High-salt diet linked to multiple sclerosis(06/08/15)
New research has found diets high in sodium boost the risk of developing of multiple sclerosis.
Scientists with the University of Vermont in Burlington determined that salt influences immune cells that cause the disease, suggesting it may be one of the many environmental factors contributing to MS.
The findings, published in Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology's FASEB Journal, add to the growing body of evidence that suggests clear connection between certain foods interact with genetics and the human immune system to combat — or contribute to — disease.
"We hope to provide a comprehensive understanding of how and why environmental factors interact with individuals' unique genetic make up to influence autoimmune diseases such as MS," said Dimitry N. Krementsov, a researcher involved in the work from the University's Department of Medicine, Immunobiology Program.
For the study, Krementsov and colleagues fed a high-salt diet to a mice and compared them to those fed a standard diet. They then induced a disease in these mice that mimics human MS. The result showed the mice fed a high-salt diet had worse clinical signs of the disease than those consuming a regular diet.
"As is the case with other things, you need to get enough salt so your body functions properly, but not too much or things start to go haywire," said Gerald Weissmann, M.D., Editor-in-Chief of the FASEB Journal. "This report helps shed light on what can go wrong in individuals with genes that make one susceptible to autoimmune disease. It also helps us understand how much salt is just right for any given individual."

'Positive impact' of Mediterranean diet(16/06/15)
Several studies have reported that the Mediterranean diet slows cognitive decline and lowers risk of neurodegenerative conditions. While most of the research has been conducted in Mediterranean countries, consumption of the Mediterranean diet by other population groups have provided similar results.
A study on 2,000 New Yorkers who consumed the Mediterranean diet reported lower risk of Alzheimer's disease; and another study on 1,410 elderly French individuals found slower cognitive decline with higher adherence to the Mediterranean diet. Last year, a review article called the Mediterranean diet a "model" diet for the prevention of Alzheimer's disease.
While high intakes of cereals, vegetables, legumes, fruits and olive oil that make up the typical Mediterranean diet are recognised to be beneficial, a recent study found long-term consumption of a Mediterranean diet supplemented with extra virgin olive oil or nuts had a positive impact on cognitive function in an older Spanish population. Phenolic compounds present in extra virgin olive oil and nuts may be the components responsible for this positive effect on cognition, according to the investigators of the study.
In an article published in the March, 2015 issue of the journal Molecules, researchers specifically reviewed literature to explain how phenols present in extra virgin olive oil prevent neurodegenerative diseases.
According to the paper, olive oil contains about 230 chemical compounds of which carotenes and phenolic compounds are the main antioxidants. Of the phenols, hydroxytyrosol is the key phenolic compound present mainly in olives and olive products that are, in turn, the chief source of hydroxytyrosol in the Mediterranean diet.
Scientific evidence suggests that, as a potent antioxidant, hydroxytyrosol is not only effective in removing reactive oxygen species produced during oxidative stress, but it may also improve an organism's defense against oxidative stress.
Oxidative stress, which produces more reactive oxygen species than the body can detoxify, may cause damage to the DNA and body proteins, and may be the origin of neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, as well as cancer, atherosclerosis, and diabetes.
Extensive research has identified hydroxytyrosol from olive oil to possess antioxidant, antimicrobial, and antidiabetic abilities. Additionally, hydroxytyrosol may provide protection against heart diseases and play a role in preventing or slowing the growth of tumors.
Research carried out in vitro and ex vivo to determine hydroxytyrosol's role as a neuroprotective agent shows that hydroxytyrosol from olive oil protects cells from oxidative stress, improves resistance to oxidative stress, lowers incidence of brain cell death, and reduces neurotoxicity and DNA damage.
Furthermore, in some in vitro studies, hydroxytyrosol has been associated with the nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and Antioxidant Responsive Elements (ARE) neuroprotective pathways. The Nrf2 plays a positive role in regulating antioxidant response elements, which in turn regulate gene expression of several phase II detoxifying enzymes.
Supplementing the diet of mice with extra virgin olive oil and hydroxytyrosol enhanced cognitive function, and reversed oxidation, learning and memory damage. In another study, EVOO and hydroxtyrosol acted as brain antioxidants and provided protection against oxidative damage in mice with Huntington disease.
While in vitro and in vivo studies on animal models have linked hydroxytyrosol to improved health and cognition, there are very few studies on the effect of hydroxytyrosol in humans. So far, only three clinical trials on the role of hydroxytyrosol on breast cancer prevention; the effect of hydroxytyrosol supplements on multiple sclerosis; and its influence on phase II enzymes are underway.
Although more research is needed to establish the role of EVOO hydroxytyrosol in preventing neurodegenerative diseases, there is ample evidence that suggests that consuming a Mediterranean diet is beneficial for cognitive health.

Studies indicate drinking coffee 'may lower risk of MS'(27/02/15)
People who drink four to six cups of coffee a day may be less likely to get multiple sclerosis, US and Swedish researchers say.
While caffeine intake has been associated with a reduced risk of Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases, the findings of the research show the same could apply to MS.
"Our study shows coffee intake may also protect against MS, supporting the idea the drug may have protective effects for the brain," said lead author Ellen Mowry of Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.
The findings of twin US and Swedish studies compared more than 1,000 MS patients with a similar number of healthy people.
Researchers tracked how much coffee the subjects drank in the one, five and 10 years before symptoms began for those affected by MS.
After accounting for other factors such as age, sex, smoking, body mass index and sun exposure, the Swedish study found "compared to people who drank at least six cups of coffee a day during the year before symptoms appeared, those who did not drink coffee had about a 1½ times increased risk of developing MS".
Similar protective effects were seen among those who drank lots of coffee five to 10 years before symptoms appeared.
The US study found "people who didn't drink coffee were also about 1½ times more likely to develop the disease than those who drank four or more cups of coffee per day in the year before symptoms started to develop".
More research is needed to determine if caffeine has any impact on relapse or long-term disability due to MS.

Cinnamon can reduce symptoms of multiple sclerosis(25/02/15)
Oral feeding of cinnamon is capable of suppressing multiple sclerosis (MS) in mice models, according to research published in PLOS One.
Researchers from the Rush University Medical Center in Chicago examined the effects of various household spices on mice models of MS, in accordance with a $750,000 grant they were awarded by the National Institutes of Health in 2011. The mice were introduced to the model of MS, called experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE) in mice, and were randomly placed on a scale from 0 = no disease to 5 = moribund. The cinnamon was introduced as a powder in 0.5 percent methylcellulose (MC) and EAE mice were given 100 µL cinnamon mixed MC powder once daily using a needle. After an observation period of 14 days post immunisation (dpi), 5 mice per each group were anesthetized and their spinal cords were evaluated for inflammation.
Ceylon cinnamon (Cinnamonum verum), the researchers found, was much more pure than Chinese cinnamon (Cinnamonum cassia), and so it was used in the study. Both are widely available for sale in the United States, the authors commented. Cinnamon, the researchers continued, has a long history of being used medicinally, including for treatments of arthritis, coughing, hoarseness, sore throats, and the like.
Less than half (40 percent) of mice developed EAE, and the EAE mice were treated with different doses of cinnamon powder from 8 dpi. Cinnamon significantly inhibited clinical symptoms, and no decrease in disease incidence was observed at a dose of 25 mg/kg body wt/d. At an increased dose of 100 mg/kg body wt/d, there was a very significant inhibition of clinical symptoms accompanied by a reduction in disease incidence.
"These results clearly demonstrate that cinnamon can ameliorate the ongoing relapsing remitting EAE when administered either early (at the onset of acute phase) or late (at the onset of relapsing disease)," the researchers described an additional result of the study.
The blood brain barrier (BBB) and blood spinal cord barrier (BSB) were also preserved after the treatment of cinnamon in transgenic mice. The investigators used infrared dye in EAE mice and tracked its spread, noting that the dye was strongly inhibited in mice who received the cinnamon treatment. In a similar analysis, the researchers discovered that the cinnamon treatment inhibited infiltration of mononuclear cells, inflammation, and demyelination in the spinal cord of EAE mice.
"These results highlight a novel immunomodulatory role of cinnamon and suggest that this widely-used spice may be explored for therapeutic intervention in MS," the researchers concluded.
In July 2014, Rush similarly announced that cinnamon can also slow the effects of Parkinson's Disease as well, citing the effects cinnamon has on the body once it is metabolised.

People with multiple sclerosis may have lower levels of key nutrients(20/02/15)
Women with multiple sclerosis (MS) may have lower levels of important antioxidant and anti-inflammatory nutrients, such as folate from food and vitamin E, than healthy people, according to a new study released today that will be presented at the American Academy of Neurology's 67th Annual Meeting in Washington, DC, April 18 to 25, 2015.
For the study, researchers identified 27 Caucasian women with MS and compared them to 30 healthy Caucasian women between the ages of 18-60 and with body mass index of less than or equal to 30 kg/m2. Participants reported on their diet and nutrition over the previous year prior to starting vitamin D supplementation.
On average, the women who had MS had lower levels of five nutrients with antioxidant or anti-inflammatory properties: food folate, vitamin E, magnesium, lutein-zeaxanthin and quercetin. For food folate, the women with MS had average intake of 244 micrograms (mcg), while the healthy women had an average intake of 321 mcg. The recommended daily allowance is 400 mcg. For magnesium, the women with MS had average intake of 254 milligrams (mg), while the healthy women met the recommended daily allowance of 320 mg with an average of 321 mg. The women with MS also had a lower average percentage of their calories from fat than the healthy participants.
"Since MS is a chronic inflammatory disorder, having enough nutrients with anti-inflammatory properties may help prevent the disease or reduce the risk of attacks for those who already have MS," said study author Sandra D. Cassard, ScD, with John Hopkins University in Baltimore, MD. "Antioxidants are also critical to good health and help reduce the effects of other types of damage that can occur on a cellular level and contribute to neurologic diseases like MS. Whether the nutritional differences that we identified in the study are a cause of MS or a result of having it is not yet clear."
The study was supported by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS).

Obesity a factor in auto- immune diseases(11/11/14)
Autoimmune diseases like Crohn's Disease and multiple sclerosis, in which the immune system attacks its own body rather than predatory invaders, affect 5-20% of the global community. A study published recently in Autoimmunity Reviews by Prof. Yehuda Shoenfeld, the Laura Schwarz-Kipp Chair for Research of Autoimmune Diseases at Tel Aviv University's Sackler Faculty of Medicine and Head of Zabludowicz Center for Autoimmune Diseases at Chaim Sheba Medical Center, Tel Hashomer, points to the major role obesity plays in triggering and prolonging these autoimmune diseases.
According to the research, obesity leads to a breakdown of the body's protective self-tolerance, creating the optimal environment for autoimmune diseases, and generates a pro-inflammatory environment likely to worsen the disease's progression and hinder its treatment.
"We've been aware of a long list of causes of autoimmune disorders — infections, smoking, pesticides, lack of vitamins, and so forth. But in last five years, a new factor has emerged that cannot be ignored: obesity," said Prof. Shoenfeld. "According to the World Health Organization, approximately 35% of the global community is overweight or obese, and more than ten autoimmune diseases are known to be associated with increased weight. So it's critical to investigate obesity's involvement in the pathology of such diseases."
In addition to their own research, Prof. Shoenfeld and his team from Tel Hashomer hospital conducted a systematic review of 329 studies from around the world on the relationship between obesity, adipokines (compounds secreted by fat tissue and involved in numerous physiological functions, including the immune response), and immune-related conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, type-1 diabetes, psoriasis, inflammatory bowel disease, psoriatic arthritis, and Hashimoto thyroiditis.
"According to our study and the clinical and experimental data reviewed, the involvement of adipokines in the pathogenesis of these autoimmune diseases is clear," said Prof. Shoenfeld. "We were able to detail the metabolic and immunological activities of the main adipokines featured in the development and prognosis of several immune-related conditions."
Prof. Shoenfeld conducted a study on mouse populations with multiple sclerosis given a Mediterranean diet rich in unsaturated fats. He found that Vitamin D deficiency was also a result of obesity and, once corrected, alleviated paralysis and kidney deterioration associated with the disorder. It also improved the prognosis and survival of the mice.
"Modern life makes us all prone to Vitamin D deficiency," said Prof. Shoenfeld. "We live in labs, offices, and cars. When Vitamin D is secreted in fat tissue, it is not released into the body, which needs Vitamin D to function properly. Since Vitamin D supplements are very cheap and have no side effects, they are an ideal compound that should be prescribed to anyone at risk of a compromised immune system."
Prof. Shoenfeld welcomes the general trend toward personalized medicine, and believes his research can be a basis for specific therapies to treat autoimmune syndrome. "If a patient is at risk, he or she should be told to do everything in his or her power to maintain a healthy weight," he said.

Can Multiple Sclerosis be affected by diet?(25/09/14)
The first prospective population-based study of dietary patterns and risk for multiple sclerosis (MS) has found no relationship between eating a high-quality, healthy diet and a reduced risk of developing MS.
One caveat was that the study focused on current diets in adults only, and it is possible that diet in adolescence may be more important regarding risk for MS, it was noted.
"We did not find any evidence that overall dietary quality is associated with the risks of multiple sclerosis," Dalia Rotstein, MD, from Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts, concluded. "However further research is required to determine the possible role of dietary quality in the early years and in individual dietary elements."
She presented the research at MS Boston 2014, the 2014 Joint Americas and European Committees for Treatment and Research in Multiple Sclerosis (ACTRIMS/ECTRIMS) meeting.
However, other studies presented at the same session of the conference showed that patients with MS and other comorbidities have more MS disability. With this in mind, Dr Rotstein told Medscape Medical News, "We do know that healthy diet can help people in general and reduce other comorbidities, especially cardiovascular disease, so this will help MS in the long run."
Another study presented at the meeting showed no effect of a plant-based diet very low in saturated fat on MS endpoints, although numbers were small.
However, it was linked to a significant reduction in fatigue, which was correlated with improvements in body mass index and total cholesterol. This caused the researchers, led by Vijayshree Yadav, MD, Oregon Health & Science University, Portland, to conclude that "a diet very low in saturated fats may yield longer-term quality-of-life benefits and vascular health benefits in MS subjects."
"As other studies presented here have shown patients with comorbidities have worse MS outcomes, the changes we have seen in this small study are likely to translate into better MS outcomes in the long term," Dr. Yadav told Medscape Medical News.
Dr. Rotstein and colleagues evaluated the diets from 185,000 women participating in the Nurses' Health Study (NHS) 1 and 2 who were prospectively followed (from 1984 in NHS 1 and from 1991 in NHS 2) and filled in dietary pattern questionnaires every 4 years. Records also showed 480 validated incident cases of MS in the 2 NHSs.
From the dietary information, the researchers calculated scores on various different indices of healthy eating: the alternative healthy eating index, the alternative Mediterranean diet score, and the DASH diet (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension). They also used the information on the principal components of the diet to designate 2 separate diets: the Western diet (high in red meat, sugar, and refined grains) vs the Prudent diet (high in vegetables, fruit, legumes, fish, poultry, and whole grains).
They calculated baseline and mean cumulative scores for each of the above diets and investigated whether there was any relationship between these scores and the risk for MS. They used a Cox proportional hazard analysis with adjustment for known factors affecting MS risk, including age, latitude of residence at age 15, body mass index at age 18, total energy intake, and supplemental vitamin D intake.
Results found no evidence for an inverse relationship between a high-quality diet and the risk of developing MS on any of the dietary scores.
Dr. Rotstein noted that the study had many strengths, with a prospective design, participants well characterised with extensive data collection and known confounders of MS risk, and dietary scores collected at multiple different time points. But she added that dietary scores are inherently subjective.
Adolescence: A Critical Window?
On this point, she noted that obesity in adolescence has shown a strong link to an increased risk of developing MS. But studies in adults have been more mixed, and obesity in adults has not been definitely linked with an increased risk for MS.
"Our study was conducted purely in adults, with a youngest age of 25," she noted. "All we can say from our results is that there does not appear to be a direct relationship between diet quality and risk of developing MS as an adult. We cannot say anything about eating habits in adolescence and risk of MS from these data. It is possible that the adolescent years are a critical window, but our study doesn't answer that question."
She also noted that the "high-quality" diets evaluated in this study were all aimed at preventing cardiovascular disease. "It is possible that different patterns would be better for preventing immunological diseases, but we don't know that."
She added: "I have many MS patients who believe that diet may have affected them developing the disease and they feel guilty that they cannot or did not comply with a healthy diet, so these results can provide some reassurance in that regard."
Dr. Rotstein said that although a specific MS diet has not yet been found, there was a great deal of support for vitamin D. "The one nutritional factor that has been shown time and time again to be linked to MS is vitamin D deficiency. I tell all my patients to take vitamin D supplements, but other than that I think it is an open question as to whether other dietary factors affect the disease. So far there is nothing definitive to show that."
Low-Saturated-Fat Diet
The other study presented here by Dr. Yadav and colleagues, looking at a low-saturated-fat diet in MS, was inspired by the work of Dr. Roy Swank in the 1950s. Dr. Swank suggested that individuals who consumed high amounts of saturated fat were at higher risk for MS.
The study evaluated a plant-based diet very low in saturated fat known as the McDougall diet. The composition of the diet is estimated at 10% fat, 14% protein, and 76% carbohydrate, with a focus on starches such as potatoes, corn, rice, beans, oats, fruits, and vegetables. Meat, fish, and dairy are not recommended.
For the study, 61 participants were randomly assigned to this diet or to a control group. The diet group underwent dietary training in a 10-day residential program and then completed monthly food-frequency questionnaires for 1 year.
Results showed no discernible effect on the MS disease process, with no significant changes in the number of active lesions, relapse rate, or Extended Disability Status Scale scores. But the researchers say the study was probably too small and had too short a follow-up to detect such changes.
They did find, however, significant improvement in fatigue measured by an almost 50% reduction in the Modified Fatigue Impact Scale score in the diet group.
Patients in the diet group also lost an average of 20 pounds in weight and had improved cholesterol and mental health scores.
Dr. Rotstein and Dr. Yadav have disclosed no relevant financial relationships.

Could high dietary salt levels worsen multiple sclerosis symptoms?(29/08/14)
High dietary salt intake may worsen multiple sclerosis symptoms and boost the risk of further neurological deterioration, indicates a small observational study published online in the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry.
Previous research has indicated that salt may alter the autoimmune response, which is implicated in the development of multiple sclerosis (MS), but it is not clear if it has any direct effect on the course of the disease itself.
The researchers assessed the blood and urine samples of 70 people with the relapsing-remitting form of MS to check for levels of salt; a marker of inflammatory activity called creatinine; and vitamin D, low levels of which have been linked to the disease.
This group were asked to provide urine samples on three separate occasions over a period of nine months to monitor changes in dietary salt intake, and their neurological health was then tracked for two years, between 2010 and 2012.
By way of comparison, urinary salt levels were measured in a second group of 52 people with the same type of MS between June and July 2013.
Salt intake averaged just over 4 g per day in both groups, but ranged from under 2 g (low) to 2-4.8 g (moderate) to 4.8 g or more a day (high), with men tending to have a higher daily intake than women.
After taking account of influential factors, such as smoking, age, gender, length of time after diagnosis, weight, treatment and circulating vitamin D, the analysis indicated a link between levels of dietary salt and worsening symptoms.
Compared with those consuming the least salt every day, those on moderate to high intake in the first group had around three more episodes of worsening symptoms, and were almost four times as likely to have these episodes.
The researchers then looked at x-rays and scans to find out if the disease had progressed further, and once again found a link between dietary salt intake and radiological evidence of further deterioration.
Those whose dietary salt intake was high were almost 3.5 times as likely to have radiological signs of further progression.
Similar results were obtained for the comparison group.
This is an observational study, so no definitive conclusions about cause and effect can be drawn. And higher levels of salt in the urine may reflect greater disease activity rather than the other way round, the authors point out.
But high salt intake is implicated in various aspects of poor health, they say. And their findings suggest further research into whether dietary salt reduction could ease MS symptoms or slow the progression of the disease might now be warranted, they add.

In rushing to judgment blaming Iran for a bus bombing in Bulgaria, Israeli officials and neocon writers cited the conventional wisdom about Iran's authorship of a bombing in Argentina in 1994. However, the investigation of that case was deeply compromised by political pressure, recalls Gareth Porter for Lobelog.

New Israeli Leader Balks on Iran
Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has kept President Obama behind a hard-line strategy on Iran's nuclear program via lobbying pressure from Congress and Washington's neocons. But a new member of the Israeli government is complicating matters, writes Gareth Porter for Inter Press Service.
Iran Boosts Interest in Suspect Site
The U.S. press is playing up claims that Iran is "sanitizing" evidence of nuclear experiments at a military site, but experts say Iran knows nuclear residue can't be erased, suggesting the Iranians may be engaged in a negotiating ploy to boost the trade-off value of the site, reports Gareth Porter for Inter Press Service.
Bush Blocked Iran Nuke Deal
A former top Iranian negotiator says Iran offered the West a deal in 2005 that would have eliminated the possibility of Iran developing a nuclear bomb, but the plan was blocked by hardliners in George W. Bush's administration who rejected any right of Iran to process uranium, Gareth Porter reports for Inter Press Service.
Adding Hurdles for Iran to Clear
The current head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, who was essentially installed by Western powers, is adding new hurdles for Iran to clear before an agreement can be reached on its nuclear program, a standoff addressed by Gareth Porter for Inter Press Service.
Bin Laden Files Dispel Iran-Qaeda Link
To build support for "regime change" in Iran, neocon operatives and U.S. officials have tried to link al-Qaeda to Iran by exaggerating intelligence and ignoring evidence of mutual hostility, including new data in Osama bin Laden's captured files, writes Gareth Porter for Inter Press Service.
The Secret in the US-Afghan Deal
The secret of President Obama's strategic agreement with Afghan President Karzai is that U.S. Special Forces will continue raids to kill Taliban leaders who won't make peace — even as the new accord is sold to the American public as an end game to the long war, Gareth Porter reports for Inter Press Service.
Iran's Rational Strategy
Official Washington's view of Iran is that the Islamic state is dangerously irrational, requiring "crippling sanctions" to bully it into concessions over its nuclear program. But Iran's negotiating strategy is actually more thoughtful and deliberate, Gareth Porter writes for Al Jazeera.
Iran's Distrusted Fatwa Against Nukes
In a pre-Super Bowl interview, President Obama urged Iranian leaders to renounce nuclear weapons, which Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei did, labeling them a "grave sin." But Khamenei's fatwa against nukes was not new, just widely ignored by Official Washington, as Gareth Porter explains in this Inter Press Service analysis.
Iran Talks Hinge on Israeli Demand
As international talks begin over Iran's nuclear program, President Obama has put forward an Israeli demand for the dismantling of a well-protected uranium processing plant, but it's less clear whether Obama will press the point if it means killing hopes for a peaceful settlement, Gareth Porter reports for Inter Press Service.

Christmas shopping spree trip
Convenient location, near station and shopping centre.
Would allow 3 adults to share a room, which was a bonus. Excellent service by staff, although one member was abrupt- maybe due to her culture. Excellent system numbering luggage when left and checked out. Didn't eat at hotel. Would recommend to anyone and will return again.

Concert stay
Ideal location for attending a concert.Clean room and comfortable bed.There is only one minor irritation is that housekeeping knocked on the door before 930
Connected room!
This was the 2nd time we had stopped at the Malron and this time we were allocated room 613 which had an adjoining room, which was occupied.
The rooms were connected by a thin door. The room itself was on the small side and very basic in decor. All was fine until our next door neighbour decided to make phone calls back home to New Zealand in the middle of the night, obviously jet lagged and couldn't sleep. It was like he was in our room.

Booked this hotel for a group of friends.
Apart from the wrong rooms being offered which was quickly remedied when they realised we were not going to back down, great stay was had by all. Fabulous location next to the station and within easy walking distance of shops, stadium, arena, restaurants and bars. Would recommend to anyone looking for a comfy bed in Cardiff.

Excellent Service, Great Rooms, Comfy Beds, Great Views
Initially had a small problem with my booking, however the trainee manager (Daniel?) Assisted with my issue, he resolved it very promptly for me and was very considerate.
The hotel was always very well staffed and the rooms were uber clean and tidy. Showers are excellent. This is my 2nd stay in this hotel and I would stay again.

Very good service
Very poor value hotel smelt of chemicals and smoke
Ideal central Base for Business or Leisure
Great room, shame about the rude staff
Although the rudeness was not directed at myself or my party I found it shocking how some staff spoke to guests with complete disregard of anyone within earshot.
Rooms were clean and well stocked and food was plentiful and of good variety. Hotel was in perfect location for shopping, clubs/pubs/bars and close enough to walk to the docks and other local sites. Staff could do with going on a customer service course!

Simple, Strong, Practical Shelf Unit Frank from Fairport, NY on 08/16/2014 – Verified Buyer
We have two of these, one in each of our kids' rooms. I bought the first a few years ago and one just months ago, and they're identical - it's hard to find any product these days that doesn't change in a few months let alone years. These are made of very strong plywood, the shelves don't warp eve when full of books. They're easy to assemble. You can use either or both of the backing panels, or leave them off for a more open look (with no perceived reduction in rigidity). They have small casters on the bottom (I suppose you could leave these off if you wanted to) - small enough to sink into pile carpet (not a bod thing, just FYI). The corners and edges are all sanded and rounded enough to be smooth, safe, comfortable for little fingers. These are very similar to the shelf units that lots of schools use. Highly recommended.

Wrong assembly instructions. Jim from Virginia on 06/02/2014 – Verified Buyer
We had an issue with assembly in that the instructions didn't seem to match the hardware. We called into customer service (which was great by the way) and they very promptly sent us a whole new set of hardware. Come to fine out, the original hardware was correct and it was the INSTRUCTIONS that were wrong! The wrong set of instructions were delivered with the unit. Once we got that figured out and customer service was able to get a hold of the manufacturer and get us the correct set of instructions, everything was fine. It's a great shelf unit. The price was great. It's well designed and constructed. We're very happy with how it turned out and we'll definitely be back for more!

shelf wheels, long shipping. Moorea Malatt-Hicks from Seattle, WA on 09/16/2012 – Verified Buyer
Took quite a long time with shipping- maybe 2.5weeks. Shelf wheels are a little rickety. Otherwise we really like it and it wasn't too hard to put together.

Live updates: Israeli-Palestinian violence
Inside the hidden world of hostage taking
22 Jul 2011 06:30 GMT | Politics, Africa, France, Guinea
At least 38 soldiers have been arrested over an assassination attempt on president Alpha Conde of Guinea, who was nearly killed on Tuesday when his home was bombarded with rockets.
An official of the Guinean government told the AP news agency on Thursday that many of the men arrested have ties to Guinea's previous military rulers.
Conde, 73, escaped unhurt from the incident, but a member of his presidential guard was killed and two others injured as they fought off the attack for over two hours.
Two days after the attack, the United Nations said it is more determined than ever to support military reforms in Guinea.
Speaking during a visit to Conakry, the capital, Said Djinnit, the UN special representative to West Africa, said the assault on Conde's base showed "weaknesses remain in Guinea's defence and security systems" and "reinforces the UN's determination to support the country" in its military reforms.
"I saw the damage," Djinnit told the AFP news agency after a visit to Conde's home, adding that it showed the attackers "clearly intended to kill the president".
Anti-corruption measures
In an interview with French radio, Conde, the African nation's first democratically elected leader, suggested the attack may have been masterminded by rogue army officers displeased at recent anti-corruption measures.
Conde is tasked with overhauling a security apparatus which has often come under fire from rights groups for brutality, and has been at the vanguard of countless coups and attempted coups since independence from France in 1958.
Military engineer Captain Mamadou Oury Diallo, was arrested on Thursday, bringing to 38 the number of officers being held over the attack.
Another officer reported as arrested, Colonel Tidiane Camara, a friend of General Sekouba Konate, who led a transition government in 2010, said he had refused to surrender to gendarmes without an arrest warrant.
Most of those arrested are close allies of Konate and Moussa Dadis Camara, who led a military government in Guinea between 2008 and 2009.
Former army chief Nouhou Thiam, who was arrested on Tuesday, is still in custody and considered a suspect.

Great value and style Heather from West Jordan, UT on 02/05/2014 – Verified Buyer
I have looked at this bed from other sellers for about two years and finally pulled the trigger since it was cheaper here. Seems to be a well made bed, with hardwood pieces for assembly. Took about 1-1.5 hours to assemble with my husband. Instructions aren't super detailed, but it's simple enough to figure out. Our 14 mattress almost hits the second line of tufting on the headboard. So you really only see the top line with pillows, second line without. However we are getting an 8 foam mattress that will help you see more of the headboard. The fabric seems high quality and our dogs hair is easily brushed off or vacuumed off. It's a multi-colored tan weave type of fabric. The slats actually seemed to help our uncomfortable mattress feel a lot less saggy. So that was a plus. Complaint 1 is that there are about 2-3 on both side of the mattress where it's open and you can see the slats. The king mattress doesn't fit tightly to the bed. There is about 4 of space at the end of the bed where you can see the slats, if the mattress is pushed against the headboard. I will be remedying this by placing stained pine flat planks of wood in the gaps and screwing them to the bed frame. A platform as a gap filler, I guess. Complaint 2 is that they estimated delivery on a Thursday, were supposed to contact me with a 4 hour window AND give me a 30 minute phone call warning before arriving. It was randomly delivered on the Tuesday of that week at 1:30, and the email I received that day at 3:45 (two hours after the fact) said they'd be delivering between 1 and 5pm and would call with notice. So none of those things happened they way they were supposed to. Luckily my husband happened to be home because I was away. My husband said the delivery man was very nice and helpful. It came in two large boxes. Overall, a great purchase that I recommend, so long as you understand how much of the headboard you will see, and are aware that the delivery process might not be as described.

Accurate dimensions & great for our loft bedroom Rachael from Boston, MA on 11/13/2014 – Verified Buyer
We bought this bed in the Queen size / grey color. I was worried the color would actually be darker than expected, but feel it is very true to the swatch provided on site that we wanted. The headboard height is recorded accurately and what we expected in our space. You can still see a good amount of the upholstered headboard on the sides and behind our 26x26" decorative euro shams, but it's also not too tall to block sight lines in our loft bedroom. Assembly was straightforward and took 2 people about 30 minutes. When putting slats into the connectors, about 2 of the slats split because the connector was slightly concaved and I forced it without paying enough attention. But we feel it's a small concession for the great price, and after more carefully connecting them, they simply popped into the bed. I have read a few prior reviews that said they were worried about the stability of the slats, however, we have no issues thus far. Previous reviews regarding a small space between mattress and footboard we found to be true, though our duvet cover hides it fine. Overall - highly recommend for the value!

Simple, easy, wonderful bed. Adam from iowa on 03/09/2014 – Verified Buyer
We had been looking for a while, for something that would fit well with our simple, clean, modern-ish tastes. That said, translation of a great looking product online rarely translates to the actual product, and when you're talking in the several hundreds of dollars... I tend to drag my feet a bit. This one held up. So, it arrived quickly, in 2 boxes, in perfect shape. I am fairly handy and tackled the project myself... took about an hour from start to finish. It was very easy, just many parts. The slats are 13 the width of the king sized bed. They connect at plastic points along the vertical supports. I don't know if they'll last the long term, but if they don't it'd be easy enough to throw a few boards in there for additional support. Oh, and the bed... looks, feels, great! Seriously love this thing. Very sturdy, very sleek, very elegant, great for the money.

very pleased Jessica from Seattle, WA on 09/08/2014 – Verified Buyer
My husband and I put this bed together a few nights ago, and assembly was pretty simple. Screwing the sides to the headboard and foot board was the most time consuming part, and was a bit tedious - but only because it required using an Allen wrench in tight corners. So far this bed seems pretty solid. My husband is a relatively big guy (mid 200lb range) and I'm about half his weight...in the past we've had issues with his side of the bed breaking down before mine, resulting in me sleeping on a downhill slope (my back is not a fan). It's a bit early to tell if this will happen with this bed, but I've yet to notice any indication of it being a problem. Visually, this bed looks like many of the beds I've been drooling over from Crate & Barrel and Pottery Barn, but was a fraction of the price. We chose the grey color, and it's a nice medium tone that will go with almost anything. I'd definitely recommend it.

Great Decision! marisa from Victoria, BC on 05/28/2014 – Verified Buyer
I looked at this bed for about 4 months before I had the nerve to purchase it. I also looked around at other similar style beds and the price point on this one is fantastic. As I'm all the way up here in Canada I was a little nervous about shipping and things getting damaged...but no problem. I was in contact with the delivery company at least 4 times trying to work out a schedule that worked for me and they we're very accommodating.I ordered this bed in King size in the grey. The fabric is great quality and my husband had no problems putting it together. It's also very solid and the frame system for the mattress is well thought out and supportive. I'm very happy that I decided to take a chance and order this bed it's great quality for the price and very stylish as well.

SHOWER STALL DOOR HINGE J Filed Dec. 7, 1935 INVENTOR BY Will/om J/a// ATTORNEY Patented Nov l5, 1938 snownn srannno'onnmon William sum, mmaa, cant;
Application December 1, mastermind; 1'14 571"" e r mm. (cures-46) My invention relates to hinges for'doors, and particularly, although not necessarily to hinges.
for the doors of shower stalls.
Such stall door hinges as heretofore proposed are of the butt type and, hence, structurally complex and therefore costly to manufacture, and ineffective to prevent water leaking outwardly between the hinged edge of the door and the doorway.
It is a purpose of my invention to provide a hinge for shower stall doors characterized by its structural simplicity, durability, low cost of manufacture and easy mode of assembly, and wherein the parts of the hinge are so related one to the other that in applied position on a door and jamb and the loor in closed position, the
hinge functions to prevent leakage of water from the stall outwardly between the door and jamb.
I will describe only one form of hinge for shower stall doors, embodying my invention, and will then point out the novel features thereof, in
In the accompanying drawing:
Fig. 1 is a view showing in front outside elevation a door applied to a shower stall and in closed position, and having applied to the door and stall one form of hinge embodying my invention.
Fig 2 is a fragmentary view similar to Fig. 1 viewing the door from the inside and with the latter in open position.
Fig. 3 is an enlarged transverse sectional view taken on the line 3-3 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 4 is a view similar to Fig. 3 showing the door in open position, and taken on the line 4-4 of Fig. 2.
Fig. 5 is an enlargedsectional perspective view of the hinge only,
Referring specifically to thedrawing, my invention in its present embodiment consists of a hinge made of two main parts, one part comprising a jamb strip l5 constructed of metal, and the other part comprising a metal plate or a metal frame ii of a door, and particularly a door for closing the doorway of a shower stall where, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the frame supports a plate of glass l1 therein.
The jamb strip I5 is adapted to be secured to one vertical tiled wall l8 of the doorway of the shower stall. This strip I5 is coextensive in length with the wall l8, and screws iii are employed for fixedly securing the strip to the wall. At the inner edge or stall side edge of the jamb strip it is formed with an abutment flange 20 extending at right angles therefrom. It is against this flange 20 that the door frame it is 'cross section.
- door frame is parallel tothe jamb strip. At its outside'edgethejambstrip l i'isformed 5 with an elongated tongue 2| coextensive in length with the strip and ourvedlnwardly to. form a coextensive groove 22 attheiinnersi'de thereof.
Adjacent and to the inner side of thetongue 2i the strip itself is formed with a groove 23 coextensive in length therewith.*' 'Ihe transverse curvature of this groove is such that it coacts with the transverse curvature of thegroove 22 to form therewith a groove of involute curvature in The plate or frame l6 of the hingeis formed with a tongue 24 complemental to and coextensive in length with the tongue 2|. This tongue 24 is likewise transversely curved but oppositely to that of the tongue 2|; to define a 20 groove 25 the transverse curvature of which is struck from a single radius. Thus, the adjacent wall It of the door frame Hi from which the tongue projects, is tangent to this groove curvature.
With a hinge constructed as described, it is 2 necessary in order to operatively connect one hinge part to the other to present the end of one tongue to that of the other, so that the tongue 24 canbe extended endwise into the involute groove of the other tongue 2| and the latter tongue extended into the groove 25 of the tongue 24. In this manner the two tongues are interconnected to allow free turning movement of one on the, other through a degree angle. Because of the 3 transverse curvatures of the grooves 22, 23 and 24 and the outside curvatures of the tongues, the tongues can be turned one on the other without any lateral or transverse movement of the tongues relatively. In this manner any possibility of the 4 door sagging on the jamb is prevented. For securing the tongues against endwise relative moment, when once assembled as described, screws 26, 26 are threaded in the strip l5 (Fig. 3) so as to extend into slots 21 formed transversely in the tongue 24 (Fig. 5). Such a securing means permits the necessary turning movement of one tongue on the other, yet the tongues cannot shift lengthwise relatively.
Manifestly, where my hinge is applied to a 50 shower stall door, it is necessary to first apply flange 20 innermost, the two hinge tongues serve 55 right angular open position shown in Figs. 2 and 4. The open position of the door is defined by the wall It abutting the fiat portion of the tongue 2 I, while the closed position is defined by the door frame abutting the jamb strip.
In the adaptation of my hinge to a shower stall door, it provides the advantage of preventing water leaking between the parts of the hinge when the door is in closed position.. From an inspection of Fig. 3, it will be apparent that the free longitudinal edge of one tongue contacts throughout its length with the grooved side of the other tongue when the door is in closed position. In
this manner a double seal is formed between the two tongues which prevents the passage of water outwardly from between the tongues even when the water is sprayed directly against the hinge.
Although I have herein shown and described only one form of shower stall hinge embodying my invention, it is to be understood that various changes and modifications may be made herein without departing from the spirit of my invention and the spirit and'scope of the appended claims.
I claim:
1. In combination; a vertical jamb strip having a flange on one vertical edge the other vertical edge being formed with a groove, and a tongue both of which are coextensive in length with the jamb strip and curved transversely inward, with the curve of the groove and the inner curve of the tongue combining to form an involute curve while the curvature of the tongues outer sides is struck from a single radius and tangent to the adjacent vertical edge of said strip; a tongue on one vertical edge of the door coextensive in length therewith disposed between the sides thereof, and curved transversely outward from a single radius to form on its concave side a groove tangent to the vertical door edge, said tongues extending into the grooves of each other so that the door is mounted on the jamb to swing from a closed position in which the door abuts the flange, and the free vertical edges of the tongues contact with the walls of the respective tongue grooves for forming a liquid tight joint between the tongues, to an open position in which the confronting walls of the tongues contact with each other and the confronting walls of the door and the lamb strip abut each other; and means for securing the tongues against endwise relative movement.
2. In combination; a vertical jamb strip having a flange on one vertical edge thereof and an integral tongue on the other vertical edge coextensive in length therewith and continuously curved inwardly from said edge; a door having a frame; a tongue on one vertical edge of the frame coextensive in length therewith, situated between the sides thereof, and curved transversely outwardly, said tongues engaging one within the other so that the door frame is mounted on the jamb to swing from a closed position in which the door frame abuts the flange and the free vertical edges of the tongues contact with the respective confronting walls of the tongues, to an open positioning in which the confronting walls of the door frame and the jamb strip contact with each other.
3. A hinge comprising a strip having a tongue thereon curving inwardly away fromvan outer longitudinal edge thereof to define a groove in said strip, a second strip having a tongue thereon curving outwardly toward an outer longitudinal edge thereof to define a groove in said second strip, said tongues having interlocking engagement with one another whereby each of their edges are in simultaneous contact with the wall of the groove formed by the other tongue when said longitudinal edges face in the same general direction.
4. A hinge as defined in claim 3, wherein the edges of said tongues face in generally opposite directions when simultaneously contacting the walls of said grooves.
5. A hinge as defined in claim 3, wherein the wall of one of said grooves is an arc of a circle, and the edge of the tongue engageable therewith contacts it continuously to prevent relative translatory lateral movement between said strips.
6. In combination. a stationary jamb strip having a tongue thereon curving inwardly away from an outer longitudinal edge thereof to define an inwardly opening groove in said strip, a door adapted to open outwardly and having a tongue thereon curving outwardly toward a longitudinal edge thereof to define an outwardly opening groove in said door, said tongues having interlocking engagement, with at least an edge of one tongue in contact with the wall of the groove formed by the other tongue.
7. The combination defined by claim 6, wherein the edges of said tongues are in simultaneous contact with the wall of the groove formed by the other tongue when said door is in closed position.

About MeI'm a new model, I've only done a few shoots but would really like to do some more. I attend college in York but return home to Reading about every six weeks. I'm willing to drive a reasonable distance to do shoots but nothing ridiculous. I am willing to shoot more things, just not fetish pictures or completely nude (I'm okay with implied nude)

Even more classic is her button-down, tucked in, to take the denim from casual-wear to event-worthy wear. Really, the style isn't exclusive to skinnies; in fact, if you tuck it in to high-waisted flares you'll achieve the same clean look — and a flattering waistline. Face it, mom was right, tucking it makes you look way more put together. Just shop any of my button-down picks below to achieve the style, and feel free to mix and match with the denim you wear best.

And get this: "At 1.5 percent of GDP, the budget deficit is now lower than it was in 24 of the past 30 years." President Bush will have fulfilled his promise to cut the budget in half despite spending on the war, Katrina and even entitlements.
Heritage cautions that out of control entitlement spending "still threatens America's fiscal and economic future." But we should note that here, too, Democrats ruthlessly played the class warfare card to prevent President Bush from accomplishing entitlement reform.
Students of the Reagan era know the Democrats' contention that the rich got richer and the poor got poorer during that period is pure rubbish. Income increased for all income groups in the Eighties.
Surprise, surprise. The same is proving true for the Bush cuts. Mounting evidence contradicts the Democrats' shameless efforts to downplay the Bush economy by claiming the gap between the "haves" and "have nots" is growing.
Heritage's Rea. S. Hederman Jr. notes that the U.S. Census Bureau's annual report shows that in 2006, the growing economy increased the median family income and lowered the poverty rate, and income inequality did not statistically increase. This is without even factoring in tax transfer payments from upper to lower income groups.
Hederman concludes, "The Census report refutes the notion that 'the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer.' Instead, all quintiles are growing wealthier with more money income."
Democrats will not be deterred by these reports and, like their colleague John Edwards, will cite Census data that there are 36.5 million poor Americans who "do not have enough money for the food, shelter and clothing they need." But here again, closer inspection paints a different picture.
Heritage's Robert Rector documents that "if poverty means (as Edwards claims) a lack of nutritious food, adequate warm housing and clothing, then very few of the 36.5 million people identified as 'poor' by Census are, in fact, poor."
If all else fails, Democrats can always fall back on the supposedly 47 million uninsured Americans to confirm their gloomy picture of America and usher in a socialistic solution. Sorry, but these numbers are grossly distorted, too, as the Investors Business Daily editors cogently illustrated in their Wednesday editorial, "The '47 Million Uninsured' Myth."
It's past time to extend the Bush tax cuts.
Here we go: Jeb Bush's campaign weighing whether to have George W. hit the trail for him in South Carolina | Allahpundit

Trivia: Armitage III
- Hey, It's That Voice!: In the English dub of Armitage: Dual-Matrix, Mouse is voiced by a certain annoying alien.
- In the English dub of Poly-Matrix, Eddie Barrows is voiced by Heisenberg.
- Also in the English dub of Poly-Matrix, Ross Sylibus is voiced by none other than Jack Bauer.
- Cthulhu Mythos: Series writer Chiaki Konaka claims to have been inspired by The Dunwich Horror, as evidenced in Armitage's name, the character Lavinia Whateley, and the location of Dunwich, or Danich, Hill. Wilbur D'anclaude may also be a reference.
