From the article: External Iliac Artery Endofibrosis and Leg Pain in Cyclists
Iliac artery endofibrosis, or arteriopathy, is an uncommon condition that most often occurs in cyclists. While rare, there is a growing body of research on this unusual condition and several treatment methods are commonly recommended. When I went through my own diagnosis and treatment, I wanted to learn more from the athletes who had been through this and surgeons who have treated the condition.
Have you had experience with endofibrosis? What treatment did you opt for? How are you doing today? Share your story, tips and advice with other readers and help spread the word about this rare and frustrating condition.
Cyclist turned triathlete
- I was Cat 2 cyclist that experienced right thigh cramping and weakness at high intensity efforts which progressed to symptoms casually pedally down the bike path. After many Doctors/specialists I was able to direct my care and had an ABI and CT scan concluding occluding of my external iliac artery. Through lots of research I decided to go to Dr Cherry in VA who performed a patch synthetic patch repair 11/08. I developed similar symptoms 5/09 and found kinking of the femoral artery when hip was flexed past 90 degrees and had another graft repair 12/09. In 6/10 I developed calf pain in the same leg and had an arterial blood clot. Recently (2012) I am unable to do the extreme efforts but have completed 2 Ironmans with little symptoms(some foot numbness). Don't give up and seek an experienced specialist.

frustrated 22 year old
- I am a 22 year old top amateur cyclist. After about six months of watching my RPE go up (particularly in my left leg) while my power numbers went down, I started researching online and came across this website. After 3 months of nagging, I finally got the ABI tests I wanted and to all my Doc's surprise, I had a drop in pressure in my right vs my left. Riding slow isn't fun for me, for me cycling and sports is about pushing yourself to new heights, and tooling around slow doesn't do anything for me. There seems to be more negative experiences in regards to surgery than positive, what are your experiences? I'm very interested to talk to anyone who has anything to say. Todd

Mystery cause of Claudication
- After a lifetime of high level sport (but neither cycling or riding) I developed symptoms of dull pain and limping, whenever I tried to do aerobic exercise with load or (it seemed) impact. My leg just stopped working. I was 40 years old. After almost exactly 10 years of referrals to neurosurgeons, muscular skeletal consultants and countless hours of physio, chiro, osteo and everything in between, I was finally referred yet another neuro surgeon who diagnosed claudication - almost always caused by vascular disease. He said he'd 'bet his house' that I didn't have vascular disease, but it appeared after a vascular CT scan that was the problem. After an angioplasty and stent to right iliac artery, I'm fixed, aged 51 BUT everyone's agreed that Endofibrosis is the most likely cause, although no-one can explain why. I hope this account prevents someone else going through 10 years of hell.

second iliac artery surgery
- I was about ten weeks out from competing in my second Ironman event when my leg went " wooden" during a 22 mile run. My local sports medicine doctors were of no help, so I went to the Ahdrews Sports Medicine Center in Birmingham, Alabama. Within two days, I was operated on by Dr. David Whitley for total occlusion of my right external iliac artery. I had a PTHE graft to bypass the occlusion and all went well. Two weeks ago or about 5 months post-op I was out running a ten mile run when my leg started feeling wooden again. One week later I was operated on again. This time they cut the graft in half to remove the new clot. They removed the old clotted artery and cut my Inguinal ligament to give the repaired graft a strighter path through my leg. Dr. Whitley and the Dr. Cherry that "Guest Pam" talked about consulted on my surgery protocal. I would like to here from anyone out there that has had the same problems. My email is email@example.com

Bilateral IAE
- I had left iliac artery occlusion and had it repaired with a patch, the symptoms came back about 4 months later. I ended up having a synthetic graft on Feb 2011. Seems to be doing good. Then I had same symptoms on the right side, had graft on July 2011. After 6 weeks of nothing, my symptoms were as bad or worse. Had an angiogram to see what the problem was. The graft was too long and at 90 degree bend the blood flow was compromised. So I have just under gone my last surgery:). To correct the length of the graft. Touch base with me if you want to know how I am doing ( email@example.com). I will take 6 weeks off of cycling and running, but will be able to swim once the incision is healed and able to walk in a few days. I have a 1/2 ironman at the beginning of May2012, so that will determine what is happening. I am very confident that the right side will be as good as the left side. I did a lot of research with many physicians. I ended up with a Dr. Kenneth Cherry at the University of Virginia. Please contact

NHS uk
- Exertional pain in one leg - can't walk or cycle uphill - have been passed around the NHS in UK for 6 years with no diagnosis (other than non-specific 'muscle imbalance' for which 'core stability' exercises didn't work). Only now am I being sent for vascular testing during/after exertion - except that the NHS has no idea which test to give me...) There are tight and/or hypertonic quads, adductors, hamstrings, iliopsoas, piriformis and a pelvic rotation/FLLD and a sciatic nerve compression (foot buzzing/numbness) - all in the painful leg - which becomes weak and in near-state of collapse during exertion. Does external iliac endofibrosis cause all that? I am fearful of being sent off on another 'red herring' loop-the-loop by the NHS. Can muscle ischemia - due to hypertonic muscle spasms - also cause a diminished pulse during/after exertion? If anybody could tell me, I'd be grateful.

EIAE - Considering surgery - need advice
- I have just bn diagnosed with EIAE in right leg when I run fast or up hills leg cramps up severely. Can't race anymore have had this for 5-6years as doctors thought it was sciatica. Really want to get it fixed surgically, but am a little scared as have heard the surgery has mixed results. Has anyone had the surgery? And was it worth it?
- —Guest Jo Burkett
- I was diagnosed with External Iliac Artery Endofibrosis finally after 6 years of searching for the solution down the wrong path with various specialsists. I eventually got put onto a vasuclar surgeon who recognised my problem. I am an elite triathlete and cylist and have been doing top level competition for 12 years. This problem started 6 years ago and i have been training with pain in the quadriceps during high intensity sessions when running or cycling. I will be having an operation soon. I would like to be in touch with athletes who have this condition just so as to get support and more of an understanding about it. Greer

Complete Occlusion of EIA
- I was an amateur competitive cyclist for years. Recurrent weakness and pain in my right leg during training would resolve itself between training rides, and only remanifest during intense workouts. The problem failed to resolve itself after a race, and after an initial diagnosis of nerve compression at L4/5, a CT scan revealed complete occlusion of the right EIA. A synthetic graft reoccluded while cycling at a high intensity 4 months post-op, and a second repair reoccluded 10 months post-op while cross-country skiing. Both reocclusions seem to correlate activity intensity.
- —Guest Rick
- I am a 48 year old female triathlete. I struggled with left calf pain running and to a lesser extent left quad pain cycling and swimming for 4 years. My ABI was 0.18. I had a patch angioplasty 8 months ago and am now cycling better than ever and running symptom free. My surgeon has reassured me risk of dilatation is not that high based on their experience with repairing traumatic injuries to the iliofemoral system.
- —Guest Jane
Recreational exerciser
- I was diagnosed in 2001 and underwent a iliac arterial graft (made out of dacron). My symptoms were leg cramps during my runs. I always seemed to push through the pain (I just thought I was dehydrated or something). About half way through my run, it would feel better. This went on for several months until all of sudden it started to be very painful. After about 5 steps of running, I was literally stopped dead in my tracks and could hardly walk. This brought me to my doctor, who immediately referred me to a vacular surgeon at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN. I had ran a marathon in 2000 and was biking more than I ever had the summer when I started having problems. But I am in no way a professional athlete. I hate races! Anyway, I have had my graft for 8 years now and still run and bike. I notice some numbness in my foot when I do a longer run or bike ride. I was told I would have to have my graft replaced some day. I'm curious to know what to expect in the future.

endofibrosis of external iliac artery
- I was a triathlete for 14 years. Final three years my right calf {running}, thigh {cycling} and groin {swimming]would cramp up. I researched and found the info on endofibrosis of the iliac artery, which was later diagnosed. I had an arterial bypass which took Seven hours, using two veins from my leg. the op was Jan 2008. I am now 45 (2009). I was told by my consultant not to ride a bike again, as narrowing of the left femoral artery was also found in the groin. Cycling could cause this to go the same way. I now run four/five times a week. My pace has slowed considerably as the artery rebuild has a reduced flow in comparison to the original before fibrosis. It is of a smaller diameter as my veins were small. Every time I run my right calf burns until it is warmed up. I could not run before op. My longest run is 1hour 45. Before op I ran 5.30min miles I now struggle to run 7.30min miles . I am hoping this will improve with perseverance(time will tell).

Angioplasy lasted 3 years
- I have been cycling since 1989 and was diagnosed with the same problem in my right leg in 2003. (Im 51,a woman)I almost stop cycling before I was diagnosed by Tim Noaks in Cape Town. After my first angioplasy it was like a miracle. I had painless cyclig for 3 years and then the problem started again.I had the same procedure done with the same amazing results. It lasted for another 3 years. Now I was told by the doctor that there is something inside the artery and this time it can't be corrected by means of an angioplasy (they have to operate) I was told by another doctor to stop cycling because of the risk of the operation.
- —Guest Franci
Long term risk for surgery
- I am a 44 year old cyclist who has suffered symptoms of EIAE in the left leg since 2005. I work in the paramedical field and thus had to self diagnose through a combination of clinical symptoms and investigative studies. Local doctors had not heard of the condition. I can cycle at a slow training pace (18-20 MPH) but suffer left leg pain and dysfunction at a pace replicating race conditions. I love competing in cycle races and was very upset when this was curtailed because of my problem. I had to decide between continuing to cycle slowly (very frustrating) or surgery (saphenous vein patch). I spoke with a number of vascular surgeons about the procedure and two professional triathletes who have had the surgery (1 success/1 failure). My mind was made up following advice from Dr Goof Schep (Netherlands). He warned about the potential for long term dilation at the operative site and strongly advised against surgery. So, at this stage it's a case of better the devil u know. Gil

Iliac Artery Angioplasy short lived
- Hi, I am a semi-competitive cyclist in Johannesburg, South Africa. About 4 years ago I experienced the typical "numbing" and lack of power in my left leg, when cycling at high heart rates and effort. This presented itself more as a fatigue in the leg than a sharp pain. I seemed I was no longer responding to training, and feeling of over training then under training became a typical cycle. I consulted a Vascular surgeon who specialized in this sort of thing and agreed to a procedure of "stretching" the artery by means of an "angioplasy balloon". I underwent the procedure under local aneasthetic, the recovery was a short 2 weeks, followed by a 2 week period of very light spinning. The result was like night and day and I had 3 year period of pain free cycling. Over the last 6 months, however, the feelings of weakness and pain are returning. I am considering having a stent put in but am a little nervous as the death of Ryan Cox, our local hero, is on everyones mind.

Treated at Stanford
- My right EIA had an ABI of .28 which is quite occluded. I had a vein patch in April of 2008 and the right leg seems to be doing well so far. I saw Dr. Jason Lee at Stanford's Vascular Clinic in Palo Alto, CA.
- —Guest Liz
The experience of a triathlete
- My experience started on 10 October 2006 when racing at the European duathlon championships I felt my left leg go 'wooden'. It passed, and I finished the race. But, the frequency and severity of the 'wooden' feelings increased. At first, only running, only at speed or up hill, but over time, all running, some cycling and occasionally swimming. I saw numerous sports doctors, physios, osteopaths to no good effect. The main diagnosis was poor core stability but the treatment manifestly didn't work as the condition got worse. Eventually, over two years after the initial problem, and after reading about external iliac endofibrosis on the internet, I was diagnosed. The entire length of my external iliac artery is blocked, quite unusual for an amateur triathlete. I am now waiting for surgery (I will have an artifical bypass). My advice: don't give up, if your problem is getting worse, don't keep seeing different physios, insist on a referral and tests to rule out vascular problems.

What's a Dragon-Slaying Story? It's a story about a time when you made something happen, something important and positive for your employer.
For the past twenty years HR departments and hiring managers have been ga-ga over Behavioral Interviewing, the worst possible approach to learning about a job-seeker's abilities. Behavioral Interviewing is an insulting practice that feeds job-seekers "Tell me about a time when…" questions, instead of just telling them what's going on in your department and asking them what they'd do to fix the problem.
Hiring managers want to know what job applicants are capable of, but they don't want to share their dirty laundry. That's stupid, because if you don't tell a job-seeker what's really going on, you're not going to be able to gauge his or her understanding of your problem and insights into resolving it.
When we call a plumber out to the house because the kid stuck his sock down the tub drain, we say "Looks like my kid stuck his sock down the tub drain." We don't call the plumber on the phone and say "So, can you tell me about a time when you got a foreign object out of a tub drain?"
We can be honest and human when we interview job-seekers, too. Some companies, though, are stuck on the 1980s Behavioral Interviewing style. Others don't ask job-seekers about their experiences apart from useless questions like 'How long have you been using Excel?" or "How many years experience do you have in Marketing?"
Years of experience don't tell us anything. Depending on the way you used Excel, for instance, you could be a Master Excel user in six months, or a novice after ten years.
I use Excel every day (against my will) and wouldn't know a macro if it punched me in the face. Who cares how long I've used Excel? I can open an Excel spreadsheet and look at it for five seconds – then I have to avert my eyes. My brain chemistry doesn't like to look at rows and columns.
You, on the other hand, may be an Excel god, and if you are, you've got to be able to get that information across in a story format. That's where Dragon-Slaying Stories come in.
The question you're asked on a job interview may be "How long have you been using Excel?" or "Tell me about a time when you used Excel." Doesn't matter which form of question you get — you can tell an awesome Dragon-Slaying Story in either case.
A Dragon-Slaying Story is simple. It has three parts. First, you explain the problem — the roadblock or issue that caused you to act. Second, you explain what you did. Third, you make it clear why your solution was the right one, by sharing the impact your fast action had on your employer's business. Here are three examples of quick Dragon-Slaying Stories that you can use in a job interview:
Dragon-Slaying Story Example One
INTERVIEWER: Have you used Excel much?
YOU: Yes, as a matter of fact I love Excel. When I started my job at Acme Explosives they used Excel to keep track of shipments and customer history, but there was no easy way for new orders to be added to a customer's history. It was a manual process. I created a nested set of Excel spreadsheets to tie a customer's entire history together. This year when we moved up to a CRM system, I created the processes to make that transition and it went perfectly. We can see any customer's 'life' with Acme in a glance!
Dragon-Slaying Story Example Two
INTERVIEWER: Tell me about a time when you taught yourself something new at work.
YOU: I used Word and Excel in college, but not much, just enough to write papers and add tables to them. When I started my job I taught myself Excel, using the "For Dummies" book and the help of a co-worker who mentored me. When our boss needed a PowerPoint presentation to show the executives what we'd been doing in National Accounts, she asked me to create the presentation, making use of data from the Excel spreadsheets we use to track our progress.

Re: seeking street names
I haven't paid attention to the name of the streets in Cavite City when I visited recently. I think the street name from Sangley Point straight to Julian Felipe Blvd, P. Burgos, Dra Salamanca, Dalahican? The four districts are San Antonio, San Roque, Caridad and Sta Cruz. From Sangley Point, turn right to M. Gregorio, and the road to the cemetery we usually call just plain Boulevard? Now you make me wonder and research for it.

Hey Mike
I am a good friend of the owner of that KTM 640 you and Jon recovered and I just got off the phone with him after he described your MOST APPRECIATED and completely unexpected efforts to get the bike back to him.
He couldn't hardly find the words to describe how pleased he was with you guys and anyone else who may have had a hand in the recovery.
Tom, the owner, and Dale, the guy who was riding the KTM and I were going to attempt the recovery on Tuesday.
Tom never imagined that anyone would have stumbled across that bike so far down the slope. He thought it was not visible from the road at all. Obviously that was NOT correct.
I am going over to Tom's tomorrow morning (Monday) and shoot a bunch of pics and video of the poor KTM for the scrapbook and to send to the very lucky and sad but mostly undamaged rider.
All he got out of it was a broken left hand, maybe a chipped/cracked left elbow and a wrenched lower back. Pretty damn good considering a drop of about 80(?) or so feet.
Again, Tom extends his most grateful appreciation to you and all others who played any part in this adventure!
I thank you as well.

I prefer the old one, sorry. I didn't see the difference at first then it hit me lol. They are both nice though but the first one is for me.
i want you to come and make over my house you have impecable taste looks gorgeous :)
Just beautiful, love it!
i love it, i need inspiration we had the builders in on monday they have ripped everything off the walls in the lounge, they doing the bedrooms next, i am soooo stressed my house is a tip!! need help!! lol i like the fact that you have been brave and covered so much wall in a lovely wallpaper. i love you wood floor too i dont know whether to have carpet or hard floor. what is on your floor?
Gosh Claire, it's been down so long (10 years or so we put it down) I don't remember the type of wood it is but I think it's mahoganyOriginally Posted by chief, post: 244316
We don't have anything on it ( no rugs or anything) The thing you have to be careful off is stiletto heals, so I don't let anyone walk on it in them although it's got lots of scratches now anyway what with being the parents of 3 boys....
With regards to the paper, I really love feature wallpaper and as long as you offset it with a neutral paint or paper, it looks really effective. Most people only do it on one wall but our room is a nice size so we can get away with 2 walls.
Once you have decided on a coulor scheme it's easy to sort out and as it's mostly painting it doesn't take long to do a room.
Lovely! But you know I am a fan of your taste and decorating style!
Oh, I've been working very long days for a little over three months now. I've not had much free time, and when I do, it's spent on running errands and catching up with my home life.
I am so not complaining though. I love the work, and the responsibility!
I've spent the last week in California for work seminars, and meetings. The hotel had no decent internet connection! Made for a long week, and frustrating too!
I miss everyone here so very much.

This lovely Vintage Danish Silver Purse Mirror was found at an estate sale in the Virgin Islands many years ago. It features an embossed scene of a steel drum band playing beneath the coconut palms on the beach, with a thatched hut in the background. The openwork handle has a rather Art Nouveau look, with its scrolling vines and leaves and a big tropical flower. It is 4 1/2" long by 2 3/4" wide,it is marked, "Made in Denmark" and appears to be silver plate with a good quality bevelled mirror. It is in excellent condition, with just normal wear that shows a golden glow on the bezel and light scratches on the mirror. This adds to it's charm, a truly lovely piece Please be sure to click on photo for an enlargement and more pictures so that you can really enjoy this great item and take a minute to check out some of our other treasures.

Union City, NJ (PRWEB) April 30, 2013
VA Loans are a unique offering of Veteran Affairs backed mortgages available to eligible US military veterans and their families. The program offers unique loans including the only 100% financing option for borrowers today. Having multiple VA loan lenders to work with and choose from, allows you and your service provider the opportunity to get the best VA Loan rate and product to meet your needs.
VA Loan Captain works with leading banks nationwide, and today has announced a formal partnership with First Federal Bank to provide VA Loans to veterans nationwide.
This partnership is significant in that First Federal Bank is a mutual bank as opposed to a traditional National Bank. The bank is community owned, and all profits are reinvested further into developing additional loan product and servicing the needs of the customer, first and foremost. This unique community ownership approach has helped many mutual banks rapidly grow into sound financial institutions. When the bank is strong, it is able to offer it's clients very competitive rates through economies of scale and a customer first approach.
First Federal Bank currently holds nearly $400 million in assets and has over $50 million in capital, which is over three times the minimum capitalization required by regulators. The bank was founded in 1934 and has been offering VA Loans since 1946.
"Our bank has been helping customers be more financially successful through home ownership for nearly 80 years," says Les Peterson, Senior Vice President & Chief Lending Officer for First Federal Bank. "We are excited to build on this tradition by partnering with VA Loan Captain to help Veterans take full advantage of the home loan benefits they´ve earned."
With interest rates still at relative historical lows, and a strong VA Loan Lender platform to work with, veterans have a chance to lock in very good deals for low payment VA mortgages. Whether they are looking to buy a new home, or refinance an existing home using the VA IRRRL 'streamline' program, now is the time to take advantage of the unique offers available.

Budgeting process in Massachusetts reaches final stages
May 30, 2011
BOSTON, Massachusetts: Last Thursday the Massachusetts State Senate passed its version of the state budget for fiscal year 2012.[1]
Now, the budget moves to a conference committee where Senate and House leaders will negotiate the discrepancies between the two legislative documents.[2]
"We have completed another budget, but it has been an extremely difficult budget, and while we've acted cautiously, I know we would all like to have done more," said Therese Murray (D), Senate President.[3]
Neither chamber's budget plan increases taxes. Both use $440 million in onetime revenue to help balance the $1.9 billion spending gab.[1] Additionally, the Senate and House maintained the new provisions that will curtail unions ability to collectively bargain for health care benefits at the local level. Officials have said this will save $100 million for municipalities.[3]
After the conference committee reconciles the two document, it will head to Governor Deval Patrick's desk for signature. He will have 10 days to approve the appropriations bill.[1]

Concussion study: No more contact drills for kids
Researchers find that exposing kids to contact drills during practice does not make them any better at absorbing these hits during football games.
Fri, Jul 26, 2013 at 12:37 PM
How much tackling practice do kids really need to prepare for a football game? A new study suggests that kids really don't need all of those rough and tumble contact drills at practice to get any better. And exposing kids to that kind of contact at both practices and games, just increases their likelihood of suffering a concussion.
Football parents and coaches have long debated just how much practice kids need to protect themselves during blocks and tackles during football games. According to this study, which was conducted by researchers from the Virginia Tech-Wake Forest School of Biomedical Engineering and Sciences, the amount of contact drills that kids do at football practice does not reduce the number of head hits that kids are exposed to at games. So its authors are calling for a reduction in contact drills at football practice in youth football leagues.
Many NFL, college, and high school teams are already reducing the number of contact drills in practices. But smaller youth leagues do not always adhere to the same guidelines set by these other organizations. About 3.5 million kids between ages 6 and 13 play youth league football in the United States.
"The concern is if we don't teach kids how to hit in practice, they're going to get blown away in the games," said Stefan Duma, the director of the School of Biomedical Engineering and Sciences and one of the co-authors of the study. "This shows you can dramatically cut the amount of exposure in practice and have no more exposure during the games."
Are your kids getting ready to gear up for football season? Do you know if there are any regulations in place at your school or in your youth league regarding contact drills at practice? If not, now is a very good time to find out.

ispace1 Is The First Social Media Site To Have Taken A Completely Different Route
Ispace1 has implemented a social media route that is anything but traditional or usual. The site is adamant on taking an unusual approach by integrating different facets of networking and thereby breaking all the norms that currently exist.
(PRWEB) July 25, 2013
The site came up with something that others are not doing or even dared to try. They found a niche for themselves, something that no one thought of and that's why ispace1 has a totally unique approach unlike any other site.
The site wishes to reduce the gaps and remove the boundaries that still exist so prominently among different social media sites. The ispace1 folks are completely held back on trying to create a unified space where everyone can potentially do everything without any restrictions or limitations whatsoever.
There is a reason why they tried something totally different and others didn't. It's not because others couldn't or didn't know about it, but it's because others couldn't afford to take such a big risk that ispace1 took and potentially lose out on the market that they have already created for themselves or risk their loyal members.
The site, however, is in a position to take the risk of trying something different because they have nothing to lose and perhaps a lot of gain if it works for them. Although ispace1 has designed the site so that it can work for the masses by combining all the parts of online networking into one so that everyone can use it for almost every purpose, it's not meant for everyone and it's not applicable for every purpose.
All this can be a little hard to accept or digest, mainly because this is something totally new, but it surely is a radical change from what everyone is more used to. All new things have to face resistance and change is not easy, but once people start to see the benefits that ispace1 can bring to them, it will soon become the newly accepted norm.
It is too soon to say how things will turn out and it is hard to explain exactly how it all works and it may be even harder for someone to actually understand everything. So the best way to learn about ispace1 is by joining the site and giving it a try, one may like what they are doing, or one may not, but it is definitely worth giving it a chance.
About ispace1.com:
ispace1 i1 network is the next generation online networking platform that helps people and organizations connect and share with others. It's not just into reconnecting with old contacts but more about discovering and connecting with new ones. It combines the best of social and professional networking into one like never before. It's more than just a simple networking website. It provides an open platform where users can connect and share with each other in many different ways. It also gives users complete privacy preferences where they can control almost every part of their account.

Two scenarios for Asia in 20 years' time: PM Lee
Published on May 22, 2014 9:24 AM
What will Asia look like in 20 years? The United States will continue to be the world's top superpower, while China's economy will be three to four times larger with commensurate growth in its political and military might, and Japan will remain a force in the region to be reckoned with, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said on Thursday.
Speaking in Tokyo at the 20th International Conference on the Future of Asia, better known as the Nikkei conference after its organisers Nikkei Inc and the Japan Center for Economic Research, Mr Lee sketched out two scenarios that could arise in the region in 2034 - one positive, the other less so.
The first scenario is a peaceful Asia, he said at the conference, which was held at the Imperial Hotel with the theme of "Rising Asia: Messages for the next 20 years".
Describing such a situation, he said countries would work together "to advance shared interests, while competing peacefully with one another".

Someone who deliberately cuts off their own legs with a chainsaw don't get sympathy. So why should addicts?
I imagine someone who would do that on purpose must be suffering from some serious mental problem, or must have been blackmailed or under some kind of duress. Certainly they do deserve sympathy and help.
I imagine - hey, free chainsaw!

Maybe it was the fast paced switch up
Or the two guns in my face durin' the stick up
Maybe cause a girl I thought I trusted was who set the whole shit up
from Drake – The Resistance Lyrics on Genius
Drake begins to contemplate what has caused him to begin to act differently. His best guesses are either his sudden rise to fame before he could adjust himself to the new lifestyle, or the time he was robbed at gunpoint in 2009. Drake has revealed that he believes the robbery was set-up by a girl he was dating, so this would certainly explain his trust issues when it comes to women.

I thought it might be something nice to help me out with writing my module. You know? Something that'll help me draw up some maps, nice and quick-like, with basic graphics and ease of use, given that I have no artistic talent of my own. My hand-drawn maps looked better. Not to mention, there's no easy way to undo anything, or move objects. It's basically a stamp machine. And the terrain blending

Jagielka: Missing players are no excuse
Phil Jagielka insists Everton cannot use injuries and suspensions as an excuse for poor form over the festive period.
Marouane Fellaini will miss the next three games after headbutting Ryan Shawcross, while the club is also set to be without Victor Anichebe, Kevin Mirallas, Phil Neville and Tony Hibbert in the coming weeks.
"It's not like we have had massive squads in the past, it is par for the course that we have 16-18 senior players," Jagielka told The Liverpool Echo ahead of Everton's trip to face West Ham on Saturday.
"It will test our squad because it is always a busy time but the manager knows what he is doing and if someone needs rest then I'm sure they'll get it.
"We just have to get some much-needed points to keep us at the top of the league."
Everton are sixth after 17 games, only two points off the Champions League places.
The England international remains cautious at this stage, however, and is hoping Everton can show their typical strength in the second half of seasons once again this term.
"We don't want to be looking too far ahead - we normally have a good second half to the season but that is not a guarantee," he said.
"The manager will be nervous now because this is where our season normally starts.
"It would be nice to put two parts of the season together rather than just one."

Pimentel reaches out to Zubiri
With the senatorial elections over and done with, reelected Sen. Aquilino Pimentel III is now looking to "patch things up" with rival Juan Miguel Zubiri after their bitter quarrel during the campaign.
Pimentel also hopes to reconnect with Vice President Jejomar Binay, from whom he has been estranged following his quarrel with Zubiri.
Right after being proclaimed the eighth winner in the recent senatorial contest, Pimentel announced his plan to have lunch with Zubiri.
But three weeks after, the two gentlemen from Mindanao have yet to break bread with each other.
"It's my fault," Pimentel admitted. "I only announced it to media, then through Twitter, but never did I tell him directly of my plan… I should do it personally, either through text or call. But I should, I should," the senator said in a mixture of English and Filipino.
"Maybe next week? Next week is a good time. I'll invite (Zubiri). I will look for his number. The elders taught us to be magnanimous in victory," he said.
The rift between the two began in 2007 when Zubiri, a Bukidnon representative and candidate of the Arroyo administration's Lakas-NUCD, was proclaimed 12th-place winner in the senatorial elections that year, edging out Pimentel.
Pimentel claimed fraud, specifically in Maguindanao province where the Arroyo administration had supposedly concentrated its dagdag-bawas (vote-shaving and -padding) operations.
The Senate Electoral Tribunal eventually declared Pimentel the winner of the 2007 elections in 2011, but not before Zubiri had announced his resignation out of delicadeza, delivering an emotional privilege speech.
The cold war between the two lasted until the following year when Pimentel left the opposition United Nationalist Alliance (UNA) after one of the coalition leaders, deposed President Joseph Estrada, said Zubiri would be drafted as a senatorial candidate.
Pimentel told reporters then he would not be able to stand on the same stage as Zubiri, raise his hand and endorse his senatorial bid after what transpired between them.
With all the drama concluded, Pimentel said he remains optimistic that Zubiri would respond favorably to his invitation.
He recalled how Zubiri was quite amiable when they met by chance at the El Shaddai rally just before the May 13 election. The two had attended the rally at the invitation of El Shaddai leader Mike Velarde who endorsed their senatorial bids.
"We had a good meeting at El Shaddai the Saturday before the election. We shook hands, we were seated next to each other and we talked," Pimentel said.
The senator said Zubiri might bring along his wife, Audrey, to their planned reconciliation luncheon, while he himself would bring his campaign managers and closest supporters.
Obviously, Pimentel would not be bringing his estranged wife, Jewel, who became an issue during the campaign.
At one point, Zubiri revealed in a live television interview that Jewel had claimed that she was a battered wife.
He later took back the statement after Jewel e-mailed major media entities denying that she was a battered wife.
"I think that's all water under the bridge. The (lunch) offer stands and I will pursue the offer," Pimentel said.
He said that Zubiri had been mistakenly told that Pimentel was attacking him in the speeches he delivered during the campaign.
"(Zubiri) was misled when he… thought and said that I was attacking him in my speeches. I never mentioned him," Pimentel explained.
He explained that what he did was sing John Lennon's "Imagine," changing the lyrics to convey a warning against electoral fraud.
But wouldn't their date be awkward considering everything that has happened?
"Why should it? I have been saying for a long time that I have forgiven him, why should it be awkward? My point then was, I cannot run with him, I cannot raise his hand, I cannot endorse his candidacy. By having lunch with him, I am not doing those three things," Pimentel said.

Pearl Jam hasn't sounded as alive or engaging as they do here since at least Vitalogy, if not longer.
Pearl Jam is another straight-up collection of raw, blistered rock and moody mid-tempo balladry. The difference here, and the reason for excitement, is that the self-titled record more consistently achieves the grandeur, rage, and beauty they've always pursued, throughout its entirety.
Instead of trying to rage against the machine, they're appealing to its intellectual nature. Unfortunately, this nuance is steamrolled by the group's need for fan-friendly riffage.
If their songs occasionally resemble the power ballads that grunge supposedly outmoded, that's the price of being a truly potent classic rock band. [Jun 2006, p.109]
[It] is a lusher and less challenging listen than recent efforts, but it's also curiously featureless, the sound of a group drained of passion and fresh ideas. [Jun 2006, p.118]
As immediate and despairing as breaking news from Baghdad... Pearl Jam is also as big and brash in fuzz and backbone as Led Zeppelin's Presence. [4 May 2006, p.55]
This is a further stumble away from the glory days of 'Ten'. [29 Apr 2006, p.39]
The band gladly sacrifices fluidity for drama, and even catchy Pearl Jam tracks like "World Wide Suicide" (with its winding hook and acid lyrics) and "Parachutes" (with its charmingly odd acoustic bounce) periodically wander into the murk.
Though few of these 13 numbers have the drama of tracks by the Who or Led Zeppelin, from whom the band draw much of their style, Pearl Jam play like men on a mission.
The seriously hopped-up effort fans have been pining for since Vitalogy.
Concise, focused and even, it's a great addition to the band's increasingly rich catalog.
While it's hard to question their motives and integrity, Avocado fails to deliver the grand statement we might expect.
It's got all the elements of a great album, but it doesn't evoke the feeling of listening to the band's first three seminal albums.
Tighter and more energized than anything the band has done since Vitalogy. [Jun 2006, p.142]
And while it most certainly does fill this grunge kid with nostalgia for a simpler time, it's the first latter day Pearl Jam album that is plenty good enough to stand on its own.
Now as ever, Pearl Jam takes itself seriously. But it delivers that seriousness not with the sodden self-importance of rock superstardom, but with the craft and hunger of a band still proving itself on the spot. [1 May 2006]
The middle gets muddy, as they return to their weaker late-Nineties fare (read: "ballads"), but it's a strong album overall.
Unfashionable as they probably are, Pearl Jam have gone some way to regaining both their fire and their relevance with this, a record that takes equally from classic Neil Young stylings as it does raging, polemic punk.
Song-for-song, they haven't made an album this misstep-free since Vs.
The music is leaner and more concise than we're used to from Pearl Jam, the performances brisk, frisky and light on their feet. [30 Apr 2006]
Songs like "World Wide Suicide" and "Severed Head" even come close to recreating the hard rock thrills of the band's billion-selling debut, Ten.
It's a pleasant surprise for those who feared that the group's glory days were long gone.
The band socks away the adventurous experimentation that dogged some of its most recent records to investigate a post-September 11, war-ravaged world overflowing with urgency and significance.
