The Tuina Treatment of Tennis Elbow
By Bob Flaws, LAc, FNAAOM (USA), FRCHM (UK)
In 1982, I was studying acupuncture at the Shanghai College of Chinese Medicine and working as an intern in the acupuncture department at the Long Hua Chinese Medical Hospital. Sometimes, during the heat of the summer, there were not that many patients to see in the acupuncture ward, so I would wander through the hospital to see what else I might learn.As a graduate of what was then the Boulder School of Massage Therapy (BSMT), I had practiced massage for several years prior to studying acupuncture. Thus, I was immediately fascinated by what I saw when I discovered the tuina, or Chinese medical massage, ward.
The movements I witnessed were unlike anything I had learned at BSMT. I was especially enamored with the idea of specific protocols lasting 15-30 minutes for the remedial treatment of specific conditions. Therefore, I arranged to study tuina the following year and to work as a tuina intern at the Yue Yang Chinese Medical Hospital, also in Shanghai. Eighteen years later, I am still as enthusiastic about tuina as I was then.
Below is the tuina protocol I learned for the treatment of tennis elbow. It is based on the rolling school (guan fa pai) of tuina popular in Shanghai founded by my personal teacher, Ding Ji-feng.1 Dr. Ding had been practicing this method for over 50 years when he taught it to me.
Western Medicine and Tennis Elbow
Lateral epicondylitis, also called tenosynovitis (and more colloquially, tennis elbow), consists of inflammation of the tendons attached to the lateral side of the elbow at the epicondyle of the humerus. Patients with tennis elbow experience pain in the lateral aspect of the elbow, which may radiate into the forearm, and occasionally into the hand. The pain occurs with grasping activities and may be accompanied by a sense of weakness. An achy discomfort may also be present at rest or at night after activity. This inflammation may be caused by a sudden violent injury, repetitive strain or microtrauma. Tennis elbow occurs equally in men and women and is most commonly seen in patients between the ages of 35-50. Tennis elbow is found not only in tennis players, but in baseball players; swimmers; carpenters; plumbers; meat cutters; musicians; or anyone who repeats an arm motion over and over.
The Western medical diagnosis of lateral epicondylitis mainly consists of physical examination of the affected area eliciting abnormal tenderness to palpation over the lateral epicondyle. X-rays may show calcium deposits on the lateral epicondyle but are not typically required to make this diagnosis. Bone spurs only occur in 20% of tennis elbow patients. The Western medical treatment of tennis elbow mainly consists of rest, anti-inflammatory medication and the application of ice. This is supplemented by stretching and strengthening exercises; straps; wrist braces; and cortisone shots. Surgery is indicated in approximately 5% of cases when all of the above measures have failed over a course of several months and pain continues to prevent activity. The success of tennis elbow surgery is generally 85-95% excellent relief of pain.2 However, patients typically require 3-6 weeks of recuperation before returning to work, and several months before returning to sports or heavy use of the arm.
Chinese Medicine and Tennis Elbow
Chinese disease categorization: Tennis elbow is called zhou lao (elbow taxation); zhou tong (elbow pain); and shang jin (damaged sinews) in Chinese medicine.
Chinese disease causes: Taxation detriment with possible contraction of wind cold evils.
Chinese disease mechanisms: Overwork taxation causes detriment and damage to the sinews and vessels of the elbow. On the one hand, there is insufficient blood to nourish the sinews; on the other hand, there is blood stasis obstructing the free flow of the vessels. This may be complicated by external contraction of wind cold evils due to defensive qi vacuity.
Treatment principles: Soothe the sinews and free the flow of the network vessels; quicken the blood and transform stasis; regulate the qi in the channels and vessels.
Treatment Method
Other adjunctive measures may include the use of moxibustion locally on the elbow (either indirect, roll moxa or direct, non-scarring, "grain of rice" or thread moxa), or warming with a TDP heat lamp.3 Internal administration of Chinese medicinals based on the patient's individual pattern discrimination is also quite helpful.4
To get a satisfactory result with tennis elbow, the patient needs to refrain from all activities, be they work or play, that aggravate the condition. Until or unless the patient is willing to allow the inflammation of their lateral epicondyle to heal, no amount of tuina or Chinese medicinals is going to get a satisfactory effect. If the cause of this inflammation is work-related, the patient should be advised to modify their equipment or work habits. This may mean using a lighter hammer or tennis racket or seeking professional advice from an ergonomic specialist or kinesiologist.
While ice is indicated within Chinese medicine for recent traumatic injuries and acute inflammations with redness, swelling and palpable heat, it is usually contraindicated for tennis elbow. Even though Western medicine defines lateral epicondylitis as a species of inflammation, it does not usually present heat signs and symptoms according to Chinese pattern discrimination. In fact, given the common age range of patients with tennis elbow and its Chinese name, elbow taxation, this condition is usually a vacuity condition complicated by cold and/or blood stasis, all of which may be worsened by the application of cold. This is why the external application of warmth is usually so important for the treatment of this condition.
In my experience, both in China and the U.S., tuina is definitely an effective therapy for the remedial treatment of tennis elbow.

The recent Dean Ambrose vs. The Undertaker match on SmackDown is confirmed to be Taker's last scheduled appearance for the time being. WWE left it open to where Taker could come back and confront The Shield later. The Undertaker came out of these recent matches in much better shape than he has in the past few years. Going into WrestleMania 29, Taker rested more, changed his diet and tried new workout routines. Taker also worked a smarter match with CM Punk. It's said that he had the mindset of his matches with Triple H were going to be some of his last but going into the Punk match, he just wanted to give the fans a good match but not destroy himself.

I thought of the game frequently earlier in the day and then completely forgot to listen when it was actually on. Grrr.
I'm glad to hear that Ellis got the start. When I read that Rinne was going in a back to back I didn't like it. I like Rinne, but felt that it would be rough for Ellis to get pulled like he did and then not even get to play the second game of a back to back. It's good to keep both goalies competing to stay sharp.
I hope this Leggy on the wing thing lasts a long time. We just don't have enough skilled wingers to play with him and let him be a playmaker from center, and he's not the sort of center who can create his own goals. Yet our maybe less skilled but "steady" type centers can at least control the puck long enough to let him get into a scoring position. I have no idea where or how he played Sunday, but I see he did assist on the goal. I was worried that maybe from the wing we'd lose some of his defensive ability since I thought he'd tend to be deeper in the zone before we lost the puck, but instead it seems to have energized him and he still seems to be able to harass and create turnovers.

Carpe Diem!
Lifes an adventure! I try to live it up every day. I enjoy too many things to list but i love traveling, kayaking, and skiing as well as anything outdoors. I've been in almost every state but I want to one day do a 50 state trip just to say I've done it. I have a fear of heights and can't quite wrap my head around jumping out of a perfectly good airplane. But I will conquer that fear one day! I will never turn down a good farmers market or an opportunity to cook. I love to try new things. I am not a chili head but I'm working on it. I moved to the area after making a career change last year and I'm still exploring DC. NYC may be the city that never sleeps but DC is the city with endless things to do. I am looking to meet someone who is up for an adventure as much as me. Someone who likes to travel and wants to see new things. Someone who is happy to have a night out or is just as content at home on the couch. I'm easy going and laid back and know what I am looking for. I want a girl who knows what she wants too.

It was my pleasure to create large scale visual notes at the 2011 Making Sparks event for the Sprout Fund. The event is designed to stimulate thinking and discussion to prepare people to apply for grants to develop projects "That engage children ages birth to 8 through the creative use of technology and media." The theme for this round of Making Sparks: creativity.
First a series of speakers composed of experts and former grant recipients gave presentations about what makes for successful projects. Here are my visual notes from this part:
(click for a larger image)
And here are close ups of the visual notes for a few of the featured speakers.
Sarah Tambucci talked about the natural creativity of young children and how we hammer the creativity out of them as they get older. She pointed to several of her efforts to encourage the continued creativity of young people as they get older.
Drew Davidson, director of Carnegie Mellon University's Entertainment Technology Center talked about the power of STEAM education—science, techology, engineering, ART, and math. This adds a crucial letter "A" for art to the popular formulation of STEM education. He also talked about the importance of building the field of technology and media education field through various means, including a new project he is involved in called workingexamples.org
Dave English and Don Orkoskey are the awesome artists behind Schmutz Company. Among other things, they teach teachers how to do stop motion animation projects. They said their Spark grant helped them partner with organizations like the Warhol Museum, Pittsburgh JCC, and the Children's museum to reach more people in the region.
Dr Alice Wilder, who was head of R&D and producer of Blue's Clues, has gone on to create a series of successful projects to help children learn and grow. These projects include Think It Ink It Publishing and Speakaboos, Which are both geared toward developing literacy for children. She shared her insights into creating projects with a strong educational core that make the most of their media and are ripe for brand extension into other media. We got to chat a bit during break and she critiqued my drawing of Blue from Blue's Clues. Great meeting you Alice!
Dave Edwards of Art Energy Design brings together art, engineering, and exploration to help children learn about mechanical concepts through building and exploring with the help of a grant from the Sprout Fund.
After the presenters gave their talks, the audience split up into groups to come up with ideas for projects to pitch to judges.
Here are the visual notes of the pitches and the feedback each proposal got.
The Sprout Fund staff closed by encouraging people to submit formal proposals for Super Spark grants within the month. Audience members were encouraged to be in touch with Sprout early and often as they prepare their proposals to get advice on creating winning pitches.
Thanks again to the Sprout Fund for tapping me to visually synthesize the ideas bouncing around the event. And now I can say I have played at Carnegie Hall (Carnegie Lecture Hall in Pittsburgh, that is, not the one in NYC).
Convivial connections:
Big fish: met Gregg Behr, director of the Grable Foundation. The Grable Foundation is a major supporter of innovation to support early childhood development in the Pittsburgh region.
Up and coming: Nina Barbuto, founder of Assemble Pittsburgh. Nina is a young architect who has founded a community space in Garfield/Friendship called Assemble "… a place where one can engage their intrigue through hands on activities about art and technology." Assemble is right around the corner from where I live, so I will be over there often.

5 Amazing Outdoor Showers
In the master bedroom of a colorful California cottage designed by Stephen Shubel, the small-scale pattern of C&C Milano's Gentleman Pied de Poule on a pair of Wisteria X-base stools plays against the bold blue-and-white stripe on Restoration Hardware's Directoire bed.
In an 1850s guesthouse in Texas, Ginger Barber stained the floor chocolate brown and white. "We did it for fun," she says. "We used porch stain to get that on-and-off paint look — imperfect. The shade's a little irregular so the age and patina come through."

Vintage Case Stainless
Murphy Knives (Ayerton MA) Carbon Steel... needs care, awesome blade for >$30
Kelgin (Orvis marked) Custom... ATS34 stainless, bamboo handle
Original USA Made Schrade Steelhead. Stainless... cleaned hundreds of fish with this one. My go to FK before the internet
Helle of Norway... Stainless, spooky sharp OOB but just a little short.
My favorite, and it is a meat eating animal is a Dozier custom
D2 steel, kydex sheath...
The custom maker known for his fillet knives is Phil Wilson.
A search for Seamount Knives will find him.
I don't typically carry my fillet knife while fishing, so straight carbon steels aren't a worry for me.
Besides, if you let the carbon steel patina (turn gray like an old hammer) it is less likely to form the bad orange rust.
You can hurry that patina along with a warm vinegar soak or smear it full of mustard and let it sit a while.
Go to one of the knife or blade related websites and search for 'forced patina'
The thing about titanium is that while it won't rust, it also won't hold a super edge or hold an edge for a long time.
Live everything else, there are trade offs.
If you are going to carry the knife (wet) all the time, and clean a fish only now and then, it'd probably be OK.
If you were cleaning a bunch of fish each trip out you'd be sharpening it a lot. And washing it a lot, so regular SS or even carbon would be a better bet.
After all that
How much do you want to spend?
If the internet never came along I'd still be happy with the Schrade Steelhead.
Or one of the Rapala's mentioned above (all my friends had them)
Having said that, I still may buy one of the white handled Dexter Russells... just cuz.
I have that same Schrade. I've been using it for a long time. Also have a DR that I like quite a bit. The best fillet knife is a sharp one. I really like te handle of that Kelgin and the looks of the Helle. I like to have three knives with me, or in the truck. A bait knife, a fillet knife and a heavier 'steaking' knife. oh yeah plus the benchmade pocket knife and the Leatherman :-)

Dr. A. Al-Hayani 30/04/2003 FORENSIC TOXICOLOGY Forensic toxicology is essentially a specialty area of analytical chemistry. Toxicology is the science of adverse effects of chemicals on living organisms. In general, a toxicologist detects and identifies foreign chemicals in the body, with a particular emphasis upon toxic or hazardous substances. A descriptive toxicologist performs toxicity tests to evaluate the risk that exposure poses to humans. A mechanistic toxicologist attempts to determine how substances exert deleterious effects on living organisms. A regulatory toxicologist judges whether or not a substance has low enough risk to justify making it available to the public. A toxin is any material exerting a life threatening effect upon a living organism. Poisons are a subgroup of toxins. Toxic materials exist in many forms (gaseous, liquid, solid, animal, mineral, and vegetable), and may be ingested, inhaled, or absorbed through the skin. Poisons generally enter the body in a single massive dose, or accumulate to a massive dose over time. Toxins work in minute quantities or low levels, requiring sensitive analytical instruments for detection. Some toxins have medicinal value, but many produce irreparable damage. Some toxins have antidotes and others do not. Poisons can be combated by prompt treatment, and most organ damage (except for serious CNS injury) may be repairable. Whereas poisons are somewhat easily identifiable by their symptoms, many toxins tend to disguise or mask themselves. Here's a list of the more common poisons and their symptoms: Acids (nitric, hydrochloric, Burns around mouth, lips, nose sulphuric) Aniline (hypnotics, nitrobenzene) Skin of face and neck quite dark Arsenic (metals, mercury, copper, Severe, unexplained diarrhea etc.) Atropine (Belladonna), Pupil of eye dilated Scopolamine Bases (lye, potash, hydroxides) Burns around mouth, lips, nose Carbolic acid (or other phenol) Odor of disinfectant Carbon monoxide Skin is bright cherry red Quick death, red skin, odor of Cyanide peach Food poisoning Vomiting, abdominal pain 1 Dr. A. Al-Hayani 30/04/2003 Diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal Metallic compounds pain Nicotine Convulsion Opiates Pupil of eye contracted Oxalic acid (phosphorous) Odor of garlic Sodium fluoride Convulsion Strychnine Convulsion, dark face and neck The true incidence of poisoning in the Saudi Arabia is unknown. Many cases are voluntarily reported to poison control centers each year. Children under age 6 account for the majority of poisonings reported, but adults account for the majority of deaths by poisoning, most of which is intentional rather than accidental. The following tables show a ranking of the most frequently reported poisonings (left) compared to the most frequent deaths by poisoning (right): 1 - Household cleaning supplies 1 - Antidepressant medications 2 - Analgesics (aspirin, 2 - Analgesics (aspirin, acetaminophen) acetaminophen) 3 - Cosmetics 3 - Street drugs 4 - Cough and cold remedies 4 - Cardiovascular drugs 5 - Plant scrapes and insect bites 5 - Alcohol 6 - Pesticides 6 - Gases and fumes 7 - Topical creams and lotions 7 - Asthma therapies 8 - Hydrocarbons (gasoline, kerosene) 8 - Industrial chemicals 9 - Antimicrobacterial soaps 9 - Pesticides 10 - 10 - Household cleaning supplies Sedatives/hypnotics/antipsychotics 11 - Food poisoning 11 - Anticonvulsant medications 12 - Alcohol 12 - Food, plants, and insects Paracelsus (1493-1541) once said "All substances are poisons; there is none which is not a poison. The right dose differentiates a poison and a remedy." Although society wants the toxicologist to categorize all chemicals as either safe or toxic, this is not possible. It is not easy to distinguish toxic from nontoxic substances. A key principle in toxicology is the dose-response relationship. Some metabolites destroy liver cells, others brain tissue, and still others operate at the DNA level. If the concentration of toxin doesn't reach a critical level, the effects will usually be reversible. Pharmacological reactions, for example, are of this type. In order to sustain permanent brain damage, dosages must be above a standard critical level. Pathological reactions can be repaired if discovered early enough, but most liver damage occurs over a period of few 2 Dr. A. Al-Hayani 30/04/2003 .months to a decade. Genotoxic or carcinogenic effects may take 20-40 years before tumors develop. Most of the time, toxic metabolites are activated by enzymatic transformation, but a few are activated by light. This means that exposure of the skin to sunlight produces a photoallergic reaction or phototoxic reaction within 24 hours. It's important to understand that the target organ of toxicity is not the site where toxin accumulates. Lead poisoning, for example, results in an accumulation of lead in bone marrow, but the toxic effect is the creation of lesions on skin and soft tissue. Carcinogenesis is even more complicated, involving the creation of promotor electrophiles which serve to activate or potentiate the growth of latent tumors given some biological trigger or subsequent environmental attack. Different people, of course, have chemical allergies (as well as food allergies), depending upon the serology of their allergen-antigen history. In such people, toxic reactions take different forms. Other people have what are called idosyncratic reactions, which means they have certain unique genetic triggers. Furthermore, people exposed to multiple toxins can have synergistic reactions, which means that two or more toxins interact at the metabolic level to be greater or less than the effects of the individual toxins. Drugs and Drug Testing Drug overdoses and alcoholic poisonings will provide most of the work for toxicologists, hence a couple of allied subfields may be drawn upon: (1) a field inhabited by what are called Drug Recognition Experts (DRE); and (2) alcohol intoxication measurement. Both are sought-after areas of police training. The traditional field testing methods run the gambit of color to crystalline tests, and consist of a variety of names, the controversial Nalline test being the most well-known, which presumably indicates recent use of narcotics. Here's a list of some common drugs and specific tests for them: Opium Marquis test (formaldehyde/sulfuric acid) Duquenois-Levine test (vanilla/hydrochloric Marijuana acid/chloroform) Van Urk test (p-dimethylaminobenoldesone/hydrochloric LSD acid) Cocaine Scott test (cobalt thiocyanate/hydrochloric acid/chloroform) Barbiturates Dillie-Koppanyi test (cobalt acetate/isoprophylamine) Opium is a true narcotic, providing an euphoric escape from reality. It is derived from the milky secretions of the poppy bulb before flowering. In raw form, it turns dark brown and stays moist. The most common type of opiates are: Morphine -- a natural alkaloid that makes up 10% of poppy juice Paregoric -- morphine mixed with an alcohol solution Codeine -- alcoholized poppy juice crystals Heroin -- poppy juice treated with hydrochloric acid; 3x more powerful than morphine 3 Dr. A. Al-Hayani 30/04/2003 Marijuana is technically a hallucinogen but has been thrown in with narcotics since Reyna v. State 1968. It tends to make a person lethargic rather than euphoric (an effect like alcohol but without the aggression). It's active ingredient is THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) which is contained mostly in the flower tops and to a lesser extent in stems and seeds. Only one particular species (Cannabis Sativa) as opposed to other species (Cannibis Indica; Cannabis Ruderalis) contains THC, and then only the female plants, not the males, which have to be removed before pollination occurs. The average marijuana cigarette contains only 1% THC while hashish (made from ground flower tops) is 10% THC. Other hallucinogens include: Peyote -- green, mushroom-like buttons on cactus plants Psilocybin -- naturally-growing mushrooms Mescaline -- the active ingredient in peyote, synthetically produced LSD -- 400 times stronger than mescaline PCP -- animal tranquillizer Nutmeg and Jimson Weed -- other naturally-growing plants Cocaine is technically a stimulant, but has been thrown in with narcotics since too many cases to remember. It's a natural alkaloid found in coca leaves (C17 H22 CLNO4). For making what is called freebase or crack, it's melting point needs to be lowered, and this is done by releasing the hydrochloride in it (HCL) through mixing it with a sodium substance like baking soda, adding water, letting it cook slowly, and then letting it cool off. The crystal residue or pellets are called "crack" which is a widely abused drug. Other stimulants range from the least powerful (benzedrine and dexedrine) to the most powerful (methamphetamine). Barbiturates are known by the color of their tablets: Nembutal (yellow jackets); Seconal (reds); Tuinal (Christmas trees); and Amytal (blues). Steroids are another group or family of drugs, and the anabolic ones (that promote muscle growth) exist in about 80 different varieties. 4 4

Obama's flawed tax compromise is just the latest result of the Democrats' failure to clearly explain their vision for this country's economic future.
Educating Americans about this administration's healthcare successes is easier than Obama thinks.
For Kim and Reed, Obama's caving to Republican pressure on extending tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans was a defeat, even if it resulted in some good results for progressives. But if the Democrats are compromising their values now, how does this bode for upcoming legislative battles?
Will the tax deal result in Keynes-style stimulus? Washington Editor Christopher Hayes and Tyler Cowen, an economics professor at George Mason University, break down Keynesianism and what it says about Obama's tax cuts deal.
The Nation's Sasha Abramsky and Obama's Drug Czar, Gil Kerlikowske, speak at length about the administration's drug reform agenda.
On October 1, just one month before Californians voted on Proposition 19, Sasha Abramsky spoke by phone with Gil Kerlikowske, director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy, about prospects for drug reform in America.
The administration is promoting failed law enforcement programs as economic stimulus.
Obama got the Republicans to agree to an extension of unemployment insurance and a tax credit for low-income workers. As a progressive economist, I'm defending his deal.
For Berman, Obama's grassroots victory in 2008 built heavily on the fifty-state electoral strategy which Howard Dean pursued as DNC chairman. But in a political climate far different than the one that brought Obama to power, how can the Democrats harness this enthusiasm once again?
Obama's mistakes in office are nowhere near the whole story. The rest of us must shoulder our share of the blame, too.

Customer Services Representative Interview
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks – interviewed at SMART Technologies (Calgary, AB (Canada)) in April 2009.
Applied online for the position I was considering. Did not hear anything for a while. Then received an email from the hiring manager that I was in consideration for the position. She asked me to answer a few questions about salary expectations, customer service experience, and a few others. I replied to her questions. Five minutes after emailing the answers to her I received a phone call to come in for an interview. We set up a time and came in for a formal interview. I had an interview with the manager of the department and the team lead. They did a one on one with me about my background, how I would respond to situations, basic interview questions. Told me they would be in touch. Got a call from the team lead for references after my interview. I provided them for the team lead and they mentioned they would be in touch. A week later I was called and told I had the job if I wanted it and they proceeded to courier out their offer to me.
During the interview, everyone was very professional, friendly, organized and knew what they wanted in their jobs. It seemed that everyone was excited about what was going on at SMART and the growth that they were experiencing and happy to work there.

Cong 2014 plan: Rahul to lead, Sonia patron

In an apparent suggestion that Congress president Sonia Gandhi may reduce active involvement in organisational affairs ahead of the next general elections, the party said on Monday that Rahul Gandhi will "lead the UPA's campaign" in 2014, while Sonia will play the role of a "patron" and "supreme leader".
Asked about reported remarks by the Congress president's political secretary, Ahmed Patel, that Rahul will lead the campaign in 2014, party spokesperson P C Chacko confirmed the same, adding that the general secretary will take up an important responsibility in the party "very soon". Asked what role Sonia will play, Chacko said: "She is the president now. She will be the patron. She will be the supreme leader of the party."
To a question on whether Rahul would be projected as the prime ministerial candidate, he said that will be decided after the elections. As for PM Manmohan Singh, Chacko said, "This has no relation. The government will continue till 2014. He is the Prime Minister till 2014." Last month, Rahul was made head of the Congress election coordination committee for the 2014 polls.
The Congress also justified Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde's statement complimenting the party for the appointment of Asif Ibrahim as Intelligence Bureau (IB) chief. Addressing an election meeting in Gujarat on Sunday, Shinde had said: "I am a Dalit and the Congress has made me a minister. Similarly, the Congress has made a person whose name is Ibrahim the chief of IB."
Chacko said: "It's the party which takes decisions that the government implements. (Sonia) Gandhi gives directions to the government. There is nothing wrong in complimenting her (for Ibrahim's appointment)."
Rahul will be in Gujarat on Tuesday, addressing three public meetings.

The National Civil War MuseumRead MorePeople tend to walk slowly through The National Civil War Museum—both out of respect for the fallen soldiers and sheer awe at how much there is to see. The institution strives to cover the events before, during, and after the war without bias to either the Union or Confederate cause. Size: with 21,000 historic documents and 4,400 artifacts rotating in and out of exhibits on two floors, the museum recommends reserving 2 to 4 hours for a visit Eye Catcher: Moment of Mercy—a statue outside the museum that depicts Richard Kirkland, a confederate sergeant who gave water to wounded Union troops Permanent Mainstay: Weapons & Equipment, a collection of rifles and uniforms from both sides of the Mason Dixon Temporary Exhibit: 1864—the first of four special exhibits to cover specific years of the war and part of the museum's lead up to the Civil War's 150th anniversary Don't Miss: a giant, interactive video wall, where President Abraham Lincoln answers questions about anything except his hat Leave Your Mark: descendants of Civil War veterans can purchase memorial bricks that add their relatives' names to the museum's Walk of ValorOne Lincoln CircleHarrisburg, PA US
The State Museum of PennsylvaniaRead MoreFeatured on Central PA magazine?s 2010 Hot List for Best Leisure Options, The State Museum lays out a telescopic view of the Commonwealth's history throughout its four-story building. Visitors are welcomed by the colossal figure of William Penn, flash-frozen in bronze and captured in his life-like 18-foot majesty. The statue stands flanked by cunning facsimiles of a Pennsylvania past and backed by the museum's featured exhibit, currently Wood on Glass, a photographic history and lecture series on the lumber industry. The second floor recreates a Native American village and unrolls the carpet of history from the Civil War through the Industrial Revolution and beyond. The final level delves thousands of years into the past when the eons-old Marshalls Creek Mastodon lumbered across the Pennsylvanian plains and starred in two MTV reality shows?see the 12,000-year-old, 20-foot skeleton when its exhibit opens on Sunday, February 27.300 North StHarrisburg, PA US
The Hershey StoryRead MoreMilton S. Hershey, founder of the Hershey chocolate dynasty, gave the world more than just his signature bars of sweet, rich chocolate. He also built the town of Hershey, Pennsylvania, and laid the foundations for its future, providing public education for residents and preserving collections of Native American and Pennsylvania German artifacts. Visitors to The Hershey Story Museum learn about Hershey's entire legacy, perusing exhibits such as Failures to Fortunes, which details his impoverished childhood and later success, and Sweet Innovations, which showcases his creative chocolate-making practices, such as his unique approach to milk chocolate.63 W Chocolate Ave.Hershey, PA US
Antique Auto Museum at HersheyRead MoreStrolling across the Antique Automobile Club of America (AACA) Museum is like walking a giant timeline from the late 1800s to the 1970s. This affiliate of the Smithsonian Institution, however, interprets history through a very specific lens: classic motor vehicles, expertly preserved and presented from different eras. Size: more than 150 donated vehicles, with 85–100 on display at any given time Oldest Gem: the 1895 Chicago Motor Benton Harbor, which could reach a heart-pumping 23 miles per hour Most Modern Vehicle: 1977 Chrysler Cordoba with fine Corinthian leather seats Hopefully Not in the Rearview Mirror: 1945 Harley Davidson Police Special, frequently used by the California Highway Patrol Special Programs: movie screenings, exotic car shows, automotive technology competitions, and more Pro Tip: Allow at least 90 minutes to explore the entire museum Hidden Gem: a charging station where electric car owners can "refuel" while exploring the museum161 Museum Dr.Hershey, PA US
National Watch & Clock MuseumRead MoreThough it opened in 1977 with a small collection of timepieces, the National Watch & Clock Museum now houses more than 12,000 items, making it the largest collection of its kind in North America. Clocks, watches, and their associated tools reside in glass cases, lorded over by the monumental Engle Clock, an 11-foot-tall, 1,049-pound marvel of clock design whose 13th toll will signify when the giant lasagna being cooked in the earth's core is done. Hands-on exhibits scattered throughout the museum give kids the chance to wonder at turning gears and learn about intriguing time concepts. Current special exhibits include Enlisting Time, a collection of personal timepieces carried by soldiers over the last 250 years, featuring watches owned by George Washington and Ian Fleming.514 Poplar St.Columbia, PA US
The Lancaster Museum of ArtRead MoreKeenly aware of Lancaster's need for a space celebrating the city's vibrant art community, a group of determined artists and citizens banded together in 1965 to found the Goethean Hall Gallery of Art, nestled amid Franklin and Marshall College. Though the art gallery has changed venues and names, the original vision of its founders—to provide visitors with the "best available art"—remains unchanged. Rechristened as the Lancaster Museum of Art (LMA), the museum now resides in the historic Grubb mansion, and boasts diverse exhibits and events for the public. The mansion's 4,000 square feet of galleries and porticos plays host to an ever-changing lineup of awe-inspiring art, as well as a permanent collection composed of paintings from a roster of Lancaster's homegrown artists, including Hugh Fitzgerald, Abby Rudisill, and Ellen Slupe. LMA also fosters an artistic dialogue with the community through numerous education programs that introduce the next generation to the ins and outs of the creative process.135 North Lime StreetLancaster, PA US

Awesome Jacket! Rated: 5/5
I stood in line to get tickets to an event for 4 hours with this Sunice ski jacket on and just a T-shirt on under it. The weather that day was 20° and winds 15-20 mph. When I buttoned the powder skirt, and drew the chords on the hood and waist line I had no problem standing outside not moving.

Sundance London Festival to Return for Third Edition
The film and music fest run by the Sundance Institute at the O2 Arena in the British capital will be back in April with an expanded filmmaker development program.
LONDON – The third edition of the Sundance London film and music festival, organized by the Sundance Institute at the O2 Arena here, will take place in the British capital in April.
It will feature an expanded filmmaker development program, organizers said in announcing their return on Monday.
The event will take place April 25-27 at the sprawling AEG-owned event venue that stages everything from rock and pop concerts to comedy tours and the ATP World Tennis finals.
The Sundance Institute and AEG Europe said the event would aim to host the same number of films and events as in previous years, while also seeing the return of the Sundance London short film competition and a shorts workshop.
Sundance Film Festival director John Cooper said: "In keeping with the event's purpose of celebrating independent artists, the short film competition and workshop allow us to tap into the vibrant artistic community in the U.K. and connect that work with audiences at the festival."
The competition invites U.K.-based filmmakers to enter original films between three and five minutes in length relating to the theme of "Making a go of it," meaning "stories about moving forward in life, love or loss and the pursuit of inspiration."
Submissions can be in any genre or format, including documentary, animation, live-action, comedy and drama.
There also will be a shorts workshop, led by Mike Plante, short film programmer for the Sundance Film Festival, for aspiring filmmakers, mirroring the events the Sundance Institute hosts in cities across the U.S.

Sony Ericsson XPERIA ray Review
The XPERIA ray is easily the smallest smartphone I've ever had the opportunity to lay hands on, and while it may seem at first to be tiny in stature, it packs an oddly enticing set of punches. Head back to our XPERIA ray hands-on and unboxing post to get all the specification details on the device, then come back and get the most important bits: 3.3-inch TFT LCD display a 480 x 854 pixel resolution, a single-core 1GHz processor inside, a VGA video chat camera on the front, and a massively impressive 8.1-megapixel camera on the back. This tiny monster is set to carve out its own piece of the American petite smartphone pie, that's for certain.

Lady Gaga Fires Back at Madonna Over 'Born This Way' Mashup (Video)
The queen of pop blended the 2011 hit with her "Express Yourself" during a recent concert, in which she chanted, "she's not me."
Lady Gaga has been a fierce opponent of bullying these past few years, but don't expect her to take an attack lying down.
Without naming names, the pop star appeared to lash out at Madonna during a recent performance in New Zealand. In the middle of her empowering anthem "Hair," Gaga took a break to say, "It sometimes makes people feel better about themselves to put other people down or make fun of them or maybe make a mockery of their work, and that doesn't make me feel good at all. That just makes me feel like I'm not being a good human being."
PHOTOS: Madonna: Iconic Career and Life in Pictures
While kicking off her MDNA tour in Tel Aviv earlier this month, Madge made headlines for performing a mashup of Gaga's "Born This Way" – which she once referred to as "reductive" – and her 1989 hit "Express Yourself." She bookended the performance with the chant: "She's not me."
Speaking to her fans during Thursday's show, Gaga opted for another passive-aggressive move.
"I don't even want to fight back because it's more important to me to keep writing music," she said. "When I look into your eyes every night, I don't see a fan base that wants me to fight or bite or be shady and cunty the way that we all used to be. It's OK. It's fun, right? But at the end of the day we're in a new place in society now."
VIDEO: Madonna Covers Lady Gaga's 'Born This Way'
"Things are really different now than they were 25 years ago and that's what makes 'Born This Way' so relevant for me, is that I really want you all to notice this tremendous place that we're in right now," she added. "We're just socially in a completely different place and it's OK, we don't all have to slice and hate each other anymore."
Hear Gaga's complete rant in the video below, which begins right around the 2:30 mark.

Rated 5 out of 5 by smart73 Above and Beyond Let me start by saying, both the resort and SPG are Awesome! They went beyond for my family to correct a reservation error. I truly can't put into words how much we enjoyed and enjoy this property , we stay here all the time. Pool area is great for kids with activities, the restaurant has great food, and the bar makes great drinks. But front desk is who I want to thank, Lisa went out of her way for our family. Thank You, The Smart Family September 2, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by Jimmy259 Needs Improvement The lobby looks nice; the hallways and rooms are shabby and worn. I may have missed it somewhere in the paperwork...definately not told when I booked that I had to pay $10.00 to park my car in their lot (self park...NOT valet). I had to park on the other side of the building because it was being repaved on top of the charge. I'm glad I only stayed for one night....I will not return. September 2, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by JustRelax1 Trouble sleeping, Lots of road traffic in area This is a hotel that locals call the Safari. I guess this is a hotel that has been rebranded too many times. Road noise is impossible to get a solid night sleep. The pillows are too too soft. the bathroom configuration is weird. September 2, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by WolfReview Miami Style: Renovated Resort Remade Much more Miami than Orlando now that the hotel has been renovated into a "resort." Very close to Disney. Nice restaurant and excellent food with great service-- though it was really large and not many of the touristy families seemed to be eating there. The hotel is walking distance to lots of restaurants. I would agree with some of the other posts who complained about some of the "fees" like the resort fee which does not include internet access (how much can free wifi set the hotel back???) and $10 to park is crazy, and the "no late checkouts" for SPG members-- that's got to be a sore point to others who have shown loyalty to the brand. We did stay at this hotel twice-- so we did really like the pool and bar-- the bartenders were really great-- and the food at the bar was very reasonably priced. The front desk staff was a bit less than friendly-- quite surprisingly. But this has more to do with management than with the employees as they seemed to be nice people, but were unaware of the fact they were being rude to the guests. They do have a really nice fitness center and coffee bar. And there's a Dunkin Donuts / Baskin Robbins across the street. Definitely ask for a pool view room. It was much better than the street view (which was too bright and noisy). I can overlook the shortcoming to see that this is/will be a great hotel if they can get it together-- and I had a great stay. The restaurant staff and bartenders were great. Each room was a good size and clean. The pool view room was a better experience and would recommend the upgrade-- and would have appreciated a switch at checkin but none was offered. And the location so close to Disney was a benefit. August 31, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Casey A+ for everything! . Everyone we met from the time we pulled up to registration had a smile on their face. The check in person was most gracious and accommodating. Our room was spotless and we never had a better night sleep. The hotel location was perfect with lots of food choices nearby. Would definitely stay there again. August 31, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by LAYLAY Enjoyable I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I had a lot of bags plus my 6 year old who was very hyper, so I was so relieved when the valet brought my bags upstairs while I parked the car. The only issue was the construction going on in the parking garage. It made the walk to my room very long and I could hear workers outside my room so the stay wasn't too peaceful. But I did get a good night sleep after they left. I loved the pool side restaurant. My daughter and I ate there after our long swim and the food was delicious. The pool was fun and the room was very clean. I enjoyed my stay overall. August 30, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by hs2971 Excellent Location, Great Service, Great Staffs I was not expecting much because I was staying just one night. But, the location was excellent, close to Downtown Diseny, shopping malls, good restaurant, etc. Most of all, all the staffs were very friendly and nice. Great place to stay. August 28, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by tomrossi77 Great get-away! Really enjoyed this hotel! Excellent pool, excellent rooms and facilities! The fact that they had games and balls scattered around the pool shows they are willing to go above and beyond to make things fun for the kids. August 28, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Elle1355 Excellent location This hotel was in a fantastic location. We couldn't believe how much was around us- shopping, convenience stores, restaurants...all walking distance. We had a great stay here. Extremely clean, great service, outside bar was very convenient, and staff was wonderful. Very friendly. Just wished we had more activities offered to adults and teens. Would stay here again in a heartbeat. August 27, 2012

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jonesey WONDERFUL FAMILY VACATION! This hotel FAR exceeded my expectations. The pools and slide entertained our kids for hours. The staff was wonderful. We were upgraded to a family suite with easy access to the pools due to our Gold status!!!! The food was wonderful. It was such a great value, and the renovations are outstanding. Our kids really say it is a nicer hotel than the next hotel we stayed at - the Grand Floridian. We will be back! August 23, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Toni This hotel is Great!!! What a great experience. The Sheraton Lake Buena Vista was a perfect start and end to vacation. A very important feature when booking a room for me is its cleanliness. And it met all expectations. The staff was wonderful, the amenities were exactly what we were expecting and the activities were great for families. I would recommend this hotel to anyone. Looking forward to the new banquet facilities! Can't wait to visit again. August 23, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Rosi12 Under Construction... staff made our stay more pleasant Although we had several inconveniences, we first arrived and there was no electricity, construction was taking part in the parking lot and our ac's, in both rooms were very poor; nevertheless the staff made it all better... great staff! Thanks! August 22, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by RegRN Disneyworld ticket scam! Our hotel room was clean and had a comfortable bed. Unfortunately the window air conditioner unit was very noisy when it was on, and it did not have the option to direct the vents in a certain direction. The pool area was absolutely stunning, it felt like a mini oasis in the middle of the city. My biggest complaint is with the hotel's theme park ticket services. I phoned the concierge to discuss purchasing Disneyworld tickets for the following day and I was told tickets could only be purchased in person at the concierge desk. My husband and I waited for over an hour in line at 9:00 at night, only to be told by Rebecca that she would sell the tickets only if we agreed to sign up for their vacation ownership seminar, which was to be held the following day. Our other option was to purchase tickets at 7:30 in the morning the day of. At no point during the earlier phone call, or while we stood in line, was this brought up. Furthermore, she could not provide us with information about shuttle times to and from the park. We complained upon check out and we were assured that one of the concierge managers would be in touch with us within the day. Seven days later, and we have yet to hear from anyone. The shuttle service to and from the theme parks, while convenient, does not offer sufficient pick up and drop off times. August 22, 2012

Rated 4 out of 5 by Luv2fly An enjoyable stay Stayed at this hotel while attending a conference at another hotel. I was able to have a ride (for fee) available every morning. The facilities are very good. Best work out gym I have ever seen at a hotel. Pool area is great. I did however have problems with the shower controls. A lever that turns completely around and produced a tiny stream of water. Called to have maintanance repair it. I later found out that you must pull the handle outwards (very hard) to get full pressure. It's a kohler fixture so not cheap just confusing. I would recommend this hotel to others since there are many restaurants nearby. August 17, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by melweb parking issue Only problem I had with this hotel was the parking situation. Friends could not come in and out with out a key, other starwood hotels do not charge them to come visit. Hotel is looking good with revamp, still alot to do, especially the elevators, August 16, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by Philparaiso Not customer focused at all Overall, a let-down: with the odd notable exception - who were great - the staff seemd incapable of taking ownership of and resolving simple issues. Also, being ushered out of the pool 15 minutes early so the staff could get away faster at the end of their shift is not on. Whilst the room was ok - 1 bathroom for 6 people is not up-to-scratch nowadays - I was really disappointed with the elevators and passageways of the part of the hotel in which we stayed August 14, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by lipigir Not a quality Sheraton hotel We were really disappointed when we pulled into the driveway of the hotel. It did not meet our expectations of what a Sheraton hotel should be. The outside of the hotel looked dingy and the lobby looked more like a cheaper hotel than a Sheraton. The room was small, but seemed clean. Until we went to the bathroom and it smelled bad, like moldy or old towels. We tried to air it out but the smell was still there the next day. The parking lot was covered with construction material. One morning, there was a random wet towel outside our balcony door. No idea how it got there. August 13, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by justoverpar Family Vacation Nice hotel, good location and great pools. Wifi service was free but poor when I compare it to other resorts I've stayed at. August 12, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by SMH05 Room Not Ready Our room was not ready until after 4pm the day of our arrival. The front desk informed us they would locate our party when our room was ready and they did not. We were told our room would not be charged for the daily resort fee due to our inconvenience, but we WERE charged. August 12, 2012

Rated 5 out of 5 by javi Excellent remodeling excellent work on the remodeling project. Big change from my last stay. My family was impressed and would like to come back. I hope you maintain the facilities or continue improving. Does not like the fact you allow dogs or pets that can cause bad odors and damage carpets. I love pets but I do not agree they belong at this newly renovated resort. August 8, 2012
