A perfect base for exploring the amazing coastline and other attractions of North Cornwall, our Club Site near Bude is in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The local beaches are a surfer's paradise and also great for building sandcastles.
Age Concession available all season.

It's great for the Cornish beaches, the Camel Trail and everything else Cornwall has to offer. As a family, we enjoyed tracking the legendary King Arthur and spending hours body-boarding in the surf. - Mark Evans

What a fabulous holiday! Site managers Annette and Bob were very friendly on arrival and throughout our stay. Site is near a main road but did not bother us even with a 22 month old. This position does make it very easy for visiting all that North Cornwall has to offer easily. The weather was very good during our holiday so most days were spent on the beach. We did research beaches before we went as we also have 2 dogs.We recommend Daymer Bay and Trebarwith Strand nearer site Black Rock beach at Widemouth Bay. Main beach in Bude is ideal after 6pm dogs can be off lead and you get fab sunset over the sea. On the one not so nice day we went on the Bodmin and Wenford Steam Railway very enjoyable way to spend a few hours and toddlers and dogs are free! Nice places to eat out at are The Bay View Inn at Widemouth Bay and The Falcon Hotel Bude both with outdoor seating areas so you dont have to leave the dogs. Back on site the facilities could do with updating but were always very clean. We would stay on this site again.

Overall (Average):
Just back from our Cornish Tour, a week of which was spent at the Bude site. We thought it was great and the staff in particular were friendly, helpful and cheery throughout. Special thanks to them for collecting up our washing from the drier while we were out on a particularly windy afternoon to stop it disappearing over the fields! It was even returned to us bagged up and folded! The site was a fantastic central spot for our touring and the near road location made it easy to access lots of places of interest. Our 14 year old particularly enjoyed a day and a half at the surf school in Bude. A great site to which we would happily return.

We stayed at Bude site during August & the weather had a disastrous effect on the site ( in particular the grass pitches).the staff were very nice & did their best to assist but were over come by the weather. The shower block was in clean condition although the lights in the blocks looked liked they hadn't been cleaned( lots of dead flies ) on display! Pathways between fields could've been better managed as the were water logged & very muddy. We won't be back to this site although it is very scenic. Site could be better sign posted from the road.

On our this year 6-weeks-holidaytour in SE from Canterbury to Cornwall we have visited 11 different CC Clubsites. It is not easy for temporary Overseas Members with small knowledge of English to book in high season sites from one day to another. But the reception of Bude (sorry, I,ve forgotten their two names) has been the most helpfulst and friendliest reception of all the sites, we have visitet this year in SE and last year in Scotland. Many thanks for all.

This site is on the Atlantic Highway (A39) so if you are using a car it's perfect, the bus is 1-2 a day unless you wish to walk 3/4 mile to the main bus stop. It's a lovely cross country 3 mile walk to Crackington Haven,over fields and stiles. The Holiday Site Managers and their assistants do a 100% first rate job in keeping it pristine, then they go another 100% to enhance campers stay and help them in every way beyond what is required of them. They site outfits so they do not overlook or crowd each other. Showers: are ok when used by adults,some campers sent their children aged between 6 and 10 to shower.They did not read instructions and frequently turned the tap this way and that, resulting in altered flow and temperature for everyone else. The site has a happy and peaceful ambience thanks to the Site Managers. There is a recreation room in the facilities block and a small playground opposite reception rather than centre field,which may not appeal to some parents as they would be required to supervise younger children, but it keeps the noise level down for everone else. Sitting out to watch the sun set over the ocean is best done here. .
This site is very suitable for those who wish to be away from it all.However,being just off the main road some light sleepers may find the very occasional night traffic annoying.On the whole we find it very good,having stayed there for four years on the trot.The town of Bude is a short car journey away but Camelford is a much better bet if you like small quiet towns.The site managers are excellent,especially this year when we needed a tow out due to the unusually bad weather.There is an abundance of wild-life on and around the site.The main road does not have any footpaths so we don't recommend walking along it if you have children.

All the wardens were very helpful and friendly. This site really needs updating, shower block is looking very sad and I gave up using them and used own faculities. If not being updated soon, then please at least paint it. Very clean though. Recreation room would be better with no chairs or 'bring your own' rather then the sad 1960's chairs which look like they had been salvaged from the tip. Good area but everything at a distance - unfortunately weather so depressing we left early. No fault of the wardens but not a site we will go back to.

We stayed at the CCC Bude site for a week in June, over the Jubilee week. As stated in a previous review in our opinion this is the worst CCC site we have stayed at (there were a number in our party that have stayed at numerous CCC sites and have a history of 30 years camping). The site is close to the road and traffic noise can clearly be heard, shops and pubs are a car journey away. The facilities are dated and the showers regularly switched between cold and hot blasts mid shower. If you want to walk to the coast you need to walk a section down the A39 before you can take a path and if you have dogs then you have to walk them on a lead next to the A39 on a patch of grass near the road as there is no clearly defined dog walking area. Our biggest criticism would be the wardens. Our stay coincided with the South East coast winds over the jubilee week, two of our parties tents did not withstand the severe gales and at no point did the site wardens offer any support, advice or help. Cornwall offers numerous CCC sites and our strong recommendation would be to book elsewhere and we will definitely not be returning.

Stayed at Bude in August 2011 and would recomend it. Found the site to be very nice. The managers were friendly and available if you needed them. Found the location very good for exploring the area and also the local beach was just what we needed for our young daughter. The only critisism would be the location of the childrens play area. It was outside the barrier and out of sight from our van. But apart from this we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and we are booking to return in August this year.

Good points: good location for touring north Cornwall coastal towns and villages by car. There is a nice view of the sea in the distance. Bad points: no dog walk to speak of - just a 30 by 15ft rectangle of grass. Could not walk to any beaches from this site, they were too far away. The barrier was a pain as it had to be opened and closed manually every time you arrived or left the site. Found the manager a little intrusive at times. There are numerous sites in this area of Cornwall and this one isn't as nice as some of the others in the area.
Arrived early given a sheltered spot as it was very windy .Site managers were very friendly and helpful. Would definately stay there again.
DATE STAYED: September 2011
Stayed for ten nights in August. Pitches were fairly level ( we stayed on hardstanding). The site is close to a main road but where we were pitched and due to the wind conditions the road noise was not a problem. We had a view of the sea in the distance and enjoyed lovely sunsets over the sea. The wardens were friendly and had a lot of knowledge about the surronding area. Downsides of the site were that it is not really near a beach and you have to use a car especially if you have small children and parking is expensive. The play area was dissapointing. It is not in the centre of the site but at the entrance and not suitable to let young children play there without supervision. We have stayed on many club sites and are used to all the children on the site playing together normally meeting at the swings which tend to be within the site. Here the children did not mix and my boys couldnt wait to go home which is a first for them! Im not saying we wouldnt stay again but definatly not until the children are not with us!
We have stayed on the Bude site 3 times and have never been disappointed. It is central and easy to get to Padstow, Rock, Bodmin, Port Isaac (Doc Martin town), Boscastle, Tintagel, Wadebridge and not forgetting Bude and there were many lakes and woods to walk our dog. The staff, Tina and Graham Bland, Godfrey and his wife were very approachable and helpful and gave us lots of great tips on where to visit. They gave us information on dog friendly beaches and where to be careful on coastal walks. The sunset at this campsite is awesome and we take away lovely warm memories every time we visit. Thank you for a lovely holiday see you again soon.

We were disappointed that the site was so near a main road and one without a footpath or cycle path. This meant that although public transport was available within a mile it was an extremely dangerous trek to the nearest bus stop,pub and convenience store. the site is described as coastal but there was only one public footpath leading to the beach which was accessible only by walking alongside the main road described above. the sea views were very distant. Be prepared to use your car/ motorhome - not a site you can walk from.
SUITABLE FOR: Active break
Just had 8 nights at this campsite, would not recomend for people with young children. Shower block does not have a family room so young children have to use the adult showers which because of the size of the showers is near impossible.A lot of noise can be heard from the main road 24 hours a day,and make sure you have enough tent pegs as the ones in the shop are 25 pence more expensive than other camping and caravan club sites
SUITABLE FOR: Peaceful break
The assistant staff were very friendly and very helpfull,i did not have much to do with the manager and his wife.I have been on many C& C sites and i feel this was the worst for facilities and position.The shower block needs replacing,2 mirrors to shave in and one of these was over the communial soap dispenser and hand dryer so whilst wet shaving you were continually being disturbed,the building appears old a past its sell by date.The chemical waste shed was not very user friendly and the hose was very short to even attempt to wash down after you had finished.As for location you either had choice of listening to cows groaning allnight or the traffic flying by on the Atlantic Highway,it was also too far from the beaches to walk,so a car had too be taken and a lot of money was spent on car parking,,on average £5:00 a day.Cleanliness of the site was good but the dog walk is far too small.We enjoyed visiting the Otter park and had a very good Sunday lunch(£8:00) at the Cobweb ph in Boscastle.I will not be visiting this site again,even if the facilities improve as it is too far from the beaches.
SUITABLE FOR: Families
A great site on the north cornwall coast. This site is accessed off a lay-by on the main atlantic highway - which the main road for running up and down to fab locations in north cornwall: from nearby Bude, Crackington Haven, Boscastle, Tintagel to locations further afield such as Port Isaac and Padstow. Due to the wind direction being favourable, we hardly noticed any traffic. In fact the road is hardly bumper to bumper anyway. The wardens are pitched on either side of the main entrance - so the site feels very secure. Recommend the beaches at Widemouth Bay and Bude. Crackington Haven is nice in the evening. Some great walks on the cliffs at Crackington Haven and The Stangles. Kingfisher walk behind Widemouth Bay is also good too. The site is spacious and doesn't feel at all crowded - whether you are on hardstanding or grass. The facilities are a little dated - but that said they are well maintained and kept immaculately clean. Adequate number of toilets and showers - and never queued once. Hot water on demand. The site team were very helpful and friendly on arrival and during our stay. Small childrens play area - 2 swings + slide. Some additional play rooms in central facilities building. The weather was changeable during our stay. The weather forecast for Bude (only 8 miles away) didn't seem accurate. We realised that the weather on site did differ from that in Bude - so if its not nice weather on site then run down to Bude as it may be different. Highly recommend the cream teas available from the site shop !
Had 2 lovely weeks, expeienced wide range of weather conditions, being high up the site is obviously exposed when the winds blow fom the south west. That said, the site staff were first rate, the updated showers were excellent and were kept spotlessly clean.Good location for brilliant beaches at Bude,good spot for visiting so many other great places in the area.
DATE STAYED: July 2011
A lovely pleasent site with friendly helpful holiday managers. Showers will be better when new shower heads and control system put on, but when you got used to old ones they were fine. Lovely views from site. Noise from road soon dies down at night, but we did not find a problem in the day. Ideal to visit Boscastle and Tintagle. Will visit this site any time.
DATE STAYED: June 2011
Very clean and pleasant site. Friendly and hard working managers maintain the site to a high standard. Facilities showing their age but kept very clean. Some traffic noise but the site is positioned well for visiting Bude, Boscastle, Tintagel etc.
MEMBER FOUND TOWING: Moderate
This was our first trip with a caravan and with the club.We were made very welcome.All the staff were very helpful.The site was very well cared for.Very clean toilets etc.Well maintain grounds,lovely plants everywhere.If all sites are like this we will be very happy.A good start to our membership.Had two dogs with us.Widemouth Bay was the nearest and best for them to run free and go in sea.Not so with other beaches,must be on short lead!Most enjoyable stay.
we Had a great time at this site.The welcome was great and helpful.used the bus to return after walking, the coast path. The whole site was kept very clean and tidy the showers and toilets were always clean but in need of updating. we will visit again soon.
The site, which we have visited on several occassions, is easy to access and very convenient for walking the beautiful North Cornwall coastal path. It is nearer to Boscastle and Crackington Haven than to Bude. It is a pleasant grassy site although with some road noise in certain wind conditions. The facilities, although spotlessly clean, are in need of attention. When we were there at Easter the water temperature in the showers was very difficult to regulate and some of the taps almost impossible to turn off. The site is rarely fully booked and well worth a visit.

CD/LP/Track Review
Guillaume de Chassy / Daniel Yvinec: Songs From The Last Century (2009)
Pianist Guillaume de Chassy and bassist Daniel Yvinec tend to be rigorously conceptual in their approach to making records. Previous albums revolved around the jazz treatment of classic French chansons on Chansons sous les bombes (Bee Jazz, 2004), a documentary-like set of jazz chestnuts with vocals contributed by New Yorkers encountered on the street on Wonderful World (Bee Jazz, 2005), and standards played without their melodic lines and given titles from Gary Larson cartoons on Ghost of a Song (Juste une Trace, 2003).
Restricting themselves this time round to songs from the twentieth century is a relatively loose concept. De Chassy and Yvinec take a broad view of the last century, mixing standards including George Gershwin's "Taking a Chance on Love" with selections from the more recent Paul McCartney, Neil Young and Prince songbooks. Their inclusion of the more recent material is less self-consciously hip than other jazz artists who cover rock and roll tunes.
De Chassy and Yvinec holed themselves up with 150 songs and rehearsed exhaustively. That preparation is evident in the empathy between the two on the record. Having winnowed down the set list, the pianist and bassist went to New York to record with Paul Motian and Mark Murphywho last worked together 47 years ago, with none other than Bill Evans. The whirlwind nature of the sessions lends the performances an attractive loose-limbed feel. Murphy, for example, begins "Then I'll Be Tired Of You" still out of breath from having ascended six flights of stairs to the studio. He sounds great, and de Chassy and Yvinec's meticulously constructed cohesion spreads to everyone in the Franco- American quartet.
In a piano trio setting with Bill Evans alumnus Paul Motian, the group must have thought twice about taking on "I Loves You Porgy," famous among the repertoire of the legendary Evans-Motian-Scott LaFaro trio. Nevertheless, de Chassy neither apes Evans nor goes to great pains to differentiate himself: in the shadow of giants, he is at ease and acquits himself beautifully. In the final minutes of the Gershwin tune, de Chassy quotes a measure from Prince's "Condition of the Heart" (the record closes with a full version of that tune). The effortless and lovely juxtaposition is what this record is all about: the continuity of craftsmanship of the great songwriters of the century now past.
Track Listing: Something So Right; I'll Walk Alone (vocal version); I'll Walk Alone (instr. version); Then I'll Be Tired Of You; Like A Hurricane; Alone Together; Junk; You Fascinate Me So; I Loves You Porgy; Taking A Chance On Love; Answer Me My Love; LEtang; I Wish You Love; Condition Of The Heart.
Personnel: Guillaume de Chassy: piano; Daniel Yvinec: double bass; Paul Motian: drums (1, 3, 4, 6-9); Mark Murphy: vocal (2, 4, 10, 13).

On Thursday evening last (that's the 18th of February) there was a 'braai' here in Johannesburg Backpackers. 'Braai' is South African (well, Afrikaans really) for barbecue. The reason for this? It was one of the guest's birthday, Thera.
Festivities began at around 8pm. Among others there was the birthday girl's boyfriend, Casper, a South African guy Martin (he cooked all the meat), Katie and Janelle, an English and Aussie girl, and lots of staff from the hostel.
I ate a lot of meat. Lots. I also played guitar hero for the first time, and invented a shot. I called it the Kaizer Chief. It wasn't very nice if I'm honest. But then what shots are? Anyway, it was a good night but I had 'a bit of a head on me' the next day as we'd say back home.

I bought the HTC EVO when it furst came out and loved it, thought a phone could never get better, and then I bought the Epic 4G, and my view completely changed. The Epic has a better screen resolution, better battery life, better call quality, more memory, a QWERTY keyboard and more. I can't say enough good things about the Samsung Epic 4G.

The next morning, I walked across the lawn to Gatsby's house and greeted him inside.
"'Nothing happened,' he said wanly. 'I waited, and at about four o'clock, she came to the window and stood there for a minute and then turned out the light.'" (Fitzgerald, Ch. 7)
"Gatsby, I think you should leave town. The police will probably trace your car and you might be investigated or sent to jail."
"I can't leave Daisy now. After all this time, I can't abandon her," Gatsby let out an exasperated sigh. However, there was a tinge of apathy in his voice. Almost as if he wished she would just leave.
I checked my watch, there was fifteen minutes until my train. "I have to go to work. I'll stop by later."
"Already? It's not even eight yet!" Gatsby complained.
"I'll be here... as long as you want me to be," he replied.
But I wasn't so convinced by his words. It felt as though he was about to disappear in front of my eyes. Coveting his presence, I held his hand tightly for a moment. Then quickly let go.
"I'll see you soon." I said.
I left, feeling a strange emptiness in me. Walking back, I thought about the friendship we had established over the summer. Without thinking, I turned around and saw his tired figure. "'They're a rotten crowd,' I shouted across the lawn. 'You're worth the whole damn bunch put together.'" (Fitzgerald, Ch. 8) I saw his face lighten up with a smile as he nodded his head.
"Nick's fixation with Gatsby easily suggests flirtation, and his obsession ... punctuates homosexuality."

Inhibition of testicular steroidogenesis by the xenoestrogen bisphenol A is associated with reduced pituitary luteinizing hormone secretion and decreased steroidogenic enzyme gene expression in rat Leydig cells
Akingbemi,Benson T.; Sottas,Chantal M.; Koulova,Anna I.; Klinefelter,Gary R.; Hardy,Matthew P.
Endocrinology 145(2): 592-603
Publication date: 2004
Exposure of humans to bisphenol A (BPA), a monomer in polycarbonateplastics and a constituent of resins used in food packagingand dentistry, is significant. In this report exposure of ratsto 2.4 µg/kg·d (a dose that approximates BPA levelsin the environment) from postnatal d 21-35 suppressedserum LH (0.21 ± 0.05 ng/ml; vs. control, 0.52 ±0.04; P < 0.01) and testosterone (T) levels (1.62 ±0.16 ng/ml; vs. control, 2.52 ± 0.21; P < 0.05), inassociation with decreased LHß and increased estrogenreceptor ß pituitary mRNA levels as measured by RT-PCR.Treatment of adult Leydig cells with 0.01 nM BPA decreased Tbiosynthesis by 25% as a result of decreased expression of thesteroidogenic enzyme 17-hydroxylase/17-20 lyase. BPA decreasedserum 17ß-estradiol levels from 0.31 ± 0.02ng/ml (control) to 0.22 ± 0.02, 0.19 ± 0.02, and0.23 ± 0.03 ng/ml in rats exposed to 2.4 µg, 10µg, or 100 mg/kg·d BPA, respectively, from 21-35d of age (P < 0.05) due to its ability to inhibit Leydigcell aromatase activity. Exposures of pregnant and nursing dams,i.e. from gestation d 12 to postnatal d 21, decreased T levelsin the testicular interstitial fluid from 420 ± 34 (control)to 261 ± 22 (P < 0.05) ng/ml in adulthood, implyingthat the perinatal period is a sensitive window of exposureto BPA. As BPA has been measured in several human populations,further studies are warranted to assess the effects of BPA onmale fertility.

Built in 1987 by the Deggendorfer Shipyard in Germany, the MS Mozart is the largest river cruise vessel in Europe.
Ms Mozart was the river cruise flagship of Peter Deilmann the founder of Deilmann Cruises. Deilmann, himself a connoisseur, decorated the ship lovingly with original artworks throughout. The result: luxurious interiors, largest cabins and suites on the European rivers, a multitude of public spaces lavishly decorated, a rapturous staircase leading to the stunning restaurant and above all - the only river cruise vessel that includes an indoor swimming pool.
The generous dimensions of the State Cabin accommodations onboard the MS MOZART are most certainly the envy of most other vessels and are spread over two decks each presenting guests with facilities that might ordinarily be expected in a five star hotel including: en suite facilities, mini-bar, satellite TV, radio, hairdryer and WIFI. The MS MOZART is magnificent indeed.
Dress aboard and ashore is casual; we suggest you dress comfortably and bring sturdy walking shoes for sightseeing excursions. Dinner attire is "evening casual," and the Captain's Dinner is dressy, but not formal.

Lunch usually includes soup, a salad bar, and a choice of entrée, main dish and dessert. Dinner is a choice of five courses, including a choice of entrées (typically including one regional speciality relevant to your destination).

Day 1
Our Danube voyage begins at the Bavarian city of Passau. If time permits, see the splendid Cathedral which boasts the world's largest organ and its renowned Italianate architecture. The MS MOZART embarkation begins at 16:00 and is soon followed by the Captain's Welcome Reception where there is ample opportunity to mingle and get to know one's fellow guests before sailing towards Upper Austria and the marvels of the Wachau Valley. A welcome dinner is served in the restaurant. Sail during the night.
Day 2
Reach the charming village of Melk at breakfast time (08:00) and later make an optional visit to the Baroque cliff-top Melk Abbey. For more than 1,000 years considered the cultural and spiritual heart of the country, Melk Abbey houses countless art treasures so our visit provides ample time both to explore its many rooms and the impressive gardens beyond. Depart Melk at midday for Esztergom in Hungary.
Day 3
Today the arrangement provides guests with two options; firstly to remain on board and continue cruising to Budapest or, alternatively, to disembark in Esztergom for an optional visit to see the Danube from the shore-side with included visits to Esztergom located on a particularly scenic part of the Danube, called the 'Danube Bend'. Here the river turns suddenly to the south, in the direction of Budapest, and marks the border between Slovakia and Hungary.
At Esztergom, see the Basilica before continuing to the castle ruins at Visegrad, an artists' community at Szentendre complete with, as you might expect, art and handicraft displays before arriving in Budapest in time for lunch onboard the MS MOZART. Since this section of the river is also traversed later in the itinerary nothing is missed.
In the afternoon choose an optional visit to the twin cities of Buda and Pest to view the main sights including Heroes' Square, Mathias Church, Fisherman's Bastion and the Royal Palace. Enjoy the amazing sight of Budapest by night during the included "The lights of Budapest" tour on board of the MS MOZART. Moor Budapest overnight.
Day 4
Morning sees an optional visit to the Parliament Buildings, St Stephen's Basilica and the Market Hall in Budapest. In the afternoon there is an optional visit to a Hungarian Csarda accompanied by traditional musical renditions and folklore. As the MS MOZART slips her mooring in Budapest at supper time, see the wonderful silhouetted buildings that line the waterfront. Sail during the night.
Day 5
The morning is at leisure as the MS MOZART meanders her way towards the Slovakian capital, Bratislava. In the afternoon an optional visit is arranged to see the St Martin's Dom Cathedral, the Grassalkovich Palace and Castle Hill with its wonderful views over the surrounding countryside. It is a must of any visit to Bratislava to partake in a little (famous) beer tasting which is also on offer following supper. Sail in the evening.
Day 6
Morning arrival in Vienna with an opportunity to see the main sights of the Austrian capital including St Stephen's Cathedral, the Staatsoper Opera House, Parliament Buildings and Town Hall. In the afternoon see the Schonbrunn Palace and Gardens, whilst in the evening choose between a visit to Grinzing for wine tasting or an interlude of Johann Strauss and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart music by the Wiener Hofburg Orchestra. Sail at night towards Krems.
Day 7
Reach Krems in the heart of beautiful Wachau Valley and later travel to the romantic wine-growing village of Durnstein, an area of picturesque riverside villages and castles against the backdrop of gently rolling vineyards. Durnstein itself is best explored on foot. Later visit the Baroque Stift Gottweig Monastery commanding an impressive elevated location overlooking the Danube. The visit concludes with an exploration of Krems and the obligatory wine tasting before re-joining the MS MOZART for the evening Captain's Farwell reception and dinner. Sail towards Passau.
Day 8
Disembark after breakfast.

Not only is Magee Rehabilitation the Delaware Valley's original provider of physical medicine and rehabilitation (PM&R), it also has sponsored the area's longest-standing professional enrichment program designed to educate those in the rehabilitation community.
These programs mirror areas of Magee expertise, namely spinal cord injury, brain injury, stroke/geriatrics, amputation and workplace injury.
June 14 - 15, 2013
Vestibular Rehabilitation: Treatment Intensive
Gaye W. Cronin, OTD, OTR/L
This course is designed for physical and occupational therapists and other healthcare professionals working with patients suffering from balance and vestibular disorders. Treating patients with vestibular disorders can be daunting. Recognizing and assessing them can also be challenging, but once the process is completed, you need to be able to develop an appropriate treatment plan. This course will present vestibular treatments as a system of exercises and movements that the clinician learns to select, grade, and develop a continuum for the individual patient. It will emphasize treatments of vestibular disorders of childhood, adults and the elderly. Childhood paroxysmal vertigo, multiple canal BPPV, Menieres disease, ototoxicity, bilateral disorders, malde debarquement, migraine associated vertigo, traumatic vertigo (including post concussion vertigo), acoustic neuroma, central vertigo, and disequilibrium of aging will be covered. The course is interactive, with lab sessions to practice treatment techniques, and will offer exercises for problem solving.

Advanced Dynamic Anatomy: Bridging the Gap between Anatomy&Treatment
Greg Kopp, PT, MPT, OCS, CIMT
This class will give the clinician the ability to find the cause of muscle weakness and the patientҒs pain based on functional anatomy principles. This will enable the clinician to direct their patients to a quicker, more successful recovery. Attendees will learn how to palpate all muscles that are responsible for dysfunction along with learning the difference between muscle function and action so they will be able to immediately recognize muscle dysfunction and identify the specific muscle at fault. Come learn what to do with the muscular system we were never taught in school. This course will definitely change the way you view finding the cause of common orthopedic problems and make treatment easier. Attendees should have a basic knowledge of anatomy as this is an applied anatomy course.
As with all of our manual therapy courses, this seminar will follow a progression of principles and reinforce them throughout the 16 hours, is at least 75% hands-on lab, and will give the clinician hands-on skills they use immediately upon their return to the clinical setting.

Locomotor Training Principles and Practice: An Activity-Based Therapy Course
Locomotor training, an activity-based therapy, provides task-specific practice of standing and walking by optimizing the sensory cues to generate improved motor activity for mobility, standing, and walking after neurologic injury. Locomotor retraining is provided on a treadmill using partial body weight support and manual facilitation. Improved neuromuscular capacity is then transferred to overground skills that are integrated into the home and community.
Participants will learn the scientific basis, hands-on skills, clinical decision-making, and administrative and management strategies for providing locomotor training in a four-day intense course: including pre-conference preparation (6 hours of online lectures; 6-10 hours of reading, assignments and tests) and 2.5 days at a clinical site. This intensive four-day course combines didactic teaching and practical skills development with hands on treatment of individuals with neurologic dysfunction.

Viewer Comments: Shoulder Dislocation - SymptomsViewer Comments & ReviewsShoulder Dislocation - SymptomsThe eMedicineHealth physician editors ask:What were the symptoms of your shoulder dislocation?
Comment from: Penny, 45-54 Female (Patient)
Published: November 26
My horse ran out at a jump which unbalanced me and frightened him so he galloped off sideways. I fell at speed with my right arm out holding on to the right rein. The pain was excruciating, morphine hardly touched it. It was put in place by the doctor, but I can hardly move it after five days, because it's still so painful. Related Reading: morphine

I have dislocated my left shoulder about nine times in the last two years including yesterday. The pain of course is excruciating. The first time it happened I didn't realize it was a dislocation. I just thought I had pain in my hands, but after about 30minutes I felt a pop in my shoulder. I went for an X-ray and have had the terrible experience like seven times since then.
Comment from: Sya, 35-44 Female (Patient)
Published: December 16
I slipped while going down the (6 or 7) stairs to answer the door and dislocated my left shoulder. I felt immediate intense pain and had to sit at the bottom of the stairs for a few seconds before I felt like I could even get up. I thought the pain was so bad because I had broken my arm, but it wasn't. My arm was hanging down and twisted by my side and I couldn't move it without using my other hand. I used my right hand to see how much I could move it and it felt like a spring had sprung back into place and there was some relief of pain. I still had the most awful pain in my upper arm though and tried to keep it as still as possible for the next couple of hours.

Seizures are only after I fall asleep. I have dislocated both shoulders over 30 times. I'm 57 now, and the seizures are very rare now with no reason ever found.

When my shoulder dislocated, I had extreme pain. I had never had pain like that before. My arm was useless and I thought I had broken it. I fell right on the top of the shoulder and heard a crunch. It is still very sore after 3 months.

Both my shoulders have spontaneously dislocated since I was in elementary school. I am now in my mid-50's. Both my hips spontaneously dislocate. I now have arthritis in my hips and my shoulders, as well as my spine and several other joints in my body. I personally believe the laxity of my tendons that allow these spontaneous dislocations may be genetically linked and also a contributing factor to the multiple arthritis locations, and multiple pain locations.

VC, RIP">Ted Kenna VC, RIP
Over the weekend, Australia lost our last living World War 2 VC — at the ripe old age of 90. His name was Edward 'Ted' Kenna, and I met him a couple of times.
It would have been 1995, possibly 1996. I was 11, and we were living in Puckapunyal, the Army base smack-dab in the middle of Victoria. Primarily used as a training facility, Pucka is little more than a massive artillery range with an Army base and a married patch attached. It's surrounded by electric fences — not for security, but to keep the 'roos from jumping out of the range into nearby farmlands.
Dad was running 1st Recruit Training Battalion, Echo Company in Pucka. A big intake had meant that Kapooka didn't have enough room, so E Company was detached to Puckapunyal. The first march-out called for a bit of pomp and ceremony, and it turned out that E Company was Ted Kenna's unit way back when (or so I'm recalling — it's been a while).
He came over to our place for dinner, with his wife. They were both genuinely lovely people — just nice, real nice. Ted was happy to talk to me and my brother, and he was even okay with telling the story of how he got his Victoria Cross — though he cautioned us not to call him a hero, because he was just a bloke who was under pressure and lost his cool when he'd had enough. In fact, I seem to recall he called his actions 'reckless' and 'a little crazy'.

Interesting Fact #1: 400 American citizens hold more combined wealth (cash, stock and property) than the assets of 155 million Americans combined.
Interesting Fact #2: Thanks to the Supreme Court's ruling in Citizens United, those 400 wealthiest Americans now have an unprecedented amount of influence over our nation's electoral politics.
Democracy? More like plutocracy.

Luteinizing Hormone
How To Prepare
Many medicines, such as cimetidine, clomiphene, digitalis, and levodopa, can change your results. You may be asked to stop taking medicines (including birth control pills) that contain Reference estrogen Opens New Window or Reference progesterone Opens New Window or both for up to 4 weeks before having a luteinizing hormone (LH) test. Make sure your doctor has a complete list of all the prescription and over-the-counter medicines you are taking, including herbs and natural substances.
Tell your doctor if you have had a test that used a radioactive substance (tracer) within the last 7 days. Recent tests (such as a thyroid scan or bone scan) using a radioactive tracer can interfere with LH test results.
Let your doctor know the first day of your last menstrual period. If your bleeding pattern is light or begins with spotting, the first day is the day of heaviest bleeding.
Talk to your doctor about any concerns you have regarding the need for the test, its risks, how it will be done, or what the results will mean. To help you understand the importance of this test, fill out the medical test information form (What is a Reference PDF Opens New Window document?).

This is a great modern template with great light gradients. Try adding your sign details to see the results!
5mm Corrugated Plastic is a lightweight, inexpensive sign board that can be used outdoors.
Corrugated signs are often used with "H" frames. These signs are commonly used for Real Estate signage and other advertisements along roadsides and in front of stores to promote sales.
The "flute" lines make for a less attractive interior sign, but these inexpensive signs are a step up from the "handwritten" poster, and are often used in shops to post company policies, shop rates, sales promotions and more.
Design your own corrugated plastic signs to fit inside your Corflute-Insert A-Frame (900mmH x 600mmW only).

So I was very happy to see H&M (Hennes & Mauritz) finally opening a store in Singapore.
Apparently I was not the only one;-).
The opening and the shop's first days were an absolute frenzy; crazy!
For weeks the swedish chain had been campaigning. Getting potential buyers all excited and luring them with gifts: the first 5 in line would receive a sgd 250 gift card and the first 300 would receive a sgd 20 gift card. (For the european readers: 125 euro and 10 euro.)
At 20.45 hrs the eve before the opening, already 15 persons had formed a line before the entrance and spent the night there!
At the exact openingtime there were 1.500 people in line and waited even during a 40 minute rainfall!
As I learned over the past two years, if there is something new EVERYBODY wants to be there right away. So naturally I had no intention of going to H&M on their openingday. The day after, at the end of the afternoon, I was walking past the shop. Before arriving there I had considered popping in if it was not too busy. To check out what collection they were carrying in Singapore and wether they would have a European size 40.
As soon as I arrived near the shop my jaw fell to the ground. There was an endless queue with a bunch of queuing personel to coach all the potential shoppers. It must have taken at least two hours waiting before entering the shop. Maybe even more!

LP (Item 62935) Whatmusic (UK), Late 60s — Condition: New Copy
A mad batch of tunes that are a perfect example of the "pilantragem" (piracy) movement in Brazil at the end of the 60s! Similar to some of the pluralistic cultural influences running through Tropicalia, pilantragem borrows music from a world of different sources – working in a style that offers a pastiche of many different strands, many ideas, all filtered into one groovy sound! The core of the group on this set is a jazz one – with players that include Paulo Moura on saxes, Pascoal Meirelles on drums, and Wagner Tiso on piano – but the bouncing groove of the set is way more than jazz, and is in the best tradition of the mad Brazilian mix-up music we love so much. Titles include "El Relicario", "O Ebrio", "Ana Cristina", and "Barril De Chopp". © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. |

I am facing some troubles with connector update and that is I found in a website that includes a thing with the link and I downloaded it and installed and after that found trouble of the folder. I was advised of going to the docs as well settings/local/micro/outlook. also "remove" whole .ost files after that then reinstall should be done.
I followed the advice but I have still the same problem. It retrieves emails for at first then later it starts providing error on the name of folder also can not proceed on retrieving of emails. Now I need to know whether there are any other extra file either "registry entries" that I should have to do deletion /modification activities? Could you please help me on this?

Herbalife found itself in a public relations nightmare in December when the hedge fund manager William A. Ackman called the company a pyramid scheme, announcing he was short-selling its shares. Since then, the stock has rebounded somewhat, and it got a lift on Wednesday when another hedge fund manager, Daniel S. Loeb, said he was bullish on Herbalife, which sells nutritional supplements and skin-care products through a network of independent distributors.
On Thursday, Herbalife defended itself in a meeting with analysts and investors. DealBook followed the proceedings below.
The meeting concluded after 2.5 hours — about 30 minutes less than Mr. Ackman's presentation.
The stock is up about 3 percent, after rising as much as 7.6 percent during the morning.
Mr. Johnson makes a parting comment: "Girl scouts sell cookies on a direct selling method, and nobody attacks them."
Mr. Walsh, the president, addresses the assertion that a significant number of distributors are unsuccessful at selling products.
To some extent, he says, it's a question of perspective.
"If I'm a billionaire hedge fund manager, $250 a month doesn't sound like a lot of money."
But for a distributor, he says, that can count as success.
"Will there be stories dragged up of unsuccessful distributors?" Mr. Walsh says. "Perhaps. But it is not representative."
Bill Schmitz from Deutsche Bank asks if the headaches of being a public company outweigh the benefits. Would Herbalife ever go private?
"We like being public for a lot of reasons," Mr. Johnson says. "We think it's a good way for this company to operate."
He adds a dig at the hedge fund managers: "It appears there's commercial benefit from people playing us one way or another."
Now on to questions.
Mr. Johnson, the chief executive, is asked whether there was anything in Mr. Ackman's presentation that struck him as a good point. Herbalife's terminology, Mr. Johnson says, could use some editing.
"That's probably the most valid point," he says. "Us calling everybody a 'distributor' confuses people."
Anne Coughlan, a professor at Northwestern's Kellogg School of Management, gives a lesson on multilevel marketing companies, which, in addition to Herbalife, include Avon, Amway and Mary Kay.
"There really isn't any reason you would expect a legitimate M.L.M. to collapse under its own weight," she says.
Consumption of products within the network of distributors, she says, counts as retail consumption.
"When you run a legitimate M.L.M. system, self-consumption is in fact end-user consumption," she says. "It's a retail sale like any other. In that sense it is being consumed by someone who is an end user."
"This is a real company," she adds.
Mr. Ackman asserted that all of the payments from Herbalife to distributors were recruiting awards, but Mr. DeSimone says that's not the case.
In actuality, Mr. DeSimone says, the payments to distributors are from sales. "Zero fee is paid for recruiting," he says.
What's more, he says, distributors make profit even from sales online, which can be at a relatively low price.
John DeSimone, the chief financial officer, begins his presentation with an anecdote. About seven or eight months ago, he says, he was at an investor presentation sponsored by a bank. At such events, he said, "you are required to wear a badge."
But one individual asking him questions was not wearing a badge, Mr. DeSimone says. Mr. DeSimone asked where the person was from. "Poland," he said.
Mr. DeSimone asked what company he was from, and the person said Pershing Square.
"I said, 'If Bill wants to learn about Herbalife, he should give me a call,'" Mr. DeSimone said, referring to Mr. Ackman. But a call, Mr. DeSimone says, never happened.
Mr. Walsh shows a video of people enjoying the nutrition clubs, to show that the company sells to customers outside the distribution network.
He also quotes an "elderly widow," who said, "This shake, this club, it's my life."
Des Walsh, the Herbalife president, defends the company's nutrition clubs, which Mr. Ackman depicted in "demeaning terms."
"These are places where people come together in a warm, sharing environment," Mr. Walsh says, "to have a shake, share an Aloe," referring to a Herbalife drink product.
"It's about a shake, a tea, an Aloe — and a hug," he continues. "I know in this community, hugging is not something you do a lot. But the world needs more hugs. And they find them, along with good nutrition, in the nutrition clubs."
He shows a picture of a club from Mr. Ackman's presentation. It doesn't look too appealing. But that's not an accurate image, Mr. Walsh says. "Inside these clubs is America," he says.
Herbalife's shares are up about 2 percent as the trading day begins.
One of Mr. Ackman's claims was that Herbalife does not have a prominent brand. Kim Rory, with Lieberman Research, says that claim "surprised" her. She notes that she is from Los Angeles.
"In L.A., certainly, the logo is fairly ubiquitous," she says. "They're a sponsor of our soccer team, the Galaxy."
Citing the results of research, she also challenges another claim by Pershing Square. "Clearly sales are not just going to distributors, but rather to that large consumer base," she says.
Vasilios Frankos, Herbalife's senior vice president for product compliance and safety, highlights his background at the Food and Drug Administration. "All claims made on our products are substantiated by science," he says.
"Before any product leaves the manufacturing plant, we have to be assured that what is on the label is what is actually in the container," he continues. "That wasn't true before I implemented many of the dietary G.M.P.'s when I was at F.D.A." he says, referring to good manufacturing practices.
He also introduces scientists who consult with Herbalife, in an effort to rebut a claim by Pershing Square. "I think they will confirm they are not hired guns, but work with Herbalife because they believe in the products."
Mr. Goudis says Pershing Square was being "intentionally" misleading in its presentation when it cited the retail prices of Herbalife's products to show the products were relatively expensive. Using the metric of price per serving, Mr. Goudis argues that "we are very competitively priced."
"I don't shop as much as my wife, but I know that on every single shelf in America, it says price per unit," Mr. Goudis says.
He also takes issue with Mr. Ackman's use of eBay as a proxy for market prices. He adds: "A small, small fraction of Herbalife products are actually sold on eBay."
In his presentation in December, Mr. Ackman of Pershing Square Capital raised questions about Herbalife's investments in research and development. Herbalife's chief operating officer, Richard Goudis, says the company typically invests $44 million a year in R.&D.
He emphasizes the "science" that goes into the products by showing a slide of Herbalife's suppliers, which include Solae and A.D.M.
Michael Johnson, the chief executive, takes the lectern. "In recent weeks there's been a tremendous amount of misinformation about Herbalife," he says. "This has generated confusion among you and doubt among some in our wonderful business model."
He introduces the day's speakers. Hinting at Mr. Ackman's three-hour presentation in December, Mr. Johnson says, "One photo is worth at least one hundred PowerPoint slides."
Mr. Johnson also shares a story about a friend, Jake, who met an individual who said he had been helped by Herbalife products. "I said, 'Jake, I hear these stories all the time,'" the chief executive said. "We are helping people every single day."
Amy Greene, Herbalife's head of investor relations, welcomes investors and reads a disclaimer. She introduces the chairman and chief executive, Michael Johnson.
Earlier this month, Steven M. Davidoff, the Deal Professor columnist, examined the Herbalife flap and the culture of worship around celebrity short-sellers.
In these celebrity short bets, the truth often seems beside the point to the market. The question of what the facts are gets overtaken by the spectacle of a titanic struggle between company and hedge fund operator. John Hempton of Bronte Capital, who owns Herbalife stock, calls this "hedge-fund porn" and has characterized the struggle over Herbalife as "the hedge-fund equivalent of Stalingrad. Someone is going to lose big. And the victor will be so bloodied that the word victory will sound hollow."
Yet the battle over Herbalife is not really Stalingrad. Rather, it is more like the United States invading Grenada.

(Note: this post does discuss a new affiliation/brand ambassadorship into which I've recently entered. Since I rarely ever use this space for that type of post, I just wanted to let you know in advance, as I don't want you to feel "ambushed" into reading it. I am excited about this, though, and wanted to share it, so...well, here we are.)
As the weather gets nicer, I grow increasingly excited about All The Stuff We Shall Do As A Family On The Weekend. Since we're Sabbath-observant, however, "the weekend" is really reduced to "Sunday," and PANIC! had already begun to set in, in terms of, you know, finding age-appropriate stuff for us to do on the ONE DAY WE HAVE. I work full-time, and I'm admittedly terrible about being in the loop on events and fun activities to do in and around the city by the time the weekend actually rolls around. Ad a result, J and I had resolved to make a concerted effort to visit new places with the kids; we put in some research this past week, and our efforts paid off with a fantastic time together at a nearby nature preserve on Sunday (pictures here).
I love this kind of stuff, and I love checking out new places with the kids. It's just that I generally suck at figuring out what it is that we should do. As you might therefore imagine, I was over the moon when PBS recently got in touch with me and asked if I wanted to be a PBS Kids Blogger Ambassador for their newly-launched Kids Club Thirteen (the "Thirteen" being our local PBS station). Kids Club Thirteen Members get discounts to great places for kids in and around NYC, ideas for fun new places for kids, and get to attend free VIP events each month (where kids get to meet their favorite characters).
The first event is Sunday, May 9 at the Prospect Park Zoo (Fleece Weekend, which will involve sheep shearing, crafts, Ruff Ruffman, and giveaways); J, the kids and I will definitely be there.
We're huge fans of PBS -- both for us and the kids -- and I'm thrilled about this new project. I'm excited to be working with a station whose programming that so positively impacted my childhood (and is now doing the same for my own kids), and I'm OVERJOYED that we'll have a bunch of new places/fun events to check out with the kids on the weekends. Sign up here, if you're local, and, like me, are downright gleeful at the prospect of taking the guesswork out of entertaining your kids on the weekend, and doing so in a quality way.
I've received a free membership for the year (other than that, I'm receiving no compensation). Membership is $75, covers two adults, and up to three kids, and is ideal for ages 3-11. If you join before May 9, you get two years for the price of one (or $3 a month for two years). Plus, you're supporting public television (so...good deed, right there) and have fantastic events squared away for your kids each month. Kids Club Thirteen is also on Facebook (check out the programs under the "Events" tab), and Twitter.

NIGHT SECRETS was inspired by the old song "Brandy," about the tavern maid who fell in love with a sea captain whose heart belonged to the sea. Fortunately, the story was only loosely connected to the song--which saved me from a lawsuit by the people who wrote it!
Often my Contemporary novels blossom from something I've read in the newspapers or seen on TV. SEASON OF STRANGERS was about a young woman and her sister who had an encounter with a UFO, a subject I've read a great deal about.
My new book, AGAINST THE WIND, began in a similar fashion. I was cruising along the 90 Freeway crossing Montana, enjoying the crisp fall weather, the brilliant colors of the leaves, and listening to the country channel on the radio. As I headed toward home, a Trace Atkins song came on, How do you like me now? It's a wonderful tune that tells a great story. And it gave me the kernel of an idea for a story I was able to expand into a book.
In the song, a young girl humiliates a boy who has a crush on her. Later that boy grows up to be extremely successful and he wonders how that girl feels about him now.
In my mind, that boy and girl became Jackson Raines and Sarah Allen, the hero and heroine in the book. Years later, Sarah returns to the small Wyoming town of Wind Canyon, in trouble after her failed marriage. Unfortunately for Sarah, the only person who can keep her and her little girl, Holly, safe is Jackson Raines, the boy--now a man--she humiliated in high school all those years ago.
Most of the time, my story ideas seem to come out of nowhere. One day I'm looking for a plot for a book and then suddenly, I know that I want to write about Gabriel Raines and his struggle to find the arsonist who is trying to kill him. Then I search for the woman Gabe is going to fall in love with, no easy task for a macho man like Gabe. Lady architect, Mattie Baker, filled the spot perfectly, and the book became AGAINST THE FIRE.
AGAINST THE LAW, the third book in the trilogy, seemed to come fairly easily once I got started. I loved Dev Raines, the sexiest and wildest of the Raines brothers. Once Lark Delaney walked into his life, the plot began to roll. The novel developed as I wrote it, which is unusual for me, and it turned out to be one of my all-time favorites.
I've discovered that readers seem to like trilogies. I wonder how you all feel about them? Like them? Hate them?
I hope you'll watch for the Raines Brothers trilogy, AGAINST THE WIND, AGAINST THE FIRE, and AGAINST THE LAW. They're coming January, February, March. Till then, happy reading and all best wishes, Kat

Small Business Saturday Gave Us More Than We Bargained For! The economy is broken! We have many many things to fix, where do we start? The holidays are coming fast and if you are fortunate to still be living in a home with a roof over your head you are one of the Lucky ones!
Tonight on the news, CBS Nightly News to be exact we watched a clip of a little girl standing side by side to her brother. They live in Florida in their car with their Father. She was asked what her feelings were about the situation? She answered that's life isn't it? I found myself thinking to myself, are these her actual feelings, or were they mimic-ed from someone like her Dad? She continued to speak about her and her families feelings, apparently her Mother died some years ago and they lost their house last year when the Construction worked dropped with no work available!
Apparently she and her brother also attend School with many other kids in the same situation. At the end of the interview She was asked if she could say anything what would she say? "When I see other kids my age I wonder if they are like myself and my family or are they different and more fortunate. If I hear the kids giving their Parents a bad time, yelling, wanting things in the Store or just being nasty it hurts me and I am saddened! I think to myself, Oh they need to be thankful for the family, house, life and what they have. Live as if this is your last day, because tomorrow you could wake up and be in the same position as myself and my family are today"! Those words and pictures have been burnt into my head and I have NOT been able to get that little girls face out of my head. We today are worried about the economy and what the Holidays are going to bring into the retail end of the business. I wanted to get in my car, travel across the United States and find this girl and her family and bring them home with me! We need to get a care package together and set it up so she and her family receive it before Christmas!
As a business owner these are very uncertain times to no avail! If we do not pitch in to help each other, our Society, this Country the United States is desperately in trouble! Then I also walk away from the situation thinking, I was so worried all day if I had gotten all the marketing done that I needed to do for the store, then it did not seem as important as it did earlier in the day!

Black Friday has come and gone, and though we saw some decent Blu-ray deals, the lower priced models were certainly not among the players that have been recommended to us.
Panasonic's DMP-BD35K, however, is. And Dealnews tells us that now through December 13 at Amazon.com you can snatch up the Panny DMP-BD35K, as well as four movies from a Warner Brothers list of 22 eligible Blu-ray titles for a grand total of about $209 (including free shipping).
Plus, there's a Panasonic mail-in rebate good until February that lets you grab "Ratatouille" and "The Nightmare Before Christmas" free (though it's called a "Sleeping Beauty" promotion for some reason—must have run out of those free copies quickly).
Of course, you'd have to grab the four cheapest WB movies on Amazon to make it $209 (subtracting $100 instant rebate after adding the Blu-ray player plus the movie costs), but there are definitely some gems on there, like "Goodfellas" and "V for Vendetta" that may interest you.
And even if you swing some of the other films that run a couple of bucks more, it'll still get you a sweet Blu-ray player and six movies for $225 and under.
Also, Dealnews did some tallying on other eligible players in this Amazon promotion, where the lowest bundle would run you: $268 for the LG BD300, $287 for the Sony BDP-S550, or $436 for the Denon DVD-1800BD. All in all, not a bad way to enter the Blu-ray fray.
One is a subsidiary of DTS, with the other looking to gain traction via Indiegogo.

Three Burglars Chased Off by Neighbor at Woodbridge Apartment
Prince William County Police searching for three teens in investigation.
Police are searching for three people in an attempted break-in on Horizon Court in Woodbridge on Wednesday, according to Prince William County Police spokesman Jonathan Perok. Officers were notified of a potential buglary in progress at 4 p.m. Wednesday in the 2000 block of Horizon Court. A neighbor called police when she heard the sound of glass breaking from a nearby apartment, Perok said in a statement. "The caller observed three unknown males, all believed to be juveniles, standing to the rear of the residence," he said. "At the same time, another neighbor confronted the juveniles who then ran off." No entry was made into the apartment and no property was missing. Police are looking for three boys between 14 and 16 years old:
