Hogwash. Dress for your comfort and the weather. Wear your tennis whites if you wish. Nobody cares.

I just got back from Italy yesterday... We were in Tuscany and Rome. I had convinced my fiance not to bring shorts at all. While we were there we saw tons of Italian men in shorts, TONS. Michael gave me a dirty look everytime. Girls wore shorts a lot too. The difference though was that all the shorts were "nice" shorts - not ripped up jeans. I think you'd be perfectly fine wearing shorts and wouldn't get one weird look. Mike is never going to listen to me again regarding what to pack

You have to cover your knees and shoulders in churches. If you don't plan on going into churches then you can wear whatever you want. No one will care as you will note if you read one or two of the thousands of threads here on "what to wear." All threads say the same thing.
As to shorts and sandals - what will you wear if the weather turns cold and damp on the coast? Sandals are tough on gravel and uneven pavement. If cold and getting your feet dirty and gravely don't bother you then you have no problem. Wear whatever you want.
Report Abuse
I will repeat the advice to wear whatever you want. You are likely to be governed more by the weather than by the fashion police. We were on the Amalfi Coast and Capri the first week of October last year and, while it was sunny and mild on Capri, we had a couple of days of chilly rain on the Amalfi Coast. Take shorts but also take slacks for wet and chilly weather and for visiting churches.
Report Abuse
I'm just back from Italy too and Italians wear jeans, shorts, flipflops, tennis shoes. They guys tend to wear a more fitted short to the knee (yes, even in Rome). It's rare to see Italians not in jeans (tight/slim/fitted legs)these days unless they are on their way to work in an office.
Each year when I go to Italy, I see more and more jeans and shorts on all cultures. Every time I would see someone dressed as what is stated on this forum as typical American (jeans/shorts/tennis shoes/khakis), they were not speaking English and not American.
For October, I wouldn't take many shorts as it might be quite cool on the coast by then.
Report Abuse
Well that does it then, dress for comfort but have common sense what to wear when in church or out for a fine dinner !

Adrienne, sturdy walking sandals are just as good on rough surfaces as closed shoes. If the gravel is small, it might present a problem.
Report Abuse
We've been very lucky with weather there on two trips in late October.
I've worn sandals everywhere on the Amalfi Coast in October. The sandals I wore in town were meant more for walking than fashion (Ecco, Clarks), and I wore trekking-type sandals (Teva) on the Path of the Gods.
And my husband has worn shorts on the AC in October. Actually, he likes those pants that convert from long pants to shorts by zipping off the lower pant legs, and he has a pair that don't look too geeky. I prefer cropped pants that cover my knees, but if I was younger I'd wear shorts.

>>>But what I am reading on some of these forums is you don't wear shorts in Italy but capri's ??<<<
Some churches won't allow you in if wearing shorts. On days you plan to enter churches you will need the capris.
I wore Privo sandals most of the trip. There is a thread now about sandals in Rome.

WHITLOCK'S: "WHITLOCK'S" WHITLOCK'S Tip by NewTribe
WHITLOCK'S, Toronto: 2 reviews and 0 photos
Favorite Dish: The Sunday Brunch Menu, is different than the standard menu as far as I could tell.
There is a chef on station awaiting special orders, ie. creapes, omelettes, etc,
otherwise the menu is buffett style, but what a spread.
Literally, there is nothing left to want for... they thought of everything. The quality
are preparation of the food, not to mention the variety was great...I almost forgot
to mention, it's an all you can eat situation. The price is fixed at...I believe it was
$ 12.95 CAD or $ 8.20 USD. So if you find yourself hungry, and at 'The Beaches'...

This was a great tour that lived up to our expectations. The accommodations were excellent and our guide Cassandra was a real character, she was informative and entertaining. Although it is a bit cold touring in winter the upside was that visiting the ancient sites at Olympia, Delphi and Epidaurus without crowds was a real plus, also Meteora covered in snow is beautiful.
I already reviewed this tour in detail.

We couldn't be happier with this 4-day trip! Our guide Lila from CHAT tour was very knowledgeable and helpful. The schedule was well arrange with guided tour and enough free time to explore on our own. Though there were long dives between some destinations, they didn't feel long at all with story telling, and frequent stops at service areas and some charming coffee shops. The hotels Amalia through out the trip was pretty good too. Buffet dinner and breakfast were included with plenty of choices. The lunch places chosen were very good with authentic Greek dish, and very reasonable prices we were worried that we would be taken to touristy places with ripping-off prices. Our tour has 22 persons so there were plenty of room on the bus for everyone. We will definitely take another tour with CHAT if we ever come back go Greece again.
Tour itself was amazing but sometimes the leader wouldn and #39;t allow bathroom breaks unless they were already designated. Also hotels were very nice but always a ways out of the city center.
One of the best tours I've ever booked. Great guide and the company we had owns their own chain of hotels all over Greece so the accommodations were top notch. Truly some of the most beautiful areas in Greece!
Excellent! One of the besr trips I've ever had! Thank you, Stati for the great work you are doing!

This was an excellent trip. The guide was very informative, we saw so many unique places I never would have seen on my own. Absolutely loved all our stops and the hotels were nice.
Nicky J New Zealand
A fabulous 4 day tour! Our guide Helen was very knowledgeable, and our bus driver Legos was great. Well organised and Meteora is definitely worth visiting. The accommodation in Delphi had amazing views. Was a nice small group for the first two days which meant we got to know one another.
Awesome tour
Very organized. Well taken care of. Nice people. Beautiful bus and great driver. Tour guide, Effie, was excellent...very knowledgeable and interesting. Hotels were great....good food and amenities. Sites and tours were very amazing and well thought out. All in all, a very wonderful experience.
Very nice trip.Great guide!
This was an excellent way to experience a number of important world heritage sights in Greece. The tour was professionally lead and organized by our guide Joy. I benefitted from her extensive knowledge and engaging style. Our driver Costas was always helpful and friendly. He navigated us through difficult traffic and drivers with a smile. I highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to see the history and beauty of Greece.
Really excellent - Greece in 4 days. Comfortable coach, informative guides, excellent hotels.
Amazing! Leila was a superb guide!
OUTSTANDING tour and guide!!!!!! I had been on the 3-Day Peloponnese tour several years ago with my family, but this time took the 4-Day to include Meteora with my husband. WOW! Amazing tour! It's well worth the extra day and money to include Meteora!!! I can't say enough praises regarding our guide, Elaine, she was extremely knowledgeable, an archeologist by trade, therefore provided even more information on the history and ruins at each site! The 4 accommodations were outstanding, and the included meals as well! We were very pleased with the bus and driver too. Our group was a manageable size, with people from Australia, Canada, Singapore, England, Spain and the USA. Everyone was friendly and courteous, paying attention to the times given to board the bus. I can highly recommend this tour and will not hesitate to book with Viator again in the future.
This tour was amazing!
Highly recommend this tour for any one interested in Greek history. Joy is an excellent Tour guide! My teenage girls so did we just loved the way she interacted and kept things interesting for everyone! Very informative. The food was mostly good, except for the first day dinner. Hotels we stayed were mostly in remote locations, but good.
The tour was magnificent. The tour guide dementia was amazing, knowledgeable and passionate about Greek history. So glad I booked the 4 day tour.
Emigrated our guide was excellent and very patient and accomodating
We were a little nervous about taking a big bus tour but this one was excellent. Irene was our guide and she was very thorough and led a very interesting tour. I know we could not have learned as much or even been able to handle driving thru Greece on our own and we normally prefer to rent a car and do it ourselves. The bus was very clean and our driver was excellent as well. The hotels were nice with large rooms and lots of food for our dinners. I would recommend the 4 day over the 2 day as the people who joined us half way thru missed some wonderful sites. You definitely get your money's worth and I highly recommend taking this tour.
This tour was terrific. A great experience!We saw so much of Greece as well as visiting some wonderful unique archaeological sites.
Our tour guide Effie was great, sharing her extensive knowledge of Greek history and mythology.
I highly recommend this tour for any traveller who wants to see and experience some highlights of Greece, especially a visit to the unique and beautiful Meteora.
This tour was amazing!
This tour was great- the driver Alex and the Guide Joy were both amazing and they take you through some of the most amazing sites. I agree with other reviewers that the hotels and meals are not the best, but you aren't going on this tour for the luxury-you're going for the transportation to the ancient sites and the experienced guide.
I went at the end of May and our group was 20 people which was the perfect size, but on the last day for Meteora only we took on an additional 19 people and the bus was full, but our guide still managed everyone very well and kept us all engaged.

Laurence Gonzales Deep Survival Who Lives Who Dies and Why
Laurence Gonzales - Deep Survival: Who Lives, Who Dies, and Why {Audiobook} [8 CDs - WMAs]
English | Size: 876.41 MB
Category:Misc: Audio
Examining such stories of miraculous endurance and tragic death梙ow people get into trouble and how they get out again (or not)桪eep Survival takes us from the tops of snowy mountains and the depths of oceans to the workings of the brain that control our behavior. Through close analysis of case studies, Laurence Gonzales describes the "stages of survival" and reveals the essence of a survivor梩ruths that apply not only to surviving in the wild but also to surviving life-threatening illness, relationships, the death of a loved one, running a business during uncertain times, even war.
Fascinating for any reader, and absolutely essential for anyone who takes a hike in the woods, this book will change the way we understand ourselves and the great outdoors.
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
When confronted with a life-threatening situation, 90% of people freeze or panic, says Gonzales in this exploration of what makes the remaining 10% stay cool, focused and alive. Gonzales (The Hero's Apprentice; The Still Point), who has covered survival stories for National Geographic Explorer, Outside and Men's Journal, uncovers the biological and psychological reasons people risk their lives and why some are better at it than others. In the first part of the book, the author talks to dozens of thrill-seekers-mountain climbers, sailors, jet pilots-and they all say the same thing: danger is a great rush. "Fear can be fun," Gonzales writes. "It can make you feel more alive, because it is an integral part of saving your own life." Pinpointing why and how those 10% survive is another story. "They are the ones who can perceive their situation clearly; they can plan and take correct action," Gonzales explains. Survivors, whether they're jet pilots landing on the deck of an aircraft carrier or boatbuilders adrift on a raft in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, share certain traits: training, experience, stoicism and a capacity for their logical neocortex (the brain's thinking part) to override the primitive amygdala portion of their brains. Although there's no surefire way to become a survivor, Gonzales does share some rules for adventure gleaned from the survivors themselves: stay calm, be decisive and don't give up. Remembering these rules when crisis strikes may be tough, but Gonzales's vivid descriptions of life in the balance will stay with readers.

From Booklist
What impels people to risk their lives by climbing mountains or deep-sea diving? What confluence of forces leads to drastic accidents? Why do some people survive disasters while others perish? A renowned journalist intrigued with risk, Gonzales conducts an in-depth and engrossing inquiry into the dynamics of survival. Relating one hair-raising true story after another about wilderness adventures gone catastrophically wrong and other calamities, Gonzales draws on sources as diverse and compelling as the Stoic philosophers and neuroscience to elucidate the psychological, physiological, and spiritual strengths that enable certain individuals to avoid fatal panic and make that crucial "transition from victim to survivor." People who survive being lost or adrift at sea, for instance, pay close attention to their surroundings and respect the wild. Gonzales also notes that survivors think of others, either helping a fellow sufferer or rallying to outsmart death in order to spare loved ones anguish. The study of survival offers an illuminating portal into the human psyche, and Gonzales, knowledgeable and passionate, is a compelling and trustworthy guide. Donna Seaman

揋reat stories of disaster and survival where one irresistibly wonders, 'How would I do in this circumstance?' combined with revealing science about the physiology and psychology of how we deal with crisis. [Gonzales's] science is accurate, accessible, up-to-date and insightful. An extremely good book.?(Robert Sapolsky, author of Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers)
揕aurence Gonzales has masterfully woven together personal survival stories with the study of human perception to reach rock-bottom truths about how to live with risk.?(Peter Stark, author of Last Breath: The Limits of Adventure)
揇eep Survival provides a new lens for looking at survival, risk taking, and life itself. Gonzales takes the reader on a rollercoaster ride that ends with rules of survival we can all stand to learn. Equally important, he answers the question: what is the value of taking risks. I love this book.?(Jed Williamson, editor, Accidents in North American Mountaineering)
揜emarkable, unique, and compulsively readable, Deep Survival is three books in one: a compendium of vivid tales of disasters and near misses in the wilderness; a probing analysis of what the latest neuroscience and psychology can tell us about 'who lives and who dies'; and, finally, a moving memoir about Gonzales's father, whose own miraculous survival after a plane crash behind German lines in World War II launched the author on his lifelong quest into the mystery of risk and adventure.?(David Roberts, author of True Summit: What Really Happened on the Legendary Ascent on Annapurna)
揚rofessional rescuers will love this book. It goes to the heart of the instincts that drive us to risk our own lives to save others. Gonzales tells us what we subconsciously know梐nything is possible.?(Jacki Golike, Executive Director, National Association for Search and Rescue)
揇eep Survival is by far the best book on the many insights into epic survival stories I have ever read.?(Daryl Miller, Chief of Mountaineering, Denali National Park & Preserve)

About the Author
Laurence Gonzales is the author of the bestseller Deep Survival: Who Lives, Who Dies, and Why. He has won two National Magazine awards and the Distinguished Service Award from the Society of Professional Journalists. He lives in Evanston, Illinois.
From AudioFile
Laurence Gonzales's father, a WWII pilot, was the only one to escape a wartime crash. A 17-year-old girl was the sole survivor of a Peruvian plane crash. What makes one person a victim and another a survivor? Gonzales suggests that in life-and-death situations, unconventional thought patterns and managing fear through dark humor, play, and laughter help ensure survival by tempering negative emotions. Stefan Rudnicki's reading makes these harrowing anecdotes unfold like fiction. By underplaying the gruesome moments, Rudnicki highlights Gonzales's excellent research on the neurological, physiological, and psychological strengths needed when people find their lives threatened. This is an exciting listen, filled with amazing stories and helpful tips for everyone.

The Jamaica Gleaner reports that Trinidad & Tobago's state-owned natural gas company intends to supply LNG to Jamaica, but not before 2009. The delay may imperil Alcoa Corporation's support for the proposed expansion of the Jamalco alumina refinery, which it jointly owns with the Jamaican government. According to an Alcoa representative, even if supply is secured, "the project will be re-evaluated against factors such as market conditions and expansion opportunities at other locations around the world."

Both PKA and Epac Pathways Mediate N-Acetylcysteine-Induced Connexin43 Preservation in Rats with Myocardial Infarction

PLoS ONE | Year: 2013
Cardiac remodeling was shown to be associated with reduced gap junction expression after myocardial infarction. A reduction in gap junctional proteins between myocytes may trigger ventricular arrhythmia. Therefore, we investigated whether N-acetylcysteine exerted antiarrhythmic effect by preserving connexin43 expression in postinfarcted rats, focusing on cAMP downstream molecules such as protein kinase A (PKA) and exchange protein directly activated by cAMP (Epac). Male Wistar rats after ligating coronary artery were randomized to either vehicle, or N-acetylcysteine for 4 weeks starting 24 hours after operation. Infarct size was similar between two groups. Compared with vehicle, cAMP levels were increased by N-acetylcysteine treatment after infarction. Myocardial connexin43 expression was significantly decreased in vehicle-treated infarcted rats compared with sham operated rats. Attenuated connexin43 expression and function were blunted after administering N-acetylcysteine, assessed by immunofluorescent analysis, dye coupling, Western blotting, and real-time quantitative RT-PCR of connexin43. Arrhythmic scores during programmed stimulation in the N-acetylcysteine-treated rats were significantly lower than those treated with vehicle. In an ex vivo study, enhanced connexin43 levels afforded by N-acetylcysteine were partially blocked by either H-89 (a PKA inhibitor) or brefeldin A (an Epac-signaling inhibitor) and completely blocked when H-89 and brefeldin A were given in combination. Addition of either the PKA specific activator N6Bz or Epac specific activator 8-CPT did not have additional increased connexin43 levels compared with rats treated with lithium chloride alone. These findings suggest that N-acetylcysteine protects ventricular arrhythmias by attenuating reduced connexin43 expression and function via both PKA- and Epac-dependent pathways, which converge through the inactivation of glycogen synthase kinase-3β. © 2013 Lee et al.

Background. Accurate stereotactic placement of the electrode into the subthalamic nucleus (STN) is imperative to the therapeutic efficacy of deep brain stimulation (DBS). However, it is not always possible to directly visualize the very small STN using 1.5T MR imaging. Objective. To evaluate whether 3T MR imaging can provide better identification of the STN and clinical outcome than 1.5T MR imaging. Methods. Thirty-nine patients with advanced Parkinson's disease underwent 1.5T (n = 16) or 3T (n = 23) fast spin echo T2-weighted (FSE-T2WI) MR imaging for targeting the STN. A semi-quantitative 3-point scoring system was proposed to rank the clearness of STN contour: Score "0" if non-visible; Score "1" if visible but with blurred margin; and "2" if visible with clear margin. The unified Parkinson's disease rating scale (UPDRS) was also compared before operation and post-operation. Results. The STN score was 2 in all the patients of the 3T group, whereas it was relatively blurred (mean score, 1.19) in the 1.5T group (P < 0.001). The number of microelectrode trajectories (1.2 versus 1.5; P < 0.05) was lower in the 3T group; consequently, the operative time was also less (P < 0.05) as compared with that in the 1.5T group. The outcome of UPDRS motor examination showed no significant difference in two groups. Conclusion. 3T MR imaging is a reliable and more accurate method for direct targeting of the STN for DBS surgery. However, the technique of high-sequence MR imaging may not influence the clinical outcome significantly. © 2014 The Neurosurgical Foundation. Source

Health and Quality of Life Outcomes | Year: 2014
Background: The brief version of World Health Organization Quality of Life assessment (WHOQOL-BREF), a useful outcome measure for clinical decision making, has been evaluated using classical test theory (CTT) for psychometric properties on heroin-dependent patients. However, CTT has a major disadvantage of invalid summated score, and using Rasch models can overcome the shortcoming. The purpose of this study was using Rasch models to evaluate the psychometric properties of the WHOQOL-BREF for heroin-dependent patients, and the hypothesis was that each WHOQOL-BREF domain is unidimensional.Methods: Two hundred thirty six participants (24 females, mean [SD] age = 38.07 [7.44] years, first used heroin age = 26.13 [6.32] years), with a diagnosis of opioid dependence, were recruited from a methadone maintenance treatment program. Each participant filled out the WHOQOL-BREF. Parallel analysis (PA) and Rasch rating scale models were used for statistical analyses.Results: Based on the PA analyses, four domains of the WHOQOL-BREF were unidimensional. The Rasch analyses showed three negatively worded items (2 in Physical and 1 in Psychological) reported as misfits that may not contribute to the Physical and Psychological domains; one positively worded item in the Physical domain may be redundant. All values for the separation indices were above 2 except for the person separation index in the Physical domain (1.93). Category functioning and item independency of four WHOQOL-BREF domains were supported by the Rasch analyses, and there were 5 items showing the differential item function (DIF) for positive versus negative HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) infection.Conclusions: The WHOQOL-BREF is a valid outcome measure for assessing general quality of life for substance abusers in terms of physical, psychological, social, and environmental factors. It can also be used as a treatment outcome measure to evaluate the effect of treatments for substance abusers. However, the three misfit negatively worded items should be used with caution because the substance abuser may not fully understand their meaning. Future research may apply cognitive interviews to determine the cognitive functioning of substance abusers and their interpretation of negatively worded items. © 2014 Chang et al.; licensee BioMed Central Ltd.

Adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ADSCs) have two essential characteristics with regard to regenerative medicine: the convenient and efficient generation of large numbers of multipotent cells and in vitro proliferation without a loss of stemness. The implementation of clinical trials has prompted widespread concern regarding safety issues and has shifted research toward the therapeutic efficacy of stem cells in dealing with neural degeneration in cases such as stroke, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease, cavernous nerve injury, and traumatic brain injury. Most existing studies have reported that cell therapies may be able to replenish lost cells and promote neuronal regeneration, protect neuronal survival, and play a role in overcoming permanent paralysis and loss of sensation and the recovery of neurological function. The mechanisms involved in determining therapeutic capacity remain largely unknown; however, this concept can still be classified in a methodical manner by citing current evidence. Possible mechanisms include the following: 1) the promotion of angiogenesis, 2) the induction of neuronal differentiation and neurogenesis, 3) reductions in reactive gliosis, 4) the inhibition of apoptosis, 5) the expression of neurotrophic factors, 6) immunomodulatory function, and 7) facilitating neuronal integration. In this study, several human clinical trials using ADSCs for neuronal disorders were investigated. It is suggested that ADSCs are one of the choices among various stem cells for translating into clinical application in the near future. © 2015 Cognizant Comm. Corp. Source

Background: The retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) thickness is reportedly decreased in myopia; however, magnification adjustment is an important consideration when using optical coherence tomography (OCT) to evaluate myopic eyes. In this study, RNFL thickness and optic nerve head (ONH) size were measured in highly myopic eyes with and without magnification adjustments. The measurements were compared with magnification-adjusted OCT measurements of emmetropic control eyes. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, RNFL thickness (global circle and quadrants) and ONH size (disc and rim areas) were measured in one eye of each of 70 participants with high myopia. Magnification-adjusted measurements taken in the high myopes were then compared with magnification-adjusted measurements taken in 70 emmetropic controls. Results: Comparisons of magnification-adjusted measurements between highly myopic and emmetropic control eyes showed that the highly myopic eyes had significantly thicker global and temporal RNFLs (p < 0.05), significantly thinner nasal RNFL (p < 0.05), and significantly larger disc and rim areas (p < 0.05). Superior and inferior RNFL thickness measurements did not differ significantly between the two groups (p > 0.05). Conclusion: The OCT measurements obtained with magnification adjustment show global and temporal RNFL thicknesses and ONH size increase in highly myopic eyes. © 2012 The Author Clinical and Experimental Optometry © 2012 Optometrists Association Australia.
