Latex Allergy
- Author: Amy J Behrman, MD; Chief Editor: Erik D Schraga, MD more...
Allergy to natural rubber latex is common and serious in children and adults. Latex is the milky fluid derived from the lactiferous cells of the rubber tree, Hevea brasiliensis. It is composed primarily of cis -1,4-polyisoprene, a benign organic polymer that confers most of the strength and elasticity of latex. It also contains a large variety of sugars, lipids, nucleic acids, and highly allergenic proteins.
More than 200 polypeptides have been isolated from latex. Latex proteins vary in their allergenic potential. Protein content varies with harvest location and manufacturing process. Basic knowledge of the manufacturing processes aids in understanding the medical problems related to latex exposure.[1]
Freshly harvested latex from Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, and South America is treated with ammonia and other preservatives to prevent deterioration during transport to factories. Latex is treated with antioxidants and accelerators to strengthen the product during the manufacturing process, including carbamates, mercaptobenzothiazoles, and thiurams, which have allergenic potential of their own.[2, 3] It is then shaped into the desired object and vulcanized to produce disulfide cross-linking of latex molecules.
After being dried and rinsed to reduce proteins and impurities, the product frequently is dry-lubricated with cornstarch or talc powder. Powder particles rapidly adsorb residual latex proteins; other proteins remain in soluble form on the surface of finished products.
Latex is ubiquitous in modern society and particularly in health care. William Halstead first used latex surgical gloves in 1890. Latex has been used in a myriad of medical devices for decades. In the late 1980s, however, latex glove use in healthcare skyrocketed, driven by efforts to reduce occupational exposure to blood-borne pathogens, particularly human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Billions of pairs of medical gloves are imported to the United States annually, often as powdered, nonsterile examination gloves.
In the 1980s and 1990s, heightened demand for latex to manufacture gloves and other objects resulted in hundreds of new, poorly regulated latex factories in tropical countries. The incidence of minor and serious allergic reactions to latex began to rise rapidly among patients and health care workers (HCWs) around the world.[4, 5, 6, 7, 8] Latex sensitization can occur after skin or mucosal contact, after peritoneal contact during surgery, and after inhalation of aerosolized particles with adsorbed latex on their surfaces.
See All About Allergies: Be Ready for Spring, a Critical Images slideshow, to help identify a variety of allergens and symptoms.
For related information, see Medscape's Allergy & Immunology Resource Center.
Latex exposure is associated with 3 clinical syndromes.
Irritant dermatitis results from mechanical disruption of the skin due to the rubbing of gloves and accounts for the majority of latex-induced local skin rashes. It is not immune mediated, is not associated with allergic complications, and is not the subject of this article. It may be confused with Type IV hypersensitivity. Any chronic hand dermatitis in HCWs raises the risk of nosocomial infections, including blood-borne pathogens, and should be addressed to identify and remove irritants.
The second syndrome is a delayed (type IV) hypersensitivity reaction, resulting in a typical allergic contact dermatitis. Symptoms usually develop within 24-48 hours of cutaneous or mucous membrane exposure to latex in a sensitized person. The primary allergens are residual accelerators and antioxidants left from the original manufacturing process. Langerhans cells process the antigens and present them to cutaneous T cells. Multiple objects can cause sensitization, but the most common sources in this country are probably nonsterile examination gloves for adults and shoe soles for children. Type IV hypersensitivity is more common in atopic individuals. The dermatitis may predispose patients to further sensitizations or infections.
The third, most serious, and least common syndrome is immediate (type I) hypersensitivity. It is mediated by an immunoglobulin E (IgE) response specific for latex proteins. As noted, latex proteins are highly allergenic, and they are variable between lots from different plantations, factories, and manufacturers. Cross-linking of IgE molecules on mast cell and basophil cell membranes by latex protein allergens triggers the release of histamine and other mediators of the systemic allergic cascade in sensitized individuals.[9]
Exposure can occur following skin, mucous membrane, or visceral/peritoneal contact. Powdered latex examination gloves have been the most frequent source of sensitization in adults, causing cutaneous and inhalational exposures, most often affecting the HCWs wearing them. (Fortunately, their use is decreasing as many hospitals move toward powder-free, "low-allergen," or nonlatex glove products.)[10]
It also can follow inhalation of latex-laden particles or bloodstream exposure to soluble latex proteins following intravascular access procedures.[11] Anaphylaxis during anesthesia and in the perioperative period is increasingly recognized as a manifestation of type I allergy to latex.[12, 13, 14] It can be fatal without emergent treatment.[15]
Sensitization is more common in atopic individuals. Symptoms generally begin within minutes of exposure. The spectrum of clinical manifestations includes localized or generalized urticaria, rhinitis, conjunctivitis, bronchospasm, laryngospasm, hypotension, and full-blown anaphylaxis.
United States
Latex allergy is present in 1-5% of the general population, with an increased prevalence in atopic individuals. Latex allergy is increased in populations with chronic occupational exposure to latex.[16] It is found in 8-12% of HCWs[17] and in at least 10% of rubber industry workers. Symptoms of latex allergy have been described in 14% of a group of EMS providers and in 54% of a pediatric ED staff.[18, 19, 20] Atopy raises the risk of occupational sensitization.
The highest prevalence of latex allergy (20-68%) has been reported in patients with spina bifida or congenital urogenital abnormalities. Sensitization in these patients apparently follows multiple urinary tract, rectal, and thecal procedures, as well as multiple surgeries during early childhood. Children with spinal cord injuries also have increased incidence of latex allergy,[21] although children with spinal dysraphism in one study had a low prevalence.[22] Patients with spina bifida may have a genetic predisposition for latex sensitization. Patients with spina bifida and human leukocyte antigen (HLA) alleles DRB and DQB1 were more likely to have a specific IgE response to a common latex antigen. Again, within this risk group, atopic children are at increased risk.
Other patients with a history of multiple surgeries or other latex-exposing procedures are also at increased risk relative to the general population. Patients with cerebral palsy, mental retardation, or paraplegia also appear to have increased risk of latex allergy, probably because of repeated medical exposures.
Finally, the prevalence of latex allergy is increased in persons with allergies to avocado, banana, chestnut, kiwi, papaya, peach, or nectarine. Cross-reacting antigens have been found between these tropical fruits and latex.
The occupational and nonoccupational risk patterns described above are similar in other developed countries, documented in an extensive international literature now focused more on interventions to reduce latex allergy in HCWs and other populations than on simply describing their increased risk.[2, 23, 24] Workers with occupational exposure during harvesting and/or processing latex in developing countries where H brasiliensis is grown have an increased risk relative to the general populations.[16, 25]
Patients with type I hypersensitivity are at risk of developing anaphylaxis and/or respiratory obstruction, which can be fatal.
Deaths have been reported following the intraoperative or procedural use of latex devices. Latex anaphylaxis has occurred after childbirth, instrumentation, intravenous injection, balloon blowing, condom use, and hyperbaric treatment.[15, 12, 14, 13, 26]
Although most patients can be treated effectively for type IV and type I reactions without clinical sequelae, major allergy may prevent them from pursuing certain careers, using many household and workplace objects, and seeking timely medical care due to justified fear of latex exposure.
Incidence in males and females is equal.
Latex allergy probably is more common in children and in younger working adults because of the increased medical and/or occupational exposure over the past decades.

I just recently switched over from using products with sodium lauryl sulfate. When looking for an organic shampoo I read numerous reviews on the Aubrey Organics product line. I chose this product based on the reviews of it. It cleans great and has a nice distinctive scent to it. It lacks a little on the lathering but it works fine on my short oily hair.

President Obama authorized the SPR sale late last month as part of a coordinated effort with International Energy Agency member countries. The U.S. agreed to sell 30 million barrels of oil, while IEA countries said they would offer up an additional 30 million barrels.
Obama administration officials said the sales were intended to make up for supply disruptions caused by the unrest in Libya. But critics, including Republicans in Congress, said the sale amounted to a ploy to score political points amid high gas prices.
Gas prices averaged about $3.71 per gallon in the United States this time last month, before Obama authorized the sale. They averaged $3.63 per gallon Monday, according to AAA.
The federal government has authorized the sale of oil from the reserve to address supply shortages just two other times: in 1991 at the beginning of Operation Desert Storm and in 2005 after Hurricane Katrina. There have been a handful of minor SPR releases.

Some may wonder what George Saunders, the brilliant and often bitingly satirical author whose work largely came of age during the George W. Bush administration, would find to focus on in this nominally less politically fraught time. It turns out that to a writer for whom humanity's moral imperatives - indeed the very essence of humanity itself - is at the center of his attention, there's still more than enough material to populate a devastatingly insightful collection like Tenth of December. The ten stories collected here, most of which were originally published in The New Yorker (as well as Story, Prospect, and Harper's magazines), hold up a brutally detailed mirror to the human condition, forcing us to examine ourselves yellow teeth, wrinkles, warts, and all.
People do terrible things to one another in Saunders's stories. But, then again, this is true in real life, after all....

Until Arista released The Definitive Collection in August 1999, 1988's Greatest Hits stood as the ultimate Air Supply compilation. It's easy to see why. Eleven of the group's big hits are here: "Lost in Love," "All Out of Love," "Every Woman in the World," "The One That You Love," "Here I Am," "Sweet Dreams," "Even the Nights Are Better," and "Making Love Out of Nothing at All." That's all that most Air Supply fans need, at least casual fans, but even the hardcore followers are sure to like having such a concentrated dose of hits in one package. Yes, The Definitive Collection remains more comprehensive, but for anyone who just wants the hits, with no excess fat, Greatest Hits is the right choice. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

It begins as an ill wind roars through Renly's camp, although things look optimistic for Catelyn's negotiations. In his tent, Renly seems willing to ally with Robb Stark and will allow him to be King of the North as long as he swears fealty to Renly. And after they overthrow the Lannisters, of course. The negotiations hit a snag, however, in the form of a blade jabbed through Renly's chest by the wraith we saw birthed by Melisandre last week. It swoops in, kills Renly and dissipates, leaving Catelyn and Brienne the only witnesses. Guards rush in and, not unreasonably, assume that the armed Brienne was the murderer, and she messes them up good in self-defense. Christie movingly captures Brienne's grief for Renly, while Catelyn convinces her to flee: "You can't avenge him if you're dead."

Yesterday CL published a column by metro Atlanta journalist and researcher George Chidi about why he's leaving the Occupy Atlanta movement. We're happy to give members of the group a chance to respond.
Many of us in Occupy Atlanta were deeply saddened by George Chidi's article, "Why I'm leaving Occupy Atlanta," published yesterday in Creative Loafing, and several of us have come together to pen a collaborative response. This response certainly does not speak for all members of Occupy Atlanta, but rather reflects the thoughts of those who felt compelled to contribute.
There is a debate among many of us about whether or not publicly discussing the pros and cons of Occupy Atlanta in Creative Loafing is productive. At first, many of us saw George's article as an unnecessary public airing of incorrect or uninformed assumptions and conclusions. After a period of reflection, however, we began to see it as an opportunity to share our message, the work we've been doing, and the victories we can claim - and to more explicitly deal with the controversies and issues we have within our movement.
In this week's cover story about Andrew Wordes, the 53-year-old Roswell man who blew up his home and himself on March 26, we quoted a friend who said, "If there are ghosts, Andrew will haunt [Roswell]."
That friend is among many who believe the City of Roswell is complicit in the death of Roswell's Chicken Man - that police and code enforcement officials bullied Wordes until he finally took dramatic action and ended his life. The evidence suggesting that Roswell paid special attention to Wordes isn't unconvincing, but in the piece we allowed you to make your own judgement. Other news sources (mostly blogs and websites) have been more eager to pass judgement, running stories with headlines like, "City of Roswell, GA, bullies Andrew Wordes to death over his backyard chickens."
And Roswell is certainly being haunted.
According to the AJC, the city has increased security at City Hall in response to threatening emails and phone calls - "threatening to kill people, threatening to blow the building up," according to a city spokeswoman - that have been received since Wordes' death ...
Starting Wednesday, visitors to the municipal offices and courts no longer can use the front entrance. They must come through a special door and pass through a metal detector. A police officer mans the security post, and video surveillance records all visitors.
Apparently, plans to ramp up security had been in place for a while, but threats related to Wordes' case expedited the process.
Another development: Blogger Maggie West Bean of the Fulton County Buzz Examiner discovered that a man named Arnold Wall is behind the mysterious IRA that purchased Wordes' mortgage and later evicted him. As we reported in our piece, Wordes and his attorney planned to file an improper foreclosure suit based on the fact that the foreclosure notice he received didn't provide the mortgage holder's contact as required by Georgia law, and only listed an IRA account and the investment company that set up the account. The former mortgage holder, an elderly woman named Dora Hardeman, has said she was pressured by Wall to sell the mortgage.
ELLES (NC-17) A journalist begins an investigative report on the lives of two student prostitutes, what began as another assignment quickly becomes very personal. The journalist, Anne, becomes so involved with these female students it forces her to confront her own reservations about what happens in the bedroom. The world's oldest profession reveals more to Anne than she ever thought possible. Midtown Art Cinema 931 Monroe Drive Atlanta GA
THE FIVE YEAR ENGAGEMENT (R) From the producer of the marital comedy Bridesmaids, comes a new twist on the romantic comedy, a film spotlighting the time between the proposal and the marriage. When Tom and Violet get engaged, they have no idea what they are in for because it seems everything in the world is working against them getting married. The comedy ensues as this couple learns what it takes to make an engagement work.
THE HUNTER (R) A proficient and knowledgeable mercenary named Martin is sent into the Tasmanian wilderness to search for the rare Tasmanian tiger believed to be extinct. Hired by an anonymous company that desires the tiger's genetic material, Martin poses as a scientist when he lands in Tasmania. While living with a family, the patriarch of the house goes missing, and Martin can't help wanting to find the father. In the search, Martin's mission to find the tiger becomes even more complicated than he could have ever imagined. Willem Dafoe plays an amazing mercenary and gives a chilling performance.Midtown Art Cinema 931 Monroe Drive Atlanta GA
THE PIRATES! BAND OF MISTFITS (PG) The same people who created Chicken Run and the Wallace and Gromit series, have created a new stop-motion film about a pirate captain who just isn't very good at being a pirate. Voiced by Hugh Grant, the Pirate Captain is a lovable dope with aspirations of winning the "Pirate of the Year" award and finally getting some credit for his exploits as a buccaneer. Given directors Jeff Newitt's and Peter Lord's track record together, this movie is sure to be a great one.
THE RAVEN (R) When a deranged killer begins acting out the twisted poems and short stories of famed author Edgar Allen Poe, it is up to the author himself to stop the killer since Poe is the killer's ultimate inspiration. Poe, played by John Cusack, is helped by a young detective in his search for the killer. But the game of chase takes a turn for the worst when Poe's lover becomes the next target.
SAFE (R) Jason Statham plays Luke Wright a washed-up cage fighter in an MMA-style fighting circuit, essentially being paid to get beat up in front of a crowd. But when Luke wins a rigged fight he was supposed to lose, hell breaks loose, the Russian Mafia murders his family to teach him a lesson after costing them a small fortune. Then when Luke witnesses the Russians going after a young girl named Mei, he snaps and goes into an all out war against the mafia. In an attempt to redeem himself and avenge his own family, Statham delivers his usual action packed performance.
96 MINUTES (R) Is the story of four very different high school students on the brink of graduating, caught in the middle of a carjacking one night. The film follows each of the four student's days leading up to the point of the carjacking. This coming of age film confronts societal issues such as race, income levels, gender roles, and the like through the drama that unfolds on the screen. AMC Phipps Plaza, 3500 Peachtree Road NE, Atlanta, GA
DAMSELS IN DISTRESS When a trio of gorgeous girls at a college meet transfer student Lily, they immediately take her under their wing. The girls attempt to teach Lily the ways of life at their university, showing her their tap dancing therapy for depressed students. They seem to even have the men on the campus figured out, until a couple of guys threaten the girl's grip on their environment. The collegiate comedy has tons of familiar faces and was selected to play at Venice and Toronto's respective film festivals last year. UA Tara Cinemas 2345 Cheshire Bridge Road NE
FUR: AN IMAGINARY PORTRAIT OF DIANE ARBUS (2006) (R) This film follows the life of Diane Arbus, who is one of the most important photographers of the 20th century. Played by Nicole Kidman, Arbus turns away from her wealthy family and follows her heart into the arms of Lionel Sweeny (played by Robert Downey Jr.) who introduces her to the marginalized and deviant people that made her photos so famous. This film is being shown in conjunction with a series of other films at Poem 88 as part of their "Films for the 99% campaign." Poem 88, Wed., May 2, 8 p.m. 1170 Howell Mill Road, Atlanta, GA
RESTLESS CITY (R) The portrait film of Dijbril, a young African immigrant in NYC whose passion for music he hopes will take him all the way to the top and bring him a better life. He believes he can achieve his dreams and save his family back in Africa from a meager life, but its never that simple in the city that never sleeps. AMC Phipps Plaza, 3500 Peachtree Road NE, Atlanta, GA
The damage the department did when it improperly raided the Atlanta Eagle in September 2009 still seemed nearly irreparable. Plus, Powell was replacing former liaison Dani Lee Harris, who was pushed out of the position without explanation, though she claims is was for filing an OPS complaint against a superior.
Just shy of her two year anniversary on the job, the APD announced yesterday that Powell was moving on and taking a position with the department's Background & Recruitment Unit. She's being replaced by former Zone 5 patrol officer Kristin Knight. She'll join liaison Brian Sharp, who was hired in September 2010.
It was around that time we interviewed Powell for a cover story about a high-profile gay bashing in Piedmont Park and how it presented an opportunity for healing between the cops and the LGBT community. She discussed the challenge of basically being the sole member of a one-woman unit assigned to mend a cavernous rift:
"When I first came on in May, it was a challenge," Powell says. "But, what the department's been doing is continuing to get me out there in the community and build that relationship, build that trust back. The only way you're gonna do it is for me to get out there and do the legwork. Are we there yet? No. But since May I think we've come a short distance, but a positive difference."
Josh Noblitt, a pastor and a victim in the Piedmont Park attack, praised Powell's attentiveness to his case, saying she'd been "awesome," adding, "I mean, she sat with me in court."
A little bit about your new LGBT liaison ...
Knight, a native of Milford, Connecticut, joined the department in 2005 and worked as a patrol officer in Zone 5, covering Downtown and Midtown. Last year, Knight joined the department's Community Liaison Unit in the Community Oriented Policing Section, serving Zone 5.
"I'm looking forward to this wonderful and challenging opportunity to serve as a link between the LGBT community and the brave men and women of the Atlanta Police Department," Officer Knight said. "As a proud member of both the gay community and the APD, I will take great pride and care in ensuring we continue our mutual respect and understanding. The LGBT liaisons are instrumental in helping foster those partnerships that are at the core of our mission here at APD."
Prior to joining APD, Knight worked briefly with the Transportation Security Administration. Previously, she worked in the restaurant business and joined APD when she was 23. Officer Knight moved to Atlanta to attend
Clark Atlanta University. She is now working to complete her bachelor's degree in criminal justice at Saint Leo University.

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence is involved in an initiative that could lead to expanding the governments Information Systems Security Line of Business to include certification and accreditation (C&A) services.Sharon Ehlers, ODNIs lead official for C&A, said the agency joined a working group in May to study the cost savings and efficiencies possible by standardizing the C&A process and potentially outsourcing it.We are identifying models and what are the best ways to move forward with them, Ehlers said.Dale Meyerrose, ODNIs chief information officer, said the impetus for the working group came from ongoing collaborative efforts by the intelligence community and the Defense Department to standardize the C&A process.Other agencies want to leverage our work because they see the goodness of it, and it makes them better without having to go through the entire [development] process, he said.

Director Sajid Khan's much-awaited remake of 1983 film of the same name failed to impress fans at the Box office.
The movie, which has Ajay Devgn and Tammannaah Bhatia in the lead, managed to collect Rs 31 crore in the first weekend and a mere Rs 12 crore on the opening day (March 29).
Film critic Taran Adarsh tweeted: "#Himmatwala collected approx Rs 31.1 cr nett in its opening weekend. Breakup: Fri 12.1 cr, Sat 8.5 cr, Sun 10.5 cr."
He further said: "In view of the fact that UTV has given #Himmatwala a wide release, the weekend numbers are shockingly low."
Taran Adarsh had earlier said on Sunday that there was a drastic fall in numbers not only in India but also overseas.
"#Himmatwala is on a declining spree not just in India, but also in key markets of Overseas...UK Fri £ 42,294, Sat £ 36,035."
Director Sajid Khan, who is known for giving hit comedies like Heyy Babbyy and Housefull, expected his film to do a business of Rs 200 crore.
Besides Ajay Devgn and Tammannah Bhatia, Himmatvala also stars Mahesh Manjrekar and Paresh Rawal.

Stacked! is a Meetup group for anyone passionate about technology and dedicated to lifelong learning. And, while many of our talks lean towards advanced topics, we strongly encourage those newer to programming (as well as non-programmers with an interest in technology) to attend.
Our events typically begin with some time for networking and a bite to eat followed by back-to-back speakers or a series of lightening talks. We place a heavy emphasis on selecting speakers who are passionate and engaging as well as creating a warm and welcoming environment for programmers and non-programmers alike.
At the end of the day, this group is about learning, meeting new people, discussing technology, and having a good time. Stacked! is powered by Smashing Boxes.
P.S. We're planning Durham's first developer conference for Spring 2015!

The ESPN 150 has gotten a facelift with some dramatic changes following more in-person evaluation at last week's U.S. Army All-American Bowl.
As we have said all year long, we are not enamored with any of the quarterbacks in the 2007 class. They all still need to be developed, and there is not that big a difference between any of the top quarterbacks. However, Jimmy Clausen (Westlake Village, Claif./Oaks Christian) remains our No. 1 quarterback despite slightly dropping from No. 4 to No. 8 in the overall rankings, and some other quarterbacks experienced a drop as well.
However, one quarterback who greatly improved his stock this week is Ryan Mallett (Texarkana, Texas/Texas) who jumped from No. 54 to No. 12 with an impressive showing in both practice and in the game for the West squad. Mobility is still a concern, but his accuracy, arm strength and command under center really stood out when facing top competition. It will be interesting to see how his laid-back, comical personality jives with Lloyd Carr in Ann Arbor.
Another standout performer who saw his stock rise is DE Everson Griffen (Avondale, Ariz./Agua Fria Union). For the first time since we began evaluating him, we finally saw a consistent motor. He has the ability to be dominant, and we hope that his production during the week of practice and in the game are an indication of things to come and not just a result of all-star adrenaline. Griffen jumped from No. 71 to No. 31 in the ESPN 150.
WR Terrance Toliver (Hempstead, Texas) is going to be special, his athleticism for his height (6-foot-4) in everything he does, including playing safety, is impressive. As a result, he moved into the top 10 at No. 7 from his previous spot of No. 13.
CB Eric Berry (Fairburn, Ga./Creekside) was a pleasant surprise at cornerback considering he has not played there full-time yet. He was bigger than we anticipated, showed great instincts and his toughness and ability to hit and tackle really stood out amongst the defensive backs, and as a result, he has moved to No. 4 overall.
While many players have shifted around, the only new entry into the ESPN 150 is CB Marcus Gilchrist (High Point, N.C./T.W. Andrews). He is clearly capable of holding his own versus the best wide receivers in the country, and we were also very impressed with him in the Shrine Bowl of the Carolinas.

Corrigere delinquentem magis ad severitatem
Today was the last RCIA session of the year, and I finally achieved my goal of not saying anything. (Or at least nothing that anyone could think was intended to be instructive. After the presenter joked about not being sure whether a turn of phrase she used came from our pastor or the Pope, I said, "The Pope is less busy. He'll return your email." And when the RCIA director asked if I had any parting comments, I said, "See you next week." (You know, Mass.) Other than that, silence.)
The closest I came to having an audible thought was while looking at the list of the spiritual works of mercy: Labels: RCIA

Seriously, though, why "fear"?
I wrote a lot of words yesterday about understanding the gift of the Holy Spirit we call "the fear of the Lord" as the fear of offending the Lord -- not that God is offended in the sense of being miffed or hurt or indignant, but that we have acted toward Him in a way we ought not.

The best male show on the strip!

"BEST show in Vegas for ladies! If you get a chance to go on stage, TAKE IT! They definitely made my birthday a memorable experience and going on stage was the highlight of my night. If you have one show to see during a girls night out, make it this one!!" - Krystal J
This is a must-do experience for every Vegas bachelorette party. The girls will be thanking you and the bride-to-be might act mortified but she'll love it in the end! I mean, who doesn't love hot Australian men?
Trina Tron USA
The guys were fantastic! Hunky of course but also all around good entertainers. The emcee is super charismatic and the ladies in the audience were all clearly having a great time. My bachelorette friend was even chosen to go on stage! Prepare for your voice to be hoarse the next morning after all that cat calling.
What more can I say but OMG. This was a fabulous show that would get you all on the edge of your seats. The guys were so so hot and they put on a really good show. Chris
This show was fantastic! Really good dancers, very entertaining, great humor and interaction. The guys spent a lot of time out in the audience so every seat in the house is a good seat. A very fun show to see and well worth it.
It was an amazing show! The men were all so very friendly :) I will for sure be back to see this show again next year !
It was the best part if our Las Vegas trip girls weekend!
Fun and entertaining!
I wish i stayed in Vegas for longer so i can do every single night!
Seriously one of the most fun and hilarious shows I've ever been to. It was like "Magic Mike," but live and in person. Though they didn't have the same sweet moves as my dearly beloved Channing Tatum, the guys were hot and it was so fun to go with a bunch of girls. I laughed almost the entire time, secretly hoping one of the men would drag me up on stage and shake it in my face. Recommending this to literally every woman I know; I will definitely be back.
The best way I can describe this show was Jaw dropping!! My throat still hurts from screaming!!
Fab night out for the ladies. Highly recommended!
Great Show. I have seen before and they have added new routines.
Awesome time!! These guys are very clean, professional and fun!! Totally worth it.
Tons of fun! This is the 2nd time I go and it's been worth the trip each time! Both were for 30th birthday celebrations for good friends. The show is alot of fun. I can't say I find it sexy per se. To me it's more about the entertainment value. Don't get me wrong, the men are beautiful and you're screaming your head off and having a great time, but if you're looking to be shoving dollars down someone's jock, this is not the place.
Show was fantastic, guys were great. Wish I had a closer seat.
Fun girlie night, great show.
Stephanie A USA
I had such a great time! This was my first time attending the show and I would def. come back. Great show for a bachelorette party!!
Great seats and great fun!! a wonderful way to have girls night out!
I went to watch the show on the 25th April with 3 other girls and what can i say apart from...wow! Brilliant show, amazing dancers who made everyone watching feel like were just looking at them :) a must while in Vegas!

Rethinking Genesis: The Sources and Authorship of the First Book of the Pentateuch
An assessment of the origins of the book of Genesis. Garrett looks at the various possible sources of information that Moses drew on in putting together his account of the origins of the earth and the appearance of the history of Israel.The documentary hypothesis has always been criticised from conservative theological circles. This has tended to be in the form of outright opposition to the concept and the insistence that Moses used no other source than inspiration by the Holy Spirit. The uniqueness of Garrett's approach is that he combines conservative theology with an investigation of the possible sources of information available to Moses.

Phoenix Suns
Could purple be a prominent Suns color after all?
Back on June 26, the Phoenix Suns officially unveiled four new logos for the upcoming 2013-14 season.
While the transition to a more prominent black and orange color scheme was not all that surprising given the court makeover US Airways Center underwent last season, there were plenty of people around the Valley who were confused by the organization's attempt to move away from the color purple — a staple since the 1968-69 expansion season.
As it turns out, though, purple might not be scrapped from the team's new-look attire.
Monday, the Suns tweeted out a picture of first-round pick Alex Len, who while ripping off his dress shirt, appears to be revealing one of the team's new jerseys.
The prominent color: purple.
Crisis averted? We'll see.
