Frequently asked questions
For most cancers, there's no link between a person's sex life and the risk of cancer. Nor does having sex after cancer treatment increase the chances of cancer coming back or getting out of control. But viruses passed from one person to another through sexual contact have been linked to some cancers, including squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix, vulva, vagina, penis, mouth and throat, rectum or anus, and Kaposi sarcoma. Hepatitis B and hepatitis C viruses, which can be passed from one person to another during sex, can increase the risk for liver cancer. Epstein-Barr virus, which causes mononucleosis (also called mono or the "kissing disease"), seems to increase the risk of certain other types of cancer, too.
These cancers are not caused by having sex itself, but by viruses that can be picked up during sexual activity with someone who already has the virus. News stories about viruses and cancer can be confusing. The roles of these viruses are not fully understood, but some can cause changes in the DNA of the cell. Keep in mind that most people who get these viruses never develop cancer. You can get more information about viruses and cancer in Infections That Can Lead to Cancer.
Human papilloma virus
Nearly all women with cervical cancer have been infected with human papilloma virus (HPV), which is recognized as the main cause of cervical cancer. HPV can also cause cancers of the mouth and throat, anus, penis, vulva, and vagina. HPV is the most common sexually transmitted infection in the United States. HPV is passed from one person to another during skin-to-skin contact. It can be spread during sex – including vaginal sex, anal sex (entering or being entered through the anus), and even during oral (mouth) sex. Most adults who have had sex will at some point get HPV. But HPV does not cause cancer in most people who get it. Some people with HPV may be more at risk of getting cancer because of their age, poor health, family history, or past experience with other cancer-causing agents. For example, women who smoke cigarettes have an increased risk of cervical cancer. Men who are not circumcised are more likely to develop cancer of the penis.
Many patients and their partners worry that cancer is contagious – that cancer itself can be passed from one person to another during sex. Despite this myth, a cancer cell from one person's body simply can't be transmitted to another during sex, then take root and grow in their body. Cancer is not contagious.
Can AIDS be picked up from sex?
The virus that causes AIDS is called the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). It can be passed to someone else when blood, semen, or vaginal fluids from an infected person get into the body of an uninfected person. This can happen during oral (mouth), vaginal, and anal sex (entering or being entered through the anus). Nearly everyone with HIV got it in 1 of 3 ways:
- Unprotected sex with an infected person
- Sharing an infected person's needle or equipment during drug or steroid use
- From a mother to her baby during pregnancy or breast-feeding
Most people with HIV don't look sick until they have had the virus for many years. During that time, the only way to find out whether a person has the virus is to take an HIV test. Unless you know for sure that neither you nor your partner has the virus, and that both of you are careful to avoid infection, you should practice safer sex. If you are in a trusting relationship, and both of you have been tested and don't have the virus, unprotected sex may be safe. But both partners must stay faithful in order to protect themselves from HIV.
Examples of safer sex include:
- Touching each other's genitals with the hands.
- Oral sex with a woman if a "dental dam" is used. A dental dam is a rubber sheet that is used to cover the woman's vulva during oral sex. Or a sheet of plastic kitchen wrap that keeps the woman's sexual fluids contained can be used instead. Do not taste vaginal secretions without knowing the woman's HIV status first.
- Oral sex with a man if he wears a latex or plastic condom from start to finish. Never taste or swallow a man's semen if you suspect he might have HIV.
- Vaginal or anal sex using a latex or plastic condom. Condoms only work if they are used correctly, every time, from start to finish. Lots of water-based lubricant can help reduce the risk of the condom breaking. Never use lotion, oils, or petroleum jelly, which weakens latex condoms.
Spermicides (sperm-killing chemicals often used to prevent pregnancy) are not a good idea if you are trying to protect yourself from HIV. The sperm-killing chemicals in contraceptives were once thought helpful in fighting bacteria and some viruses. But some studies have suggested a higher risk of getting HIV infection in people who used nonoxynol-9 (N-9), a popular ingredient in foam, film, and gel contraceptives. N-9 can harm both vaginal and rectal tissues. Some lubricated condoms also have N-9, so you may want to check the label before you use them. Talk with your doctor about what methods might best meet your needs for preventing sexually transmitted infections or pregnancy.
Talk to an HIV counselor at your local health department if you have questions about HIV transmission, or see the "To learn more" section for more information.
What if I already have HIV?
If you have HIV, safer sex is important to avoid sexually transmitted infections. You will also want to protect your sex partner from HIV. Even if your partner has HIV too, either of you could become infected with a second strain of the virus. Researchers have discovered, for example, that people who were first infected with a type of HIV that could be treated with anti-viral drugs have gotten drug-resistant HIV through unprotected sex. If properly used, latex condoms can keep HIV from being transmitted through sex. (See HIV Infection, AIDS, and Cancer for more information.)
Can sex during treatment be harmful to a patient or partner?
A few chemo drugs can be present in small amounts in semen. You may want to use condoms while you are getting chemo and for about 2 weeks afterward. Some types of radiation treatment require special precautions for a certain amount of time, too. For instance, a man who is having "seed implants" (brachytherapy) for prostate cancer should check with his doctor about safety precautions, like using condoms, because sometimes the seeds can move.
Men who are getting chemo also should avoid causing pregnancy during and for some time after treatment because chemo may damage the DNA in sperm cells. This could lead to birth defects. Ask your doctor about birth control if your partner might get pregnant. You will also want to know when you can stop using birth control for this reason.
Although sexual activity is usually safe for your partner during your cancer treatment, some couples just stop having sex, without checking out their fears with the health care team. If you have been cleared medically to resume sex, but are still unsure, you may just need more time. Think about your feelings. Are there times when you feel a stirring of sexual desire?
Be sure to let your partner know that you'll want to have sex as soon as you feel better. Give your partner some ideas on helping you feel more sexual again, such as, "Let's try being affectionate in a relaxed way," or "I'd like to know that you still find me attractive."
You may also need to reassure your partner that your cancer treatment does not make sex dangerous. Cancer can't be caught from another person. If you have external radiation treatments, having sex with you does not expose your partner to radiation.
When should a person with cancer not have sex?
Ask your doctor if sex may be a problem at any time during or after your treatment. Here are some general guidelines to think about:
- When recovering from surgery, sex can cause bleeding or strain the incision (cut). Sex may also increase your chance of an infection. The time between surgery and when it's safe to have sex varies. It depends on the type of operation and how well you are healing. Your surgeon can tell you when it's safe to try sex again.
- Some types of cancer, like cancer of the bladder, may cause bleeding in the genital area or urinary tract. If this bleeding is worse after sex, talk with your doctor about it. You may need to stop having sex until the bleeding has stopped and the area has healed.
- During chemo, a person with an infusion catheter sometimes worries that sexual activity will harm it. As long as you take care not to rub against it, sex should not cause any problems.
- When you're being treated for cancer, there are often times when your immune system isn't working as well as it should. This may happen during radiation or chemo. At such times, it may be easier for you to get all kinds of infections. Again, ask your doctor if sexual contact puts you at too much risk for infection. Most doctors say that if you're well enough to be out in public, you're well enough to have sex. If you're in the hospital because of weak immunity, ask your doctor's advice on kissing, cuddling, or sexual touching.
- There are things you can do to try to prevent urinary tract infections. Some of the bacteria that can start infections in the urinary tract or genital area may wash away if you urinate a few minutes after sex. You might even want to drink a glass of water before you make love, so it will be easier to urinate afterward.
- If you notice any sores, bumps, or warts on your partner's genitals, or any unusual fluids or discharge, you should ask for an explanation of the symptom and decide whether it's safe to have sex. But you should not expect to be able to screen your partner for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) before having sex. Remember that most STIs never cause signs or symptoms you can see. The only way to detect most of them is to go to the doctor and ask to be tested for them. And often the person with an STI doesn't even know they have it. You can reduce your chances of getting an STI if you wear a latex or plastic condom for oral, vaginal, or anal sex.
Do other people with cancer feel shame or guilt?
Even if a cancer treatment hasn't left obvious scars, many people still feel ashamed of having cancer. Some people feel that the person with cancer may be unclean or somehow to blame for the disease. These ideas are not true. Feelings of guilt or blame can only take away from the efforts you make toward solving sexual problems.
My partner is acting different since we talked about my cancer. How do I handle that?
Many people think that cancer is always fatal. But in a nation where 1 out of every 2 to 3 people will have cancer in their lifetime, and where survival rates are steadily going up for those with cancer, this belief is unfounded and harmful. Still, it can affect the way others relate to you.
Talking to your partner about your diagnosis and treatment as it unfolds may help both of you. Fear of the unknown can interfere with intimacy. Your partner may be afraid of losing you but afraid to say so, and sometimes it helps if you can bring that up. You may have some other concerns you would like to share, too.
Sit down in a quiet, private place. Offer a chance to talk, but don't force the issue if your partner is unable to open up with you at first. Try to be available if your partner wants to talk later. If that doesn't happen, you may want to try again. If it continues to be a problem, you may want to think about counseling. If your partner doesn't want to seek help, it's OK to go by yourself. (See the "Professional help" section.)
What about sex and advanced cancer or at the end of life?
A very ill person is not often seen as a sexual person, but sexual feelings exist in everyone, even in times of very poor health. Touching, caressing, sharing, and emotional intimacy are always important – even at the end of life.
When cancer is far advanced, a person's needs for affection, sharing of feelings, and touch may become even stronger. Partners of patients can help by remembering how important physical closeness is, even when sex might be too much for the person with cancer.
Other questions
You probably have many other questions that haven't been addressed here. Don't be afraid or embarrassed to discuss them with your doctor or other members of your health care team. Write them down now so you'll remember to ask them at your next visit.

Angels Afterthoughts: Another short outing for WilsonJuly 4th, 2014, 10:28 pm by BY DANIEL GALLEN
ANAHEIM -- Entering Friday, Angels left-hander C.J. Wilson was a picture of stability at Angel Stadium, going 6-1 with a 3.20 ERA.
For baseball's best home team, the matchup with last-place Houston seemed to be a prime opportunity to extend a seven-game winning streak at home with a pitcher who had performed well in Anaheim.
But instead of another solid performance at home, Wilson scuffled. The lefty lasted 4 1/3 innings and allowed six runs on seven hits, including a season-high three home runs. He escaped with a no decision when second baseman Howie Kendrick's double in the seventh inning tied the game and center fielder Mike Trout's home run won it in the ninth.
Through the first three innings, Wilson appeared to be in control. The lone hiccup came in the second when Houston took a 1-0 lead on designated hitter Chris Carter's solo home run. The next inning, Wilson struck out two looking in a 1-2-3 inning.
Disaster struck in the fourth, though. Wilson allowed hits to the first five batters of the inning. Thanks to a two-run home run by center fielder George Springer and a three-run shot by first baseman Jon Singleton, all five of those Astros scored, and Houston had a 6-3 lead.Read the rest of this entry »

SEATTLE -- This is the kind of performance the Chicago White Sox were expecting from Adam Dunn when they gave him a big contract before the 2011 season.
Dunn hit two homers, doubled and drove in five runs, powering the Chicago White Sox past the Seattle Mariners 7-3 Friday night.
Dunn had just 11 homers and hit .159 last season in his first with the White Sox after signing a four-year, $56 million deal before 2011. But he appears to have regained his balance at the plate with the help of several unorthodox drills.
"I thought it was kind of crazy, but, when we started doing it, I started feeling. getting my balance back and stuff like that," Dunn said.
Chicago hitting coach Jeff Manto suggested the exercises, including holding a medicine ball between his legs during practice swings to keep from lunging. The benefits were visible Friday.
Dunn connected for a three-run homer off Hector Noesi (1-2) in the second inning to make it 6-0. He hit his third home run of the season in the eighth, giving him 31 multihomer games and the first since joining the White Sox. It was the first time Dunn had homered against Seattle in 12 career games.

"He keeps staying at it, and that's all we're asking him to do," Chicago manager Robin Ventura said. "He's staying positive and working, and I see that happening more often. He is going to have a few strikeouts, but he's able to put that on the side and still come out and have quality at-bats."
Chris Sale (2-1) struck out 11 in 6 1/3 innings. He gave up three runs and seven hits for the White Sox.
"They say pitching wins ballgames, but, today, that wasn't the case the way they were swinging the bats," Sale said.
Said Sale: "Sporadic with my control at times. Got to give it to A.J. [Pierzynski]. He really got me through that game."
Noesi lasted just 1 1/3 innings. He gave up six hits and six runs to send his ERA soaring to 9.49 from 5.73. Erasmo Ramirez pitched one-hit ball for 3 2/3 innings.
Noesi threw 38 pitches in the first, including an 11-pitch walk to A.J. Pierzynski. Alejandro De Aza singled, Brent Morel walked and Dunn had an RBI double. Alex Rios' sacrifice fly made it 2-0.
"He wasn't able to locate his fastball, and his secondary stuff never really came into play," Seattle manager Eric Wedge said. "Just didn't have it today."
Jesus Montero hit his second home run of the season to center field in the sixth and Ichiro Suzuki singled home Brendan Ryan in the seventh to make it 6-3.
Seattle threatened from the start with back-to-back singles by Chone Figgins and Dustin Ackley, putting runners on first and third with none out. But Sale struck out Suzuki and got Justin Smoak to ground into a double play.
The Mariners also put runners on second and third in the second inning, but could not score. They finally broke through in the third when Suzuki had a run-scoring double into the left field corner.
Mariners reliever Hisashi Iwakuma made his major league debut in the sixth inning. Iwakuma was the last player on an opening-day roster that wasn't injured or sent to the minors to appear in a game this season. He pitched four innings and allowed just one run.
Casper Wells doubled twice for the Mariners which were 1 for 13 with runners in scoring position.
Former Mariner Ruppert Jones, the first player selected in the 1976 expansion draft, threw out the ceremonial first pitch Friday.. Since 2003, White Sox pitchers lead the majors with 801 quality starts.. The White Sox struck out 16 times Thursday, their most since Sept. 17, 2005, at Minnesota, when they struck out 16 times, too.

Facts, Figures & Folklore
About Halloween
Oct 25 : 06 days till Halloween
Did you know that modern day Wiccans still celebrate Samhain with elaborate rituals marking the end of summer and coming of the winter?
While there are many ways to celebrate Samhain, most rituals are focused on honoring one's deceased ancestors or commemorating the cycle of death and rebirth.
The holiday of Halloween dates back to the Dark Ages. Once truly spooky traditions have morphed over the years into much more light-hearted (but still mischievous) celebrations. Here is a fun look at some of the facts and folklore that describe how All Hallows Eve came to be celebrated as Halloween. Join us for a new Did You Know? each day as we count down to Halloween.
Halloween will be celebrated on Saturday October 31st.

Apolytikion of Eve of Epiphany in the Fourth Tone
River Jordan was turned back by Elisseus' mantle once, when the fiery man of zeal Elias had been taken up; then were its waters divided hither and thither. The running streams became dry passage unto him, truly as a sign and type of Baptism, whereby we pass to the other side of the shifting stream of this fleeting life. Christ hath appeared in the Jordan River, to sanctify the waters.

I'm so glad you wrote this post so I could forgo my own as we seem to have had much the same impressions of the weekend. Once I overcame my social anxiety disorder I had a nice time meeting so many people I had previously read, yourself included. I think I was the only one not taking pictures of everything I ate that weekend.
For the record, thought the beet ravioli was one of the best tastes of the event...if you don't count the macarons which always seem to ruin the curve for me. I did try the chocolate hummus. I hope some day my therapy is successful and I'm able to talk about it without an anxiety attack relapse.

Well, I guess we now know who Vice President Biden wanted on the Supreme Court.
In paying tribute Friday to the outgoing Homeland Security secretary, Biden said: "I think Janet Napolitano should be on the Supreme Court of the United States."
Napolitano was on the list when President Obama made his two appointments to the high court, Sonia Sotomayor in 2009 and Elena Kagan in 2010.
A former governor of Arizona, Napolitano is the new president of the University of California system.

Thank you to everyone. I really appreciate all your wonderful advice! I have yet again another question about nighttime parenting. 2 weeks after my lo was born we moved into a two storey house. I was really excited about it after living in apartments fo 7 yrs. There just been one little problem. Our bedroom is upstairs and our bathroom is downstairs. My lo is still nursing about every 2 hrs and i'm cursed with a chipmunk bladder. Everytime she wakes me I have to go to the washroom after nursing her. She would not stay asleep if i left her in the adult bed and i didn't think it was safe. SO i started bringing her with me downstairs to the washroom. I had a horrible pregnancy and spent the majority of the 9 months on the couch puking my brains out. Therefore not getting much exercise. Going up and down these new stairs (man i missed my elevator!) started causing me a lot of knee pain. But i managed. Until one night when going down the stairs my knee gave out and i slid down the rest of the stairs on my knee caps, tearing all the skin off (luckly my lo wasn't hurt. She didn't even wake up!) But that prompted me to get a single bed and put it in our living room. So my dh is sleeping upstairs and i'm sleeping downstairs It's ok so far because that's where the air conditioner is (downstairs) and we don't have the right sized windows to put one upstairs but when all the heatwaves are done i would like to move upstairs with my dh. any suggestions on how i can do this? Will my lo when she gets older be more comfortable with me leaving her in the bed alone for a few minutes? How do you mom's deal with this issue?? I'm sure it sounds like a stupid question and the only answer i get from family is "That's why she should learn to sleep by herself". So i'm hoping someone out there has a suggestion. Thanks!

it seems to me that the sooner you can get her adjusted to getting comfort from dh at nite, the better. your need to pee can't be ignored and if she's comfortable w/dh, you won't have to hurry over the screaming. but even if she does scream, it's not the same as CIO, as she'd be getting comfort from dh.

Two thoughts
Yes, a gentle into into "dad can also provide comfort, even tough we would all know what baby would prefer" might be in order.
And if I were you I would get an old fashioned pee pot to keep upstairs! I peed in my sons learning potty when I was very pregnant (our only bathroom is upstairs) and I had to go so often I couldn't leave my son and the child I babysit alone for that long! (I would promptly dispose of said pee when able)
That fall sounds awful! I am glad you are OK.
Also, an adult bed (just mattress) on the floor eliminates many of the hazards of a child being left alone on it. A roll off of 4 inches (especially on carpet) would be almost nothing. Just think about other creative options!Last edited by naomifrederickmd; 07-20-2008, 08:44 PM. Reason: Extra F for OFF

Delivering a whole new level of versatility - now in a smaller bite-size version - the Tylure Buzzbommer Jr. functions like a floating buzzbait. Featuring a large wooden head with huge eyes that rattle and move on the retrieve, a small single-blade prop on its nose, and a four-bladed prop extending from the rear of the bait, the Buzzbommer Jr. generates the characteristic buzzbait surface disturbance, while also allowing you to vary your retrieve with stops-and-starts. Solving the age-old problem of a buzzbait's proclivity to sink on the pause, the Tylure Buzzbommer Jr. is an innovative and eye-catching lure destined to be a topwater favorite - now in a smaller size.

Comments: One of the best lures ever! Caught fish every time I Used it. Just ordered 2 more due to the last fish Totally destroying it breaking my 8 lb test.
From: Mike: USA / baltimore
Comments: At first I was hesitant of purchasing this bait. It looked odd and really animated but when it arrived I was totally impressed by its durability and originality. I finally fished it today and was totally blown away!!! It can be used at any speed and even stops with its head up. The sound is like no other buzzbait on the market. It brought in plenty of bass and even a couple small stripers. Not too bad for the first time out. Don't hesitate to try this bait. It actually works.
From: Kurt: Los Angeles, Ca
Comments: I purchased the original size lure, and the thing is like a softball...I HAD to return it. I like this lures size and presentation out of the water...I fished it for the first time last weekend, and I must say I was REALLY disappointed with it. It is a big chunk of wood, you would expect it to stay afloat...nope, it sinks. You cannot rip it and pause it, it sinks. On top of that, when you move it in the water, there is nothing special about it, and the main head rolls, as a matter of fact the whole lure rolls. It is going up on my cork board for decoration, and out of my tackily box. Don't waste your money.

Troika statement on the focus areas paper of the OWG co-chairs
Open Working Group on Sustainable Development Goals
OWG session 9
3 – 5 March 2014
Australia, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom
Troika statement on the focus areas paper of the OWG co-chairs
4 March 2014
We thank both co-chairs for their efforts and guidance so far, as well as for their report. We look forward to their continued leadership.
SDGs should be based on the Millennium Declaration, the Rio +20 Outcome Document and the Outcome Document of the MDG Special Event. They should address all three dimensions of sustainable development.
We welcome the broad consensus that eradicating poverty in all its forms is the overarching priority. We need to complete the unfinished the business of the MDGs and end extreme poverty, including a target to bring those living on less than $1.25 a day to zero.
We have many comments on the focus areas, but we will confine ourselves to the following key points:
Gender equality and women's empowerment
Gender equality and women's empowerment are inextricably linked to the achievement of all goals. We support both a dedicated goal and integration across the framework. In addition to the issues raised in the co-chairs' summary, we would like to highlight the following areas:
• End all forms of violence against women and girls, including sexual violence, and Female Genital Mutilation
• End child, early and forced marriage
• Ensure equal access to, and control over, assets and resources, and the right of women to own and inherit property, sign a contract, register a business and open a bank account, and
• Ensure the protection and fulfillment of sexual and reproductive rights
Focus area 19: peaceful and non-violent societies, capable institutions
If one thing is clear from our experiences with the MDGs, it is that omitting separate goals on peaceful and stable societies, and on accountable and effective institutions will make any sustainable development agenda woefully incomplete and inadequate. There is an abundance of evidence to illustrate this point.
As well as outcomes, these goals are enablers, too, just like education is an enabler, or health, or means of implementation. They are key to an ambitious and transformative goal framework for sustainable development. That is why, Mr. co-chair, we call for two separate goals on peaceful and stable societies and on accountable and effective institutions.
Peaceful and Stable Societies
A goal on peaceful and stable societies would truly be universal. Personal safety for individuals is a priority for everyone around the world. Not only do 50% percent of the world's poor live in conflict affected and fragile situations, but of the half a million violent deaths every year, three quarters are in countries considered to be peaceful. So this agenda is relevant to everyone. The findings of the Myworld survey confirm that `freedom from crime and violence' is in the top seven priorities listed by people globally. We would like to suggest the following areas for consideration under this goal:
• Reduce the violent death rate
• Reduce the number of IDPs and refugees
• Reduce organized crime, including illicit arms transfers and trafficking
• Enhance the capacity, professionalism, accountability and legitimacy of security forces, the police and the judiciary
• Ensure universal access to justice
Accountable and Effective Institutions
Accountable and effective institutions are at the heart of the social contract between the state and its citizens, and both an outcome and enabler of development. Citizens want governments that are capable and responsive and able to deliver on their commitments. The Myworld survey found that `an honest and responsive government' is among the top four priorities of ordinary people. We would like to suggest the following areas for consideration under a goal on accountable and effective institutions:
• Provide universal legal identity
• Guarantee the public's right to information, and access to government data
• Ensure officials and institutions are held accountable, and reduce bribery and corruption
• Ensure people enjoy freedom of speech, association, peaceful protest, and access to independent media and information
• Ensure participation in democratic politics and civic engagement
Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights
We would like to highlight again the call by 51 member states during OWG8 to ensure the sexual and reproductive health and rights of all individuals, including universal access to sexual and reproductive health information, education, and services. The rights component of sexual and reproductive health is essential to realising a decent life for all. We call emphatically for the inclusion of SRHR in the post-2015 agenda.
Economic Growth
We welcome the focus on economic growth, which needs to be both inclusive and sustainable. As well as international markets that support economic growth, we need national enabling environments that create:
• Positive incentives for innovation and investment
• A fair and predictable environment for sustainable business growth
• Secure property and land rights
• Efficient and effective mechanisms for enforcing commercial agreements and resolving disputes
Health and Populations Dynamics
Regarding the focus area on health and population dynamics we emphasize the importance of universal access to safe, effective, affordable and acceptable modern methods of family planning, and the health needs of youth and adolescents.
Environmental Degradation and Climate Change
We agree with many delegations that tackling environmental degradation and climate change and meeting the 2 degrees objective is essential to poverty eradication and sustainable development. We want to ensure that the SDGs integrate environmental sustainability and climate change throughout, especially in key sectors such as energy, agriculture, water, natural resources and infrastructure.
Disaster Risk Reduction
In addition, we join the many delegations who have said that disaster risk reduction is an essential element in achieving the post-2015 agenda.
Means of Implementation
We acknowledge the importance of Means of Implementation (MoI) to the achievement of the SDGs. While finance issues are being covered by the Intergovernmental Committee of Experts on Sustainable Development Financing, we are ready to engage in a discussion on the non-financial aspects of what a global partnership should cover.
We need to address MoI as a whole; trying to split it up across the SDGs is impractical. In addition to an overall discussion on MoI, we could, as the delegate from Colombia proposed, highlight the benefits of multi-stakeholder partnerships in specific areas that would make the realisation of the SDGs possible.
We take note of the statements on CBDR. We underline that, as defined in Rio principle 7, CBDR applies specifically to global environmental degradation. It is not an overarching principle for the SDGs. We are committed to a universal agenda with shared responsibilities and contributions reflecting countries' evolving capabilities and circumstances.
In closing, we would like to highlight our commitment to an ambitious, transformative, universal post-2015 agenda. In this regard, we would like to emphasize that leaving no one behind means not discriminating against anyone regardless of their gender, age, race or ethnicity, religion of belief, disability status, sexual orientation or gender identity.
Thank you.

There were so many things wrong with this movie ;P, but the animation was pretty good for Naruto and I liked the last 2 scenes (4th's sealing and the one after that) and the best part was probably that Kushina appeared in credits, even though they were to lazy to animate it xD.
I really liked this movie ^^ I thought it was awesome (besides, you see Yamato smacking Kakashi, how cool is that?)
Fire type
What chakra type are you?
I came in with low expectations, and i wasn't disappointed, i'd give it a 3/5
It was actually a good movie. I liked it.
Manga reading list: Bleach, Naruto, Katekyo Hitman Reborn, One Piece, Code Breaker, Gamaran, Kuroko No Basket, Fairy Tail, The World God Only Knows, Kimi No Iru Machi, Good Ending, Medaka Box, Nisekoi, D.Gray-Man, Ao No Exorcist, Freezing, Magi - Labyrinth of Magic, Soul Eater, Rosario Vampire Season II, Iris Zero, Ubell Blatt, Bloody Cross, Sun-Ken Rock, and Infinite Stratos,
it wasn't fantastic.. but it wasn't horrible either. the animation was ok, a bit sloppy in some places..but about what we've come to expect from a Naruto movie
Every movie so far before this one(all 6 of them), the last fight has ended with a new Rasengan variant.. so I knew it was coming.. Thorofasgard13, you might want to watch just the end.. seems somewhat familiar somehow..
come fight my brute here
Maybe this will be the best movie so far the others are a bit of a let down for me.
But i think it will be great look in this movie....

Aggravate, Anger, and Piss off
well i think that he is bigger as in mass wize because he looks a lot wider but shorter.
here are good reference points.
you can see both of them have people with in closer range
decken is a bit smaller but a bit smaller away and the straw hats are a bit close and a bit bigger. so i think they are closer in size than we think.
also here.
i would say nightmare luffy was a bit bigger than jimbi
so yeah i would say they are a lot closer than we had thought
@Cross, Lmao on your fist comparison. If we go by that and say nightmare Luffy is a bit bigger than Jinbei then it still makes Wadatsumi bigger than Oz. Wadatsumi's fist is small in comparison with his body while Oz's fist is big in comparison with his body. Now put that picture of Oz and Wadatsumi together with their fist at almost same size then Wadatsumi is bigger.
Last edited by arisart; 10-12-2011 at 11:01 AM.
sig made by me
*^ that makes a lot of sense, I was reading the comparisons and thought for a minute they may be the about the same size, not considering the proportions of their hands.
But as you said, - that would make Wadatsumi A LOT bigger, unless Oda drew Wadatsumi's fists small in the 1st frame (meaning they are normally bigger), if they are normal size in that first frame however, then he would dwarf Oz (I mean even before he blows out, obviously puffed up Wadatsumi is bigger - just meaning their base sizes).
But then the question arises, though that San Juan, and Oars Jr., they are clearly bigger/ taller than these 2, right?
Last edited by SCarred Luffy Lvl:Z; 10-15-2011 at 10:29 PM.
There are more things in heaven and earth then is dreamt of in your philosophy
If you look at the Wadatsumi picture you can see his hand over his eye (like he's looking for something).
Notice his eye is nearly half the size of his hand (and that can kind of give us a picture how large his head is) - now looking at Oz, his hand is bigger then his entire head - that comparing the sizes of their fists with Nightmare Luffy/Jimbie stopping them its clear that Wadatsumi *should* be MUCH larger.
Also I didnt think Oz Jr was THAT big, I though he was similar to Oz, and as for San Juan - the picture where he is hiding behind marine ford (where the other normal giants were small in the frame) made him look almost too big, obviously much bigger then Wadatsumi/Oz/or anyother Giant we've seen.
You're right that pic with San Juan seems almost deceptively confusing, so I wouldn't know either way.
We never saw Wadatsumi, or Oz, or even San Juan fully in the water, but Oars Jr. started out in the water unfrozen by Ao Kiji and made his way to that ice. Don't remember that clearly, and am not clearly sure how close the water level was to the ground 's surface; but if i remember correctly Oars jr. wasn't even 'submerged' up to his knees, and he was still taller than the top tip of the sails of the Navy ships. Not to mention sometimes Oars jr.'s head was shown right under / actually within/ and or basically 'scraping the clouds in those memories with Ace I based my decision on those because as tall as they were, I don't think Oz, or Wadatsumi, could match that in terms of height.
So this all boils down to I guess, what others constantly say , that Oda is just really way too inconsistant with his sizes of characters in the actual drawings and differing POV's.
There are more things in heaven and earth then is dreamt of in your philosophy
@Scarred Luffy
I thought in that picture Wadatsumi's legs were bending back, like there at a angle where I thought they could be going behind him - also I was looking for another picture of him that showed his legs but couldn't find one (ALL the pictures of him I found his lower half is covered by smoke).
But its like you said, who can say for sure. Oda isn't great at drawing consistencies with his sizes of characters.

Anyways, I was re-reading OP and I was curious if there was a general consensus on how many marines there were? I mean there must be at least a 500k+ though I'm thinking there may be as many as 2m ish.
I get this because during the buster call there are at least (or from what i counted - though I may be wrong) 10ships in that fleet, I don't know how many solders one of the marines vessels can carry, however I'm guessing like 1-2k since I know that a modern aircraft carrier holds like 5-6k.
So during a buster call there are 10ships (at least) holding 1.5k troops = 15k, however if i remember correctly they are all ranked captain or higher (with 5 Vice Admirals). Ok so, 15k isn't that many at first, however considering that it means there must be 15k captains and 5 admirals on standby and there must be more then 1 post that holds the troops (since obviously its a big ocean) I'm guessing there would have to be like idk, at least 14 different stations holding the troops just in case a buster call is called.
I'm saying 14 stations (at least) because there are 11 different routes to take getting to sabony, and it seems like the routes can't be crossed - with that you would at least need 1 station per route plus I'm thinking 1 per ocean (aside the east blue, seeing that its the weakest).
So yeah, that ends up to like 210k captains (or more) and 70 Vice Admirals that are ALWAYS on standby just in case. This isn't including the other marines stationed at other points keeping order, nor is it considering what the marine presence in the NW could be.
So yeah, lol it was a long post however, how many marines do you think there are?

Forty Weeks of Fitness | With Chelsea
Walking for Fitness
Anywhere, anytime - grab your shoes and head into the great outdoors. Is it raining, freezing or too hot and humid? Head to the gym for a date with the treadmill. Walking is one of the few activities that will be enjoyable throughout your entire pregnancy. Be sure to consider your environment and potential dangers. To keep yourself safe walking inside or out, consider the temperature, precipitation, amount of daylight and level of traffic on your path. Enjoy walking outside? Leave your earphones at home and take your cell phone or a friend. No matter where you are walking, be sure to keep a bottle of water with you and rehydrate frequently.
Baseline Rules
If You Were Inactive Before Pregnancy...
Carpe diem. This is the perfect time to improve your cardiovascular health by beginning a walking program. Walking during your pregnancy will help you in multiple ways: it increases your circulation to help reduce edema (swelling), decreases stress, helps maintain an appropriate weight, and decreases your risk for gestational diabetes and the chance of suffering lower back pain. Don't you think it's time to get moving?
Begin your program with a 20-25 minute steady walk on a flat course. After accomplishing your 25 minutes of aerobic exercise consistently three or more times a week for two weeks, increase the intensity by heading to the hills in your neighborhood or stepping up the incline on the treadmill. You can also increase the intensity of your workout by lengthening your walking time. Gradually work yourself up to a 45 minute walk on rolling terrain most days of the week. No hills in your 'hood? Here are several additional ways to add intensity to your workout:

Skip to comments.Sheldon Adelson: Im Basically a Social Liberal
Posted on 12/09/2012 12:46:52 PM PST by WilliamIII
In a three-hour interview with The Wall Street Journal, casino mogul Sheldon Adelson excoriated President Barack Obama, Democrats and unions, as one would expect of a top donor to conservatives and Republican causes in the 2012 election.
But the billionaire, sitting with his wife Miriam, an Israel-born physician, shared political beliefs that may leave some surprised.
Number one, Im supporting stem-cell research, he said, pointing to a chart of the new Adelson medical research foundation that is funding some stem-cell based science.
Im pro choice, he said. Republicans are pro-life, but he and his wife are not pro-life in politics, he said.
You can take your own religious beliefs and live your life with your own beliefs. But to make it a portion of the governments policies? He shook his head.
Abortion shouldnt be brought up as a political issue, he said.
Mr. Adelson continued on his list of liberal leanings.
On immigration: Im pro-Dream Act, Im pro the Dream Act. My parents were immigrants to this country, he said.
(Excerpt) Read more at blogs.wsj.com ...
These freaks that have bought, and ruined, the GOP just need to go away ... or we need to leave them ... stat.
And he will use all his riches to destroy traditional values.
Scratch a social liberal, find a fiscal liberal.
I've noticed that a lot of Romney supporters have been sucking up to the Kenyan and his 'RATS since the "election". I don't blame them. Chicago style politics can get pretty rough.
Romney's sugar daddy. Figures...
No surprise to those who said so all along.
Months back he said he was funding Gingrich but expected Romney and wanted to make sure it wasn't Santorum. He didn't like Santorum's stance on abortion.
He was Newt's sugar daddy long before he was Romney's sugar daddy. Adelson was adamant about getting Santorum out of the picture and Newt let himself be used just long enough to prevent Rick from going head to head with Romney.
Exactly. Someone has to pay for the consequences of social liberalism and it always ends up being the taxpayers via socialistic programs.
He may be a sugardaddy, but he's our sugardaddy.
We can barely keep FR alive, let alone raise serious cash.
This man is a TRAITOR. I am not using hyperbole- he wants to supplant US Citizen with illegal aliens and then pay low wages and socialize the costs
WE get to pay for HIS billions by providing everything in Espanol and FREE education and FREE medical care etc...
Adelson is WHY Romney backed off his "SELF DEPORTATION" rhetoric after beating Newt in FLA
Socially liberal policy invariably encourages BEHAVIOR that requires EXPENSIVE government help
"gay" liberation gave us AIDS and HIV
Free "love" gave us unwed mothers and taxpayer funded abortion and Sex "education" in public school
DREAM Act treason costs big $$$
...casino mogul Sheldon Adelson excoriated President Barack Obama, Democrats and unions......"I don't think it's right that President Obama and the Democrats vote for every two-bit Indian casino proposal that comes down the pike. Other than that, I agree with them on everything, including a giant tax increase on the rich, because, you know, my actual income is pretty low, so is my wife's, and our tax rate won't change much if at all. We can afford the best tax advisers, investment advisers, and accountants."
So the WSJ finally gets around to telling us this? But the VDARE.COM website was on top of this Sheldon Adelson thing months ago. Just a plug for VDARE.COM!
"Sheldon Adelson: Im Basically a Social Liberal"
And Koch's are idiot libertarians like Gary Johnson and Ron Paul.
Some side that we have. It is made up of a lot of Frauds. That is why it is so hard for me to trust anyone.
He also funded Newt. I hope you are not trying to forget that he was backing Newt and was his sugar daddy when Newt should have got out of the primary. I don't trust Newt anymore than I trust Marco Rubio. Sorry. Both love Amnesty.
Adelson started out backing more conservative candidates and then switched to Gov. Romney only after Gingrich fell out of the race. Romney was not Adelson's favorite candidate but Adelson did back him, including significant tangible ($) help, when Romney won the nomination.
I'm never going to get 100 percent of what I want in candidates. All in all, I am very tankful to Mr. Adelson for his hard work and generous support in supporting Republican candidates trying to dislodge HusseinO.
Many of us are still smarting from the election loss. Maybe if we can avoid being too harsh in our criticisms of the Republican candidates or the people who stepped up to the plate and backed them (like Adelson), we can regroup and form a more successful campaign next time. Which is something we need to start doing right NOW, in my humble opinion. First priority: making sure Reagan's 11th Commandment is honored so people seeking the R nomination don't form a "circular firing squad" as they did in 2012. That's what caused the R party to lose, not Adelson. Let's lighten up on Adelson and others who helped us, ok? He did a whole lot more to try to help us than most of the folks you and I meet or speak with (or even many of us who are posting here today?) Thanks
did Adelson fund Gingrich in order to knock out Santorum and clear the way for Romney? Just askin
i do not think so
i think Adelson backed Gingrich because he liked Gingrich for a long time
i do understand that Adelson did not want Santorum as the candidate (but then again, he did not want Romney as the candidate, either). SO, would Adelson have backed Santorum had Santorum won the nomination? My guess (and it is ONLY a guess) is yes he would have. Adelson despises HusseinO's politics...
again, that's just my guess of what might have happened IF...
I have no sure knowledge one way or the other
Yes, I had forgotten that.
He's probably a lot like Doris Duke when it comes to believing in conspiracies targeting his wealth.
The big problem here is he likes dead babies ~
He was Newt's sugar daddy well before Newt's campaign flamed out. Google it.
His interests are:
1. Israel
2. Keeping American tax dollars flowing to Israel
3. Keeping his gambling empire growing in the US and China so he can bribe politicians to devote tax dollars to Israel.
There was no need for a circular firing squad if we'd had standards in place to keep the top of the ticket nomination in the hands of lifelong Republicans!
[[Scratch a social liberal, find a fiscal liberal]]
True. Fiscal conservatives/social liberals are basically secular. For the secularists, nothing is sacred — not marriage nor human life (babies) nor large families (be fruitful and multiply) nor the Ten Commandments. For secularists, unwed motherhood, child-abandoning feminism, and the decline of the work ethic are financial and education problems, not moral failings.
Since the social liberals don't want to "preach" or provide moral leadership to our predominantly Christian country, al they do is spend more tax dollars.
Mayor Bloomberg and Governor Schwarzenegger both claimed to be fiscal conservatives/social liberals yet turned out to be pretty liberal across the board. If a liberal politician does not worship God he inevitably worships big government.
Such standards would mean no GOP nomination for Ronald Reagan...
It would be interesting to see the reactions of liberals if you substituted "slavery" for "abortion" in that argument.
Israel benefits from some of our American tax dollars, yes, but rather than argue that here (since it is not the point of this thread), I will just cite Adelson "in his own words"... so we can be fair about this. Adelson is very open about his concern for Israel, yes. And then he goes on (at greater length) to express his concerns about Obama's new type of Democratic party and the current Democratic party economic and tax policy positions — which he believes are a significant departure from the past, and which he believes will do great harm to America and our economy. In short, Adelson is no more a "one issue" contributor than Santorum, Gingrich, or Romney were "one issue" candidates. And at least he put his money up where his mouth is, and he worked hard for the Republican ticket, something many of our critics right now failed to do. Look, either we work together now or else we do another "circular firing squad" and lose again in 2016. 8 years of HusseinO and then 8 years of what, Hillary? Why not let's all try to pull the oars as a team this time?
good point, although I wouldn't want to impose a "life-long" test (which would have barred, say, Ronald Reagan for sure!)
but yes, it was frustrating to see some pretty good candidates ripping each other to shreds... all HusseinO had to do was sit back and watch (and laugh)...
That worked for a time, then the dykes broke!
Instead of "lifelong republican" we should have made the standard, "could not have left the GOP because it was to conservative", that would have excluded Mitt Romney, who left the GOP and did not rejoin until after the Reagan Revolution and his veep's presidency was over.
I still think that JimRob and the AdminMods should have kept up the booting of Paulbots and Romney supporters... :p
Wouldn't have made much of a difference in the last fraudulent election, but it would have cleaned up the place a bit.
Just noticed you were a chopper driver :D
My pop was one too... first time he handed my the cyclic I was 11yo (stupid on his part, but his hand was mm from his side, and made a great recovery ;))
Can fly one now, but never licensed.
Romney was probably no more a Republican than Obama is a Democrat... indeed, Romney's general values were quite akin to the regular Dem party... whereas HusseinO's are patently Marxist/Islamofascist (sort of a hybrid really) and there are tons of D party members who are very concerned and discouraged what's happened to the D party (that it has been usurped or taken over by an extremist radical fringe, or whatever)
so both parties nominated "non-traditional candidates"
or candidates outside their "main streams"
that's as far as I can go with this, I don't know why or what's happening (other than in the D party there has been some major, major funding coming in from anti-American, largely foreign, Islamicist sources... which would explain the D party problem at least in part... but this was known in 2008 and the R's said nothing and did nothing about it... which I can't explain, either)
I remember about six months ago when a bunch of Freepers around here thought that this guy was the cat's meow.

Skip to comments.Dixie Chicks fly the coop
Posted on 08/05/2006 5:51:30 AM PDT by NautiNurse
It was announced late today that the Dixie Chicks's Oct. 5 concert at the St. Pete Times Forum in has been cancelled. Ticket holders were advised to contact their original point of purchase for refunds and information on alternate area concerts.
The Dixie Chicks camp is reporting that the tour was rerouted "to allow the group some promotion time in September around the debut of the documentary film 'Dixie Chicks' Shut Up and Sing.'"
The Dixie Chicks released the following statement: "This is a year where we weren't sure what to expect. We were prepared for a lot of things as we figure out this new phase of our career. What we weren't prepared for, however, was the overly passionate audience response at all of the stops on the tour so far. We are truly at a loss for words to explain what that has meant to us. We hope that our fans who were looking forward to a stop that is no longer on the tour will be able to join us at a nearby arena this fall, and we are sorry for any confusion or inconvenience these changes have caused."
The Dixie Chicks have been mostly blacklisted from country radio ever since singer Natalie Maines criticized President Bush, despite the fact that the group's album "Taking The Long Way" is one of the biggest sellers in country music this year. The Miami Herald reports that "ticket sales in Red States have been sluggish throughout the tour."
The Rotten Eggs
Clever article title too.
Mickey D's might be hiring, Natalie. Ever used a spatula??
Yeah, in blue states.
I think this is the first form of a boycott that I have seen that has actually worked to a degree. I believe they can redeem themselves if Natalie writes a song on the next album entitled, "I am a stupid Hick Chick" or " I desrve to be called a Bitch" or " I should never have opened my big fat country mouth" as an apology to the country and to her fans.
I would love to be in the room when their accountant tells the three signers how many millions of dollars they lost. And I bet Bill Clinton will do all he can to try and console Natalie.
Florida is taking its red label seriously.
if they can't produce in a place named after the St. Pete Times, you know they're in trouble. This could very well be a sign of a cultural watershed. Who's sinking faster, the MSM or the leftist entertainment industry?
"Dixie Chicks' Shut Up and Sing" film??? How ironic! If only they took their own advice.
Wow....a falsehood and plagiarism in the same quote!
Allowing some promotion? Attention Chickies: that's what a tour is supposed to be! Bad luck if nobody's interested in the promotion.
'Shut Up And Sing' is already taken. It's the title of Laura Ingraham's popular book. I hope Laura takes action on this one.
It's obvious that the Chickies think that the 'outlaw' image is the way forward and no doubt their documentary will feature some serious self-pity and paranoia.
The Chicks misinterpret their "passionate" fan base at their own peril.
The Dixie Chicks FOUL THEIR coop.
Might have helped if her mother had used one.
On Natalies overdeveloped backside, to eliminate the now overdeveloped selfindulged ego.
The French wine industry is in a shambles.
George Soros should come to the rescue and purchase all the tickets for a concert or two.
Well, your career seems to be "phasing out" rather quickly.
Too bad. They are a talented bunch..."Travelin' Soldier" is one of my favorite songs.
It's too bad that these idiots can't simply shut up and entertain.
I love New York state wines. I am so glad to hear that French wine is still suffering.
I think their 15 minutes of fame was done hours ago.
August 5, 2006, 5:25 am] "Nashville Dixie Chicks Concert Postponed
Isn't that because they pee in their wine?
Oh, so it's "overly" passionate, eh?
Do the Ditzy Dips even know what their words mean?
Seriously, last year the French were giving away bottles of wine at toll booths. They have been using it as fuel too.
'Shut Up And Sing' is already taken. It's the title of Laura Ingraham's popular book.
I don't think you can copyright the title of a book.
They're not losing audience, they've just become more selective in choosing their fans..
Let's give them some alternative titles for their "documentary". I like "Chicken S--t".
I believe it wasn't the comments about Bush that alienated their fan base as much as some of their insulting comments about their fans in an interview some time later.
They truly are the Ditzy CHicks.
the Forum is located in downtown Tampa and is about a 3-iron from the Tampa Tribune headquarters, which is a more conservative newspaper. We Freepers here in Tampa still call the building the Ice Palace
That's what they said in an interview a few months ago. Doh!
Where are the trial lawyers in that graphic?
August 5, 2006, 5:25 am] "Nashville Dixie Chicks Concert Postponed
"Why don't they "fly the coop" all the way to Iran?"
Sounds like a good idea and Maines could take her Iranian husband with her.
And, they are no longer Chicks, look at them, they are aging Hens.
Yesterday, I drove by the AAC here in Dallas and they had a big promotion on their screen for the Chick's concert here in December.
I bet that concert will end up getting "re-routed" as well.
And Natalie isn't fat, she's just big boned.
Interesting you mention that because just over a week ago Colin Cowherd on his radio show on ESPN Radio (The Herd with Colin Cowherd) was not thrilled that Prince was going to perform at the next Super Bowl halftime show; he openly wondered if it was possible for the Dixie Chicks to perform during the Super Bowl (either pregame or halftime show) and his producer Chadd "The Compass" Scott promptly shot down that idea, say that after the Janet Jackson debacle at a Super Bowl halftime show the NFL would NEVER invite anyone controversial to perform at the Super Bowl. Given the fact that the Dixie Chicks are intensely disliked in the South, Texas and the Midwest, I'm not surprised at Scott's comments.
SenecaLake WineTrail, check it out...
Please keep us posted.
1st of its kind to work?
Let's for example take france, and Americas boycott of french wines.
If you listen to french winemakers bemoaning the rapid loss of American sales of high end french wines you may change your thoughts.
Until a year ago I had a service company that serviced grocery stores and I would talk to wine representatives and discuss whether they thought there was a decline in french wine consumption by their customers and they were emphatic, YES.
My thoughts exactly!
