The 2016 SXSW Film Festival may be nearing its end, but that doesn't mean all the good stuff is over.
It's Wednesday night, a night full of promise! Promise of romance and a half moon hung low in the evening sky. Or maybe promise of some supes bitchin' bands playing their little hearts out.
Iconic clothing designs are made through a marriage of art and innovation. That's why Levi Strauss & Co. has outfitted all 400+ SXSW staff members in Levi's® Trucker Jackets for the second year in a row. The conference is known for creativity and for hosting the best innovators, and that...

Sigh...Why is it that some husbands can't seem to handle their mothers? Look-it's YOUR family, and YOUR children and you are the ONLY mother they have. If you haven't done so already you need to put your foot down and leave it. Grandma needs to back off and hubby needs to support YOU - not his mother. She had her turn being mommy and now needs to learn how to be grandma. I'm in the same situation wanting time with my baby before our families come swarming around. I'm currently in nursing school and have a two week window between semesters during which the baby is due. Odds are I'll only have a few days after the birth to spend with my husband and baby before going back to school, and I do not want anybody else to take that special time away. I'm still not sure how we're going to handle everyone but when the line is drawn, that's it. It's my child, and what I say will go. No ifs ands or buts. You can deal with the fallout later, but you can't get that bonding time back. Good luck!posted 11/08/2007 by jdubs802
I certainly feel for you! What a terrible position for her to put you in. You probably need to sit down with your husband and let him know exactly how this makes you feel, and let him know that you need his support. Then, the two of you should sit down with his mother together and let her know that this behavior is not acceptable. I know that sometimes situations such as this have other factors to perhaps consider, but when it comes down to it, You are the mother, and no one should take that away from you. Do not let her. Best of luck to you!posted 12/10/2007 by a BabyCenter Member
OH MY!She is defining herself as the mom, and using your child. Get clear right now about your boundaries, establish them and let go of feeling bad.She had her opportunity to raise her children, this is your ride sister! EMPOWER yourself!posted 07/24/2008 by a BabyCenter Member

Thought maybe with "Opening Day" of the 2014 baseball season a week away, you might enjoy using these VINTAGE El Dorado Springs Legion Team photos.
My mom produced them after I had asked Ken Fortney (front row second from left) if he remembered missing a fly ball in left field and throwing his glove down in disgust. I was probably somewhere around six years old at the time and remember it distinctly. Ken said he didn't remember the incident or even playing for the Legion team. My mom happened to be sitting at the table and I asked her if she happened to have a team photo and she said she did!
Here's the proof!
Players in the photo that I can identify are…
Front Row from left: Ken Fortney, Sam Hacker, Randy Frances; Back Row from left: Buddy Abrahamson, Melvin Ware, Philip Winters, Jim "Goose" McPeak, Dennis Mogan, Coach Jim Hacker, Coach Bill Campbell.
The second attached photo was of a team my dad also coached … the butchers. I don't know the league, or age, or any of them except Sam Hacker (back row 3rd from right in dark cap).

IceCap Asset Management: How To Lull A Banker To Sleep
When it comes to sleepless nights, Toimi Soini of Finland originally set the record by using the "toothpicks under the eyelids" method for 11 straight days. In hindsight, Toimi was an amateur. Toimi Soini was not a banker and this was his downfall. As for the Canadians, Swiss and British – yes they are all bankers, but not just any bankers. This terrific trio have the displeasure of forever being known as the bankers who sold their gold. The irony of course, is the action of the World's central bankers themselves is the reason why gold is destined to remain golden for sometime to come. And with gold sitting near $1700/oz, and with no end to the money printing games, the sleepless nights are destined to continue. IceCap's Keith Dicker opines on the wrong-ness of Alan Greenspan's economic miracle, equity manager's misplaced rationalization of performance as skill, China's gold-buying spree, the Nobel Peace Prize debacle, and the inexorable growth of 'fake money'.
- advertisements -
Wasn't it more honest of the Central Banks to sell their gold openly ...
Than to secretly lease it out or let people steal it but somehow claim they still have it?
Fort (cough) Knox ... US (cough) NY Fed ...
This leaves me in a quandary. Mr. oh-so-connected James Richard is adamant the leased U.S. gold has 'never-left-the-building'.
And who am I to contest that anyone would 'buy' Gold and not want to hold the Precious in their hand.
So yeah, the Gold in Fort Not & Waterworld (33 liberty st, NYC) might still be there, despite multiple claims against it.
A bit of a moot point since Uncle Gorilla can take definite procession anytime it chooses (Germans & other wimps be damned) ...
again, per --- oh-so-connected James Richard (who humbly describes himself as "just an analyst"),
This piece by IceCap strikes me as someone wanting to have their cake and eat it too.
One one hand, don't alienate the wealthy old school (with big investment bucks) by being too revolutionary, and yet ... can't exclude the hard charging new groups who are vastly more aware.
you forgot peter costello , of australia.
chinese full frontal?
not much to see here, move along...
QE (fake money) by US, Europe, Japan and UK from 2009 to 2012 is about $6 trillion.
Total debt of US, Europe, Japan and UK about $35 trillion
Unfunded liabilities of the above about $300 trillion.
The $6 trillion printed so far is completely inadequate to handle the debt and unfunded liabilities - so we will have eternal QE.
All the gold bullion available in the world about $4 trillion.
Gold should be much higher now.
Libertarian Party candidate Gov. Gary Johnson and the Green Party's Jill Stein
Excellent recap of the problems today; smart, objective guys; I'm happy that ZH posts their stuff.
Doesn't anyone see this but me, that it was a giant set-up to have the Chinese (and Indians...) buy up loads of gold at inflated prices, crash the system and leave them holding the biggest bag of all time?
Ahh, aren't you leaving out a few, such as the Brazilian CB, South Korean CB, Russian CB, Mexican CB, Iran, Turkey, etc. The list seems to keep growing despite Gold being a "tradition" and a "relic".
Seems to me it's more like a select few core Anglo Central Banks (and their minions) -- against the world. Even that is changing daily as chatter about re introduction of Gold into the Monetary realm is on the upswing throughout the establishment.
Now of course, the entrenched elites would seek to game any changes to their favor , but that's a whole 'nother subject best left for another post.
Left holding a bag of gold? There's a problem with that?
All that Gold didn't cost them a cent, just some old paper and ink.
And that bitch is complaining?
One small problem with your theory. Indians and Chinese have long term strategies. They will still be holding the bag when you are old and grey because that is how they view investing.
How To Lull A Banker To Sleep... Buy him/her a clock radio with a "soothing sound option" that sounds like a room full of printing presses running.
Your bounce in E/A may be on the way, YC. The pair skirted the 50% Fibo retracement for the last fourteen hours and only just now was allowed to toe the line. Possible upside to 1.257?
Or not. I don't get how if they left rates alone that there would be some reaction like that unless it was just to blow the shorts out.
Oh, well. Better luck next time!
Orly I don't know what you are talking about?
I shorted a/u last Thursday and closed out Friday at the close. I saw the weakness in the euro late last week 200 day average. It would have been pointless to trade e/a with the rate decision coming up tonight. The RBA held @ 3.25%.
Now I'm going to short a/u again. I also shorted u/j earlier today, as It looked like a good setup on the 4 hour chart and Japan seems to be getting it's debt ceiling issues in order. I'll watch u/j over the next few days to see how the dollar and crosses perfprm against it. My short is in the money about 25 pips with a tight trailing stop on it.
DOLLAR CRASH IMMINENT: We're Witnessing An Unprecedented Moment Where Countries Lined Up Demand Return of Their Golds Reserves While Central Banks Around The World Are Anticipating Unlimited Money Printing
hopefully not to many parasites, sorry, bankers, get sleep once this sort of action gathers momentum
funny how canada's gold disappeared about the same time the IMF was "helping" them sort out their finances.
i wonder which prime minister was responsible.. probably the same guy doing cash deals in hotel rooms with international gangsters.

i'd say his name, but i have to spit immediately afterwards.
"Regarding gold bullion, we continue to hold it in our portfolios whichnaturally allows us to sleep very well at night."
And in what form might that be? Perhaps paper chits?

How to write an article about your own product or service
Sometimes, the very best experts are those who create the products.
We often get requests from companies that wish to write articles about their own products or services (from now on, when we say "product" we mean "product or service"). Such articles are, by definition, self-serving since the companies in question obviously wish to promote their own wares. Just because a company might wish to gain visibility through editorial doesn't mean we dismiss a genuine offer of editorial content out of hand.
As it happens, there's a fine line between enlightened self-interest and out-and-out shameless self-promotion. Obviously, we can't and won't publish articles that are of a solely promotional nature in the body of the magazine. If you, as a vendor, wish to run such an article, we do offer you the option of purchasing an advertorial (which, living in our "From our sponsor" section, is clearly presented to the reader as something other than objective editorial). Should you wish to purchase an advertorial, feel free to contact our ad sales folks at email@example.com.
There are, however, a number of ways to write articles about your own products that can be of a substantial value and service to our readers. This, of course, will get you into the main body of the magazine and get you great PR. The key is to write about your product from a position free of hype and self-promotion. When our readers read our magazines, they're in an open frame of mind. They accept our articles as credible, independent editorial, without any affiliation or ulterior motive. And so, if you're going to write an article and get it published, you must not sacrifice that credibility. Remember, hype in an article is like an unwelcome and uninvited grope on the first date. It can spoil the whole experience.
"Remember, hype in an article is like an unwelcome and uninvited grope on the first date. It can spoil the whole experience."
There are a number of article types that you, as a vendor, might write and that we might accept and publish. The following sections describe these sorts of articles. Before we go into the types of articles, though, it's important that you understand another of our golden rules: we only publish exclusive articles. If the article's really a press release you sent out or if you're trying to place it in five magazines at once, we're not interested.
For more details on our article acceptance terms and conditions, please read "Getting started as a ZATZ author".
And now, onto the types of articles you might write.
The "getting the most out of..." article
This article is written about your product, but other than a short intro paragraph, it's completely filled with detailed instructions for mining the most value from using your product. For example, if you were Palm, writing about a Palm handheld, you might write briefly about what the handheld does and then talk about how to optimize HotSync speed, organize your To Do list, or connect to an Exchange server.
The key is that rather than enumerating a list of features, such as the ability to connect to an Exchange server, you're showing readers how to do it. In other words, don't tell, show. This sort of article is only accepted from vendors whose product is likely to be widely used, or when the article showcases how to solve a problem for which our readers are actively seeking a solution.
The "tips and techniques" article
This article is written about your product, but other than a short intro paragraph, it's completely filled with tips and techiques for getting the most out of using your product. It's similar to the "getting the most out of..." article, but in this case it consists of a barrel-full of short, handy tips.
The "problem solving" article
Much like the previous two article types, the problem solving article takes on one specific, common problem in using your product and delves deeply into the technical details of solving it. Think of it as a well-written version of a technical support call. And, of course, if you write such an article, you'll have a great place for your technical support people to point customers, getting them off the phone faster while giving them a great resource to solve their problem.
An even better approach is to write your article from the perspective of a problem your product is ideal for solving. For example, let's assume you're DataViz and you have a product that sends Microsoft Office documents to your Palm device. You might write an article on displaying PowerPoint presentations on your Palm handheld and that article would reference such tools as DataViz' Documents to Go and FlipChart. The key to credibility, of course, is to not blow your own horn too much. Also, if there are relevant competitors and complementary products you must mention them, as well, without using this as an opportunity to make them look bad. Done right, this will go a long way towards making the article credible to readers.
The "success story" article
Success stories are interesting, in small doses. Readers are going to be far more interested in general success stories about their platform of choice (i.e., Domino, the Palm computer, etc.) than ones that showcase just your product. But if you can successfully weave the two together, showing, for example, how Palm handhelds might be used in arctic exploration using your GPS module, or how Lotus Notes is helping end starvation in a third-world country using your volunteer management database, there's a better chance we'll run it. Again, focus on the problem and the details of the solution, not the hype. And realize that we're more likely to veto this sort of article than most others.
The "independent reviewer" article
While our editorial staff is nothing if not brilliant, we don't necessarily have experience with every aspect of technology. Sometimes, we need to turn to outside experts to write reviews. Going back to our previous example, if you've got a hardware product that's only useful on the side of a Himalayan mountain peak, we're probably not going to have an editor who's able to test it out (we do have pretty adventurous people here at ZATZ, but doing such a review would require us to unchain someone from his or her desk, which is a pretty serious violation of our "chained to your desk" corporate policy). Likewise, if your product requires a unique network topography or a very large number of users to field and test, it's probably not something we can do in-house.
There are two approaches you can take. First, you can let us know about your product, and we'll post a review opportunity here on AuthorPower. One of our independent authors might pick it up and run with it. Or you can find your own independent reviewer and have that person write a review. Of course, if you take the second approach, there's another fine line. The review we receive must be independent and objective. It must point out the good and the bad. It must not pull any punches. It's got to be honest and credible and most of all must not be something that's been "cooked" by your marketing department.
Frankly, this is a pretty smart and safe marketing opportunity. If you want a review sooner rather than later, give it to someone with the explicit instructions to be objective. Let them beat on you if you need it. Then, when you get the review back and before you submit it to us, read it. If it beats the crap out of you, don't submit it to us. Send it to your product team so they can address the problems pointed out in the article. You'll get a better product out of the deal. On the other hand, if the review's fair, send it on to us, and you'll get a quicker review, our readers will get an honest review, and you'll have gotten some good, quality feedback.
Once again, if there's even the faint odor of hype or a lack of objectivity, we'll bounce this pup right back to you.
The "category" article
Like a review article, this type of article can talk about your product, but only in the context of a given category, like "tax software" or "financial calculators." You should again have an independent reviewer write this sort of article, and again, you must make sure to mention competitors who are also in your category (and mention them nicely).
The "war stories interview" article
Everybody wants to be interviewed. ZATZ Editor-in-Chief David Gewirtz has interviewed luminaries from Palm inventor Jeff Hawkins to former Vice President Al Gore to senior executives at Microsoft, IBM, Lotus, SAP, and Sprint PCS, among others. But, like success stories, a few well-written interviews turn our readers on, while many, mediocre interviews will turn them off. In most cases, our readers will only tolerate us doing exclusive interviews with senior executives at Fortune 500 companies or people who are seriously famous.
But that doesn't mean you're out of luck. Most entrepreneurs have really cool and interesting "war stories." These are the stories about starting, funding, and operating a business that make for good cocktail party conversation. They're the exciting, fun, or funny ones that make people gravitate over to listen. They're stories that contain interesting lessons and ideas for other business owners and entreprenurial wannabes.
If you can create a short (1500 words or so) interview with a key person at your company (and please, oh, please don't make it with your head of marketing or PR), there's a chance we'll run it. But it's got to be interesting, charming, fun, and not at all self-serving. By now, you know the drill. Make it interesting. Can the hype.
The "lessons we learned building this" article
A variant on the interview idea is the "lessons learned" article. This article is mostly targetted at other developers and may become seriously technical. It's an article filled with "how I built it" meat that you might share at a professional conference. It might include things like how you got around a particular operating system limitation, or other challenges you had and how you got past them. This is the sort of article that might otherwise be a paper presented at a technical symposium. It needs to be long on details, meat, and how-to, and short on the fluff.
Tips for making sure your article isn't rejected
If you've read the rest of AuthorPower (and you have, haven't you?), you've noticed that we usually tell people how to make sure their article is accepted. But in this piece, we're talking to marketing folks, so a bigger stick is often needed. We've had some wonderful discussions with PR folks trying to place articles. We've told them about our non-hype rule. They've agreed that it makes sense and assured us they understand. Then we get an article submission that talks about a "revolutionary product that's poised to change the entire industry." Or "an exciting product that's destined to create an entirely new standard."
Bounce. Thwap. Return to sender. You get the idea.
Marketing folks (and we are marketing folks so we know this) love to use superlatives. Don't. Here are a few more tips:
- Run your article by some engineers. If they're still looking at you with that particular type of disdain that only an engineer can show for a marketer, there's too much hype.
- If your product manager or CEO loves it, don't send it to us. There will be, guaranteed, too much hype.
- Rather than having a PR person write it, let a technical writer have a go. At least a technical writer can write step-by-step instructions without waxing poetic about "the glorious People's install program" or some such self-aggrandizement.
- Look within your writing for key words like "exciting," "new," "revolutionary," "exceptional," "great," "wonderful," "amazing," "destined," "poised," "explode," and everyone's favorite, "profound." If you see any of these words, rewrite the article. In fact, rewrite the article at least twice because you're bound to leave some hype in after the first rewrite.
- When writing a "getting the most out of..." article, feel free to tell readers of your relationship with the product. Phrases like "obviously, I have a bias, but" go a long way towards increasing credibility.
- Also, when writing an article about your own company, don't write it like you're an independent source. You're in the company, you have unique insights, and you're far more credible if you own up to it. Just don't go over the top.
- Read our magazines. Make sure you understand our writing style.
- Read through our back issues. This will give you a good idea of the types of stories we cover. Then send us stories that are original but directed to the same audience.
- For the record, if you are an Internet ASP with a revolutionary new e-commerce site, we're not going to publish anything about you. Yep, we get about three of these a day. Still.
- Read all of AuthorPower. It's here to make you successful. In particular, read the writer guidelines.
- Oh, yeah, leave out the hype.
Successful articles
Finally, here are a few articles that have been written by vendors and have been very successful. Use them as examples.
- Bain McKay is Executive Vice President and Chief Scientist of CIRI Lab Inc. where he and his research team build advanced Knowledge Management technology using the latest methods in Cognitive Science and computing technology. Rather than writing about his own technology, his articles showcase him as the expert he is in his field. Bain's articles are somewhat more dry and read more like academic journal articles than we usually like to publish. Our DominoPower readership is highly technical and his thoughts are fascinating, in the context of that audience.
- Ben Brickman is an enthusiastic early adopter of ebooks and reads them on Palm handhelds, Rocket eBook Readers, and his desktop PC. He was recruited by Fictionwise to write a series of ebook reviews.
- Dan Simmons is a regular Contributing Editor to DominoPower and a Lotus Notes Recruiter for Continental Search, a recruiting firm specializing in Lotus Notes and Websphere. He writes about the Notes job market and in the process, puts himself in front of many of the world's leading Lotus job candidates and hiring managers.
- David Pogue is a best-selling book author. We often work with book authors to promote their books and at the same time promote our relationship with book authors. While in the process of promoting his book on Palm handhelds, David wrote a number of articles for us.
- Elia Freedman is President of Infinity Softworks and an avid financial calculator user. Back in the day, he wrote a great article on financial calculators that happens to showcase his own.
- Gail Shlansky was Domino Product Marketing Manager at Lotus, back when we started DominoPower. Now, we'll pretty much publish anything from Lotus. But here you can get a feel for how an insider at one of our "partner" companies can write for one of our magazines.
- Kimberly Bryant is a business and personal success coach who helps empower people to real fulfillment in their lives and work. She wrote a few articles on personal life management issues and related them to Palm handhelds and thereby also promoted herself to a whole lot of overworked people.
- Marty Kacin was Director of Professional Services at AvantGo. He wrote an absolutely excellent "getting the most out of" article. Now, this was a long time ago, but the article is still an excellent example of just how to do it right.
- Vince Lee founded TealPoint, where he's led the company's development of products such as TealDoc, TealInfo, TealMovie, and TealPaint. He developed an interesting product called TealMovie and wrote a great "getting the most out of" article .
- Shannon Pekary is the developer of a software product called Trip, which helps you track travel expenses. He wrote a great article entitled "Track mileage easily and save money on your taxes," which we published in PalmPower. If you visit his article at you'll notice he also touches on products from his competitors. The article went over great with readers.
Well, that should certainly get you started. If you're unsure about how to approach this sort of article, contact us at email@example.com. You can submit your article by sending it to us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Did you remember what we said about no hype? Good!

ThemZa has released the World Cup Teams Joomla 1.5 template, which will help football fans from around the world set up a weblog dedicated to their favorite national side and its performances during the ongoing 2010 FIFA World Cup tournament, the latter being not simply a sports summit, but rather a multi-national congregation gathered together to embrace cultural tolerance and to assert the power of fair play.

Fritz Winter's Große Komposition vor Blau 1953
Haacke spoke of Hans Sedlmayr, an Austrian-born art historian (Nazi party member and later, an advisor to the Vatican) who saw abstract art as an attack on middle class values. The social idealism under the Third Reich (and later the social realism in the GDR) was responded to by home-grown abstract artists showing at Documenta (in 1955) as well as NY AbEx painters whose shipping costs were subsidized by the CIA. In this context, abstract art was more than an academic argument, "It meant something," said Haacke. As abstract art lost its political luster, Haacke moved on to other media.Hans Haacke's Germania 1993 German Pavilion, Venice Biennale
Earlier in the evening Klein read off Tom Coburn's ammendment to the economic stimulus plan which stated in part:Édouard Manet's Execution of Emperor Maximilian 1869
"None of the amounts appropriated or otherwise made available by this Act may be used for any casino or other gambling establishment, aquarium, zoo, golf course, swimming pool, stadium, community park, museum, theater, arts center, or highway beautification project, including renovation, remodeling, construction, salaries, furniture, zero-gravity chairs, big screen televisions, beautification, rotating pastel lights, and dry heat saunas."Klein noted the equivalency created between places like LACMA and "rotating pastel lights."
"The low point was probably the remark by House Republican Jack Kingston of Georgia that it was wrong to spend money on the National Endowment for the Arts when in his state "we have real people out of work" — the implication being of course that people who build theater sets, or play in orchestras or work in museums aren't "real" workers."It would appear that even despite the best intentions of artists who attempt to set themselves above the politcal fracas, or debate the 'legitimacy' of political art, all art is political.
Manuel Alvarez Bravo's Striking Worker Murdered, 1934 at The Getty
"...in a society at war with itself, or under extreme transition, the production of any art at all cannot escape becoming political and politicized…"I would add that Iraq is at war with more that itself; it is also at war with the United States, another country undergoing extreme transition. That would mean that art made in the United States cannot excape the political.

Inspired by the aerodynamic precision of the world's smallest bird, the F&P Pilairo is a new type of CPAP/BiPAP mask with a self-inflating AirPillow Seal that "hovers" over the face, gently filling with therapy air, to seal into and around the nose.
Pilairo's AirPillow is so thin that it can move and flex in any direction; maintaining an effective seal without pinching or pressure.
Ultra-Light Low Profile Design: Like a hummingbird the Pilairo is light (under 2 ounces with headgear), simple, and adaptable. In use the Pilairo "hovers" lightly over the face on an adaptive AirPillow cushion providing soft, comfortable fit and a clear line of sight.
Self Inflating AirPillow Seal: The Pilairo's ergonomically designed AirPillow Seal uses CPAP pressure to self-inflate, creating an effective yet gentle double seal in and around the nose. The single AirPillow size adapts and curves to a custom fit on a wide range of faces so you don't need to try multiple pillows to find your best fit. The AirPillow is 3D contoured with fine Variable Thickness Silicone (VTS) that measures just 0.04 inches at its thinnest point and 0.12 inches at its thickest.
Stabilizing Wings: Stabilizing Wings on each side of the PIliaro mask provide a support for the AirPillow and assist with overall mask stability; so the mask's frame never touches the face.
Minimalist StretchWise Headgear: Unique and minimal, Pilairo's StretchWise headgear made of soft, latex-free, thread that automatically stretches and customizes to fit the wearer. There is no need for manual adjustments and tightening; just slide it on and enjoy. StretchWise headgear is stable and unobtrusive; it won't leave marks and indentations on the face. StretchWise headgear comes in one convenient size to fit a wide range of users.
Flexible Short Tube & 360º Swivel Elbow: A short delivery tube extends from the body of the Pilairo mask to provide a lightweight, super flexible connection to your main breathing tube. The flexible tube is designed to minimize pressure and/or pull on the face and therapy tubing. The Ball and Socket Elbow with 360º Swivel provides greater flexibility for tube positioning. Pilairo's exhalation ports ensure the flow is directed away from the patient and their bed partner for a quiet sleep.
We sleep for a third of our lives... During sleep we grow and repair; our bodies and minds are rejuvenated. Sleep feeds our quality of life. Every detail of the Pilairo is engineered and precision crafted to improve your sleep therapy experience. The Pilairo represents minimalist, highly effective nasal pillow mask design at its best and sets new benchmarks for comfort, seal and ease of use.

Wanted in The Hilltop: Creative, Young ProfessionalsMay 4, 2009 8:10 am Walker Evans
Could the Hilltop be hip? Yes, and that's the image it needs to project to spur an economic turnaround, says Cleve Ricksecker, a veteran of urban revitalization efforts in Columbus.
Ricksecker will share his thoughts on the Hilltop's potential in a talk Wednesday, May 6 at 7 p.m. at the J. Ashburn Jr. Youth Center, 85 Clarendon Ave. The free event is presented by the Hilltop Business Association and the Westgate Neighbors Association.
"If you're 30 or 35 and a creative person, you want to move to a place that's hip or will be hip soon," said Ricksecker, executive director of downtown's Capital Crossroads Special Improvement District. "The Hilltop needs to signal there's a new wave."
That's what the Short North did 30 years ago when it started Gallery Hop, an event that today draws thousands of people each month. Back then, Ricksecker had just moved to a run-down Victorian Village.
The Hilltop will redevelop faster than Victorian Village and the Short North, says Ricksecker, who led the Short North Business Association for several years. "When the Short North was developing, people didn't 'get' urban living," he said. "Today, people understand urban living."
Young adults are looking for a neighborhood, Ricksecker said. They don't want to live in Powell and they can't afford Victorian Village or Clintonville. That makes the Hilltop a strong market for first-time homebuyers.
"No one yet thinks of the Hilltop or Westgate as being at all hip, yet it's the hottest neighborhood in Columbus right now," he said. "What happens in Westgate will spread and stimulate the neighborhoods east of Hague. Commuting patterns will help this process."
Cleve's advice to the Hilltop and Westgate: Use the Internet to signal a new image. Also, appeal to artists to create live-work space and entrepreneurs to create a coffee shop or "a good, funky gathering place."
"Pay attention to your best demographic – young people in their 20s and 30s," he said. "That will be your best source for revitalization. It's inevitable that things will change for the better. What the Hilltop can do is speed up the process."

@apocaknits – Maybe if they marketed Hilltop as such to people coming in from out of town, it could work better. I hadn't even heard or ventured to that part of town until 3 or 4 years after I had moved here – I'd had no opinion of the neighborhood at all. What negative things I'd heard came from Boomer-aged people who also complained about the crime downtown and in German Village, so I took that with a grain of salt. No opinion is better than a bad opinion.Log in to Reply

I think the problem might be that the Hilltop really doesn't have an image at all right now. Hopefully, diverse people moving into the area will change that. There doesn't seem to be that much more crime here than any other part of town. Maybe police reports will show otherwise, but my experience living here has been good. Without a doubt, we need more businesses to open up shop.Log in to Reply

I think the Hilltop is on the rebound. The Ashburn Center is a great facility-If you go, you will be impressed. The new Health Center is on the way, and the new Fire Station is an anchor. You have plenty of jobs in the area with the State and other players there. The main problem is the safety issue from Lechner to Westgate. I think our police have a plan. The housing stock is plentiful, if you want to rehab. And hopefully for the Hilltop, they will get a piece of the Neighborhood Stabilization dollars. We'll see, but I think this meeting will be good for the community. Agreed that more businesses are needed. My grandparents have lived on the Hilltop for over 60 years, and now they have to shop at Harrisburg Pike. SHAMEFUL.Log in to Reply

We are HAVING businesses open up shop. Look for some big changes in the next year. I know I just said basically the same comments on the hilltop story a couple posts ago… We are a really active community. Just generalizing the hilltop as bad is like generalizing south Columbus as bad and leaving out German Village and Merion Village. Westgate and Wilshire Heights are beautiful neighborhoods with strong communities. They are great places to raise a family, buy a first house, retire. As our neighborhoods grow we expect there to be spill over into the adjacent not as friendly neighborhoods. Investments in those other neighborhoods could turn out to be really profitable if the right people make them.Log in to Reply

Tigertree, I couldn't agree more and I'm looking forward to the talk on Wednesday. I suppose I would be considered as living in one of the adjacent neighborhoods. I'm north of Mound, south of Sullivant, and east of Hague. The closest business to me is the former UDF which is now simply called "V".

Can you give any hints?

As a Hilltop res. I don't think making the neighborhood into a creative, YP, and YF area would be a bad thing, I think it would help. But first before it can give off that image, it needs to give its residents some basic services.Log in to Reply
Services like a local small coffee shop, a tanning bed place, hair cutting services, that arnt on the far end of west board by Target of even as far as georgeville rd. Small little food places, and antiques shops. as for the lager grocery store, I feel that where the Kroger, Target, and Save-a-lot are is just fine, I'd like more small businesses then larger retail chains on the Hilltop end of West Board.
After the local services have come in, then the neighborhood will not have that far to go to show the great houses, people and area that the Hilltop is. The rest will fall into place.

I see home ownership and the affordability of owning a home as the cornerstone of a lot of attract and retain efforts targeted at creatives in this city. I'm not dismissing the importance of affordable housing, but I'm merely pointing out that there appears to be a disproportionate heavy focus on home ownership as a strategy to lure creatives.
Obviously it depends on the person, but personally as a creative, home ownership is not much of a priority to me. Especially when developers start getting up in the mix and are suddenly a creatives best friend. lolz. I'd add that most creatives I know don't seem to care much about home ownership.
If the city wants young creatives to populate a district it would do well to think outside the home ownership box.Log in to Reply
joev May 4, 2009 3:31 pm at 3:31 pm
I can't imagine a lack of tanning beds has ever held back a neighborhood from gentrifying.
@jonmyers I think homeownership is a more attractive benefit to the city rather than to creatives, but I think it should still be pushed. It's a rare renter who invests in the physicality of a neighborhood (and increase taxable property values) the way homeowners do. Plus, the city does all this marketing work to get creatives here – homeownership keeps them here longer.Log in to Reply

Not to say creatives aren't buying homes, but in cities that have been successful that I've lived in or visited, home ownership is more of an afterthought.
Most creatives (especially self-employed types) I know couldn't even get financing these days if they did want to buy.Log in to Reply

What I'm paying for a mortgage is a lot cheaper than rent in the Short North, GV or VV. There's a good reason to promote home ownership, the real estate is quite affordable.
The problem being the stretches of West Broad and Sullivant that have little to offer the consumer beyond check cashing and cheap cell phones and do not appear to be safe.Log in to Reply

I think with most people in most scenarios, owning a home is the first step in owning a neighborhood. I can understand why they're targeting the "creatives" first, as they're probably more likely to be entrepreneurs and open businesses, fix up broken down homes, and even renovate second or third homes and either sell or rent them.Log in to Reply

I would love to get as many of you as possible to come out to the Westgate Home And Garden tour to get a more realistic look at what the hilltop has to offer. It's June 13th from 4-8 and you can get tickets at Tigertree. There are rough patches and no one is arguing that. We have a big PR challenge ahead of us to change some minds. I think the misperception of crime being so much worse there than the rest of the city is based on the occasional drive through broad st. at night and not actual experiences in our neighborhoods.Log in to Reply

We moved to Westgate in the fall of 2006, and I think that it's the most neighborhood-like neighborhood that I've ever lived in. In the last two weeks, one neighbor invited my son to grow beans in their garden and another baked us a bunch of cookies for giving their car a jump. In that respect, it's just been way more than I imagined.
We've heard a lot of ideas and seen some fits and starts since we got here, but Tigertree has been a galvanizing force who has helped bring ideas and people together in a way that has me convinced that great stuff is going to happen for the Hilltop.

Why the insistence on marketing neighborhoods to a small niche within Columbus vs. everyone? Like I've stated, there are plenty of people who wouldn't mind downsizing to a smaller, but not to small, city from around the country, especially the coasts. Problem is, how many of them know about Columbus, let alone the Hilltop? And why are we alienating other peoiple in Columbus who would move here by ignoring them?
A part of the problem is that this city is not setup for visitors. Downtown is the only neighborhood with several kiosks and there are virtually no signs to point you to different neighborhoods aside from German Village and the Arena District. Then where an area is labeled there's no way to find it unless you already know. For example, the little commerical stretch of Parsons in OTE has flags which read "Olde Towne Quarter", but nothing to lead you there. This is very amateurish. We should already have much better, i.e. existing, wayfinding signage.Log in to Reply
joev May 5, 2009 8:22 am at 8:22 am
I'll venture to guess that the reason for niche marketing of neighborhoods is that it's a whole lot less expensive and way more effective than blanketing everyone with your message. Very few products or services are marketed at an audience of "everyone."
The sign project is new – It's really nice, I think. I would expect it to expand as budgets allow. I'm sure everyone agrees that it would be nice to have the whole city signed now, but there is an economic reality underlying the whole thing.Log in to Reply

^^^Yes, the Hilltop is lacking in bike infrastructure.
Walker, while they didn't say they're not interested in other people buying in the neighborhood, everyone else was basically omitted. I just think making an urban area attractive will alone result in a more varied increase in all sorts of urban pioneers. Maybe that's the group they should be focusing on which includes YPs?
It's extremely important that some community-oriented businesses open up. I think that's why a coffeeshop or something similar out here is in such high demand, at least according to residents in Westgate on CU. Urban Spirit and Zanzibar provide spaces for building and strengthening their neighborhood and I couldn't imagine the KLD without them. Heck, a book store opened up next door to one of them, so it follows that a business that brings a positive vibe to a neighborhood can attract other businesses. Speaking of the 3100 block, that's the only option since it's the lone intact urban block. If they can make the most of that block, however, it could attract development, but the city already shot themselves in the foot by allowing sprawl which will take forever to redevelop into more urban storefronts and residences.Log in to Reply

There are serious challenges on the West Side, in Franklinton, Hilltop and other areas, but there are also more individuals energetically stepping up to deal with it than in many years. Some are new to the area and some are of the old school. That is the only way to reverse any trend… someone puts a stake in the ground and fights to improve their area. I'm pumped to see Tigertree and others making a difference, the City needs to play its role (especially with safety and fixing up W. Broad Street), and small businesses have to come. There is a market there of many families who have been under-retailed for years on basics and someone is going to figure out how to make a success off of that. I'm glad to see this much discussion going.Log in to Reply

I don't want to sound too negative about it, but looking at that map, I think that the area defined as "The Hilltop" is way too big for its own good. OTE has suffered a very slow revitalization process which is often blamed on its large size. Similarly, the Short North is a one-mile stretch of High Street that took 30 years to get to where it is. Does anyone else think that a revitalization effort that encompasses what looks like a 10% of the land mass inside 270 is a bit too much at once?
I wasn't able to attend the meeting on Wednesday, so I'm not sure if the idea is to break this project down into smaller sections, but I'd say that might be the way to go. Otherwise, I'm really not sure if a new coffee shop on Broad street is going to have that much of an impact on someone who lives off of Harrisburg Pike down around 270. Similarly, a house being renovated in one part of the area is hardly going to have any effect five miles away on someone else's street.Log in to Reply

Agreed, the Hilltop is huge. The buildings on Broad between Highland and Hague going towards Westgate was the primary focus of the meeting. Because I believe this section is just as far from downtown as the stretch between campus and the Short North.

There was no specific "project" outlined at this event. It was more of a history lesson about how the Short North came to be, and how the Hillltop can learn from that as we all think about what kind of district this could become and who it should be trying to attract. Cleve mainly focused on the Broad Street corridor just east of Hague and pointed out its striking resemblance to the Short North circa 1980. It was interesting to hear things about what people in that neighborhood thought would happen vs. what did.
The scale of the area was discussed, with some emphasis on the understanding that good stuff that happens in one Hilltop neighborhood is good for us all. Kumbayah.
That's some of what I got out of it, anyway.Log in to Reply

I assumed that area was the main focus, as it's most of what I've heard about so far. And I think it's a very good idea to start with a very small and very focused area (a few blocks). I guess I was just surprised to see that map posted because that area outlined is enormous. Just eyeballing it, it looks like the equivalent size of every thing bounded by 670 to the south, 71 to the east, North Broadway to the North, and 33 to the west, which would include everything from the Short North to OSU to Clintonville to Italian Village, Milo Grogan, Grandview, Upper Arlington, and everything in between.
With Valleyview and Westgate being smaller neighborhoods within the Greater Hilltop area, I'm wondering if some of the rest of the gray area could be broken down into more easily identifiable clusters and neighborhoods (if it hasn't been already – I'm not too familiar with some of the geography in some of that area).Log in to Reply

That is a big area, and parts of it really cannot be revitalized easily. Focusing on a small pocket, one block or two at a time is probably going to be the best scenario.Log in to Reply

The map I posted is just how the city of Columbus defines the Hilltop. A previous poster wasn't sure of the boundaries so I was just trying to clear up any confusion. In no way does that map represent anything disussed at Wednesdays meeting. The focus there was definitely on the buildings on Broad that resemble those from the Short North in the 70′s. I'll have to update the map to include the Highland Village, Wilshire Heights, and Great Western neighborhoods.Log in to Reply

It's true the Hilltop is huge. With 67,000 people, it's big enough to be the 11th largest city in Ohio. Its population density is 20 percent higher than the city as a whole. Well run retailers do very well on the Hilltop. They benefit from the density, lack of competition and low real estate costs. Ethnic businesses also are doing well, particularly on Sullivant Avenue, west of Hague. We really could use a new sit-down restaurant. The right concept done well could be a hit.Log in to Reply

Why blindly market Westgate to young creatives? The area is charming in a way that makes it appealing to the mainstream. "Young Creatives" are more likely to drawn to an area closer to downtown with a less suburban like atmosphere anyway. Besides, I don't know many young artists and designers who could afford any of the homes there. The young scrappy art types will probally end up in East Franklinton, the more established in Westgate and the rest inbetween.Log in to Reply

The Kneading Conference, held in Maine for the past several years, is fun and highly informative. Denyce and I skipped this summer's event but very much enjoyed the two prior years.
Now the food savvy Northwest has invited the Maine folks to help them organize the first Kneading Conference West which will take place in Mount Vernon, Washington, September 15th – 17th in the beautiful Skagit Valley.
The story of the Kneading Conference really begins with a few individuals who, recognizing that things were difficult and getting worse in their community, decided to do something about it. Like many of America's rural towns , in recent decades Skowhegan, Maine suffered from an exodus of Main Street businesses due to the success of chain store competitors and a lifestyle turned upside down by jobs shipped overseas. This group of KC visionaries (I came along later) knew that up until the 1850s their community and several surrounding counties produced 100% of the grains eaten by people and animals in the state of Maine. Why not bring back grain farming? As it turns out, many regions across the U.S. produced their own grains until cheap transportation (railroads and the Erie Canal) made the long growing season and fertility of the Midwestern soils abundantly available.
The stroke of genius of the conference founders was to realize that knocking on the doors of farmers and suggesting they add grain crops to their rotations was not going to work. The knowledge and necessary infrastructure had been lost eons ago. Instead, they would need to bring to the table a diversity of support: millers, wheat breeders, bakers, and eaters. From the ensuing exchange of ideas, experiences, and concerns, new relationships and new plans could emerge.
As it turns out, this was a great model for bringing back the wheat! In Maine, the Kneading Conference has become a successful incubator for baking enterprises, wheat farming, new grist mills, and most importantly, for the understanding among bakers, novice and professional, that nothing tastes better or offers more nutrition than whole grains, freshly ground, that taste of the land where they were grown. Now in its fifth year, the Maine Kneading Conference attracts people from around the U. S. and Canada and even Europe and, last year, New Zealand. It is a model of grassroots activism mixed with innovative entrepreneurialism that is gaining traction elsewhere.
All in all, what the Kneading Conference does best is inspire people to take pleasure in something as basic as bread and to think of it from its source – the seed planted in the soil – to its final delight – the bite! And to look around and think about whether grains might grow nearby. Something as foundational as grains can become a cornerstone for rebuilding communities and even for instilling a sense of community.
Both websites have more information, the keynote speakers and presenters and schedules, and on the Kneading Conference (Maine) website, articles, photos, and videos, that describe the experience.

HPSC based therapy for HIV disease using RNAi to CCR5.
RNA interference is a naturally occurring means to block the function of genes in our body. We propose that RNA interference can be used to block HIV-1 infection and its reproduction within the body. When RNA interference is introduced into a stem cell, its blocking activity will be present throughout the lifetime of the stem cell, theoretically the lifespan of a human being. Thus, in theory an effective stem cell RNA interference therapy will require only a single treatment as opposed to the current lifetime administration of anti-HIV-1 drugs often accompanied by serious side effects. In nature, some individuals carry a genetic mutation that renders them resistant to HIV-1 infection. This mutation prevents HIV-1 from attaching to the white blood cells. Our RNA interference approach will be to mimic this natural situation by blocking the activity of this "co-receptor" within infected individuals by creating a new blood system that carries the RNA interference therapy. This therapy will be developed as a combination with other gene therapeutic reagents to protect the new blood system from HIV infection.
The need for novel approaches to the treatment of HIV infection has never been greater, because new infections continue to occur at undiminished rates, in California and across the nation, despite decades of prevention efforts. Moreover, the number of people living with HIV is rising steadily, thanks to improved management of HIV infection. As a result, California, which ranks second in the nation in diagnosed cases of HIV infection, behind only New York, has identified 67,500 men, women, and children who carry the virus. (Estimates of the number of Californians who are infected but have yet to be diagnosed range as high as 33,513.) Not all of the state's HIV-positive residents are currently on therapy, but eventually virtually all of them will be—and many of them will receive their drugs through government-supported programs. In addition, the longer these infected individuals live, the more likely they are to avail themselves of a range of support services that the state pays for. The drugs themselves, which are routinely administered in combination, are initially effective in suppressing viral replication in infected individuals, but their potency diminishes over time, even as the toxic effects of therapy accumulate.
California, which is supporting the nation's second-highest case-load of HIV-positive individuals, can expect to see that number grow at a rate of 5,000-7,000 a year for the foreseeable future. The cost of providing life-sustaining medications and social services to this burgeoning population will also continue to rise, not arithmetically but exponentially—because as increasing numbers of infected individuals fail standard drug regimens, it will be necessary to shift them to newer, more expensive treatments, and as the side effects of therapy become more manifest, it will be necessary to prescribe drugs to combat those toxicities, adding to the overall drug burden for patients and the overall cost of drug therapy for the state.
In such circumstances, the prospect of stem-cell based therapy that will require "only a single treatment" is especially compelling. In theory, RNA interference might effectively cure individuals infected with HIV, by blocking the ports through which the virus enters CD4 cells and destroys the body's immune system. And even if RNA interference proves only partially effective in blocking viral entry, it could significantly suppress viremia while sparing patients the toxicities associated with drug therapy. This would be a boon to infected individuals, but it would also be a benefit to uninfected Californians, because reductions in viremia in infected individuals translate into a reduction in the community burden of HIV infection—and that, in turn, reduces the overall rate of new infections statewide.
Our overall goal is to file an IND within 4 years for a hematopoietic stem cell based genetic therapy for HIV-1 disease. The concept is that introducing anti-HIV gene therapeutics into hematopoietic stem cells will produce a protected population of T lymphocytes and monocyte/macrophages (the cells specifically infected by HIV) in individuals to decrease viral load and maintain stable T lymphocyte counts. Hemapoietic stem cells are unique in that they are multipotent stem cells that give rise to all the types of blood cells, including T cells and monocytes/macrophages. During the first year we have met each of our key milestones and made significant progress in identifying and testing genetic reagents combined in the context of a lentiviral vector for stable delivery into hematopoietic stem cells. The vector candidates include combinations of gene therapeutics aimed at different stages of HIV replication namely: i) binding to the CCR5 HIV co-receptor (RNA interference to down-regulate CCR5), ii) fusion of the HIV virion to the cell surface (fusion inhibitor), iii) a restriction factor inhibiting translocation of the HIV genomic material from the cell surface to the nucleus (restriction factor) and, iv) inhibition of HIV expression within the cell (RNA interference directed to a key portion of HIV that drives its expression). We are presently identifying the optimal combination and vector/target ratio. We have also tested several reagents designed to increase transduction efficiency of hematopoietic stem cells and have validated assays to examine potential toxicity including genotoxicity of therapeutic vectors. Thus far, we have not seen any general vector-induced toxicity. In order for this gene transfer to be applied to patients, the hemapoietic progenitor stem cell transduction must be scaled up significantly. Experiments are currently in progress maximizing transduction of hemapoietic progenitor stem cells at sufficiently high cell numbers for future therapeutic analysis.
HIV-1 therapy requires combinations of reagents in order to effectively suppress HIV-1 replication. We have created several combinations of anti-HIV reagents through genetic engineering, which will eventually be delivered to humans through adult blood stem cells. We have compared the effectiveness and safety of these genetic "vectors" in cell culture and in an advanced mouse model, which allows human blood cells to grow in tissues. In addition, this mouse model allows one to investigate HIV-1 infection within the animals. Through these tests, we narrowed combinations down to those that seem to be the most effective based upon showing no toxicity and possessing the ability to be maintained within human blood cells in the mouse, and resist multiple strains of HIV-1 infection both in cell culture and in the humanized mice.

quote from the comments
"The point is that it is dishonest to pretend that the Crusades count against theism but that Stalin doesn't count against atheism. But what you fail to realize the reason they killed people was their dogmatic belief in things like communism and the fact that they were totalitarian governments. So it really was caused by atheism because atheism is the lack of faith in a deities or the supernatural."
It seems a lot like he is trying to equate communism to atheism, which would automatically nullify his point in my book.
In any case Stalin doesn't count against atheism (correct me if I'm wrong I may well be) because he was not trying to spread atheism.
I took a vicodin for the pain in my incision and I am feeling really trippy. Maybe I am totally misguided and not thinking clearly. Am I even making sense?

Shaquille O'Neal practiced on both Thursday and Friday but there is still no definitive timetable for his return.
"Maybe (game) one, maybe two but I do think he'll play," said coach Doc Rivers. "I guess he's done some stuff with (trainer) Eddie (Lacerte). Eddie's more confident that he'll play." This is a positive update, but as usual Celtics' fans are left in a holding pattern as we await Shaq's postseason debut.

MOSCOW (AP) -- Russia's Federal Migration Service confirms that it's received a request for temporary asylum from National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden. The agency says it will review the request within three months.
A Russian lawyer, Anatoly Kucherena, says said Snowden made the move following their meeting at Moscow's Sheremetyevo airport.
Snowden has been stuck in Sheremetyevo's transit zone since he arrived from Hong Kong on June 23. He said Friday at a meeting with Russian rights activists and public figures that he would seek at least temporary refuge in Russia until he could fly to one of the Latin American nations that have offered him asylum.

Yeast Infection of the Breast
|Related Pages
I'm loosing my mind with the never ending yeast infection. I've been always very prone to have them, then with each pregnancy (2) had them the whole 9 months very bad, and I nurse both my kids, for over a year, with the first one I got the infection on my nipples around 8m and was able to clear it (almost). With my second one I got it at the second week postpartum and even I was most of that nursing year (YES I was very determined) on some sort of medication I had to wean my kid, because the yeast infection wasn't healing. Now 6 months after that I've been improving, but the thing is still living on my nipples and some times extending to my breast. Some times it gets better but then again the infection comes back.
All these under the care of my gynecologist. This time around she said, she doesn't know what else to do, but give me the max dose of tolerance for my liver? WHAT? of Diflucan to SEE if that will fix the problem.
So here I am not sure if to go on Diflucan for the 6th time of this past year, I got scared of that stament. I asked if diet will help, and she just said not that much sugar and lots of yogurt, with i do and and do not eat much sugar, Please if you found a NATURAL remedy, I tried gentian Violet, Diflucan in very different doses , nistatin liquid and Cream, and nothing is getting me out of this night mare, I make my self eat yogurt I even make my own with the actual bacteria, I'm so sick of it, and do very little sugar on my diet, but I eat lots of bread and cheese. Other than that i have a very healthy diet. PLEASE HELP, I want to try something else before going on drugs again. anon of couse
What I did was a completely gluten/sugar and dairy-free diet for this 6-month period to starve out the yeast. To get my probiotics I used the supplements instead of yogurt. Basically, I ate a lot of brown rice and vegetables, nuts, and gluten free products. I also avoided most fruit for the first couple months because the yeast love the sugar in the fruit.
If bread and cheese are staples for you, it will be a challenge, but it is soooo worth it to be free of this imbalance. Then, slowly you can add foods back into your diet in moderation and see how you feel. There are many good resources for gluten and dairy free diets. I referred to a book called ''Healing with Whole Foods'', but I am sure that if you google or go to your local health food store or book store, you will find plenty of resources. My journey of healing from this led me to become a holistic health practitioner, specializing in yoga, massage, and essential oil medicine. I would be happy to answer any questions you might have. There are many essential oils that are highly effective against yeast overgrowth. Good luck! Nicole
Hello, I am mom to a 5 week old boy and am pretty sure I have a yeast infection in my breasts...it feels similar to what I had once with my first child (burning nipples, deep shooting pains in my breasts during letdown). There are no signs of thrush in my child's mouth although he does have a persistent diaper rash. After unsuccessfuly trying topical antifungals with my first child (also no signs of thrush in her mouth), I used gentian violet and it worked like a charm. Such relief! However, now I read online that a study in Australia has linked the use of gentian violet with cancer in lab rats and it's only recommended as a last line of treatment when all others have failed. Does anybody know anything about this? I am going to see a new ob for my 6 week check up and I'm trying to figure out whether or not I want to try the topical route again. Also, I never tried the oral antifungals...are they a good alternative to gentian violet? I just don't want to have ongoing pain through months of fruitless treatment, which it seems isn't uncommon when it comes to this particular ailment. Thanks in advance for any advice! Ouch
I am suffering from what I think is a yeast infection on my nipples. My 3 wk old doesn't have signs of thrush but my nipples are very red, sore and sting. It has become quite painful to breastfeed. Has anything worked for others out there? I am applying over the counter yeast anti fungal to them but it doesn't seem to be working. Any suggestions? Needing relief!
Then someone told me to do a round of Gentian Violet, which I guess is the old school remedy for thrush. I looked everywhere and finally found it at Elephant Pharmacy in Berkeley. The first time, I didn't do it the full dose so the yeast came back (only applied once). The second time, I did it exactly like the directions said and it worked (apply 1-2 times per day). The Violet is a staining agent however, so you will have it every where. Wear old clothes/bra and put stained clothes on your baby. One of my favorite photos is my son with a round purple stain around his mouth from nursing. Hilarious!
I'll add that the yeast does come back every 3 months or so. It got so bad that I had to have my nipple lanced on Christmas Eve (oh joy) because it was so painful. I saved the clothes that I wore and I use older clothes for my son for when I do the Violet. It seems to be occuring less but I just noticed that little white mark on Monday so am watching it carefully. We are still nursing about 50% so that is probably why it is decreasing.
BTW, we have Kaiser and I see Ann Johnson who is a RN at Oakland. She is supposed to be an ''expert'' in the field. She was on vacation when I went in once and the Doctor looked at me like he had no idea what to do. I did not want to do any Diflucam because I was nervous about what it would do to my son. And I wasn't ready to pump/dump. She assured me that it was fine and that really cleared it up. Only did that once, however, because I'm still nervous.
Good luck and take deep breaths. I feel your pain. DiAnn
Does anyone have experience with curing a ductal yeast infection of the breast without diflucan? i broke out in a rash and might be allergic, but the ob didn't prescribe anything else. she said just wait but the pain is unbearable at times and i am getting very discouraged. i am cutting down on sugar, cheese, and carbs, and taking acidophilis, yogurt, garlic tabs/ echinacea, vit.c, b-complex and lecithin. will try gentian violet soon even though most of my pain/irritation is internal, and baby does not show symptoms. he is a big spitter though, like his older sister (with whom i had no yeast problems) and seems more gassy and irritated by feeding and digesting. (he is 4 weeks old.) i had plugged ducts and then mastitis in the same breast, and everything started with very sore nipples and engorgement. if you have any experience to share with me, please contact me.
Today, the rash ''travels'' around my torse. It shows up (itches like crazy, I scratch like crazy which I know I am not suppose to do) and as it heals, a new patch of rash shows up a few inches away. Does any of this sound familiar?
Regarding your current condition, you sound like you are doing all the dietary things I would do. I did hear that butter milk has a high acidophilus level, but no idea how it tastes. I hope you find relieve and recover soon. Mary
Hi- I have been suffering from a yeast infection in my breasts since my baby was about a week old (she's just 2 months old now). I have taken and am still taking acidophilus, eating yogurt and taking a prescription for diflucan. I have also used nystatin topically. My baby has not had thrush but I am still plagued by itching, burning, painful nipples and breasts. I have been on the verge of abondoning breast feeding but have pumped and am toughing it out. It has gotten better but not totally. I was wondering if anyone out there has been in this situation and has any other natural recommendations. Oh- I have accepted that I simply am not willing to do all the dietary restrictions-with a new baby it is hard enough to make food for myself I won't give up wheat products. H E L P.... Marion
The Gentian Violet is available at drug stores (I got mine at Longs). It's behind the counter, but you don't need a prescription. You should use the 1% topical. They may have to order it for you. It only costs a few dollars.
Also be sure to sterilize everything that is touching your breasts and the baby's mouth (bottles, pumps, pacifiers, bras, pads, etc.). I just washed my bras with a bit of bleach, but others I know preferred to boil them and let them dry in the sun, which also worked.
Feel free to contact me with questions. Good luck!
Gentian Violet works well to get rid of yeast and can be applied to the nipple area and swabed in the baby's mouth. I would have your pediatrician check the baby for thrush. She probably has it or you wouldn't be having such a hard time getting rid of it. It's VERY HARD to see if it is almost resolved in the baby's mouth. Gentian Violet works FAST (you'd need to apply three times per day to both of you for 3 days). You can find it in the homeopathic section at Longs. It's a purple liquid (kind of like iodine) and it stains everything, but it is the quickest way to get rid of it.
Because I have accepted that this won't go away completely until she finishes nursing, I use Lotrimon AF on my nipples at least once everyday becasue Gentian Violet is so messy. If I skip a day, I experience the same symptoms as you do.
Around 8 months after the birth, I developed a sudden severe case of mastitis, and agreed to use an antibiotic again. The antibiotic actually cleared the mastitis quickly, AND cleared the nipple pain for good. It must have been a low grade infection all along. Just goes to show there is definitely a time and place for each of these Western Medical interventions. My tendancy is to avoid such treatments.
My daughter is now 21 months old, and loves breastfeeding still. We enjoy wonderful bonded time together, playing many silly games while nursing, and just cuddling. The experience made me understand why so many women give up breastfeeding. I think I was a bit judgemental toward such decisions prior to our ordeal. I am so glad, though, that I gritted my teeth through the whole time, and did not give up. There had been so many times that I would sit there with tears running down my face, trying not to stomp my feet, wanting to scream, and feeling very sad and disappointed that nursing did not feel like the archetypical wonderful experience it was cracked up to be.
My advice is to not give up. If all of the thrush treatments, positioning, cleaning techniques, diet changes do not help, possibley consider whether it could be a low grade infection. Good luck. Hang in there!
-No longer sore, and enjoying breastfeeding!
