Edarbyclor Side Effects Center
Medical Editor: John P. Cunha, DO, FACOEP
Edarbyclor (azilsartan medoxomil and chlorthalidone) is a combination of azilsartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) and chlorthalidone, a diuretic, used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). Common side effects include dizziness and fatigue.
The recommended starting dose of Edarbyclor is 40/12.5 mg taken orally once daily. Edarbyclor may interact with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), other angiotensin receptor blockers, ACE inhibitors, aliskiren, or lithium. Tell your doctor all medications and supplements you use. Edarbyclor is not recommended for use during pregnancy. It may harm a fetus. It is unknown if azilsartan passes into breast milk, but because of the potential for adverse effects on the nursing infant, consult your doctor before breastfeeding.
Our Edarbyclor (azilsartan medoxomil and chlorthalidone) Side Effects Drug Center provides a comprehensive view of available drug information on the potential side effects when taking this medication.
This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.

Edarbyclor FDA Prescribing Information: Side Effects
(Adverse Reactions)
The following potential adverse reactions with Edarbyclor, azilsartan medoxomil, or chlorthalidone and similar agents are included in more detail in the WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS section of the label:
- Fetal toxicity [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS]
- Hypotension in Volume-or Salt-Depleted Patients [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS]
- Impaired Renal Function [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS]
- Hypokalemia [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS]
- Hyperuricemia [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS]
Clinical Trials Experience
Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.
Edarbyclor has been evaluated for safety in more than 3900 patients with hypertension; more than 700 patients were treated for at least 6 months and more than 280 for at least 1 year. Adverse reactions have generally been mild and transient in nature.
Common adverse reactions that occurred in the 8-week factorial design trial in at least 2% of Edarbyclor-treated patients and greater than azilsartan medoxomil or chlorthalidone are presented in Table 1.
Table 1: Adverse Reactions Occurring at an Incidence
of ≥ 2% of Edarbyclor-treated Patients and > Azilsartan medoxomil or
|Preferred Term
|Azilsartan medoxomil 20, 40, 80 mg
|Chlorthalidone 12.5, 25 mg
|Edarbyclor 40 / 12.5, 40 / 25 mg
Hypotension and syncope were reported in 1.7% and 0.3%, respectively, of patients treated with Edarbyclor.
Study discontinuation because of adverse reactions occurred in 8.3% of patients treated with the recommended doses of Edarbyclor compared with 3.2% of patients treated with azilsartan medoxomil and 3.2% of patients treated with chlorthalidone. The most common reasons for discontinuation of therapy with Edarbyclor were serum creatinine increased (3.6%) and dizziness (2.3%).
The adverse reaction profile obtained from 52 weeks of open-label combination therapy with azilsartan medoxomil plus chlorthalidone or Edarbyclor was similar to that observed during the double-blind, active controlled trials.
In 3 double-blind, active controlled, titration studies, in which Edarbyclor was titrated to higher doses in a step-wise manner, adverse reactions and discontinuations for adverse events were less frequent than in the fixed-dose factorial trial.
Azilsartan Medoxomil
A total of 4814 patients were evaluated for safety when treated with azilsartan medoxomil at doses of 20, 40 or 80 mg in clinical trials. This includes 1704 patients treated for at least 6 months, of these, 588 were treated for at least 1 year. Generally, adverse reactions were mild, not dose related and similar regardless of age, gender and race.
Adverse reactions with a plausible relationship to treatment that have been reported with an incidence of ≥ 0.3% and greater than placebo in more than 3300 patients treated with azilsartan medoxomil in controlled trials are listed below:
Gastrointestinal Disorders: diarrhea, nausea
General Disorders and Administration Site Conditions: asthenia, fatigue
Musculoskeletal and Connective Tissue Disorders: muscle spasm
Nervous System Disorders: dizziness, dizziness postural
Respiratory, Thoracic and Mediastinal Disorders: cough
The following adverse reactions have been observed in clinical trials of chlorthalidone: rash, headache, dizziness, GI upset, and elevations of uric acid and cholesterol.
Clinical Laboratory Findings with Edarbyclor
In the factorial design trial, clinically relevant changes in standard laboratory parameters were uncommon with administration of the recommended doses of Edarbyclor.
Renal Parameters
Increased blood creatinine is a known pharmacologic effect of renin-angiotensin aldosterone system (RAAS) blockers, such as ARBs and ACE inhibitors, and is related to the magnitude of blood pressure reduction. The incidence of consecutive increases of creatinine ≥ 50% from baseline and > ULN was 2.0% in patients treated with the recommended doses of Edarbyclor compared with 0.4% and 0.3% with azilsartan medoxomil and chlorthalidone, respectively. Elevations of creatinine were typically transient, or non-progressive and reversible, and associated with large blood pressure reductions.
Mean increases in blood urea nitrogen (BUN) were observed with Edarbyclor (5.3 mg/dL) compared with azilsartan medoxomil (1.5 mg/dL) and with chlorthalidone (2.5 mg/dL).
Postmarketing Experience
The following adverse reactions have been identified during the postmarketing use of EDARBYCLOR. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.
- Nausea
- Rash
- Pruritus
- Angioedema

Best SLR Case ever
By Cindy Traveler
from Edmond,OK
I used this camera sling on a trip to Alaska. We traveled by plane (large & small), train and auto. We were in Helicopter and hiked. It was perfect for all. I hardly took it off. It protected my camera on a rough ATV trip through muddy water. And I could pull out my SLR and not miss that great shot. I even had my monopod along when I wanted. Highly recommended.
Perfect bag, unless you're small.
By Juliest
from New Brunswick, Canada
I've used the SLR sling when I'm out and about. It holds all my camera accessories, and even has a little zipped cell phone pocket conveniently located at the bottom of the shoulder strap.I absolutely adore the inset... hammock? that holds my camera securely in place without having to remove my zoom lens. The tripod straps are perfect, as is the idea of a strap to go around the waist so I don't get strangled every time I bend down to examine something. This bag is very sturdy and constructed of quality materials made to last.But there's a down side.As a woman of average height and petite build, I find my shoulder is not broad enough to seat the wide strap of this bag comfortably. This causes the whole bag to sit off-balanced the entire time I wear it, and I'm often chafed at the neck after I've worn it for a short time.If you're a smaller person like me, I do not recommend this bag.

Screen Protectors
Can anyone recommend a screen protector? After reading through some threads here, I bought a G2. It was easy enough to install (I wore surgical gloves so I wouldn't get fingerprints on it), but it's not as clear as I thought it would be. I noticed that the display was dimmer, and the pictures weren't as crisp. So, I held one up to the light (I bought a 2-pack, and yes, I did remove the film), and saw a really grainy structure to the plastic.
On the plus side, I do like how the stylus feels on it. It seems to attract more dust, but I can live with that.
So, is there a protector out there that is just a clear piece of plastic, basically? One that doesn't dim the display or reduce the sharpness (preferable one that installs like the G2, rather than stick-on)? The Clie's a T665, by the way
Thanks in advance.
I have one of these on my NX70 and on an SJ30. I'd say it's a hundred times better than the Fellowes brand. It went on without a hitch. They're reusable. They don't use an adhesive to stay on. And it has a nice writing feel to it. I wouldn't say they're completely clear, but I can hardly tell a difference in screen quality with it installed. That's just my $.02
The brando protectors of the sony branded ones are absolutley Fantastic.
The Brandos are the best by far!
If you're looking specifically for plastic , you can also try Nushields. I'm not sure how they compare to the G2s but I'm not unhappy with them.
I tried one of the Sony branded screen protectors on my NX70V and couldn't get the thing off without damaging it at the corner, making it unusable. How are you supposed to remove the thing and reuse it? Are the Sony protectors made by Brando? Are they the exact same quality, etc., as the Brando screen protectors?
I really like my NuShields. Once it's on, you can't tell you're using a protector. ;)
I've been a fan of Brando protectors on other devices (especially HandEra 330)...but on my NR70V, I had two problems. First, the Brando protectors I received didn't fit quite right--seemed to be a smidge too big and not to be trimmed at right angles--maybe just a flawed batch. Second, the device couldn't detect my stylus strokes through the protector--as if it were too thick, a problem I haven't had on other devices. Anyone else have similar experiences? As I said, I've really liked Brando protectors and am disappointed that they (or at least the ones I received) don't work well on the NR device.
Glowing screen protector, it's the best out there, only if you could wait over a month for them to arrive.
NuShield is my favorite
If you don't want a stick on screen protector then I would recommend that you try NuShield. It is thinner than the G2 and installs easier.
I have tried them both and that is really the only difference between the two.

Miley Cyrus' tour bus that carried some of her touring crew crashed just outside of Richmond, VA on Friday. Read more on the deadly bus crash below.
One of Cyrus' tour buses crashed but Miley was not on the bus.
"It was one of our tour buses, but not Miley's," her manager told TMZ. "It was one of our buses that transported our lighting crew."
The driver apparently lost control and the bus started veering off the road. The driver of the bus was killed and others on board were rushed to the hospital.
Miley Cyrus' reps say she will still perform as scheduled on Sunday.

By James Slater: One fighter's injury has led to another fighter getting a big opportunity. Lightweight Brandon "Bam Bam" Rios had to pull out of his scheduled July 7th fight with light-welterweight Maurico Herrera, which was set for The Home Depot Centre, L.A. Rios has an arm injury – and now HBO have replaced the telecast with former middleweight king Kelly Pavlik against former amateur star Will Rosinsky.
ESPN.com reports how the two super-middleweights will clash over a scheduled ten-rounds on July 7th – a night that will see a full boxing calendar (Klitschko-Thompson II, Maddalone-Fury, Kell Brook-Carson Jones, and more). Pavlik-Rosinsky will be fought at a weight no higher than 169-pounds.
Pavlik, 39-2(34) fought just last Friday, hammering out a one-sided 7th-round TKO over a game but overmatched Scott Sigmon; while Rosinksy, 16-1(9) fought even more recently: this past Thursday night.Winning an 8-round UD over Aaron Pryor Junior, the 27-year-old says he is ready to fight again in just over three weeks.
Beaten only by top contender Edwin Rodriguez – a ten-round UD loss back in October of last year – "Power," as the warrior from Ozone Park is known, has won two in a row since. Also, even though he lost all ten rounds on all three cards in the Rodriguez fight, the scoring did not accurately reflect the good, exciting action. Some people thought a draw might have been a good idea.
Rosinsky, at 5'10" will be giving away a fair amount of height and reach against the 6'2" "Ghost," but promoter Lou DiBella sees this as a tough test for Pavlik. Rosinsky has been aching for a big chance after the disappointing (and unfairly wide) points loss to Rodriguez, and he is hungry to make the most of it against Pavlik.
Rosinsky says he wasn't too impressed with Pavlik's hammering of Sigmon, and it's almost a certainty that he will test Kelly far, far harder than the club fighter. Rosinksy is tough, he has skills and he has a solid amateur background. The July fight should give us much more of an idea as to whether or not Pavlik can become a two-weight world champion.
I have to lean towards 30-year-old Pavlik, via decision. But it could be a great action fight.

Catholic Report Home
An Interview With Eduardo Verastegui, Lead Actor and Co-Producer Of The Highly Anticipated Film Bella.
Editors Note This interview was conducted over two one one hour sessions. The first interview took place in person on February 21, 2007, and by phone on September 28, 2007. After the February conversation, following my talk at Family Theater in Hollywood, Eduardo invited me to his home to preview Bella, which I had the privilege of viewing the following day. My review will soon be posted but trust me it is a film you won't want to miss.
Dave Hartline Eduardo, Bellas release is upon us after all the hard work and traveling how does it feel as the films release approaches?
Eduardo Verastegui It is so exciting. I have been preparing for this moment for five years. This movie of hope required so much sacrifice and yet here we are, the labor of love so many have worked on is about to be released.
Dave Hartline What do you want people to take from this movie?
Eduardo Verastegui I would like everyone to feel hopeful after this movie. Bella gives us all something to think about. It would be great if after seeing this movie people would love more, show true compassion, complain less and become better people overall. I also hope the movie causes people to use their God-given talents to help those whom they know and dont know.
Dave Hartline There are so many subtleties to this movie. I found it fascinating because it gave me hope and caused me to think. What are some of the other characteristics about the movie that you would like to discuss.
Eduardo Verastegui You know one of the things I wanted to emphasize was admirable Latin men. Ever since the 1940s and 1950 Latino men are portrayed in films as either "Don Juan-Latin lovers" or criminals. I think Bella shows us something different and better. I feel grateful along with many other Latinos for the opportunities this country has provided me. I think you see that in Bella.
Dave Hartline You bring up an interesting point. I have heard so many labels for this movie, a family movie, a love story, a different kind of love story, a pro-life film, a movie of faith and hope. Yet, these themes are so subtle and people of faith or no faith at all have given this movie some excellent reviews.
Eduardo Verastegui This movie is about hope. It is for people of faith or no faith at all. It shows us average men and women doing great things. Sinners arent being condemned but shown a better way. I cant help but think of what Jesus said [Luke 15:1-7] concerning the rejoicing in heaven over one repentant sinner. We are all sinners yet we are called to show others the way, not through condemnation but through Christs example. This hope I speak of I first encountered in Scott Hahns book, Rome Sweet Rome. It had a great impact on me and its influences can be seen in a lot of what I do.
Dave Hartline I know when I decided to speak and write full-time some people thought I was a little crazy. Even after my book, The Tide Is Turning Toward Catholicism, came out some people said who wants to read a positive book about the Catholic Church? They must have really thought you were crazy for turning down the millions that you could have made after being dubbed the Brad Pitt of Latin films
Eduardo Verastegui You wouldnt believe it. So many people, even some close to me, said I was crazy. They pleaded with me to continue to do what I was doing but I knew God had other plans for me. People can criticize your positive book, The Tide Is Turning Toward Catholicism, or my change of heart. However, if we live to be 80 years old and people constantly call us crazy that may seem like a long time, but heaven is forever and that is my goal. I realized that I didnt want to be a part of anything where the Blessed Virgin Mary or my mother would have to cover their eyes. When people see passionate scenes in the movies they have to remember that even though that is only a three of four minute scene, it could have taken all day to film. When I let it be known that I was not going to do anything like that anymore, I remember so many people telling me, Eduardo whats the problem, a little kissing for a few minutes, theres nothing wrong with that. There is more to it than that and it can play with your mind, especially your thoughts, since the woman in the passionate scene could be married or in a serious relationship. I made up my mind that I was going to work on projects that the Blessed Mother and my mother would be proud of, projects that would produce fruit for the world not filth. You have to be commited to faith daily. I have a spiritual structure to the day, Mass, Bible reading, praying the rosary and Confession at least once a week. We have structure for less important things, why not for our faith life?
Dave Hartline I cant help but think of Father Patrick Peyton, the Rosary priest, who had a vision of Hollywood being a center of evangelization of faith through the medium of film. I think a lot of people thought he was crazy for making such a statement but people forget about the many miracles in his life and he is now being considered for canonization. You may be part of what he was envisioning.
Eduardo Verastegui You know Hollywood not only influences Americans but people all over the world, people of different cultures and religions. It is so sad that much of what comes out of Hollywood has no redeeming value, it produces no fruit and gives the world a bad picture of Hollywood, the film industry and America. If I am a small part in fulfilling Father Peytons message then I feel humbled. Mother Teresa told the world that we are called to use our talents for fulfilling Christs message of building up the Kingdom, not to build up our bank accounts or add to our mansions. It is sad that so many people use their talents the wrong way or dont use them at all. God has so many great things planned for each and every one of us. It is my hope that Bella gives those who watch it the spark to do those things.
Dave Hartline Whats next for Metanoia Films and Eduardo Versategui?
Eduardo Verastegui I dont know. We are taking this one step at a time. Right now all of our efforts and energies are focused on Bella. I have been traveling all over the world to tell people about this film. I will continue to as long as it requires. Afterwards, Alejandro [Monteverde] and the many others involved in Metanoia will figure out whats next. I will wait and see and most importantly pray over what God wants me to do. He may have me making more movies, spending time in quiet contemplation or going back to Mexico and serving tacos to the needy. I dont know but I do know whatever God wants me to do, I will find out in prayer.

Steve's been visibly distressed and has had clear PTSD from the flashbacks while he's beating the shit out of that punching bag and the way he has to tell Tony, "Stark, that's a one way trip," which is something he knows first hand because that's basically what Peggy told him before he took down the plane and he still sees people using Hydra weapons and he's feeling like everything he fought for was pointless because history's just gonna replay itself out and things never change.
But then Tony did something incredibly brave and incredibly stupid and he did cut that wire but he was gonna take himself out with it but he didn't and I think Steve's finally starting to accept that this whole trapped in the future thing can work, that things will be okay, and that no, Bucky isn't worth 10 of Tony, Tony's his own person, and he's an incredible one at that, and he's glad Tony's not Bucky, because Tony came back. - (x)

Jessica Biel
After a childhood of modeling gigs for Limited Too and local theater, Jessica Biel made her TV debut in a '90s Pringles commercial. It took three spring trips to Hollywood for pilot season before the then 14 year old was cast on 7th Heaven. The following year her first feature film, Ulee's Gold, paired her with legend Peter Fonda. After losing an American Beauty role to Thora Birch, she blamed her squeaky-clean image and lashed out with a raunchy spread in defunct lad mag Gear. The shoot, which she admitted regretting later, led to a scale down of the part and the preacher's daughter was free to do films (Blade:Trinity, hit remake of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre) and attend Tufts University for three semesters. The Sexiest Woman Alive (according to Esquire in 2005), who idolized soccer player Mia Hamm, has found a lot of work being the pretty face (Valentine's Day, Hitchcock) and the kickass heroine (Next, The A-Team and Total Recall). She occasionally gets to spread her wings in drama (The Illusionist) or comedy (TV's Family Guy). While her good looks may keep her from the meatiest parts, they certainly help in her personal life. After dating actor Chris Evans and Yankee Derek Jeter, she made love sounds with Justin Timberlake after being linked at a Golden Globes party in 2007. J-squared separated in March 2011 amid romantic rumors about Mila Kunis, but they got their sexy back by August and were married in Italy Oct. 19, 2012.

Had a text-message exchange this morning with former Atlanta Braves pitcher John Smoltz, who was caught off-guard by Republican interest in seeing him run for U.S. John Linder's seat in a July primary.
Linder announced his retirement Saturday morning. We immediately got a call from Washington letting us know that Republicans intended to approach Smoltz to enter the campaign to replace him.
Pardon the language, but the brief conversation with Smoltz went something like this:
Me: jim galloway w ajc politics here. Could u call re ur interest in linder seat? Thx.
Smoltz: I do not know what you are talking about I am not in any way involved in anything regarding politics sorry.
Me: [Certain Washington source] says u would make gud candidate to replace john linder who has announced retirement. Interested?
Smoltz: Sorry I am not.
Smoltz followed this messages with a phone call an hour or so later, and — and from a volleyball tournament in Alabama — confessed that he'd thought someone had been playing a joke on him.
Assured that the GOP interest in him was indeed real, Smoltz still said no to a congressional run. "It's not in my plans," he said. Ever? The pitcher said he's learned never to say never, but repeated his lack of current interest.
With that balloon popped, we move on.
One Republican strategist this morning noted the importance of the timing of Linder's announcement. The end of March marks the end of the first quarter federal disclosure period for campaign contributions.
So the first fund-raising numbers for candidates to replace Linder will be made public in mid-April, letting us know who – at least in financial terms – are the most viable. So the sprint may be even shorter than the July primary date implies.
The names currently in the mix this morning:
– A Web page has been set up by Seth Weathers in an attempt to generate buzz for long-time Gwinnett County Sheriff Butch Conway. Says Weathers on www.draftbutchconway.com:
Conway will be a strong reasoned voice for the FairTax to continue the fight Congressman Linder started.
Sheriff Conway has been a national voice for illegal immigration enforcement, doing so through implementing 287g in Gwinnett County. He has drastically reduced the number of illegal immigrants in our county.
– Don Balfour (R-Snellville), the chairman of the state Senate Rules Committee and a Waffle House executive;
– Ralph Reed, the former head of the national Christian Coalition and ex-chairman of the Georgia GOP. The Gwinnett County resident lost a 2006 primary race for lieutenant governor to Casey Cagle.;
–State Sen. David Shafer (R-Duluth), who – this time last year – was engaged in an all-out race for lieutenant governor. He suspended his campaign when Cagle, anticipating back surgery, abandoned his 2010 plans to run for governor;
– Chuck Efstration, chairman of the Gwinnett County Republican Party and assistant district attorney;
– State Rep. Tom Rice (R-Norcross);
– State Rep. Clay Cox (R-Lilburn).
If you know of anyone else, we'd like hear.

Another sign that Smoltz is a sellout. He sold out his country by staying with the Braves when they were owned by the anti-American Ted Turner and his now divorced wife Jane Fonda. He continued to sell out the Braves when they were owned by Time Warner and their vicous anti-American attacks against our military and President Bush in a time of war. He sold out his faith in a 1996 "700 Club" interview when he refused to denounce the atheist Turner. He sold out his country again during the Bush Administration for refusing to stand up against Ted Turner or Time Warner when Turner called Bush "Hitler" or when people in Time Warner like Jack Cafferty of CNN called for Bush's impeachment. He sold out to his team in 2009 when he backed out a three-year contract he signed in 2007. And finally, he sold out his country by refusing to fight against the tyrants in this government that are supported by Turner and the Braves former owner, Time Warner, in turning the average American into a serf.
I hope you can live with yourself Mr. Smoltz.

Makes me also wonder if Smoltz was programmed by CNN's Dr. Gupta when the Braves were owned by Time Warner.

"Ur?" "Gud?" I mean, I get it – they're text messages. But you're a journalist! Show more pride in your language, and don't contribute to the dumbing down of literacy. At least Smoltz seems to get it.

Hey Chris you are a real retard!!!!!!!!!!!!! Go spew your anti-american crap on a right wing site please!! I love how you stand up for a war criminal who stepped all over the Constitution because of his low intelligence level and just a lack of understanding for this country's principles. You are so dumb that you did not even realize that Ted was the best owner of a MLB franchise there ever was. Remember the 14 staright titles. No Brave player will ever say anything bad about Ted because they all knew what a great owner he was, and how much he did for his team. It sounds like you are a corporate lacky, well look at the braves now with its corporate ownership and how much they care about the crappy product they put out there. In the end corporations do not care about product only care about mass production and mass profits and the Braves have become a great example of that product at best an average team that may never ever again smell the playoffs until there is an ownership change. God how I long for day when Ted or someone like him buy the team again and make this town proud of its team again. Did I tell you what a freakin retard you are, go back to your cave or rock you crawled out from under, BOY!!!!!
February 28th, 2010

Comments like Chris' makes me want to move out of Georgia. This is another typically ignorant idea from Republicans to run someone unqualified for the job. I bet I have spent way more time than Chris in Iraq and I wanted George W Bush impeached as well. I guess I am unamerican for wanting that even though I put my life on the line for America and her childlike president(W).

You have to love it the way it is, filled with idiots like me, blah, blah! I also have a US flag hanging outside of my front door which makes me a patriot blah, blah, blah. when it comes to offering real solutions to improve the country I suggest wearing a flag pin and telling others our country is the greatest without actually wanting to improve anything,or for that matter ever actually traveling and seeingother countries for myself blah, blah, blah!! Dont you just love my fake patriotism, blah, blah, blah!!

Smoltz is not a serious politician but there are plenty of veterans like Balfour who should be ready, willing and able. This is still a safe Republican seat and will only get safer after upcoming redistricting. Whoever wins this election will be in this seat as long as they want it.

February 28th, 2010

Sad to say, I'm on your side-you just sound like such an idiot, it's embarrasing. As far as degrees, you better have something higher than a doctorate to make that challenge.

I guess John didn't want to sell his soul. When will the GOP give up on this tactic? Will sports stars and pretty faces (ie. Palin and Brown) make the lies the GOP feeds us taste less like $#!+ and more like sugar. Don't insult us GOP! If you want our vote, offer us someone with experience and integrity (for once), not a pretty face that will vote the way they are told.
February 28th, 2010

PLEASE, voters…ANYONE but Ralph Reed. The very last thing our state needs is an Abramhoff sycophant being elected to the House of Representatives. Talk about a fox in the henhouse!

1:42 pm
keep you your eyes on the ball CB. for too long people who share my views have stayed quiet and have allowed the liars on the other side to dictate and run the arguments or debates! no more high road. When I see their lies I will call them out for it, too many idiots live in this country and they have been brain washed by corporate interests and lobbyists to vote against their own interests. If health care does not change and get reformed, pretty soon many more people such as you and myself will be the next victims as we will be kicked off of our policies or simply will not be able to afford the future premium hikes. I will fight back and will do so with nothing but facts, and I will use the same demeaning tactics that the other side uses to express my point. Now, I call that fighting back on a level playing field. So, even though it seems like I am fighting with you, I am not, you only chose to interject your self with me, but as you can see I am all about hitting back people like Chris to put them in their place when they get the way they do! No more lies, no more corporate interests!

Tom Rice??? Tom Rice??? I am in his district in Fulton Co. and he has been the most absentee representative I have ever seen in politics. tom Rice is a no-op back bencher. I can't believe he is even being considered.
David Shafer is definitely a go-getter and moves some legislation. A behind-the-scenes politician, this guy gets things done—and a TRUE conservative. See his legislation for a zero-based budget—something ANY conservative or taxpayer would support.
February 28th, 2010
1:54 pm
Nick P., agreed, but please don't forget you values in the process. Politics is extremely ugly–stooping to their level can turn a lot people you might have othewise persuaded or enlightened off. The government is to run with consent of the governed, not the consent of the lobbyists! Healthcare does need to be improved, but with great caution so as not let government take it over and increase control. Liberty, freedom of ideas, and the right to choose our own healthcare is what we need.

The northern Atlanta suburbs have given us accompished U.S. Congressman such as McDonald, Gingrich, and Linder. Nothing against Smoltz; but we need another political heavyweight in that particular slot. If Smoltz he wants to help, he should move to Atlanta and try to take a Democratic seat since anybody would be an improvement there.

Rep. Bobby Reese needs to get out of the 9th Distict race.
He is clearly a political opportunitist, running in a district he doesn't live in.
With his own District open, his rationale for running over in the 9th looks even more illogical.
February 28th, 2010
3:09 pm
So 'ol Smuck knows he'd get raked over the coals if he ran for office. Smart move. Hey GOP! Why don't you run Bobby Cox? Word's out he's looking for something to do soon. Better yet, try running the guy who owns the Love Shack chain. You may not like his business, but he is a small business owner in the area and he will tell it like it is, like it or not!

Hat's off to Smoltz. It takes a smart man to stay OUT of politics.

Has Linder endorsed Butch Conway yet? Butch is being considered for the 7th- he's a far right conservative sheriff who has a solid takes-no-prisoners attitude – especially with 287G. Phil Kent will definitely back Butch.

@Mr. Knowitall Tom is typically at his wife's house in Dahlonega. He's totally out of touch with the district. Tom has been there for 14 years and has done nothing. He's an arrogant jerk who needs to retire. I am considering his opponent this fall.

Mike: Is your comment serious or are you just kidding? Since he has made so many blunders
in the race for Republican candidate for governor, is he throwing in the towel. If so, won`t his
baggage follow him whatever race he gets in?
February 28th, 2010
4:08 pm
Would State Rep. David Casas (R) consider it? He had a big fight to retain his seat in 2008 and got less than 55% of the vote in his district. He has to know that his days are probably numbered in that area of Gwinnett, so might he decide to try for the more Republican GA-07 seat?
Similar thing for former State Rep. John Heard (R-Lawrenceville). He could make another run at the guy that unseated him in 2008 (Lee Thompson), but the ability for a Republican to win long-term in Lawrenceville is doubtful.
Or could State Rep. Bobby Reese (R-Sugar Hill) decide to switch from the GA-09 race to GA-07. It would make sense. First, he lives in GA-07. Second, the Republican primary in GA-09 is incredibly crowded, and it looks like either State Senator Lee Hawkins and State Rep. Tom Graves will be the nominee there. The only reasons I can think of for Reese not to switch are fear of looking overly ambitious and non-committal, the weaker Republican hold on GA-07 (he'd be switching from the most Republican Congressional district in Georgia to the least Republican district in Georgia held by Republicans), and deference to any of the candidates that may run in GA-07 (e.g. Balfour, Shafer, etc).
February 28th, 2010
5:27 pm
Hope Balfour runs…and loses, maybe that's what's needed to get that yahoo out of the State Senate. Shafer would be a good man for the job, Casas as well.
February 28th, 2010
5:36 pm
I for one am glad he made the decision he did……
February 28th, 2010
6:11 pm
Ah, we forgot about voucher-dude Casas, a right-wing religious douchebag worse than Linder. Shafer is a total schmuck. Do you remember his Water Pipeline to Nowhere idea? Can we please fire all of these religious zealot jackasses and elect sane middle of the road people who will get our economy back on track?

Thought Smoltz would be a joke of a choice. Conway would be excellent – he's done a great job here in Gwinnett.

There is no doubt that Chris' comments are foolish. But the hatred comments from the left are even more disturbing. Their invective and hateful attributions not only demean them but dismiss them. BTW how many of the respondents to this article have an MBA from Harvard? Bush wasn't great by any stretch but don't call him stupid. Misguided maybe, foolish certainly but stupid, no. As a conservative I deeply regret what the Republican Party did to our country during the Bush years. But what is happening now is more than frightening, it is downright scary. As an immigrant to this wonderful country some 50 years ago with a love of freedom but only $27 in my pocket, I can't tell you how blessed I am. I have lived the American dream and I am thankful but stop the hateful and stupid comments simply because you are a Democrat and think that being hateful is OK. It's not. I deplore the direction this land is taking. It is socialism, it is SCARY. Chris is foolish as I said but there is no question that Jane Fonda was a traitor. That doesn't make Ted a traitor, just a horny dude with a poor choice in female companionship. I would be very hard pressed to call Bush a traitor, by any definition. A lousy President very likely but a hell of a lot better than the chap from Chicago!

It really doesn't matter who fills the seat. You could put the Pope into politics and it would only be a matter of time before he would succumb to the siren of money. Ole Abe's "…of the people, by the people, for the people…", as valorous as it once was, is now a dead horse, lost in the history of quaintness.
February 28th, 2010

@Harry @Mr. KnowItAll I'm not sure if Rice could qualify for the 7th since he's got so many homes all over the place. Great, let him be a US Congressman to take all of your money and then do nothing with it because that's what this next Congress will be – total do-nothings….

GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) - The 37th annual Bellin Run has reached a record number of runners who have pre-registered ahead of Saturday's event.
Executive Director Randy Van Straten says 18,851 registered online and expects overall race participation around 19,500.
Online registration has closed, but Van Straten says Friday's in-person registration could include up to 1,000 people.
Police will be providing video surveillance for the event this year in response to the bombing at the Boston Marathon. Spectators and runners should have an airport mentality.
"Don't leave your bags lying around, keep things with you, maybe travel light," says Van Straten. "If you see something, say something."
Race officials say they'll have enhanced video surveillance along the course. Participants will also see increased law enforcement.
And there will be GPS tracking with emergency and medical personal.
Van Straten it will be good race weather, with low temperatures and no rain. No real course changes, so expect to see the same hills and grade throughout the race.

Sneezing, coughing and muscle aches are all symptoms of the common cold.
But, did winter weather factor how you got that cold? The simple answer is no. Cold weather isn't what is necessarily causing your cold.
"It goes without saying, when the temperature is low, they are more likely to thrive and people are more likely to congregate together. So, it's easy to spread," says Dr. Casmiar Nwaigwe, Trinity Health.
The best ways to protect yourself and the people around you are by washing your hands frequently and covering your cough.

text: DULUTH, MN (KDAL) - The Duluth Airport Authority has announced that passenger traffic for the first quarter of 2013 was up by 5 percent over the same period last year. Duluth International Airport served 77,711 passengers in January, February and March. Most went through the new terminal building that opened on January 14th. Delta Airlines also announced an upgrade to their 5:30 a-m flight starting in June. A larger plane with dual class service and 76 seats will be used for that early morning flight and for other high volume days. Airport Executive Director Tom Werner says those positive changes will provide more seats and options for passengers heading into the peak travel season.

May 19 /PRNewswire/— The University of New Hampshire's EcoLine™, a landfill gas-to-energy project that uses purified methane gas from a nearby landfill to power the campus, is complete, university officials announced. The five million square-foot campus will receive up to 85 percent of its electricity and heat from purified natural gas, making UNH the first university in the nation to use landfill gas as its primary fuel source.
"This massive project, more than four years in the making, will reduce our dependence on fossil fuels and stabilize our fuel source and costs," says UNH President Mark W. Huddleston. "EcoLine™ showcases UNH's fiscal and environmental responsibility and secures our leadership position in sustainability."
EcoLine™ is a partnership with Waste Management's Turnkey Recycling and Environmental Enterprise (TREE) in Rochester, N.H. where the naturally occurring by-product of landfill decomposition is collected via a state-of-the-art collection system consisting of more than 300 extraction wells and miles of collection pipes.
After the gas is purified and compressed at a new UNH processing plant at TREE, it travels through a 12.7-mile-pipeline from the landfill to UNH's cogeneration plant, where it will replace commercial natural gas as the primary fuel source. In operation since 2006, UNH's cogeneration plant captures waste heat normally lost during the production of electricity and uses this energy to heat campus buildings.
Total cost of the project, which included construction of the pipeline and the processing plant at TREE, is $49 million. UNH will sell the renewable energy certificates (RECs) generated by using landfill gas to help finance the overall cost of the project and to invest in additional energy efficiency projects on campus. In addition, UNH will sell power in excess of campus needs back to the electric grid.
"By selling the RECs from EcoLine™, UNH will further fund its aggressive plan toward climate neutrality," says Tom Kelly, UNH chief sustainability officer and director of the office of sustainability. "With this climate action plan, called WildCAP, UNH has committed to lowering its emissions by 50 percent by 2020 and 80 percent by 2080."
The University of New Hampshire, founded in 1866, is a world-class public research university with the feel of a New England liberal arts college. A land, sea and space-grant university, UNH is the state's flagship public institution, enrolling 11,800 undergraduate and 2,400 graduate students.

A valley rocker is giving back to the community with donations from his charity concert in December.
In May 2011, Bret Michaels saw a feature on Camelot Therapeutic Horse Ranch on FOX 10. Camelot provides private lessons with children, to help them learn the basics of caring for and riding horses.
Michaels immediately wanted to become involved with the organization, and eventually he and his two daughters began sponsoring a horse named Barbara. The girls visit Camelot and groom and feed the horse regularly.
In December 2012, Michaels had a concert at Celebrity Theatre benefiting charities like Camelot. He says recovering from his own medical challenges makes it easy to relate.
"Relearning to use your arms, your legs, walk -- a brain bleed is horrendous and after that the heart surgery and all this other crazy stuff. What I hope with students, that they learn out here..is just being out here in the outdoors and being around horses," said Michaels.
"To be able to be out here is therapeutic for them as much mentally as it is physically."
The "Poison" star is giving back to his Arizona community by presenting a check to Camelot through his Life Rocks Foundation on Wednesday.

What is the aim of the sweat chloride test?
Comment on this
The goal of this test is to painlessly stimulate the patient's skin to produce a large enough amount of sweat which may then be absorbed by a special filter paper and analyzed for the content of chloride in the sweat. Patients with cystic fibrosis produce larger quantities of sweat chloride than normal individuals.
How is the sweat chloride test done?
To produce the necessary volume of sweat, a technique called iontophoresis is employed. The technique requires the application of a tiny (painless) electrical current that medically stimulates maximum sweat production.
The patient's forearm is commonly used. However, in small infants, the back may also serve as an appropriate area to perform this procedure.
How long does the test take?
The sweat chloride test usually takes about one-half to one hour.
What is done with the sweat?
The sweat is collected on a specialized filter paper. After determining that enough sweat has been collected to ensure test reliability, the amount of chloride in the sweat is measured. This is considered a specialized test, and not all institutions have experience with the techniques, and poor collection techniques can result in false negative results.
What are normal sweat chloride levels?
The normal sweat chloride values are 10-35 milliequivalents per liter.
What is the sweat chloride level in cystic fibrosis?
Patients with cystic fibrosis usually have a sweat chloride value greater than 60 milliequivalents per liter.

Audio Slideshow with director Brian Hill
Director Brian Hill talks us through some stunning imagery from Four Born Every Second.
Episode 1 of 8
Duration: 1 hour
130 million babies are born each year, but the circumstances and country of their birth will determine their life story. Brian Hill travels from the UK to America, Cambodia and Sierra Leone to reveal the shocking lottery of child birth across the globe.
In Sierra Leone - the worst country to be born in terms of infant mortality - we meet Hawa, who is expecting her fifth baby, as well as the MSF obstetricians working to reduce the infant and maternal mortality rate. However for some of the women arriving at the Gondama Referral Centre with complications, they will already be too late.
In Cambodia, babies are more likely to grow up malnourished than attend high school. We meet Neang, 36, and her 12-year-old son Pisey who helps support his pregnant mother and little sister by scavenging the streets.
In the UK - where four million children live in poverty - we follow single mum, Lisa, 22, who is expecting her second child. She is reluctant to be a 'stereotypical mum on benefits' and wants to work to provide for her children. However with her childcare costs at £1,400 per month, her options are limited.
In America, the infant mortality rate has worsened over the last 20 years. In San Francisco, we meet expectant mother Starr, her partner and two children. A year ago, they became homeless, making her children among the 1.6 million homeless children now living in the US.
Poignant and sobering, the film features scenes of stillbirths and shocking statistics about infant mortality.
A BBC Storyville film, produced in partnership with the Open University, Four Born Every Second screens as part of Why Poverty? - which sees the BBC and the OU, in conjunction with more than 70 broadcasters around the world, host a debate about contemporary poverty.

Related Content: Dan Quayle
Convention Notes: John Harwood of CNBC and The New York TimeS
Web content
Our panelists, some of the best political reporters in the business, have covered their fair share of conventions. Between the 2012 Republican and Democratic National Conventions, we asked them which was their most memorable convention. John Harwood, of CNBC and the New York Times, tells us why the 1988 Republican National Convention, with George H.W. Bush announcing Dan Quayle as his running mate made it one of the more dramatic conventions.
Avoiding the Veepstakes (Not Really)
Gwen's Take
With the Republican primary campaign approaching its end, and more than two weeks before the next voting, there is immense temptation to begin speculating about running mates.
I will resist. That seems the respectful thing to do when there are three other candidates who insist they are still in the race for the nomination.

With more job opportunities than any other college major these days, computer science is hot. The Bureau of Labor says there will be up to 800,000 new jobs in this area by 2020. So, why are fewer than 100 students in Alabama learning about this field?
"I'm always surprised that we have to go out and advocate for computer science education," computer science teacher, Carol Yarbrough said.
Whether it makes sense or not the computer science industry is in need of some good publicity. And who better to be the face of it than a Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg and a few of their very successful friends. They are a part of a short film on the site code.org. It's advocating the need for computer programming education specifically teaching high school students how to write code.
"We heard there was a lot of folks in industry putting an effort to raise the awareness of computing," University of Alabama professor, Jeff Gray, said.
So far, nearly 700,000 thousand people have signed a petition on the site promoting computing. Ten thousand of those are from Alabama. Gray says our state still has a way to go. Currently, few schools in Alabama offer an AP computer science class, which is the only type of computer science course available in our state.
"Currently in Alabama, we are not doing a great job at this. We only have a handful of schools that can teach the current AP exam," Gray said.
Payton Walker took the class and exam when he was in the 10th grade. Now as a senior at the Alabama School of Fine Arts, he says his life would have been much different without computer science.
"I would have been really bored. Computer science was one of those classes I was always really excited to go." Walker said.
But Gray realizes that the way Walker learned to code, in a language called Java, can be overwhelming. That is why, with the help of a $1-million grant, he is working to bring a more user friendly AP exam to Alabama high schools.
"With this new exam we are hoping Alabama will lead the nation in participation because we will have an army of teachers that will help bring this new knowledge to our students," Gray said.
Right now, less than 100 students are taking computer science in Alabama. Gray hopes to change that a new AP science exam where students will learn how to code using a smart phone.
Yarbrough is piloting the new AP exam course at ASFA.
"It focuses on ideas like computing is all about creativity," Yarbrough said.
Students learn to invent android apps; simple games and quiz reviews for tests in other classes.
"That's a fun introduction. They can be real creative," Yarbrough said.
She says it is not just students interested in math and science who are in the class. Gray says it is a good thing since there are more jobs in the computer science field than students to fill them.
"Cummings Research Park is the 2nd largest in the United States, here in our backyard, but we are not providing educational pathways for our students to take on those opportunities," Gray said.
A problem even the head of Facebook is having to deal with and hoping to change.
"Our policy is to hire as many talented engineers as we can find. The whole limit in the system is that there just aren't enough people that are trained and have these skills today," Mark Zuckerberg said.

Absolutely delicious and simple to make, this dish is a celebration of flavor and a welcome substitute to the old hamburger with ketchup. The only recommendation I would make is to put the green onions on top of the burgers rather than in the meat.

Moving to Atlanta gave me another opportunity to clean out my closet! I found a load of designer pieces I was ready to part with. Some were worn in, most looked like new, and a handful had never been worn (ugh). What should I do with this stuff? My first move was to give the cashmere and big brand pieces to friends. I like finding my clothes good fashionista homes :) Then I posted a lot of stuff on Threadflip (get invite here and shop my closet here), the new DIY resale site based in San Fran. Great concept, big brands, reputable fashion bloggers, beautiful execution, and flawless functionality. My shoes were the hot ticket item on that platform, but the clothes didn't sell. My next move was to go to a local consignment store, but the very day I was on my way over I saw an ad for TheRealReal in Atlantan magazine. I know, the name is a little weird, but their concept is awesome. They claimed high end designer resale of flawless items, 70% of the selling price to the consigner, in-house pick up with their white glove service, and they will do all of the photography and shipping. SOLD!
Today, Nicole came over and checked out my stuff with a very critical eye. The biggest thing she was hunting for was not flaws, but brands. Online shoppers want the label. I totally get that. So unfortunatley she didn't take it all (honestly, I wouldn't have either), but she did take a good chunk. The rest I'm now taking over to the resale store and we'll see what happens.
Check out TheRealReal to shop or consign. (If you do consign with them, tell them I sent you!) Even shop for gifts, seriously. I can now attest it's a legit source for quality designer clothes at a steal price.
You can imagine that after 6 seasons of New York Fashion Week – 12 hours a day at the tents during the day and 5 hours of editing at night for 7 days straight in 4 inch YSL Tribute pumps chronicling and streaming commentary on clothing – that I'm a little burned out with the whole fiasco. So much to the point I don't really follow it anymore, with the exception of flipping through magazines and clicking through links on my tumblr dashboard. Somehow I get the information…like men know every sports statistic after having on Sports Center in the background for an hour.
(BTW, in the photo on the right I'm sitting next to Martha Stewart. I was so shocked at the time I could barely blog. Somehow I found words to make small talk. She even laughed a few times. I mean, I made a convict and queen of an empire laugh! It was truly one of the most exciting moments of my life. I don't think I need to explain why. The designers in the center are Max Azria and Jill Stuart.)
Fashion evolution has seemingly almost come to a halt in these hard economic times. Although, according to a story I heard on NPR the other day, the only thing that hasn't declined in our consumer culture is luxury good sales. In terms of fashion, "trends" stick around for countless seasons now (Even WWD sees "repitition.") to the point that everything seems to be "in." Classic and simple is just as catching as bold and accessorized. You can wear flats or heels, chunky fabrics or tailored blends, blinged-out beaded numbers or jersey tops, natural or striking makeup, a small messenger bag or an over-sized tote. Whatever goes as long as you rock it with confidence.
Runway fashion can be inspiring with its over-the-top ensembles. You can pick and choose the little tricks and trends you want to adopt. But those never really make it to "the street." On the contrary, street fashion pushes trends more these days if you ask me, especially on a local level. Furthermore, I haven't really seen anything "awesome" in the photos. That's the big difference between being AT the show and seeing pictures. You can't translate that wow factor. It's sad to say but the most exciting picture I've seen from the shows has been this one. I would wear this Carolina Herrera shoe!
So, I'm a little jaded. And I live in the south, Atlanta of all places, where fashion is practically suffocating beneath Tory Burch and Louis Vuitton branding. And I'm happy to go along with the simplicity in my own little outfits which mostly include workout gear, simple dresses, and skinny jeans. I love the no hassle attitude of the lifestyle!
All of that being said, I do love the runway show itself where you are enveloped by so many wow factors. Getting to see the hand-made pieces grace the runway in itself is truly mesmerizing. I'm sure you've been watching in your own way. Tumblr for me is the easiest place to get all the news. Every fashionista and her sister has a tumblr and are live-blogging now. WWD still is my go-to. MusingsandFemininity has good coverage as well.
On tumblr I found Bureau Betak's blog showing the inside scoop on the shows they produced: DVF, Derek Lam, and Lacoste. By the looks of this pic Alexandre (above with DVF) has incorporated some crazy spectacle we won't be able to see via stream. With or without fancy technology, I always loved her show.
See the more affordable Rag & Bone here.
Shoe departments are flooded with square toe shoes marked with bright metal pieces. It sounds good on paper…needless to say the room in the toe and thicker heel would make the shoe comfortable…but I am not a fan. I think I would like the concepts separately, like in the Casadei stiletto or YSL flats, both of which have round toes. The square toe is just so unflattering. Paired with a thick heel, the shoe is overwhelming visually.
You'll notice I don't have photos from Lanvin, Chanel, Christian Louboutin, Sergio Rossi, or Givenchy because they don't have these elements in their fall lines.
If I really wanted to incorporate the square metal toe into my wardrobe I'd choose the first YSL and pair it with skinny jeans and a chunky sweater. I don't think I would accessorize a dress with them because they would steal the ensemble's feminine nature. Possibly a high-waisted, full skirt, but not a suit. This style would steal your womanhood with a suit.
Now, are you curious to see what trends I did buy?? :)
(All photos from my trip to Barney's NYC, August 2012)
If only I had somewhere to wear lace….
A lace overlay dress is timeless and is a great purchase right now. While everyone else is going with bold colors and sequins, you would really stand out at a wedding/event in a lace dress, even black. Lisa Rina's THEIA is a showstopper!
Last week when I posted my Head to Toe, I got several email requests for more info on what I wear everyday. Honestly, I haven't done this in a while, really since I left LA, because my outfits aren't as exciting as they used to be. You can imagine as a consultant who lives in the south, works from home, frequents the gym, and cooks often, I don't get dressed up often!
I always encourage you to write me and ask questions, so now I will answer your request!
Going from top left clockwise.
Movie Night:
- Dita sunglasses
- Pucci scarf
- 3 dot t shirt
- Lululemon leggings $82
- Mossimo sandals
- Zambos & Siega faux python bag (Brooke $125)
BBQ party:
- Claudia Loboa hoops
- Gold and lapiz heart necklace
- Diamond solitaire necklace
- H&M tank
- Assets cami underneath ($24 at Target)
- Parker silk shorts from Tootsies
- Mossimo sandals
Saturday Golf:
- Nike tennis top
- Assests cami
- Nike tennis skirt
- Havianas
I ALMOST forgot to snap this pic and jumped out of the car before we took off, hence the flip flops. After the game I played I was anxious to get outta there :) If you're a golfer, I highly recommend tennis clothes instead of golf apparel. Much more comfortable and flattering. More of my golf outfits here.
Client Dinner:
- Parker silk top from Tootsies
- Miguel Ases earrings you can't see
- AG "Angel" jeans
- Bone cuff from Vietnam
- Moe CLICK bag
- Chloe sandals
The finishing touch to this outfit was the bright pink lipstick that, for some reason (probably just that my iphone sucks), you can't see. If you're going to wear dark neutral pieces, I always use a pop of color in my lipstick or jewelry.
Pretty much what I wear everyday:
- KBL sunglasses
- Scarf from Cost Plus World Market (seriously!)
- Mossimo jersey wrap
- Nike tank
- 15 LOVE spandex shorts
- Brooks running shoes
- Polar heart rate monitor ($129)
Because I wear workout gear most days, I try to jazz it up a little bit so I don't look like a total gym rat. If you've been with me for a while you know I love scarves.
Date Night:
- Claudia Lobao hoops
- Gold and lapiz heart necklace
- BCBG dress
- Theory long spandex tank underneath
- Bone bracelet from Vietnam
- Dolce Vita heels
I'm not sure if you've noticed, but men's over-sized board shorts have been shrinking down to legit bathing suits that fit!
I first noticed this trend in LA last year when Andy introduced me to Orlebar Brown at The Monocle Shop. You know after someone points something out to you, you start to see it everywhere. Shorter trunks were popular in from the 50's through the 80's, I'm so glad they're back! I mean, you know they're back when J Crew has a selection :)
Brands are offering a range of inseams now from 9" (just above the knee) to 5" (pretty darn short). Here are a few suggestions:
- Olasul "Marino 5" in Navy $115
- Onia 7.5 in green on sale $89
- Olebar Brown "Setter" $230
All three of these brands offer up to a 9" inseam. Abs not included.
- J Crew 7" Board Shorts in Mattituck Plaid on sale $55.60
- J Crew 6" Swim Trunks 0n sale $45.29
J. Crew has a ton of options, all on sale now until June 8. However, the fabric doesn't seem as durable and the cut isn't as slim as the first three brands I mentioned.
The key to this look is a slim fit. No matter your belly; there isn't a bathing suit around that can conceal that. So flatter the rest of your figure and show off some leg! Keep your eyes open boys, you'll see the tides have changed.
Men are showing more leg at the pool in NYC and LA. Love it or hate it?
I didn't realize it until I put all of my clothes on…Every piece is from Target! Shirt, shorts, shoes, and my old faithful Assets cami (I wear instead of a bra :). Total cost = $60!
The accessories are where the bottom line skyrockets, but you certainly don't need them for the outfit. I mean, the belt came with the shorts for a whopping total of $10.
Side note: I can't believe I still have my KBL sunnies in my possession. I should have lost them by now. Guess I'm getting responsible in my old age.

I broke three KOBALT sockets and one AMPRO before I finally went to Sears and purchased this 1-1/2" Craftsman socket for only an average of five dollars more. Boy, did I learn my lesson. Keep it made in the USA. The quality is still at home and price is still reasonable. Dan

Excellent quality tool. I own several thousand dollars worth of snap-on products, and believe that Craftsman hold up just as well.
