Isn't that a bit of 'shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted' ? The comment you have over-reacted to was perfectly acceptable, just a gently amusing play on the situation Jodie described and the fact that there's a dog in 'Oliver'. Choose a post that is actually offensive or place a message on the welcome page to discuss conduct if need be. There are plenty of them on here, non of which have had any moderator attention or intervention. I really think you could have found somewhere a bit better to draw your line in the sand Jenny_tyr, sorry.
^^ Totally agree

iOS allows you to set not only your default calendar, but the default alert time and sync period as well. Having good defaults can make it much faster to add new events and appointments, especially if you often add events to the same calendar, and with the same alert requirements. You can also set how far back your iPhone and iPad will sync those appointments and events, so you can keep handy just your most recent entries, or entries going back for months. You can toggle automatic time zone shifting, and even turn off invitation alerts if you need a little less notification in your life.
To re-enable new invitation alerts, simply repeat the procedure and toggle the setting back to ON.
By default, your iPhone or iPad will automatically change time zones and assume your events should change as well. Say you fly from New York to Las Vegas. Your Calendar app will automatically change to the given time zone which means an alert set at 9:30am will go off at that time in the new time zone, not your home time zone.
If you don't like this behavior, you can easily change this setting within your iPhone or iPad's settings panel.
By default, your iPhone or iPad will only sync so many events. If you need to be able to access events and appointments in the past for reference at any given time, you may want your calendar to always store all your events. If you don't tend to look back at past events, a shorter time period is a better option.
Alert times are when your calendar alerts you that you have an upcoming event or appointment. You can easily change the setting for when your Calendar app on your iPhone or iPad will alert you of an event.
If you create a lot of events in one particular calendar on your iPhone or iPad, it can be beneficial to set that calendar as your default one. For most users, this will probably be their work calendar but regardless, the calendar you use most should be your default.
I had to abandon the apple built in calender a couple months ago because it stopped syncing
between my iPhone , 3 iPads and desktop.
After a lot of searching and testing, I found Calenders and google calender not only worked GREAT but sync almost instantaneous.
I haven't found anything better than the stock/native iOS Calendar app. All then fancy third-party apps don't get the one feature I must have: the visual-spacial representation of the events throughout the day (the "Day" view). Unbelievable. And even if they did, I still don't see any big advantage to any of them. Go figure.
For me the default iphone Calendar app is also the best solution. I only use third-party apps to help me edit the Calendar app on my computer as I find the iPhone screen too small to do any advanced editions - iPad is fine though. Here is what I use to edit the events on my iphone:
I have two iPhone synced to the same tunes account which I wanted to do. On my husbands calendar I have deselected my work calendar, but he still revived an alert reminder from it. Any advice?

Product Information
The Noveske NSR Handguard is the smallest, lightest customizable handguard available for the AR-15. The bare handguard without any additional rail sections mounted is only 1.48" in width. The continuous top rail allows you to mount iron sights, optics and any other accessories without additional rail sections. The KeyMod system allows users to customize the handguard with rail sections and direct mount accessories. The handguard is constructed of aircraft aluminum and finished with a Mil-Spec hard coat black anodizing. The handguard is secured to a steel barrel nut with 4 T25 Torx fasteners. Installation requires a 1-1/6" crows foot wrench (not included) for the barrel nut; standard AR-15 barrel nut wrenches will not work with this handguard system. The NSR will work with Heavy Profile barrels and a maximum size of .875" diameter low profile gas blocks when located under the handguard. SwitchBlock equipped barrels will work, when the gas block location is outside of the handguard. This is rail system is not compatible with gas piston conversions. The KeyMod accessories are easy to install from the outside of the rail. The system uses captured hardware so the accessory can be installed with a turn of a wrench, no more fishing backer plates down a forend or completely removing the handguard system to install or adjust rail sections and accessories as is common with other modular rail systems. The KeyMod rail sections have integrated recoil lugs and a v-block design which help properly align the rail sections and ensure that recoil forces and stress do not sheer the attachment screws. This attachment system is much stronger than most customizable systems on the market. KeyMod rail sections and accessories are not included with the handguard and must be purchased separately. Technical Information:
- Material: Hard Coat Anodized Aluminum Handugard, Steel Barrel Nut
- 1913 Picatinny Continuous Top Rail
- Accepts KeyMod Rail Sections & Accessories (not included)

September has been a cruel, frightening month for the Rangers and Rays, who held their ground in a terrific series last week at Tropicana Field. But all of the angst could wash away easily in October.
Since spring training, the Rays and Rangers have viewed themselves as playoff teams. They're in for a fight this week to hold off the Indians and Orioles in the wild-card race, and the Rays and Rangers are asking for trouble after stretches in which they have gone 9-16 and 4-13, respectively.
Yet here's a surprising reality: No matter how bleak things look, they still could be positioned nicely if they just hang in there to land a spot in that precarious one-game wild-card elimination game.
- Bio | E-mail | Recent columns
You wouldn't want to try to sell this idea on the streets of Dallas-Fort Worth, as Rangers fans have nightmares about the wild-card loss to the Orioles that ended dreams of a third straight trip to the World Series. But as much effort as teams put into the attempt to manufacture postseason success, the reality is that crazy, unexpected things happen in October.
Look no further than the Cardinals teams that played their way to World Series parades in 2006 and '11 after finishing the regular season ranked fifth and fourth in the National League in wins. They were able to win because they were good teams and they did not get in their own way.
They played free and easy, the way the Rangers did in wiping out a stronger Rays team in the first round of the 2010 playoffs, not the way the Rangers did when it mattered most at Busch Stadium in Games 6 and 7 of the '11 World Series.
It is really, really tough to win it all when anything less is failure. That's the reality against which the Tigers battle in their quest to reward owner Mike Ilitch with a Commissioner's Trophy to go alongside his four Stanley Cups.
You will hear a lot of talk about home-field advantage this week, but playoff series take on a life of their own. Remember how last year's World Series swung wildly when Pablo Sandoval and the Giants hammered Justin Verlander in Game 1?
That team was playing free and easy, and that's tough to do when you are the team everyone expects to win. It has been 14 years since we had a World Series involving teams that both led their leagues in regular-season wins.
In the 18 years that MLB has used a wild-card format, the teams that led their league in wins have only a modest 40-31 record in playoff series. They have won the World Series six times while being eliminated in their opening series 14 times — with the most recent victims being last year's Nationals, the 2011 Yankees and Phillies and the Rays in '10.
If the Rangers had won 90-something games, as most expected, manager Ron Washington would not be worried about losing his job. But the lack of expectations could turn into a good thing, provided they grind out enough victories against the Astros and Angels to grab one of the American League's two wild-card spots.
The Rangers had lost seven in a row before beating the Rays on Tuesday, and they didn't lead in any of those games. Things got bad enough that general manager Jon Daniels felt it necessary to give Washington one of those dreaded votes of confidence.
"My full expectation is he will be back," Daniels said. "And my expectation is that I will be back too. I've always viewed (Washington) as more of a partner than anything else, and I expect that partnership will continue next year."
Before October is over, the two could be conquering heroes again, like they were before everyone started taking them so seriously.
Turning up the volume: A.J. Burnett was the Pirates' ace a year ago, and Francisco Liriano and little lefty Jeff Locke have stepped up to fill that need for most of this season. But rookie Gerrit Cole is making his case to be the Game 1 starter when the playoffs roll around.
Cole, who pitches Tuesday at Wrigley Field, has won his last three starts, allowing only two runs in 20 innings against the Rangers, Cubs and Padres. He has struck out 28 and walked six in those starts, including a 12-strikeout outing Thursday against the Padres. It was the most strikeouts for a Pirates rookie since Jose DeLeon fanned 13 Reds in 1983.
"He continues to evolve as a pitcher — I mean, he threw me changeup, slider, curve, everything, fastball away, fastball in,'' Padres catcher Nick Hundley said. "Anytime a guy with that type of stuff starts to pitch that way, yeah, the sky is the limit for a guy like that."
Cole was the first overall pick in the 2011 draft. He agrees that he is gaining confidence, especially with his command.
Manager Clint Hurdle is set to pick between Cole and Liriano for either a one-game playoff to determine the NL Central champ or the first game of the playoffs, which could be in the one-game elimination round. Cole, who just turned 23, takes a workload of 1791/3 innings into Tuesday's start against the Cubs, but there has been little talk about limiting his innings.
Have a seat: It took only two hours for the A's to sell out the Coliseum's lower two levels for the AL Division Series, after which they began selling upper-deck tickets. That means the tarps that were in place last October are coming off, increasing the stadium's capacity from 35,067 to 48,146. The center-field tarps atop seats added when the Raiders returned — the so-called Mount Davis seats — will remain.

Hoeness: Sammer is strong-minded
Bayern Munich president Uli Hoeness has tried to brush over a disagreement between his side's coach Jupp Heynckes and director of sport Matthias Sammer.
Sammer lost his temper after Bayern's 2-0 win over Werder Bremen last weekend, criticising the team's performance for 80 minutes of a game which was won in the last 10 minutes.
The tone he used was not to Heynckes' liking and he insinuated that Sammer had gone too far with his criticism.
Internal friction has been mentioned as a possible cause for their midweek Champions League loss, but Hoeness says he will not condemn Sammer's actions.
"If everybody goes to sleep, we won't win anything," he said. "Good performances only come from friction.
"This is always going to be a problem when you have a strong-minded director of sport, which we now have, fortunately - there are always going to be differences of opinion.
"When you are a bit sensitive, like Jupp is sometimes, then of course it can cause a stir, but I would not get worked up about it."
Hoeness appears to take Sammer's side in the argument, which both parties have declared will not have any repercussions.
He told Munich's Tz and Az newspapers that it "is Sammer's job to put the gloves on now and again".
He added: "That is what I did for 30 years. He is on the same level as Heynckes."
Hoffenheim may just be the right opponents for Bayern to level their record for consecutive wins at the start of the season tomorrow [Saturday], having beaten Markus Babbel's side 7-1 last season.
Babbel does not have the best of records in Munich as a coach, losing 4-0 with his former club Hertha Berlin last season.
Furthermore, Hoffenheim have never managed to beat Bayern in eight attempts.
However, their primary concern remains the health of midfielder Boris Vukcevic, who was involved in a car accident last week and is still in a coma.
"It is not easy to prepare for a Bundesliga game in these conditions, but we have got to try to prepare as usual," said Babbel.

Seattle Sister Cities Annual Report 2007
2007 marked a year of great celebration for the Seattle-Beer Sheva Sister City Association in connection with the group's inclusion as one of the four featured sister cities at the Annual Sister Cities Reception in April 2007. Activities surrounding this milestone event included the following:
In addition to the event, two ongoing projects occupied the committee's time during 2007: initial planning for a trip to Beer Sheva in 2009 as an adjunct to the Seattle Chamber of Commerce Trade Study Mission to Abu Dhabi and Dubai; and a Computerized Chess tournament between Seattle's TT Minor Elementary and an elementary school in Beer Sheva to be held in Spring of 2008.
40th Anniversary. In 2007 the Seattle-Bergen Sister City Association celebrated its 40th Anniversary. The event welcomed a number of special guests, such as Deputy Mayor and Director of Education of Bergen.
High school exchange program. The Association continued their high school exchange program, sending several Seattle Schools teachers for a month stay and Seattle high school students for a 10 week stay in Bergen. In exchange, Seattle received 26 high school students and a teacher from its sister city.
Other cultural activities. The year was also filled with cultural activities and performances, such as annual Julebord dinner, young piano students' recital, and Sissel of Saul theater group's performances.
"Pacific Voices." In January, the Burke Museum installed the "Pacific Voices" exhibit presenting the Icon Patron Saint of Cebu and its history, which is still on display to date. The exhibit's installation was followed by the celebration at Immaculate Conception Parish and St. James Cathedral.
Trip to Cebu. Vice President of the Seattle-Cebu Sister City, Henry Alazas, and a small group of Board members visited Cebu in April of 2007. Among other cultural events, was the 3rd Annual Ambassador Tour to the Philippines, sponsored by the Philippines' Consul, Department of Tourism, and Department of Trade and Industry.
During 2007 the Seattle-Chongqing Sister City hosted 2 delegations, including Chongqing Social Security Bureau officials and Chongqing Media and Broadcasting Group. The first delegation had various interests, which included social security practices and exchange programs.
The high school exchange program. A group of students from Nankai High School visited Seattle in September.
Visiting scholar program. The program was initiated and successfully welcomed its first visiting scholar from the Chongqing University of Science and Technology, Ms. Wentao Chen, who will be starting her study and research at Seattle University and Antioch University this fall.
New exchange programs were initiated in 2007, including:

2007 was another extraordinary year for the Association, with many important events and projects. New Zealand Prime Minister Helen Clark visited Seattle in March and Trade Minister Phil Goff visited Seattle in November. The Association received the "Best Overall Program" award. Below is a summary of the Association's activities in chronological order:
Visit by the Prime Minister. New Zealand Prime Minister Helen Clark visited Seattle in March after brief visits to Washington, DC, and Chicago. She addressed Association's members at a reception hosted by New Zealand Ambassador to the United States, Roy Ferguson. Her speech concentrated on steps New Zealand is taking to reduce human contribution to global warming. She emphasized the importance of the relationship between New Zealand and the State of Washington because of many common concerns.
Reception and "Best Overall Program" Award. The Seattle-Christchurch Sister City Association received the award for the Best Program in 2007.
Seattle International Film Festival. The Association sponsored a Seattle International Film Festival (SIFF) presentation of Eagle vs. Shark by a New Zealand film producer Taika Waititi. The Association attended a screening of the film and hosted a reception for its producer.

Jake Shields Discusses The Skrap Pack, American Jiu-Jitsu, and UFC Middleweight Title Contention
While the transition to fighting came easy for Jake Shields, his road to the top of the sport was anything but. For over ten years, Jake fought around the world in various mixed martial arts promotions and competed in hundreds of grappling tournaments, before finally signing with the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
While he has dealt with an immense amount of adversity to get to this level of the sport - being broke, not having insurance, and raising a daughter as a single father - he has attributed his ability to succeed and overcome these obstacles to the strength and loyalty of his team around him.
It is commonplace in mixed martial arts for fighters to switch gyms and change affiliations between fight camps, but Shields and his teammates at Caesar Gracie Jiu-Jitsu have remained devoutly loyal to one and other over the years. The "skrap pack" which consists of Shields, UFC fighters Nick and Nate Diaz, and Strikeforce lightweight champion Gilbert Melendez, is arguably the most successful fight team in MMA today.
Jake attributes the diverse styles and contrasting skill sets each of them brings to the table to the high level of success his teammates have each had individually in the sport.
"I think it helps a lot, because we do all have very different styles. We are able to push each other, and we prepare each other to fight guys with different styles. We train together all the time, and we have all managed to adapt our own styles, and I think it just shows that we are all are own people, and that is why we are such a great team."
The Power of American Jiu-Jitsu
Shields forearm is covered with a tattoo depicting an eagle clutching the Great Seal of the United States and a banner which reads "American jiu-jitsu." This tattoo is bearing homage to his particular brand of martial arts that was developed through his years of sparring with the team.
"American jiu-jitsu is my brand of grappling," said Shields. "Originally, I was an all-American wrestler, collegiate style, and then I got my black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu. Both are phenomenal styles of grappling, but I try to blend the two together. I never used a gi in jiu-jitsu, so American jiu-jitsu is kind of just blending the two together. It's aggressive and constantly attacking like wrestling, but a little more technical and relaxed like Brazilian jiu-jitsu."
Shields has proven the efficiency of his American jiu-jitsu by submitting opponents on the largest stages of mixed martial arts, and defeating numerous world-ranked grapplers in jiu-jitsu competition, but the martial arts community has not always been embracing of Jake's unique style.
Jake won the 2005 Pan American jiu-jitsu tournament in a gi with basically never having trained in one prior to the tournament. Many fans view this accomplishment as one of Jake's greatest, but when asked about his gold medal, Jake shrugs it off, recalling the criticism he endured in order to earn it.
"Caesar Gracie gave me my belt, and a lot of people were saying, 'Oh you can't possibly be belted without ever having trained in a gi.' So I wanted to prove all the haters wrong. I went into the tournament and tapped out and beat a lot of the best guys in the world just to prove a point."
His point has certainly been proven, as Shields now bolsters one of the most impressive resumes in submission grappling, including victories over Jon Fitch, Vinny Magalhaes, and Diego Sanchez.
Shields only sees more to come from Caesar Gracie Jiu-Jitsu in the future, and hopes that some of his less-publicized teammates will be given the spotlight as well.
"We have a lot of guys to look out for. Josh McDonald is a very tough guy. There is a lot of great up and comers, and hopefully some of these guys will break out. Me, Nate, Nick, and Gil, have really been the ones to make a name for our team, but hopefully in the next year or so, some of these other guys will be able to get out there and do the same as well.
Shining Moment of Career
While Shields has reached great heights in the sport, it is hard for him to nail-down an exact moment or achievement as his favorite.
"It's hard to say because I have had a lot of good moments. Winning the Shooto belt in Japan was quite an accomplishment, because that was before I was a big name. I won the Elite XC belt. I won the Rumble on the Rocks tournament, and that was a completely stacked tournament. Even guys like Anderson Silva were involved in that, so that really means a lot to me."
Along with the glory of victory, the Rumble on the Rocks tournament brings on a humorous memory for Shields. After defeating current UFC interim welterweight champion Carlos Condit, Shields advanced to the finals to take on the world-ranked Yushin Okami. This was all in the same night, mind you.
Earlier in the night, Shields had told the DJ he would like some "old punk or metal music" to be played during his entrance. As he was getting pumped up and poised to make his walk-out, he was thrown for a loop as "All the Small Things" by Blink 182 came out of the speakers. Shields became furious, and almost did not even want to walk out.
Good thing he did, as he would go on to defeat Okami and be crowed the tournament champion. Defeating two top-ten fighters in a single night, with both fights going the distance, is an amazing feat in this sport, and one certainly worth enduring a less than desirable entrance song for.
Shields now laughs looking back on the escapade, saying, "Nothing against Blink, they're okay and all, just not exactly what I would look at as old punk music. I had asked for old punk or metal, and they were definitely not what I was looking for, but, oh well, I guess I definitely learned I have to be a little bit more specific about punk music."
While on the subject of music, Shields mentions that he enjoys an eclectic variety of artists, and cites several from his native California as being some of his favorites. "I listen to a huge variety of music. Lars Frederickson and the Bastards and Rancid are some of my favorite bands. I listen to other stuff as well; I listen to some reggae, Sublime, you know I switch it up, really it just depends on my mood."
UFC Title Hopes
While Jake has accomplished many things and won many world championships, he is still in pursuit of his ultimate goal: a UFC world championship belt. "Capturing the UFC belt has always been my dream, so I am still after that." However, he knows that to accomplish that goal, it is imperative for him to be focused on the current task at hand.
"First getting through Ed Herman, and then I would like to get another fight this year for sure. After Ed Herman, I would like to fight one of the top contenders; I don't really care who, I just want to get back into title contention again."
As Jake Shields prepares for his next run for championship gold, the competitive fire inside him burns stronger than ever. At thirty-three years old, and after over thirteen years in the sport, Shields has amassed a record of 27-6-1 and defeated some of the sport's biggest names.
While many competitors would be content to call it a day, Shields will not be satisfied until he fulfills his goal of becoming a UFC world champion. Even then, it is unlikely that he will be itching for retirement, because as long as haters keep hating, Shields will continue to find the motivation to prove them wrong.

Beneath the curved brim of DJ George Garcia's beige hat and above his modestly low-cut t-shirt and half-zipped coat beams something that you can see plain as day from the dance floor of any club as you peer towards the DJ booth, or even in a low-key conversation here in the Joonbug offices: A smile. "You'll never not see a smile on my face," he boasts. "That's how I was raised."
Coming from a boisterous Spanish family and background, Garcia has always been involved in parties and family gatherings, and, frankly, always around a crowd of people. "I plug in my music and my dad jumps up and starts dancing and grabbing people out of the crowd," he explained about a family gathering, which usually turns "from dinners to parties" fairly quickly. His upbringing, too, led him to experience all types of music, from Spanish to Greek to heavily drum-influenced tunes, which, in turn, allowed him to pick up the snare drum in the high school band.
Soccer was Garcia's premiere passion throughout high school and into the early part of college, though, where he enrolled at George Washington University in Washington D.C. He was even accepted onto the Red Bull Youth Academy at Seton Hall. But after four months without being bumped up to the A-team, he hung up his cleats and returned to George Washington to continue his education. He also started projecting his musical talents onto the public. "Once soccer stopped, one door closed and another door opened," Garcia told me about DJing in D.C. "Since that day it's been non-stop."
And he's not exaggerating.
A year and a half ago, Garcia started performing at friends' parties and grungy places in D.C. and parts of New York City. Since then, he has gone from a no-named, college-student, wanna-be-DJ to having consistent performances at top-notch clubs and venues in D.C. and Manhattan such as Juliet, Tenjune, Marquee, Greenhouse and La Zarza. He has also recently ventured out to Michigan and Indiana, and is planning the Dominican Republic for Spring Break. Acapulco and Barcelona are in the works, too. "It's all about progression," Garcia explained. "It's about appreciation and listening what other DJs are doing. I'm the kid in the club with the backpack on and just listening. I listen and appreciate their stuff and I try to progress it and put my own spin on that."
He also spun at the Playboy Swimwear Fashion Show in D.C., via his relationship with Kstreet nightclub. "The most fun part of the night was when I had three playmates come into the DJ booth and be like, 'We love what you do!' That's the best part. Having people appreciate what you do. It's all about having a good time."
Although being a DJ can go to some performers' heads, Garcia's feet are grounded: "Right now is a very exciting time for me, and I welcome all these new opportunities, but I majored in Finance and International Business with a minor in Economics...for something. I'm not going to DJ for my entire life. I'm not letting this DJ stuff get to my head."
For the moment though, at 22, Garcia has one goal in mind: "I'm doing this very everyone to have fun.[DJing is] very spur of the moment," he explained, his hands out, as if on turn tables in front of him. "It all depends on who's in front of you in a club, and if you can't be spontaneous, it just won't work. When I'm DJing and I don't see people moving, that's a problem. I need to see hands in the air, people dancing, people hooking up. Whatever!"
"That my biggest influence…the energy," he continued, closing his eyes, smiling. "I'm very passionate about what I do. If you ever see me play, I'm dripping with sweat."

Memory and history have been Penelope Lively's terrain in fiction over a career that has spanned five decades. But she has only rarely given readers a glimpse into her influences and formative years. Dancing Fish and Ammonites traces the arc of Lively's life, stretching from her early childhood in Cairo to boarding school in England to the sweeping social changes of Britain's twentieth century.
One of the things you should know about Kelly Corrigan is that she is the daughter of Mary Corrigan, a woman of conviction and grit who taught her kids that No Means No and Actions Speak Louder than Words and if they wanted a bunch of Rah Rah Lovey Dovey, go talk to your father--so Kelly did, over and over again, exiting her childhood with the sense that she'd always have more shared ground with him. But when she arrived in Australia in the summer of 1992, the only job she could find was as a nanny. She thought she was signing up for carpools and babysitting and some light cooking, but what she walked into instead was a household still reeling with grief from the recent loss of the mother. Completely unprepared, Kelly spent five months trying to help the Tanner family pick up the pieces. And to her surprise, she found herself quietly deferring to the wisdom of Mary Corrigan, who once told the young Kelly that her charming father "may be the glitter, but I'm the glue," a pattern that would become more pronounced years later, when Kelly's own daughters were born, and it turned out that each and every day demanded her mother's signature conviction and grit. This is a story about growing up and stepping up, but most of all, it's about the great adventure of motherhood

If you subtract the pleasure and relationship from the sexual act, it is reduced to another form of exercise. Like any other exercise, sex also gets the heart pumping and many people fear that sex may not be advisable for those with hypertension (high blood pressure) or heart disease. Sexual activity seldom has any cardiovascular risks associated with it. But the same cannot be said when you have the condition of continuous high blood pressure.
Chronic high blood pressure tends to harm blood vessels and can result in a condition known as atherosclerosis, fatty deposits inside the arterial walls, which narrows the arteries. An erection is caused by a hydraulic function of the body, which comes into play upon stimulation, and there is a rush of blood in the penis. In order to obtain an erection, it is imperative that there is a free flow of blood in the blood vessels. Any obstruction hinders the hydraulic function ending up in erectile dysfunction. High blood pressure may also lead to ejaculation problems or a lower sex drive.
Erectile dysfunction can be a highly disturbing condition and even a one chance episode can affect overall sex drive in men. The encouraging part is that some high blood pressure medications not only help in treating hypertension but also improve erectile dysfunction for some men. However, it requires an informative selection of drugs because some of them can actually make an erection difficult.
Some people are able to treat their blood pressure through natural remedies for high blood pressure like dietary and lifestyle changes. Others who need medication are usually prescribed medications in steps. This involves trying a medicine and evaluating its side effects before moving on to the next drug. The first choice medication is normally a diuretic like hydrochlorothiazide or a beta blocker like Atenolol. These two are normally able to control blood pressure but are also known to cause difficulties with erection.
Side effects are a part of treating diseases with conventional drugs. The disease may be cured but the drug causes some side effect that can get troublesome. In such a situation, there are a couple of other classes of high blood pressure medications that you can choose from.
- ACE inhibitors
- Angiotensin Converting Enzymes are less likely to cause any sex-related side effects and erectile dysfunction has been reported in less than 1% of patients.
- Alpha-blockers
- Although rarely used for treating high blood pressure, these androgen receptor blockers, if used result in curing erectile dysfunction.
- Calcium channel blockers
- Different drugs within this class have varying effects on sexual functioning.
- ARBs
- Angiotensin II Receptor Blockers are the least likely to cause problems with your sex life and may actually improve sexual functioning.
It is better to check with the specialist and change your medication rather that look for other drugs simply to increase sex drive because such drugs are not recommended for high blood pressure patients.

Welcome to the Children's National Medical Center's Pediatric Infectious Diseases Fellowship site! We are very proud of our program and its unique training opportunities. Our goals are to provide well-rounded training for fellows in clinical pediatric infectious diseases and in medical research. Successful completion of our ACGME-accredited program will provide the individual with the necessary qualifications for a position as a board-certified pediatric infectious diseases specialist.
Our program consists of two tracks: a traditional Clinical Research Track, and a unique FDA Track, affiliated with the United States Food and Drug Administration. Clinical training (see below) is identical for both tracks, with the tracks differing in research training focus (see Research tab above).
Please explore the information below as well as the other tabs above to learn more about CNMC's Pediatric Infectious Diseases Fellowship opportunities.
Bernhard L. Wiedermann, MD, MA
Fellowship Program Director
David Hyun, MD
Associate Fellowship Program Director
We have an additional opening available starting July 1, 2013, for a first-year fellow in our FDA/CDER Track. Please contact Dr. Wiedermann at firstname.lastname@example.com for more details.
Clinical experiences for fellows occur at the Sheik Zayed Campus for Advanced Children's Medicine of Children's National Medical Center in Washington, DC. Children's Hospital is a 303-bed facility that has served the nation's capital for over 140 years. Included in these beds are a Level IIIC Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, a Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, a Cardiac Intensive Care Unit, a Neurologic Intensive Care Unit, a Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant Unit, and a Level I Trauma Center. We admit over 13,000 children annually and provide more than 350,000 outpatient visits per year. Our Infectious Diseases service sees approximately 30 new and 100 follow-up visits monthly in our outpatient clinic, with over 100 inpatient consult visits per month. We accept 1-2 new fellows into the program each year.
Our infectious diseases practice reflects a highly diverse patient population, with children residing in the mid-Atlantic region as well as those originating or traveling from sites across the United States and the world. We care for children with not only common pediatric infections such as pneumonia and osteomyelitis, but also conditions including malaria, typhoid fever, and other tropical diseases, endemic infections such as Lyme Disease and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, and infections in compromised hosts. Our fellows actively participate in our Special Immunology Service, providing subspecialty and primary care to HIV-exposed and infected children.
