPLE ANSWERS FOR B.V. Hence, the reason there's a FRICKING BOARD ON THE INTERNET ABOUT IT!!! Like anything medical, you have to do your research. What's worked for me, may not work for you and vice versa. You have to do what we have done for the past year and use trial and error. BORIC ACID, gave me a RASH FROM HELL. On my forehead, AND my arms. How do I know it was the Boric?? Because tests results showed I was having an Internal reaction to something. The only that was going in me at the time, was the Boric. Stopped taking Boric, guess what, rash went away. So, I have also talked about this rash, over and over and over again on this board. Along with the Flagyl working vaginally. My time is just as important as yours and everyone else's. So, go back and read, if you truly want to get answers. You will see all the products we tried from Tea Tree Oil, to Boric, to Prescription drugs, to VITAMIN C VAGINALLY, to Folic Acid, to G-Natren, to Probotics, to Tetrasil...AND THE LIST GOES ON!!! Trust me, we are here to help, but you have to do your part as well. SASSY, NEVERENDING....WHERE ARE YOU???? |

I am, as well as many other women are curious to finding out what links in our past history that could be a contributing factor for bv. Drug use, being one of them. If it's offensive..don't read it. I you don't want to reply, then don't. I myself, can't sit longer than 20 minutes without having an aniexty attack or I would have already all of these posts. Not to mention that I have a full time job, a baby, a 7 year old, and I am a single mother. If anyone wants to vent or discuss their history here, it shouldn't be a problem for anyone. It's not like we can share this with alot of people.

Let us know how the appointment went for you.I don't know if you are like me when it comes to doctor appointments( I usually have to write down questions I have for the doctor before I go in if I don't I forget or leave out what I need to ask him). So maybe it would be good for you to write out all the questions you would like to ask him and then take that in with you and refer to it so you can cover everything with him.. -------------------- BVGIRL

I'm going to have to agree with Maggie. The burning sounds more like yeast than BV. So I was looking up "yeast arrest," and found that the company that makes it (Pharmax) also makes a bunch of products that specifically address BV! http://www.rockwellnutrition.com/product.asp?itemid=1208 I'm especially intrigued by the CandaClear suppositories which is supposed to replenish lactobacillus levels. Has anyone tried these? Morphia, if you feel that way, ask your doctor for clindamycin, pills. Hello Lori.. Yeah, I agree with you Lori on the burning it does sound like a yeast infection of some sort. I also was reading up on that website you mentioned it sounds good. Also, the suppositories peaked my interest too. I am thinking about trying it out when in need.. -------------------- BVGIRL

I've been seeing an obgyn and I've been tested for gonorrhea and chlamydia. Both came back negative. I got the affirm test (better than wet prep) for yeast, bv, and trich and the only thing that came back positive was bv. I know there is nothing else going on with me. I'm also on Diflucan for yeast prevention. I'm telling you, I know the Flagyl won't work. If there is anything additional going on with me it lies in my hormones or my immune system. As I've said, I suspect I've had this problem for over a year. Maybe even years! There's no telling what kind of Herculean microbe I'm battling here. The Affirm test missed both a case of BV and yeast which my gyn then FOUND using a wet prep slide. You have to have a gyn who actually is skillful at reading the latter. Also--Diflucan is effective against Candida Albicans yeast, but has little, if any, effect on Candida Glabrata , Candida Tropicalis, etc. species of yeast. I still vote that you have yeast. Burning is always a red flag for it. Maggie C. |

Well, I don't think the Flagyl is going to work. I'm pretty sure its not. I'm on my third day and I still feel the exact same burn. And I know its not yeast from the meds. From what I've read here it seems that you ladies have bv infections that go away with antibiotics but then they come back. Has anyone ever had one or is currently dealing with one that will just NOT go away AT ALL? As in one constant infection that is resistant to all antibiotics? I know this is only my second treatment but my intuition is telling me that this fucker isn't going anywhere. No matter what I throw at it. And we all know about women's intuition. EXACTLY what happened to me 2 years ago---terrible, unrelenting burning. If ONLY I had discovered boric acid then. It will kill both any BV PLUS ANY SPECIES of Candida/yeast you may have. And I still think you have yeast, despite your doctor's recent test. Most tests are not sensitive enough to pick up some of the less-common species of Candida yeast. Get some Yeast Arrest online, or obtain boric acid powder, empty capsules and make up your own to insert (DO NOT TAKE BORIC ACID ORALLY!). Or, ask your doctor to call in a Rx to a compounding pharmacy (if there is one in your area). I will forever be greatful that I FINALLY tried this, after countless other measures. Even though it's an acid--it didn't make my vaginal burning worse, and after about a week of nightly use, the burning finally wore off. Get better soon, maggie c. |

If more is better, then Turks & Caicos is exceptional. Two separate island chains between the Bahamas and the big island of Hispaniola, Turks & Caicos is comprised of some 48 islands surrounded by more than 300 miles of shallow sand flats. Most of those flats are sheer walls that drop off into the Columbus Passage that plunges past 7,000 feet. Thus, wall diving is a mainstay of the diving.
Provodenciales - Provo for short - is the most developed of the Caicos chain. Large resorts, a golf course and casino keep visitors busy when they're not diving tall stands of pillar coral or walls at Northwest Point. Staying on Provo also gives access to diving at West Caicos and French Cay. There are all sort of resort options here and plenty of good beaches and activities.
Southeast some 20 miles is the lesser-developed Turks chain. Grand Turk has tremendous walls a short three-wood from the beach and the entire West Coast is a marine park. Coral archways and tunnels lead to dramatic drop-offs and visibility is consistently good. Laid-back Salt Cay seems to be frozen in time and is a great way to get away from civilization. The wall on its western shore starts in just 30 feet of water and the wreck of the HMS Endymion is always fun to dive.
American and Northwest fly into Provo. There is regional service to all of the other islands from there.
The U.S. dollar is the accepted currency and English the official language.
There is a $15 departure tax.
