[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

erin, I know this is going to run counter to normal advice, but you may want to cut out the cranberry supplements.
If you can find it get, D-Mannose (which is just the sugar in cranberry that attracts e coli) and take that instead. Cranberry can be very irritating to the bladder, especially if it's inflamed and can be more painful than helpful.

Question for sociologists and other social scientists:
I was sent a study recently that consisted of firms who had taken money for projects which they claimed would meet certain goals voluntarily filling out a survey rating how well the completed projects achieved those goals. The forms to obtain the money were filled out by consultants, while the forms were (probably) filled out by firm internal staff. (There was nothing that actually prevented them using the same consultants to fill out the forms.) Is this a valid methodology in sociology and other social sciences? I know that for certain kinds of in-depth studies on technical issues voluntary surveys are sometimes used, but is it still valid when there is such a strong incentive to claim success? Every firm taking part has hopes of getting even more funding in the future.
