BOSTON – The clock crept on midnight at Fenway Park – and most of the announced sellout crowd of 37,223 – was likely dozing off.
But it was the Orioles bullpen that put the Red Sox bats to sleep Friday night, throwing eight shutout innings – running its scoreless-inning streak to 19 innings – propelling the Orioles to a 6-4 13-inning win over the Red Sox.
It was the Orioles' fourth win in their last five games here at Fenway dating back to last season after losing six in a row. It was also Baltimore's fifth win in six games against Boston overall.
The Orioles bullpen hasn't allowed a run since last Friday against Oakland, but the Baltimore relievers have dominated all season long, pitching to a 1.56 ERA this season.
"I just think everybody knows when it's their turn, so far we're going to be able to pass the load around, when it's their time to contribute," Orioles manager Buck Showalter said. "That bodes well for their health, the rest factor. But I thought [Troy] Patton was big tonight. I had him up two or three times, trying to keep the left-handers on the bench. And he got some right-handed hitters out in Fenway Park, which is tough for a left-hander."
Right-handers Pedro Strop and Luis Ayala, and left-hander Troy Patton, each threw two shutout innings. Matt Lindstrom threw a perfect sixth.
The Orioles' bullpen stranded five base runners, including one in scoring position in the 10th, when Ayala induced a fly out to center with runners at first and second and two out. Ayala, who has yet to allow an earned run, ran his personal scoreless-inning streak to 14 innings.
"I think Buck really likes to keep a hold on the role thing, other than the closer he doesn't like to give out roles, probably for that reason," Patton said. "So everybody is ready to go. I think he likes keep everyone on their toes and everyone ready to pitch."
Orioles closer Jim Johnson converted his eighth save of the season in the 13th, his 16th straight save dating back to last season 10 minutes shy of midnight to complete the four-hour, 37-minute marathon.
The Orioles (17-9), who rallied from behind three times to force extra innings, scored two runs in the 13th. Matt Wieters' one-out single was followed by a walk to Wilson Betemit.
Chris Davis then hit a single past diving Boston second baseman Dustin Pedroia to score Wieters. Mark Reynolds' sac fly scored Betemit for make it 6-4.
Reynolds, mired in a season-long slump, hit his first homer of the season, drove in two runs and scored two runs.
"I felt good tonight," Reynolds said. "I got that first hit in that first at bat and I think I drew a walk and a double and a sac fly. I was feeling good. My other out, I had a hard line drive to the leftfielder. So you know, hopefully this will be the start of me putting some good swings on the ball and you know start contributing around here."
Reynolds' home run was a solo shot off Red Sox starter Jon Lester that tied the game at 1 in the third inning. The homer nearly cleared the seats above the Green Monster in left and was Reynolds' first homer in 76 at bats, the third longest homerless stretch of his career.
"He had some really good at-bats tonight," Showalter said. "I thought the tack-on run, that's one of the things good clubs are able to do. Very little margin for error there in the last inning. But I hope so. We'll see. Mark's obviously streaky and I hope this is the beginning of him being able to contribute the way he's able to offensively."
Despite committing three errors –including two on back-to-back plays in the first inning – the Orioles played the Red Sox run for run.
Orioles left-hander Wei-Yin Chen, making his first start at Fenway Park, lasted just five innings, allowing four runs – three earned – on five hits, striking out four and walking three. It was the first time in five major-league starts that Chen didn't give the Orioles a quality start.
In a game tied 4-4, shortstop J.J. Hardy made a game-saving play in the eighth – lunging to his left and snagging Cody Ross' liner destined for center and throwing from his knees to first to get David Ortiz before he could get back to the base.
Lester, who entered the night with a career 14-0 record against the Orioles, left the game with a 4-3 lead after six innings, but the Orioles scored a run off Vicente Padilla in the seventh to tie the game at 4.
Trailing 4-3 in the seventh against Padilla, the Orioles had the bases loaded with no outs but scored just one run. Reynolds doubled to lead off the inning, and Red Sox first baseman Adrian Gonzalez fielded Ronny Paulino's grounder, threw to third but couldn't get Reynolds.
That put runners at the corners and a walk to Robert Andino loaded the bases. Hardy hit into a 4-6-3 double play that scored Reynolds. Rich Hill then replaced Padilla and induced a fly out from Nick Markakis to end the inning, but the Orioles tied the score at 4.
After going six games without an error, the Orioles committed three errors in the first two innings. Baltimore committed back-to-back throwing errors by Andino and Reynolds in the first, but Chen was able to pitch around that.

Straw Dogs
If you like your ultra-violence with a pulse, you must see Sam Peckinpah's Straw Dogs—the tale of David and Amy Sumner, played with fervor by Dustin Hoffman and Susan George. Unlike Hoffman's more well-known portrayals of a man with wisdom and/or humor, his performance in the film produces a chill and admiration that could rival with any cold-blooded killer onscreen. He plays a mathematician who, with his wife, decides to take up residency in her native village of rural England. A place that seems peaceful, yet is nothing but—occupied with Cornish thugs, rat-breeders, tyrants and more than one sexual deviant.
While trying to find relaxation and work on their marriage and his profession, the two find themselves in a vicious and animalistic race to restore peace, David's masculinity, and to survive. After days of passive-aggressive plots, spiteful conversation, and violence against women, a local girl goes missing. The man suspected of her demise, Henry Niles (David Warner), the town metal-handicap, winds up in the Sumner's custody one evening. While protecting him in his home, a war unfolds between Sumner and the village thugs, unleashing a competition of wit vs. experience that sends more than one man to their graves.
Using key tools to portray the violence are what set Straw Dogs apart from other ultra-violent films and are examples (many derived from Akira Kurosawa) that films of the genre still implore us to witness today. Telephoto lenses, multi-camera filming, slow-motion violence, and montage are all used superbly in order to shake the audience to the verge of either disgust or glorious praise.
With Straw Dogs, Peckinpah wanted to explore the violence in human affairs and emotions to try and tap into its psychological, emotional, sexual, and physical components. He wanted, not only for us to see its inevitability, but to root for the violent protagonist simply because we can relate to his principles. Highly Recommended!
Straw Dogs was nominated for an Oscar for Best Original Score.

The Alabama Crimson Tide dominated Notre Dame in last night's BCS Championship Game. This really is not debatable. Alabama beat the Irish on offense, on defense, and on special teams. They led the game 35-0 at one point. They rolled up 529 yards on a Notre Dame defense that was supposed to be amongst the best in the country, and neutralized Heisman finalist Manti Te'o.
You know this because you watched the game. Here are some people who must not have watched the game, alleging the outcome a function of corrupt referees rather than Alabama's physical, mental, and tactical dominance.

Many of us must have faced the problem of delayed GPS Lock-on to satellites while using Google Maps or any other App that requires to obtain location from GPS. This is a common problem faced by many users. Sometimes it can take up to 5-10 mins for the GPS to lock on. It can get really irritating when you are in need of directions and your GPS takes ages to lock on to a satellite.
The trick we mention enables you to preset your region in your gps.conf file that is present is "system/etc" folder. This does considerably speed up the process of connecting to GPS but restricts you to that particular region. Which means that if you are living in, lets say "Italy" then it will connect to GPS in "Italy" very fast. But if you travel abroad to some other country, it wont connect to GPS at all as you have preset the region to Italy. If you wish to travel abroad, then all you have to do is restore the original gps.conf file.

Today is a little bit of a teaser. Sorry. Just as I did for Thanksgiving, today I'm sharing a Holiday Dinner Cooking Schedule for my favorite special occasion menu. This menu was my go-to for my catering days - all of my clients' favorites.
The Beef Tenderloin is unbelievable... and so easy. It is a little bit of an investment, but if you go easy on the rest of the meal you can pull it off.
During the month of December, I would have made this 10 times for various holiday parties! I used a worksheet just like this to keep myself organized and to keep everything running on time... and ready at the same time. Timing is key for entertaining and doing a little countdown like this helps you be able to put your brain on auto pilot when your guests are there.
You can find all of the worksheets for downloading (including cooking schedule, bar set up and blank) here in PDF, Numbers or Excel.
I'll be sharing all of the recipes the rest of the week. One of the recipes that I've already shared is the Chocolate Molten Cakes. Not only was this my most popular dessert for my business, it has become my most popular post, as well. They are great for a crowd because they're made in a cupcake pan.
I'll post all of the other recipes and updating this post with links Thursday - Friday! Have a great Wednesday!

For the molten cakes, if I prepare and refrigerate them a couple of days in advance, should I take them out of the refrigerator early to let them warm a bit to room temperature before sticking in the oven?
I like your post a lot! You should write some more on this!Great job coming with such terrific post!ReplyDelete
Looks like will be a delicious recipe to enjoy. I am a lover of different type of cuisine and searching from internet and other sources.ReplyDelete

As with the FIFA World Cup, the European Champion Clubs' Cup and the modern Olympics, the first major European national competition was the brainchild of a Frenchman: Henri Delaunay, the secretary of the French Football Federation.
He initially mooted his vision in 1927, but it took the advent of UEFA in 1954 to truly get the project off the ground. Even then, some of Europe's member associations remained reticent, and by the time the green light was shown at the 1957 UEFA Congress, Delaunay had passed away two years previously. Far from forgotten, however, he was a natural choice when it came to naming the trophy.
Delaunay's native France was selected from among the semi-finalists to host the first final tournament, but that was still a long way off when teething troubles emerged early on. Only a flurry of late applications took the number of entries over the required minimum of 16, and when the inaugural European Nations' Cup eventually got under way it did so without Italy, West Germany and England.
Built around a format of knockout home-and-away games until the semi-final stage, the competition finally became reality with the first match played at Moscow's Tsentralni Lenin Stadium on 28 September 1958. On that historic day, 100,572 people turned out to watch Anatoli Ilyin become the first scorer after just four minutes, as the USSR defeated Hungary 3-1 before advancing 4-1 on aggregate.
Through to the last eight, the Soviets were refused entry in Spain by General Franco, effectively handing Gavril Kachalin's side a bye. Fellow semi-finalists France, Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia all progressed to the final tournament in more traditional fashion, yet any notion the Soviets did not deserve their place was quickly dispelled in Marseille, where the Czechs succumbed 3-0 with Valentin Ivanov scoring twice.
The hosts were eliminated in a thrilling 5-4 loss to Yugoslavia, still the competition's highest-scoring match. Raymond Kopa and Just Fontaine were missing for the French, but there was no denying the flair of the Yugoslavs – which contrasted neatly with the defensive fortitude of their opponents when the final kicked off in Paris on 10 July 1960.
Indeed, thanks to legendary USSR goalkeeper Lev Yashin, Milan Galić's deflected effort was all the Yugoslavs had to show for 90 minutes of domination. Slava Metreveli's equaliser took the game into extra-time and, as Yugoslavia began fading, Viktor Ponedelnik headed in to claim the Soviet Union's first and only trophy.
"There are matches and goals which are really special, sort of a climax of a player's sporting life," Ponedelnik said later. "That was the star moment of my life." For the tournament itself, there would be many more to come.

If an organization happens to maintain the top spot on the Google search result, as you could probably guess, it did not occur without a good technique, a well thought out plan and the assistance of a skilled Google Domination expert.
When customers or potential customers see that your brand has full domination of the first page of Google's search results, it will direct their focus, views, and opinions about who the industry leader might be. In fact, at that particular time, regardless of what position a business may hold in the marketplace on a worldwide basis, when they have complete domination of the entire first page of the Google search results, they are perceived as the industry leader in the mind of the customer. Additionally, it will help companies improve their chances of obtaining more traffic that leads users to their website or landing page. They may also experience a higher conversion rate as well.
Having an appearance on multiple spots of the Google search results will send a message loud and clear that you are the industry leader and the authority, even if you in fact, are not. That's simply the power of marketing and branding.
Utilizing the skills of an expert Google Domination professional will help businesses world wide level the playing field so that other (smaller businesses) may have the opportunity to capture more traffic as a result of their high ranking on Google's search results page. However, because of the powerful effects of the domination services, it does come with a high price and may not be for everyone.
Although it is almost impossible to delete negative feedback and reviews, an effective reputation management strategy pushes those negative links to the last pages of the search engines' result pages where there is less traffic and watchful eyes. People with ill intentions may always make negative remarks. They could be your own employees who are disgruntled or competitors who want to pull you down. You should not hide in shame. You must stand up and build your credibility. No one else will do that for you. Think of your reputation as a big white cloth. The stain is only a dot, but some people will point to the dot so others can see, but you can also point to the larger part of the white cloth that is untarnished, so other will see how clean those parts are. When you are able to do that, you will have won the battle. Having an Online Reputation Management plan will help put you on the path of feeling confident that you will not have to deal with those negative comments ever again.
If you want to protect yourself or your company from further tarnishing of your online reputation, let Authority Solutions™ Experts help you with your Online Reputation Management.

GIS Aptitude with Maptitude 5.0
By Susan Smith
|[ Click to Enlarge ]
"The display manager is a tool for accessing all of the styles in your map from a single floating window, greatly increasing the users ability to start using Maptitude right-away," explained Stewart Berry, Maptitude product manager and GIS Specialist for Caliper.
For people who want to go beyond the basics, there's the extensive online help plus a hard copy manual shipped with the product that includes many quick starts and tutorials.
A key feature of Maptitude is its free data. Caliper provides a huge amount of Census Data bundled with the product, and with the new release includes the latest ZIP Code boundaries. "We now ship the latest version of TIGER streets, ZIP Code points, plus additional Census MCD, SMCDs, and new demographics," said Berry. "As of 2006 we have updated demographics for several levels of geography and also include new global datasets. You can create attractive looking maps for any place in the world out-of-the-box."
Customers range from the Census Bureau who use Caliper's mapping software to manage the next round of geography creation for the Census, to those in many sectors including banking, public health, community development, retail, real estate, sales and marketing.
According to Berry, one of the most significant features about Maptitude 5.0 is its completely redesigned interface, which includes Windows-standard features such as data undo and redo and dockable and resizable toolbars. The product supports ease-of-use "above and beyond" what it supported in previous releases. Included in the package are the latest ZIP Codes, the updated demographics, and major travel-based tools that allow the creation of bands based on distance, time, or other costs along street lines, plus the ability to assign roads to zones or districts based on proximity to point locations such as stores. This latter network partitioning tool allows you to use your facilities located on a map to partition the streets into their own trade areas based on travel time or costs across the street network. This allows you to create territories based on the streets rather than just areas.
Other new features include more flexible legends, improved thematic mapping, a geocoding tool for cities in the US and internationally, and file format compatibility with ESRI personal geodatabases, MS Access, Excel 2007, JPEG 2000 and Google Earth. Maptitude is compatible with Microsoft Windows 2000, XP and Vista, as well as many other GIS and database software.
With Maptitude you can connect to Google Earth so that you export a map image out of Maptitude and see it located in Google Earth. Alternatively, you can take a Google Earth image and see it as an image layer in Maptitude. "We also allow you to export to KML or KMZ so you can take your entire map and export every layer and then be able to open Google and manipulate those layers within Google," Berry said.
Programmers will note that the Maptitude GISDK language now supports object-oriented programming, and Maptitude 5 is .NET enabled.
Pricing: A single license is only $495. Discounts are available for 10 or more copies.
Caliper GIS software is used by more than 50,000 users in over 70 countries.

On December 31, 2008, the Grandfathering Provision of the GIS Certification Institute's (GISCI) certification program expires. A typical applicant for Geographic Information Systems Professional (GISP) certification must claim and document achievement in three distinct categories:
1. Educational Achievement (formal and informal courses and conferences related to geospatial and GIS technology).
2. Professional Experience (professional positions involving GIS).
3. Contributions to the Profession (professional and personal activities designed to elevate and promote the GIS profession to others).
The members of the Open Geospatial Consortium, Inc. (OGC) have approved version 1.0 of the OpenGIS(R) Observations & Measurements (O&M) Encoding Standard.
The O&M standard defines an abstract model and an XML schema encoding for observations and measurements. This framework is required for use by other OGC Sensor Web Enablement (SWE) standards as well as for general support for OGC compliant systems dealing in technical measurements in science and engineering. As a new international consensus standard in an era of increasing scientific cooperation, O&M promises to play an important role in Web-based publishing of real-time and archived scientific data across research disciplines and application domains.
The merger of all YMS and GCWare branches under the transnational YMS Group's single roof signals a new direction in the IT market for special solutions using geographical information. Current operations in Dubai, London, Germany and China as well as comprehensive development firms in the Czech Republic and Slovakia have already been working and will be under the common YMS Group flag.

38 thoughts on "The Front Bottom Buffet"
This is brilliant. There does need to be a module about the importance of peeing after sex. I think Come, Pee, Cuddle would make a good slogan for a T Shirt campaign! Cystitis is evil. If men suffered with it, they'd be a (tax free) cure by now.
This is so true!
ON a serious, informative note – I take cranberry capsules and they do seem to work.
I recently discovered my local pharmacy sells an unbranded thursh treatment capsule for half the price of canesten
Er, men can get cystitis
Last year I had to buy thrush medication on my birthday. I was (still am) so broke that I had to use most of the £20 that my Dad stuck in my card to get it. The only thing my local chemist stocked was a pessary, which refused to dissolve in my apparently desert-like love canal, resulting in uncured thrush, and a week of chalk slowly sliding out of me every time I showered.
And I have never told anyone, except my thankfully very-progressive and totally-unflappable boyfriend. Because 'malfunctioning vagina shame'.
Okay, so this article just made me realise that, at 17, I know fuck all about anything to do with this. So could you please: a) Write an article actually explaining all the lovely infections/situations that can occur and how best to deal with them or b) Point me in the direction of somewhere that I can learn about all this, because, while our sex education nowadays may have progressed from "DON'T DO IT UNLESS YOU WANT TO GO HELL" it is still woefully lacking. Thank-you.
Whilst acknowledging the serious nature of this, this had me in giggles all the way through. It has to be natural (live) yoghurt though, pasteurized doesn't work lol
Muller crunch corners….hahaha epic
Yes we do. It felt like trying to pass needles.
I would never consider dunking my genitals in yoghurt as a cure though. I've usually just found that drinking plenty of water helps by at least reducing the acidity of my urine.
At 19 I have just realised exactly the same thing! To be perfectly honest I did not even realise cystitis was anything to do with sex and i have never even thought about peeing after sex. i agree completely, more info is needed!
I have had cystitis for over 10 years (from weird 'feeling funny after peeing' to 'holy shit I'm pissing blood, let's go hang out in A&E'). I've tried cutting things from my diet, adding things to my diet, herbal remedies, all the drugs I can get my grubby hands on and it makes ultimately no difference. Ladies, it's a shit show and all you can do is swap horror stories and chat about it with your partners and mates. It's amazing how many people feel alone when it comes to cystitis or thrush (don't even get me started on Bartholin's cysts…)
Come, pee like a race horse from the amount of water you sexily glugged pre-sex (and then glugged post-sex but pre- toilet), cuddle. Just like all those sex scenes in the movies…
Here's what I know.
There are loads of STDs that you can get, which tend be covered in a fair amount of detail elsewhere, so I'll leave those out. (Short story: use condoms). Apart from that, there are (I think) two main vagina troubles you can get, (which can be, but aren't necessarily) associated with sex. Both are reasonably common.
1. Cystitis. (A kind of urinary tract infection, aka. a UTI).
It makes you feel like you need to pee ALL THE TIME. Also, when you do pee, it feels like instead of urine, you are passing razor blades. A nasty combination.
What people tell you to do: drink cranberry juice.
What you should actually do: the first time you get it go to the doctors, just to check that is what it is. (Or if you get it more than three times per year). Other than that:
a) painkillers
b) drink lots of water (to dilute your urine and make it less acidic, and so less painful). You can also get sachets of cranberry stuff (over the counter) which I think is called something like 'oasis' (other brands available, although not at the tesco's within limping distance of my office) which alter your pee as well.
c) avoid having sex – friction can aggravate it (like you'd be in the mood anyway).
If it's really bad, the doctor might give you antibiotics to make it heal up quicker.
2. Thrush (A yeast infection, caused by an imbalance of good/bad bacteria in your vagina. Lovely)
It gives you an itchy, sometimes sore, lady-area, and sometimes you also get a thick and bad-smelling discharge in your knickers.
What people tell you to do: put food items with anti-bacterial properties (generally live yoghurt and garlic) in and around your vagina.
What you should actually do: Again, go to the doctor if it's the first time you've got it, to make sure that is in fact what you've got. And again, if you get it frequently, go back again (apart from anything else, you'll want a prescription so the treatment only costs £7, rather than £12+) Apart from that, over the counter treatments come in (I think) three forms. Tablet (oral) or pessary (vaginal) which deal with the internal infection, and creams, which you can put on the external skin to soothe the itchy/soreness.
Good Vag Habits:
Both of these delights can be prevented with similar measures, which basically amount to good hygiene (to keep the various kinds of between-the-leg bacteria in the right places, and under control.
1. Wash your lady parts (to keep them clean) but don't use perfumed soaps/any sprays (to avoid upsetting the 'natural balance' of bacteria that should be there). Gently getting some warm water in and around the area when you shower should be sufficient.
2. Wipe from front to back after you go to the loo, so any germs get taken backwards to the hardy bum-region, rather than into the more particular areas at the front.
3. Live by LB's 'Come, Pee, Cuddle' mantra, to flush any bacteria that could have got into the utrethra (pee tube) back out again. (My doctor also suggest peeing before sex if possible).
4. Make sure you're wet enough before sex (or use lubricant – fun too) to avoid too much friction.
5. Wear cotton undies in the day, and at night keep it bare and naked (or at least clean and loose-fitting).
6. Don't have unprotected sex when you've got a bout of either of these, because your partner (of either gender) can become infected. And apart from that not being a nice gift to pass on, if they've got it and you're healed, they can reinfect you back if you have sex again.
I think that's probably most of what you need to know. If you haven't had these things yet, then do your best to follow the preventative tips, but know that you will probably get each of these at least once. It's kind of a right of passage though, and when you look back on it later it's (kind of) hilarious. Good luck!
This made me laugh so much! When I was 23 I had a urinary infection that felt like it lasted for months. The doctors kept giving me antibiotics (which FYI can give you Thrush so JACKPOT!), telling me to drink water, pee after sex etc. Offering words of comfort such as "it's very common for women your age." Also being told by your mother that I should be having so much rough sex. Ha! Got sent for kidney scans and all sorts until finally it sort of just…disappeared. Strange but please do keep going to the Doctor if it doesn't clear up. I remember crying in the toilets of Morrisons because it was agony to squeeze out piss that wasn't there.
Personal low point.
I've had a urinary problem for two years now. It started as a UTI and then developed into a kidney infection which eventually was treated with antibiotics (went through a few different types) but the symptoms remained.
Basically it never feels like I've finished peeing. As soon as I leave the house I have to pee, and it makes me stress out that I'm gonna pee myself. I can't do the things I used to do because I have panic attacks – no more rides on the bus, trouble being in the car for more than 20 minutes, I had to run out of my lectures a few times an hour just to pee, it's pretty humiliating. And my second year exams were deferred til the middle of summer. I have like alright days and really bad days when I won't leave the house at all and I'll avoid doing anything that might put me in an awkward position if I do pee myself.
I've been dismissed by doctors at uni, but I've had two ultrasounds, seen a physio, had countless pee tests and now I'm going to be seeing a psychologist to see if I can prevent the panic attacks that make me worse.
And it's not like I'm not careful – I do all the right things vag-wise so I have no idea what's wrong with me. I think it's made me depressed, really. I used to be impulsive and fun and now I have to wait an hour after having a cup of tea before I leave the house (even decaff) and I'm just terrified of humiliating myself all the time.
Makes me wish I had a penis.
Thank-you! I look forward to it. Now, would it be so hard to tell us this in school?
What a brilliant, informative post!
Lube-wise, the stuff like Durex you by in Boots really irritate me and made the problem worse. I recommend one called Yes Yes Yes which is very dear I know, but organic and non-allergenic – and very good.
Last year I had thrush for about 6 months, so I went to the doctor and they prescribed a 6 month course of Fluconazole (oral pill), which cleared it up.
Also, wear 100% cotton knickers, and washing powder for sensitive skin.
As someone who is on antibiotics for the next few months, I need a thrush cure that won't kill the bank account, stat. I had high hopes for yoghurt since my reasoning was it'd be replacing the bacteria that the antibiotics had killed and they would in turn eat the thrush. In the end I've been relying on cansten.
As for UTIs, I find a teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda in a glass of water a few times a day does the same job as sodium citrate at a fraction of the price. It works by making the bladder alkaline which makes it more difficult for the infection to survive. Calms the burning too.

This may just be me but I find the chances of contracting thrush are higher in winter, when you're wearing more layers/snug clothing and your vagina hasn't as much room to 'breathe'.
Brilliant post and brilliant comment by Jus'sayin'.
It might be an idea for GPs/local surgeries to hand out information leaflets on this sort of thing. They already address breast self-examinations and birth-control, so why not this? If I recall correctly, 70% of women contract thrush at least once in their lifetime, having information available easily would help immensely.
But what's important and not often mentioned is this: we get cystitis when faecal bacteria is transferred to the vagina (hence the advise of always wiping front to back). The main way of getting cystitis is (hands, dick, vibe etc) touching the butt area before touching the vaginal area. Being careful with this may mean the sex is less about wild abandon, but it really helps if you are a regular cystitis sufferer. You also tend to get cystitis more with your first sexual encounters or if you haven't had sex for a long while (called "honeymoon cystitis").
More details: http://health.nytimes.com/health/guides/disease/urinary-tract-infection/risk-factors.html
70% is probably even closer to 100% but just goes highly unreported because it's mild or women don't realize what it is and are embarassed to get it checked out. It will almost heal on it's own eventually…
I've been having UTIs now and then ever since I started to have sex. By now I'm so used to it happening I have figured out what to do to make it pass. I just grab a glass of water, a book and lock myself into the loo, drinking the whole glass every time I pee even a bit. In about an hour I feel fine, it doesn't sting anymore and I can get on with my life.
I first figured it out when I got thinking "I need to pee and there's nothing coming out, I'd better have some water so the body can at least do its thing."
Cranberry juice is also a favourite of mine, or cranberry tea. I don't know about the 'makes it sting more' bit, but I've always heard it said it somehow gets rid of the bacteria causing it.
Aw man. Feel for you, this sounds rubbish. I've had cystitis a lot and sounds you you constantly have all the symptoms! Can see how stressful it is, I'm normally quite together but remember having it once and hiding in the toilet at work for about an hour crying, before going home (to cry more) without explaining why I was leaving. Saw an episode of embarrassing bodies a while ago about the Atonic Bladder condition – I imagine docs have tested for this but sounds kind of similar.
Hope you're fixed/grow a penis soon x
Can you get a repeat prescription? According to NHS website "A three monthly PPC is £29.10. This saves you money if you need four or more items in three months." x
Ooo I'll look into the Atonic Bladder condition – so far the guesses are interstitial cystitis which would be crap because there's no cure, a weakening in the neck of the bladder or just anxiety – fingers crossed I'll know soon
Thanks for the support xx
Re thrush: I'd recommend using non perfumed, non coloured soap (eg: Simple).
Oo – I do the bicarb thing too. I kind of came to it through some amateur science thinking but I'm glad someone else does it too. It tastes disgusting but it seems to work.
Oh god, that sounds terrible! I've only had it once for a week or so, so I can't really compare, but I had a similar experience using a toilet which was only separated from a busy office by a thin wall. I bit my thumb so hard to stop myself from crying audibly that I broke skin.
Update: the oral tablet for thrush (benefits: doesn't have to be used at night, cheaper, I've personally not found the chalk pessary to be effective. Downsides: can't be used when pregnant, apparently is supposed to be used mainly for recurring thrush – I'm not sure why) is only available in pharmacies. Yesterday morning I trawled through Tescos, Superdrug, and two Boots before I discovered this.
Hmm, wrote a too-long reply that seems to have been lost in the sauce…
I would get UTIs *all* the time. Nothing seemed to prevent 'em: peeing after sex, wiping front to back, etc. I was always told "get it checked out, it could be an infection that ends up in your kidneys!" Fair enough.
Then like Tho, I decided to drink enough so I have enough to pee with. And interestingly, when I went to see the doc once, my symptoms had disappeared. This more naturopath-inclined doc was the one who FINALLY told me that a urinary tract IIRRITATION feels the same as a urinary tract INFECTION. And one could simply avoid irritants, like anything with caffeine (coffee, chocolate, tea, soft drinks), alcohol…
The one thing he didn't mention, which I figured out: in sex, the man has to WAIT UNTIL MY BODY IS READY FOR PENETRATION!!! (no wonder they ain't teaching prevention: that would inconvenience too many impatient lads). Friction = bad! And presto… it seems to work. Unskilled/impatient/uncaring sex partner = UTI.
Thrush hasn't affected me as much, though my sister is and swears by cotton undies and not using tampons (bleach in tampon cottons can wreak havoc). Every time I'm given antibiotics, I take large amounts of acidophilus capsules to keep the good bacteria in hooch and intestines, and avoid unpleasantness at both ends, so to speak.
On a quick scan of all the comments, no one seems to have mentioned BV either – bacterial vaginosis. A delightful disease that only made itself aware to my group of friends in our mid twenties. We'd literally never heard of it despite the fact that most of us had had it at some stage!
Nether region health is a constant struggle and as such, all the ins and outs (pun intended) should be addressed in the early teens. It would stop many girls freaking out, feeling embarrassed or ending up in A&E when on holiday with their dad due to cystitis so bad it turned into a kidney infection!
I'm sorry to hear your plight, but believe me having a penis doesn't solve the problem. I've had a few bouts since elementary/primary school, and some of them were in the "can't get off the toilet because I still need to pee" category.
The trouble with all these vag-related misdemeanours is that you don't know they're coming until it's too late.
I've found that – as well as the patented 'come, pee, cuddle' technique – popping a few cranberry tablets as a pre-emptive strike works a treat. I keep a hoard of them stashed under the bed. It's probably not the sexiest thing to be all over a bottle of pills like dogs on a meat sofa immediately after sex – but the alternative is a scene far uglier.
I completely agree with what a lot of these comments are saying – this should be taught in schools. It's not like you get a users guide. I recall the eye roll I gave my mother when she condemned my choice of thongs as being "asking for trouble, and thrush"… alas, she was right.
Love this post. Ever since I started having sex I've discovered a veritable smörgåsbord of vag-related ailments firsthand. The "come, pee, cuddle" has become an integral part of my sex life.
I developed recurrent thrush about two years ago which led to a couple changes in my life on the advice of my awesome helpful doctor. I started using Boots' "Cottons" range of pads and tampons. They're totally natural cotton and aren't bleached so help with the irritation.
I also began to find normal lube to be irritating so my doctor suggested Durex' "Sensilube" as it isn't as sticky and sickeningly sweet as others. It's amazing and actually feels natural.
Also since thick nylon tights are perfect incubators for thrush in the winter I started wearing thick stockings/hold ups so my foof could breathe. Sexy and practical!
The yoghurt is for thrush, not cystitis.
Why on earth don't we talk about vagina malfunction more? It's utterly essential! At various times I've shoved enough gunk up my chuff to feel like a walking salad dressing.
I did all the things you're supposed to: no perfumed baths or hair washing in the bath, no douching unless it's the occasional water/cider vinegar malarky, weeing after sex, cranberry capsules etc.
Eventually I discovered I was allergic to condom lubricants, and sensitive to washing powder. I'm now a pant boiler, no relation to my bunny cooking cousins.
If you need help for bacterial vaginosis, thrush, cystitis or any other downstairs kinds of problem (except flooded cellars) I'd heartily recommend the Vulvapedia run by the Vagina Pagina community.
Thank god someone is writing about this…it's one thing I don't think many of us like sharing but it's something most of us go through at one point or another
Love this article! What a great way to explain the crap us poor girls have to go through! I first had cystitis when I was 16 and had a part time job at sainsburys while at college, and had to "explain myself" to my manager when I called in sick – at the time I was so embarrassed, I ended up creating some elaborate story!! Now I'm older and wiser through years of cystitis experience (urgh), I realise I should have just come out with it – it shouldn't be a taboo subject.
A couple of tips for cystitis I've found help me over the years…
- When you have cystitis, avoid caffeine and alcohol!! A hangover is NOT what you want when you are peeing Satan's tears
- If you wear tights a lot, this can be a cause too… let your vajajay have some breezey fresh air from time to time
- Cranberry juice won't help you if it's in a carton from Tesco/any old supermarket! This juice is from concentrate so won't have the really good stuff in it as it's diluted; what you need is to get down to a herbal store and get some cranberry capsules, or you can buy PURE cranberry juice and won't have any preservative crap in it
- A hot water bottle between your legs works a TREAT! mmmm toasty…
To those who haven't ever had it – be strong our bodies can endure a LOT and you will get through it! Don't ever worry (like I did) that "this is it for the rest of my life. OH MY GAAAAD" as it will go away one way or another – drugs or copious amounts of water!
I had cystitis for YEARS, went to all sorts of scans and was poked and prodded by innumerable doctors who essentially just told me to pee and get on with it – "this is just what happens when you have sex" – before prescribing a shit tonne of antibiotics (thrush ahoy!)
Buuut the thing that ultimately, totally got rid of it was cranberry capsules! They are super super concentrated cranberry extract and I haven't had cystitis since!

Spectator at the Disaster
By John Dvorak
Nature in violent action can be spectacle, tragedy and object of scientific wonder all at once
Nature in violent action can be spectacle, tragedy and object of scientific wonder all at once
I remember the moment when I heard the first report. The date was February 26, 2010. I was at home listening to the tease for the late-night news on television. The news anchor, in a clear and slightly exaggerated tone, announced that a major earthquake had struck Chile. A single thought formed instantly in my head—tsunami!
To those of us who live on islands in the middle of the Pacific, the thought is never far off that a distant earthquake might generate a sea wave that races across the ocean, runs up on shore and sweeps away a community. In Hilo, Hawaii, where I live, tales are told of such a wave in 1946, generated by an earthquake in Alaska. The onslaught began as a pull-back of the sea. Within minutes, those who had gathered along the edge of the strangely emptied Hilo Bay witnessed the sea return as a wall of water. The great wave slammed into a row of buildings that outlined the edge of the bay, then plowed those buildings into the buildings on the other side of the street. Ninety-six people drowned. The area swept vacant by the wave is now a city park where kids play soccer.
The next earthquake-generated wave to hit Hilo was in 1960. A friend who was then a teenager told me that as soon as he and his pals heard that a wave was rushing toward the island, they hustled down to the edge of Hilo Bay to watch it come in. They stood on a small iron bridge close to the shoreline positioned no more than a few feet above high tide. The first wave arrived on schedule and passed under the bridge. Twenty minutes later, a second wave arrived and did the same. Disappointed, my friends and his pals left and went home. Later, a third wave arrived. This one crested fourteen feet over the bridge. Seawater surged as far as a mile inland. Sixty-one people died. Hundreds of homes and businesses were destroyed.
The 1960 wave was generated by an earthquake in Chile. On the night that I heard the report of the latest Chilean quake, local news crews assembled outside the building that houses the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center, located in Honolulu. A spokesman stood outside before a cluster of microphones and informed the public that a large earthquake had just occurred in Chile, similar to the one in 1960, and that a Pacific-wide tsunami was possible. Nothing more would be known, he said, for at least a few hours. By then, the anticipated wave would have passed a buoy tethered in the ocean and designed specifically to detect such waves.
With nothing more to learn, I went to bed.
I awoke at five o'clock the next morning and turned on the television. There it was—the scene I had imagined for years. The same spokesman stood in front of the warning center, reading an official statement. A wave had been generated and was spreading across the Pacific. He then read a list of the times the first wave was expected to arrive at specific places around the islands. The first wave would arrive in Hilo Bay at 11:19 A.M. I woke my family and we made plans to watch the event.
By nine o'clock we were standing on a hillside about a mile from the shoreline at a place that offered an excellent view of the bay. The weather was clear and sunny. It was Saturday, so there were no concerns about children in school. We were standing in a crowd of other families.
Among those in the crowd were many who lived near the coastline in areas that might be swamped by the approaching wave. As far as I could tell, no one had stuffed their cars or trucks with packing boxes and mattresses to move their worldly possessions to high ground. All they had transported were their vehicles and their pets. The mood of the crowd was neither festive nor somber. Everyone was simply waiting.
At ten o'clock the first sirens sounded. Thirty minutes later, I heard over a car radio that all coastal roads were closed. Police stood at barricades partway down the hillside to prevent anyone from entering the closed area. At eleven o'clock the sirens sounded a second time. That signaled that the first wave would arrive in 20 minutes.
Exactly at the predicted time, the entrance to Hilo Bay began to turn brown. Someone shouted, "It's starting!"
The brown patch grew as seawater was pulled out of the bay, the force of the water kicking up silt from the bottom. A reef of black rocks, normally visible only during extreme low tide, appeared just off a popular picnic spot known as Coconut Island. It was the clearest sign that the water level in the bay was dropping. After 10 minutes, the rocks were covered again by seawater. A few more cycles, each lasting 20 to 30 minutes, the water level changing no more than a few feet, and the event was over. The city of Hilo had been spared.
Through it all, even as I was preparing to go to bed the previous night and, later, as I stood with my family and my neighbors and watched the water recede and recover, I kept thinking about those other people, thousands of miles away, somewhere along the coast of Chile. An unknown number of souls were trapped beneath the rubble of buildings that had collapsed during the earthquake. At that moment they were wondering whether they would ever be rescued.
Grove Karl Gilbert, one of the first geologists to survey the American West and later acting director of the United States Geological Survey, once wrote,
It is the natural and legitimate ambition of a properly constituted geologist to see a glacier, witness an eruption, and feel an earthquake. The glacier is always ready, awaiting his visit; the eruption has a course to run, and alacrity only is needed to catch its more important phases; but the earthquake, unheralded and brief, may elude him through his entire lifetime.
Gilbert's encounters with glaciers and volcanoes came easy. In 1899, while on a scientific expedition to Alaska, he spent months mapping, measuring and photographing nearly 40 glaciers. He had his encounter with active volcanoes when the expedition's small ship came within sight of Pavlov volcano, which Gilbert later reported was steaming from a spot high on the peak, and then sailed close to Bogoslof Island, a mound of steaming crags that had risen recently from the sea. But the shaking of an earthquake kept eluding him.
He left Alaska a month too soon to feel the ground rock back and forth during a magnitude 7.4 earthquake near Yakutat Bay, which raised a 40-foot wave that washed the shoreline on which Gilbert had recently stood. Gilbert seemed genuinely disappointed to have missed it. Nearly 30 years earlier, he had been "tantalized," so he wrote, when he left central California after an extended stay of several months and returned east just weeks before the Great Inyo Earthquake of 1872 shook the western half of the continent, from Oregon to Central America. His appointment with geological upheaval finally came on April 18, 1906. That morning, he was asleep at the Faculty Club at Berkeley—in town to attend a meeting about California mining and how it was ruining the environment—when, "by a tumult of motions and noises," he was awakened and became aware "with unalloyed pleasure" that "a vigorous earthquake was in progress."
The destruction in Berkeley was "trivial" by his estimation, but within two hours of the earthquake, he learned "that a great disaster had been wrought on the opposite side of the bay and that San Francisco was in flames." It took him two days to find passage there by ferry.
When he arrived, the city was still burning. He chronicled the progress of the fire, watching as block after block of close-set wooden houses were consumed by flames. At one point, he recorded in his notebook the time it took for a two-story building to be destroyed: "roof gone in seven minutes; first falling of wall in nine minutes; flaming ruins in twelve minutes." After the fire ended, he set off, again by ferry, to the area hardest hit by the earthquake, which was on the north side of the bay, and there he began a formal scientific investigation.
Gilbert would author a famous government report about the earthquake. At the end of the report, he considered the possibility that future earthquakes might strike San Francisco. Should a repeat of the 1906 event be expected within the lifetimes of the next few generations, he wondered, or had the recent calamity given the area long-term immunity from another violent disturbance? He had no answer. But he was sure that "timidity will cause some to remove from the shaken district and will deter others who were contemplating immigration."
Recently, I asked someone who was retiring after 30 years of studying earthquakes, which included a substantial tenure as head of the USGS Earthquake Hazards Program, whether he was disappointed that a major earthquake—on par with the 1906 event—had not happened on his watch. He answered no.
There was too much suffering after such events, he said. He had dealt with the aftermath of several significant quakes, including the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake that, among other things, caused a span of the Bay Bridge that links San Francisco and Oakland to collapse. The official death toll from the earthquake was 57. Property loss was valued at $6 billion. As a result of the disaster, a new Bay Bridge is under construction. Planners hope it will be completed before the next big earthquake shakes the Bay area.
Understand that I am not wishing for destruction by natural forces, but I know that such events are inevitable. Also, I am no stranger to such catastrophes. I studied erupting volcanoes for 16 years. I have seen bodies cremated by passage of the hot hurricane-force wind known as nuée ardente. And I have stood on the hard surface of a recently congealed mudflow, knowing that thousands of people were entombed beneath my feet.
In January 2010, I watched, as millions of others did, with near disbelief as television cameras showed the destruction wrought in Haiti after an earthquake killed nearly a quarter million people and left the capital city, Port-au-Prince, in ruins. A month later, the earthquake in Chile, which was a thousand times stronger than the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, collapsed multistoried buildings in Concepión, the second largest city in the country. And during the spring months, I followed, as many did, the progress of repeated ash clouds erupted from an Icelandic volcano, the clouds wreaking havoc on international air travel and crippling world commerce.
And so I share the humanist view and feeling of my seismological friend. But, like Grove Karl Gilbert, I am drawn to experiencing great geologic forces, wanting to be present when they are unleashed. It should come as no surprise that, like Gilbert, I hope to experience the shaking of a major earthquake. I am quite sure others harbor a similar, secret wish.
Years ago, during an informal discussion about earthquakes and how they should be studied, I commented to colleagues that instead of adding yet another seismologist or geologist or geodesist to the group, adding a psychologist would make more sense. One of the major goals of the Earthquake Hazards Program is to keep the public informed about the perils associated with such events. It seemed to me imperative that we, as scientists, understand how the public will react to the sort of information we might be called upon to provide—potentially terrifying information about imminent cataclysms. My suggestion was met with blank stares.
I have also suggested that once the prediction of earthquakes becomes commonplace—and I think it is inevitable that, someday, earthquake prediction will be on par with forecasting the path and strength of hurricanes, if not rising to the certainty of predicting the tides—that contingency plans will have to be made for the crowds that will assemble in the forecasted epicentral area to feel the ground shake.
Bear with me on this. I had an experience years ago that is pertinent to this question.
It happened on the Nevada desert back in the days when underground nuclear tests were still conducted. Whenever such a test was scheduled, an army of graduate students was sent out across the desert to station ourselves at regular intervals along a line that ran radially away from the blast. (The point of the exercise was to study the structure of the Earth's crust.) Each of us was equipped with a portable seismograph to record the precise time the initial ground shaking arrived from the blast. For one test, I was lucky and drew the lot that put me second closest to the detonation.
I arrived at my assigned position early in the morning. I knew the exact second when the ground would start to vibrate. And I knew the direction the wave would come from. With five minutes to go, I made sure I was standing on firm ground and facing in that direction.
A minute before the wave was scheduled to arrive, I remember feeling a surge of adrenaline rush through my body. Then, with a moment to go, I saw the ground rippling on the distant horizon. In less than a breath, the wave had passed under me. I could distinctly feel the pulses running up my legs and through my body. The whole experience lasted barely a second. I turned after the wave passed me and watched it disappear over the other horizon.
In the vernacular of my generation, it was better than an E ticket at Disneyland.
From that experience, I feel justified in predicting that there will be professional and amateur earthquake chasers. Droves of people will flock to any area that is predicted to have a major earthquake, arriving by whatever means required to be there at the appointed time. It will be much as it is today when crowds of people gather along the strip of land that the moon's shadow follows during a total solar eclipse. Travel agencies will book tours to "Ride the Earth's Crust." Hawkers will sell T-shirts and commemorative plates.
From a different perspective, people who already live in seismic zones will be better prepared than any group before them for the strong shaking that is about to come.
Such a world is in the future. How far ahead, I do not know. In the meantime, I struggle with the dilemma of the "properly constituted geologist." I desperately want more experience of the great forces of nature. I want to hear the acoustically epic roar of the rupturing crust, of the ocean emptying from its basin and then returning. Yet I cannot sincerely wish for it, because I know, as perhaps only geologists and the victims of natural cataclysms do, how much human suffering is mixed in with the flows and ejections of nature in its most violent moments.

Guaranteed for five years, no questions asked.
Heaters fail more often than any other spa component. This is because most spa heaters use a heating element submersed into the water, directly exposing it to the potential hazard of chemical imbalance and poor quality water (a problem not usually covered under warranty). Arctic Spas® optional Titanium™ heater uses the latest in heating technology to maximize efficiency and reliability for your peace of mind. The Titanium™ heater has a titanium element that prevents the buildup of minerals, and is corrosion resistant to stand up to the harsh environment. On top of that, the no fault warranty covers the heater element for a full 5 years.

Elijah Wood: more than just a two-foot fantasy figure made flesh...Elijah Wood is taller than you think. Five foot six inches, socks, no shoes. Not your first pick for basketball, perhaps, but no cloven-hooved midget neither. A little less than average, let's say. And compared to Prince- that official yardstick of celebrity littleness- a veritable king. Elijah is older than you think, too. January 28 1981, 23 next birthday. A 'boy' only in pin-up parlay. A big kid only when he wants to be. Reality: a testosterone-filled twenty-something, with a half-inch of stubble to prove it. A scruffy indie lad who smokes and dates and falls over when drunk. Legal in every conceivable way.Still, it's hard to think of him like this. As a Grown-Up, a Fully-Flegded Adult. Hard to not to want to call him 'young man' and gently patronise him. Hard, I imagine, for young ladies in his circle not to mother him, old ladies not to pinch his cheek and slip him a shiny coin. Yes, he says, he still gets IDed once in a while at bars, and no, he does not need to shave every day. Hard also, back in the 'real world' of Hollywood, for casting execs to let him move on. To cast off the coarse tunic and oversized hairy feet of his Lord of the Rings incarnation and take on roles that reflect his age and changing outlook. To tackle the sticky stuff on Grown-Up life.Elijah's quandary: he has perhaps been too successful. Elijah first heard about Peter Jackson's ambitious plans to shoot the JRR Tolkien trilogy back in 1997 and doggedly pursued the main lead role (he corralled director-friend George Huang into making an epic autdition tape filmed around the Hollywood hills for the purpose). Six years on and he has so definitively established himself as a two-foot-something fantasy-figure-made-flesh that right now it's hard to picture him as anything else. Frodo-Elijah, Elijah-Frodo. Where does one end and the other begin in the collective imagination? At film premieres, for instance, press photographers shout 'Hobbit!' as Elijah walks by. And whilst the veteran child actor must himself take credit for this transformation- and he possibly will at next Spring's Oscars- clearly the production's phenomenal press machine, pounding relentlessly away for the last three years, has generously helped confirm him as The People's Frodo.Elijah has one more Ring to get through and then he's done. Fun as it's been (and we all know from the seemingly endless tales of on-set hi-jinks, group tattoos and general gang camaraderie just how much fun it's been), Elijah must now move on. Of everyone involved in the project, the 22-year old perhaps faces the biggest challenge ahead. Whilst Peter Jackson is not prepping for his multi-zwillion dollar remake of King Kong, Orlando Bloom is working his niche as a cheaper Colin Farrell and Liv Tyler is probably scoping round for more ethereal-but-dim parts, Elijah must find roles that represent him in a fresh, unseen way, or face the prospect of Middle-Earth purgatory: The Ring can bring great joy but also despair, blah blah blah.Hello Elijah, how are you?I'm very well, thank you.What are you up to at the moment?Err, nothing much right now. About a week ago I finished principal phtography on a film with Michel Gondry. It's called The Eternal Sunshine Of the Spotless Mind.What's it like?Oh my God, I have no idea! It's a Charlie Kaufmann script, which means that it's strange and amazing and confusing and I'm really not sure if I understood what was going on. [Laughs] i'm not sure if anyone quite understood what was going on. I guess we'll just have to see. It's gonna be interesting though, that's for sure. The combination of Michel Gondry and Charlie Kaufmann was perfect. Weirdly perfect.And you play a scientist.Well, sort of. The film's about a couple played by Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet who agree to have bad memories removed from their brain to save their relationship. I play a technician who moves in on Kate Winslet when Jim Carrey's having his brain removed. It sounds quite snidey put like that, doesn't it?Yeah, a little bit. And did you do much scientific research for this role? Clue up on lobotomies and so forth?[Giggles uproariously] Naw, there was very little research required for this role.Did the initial attraction in working with Michel come from his music video work? I know you like your music. I loved his first film, Human Nature, though most people never got to see it. But I'd been a fan of Michel's for quite some time. All those incredible videos that he's done with Bjork.What music are you into at the moment then?For some reason, I'm having a bit of a rock moment right now.I think a lot of people are having a rock moment right now.Well, I woke up this morning to the Velvet Underground and, I dunno, I love the new White Stripes album, like the rest of the world. Lots of things, really. I just heard the new Grandaddy album and its amazing. Also [reels off a list of cool-to-obscure punk and electronic bands that would make any music editor proud]. Actually I've just got back from South By Southwest [Texas music conference]. Friends of mine are in this band called Puny Humans and I went to support them.Loony humans?No, Puny Humans [chuckles]. I saw them play and then just wandered around. Snuck into a few different things. I saw The Coral. Oh my God, they were fantastic.I've heard you've got quite a CD collection as well. Do you go on Elton John-style record binges, just go into Tower Records and buy everything they have?[Giggles] No, but when I'm filming, they always give me a certain amount of money each month and I always end up spending most of it on CDs.Like your pocket money?Yes, like my pocket money.I wanted to ask you about Lord Of The Rings stuff as well.There's only one film left now. Yep, just the one. But it's not really ready yet. We have to go back to New Zealand to finish a few scenes.This one's meant to be the most intense, isn't it?Yes, it's the final one, the climax to the whole story and everyone's really excited about it. I think they're gonna give this one a really big push. I think it's gonna be crazy.A big push? They've pushed it pretty hard already.[Laughs] Yeah, they absolutely have. And it's got seemingly bigger every year. Is there a part of you that's releived it's almost over?No, not at all!Not even al the endless press junkets?Well, I use that time to catch up with everyone who worked on the film. This time will be kind of sad because it's the last opportunity for us all to be together.[Interviewer is determined to have a bad word said about the experience] But you must sometimes get fed up of it all. Think, Elijah! All the same inane questions asked over and over again.Oh yeah, it does get pretty inane at times.Thank you! And there's only so many times you can tell that story about all the actors getting tattoos together.You'd think so, wouldn't you? But even when we were doing press for The Two Towers, I had to repeat that story hundreds of time. I was like 'Look, we told you all about this last time. I even showed most of you, for goodness sake!'[Elijah's tattoo is situated below the trouser line] Maybe they just wanted to see the tattoo again?You reckon? Well, maybe.Do you think people will allow you to move on from the trilogy?This is something that i've been thinking about a lot. I do hope people will allow me to move on. But I think I switch off from a flim much quicker than other people do. Mostly by the time one of my films has come out, I've forgotten about it. I think that's a survival thing so it doesn't drive me crazy.Do you think you'll always be stuck with Frodo?Yeah, in some ways I'll always be attached to Frodo in people's minds. But I think the character is treated in quite a human, realistic way - it's not cartoon-like - so I hope that shows what I can do as an actor. In time, I think I'll be allowed to move on to non-hobbity roles again.You say that so dryly.And so seriously!Has LOTR affected the choices you've made since, the kind of part you want to play?Absolutely. Just being drawn to smaller roles in smaller films. I don't think I want to make a big Hollywood blockbuster film again. At least, not for some time. It simply doesn't interest me. Plus, the kind of directors I want to work with aren't making those kinds of films. I'm far more drawn towards the independent side of things. With people like Spike Jonze, Chris Cunningham, and Mike Mills making films, it's an amazing time to work in cinema. But there's still a lot of crap out there.One of the interesting things about your role as Frodo is that there's no sexual element to it. Something which is pretty unique in recent times. Are you excited to be able to play some roles with a bit of how's-your-father in them?[Laughs shyly] Well, yeah. There are so many different characters that I want to play, so many different aspects of life that i want to express. And certainly I'm drawn towards some more 'romantic' roles now. Let's put it like that. I'd like to see you play pure evil. I would, too.Elijah has been working in the industry since he was eight years old. Previous to Lord Of the Rings, he had appeared in over 25 films - a fact often ignored in the trilogy's attendant hype. From the relatively inauspicious beginnings of 'Video Game Boy 1' in Back To The Future II, he has gone on to deliver some touchingly honest performances - culminating in his tragic turn as Mikey Carver in Ang Lee's The Ice Storm, seduced by Christina Ricci in a Richard Nixon face mask, then electrocuted to death. We'll quickly pass over Flipper: The Movie at this point. And that Paula Abdul video.Okay, the standard question for former child stars: did you feel like you missed out on your childhood?Absolutely not. I've had some incredible experiences that not many kids get ot have if they go to school and do all those normal things.Did you ever envy young people aroung you?Well, there was a period of time when I resented what I was doing and wasn't sure if I wanted to continue acting. I felt like I had no friends and I would look around at other young people and be really envious. But that time passed.That's sad. How old were you?Like 10 or 11.I thought you ewre gonna say 18 or something.No, I had plenty of freinds by then. But even today, most of my mates are, like, 10, 15 years older than me.Speaking to you now, you seem so reserved and shy. How do you cope with the level of personal intrusion that your work brings?There's only been one time when it's got to a really intense level. And that was when I was seeing Franka Potente [the German star of Run, Lola, Run]. That got to be fucking crazy, really fucking crazy. But it calmed down again afterwards.Have you ever snapped?Not really. There was one Christmas Eve when I was out having a good time and there was a guy following me with a camera and I was really creeped out by it. I went over to him and challenged him about what he was doing and he explained that the newspaper he worked for simply didn't have enough pictures of me. He was just doing his job, I guess. I didn't really like it, but I could understand it. You're so tolerant! Have situations like that forced you to grow up faster?Yeah, I guess so. I'm 22 now but i've felt like an adult for so many years. Constantly being surrounded by grown-ups in a professional environment meant that I had to be.It must be incredibly frustrating sometimes then, the difference between the way people perceive you and the way you feel about yourself? [Laughs self-deprecatingly] Yeah, that's pretty much been the frustration. I used to really struggle with it. At times I was desperate to look older than I did. The difficult thing is, there's reallynothing you can do aobut it. But recently I've learnt to deal with things and accept them far mor. And actually now, I think I'm finally beginning to fit my age, which is great. To finally catch up with myself.And I think as you get older you realise that looking youthful, shall we say, can be a powerful too.For sure.So would you still take a teenage role now?Yeah, if the part was right. I don't have a problem with that anymore.And you're playing an adolescent in Thumbsucker, the debut from video director, Mike Mills?[Brightly] Oh actually, I'm not. I was so excited by this part and I was a massive fan of Walter Kirn's novel [boy attempts to cure oral obsessions through sex, team sports and Mormonism] but it's taken a year and a half to set it up, and Mike and I sat down and had a meeting about it this week and we decided that I'm too old for it now.You're too old?I know, imagine! In the past , I've been turned down for roles for a whole variety of reasons. But never for being too old.That must be a weird feeling for you.Yeah, it is. On one level, I'm really disappointed but on another, it's quite a novelty. Right now, I'm trying to enjoy the moment.Elijah is smarter than you probably thought as well, He know that there is a certain amount of reinvention required after Lord Of the Rings. And he knows his days as Peach Fuzz are numbered. His next (non-hobbit) release, the savvy apartment comedy Try Seventeen (co-starring Debbie Harry and Wood's former love Franka Potente), will be one of his last teenage roles. Instead of trading, Michael J Fox-ily, on his boyish good looks - the slight frame, the snub nose, the kind of sad wide eyes sported by small puppies on greeting cards - he is actively seeking out the risky and alternative. Projects that will receive limited releases. Features that have no franchising deals with Burger King. He does not, I think, want to be made into a plastic figurine ever again. He's bigger than that now. much bigger.

The following FAQ is for prospective students.
No, the CRS Specialization is not a separate admissions track into the law school. (In this way, it differs from the Public Interest Law Program.) You may enroll in the specialization before your second-year to enter the program. By successfully completing its requirements, you graduate with a certification on your transcript. Of course, your interest in and potential contribution to the Specialization may be one among many factors considered during the admissions process.
On the application for admission to the Law School, you should indicate "Critical Race Studies," in response to the question regarding your potential to make a distinctive programmatic contribution. We recommend that you submit a detailed statement indicating how your admission would strengthen our program. The CRS faculty are interested in serious students eager to accept the challenge of thinking hard about race, ethnicity, law, and legal institutions. Therefore, make sure to articulate specific past study and experiences that may be relevant to the CRS curriculum. In addition, explain how this specialization fits in with your future goals or plans, for example, as a practitioner or academic. Remember, a passing or casual interest on matters of "race" will not distinguish you from other applicants. Because the application form has limited space, please append additional pages as necessary. Please note that the CRS statement is not the same as a diversity statement.
We will only consider those materials which are part of the official application submitted to the UCLA School of Law Office of Admissions, under the rules established by the Dean of Admissions and the Law School Admissions Council (LSAC). However, if a faculty member or admissions officer determines that we need more information, including a writing sample, we will request it from you.
There is no orthodoxy in the CRS program. The participating faculty have widely divergent views and methodologies. Intellectual freedom and curiosity as well as the ability to test controversial ideas are a hallmark of this program. What unites those affiliated with the specialization are (1) a belief that studying race and its interconnections with law is extremely important and difficult, and (2) traditional assumptions and beliefs should be challenged and critiqued. If these principles seem sound to you, then we invite your participation.
Yes. We offer LL.M. Specialization in Critical Race Studies. You will have the opportunity to take classes offered by faculty and scholars associated with the CRS, to be mentored by them, and to participate in a range of CRS activities, including the annual symposium. Please contact the CRS Program Director for further instructions.
Like the rest of your education at UCLA School of Law, the CRS Program offers a balance of theory and practice, which inform each other. The CRS Initiatives allow students and faculty to integrate theory and practice outside of the formal coursework. Most students strike a balance between theory and practice that allows them to take on a wide breadth of roles in the legal profession, ranging from practicing attorneys at law firms, directors of civil rights organizations, and staff at government and advocacy organizations seeking to address racial discrimination and subordination.
Yes, the CRS Program has established a Future Law Professors' Track, which aims to nurture the next generation of legal scholars working in the area of Critical Race Theory. Because there is no other program like CRS in the United States, and Critical Race Theory as a field now extends well-beyond law, we regularly draw applicants who are serious about careers focused on race and racism. We also encourage students applying in the joint JD/Masters programs, who wish to teach in race-related fields outside of law, to participate in the CRS program. In 2008, we established the CRS Law Teaching Fellowship, as an additional resource for future race law scholars.
All of the courses listed to fulfill CRS requirements are official law school courses taught by instructors who determine eligibility for enrollment. Some professors will limit the size of a clinical course to give students a more personalized experience. Other professors require an application for admission to their course or the completion of another law school course as a pre-requisite to enrollment. Our general experience has been that most clinical courses are open to all students and that students can take as many clinical courses as they want in the advanced curriculum, within the unit and graduation requirements established by the Records office.

The ultimate destination for original reporting on Internet culture and life online
The internet is the story of the 21st century. It touches each of our lives daily—from our first Instagram scan over coffee to our last Snapchat of the evening. We absorb the world through social feeds, and watch social issues play out online in real-time in between cat videos. Public opinion isn't just measured on the internet—it takes shape there. It is more influential than governments or religion, and it deserves to be covered with incredible scrutiny. The beats the Daily Dot covers may not be traditional today, but they will be the new normal tomorrow.
If it's happening online, the Daily Dot is there.
Our Story
A sixth-generation journalist, Nicholas White quit the newspaper industry to help save it.
He left the Sandusky Register, a paper his family has owned and operated since 1869, to
rethink the way news is reported and delivered online. In 2011, he launched the Daily Dot
as a paper of record for the Web, utilizing little more than Google docs, a newsletter,
and a small editorial team based in Austin, Texas.
The Daily Dot has steadily grown in size—with a virtual team spread out across the U.S. and
U.K.—and stature since then, with industry-leading streaming entertainment and internet
culture coverage. According to April 2016 comScore data, traffic has increased 50 percent
year-over-year and shows a higher composition of 18- to 34-year-olds than a number of
millennial-focused publications, including BuzzFeed, Mic, Thought Catalog, and Vice.
We believe new media should not leave classic journalism behind. Our skilled team of
journalists, enterprising e-sleuths, and hard-nosed editors take an immersive approach
to reporting, investing in the communities and progressive issues we cover. We publish
must-read news that captures the highs, lows, and weirdness of life online—beyond what's
"The Internet's own hometown newspaper has grown rapidly to become NYC media's
best-kept secret."
"The Daily Dot surfaces stories that no one else is talking about."
"The Daily Dot did the Internet a favor."
"The official newspaper for crazy Internet people."
Our readers live online and represent the web's most passionate users; it's where they
learn, share, communicate, and interact with the internet communities they represent.
- Editorial
- Business & Marketing
We offer creative services to help you connect with our audience. Our internal agency
takes what we do exceptionally well at the Daily Dot and does it for our brand partners.
TL;DR: We'll help you speak Internet.
"The Daily Dot did an excellent job of creating a campaign that stayed true to our brand while also engaging with their influential audience. Their creative process allowed us to not only be actively involved with the campaign but get consistent updates and data on progress. Daily Dot didn't just spread the word about Deep Eddy; they made people remember us."
