Levaquin and cipro
Common Questions and Answers about Levaquin and cipro
has anyone ever been on Levaquin (it's in the same class of antibiotics as
)? I was on it for 5 days of my 10 when I started getting some wrist pain
they took me off it. I am now feeling pain here and there, but no idea if it's related. I didn't even know it causes tendon damage! Just wondering if anyone else had those side effects??? If so, did they ever go away? You read on the internet tons of horror stories about it and I don't want to end up like that!

These drugs are awful. i had been given
. I did find that taking 3 mg of boron a day (purchased at a health food store) inactivates the fluoride and got rid of the joint pain and burning in about a week. However to this day 4 years later the tightness in my leg remains. I worked with a trainer and my muscles are fine now. These drugs should be avoided at all cost!

I have some recurring urological problems (prostatitis/epididymitis) and in the past have been prescribed
. I have an appointment with the urologist coming up
am sure I will need another course of Cipro. I hate taking that stuff. Everytime I take it, I feel extremely tired. It is almost to the point that I can't work. Usually better after a week on the meds. Anybody else have that reaction? I guess it is a necessary evil because the urolological problems always get better.

Yes, I will NEVER take any
or any others in that family. Had terrible side effects, had to go to ER. I think these are very powerful antibiotics... should be used only as last resort. Good luck to all!

As if tendinitis
tendon rupture were not serious enough Levaquin side effects, the antibiotic has now been linked to yet another side effect. The Levaquin medication, which already carries a warning about the risk of tendon ruptures and tendinitis, was linked in a study to an increased risk of diplopia (double vision). So patients who may have been concerned about Levaquin tendon ruptures may now have to be concerned about problems with their vision.

I had a bad experience on levaquin with the burning head. I had burning fingers

I called the doctor they told me to stop taking it immediatly and they put me on amoxicillin. I don't go on antibiotics very often, but from now on the only one I will take is amoxicillin.

My husband took
for a long period of time after having surgery. He has since had a ruptured tendon in his arm. We have done a lot of research and have found that there have been some law suits in progress against the drug. My husband has never had a problem with any tendons. It ripped so hard that he can not move his right arm. If I were you, I would stay clear of the drug.

It can cause tendon rupture
pains that last for months.
is a drug of a similar type/class that is usually well-tolerated. Talk with your physician about choice of a generic alternative antibiotic. There is no good reason to specify Levaquin for an infection.

Whenever I take either

Every time I take
I get a very itchy rash about the size of a silver dollar on the back of my left hand. After I stop taking the medecine the rash spot will turn black and will not clear until after about a year. I am a fairly health 74 year old man. By the way I also react to Sulfa drugs but the rash is more generalized and not as bothersome. Is there any significance that with Cipro the rash always appears on the same location?

In 2008, the FDA ordered the black box warning for all fluoroquinolones (which include
). I started taking
before I knew how dangerous it was (I'm over 60

I have been to Ortopaedic MD's who belive it must be a pinched nerve, been taken off certain cholesterol lowering meds, etc. All to no avail. The pain never goes away. It is like having a 24/7 flu in my legs. I do not know what recourse I have.

Dr, Searched and could not find an appropriate answer. I am the true worry wart and even though based upon your posts my worries should be little, I can't stop worrying.

Unfortunately, the side-effects of
other quinolones such as
can last for months or longer. I took Cipro 6 months ago and I'm still experiencing full body tendonitis, joint pain, muscle pain and weakness, tingling and burning sensations, stabbing pains, and more. The insomnia went away after about 6 weeks for me. I am a 36 year old female, and was very active and physically fit.

There's a magic to the moments that happen in the city. The unpredictability is best noted at the intersection of concrete shapes and fluid forms. It is both a natural and unnatural environment, which is why I find it so interesting to document.
This weekend I am headed to New York City to captured engagement photos for two couples who call the city home. I love being able to travel and photograph people in a meaningful place – perhaps one that holds the whole story of their relationship – before their wedding day. It's the ability to observe the nuances of any location, and the interactions of people in it, that makes creating photographs interesting… and I look forward to sharing what I capture. Follow my trip over on Instagram and remember that it's just the highlights.

Houston, Texas - Did you know that Samuel Colt was out of the gun making business? Sure enough, back in 1843, Sam Colt's Patent Arms Manufacturing of Paterson, New Jersey, declared bankruptcy and closed up shop. If it wasn't for an order from Captain Samuel Walker of the Texas Rangers in 1847 (as well a helping hand from Eli Whitney Blake), then his name would have been lost to the collectors and trivia buffs.

Fairfax, Virginia - A new week means a new episode of NRA News' Commentators. Episode 6 brings us back to urban gun enthusiast Colin Noir in "Responsibility."
Colion wasn't pro-gun until the day he went to a range. "It was an eye-opener," he says. The reality behind a firearm is that "It doesn't have a soul, it isn't evil, it's just an inanimate object." Noir's goal now is to spread the facts about guns and hopefully change some minds.
In this episode, Mr. Colion Noir (@MrColionNoir) addresses Vice President Joe Biden's inability to give advice on gun safety and home protection.
Commentators air every Monday on NRA News. Tune in each week for a new episode featuring one of the new NRA News Commentators, or visit NRAnews.com to watch the episode online.
New Berlin, Wisconsin – Sportsman Channel, the leader in outdoor television for the American sportsman, announced that its ground-breaking, news-talk television series—NRANEWS Cam & Co.—is off to a tremendous start earning a No. 1 ranking in ratings for the key M18-49 and M25-54 demos.*
Additionally, since launching on January 15, outdoor TV's first-ever LIVE news-talk series has fueled the network to No. 1 in growth in the time period for M18-49 coverage area ratings across all networks for the weeks of 2/18/13 - 2/22/13 and 2/25/13 - 3/1/13, versus 2Q 2012 average. For M25-54, the series was No. 1 and No. 2 in growth for the same weeks, respectively.

"I am unapologetically a Gun Enthusiast," Noir says on his Google+ page. "I love shooting, I love guns, and all things gun related."
Noir burst on the internet scene thirteen months ago with a video on his Every Day Carry (EDC) inventory. A wallet, an iPod, car keys, and a GLOCK 36. Over time, they morphed into an engaging collection of commentaries on gun related issues of the day.
"I think at the end of the day, when we start thinking about the policies and the things we want to implement in this society to make us safer, we need to look at the hard core facts, not manipulating people's emotions," says Noir in one of his YouTube videos. "That gets us no where. Especially when the things that you're trying to implement aren't going to do anything but make it worse for the law abiding citizens of this country."

Alexandria, Virginia - Capping off a stellar week of shooting sports celebrities, industry insiders, and our little gang from the National Firearms Museum, NRA News wraps up "Straight Shooter Week" on the Sportsman Channel with NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre.
Hosted by Cam Edwards, NRANEWS Cam & Co. features in-depth news and views of the Second Amendment and other freedom-related issues. If you'd like to show your support or ask a question, tweet #Gunversation on Twitter.
Keene, a lifelong hunter, has been involved in national politics for more than thirty years. Elected NRA President at the 2011 Annual Meetings and Exhibits in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, he recently spoke with CNN's Jake Tapper regarding possible firearm bans, restrictions and limitations being discussed on Capitol Hill.
"What we're interested in doing is getting members of Congress and members of the Senate to listen to their constituents and to vote to protect the Second Amendment," Keene told Tapper. "We think if you have a debate on these issues, if you have a debate on what's effective and what isn't effective, that what we'll come out with at the other end of this maze that is the Congressional bill making machine is going to be reasonable."

Cheap ski holidays in hundreds of ski resorts worldwide.
The 2011/2012 season has to have been one of the snowiest winters for years. It snowed, then snowed and then snowed some more. In fact, the winter was so long, that we were still seeing snow-filled photos of Val d'Isere in June.
But how good was it really? Some reports stated we were having the best snow in 20 years, including rumours that in February Meribel had more snow than Val d'Isere for the first time since the '60s.
Overheard in Meribel " For the first time in over 20 years better snow than Val d'Isere" Get there this weekend— Alpine Action(@AlpineActionski) January 3, 2012
Overheard in Meribel " For the first time in over 20 years better snow than Val d'Isere" Get there this weekend
So, rather then discussing hearsay and rumours, let's have a look through the snowfall records of the past four seasons to see how good a winter it actually was. To make it simple, I'm sticking to three of the big resorts, but tweet us @igluski if you would like to know more about your favourite resort.
Val d'Isere — one of the most popular and snow-sure resorts in the world. From 2007-10 in December, the average snow depth ranged 61-141cm, giving an average of 103cm of snow. Considering this is the first month of the season, that's not too shabby. 2011 started in similar fashion, with a respectable 137cm snow — some 34cm above the previous 4 year average — and most of it fell in little over two weeks!
January offered an average of 133cm of snow over the four previous winters, with a low of 86cm and high of 144cm. In 2012, that previous high was smashed, with an monumental 180cm of snowfall. February's average snowfall from 2008-2011 was 130cm, with March offering a slightly higher 140cm of snow, whereas February and March 2012 boasted 172cm and 167cm respectively.
The biggest surprise was the end of season snow. AJ, our Head of Sales, always says the best time to hit Val is late March and April. There is usually a good snow-pack for off piste and the sun is out for the après party. The records back the claim up — the month of April from 2008-2011 offered an average of 104cm of snow, which is pretty good considering spring is coming into full force. However, April 2012 offered an unusually high level of snowfall at 144cm — with spring skiing in Val d'Isere definitely at its best for a long time.
St. Anton has boasted great snow for years due to the Arlberg's micro climate. St. Anton regularly sees snowfall of more than two metres in a month, and in the past four years has even seen the figure breaking the three metre mark on four occasions — three of them were last season. Though the resort often has less snow in the village than Val d'Isere, its slopes are more than comparable with the snowiest in Europe.
St. Anton, in the season just gone, had an average snow of 92cm which fell behind the previous December's 102cm. Though come January, record levels of snow arrived and just kept on arriving all the way through the season. January 2008-2011 had seen an average of 104cm of snow; this was blown to pieces with the phenomenal 310cm of snow that fell this year, with up to 458cm on some of the upper slopes! The previous three seasons had seen an average of 134cm in February and 156cm fall in March. 2012 obliterated recent records with 328cm in Feb and 256cm in March — for a resort based at 1,300m that's an incredible amount of snow.
So much snowfall arrived in St. Anton that some peak boasted around five metres of snow at the summit and much of the off piste was a no-go to novices — due to the depths and the snow pack that had formed. 2008/09 had seen fantastic snow, but last season really was one to remember in the Arlberg.
Cervinia, which is on the Italian side of the Matterhorn and linked with the Swiss resort of Zermatt, is another resort to have benefitted from a bumper season of snow. The Italian resort started will with 141cm of snowfall in December, which is pretty much on par with the resort's average snowfall of 146cm over the three previous winters.
Heading into the peak season months of January through until March, and Cervinia really held its own last season — boasting among the most snow in Italy and more that it's more renowned Swiss neighbour. In January the resort offered 204cm of snow on its slopes, compared the previous average of 154cm. February was still going strong with 187cm, compared to the 2009-2011 average of 161cm and March rounded off a great season with 155cm, whilst April boasted 170cm. Although, the concluding months of the season didn't quite reach the highs of 2008-09.
The snowfall was actually similar to the 2008/09 winter, but less windy, colder days and nights — and a handful of bumper weeks — really made the 2011/12 season stand out.
Some people were expecting a bad season due to the La Niña effect, and though Whistler — as it always does with this storm pattern around — benefitted from its third record breaking season in a row, Europe in general had a cracking season.
The best snow was found in France, Austria and sections of Switzerland, with parts of Italy and the USA being the main areas to struggle for good snow. Mt. Hood in Washington state is generally known as the snowiest resort in the world, but the off-piste Mecca of Engelberg regularly matched and even beat the North American resort, meaning for much of last season the snowiest resort on the planet was in little Switzerland.
For me, the season has merely proved that weather patterns come and go and the mountains are still getting amazing levels of snow. Roll on 12/13.
Who'd have known that Alan Partridge spends his Friday nights ripping up the slopes of Norwich!
You can tell when summer has arrived at Iglu, as AJ puts down his sales head — giving the sales team some much deserved respite — and picks up his blogging pen. This week's gem is a guide on how to buy skis.
Buying skis has become a lot more popular in recent seasons. This is partly because ski rental prices are soaring in the Alps and partly because British skiers are getting better and want to advance further.
Having your own skis means you don't have to spend time learning how to ski a new shape every time you go. You can buy much better skis than you can get as a rental and the bindings on rentals are very heavy because they have sliders to fit many boot sizes and must be heavy duty enough to be bashed around by punters every week of the season. No one respects a rental and if you see someone cruising through thin snow with rocks they are more than likely to be on rentals.
Look how pleased Scotty, one of our ski experts, is with his recent purchase — the K2 Kung Fujas
Is it cost effective?
Renting your skis costs between £60 & £120 depending on your level and on the resort. A good set of skis with bindings will set you back £300 to £450, but this can be halved if you buy at the right time, at the end of a season. Then there is ski carriage of £35+ for every time you go skiing.
So, the answer is that, it costs about the same if you use your new skis five times. However, your ski experience will be enhanced, and if you are like me, then there is no price on the love affair you will have with your shiny new kit. It will also increase your real skier cred in the airport queue, in the cable car, and at the après ski bar. So to sum up, you will look better, ski better, and have more friends!
There are so many more skiers taking their own kit that some smaller charter flights have had to limit the number of skis taken onboard. So make sure you book your ski carriage at the time of booking your holiday!
The average UK skier buys a set of skis after going skiing six times and boarders slightly earlier at four times. By this stage you should have a good idea of what kind of skier you are. Beginners, however, should not buy skis! I wouldn't't recommend buying skis until you are comfortable on black runs and capable of basic off-piste.
I could go on at length about the technical side of ski design. Techies talk about side cut, turning radius, flexibility, camber, rockers, binding risers, bla bla bla. These are important but can be broken down into three very simple categories of ski. There aren't really any bad skis made anymore, so it's just a case of finding your preference.
I am going to leave out specialist competition mogul skis, racing GS skis or big mountain, fat heli-skis. If you are in the market for these then you sure don't need my advice. Actually, maybe you can take me in your helicopter next time — please.
Piste Cruisers and Mogul Masters.
Not everyone wants to blast the frosty lip off a monster cornice and drop through the big blue into bottomless pow on a 50° couloir. Let's face it, most people don't do anything remotely like that.
If you're keen to make nice edge turns, on piste, at high speed then then get yourself a good carver. I've always loved the feeling of compression and then spring back energy from the ski, when you are at warp speed and swinging from edge to edge. A carver has a middle width of around or less than 80mm, a nose of 115mm to 120mm and a tail of around 100mm to 110mm. This gives a nice big side cut for classic edging and still offers enough of a shovel at the front to get through any occasional powder or crud.
Get a length that comes up to the bottom of your nose. These shorter and more responsive skis are also the best to get amongst the moguls with. For carvers, you should stick with the established big brands to get a well-made ski that will last 10 years or more. Try Head, Rossignol, Atomic and Nordica. My favourite carvers are made by the best of the US ski makers, K2 — The Stinger 119/72/103 is fast and smooth and The Charger (122/74/106) is just a bit more advanced and capable of really high speed turns and a quite bit of off-piste fun. With this type of ski you may want to get a riser under your bindings to give you a greater angulation for sharper turns.

The All-Mountain, Off-piste Adventurer.
This sort of ski has become the most popular in this century. Modern ski manufacture has made skiing off-piste so much easier, that virtually everyone is getting involved. These skis are wider and longer than piste skis, so that they can float on powder and smooth out crud and rough terrain.
They still maintain some side cut, so that you can easily navigate the pistes but they tend to have a much longer turning radius. This means that when you roll over on your edges the turn takes longer to complete. If you want to make short turns it takes more skill to pivot rather than carve. For these skis you need to be fairly advanced to get the most out of them and you should get them at a length just taller than yourself.
There are so many skis in this range that I could fill several pages with reviews. Every manufacturer has at least three models in the all-mountain range. Before you buy a bigger ski, try out a variety of rentals. Most rental shops will offer a package where you can change skis for a little bit more money. If the chance arises then get yourself to a demo day — where plenty of ski makers will gladly give you a chance to ride their latest kit in the hope of making a sale.
I'll readily admit to being a ski snob as I expect to outlay £500 to £600 for my skis, with good lightweight Marker bindings — go for the £200 in the sales as they'll cost you. But for that I will get the very best ski I can find, and it will last me at least 7/8 years. Mine are made by the best Swiss manufacturer, Stöckli, who are the last of the big manufacturers that hand-make their skis. They will last forever like a Rolls Royce. I can also highly recommend brands Völkl (those Germans make things to last), Scott, Armada, and K2. I love the K2 Kung Fujas (133/102/127) and they are the ones I'd buy right now. They are achingly cool and best in class.
Park Rats and Jibbers.
This is generally a younger crowd that, 10 years ago was only ever going to go boarding, but the new park skis mean you can do more in the park on skis than you ever could on a board.
Skis for the park can be pretty versatile, but your basic needs are twin tips for skiing and jumping, both forwards and switch (backwards). They need to be really flexible to give the most forgiving landing. As an example, I was filming one of our resident park loving sales team this season in the Val d'Isére Terrain park, when he pulled a back flip in the black section. He under-rotated and landed on the knuckle of the down-slope with his weight way over the front which would normally be terminal and painful (like my jumps). His soft park skis with central bindings were so forgiving that he somehow pulled off the landing. I was made to feel much better when he tried a barrel roll on the next jump and over-rotated and face planted. I got it on film and it still gives me a chuckle!
Freestyle skis tend to have wider, straight sided middle sections and spoon shaped shovels at both ends and have the bindings positioned more centrally. These skis will be flakey at high speed carving and too soft to take into the big mountain environment where precision can be the difference between going off a cliff by accident or making the vital stop. They are perfectly fine for normal piste skiing and powder work but they will not carve or float as well as skis designed for that purpose.
These skis are a bit more specialised and therefore you should look for brands that are at the cutting edge of technology. The best park ski out there at the moment is the Dynastar 6th Sense Distorter, with dimensions of 119/87/109. I also like the Scott Punisher Jib and the Armada T-Hall — named after freestyle Guru Tanner Hall. I see lots of jibbers on short skis for easier aerial work, but if you want a more versatile ski that can crank outside the park then get them at a length that comes up to your forehead.
Next time you go into a shop to look for a ski that suits you, think about the three main varieties. Are you the high speed piste blaster, the big air trickster and jibber, or the all-mountain off-pister? All skis can do all things and multi-task, but start with what you love and go from there. Your ski shop techie will love nothing more than to give you his advice. They are all ski-bums at heart and think about the snow all day long. Just don't get railroaded into a sale.
It may take many visits to many ski stores, just like speed dating, to find your new love affair. And do NOT try to save money on the bindings! Get the very best they have available. They can save your life.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Two Middle Tennessee men have pleaded guilty to federal hate crimes for their role in firebombing a mosque in Columbia earlier this year.
Jonathan Edward Stone and Michael Corey Golden both pleaded guilty Monday in federal court to one count of destruction of religious property and one count of use of fire to damage religious property.
Stone was 19 and Golden was 23 when they were arrested after the Feb. 9 attack on the Islamic Center of Columbia. They will be sentenced at an undetermined date.
The firebombing burned down the small mosque in a storefront. No one was hurt.

What if the outside world is just a reflection of what is going on inside you?

What if the outside world is just a reflection of what is going on inside you?
Maybe the behaviors you witness and experience that upset you are a message to you about how you are treating yourself....
I was twenty-one when I took a Greyhound across the country into Maine. It was a long and brutal trip, and I was travelling from BC; so I was on the bus for five full days. Needless to say, on Day Five, when I went through Niagara Falls and Buffalo, NY, I was exhausted and hoping to get some sleep, so I pretended that I was sleeping and guarded the seat beside me jealously.
But the bus was really crowded; packed like sardines. And so eventually, because I present like a tough cookie but am actually a marshmallow, I invited a young man to sit beside me.
I have the honor of facilitating the moon circle this month, for my Women's Sacred Circle. We're meeting tonight, at the full moon. I thought I would share what I have prepared, here, since it is mine to share, and I would be curious about what a moon circle would be like, if I wasn't participating in one. The format was sent to me by the women who planned this year's circle endeavor, but they said it was a loose guideline. If you want to set up a moon circle, do it however you like! This is how mine is going to go, and it's similar to the ones that went before, in my particular circle.
Of the Vanic virtues, Openness has been paradoxically the easiest for me to cultivate, as well as the hardest save for any but Passion.
As a creative person, obviously openness is a part of the creative makeup. It is hard to actually create things if you are not willing to experiment, trial and error, maybe take it apart and start over again a different way, look at it from a different angle to make sure it's coming together as intended... it is hard to create things if you're not willing to risk failure and risk rejection. Every time I make something, whether it is a necklace or a poem or a story or a piece of digital art, I am building from the ground up, and while I tend to have clear ideas in my mind of what I want out of something (I rarely see just beads, I usually see about seventeen finished products), the getting there is often radically different than how I think it's going to get there and often there may be a few necessary adjustments and improvements to the original idea. So from the perspective of an artist, openness comes naturally....
In her memorable novel Reindeer Moon, Elizabeth Marshall Thomas tells a harrowing tale of a winter birth in Ice Age Siberia. As Yanan, seven winters old, is traveling with her family between winter lodges, her mother goes into labor. While the family makes camp, Yanan's mother goes off alone to find a suitable birthing-place. (Since predators are drawn to the smell of blood, to give birth in camp would endanger everyone.)
She finds herself a spruce with a good, strong trunk to brace her back against, low protecting branches, and ample duff to absorb the birth fluids. She builds a fire for what warmth and protection it can offer, crouches against the bole of the tree—squatting is the natural birthing-position for humans, with Earth herself helping to pull the baby from the womb—and prepares herself for a long night.
Thomas knows whereof she speaks. As a young woman in the 1950s, her anthropologist parents took her and her siblings to the Kalahari Desert to live with the !Kung, among the very last of Earth's hunter-gatherers. Her personal experience and careful observation of Bushman culture lend her stories of the Eurasian Ice Age a noteworthy sense of authenticity.
I've just finished re-reading the Deathgate Cycle, a 7 book series published in the early 1990's and one of my favorite fantasy series. One of the reasons I like the series so much is the appendices, which the authors created to explain various aspects of the series, including how the magic in the series works. Although neither author is a magician, so far as I know, the detailed explanations they share provide a lot of insight into not the magic of their series, but magical work in general. For example, one of the concepts they talk about is the importance of definition in magic, and how definition shapes the raw possibilities into something that a person can understand apply to the world around him/herself.
I read the Deathgate cycle when it first came out, before I started practicing magic. It's fair to say that reading those appendices certainly had an effect on how I thought about magic, once I started to practice it in earnest. The concepts presented provided a way to understand magic that made sense to me, because what was presented was a very methodical approach to magic that made sense. That I would find some similar approaches in actual books on magic only confirmed to me the value of looking outside of strictly magical texts to find inspiration in my magical work....

Commentary on gun rights errs in several ways - Roanoke.com
Commentary on gun rights errs in several ways
Re: "Gun rights should apply to the general good," May 15 commentary by Lawrence Reid Bechtel:
The writer makes the same false assumption made by most non-lawyers and non-constitutional scholars that the Bill of Rights confers certain rights. The Bill of Rights confirms certain rights contained in the Constitution and common law. In other words, rights we already have as citizens.
Likewise, he errs in that he does not recognize that the militia clause is a preamble to what is "the right of the people," in this case, the right "to keep and bear arms." "The right of the people" also appears in the First and Fourth amendments. The 10th Amendment also mentions "the people." Only a fool believes that the framers meant that the people meant individuals three times and a collective in another.
His attack on the Heller decision sinks low in trying to make his point. One can only wonder if he has read Heller, much less understands the legal reasoning. The decision has been made, and Bechtel needs to get over it. The decision is what the law is and has always been. As President Reagan often said, "We win, you lose."

Full text not available from this repository.
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) constitute a class of organic pollutants in the environment that come from combustion of organic matter and petroleum products and from natural sources. Reconstruction of PAH history from two sedimentary cores of the Strait of Johor in peninsular Malaysia showed predominance of urban over marine-based sources of oil pollution. Laboratory analysis of the cores found oil pollution from city-sourced material since 1910 and 1940 in the near-shore and offshore samples, respectively. Using hopane as molecular biomarker of petroleum pollution, this study found a predominance of Southeast Asian-originated oil and its derivatives. This study concludes that crankcase oil, asphalt, street dust and urban sediments considerably contribute to oil pollution of the study area.

Wedding: 11/18/2012
Easy to work with, affordable, plenty of space for event and getting ready and, most importantly, BEAUTIFUL!
Wedding: 10/6/2012
My husband and I moved out of state a few days after our engagement. So when the wedding planning process began, it was our parents who would travel to venues, take pictures, and send them to us.
We had our parents travel to quite a few different locations, but as soon as we saw the pictures from The Wimbish House we knew our search was over. The Wimbish House is absolutely stunning inside, and it accommodated the amount of guests we wanted to have perfectly. There is also a certain charm that surrounds the house that is often hard to come by, and we also loved the fact that it is a mansion surrounded by the skyscrapers of Downtown Atlanta.
Our guests were exceptionally impressed with the Wimbish House and complimented the venue immensely.
The only thing to watch out for is that there is a nightclub that also hosts private events right near by and if you are planning to have your ceremony at the Wimbish House, make sure it doesn't clash with any events at the nightclub, because if it does you may have some seriously unwanted bass coming through during your ceremony. We didn't have any issues with noise from next door, but I figure this is something other brides might want to know.
Overall, we were so happy and pleased with the Wimbish House,it was the perfect venue for us, and we couldn't have imagined having our wedding anywhere else.
We loved the Wimbish House...beautiful, classic, well organized, "different"....would choose this place again.
Wedding: 7/7/2012
The Wimbish House was the perfect location for my wedding. It suited the needs of my family, friends and guests. The ambiance was beautiful and the character of the house added such detail to my wedding day. The Wimbish House is extremely organized and ready to help make any wedding day a sucess. The location is perfect for a "city" wedding and made it fun for my out of town guests. The pictures proved what a perfect location the Wimbish House was for my wedding!
Wedding: 5/4/2012
I was very happy with our choice to use The Wimbish House as our wedding venue this May. The house is absolutely gorgeous, so you hardly need any decorations at all (all we used were photos to put in the frames they provide, and our centerpieces!). Beth Beery, who will be your contact there, is extremely well organized but also a bit strict/stern with their rules and whatnot.
Overall we were thrilled with the venue, but we did find it more expensive than we would like.
Wedding: 10/15/2011
The Wimbish House is a beautiful venue! If you like traditional elements, but want to incorporate some modern aspects, then this is a great place to do both of those things. The rates are reasonable and you still have the freedom to choose your own vendors. It's definitely for smaller weddings, 150 guests or less. The only disappointment was the event coordinator, who wasn't the most pleasant.
Wedding: 10/2/2011
The venue was beautiful and staff was very accommodating. The only thing that bothered me is that they set up way too many chairs for the ceremony--knowing that the number of guests attending was about half of the number of chairs they set up.

I highly recommend having your wedding at the Atlanta Women's Club (we always call it the Wimbish House). We had our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception there. I was a little nervous about the room flip, but it went very smoothly and the room was transformed! The place was beautiful and needed very little decoration. Beth was great to work with and helped us think through a lot of the logistics. A lot of our guests were from out of town and they were excited to go to a wedding in the city where they could walk to the hotel and to a lot of attractions. Basically, the location was awesome, the people were very helpful and friendly, the space was gorgeous and we would 100% recommend this venue for ceremony and reception!

Our ceramony and reception were both at the Wimbish House. Beth the Host is amazing to work with. She was there every step of the way for anything we needed. The House is beautiful and has so many places for amazing pictures.

I really enjoyed this venue. It was very beautiful on the outside as well as the inside. This venue made me feel like a princess. The only thing is parking. Eventhough parking is assigned directly behind the venue, the security guard didn't direct the guest well on parking, so they would park in the parking lot next door which was more money than the assigned parking lot.
Wedding: 6/5/2010
Beth Beery at the Wimbish House was wonderful to work with. The best thing about this venue is that they let you bring your own alcohol in, and the place is so beautiful inside that you don't have to spend a lot to decorate it.
Wedding: 5/29/2010
Wimbish House provided the perfect venue for both our ceremony and reception. The staff was so helpful leading up to the day and the day of the wedding. The venue perfectly fit our 100 guests and gave us intimacy that is hard to find in most venues in the city.
Wedding: 5/25/2007
Wedding: 9/27/2008
I loved that it was a pretty well kept mansion. It was the perfect size for the crowd I wanted to have and it didn't need much decoration from us to be beautiful.;The site backs up to a night club. During out ceremony at 6PM they were thumping techno music. Luckily I was in too much of a jitter fog to notice. I highly recommend amplifying the officiant and soft-spoken speakers for this reason.

Keep your toddler's feet and unidentified bacteria from mixing.
Orange juice and champagne is a delicious mix. Your toddler's feet and pool-deck bacteria is not a delish mix. The Roxy Toddlers' Mimosa Flip-Flops keep the bottoms of your little girl's feet off of pool decks and shower floors. The Mimosa Flip-Flops' PVC uppers repel water, while the EVA outsoles work to prevent that plywood-strapped-to-my-feet feeling. Roxy added a design on the straps and a logo on the footbed for sweet detail.

Sanguinary James
(A). A sheep's head not singed. A jemmy is a sheep's head; so called from James I., who introduced into England the national Scotch dish of "singed sheep's head and trotters." No real Scotch dinner is complete without a haggis, a sheep's head and trotters, and a hotch-potch (in summer), or cocky leekie (in winter).
A cocky leekie is a fowl boiled or stewed with leeks or kale—i.e. salt beef and curly greens. Gimmer (a sheep) cannot be the origin of Jemmy, as the G is always soft.

Taliban capture 11 in Afghanistan
KABUL, Afghanistan — The Taliban took 11 civilians prisoner, including eight Turks and a Russian, after their cargo helicopter made an emergency landing in eastern Afghanistan, officials said Monday, in the first large scale capture of foreigners there in nearly six years.
Security forces dispatched to the remote area retreated after engaging in firefights with the insurgents but failing to secure the area or retrieve the captives.
