Below are some of the questions sent to ASHA about sexually transmitted infections. Click on the + to see the answers from our experts.
After having lots of pain when I'd urinate, I was worried I might have something like gonorrhea so I went to my clinic and was diagnosed with Mycoplasma genitalium. What is it? I never heard of it! How do you get it? They gave me some pills and said it would be ok, so does it go away? What can it do to you?
Diagnosis with men involves a swab or the urethra or a urine test. M gen is usually detected in women from a swab of the cervix. The infection is curable with antibiotics, typically azithromycin or moxifloxacin.
As for the effects: urethritis in males (including the hard to shake variety) is probably the best documented condition associated with M gen. Less is known about the effects of M gen in women, but evidence suggests the infection may be associated with inflammation of the cervix (cervicitis) and Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (infections involving the uterus, fallopian tubes, or ovaries). There may also be a link with infertility in females, but this isn't well established. Similarly, more research is needed to understand the impact of M gen on pregnant women and their infants.

As a gay man I hear a great deal about testing for HIV and hepatitis; what about other STIs? Please tell me what tests I should be thinking about.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommend the following tests at least once each for men who have sex with men (MSM):
MSM are also recommended to be tested for hepatitis B, and to get vaccines against hepatitis A and hepatitis B. Additionally, HPV vaccines are recommended for both males and females up to age 26.
Depending on your own risk factors, more frequent testing may be recommended. Talk to your healthcare provider about sexual health, and ask them what tests they think you should have. For help finding a clinic in tune with your needs, visit the Gay and Lesbian Medical Association online.

Trichomoniasis or "trich" is actually a parasite (called Trichomonas vaginalis) and is perhaps the most common, curable sexually transmitted infection among young women. An estimated 7-8 million cases of trich occur in the U.S. each year. Trich doesn't get much as much publicity as other STI because we're just beginning to learn how important it is.
Trich probably deserves more attention. It can cause an unpleasant discharge, and a lot of vaginal irritation. Trich always stays in the vagina so it doesn't cause infections in other parts of a woman's body. However, trich is associated with both premature delivery and low birth weight babies. Also, people with trich get infected more easily with STIs like chlamydia and HIV, and trich makes it easier to transmit these infections to others. Untreated trich infections can last months or even years, without causing any symptoms.
One of the things we've learned about trich is how to do a better job with diagnosis. For many years, the diagnosis was made by using a microscope to look for the parasite in the vaginal fluid. Unfortunately, this test often misses the diagnosis. More recently, much more accurate tests have become available. Men get trich too but usually don't have any symptoms. So, men usually find out from a sex partner.
Trich is curable, but it can come back unless both partners are treated before they have sex again. Treatment should be taken even if there are no symptoms of trich. The antibiotics used to treat trich (they are called metronidazole or tinidazole) work very well. However, some trich has become more resistant to these antibiotics, so it's important to take all of the medication that is prescribed, make sure partners are treated, and get checked again if the symptoms come back (or don't go away).

I am a 23-year old woman, one steady partner now but a couple of lovers in the last year or so. I had a urine test for chlamydia that was (thankfully) okay and said I don't have it. I've had anal sex, too, and didn't mention that to the people at the clinic. Would the test I had also pick up on chlamydia in the anus or rectum?
Chlamydia is perhaps the most commonly reported infectious disease in the U.S., with over a million cases reported to the CDC annually. In reality, many cases of chlamydia are undiagnosed and unreported, so the true number of new cases each year (known as "incidence") is probably closer to 3 million.
This bacterial infection is especially common in young women and is also common in young men. Sexually active adults with multiple sex partners and those who do not use condoms regularly also have increased rates of infection. Usually there are no tell-tale signs nor symptoms of infection to let you know, so you were smart to get tested. In fact, it's recommended that all sexually active females under age 26 be tested each year for chlamydia.
We now have very accurate swab and urine tests for chlamydia using Nucleic Acid Amplification Technology (NAAT). However, a urine test will only detect chlamydia infection of the urethra or genital tract; to check for chlamydia infection in someone who has had receptive anal intercourse, a swab sample must be taken from the rectum which can be done easily and with little or no discomfort. The same NAAT test can be used to test this swab and tell you if you have a rectal infection. A different swab can also be used to test the throat to see if there is a chlamydia infection due to oral sex if you have had that exposure as well.
It can be hard, I know, but it would be a good idea to let your healthcare providers know you've had anal sex and/or oral sex (believe me, you won't be the first to tell them that!) so additional tests can be ordered. Also, an HIV test is always a good idea for anyone who's sexually active, for example.
--Gary Richwald, MD, MPH
My doctor tested me for trich by taking a swab from my vagina, and then tested my urine for chlamydia. I don't understand why I needed two tests. My friend was tested for a bunch of STIs and said they used a swab for her to test for trich, chlamydia, and gonorrhea.
There are several ways to test for Trichomonas ("trich") and different providers may use different methods. Trichomonas is a motile one-cell parasite which can be viewed in a "wet preparation" of a vaginal swab on a slide under the microscope by the clinician. It is diagnosed by its motion on the slide under the magnification of the microscope.
Another way to detect it is to take a vaginal swab and send it to the laboratory for culture, which is a method to grow it; it is a little more sensitive than viewing it directly on a wet prep.
Recently, there is a new molecular test that is much more sensitive (more accurate) than "wet prep" or culture that amplifies the DNA from the swab or urine or a liquid PAP specimen. This is much like PCR or polymerase chain reaction that is powerful method for diagnosing infections. Tests for chlamydia, gonorrhea, and trichomonas can all be performed from a single swab or from urine using the new molecular method. Your doctor may have needed a separate swab for trichomonas if she/he was using a wet prep or culture method. The number of swabs (or use of urine) all depends on the type test the doctor is using.

How does a person get hepatitis C? I thought it had to be inherited or you had to come into contact with someone who has it, like with an open wound. I was told I tested positive for hepatitis C but we have no family history of this infection?
You are correct you have to come in contact with someone who has it. There are several types of hepatitis and unlike some other conditions (such as high blood pressure or diabetes, for example) none of them –including hepatitis C - are infections you get because a family history makes you more susceptible. Because hepatitis C virus is a virus it can be transmitted through exposure to infected blood. For example, when injecting drug users share needles or syringes. The virus can be transmitted mother-to-child if a pregnant woman is infected. Rarely, hepatitis C is transmitted through sexual contact (hepatitis B is much more likely to be acquired sexually). It's also possible to contract hepatitis C thorough blood or organ transplants, although this is rare in the U.S. since updated precautions went into place in the early 1990s.
Most individuals with hepatitis C (about 80%) do not have signs or symptoms. Hepatitis targets the liver. Liver disease progresses so slowly that a person can have hepatitis C for years without having symptoms. Many individuals with chronic hepatitis C have mild to moderate liver damage but do not feel sick. The possible symptoms for an acute infection (newly acquired or short-term) and a chronic (long-term or persistent) infection are different.
Unlike hepatitis B, there is no vaccine for hepatitis C. Treatment may differ depending on the stage of illness at the time treatment is sought. Your healthcare provider can help you make the best decisions about your treatment based upon your individual health needs. People with acute viral hepatitis experience a self-limited illness (one that runs a defined, short course) and go on to recover completely. Relatively few people seek medical care for acute HCV, since most individuals are have no symptoms or have only mild, flu-like symptoms. Contact your healthcare provider for more information.

I just took the treatment for chlamydia yesterday (I think azithromycin). I forgot about the doctor's instructions and drank a bit of beer, about half a cup. Is this going to affect the treatment?
The short answer to your question is that a small quantity of alcohol (beer) taken about the same time as a dose of azithromycin should not cause a problem or make the treatment less effective.
Azithromycin (common trade name, Zithromax® or Z-Pak) may be taken either with or without food, but should not be taken within 2 hours of using antacids that contain aluminum or magnesium.
Your concern and question are good because alcoholic beverages do cause interactions with some medications, and you should know this information and follow the instructions of your doctor or pharmacist carefully.
--James Allen, MD, MPH
Co-infection with chlamydia occurs frequently among those who have gonorrhea, hence the two antibiotics. Most experts advise waiting a week after treatment, but you and your partner were both likely to have enough antibiotics in your system to have cured gonorrhea and avoid reinfection. Consistent condom use is a good idea and highly effective in preventing future infections. The 2010 CDC STD Treatment Guidelines recommend retesting for gonorrhea three months following treatment, so this is something you can do.
--Versie Johnson-Mallard, PhD, RN, APRN, WHNP-BC
I was reading a fact sheet on bacterial vaginosis (BV) and it stated "BV can increase a woman's susceptibility to other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) such as herpes, chlamydia and gonorrhea." I don't understand how BV can increase susceptibility to STIs. Please advise.
One of the hallmarks of BV is the absence of a specific type of bacteria that defines the healthy vagina: certain species of lactobacillus (sometimes also called lactobacilli). The lactobacilli found in the healthy vagina are generally found only in humans (meaning you can't get them by eating or douching with dairy products, like yogurt!) and often produce chemicals that act like antibiotics to fend off foreign invaders, including STDs like chlamydia and gonorrhea. One of these chemicals is hydrogen peroxide.
In BV, the normally robust population of vaginal lactobacilli essentially disappear, for reasons that are not completely understood, and are replaced by large numbers of bacteria that characterize BV, including Gardnerella vaginalis. While we think that some behaviors probably increase a woman's risk of BV, including douching (which probably reduces the good lactobacilli if it's done frequently) and unprotected sex (sometimes with a specific partner, and especially between female sex partners), we don't really know what causes BV.
The best way to avoid getting BV is to avoid douching, use precautions to increase sexual safety as you would to protect yourself against any STD, and to seek care if you notice abnormal vaginal discharge or an unusual genital odor. BV usually responds well to antibiotic therapy, which can be given as oral medication (pills) or vaginal gel or cream for 5-7 days; however, many women will experience a repeat episode, and some might need to go on long-term suppressive therapy (usually vaginal antibiotic gel twice a week) to keep it at bay.
--Jeanne Marrazzo, MD, MPH
Would you please tell me how long a person can have trichomoniasis and carry it? Could it have been passed on almost three months with only light symptoms?
This is such a common question that it is surprising how little we know about the answer. No one knows exactly how long someone can have vaginal trichomoniasis with few or no symptoms. We do know that women can have this infection for at least three months without symptoms of any kind, and we know that it can be transmitted to a sex partner even when it is causing no symptoms.
The diagnosis of trichomoniasis often raises questions for couples about their partner's faithfulness. Although trichomonas is always transmitted by sexual contact, the fact that trichomonas can survive for several months, maybe even longer, means that an infection could have been acquired in a previous sexual relationship that ended several months earlier.
It's also important to remember that men can have trichomonas but almost never have symptoms. And, we know next to nothing about how long some men may have trichomonas. It's also important to know that making a diagnosis of trichomonas infection in men can be very difficult. Click here to learn more about trichomonas infection.
--J. Dennis Fortenberry, MD, MS
It's always a good idea to get tested if you learn that a current or previous partner has been diagnosed with a sexually transmitted infection (STI). Testing is particularly important for chlamydia because it is a common STI, especially in younger people, and most women don't experience symptoms, so there really is no way of knowing if you have it. For this reason ASHA, the CDC, and most experts recommend that women 26 years and younger have annual chlamydia screenings – or more frequently if they are at high risk for an STI (such as having unprotected sex, multiple partners, or even a new partner).
Testing for chlamydia is easy; most often the specimen is a urine sample or swab. Chlamydia is easily treated, but if it goes undiagnosed over time it can cause fertility problems - something you might not be thinking about right now but will want to protect for the future. Your partner's clinic was right to advise that you get tested, and you can be thankful that your partner told you he had been infected. You should also notify any other partners you have been with recently.
Please don't let the costs of medical care stand in the way of taking care of yourself and your future. Your local health department probably has an STI clinic, or you may want to contact community resource centers to learn about free clinics or subsidized health services that can offer lower rates for these tests (you can search here). Also, prevention of chlamydia and other STIs continues to be important for you and your partner.
--James Allen, MD, MPH
I've heard that gonorrhea can't be cured anymore. Is this true and if so, what do people do when they're diagnosed?
Some strains of gonorrhea have been found to be resistant to certain drugs (known as antibiotic resistance), so much so that only one class of antibiotics (called cephalosporins) is now recommended to treat the infection. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) STD Treatment Guidelines call for most cases of gonorrhea to be treated with a single 250 mg injection with the antibiotic ceftriaxone. If this is not an option, two antibiotics from the cephalosporin class of drugs can be used (one delivered as an injection and the other as an oral medication).
Resistance is a worry, to be sure, and CDC monitors resistant gonorrhea each year through reports from each region of the country. To date (summer 2013) there are no reports of treatment failures in the U.S. with medications currently recommended for gonorrhea.
So while gonorrhea can still be effectively treated and cured, public health officials continue to keep a close watch on the issue. The latest information is available at http://www.cdc.gov/std/Gonorrhea/arg/basic.htm.

Pawnshops See Weird On The Rise
August 22, 2011 by UPI - United Press International, Inc.
DETROIT, Aug. 20 (UPI) — Pawn shop owners in Michigan say that tough times brings out stranger items that customers want to sell.
"With people being so desperate, they bring in anything hoping to get something," said Rick Green, manager of Highland Park pawn shop Aaron's Jewelry and Loan Inc.
"People are desperate," echoed Susie Ansara, owner of We Buy Everything, a store in Farmington Hills, Mich.
As a sign of the times, Ansara said she has had customers offer to sell her the shoes they wear into the store.
The pawn shop owners have seen an increase in mounted animal heads, gold teeth, and recently, at one store, a 25-foot white shark, The Detroit News reported Saturday.
Behavioral psychologist Matt Wallaert at Churnless, a digital product consulting firm, said it may be good for business for pawn shops to buy odd items now that will be valuable when the economy recovers.
"The golden rule of business is buy low and sell high, and that's just what pawn shop owners are doing," Wallaert said.
It all brings to mind the infamous Hunter S. Thomspon quote: "When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro."

Otter Creek scores big at international beer festivalStaff Report | November 19,2012Vyto Starinskas / Staff FILE Photo
Otter Creek beer is poured at the Killington Brewfest earlier this year where hundreds of people turned out to taste regional beers and to listen to live bands.Otter Creek Brewing Co. of Middlebury took home gold, silver and two bronze medals at the 16th annual Great International Beer Festival earlier this month in Providence, R.I.
A panel of 83 judges selected winners in 44 categories after blind tasting 470 beers and ciders from around the globe.
Included in the medal count were Otter Creek's flagship Copper Ale, which took a silver medal in the German Altbier category. The newly released Hop Session Ale scored a bronze in the American Pale Ale category.
Also, Stovepipe Porter scored a bronze medal in the Brown Porter category.
Wolaver's Fine Organic Ales, a member of Otter Creek Brewing Company, won gold with their Wolaver's Unfiltered Brown Ale.
"Everyone here at the brewery was extremely pleased to hear that we brought four medals back to Vermont. We spend a huge deal of time refining recipes, and tweaking materials and processes to produce better beer every day," Mike Gerhart, Otter Creek brewmaster, said in a release announcing the awards.
"It comes back full circle when a blind tasting in a competition of this size and caliber reinforces that you are indeed making the right decisions."MORE IN National / World BusinessNEW YORK Worries about the outlook for growth in China and a slide in the price of oil pushed...

The performances on this recording are an accurate reflection of the music. At best, they are full of subtle colour and strange, sometimes unsettling atmosphere. Miriam Kramer and Nicholas Durcan are both very good in the Mythes, weaving eerie magic from Szymanowski's inventive writing for both instruments. The third piece, Dryades et Pan, with its meandering, quixotic lines and its constant shifts of character, from earthily seductive to supernaturally ethereal, is wonderfully well played, with Kramer sounding almost like a theremin at times in her shimmying portamentos and sinuous chromatic passages.
Not all of these works share such variety. Kramer brings an unsubtle relentlessness to much of the Tarantella, although hardly playing at the requested 'presto appassionato'. The Sonata suffers most. This early work carries a good deal of white-heat Romanticism, in which niceties of contrast and restraint come poor seconds to excessive emotional striving, which is matched by Kramer in a powerful performance marked by big, fast vibrato. Her playing is notable for the superb handling of Szymanowski's long, intricately contoured lines, where no singer could breathe for minutes on end. But for such highly coloured music the playing is ultimately rather unvarying. Kramer makes amends at the end of the CD with a supple and eloquent account of Roxana's song from King Roger.
The recording, unfortunately, is not helpful, being so close in that lets it us hear the hiss of the bowhair on the string, while depriving us of the richness of sound which it probably produced.

Q. What are you anticipating most about your job at UW-Superior?
A. "I am most looking forward to working at a university that embodies the true liberal arts experience. The facilities, resources, and programs available to teachers and students reflect the university's commitment to engaged and experiential learning, and I am eager to work with the many programs on campus to facilitate this component of a liberal arts education at UW-Superior."
Q. What's your favorite topic to teach?
A. "My favorite topic to teach is women in politics, and specifically the impact of gender on governmental processes and institutions. Exposing students to the realities of political power and the impact of identity provides real-world application of the theoretical approaches that often seem irrelevant to their political experiences."
Q. What message do you have for your students?
A. "The experiences from one's college years can be the greatest years of a persons' life, leading to more than just a degree and a job. To have the greatest experience possible, students should use all of the on- and off-campus resources available, enjoy campus events and activities, and make every effort to connect with their teachers and fellow students. A complete educational experience begins in the classroom, but requires engagement in experiential learning at the university-level as well as within the larger community."

The order seems a bit off though...
#10 is a pretty sweet anticipation-pass alley oop from out of bounds, from Nic to Meyers, it's really only #10? Deserves way better. He had 5 seconds to find the play, and he hit the pass perfectly to where Leonard met it in the air by the rim.
#9 Dame fights through not one but TWO double teams, splits 2 defenders in midair, AND double clutches before putting it in the bucket. #9 is wayyyyy too low for that kind of skillful maneuver.
#8 is the sloppiest assist of the entire season, the off-the-backboard pass from Batum to Leonard. Sure it was funny, but it wasn't technical, it wasn't smooth, and it wasn't even appropriate in the game. THIS should be #10, without question.
#6 Batum hits the DOUBLE OT GAME WINNER from the corner off an inbounds pass, IN Cleveland. If I remember correctly, this is after he hit almost the same shot earlier to end the game, but it was ruled a 2 instead of a 3, isn't that right? This is one of the best buckets by any Blazer the entire season. I don't understand how that play doesn't make top 5, especially since #5 and #2 are fairly basic fast-break assist-dunks.
#2 We have a 3 on 2 fastbreak, Dame gives the easy bounce pass to JJ as he drives down the lane and throws down a 2-hand posterizing dunk. Ok sure, it's a fun dunk, and JJ certainly flew, especially for JJ... but #2? Not that technical, not that hard while on the fast break and against a mismatched defender. Love ya Hickson, but that was overrated.
#1 Dame's game winner off the screen from Babbitt was awesome. Definitely deserves #1... but again, this is so similair to Batum's buzzer beater in Cleveland (except for the 2OT's, and Batum didn't get to set up for the shot like Dame did), it makes no sense that this is #1 and Nico's is all the way down to #6.
Posted 07/08/2013 4:30 PM
And looking at it again, how is the top 3 not made up of our 3 stars hitting their buzzer beaters? Batum's doubleOT inbounds touch-shot, LaMarcus' turning fadeaway to beat Dallas AGAIN, and Dame's 3 off the Babbitt screen, those 3 plays are without a doubt the most technical, in-the-clutch-moment and talent-based plays on the entire list. THOSE are the 3 best plays of the year.
You're welcome :P

I ordered the nudes in size 8 and they are a bit big (the heel part slouches). It's mainly because they're so high so your foot sort of slips down. It's no biggie, I can just put some insoles in or something. They are so beautiful in person that it doesn't even matter. Seriously sexy heels and a fashion trend must!

Jean Thibault & Cami
I had a NEADS service dog. His name was, Seltzer. He was an answer to prayer. He was an extraordinary dog that loved to learn new things. He helped with the laundry, pulled my socks off (when I asked him to), helped with the mail and picked up items for me (for instance, my car keys). He had a good spirit about him. He went almost everywhere with me. I was able to take him to work. He helped many people who were going through a hard time feel better and they were able to talk. He drew people to us everywhere we went. I enjoyed talking to people. It opened me up to be able to talk and make new friends. But sadly, Seltzer passed away recently.
I was recently matched with Cami, my new service dog and she is so helpful! I look forward to building a relationship. I think one of the most rewarding things is the companionship a person develops with their dog. There really are no words to explain the understanding you have because you know your dog and the dog knows you. I think God made it that way.
It would be wonderful if you could help toward the cost of Cami. It is a big goal to reach. However, with the assistance of others chipping in makes the goal easier to reach. NEADS is a great organization that has helped people with disabilities regain confidence. Yes, people with disabilities do matter. Thank you.

Willow's point of view
When the train station finally came into view,I almost passed out with relief. My legs were aching, my head was pounding, all I wanted was to sit and rest; which I could do easily on a train. Acantha steered me towards the ticket booth and bought two tickets on the 13:45 train to Seattle. It was only just turned one. I looked at my companion "So we've got time to kill." I stated. She rolled her eyes "we have absolutely no time to kill, we're late!" I gave her a puzzled look but she dragged me off to platform 6. Our tickets were for platform 9! "Acantha-" I started to say "No, Willow. Save it for the train." I know a hopeless case when I see one, so I kept my mouth shut. A train pulled into platform 6, and in the midst of a huge crowd, three men started walking towards us. They were roughly the same size, but stugk out like a sore thumb.The middle one stood out the most- he was the best looking and had bright red hair.
When they approached us, the red haired one spoke "What's the deal, Acantha, Whose the girl?" She looked at him with icy eyes and said "I'll explain on the train." It took us a full half hour to reach platform 9, as it was on the other side of the station. We sat in the train for a bit and watched the red haired guy take out a 'reserved' sign and place it on the glass of the carriage door. He sat down. "So." He said "It looks like someone's got some explaining to do." Acantha said to him "Willow, this is Gerard, Mikey and Ray." Each one nodded at the mention of their name "And guys, this is Willow. She's a new vampire and Hank wants her to evaccuate. Oh Willow- FYI, vampires are prohibited in California. So, we're taking you to Seattle, We're the guys and I were trained." She went on and on explaining everything. It turned out, I was going to a place called the Trilby Academy, a place where new vampires were trained for what they were created for- world domination. And I wasn't killing everyone because the thirst takes a few days to kick in, apparently. But that part didn't matter.World domination.It sounded so evil, I mean there were innocent people out there! My family... that I knew nothing about... would die. I knew that wouldnt affect me because I didnt remember them, but still! They were innocent people! Or were they? I knew nothing of the world! This was so confusing! In the end, I just let the gentle rythm of the train take me into a world of sleep.

Gifts under rugby's trees
In a spirit of goodwill, SA Rugby takes a light-hearted look at what might be under a few Christmas trees this year! Merry Christmas!
Eben Etzebeth - A T-shirt with 'I'm a nice guy really' in big pink letters on the front, and on the back, a full-length colour portrait of himself adorned with a litter of adoring beagle puppies.
Pat Lambie - A fake ID
Heyneke Meyer - One injury-free card for 2013. Also a shatterproof walkie talkie. The Springbok coach has smashed quite a few of these communication devices while trying to issue instructions to his troops in 2012.
John Mitchell - A three-week anger management voucher at Coca-Cola Park.
Schalk Burger - Body armour, so he can try see out at least 10 minutes of 2013 on the rugby pitch.
Morne Steyn - A framed picture of Heyneke Meyer and himself when the former was coach of the Bulls, with the message: 'No hard feelings x'
Juan de Jongh - An invitation to perform as one of Justin Bieber's back-up dancers for the singer's upcoming tour to SA.
The Lions - New players, new sponsors, new tournament...
Juandre Kruger - French dictionary for his move to France
The Sharks - A pair of scissors to cut off their chokers tag.
IRB Player of the Year selection committee - A pair of binoculars will be the ideal gift for this panel, to help them pick a shortlist of the game's best players!
Nick Mallett - A job as a head coach as his rugby knowledge is currently going to waste as a television analyst.
Southern Kings - A calculator will be of great help for the newest team in the Super Rugby competition. It seems that the Port Elizabeth-based outfit is going to need that because their officials have already signed four foreign players when the South African Rugby Union only allows two per squad. They could also use it as some of their opponents are set to notch some cricket scores against them.

VILAS COUNTY (WAOW) - Snowmobilers, start your engines. The state funded snowmobile trail system in Vilas County is opening up Monday at noon.
According to a press release from Vilas County Snowmobile Program Coordinator Dale Mayo there is minimal snow on the trails.
Riders may find rough areas, icy patches and wet segments in low-lying areas. Mayo says riders should not cross lakes until the routes are clearly marked.

Hello, Camaro Comrades and Firebird Friends............
(I'm typing this on my laptop aboard a Delta Flight to Philadelphia - and I'm looking forward to spending some time with some of you at the Philadelphia Autoshow tomorrow.........)
----The adage "Some things never change" - is most appropriate when referring to the passion that Camaro (and Firebird) Enthusiasts show toward these legendary brands.
I've had the privilege to visit with you (either in person or on the internet) about all things Camaro since the early 90s........including the time while our beloved Camaro went on hiatus......
Ever since the world caught a glimpse of the Camaro Concept on January 9th, 2006, Camaro Enthusiast websites/clubs have been some of the busiest on the 'net.
And there certainly hasn't been a shortage of controversy.
.....There was the headlight debacle - where people saw spy shots of very early alpha and beta 'mules' with quad headlamps, not realizing -- or believing -- that they were only placeholders (--- we have to have headlamps for night testing, right??) .........it got so bad that I had one of our moderators on Camaro5 design a special smilie with a sign that read "NOT THE REAL HEADLIGHTS!"
There was the first camera-phone shot of a white coupe in a facility that some 'well-meaning' individual posted - which made the car look ungainly. I recall a few dozen 'hate mails' that I received shortly thereafter asking me if we (Chevrolet) had lost our collective minds. I asked people to calm down - they'd love what they saw when we were ready to show the new Camaro in all its glory.
There was the 'B-Pillar panic' - where a whole lot of people told me that the B-Pillar would be a deal-killer and they would not buy a new Camaro.
(I'm pleased to report that most of those very people are suffering from "perma-grin" as they drive their new Camaros and enjoy miles of smiles......)
There was the 'SS front fascia fiasco' - where legions of enthusiasts SWORE that they'd tear the SS fascia off of their new Camaros and replace them with a replacement fascia from the V6 model.
(......and for the record.... I do not know of anyone who has actually carried through with that threat........)
.......and many more of these 'moments'.........
And there's a side of me that loves every one of these 'Panics' -- because it allows us to continually see the passion that you hold for these automobiles.........
There's also a part of me that worries about the damage done when people jump to conclusions..........and to witness just how upset some can get.....
Lately, there have been numerous threads concerning what we may -- or may not be -- working on in terms of additional Camaro models. And with the advent of the Internet, it's pretty hard to keep secrets........no matter how hard we try, information manages to leak - most of the time by well-meaning individuals ---
No matter where we test future products, there is invariably an enthusiast or two nearby with a camera or camera/phone at the ready. And thus, we have the 'panics' like the above................
The past year finds many, many threads on many many different Camaro/Firebird sites surrounding a "secret" High Performance Camaro.
Lots of pictures in camouflage....
Lots of conjecture as to what the engine might be....
........ Many arguments on what this car might be called........
Now -- assuming that we're working on such a beast.......no matter WHAT we call it, we're going to unwittingly anger some of our enthusiasts.
And that's unfortunate.
I've actually had multiple emails and IMs stating "Mr Settlemire (...in some case followed by a string of expletives......) -- if you call this new Camaro a/an (--insert nameplate here--) - - I will never buy another GM product!"
Some claim that if we call it (...insert another name here) -- we'll be responsible for some sort of catastrophe............
That, my friends, is true passion for the brand.
Here's what I CAN tell you:
>We take each of your opinions very seriously.
............... And we take your loyalty very seriously. The consumer today has nearly 400 nameplates from which to choose....and we don't take your choice to buy one of our cars or trucks lightly.....we want to keep you as a customer for life.
>Team Camaro will NEVER be satisfied. No matter how good the product, there will ALWAYS be room for improvement, be it in terms of performance, appearance, comfort - you name it, we strive to continually improve it.
> I've never seen another team (other than Corvette) that lives the product 24/7/365....and I do mean LIVE it............the product is all-consuming.
>Whatever new models we might bring forth to you, please know that we expect them to be the BEST -- with features and driving pleasure that are designed to give you a real good case of (as one of our Disciples, Tim, calls) ....."Perma-Grin."
>We do not share details with you - because, while we may want to, we also know that this is a very competitive business. A quick review of the auto industry in the past three years tells you just HOW competitive it can be...and the last thing we want is for our friendly competitors to know what we have up our collective sleeves. Similarly, they want to keep their work a secret. That's the nature of this business.
So - know that we're always working to make the Camaro better in every way.
We're beyond delighted that Camaro outsold Mustang this past year.......and this with Coupe models only - versus Mustang with its coupes, convertibles, and GT-500 models. That said-- we know that Mustang (and Challenger) are very serious and worthy contenders - and we can ill afford to take our eyes off of them for even one second.............
So - know that we are listening......know that we are looking at every little detail........and know that no matter WHAT we might call any future models or special editions.........you can COUNT on it that it will remain "The Great American - (...and Canadian!..) Thrill ride.
I've asked you many times before to "Have Faith" -- especially when most of you thought the Camaro had gone away forever - And you kept that faith. I ask you to once again know that we are dedicated to designing, engineering, and building the world's best cars and trucks. And we mean it.
Thanks for listening -- and more importantly - thank you for your passion, loyalty, enthusiasm -- and yes - - thank you for "Keeping the Faith"

- Very Good on all countsckmd25VIPDined on 9/30/2014We go to Boulder each month to have dinner here, and last night we enjoyed ourselves even more than before. The food, as usual, was quite tasty. We both had the Gazpacho, Pansotti (ravioli), Cernia (Grouper), and Doughnuts for desert. The Gazpacho and pansotti were especially delicious. The Grouper had an excellent preparation of sun-dried tomatoes and olives, however, the Grouper itself was not the greatest...but their preparation mostly made up for this. The doughnuts were underwhelming, but perhaps my expectation for them to be warm played a role in this. But in the past their desserts have been delicious, so I think this was an exception. The service was friendly and the owner is always very accomadating. For CO., it's one of the best.Special Features:
- Good but far from greatJm96Dined on 9/26/2014The welcome was exceptional - we were greeted by the owner himself. The service and attention was above average. The food was flavourful and well presented but the limitations of the menu were beyond annoying: obligation to partake in the 4-course plan, unwillingness of kitchen to serve certain items if the whole table did not partake, poor vegetarian options) All in all Frasca was a good but not great experience and not worth the $$$ bill payed.Special Features:
- Nice place but over pricedyoungoneDined on 9/24/2014Enjoyed dinner but did not find it worth the price especially when open table add gives it a 35-50 dollar price setting and dinners are 78 to 105. This said the menu was available with correct prices so there is a discontinuity between open table info and meny. Service was good and very attentive. If you strongly value your wine selection Frascas has a very good selection. Construction around restaurant also is a negative as it destracts from the area. Different servings varied from good to very good with the very good ones being the ones you paid extra for so spend the extra money and go all in if you want the best food.Special Features:
- Anniversary DinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 9/18/2014We chose to go on the high end for our anniversary on both the dinner menu and the wine offerings and it was well worth it. The seven course meal was excellent and the wines were of high quality and perfect for various dishes. We will recommend this fine restaurant to friends.Special Features:
- WowDineReservedDined on 9/17/2014I know why Frasca is so highly rated by everyone. Everything was fantastic. it was the best diining experience that I have had in a long time. The food was sublime. The service was gracious and accommodating. I feel like we were fortunate to get a reservation only a few days prior to dining. Thanks for the personal touches regarding the special occasion that was being celebrated.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- One of the best!JessicaMcVIPDined on 9/13/2014We have enjoyed fine dining all over this country and around the world. It simply does not get any better than Bobby Stuckey and his team of professionals at Frasca. Our tasting-menu experience was a delight in every way.Special Features:
- Keeps getting betterSooner52Dined on 9/11/2014We've eaten here now three times since we moved to the Boulder area. The service is extremely friendly and very knowledgeable. The food and wine are outstanding. The romance is provided by ourselves. But put super food with great service and an appreciation for our interest in celebration of 30 years together and Frasca is an ideal place.Special Features:
- FairOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 9/8/2014The meal was ok, however for the price and based on other recommendations, we were all disappointed.
- Even better than I rememberedalwayshungry4moreVIPDined on 9/6/2014It's not a wonder that Frasca is always at the top of the best restaurant list. The most unbelievable wine list in the state of Colorado.Special Features:
- Excellentfwlvr1VIPDined on 9/4/2014Food was fantastic on the eyes and in the mouth. Matthew was also fantastic in picking out the perfect wines.Special Features:
- Top-NotchSockoDined on 9/2/2014As most everyone knows by now, Frasca is top-notch in all aspects. If you were to find any down-side at all, it's that their serving size may be a little small for what you pay, but that is nit-picking. Service is excellent and the wine list is amazing - let Bobby pick out your wine.Special Features:
- excellentpattDined on 9/1/2014we enjoyed a Monday night wine dinner... a special this time for the end of summer Labor day with wines chosen by the wine staff.. We had a lovely 3 course meal meal with wines paired with each course and a great dessert.. They are always great with food allergies too. It was a wonderful evening and meal.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Pleasant experience-Just overpricedfoodtravelerDined on 8/30/2014Food was elegant and the service was very good, but the cost seemed outsized even by NYC standards. To use an economic term, it was below my utility curve.Special Features:
- anonVIPDined on 8/23/2014One of the best restaurants around. Amazing food, impeccable service and just an all around wonderful experience.Special Features:
- GlobaldinerVIPDined on 8/22/2014Simply put, the most amazing dining experience in Colorado.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fantastica cenaFantasticaDined on 8/21/2014Beautiful restaurant with an extraordinary menu and wine list. Service started with a bit of a stumble, but the few missteps were rescued in short order, many thanks to the extraordinary service of Jodi. The kind of place that obviously ranks customer service and food quality of the highest importance. The ravioli stuffed with ricotta and duck egg yolk is probably one of the grandest things I have ever eaten. This is the kind of dining experience one would expect to find in New York or London, an unexpected treasure in Boulder.Special Features:
- Dining at Frascacolorado2014Dined on 8/20/2014Delicious and creative food with attentive and excellent service. We would be open to trying most of the dishes on the menu as everything what we had was delicious. We enjoyed the evening, it was absolutely worthwhile experience. We highly recommend.Special Features:
- Molto BeneIrishEllieDined on 8/19/2014As always, Frasca offers a special dining experience. My daughter and I celebrated our birthdays together, along with our family.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- AwesomealexDined on 8/16/2014I'm still flavoring that food in my mouth. I can't believe that living 20 years in Denver I never went there. Their food is to die for and the service makes you feel like you're VIPSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Anniversary DinnerScottSDined on 8/15/2014The service and for are better than any place in the area.Special Features:
- Enthusiastic staffMuelhaDined on 8/15/2014Striking was the enthusiasm of the staff. Both the food and the service was superior. This was a highlight of our visit to Boulder.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Frasca remains the best!RodRDined on 8/14/2014Had a terrific anniversary dinner at Frasca with my wife and daughter last week. Remains our favorite restaurant -- anywhere. Try the new six course tasting menu with wine pairings - you'll be in incredibly capable hands! The staff is always very genuine and friendly and there appears to be very little turnover -- which says a lot about management. Matthew, the som, is the best in the biz. Thanks for a terrific night!Special Features:
- It's gone downhill.OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/12/2014Several dishes were disappointing this time. My pasta dish was a ravioli with swiss chard that was pasty and dry. The selections for dessert were not terrific. Most dessert choices were pre-prepared items (chocolates or sorbet) rather than freshly prepared items. We didn't like the wine they suggested however they offered no option. Wait staff were dour and serious. It used to be better!Special Features:
- Intimate and deliciousBlondieVIPDined on 8/9/2014Food is scrumptious. Service impeccable. We especially liked the space between tables. Frasca has opted to respect 'distance' rather than cramming their floor space with as many tables as possible. Price is not for the faint of heart though. This is a $100-$150 x head dinner depending on wine chosen. Worth it for a special occasion.
- Delicious 4 course menuTasteSensationDined on 8/7/2014Frasca has a well-deserved reputation for fine dining and did not disappoint during their 10-year anniversary celebration. The 4 course prix fixe menu featured favorites from their first decade of operations. At $78 per person (plus appetizers and drinks) it's not cheap, but delicious. Impeccable service by a cast of dozens.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Why such hype?Truegourmet1VIPDined on 8/7/2014This was my second visit to Frasca and I'm still baffled. Why is this such a highly prized resturant? The simple truth is the food, the main reason I go out to eat, does not match the level of service I get or the quality of the wine list. Both times I have left with the same feeling that the quality of the service, which is excellent, can't outweigh the disappointing food. To be fair the food is not horrible but it does not rise to the level of praise bestowed upon it.Special Features:
- 10 years old and still fabulousFoodsnobVIPDined on 8/6/2014Frasca delivers an experience to which many restaurants in major cities aspire, but with friendliness, spacious tables, superb wine selections and innovative dishes. Yes, it is more expensive than most restaurants in Boulder, so focus on the amount you will save on airfare, not to mention the carbon footprint, by not having to go to London, Paris, Chicago or New York to possibly find Frasca's equivalent.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Consistently ImpressiveAnthonyDined on 8/4/2014We have been to Frasca 5 times in as many years and we find it to be the finest restaurant in the Denver metro area. If you enjoy the experience of food and wine as an art, this is the place.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very good but VERY expensiveOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/1/2014This is an exquisite, elegant, and impressive restaurant. It is VERY expensive, however and may not satisfy everyone who wishes to dine. There are many other restaurants nearby diners would like more than this and might find a better value. Every dish we had of the seven on the tasting menu were very precise and made in an intentional way respectful to Friuli, the region in Italy that inspires Frasca's food, as well as very delicious. The wines paired with the food were equally impressive and enjoyable, matching the food perfectly. Servers are a bit sterile yet exact in manner while also efficient. Space is beautiful yet understated. If you wish to go, bring extra $$$. Fifth star is missing in review because of lack of value.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good but not as Good as Beforeckmd25VIPDined on 8/1/2014We went here for dinner on a Friday night, and as expected it was quite good. Our food was tasty but not all 5 star, my scallops were delicious but my primi was luke warm and my fish was as well, and slightly dry. But still good, just not great. To be honest. The biggest problem though was our waiter was a bit mean. Some of the dishes are in italian, as expected, but I am not fluent in italian and was less familiar with the more abstract dishes. However, this seemed to him to be exceedingly annoying. I only asked three questions about the different dishes but his terse replies and facial expressions did not hide the fact that he thought I was annoying. Well, I think I should get to ask questions when I'm paying $220 for dinner for two.
- good but not excellentTerraBrasilisDined on 7/29/2014Service was wonderful, the wine list amazing and the wait staff super attentive, however the foos didnt impress me. For the price (and yes this is an expensive restaurant) I expected more. Also - it would have been nice if the bread was warm.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- 5 Star Dinner!OpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 7/25/2014We selected this restaurant to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary, and I'm glad we did. Impeccable food and service!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- UnevenAmuseboucheDined on 7/24/2014Frasca's four-course menu can be inventive and delicious. The chef's starters were interesting. The choices were adequate. The service was slow, and our waiter wanted to go over every ingredient in every dish. The wine list is extensive; wine can be ordered in small quantities but most bottles start at $125 and above. There is no reason for that. The frustrations can ruin the evening. It was inordinately expensive and our reserved table was not ready on time; there was no waiting area. The first time was our last time here.Special Features:
- buonissimoviandieVIPDined on 7/24/2014still the best food and originality in Colorado. How do you make kingfish sashimi into one of the best appetizers. Blueberry tart was delicious. carry a fat walletSpecial Features:
- DenverGal309Dined on 7/19/2014Recently dined at Frasca in Boulder. This was our first visit to Frasca, as we live in South Denver. The evening hit 5 stars on all categories. I lost count of how many people came to our table that evening to make sure every aspect of the dining experience was perfect. The food options were varied - all tasting menu items can be ordered ala carte. The wine list was extensive and had a variety of price ranges to select from. My husband and I tried the 10 year Anniversary Tasting Menu, which was excellent. I highly recommend visiting Frasca when you are in the Boulder area for a memorable evening. Reservations are a must.Special Features:
- Fairly AverageColoradoBellDined on 7/18/2014The food was a real disappointment. I missed the wonderful complexity of flavors that rewards us in excellent chef preparations. I do not feel that by offering to remove dairy and glutenous grains from existing food dishes offers a satisfactory alternative. Chef dishes should require all the food components to capture the richness of the intended flavors. The chef missed the dessert mark entirely. His/her answer to offering a chocolate dessert dish was a plate of chocolate wrapped candies! REALLY? And as for a gluten or dairy free option, good ol' sorbet was the fall back. A really fairly average chef meal with outstanding service! We won't be back again.Special Features:
