No matter what your favorite holiday, you won't want to miss celebrating it with the author who has been called "one of the funniest writers alive" (Economist).
©2008 David Sedaris; (P)2008 David Sedaris
Audible has changed my life! Dry , itchy eyes were destroying one of my greatest pleasures - reading. Now I am experiencing books again!
"Add a touch of Bitter to your Holiday Sweet"
What a tradition-- right up there with "It's a Wonderful Life," "A Christmas Carol," and "Christmas Vacation".
Many Christmas stories are sugar sweet, but, if you like a little spice with your sweet, include David Sedaris in your yearly holiday experience. "The Christmas Elf' is one of the funniest, most irreverent, and most memorable of listens.
Sedaris may not be for everyone, but if you sometimes appreciate the cynical side of holiday cheer, try this.
And do it for his absolutely unique, creakie little voice!
"A refresher before meeting the author"
I had tickets to see David Sedaris and I was brushing up on some of his older books to refresh my memory beforehand. As always, a delightful listen. I've read all of his books, but I much prefer listening to him read them. The very best part of this book is that he sings in the voice of Billie Holiday. It's one thing to read the story and the words say, I sang a commercial jingle in the voice of Billie Holiday. It's a whole other thing to actually hear him sing a jingle like Billie Holiday. Brilliant!!!
I'm a huge fan of David Sedaris and would recommend all of his books. And if you have a chance to see him perform, even better. Not only is he funny, he's also very nice. When he signs your book, he looks directly at you and asks you questions, then writes something personal just for you. When I saw him recently, he stayed and signed books until one in the morning. He looked exhausted, but he was gracious and engaging.
I'm a big fan of SF/F/Horror, and all things in between and out.
"Best When In SantaLand"
If you're not ready for Department Store Christmas Carolers or Mall Santas, plug Holidays On Ice into your ears. Sedaris generally does an excellent job of pointing toward the madness of the holidays, without feeling like a Grinch.
The opening story "The SantaLand Diaries" is about Sedaris working in a Department Store as an elf, and if you've ever experienced a certain frustration (along with Charlie Brown) about the commercialization of Christmas, or Christmas being pushed on you, this story is a can't miss.
The rest of the stories weren't nearly as much fun for me. "Seasons Greetings" and "Christmas Means Giving" in particular ended felt overly mean and cruel.
That said, others, like "Dinah, The Christmas Whore," and "Six to Eight Black Men" were genuinely amusing. I wouldn't call "Monster Mash" fun, but it was incredibly well written.
(There are more stories in this edition than in the previous version. Personally, I think the additional stories are welcome.)
I suspect, like "A Christmas Carol," I'll make listening to "The SantaLand Diaries" and some of the stories an annual tradition.
Say something about yourself!
"I am a fan"
As the title proclaims I love Sedaris. I find his humor engaging and insightful. I will take on anything with his name on it. Lucky for me, his books have been wonderful. He is subtle and droll. I do not know who to compare him to. Try one of his books. I think you will love his stories. He reads his own material. He has an engaging voice and is one of the few who I think are able to read their own material to good effect. Usually my heart sinks when I see that the author is reading the book. Not so with Sedaris. His reading is part of "the act."
Multimedia Enthusiast
"Funny stories"
The stories are funny but some a bit cruel which makes it a little hard to listen to - but if you like Sedaris, it's VERY Sedaris.
Young Adult and Brit Lit aficionado.
"Six Not-Quite-New Stories"
hilarious, scandalous, worrisome
David is a great story-teller and is self-deprecating and proud all in one go.
Being a Christmas elf.
These stories are great, but they are not all new. They have been in other publications.
"Funniest delivery imaginable"
Yes. It never fails to make me laugh.
David Sedaris.
I hate the letter story. It is cruel and insufferable.
"David Sedaris never disappoints"
It is hard for me to be unbiased when it comes to reviewing David Sedaris's work as I am a huge fan. As always, entertaining, especially in a Winter holiday context. I also love that David always narrates his books which makes them especially enjoyable.
"A little too cynical."
Interesting enough that I wasn't totally disappointed but there wasn't a lot of laugh out loud dialouge. I thought the most genuine and funny part was about the authors childhood. I wish there was a bit more of it.
It seems a bit mean-spiritred at times.
Sedaris did a fantastic job reading. It gave the text more authenticity.
This isn't the type of book that would lend itself to a movie.
I listened to it while I wrapped Christmas gifts. It was a present to myself and a relatively light "read".
"I can never get enough David Sedaris"
This books is no exception to the level of popularity that the greatness of all other books David Sedaris has allowed him.
While this one would probably be properly appreciated during the holiday season, (Late October through December) I have no repercussions in giving this book all the stars allowed.
I purposely read and cherish Sedaris' books when they are read by the author himself (as this one is).
This is one of the type of books that I could easily see myself listening to again and being equally satisfied by it.
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.

AMA Supercross is the most esteemed organized stadium cycling event in America. Tucked neatly into the extreme sports category, Supercross is derived from the sport of motorcross, differing mostly in the aspects of speed and difficulty level. Some trace the roots of Supercross back to a 1972 race put on by a racing promoter that was affectionately referred to as the "Super Bowl of Motorcross." On an uptick since the 1970s, the popularity of Supercross has surged making it one of the most popular sports across the US.
The AMA Supercross series plays out from December into May and consists of 33 rounds across three races on 17 tracks across the US. Rain or shine the action continues, leaving the racers plowing through the mud if necessary. If you are searching for a little action to get your blood racing and adrenaline pumping, then you belong trackside at AMA Supercross. Witness the extreme action from the best seats in the stadium when you purchase your AMA Supercross tickets now!

Treating ME/CFS With Imunovir
Remember I explained that ME/CFS is neither an immune deficiency nor an auto-immune disease? Parts of our immune systems are over-active and other parts are under-active. This means that suppressing the immune system with steroids (as is often done with auto-immune diseases) won't work for us, and stimulating the entire immune system is likely to make us feel even worse. What we need is an immune system modulator, something that will help re-balance our immune systems, restoring the normal Th1-Th2 balance that we are missing.
I learned this fairly early in my illness, but there didn't seem to be many options available for treatment. I tried many herbal supplements over the years that were supposed to be immune system modulators (various types of mushroom blends, for instance), but I never noticed any improvement. I learned about Imunovir years ago, but since it is not sold in the US, I thought it was unavailable to me (my primary care physician didn't feel comfortable prescribing something not available in the US). Then, last year, my Infectious Disease/CFS doctor suggested trying Imunovir - I was thrilled to have a chance to try it after all these years!
It turns out it is fairly easy to get, if you know how. Imunovir has been used safely in Europe and Canada for decades (it has not gone through the FDA process in the US for political reasons, not safety reasons). My doctor gave me a prescription that I faxed to a pharmaceutical distributor in Canada. Imunovir costs $100 for about a month's supply (dosing varies), and there is a $30 shipping fee, but my insurance covers Immunovir at 70% (I have to submit the receipts after I get it), and I can reduce the shipping fee by ordering several months' worth at a time. A friend has told me there is a cheaper generic version (slightly different but similar), but I don't have any details on that.
Dosing of Imunovir is fairly complicated. Apparently, immune system modulators work best by pulsing the dose; a steady dose stops working after a while. I have read all sorts of complicated dosing schedules online, but my doctor suggested a schedule used by Dr. Nancy Klimas, a renowned CFS specialist and researcher: Start with 1 tablet (500 mg) twice a day for the first week, then go up to 2 tablets twice a day for 3 weeks, then increase to 3 tablets twice a day (6 total). In all cases, take Imunovir Monday through Friday and take none at all on Saturday and Sunday. I have read that Dr. Cheney (another renowned CFS doctor) also suggests changing the dose each week and taking it for 2 months, then taking an entire month off.
When I tried to go up to the maximum dose of 6 tablets a day, I had some side effects. I found that taking 2-3 tablets late in the day left me overstimulated and unable to get to sleep. I backed off to 4 per day, taking 2 in the morning and 2 in the afternoon, but then I had some mild immune symptoms (sore throat and aches) after going so long without any overnight and then taking 2 in the morning. So, I have finally settled on my own dosing schedule: 1 with breakfast, 1 at mid-morning, 1 with lunch, 1 after my nap (weekends off), and it seems to be working well for me. To mix it up, sometimes I take only 2 pills a day for a week.
As I explained in my earlier post on my improvement last year, I felt better overall last year, with improvements in energy, more good days, and fewer crash days. Some of that improvement was due to beta blockers and some was due to Imunovir, and it's hard to completely separate the effects of the two for me. Some signs that my immune system is functioning more normally include: fewer crashes, crashing less frequently when one of my kids is exposed to a virus, and a significant reduction in allergy symptoms. I need to go back and quantify the allergy improvement, but it just occurred to me recently that a year ago, my allergies had ramped up significantly and now they are back to being mild. Also, I typically feel the worst in the winter, when there are lots of viruses floating around causing me to crash, but I haven't seen that worsening this year. I also believe the Imunovir has helped me to feel more energetic. I feel more physically and mentally alert now and only have that no-energy, no-motivation, can't-think-clearly feeling on rare bad crash days.
I also believe that Imunovir may have helped me to finally get rid of the Lyme disease I've been fighting for the past three years. With our reduced response to infections, people with CFS tend to have a very difficult time getting rid of Lyme disease and its co-infections completely. I don't know for sure yet whether I am truly rid of Lyme (see my earlier post), but I am off my Lyme meds for the first time in years and so far, so good.
So, I plan to continue to take Immunovir and also want to try it for my son, Jamie, who - as most of you know - has been struggling horribly with his Lyme treatment this past year.
One way to quantitatively measure the health of our immune systems is by measuring Natural Killer Cell function, which is typically low in people with CFS, due to that Th1-Th2 imbalance. I just realized I haven't had mine tested recently, so I will ask my doctor to check mine (which has been historically low) the next time I see her.
Once again, please remember that I am not a medical professional, and the information presented here is just a summary of my own experience and the understanding I have gained from reading research. If I have made any technical mistakes here, please let me know, and, as always, talk to your own doctor about your own unique circumstances.
(NOTE: In an earlier version of this post, I had misspelled Imunovir as Immunovir. I am including this note in the hopes that a search engine will still find this post, despite my mistake).

Hi, I stumbled upon your blog through Joanne's "Looking at Lyme Disease" Blog.ReplyDelete
What's the story behind Immunovir? Why is it a political issue to not be able to get it in the US?
I've been thinking about something ever since I read the studies on rituximab on CFS/ME patients in Norway and wondered if that drug would help Lyme disease patients with persisting symptoms. Here you're taking Immunovir, and it seems to have similar effects as rituximab.
What are the risks of taking it as you do? Side effects other than insomnia?
I am wondering if it would help me and others. Why haven't they tried a clinical trial for this for CFS/ME patients? Or has someone, and I just hadn't read about it?
Thank you for sharing your story. I hope you and your son steadily improve.

I don't know the story behind why Immunovir has not been officially approved by the FDA - I don't generally pay much attention to those types of political issues because I have very limited energy and I'd rather focus on healing. It doesn't really matter since it can be easily (and legally) obtained through non-US sources.
Rituximab is an entirely different drug, a chemotherapy drug that attacks part of the immune system and has significant side effects and risks. I am looking forward to more follow-up research on Rituximab, but I wouldn't lump it into the same category as Immunovir.
I've experienced only very mild side effects with Immunovir, as explained in this post, and they were easily addressed simply by adjusting my dose. I don't believe there are any hazards or risks associated with it.
There have been some limited research studies on Immunovir in people with ME/CFS, but like all CFS research, it has been limited by a lack of funding. This link includes mention of an Immunovir trial (note that this article is from 2001, so some of the information is a bit outdated):
Here's a brief article on using Immunovir for CFS. It references studies but not specifically (note isoprinosine is the generic term for the brand name Immunovir):
Here's another brief article that summarizes research on Immunovir for CFS:
Hope that helps answer some of your questions.

Fantastic Sue!ReplyDelete
I literally forwarded this to my doctor, as I've really, really been considering Immunovir as of late! Thank you for your wonderfully articulate and humanly-written experience and explanation!
So thrilled it's helping you (and the boys).
Answering the "politics" question…it's ALL about money and marketability/patenting. As long as we can get it; we're fortunate.
Are you also still on LDN?
Hi, Martine -ReplyDelete
Thanks for the kind words - I'm glad this was helpful to you!
Yes, I am still on LDN, and my 17 yo takes it now, too. Thanks for asking - I meant to mention it here because LDN also helps to normalize the immune system, though in a different way.
Well, Karen, your doctor is not necessarily wrong; I think it's just a slightly different way of looking at things. From what I've read, Immunovir is mainly used in Europe against viruses. It's not attacking viruses directly, like an anti-viral med, but is doing a similar job in a different way by helping to improve the immune system so it can fight the viruses itself. In fact, there are lots of healthy people with EBV (some experts say over 90% of the adult population has been exposed to EBV), but it doesn't have any effect of them. The only reason EBV is a factor for people with CFS is because our immune systems aren't working properly.ReplyDelete
Hope it helps you - let me know how it goes!
Thank you for giving me more information on Immunovir, including its side effects and links to research. I didn't intend to lump Immunovir in with rituximab in terms of them being the same kind of drug with the same mechanism - only that they seem to have similar effects on improving fatigue.
Best wishes for your continued healing,
- Anonymous1:12 AM
Do you see a CFS specialist or are you able to get these kinds of treatments from a regular doctor?Replies
My family doctor understands and treats CFS, so many of my treatments (for sleep dysfunction, for OI, etc.) come from her, but she didn't feel comfortable prescribing Immunovir from Canada.Delete
So, for the more specialized treatments like Immunovir, I see Dr. Susan Levine, an Infectious Disease doc in NYC who specializes in CFS.
- Anonymous2:36 PM
I get extremely worse fatigue while on Imunovir. I did enjoy my month off in December and felt improved after the 6 month regimen. But it was not a walk in the park. Its alot of work - at least it is for me, makes me much worse while on it. i can't think, can hardly keep eyes open. I also have low killer cell function and have had chronic ebv due to such.ReplyDeleteReplies
Wow, that's interesting that you got worse on Imunovir. odd because it has the opposite effect on me - it GIVES me energy. Did you try different doses? I do well on 4 pills a day, but 6 a day was too much for me.Delete
Have you tried low-dose naltrexone? Also helps the immune system and very good for bringing up low NK cell count.
- Anonymous1:50 PM
Hi Sue,ReplyDelete
I just came across your blog and found it very helpful! I have had cfs for 26 years and my worst issue issue is chronic swelling and pain my lymph nodes and glands and muscle pain. Did you find that Imunovir helped with that? I am going to show this article to my doctor,
The symptoms you're describing are typically caused mainly by immune system dysfunction, so Imunovir should help. It can take a bit of trial and error to find the right dose for yourself.Delete
Good luck!
- Anonymous2:36 PM
I've had CFS for 20 years and was treated by Dr Lerner (CFS clinic in Beverly Hills, MI) for 3 years with heavy doses of Valtrex (6 grams/day) and Valcyte (4 - 450mg pills/day). He has an energy index scale that put me at 4 with goal of 7.5 in 10 months. After 2 years I got to 6.5 and after 3 years still at 6.5. My primary care Dr advised me to stop the antivirals and said he doubted they would come back, so I tapered off the antivirals and within 3 months I crashed back to 4. I just started seeing a colleague of Dr Klimas (mentioned in your Jan 2012 blog) and they are starting me on low dose Naltrexone and Imunovir, as well as putting me back on the Valtrex/valcyte 3 pills each/day. So I believe the experts in the CFS field are prescribing exactly what you are recommending. I'll update you after I reach the maximum dosing level which will take 12 weeks.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks for sharing your story! Dr. Lerner is an excellent doctor - glad he was able to help you. I hope the LDN and Imunovir and antivirals work for you.Delete
Here are some additional details of what experience has taught us on dosing of Imunovir which is very important. Also, I don;t know the current status of Imunovir but it was on long-term backorder for a long time, and we had to switch to generic inosine - sold in the US as a supplement, much cheaper than Imunovir - we saw no difference between the two at all so have stuck with the inexpensive version.
I plan to also write a new post next week on dosing of LDN, so stay tuned!

The Citizen-Centered Leadership Development Community of Practice series is a unique combination of self-paced distance learning study, robust field work, interactive class assignments and live webcast instruction designed to advance theoretic and skill-based learning leading to quality outcomes in the lives of people with disabilities.
People with disabilities represent one of the largest diversity populations in our country and in our workplaces. After over twenty years of the ADA, most leaders understand the basics around compliance. Yet, many leaders struggle with the "gray areas" of the ADA in real-life in the workplace, including questions such as:
· What can I ask job applicants about disability?
· If someone did not tell about a disability when hired, do they have a right to an accommodation if hired?
· How much leave do we need to provide as an accommodation?
· How medical information can we collect?
· Are job transfers a reasonable accommodation?
· What if I provide an accommodation and the worker is still struggling?
· What should I tell other workers about a co-worker's accommodation?
· What can I say to an employee who I believe might be struggling in a job because of a disability?
· How do I respond to an employee who I believe might have a mental illness?
· What if believe there is a safety issue involving an employee with a disability?
During this session, we will co-explore key situations and dilemmas around leading workers with disabilities. This will include hiring, disclosure, accommodation, retention, inclusion, disability inquiry and other issues. Also, we will consider recent changes in laws and policies that impact disability practices in the workplace. The interactive session will include film clip discussion, presentations, case studies and scenario analysis.
The trainer, with the assistance of a sign language interpreter, explain the effective communication rights of deaf people under the ADA and answer the questions of the deaf audience about it.
This course explores benefits and work incentives planning, the code of conduct of Benefits Practitioners and effective communication strategies using lecture, PowerPoint and written materials. This skill-building session provides opportunity for question and answer. Online polling will be used to test participant knowledge. A preparatory reading assignment will be provided and is required.
Too often, disability represents the "forgotten" diversity. Though people with disabilities represent one of the largest diversity populations in our country and in our workplaces, disability is often not meaningfully included in diversity initiatives. How is disability different? Why does disability matter in the CVS workplace? What hidden assumptions and expectations drive decisions about people with disabilities in the workplace? What are some strategies and practices to fully utilize the talents of people with disabilities in the CVS workplace? What are some emerging legal and policy issues that impact our disability practices?
In this workshop, we will co-explore emerging legal, human and practice issues around disability inclusiveness, including:
· Why should disability be included in diversity/inclusion initiatives?
· What automatic assumptions do we bring to disability? How does this impact our workplace decisions, such as hiring, development, assessment and succession?
· How many people with disabilities are in the CVS workplace?
· What about nonobvious disabilities?
· How can we interact appropriately with people with disabilities in the workplace?
· What about hiring and recruitment?
· What about coaching and performance management?
· What are accommodations? What is an accommodation request?
· What changes in the laws and regulations impact us?
· What's coming? Emerging disability issues: Veterans with disabilities, our aging workforce, emerging assistive technologies, etc.
The interactive session will include film clip discussion, presentations, case studies and scenario analysis.
This comprehensive discussion of SSAs disability standard, review and appeals process, uses PowerPoint, lecture and written materials to provide a detailed overview of the program the majority of American workers will depend upon should they become faced with a disabling medical condition. This detailed session provides opportunity for question and answer. Online polling will be used to test participant knowledge. A preparatory reading assignment will be provided and is required.
This session will review the following topics: • Quick overview of ADA • Does ADA apply to US territories? • Territorial disability law in Puerto Rico • Recent case law—Puerto Rico • Territorial disability law in the US Virgin Islands • Recent case law—Virgin Islands • Emerging trends & challenges for territorial disability law

Relaxation techniques include behavioral therapeutic approaches that differ widely in philosophy, methodology, and practice. The primary goal is usually non-directed relaxation. Most techniques share the components of repetitive focus (on a word, sound, prayer phrase, body sensation, or muscular activity), adoption of a passive attitude towards intruding thoughts, and return to the focus.
Deep and brief methods exist. Deep methods include autogenic training, progressive muscle relaxation (PMR), and meditation (although meditation is sometimes distinguished from relaxation based on the state of "thoughtless awareness" that is said to occur during meditation). Brief methods include self-control relaxation, paced respiration, and deep breathing. Brief methods generally require less time and often represent an abbreviated form of a deep method. Other relaxation techniques include guided imagery, deep breathing/breathing control, passive muscle relaxation, and refocusing. Applied relaxation involves imagination of relaxing situations with the intention of inducing muscular and mental relaxation. Another popular technique is progressive relaxation, in which the individual is taught what it feels like to relax by comparing relaxation with muscle tension. Progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) is said to require several months of practice at least three times per week in order to be able to evoke the relaxation response within seconds. Relaxation technique instruction is available in many hospitals, in the community, in books, or on audiotapes/videotapes.
The term "relaxation response" was coined by Harvard professor and cardiologist Herbert Benson, MD in the early 1970s to describe the physiologic reaction that is the opposite of the stress response. The relaxation response is proposed to involve decreased arousal of the autonomic nervous system and central nervous system as well as increased parasympathetic activity characterized by lowered musculoskeletal and cardiovascular tone and altered neuroendocrine function.
Relaxation techniques may be taught by various complementary practitioners, physicians, psychotherapists, hypnotherapists, nurses, clinical psychologists, and sports therapists. There is no formal credentialing for relaxation therapies.
Clinical studies suggest that relaxation techniques may be beneficial in patients with anxiety, although these approaches do not appear to be as effective as psychotherapy. For conditions with a strong psychosomatic element, relaxation may be beneficial, although it is not clear if effects are long-term. Relaxation techniques may be used for stress management using self-regulation. There is not enough evidence to form firm conclusions about the effectiveness of relaxation for other conditions. Relaxation has also been suggested in patients after surgery to speed up recovery, require less pain medication, lower blood pressure, and reduce postoperative complications. Relaxation techniques are sometimes used by people with insomnia or other sleep disorders.
In situations of stress, there is increased activity of the sympathetic nervous system, which leads to the "fight or flight" response. Physiologic changes include increased heart rate, blood pressure, rate of breathing, blood supply to the muscles, and dilation of the pupils. It has been proposed that frequent stressful situations may lead to negative effects on health, such as high blood pressure, raised cholesterol levels, gastrointestinal distress, or depression of the immune system.
In contrast to the stress response, relaxation is characterized by reduced sympathetic nervous system tone and increased parasympathetic activity. This may include decreased metabolism, blood pressure, oxygen consumption, and heart rate, as well as a feeling of calmness. Increased brain wave slow wave activity (measured on EEG) has been reported. Alterations in the immune system may also play a role (such as changes in cytokine activity).
It has been theorized that by learning how to self-initiate the relaxation response, negative effects of chronic stress may be counter-balanced. There are some reports that states of relaxation can be achieved after several seconds with practice. Massage, deep meditative states, mind/body interactive techniques, and certain types of music and sounds have been suggested as means of establishing a state of relaxation. Rhythmic, deep, visualized, or diaphragmatic breathing may be practiced. Mental imagery, biofeedback, desensitization, cognitive restructuring, and adaptive self-statements may also be included in techniques.
Jacobson muscle relaxation or "progressive relaxation" involves flexing specific muscles, holding that position, then relaxing the muscles. This technique often involves progressing through the muscle groups of the body one at a time, beginning with the feet, spending approximately one minute on each area. Progressive relaxation may be practiced while lying down or sitting. This approach has been suggested for psychosomatic disorders, for pain relief, to ease physical tension, to relieve "inner unrest," to overcome psychosomatic disorders, and to relieve pain.
The Laura Mitchell approach involves reciprocal relaxation, moving one part of the body in the opposite direction from an area of tension, and then letting it go.
No formal credentialing or licensure exists for these relaxation techniques. Courses are offered at institutions including the National Institute for Clinical Applications of Behavioral Medicine (NICBM), the American Holistic Medical Association (AHMA), and the Center for Mind-Body Medicine (CMBM).
Evidence Table
These uses have been tested in humans or animals. Safety and effectiveness have not always been proven. Some of these conditions are potentially serious, and should be evaluated by a qualified healthcare provider.
Numerous human studies report that relaxation techniques (for example using audio tapes or group therapy) may moderately reduce anxiety, particularly in individuals without significant mental illness. Relaxation may be beneficial for phobias such as agoraphobia, panic disorder, work-related stress, and anxiety due to serious illnesses, prior to medical procedures, or during pregnancy. However, because there are many types of relaxation techniques used in studies, and many trials do not clearly describe design or results, a strong recommendation cannot be made without better human evidence.
Early research in patients with angina reports that relaxation may reduce anxiety, depression, frequency of angina episodes, need for medication, and physical limitations. Large well-designed studies are needed to confirm these results.
Preliminary studies of relaxation techniques in individuals with asthma report a significant decrease in asthma symptoms, anxiety, and depression, along with improvements in quality of life and measures of lung function. Further large trials in humans are needed to confirm these results.
Early human trials report that relaxation techniques may be helpful in reducing nausea related to cancer chemotherapy. Better quality research is necessary before a firm conclusion can be drawn.
There is promising early evidence from human trials supporting the use of relaxation to reduce symptoms of depression,
although effects appear to be short-lived. Better quality research is necessary before a firm conclusion can be drawn.
Relaxation has been reported to reduce fibromyalgia pain. However, results from other studies are conflicting, and therefore further research is needed before a clear recommendation can be made.
Preliminary evidence suggests that relaxation techniques may be helpful for the reduction of migraine headache symptoms in adults. Study of relaxation in children with headaches has yielded unclear results. Additional research is necessary before a firm conclusion can be drawn.
Early research of relaxation techniques in people who have had a heart attack suggests that fewer future heart attacks may occur when relaxation is regularly practiced. However, only a small number of patients have been studied, and better research is necessary before a firm conclusion can be reached.
Early studies suggest that progressive muscle relaxation training may benefit patients with heart failure when used as an adjunct to standard care.
Relaxation techniques have been associated with reduced pulse rate, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, lower perception of stress, and enhanced perception of health. Further research is needed to confirm these results.
Mental health and quality-of-life improvements have been seen in preliminary studies of HIV/AIDS patients. These findings suggest the need for further, well-controlled research.
Preliminary research in patients with Huntington's disease has evaluated the effects of either multisensory stimulation or relaxation activities (control) for four weeks, with unclear results. Further research is necessary before a conclusion can be drawn.
Several human trials suggest that relaxation techniques may be beneficial in people with insomnia, although effects appear to be short-lived. Research suggests that relaxation techniques may produce improvements in some aspects of sleep such as sleep latency and time awake after sleep onset. Cognitive forms of relaxation such as meditation are reported as being slightly better than somatic forms of relaxation such as progressive muscle relaxation (PMR). However, most studies in this area are not well-designed or reported. Better research is necessary before a firm conclusion can be drawn.
Early research in humans suggests that relaxation may aid in the prevention and relief of irritable bowel disease symptoms. Large, well-designed trials are needed to confirm these results.
There is promising early evidence from human trials supporting the use of relaxation techniques to reduce menopausal symptoms,
although effects appear to be short-lived. Better quality research is necessary before a firm conclusion can be drawn.
Results of randomized controlled studies of relaxation techniques for obsessive-compulsive disorder show conflicting results. Further research is needed before conclusions can be drawn.
In a randomized study of patients with osteoarthritis pain, Jacobson relaxation was reported to lower the level of subjective pain over time. The study concluded that relaxation might be effective in reducing the amount of analgesic medication taken by participants. Further well-designed research is needed to confirm these results.
Most studies of relaxation for pain, including post-operative pain and low back pain, are poor quality and report conflicting results. Better research is necessary before relaxation techniques can be recommended either alone or as an addition to other treatments for acute or chronic pain.
In a randomized clinical trial, mime therapy - including automassage, relaxation exercises, inhibition of synkinesis, coordination exercises, and emotional expression exercises - was shown to be a good treatment choice for patients with sequelae of facial paralysis.
There is early evidence that progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) training may improve physical and emotional symptoms associated with PMS. Further research is necessary before a conclusion can be drawn.
Limited preliminary research reports that muscle relaxation training may improve function and well-being in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Additional research is necessary before a conclusion can be reached.
Early research reports that relaxation with imagery may reduce relapse rates in people who successfully completed smoking cessation programs. Better study is needed in this area before a firm conclusion can be reached.
A small study showed that biofeedback assisted relaxation (BFRT) benefits patients with neurocardiogenic syncope. Further study is necessary to confirm these results.
Relaxation therapy has been associated with benefits in preliminary studies of tinnitus patients. Further research is needed to confirm these results.
Studies assessing relaxation to improve psychological well-being and "calm" in multiple types of patients have reported positive results, although the results of most trials have not been statistically significant. Although this research is suggestive, additional work is merited in this area before a firm conclusion can be drawn.
Initial research in which patients were given an advice and relaxation audiotape within 24 hours of hospital admission for a heart attack found a reduction in the number of misconceptions about heart disease, but no benefits on measured health-related outcomes.
Relaxation has been studied for post-traumatic stress disorder with no benefit seen in these patients.

Tradition / Theory
The below uses are based on tradition, scientific theories, or limited research. They often have not been thoroughly tested in humans, and safety and effectiveness have not always been proven. Some of these conditions are potentially serious, and should be evaluated by a qualified healthcare provider. There may be other proposed uses that are not listed below.
Adjustment disorder, addiction, aging, alcohol abuse, Alzheimer's disease, amnesia, anger (road rage), anti-spasm (pelvic floor spasms), arrhythmia (abnormal heart rhythm), balance, chronic fatigue syndrome, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cognitive disorders (neurogenic), communicative disorders, coronary artery disease, diabetes, drug abuse, dyspepsia, emotional distress, epilepsy, exercise performance, gastritis, gastrointestinal disorders, hemiplegia, herpes virus, high cholesterol, hyperactivity, immune system stimulation, increasing breast milk, infertility, ischemic heart disease, longevity, migraine, night eating syndrome, painful menstruation, panic disorder, Parkinson's disease, peptic ulcer disease, pregnancy, preparation for surgery, psoriasis, psychiatric disorders, quality of life, repetitive strain injuries, rosacea, sleep disorders, social phobias, temporomandibular joint disorder, tension headache (adults), upper respiratory tract infections (children), warts, wound healing.
Many complementary techniques are practiced by healthcare professionals with formal training, in accordance with the standards of national organizations. However, this is not universally the case, and adverse effects are possible. Due to limited research, in some cases only limited safety information is available.
Most relaxation techniques are non-invasive and are generally considered safe in healthy adults. Serious adverse effects have not been reported. It is theorized that anxiety may actually be increased in some individuals using relaxation techniques and that autogenic discharges (sudden, unexpected emotional experiences including pain, heart palpitations, muscle twitching, crying spells, or increased blood pressure) may occur rarely. Scientific evidence is limited in these areas. People with psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia/psychosis should avoid relaxation techniques unless recommended by their primary psychiatric healthcare provider. It is sometimes suggested by practitioners that techniques requiring inward focusing may intensify depressed mood, although scientific evidence is limited in this area.
Jacobson relaxation (flexing specific muscles, holding that position, then relaxing the muscles) should be used cautiously by people with illnesses such as heart disease, high blood pressure, or musculoskeletal injury.
Relaxation therapy is not recommended as the sole treatment approach for potentially serious medical conditions, and it should not delay the time to diagnosis or treatment with more proven techniques.

Slow Money: Bringing Money Down to Earth
Woody Tasch has thought a lot about money: what it does, how it moves, and how to connect people who have it with people who need it. He's been a venture capitalist, a treasurer and advisor to foundations, and the chairman of a network of angel investors. He even helped found a field of investing with the rather surprising name "community development venture capital."
But he found that even socially responsible investing couldn't do much to fix an economy that focused too much on extraction and consumption and too little on preservation and restoration.
In 2008, Tasch wrote Inquiries into the Nature of Slow Money: Investing as if Food, Farms, and Fertility Mattered. Soon after, he founded the Slow Money Alliance, an NGO devoted to the principles of slowing money down, reconnecting it to the Earth, and respecting carrying capacity, the commons, sense of place, and nonviolence. Tasch calls it the transition from "Making A Killing" to "Making a Living."
YES! Magazine Web Editor Brooke Jarvis spoke with him about "nurture capital," local food systems, and why we all may soon be thinking differently about money.
Brooke Jarvis: What does the Slow Money movement mean by slowing money down and bringing money back to Earth?
Woody Tasch: Three trillion dollars a day zooms around the planet in currency markets alone. Our current financial system has, by cutting money off from people and place, allowed it to start circulating at such crazy speeds and in such complexity that no one can really understand it anymore. Even the experts don't understand the consequences of what's now going on. The derivatives and sub-prime mortgage mess is just one manifestation of that.
The way we slow money down is by bringing it down to Earth: connecting it directly to the land and to places where investors live. As long as how you're investing is completely disconnected from where you live—meaning it's just dictated by distant markets, distant companies, abstract securities—then the money can kind of circulate in this wild, crazy, volatile, and ultimately destructive fashion. If you bring money back down to Earth, connecting it to the place where you live, and all the way to the land itself, then you will be slowing money down and having a healthier outcome for all concerned.
Brooke: How does Slow Money propose to bring money back down to Earth?
Woody: Members contribute financially to Slow Money, and we use that money as seed capital to build what we're referring to as the "nurture capital" industry, putting it to work via intermediaries all across the country that are connecting local investors to local food enterprises in those regions. The idea is to build a financial infrastructure around the country that would make it easy for individual investors to put their money to work supporting food in their own communities. Right now, that infrastructure doesn't exist.
Of course, developing that infrastructure depends on our ability to raise money in the manner that we've set out to do it. We've just announced a very audacious goal of trying to get a million people to sign the Slow Money principles, on our way to a million members of the Slow Money Alliance. This would be a major accomplishment, and we are taking the first steps toward that long-term goal.
Brooke: Your focus is on using "nurture capital" to develop local food systems, but do you also see this model being able to expand to fund things like worker-owned cooperatives or community lending institutions?
Woody: Absolutely. We're starting with food for a number of reasons. We're very inspired by the Slow Food movement because it's a beautiful, cultural, very positive, humanistic approach to a whole bunch of terrible problems. Biodiversity, heirloom plants, indigenous culture, community health—all are addressed very beautifully by Slow Food, and so we're very inspired by that. That's one of the reasons we're starting with food.
Another reason is soil fertility. Our food system produces relatively inexpensive and plentiful food because it extracts fertility from the soil that it took millennia to make. The World Watch Institute calls that the quiet crisis of the 21st century. We are rapidly degrading soil organic matter and topsoil. We've all started getting religion about carbon in the atmosphere, but we haven't really focused on carbon in the soil.
Food is a very important place to start, but it's obvious that once you begin thinking about money this way and begin deploying it this way, you see that it's needed in a whole bunch of other sectors of the local economy, whether it be energy, smart transportation or smart development, green housing, independent media, or community health care.
Brooke: You have been involved in foundation work, community investing, venture capitalism—many different ways of injecting money into the system. What was missing that you're hoping that Slow Money can provide?
Woody: Joseph Stieglitz, a Nobel Prize-winning economist, says that we're not fixing the structural problems of the economy because we don't know what the structural problems are. Governments of the world just threw tens of trillions of dollars of stimulus money at the economy. If you think of the economy as a big, leaky vessel, they dumped all this money in and it's going to take a long time for it to leak back out, but they didn't actually fix the vessel.
Angel investing, mission-related investing for a foundation, socially responsible investing, watching the triple bottom line—all these different things—are all steps in the right direction. Now we're moving toward what we have to invent next.
Slow Money is an effort—looking at one piece of the system, which is the food system—to begin fixing structural problems. We don't just want to invest in the next wave of organic food companies, if we know that at the end of the rainbow, they're all going to be acquired by multinational companies. We haven't really designed an alternative system or fixed the structural problem.
The good news is that there are thousands of small food entrepreneurs who aren't interested in growing companies that will become billion-dollar businesses owned by multinationals. What we're trying to do with Slow Money is to match up that emerging group of businesses with investors who share their values, and let them do what they want to do.
That means, we rely on support from our readers.

The following information is provided to help you to activate your Microsoft Office 2010 programs. For troubleshooting information, visit the Microsoft Help and Support site.
If you are using this computer at work or as part of an organization, you might be using a volume edition of Microsoft Office 2010. For information about activating by using a volume license, see Activate volume editions of Office 2010.
When you start your Office program for the first time after installation, you are prompted to enter your Product Key, if you have not already done so during Setup.
When you enter your valid Product Key, the Activation Wizard automatically runs and it gives you two choices on how to proceed:
When you activate through the Internet, your product ID (derived from the installation Product Key) is sent to Microsoft. A response (the confirmation ID) is sent back to your computer to activate your product. If you choose to activate your product through the Internet and you are not already connected, the wizard alerts you that there is no connection.
Important Activation Center numbers are not listed in this article, because there are many numbers, and the correct number for you is based on several factors. Microsoft software can be obtained under various licenses, including individual retail licenses, original equipment manufacturer (OEM) licenses, and volume licenses. Telephone numbers vary by product license and country/region. In step 2 of the Activation Wizard, use the telephone number provided to call the Microsoft Activation Center.
Telephone activation might take longer than activation through the Internet. You should be at your computer when you call, and you should have your software Product Key available.
The wizard provides one or more telephone numbers.
The customer service representative asks you for your installation ID (displayed on your screen) and other relevant information. After your installation ID is verified, you receive a confirmation ID.
Top of Page
If you don't want to activate your copy of the software when you install it, you can activate it later.
If you have a problem with your activation, contact a customer service representative by using the telephone number provided in the wizard.
Note Telephone support is not available for Trial and Subscription versions. Therefore, the wizard does not provide a telephone number for either of these versions.
Note If you click Activate Product Key again before you exit and restart your Office program, you see a message saying that This product has already been activated.
A trial version allows you to evaluate the Office 2010 for a limited amount of time, typically 30 or 60 days.
Note Some trial versions cannot be converted to the full product. In such cases, you must uninstall the trial version and install the full product separately.
Convert means you have finished evaluating a trial version and have decided to purchase the full product. You are prompted to provide a Product Key that you already have or will purchase online.
To continue to use all of the features of your product, you must activate the product. Microsoft Product Activation is a Microsoft anti-piracy technology that verifies software products are legitimately licensed.
Activation This process verifies the Product Key, which you must supply to install the product, is in use on computers permitted by the software license.
Grace period Before you enter a valid Product Key, you can run the software for 30 days, which is the grace period. During the grace period, certain features or programs may be enabled that are not included in the product you have purchased. After you enter a valid Product Key, you will see only the programs and features you have purchased.
Reduced Functionality mode After the grace period, if you have not entered a valid Product Key, the software goes into Reduced Functionality mode. In Reduced Functionality mode, your software behaves similarly to a viewer. You cannot save modifications to documents or create new documents, and functionality might be reduced. No existing files or documents are harmed in Reduced Functionality mode. After you enter your Product Key and activate your software, you will have full functionality for the programs and features you purchased.
If you are using this computer at work or as part of an organization, you might be using a volume edition of Microsoft Office 2010. For information about activating by using a volume license, see Activate volume editions of Microsoft Office.
If you are using Microsoft Office Starter 2010, the software came pre-installed on your computer. Office Starter 2010 is already activated, and there is no Product Key for you to enter.

Podiatry reviews in Vidalia
Always very easy place to deal with. Friendly staff and great care by good doctors. Have been going my whole life and have had a lot of issues treated here without any problems. They've treated more for different things, including custom orthotic molding, and surgery. Great care, personable doctors, great location. "
After consulting 2 other physicians Dr. excellent and immediately made us his priority. Both physicians kept in contact with each other to co-ordinate my husbands care . We were very lucky to have found Dr. "
Dr. Schweger has a lovely manner and I have nothing bad to say about her. My horrified displeasure came when I got the bill -- $250 for a 10-minute (or less) procedure to remove a corn, plus a 5-minute follow-up to dab on a bit more of the solution on the corn (which she told me she would have to do in the first visit -- so pretty much a forced two-visit procedure). Yes, I should have asked what the charges would be first. I just came out of "
Dr. organized. Would I see him again? You betcha! Would I recommend him to family and friends? Without hesitation!
Everything went fine. The procedure took less than 1/2 hour with a follow-up 10 minute appointment a week later. I have had no recurrence of in-grown toe nail or nail fungus.
I rate the provider as an A.
I rate the provider as an A.
As a new patient it took a couple of weeks to get the initial appointment. The office staff was friendly and efficient. The wait time to see Dr. and I will return in one month to see what progress has been made. My out of pocket expenses were very reasonable."

text: One of the greatest albums ever by studio genius David Axelrod! The album's one of Axelrod's first on his own – cut for Capitol Records at a time when he was working with some of the label's biggest selling soul acts – like Cannonball Adderley and Lou Rawls – turning their already-successful sounds into super-hit material by adding some nice funky touches, and excellent baroque production. This album lets Axelrod fully explore his talents for larger studio arrangements and complex yet soulful instrumentation. The record is subtitled "an anthology of awareness after birth, based on the 18th century poems of William Blake" – and it features incredible arrangements conducted by Don Randi, played by a host of excellent LA jazz and studio players. The overall sound is spacey and dark, with nice touches of funk, and plenty of cool instrumental passages that have been sampled over the years by hip hoppers and other producers. Titles include "London", "The Fly", "The Human Abstract", "A Divine Image", and "The Sick Rose". Reissued with the original gatefold cover and everything! © 1996-2014, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Night's Watch, p.105 wrote:You receive a +1D bonus to Fighting against enemies from cultures aside from the wildlings for the first five rounds of combat. Also your Intrigue Defense increases by +1 against such opponents.
Any opinions on whether or not this applies to the Watch?
On one hand, most of them come from cultures where female warriors are an anomaly, but on the other hand, they'd be pretty used to fighting wildlings, and thus, spearwives.
Also, what about Dornishmen, or, to a lesser extent, Ironborn? Those two cultures have female warriors at the highest levels of social standing within the timespan of the novels.
