This week�s games
Shelby at Kings Mountain
Burns at East Burke
Crest at R-S Central
Rabun Gap at Thomas Jefferson
Draughn at Chase
Greg Lloyd, Kings Mountain
�It was the best we�ve played all year. We played pretty good in all three phases. I�m really proud of the players for that effort.
�Our goal is to get into the playoffs. We played well last week, had a great effort, left a play or two out there. But overall, I was very pleased with our effort.
�They�re (Shelby) good both sides of the ball, and they�re good on special teams.
�They�re definitely dangerous with their passing game. They�ve got multiple players that can make plays down the field. Their quarterback�s good. They�re making big plays. It�s a big challenge.
�They�re really good defensively. They run well. They�re aggressive. They look like they�ve got size and speed. We�re going to have to execute well to move the ball.They�re as good a team as we�ve seen.
�We�ve played five games. We�ve had our highs and lows. We�re trying to find our identity, and hopefully we�re doing that after Friday. We had 16 freshmen, sophomores and juniors play on Friday night. It�s going to make us better for the last half of the season and it�s going to make us better for the future.�
Lance Ware, Shelby
�Moving to 2-0 in conference, that was the biggest thing. We did some really good things early in the game. We did that the last two weeks. We�ve got to be able to sustain that for four quarters.
�I was disappointed with the penalties and some of those mistakes. We�ve got to correct those, because we�re not going to be able to do that and win going forward.
�Overall team speed, they�re (Kings Mountain) as fast as any team we�ve seen this year. They�re multiple.
�They flew around to the ball well against Burns.
�Kings Mountain is a very dangerous team. That�s always been a tough place for us to play. (Darian) McClain is a great running back and a very good linebacker. (Brandon) Bell is an excellent quarterback. The offensive line comes off the ball well. Athletically and speed wise, they�re as good as anyone we�ve seen.
�We�ve got to take care of the ball and create some turnovers. There were a couple times the ball was on the ground against Chase, and we didn�t get on it.
�We need to attack more defensively. We need to play faster offensively and defensively. We need to rally to the ball defensively.�
Matt Beam, Burns
�We got challenged, and I was proud of our kids in those last minute, 40 seconds. We were able to drive down and score. It�s great for our kids to be put in that situation. It�s not bad. I�m glad we were. I�m glad we answered. Sometimes it might not be how pretty you play or how effective you are, but what counts is that you win.
�My kids in the locker room, they felt like they got beat by 30. It�s not that we played bad. I thought Kings Mountain played hard. We didn�t turn the ball over, but we had plenty of opportunities to make that game 21-0 and 28-0 and we didn�t do it. That�s our fault.
�It was some mistakes that we made, and Kings Mountain capitalized. We�ve got to make sure that we get those corrected.
�East Burke�s very disciplined. They�re in the right spots where they need to be. They have a really good tailback that plays hard. He also plays safety. They�ve got a good, tall quarterback who throws it.
�After an emotional game, we�ve got to make sure that we get up and go play well. We�ve been taking care of the ball. And if we keep doing that, we�re OK.�
Mark Barnes, Crest
�Any time you score 44 points you need to be happy, and we were. We probably could have scored some more at the end, but we put in some backups.
�We scored six out of eight trips, and that�s a good night offensively.
�It was really the first time since the first scrimmage that everybody (on offense) was healthy. We probably had to rely on our power offense more than we wanted to. Our offensive line did a better job blocking. It was the best they�ve done this year.
�Any time you play the Wing T, you�re not used to seeing it. We�ll see how well we adjust (against R-S Central).
�They�ve got a lot of athletes. They�re skilled at running back, at quarterback and at wide receiver. We�ve got a lot of respect for their speed and what their guys can do.
�We�ve got to get healthy on defense. We had three cornerbacks last week, and two of them were P.J. (Brooks) and (Jalin Moore).
�Crest football is about preparing for each Friday night, regardless of who you�re playing. The only team we can control is us. We got b

I hope this hasn't been covered elsewhere; I did scour the forum but I don't see it, so sorry if I missed it!
I am a Japanese cooking enthusiast based in the North East of england, and get most of my ingredients from Japan Centre. They have always proved pretty good, but I've noticed there are a few essentials that I have been able to get on there recently - namely konbu (which I need for yummy vegan dashi - had to get rubbish ol' dashi powder instead) hijiki and whole takuan (better for veggie sushi than the pre-cut half-moons)
I was wondering what other sites you good people recommend, that obviously ship to the UK or are UK based. I must say as I don't live in London it seems pretty tough to buy groceries in stores; the shops in Newcastle's Chinatown have a few Japanese groceries, but they're not the best, really. :(
Thanks in advance!
Hmm, are you sure Japan Centre doesn't have whole takuan? I think I ordered some from them a few months ago...You could try contacting them to see if they have it. (They are quite responsive. Though their online stock is smaller than what they have in-store...maybe a trip to London? ^_^;)
You can try contacting Rice Wine their site says they will deliver within mainland UK, but their site is all in Japanese! Also, try Japanese Kitchen.
With hijiki, try looking for 'Clearspring hijiki' - eg here - it's sold in 'natural food' stores as well as Japanese stores. Pricey though.
The Big Onigiri.
- Wherever you go, there you are. -
Thanks for this! I think Japan Centre used to have whole takuan, but lately I haven't found it... Perhaps the stock changes from time to time. I still think they are an awesome supplier though, it really makes my day when I recieve a parcel from them! Next time I am in London I will definitely go to the store (and perhaps the restaurant...?) as there are all sorts of nice things there that you can't get delivered.
Rice Wine looks amazing, I think when I am feeling up for a challenge I will try them - my Japanese isn't so good any more, so it might take me a while to navigate it.
Thanks for the tips!
Sorry I wasn't able to reply earlier, pii_bii (I couldn't log on for a couple of weeks and it's taken me a while to scour through all the forum activity that happened while I was away - I don't know how Maki and the other moderators manage!)
Would you like to try the Japan Centre again? - whole takuan seems to be back on sale
Although it's a little cheaper at the Rice Wine Shop
product P152
Unfortunately, kombu does seem to be absent from the Japan Centre online store - which is a little odd as it's certainly on the shelves there.
The rice wine shop has two kinds for dashi
It's such a shame you missed out on the whole Akita style smoked takuan (iburigakko) that was available at the Japan Centre last year (they occasionally get in a limited stock of some amazing products). I don't think the iburigakko was ever available online. If I see anything else like this I'll be sure to let you know - I'm sure I can figure out a way to get stuff to you!
Thanks Loretta! I guess I have to be more patient; Japan Centre's stock changes from time to time, depending on what's available it seems. The iburigakko sounds amazing, I must admit it is something I've never heard of...I wish I could afford to go to London more often. I have only actually been to the shop itself once, and I think I was a little overwhelmed. This was a good few years ago, when my japanese cuisine knowledge was pretty limited. :)
I find kombu a bit of a pain to buy, to be honest, but I love making veggie dashi, so it's a burden I have to bear! Clearspring do one, but it's quite expensive. I guess it lasts, and is re-useable, but...I never know how to dry it out after use, and then I annoy people by leaving 'weird' soggy black-green strips in the kitchen for days!
Perhaps next time I do a big japanese food shop I will try getting those bits I can't get at Japan Centre through Rice Wine instead. Thanks for offering to help out with harder to get items! That's really kind of you. And I won't take the mickey and ask for frozen edamame or gyoza skins or anything. I think damp, thawing food goods might annoy the Royal Mail somewhat...:)
You know like how some markets have guided tours and such (I think the Borough Market has one). I wonder why there aren't more guided tours of 'ethnic' grocery stores? I wonder if people would pay for such things? Like an hour at Japan Centre or something, showing a small group of people what is what and such...
Hi - I've also been trying to get konbu from the Japan Centre; I was passing the store last week and they had it on their shelves but I couldn't buy at the time, and both just before and just after they don't have it listed on the website. I've sent them an email to ask what's going on, and I'll post the results.
While I was looking for konbu, I also found a couple of Irish sites which stock Atlantic kelp (Laminaria digitata, as opposed to Laminaria japonica which is the usual konbu sold). Has anyone ever tried using it?
Be interesting to know what goes on with Japan Centre and their konbu situation. I found some, shredded in a shop in Chinatown today, so I have a bit to be going on with now, even though I'm used to buying it in large sheets. I too would be interested to know if anyone has ever used Atlantic kelp instead. My first thought was that it couldn't be much different...but I'm too scared to try it! :)
Japan Centre seems to be offline at the moment.
Perhaps it was a glitch - seems fine to me at the moment
Rice Wine Shop's site is all in Japanese! Help!
Mount Fuji has konbu:
Whole takuan also:
I found their postage costs cheap for light weight items, but that was a while back.

Just after landing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' general manager job, Jason Licht called it "comical" to think that cornerback Darrelle Revis isn't a fit for Lovie Smith's defense.
NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport has reported Smith has big plans for Revis, who absolutely has a future in Tampa.
Members of other teams remain unconvinced that the Buccaneers' new regime values Revis as much as the previous one, which surrendered the No. 13 overall pick in the 2013 NFL Draft in exchange for the shutdown corner.
More than one team has made preliminary inquiries into potentially trading for Revis, Rapoport reported Tuesday, per two people familiar with the Bucs' situation. No offers were made, per Rapoport, and it's not apparent that any of the interest was real.
Jason La Canfora of CBSSports.com first reported on the inquiries.
Whereas New York Jets coach Rex Ryan built his defense around Revis erasing the opposing team's No. 1 receiver, Smith's system relies more on zone coverage.
Shedding Revis' salary also makes sense for a young team that could use extra cap space and draft picks to build up the roster.
Ultimately, though, there's more smoke than fire here.
Revis earns at least $6 million more annually than any other cornerback in the game. Even with his successful return from knee reconstruction, no team other than the one that dealt for him last season would pay him at that exorbitant rate.
One team rooting against a Revis trade? The Jets. If Revis is not on the Bucs roster on March 13, the Jets receive a fourth-round draft pick as opposed to a third-rounder as partial compensation for last year's swap.
Although rival executives believe Revis is "ripe to be dealt," the odds are against that Jets draft pick slipping a round.
On the latest edition of the "Around The League Podcast," the guys talk about the Jim Harbaugh drama in San Francisco and discuss who made the most striking impression at the NFL Scouting Combine.

Looking at 2degrees plans it will cost
$39 per month plan -S3 $799
$799 if you go on a 24 month contract at 39 per month (plan im already on) but I could get one on tradme for the same money so no real benefit there Im guessing and no 24 month contract needed.
$89 per month plan -S3 Free
To get it free starts at $89 per month for 24 months.
So thats spending $2100 over 2 years and getting a $800-$1000 phone free.
$2100 total spend over 24 months subtract the free phones value at $799 leaves spend of $1301 over 24 month contract which gives $54 per month.
This doesn't seem too bad, $15 increase p.m over buying outright on trademe or on a $39 p.m plan.
Good way to get the phone if you dont want to pay up front for it.

Surprisingly cultural silver proof coins are fairly easy to get PF70, this particular coin has 20% PF70 yield.
It could be combination of relaxed grading standards or better quality coins exist in china, less handling for sure compared to coin that was shipped to the US, carried to shows, mailed to customers, etc, while the mainland coins sit at store or safe until someone buy them.

Oral sex between two woman (WOMAN TO WOMAN) ( CUNNILINGUS)
Dear Dr Sorry, but this is a follow up to my last question. If HIV was contracted between two woman through oral sex, please explain to me how this would happen. I'm getting so many conflicting reports saying it is or isn't risky and that I shouldn't even worry about getting tested for this one incident. Please can you give me your honest, medical opinion as I'm going out of my mind with worry! Thank you Tracey
Hello Tracy,
Cunnilingus, whether between two gals or a guy and a gal, carries a minimal risk for HIV transmission, if there are no extenuating circumstances. See below.

woman to woman oral transmission (WOMAN to WOMAN) Jun 21, 2007
In all the posts that I've read there's nothing about woman to woman HIV oral transmission.
I'm going out of my mind with worry and was wondering if you could PLEASE give me your honest opinion. About 6 months ago I had oral sex with another woman. There was no blood involved, it only lasted for a couple of minutes on by the giving and receiving side but I'm not sure if there was any bodily fluids exchanged. I'm really scared and have no where to turn to. Please help me out and let me know if you think this warrants an HIV test. When I went back to the lady that I was involved with she said that she'd been tested and was HIV negative. I appreciate all your help and I think you're doing a wonderful job!
Response from Dr. Frascino
Cunnilingus carries a negligible risk for HIV transmission, whether it's woman-on-woman or man-on-woman. If you're worried, a single rapid HIV test will give you a definitive answer in as few as 20 minutes. The odds you are negative are astronomically in your favor. I'll reprint several posts form the archives that address this topic.
Good luck.

Searched Archives...Can't find woman to woman transmission Jun 4, 2007
Dr. Bob,
Thank you for your wonderful work that you do. You are an inspiration to all of us.
Here is our story:
We are a normal, hard working, conservative couple with a child. We both have been tested before and we are monogomous. We don't get to go out a lot because we are always so busy. This past weekend we decided to get out and cut loose a bit. We ended up going to a swingers club out of curiousity where my wife and I had sex with each other in a room filled with other people having sex. There was a couple having sex next to us and my wife and the other female began touching each other. My wife then stopped having sex with me and the other female stopped having sex with her partner and my wife and her began to make out. There was no oral and no kissing. Just mainly touching. My wife sucked on her tits and she sucked on my wifes. My wife was masturbating herself and the other woman was doing the same to herself. The other woman then began to masturbate my wife and my wife began to masturbate her. Our concern arises from the fact that maybe the other woman had some of her own vaginal fluids or some of her partners semen on her fingers when she began to masturbate my wife. Also, my wife masturbated this woman and then masturbated herself again. We are concerned that some of this fluid may have come in contact with my wifes vagina. We have read all of the responses regarding mutual masturbation but most of them are either male/male or male/female. Is this another case of no risk mutual masturbation or is this something more. We are extremely nervous that we have messed up the wonderful life that we had by one stupid night of curiousity. We have vowed never to do this again and are hoping that we have dodged the bullet. We have read that HIV does not last long outside of the body but we are still nervous. We called the CDC and they gave us the usual run of the mill CYA "if fluids were exchanged then you are at risk" answer. Dr. Bob we respect your opinion. What was the real risk from this incident? Are we talking about no risk here? Does this warrant testing? If a test is warranted would you recommend a PCR DNA test at 28 days. Please help us. We don't want to have to stress for the next 12 weeks before we she can get tested. We are also concerned that if she has it that it can be passed on to our young child.
Your help is greatly appreciated. We know that you get tons of email but we hope that you will select ours due to the unusual (female/female) circumstances surrounding our situation.
Thank you

Response from Dr. Frascino
Hello Scared in FLA,
I just love it when a "normal, hardworking, conservative monogamous couple with a child" decides to get curious on the weekend and wind up in an orgy room for some lesbian lovin'!!!
Generally speaking the HIV risk from the gal-on-gal action you describe would carry a minimal HIV risk. I would recommend a single HIV rapid test at the three-month mark to put your fears permanently to rest. I do not recommend PCR testing for routine HIV screening due to cost, the rate of false-positives and other technical considerations. As for passing HIV on to your youngster, relax. HIV is not spread by casual contact.
For completeness I'll post a few girl-on-girl posts below. Even though most refer to oral sex, hopefully they will be helpful for our readers.
Good luck.

Lesbians, Vaginal Secretions and HIV Risk Aug 25, 2003
Greetings Dr. Bob,
I have yet to come across a post made by a lesbian to this board, so here's my contribution. On December 27, 2002, I had contact with a woman (ok, a stripper!) of unknown HIV status. While I did use my finger to explore her clitorial region, I did not penetrate her vagina. There was a small amount of vaginal fluid on my index finger, which I then wiped on her nipple and licked off. We also french kissed a couple of times.
Being something of a closet hypochrondriac, I decided to be tested for HIV, which I did at 77 days (11 weeks) post-exposure. My test was negative, but here's my question: Assuming this woman is HIV positive, what are the chances that I could have tested negative one week short of the definitive 84-day timeframe? The counselor told me that given my low-risk exposure, I didn't need to retest at 6 months.
What is your opinion on this? And I might add, that it's nice to have an intelligent, witty and compassionate physician such as yourself in the "family."
We dykes seem to be missing on the radar screen in the HIV risk discussions. How difficult is it, theoretically speaking, for a HIV+ lesbian to transmit the virus to a negative lesbian performing oral sex on her?
Thanks for yout time, and stay well, Dr. Bob.
Lezzie in Cali
Response from Dr. Frascino
Hi Lezzie,
Yeah, where are all the women? My girlfriends read the site, but I hardly ever get any questions. Maybe your question will spark some interest; although, the answer is really rather straightforward. Your risk of HIV transmission from the finger play, and a vaginal fluid coated nipple nosh, is essentially nonexistent. Even a "closet hypochondriac" can't contract HIV this way. Your 77-day test confirms this. You're negative, and no further testing is warranted.
As for your other question oral sex on an HIV-positive woman this, of course, would be the same for both men and women. (My girlfriends, however, tell me they know how to do it much better than men.) The risk would be extremely low. Certainly, there could be extenuating circumstances cuts in the mouth coming into contact with menstrual blood, etc. But overall, the risk remains very low. If someone is concerned about a possible exposure, a test in 3 months is now considered to be definitive.
Stay well. Thanks for writing.
Dr. Bob
Can you contact HIV going down on a girl? Jun 3, 2007
Ok, I went down on a girl I have liked for awhile... not relizing that she was a slammer. Later on hearing she was slamming dope with a girl who was HIV positive. I am getting tested to be sure but I am stressted. I am married and I am afriad I have givin this to my husband..! Please help a scared as hell first time house wife!
Response from Dr. Frascino
Oral sex in general carries a very low risk for HIV transmission. Cunnilingus, guy-on-gal or gal-on-gal, carries an extremely minimal risk, barring extenuating circumstances, such as menstrual blood, oral or vaginal sores or cuts, etc. (See below.) My advice would be to level with your husband and get an HIV rapid test at the three-month mark.
Good luck!
Dr. Bob
Lesbians and HIV Feb 6, 2004
Hi there,
My partner is HIV-pos and living with AIDS. She tested positive before we got together and has always been honest with me about it. I am in love and we practice the safest sex we know, but are frustrated about the facts. I went to get tested (I'm neg) and the woman at the clinic basically told me that lesbians don't transmit HIV to other women. HELLO! Am I right to think this is incredably ignorant? There just is not enough information about female partners and HIV. Any advice about what is "safe" and what is not?
Response from Dr. Frascino
Refer the woman at the clinic to a recent article by Kwakwa et al., "Female-to-female transmission of human immunodeficiency virus" in Clinical Infectious Diseases, 36, 1 February 2003. It provides evidence of female-to-female transmission to a 20-year-old woman from Philadelphia in a monogamous lesbian relationship. The couple's sexual practices included sharing sex toys and oral sex. These activities did not occur during menstruation, but the sex toys had occasionally been used vigorously enough to draw blood. The authors suggest the infection occurred via sharing these sex toys. The newly infected woman had a negative HIV test six months prior to her first positive test. The genotype of her newly acquired virus was strikingly similar to her HIV-positive partner's viral genotype.
We do know that female-to-female sexual practices are generally associated with lower risk of HIV transmission, but cases such as the one published above have been reported. The exact incidence is difficult to determine, due to other possible risky behaviors intravenous drug use, unprotected sex with men, etc. The CDC doesn't track lesbian HIV statistics accurately. For instance, if a lesbian is diagnosed as HIV-positive, but has ever had sex with a man, the case is counted as "heterosexual."
The bottom line here is that lesbian and bisexual women can and do get HIV and other STD's. As for what is safe and not safe, the same rules apply. Oral sex, for instance, has a low, but not completely nonexistent risk for HIV transmission. "Dental dams" (a square piece of latex) can make cunnilingus even safer, but the taste is far from Julia Childs (her cooking, not the lady herself). Alternatively, plastic wrap is more readily available than dental dams, has essentially no rubbery taste, and has the added benefit of being see-through! Whenever I'm at the local supermarket, I always look to see who's buying the plastic wrap and wonder if it will wind up in the bedroom or kitchen. I never thought it worked all that well in the kitchen!
Hope that helps.

Oral Sex question...Pls Pls answer!! (CUNNILINGUS) Apr 24, 2007
Hello Dr. Bob,
About 3 months ago I asked you a question and you responded, which was awesome! I feel like I am talking to a celebrity. I really admire you and all that you do. I know I said I was going to send a donation and I will I promise as soon as I get back to the states next month.
Anyways, my question is regarding HIV and oral sex. I know by reading in the archives that it is a low risk but for some reason I keep on worrying.
Here is what happened. I was with a Romanian sex worker. We had protected intercourse and at the end I performed unprotected oral on her. I didnt notice any open sores or anything unsual down there. After the act I checked my mouth for any open sores and I dont recall seeing any. I also washed my mouth out and when I got back I brushed my teeth. However, I did notice two small canker sores, one on the side of my tongue and the other at the bottom of the inside of my lip. Could any HIV-infected fluids gotten in there?
I assume she was HIV negative. Before and after the act she washed both hers and mine genitals and seemed to be really cautious. As for transmission, is the risk of getting HIV from vaginal fluids lower than from Semen? Does it have to be an open sore in the mouth to get infected? I know blood is the riskiest way as is unprotected anal and vaginal intercourse. Also, does saliva contain agents that help kill the virus?
I would really appreciate it if you could answer this one question for me, I promise this is the last time you will get a question from this worried well. Take care and god bless!
Mikey the Sailor
Response from Dr. Frascino
Hey Sailor-Boy Mikey,
The risk of HIV transmission from cunnilingus is extremely low. (See below.) Even with your two small canker sores, I would put your HIV risk in the remote-to-nonexistent category. Certainly if you're worried, get a rapid HIV test at the three-month mark to put your residual fears permanently to rest. Undoubtedly the result will be negative, but just to be extra sure, I'm sending you my best good-luck karma, OK?
Regarding saliva, yes, there are substances in salivary secretions that inhibit HIV. As for the infectivity of vaginal fluids versus semen, that depends on viral load, viral strain and many other factors.
Be well, Mikey.

Tested today. Alone and need some one to talk too. (CUNNILINGUS) Mar 5, 2007
Hey bob, your the best! Well i finally did it, went today and was tested for all sti's including HIV. Im studying in another country and have no one to share the stress of this with. Heres my story...... A few of months ago i performed unprotected cunnilingus. Stupid now i know but i thought this was a safe practice at the time. It lasted for a mere 45 seconds at most. A couple of days later, i came down with chills,which subsided within a day or so. I also had a chesty cough and swollen glands under my chin, which lasted for a week at most. I thought nothing of it at the time as i had just started college and everyone i knew was down with the flu. Then 2 weeks ago (a few months after my exposure) i had some unusual white discharge after urination. This got me worried about gonorrhea and chlamydia, ive been to the toilet several times since and nothing! Anyways today i went to my local clinic in order to put my fears at rest. I honestly didnt think they would test for HIV, but they said i should, so i went along with it. This has got me rather spooked to say the least. My questions are- 1-What do you think my chances of catching HIV from this one off brief exposure? What are my chances of dodging the HIV bullet Dr Bob? Secondly do you think the one episode of discharge indicates gonorrhea or chlamydia? Can symptoms appear month later and only occur the once? Im making a donation to your wonderful cause, will you please send me your goodluck karma in return! Thank you, stay well, Ewan
Response from Dr. Frascino
Hello Ewan,
I'll proceed directly to your specific questions:
Negligible (see below).
Probably not, but you're getting tested anyway, so you'll have a definitive answer very soon.
Extremely unlikely.
Good luck karma signed, sealed and sent.
Be well. Stay well!

Tonsils and Oral Sex (CUNNILINGUS) Sep 30, 2006
Dr. Frascino,
You are definitely a person admirable character. I have just donated $50 to your wonderful foundation. I wish I could afford more at this time, but money is very tight on my end with my graduate school studies. Like everyone else, I have a question for you.
I performed unprotected oral sex on a woman of unknown status about 2 weeks ago. I purposely avoided unprotected intercourse because of its risk. However, I am know concerned about this oral sex episode. I have recently developed enlarged tonsils and my tests for sterp have been negative. I have a sore throat which is understandable, but no other symptoms. I have tried to use your past answers of similar exposures to help ease my anxiety. But there is just something about hearing it directly from you.
Have you ever seen a person with whose only exposure was unprotected oral sex on a woman test positive for HIV?
I hope that your good health will continue to remain. I promise I shall make another donation later on this year.
Thank you,
Response from Dr. Frascino
Hello Kenny,
Unprotected cunnilingus on a woman of unknown HIV serostatus carries only a negligible risk for HIV transmission. (See below.)
To answer your specific question, nope!
Thanks for your kind comments and donation.
Stop worrying! If you can't stop worrying, get tested at the three-month mark, but do realize the primary reason to do so would be to put your unwarranted fears permanently to rest, OK?
Good luck. Stay well.
Dr. Bob
Oral Sex and HIV
Feb 18, 2006
i have just stumbled on this site, and would like your opinion, on jan 1st 2006 i had protected vaginal sex with a prostitute, but i performed unprotected oral sex on her, before i performed she whiped her virgina and when performing oral sex i could taste no secretion or menstural blood, immediately afterwards i realised what a rediculous thing i had done and became increasingly paranoid about the possibility of HIV infection, on the 3rd of Jan i started on 28 PEP course, what do you think my chances of having HIV are, alot of other sites i have been on say Cunnilingus is Low risk, some say no risk, quantatively what is this risk? i am due to go for an HIV test at the end of march and am petrified of the result, many thanks
Ben C
Response from Dr. Frascino
Hello Ben,
She "whiped her virgina?" Would that be "whiped" as in whipped or "whiped" as in wiped? And would that be "virgina" as in Virginia or "virgina" as in vagina? I would assume "whipped" and "Virginia" are out, because nothing kinky ever happens in that state. The risk of HIV transmission from cunnilingus is extremely low. I'll post a question from the recent archives that addresses this problem. (See below.)
I do not believe PEP was warranted for your potential exposure. There is no reason to be "petrified" of your HIV test results. I see nothing but good news heading in your direction. I suggest you begin practicing your WOO-HOOs!
Good luck.
Dr. Bob
Cunnilingus - no blood, good oral healt Jan 12, 2006
Dear Dr. Bob,
Just sent a donation of 200 dollares - thanks fo you help - people need it and now i feel i need too
You had answered a number of questions related to the risk of cunnilingus. I was engaged in one 2 months ago but no blood was involved and my oral helth is ok. The experience was with the mistress and when i asked her afterwards she told me she is DD free .What concerns me that you mentioned once that the probability of getting HIV in this case 0.5 per 10000 cases. doest it mean that there is 1 possible transmission in 20000 cases. a number of cunnilinguses given is much more then that and there are no documented cases so far. How do these 2 things reconcile?
I am still concerned although i understand i should not be....you know...
How is it possible generally to get HIV via giving cunnilingus in case when there is no blood and my oral health seems to be in order. Appreciate your reply.
I have another general question re the symptoms...
It seems that in case there are symptoms there are ususally more then one should be present based on the statistics you posted earlier.
Appreciate your reply
Thanks for the help
Response from Dr. Frascino
The estimated statistical per-episode risk of 0.5 per 10,000 exposures for unprotected oral intercourse refers to fellatio (oral sex performed on a man), not cunnilingus. The cunnilingus figure would be much less. In fact, it's so small it's difficult to quantitate. There are only very few cases of HIV transmission resulting from performing oral sex on a woman that have been reported to the CDC. Considering we've been monitoring this epidemic for over two decades, that alone is excellent evidence that the HIV-transmission risk through cunnilingus is extremely low. There are a number of scientific hypotheses as to why this is true, but the bottom line remains the same: it's an extremely low-risk activity. (Note: the risk increases if the woman is menstruating and/or the person performing cunnilingus has oral mucous membrane sores, abrasions or inflammation.)
Regarding your second question, ARS can be quite variable in scope, number and severity of symptoms. However, yes, generally more than a single symptom is present.
Thanks for your generous donation!
Stay well.
Dr. Bob
Update from Tonsils and Oral Sex (Cunnilingus) Dec 14, 2006
Dr. Bob,
Thanks for responding to my previous question entitled Tonsils and Oral Sex (CUNNILINGUS). May I woohoo based on the following tests and events:
Week 2: Oraquick Negative Week 7: Oraquick Negative Week 9: Oraquick Negative Night after test, fever of 101.3 and horrible earache Week 12 (86 days): Oraquick Negative
I have not had any other exposures since my unprotected cunnilingus episode. So I will ask again. Do I have your blessing on woohooing?
Happy Holidays!!!
P.S. I plan on sending a donation to your organization once I get paid at the end of this week.
Response from Dr. Frascino
Hey Kenny,
Your week 2, 7 and 9 tests were encouraging, but not WOO-HOOable. However, your negative week-12 OraQuick allows you a full-throated, ferociously committed, screaming-banshee-type WOOOOO-HOOOOO!
Thanks for your donation (www.concertedeffort.org).
Happy WOO-HOOing Holidays to you, too!
Dr. Bob

Is it just me or does the holiday season seem to be coming too fast this year? Along with the joy and blessings of the holidays comes the stress and anxiety of getting ready for them:~)
This is the reason I'm combining a short breathing meditation, along with a story photo picture. You get two for one:~)
The Breathing Mediation
Get comfortable in your chair. Uncross you legs if they're crossed.
Take a deep breath.
And another.
Come on, really breath in and then let the air out slowly.
If you do this three times, I bet you'll feel your shoulders drop.
Did you feel it?
Okay, let your head drop down and slowly roll your head around.
Stretch those neck muscles.
Take one last deep breath. Hold it for a second.
Let it out releasing all your worries and hassles.
Story Photo Challenge
Now that you're relaxed, scroll back to the picture.
Feel free to click on to enlarge it.
Just let your eyes rest on the picture.
Are you starting to see "things?"
I hope so because this is your challenge.
What do you see in this picture?
If nothing jumps out at you, don't despair…just move on to the Quickie Question.
Quickie Question
When you're feeling stressed during the holidays, what helps you calm down?

Activist punter Chris Kluwe says he has been released by Vikings
MINNEAPOLIS – Chris Kluwe says he has been released by the Minnesota Vikings.
The punter tweeted Monday that he is no longer a member of the team. Kluwe thanked the Vikings fans, his teammates and Vikings owners Zygi and Mark Wilf for the past eight seasons in Minnesota. He says he "wouldn't have traded it for anything."
The move was expected after the Vikings spent a fifth-round draft pick on punter Jeff Locke at the end of last month. Kluwe was coming off one of his best statistical seasons, but he ranked just 17th in the NFL in punting and was due to make $1.45 million this season.

© 2006-2010 Esther Derby
Author's Note: In general, anonymous feedback in the workplace doesn't work. It destroys trust, and doesn't give the opportunity for followup, clarification, or problem-solving.
But there is an exception. Sometimes the only way to get feedback up the chain–from direct reports to managers–is to use a process that anonymizes individual responses, and allows for open discussion of the results.
Once a manager establishes that he is open to feedback, will act on feedback, and does not retaliate, people may be more willing to give direct feedback. As long as managers have power to rate, promote, fire, and influence careers, it's going to take extra effort to receive clear and honest feedback from people in a position of less power.
Like everyone else, managers need feedback to know how they are doing and where to adjust their actions. Managers may receive feedback from their managers; that's necessary, but not sufficient. Managers also need feedback from the people they manage.
For information on how you are interacting with and supporting the people who report to you, go to the source.
Unfortunately, it's not always easy to obtain feedback from direct reports. When I ask knowledge workers why they don't give their managers feedback, here's a sample of what I hear:
"If I criticize him, I'll see the effects when it comes to annual salary reviews."
"Feedback is a one-way street with my manager."
"It's not my job. He should know now he's doing. He's the manager, after all."
Beliefs about hierarchy can belie the truth that all relationships are co-created—even relationships between managers and direct reports. So as a manager, you may have to work extra hard to receive clear, honest, and direct feedback about how the people who report to you perceive you and how you are affecting their ability to accomplish the goals of the organization.
Even if you have built a foundation of trust, you'll have this obstacle to overcome when you seek feedback from your staff. If the trust in your group is low, rebuilding trust is the first priority. Asking for feedback can be part of that—if it's handled carefully. I'll say more about this later.
Before you start the process of obtaining feedback, ask yourself if you are really willing to hear the feedback and act on it. Going through this exercise and not making any changes will cause cynicism. Gathering data and then punishing people will cut off your source of information. Acting hurt will telegraph to people that you can dish out feedback, but you can't take it. You may hear information that is surprising or unsettling. You may learn that other people don't see you as you see yourself, or that others' perceptions don't match your intentions.
If you can affirm that you are willing to hear uncomfortable information and are willing to take at least some action, then proceed. If not, take some time to reflect on why, and consider using a coach or taking a management style assessment to begin learning about how others might perceive you. Once you've decided to go ahead, set aside at least two team meetings for the feedback process. Overall, the process takes about a week.
Meeting #1: Identify the Characteristics and Behaviors That Matter to the People in Your Group
State the purpose of the meeting by saying something along these lines: "I want to do my best to support you by creating an environment where you can do the work we need to do. To do that, I need information about what you feel is most important for me to do, and how my actions are supporting you in those areas." Provide an overview of the process and explain how you'll use the data. Ask the group to individually brainstorm the qualities and behaviors most important to them. Use stickies to do an affinity sort. Have the group attach a descriptive name to each affinity group. Most groups end up with five to seven groupings.
After the meeting, create a short survey to collect data. The survey might look something like this.
Characteristic & Assessment
1=Behavior in this area is getting in our way
3=Could do more/differently here
5=Keep doing what you are doing
Note that the ratings don't express a judgment about the person, such as "poor" or "outstanding." Use wording that focuses on behaviors, not an assessment of your goodness as a person. Distribute the survey, and create a way for people to return it anonymously. Ask that the surveys are returned in time for you (or someone else in your group) to collate the data.
Meeting #2: Discuss the Data
The numbers don't have meaning in and of themselves, and they won't tell you what to consider changing, what to stop doing, or what to continue. But they will help start a discussion.
Start the meeting by stating the purpose: to have a frank discussion about what people need from you. Vague generalities won't help. You need specific behavioral examples of what you are doing that has a positive impact on the group and what you are doing that gets in their way. For areas where the team would like to see something different, engage in problem-solving and identify several possible options.
Here's what one manager's data looked like:
Ask for specific concrete behavior examples in each category. One manager I know responded to a low number for "availability" without asking for more specific information. She instituted office hours and handed out her home phone number. But that wasn't what her staff wanted. Their assessment reflected the fact that she took phone calls and answered email during meetings (which she continued to do during her "office hours"). You need to hear from the people in your group what you are doing or not doing that leads to their assessment. For areas where your staff sees you at the low end of the scale, ask "What one or two things can I change—either start doing or stop doing—that will improve my effectiveness?"
Chances are that some things you do as a manager will please some and displease others. In some cases, you can have it both ways. For example, if one person in your group feels you check the status day-to-day work too often and another appreciates your interest and attention, you can adjust your style for each person (assuming that the person who doesn't like day-to-day attention can work independently). In other cases, you'll have to abide by the old adage "You can please some of the people some of the time, but you can't please all of the people all of the time."
If your team tells you that something you feel is critical to your job is driving them crazy, explain what is behind your behavior, i.e., the management goal you are trying to achieve, and ask them to work with you to find other ways to accomplish that goal. One manager was annoying his team by inserting himself into technical discussions and decisions that the group felt they should be making. He explained that he was concerned that they didn't have all the facts and might make a decision that would work short-term but would be detrimental over the long term. Once the team understood his concern, they were able to move into problem-solving. The manager and the technical staff agreed that the manager would provide context, set boundaries, and be clear on whether he was looking for a recommendation or a final decision.
Be prepared for surprises. You may learn that you have habits that get in your way. One manager learned that her staff inferred that she didn't like to hear bad news because she furrowed her brow and scrunched up her face when staff members informed her of problems. They believed her facial expression meant she was mad at them. This manager believed she'd never be able to completely control her expression. But once she was aware of the effect her facial expression had, when she caught herself scrunching up her face, she explained that she wasn't angry, she was concentrating.
Rebuilding Trust
If the trust level in your group is too low for this method, consider having a neutral party facilitate the process (perhaps someone from the HR department). A neutral party can help ensure that people feel free to state their perceptions, and help you absorb the feedback and choose how to act on it. Asking for feedback can be the first step in repairing relationships, if you are prepared to take a hard look at yourself and act on what you learn.
Manage Expectations
Whether you are starting from a position of high trust or low trust, your group won't expect you to be a completely changed person after the discussion session. Just as you wouldn't expect your direct reports to make 15 behavioral changes in the course of the week, your staff won't expect that of you either. You may ask them, "If I can change just one thing in the next month, which is most important to you?" Your team will expect you to listen carefully to their feedback, consider their perceptions, and make at least some adjustments.

My intent is to examine the charges, then challenge Dr. West on both his assumptions and his conclusions.
- The main charge is that there is an unseen effort by the White House to silence those who would continue the fight to save the black prophetic tradition. Chief among those to be silenced are Cornel West and the Rev. Jeremiah Wright.
- Supporting the main charge is another that the White House uses surrogates such as Al Sharpton and Steve Harvey to attack Dr. West, who describes himself as the most prominent of those under attack.
- The silencing effort is intended to hide the fact that the president is the ideological heir of Booker T. Washington, an accomodationist who counseled blacks to adjust and submit to white tyranny.
- He accuses the president of being the face of an empire that is responsible for heinous crimes, even crimes against humanity. He describes how Obama has overseen the eradication of civil liberties, the expansion of imperial wars and the mass incarceration of people of color.
- Although he does not accuse the president of being directly responsible for it, Dr. West implies that the "emaciation" of the black press, the consolidation of the media, the exclusion of Dr. West from the broadcast media and the absence of the subject of the black prophetic tradition in public schools all occurred on the president's watch and thus, by implication, is a charge against the president.
Dr. West describes the black prophetic tradition as the major roadblock to American fascism. Again, by implication, the president supports both imperialism and white supremacy by his unseen efforts to suppress those who would carry on the tradition.
Now, that is a heavy load to lay on the president. One of the problems we have is that the main charge is "unseen." Consequently, we have to take Dr. West's word for the fact that the White House is, in fact, orchestrating the effort to silence Dr. West and others.
One way to go at judging the validity and ultimate value of his message is by examining the underlying premises of his position; that the black prophetic tradition does act as a block to fascism, that president Obama knows this to be true, does attempt to suppress its practitioners, does act as the face of imperialism with all of the abhorrent outcomes that this entails and does, in fact, act as heir to Booker T. Washington in admonishing black people to adjust and submit.
I can agree that the leaders and martyrs of the black prophetic tradition named were certainly effective at drawing attention to the tyranny of the white majority. At a propitious time in history and with the proven strategy of non-violence, Dr. King was astoundingly successful at awakening the sleeping conscience of the nation and the world. The fascism practiced daily by the most ordinary white citizen against the completely helpless black people was too much for the nation to see without reacting in horror. But, notice that the practices were open, violent and wanton. At the same time, there was no effort to make the practices visible until the television cameras saw Dr. King. This revealed to the whole world the stark difference between what the US wanted to present to the world and the reality that the world could see. By contrast, I have seen no such impact from Dr. West's efforts.
I would think that President Obama is quite well aware of the black prophetic tradition and most certainly with Dr. West's loudly proclaimed assertion that Dr. West is the most prominent of the current practitioners. But, the president does not have to waste his time or concern on "suppressing" them. The networks have no problem choosing those to whom they give air time. The people who are on network shows are overwhelmingly, even nauseatingly Republican, imperialist, white supremacy sympathizers.
Is the president an imperialist? If he were not, he would not be president. The US has been on an imperialist path since WWII. No candidate for the office would have the necessary support to make the run if that person did not show by enthusiastic word and deed that the imperialist path was acceptable and necessary. By the way, one does not have to agree to understand the nature of political reality. Lastly, to accuse the president of being an heir to Booker T. Washington, accomodationist, is an ad hominem attack, the lazy way of attacking and most unworthy of a renowned scholar.
Now, we are left with the question, "Why does Dr. West spend so much energy and personal capital attacking the president?" Even though he says it is not personal, there is evidence that it is. An article, again written by Chris Hedges, that makes the personal hurt painfully clear is available at the following link, http://www.truthdig.com/report/item/the_obama_deception_why_cornel_west_went_ballistic_20110516. The article tells us that Dr. West, at the time a true believer, worked 65 campaign events for the candidate. In the words of the author, Dr. West, "now nurses, like many others who placed their faith in Obama, the anguish of the deceived, the manipulated and the betrayed." The only surprise is that the scholar allowed himself to be devastated by a politician. After all, if the president were not a politician, he would not have been elected…twice.
Dr. West's "anguish" likely intensified to the point of fury when the president did not invite him to the inauguration. The fury has been too evident ever since.

We have been working on delivering a data only goodybag and I can happily confirm that it these products will go live on the 10th October. In fact we are not launching one data only product but three. These are;
£5 for 500MB
£7.50 for 1GB
£12.50 for 3GB
Vincent has been discussing Data only goodybags in the Forum. These products are to use with tablets, like iPads, dongles and other data devices. If you wanted to tether with these data products, unlike our goodybags, you can. These data only bags last for one month and can be bought from balance or with a debit or credit card (much like our goodybags).
If you run over your allowance (e.g. 1GB), we'll give you an extra 50MB for free. If you then use all of this we have a special data goodybag rate of 2p per MB until the data goodybag expires. We are planning to send you messages to let you know if you have used your allowance, when you start using the free 50MB and again when the 50MB is used up.
And this is what the data only goodybags looks like.
We looked at data usage, went through lots of excel spreadsheets and double checked the fine details and we've squeezed as much data as we can into each of these goodybags, in fact if you use every bit of data in these products, giffgaff will lose money. However we predict that not everyone who buys them is going to use all the data, so the overall data usage on these goodybags will balance out meaning that these really are the best value we can give to you.
Accompanying the launch of these lovely data only products is a new giffgaff App. Vincent is discussing it in the Forum, so pop over if you want to take a sneak preview of features or contribute any ideas.
A data only product has been a popular idea on the Ideas Board, with over 100 Kudos, so it is great to be able to deliver and launch these products.
Am very unhappy with the gigabags (1 G/month) , use in my ipad only when away from home. Switched on today and found my monthly allowance already used.....have not had it on so far this month. For someone who does not download music, videos and only occasionally watches a youtube clip this is a complete waste of money and I am changing to another provider. Interetsingly when I am abroad and buy local PAYG sims I never run out of data!
Where have the data only goody bags gone?

I put right sides together and then just sewed the bottom piece leaving the back open. I put both pads back in, to give more padding and because I allowed a larger seam.

I think this turned out pretty awesome and now you have me considering re-upholstering my own glider! I have it in my kids' room and the color of it's fabric just doesn't really "fit".
Hmmm... But seriously, nice work!! :)

Would you believe me if I told you I have a glider and ottoman sitting in my garage, waiting until Christmas is over, so they can be my first reupholstery job?? They're even tan. Yup. Scary.

I have a question....when you painted the frame, did you spray paint white or paint with a brush? Thanks!
- January 23, 2011 at 5:24 PM
Did you spray paint your chair or paint with a brush? Thanks :)

- Camilla Jones (CioCo Photography) said...
I actually did both! The frame for the chair I brush painted, but the ottoman was just spray pain to save time. :)

A bit late coming across this, but wanted to say THANK YOU for this post! I have the exact glider/rocker in our entry way and I've always HATED the fabric...it's a country blue with little mauve flowers...very dated looking. I'd been toying with the idea of recovering it, but was intimidated...after seeing your attempt, I think I'm just going to go for it!
Thanks again!!

Recent heavy rainfall has washed away or at least lessened drought conditions in swaths of Nebraska and Iowa, according to a report released Thursday.
The National Drought Mitigation Center at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln released its weekly monitor of drought conditions across the country, which identified drenching rains as cause for dramatic improvements in areas of the two states considered to be in drought. Brian Fuchs, a climatologist at the center, says overall drought reduced last week by nearly 12 percent in Iowa and about 17 percent in Nebraska.
"That's a big jump for the week, a big jump for improvement," Fuchs said.
Western Iowa saw the greatest improvement in the state, with heavy rainfall removing severe drought conditions and shrinking moderate drought-stricken areas in the region, according to the report. Moderate and dry areas in southeastern Iowa lessened slightly.
Nebraska saw a substantial reduction in the east-central region, with a pocket now considered drought-free. The report notes that rain also led to improved conditions in the Panhandle, where drought conditions ranging from abnormally dry to severe have been scaled back.
Fuchs said the significant improvements seen within the past week are noteworthy, as changes in drought status typically occur slowly. Relatively low temperatures and a fairly good chance of seeing more precipitation should continue to help conditions in both states, he said.
Lincoln Mayer Chris Beutler announced Thursday that he's not yet setting any city watering restrictions, though dry spells caused a need for restrictions in previous years. Lincoln Water System officials said in a statement they'll continue to monitor water levels to determine whether conservation efforts will be needed throughout the summer.
Concerns remain in some areas of Nebraska. Fuchs said the far west and southwest regions have not seen the kind of rain other areas of the state have, leaving them in severe to extreme drought.
Kelly Brunkhorst, Nebraska Corn Board's director of research, said it is unfortunate the southwest corner didn't receive the rainfall much of the rest of Nebraska did, and that the drought there is going to affect farms into the summer months.
Improvements in Western Iowa haven't eliminated drought in the area altogether, which is especially a concern for farmers there, said Mark Licht, an Iowa State University agronomist.
"There are some pockets that are really quite dry yet," he said.
And heavy rains haven't yet resulted in flooding issues in fields that have been planted, but they've stalled some northeastern Iowa farmers' planting progress, particularly with corn crop, Licht said. The longer the delay, the greater the risk for a drop in yield potential.
"This last round of rain here is really slowing things down again," Licht said.

WARNING: This blog entry was imported from my old blog on blogs.sun.com (which used different blogging software), so formatting and links may not be correct.
I've heard from a number of people that the ability to jump to a file by type (Open Type), or by filename (Open File) are really important to them. To the point of being adoption blockers.
Both are in the works.
NetBeans has always had a Go To Type for Java (Alt/Ctrl-Shift-O), which we're now retrofitting to become a generic Goto Type facility that other languages can plug into. That means introducing a new API etc. which requires some more effort - so this isn't there for Milestone 9.
However, in the meantime, I've taken the early work on that and hacked it into a Ruby-only module which will let you jump to Ruby types. It's there in the editor context menu (under Go To), bound to a different shortcut. Unlike the general Open Type which will work from any file (or even when you're in a non-source editor window), this will only work from Ruby files. You can get the module
here. That's an NBM file - a netbeans module bundle - which you can install via Tools | Plugins - just switch to the Downloaded tab and point to your NBM. Click Add Plugins. (Sorry, the modules are not signed so you'll get a warning.) It will require a restart. Also, the revamped Plugin Manager is brand new and is stabilizing right now - you may run into some issues. One thing to try is to install one module at a time. You need brand new Ruby bits for this too - go to nbextras.org.
Here's a screenshot of what it looks like (although this includes Java type matches, which the provided hacked module won't do) :
The ability to jump to any file based only on the filename (not the path) is tracked in
issue 44586, and there's been some work happening in a branch. Even though it's not done, you may find it useful in your day to day work. To get it, you can download the module here. Once done, you'll have a Goto File In Project item in your Navigate menu. The operation is faster after the first time.
Finally, I've updated the TextMate snippet importer I recently discussed with some bug fixes - get the latest version here.

The Convention and Visitors Bureau will help you get started on your visit to Tucson.
If you will be visiting a lot of attractions, you can purchase this Tucson Attractions Passport, which gives you 2 for 1 admission to a lot of things.
Here are some of my suggested day trips from Tucson.
Kartchner Caverns is one of the must-see attractions of southern Arizona. You can order tickets on line, and advance reservations are strongly recommended. I have done both of the tours more than once - the Rotunda/Throne Room tour and the Big Room tour - and I prefer the Rotunda / Throne Room tour.
If you get an early enough tour time, take in Tombstone and Bisbee . Browse the art galleries, maybe have lunch or tea at the Copper Queen Hotel or take the Copper Queen Mine tour or a jeep ride. Or just visit Bisbee's mining museum . Or, after Kartchner, go right to Bisbee and do Tombstone on the way back.
The Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum , Old Tucson , Saguaro National Park West and the
International Wildlife Museum are all in the same vicinity.
Sabino Canyon including a hike up to 7 falls and Saguaro National Park East . There is a 9-mile loop road that you can drive, bike or hike. The loop road was completely redone during 2006 and now has many more pullouts and scenic overlooks.
Chiricahua National Monument. But that is a little further from Tucson so would be a full day all by itself. While there, Visit Fort Bowie, for 30 years right in the middle of the war with the Chiricahua Apaches.
Nogales, Sonora, Mexico for some shopping. Maybe lunch at La Roca restaurant. On the way back to Tucson, stop in at Tubac and browse some of the many fine art galleries. While there, visit nearby Tumacacori National Historical Park . Very close by is the Santa Cruz Chile & Spice Factory and retail store.
A trip to Texas Canyon, with its unusual rock formations, about 40 miles east of Tucson. Include a visit to the Triangle-T Guest Ranch , maybe stay overnight in one of the cabins, and the nearby Amerind Foundation . Also close by is Cochise Stronghold, once home to the legendary Apache Chief.
On or near the University of Arizona campus you will find the Flandrau Planetarium/Science Center, the Arizona State Museum, the Arizona Historical Society museum and the Center for Creative Photography
Although much maligned, Biosphere 2 is very worthy of a visit.
For astronomy buffs, a visit to Kitt Peak National Observatory would be interesting. The University of Arizona also has a "Sky Nights" viewing program on Mt. Lemmon. Advance reservations required.
Tucson also has what I believe is the largest privately-run air and space museum, the Pima Air and Space Museum.
Of course, a visit to Tucson would not be complete without a visit to our "White Dove of the Desert", San Xavier del Bac mission .
See the downtown area for arts at the Tucson Museum of Art and shopping for local crafts at Old Town Artisans , right next door.
We like to drive down through Sonoita and Patagonia and down to Nogales. You would take I-10 east from Tucson and get on route 83. It is about 25 miles to Sonoita, a very scenic drive. Then at Sonoita you would take a right to go through Patagonia and on to Nogales. It is also very worthwhile spending a day visiting the wineries around Sonoita/Elgin. Take your own Southern ArizonaWine Tour -- with a designated driver, of course.
Close to the University of Arizona campus is North 4th Avenue, several blocks of shops, night clubs and restaurants. Tucson also is a wonderful place for hiking .
Tucson, being a winter destination for "snowbirds" has a wide selection of fine restaurants. Tucson Restaurant Guide. For Mexican, I would suggest El Charro, Mi Nidito and Cafe Poca Cosa. Karichimaka, close to San Xavier del Bac, also has excellent Mexican food. A very good Italian restaurant is Piazza Gavi. For fine Italian food and great pizza, try Vero Amore or BZ's Pizza. Old West steak houses include Pinnacle Peak and El Corral. For just pizza, my favorites are NoAnchovies, near the university, and New York Pizza.
For night life and other things to do, check out Do Tucson
Enjoy your stay.

Do you remember five years ago, when you could spot an iPod/iPhone owner from a mile away by their standard issue white Apple earbuds? There's much more headphone diversity these days, but buds are still immensely popular and Apple sells bunches of them. Fanny Wang wants to stick it to Apple hard with Wang Buds.
Unlike in-ear headphones that actually go inside your ear canal, Wang Buds rest just outside. From the point of view of sound quality and ergonomics, in-ear monitors are better headphones, but some people find them uncomfortable, and hey, some people just like buds. For $80, Fanny Wang gives you a colorful alternative to Apple's stock offering. They've got soft-gel silicon tips that are comfortable and should stay put better than most other buds. If this is your style, Wang Buds are probably worth a shot because Apple buds are garbage. [Fanny Wang]
