Paris:Defending champion Svetlana Kuznetsova reeled off 11 of the last 12 games to move into the French Open second round with a 6-3, 6-1 win against Romania's Sorana Cirstea on Sunday.
The 24-year-old Kuznetsova arrived in Paris having won just one claycourt match this season and was in trouble early on against her 20-year-old opponent who made the quarter-finals last year.
Kuznetsova was 1-3 down as Cirstea, the world number 34 who just missed out on a seeding, quickly settled into her rhythm on a sweltering spring day in Paris.
But the Russian, who had won the pair's only other clash in the second round of the 2008 US Open, rattled off the next five games to claim the opener after 38 minutes on Court Philippe Chatrier.
Kuznetosva then sped into a 3-0 lead in the second set before Cirstea got on the board again.
But the champion was quickly back on top, wrapping up the tie after 72 minutes.
The Russian sixth seed will face either compatriot Elena Vesnina or Germany's Andrea Petkovic for a place in the last 32.
Also going through in early action were Slovakia's 26th seed Dominika Cibulkova and South African qualifier Chanelle Scheepers who reached the second round of a Grand Slam for the first time with a straight sets win over French wildcard Mathilde Johannson.
Later Sunday, world number two Venus Williams, whose best performance in Paris remains her runners-up spot to sister Serena in 2002, opens her campaign against Swiss veteran Patty Schnyder, a two-time quarter-finalist.
Williams has won all of the pair's 10 meetings in a sequence stretching back 12 years.
In men's first round action, Swedish fifth seed Robin Soderling, last year's runner-up to Roger Federer after sending four-time champion Rafael Nadal to a first career defeat here, starts against France's Laurent Recouderc.
Eighth seed Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, France's best hope of a first home win since Yannick Noah in 1983, faces Germany's Daniel Brands.
Latvia's Ernests Gulbis, who knocked Federer out of the Rome Masters before going on to make the semi-finals, tackles France's Julien Benneteau.
Gulbis, currently at a career high of 27 in the world, reached the quarter-finals here in 2008.

Whether you are going to remodel your home interior or whether you are planning to makeover you office or even running business related to ready-made costumes and garments, you might need to purchase fabric in bulk. Purchasing fabrics on the internet could be a good option due to the special discounts you can get. Nevertheless, it is not quite similar to purchasing fabrics at your local store. You are unable to check the fabric when it comes to texture, weight and color. This does not always mean that you should not purchase fabrics online. With the following things to consider, you can buy the finest quality fabrics online at the best price.
Before buying fabric online you must know the various kinds of fabric. It may help you determine the feel, the texture and the flow. You can find linen, cotton, chiffon, polyester, rayon, silk satin, denim and wool to pick from. Fabrics also vary in their look. Along with plain materials, you can even research and purchase fabrics with embroidery, lacework, sequins, mirror and cut-work. Fabrics also offer various models of prints.
It is advisable to contact suppliers that sell quality fabrics. It will be better if the supplier can send you product samples prior to making a purchase. It must also have a return policy in the event you need to return the fabric.
Buying fabrics in wholesale will be more cost-effective at fabricexchange.com. When you purchase fabric at the store, you will find numerous fabrics for business or even personal use.

Vanilla Pie and Mimosa Lip Balms
Never waxy, not greasy but lasts for hours!
Contains jojoba oil to protect and moisturize your lips. Comes in a
convenient twist-up tube. Tantalizing butter rum and coconut flavor, or
the wonderful vanilla pie! It smells just like it. Orange Mimosa, its
almost like a orange popsicle with vanilla ice cream in it. Our newest
addition is strawberry, every child's favorite for sure.
Why use a lip balm like Honeybee Gardens Natural Lip Balms? Because they are mineral oil free. Mineral Oil according to the cosmetic dictionary creates dry, chapped skin. Why would anyone want to use a product that would cause the very thing your working against? Don't be a victim of the Mineral Oil Conspiracy. If you haven't tried a mineral oil free lip balm, why not try Honeybee Gardens today. We ingest what we put on the lips, this is why so many who have gluten sensitivities have to be watchful with what they use. This proves a huge point, that if we are using lip balms with synthetics in them such as artificial flavors, colors, oils, this absolutely goes into our intestines. Our body does not look at these substances as natural like it does an apple or orange. It holds on to the substances. Do we really want to hold on to those ingredients? Don't just choose Honeybee Gardens Natural Lip Balms because they have a great flavor (they do!), choose Honeybee Gardens Natural Lip Balms because they are healthy for you on the inside!
Great gift idea! Great for the grandkids!
FEEDBACK: We have found that the teen group
enjoy this lip balm especially, however all ages love the product.

Look: Donald Trump's Ridiculously Condescending Comment to A Black Voter at the Second Debate
Plus, the former reality star staged a gross photo op with Bill Clinton's alleged mistresses.
(Photo: AP Photo/Jason DeCrow,file)
Fat Joe has made it rain throughout his renowned career, but the Bronx MC forgot to pay Uncle Sam along the way. Now Joey Crack is looking at a two-year prison bid for failing to pay the IRS $700,000 in back taxes.
According to TMZ, the 42-year-old hip hop star entered a guilty plea to tax evasion charges in a New Jersey federal court today for his failure to pay income taxes in 2007 and 2008.
The "Make It Rain" rapper was freed on $250,000 bond after the hearing and is scheduled to return to court in April for sentencing.
Joe joins Lauryn Hill and Beanie Sigel as prominent hip hop figures who were convicted of tax evasion this year.

"A great apartment in a great location!"
The Loft is a lovely apartment over 3 floors. I really appreciated the fact it had three equally nice ensuite double rooms - no arguments about who goes where - and the double garage as parking would be tricky in central Southport. It is in a central location but quiet at night. Some of us arrived by train and the station is only 5 or 6 minutes walk away, and it was easy to reach by car. Key collection and check out was made very easy. Would certainly come back.
Thanks for your comments, look forward to seeing you again.
"The Loft revisited"
The Loft is our home away from home in Southport. The convenience of being right off Lord Street is fantastic especially with a two car garage. With 3 bedrooms and 3 baths, we had three different sets of family and friends visit us. No air con at the Loft but with the windows open for a breeze even the hottest day was ok. The owner placed a fan for our comfort.
Thank you for your comments, see you again next year!
"Excellent location fantastic apartment."
Stayed 4 nights here for a conference/leisure combined. It was in the perfect location for us, being right in the heart of the town. Plenty of bars restaurants and shops all around. The accommodation itself was fantastic. A very well done conversion, with very big bright and airy rooms. All had excellent bathroom/en suite facilities, the Jacuzzi bath in particular was a fantastic touch. All the fittings and finishes are of a high standard, and the kitchen was adequately stocked with the obvious requirements. The lounge, dining and kitchen areas are all very well laid out, and excellent for entertaining. We had a party of 7 friends over for lunch and there was plenty of room and lots of comments about the apartment. Would gladly recommend this place, and fully intend to return again next year.
Thank you for your comments and good to hear you enjoyed the Jacuzzi! See you again next year. Regards Lyn
"No other place in Southport to stay"
We love Southport as it is my husband's hometown and it is quintessential English seaside town. We have stayed at the Ramada before, which was pleasant enough for a hotel. The Loft offers you so much more than a posh hotel for the same price point or less. The beds are so comfy. The jacuzzi bath is gorgeous especially if the weather is a bit chilly. The weathervin Southport truly is more sunny than inland. The Loft is right off Lord Street so a car is not essential. Plenty of living space and the kitchen gives you all of the comforts of home. The sofas are also very comfortable. Many windows so the light comes in even on a cloudy day. Wifi is an easy connection and garage parking tops it all off. We will be back in July. The owner was right there to show us around after our long flight. She was very helpful to us during a stressful time. This visit was due to a family member passing away. The Loft does have steps so certainly not good for young children or the elderly. I loved the lay out as it added privacy and some exercise to make up for all of those lovely meals out. If you are fortunate to book here, you will love it!!!
Thank you for your lovely comments, I look forward to seeing you again soon. Regards Lyn
"Great location"
The Loft could not be better located in the centre of Southport. The place itself has plenty of room. The 3 bedrooms are huge all with their own bathrooms. The garage which forms part of the ground floor has room for 2 cars - so ideal for a large family stay. Importantly for a February half-term stay the heating was perfect. The second floor open plan area comprises a spacious kitchen/dining area and lounge. All mod cons are available so ideal for a week's stay with young children. Tiny things would have made this place absolutely perfect i.e. better lighting in the kitchen/dining/living area - it was somewhat underlit, and more information on how the appartment 'worked' - a detailed booklet. Otherwise an excellent place and worth revisiting.
Thank you for your comments, we confirm that there is a booklet in the kitchen draw including all manuals/ inventory (we will keep it out in future as its possible this was missed). I have a further notice on the side of the fridge including frequently asked questions. We have instructed an electrician to upgrade the lighting in the kitchen area as we understand its not light enough in the kitchen. We hope that you will visit us again in the future and see the improvements made. Regards Lyn
"Great place to stay in centre of Southport, just off Lord Street"
We have just stayed here for the third time between Christmas and New Year with our two young adult sons. It is central and convenient but also quiet as it is on a back street close to Southport's main shopping street, Lord Street. It is very well furnished and maintained- this year there was even a Christmas tree in the living area. We thoroughly recommend for a quality 'hotel- type' experience at an excellent price. We shall be back. Steep steps though, not suitable for the elderly or for really young children.
Thanks for the great review and hope to see you again this year December 2015!
"Great place to stay in an excellent location"
Spacious, bright, relaxing house with large bedrooms, good en-suite bathrooms and it was very useful to have the garage. Being just off Lord Street made it an excellent location to explore Southport and it was not too far for us to drive to Crosby beach to see the Anthony Gormley sculptures.
Hope we will see you again. There are loads of great places to visit near to Southport.
"Wonderful place to stay"
When I was looking for somewhere to rent as a holiday home I kept going back to the Loft as the interior looked fabulous. This turned out to be the case and we had a great time staying in the loft. Would certainly consider going back to the Loft for future holiday breaks.
thanks for your comments, I hope that we will see you again in the future. Regards Lyn
"Clean, comfortable, centrally located"
Our extended family of over 60 people (most from US) were visiting for a memorial for my mother who was raised in Southport during the 30's & 40's. Southport for most was a distant memory or none coming in, but was certainly a delight for the 4+ days we spent. Wanted to say The Loft was better than anticipated, but the photo's and description did a great job and expectations met anticipation. One difference, bathrooms are hard to show in photo's, better than expected. The location was right off lord street on the south end, convenient to great restaurants, bars and Morrison's (great shopping food store). Lyn was readily available if needed, but we did not. We did extend our stay by 1 day.
Thank you for your great review and I hope to see you again in the future.
"Central location in Southport"
Perfect location in Southport - near everything. Modern apartment with large rooms - well equipped with all you things you need.
Thanks for your great comments, we look forward to seeing you again

Already in 2012 the State Government has rejected the Vasse Coal Project and Premier Barnett has stated that: " The unique environmental, viticultural and tourism values of the region cannot be compromised, and the Government will implement the most stringent planning framework possible to protect it from all forms of high impact mining."
And in late February, Western Coal withdrew their applications for 3 coal exploration leases (E70-4079/4080/4091) because of the strength and the commitment of ordinary people who objected and got dragged into the process. By taking the threat seriously and engaging lawyers and barristers to fight "just an exploration licence" the community protected all homes, farms and businesses in the region from these speculative carpetbaggers creating wealth on their balance sheet at the expense of our assets.
Unfortunately it doesn't stop there…..Western Coal still have 3 other licences stretching from Yelverton to Margaret River and Titan Energy have applied for a Special Prospecting Authority for "Coal Bed Methane" across the same area.
"Australian Petroleum Production and Exploration Association (APPEA) director of WA Stedman Ellis said WA's shale gas projects were in relatively remote areas, unlike in the eastern states." Tell that to the people in Vasse, Busselton, Cowaramup and Margaret River who are about to be invaded by Titan Energy's new permit which extends from Margaret River to Busselton over 280 square kilometres. http://ccwa.org.au/takeaction/fracking
We need to show these companies that people have homes and businesses here, and it is more than a bit rude to superimpose unwanted mining activties over Western Australia's dairy, beef, potato, wine and vegetable growers. We are building up a map of existing land use, please print a google map of your area and send in details of what you have.
The coal seam that is attracting interest from interstate and foreign miners is in the Vasse Coal Shelf that lies east of the Leeuwin-Naturaliste Ridge slicing through the whole region from Dunsborough/Busselton down to Augusta. Download our brochure for more information Coal_or_Water_in_the_SouthWest or read our South West Coal and Gas Update 21_10_11
Get to know some of the Community who would be affected by Coal & Gas mining and its impact on agribusiness and tourism in the region in about us
The E70/4079, 4080, 3914, 3933, 3961. 4091 Applicant Western Coal (who are probably just sterilising your assets to make money) are based here at 273 William Street in Northbridge. It seems they are a diversified international operation.
On Sunday 16th October 2011, to celebrate the start of National Water Week, over 200 people attended the Margaret River Rally on the National Day of Action to Defend our Water. Across the country 10,000 people gathered to protest against the onslaught of coal and coal seam gas on rural and regional communities. We resurrected the community mural to remind people that the Margaret River Wine Region is too beautiful to undermine.

Really enjoyed this book, though thought the intro chapter could have been an afterword. Excellent to get an idea of what it was like immed after the cold war ended in Eastern Europe. Loved the personal interviews and thoughts from people the author met on her travels.

I should really rate this lower for putting the idea into my addled young head that Bulgaria was an intellectual paradise, to visit or even to live. It's not the view of people from the new Bulgaria, so Ms. Hoffman's analysis of the positive effects of communism on creative life may not have quite described the Bulgarian politicos she praises. Still, I'm grateful she didn't spend the whole book fawning over Polish preeminence either.
Nov 20, 2009 Jim rated it really liked it
After the precipitate fall of the Communist governments of Eastern Europe almost exactly twenty years ago, a whole new genre of post-Communist tourism was born almost overnight. There was Timothy Garton Ash, with his excellent The History of the Present, which surveyed the whole ground even as it shifted, from East Berlin to Yugoslavia. Then a few Eastern Europeans themselves got into the act: Croatian-born Slavenka Drakulic with her illuminating Cafe Europa and now Polish-born Eva Hoffman with ...more

I enjoyed this book about Eastern Europe, post-Communism. The author, Eva Hoffman, visited Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania, and Bulgaria in 1990 and then again in 1991, and this book is her travel memories and her impressions of the political, economic, and social changes occurring then at breakneck pace.
The book really improved as the author moved away from the familiar (Poland, where she grew up, and to a lesser extent, Czechoslovakia) and into unknown territory. I felt the part about ...more

Such a great book. It's not a literary classic or anything, but it's pretty imperative reading for anyone that has any curiosity about history, especially in Eastern Europe. Hoffman travels back to the country of her birth, Poland, right after liberation from the Soviets in 1989 and again a year later.
If Hoffman wrote this now, it would probably be pushed as a memoir. And it would lose much for that. Hoffman does talk about her own experience growing up in the country and what happens to her in ...more

The first chapter sets the tone of what life was like in 1990, in post-USSR world. Hard to imagine but there are conversations had with people experiencing a change to the status quo not unlike one might suffer from during the after effects of a catastrophic natural event.

finally hitting the big 3-0. i blame thicky and all the New X-Men graphic novels he threw at me.
this is a good travelogue of a woman who grew up in Poland, emigrated to the US, and then went back to visit Poland, and 4 other countries in Eastern Europe right after the end of the Cold War. It's a great viewpoint on a time/place that i've honestly not read much about before.

Shelves: non-fiction
I couldn't finish reading this book. The book sounded really interesting and should have been considering the topic, but I struggled through the first 3 sections and finally gave up because it was so hard to get into. I wish it would have been better because I really wanted to learn about what the fall of communism was like since I'm traveling in these countries now.
Aug 26, 2007 bitterpale marked it as to-read
Left over from a Poli Sci class at uni. It was an optional read for the class and I never did it but held onto it to eventually read.
Jun 23, 2009 Emma rated it liked it
A little bit dense, dark and slow at parts but what do you expect in a book about the Soviet legacy!
Jun 16, 2010 John rated it liked it
The politics got a bit dense in spots, but the travel narrative aspect worked well.

Recommends it for: People interested in Easter Europe
A very well written travelogue across Eastern Europe right as the iron curtain fell.

A new year has brought some great news for London's tournament poker players. After extensive discussions with the local authority, the popular Western Club in Acton is once again able to offer guaranteed prize pool tournaments.
The new guaranteed tournament schedule gets under way on 23 January with £3,000 to be won in a special Beat The Bowen Terminator Tournament. The Bowen in question is the Western's tournament director Adam Bowen who will be celebrating his birthday that day.Adam will be the tournament Terminator. As the Terminator he can make no positive action and must call any raise pre flop! After the flop he can pass or call. He cannot be 'killed' before the break, he will simply reload and move tables. After the break he becomes a normal player and has a £50 bounty on his head! The £30 + £3 buy-in will get you a 15,000 Starting Stack with 8,000 bonus chips on offer for an optional extra fiver. The clock is set at 23 minutes with blinds starting at 25/50.The last Terminator event attracted a field of over 100 runners with this one promising to be just as entertaining. For more information, visit The Western Club's Facebook page.Keep up to date with all the news from the poker world by following us on Twitter and Facebook.
The sixth annual edition of Grosvenor Casinos' Goliath tournament series may have begun last week but players are being advised that there is still time to qualify for seats into its prestigious £120 buy-in main event.
Land-based and online gaming products innovator Scientific Games Corporation is set to run its second annual Shuffle Master Classic event next month offering one lucky poker player the chance to walk away with $100,000 in cash.
Land-based casino operator Estoril Sol has been awarded the first online gaming license for Portugal and has teamed up with platform provider Gaming1 to launch the new EstorilSolCasinos.pt domain.

I love this writing. It's very interesting to read. I also like that it's simple and to the point. As a college student interested in politics, alot of the writing I've seen about politics has been very confusing. This is true even after taking political science courses.
Dec 11 Posted 2 years ago
Sadly the online political discussions are becoming more polarizing. It's the risk you take when you use online media to promote your political agenda. We saw the same types of comments here in North Carolina when elected leaders posted condolences regarding Mandela's death.
Dec 11 Posted 2 years ago
When you audience controls you, you cannot win. The example of Ted Cruz is self explanatory, the politician raised an audience of right wing and as soon as he doesn't follow the guidelines he set up before, the audience is trashing him. This article also shows how important precise guidelines are on social media.
Dec 10 Posted 2 years ago
If you want to see some good hate, just look at moveon.org.
Thanks for attempting to turn everything into politics.
Dec 10 Posted 2 years ago
Some folks on Twitter seem to have missed the point of this post. This is not an assessment of the commenters to Cruz. I am not trying to say that only conservatives have criticized Cruz for his kind words about Mandela.
My point is that many, many of the hateful comments about Mandela and about Cruz's expression of his condolences are coming from Ted Cruz's base. It is his strongest fans that are pissed at him for even suggesting that Mandela, his family an South Africa are deserving of kind words at the time of Mandela's death.
The fact that some on the left, who already dislike Cruz, criticize his posts is simply irrelevant to the point of this post.
Regardless of this, I thank everyone for reading, sharing and commenting on this and my other posts. Conversation is king. Carpe colloquium.

What are you most proud of? My nephew was the most beautiful prince I've ever seen. I invented construction of the crown myself, and it looked very natural. Like really made from gold and emeralds! What advice would you give someone starting this project? When I start making a costume - the main help is my invention. Let it lead you!

Welcome to Scrumalicious
Here at Scrumalicious our passion is creating hand-made cakes to delight you. Everything is baked freshly on the premises from top quality ingredients.
We operate from a lovely old shop in the Sandwich town centre conservation zone. All around us are medieval buildings and narrow streets. Perhaps our historic surroundings help to inspire us.
Visitors are warmly invited to drop into our cake shop where they can choose from a variety of hot and cold drinks, cakes, biscuits, savouries and little surprises. The owner, Sally, has taken great care with the décor, fittings and displays. Everything conveys a cosy, rustic feel.
Please take a look at our Cakes & Treats page for examples of the goodies on offer. Our cakes come in both traditional and contemporary style and we cater for a range of dietary requirements including vegan.
We also welcome orders for weddings, birthdays, parties, business meetings and get-togethers. More information may be found on our Special Occasions page.
In August 2015 we extended into next door to create the Delicious Cafe. Now you have much more space to sit down to enjoy our lovely range of eats and drinks. They include sandwiches, paninis, salads, sweet and savoury tarts, hot and cold drinks and (yes!) cakes. Attached to the cafe is a secluded courtyard where you can eat outdoors on a nice day.
Scrumalicious: the best cakes for miles around.

Build a Website
I need to make some simple changes to a .php script. I believe for someone with .php experience it would take you 10 minutes to do this. I need to try and adjust the layout of the script and then also have the script work with my website template. I can't get it to integrate into my website template.

This Week @ MHS
It is a shortened week at the MHS but there are still some excellent programs to take part in. And with only two more weeks left to see our current exhibition, In Death Lamented: The Tradition of Anglo-American Mourning Jewelry, there are plenty of reasons to make a visit!
On Thursday, 24 January 2013, the next installment of our Biography Seminar series will take place. Join us at 5:30pm for Biographer's Round Table: A Conversation with Stacy Schiff. Pulitzer Prize-winning author Stacy Schiff will discuss her career as a writer and biographer with Susan Ware moderating the conversation. Stacy Schiff's most recent book is Cleopatra: A life (2010), which was named one of the top ten books of the year by the New York Times Book Review. Susan Ware is an independent scholar who specializes in 20th century U.S. History, women's history, and biography, and her most recent book is Game, Set, Match: Billie Jean King and the revolution in women's sports (2011). Seminars are free and open to the public. RSVP required. .
Then, on Friday, 25 January 2013, Stephen T. Riley Librarian, Peter Drummey, will present The Real Gettysburg Address. This Exhibition Spotlight will focus on orator Edward Everett, the "other" speaker at the commemoration of the National Cemetery at Gettysburg, and will examine who said what, and why, on that famous day. The talk is free and will begin at 2:00pm.
And, in addition to our main exhibit, do not forget that we also have two exhibits commemorating the 150th anniversary of the end of slavery in the United States. Forever Free: Lincoln and the Emancipation Proclamation, and Lincoln in Manuscript & Artifact are both on view until 24 May 2013. Visit our website and take a look at our events calendar to see what other great programs are down the road!

Answer to Our Prayers!
May 14, 2014
by Thomas(3-20-2010)
Comments (9)
Saturday I told the Community about my need for an appropriate apartment for My Wife and I. Well, yesterday we signed a contract!
Thank You everybody for praying for us - your prayers were heard!
We found a 2 bedroom townhouse in a 4 plex. More mature working couples (not students) live there. It has more space than our current apt and the rent is actually more affordable!
We're very happy and very grateful!
Now, for the actual cleaning, organizing, boxing, moving - well, you know! After 8 years residency in one place, the clutter does tend to take over here and there!
By June 1 we'll have a new home and my lungs will have a new lease on life - literally!
NO SMOKING! Keep them away from your face!

Reviewers disparaging this film may want to take into account that this
was the first film effort of John Milius. Milius (Apocalypse Now,
Conan, Jaws, Dirty Harry, 1941, Wind and the Lion etc.) was a 22
year-old film student at USC when he created this animated feature.
It was a student effort. It was not intended to be a finished commercial film.
Although the production is crude, the film deserves judgment on the basis of the depth of its story line. The story line is about the lack of depth and meaning in pop culture in the U.S. at the time (1966).
Milius does not strive to create "pretty" films. He strives for a deep story line, with "powerful and meaningful" images.
This film is the start of his unique style. It is a style that is emerging, after decades, as a unique characteristic of American Film that has had an uncredited influence on filmmakers across the globe for close to fifty years.
This film is important because it was the beginning point for Milius' contribution of a style emphasizing depth and meaning in American popular films.

Acupuncture In Fort Lauderdale, FL
Danielle DeFreitas, OMD
Traditional Chinese Medicine
For overall wellness & increased healing
TCM Wellness Project helps patients to understand what they can do to slow the process of aging and be healthy. Besides gathering a patient's health history, a thorough observation of the person and every detail about their lifestyle is considered. The Traditional Chinese Medicine Doctor begins by having new patients identify their lifestyle, emotions, environment – everything. We help people to understand that their emotional experiences, environment, work habits, eating habits, personal habits and social networks, all contribute to the aging process and are factors that, when changed appropriately, may lead to regained health.
For those who are afraid of needles we use Acupressure, (stimulating the pressure points with light touch), Qi Gong (breathing technique), Moxibustion (heat therapy), Cupping (loosen tight muscles and remove toxins from the body) and herbal medicine tailor made for each patient. The treatment of acupuncture will involve the insertion of very fine needles into specific areas of the body, which affect a specific organ in order to influence physiological functioning of the body. We also offer Cosmetic acupuncture, which rejuvenates the face and tightens skin for a youthful and velvety appearance and feel. The process takes about one hour.
Every patient is different therefore frequency of visits varies. Visits can be as often as once a week, or as little as a few times a year, depending on what issues the patient is working on. Because we are working with traditional Chinese medicine, treatments are aimed at restoring harmony and bringing the body into balance therefore the use of different practices are necessary.
TCM Wellness Project offers treatments at various locations in Fort Lauderdale, FL. Health insurance carriers are now covering these treatments, check with us to see if your plan will participate. For those patients whose insurance doesn't cover her treatments, TCM Wellness Project works with patients to make it affordable.
A consultation could be the most important step to a real, physical and mental improvement in your life. For a better understanding, contact us.
