Enlarged Prostate Treatment - Natural Cures
Last Modified on Nov 17, 2015
Treatment of prostatitis includes a variety of practices that incorporate daily supplements and natural remedies. One of the most widely used holistic cures is cayenne pepper, which is reported to alleviate the symptoms of a swollen prostate quickly. Cayenne is also widely used in the treatment of prostate cancer.
What Is Prostatits?
An inflamed or swollen prostate is known as prostatitis; it is common for the prostate gland to become enlarged as a man ages. The medical term for this condition is benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), or benign prostatic hypertrophy, and as cells increase they form large nodules that can compress the urethra, obstructing the flow of urine and causing pain. The prostate gland doesn't usually cause problems until later in life - it rarely causes symptoms before age 40. However, more than 50% of men in their sixties and as many as 90% in their seventies and eighties have some symptoms of an enlarged prostate.
Prostatitis can also occur due to bacterial infection; it is possible for bacteria carried in the urine to leak into the prostate. While there is no evidence that an enlarge prostate can lead to prostate cancer, an enlarged prostate can overproduce the same proteins used to screen for prostate cancer.

Address Underlying Infection

Prostate Enlargement:
Here are some helpful insights (I hope helpful) on what might be happening relative to prostate problems.
Enlarged prostate might mean there is an infection in the prostate causing enlargement of the prostate, unrelated to cancer. The reports form various cancer studies would indicate that enlargement (BPH) does not mean there is there is cancer in the prostate.
There is more a likelihood that there is a yeast, bacterial or viral infection in the prostate causing the enlargement. But then the reaction upon learning of a BPH problem by typical health care providers is to get a needle biopsy (12 point biopsy) where 12 needles are shot through the rectum and into the prostate.
However, the infection rate is very high for such a procedure.
So there is a quandary about how to handle the issue. A regular medical approach would typically call for such a biopsy and also an MRI and then medication.
But for those wishing to take a more conservative approach, the postponement of the invasive procedures means one would be looking at natural means to reduced enlargement; use of beta sitosterol, saw palmetto, pumpkin seed and many other formulas might be first tried.
But the underlying problem of the possibility of a deep seated infection in the prostate will still not have been addressed. So often the anti inflammation problem will persist.
My suggestion is that any man suffering with BPH who is seeking out methods to deal with prostate enlargement not overlook the possibility of underlying infection.
There are some innovative methods of analysis available...Radio Wave Frequency techniques, Rife Technology and other possible avenues for determining if a yeast or bacteria or virus is causing the enlargement should be explored.
I'd appreciate any reader to comment on this issue of how to determine if an infection is present and how to deal with possible deep tissue infections...in this case a possible deep gland infection.
I have used colloidal silver over a long term in high quantity as well as Rife. So far in measuring inflammation, mine is much reduced. Deep bacteria infection appears to have been the cause and I think the Rife technology is the reason there is a reduction in infection and consequently a reduction in inflammation. Hence, I am becoming asymptomatic. Reduction in gland enlargement, however, can take a very long time to accomplish so patience is a virtue.
I have to avoid the known prostate inflammatory items such as coffee and chocolate.
D: It is becoming increasingly known that the regular or periodic use of Cranberry or D Mannose provides the necessary removal of pathogens in the U.T. that continually infect the prostate, resolving the issue of why so many conventional and alternative treatments weren't working.

05/06/2015Purchased the GNC Prostate for my husband, and it did not work. Our Doctor recommended the Dr. Max Powers Prostate Support supplements, and he said it is working so much better. A little more expensive but like the old saying goes YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. So He would recommend the Dr Max Powers brand Prostate supplements over the GHC ones.

[YEA] I started using ACV and raw honey 2 weeks ago, but only because someone said that it was good for you. I never gave it a thought about how it would help me. I have been taking Flomax for about 2 years now, but today, I have not taken a Flomax for two days, and I don't need flomax now. Thanks to the ACV and Raw Local Honey.
As an added benefit, my Ohio River Valley allergies have all but gone away. Yea

[YEA] No one was more sceptical than me about natural cures, but through desperation I turned to the Internet to try and find help for my prostate issues. I am very grateful to every one who posted about apple cider vinegar because to my amazement it really works. I have had troubles for nearly four years without remedy, and yet within three hours of taking the vinegar (one tablespoon in water) the discomfort I have suffered for so long started to dissipate. Two days later I feel so much better and I would encourage anyone suffering to give it a try. I have also started taking blackstrap molasses as recomended on another part of this site. In the UK I got the apple cider vinegar from Asda and the blackstrap molasses from Amazon. I never post on websites but feel it is so important for sufferers to give it a try I had to help spread the word. Best wishes to everyone looking for help.
[YEA] I had both the acid reflux and the slow urine stream and getting up two and three times a night to urinate. I started on raw and organic apple cider vinegar; two teaspoons in 8 oz. of tea or water first thing in the morning on an empty stomach and after 2 weeks I am much improved. In hot tea add raw honey as well. I am able to empty my bladder better and now get up once during the night. Urine stream is also better. I take the Apple Cider Vinegar "cocktail" every morning and so far great results. Take at least 1 hour before meals.They do recommend not taking over two tablespoons per day.
[YEA] ACV works really well :) I use 1 or 1 and half tablespoons of ACV in a glass of juice and take that once or twice a day.
I started taking ACV for my prostate issues and found great relief using this. ACV is the best remedy I have found to date. No more pain when urinating. No more pain after sex. Wonderful! Sometimes the pain was really really bad, sometimes I would have erections that would not go away, and were not sexual at all..
Wonder of wonders, after taking ACV I soon noticed my mild reflux was gone.. and also my rhinitis had further improved. I use the No Starch Diet (quite similar to Paleo Diet actually) for my messed up immune system and that had already greatly improved my rhinitis (and other inflammatory immune problem too).
== Other things I tried ==
* Molasses - actually seemed to work reasonably well, but the ACV remedy is better!
* Top quality Multivitamin & Mineral & Antioxidant supplement (Pharmaceutical grade). ACV is still better hehe
* Making the renal system alkaline helped. That includes things like Cream of Tartar mixed with juice. Baking soda and water on an empty tummy. Lots of fruit & veg.. etc.
== Things that make it worse ==
** Chocolate! (due to sugar content perhaps?)
** Sugar
** Coffee
* Excessive protein consumption - makes the urine too acidic and my prostate doesn't like it.

01/01/2014Regarding -- combining ACV & molasses --
Yes you can use them together. Tastes even worst in my opinion hehe. I quite like the taste of ACV with fruit juice. And molasses is tolerable when with strong tea.
-- reducing ACV acidity --
I have issues with the strong acidity of ACV when increasing the dose.. it hurts my teeth. So I started adding baking soda and surprisingly it still worked just as well!! I thought maybe it would stop working but all was good :-). Problem with baking soda is it has too much sodium and gives me a headache, so now I am experimenting with calcium carbonate (lime mineral) which is easily found in most (but maybe not all) calcium supplements.

Sorry MT, it should help straight away. If it isn't working in a day or two then I would think this treatment isn't for you :-( Maybe your problem is caused by something different than with me.

03/04/2015Please do not try White Vinegar, it's great to clean with, it is not good to take. You can buy organic unfiltered ACV at any health store. At first it is very harsh to take straight up, you can take it with 8 oz. or so of warm water with honey, the honey will dissolve. Start with a tablespoon and work your way up to 2 tablespoons a day of acv.

Hi there I'm 23 years old , I have been tested for everything regarding my penis and prostate but nothing came up. So the doctor says that I have inflamed prostate and prescribed soem useless medication, what I'm suffering for is that after urinating I drip urine and I have to clean up for a while till I can get dressed again, I also pee a lot and during peeing the stream finishes and then it starts again. Not to mention the times I wake up from my sleep to pee. I took a look at peoples remedies and I found one regarding Apple Cider Vinegar and natural saw palmetto. I was just wondering would this really work and if it does can you pretty please tell me what amount I should use. I'm also suffering from esophagel reflux.

10/18/2013I have similar problems, and can say for certain that this is a pelvic floor dysfunction. I've been working out in the gym for many years and still doing it and this contributed to my pelvic muscle problems.
Of course you don't have to work out to have such problems as well, it's connected to improper sitting poses, general anxiety, that goes along with unconscious muscle clenching. You won't find that information available on regular sites. I came a long way to find, been to many doctors took some medicine and nothing worked, finally discovered this site:
Hard flaccid is a condition of turtling and hardening of ones penis. Fortunately I don't have this, but it is caused by unbalanced and stressed pelvic floor, and general muscle tightness. The same things that cause chronic prostatitis, erection problems and many, many more, even testicular torsion and infertility (testosterone production can be greatly reduced if tight muscles interfere with normal testicular and prostate function) varicoceles (psoas muscle is too tight or overgrown, as some on that site proved and cured their varicocele by physical therapy besides being convinced by doctors to undergo surgery)
People are generally unaware of problems caused by tight muscles, many peoples lives would be much happier if that knowledge was more widespread.
The way to recovery is long and you have to be very dedicated, but it is possible to recover for virtually everyone, I am doing it for two months and already see big improvement in my prostate problems, even my cold hands and feet became warmer recently (impaired muscle function can suppress circulation in the whole body as many experienced on that site)
So firstly I strongly recommend anybody with similar issues read this site thoroughly, take some notes, appoint a meeting to the pelvic floor therapist, start the trigger point release at home, go to yoga classes (it is extremely beneficial in such case especially bikram yoga as muscles loosen up in heat) and work on your body position during sitting, walking etc (yes even our walking patterns can influence pelvic floor) and what is the most important spread the information so more people could heal.
Hey Mustapha!
I have limited knowlege about your condition, however I have studied up some because my dog has BPH.
You may wish to consider stinging nettle; it is proven effective for treating prostatic issues, moreso than saw palmetto. So - FYI/FWIW {for your information/for what its worth}:
[YEA] First - a painless way to take the ACV is in V8 juice. A shot in a glass is actually a nice drink. Having a friend who had prostate issues, I sent him a link to this page and just to try, used ACV in pea soup last night and ---- strange, no urgent need to hit the bathroom this morning. That, following nighly trips there in the last week. Just maybe I'll get around to follow-up posts.
[YEA] I ended up on your site looking for a cure for shingles. I found it and it involved among other things Apple cider vinegar to be ingested and a mix of Aloe vera and crushed cayenne pepper rubbed on the redness which almost instantly brought the blisters to a head. I was done with shingles in about a week. Because of all the testimonials here, I decided to keep on taking the ACV orally 3 times a day. In liquid form or capsules. I realized that my flow of urine got stronger and started to last much longer. I had prostate problems for a few years and I was taking every day some very expensive herbal tea that was working somewhat. I decided to stop the herbal tea and stay on the ACV only. I now pee like a 15 years old and I'm not on any medication. ACV also cured me of my insomnia! Thank you Earth Clinic for such a great site.
[YEA] I recently tried apple cider vinegar and it both helped my erection and helped me stay hard as well as urinary troubles in the morning slow stream of urine to normal. If you could please confirm this with other testamonials would appreciate it. thanks

11/10/2012I have noticed a lot of people aking what dosage of ACV to take.
I use 2 tbls in a glass and add 1/4 teaspoon to it and let it fizz off or rest for 5 minutes or so. This takes the acidic bite out of it. I then add 1/4 glass of flavoured water to get it down with because the taste of the ACV makes me heave. I do this every morning after breakfast except Sat. and Sun. Those two days are under Ted's recomendation to let the body return to its normal state.
Now this has worked well for me for burning hip pain and depression but did nothing for my prostrate infection. A strong anti-biotic knocked that out. I hope this helps .

02/11/2013In regards to all of the gentlemen who are suffering from prostate issues I'm aware the earth clinic is great for using natural cures. For those men and wives who care to do a little research, look into google , check out Roger Mason and his research regarding natural Prostate cures. His research found that conclusively the only people who have prostate issues are men who's testosterone levels are consistently low. It is the testosterone that controls estrogens that run amuk creating the prostate to grow.
If I am not mistaken, Testosterone is measured as "free" levels. One of the problems of aging is the body becomes unable to properly use the Testosterone that's available in the blood and is destroyed by Albumin. The Prostate Gland accumulates Testosterone metabolites and thus becomes inflamed. The herbs Stinging Nettles and Avena Sativa help the body use Testosterone.
For T boosting, in addition to the above herbs, I also take either DHEA or Pregnenalone, Maca, Tribulus terrestris. Horny Goat Weed and Mucuna prurienes is also recommended for T boosting.
[YEA] Apple cider vinager has reduced my acid reflux and the positive proof of killing all of the bacteria in my bladder came from a lab test when I thought I had a prostate infection. The doctor looked at the results and said my urine was so remarkably clean, (without any bacteria) she did not know what I had. Therefore, she sent to urology and it was discovered I had too much acid in my system. Much of it was too much coffee, orange juice and grape juice plus ACV. When cutting back on too much juice, my prostate symtoms were gone in a few days, but the proof of " no bacteria in my bladder" was reason enough to let others know the benefits of AVC. All bladders have ... cells floating around and that causes bladder and kidney infections. AVC can prevent that. DJS

03/11/2013I tried apple cider vinegar and it did help some but made me constipated. Blackstrap molasses also helps some, but not great either. The best thing I have found for prostate is Quercetin along with Pollen extract and Z----d, an herbal formula that supports a healthy inflammatory response. Do a web search or find them at Amazon.com.

08/17/2015Don't understand the constipation bit. ACV is actually suggested as a quick (within 15 minutes) way to get your colon moving stuff out. For all ACV references, you must be using an unfiltered vinegar with the "mother" in it. That is all the sludge you will see at the bottom of the bottle.
[YEA] Cider vinegar sprinkled on raw tomatoes keeps the prostate gland healthy.

[BETTER BUT NOT CURED] Hi,
I've had a swollen prostate for over a year now and I've tried most of the natural remedies, like ACV with bicarb, saw palmetto, willow herb and molasses with bicarb I also take MSM (Organic Sulphur) with vit C (calcium ascorbate) everyday. I am constantly waking throughout the night to urinate from 4 to 6 times a night. None of the above apart from the ACV and bicarb have had any relieving effect.
My problem now is that after I've urinated, for several minutes I have a sort of urinary incontinence not a lot but quite a few drips running down my leg. Do you have any solutions?
Yours Gratefully, Peter
Try the herb Stinging Nettles for awhile, this helps reduce the hormone buildup in the P gland.
What will likely help most will be to clean the Urinary system by taking Crannbery Softgels fallowed by Dr Christopher's Kidney/Bladder formula.
Pumpkin Seeds or Zinc supplementation is a must for Prostate health.
As it is the season, do eat lots of Watermelon to help clear the urine system. Natural diuretics like Coffee & Tea will help.

07/14/2012I was a prostatitis patient for seven years. The prostate expand and pain sharply. My waist pain, dizzy and weak. I had seen many famous doctors in china, had used the microwave, infrared ray scan, acupoint injection, squeeze medicine into anus to cure the disease. But I failed. I had taken many kinds of Chinese herb medicine secret recipe and used many kinds of specific medicine that advertised Chinese medicine from one Chinese prostate hospital medicine every day, it only can relieve my pain, I wasn't cured. Recently, I visited a famous prostate disease research institute. (They said that the cure rate is 85%. ) I was aroused by their method. And I used new cured plan which I synthesized seven years experience. By this way, I was recovered only in one month. All the symptom disappear, and the prostate secretion test wasn't found bacteria. The whole body felt relaxed, the idea of committing suicide all gone. And I felt the life is so beautiful and valuable. It is said that a prolonged illness makes a doctor of patient. When you have this illness, you can learn from experience, and choose the best cured way. Absorb the good points of the every doctors, and create the new way. As a recovered patient, I know the pain of prostatitis patient deeply. So I like to share my experience with the cyber acquaintance.
My cure method include seven parts. (It is specialize in chronic prostatitis. The acute prostatitis is very easy to cure, if you eat portalaca olerrcea for ten some days continuously, you can recover.)
Point and whole synthetical balance treatment:
1. Eat four kinds of nature product every day. Bee honey, royal jelly, bee pollen and propolis. Building up your health, increasing sexual activity and enhancing immunity, etc. Increasing the content of zinc element in prostate. I can guide you how to use them together.
2. Use Chinese medicine powder (involve scolopendra subspinipes mutilans, phellodendron, Chinese schneid, elaphe moellendorffi, etc) Ten kinds of ingredient powder mix a kinds of special vinegar product, external use to cover two acupoints that connect everyday. Prostatitis is so difficult to cure because eating medicine is very difficult permeate prostate. The medicine consistency can't last for a long time. External use covering acupoints can effect the prostate all the time and maintained high consistency.
3. Take a Chinese herb medicine prescription everyday. This prescription can attack prostate and kill the germ in urinary organ. But the medicine will not sap your vitality. There isn't side effect. I can provide this prescription.
4. Boil some Chinese medicine, pour into a basin, and sit on the basin' s medical water for ten minutes before bath every day. So the medicine can kill germ in urethra and scrotum, effect to prostate directly. The medicine won't be absorbed by intestines and stomach. There is no side effect. I can provide the prescription.
5. Practice Qi Gong (a system of deep breathing exercise) I can guide you to practice. Stimulate the circulation of the blood and cause the muscles and joints to relax. Increase immunity, impact the focus. This kinds of Qi Gong is very safe and there is no deviation. But you can't practice other kinds of Qi Gong freely, because some kinds of Qi Gong aren't corresponding to prostatitis.
6. Use K-01 prostate rehabilitator for half an hour when you go to bed every day. K�01 prostate rehabilitator is a help-yourself physiotherapy apparatus which cures BPH. Employing the alternative operation of the high frequency non-thermal effect and magnetic kick. It serves to diminish inflammation, relieve pain, destroy harmful microorganisms, improve local micro-blood circulation and is very effective in curing frequent micuition, urgency of urination, painful urinary stuttering, and dysuria caused by prostatitis. It only need to put it on perineum.
7. No smoking (If you can't stop, try not to smoke so much ). Stop drinking, stop piquancy foods (such as capsicum, ginger, garlic, pepper, etc), stop eating fried foods, bacon, and flame broiled meat. (because the temperature is about 300 celsius degree, so the protein had been denaturalization, the protein had been hot. If you cook it by water, the temperature will not exceed 100 celsius degree. If you use the micro-wave oven to cook the meat, the temperature will exceed 100 celsius degree too, so it is hot. ) Stop eating chanticleer, dog, pig's knuckle, donkey, tortoise, cow, sheep, ginseng, pilose antler, Equus asinus L, longan, lichee, bamboo shoot, onion, mushroom (mushroom kinds of food will cause prostate swell), areca and all the sea and river animal (such as fish, tortoise, shrimp, crab, etc). Stop eating all the hot chinese medicine. After you recover, you have to continue to stop eating these food for 3 months, in order to solidify. This is the whole body treatmnet, regard the whole body's the former feminine and negative, don't eat the food that make against prostatitis recovered. The foods that I suggest you eating is : (1) You can eat meat involve the pig's muscle, heart, kidney, lung, tongue, stomach, the duck, the chicken and hen, egg, the quail, the pigeon, the snake, the cat, milk, animal blood (after boiling). (2)Vegetable: except the leek, the cushaw, the onion, the aubergine, the bamboo shoot and the garlic, you can eat all the others vegetable. (3) Fruit: except the lichee, the longan, the mango, the durian and the tree pineapple, you can eat all the others fruit. (4)All the corn and the legume foods can be eated. Such as cereals, rice, potato, pasta, sugar and tea can be eaten. But the coffee and chocolate is a little hot. The sea animals can't be eated, but the sea plants can be eated, such as the kelp and the laver can be eated. (5)Bread in particular is cooked at a high temperature by baking, but the bread primary ingredient is amylum, amylum is not easy to change into hot food in high temperature, and the protein is easy change into to hot food in high temperature. If the bread is not very burnt, so you can eat the bread. If the bread is very burnt (such as it it had been black), it will be hot food too. (6) Do some cooking method: when you cook rice, pork, etc, you have to pour water to boil, the water is boil at 100 celsius degree, the temperature won't above 100 celsius degree. If you boil with heavy-fisted boiler, there are so much water in it, although the temperature is above 100 degree, the protein will not change its quality. Protein is easy be burnt in high and dry condition, if the meat turn black and yellow, it must be hot food, such as barbecue chicken. If you stir-fry the pork by plant oil, because the oil is under the pork, the oil can suffer very high temperature and won't change its quality, so the oil protect the pork not to change its quality. Such as you can stir-fry the vegetable with peanut butter. You can make a stew with chicken, rice and vegetables. The oil can suffer very high temperature and never change its quality, the amylum take second place suffer temperature, such as you can eat the hamburger (the bread main component is amylum), but if the bread had been baked to black, it will be hot food too. And the protein can't suffer high temperature without water, such as you bake the chicken, the protein is easy change its quality. Peanut oil, olive oil, canola oil, soybean oil, palm fruit, can be eaten with do some cooking.
The treatment of prostatitis is a difficult problem, in the world. If the patient can do the seven part that I summarized and undergone experience in seven years, the patient can recover in one or two months.
The modern science can fly to space, array gene, but can't deal with prostatitis. There is a strong membrane wrap up prostate. If the germ infect it, it is a garden of eden for germ. All the antibiotic can't kill germ in prostate thoroughly. And the germ is easy to resistant antibiotic. With the science develop, suppose the patient can be freezing to �10 degree for some days, and rise the temperature to bring back the patient to life. The germ had been killed by the low temperature. So it can cure the prostatitis quickly. But now, the prostatitis patients have to use the seven part of Chinese medicine "point and whole symthetical balance treatment" to cure. I think, except the patient who have other serious disease and suffer from general debility, every body can recover. Others BPH (Benign Enlargement of the Prostate) is easier to cure. You can according to the "point and whole synthetical balance treatment". There is no side effect in the way. I am an English teacher in Gao Zhou Normal College of China. So it is very convenient for me communicate with you in English. If you need help and more detail, you can send an E-mail to me, drop me a line, or telephone me.

Showing Writers the Money
Local Theater Festival Will Not Attempt to Share in Artists' Future Profits
After a public squabble with the playwriting community, the New York Musical Theatre Festival has backed off its attempt to stake a greater financial claim to shows that go on to become hits elsewhere.
Earlier this year, the six-year-old festival attempted to change its contract with writers so that the organization could share in the authors' revenues if shows that began at the festival went on to successful stage or screen productions. After hearing about the move, the Dramatists Guild of America sent emails to its members criticizing the contract change. In a blog post, Jason Robert Brown, the composer and lyricist who was last on Broadway in 2008-09 with "13," accused the festival of "detestable practices and abuses."
But a spokesman for the NYMF, Keith Sherman, said Mr. Brown's blog post "misrepresented all the facts" and ignored the event's goal of helping young writers get their work seen. Mr. Brown declined to comment further on the dispute.
The NYMF's executive director, Isaac Robert Hurwitz said he tabled the idea of tapping into a show's future revenue stream after many emerging playwrights came under "intense pressure" from established writers urging them not to sign the contracts.
"The last thing I wanted was for these writers who had already arranged to work with us to be in any way perceived in a negative light as a result," Mr. Hurwitz said.
The fight comes at a time when playwrights are battling for the ability to make more money from their shows. Earlier this year, the Public Theater and the Roundabout Theatre Company changed their policies to allow writers to retain a greater share of revenues from future use of their work. Guild executive director Ralph Sevush said NYMF organizers would have been "pariahs in the business" had their efforts succeeded.
Mr. Hurwitz noted that the event does more than simply present the musicals: It spends about $28,500 for the technical and marketing elements of each production. Staff, administrative overhead and other services, he added, can push the funding closer to $100,000 per show.
"Next to Normal," which ran at the event in 2005 under the title "Feeling Electric," debuted on Broadway last year and is still running. According to Mr. Hurwitz, the festival could have made up to $80,000 from the musical after its first year on Broadway had it been able to share in the success.
Daryl Lisa Fazio, who wrote the book and lyrics for "POPart: The Musical," which will play at this year's NYMF, said the event will be her first big break. Initially, she signed a version of the contract that included the contentious provision. Later, she was relieved when it was removed. "I guess I felt blindsided by it," she said. "I understand the reality of where (the festival organizers) are coming from. What they're trying to do takes a lot of resources, and those are hard to come by right now."

Rear slap gets ex-NFL star C. Johnson 30 days jail

A plea deal that called for no jail time fell apart Monday, June 10, 2013 in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. (Photo by Jeff Daly/Invision/AP, File)
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — Former NFL star Chad Johnson was sentenced Monday to 30 days in jail for a probation violation in a domestic violence case by a judge who angrily rejected a no-jail plea deal after Johnson playfully slapped his attorney on the backside in court.
Johnson, known as Chad Ochocinco for his jersey number in Spanish during his playing days, had reached a deal with prosecutors calling for community service and counseling instead of jail. Broward County Circuit Judge Kathleen McHugh said she would tack on an additional three months' probation because Johnson had failed to meet with his probation officer during three previous months.
It was all set until Johnson, when asked by McHugh if he was satisfied with his lawyer Adam Swickle, gave the attorney a light swat on the rear — as football players routinely do to each other on the field. The courtroom erupted in laughter and at that McHugh said she wouldn't accept the deal.
"I don't know that you're taking this whole thing seriously. I just saw you slap your attorney on the backside. Is there something funny about this?" McHugh said, slapping the plea deal document down on her desk. "The whole courtroom was laughing. I'm not going to accept these plea negotiations. This isn't a joke."
Johnson, 35, tried to apologize and insisted he meant no disrespect. Johnson was on probation after pleading no contest to head-butting his then-wife, TV reality star Evelyn Lozada, during an altercation last August. She quickly filed for divorce after barely a month of marriage and Johnson, a six-time Pro Bowl wide receiver, was immediately released by the Miami Dolphins. He didn't play at all last season.
"This is your courtroom. I have no intent to make this a joke. It's not funny," Johnson told the judge "My life is in a shambles right now and I try my best to laugh and keep a smile on my face."
But McHugh, who could have given Johnson up to a year in jail, was not moved.
"It's not the first time he's behaved that way in my courtroom," she said.
Johnson then was handcuffed and hauled away to jail. Swickle declined comment on whether he would ask the judge to reduce her sentence.
Hours later, Johnson sent out a tweet on his verified Twitter account: "Love me through the good and the bad because I'm gone love you regardless ... See you in 30."

Hi there, wonder if you could help me resolve a concerning issue. My steering wheel suddenly feels really light, it feels like when I turn right or left but especially right, I dont have control of the turn as the steering is almost unfeelable. Yesterday, I turned right out of a slight hill junction and the car did a complete half turn heading me into the other side of road, I managed to control the vehicle and get it facing the way I was going and stopped on the side of the road to calm down! Had the wheels aligned that afternoon and although three tyres were out, I was told that wouldnt have caused that. Perhaps you can help! Thanks

A Jerk Ass with zero redeeming features.Tropeworthy? Motion To Discard Motion To Discard Motion To Discard Motion To Discard Motion To Discard Already have? Motion To Discard
Sometimes a jerk with a bad attitude will be shown to not have a bad heart deep down when you scratch past the surface. Other times a jerk will be an unpleasent asshole to the core, but not always nessecarily a terrible person and will occasionally Pet the Dog, though sometimes might just revoke it later. However, some jerks just go all out in being hateful, unscrupulous, and mean spirited bullies and do not show a trace of true decency in their actions and behaviour. This is the Jerk Ass taken Up to Eleven: an unrepentent Jerk Ass with no qualms, no shame, and no redeeming qualities. On the sliding scale of dickery, this character comes right between a regular standard Jerk Ass and a Complete Monster. This person is the Perfect Asshole. The Perfect Asshole is never kidding around in his or her jerkishness, even if the work is lighthearted or comedic. These guys have no Jerk Justifications about what they say and do: they will use, abuse, and put down others for self-centered reasons, or for no reason at all other than for kicks. Their Lack of Empathy for anyone who's not them or in any way connected to them makes it impossible for them to display any acts of kindness. Instead, they will kick dogs and then Kick Them While They Are Down. It might even be that they enjoy this cruelty at the expense of others. In short, this is the worst kind of person you could hope not to deal with in regular life. Trope name comes from Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, where Wallace Wells says the line "What a perfect asshole" in reference to Gideon Graves, the Big Bad. Please note that a Perfect Asshole must not show any behaviour that could be considered in any way "positive." The character will never Pet the Dog, will rarely ever have a point on something, cannot be considered a Jerk Ass Woobie, will never have a Jerk Ass Realization, and nobody would ever want this jerk back. This is Exactly What It Says on the Tin: the character is perfect at being a total asshole. May or may not be a villain. Can sometimes be a Jerk with a Heart of Jerk, The Sociopath, or a Complete Monster depending on how the work's narrative choses to portray the jerk in question. See also Hate Sink.

Respond to Review of Maitrea
by Chester Dave
Review: We ate at its sister establishment (Clear Head) the previous day and we were so impressed that we reserved a table for the evening. We ate in the downstairs area, which is lovely, the food and service were both good and the staff were lovely. We have no hesitation in recommending this place. This restaurant gets very busy so it is wise to book in advance.

Needlesstosay, Ive and his work has had an incredible impact on our everyday lives. This new biography, written by Cult of Mac editor Leander Kahney, attempts to capture his story, drawing on interviews with former classmates, co-workers, design team members, teachers, and acquaintances of Ive – the famously very publicly-shy designer. From his recruitment to Apple, the evolution of the Industrial Design group, and details on the groundbreaking products for which his team is responsible, the book is a never-before-seen look into the inner workings of Apple. Given the fact that the book didn't come with cooperation from Ive or Apple, you probably won't get a more detailed look into this piece of modern history than if you read Ive's own diary.

Apple valued at record $621 billion
On Monday, its surging stock propelled the company's value to $621 billion, beating the record for market capitalization set by Microsoft Corp. in the heady days of the Internet boom.
Apple's stock has hit new highs recently because of optimism around what is believed to be the impending launch of the iPhone 5, and possibly a smaller, cheaper iPad.
Apple Inc. has been the world's most valuable company since the end of last year. It's now worth 53 percent more than No. 2 Exxon Mobil Corp.
The comparison to Microsoft does not take inflation into account. In inflation-adjusted dollars, the software giant was worth about $850 billion on Dec. 30, 1999. Microsoft is now worth $257 billion.

Last minute tax changes
by AuntieD , 04/29/2008
As part owner in a small software company, being the consummate professional is priority one for me. With the 4/15 deadline fast approaching, a relentless travel schedule, and a last minute unexpected change to my K1, Alan Williamson and team not only reprocessed my return at the last minute, but did it within my time constraints. Literally, I was picking up the return, signing in the car, dropping in the mailbox, and dashing for the airport. Without this level of professionalism and flexibility, I would have been forced to file an extension, incurring additional penalties and interest. I highly recommend Williamson & CO for all your tax needs.
Taxes Stress me out!
by damit janet , 04/03/2008
I was dreading to do our taxes this year because I needed to find a new accountant and did not know where to start. I asked a friend where she had her taxes done and she referred me to Williamson and Company. I am very thankful. I walked into the office late. Was greated with a no problem and a smile. Then I met Katie who walked me thru the forms and made me realize that I should not have friends do our taxes. She explained to me options on how to get my taxes reduced in the future. She also made me feel like I was her only client, knowing she is probably helping many more like me. Next year I will not be stressed come tax time, knowing that Katie and Williamson and company will take care of me.
What a Relief
by showgirl , 09/18/2007
The firm and it's staff were so helpful in answering my questions and getting my documents in order. I always file late and this firm automatically processed the extension for my returns. They even sent me a notice that I needed to get my documents in for filing since the deadline was quickly approaching. I will certainly return next year and will reccommend them to my friends and family.######If you need an experienced Accounting firm...give them a call!

Broken collarbone and associated shoulder trauma
I'm not a doctor but…
Cycling injury, recovery and health issues.
Forum rules

Re: Broken collarbone and associated shoulder trauma
Thanks Jules21. Do you still have pain from it all has that all gone
Re: Broken collarbone and associated shoulder trauma
pretty much pain free. after surgery, you'll get a lot of mild pain from scar tissue but that dissipates over time. that pain doesn't compare to dislocating it of course.
Re: Broken collarbone and associated shoulder trauma
Did a number on my collarbone on my buck's night a week before our wedding. Surgeon said he preferred not to operate on shoulders as they often get infected, but mine was a displaced fracture so it needed pinning. Waited another very uncomfortable 2 days until the stream of critically injured MVA's allowed some theater time. What a relief it was to get it pinned - was getting better by the day - until the infection set in.
Got married on the Saturday, by Monday felt like death. Went to the hospital every day that week telling them it wasn't right. I was septic, between that and the narcotic analgesia I could hardly feel my feet on the ground when I walked. On Thursday they finally realised the swelling was so bad that the end of one of the pins was no longer visible. Back into hospital, IV antibiotics and second surgery on Monday.
From there all went pretty well. Had the remaining pin out about 5-6 weeks later. Some very intensive physio, and I was back at work. Within a few months I had "full" range of movement (will never get %100 back, but only notice the [slightly] reduced ROM when doing some stretching exercises) and within 18 months had most or all of my strength back in that shoulder / arm.
My wife has banned me from quad bikes...
I guess you need to give it some time for the bones to knit, then go all out with flexibility / ROM excercises. As soon as you get good / full ROM, start the strength exercises. For me that was just working with my wife's dumbells while sitting on the couch watching telly. Light weights and to begin with could only do 10-20 reps. Was soon doing several hundred reps.
Busted shoulders are a b***ard, but you will get better.
Re: Broken collarbone and associated shoulder trauma
I'm glad to say jules that it appears my physio is not one of "them". I was in to see him for my monthly torture session on Saturday, and he was telling me about a couple of guys who'd come in with football injuries to the shoulder and were beyond his help. They were despatched to see surgeons.
Mine's coming good, slowly. Now 14 months post-op. Riding is good - no issues there with strength. I haven;t been doing nearly enough swimming the last few months due to work pressures, but got a session in Friday and was able to do 8-900m no problems pretty much non-stop in the 25m lap pool.
I'm as slow as a wet week of course after so much time out of the water, but the highlight was being able to do at least 1 lap in 4 freestyle with no impingement. The only downside is my breathing action isn't quite the same on each side due to restricted range of movement with the left shoulder. I believe that will come with time in the water.
Swimming - breaststroke in paricular - is my surgeon's favourite remedial exercise. I'm supposed to do 20 minutes 3 times a week.
When all else fails, persistence prevails -- Lew Hollander
Re: Broken collarbone and associated shoulder trauma
good to hear TG. the downside of surgery is a long recovery period. i was given one of those elastic cords to pull on for strengthening. i imagine swimming is also good, although i am hopeless at it.
i've never broken a bone, but i can assure you guys ligament tears are also a major PITA.
Re: Broken collarbone and associated shoulder trauma
Add me to the club, hopefully wont need surgery but from what the doc told me last night I prob will.
Pretty devastating as I cant do anything or get anywhere with a busted shoulder. Cant even open a beer!

TWDB to hold public meeting on water funding rules
Public can weigh in on draft rules
SAN ANGELO, Texas - The Texas Water Development Board — the agency developing rules on state funds for water projects — will hold a public work session in San Angelo.
The session, which will give the public an opportunity to comment on the draft rules for the State Water Implementation Fund for Texas, or SWIFT, is scheduled for 10 a.m. Wednesday at the McNease Convention Center, 501 Rio Concho Drive.
The rules will define standards for rural, conservation and reuse projects as well as prioritization criteria for projects seeking SWIFT assistance, according to a TWDB news release. The board also will consider giving financial assistance to water and wastewater improvement projects.
TWDB representatives also will give an update on drought conditions across Texas and an overview of the State Water Plan interactive website, according to the release.
Interested stakeholders or residents who are unable to attend Wednesday's work session can submit public comments by emailing email@example.com or online at twdb.texas.gov/swift/form/index.asp.
The formal comment period for SWIFT rules is open until Sept. 1.

|SCI-Arc Learning Objectives (Rubrics)
|Student Performance Criteria (NAAB Specific Educational Goals)
|SCI-Arc Learning Objectives
1. SCI-Arc's pedagogy emphasizes active engagement in the world-at-large, and the production of works that matter — globally, locally, and within the city and community.
Mechanisms for delivery
• Studio projects on programming, urban contexts, low-income assistance and international settings.
• Coursework exams, papers and assignments, required in undergraduate Humanities and both undergraduate and graduate Urban Studies courses.
• SCI-Arc Public Programs.
• SCI-Arc Lecture Series.
• Student participation in gallery exhibitions, and cooperative exhibitions in various cities, from Los Angeles to Venice, Italy.
• International network of exchange programs with preeminent architectural institutions in countries around the world including Japan, India, Vienna, England, Australia, Mexico and France.
• Upper level studios and elective seminars that are taught within a travel format and deployed in economically-depressed areas (e.g. Rio, Mumbai, Baja).
Assessment tools
• School wide discussion at Academic Council meetings related to committee activities and responsibilities.
• Student achievement in studio projects and coursework.
• Student participation in public programs, exchange programs and exhibitions.
• Active involvement by a diverse, professional faculty invited from all over the world to serve on jury reviews, deliver lectures, hold exhibitions and teach select studios and seminars.
• Undergraduate and graduate Curriculum Committees monitor levels of public engagement in the core requirements, and regularly suggest immediate methods for delivery of engagement rubric.
2. SCI-Arc emphasizes a pedagogy that seeks a synthesis in the education of the architect: to employ different modes of thinking across different fields of knowledge.
Mechanisms for delivery
• Core and advanced level studio projects.
• Core coursework, exams, papers and assignments.
• Portfolio requirement.
• Thesis requirement.
• Hybrid and fluid courses, interdisciplinary and inter-university courses.
• Routine subject matter distribution in each semester of the core from the knowledge areas of Design Studio, Applied Studies, Visual Studies and Cultural Studies.
Assessment tools
• Jury reviews assure student competency in oral and graphic presentation of analytical, critical and conceptual thinking. Juries are comprised of invited guests uniquely capable of interacting with and evaluating students on the particular subject matter of each studio, due to their demonstrated academic and/or professional competence.
• Ongoing evaluation of coursework both in-class and in Curriculum Committees demonstrates developing skills in writing, drawing, documenting and producing innovative work in architecture and the city.
• Knowledge areas of Applied Technological Studies, Visual Studies and Cultural/Critical Studies are overseen by three program coordinators. These coordinators, through feedback provided by course syllabi, student progress and evaluations raised by the Curriculum Committees are responsible for promoting fluidity and synthesis.
• Studio walk-throughs are conducted every semester by the program director, the three program coordinators and the members of the Curriculum Committees, assuring communication among course materials and concepts both vertically and horizontally. Opportunities for synthesis across each semesters courses are discussed, strategized and organized immediately following the walk-through.
• Regular reviews of student portfolios and theses allow for insights into student competency of the synthesis rubric. It is the nature of these assignments to demand argumentation in graphic and written format, and conceptualizations that critically introduce different modes of thinking to normative paradigms. All yearly portfolio and major thesis reviews are followed by public panel discussions of strengths and weaknesses in synthesis.
3. SCI-Arc emphasizes the making of architecture — from conceptual design work to fabrication and construction, including printed and digital matter.
Mechanisms for delivery
• Courses in Professional Development and Technology are required in both core programs.
• Studio requirements for drawings, renderings, models, conceptual art, short films, animations, clothing and furniture design in core studios.
• Student participation in gallery and public exhibitions, as well as public programs.
• Constant engagement of individuals with demonstrated expertise in advanced production methods to teach studios, seminars and participate in jury reviews.
• Thesis requirements for material representations of argument.
• Portfolio requirement for the making of the portfolio book.
Assessment tools
• The rubric of making is overseen generally by the Curriculum Committees, and is regularly evaluated by the studio walk-through method, in which material projects are publicly displayed and discussed, or by administrative participation in jury reviews.
• The rubric of making is overseen specifically by the Technology Committee, comprised of the program coordinator of Applied Studies, Design Studio and Visual Studies instructors, and the shop coordinator. The Technology Committee evaluates technological obsolescence and overuse and makes recommendations for change and availability.
• Portfolio and thesis reviews are regarded as regular opportunities to evaluate student capabilities in making. Public panel discussions following yearly portfolio reviews and major thesis reviews address strengths and weaknesses in the rubric of making.

Interactive film festival programme
For this project commissioned by the
Festival we were asked to create an interactive and intuitive version of the festival programme on large touchscreens.
All the shorts films were given their own identity by generating unique slitscans from the movie's frames. This method gives the viewer an impression of the length, colors and atmosphere of the film.
The programme consists of movies grouped in themed blocks. By layering all the slitscans for every block it's easy to get an overview of the atmosphere of the complete block without having to leave the main interface layer. If you are interested in a block it's just a matter of tapping the block and all the movies will pop out.
Introduction to swarm intelligence
Simple algorithm for crowd simulation inspired by praying muslims at the Tahrir Square in Egypt. After seeing these beautiful patterns emerge from thousands of people simultaneously performing a single ritual I was interested in figuring out how these patterns developed.
As seen in the image above the praying people align themselves relative to each other forming wavy rows. These rows diverge and different rows begin to form in between those rows. This algorithm is a study into trying to dissect this behavior into simple rules. Once all rules are defined we can start simulating agents that follow those rules.
Rules derived from the picture above:
Agents can only only be placed relative to another agent (cohesion)
Agents prefer to be placed alongside each other to form rows. Only a small percentage of agents gets placed above or below their spawn point (forming rows)
The orientation of agents is slightly offsetted from their neighbors (wavy rows instead of straight lines)
The video above shows a debug view of the simulation. Red areas around agents mean that there's room for another agent in that direction. This information is used for rule 1 and 2.
Through the simulation of hundreds of extremely simple agents seemingly complex behavior can simulated. As seen from the final result below: agents match the behavior of the people seen in the picture.
Future energy bill
A concept for a future global energy management scenario where every city generates it's own electricity. If the city has overcapacity it can distribute to the 10 nearest cities to catch spikes. Cities can also request power from neighboring cities if their own demand exceeds their own supply. By linking cities around the globe we end up with a decentralized free-flowing energy distribution system that can absorb outages and other catastrophes.
I developed an application to see the concept in action. The gray band moving from right to left represents the day/night cycle. At daytime a city will consume more power and when night falls the consumption will decrease. You can zoom and pan on the map. Space toggles a world map (internet connection required).

UNESCO world heritage sites
A geographical guide through UNESCO's extensive
list of world heritage sites
While researching UNESCO's list it appeared that a lot of world heritage sites are related to other geographical features. As an example the "Frontiers of the Roman Empire" was listed as a single coordinate. However it's description is referring to 10 different locations all around Europe. By showing all of these locations a much better impression of the actual scale and size can be given.
After finding a large number of sites that were in need of multiple geographic references this interactive map was born.

Bittorrent visualized
This project aims to explain the inner workings of the BitTorrent protocol. When you create a torrent from files those files get chopped up in to a hundreds of chunks. Those chunks are distributed across all peers that are downloading the same file. Because the torrent's contents are scattered across all downloaders your computer has to request and reassemble all these chunks back into the original files.
With this installation I'm visualizing the whole process behind downloading a torrent. All the peers—people downloading the same torrent— are displayed on a world map. All chunks—a small part of the torrent's contents—are displayed on a big computer screen. Any connection that transmits data between the peer and the computer is represented by a line from the peer's location to the actual chunk that's being downloaded.
The video below is an impression of the installation in action. This work was on display at the ArtEZ 2012 graduation show.

Particle faces
A small project I did for our graduation show. I've used 3d models scanned from my fellow student's faces to create a 3d point cloud viewer. We used this program to display our portraits in a fresh, unconventional new way.
The final result is a projection that was installed at wall of our graduation show.
A day in the life of an AOL user
In 2006 AOL accidentally released a text file containing twenty million search keywords for over 650,000 users over a 3-month period. The data was anonymized however the queries were accompanied by a unique numerical ID.
All the search queries in this project originate from one single user. I've collected all his search queries and categorized his queries in 8 categories. Because this user is very verbose we get a pretty good insight in what is going on in his life. He's dealing with a sagging roof, he has some problems with an inheritance, copd, his sick dog and a bunch of other things.
I've created an interactive calendar where you can read all of his questions on a chronological timeline. Enable or disable highlighting of categories to follow different story lines.

You know what's funny? I just looked up her political affiliation. Democrat. Ha. I'm sure that won't be printed in any of the articles talking about this n-word gem that (allegedly) came out of her stupid mouth.
BTW I live in Georgia and racism is NOT the norm. There's one known racist in our neighborhood of ~200 famililes and he's openly disliked by most people for his views. Funny how stereotypes are not magically always true!
