Lovely place. There are very many places in Nairobi where websites, pictures and descriptions do not truly reflect the venue. The Reata is not one of these. Everything that was promised from the Reata's website was delivered. The photos and descriptions where entirely accurate.
Customer service is something the Reata does great. All staff I encountered were genuinely friendly, approachable and always happy to help. In customer service a smile goes a long way. The service seemed highly personalised. The smallest touches and attention to detail like having your room key ready as you walk through the door sets this place apart from the rest.
The location is great. It is very close to the CBD but not on a busy road so you are unaffected by the hustle and bustle of the city. The security was also very friendly.
In all I had a great experience and will definitely be going back

Okay so I've been using coconut oil since I was 7 since I'm south asian (Bangladesh, right next to india). This a great conditioner for hair and I love how soft and healthy my hair feels even though I damage it all the time with a straightener.
But you do not need to spend more than $7 on this, you can get real coconut oil at Indian or middle eastern stores with the brand name as Parachute, in a blue bottle. I get mine for about $5 but that's the big ones.

I purchased organic virgin cold pressed coconut oil from my local health food store. I tried coconut oil as an alternative to moisturizer, as most clog my pores. The first night I washed my face, and when it was still damp, rubbed a few drops of coconut oil between my palms before patting it on my face. My god them smell! It was like heaven! The next day I noticed that the coconut oil seemed to help heal blemishes, but at the same time gave me many clogged pores and blackheads. So now I use coconut oil as an occasional spot treatment for a huge pimple that needs to be healed.
I tried using it on my hair and it strengthened it like nothing else, but everywhere my hair touched I broke out. I broke out on my scalp even. I will try the oil pulling method for my teeth after I have my braces taken off and update. Overall, it was a mediocre product for me, but I still suggest you try coconut oil as everyones skin is different.

ok, I dont even know where to start.
1) hair. OH MY GOD. I've tried all the morrocan and the mythic and the macadamia and the kerastase treatments and the redken soft and all that and nothing compares to coconut oil. its the only oil that enters the moisture shaft in your hair so instead of just COVERING IT with crap, it really does moisturize! sleep over night with this in and shampoo it out and its a dream, really. my hair grows 10x faster with this in.
2) hair growth! as i mentioned before, my hair grows really fast now i use this weekly. so i put it on my eyelashes (only slightly, nothing to irritate them) and they have never looked so thick and long and healthy! so i then put it on my eyebrows- OMG in a week they were growing like crazy and so much more thick! i can finally pluck them into a shape i want! so good for sparse eyebrows like mine.
3) face. i have an oily t-zone that gets blocked, so instead of using this as a moisturizer, i mix with a bit of avocado or banana and smother it on my face for an hour before cleansing off. because of its anti-bacterial purposes it helps clear my spots but my skin is glowing and so smooth!
4) skin. dry patchs = gone. elbows, feet, knees, hands they are like babys bums no lie
5) health! so much better for you than regular oils!
can you tell i like this oil ahha? even reccomended it to my friend for her psoriasis and she said its really working.
cant reccomend enough really... bought mine from holland & barrett :)

Where do I start to tell you about all the good things this does for my health and beauty? First of all....... ONLY virgin oil is to be used. The old stuff that you can get cheap.. super cheap is not good for you. I personally only get mine at Whole Foods. It's like 7 bucks for an 11oz. jar; and it lasts f-o-r-ever!
Benefits...... Moisturizing.... face, body, hair. As a pre-shampoo.... or a hair dressing pomade. Amazing on my eye lashes... as a conditioner.
Anti-fungal -- anti-microbial -- anti-inflamatory.... great for first aid, bug bites, blemishes, athletes feet... and better for you than petroleum jelly.
I use this on my dogs wind burned/ chapped lips. He loves it................ and it won't hurt him.
AMAZING! My best beauty find ever!

It's amazing how something so ordinary and common as coconut oil can turn out to be that one thing your body really needs to look beautiful. Seriously, forget all the expensive hair treatments, lip treatments, and exfoliators. I paid $5.99 for 16 ounces worth of product that I can not only eat, but use for multiple beauty needs. Really now, what's better than that?
I use Trader Joe's Organic Virgin Coconut Oil primarily for my hair. I scoop out a generous amount of the flesh, and then proceed to heat it up in the microwave until it melts into oil. I make sure all of my hair (and my scalp, too! Coconut oil is great for dry scalps) is completely saturated. Then I put on a shower cap, blow dry it for some extra heat, and let my hair remain as such over night. On the next day, I shampoo the oil out and use a hair mask. The results are amazing. My hair is left feeling incredibly soft, from the roots to the ends. My waves are perfect ringlets. My hair is so shiny and practically frizz-free. Sadly, I do have to shampoo my hair two times to remove all of the grease, but that is a small price to pay when it comes to the awesome results I get.
The oil that's not used for my hair, I place on my lips. It's definitely the best lip treatment for cheap. I get kissable lips in an instant. This is the perfect base for lipstick.
It's been mentioned in other reviews that you can also use coconut oil as a scrub. I gotta say, that's true, too. Coconut oil naturally works to heal skin, so mixing it with sugar makes a gentle, yet powerful exfoliator that gets rid of all dead skin cells and works to hydrate new skin underneath. It can also be used as a simple moisturizer for really dry skin.
Whether you like to spend big bucks on high-end products or prefer to be on a lower budget, either way, know that you can't go wrong when using mother nature to look beautiful. :)

I use coconut oil to remove my eye makeup every night, and have been doing so for more than a year. I take a pea-sized amount (or smaller) and rub it over my eye, then take a washcloth and wet it with warm water, and wipe off the coconut oil. I wash my face afterwards with my regular cleanser. It removes EVERYTHING, including the waterproof hard-to-remove products. It has never broken me out, smells fantastic, and is so inexpensive because of how little you use. I also mix it with sugar and use it as a scrub for my hands, lips, and feet. It's amazing. I will never need to buy another makeup remover (except to use while travelling, as the jar of coconut oil I have is rather large, and can be a bit messy if it gets warm and melts). I've converted a friend and my sister, and they both love it too!

Love using this. I have a super-cheap option from Superdrug, I would buy a food grade version but I can't be bothered.
I use it on my hair, my face, my body....to moisturise, to remove make up - the possibilities are endless! I should keep a spoon upstairs though as I am always wrecking my nails getting it out of the tub.

Use this in my face packs. Use it every 2 days for my hair as a deep conditioner before I wash them. Works great as a body moisturizer. It has such a good smell and works amazing. I use it in my turmeric mask so that it doesn't stain!

I love EVCO...in my hair, my porridge, my smoothies...baking...curries. I use Nutiva and love it. For skin, I use this on dry hands to moisturize, or mix equal parts EVCO and sugar (about 1tsp each) and rub it around in my palms and hands for a minute before rinsing in warm water. Makes dry rough hands very silky and soft. I use this as a neck down, after shower moisturizer. I sadly do not tolerate this topically on my face. It left my acne worse than ever, and that took time to clear.
But, other than that, this is a staple in my kitchen and bathroom.

Click here to print the obituary below
Theo Helen Feeney
Theo Helen Feeney Theo Helen Feeney, 88, of Eureka, CA. passed on October 30, 2013. She was born in New Ulm, Minnesota, on August 17, 1925. Her family moved to St. Paul, Minnesota when she was a young girl. Theo was a graduate of the
University of Minnesota
School of X-Ray Technology. Fortunately, prior to graduation, she met a handsome young surgical Resident at the University, Michael J. Feeney, M.D. Mike and Theo married, and relocated to San Diego, California, where Mike practiced urological medicine until his untimely passing on February 10, 1984. Mike was a skilled surgeon, Chief of Staff at Mercy Hospital, a faculty member at UC San Diego's Medical School, and a leader in the San Diego and California medical communities. Theo was a member of the San Diego Medical Auxiliary, Mercy Hospital and Sharp Hospital Auxiliaries, the Juniors of Social Service, and a volunteer at the Children's Hospital in San Diego. She was an active member of All Soul's Episcopal Church in Pt. Loma, and proudly and patiently served as an Acolyte Mother for several years. Theo fulfilled her penchant for travel, frequently hosting family members so they could share in the travel experience, on numerous trips to Mexico, Canada, Costa Rica, South America, the (former) Soviet Union, Vienna and Prague, China, Japan, Africa and Antarctica. Once she even enjoyed a trip around the world on a Concorde jet! She moved to Eureka in 2002, to be closer to family. Once settled on the North Coast, Theo volunteered at St. Joseph's Hospital, became an active bridge player at the Senior Resource Center, and treasured dancing and enjoying life with her friends at the Friendship Dance Club on Monday evenings. Theo's family expresses their sincere and heartfelt gratitude for the care and love she received from Larona Farnum, and her wonderful family and staff at Timber Ridge. More than once over recent years, when Theo would have a health setback or challenge, there were recommendations for admission to a skilled nursing facility. Each time, the Farnum family responded, in essence: "Heck no, we have this covered. Theo is staying right here!" The family is also most appreciative of the care and support Theo received over the years from Eureka Internal Medicine, particularly Doctors Lengyel and Abels, and from Humboldt Neurological Medical Group and Doctors Gambin and Ward. Theo was preceded in death by her parents, Theodore and Frances Egeland, and her husband, Michael J. Feeney, M.D. She is survived by her son, Craig M. Feeney, M.D., and his wife, Kerri, of Pasco, Washington, and her granddaughters, Caitlin, of Cambridge, Massachusetts, and Brenna, of Walla Walla, Washington. Theo is survived by her son, John T. Feeney, Superior Court Judge, his wife, Debra, of Eureka, and Grandsons, Brian, of San Diego, and Darren, of Miami, Florida. At Theo's request, no services are planned. Her family shall, however, be forever blessed with wonderful memories of a generous, classy and lovely lady. Please sign the guestbook at
and click on obits.

The IAC/InterActiveCorp unit has a new sales office in Atlanta, and will double inside, outside and national sales forces this year.
Competing in the local online ad arena is an increasingly daunting proposition, and Citysearch intends to pull out the big guns this year. The IAC/InterActiveCorp company just opened a new sales office in Atlanta, and intends to nearly double its sales force, bolstering its troops on the inside, outside and national front lines.
The firm expects to have 180 people in the new location when fully staffed by June, according to Travis Fore, VP local sales at Citysearch. "It's very easy to recruit good sales people there," said Fore, noting the benefits of having a sales team on the East Coast to complement those based in L.A. Citysearch has had outside sales people based in Atlanta for years, said Fore, who was just promoted from his role as senior director of sales for the company. The new Atlanta sellers will call prospective clients across the country, and individual staffers will focus on specific advertiser verticals.
"[Citysearch's] goal is to double revenues," said Matt Booth, SVP program director interactive local media for research firm The Kelsey Group. "They're literally putting a stake in the ground and saying we're going to make a run at the local advertising space.... It's a pretty big bet."
Fore declined to quantify revenue goals, but did note, "Our goal is not to stay where we're at; we want to gain market share."
In addition to courting small- and medium-sized business advertisers that are beginning to spend online, Citysearch, which offers categorized business listings, ratings and reviews in hundreds of U.S. cities, also must win over online yellow pages advertisers. Online classifieds offerings are competing for those same dollars, too.
While Citysearch also battles against search engines for online bucks, newly-hired CEO of IAC Media and Advertising Peter Horan hinted the firm would connect its own Ask.com search platform and other local media offerings. "The idea is to bring together a lot of the search and local and advertising properties in one place and create some really compelling solutions," he said in a recent interview with ClickZ News.
To compete in this converging online local media market, said Kelsey's Booth, "It will take someone with a large deployed sales force."
Fore told ClickZ News, "We're definitely going to be opening new sales offices this year." The firm will also boost outside and national sales staff.
According to May 2006 Kelsey Group data, 28 percent of small and medium businesses bought Internet yellow pages (IYP) ads in July 2005, up from 24 percent in June of '04. Just 8 percent spent on Web city guides in July 2005, down from 11 percent in June 2004. While eight percent of advertisers surveyed plan to increase their IYP spend, none intend to put more money towards city guides online.
Sites like Citysearch also have a ways to go to catch up with search and IYP traffic. Search engine usage rose from 55 percent in 2005 to 59 percent in 2006, IYP dropped from 27 percent in '05 to 25 percent in '06, and city guide Web sites remained static at 18 percent between 2005 and 2006, falling from 21 percent in '03.
"It's such a competitive marketplace," Fore said. But he's banking on what he calls Citysearch's "sweet spot" between IYP and search. He points to the firm's variety of ad offerings as an advantage over more typical long-term IYP contracts, including pay-per-click, pay-per-call, flat fee-based pricing and long- or short-term contracts for sponsored listings.
When it comes to search, he expects Citysearch salespeople to better serve smaller businesses that don't react well to Internet ad jargon like SEM and SEO. Taking a cue from YellowPages.com, where both Fore and fellow sales exec Neil Salvage hail from, Citysearch places much emphasis on training sales staff to understand the needs of the business owners they deal with. "It goes back to training our reps to understand that business much more than understanding online advertising," said Fore.

In order to help make Google Play a safer place for Android users, ESET continues to monitor the official Android app market for malicious or potentially unwanted applications.
Exactly seven years ago to the day (September 23rd), after much speculation, Google finally lifted the lid on its secret project, one which would go onto change the mobile world.
ESET recently discovered an interesting stealth attack on Android users, an app that is a regular game but with an interesting addition: the application was bundled with another application.
The latest ESET discovery of the first known Android lock-screen-type ransomware that spreads in the wild and sets the phone's PIN lock is examined.
Dolphin and Mercury Android browsers have major vulnerabilities, allowing for remote code execution and arbitrary reading and writing of files.
Security researchers found a vulnerability in Android that could allow attackers to steal information from smartphones through remotely executed code via a crafted MMS. According to them up to 950 million devices could be vulnerable.
A recently identified trojan porn clicker is still infecting apps on Google Play.
Over 500,000 Android users targeted by phishing apps harvesting their Facebook credentials. ESET detects these trojans as Android/Spy.Feabme.A.
At the Google I/O event in San Francisco, the company announced a number of changes to its Android mobile operating system, including the option to deny any app individual permissions.
Porn clickers pretending to be the the Dubsmash application have found their way back onto Google Play, a month after being removed.
A Carnegie Mellon University study has discovered that a selection of Android apps collect location data on their users on average every three minutes, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Wondering how secure your Android smartphone is? Well, a 9-year-old cybersecurity expert has demonstrated how hackers could steal contacts, call logs and messages within just 15 minutes.
A vulnerability in Android's Wi-Fi Direct functionality has been uncovered by security researchers.
Google has revealed that Android smartphones and tablets running versions of the software released before 4.3 (Jellybean) will no longer be given official updates to an important part of the software
It's billed as the hottest new messaging app on the planet, and it's rocketed into the top ten in the U.S. in just a year. But how safe are you on Yik Yak?
Three UK firms have been fined over $500,000 for a scam that involved Android apps signing up to a subscription service, and suppressing notifications informing the victim they were being charged, according to The Guardian.
iOS and Android messaging app GroupMe has had a possible vulnerability fixed quickly by Microsoft, according to The Register. There was no evidence to suggest any cybercriminals had been able to exploit the flaw before it was patched.
So far, wearable tech has been of interest mainly to fitness fiends – but a new generation of hi-tech wearables comes armed with built-in scanners, biometrics and even 'three-factor security'. Can a watch really keep secrets?
Google has outlined the enhanced security credentials of the upcoming Android 5.0 – nicknamed Lollipop – in an official blog post.
ESET will be well represented in papers presented at the AVAR conference in November, but that's not the only interesting content on the agenda.

I will fund Hatch debate
Published May 16, 2012 1:01 am
This is an archived article that was published on sltrib.com in 2012, and information in the article may be outdated. It is provided only for personal research purposes and may not be reprinted.
Sen. Orrin Hatch's campaign manager says that Hatch is too busy with Senate business for more than one early morning debate on KSL radio's "Doug Wright Show" ("Hatch agrees to one debate before June 26 primary," Tribune, May 9).
I will donate two first-class airline tickets for Doug Wright and Hatch's opponent in the primary, former state Sen. Dan Liljenquist, to travel to Washington, D.C. And I will rent a banquet hall at a Washington Hyatt for a one-hour, prime-time debate so as not to infringe upon Hatch's work in the nation's Capitol. Utah deserves it.
That Hatch insists on radio as the only medium for debate predates John Kennedy. So believe me, my offer is legitimate.

Viking Has Fantastic Season Under the Prince
What a year it has been for platform tennis and the Viking brand! The 2008-2009 season saw the platform leader transition seamlessly into the Prince Sports portfolio of companies — retaining its authenticity while acquiring much needed resources to reach more players with improved, consistent equipment. Further strengthening Viking was the arrival of John Embree as President of Prince Americas. John, known throughout the racquet sports industry as one of platform's biggest advocates, now oversees the Viking brand working closely with Viking founder and platform legend David Kjeldsen and VP of Indoor Sports at Prince, Scott Winters.
"As a company, Viking is completely dedicated to continuing to grow the sport, and bringing to market the best equipment for new, frequent and high-level players," said Embree. "We feel more confident than ever that with our all-star staff in place, and a host of resources at our disposal that will allow us to continue to raise the bar and bring Viking and the sport of paddle to new heights."
In May of 2008, Viking's larger-than-life founder David Kjeldsen stood before the Prince national sales force to formally introduce the first line as part of the larger racquet sports brand. The 'Father of Modern Paddle' unveiled the most complete Viking line to date - new technology, new grips and grip shapes. The response could not have been more positive. "Across the board, players embraced the line wholeheartedly and with the support of an expert and far-reaching sales force ready to hit the road, a new era of Viking had officially begun," says Kjeldsen.
According to Scott Winters, "I could not be more pleased with the transition. Our sales team completely embraced this category and took sales to levels beyond expectation. We made smart and substantial improvements to the products and actually sold out of paddles much quicker than we ever expected due to new levels of demand.
We are excited about introducing several new products in August. This will include new enhancements to some of Viking's most popular models. In addition, players should know that we have developed some new processes which will make our manufacturing more efficient, improve product consistency and quality control across all categories and help us produce platform balls with the highest standards in the industry. It has, and continues to be a real thrill working with and learning from David and John - two of the biggest names in paddle - and I truly feel we are poised to "wow" players with our new line in August."

Morgan and Morgan is pleased to provide a Consumer Alert Center with information about defective products, dangerous drugs, and unfair business practices. With this resource, visitors to ForThePeople.com can stay up to date on the latest recalls and product safety warnings.
(PRWEB) March 18, 2010 -- Morgan and Morgan is dedicated to protecting the rights of consumers who have been injured by dangerous and defective products. In order to help consumers stay informed about the latest recalls, product safety announcements, and health risks, the firm has created an online Consumer Alert Center. Information about unethical business practices is also available in the Consumer Alert Center in order to educate consumers about companies that may attempt to take advantage of their customers.
Despite the best efforts of consumer protection agencies such as the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), potentially dangerous products occasionally reach the marketplace and cause harm to individuals. In some cases, the injury caused by a dangerous product may be minor and temporary (such as an upset stomach due to a mild case of food poisoning). However, more serious side effects may result in permanent disabilities or even death. For example, Yaz, Yasmin, and Ocella birth control pills have been linked to life-threatening conditions such as heart attack, stroke, and blood clots.
The Morgan and Morgan Consumer Alert Center features information on over 25 topics and is regularly updated with the latest news and updates. Site visitors can learn about the recent Toyota recall, defective Chinese drywall, health risks that h

Male gender preference, female gender disadvantage as risk factors for psychological morbidity in Pakistani women of childbearing age - a life course perspective

2 Department of Psychiatry, Aga Khan University, Stadium Road, Karachi 74800, Pakistan
3 Aklilu Lemma Institute of Pathobiology, University of Addis Ababa, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

BMC Public Health 2011, 11:745 doi:10.1186/1471-2458-11-745Published: 29 September 2011
In Pakistan, preference for boys over girls is deeply culturally embedded. From birth, many women experience gendered disadvantages; less access to scarce resources, poorer health care, higher child mortality, limited education, less employment outside of the home and circumscribed autonomy. The prevalence of psychological morbidity is exceptionally high among women. We hypothesise that, among women of childbearing age, gender disadvantage is an independent risk factor for psychological morbidity
A cross-sectional catchment area survey of 525 women aged 18 to 35 years living in Islamabad and Rawalpindi. The effect of gender disadvantage was assessed as a latent variable using structural equation modelling. Indicators were parental gender preference, low parental care, parental overprotection, limited education, early age at marriage, marital dissatisfaction and low autonomy. Psychological morbidity was assessed using the 20 item Self Reporting Questionnaire (SRQ).
Gender disadvantage was independently predictive of psychological morbidity. Among married women, socio-economic status did not predict psychological morbidity, and the effect of education was mediated through gender disadvantage rather than socioeconomic status (SES). The women's own preference for a male child was strongly predicted by their perceptions of having been disadvantaged by their gender in their families of origin.
The high prevalence of psychological morbidity among women in Pakistan is concerning given recently reported strong associations with low birth weight and infant stunting. Social action, public policies and legislation are indicated to reduce culturally embedded preferences. Neglect of these fundamentals will entrench consequent inequities including gender bias in access to education, a key millennium development goal.

Posted: April 23, 2013While reading fellow Gadling blogger Chris Owen's post about a Twitter mix-up between Chechnya and the Czech Republic, I was horrified to read that one-third of young Americans can't find the Pacific Ocean.
I was horrified, but not surprised. I taught for several years in a community college and no amount of public ignorance surprises me anymore – not after a student handed in a paper stating that Iraq and Afghanistan were cities.
But I'm always suspicious of statistics. It's a well-known fact that 85 percent of all statistics are wrong, so I emailed Chris and asked for his source, which turned out to be the Around the World geography project. They cite a National Geographic study that found 29 percent of U.S. 18-24 year olds couldn't find the Pacific Ocean on an unlabeled map.

Touch-optimized Office for iPad still in the works, Microsoft CEO revealsOutgoing Microsoft Chief Executive Steve Ballmer dished Tuesday on a new touch-optimized version of his company's Office suite headed for Apple's iPad.
The company apparently plans to release a touch version of Office for its own Windows platform first, after which the software will come to iPad. Ballmer revealed the in-development software while speaking at a Gartner event in Florida on Tuesday, according to The Verge.
Microsoft revealed an official Office 365 app for iPhone in June. But that application was not designed to take advantage of the larger display of Apple's iPad.
The current Office application for iPhone requires users subscribe to the Office 365 service. That grants users access to Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents on the go.
A more complete version of Office for iPad will arrive once Microsoft has completed its "touch first" interface for the suite, Ballmer revealed. The exiting CEO did not give a timeframe for the software's launch, but did say that development is "in progress."
Ballmer's comments are Microsoft's first official confirmation of a version of Office made for Apple's iPad. There have been previous rumors and even leaked screenshots for years, suggesting the software has been in the works for some time.

Evaluating Neurological Symptoms
By Whitney Lowe, LMT
In massage therapy, the tendency is to focus on the role of muscles in pain or injury, sometimes to the exclusion of other soft tissues. Nerves are one of these often forgotten tissues, yet they play a critical role in many pain complaints. Neglecting these tissues can lead to inadequate treatment and the development of chronic pain conditions.
With all the work we perform on soft tissues throughout the body, the absence of knowledge of nerve-tissue disorders is serious. Massage can be an exceptional treatment approach for numerous nerve pathologies because soft-tissue therapy can successfully address nerve compression and tension disorders. Effective treatment of these disorders must begin with accurate evaluation of the client's primary problem. When performed effectively, simple manual examination is one of the most effective tools for evaluating nerve system function.
One might be inclined to think evaluation of nerve-tissue disorders should be left to primary care professionals who have access to MRI, EMG and nerve-conduction testing. However, while high-tech diagnostic studies are effective in certain circumstances, they are not always accurate. For example, median nerve compression does not always show up in nerve-conduction tests for carpal tunnel syndrome.1,2 While no single testing method is always correct, manual neurological examination has a high degree of reliability and should always be a part of a comprehensive evaluation.3,4
Structure, Function and Pathology
The motor versus sensory fiber make-up of peripheral nerves is an important characteristic to note when evaluating neurological symptoms. Most major nerve pathologies affect the peripheral nerves. Peripheral nerves have a dorsal root that carries sensory information and a ventral root that carries motor signals (See Figure 1). The nerve roots blend together shortly after leaving the spinal cord, converging to create the major trunks of the peripheral nerves. These nerves then course through the upper and lower extremities as well as other regions of the body. Most peripheral nerves carry both motor and sensory fibers, but a few carry one or the other almost exclusively.
Compression pathologies are the most common type of nerve injury. Compression can occur anywhere along the length of the nerve from the nerve root all the way to the distal end of the nerve. Pressure on a nerve root is called a radiculopathy. Examples include herniated intervertebral discs, spinal tumors, bone spurs and spinal stenosis, which is a narrowing of the intervertebral foramen where the nerve root exits the spine (See Figure 2).
When pressure is applied to a nerve further along its length in the upper or lower extremity, it is called a peripheral neuropathy. Common examples of peripheral neuropathies include carpal tunnel, thoracic outlet and piriformis syndromes. In a peripheral neuropathy, the nerve can be compressed by muscle, fibrous bands, bone, tendon, local inflammation or other factors. Treatment focuses on reducing compression on the affected nerve, so the practitioner must distinguish where that adverse compression is occurring.
Evaluating Symptoms
Evaluating for the location and type of nerve pathology is necessary for selecting the most appropriate treatment strategies. Evaluation seeks detailed information on the client's symptoms. Acquire as much detailed information from the client as possible through the history and physical evaluation.
Most of the large peripheral nerves carry both motor and sensory fibers, which have different symptom patterns. Consequently, when there is damage to the nerve, there may be motor and sensory symptoms. However, some nerves carry a much larger percentage of either motor or sensory fibers. In these cases, it is more common to see one type of symptom pattern than another.
For example, if the piriformis muscle is entrapping the posterior femoral cutaneous nerve in the gluteal region (See Figure 3), symptoms are most likely to be pain or paresthesia in the posterior thigh because this nerve is predominantly a sensory nerve innervating the posterior thigh. If the piriformis is compressing the superior gluteal nerve, the most common symptom is weakness in the hip abductor muscles because the superior gluteal nerve is mostly a motor nerve supplying the hip abductor muscles.
The most common sensory symptoms from nerve compression are pain, paresthesia (pins and needles), numbness, burning or electrical-type sensations. Sensory symptoms from nerve compression usually are felt distal to the site of compression. There are exceptions to this guideline, but it generally holds true.
The symptom pattern for compression on a nerve root usually is different from compression on a peripheral nerve. This distinction has important ramifications for treatment. When pressure is applied to a nerve root, the symptoms might be felt anywhere within a specific dermatome. A dermatome is an area of skin supplied by a single nerve root. Figure 4 shows the C8 dermatome, which is the area of skin supplied by fibers that originate from the C8 nerve root (between the C7 and T1 vertebrae). Dermatome maps such as the one in Figure 4 are common in anatomy books. However, these are not absolute, nor is every person exactly the same. There can be slight variations in the dermatome due to anatomical anomalies. In some cases, nerve-root compression symptoms are only felt in a portion of the dermatome, which makes it challenging to pinpoint the problem.
The symptom pattern for compression on a peripheral nerve occurs in regions that overlap the dermatome. Each peripheral nerve supplies sensory innervation to a particular area of skin in the extremity; this is called that nerve's cutaneous innervation. For example, the cutaneous innervation of the ulnar nerve is limited to the ulnar side of the hand as shown in Figure 5. Recognition of nerve symptom patterns requires knowledge of each peripheral nerve's cutaneous innervation or each nerve root's dermatome. Clearly there is overlap between the cutaneous innervation of the ulnar nerve in our example and the C8 dermatome. Such overlap makes clinical analysis more challenging. So, how do you figure out where the symptoms are originating?
The best way to determine the site of compression is through accurate assessment. In general though, if symptoms exist throughout a complete dermatome, then you likely have a nerve root issue (radiculopathy). Choosing tests that further evaluate that nerve root would be the next step. If the symptoms are confined to one nerve's cutaneous innervation, then a peripheral neuropathy is likely. However, because nerve-root compression symptoms can occur in only a portion of the dermatome, further testing would be warranted to rule out nerve-root involvement.
For instance, if a client presented symptoms along the medial side of the arm and forearm extending into the hand, involving the C8 dermatome, it would indicate a C8 nerve-root pathology. If the symptoms were felt only on the ulnar side of the hand, the problem would likely be due to pressure somewhere along the ulnar nerve distal to the nerve root. But, due to dermatome and cutaneous innervation overlap, further testing would be warranted. In addition, further testing would be needed to determine the location of that compression along the path of the ulnar nerve. Treatment could then be directed to the most appropriate location.
When evaluating neurological symptoms, do not assume there is always a mechanical compression or tension problem. Numerous systemic disorders such as multiple sclerosis, myasthenia gravis or diabetes can also produce peripheral neurological symptoms, as could myofascial trigger points from distant muscles. These other pathologies should always be considered as a possibility, and referral is suggested.
Nerve pathologies affect motor function when motor-nerve fibers are involved. The most common symptom from motor-nerve compression is weakness or atrophy in the muscle(s) supplied by the affected nerve. Numerous anatomical references show where motor branches depart from major nerve trunks to supply innervation to muscles. As with sensory symptoms, the affected muscles are distal to the site of compression. Consequently, the more distal the compression site, the fewer muscles will be affected. Figure 6 shows a schematic for compression at two different locations along a nerve and how it affects the muscles innervated by that nerve.
Muscle weakness and atrophy are the most apparent symptoms from motor-nerve compression. However, in some cases pathologies develop from altered biomechanical patterns resulting from muscle weakness induced by nerve injury. Most of our movements involve complex coordination patterns of multiple muscles to accomplish a task. Weakness or atrophy from nerve compression in one of these muscles can cause resultant problems that might not seem related.
Here's an example of motor weakness contributing to a different pathology. The long thoracic nerve innervates the serratus anterior muscle, which is crucial for moving the scapula properly during shoulder abduction. Tightness in the scalene muscles can compress the long thoracic nerve and cause weakness in the serratus anterior muscle. Carrying a backpack, book bag or other heavy item with a shoulder strap could also compress this nerve. When the serratus anterior is weak, the coordination of movement between the scapula and humerus in abduction no longer functions properly and can lead to shoulder impingement syndrome. You might not think of nerve compression as a primary cause in this condition, but muscle weakness from nerve compression is at the root of the problem.
More massage therapists today are working in clinical environments and with clients who have a wide variety of pain and injury conditions. It is crucial that practitioners understand how the symptoms of nerve conditions might present. In some cases, the client should be sent to another health professional for further evaluation, especially when the problem is out of the practitioner's scope of practice or experience level. In other situations, massage can be an extremely important part of the treatment process because few other approaches treat the soft tissues with the degree of specificity of massage therapy. In future columns we'll explore treatment strategies that can be used to address various nerve pathologies.
Any practitioner who wants to address the full gamut of soft-tissue disorders is strongly advised to learn more about function and pathology in the nervous system. Understanding nerve structure and function will aid in treating these conditions. Applying quality clinical reasoning and evaluation skills is part of this process and can greatly improve the outcomes for clients.

I was so excited to get the Mia. I thought it would perform miracles, clear my skin and make me look radiant. It doesn't do that for me. The only real benefit I get from this brush is that it makes my skin extra clean by removing every ounce of makeup. My skin really does feel squeaky clean. But that's it. It doesn't help my acne, and it actually makes my sensitive skin peel more that it already does.
I have used 3 brush heads - sensitive, delicate, and acne. The only one my skin can tolerate is delicate. I kind of regret purchasing this product since it doesn't deliver for me at all. Big disappointment.

The Clarisonic Mia is the best $130 I've ever spent. I have combination skin with a lot of oil and fairly large pores, and I've suffered from bouts of acne (especially period breakouts) since I was a teenage. I'd tried everything from aloe vera, organic lotion formulas, mud masks, drugstore cleansers, over the counter acne medication, to dermatologist prescribed medication. Nothing has worked as well as the Clarisonic Mia. I've used it for 5 months now, and my skin is basically pimple free. I began to see results within the 1st month. I use it once a day in the shower with Cetaphil cleanser. I have the normal brush-head and though I have relatively sensitive skin, I don't think it's too rough. It really, really cleanses your skin, and digs into the pores. Plus, it does wonders for my sinuses and really improves circulation in my face. It's a staple in my everyday routine, and I can't live without it. Only regret is that I wish I'd bought it sooner!

I'm just chiming in to say that I love my Clarisonic Mia. I've tried imitations from the Olay spin brush to other spin brushes. They do not compare. The Mia's brush does not simply just rotate around but it deep cleans, and it really shows on my skin. My skin does not often break out but it is really oily and the texture was not great. I found that even exfoliating washes did not adequately "cleanse" my face. So I got the Mia in yellow and it works great so far, it's been a few weeks and I notice my skin glows right after I use it. I combine this with Philosophy 3in1 Purity cleanser and do it for one minute. My skin feel so smooth and clean to the touch! A cautionary note that it does feel a bit abrasive and rough for the first time but my skin gets accustomed to it. I use it twice a day - when I wake up in the morning and before I go to bed. Highly recommended - it's an investment and worth every penny. I mean it's expensive but if it's going to keep my skin radiant and youthful then it's money well-spent.

Let me just start out by saying this is one of those things that will change your life. As dramatic as that sounds, I'm 100% serious. Especially if you are someone who has been struggling with terrible skin for a long time like me. My skin background: extremely oily, very acne prone. After using the clarisonic 2x a day for 2 months: BEAUTIFUL!! My skin is FLAWLESS. Its super smooth, never rough EVER. But most importantly my acne is GONE. This coming from someone who broke out EVERYDAY. Very bad acne all over especially on my chin and around my mouth. My chin is super clear now and breakout free! This brush has literally transformed my terrible skin into brighter, clearer, smoother skin. This is the best investment I've ever made and I really really recommend this to everyone. It is so worth the money. Trust me.

I bought this device few years ago.
I used it religiously, so yes, it took me months to realize that Clarisonic does not suit my skin after all. My skin is not sensitive, but picky.
My problems:
- too much exfoliation
- stripped my skin from its natural oils
- cleansing the brush... Well, this is another story. If I were a millionaire I would change the brushes every single day, but I'm not and they're too expensive (actually they're just a piece of plastic). I washed them after every use, but I never (I mean it) felt them clean enough.
So I can see that this works for others really well but not for me.

What are you doing here, wasting precious minutes reading reviews when you could be, at this very second, ordering the best skincare product you'll ever lay hands on?!?! Just order the darn thing already! My skin: Oily, easily dehydrated, super sensitive, clog/dermatitis/eczema-prone. How many products have I angrily tossed into the trash, having wanted desperately for them to produce the results this magic little buff machine has pulled out of its hat... I've got my own trash heap at the city dump by now: that's how many.
I could write a novel dedicated to the gloriousness that is Mia, but you've already wasted too much time scouring the review section for a glimmer of affirmation that Yes! You Need This! You Need This Yesterday!! All those Clairisonic dupes on the market: fugghedaboudem. I've owned the Pretika and Olay models, and they couldn't hold a candle to the Mia. Their performance doesn't even come close.
Purging! It's a real thing; don't get discouraged. What happens when the purging phase has passed is sheer epidermal ecstasy. Pimples are gone. *Poof* Just like that. My pores are smaller, fine lines are diminished, skin is glowy and healthier looking. Mia has even helped zap a few stubborn eczema patches.
I always remove MU and SS before washing, so I don't find that I need to clean the brush head weekly. I do rinse the brush thoroughly with hot water after each use* and give Mia several good shakes to clear out water trapped beneath the brush. Treat Mia with respect and Mia will respect you.
Oh, and once a day Mia washings is all my sensitive skin needs (and wants). I make it count, though. I take my time forming those overlapping circles recommended by Clairisonic. The real magic is in increased circulation, so don't shortchange your skin with a quick buff. Think of it as a mini spa treatment. The best part is that you get to be your own aesthetician...every single day :-)
*So far my favorite Mia-compatible cleanser is Philosophy's Purity Made Simple. Don't ask why they go together like PB & J, it's inexplicable. Only the skincare gods know.

Guys, all the rave reviews aren't a joke. The Clarisonic actually is amazing.
My skin was horrible after a summer in China (heat + humidity + change in lifestyle/location + me running out of my typical skincare products = disaster). I bought the Clarisonic Mia to combat that (it was the cheapest one). I tried using it with a variety of different cleansers until I found one that worked (the Fresh Soy Face Cleanser).
It was not an easy process. It took a long time. I did go through a mild purge phase, but it wasn't that I broke out excessively. It was just that my existing pimples didn't go away. It took a good 3-4 months for my skin to clear up and for there to be a noticeable difference. My skin isn't completely clear still, but the texture has improved dramatically.

I had to stop with my Retin-A cause I'm doing a treatment called V-beam for my redness in my face. But!! Now I had more problems with my acne instead!! The benzoyl peroxide is just not enough.... I've suffered from acne since I've been 11 years and now I'm 34. I have hormonal adult acne, and there is not much that can affect it (have been on Accutane 3 times, pills and thousands of other medical treatments). I have both a lot of small bumps and larger red pimples.
I started by using the sensitive brush for the first 2 weeks. My skin wasn't used to this, so during the first 2 weeks it felt dry and I developed some more acne.... I couldn't use the brush twice daily, but every other night .
But after these weeks my pore cleansing brush arrived and now I've used that one for 1 week. I think it seems to cleanse much better than the sensitive brush, that was too baby soft in some way.... Cause now I use the pore cleansing brush for 2-3 minutes every night. I'll start to try it twice a day now!!
And my small bumps and acne has cleared up for about 30% during these 3 weeks of use of Clarisonic!!!! Amazing!!!!!!!!
The face seems much cleaner and the pores are not locked in a lot of oil/dirt/skin that blocks them to get out....
The only con is that I had to order it from the UK - why don't they sell this in Scandinavia?????
Update 2013-06-06:
Now I've used the clarisonic for 5 weeks (2 weeks the sensitive brush and the latest 3 weeks the deep pore cleansing brush).
I can't describe how much I love this!!! Can you people believe that this thing did a better job than both Retin-A and bensoyl peroxide???? I can't believe that!! I have adult hormonal acne, and some areas have been stubborn as h*ll during the latest years - I ALWAYS had maybe 7-10 small bumps on each side of my temples - nothing in the world could remove them (except maybe Accutane again)!!!! Now they're reduced to maybe 4 on each side!! Also all the other bumps.in my face - until now the acne is reduced to 40%!!!!!
500 lippies!!!!! :D

It took me almost TWO years to buy this tool because it's so expensive. I finally ended up purchasing it because my face was recovering from the worst case of cystic acne that I've ever had and needed better exfoliation. Previously, I would use a regular washcloth and/or a nylon washcloth (which is scrubby). I've also used the facial buf sponge, but nothing would completely get rid of the flakes and rough texture that I would get from my acne treatments. Out of desperation I one day used a pedicure brush on my face! Just to see if it would make a difference. And it did. Except it was way too rough and painful. Needing to use exfoliating type products to lessen the acne and its scars I shopped around for a good deal and finally purchased the Mia.
LOVE IT. I've been using this for about 3 months now and my acne has reduced by at least half after I started using it. It's not a miracle tool, but it opened my pores well enough that my acne products that previously never stung (and were supposed to), now did and worked better on my skin. I usually wash my face first with cleanser to remove most of the makeup and then use this which removes the rest. I like the sonic vibration and never experienced any purging. However, I did not like the cleanser, I believe it caused a few zits so I gave it away. The Mia I bought came with only the sensitive brush head which I thought wouldn't do the job on my face since it's used to scrubbing but I actually like it. I recently ordered the deep exfoliation brush head and will update this review with my thoughts.
I still think it's outrageously expensive but it's made such a difference in my sensitive, super oily, extremely acne-prone skin that it was worth it. If you're on the fence, I would suggest buying from a retailer that has an excellent return policy in case you don't love it.
At around the 1 year mark, my Clarisonic would not charge. I would attach the charger and it would only pulsate on and off continuously. Before this I didn't even use it on a daily basis because my acne calmed down significantly and also.. from pure laziness. I stopped trying and contacted customer service for Clarisonic, even though, the guarantee was up. I received an email with a long number of questions that I never answered, because frankly I was just way too busy and from reading other comments on the web on troubleshooting, it seemed I would just need to replace it.
I wound up putting it in a drawer and forgetting about it for many, many months as you can tell from the date of my first review. Just two days ago, I was de-cluttering, came across my Clarisonic, and decided to plug it in one more time before chucking it (I had to! It was so expensive, and after only one year?!). As it pulsated, I wistfully placed my finger on the brush head to feel the vibration and thought, "I would never spend so much money on a tool that would fail after a year. Definitely not replacing this." Well, guess what happened? The Clarisonic stopped it's crazy on and off pulsations. I was astounded, and left it alone. After a few hours I checked it to see if it would hold a charge and it did! I have been using it now for the past couple of days and am so happy. I guess, it just needed a little pressure while pulsating to get it back in gear. I hope it lasts at least another year (I might replace it). If it lasts two more I will definitely replace it.
SO, now to an UPDATE on the additional brush heads that I had bought:
Luxe Cashmere Cleanse Brush Head: Bristles are very long and super soft, don't expect to get any exfoliation from this. Possibly made for the most, extremely sensitive of skins. It was like washing with a bunch of feathers or some such. I hated it.
Deep Pore: The best for me! It feels just right. To reiterate, because this is an essay long review I know, I have really sensitive, acne-prone skin and get a lot of flaking from my acne treatments. This feels great, NOT AT ALL rough and gets rid of the flakes. I honestly can't feel a difference really between the sensitive, normal and deep clean brush heads. I think only the ring of colored bristles is what is different.

The way I see it, there are essentially two trades facing
investors right now: whether to chase winners or look for
opportunities among unloved growth names.
On the one hand, we have low-risk stocks like utilities, drug
makers, and consumer-product companies--the ones you hear
constantly touted for being "high-quality" and paying "big
dividends." On the other, we have many companies that are trading
near 52-week lows that seem to be bottoming out, especially
industrials and certain technology names.
American investors have grown so paranoid about things that go
bump in the night--European debt blowups and Chinese economic
data, for example--that we have been forced into stocks with
extreme safety. They have sought investments that resemble bonds
as much as possible because they have little risk and pay income.
These safety names essentially amount to little more than
"high-beta" Treasuries, and I believe that they need to be
understood as such. If Treasury yields start to rise and risk
appetite returns, companies like Consolidated Edison, Altria, and
Kraft will slow down or reverse. The focus will then shift to
beaten-down growth names that stand to benefit from a stronger
At the same time, certain industrial and material stocks have
been sitting and waiting for the last couple of months. Most of
them, including Ingersoll Rand, U.S. Steel, and Terex, have been
nudging their way higher since October but remain trapped against
their 100-day moving averages. If sentiment improves and risk
appetite return, these could really run.
One potential strategy is a
butterfly spread
on X: You could buy one January 31 call, sell two January 33
calls, and buy one January 35 call, for a total cost of $0.09.
This strategy will start making money in a hurry if X pushes
above $31, with a maximum profit of more than 2,000 percent if
the stock closes at $33 on expiration. (See our
The trade has a big potential reward but low probability of
success because X is currently around $26, so would have to rally
more than 25 percent for the maximum profit to be realized. The
reason that I suggest it is that, when a stock like X starts to
move, a 25 percent gain in a single month is completely possible.
The steel giant is always a good name for a complex strategy like
a butterfly because it trades a ton of options and therefore has
tight bid/ask spreads. Always remember that the more pieces a
trade has, the more it will cost you in both commissions and
bid/ask spreads.
Ford looks similar to X and has been pushing higher since October
while trying to break its 100-day moving average. It also has
tight option spreads.
A few others worth checking out include:
Overall, the boring safety names may continue to lead early in
2012, so it could make sense to wait for pullbacks in those in
the near term. But at some point sentiment will return to growth.
Be ready for that shift to occur, because when it does the picks
identified here could strongly outperform.

The term tech house developed as a shorthand record store name for a category of electronic dance music that combined musical aspects of techno, such as "rugged basslines" and "steely beats," with the harmonies and grooves of progressive house.[1][2] The music originally had a clean and minimal production style that was associated with techno from Detroit and the UK.[2] In the mid to late 1990s a scene developed in England around club nights such as The Drop run by Mr.C & Plink Plonk, Heart & Soul, and Wiggle run by Terry Francis and Nathan Coles.[1] Other DJs and artists associated with the sound at that time included Charles Webster, Bushwacka!, Dave Angel, Herbert, Funk D'Void, Ian O'Brien, Derrick Carter, and Stacey Pullen.[1][2] By the late 90's London nightclub The End, owned by the former Shamen rapper Richard West (Mr C) and Layo Paskin, was considered the home of tech house in the UK.[1] dj lulu LC:)'s tracks Dj Faliz -LC TOGETHER@FESTIVAL#BOSTON by dj lulu LC:) published on 2014/04/18 18:45:31 +0000 Intense Deep Tech House Vol#1 By Dj Feliz by dj lulu LC:) published on 2014/02/24 17:52:21 +0000 Maven Graduation Set Plus Litle Something by dj lulu LC:) published on 2014/02/13 02:15:19 +0000 Live From Mmaven Room 2014 by dj lulu LC:) published on 2014/01/06 18:50:27 +0000
