Cupping is a part of Chinese Medicine, effective for treating pain, stress and depression. Cupping is also very effective as detox treatment. Cupping is especially powerful when combined with massage or acupuncture. Treatment is performed by a fully qualified CMIR-registered doctor with extensive Western medical training.
The cupping treatment at AcuMedic in London includes:
1. A full Chinese medical diagnosis with personalised lifestyle advice.
2. A session of cupping therapy.
Cupping can be effectively used to stimulate movement of blood, lymph fluids and the essential Qi energy in the body. Since many types of illness, stress and pain are caused by blockages or stagnation in the circulation of these fluids and Qi, cupping therapy often becomes an essential part of the treatment programme. For example, cupping therapy is used to treat all kinds of muscle pain, stress, and to help clear congestion after a cold or flu.
Chinese medicine believes that illness, stress and pain can be caused by a blockage or stagnation of blood, lymph fluids and vital energy (known as Qi). So for example, back pain may be caused by bad posture which means that your Qi energy and fluids can't flow properly through that area and begin to stagnate. Cupping is used to stimulate movement of these fluids and Qi, to get your body back on track.
Cupping has been practised for thousands of years and is being practised around the world since its origins 5,000 years go in China. Usually it is combined with Chinese Tuina massage and acupuncture as part of Chinese medicine. The cupping therapy consists of creating a vacuum in several glass cups and applying them to the skin. This causes a suction sensation which stimulates energy and blood flow and can draw out toxins and activate the lymphatic system. Cupping is used for the relief of pain, stress, detox and weight control.
Cupping therapy involves placing cups on the relevant part of the body with the aim to create a vacuum inside each cup. The vacuum causes a suction sensation which stimulates the flows of Qi and body fluids. The improved flows can drive toxins out of the body and unblock stagnation, hence immediate relief of pain and stress.

The authentic Spanish setting in Pradera Tapas Bar lend additional authenticity to the already vibrant tapas experience. It lacks some of the pomp and pretentiousness that some tapas bars have become associated with. With plenty of both vegetarian and meat tapas selections everyone can be happy here.more
We went there on a Sunday night and the atmosphere was lovely. Ordered a bottle of 2001 Tempranillo @ 20.50. Bargain.
the waitress was very pleasant and they actually came twice to offer us a drink, mistake that is actually a good mistake ;-)
Got our tapas which were really delicious! Then we had the crema catalana but i was a bit disappointed as the caramel on top was rather thick and...more
Tapas apparently originated as small plates of food designed to be eaten with a drink - a system put in place by one of the Spanish Kings to stop his subjects from getting too trashed when they were out of an evening/morning/afternoon.
These days in the UK we tend to eat a wide selection of tapas as dinner, rather than as a bar snack. Whilst this is not quite the original idea, for those of...more

This is the fourth post in a regular series to recap interesting articles, posts and other happenings in the EF world.
Since our last EF Links post we announced the availability of EF6 Alpha 3. Of particular note, this preview introduced support of mapping to insert/update/delete stored procedures with Code First and connection resiliency to automatically recover from transient connection failures
There were a number of blog posts about new features coming in EF6:
We also shared some changes we are planning to make to custom conventions to improve this new feature. These changes will be included in a future preview.
Julie Lerman appeared on Visual Studio Toolbox sharing Entity Framework tips and tricks. She also released a Getting Started with Entity Framework 5 course on Pluralsight
Rowan Miller published a two part series about extending and customizing Code First models at runtime (Part 1, Part 2).
We announced Beta 3 of the EF Power Tools. We also shared plans to provide a single set of tooling for EF, which means we won't be releasing an RTM version of the Power Tools. However, we will continue to maintain Beta releases of the Power Tools until the functionality becomes available in a pre-release version of the primary EF tooling.

2003 Ford Explorer SUV XLT Sport Rwd 4dr SUV (4.0L 6cyl 5A)
Considering I've got 127,000 miles and looking back over the last 7 years of ownership I would have to say I've been somewhat pleases with this car. Unfortunately I'm having both front wheel bearing done now plus brakes and I'll be out $1500. The rear end whines horribly and you can't hear anyone talking but I'm not paying for the repair. Others have done it and problem returned. At least my tailgate cracked in warranty and they replaced it 4 times but it cracked again and I'm stuck with it now. I managed to keep a spare but won't bother putting it on. I'll need ball joints soon too. It's only worth $3500 on a trade so I'll hang on but no more new cars for me. Just not worth it.
Love the premium sound system and handles nice. Easy to see out of and comfortable.
Rear tailgate should have been a recall. I think the tailgate is not seated properly but newer Fords have been redesigned. Wonder why? The rear end is horrible and that seems to be the nature of the beast for many owners.
I purchased this vehicle with 56k and it now has 62k and so far no problems. The thrid row seat is actually usable and provides more room than a family members 04 tahoe. Great handling and mpg on the hwy and decent city milage. I take very good care of my explorer and I also expect nothing less than great reliablity, I am not rough but not easy on my explorer. As long as you follow the recomended services then the explorer will provide you with a long life.
The black interior which is rare for the 2003 model year. The premium sound system, a usable third row seats, great handling for an suv and a strong engine.
Tailgate cracks on most explorer, has yet to happen to mind because I close the hatch by pressing on the wiper. Also another improvement is the window assembly doesnt seem to be very tough. All in all it is a sold suv.
Recently I upgraded to a Ford Explorer
Xlt Sport from a 2000 Mustang. I have
two highschool teens and the Mustang
just wasn't big enough for thier busy
life style. Just was never enough room
for friends. We live in the Bay area
and I can't begin to tell you how much
fun we've had in the sporty
Explorer.Sunsets are fun you can pop
the back open & sit & see everything.
It,s alot more comfortable with the
leather bucket seats with the warmers
riding to Reno too. It's definately a
great family choice. It costs more in
gas but it dosen't even bother me
because it's just such a great fit for
the whole family.
The tilt steering wheel. The saat
warmers in the winter. The leather
bucket seats & the rear window wiper.
Better speakers .
My wife and I have taken three trips
with vehicle and think that it is
perfect.It has ample room in back for
our 12volt Fridg.and the dog.Seats are
comfortable we like to drive.
290watt 6CD indash
why buy a copy when you can buy the
real thing.

is not difficult for a layperson, an everyday American, to understand what
"public use" means in the context of one of the state's most extreme powers—the
power to take your property by eminent domain.
a public use? People know it when they see it.
That's why post-Kelo polling showed extreme antipathy, across the political
spectrum, for the 2005 Supreme Court ruling, which, on the face of it very well
reaches the conclusion that as long as some public benefit is described in the
name the of eminent domain…then government seizure of private property is
43 states have reformed their eminent domain laws. New York, as the Wall Street
Journal so ironically put it, has been a holdout from
those reforms. Notoriously dysfunctional Albany has barely put the issue on its
radar. That's why the first post-Kelo public use case to make it to New York State's
high court, which was argued on October 14th, is so important.
Without legislative protections the court is the last place for New Yorkers to
gain some semblance of assurance that their home is not just some placeholder
ripe for plucking when the state thinks some "benefit" may accrue from its
of now, though, there is basically no protection for property owners and
tenants in New York. If a condemning authority, such as the Empire State
Development Corporation, or New York City's Economic Development Corporation,
staples together enough pieces of paper that make speculative claims about some
amorphous "public benefits"—then your home will become theirs to transfer to
private developers for their enrichment.
is the case with the use of eminent domain for the Brooklyn Atlantic Yards
project, which is what the Court is now considering. If public use can mean public "benefit," then it can
literally mean whatever the state wants it to mean, and leads to the
non-rhetorical question: What isn't a public use?
Right now, the answer is unknown. We need some clarity. Most observers wouldn't
consider luxury condominiums and a privately owned basketball arena with
lucrative naming rights accruing solely to the arena developer to be a public
the October 14th oral
argument on the Atlantic Yards case, Goldstein et al. v ESDC et al., there was the following
key exchange between Judge Robert Smith and Philip Karmel, the attorney for the
New York State.
Smith asked, "Is it the law of New York that if I own a house in an area that
the government thinks could be improved, a perfectly nice house, it's a clean
house, nothing particularly wrong with the area, but it could be better, more
vibrant, more dynamic businesses, is that enough for the government to [condemn
and seize] the house?"
answered, "Under New York State constitutional law, yes, it is."
So, is that really public use?
Court of Appeals exchange is reminiscent of the most memorable exchange in the Kelo Supreme Court argument,
now used as a touchstone for the perverted way in which eminent domain is
abused across the country. Former Justice Sandra Day O'Connor asked, "For
example, Motel 6 and the city thinks, well, if we had a Ritz-Carlton, we would
have higher taxes. Now, is that okay?
of New London Attorney Wesley Horton replied, much like Karmel, "Yes, Your
Honor. That would be okay. I -- because otherwise you're in the position of
drawing the line. I mean, there is, there is a limit. I mean – "
that is the point.
A line must be drawn, whether by the courts when the legislature is
unresponsive, or by a functional legislature. If no line is drawn, then the
Fifth Amendment of the Constitution, and the takings clause of New York's
Constitution—that private property can be taken for a "public use"—become dead
the Kelo
Court's ruling came down, O'Connor's blistering dissent concluded:
Court rightfully admits, however, that the judiciary cannot get bogged down in
predictive judgments about whether the public will actually be better off after
a property transfer. In any event, this constraint has no realistic import. For
who among us can say she already makes the most productive or attractive
possible use of her property? The specter of condemnation hangs over all
property. Nothing is to prevent the State from replacing any Motel 6 with a
Ritz-Carlton, any home with a shopping mall, or any farm with a factory.
that specter remain in New York when its high court rules, or will New York's
citizens regain reasonable protection from government theft of homes or
know soon.

Holy drive train batman. Usually you use chainring + transfer to eliminate chain growth...what the heck is all this about.
Oh and its fugly too
arent gear boxes supposed to be inclosed and sealed form the elements? I thought that was the main advantage to gear boxes. That one doesnt look enclosed at all. Oh and ya it is ugly.
hehe i wonder how long the seat tube is.
Whats the point if there is no rear travel?
That bike makes the Pontiac Aztec look good.
Looks like a food processor on wheels. Staring at it to figure out how it works makes my head hurt, too.
The two big wheels, and what look like a belt make me think it is a variable diameter pulley belt drive like in a snowmobile. It has been used in motorcycles too. There is too much energy loss to be practical on a bicycle. It's an automatic shiftless bike.
The new, heavier, more expensive, less efficient, Landrider. !!!!
I don't even want to think about the weight and the cost.
The chain wins every time.
Don't get the belt wet, it may slip.
Don't reach down for a bottle and get your fingers in the spinning wheels!
There's two of them in that picture... i hope they don't breed!
what the ...
"I'm; young enough to know the right car to buy yet grown enough not to put rims on it. I got that 6-deuce, with curtains, so you can't see me and I didn't even have to put tints on it."
Its a cross between a meat grinder and a bike. Its the ugliest thing I have ever seen in my life.
Just when you think you've seen it all!
As the rpm of the transmission wheels change, probably centifigal force pushes weights to the outside of the driving wheel and the sides of the pulley get closer together for an effective larger diameter, and the opposite on the driven wheel. No gears to change but a pair of variable diameter pulleys.
To much energy waste with a fiber/rubber drive belt for a bicycle.
Think of all the R&D fundage wasted on that.

RIP sydney.
I can't see any shifter pods, so my guess is the same as 2manybikes: it's a custom CVT. If I remember correctly, Honda played around with a CVT for a while on their DH bike, but switched to a slightly more conventional system (basically like normal but enclosed). This looks like quite a bit of effort was made at quite a bit of cost, both in terms of dollars and efficiency. Besides, who worries about shifting that much in a dirt jumping bike (my best guess as to what it's for)?
Ugliness aside, seriously check out the way the transmission is mounted. This guy spent hours machining those profiles to mount the bearings in. That part, at least, is pretty sweet.

Looks like the old cannondale fulcrum DH setup.
My Brain hurts tring to think how that works.
Ugly and it comes pretty close to the front tire.
That is one weird looking bike. I wonder how it rides....
A lot of nice machining, just for the sake of ..um...showing off your skill at machining?Originally Posted by iamlucky13
There was a motorcycle with a CVT transmission, I think it was the "Rokon" they just sort of faded away.
It was wierd to see, there is this bike going up hills slow, down hill faster, and along the flats in between, all the time the engine sound stayed the same at a steady rpm. I would guess the creators of this bike are thinking that you find a comfortable cadence and just keep it the same. But there are some good reasons to change it on a bicycle too. Maybe there is some kind of manual control? I don't see one.
I had a bike that was about 198 lbs. But there was a good reason for it.......Originally Posted by shane45
It had a big transmission too. A couple of gallons of gas and an engine too.
THAT ...hurts my brain!!Originally Posted by PoorBehavior

never seen it in my life.. wounder how it works..

The VNR price dropped a couple of bucks when the additional shares were placed on the market and the price now is below that when the new shares were sold. The yield makes you wonder why they couldn't have floated debt instead of stock at a price better than 8.8%. The number of MLPs that are out there trying to purchase additional property also looks like reasonable purchase prices for growth are hard to come by. VNR is part of my portfolio that I treat just like a junk bond, not counting on much of a distribution increase. Just hope the distribution lasts for the long haul.
I think Vanguard is going to be around for a long time and its distributions will increase...historically every mlp that issues shares has a pps drop and then some.
I bought more, its going to go up and by next earnings I believe it will go back to 33 and might even be higher especially with pricing of ng and oil going up.
Note the following: "As of March 31, 2012, the company had total proved reserves of 71.9 million barrels of oil equivalent, as well as owned working interests in 1,459 net productive wells. Vanguard Natural Resources, LLC was founded in 2006..."
I like being a part-owner in 71.9 million barrels and 1459 net productive wells...the additional shares were sold out including the additional 1.2 million shares...that may bother some regarding dilution but I think that these guys are smart since the IPO (2006) they have grown their proven reserves of oil and gas 1177%....not too shabby if you ask me....ok dont ask me. ps distribution is payable next week. Enjoy.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Conference call on Friday, Mar. 1 after market close is a sure sign that news is not good!
These guys are some of the better operators around. They are prudent in their acquisitions and also in how they report DCF.
I expect VNR to continue to grow, perhaps aggressively over the next few years.
The BBG assets may end up being far more valuable if gas prices rise.

Toddler Games?
posted at 2/25/2011 9:50 AM ESTDD's birthday party is tomorrow and so far, I've not come up with any games for the kiddos to play... orginally I had planned to have some space in our semi finished basement available for them to run around, but it didn't happen, so now I'm expecting 6-8 kids aged 2-3.5 and don't have an activity planned for them! Last year, I had them trace themselves on big pieces of paper and then had stickers and markers and stuff for them to color them in, it was a big hit (I hung them on the wall) I don't want/need to overschedule them, but wondering if anyone has an idea for an activity or two? It's a purple party, if that gives you any ideas...
Re: Toddler Games?
posted at 2/25/2011 10:41 AM ESTHi, at DD birthday party, I had a bunch of arts and crafts activities, Coloring books, stickers, construction paper. The main creation was make your own Frames. I got them from Orinetal Trading. They come with all the peices and they have double sided tape so no glue necessary. They have differeant themes. We did a snowflake theme for the winter. They are really cute and fun for the kids becuase they can design there own.
Here is the link, they are pretty afordable to!
Sorry, I just noticed the party is tomorrow. The frames from there obviously will not work, but maybe a craft store would have the same craft.

What about decorating cupcakes/cookies? Or you can do the tracing thing again. Plaster molds of hands/feet?
Games: obstacle courses. this will sound weird, but we used to tie a string up from one end of room to the other, and put a small hole in the bottom of a paper cup and hang it on the string and have contests to see who could blow the cup across the room/space faster. It was pretty fun, and even the smaller kids could try.
I'm a fan of balloons and open space for parties, let the kids run.
Re: Toddler Games?
posted at 2/25/2011 11:25 AM ESTDo kids play pin the tail on the donkey these days? If purple is the theme, you could do pin the smile on Barney...
Re: Toddler Games?
posted at 2/25/2011 11:58 AM ESTKids won't understand Pin the X on the Y as a competitive game. I watched my kid's kindergarten class do Pin the Nose on the Snowman and all the kids thought the purpose was to coach the blindfolded kid to put it in the right place and shouted directions.
In fact, kids this age will have trouble with anything competitive so don't make it a contest and heaven forbid do not have a prize.
Art projects and cookie decorating are best. Those Foamies sticker kits are fun and you can get packs of 10 or 12.
Re: Toddler Games?
posted at 2/25/2011 12:39 PM ESTI have a bag of 'purple prizes' so everyone gets one regardless of what we do for games... (see, I am not totally unprepared!) I wish I had room to let them run around, I had planned freeze dance or some version of musical chairs but I think my upstairs is too small. Blowing thew cup or pin the tail might work... I don't really need or want to declare a winner anyway, just an activity

Re: Toddler Games?
posted at 2/25/2011 1:53 PM ESTWe decorated cookies at my daughter's 2nd birthday party. (Sugar cookies with premade tubes of icing and a variety of small candies). It was funny. It didn't occur to me that the kids would eat the candies before they made it to the cookies, but it was a party afterall!
I also put out supplies for coloring, but the kids weren't too focused on it. Likewise you could put out play-doh.
Re: Toddler Games?
posted at 2/25/2011 2:52 PM ESTso I spent lunch time surfing the web for a bunch of purple pictures and thought I might print and post them around the house for a toddler-speed scavenger hunt... but alas the purple printer ... oi, the color printer at the office is on the fritz, so now I'm hoping I have enough ink in the one at home!
Anyone know where one might procure a large qty of purple play-doh on short notice??? oh wait, maybe I can make it tonight... hmmm, sleep, what's sleep!
Re: Toddler Games?
posted at 2/25/2011 3:19 PM ESTHow about "hit the other kid and cry" or "eat the thing that fell on the floor?" Those are great games.
Re: Toddler Games?
posted at 2/25/2011 3:27 PM ESTStaples or Office Max should be able to print things for you quickly!
get some good music and do simon says (probably a lot like herding cats with toddlers).
Make puppets out of brown lunch bags-glue sticks and fuzzy stuff, yarn, etc and you're good to go.
How long is the party? Cake and presents can take up a lot of time...
Re: Toddler Games?
posted at 2/25/2011 3:41 PM ESTlemon cracking us up as usual... party is just a couple of hours, and includes snack and cake, gonna wait to do the presents after everyone leaves as it tends to be chaos...Will definitely be doing some party-dancing toddler style... I think we have a Wiggles - Wiggl-y party CD that ought to do the trick...
wish me luck!
Re: Toddler Games?
posted at 2/25/2011 3:43 PM ESTWith kids this age they'll probably have fun just hanging out and talking and playing weird babbly made-up games with each other. You could probably throw a laundry basket or two in the room with a pile of rolled-up socks and have them make up a game and they'd be happy.
Art supplies sound great too. If you have enough paper grocery bags saved from trips to the store you could give each kid a paper bag and a small box of crayons and have them decorate the bags the way they see fit.

Re: Toddler Games?
posted at 2/28/2011 9:53 AM ESTPurple Party was a success!
I made a bunch of purple play-doh and had that set up for them to play with as they arrived. When some kids started to move on from that I sent them on the purple scavenger hunt (I had about 20 pics of purple things printed on paper and posted thruout the livingroom and kitchen/dining room) The 3 year olds liked this, the younger kids didn't get it, but had fun running around after the big kids... I let them each pick a purple prize and then cut immediately to purple snack time so everyone calmed down for that... then let them play with the toys and whatnot for a while and then had purple cake (purple inside and out, it looked freaky and they loved it!) Then they played some more, some ppl left, some others arrived (who I knew would be late) and we just let it roll until around 5-5:30 everyone started to leave.
We were pooped, and had a 1yo birthday party the next day... we're still purple pooped, but happy with the party
thanks all for your ideas!
PS Play-doh is freakishly easy to make!

"Siena" Siena by bren1125
Siena Travel Guide: 899 reviews and 2,730 photos
A beautiful drive through the Tuscan Chianti wine producing region to Siena. It is a historic town of Tuscany, of about 54,000 inhabitants. It is rich in works of art and monuments. The medieval buildings, small squares, naroow streets, and colorful red bricks make this a charming town.
Most famous for it's Palio Horse Race. This is held in the perimeter ring in the Piazza del Campo, which is covered by a layer of dirt and sand. It is held each year from June 26-Aug 16th. There are four trials for qaulification and 10 horses are selected. 10 riders from the 17 contradas (neighborhoods) are chosen by lkottery. The winner is given a cencio (banner painted by a local artist) and is written in history. This is a very proud moment for the winner, his family and region.

Best Of app praised by iTunes Rewind, Wired
As 2011 draws to a close, year-end lists run rampant on the Internet and this site is no exception. But this time we're on the other side of those lists with our Best Of mobile app.
The app, which debuted last April with our Best Of The Twin Cities issue, appeared in a capsule review in Wired this month, where the writer called it "what Yelp would be if only the cool kids could post reviews. Provides quick access to phone numbers and addresses, with in-app calls and maps."
iTunes also featured it in their year-end "Rewind" list of best travel apps of the year, nestled between the likes of Airbnb and Jetsetter.
The Best Of app was created to act like our Best Of issue on the go, helping you find the highest rated foodstuffs, restaurants, stores and other venues where ever you are.

AbstractThe Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS) Handheld Manpack Program has a need for a primary battery capable of operating high power consumption devices, the JTRS handheld radio in particular. Key requirements of the battery assembly include operation at extreme environments (-40"aC to 55"aC), weighing less than 1.3 pounds, and occupying a volume no greater than 30 in3. Additionally, the battery assembly should include State of Charge (SOC) technology that will enable operators to evaluate battery health prior to performing a mission. During Phase I, MaxPower designed and demonstrated the capability of a primary lithium carbon monofluoride (Li~!@CFx) battery system. This system was capable of delivering a minimum of 10 hours operation at -40"aC while meeting the weight and volume constraints. In addition, a state-of-charge device was developed and successfully demonstrated even down to the utltra-low temperature at -40"aC with 98% accuracy. A sound foundation is set for the development of a fully integrated radio battery system prototypes. For the Phase II effort, the following milestone deliverables are called out: three functional prototype 12 months after contract award (MAC); ¡§second¡¨ functional batteries at 22 MAC; a CDR review at 16 MAC; and completion of a Technology Transition Plan (TPP) 23 MAC.

U.S. Makes No Progress Against Food Poisoning
The federal government said it didn't make any progress in lowering the rate of food poisoning in the past four years, underscoring the need to plug holes in the nation's food-safety system.
The incidence of human infections caused by salmonella, E. coli and seven other common pathogens changed little from 2004 to 2008, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Thursday. Fresh produce, in particular, has led to more illnesses and large outbreaks. One salmonella outbreak -- eventually traced to Mexican peppers -- sickened more than 1,400 people last year.
"We recognize that we have reached a plateau in the prevention of foodborne disease, and there must be new efforts to develop and evaluate food-safety practices from the farm to the table," said Robert Tauxe, deputy director of the CDC's Division of Foodborne, Bacterial and Mycotic Diseases.
The CDC report will likely add fuel to the debate in Washington over how to improve food regulation, currently handled by a patchwork of federal and state agencies.
David Acheson, the Food and Drug Administration's associate commissioner for foods, said the CDC report "underscores the need for change." The FDA needs to conduct more inspections and develop a system to trace contaminants quickly, a process that often takes weeks now, he said.
The FDA has become more aggressive in monitoring food safety, Dr. Acheson said. The FDA recently warned consumers against eating any products containing pistachios after salmonella was found in some pistachio products -- even though no illnesses were confirmed.
The CDC's annual report on foodborne illness uses data from 10 states, along with the CDC, U.S. Department of Agriculture and FDA.

|What a beautiful hike from the Timpooneke Trailhead. I followed the advice on many forums and avoided the weekend. Found a nice mid-70s day on Wednesday in early September. Got to the trailhead around 8am (not too early) and made it up and down in a shade under 7 hours including time at the summit and time for lunch. It was chilly and breezy at the top but perfect hiking weather overall. Some of the best scenery around!

|Finally got the chance to mount this gorgeous lady since moving to Utah almost two years ago. Headed up via Aspen Grove. Stopped at Emerald Lake so my friend could do a naked backflip. We also saw a heard of mountain goats ambling about on the cliff face below South Timp, sending rocks cascading down. After summiting, we took the ridge toward the saddle between Timp + South Timp and glissaded back down to the lake, where upon the rest of us jumped in. Got off the mountain just in time to miss a storm that had rolled in!

- Article
- References
- Cited By
Seven types of evidence are reviewed that indicate that high subjective well-being (such as life satisfaction, absence of negative emotions, optimism, and positive emotions) causes better health and longevity. For example, prospective longitudinal studies of normal populations provide evidence that various types of subjective well-being such as positive affect predict health and longevity, controlling for health and socioeconomic status at baseline. Combined with experimental human and animal research, as well as naturalistic studies of changes of subjective well-being and physiological processes over time, the case that subjective well-being influences health and longevity in healthy populations is compelling. However, the claim that subjective well-being lengthens the lives of those with certain diseases such as cancer remains controversial. Positive feelings predict longevity and health beyond negative feelings. However, intensely aroused or manic positive affect may be detrimental to health. Issues such as causality, effect size, types of subjective well-being, and statistical controls are discussed.

Hi There -
I am in Atlanta too and my husband has CC. We are currently being treated at MD Anderson. My husband is in a trial. The trial is in pill form so we only have to travel there once per month. He was diagnosed in April. I would really recommend that you go see Dr Mark Johnson or Dr Sellers at Piedmont. They work together. We have seen Johnson twice and we love him. They are aggressive. They will not do surgery on my husband right now because he has tons of affected lymph nodes. BUT, it does not sound like that is the case with your husband. My husband, Travis, is 38 and we have 3 little kids. I am so sorry that you are going through this. It is awful. Contact me anytime. We are in Marietta. I will be happy to share what we have learned.

Regina -
My husband is in the trial. He started on 10/23. He was diagnosed in April and was on Gem/Cis for about 5 months and it quit working. It quit working right in time to get on this trial. We go back to MDA on 11/20 for the first blood work apt. We are working with Shroff and Zinner as well.
My husband, Travis is having worse side effect than he did with Gem/Cis. His rash is really bad and his belly bothers him. Gas and diarrhea. Tonight he even has chills. His blood pressure has gone up too.
I wonder if we will be at MDA at the same time?
My husband is 38 and we have 3 little ones. Ages 6,4 and 2.
Praying that this trial does some good!!!

Re: Phone Consults with MD ANDERSON (or other cancer hospitals) (17 replies, posted in General Discussion)
Hi All -
We are the ones who went to MD Anderson and paid $24,000. Our ins did not cover it at all and they would not see us unless we paid that upfront. We had to charge most of it and we are slowly paying it back. My husband was not 100% diagnosed at the time. He had not been treated at all either so we were going for a confirmation on diagnosis as well as a suggestion for treatment. It may be different if you are already being treated and they don't have to do a CT scan or pathology, but that is what we were going for. The $24,000 covered Pathology, CT Scan, Blood Work, and two LONG dr visits with Dr Shroff who specializes in CC and Pancreatic.
I agree that it is outrageous, but I promise that it is true:)!

36 yr mom of 3. Hubs was diagnosed in April. We currently go to a local oncologist and to MD Anderson. Gem/Cis worked like a charm for 5 months and now the cancer is on the move again. We head to Houston on Fri to see about getting Trav into a brand new trial at MD Anderson. We are wondering if we should try to visit Burzynski? So hard!!!

I don't know how to help at all. I just want you to know that I will pray for you. My husband was recently diagnosed and it is so hard. I know that your world has been turned up side down. This is a great place to vent. I am very new to this as my 38 yr old husband was just diagnosed about a month ago, but I know what it is like to be a care taker and then have to deal with kids. It is an exhausting task and my husband is not having the emotional issues that your poor mom is having. That breaks my heart for her and for you. The others on this site have much better advice than I do, but I wanted you to know that I care.

Re: Lauren's 2nd Surgery News (38 replies, posted in General Discussion)
Pamela - I am so excited for you and your daughter. What fabulous news. Do you mind if I ask a few questions? Did your daughter have any cancer in her lymph nodes? I don't think so because I have looked back at your previous posts, but I am just curious. My husband does and I just don't know if the chemo ever kills this cancer. Meaning will chemo alone get it out of his lymph nodes? I know that no one has the answer, but I guess I mean does it EVER happen? I know that you are tired and I don't want to bother you too much. I am going to also post a general question about this, but you seem so helpful so I thought I would go straight to you:). I hope that Lauren's recovery goes just perfectly. My prayers are with you and your daughter. Carrie

Also, Bompie - Travis is not candidate for surgery now, but I will let you know what the surgeons here say. Meaning what there requirements will be to get him to a resection. We know it is a shot in the dark and that no one would operate on him now, but we can pray:). I'll keep you posted.

Re: New Member - Wife of newly diagnosed (30 replies, posted in Introductions!)
Thank everyone for the welcome.
Jason - It sounds like we are a week behind you. We just missed you in Houston:). I will be very interested to find out what they say at Mayo. Did it take long to get an apt? I just filled out the apt form on line yesterday. If you don't mind sharing what they say it would be so helpful.
As I said before we see a surgeon and internal radiation team this week. I know that Travis is not a candidate right now, but we are praying as you are too I am sure that the cancer reacts positively to the chemo. Maybe some day he will be candidate for resection. I have read quite a few posts so I don't remember if you have symptoms or what brought you in to find the cancer. Travis was kidney stone pain which he has had many times in his life. I only wish that he had a kidney stone 6 months or 1 yr ago so we could have caught this before it spread. Can't look back, but it's hard not to think that way. Anyway, I hope that maybe you get some helpful info at Mayo. Let us know what they say.

Re: New Member - Wife of newly diagnosed (30 replies, posted in Introductions!)
Also, the Interventional Radiation has not been ruled out at all, but because the cancer is in the lymph nodes they want to run the chemo cycle right away. In the mean time we will be discussing different direct therapy and preparing for round 2. Hopefully he will respond well to the chemo so we are able to try the other treatments.

Re: New Member - Wife of newly diagnosed (30 replies, posted in Introductions!)
Thank you so much for your reply. We saw Dr Shroff at MDA. She agreed with our local oncologist who we love about the chemo treatments. Or local guy is a 42 yr old oncologist out of UNC who is full of piss and vinegar, just what we wanted. Our dr and Dr Shroff both recommended Gem/Cis. MDA recommended that we do the chemo here in ATL and she was willing to work with our Oncologist. She recommended the treatment to be every 14 days instead of the 2 weeks on/1 week off. Travis has 8 tumors in his liver. 1 main (7.6cm) and 7 small satellites. Then he has cancer in his lymph nodes in his abdominal wall, chest, and pelvis.
Glad to know about the Rochester Mayo. Do you think that we will get any new info there? We will most likely have to pay out of pocket for that opinion. We will gladly do so, but as I read the blog it looks like the treatments esp at first don't vary much so I hate to pay to have someone else tell us to do Gem/Cis. We are meeting with a surgeon on Tuesday at Piedmont hospital as well as an interventional radiologist. We know that Travis is not a candidate for surgery right now, but we have this doctor who believes in Travis and he wants the surgeons to know us. We have heard fabulous things about the surgeons at Piedmont and the internal rad guys. Over the phone they told Travis that they are going to look at him as a 38 yr old father of 3 and not a statistic. We are happy with our care here in ATL, but we just keep wondering if there is something out there that we might be missing. I look at the clinical trials.org, but I have to admit I have a hard time knowing what it what. This is all so new to us.
Travis is totally symptom free. He went in to the ER for kidney stone pain and they found the liver tumor and the large lymph nodes. The kidney stone pain is gone and he has no other pain except that he says he can occasionally feel the tumor. No pain but rather awareness.
Have you ever seen chemo get the cancer out of the nodes? Also they told us that his CA19-9 levels were at 91,000???? Have you ever heard of that? We asked if it was a typo and they said no. So crazy!
Thank you to anyone for their advice! I am pouring over everyones entries and trying to learn from other peoples experiences. It is nice to see others out there like us.
Travis's story is at www.concretefaith.org.

Hi All - I am Carrie and my husband was diagnosed with cholangiocarcinoma in the last few weeks. He actually found out that he had cancer the day after his 38th bday, April 22nd and then days later we found out it was CC. He was diagnosed in Atlanta but then we went to MD Anderson last week and received confirmation on the diagnosis. We are back in ATL and he starts chemo on Thursday. We have 3 kids who are 5, 3 and 2. I just wanted to introduce myself. We are looking into going to Mayo in JAX. I don't know if that would be a waste after already going to MD Anderson. I am sure that my husband Travis will be introducing himself soon as well. We are finding our peace and hope in God. We are happy to have found this group. Carrie

I work by the Clark County Fairgrounds, and something has been bothering me: the flag that flies at half-mast and has for a few weeks now. It does not come down at night, nor do they put a light on it as a show of respect. I have placed a call to the fairgrounds, and they said it was an AT&T antenna and they would need to take care of it. This is a huge flag, and I hate to see it not taken care of correctly. What's up with that?
–Chris Gillingham
You mean, what's half-up with that?
According to Mark McCauley, Clark County's general services manager and chairman of the Fair Site Management Group, that flagpole is indeed a cellular telephone tower. And that AT&T is responsible for maintaining it.
"When they wanted to put a tower on the site," McCauley said, "we said we didn't want an ugly cell tower and they said, 'What about a flagpole?'"
So the flagpole went up. And now it's "got issues," McCauley said.
"It's a very large flag. There's a cabling system for getting it up and down, and there are problems with that," he said. That system was a mechanical, muscle-driven winch that has broken, he said; now, an electrical winch system has been designed, and parts for it have been ordered and delivered. "We just need a break in the weather," McCauley said.
Speaking of which, McCauley said, the flag itself "looks great when conditions are right. There are military specifications for how to illuminate a flag." Normally it is lit with three 400-watt floodlights, but "occasionally one will burn out, and they are not the easiest to repair or replace." The lighting system has also been redesigned so it's easier to maintain, McCauley added.
By the time you read this, Chris, it's possible the work will be done, and that flag will raised, lowered and lit properly. It all depends on the weather, McCauley said.

Topsham Museum
Topsham Museum is housed in one of a group of late 17th century buildings overlooking the Exe Estuary. Following completion of a stunning new River gallery, the Museum was 'long-listed' for the Art Fund Prize in 2008.
Part of the Museum's focus is on Topsham's maritime history - one particular showpiece is the River Gallery, completed in 2007, featuring unique historic river craft. Visitors can also enjoy the furnished period rooms of the original house and the Sail Loft with its historical timeline of the town's general history. Other interesting exhibits include wildlife of the Exe Estuary, local trades and organisations and memorabilia of the film star Vivien Leigh.
The Sail Loft
Displays the history of Topsham from Prehistoric times: Shipbuilding, fishing and maritime trade, including ship models, shipwrights' tools, maps, photographs, paintings, documents etc. Other exhibits include a model of Topsham in 1900 and the "Terror", built here.
The River Gallery
The Gallery holds a collection of historic Exe river boats. Four boats were saved after the closure of the Exeter Maritime Museum: the famous Cygnet, the Market Boat, "Ruby" (a salmon boat) and a Skiff.
The House
Dates from the late 17th century - two rooms are furnished in that period. The kitchen of Miss Holman, the founder of the Museum, has been preserved. Memorabilia in the Vivien Leigh Room (her sister in law) includes the nightdress Vivien wore in the film "Gone with the Wind"
The Underloft
The Underloft houses the popular Museum Tearoom, temporary exhibitions and the Museum Shop, selling unusual and interesting gifts, books on local subjects and Topsham items.
Local History Room
A comfortable study space for visitors to consult our extensive public collection of local reference materials, census indexes, local research projects, digitised information and details of nearly 150 Topsham families. It is also the venue for our seasonal exhibitions
Admission & prices
The Museum is now closed for the winter and re-opens on March 26th. During the 2016 season, the Museum will be open in the afternoons on Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, (plus Tuesdays in August), 2pm-5pm from 1st April until 30th October.

Ashim Ahluwalia's internationally acclaimed film "Miss Lovely" is ready to hit the Indian screens with an 'A' certificate, but the director says the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) had initially asked for 157 cuts to make it suitable for viewing in India.
Starring Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Niharika Singh in the lead roles, "Miss Lovely" competed in the Un Certain Regard section at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival.
Talking about his tryst with the Indian censor board, Ahluwalia said: "It actually took me a year to get it passed, there are cuts."
Set in the 1980s, "Miss Lovely" talks about the world of C-grade cinema. Ahluwalia said the film, ready to release in the country Jan 17, next year, was reviewed "four times" by the censor board.
"I don't think anybody has gone through a review four times. I started with being given 157 cuts and that was like killing the film, and there was no point in showing it," Ahluwalia said Monday at a press meet of the film here.
"So we went back, argued and the foul language cuts were removed. These are C-grade film producers (in the film) and they won't speak family language. So the cuts were gradually reduced and finally we were down to three to four major cuts ... those were nude scenes and they are not allowed," he added.
Ahluwalia also said that there are some blurred scenes, "but for the most part I am quite satisfied".
He says "Miss Lovely" is for a niche audience, therefore, while getting distributors, he ensured the film reaches the right viewers.
"A film like this is not a mass level film. We are not releasing 5,000 prints. It is a very gritty film, a real film. So it's just hard to get people (distributors) to understand how to release it. I just wanted to get it right and get to the right audience," Ahluwalia said.
"I don't want to trick someone. I want people to watch the film because they want to know what that world is like. That's why it took me a while. The film releases in the US in March," he added.

The 50 Most Illiquid StocksSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 06/08/2015 16:29 -0400
One of the strategies that has emerged in the post-squeeze normal is cornering the most illiquid stocks, and pushing them up, or down with relative ease due to the lack of liquidity and/or broad participation. But how does one go about quantifying what are the most illiquid stocks: is it the ones that trade the least on any given day (a double edge sword, because exiting a position would be that much more problematic after pushing the prices to any desired level), or is it simply those where individual trades have the highest price impact? One suggested answer is to look at the equities whose current float is a small fraction of their total outstanding stock.

The typical approach to bearish gold analysis is to attribute hypothetical fears to gold investors, and then point out these concerns have failed to materialize. Sprott believes the investment thesis for gold is a bit more complex than simplistic motivations commonly cited in financial press. We would suggest gold's relatively methodical advance since the turn of the millennium has had less to do with investor fears of hyperinflation or U.S. dollar collapse than it has with persistent desire to allocate a small portion of global wealth away from traditional financial assets and the fiat currencies in which they are priced.

With Stocks Massively Overvalued, Goldman Suggests You Short These StocksSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 04/14/2015 12:03 -0400
Since one should always do the opposite of what Goldman recommends (because that is what Goldman itself is trading), the following is a perfectly suitable, and free, substitute of the SQZZ ETF: all one needs to do is go long the stocks Goldman recommends to short, go short the stocks Goldman thinks will be squeezed, and wait for the money to roll in courtesy of Goldman's flow and prop traders.

The Carnage Beneath The Bullish StampedeSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 06/08/2014 17:16 -0400
Risk is no longer priced into anything. Volatility has gone to sleep. Uniformity of thought has taken over the stock market. Complacency has reached a point where even central banks have begun to worry about it: the idea that markets can only go up – once entrenched, which it is – leads to financial instability because no one is prepared when that theory suddenly snaps. But all this bullishness, this complacency is only skin deep. Beneath the layer of the largest stocks, volatility has taken over ruthlessly, the market is in turmoil, people are dumping stocks wholesale, and dreams and hopes are drowning in red ink.

Silver Soars; Stock Bores; Bond Bulls Heading For The DoorsSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 08/12/2013 16:17 -0400
Aside from an opening short-squeeze that saw 'most-shorted' stocks surge 0.8% in the first 15 minutes of the day, stocks did very little for the rest of the day. Ranges were extremely narrow with whatever lift stocks got based on small AUDJPY (carry) sparks but the Dow and S&P end the day red (Nasdaq and Russell 2000 green). Nasdaq was driven by AAPL exuberance (what no a new iPhone model??) which grabbed the Tech sector to the best peformance on the day. Utes were the biggest losers as rates reversed early gains and Treasury yields (especially 30Y) surged 6-7 bps from their per-open low yields. The big story was precious metals as Silver and Gold surged on the day. Silver is now up over 9% in the last 3 days - its best run in 22 months. Interestingly, VIX was pushed notably lower on the day (but it appears investors are moving hedges further out in time - to September). Credit notably underperformed. Today was all about pre- and post-Europe (as normal).
End Of QE?Submitted by Tyler Durden on 06/22/2013 17:55 -0400
A new meme is spreading in financial markets: The Fed is about to turn off the monetary spigot. US Printmaster General Ben Bernanke announced that he might start reducing the monthly debt monetization program, called 'quantitative easing' (QE), as early as the autumn of 2013, and maybe stop it entirely by the middle of next year. He reassured markets that the Fed would keep the key policy rate (the Fed Funds rate) at near zero all the way into 2015. Still, the end of QE is seen as the beginning of the end of super-easy policy and potentially the first towards normalization, as if anybody still had any idea of what 'normal' was. Fearing that the flow of nourishing mother milk from the Fed could dry up, a resolutely unweaned Wall Street threw a hissy fit and the dummy out of the pram. So far, so good. There is only one problem: it won't happen.
The 4 Charts Your Friendly Equity Hedge Fund Manager Does Not Want You To SeeSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 06/10/2013 16:40 -0400
A funny thing happens when there is only one driver of economic market growth, any chance of intelligent fact-based, logic-induced, fundamental-biased investing becomes reduced to the rubble of momentum-chasing leveraged beta. No matter how much your 2-and-20 taking manager explains his 'process', the charts below show that the thundering herd of 'dumb' money that used to be so useful in identifying the extremes of market hubris and dysphoria appear to have overwhelmed the world of 'smart' money. Hedge funds have never been more net long US equities; hedge fund returns have never been more correlated to the market; hedge funds have never produced so little alpha; and hedge funds are as leveraged to this beta as they were at the top in 2007. This will not end well...
Short Squeeze Hits Escape VelocitySubmitted by Tyler Durden on 04/11/2013 12:43 -0400
The 'most shorted' names in the Russell 3000 are up a remarkable 1.4% today compared to 0.45% in the index itself. The short-squeeze off the NFP gap-down lows is impressive indeed. From the open last Friday, the 'most short' names are up 6.6% against the index up only 3.5% as the dash for trash continues in the face of increasingly dismal data. The last 2 times that the 'most short' index was this squeezed relative to the index was late-December (before the equity dip) and mid-Fed (before the equity dip). Just as we warned here and here, the inexorable flow of easy money means the dash-for-trash (as remarkably ridiculous as it seems - though as now know nothing is allowed to fail ever again) has been the winning trade; though as we note below, there is a limit to the 'squeezability' and we appear to be there in the short term.

I have been getting a service light "Service Traction System". It is making it's groaining noise about every time I apply the brakes. I have eliminated the problem by turning off the traction system. What could be the problem and the expense to make the repair? Thanks for your help.
