How Does Creativity Influence Qi?
What a wonderful inquiry. We can parse it out by beginning with the aspect we regularly occupy ourselves with, and that is Qi. If we agree that everything in the universe is a form of Qi in varying degrees of manifestation from material (i.e. the body) to the immaterial (i.e. thoughts, mind, Shen), as depicted by the character of Qi denoting rice as the material, and vapor or steam as the immaterial, then we can say that Qi and Life Force are synonymous.
Poll Results for the following Question:
Should medical doctors be allowed to perform massage?
Total Respondents: 625
Note: These comments are reproduced as written by visitors
to this Web site.
No, unless they are trained extensively. I honour my 3000 hours of training and feel that if they were to practise it without training it would devalue me.
Yes I believe the Chinese have it right. In China you must be a physician before becoming a massage therapist. This is how seriously mssage therapy (Anma) is taken in the place where it was founded.
No No Leave it to the Massage therapists they know more about the soft tissue, but let the Doctors learn and send people for massages.
First the Doctor needs the training on how to release the problem painfull areas. Does the doctor have the time to do this? Pain or relaxation therapy is a specialty best left for other properly trained therapists to perform.
Yes I am a Certified and Permitted Massage Therapist myself. Will be for one year come September. I completly agree that us Therapists don't have the earned repect the way we should. I had not worked to almost one year as a result. It seems that no one understands that we are healers by nature and do a very good job at doing so. When are we going to get the respect we deserve? I do realize that things get tough, but why make us suffer in the process?
Yes As long as they go through the proper certification and schooling process that registered massage therapist do.
However medical doctors have enough to do, hopefully they will leave that up to the specialist and refer that person that nees massage over to a therapist.
Yes well i think yes as long as they have in their possion a valid massage therapy license
Yes Yes,I believe that Dr's educated in the art of massage have the same legal rights as any Massage Therapist. But the key words here are "EDUCATED". Having a Doctorate does not entitle one to perform surgery, so it shouldn't allow a person to perform massage unless it is part of their education.....reguardless of "scope of practice".
only with the correct training
No No; unless they are registered massage therapists. I would say the same of nurses; if they are RMT's, okay. I sit on an advisory committee - on complimentary care - at MacMastery University, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada; and in discussing education with the chair of the committee I mentioned that in massage college we did 350 hours of anatomy and physiology, she said that that was more A&P than she did in her BScN degree. So, massage therapists have a solid understanding of how the body works and in most cases - comapred to doctors and nurses - a better understanding of the musculature of the body. Also, where in medical or nursing school are massage theory, principles and manipulations taught?
Just a few points to ponder.
S. Cook
Yes Sure,Doctors should be allowed to perform massage, after they go through the training... which lacks greatly in some school's. After all they don't get the (hands on) experience of actually working with the systems of our bodies as a Doctor. Most of them probly are not in good enough shape to perform 5-7 full body massages a day. In a lot of cases 90% of the people graduating are not in good shape. But this is not promoted and emphasized in massage school's. They do need to learn what it takes to be a massage therapist.
Yes Yes, provided they have received the proper techniques and training to relieve the patient's pain; otherwise, give a referral to a professional
Yes Being a 4th year medical student myself demonstrates that obtaining an MD and currently finishing up my massage therapy courses benefits my patients as a whole. With the correct education and training Doctor's have the same training as MT and that's what it takes to help our pt.'s education and experience!
Yes With a minimum of 150 hours of training specifically in massage.
No Nobody should be allowed to perfom the application of massage unless they have been properly trained. Anyone can give a massage but not everyone knows the protocols of treating a patient efectively by performing medical massage. Just like anyone person who has recieved an injection can stick someone but the question is are they trained where they can be affective and also cause no harm
No,I think medical doctors have their own field cut out for them. Some don't take enough time with their patients as it is......patients are hearded through. To get a massage in a doctor's office would be different in the fact that a massage therapist would need to be hired. If doctors would begin this the insurances might listen to how beneficial massage is.....but again the price would be untouchable. Anyway that is my opinion.
No I have read many of the arguements on the yes side - and many of them said "as long as they have the proper training". Well - if an MD had proper training, they would be a massage therapist - and the point would be moot. Doctors don't have the training to do massage - if they want to spend the extra time to add that to the practice, more power to them, but it is essential to have the license, because thier motto is "do no harm", and yes - an improper massage CAN do harm!
No I am in school to become a massage therapist. While many people think that all we learn in school is just how to rub muscles in the right way - this is not the case. We have extensive classes on how each muscle works in conjunction with all the others, and how to "fix" various pathologies of the muscle. There are specific strokes to do for specific injuries, and there are many contraindications. Doctors are taught so much information in Medical school that they would not have time to take the technique classes that are required to proficient in medical massage. Instead - It might be a good idea for massage therapists and MD's to team up together to form a comprehensive treatment plan.
No My opinion is that unless someone has the requisite
certification and training they should not perform
professional massage services.
No Massage is a very specialized technique and should be REFERRED by doctors, yes, but not performed by them.
No Specific indiviuals are allowed to perform "specific" massage as it pertains to thier profession. This would include Dr.s. Should they be able to perform Massage therapy on a whole body? No! Most Physicians while having a more western minded understanding of anatomy & physiology have not got the foggiest idea of what a massage is capable of.
No i think this is going to be out of their scope until they get the correct muscle techniques required of any one entering the profession. it is not required and doctors don't allow the correct time frame to apply such therapies. Why would doctors need to do massage therapies to patients?why can't they have a massage therapist on staff or for a referal....
Yes with additional training of massage. then they can practice if they have to right eduction.
No Not unless they are also licensed massage therapists. They don't have the necessary knowledge and training to do professional massage.
Only with the appropriate training and certification. I'm not opposed to physicians using more touch in their regular services (that could benefit both patient and physician) and it would be wonderful if more physicians understood more about the benefits of massage...but unless they are trained and certified to perform massage, they should not be allowed to charge the pateint more for the service...
Yes I think doctors should be allowed to perform massage as long as they are certified or licensed like everyone else that legitimately practices. Most of them would probably make excellent massage therapists because of their in-depth knowledge of human anatomy and physiology. I've met way to many self-proclaimed "massage therapists" that have no working knowledge of the human body, which is a shame. Obtaining and maintaining an understanding of the human/life sciences is so very important in this field. So yes, as long as the doctor has been properly trained and exercises an open mind and compassion about the subject, I believe they have the right to perform massage on clients. Possibly even the duty to give those services, since most of us know in our hearts the validity of this type of therapy and its effectiveness. Robert Hand (CMT)
Yes Of course they should be allowed to perform massage therapy, however the stigma that therapists receive from physicians should be dissolved.
Yes yes, but still the client to inquire other means of healing also. IT is about the person health right?! that will give a therapist to focus more.
Yes Only if they are fully qualified and have been trained at an approved school. Most medical doctors I know would not have this kind of time to go back to school, but would probably find great benefits if they decided to become licensed as massage therapists as well.
Yes MY GOD YES!!!
What you all fail to realize is that physicians have the highest academic training in health care. There are specialties in the health professions such as physical medicine, physiatry and chiropractic, that utilize massage. But not to worry, 99% of physicians are to busy treating to many patients, and don't have time to perform a 60 minute massage. To the people who state that physicians should have a formal education in massage I say this; a physicians training far outweighs a massage therapists. Like or lump it, thats the way it is. Massage is an instinctual art that a child subconsciously uses to treat any bumped body part. This reaction is an inborn reflex to pain and it is a routine. It is rediculous to say physicians need formal massage training to learn a routine. There are many routines. Physicians already understand in greater depth all of the hard and clinical sciences taught in massage schools and much more. Massage is a very noninvasive procedure and you would have to have a total lack of common sense to hurt someone. Above all do no harm is the oath. I don't believe or see a physician harming anyone with massage. Besides if it wasn't for physicians performing research on massage the profession would not advance due to the majority of uneducated massage therapists not even being able to begin to comprehend how to perform a proper research study. Also, 99.9% of massage therapists only want to massage, do little continuing education and do not want to perform proper research. It's the PT's and Clinical Acupuncturists and Masters of Oriental Medicine we should be worried about. They want to limit our scope. They want to be the goverinig body over us for things like the practice of Shiatsu. They want to limit us to Swedish and western massage techniques. The physicians are our friends. They could fight us on the topic of being direct access providers but they don't! They perform the research we should be doing! Physicians support a broad scope of massage practice while the PT's and the Oriental Medicine masters, "doctors" and clinical acupuncturists want to controll and limit massage. Wake up people! Think... before you speak!
Yes Sort of a silly question, but why not? Should not everyone be able to give and receive massage. Exactly Tha has been happening throughout history. Now, massage may not be profitable enough for an M.D. to keep their malpractice insurance or downtown office and receptionist, but if thats their desire, more power to em. I cannot fathom as to why some voters are against this idea? If the M.D. is successful, many would get bodywork that would otherwise never have it. If the M.D. is not successful, still many would be exposed to bodywork, and perhaps go knocking on the door of the local MT.
Yes Of course! Medical doctors are people too, and many of them became doctors in order to help others. There is no sense denying them what may be a powerful healing tool. That said, the playing field should be level -- medical doctors should have to meet the same massage licensing standards the rest of us have to, without exceptions.
With proper training, it would definitly help them to provide better care to patients.
Yes They should as long as they took the necessary training in touch related modalities.
No No! No! No! We can't diagnose or prescribe, so they shouldn't be able to do massage unless they have had the proper instruction, creditation, and lisencing! What's up with that? That question shouldn't have even needed to be asked! -Sunni with Sunshine Services, VA Beach, VA.
Yes Why not? I do not think that anyone has to worry that they may start anytime soon, as most MD's DC's do not have the time to do STM techniques, unless they employ someone to do so.
Yes why not?
No Doctors are basically not sensitive enough to perform massage and from what so many individuals have stated to me, they are not able to get sufficient time with the doctor for what they are being treated for. Doctors do not spend an hour or more with patients who are trying to obtain preventive treatments with the thought of keeping themselves out of a doctors office.
No I don't think they should be allowed to because then that would put most massage therapists' out of business.
Yes Medical Doctors certainly know the anatomical structures in the body enough to do certain techniques of MT ( I know some that do trigger point and myofascial release). I am not so sure that they could do some techniques without further training. I find it difficult to believe they would have enough time to perform massage, that is what we are for.
Let doctors concentrate on their fields, and I shall do likewise. I have seen and heard of too many ''Oops's'' from what they do as it is. If they dont have the time to spend more than five minutes with a patient, how the hell are they going to get close to doing a remotely deacent massage.
And with the prices they charge for consultations. Imagine what the price of a 30 or 60 minute massage would be... Let them have their fun. Sick jokes also provide a laugh.
Yes as long as they have a massage education
Yes Yes, if they have adequate training
No let the doctors be lazy and soak up their paychecks
No Doctors should have full accreditation and registration as a Massage Therapist if they intend to practice. This would seem a waste of their valuable time when GP's already have time pressure issues to deal with. They cannot be allowed to give a 'quick-fix'. Also, Massage doesn't lend itself to a mechanical approach, rather a 'wholistic' one that takes into consideration the spiritual and emotional aspects of therapy. These aspects are normally not allowed for in the busy schedule Doctors have to comply with. Medical referral is the best option.
Yes But only if they are trained and certified in massage.
No If a doctor has not attended a physical therapy training program or an alternative healing school I feel that they should not be allowed to do massage. Most doctors are not trained in learning palpable skills and therefore have a higher rate I feel of causing a patient further stress to an injury due lack of these skills and could potentally injure a patient or go beyond a patients boundries without a patients conscent and respect of that individual.
they should be allowed to perform once trained and licensed, but massage should not be taken over by the medical community.
No let's preserve the art!
Yes If a doctor wishes to go to the massage therapy schools, then of course they can practice. However, in California for example, massage therapy is still by statute, listed as "adult entertainment". Before any doctor should be allowed to practice massage therapy, the law needs to be changed to get massage therapy into the "health care" codes. Even if doctors dont practice massage therapy, the codes need changing
No No, I believe that doctors need to be educated and licensed in the area of massage therapy if they intend to provide treatment. If not, they should refer their patients to a licensed massage therapist.
Thank You,
Corina Villarreal
Mercedes, Texas
Yes aslong as they have the proper massage training
Yes i think they should be allowed only if they are fully
qualified and have done a massage course. as a massage therapist i feel doctors do not give massage much of a thought so it would be good if they actually were trained in other techniques of healing therefor i think many people would benefit from this.
Yes Yes, only if the medical doctor has had professional training in massage therapy.
No Absolutely not! Massage therapists are not allowed to perform surgery or administer or prescribe medicines, so why should they be allowed to do our job?
Yes Yes, if they go through the proper training/massage school, pass exam, etc. Should a Massage Therapist be allowed practice/perform medicine? Yes, if they go to the proper training/medical school and pass exams, etc.
A typical medical doctor spendsless then 15 minutes w/a patient, would they really want to do massage? A 15 minute chair massage may be?
The issue is one of the oldest tenets in medicine: "First do no harm!" Baseline medical training in human anatomy and physiology is an order of magnitude more comprehensive and detailed than that associated with most massage therapists. Even if most doctors don't massage their clients often enough to acquire the "touch" that most experienced massage therapists take for granted, they are certainly competent to know what areas NOT to massage.
Yes As long as they've attended an accredited school and met the minimum required hours and credits and have passed the state and national certification requirements for any licensed/certified massage therapist, and are required to take the same ethics courses and meet the same recertification requirements and annual continuing education credits; In other words, if they meet the criteria for practicing therapeutic massage, why would there be any question?
No I do not believe medical doctors have the proper training to perform massages. They do not spend 1000 hours learning the proper techniques.
Yes I vote yes and no! I believe doctor's could be allowed to perform massage provided they undergo the same practical training that each particular state/province requires. As with any technical profession, and specifically in our profession, to provide safe and effective massage, persons practising Massage should be expected to perform a certain number of practical hours on a range of client body types, followed by a practical evaluation to ensure quality assurance to the public.
Without these qualifications, the doctor should not be permitted to practice Massage Therapy at his/her leisure. As a Doctor, the public is assured of competent Medical theoretical knowledge, and therefore they may be exempt from certain courses within a Massage Therapy program, however, their practical application of massage, utilizing their theoretical knowledge must be up to par as well.
Kerri Olds, B.Kin,RMT

No "Should medical doctors be allowed to perform massage?" Well, any healthy person should be allowed to perform massage as long as they are properly trained and licensed. However, as a current student of massage therapy, I would not like to see my career choice wiped out by physicians taking this into their own hands (so to speak). From my experience with medical doctors, they simply don't have an hour to work with a client on a personal and spiritual level and the client / patient would ultimately be cheated out of the quality massage experience and care they deserve. So, my response is NO. Keep them distinctly seperate and special unto themselves.
No medical doctors should concentrate on drugs related remedies.
No Medical doctors are not trained in massage or in muscle manipulation. If they went to massage school and learned all the techniques, that would be fine. However, I think it would be best for them to concentrate on their field and allow bodyworkers to do what they specialize in.
Thank you.
No I would not like to see medical doctors doing massage. My experience in life is that they (at least the ones I have had contact with) do not have an adequate knowledge of the muscles, origins, insertions and functions. If doctors want to go through the same training as massage therapists and get licensed, certified, etc., then they should go for it. Licensed massage therapists have had the training to do beneficial, therapeutic massage.

No Now who is stepping on who's toes? LMT's are
so restricted in what we can and can't say and do.
Leave the massage to us and leave the medical
treatments to the doctors!
No In the healthcare system already the M.D. treats patients like cattle why would they ever consider to do Massage therapy and take their time to spend with a patient, let alone the Insurance companies DO NOT cover massage as a benefits...so basicly this is inconceivable that the M.D. would ever do therapy on his/her patient when they cannot even take history on a patient without their assistant doing it for them...instead take two of these pills, go to Physical Therapy for 3x a week for 4 weeks and maybe I'll return your call in the morning.
No Not unless they are Certified or Licenced in Massage Therapy.
No If the drs do massages then they don't need the nurses to help them with the work. So it better for them to not do massages and let us therapists help them like the nurses help them. We therapists take time with the clients and the drs never take thier time with the clients. They (drs) just want to hurry and get the work done. So it better for the drs NOT to perform and massages.
Yes My yes vote is conditional upon the MD completing an appropriate course in whatever modality the indivual wishes to perfoprm.
Same as if the MD wante4d to practice accpunture, he or she would be required to complete a reconized educational program and take whatever exam would be appropiate.
No As a massage therapist I can't and don't diagnos patients or clients because that is not in my scope. I feel that other practioners and therapist believe they can perform massage therapy with a two to three day over-view of the basic skills. I pride myself on being a Massage Therapist and on my continueing education in our field. If we continue to let Healthcare Profesional push us aside and keep the the public ingorant of our true abilities to be a part of the Healthcare Profession (Only does of us who want to be) we will never be able to get pass the "Feel Good" status of massage and empower the public with the Clinical Benifits of our choosen profession.
Marvin Q. Joiner B.S., R.M.T, A.E.S
Yes At first I shuddered at the question. But why not? If one has the desire to learn and incorporate the benefits of a healing touch to their current field, whether it be a medical docor, registered nurse or vet tech, by all means do so. So long as the person has undergone the proper training (not some weekend workshop), and attained certification/licensure.
Yes If we believe that touch is key to healing, to deny any healthcare practitioner the right and encouragement to touch would block one avenue for people to be exposed to touch as part of their healing journey. --Rick
No The medical profession has been "telling" us massage therapists and others for years that we are not medical doctors. For insurance to pay us, most of the time we need a perscription from a doctor okaying our services. We have spent hours and years training for massage as doctors have spent training in their specialty. Massage is our specialty. Medicine is theirs. Lets keep it separate, please.
No Why would they want to? Haven't they got enough to do. They should only be allow if they are trained to do so, just like anyone else.
No A medical degree is no guarantee that the touch will be appropriate, caring, comfortable,present,or ensure the physician understands what he/she is feeling, what depth they are at, or the texture, tonus, and response to their touch by any individual.Technology has replaced "touch" for far too many physicians, and they know it. As a therapist, instructor, and trainer who has worked with our brothers and sisters who are conventionally trained, most have no knowledge and experience regarding the art or science of touch that heals... That is why so many complain about the 'indifferent doctor touch' they or their loved ones receive. As an example, I recently "trained a pediatrician, and working mom whose daughter will not latch, cries and fusses when held, and demonstrates significant stress when doctor/mommy tries to connect with her. There is a happy ending to this...doctor/mom learned in less than an hour how we therapists connect and dialogue thru touch, and has learned a great deal more about the importance of presence, love, and intention,and why there is significant public demand for our care. (They are trainable) Jim Clear NCTMB
No Once a person recieves a "massage certification", they should be allowed to perform massage. If no certification is received, then not even a doctor should be able to perform massage.
No Medical doctors needs to concentrate more on proper evaluation of their patients. A massage therapist often depends on a doctor's expertise in diagnosis and prescription to properly treat their clients.
Although patients may like the idea of getting diagnosed and treated by the same person, a doctor does not have the time to properly warm up the muscle tissue and work the surrounding areas that may also be affected. 'Specificity' can not be properly provided as would be received from a massage therapist.
And imagine what the waiting time would be like at the doctor's office then!!
If a medical doctor wants to provide massage therapy, add a massge therapist to the staff. Chiropractor's recognized the benefits along time ago.

Yes with proper massage training
Yes Here we go again! The same type of inflamatory questions that were asked on Acupuncture Today's web site. Without question the answer is yes, yes, YES!!! Physicians weather MD, DC, DO, DDS, DPM have the greatest academic abilities and are some of the greatest minds in this country. Maybe we should reverse this question and ask if massage therapists should be held to the entrance requirements of physicians as they are in China. Maybe we should make massage therapists complete the much more stiringent academic requirements of physicians. Maybe we should hold massage therapists to the practice standards of physicians. The training and ability of physicians in understanding health is far greater than that of a massage therapist. Besides, massage is such a non invasive therapy that it would be only due to gross incompetance to cause injury. Who is the daft person who thinks up these questions that cause turf wars and rifts between health care professions. We should be looking for ways to work togeather and not create points to be at each others throats. The great Carnack the Magician predicts that future poll questions will be; Should massage, should Chiropractic Physicians practice massage, should Vetrinarians, Podiatrists, Dentists, Osteopaths, etc. etc. etc. Come on people lets get real! Physicians have the gretest amount of training when it comes to the body and should be able to practice massage. Massage therapists on the other hand have far inferior training then physicians and connot practice Medicine. This is a natural law in academics. Whoever has the biggest baddist degree is king! Got it? Good!
Yes They should be allowed to perform massage on clients. However, they should only be allowed to perform if they have taken all the appropriate classes.
No I don't know of any Medical school training that teach,train, or inform for that matter any thing about Massage. I don't know why so many other professional's feel that they can do Massage. None of the many professionals that think or want to do massage would ever let a Massage Therapist or for that matter any one infringe on their training and minimize their training.

PATRICK VIEIRA has slapped down talk over Roberto Mancini's future.
Mancini has been in the spotlight in recent weeks but Vieira insists the
Manchester City boss is a victim of his own success.
Etihad football exec Vieira said: "This is a part of our game and we accept
it, no problem at all."
The Italian led City to the Premier League title last term and yesterday
landed the Manager of the Year gong at the North West Football Awards.
Yet Mancini's future was called into question last week when it emerged he had
held secret talks with Monaco about taking over as boss.
The former Inter Milan boss recently signed a five-year deal and Vieira hopes
he stays for the duration.
Ex-Arsenal ace Vieira added: "I hope [he is here in five years] because I
believe that stability will bring success to the football club, to any
football club.
"When you look Manchester United is a perfect example to follow, so why not?
"I think Mancini, since he's been at this football club his record has been
"So credit to him — you're not winning the cup and winning the league as an
average manager. You have to be good.
"He's a winner. He's working hard all week in training, trying to make the
team focused and is really aware of the tactical aspect of awareness of the
"He is looking for the perfect game and he's really demanding. I think this is
why he's so successful."

Valve's Source SDK Now Supports Oculus Rift
Over on Steam, Valve Software reports that the Source SDK 2013 release now supports the Oculus Rift VR specs and mod developers on Mac OS X and Linux machines. The company is also now using Github to host the source code which is located here, and providing a new license, posted here, that allows mod authors to share their changes to the SDK more easily.
"The other change with the Source SDK is that now Hammer and the other mod tools ship with their respective games instead of as part of the SDK Launcher," Valve said. "The launcher itself is being phased out, so it will disappear from your Tools list."
Information about how to run the tools from the games can be found here.
According to the release notes, running a compatible mod with -vr on the command line will run the mod in stereo and enable head tracking on the Oculus Rift. Playing Source-based games through Rift is as awesome as you would imagine it, with characters standing next to you as if they're really there in physical space. At this point, Rift provides near-perfect immersion, and a must-have for any FPS fan once it finally goes retail in 2014.
The release notes also report that Steam Pipe (the new Steam content delivery system) is supported by the sample mods, and existing mods can change their gameinfo.txt to match the new format and gain Steam Pipe support. Games also now build and run clients on Windows, OSX, and Linux, Valve said, adding that dedicated servers are supported on Windows and Linux.
PC gaming developers can find instructions on getting started with the new Source SDK 2013 on the Valve Developer Community wiki.
spectrewind@eklipz330 : Until it becomes delayed somehow...
As much as I would like to see a version 1.0 of some new hardware released on-time, and bug-free... it is abnormal to have it occur in the PC industry. Oculus would be the exception, a welcome one, but still an exception.
It's all hype until it ships.
everygamerThe Dev kits have already shipped, I should expect to see mine in about a week. They still have a bit go to with the retail version, they need higher resolution and will need to tweak some of its features based on what I have read on the forums but most of the feedback from the developer community that has received the dev kits up to this point have been very positive.
I think the most positive thing so far is that Oculus just received about $16 million in funding, and the founders of the company have been fairly strait forward that the retail version is still a work in progress and that they would rather wait and release it with a good library of games to support it.
I think it has a good likely hood that the game library will exist, just because they have had very good feedback from the industry not just interested consumers. Valve has ported half-life 2, team fortress 2 and now added further support to the Source SDK. Unity 3D the game development platform has added support for the Rift, as well as the Unreal Development Kit and support for the Unreal Engine 4.
They appear to be getting industry support, that is a good first step. Only time will tell, but they have started on a good path.
everygamerOh, and there is no release date for the retail version. It can be hoped that 2014 will see a retail Rift, but they might take their time to do it right rather than rush it to market. They showed a 1080p prototype off at E3 this year, they had the 720p dev kit last year and they shipped those this year. So who knows, maybe a Retail 1080p will see light next year. It would be cool.
cats_PawI can wait till 2015 if its actually as good as they are saying.
Maybe its just me, but a good (and i mean a DAMN GOOD) Virtual Reality can multiply sales on PC by 50. Can you imagine walking in the Citadel in mass effect? (Not to mention Miranda, in the engine room; Liara, etc).
Or beeing in a tropical island while wearing a nanosuit? Assuming it can run Crysis.
Or playing Splinters cell and following your target with your head in the dark (eye tracking will probably be required here).
And how about mirrors Edge ?
So many posibilities .

3 years ago,I did fat transfer, to cheeks\nasolabial folds. But I'm not happy with the outcome, now I have the face too fat, especially when I smile. And, on one side of face, part of it calcified. After,I did 2 small liposuctions (and I improved). But the doctor only remove from above,he didn't remove the calcified fat nor from the nasolabial folds. Can I remove from nasolabial?Or there the face has more nerves than 5-10 mm above(where I have sucess)? It's possible to remove the calcified fat?
Remove Fat From Nasolabial Folds and Calcified Fat from Face?
Doctor Answers 2
Calcified fat
Fat can generally be removed. I have done over 4000 fat grafting procedures and never seen calcified. I have seen the fat get hard and encapsulated which can be broken up with needle sticks and pressure.How do you know it is calified?

Quebec girl tests negative for Ebola virus
Published Saturday, August 30, 2014 3:38PM EDT
Last Updated Saturday, August 30, 2014 4:37PM EDT
A girl who was placed in precautionary isolation at an Ottawa-area hospital has tested negative for the Ebola virus.
The girl was showing possible symptoms of the virus following a recent trip to Sierra Leone in West Africa, prompting her placement in isolation Friday morning, and the submission of her blood for lab tests.
In a statement issued Saturday afternoon, the Karelle Kennedy of Outaouis region public health confirmed that the samples sent to the National Microbiology Laboratory in Winnipeg tested negativefor Ebola.
The girl remains under observation, in stable condition.
Kennedy said Friday the girl was not in contact with health groups or any infected persons during her trip to Africa.
People can only contract Ebola through direct contact with an infected person's blood or other body fluids.
In recent weeks, one patient at a Montreal hospital, and one at a Brampton, Ont. hospital have both tested negative for Ebola.
The current Ebola outbreak, which is the deadliest ever, has killed more than 1,500 people in West Africa, according to the World Health Organization.

Congratulations to our own Chiron Herweg who successfully completed the course work and exam requirements to become a Project Management Professional (PMP®). The credential, awarded by PMI, headquartered in Philadelphia, is considered the most important and widely recognized industry certification for project managers.
To attain certification, Chiron attended a 4-day class covering a 500-page textbook entitled the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK). Upon successfully completing a 4-hour test, Chiron needed to accumulate and document 4,000 project management hours and possess the appropriate college degree to qualify for this premier recognition.
A graduate from Michigan State University with a B.S. in Public Relations, Chiron currently serves as Operations Manager for Consumers and previously was manager for our Milham and Westnedge offices. Heading up our operations department, a team of six, Chiron and his staff recently completed the successful launch of our new mobile banking program for members.
"I've appreciated working with both members and my colleagues," adds Chiron. "It's given me a unique perspective to ensure members receive superior service both on the front line and behind the scenes."
Chiron is from Kalamazoo and active with several local charities including Relay for Life, The First Tee, and Pretty Lake Camp. He loves to golf, is a huge Spartan fan, and enjoys spending time with family and friends.

OFA: Be sure to use Thanksgiving dinner to convince relatives to buy a plan on the ObamaCare exchange
posted at 6:11 pm on November 25, 2013 by Allahpundit
Via Jonah Goldberg. Believe it or not, these soulless robots have prepared an actual talking-points memo for the occasion replete with tips on how to plan your "talk." My favorite: "Integrate the talk into family time." Good advice — and for my money, the more dramatic the integration, the better. When your cousin pulls out baby pictures of her newborn and tries to pass them around, grab her arm gently but firmly and say, "Hey — isn't there something more important we should be discussing?"
Don't be fazed by the stunned silence that follows. That's your opening to grab your iPad and start the Powerpoint on enrollment that you've prepared.
I like the idea that you, by dint of having donated to Obama and happily swallowed endless lies about keeping your plan and your provider network, are necessarily the "voice of reason" at the dinner table this year. In the unlikely event that you find yourself seated across from one of these benighted schmucks, you can play it three ways: One: Deflect. Change the subject. Bring up "The Walking Dead" or how boring the NFL is this year or whether maybe Orwell had a point about statism's insidious power to dehumanize people by reducing them to cogs in a government propaganda machine. Two: Engage. Ace has prepared a helpful talking-points memo of his own in case you find yourself at a loss upon being pitched on O-Care by the same arrogant little sh*t who called you ignorant for doubting that the program would work at Thanksgiving dinners past. (If Ezra Klein has any conservative relatives, he or she is about to have the best Thanksgiving ever.) Three: If there are people at the table considering buying a plan on the exchange, wait patiently until they're done cursing Obama for having forced their insurer to cancel their old coverage and then prepare them for how to shop on the exchange. For starters, don't believe the prices quoted on Healthcare.gov:
The troubled federal website allows visitors to anonymously surf the site for exchange plans sold in their areas and provides them with estimated prices for each health plan. (Just click on the "See Plans Now" button on the homepage and follow instructions.) But here's the problem: The monthly premium estimates provided on the website do not consider a person's specific age, household size or tobacco use — all critical factors when estimating premiums…
For our family of four, HealthCare.gov offers six Silver plans: four Independence Blue Cross plans and two Aetna plans. (We considered only the Silver plans to keep it simple.) The HealthCare.gov estimates ranged from $708.84 per month to $982 per month.
Now, HealthCare.gov doesn't ask for ages or even an age range when providing plan information and premium estimates for family coverage. All it wants to know is the visitor's home state and county.
ValuePenguin.com asks for a little more information. Besides county and state, window shoppers have to provide household size, as well as ages and tobacco use for all family members. That website's estimates were higher — much higher. A whopping 69 percent higher for each exchange plan. The premium range: $1,201.44 to $1,666 per month. (And, remember, that's for a family of nonsmokers.)
They might be eligible for a subsidy, but then again they might not. And their subsidy might be illegal depending upon where they buy the plan: If they get it from Healthcare.gov or directly from an insurer, the rug could be pulled out from under them next year. Buying one of the cheaper "bronze" plans on the exchanges will help cut their cost, but they need to be careful and read the fine print. The bronze plans are the ones with the highest deductibles and the smallest provider networks. They might be better off with silver or even gold, if they can afford it. At around this point, someone at the table's going to pipe up and say, "But why are they so expensive?" That's when the real fun begins.
Actually, I think that last bit explains why OFA is doing this, as creepy as it seems. They know ObamaCare's going to come up at a lot of dinner tables this year and they know that most of what's said won't be happy. The talking-points memo isn't meant to be followed to the letter — I hope — it's just a way of nudging liberals to encourage people to reserve judgment when the subject does come up. In fact, given that young adults are (a) O-Care's target consumers and (b) the demographic that's probably most likely to click on a link from OFA, the whole "talking-points memo" is really just a way to encourage the people reading it to sign up themselves. There's a lot of "young healthies" out there to be gouged before this boat will float.
There … sure is a lot of this stuff floating around on lefty sites right now, though. Exit quotation:
Devoting our whole show on Wednesday to how to talk about politics, news with conservative family members. Should be fun!
— Christopher Hayes (@chrislhayes) November 25, 2013
Update: Via Mark and Mollie Hemingway, "The 5 Most Insane Obamacare Talking Points You Can Expect To Hear From Your Crazy Uncle This Week."
Here's a sample response you might use. "That would be great. Except that I'm going to be washing dishes and cleaning up for a bit. How about you go into the guest room and use the computer in there to sign me up. As soon as you're done, you can have some pie."
The key is to get them to make a commitment not to come out until they've finished signing you up. Remember their conversation tip — Ask them to make a plan, and commit to it. Ask them to commit to finishing the sign-up before they come out of the room.
Since nobody can actually sign up for Obamacare, they'll be busily trying to operate the web site for the duration of your visit.

moreDemocracy: Problems and Perspectives provides a critical review of the scholarly and political debates about democratic thought and of arguments about democratic practice. On the basis of an interpretation of Immanuel Kant's political philosophy, the book presents democracy as a regime type in which citizens, who are united to give law, rule themselves and where such self-rule is exercised by citizens who embrace local and global patriotism. In the course of developing this idea of democracy, the book addresses issues such as human rights and their relationship to democracy; the policy of the global promotion of human rights and democracy; sovereignty and the nation-state; popular sovereignty and multicultural citizenship; and cosmopolitanism and cosmopolitan democracy. The book will stimulate controversial discussions about the varieties of democratic imaginations and visions, past and present as well as the future of democracy in the current stage of globalisation. less

What's the Best Reusable Water Bottle?
Find out how to choose the best reusable water bottle, plus how to clean your water bottle and where to refill.
There are plenty of good reasons why many universities and communities have enacted bans on single-use plastic water bottles, following in the footsteps of Concord, Massachusetts, which in January 2013 became the first town in the U.S. to ban the sale of single-use plastic water bottles. By switching to a tap-filled reusable water bottle, you'll drink water just as pure and help reduce the global glut of plastic bottles.

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. – No. 22/24 Northern Arizona (3-1, 1-0 Big Sky) trounced No. 7 Montana (3-1, 0-1 Big Sky) tonight in front of a sellout crowd of 12,640 screaming Lumberjack fans in its Big Sky opener. The Lumberjacks scored the first two touchdowns of the game and never relinquished the lead as they defeated the Grizzlies 34-16 tonight at the Walkup Skydome.
"I am very proud of all members of our football program," said head coach Jerome Souers. "Our coaching staff prepared our team very well and both (Rich) Scangarello and (Andy) Thompson called a great game."
Quarterback Kyren Poe recorded his best throwing night of the season as the sophomore completed 22-of-30 passes for 242 yards with only one miscue on the night.
Senior running back Zach Bauman posted his second consecutive 100-yard rushing game as he finished with 118 yards on 21 carries. Bauman recorded back-to-back touchdowns for the Lumberjacks to start the game for his second and third touchdowns of the season. The Chandler native also added 40 receiving yards to finish with 158 all-purpose yards on the night.
Montana entered the game with the best passing efficiency in the FCS, but the Lumberjacks were able to slow down the Grizzlies' offense as they weren't able to get on the scoreboard until late in the first quarter after a 42-yard field goal by Ben Worst.
The Lumberjacks added to their point total with fumble recoveries by both Ryan Reardon (second quarter) and Marcus Alford (third quarter) that led to touchdowns for NAU.
"The defense has been the cornerstone of our program," said Souers. "They have been the leaders and those two scores helped carry this team to today's win."
The Grizzlies added 13 points in the fourth quarter after Jordan Johnson found Mitch Saylor for a 15-yard touchdown pass with 7:50 to go, followed by a nine-yard pass to Jordan Harper for the Grizzlies' final score of the night with 3:02 left to go in the game.
Andy Wilder recorded his first pair of field goals this season in the fourth quarter. Wilder hit a 23-yard field goal with 7:50 on the clock, and then connected on a 46-yard field goal with 5:01 left to play.
NAU's 36-point performance tonight was the most points scored by the Lumberjacks all season. The Lumberjacks finished with 416 yards of total offense, while holding the Grizzlies to 347 total yards.
Alex Holmes was the Lumberjacks' leading receiver with 68 yards on seven catches. Holmes also completed a 25-yard pass to Poe in the first quarter. Austin Hasquet and Blair Wishom led the Lumberjack defense with nine tackles apiece.
"I have been here for three years now and that was the most electrifying crowd I have ever been around," said Poe. "I hope they can keep it up because it makes us play better and we feed off the Dome Field Advantage."
Northern Arizona will hit the road for the next two games with trips to Montana State (Oct. 5) and Sacramento State (Oct. 12).

Detroit Film Theatre
January 29 & 30, 2011
Peter Miller's terrific new documentary portrays the contributions of Jewish major leaguers and the special meaning that baseball has had in the lives of American Jews. More than a film about sports, this is a story of immigration, assimilation, bigotry, heroism, the passing on of traditions, and the shattering of stereotypes.
Graced by interviews with dozens of passionate and articulate fans, writers, executives, and especially players including Al Rosen, Kevin Youkilis, Shawn Green, Bob Feller, Yogi Berra, and a rare talk with Hall of Fame pitcher Sandy Koufax. Fans including Ron Howard and Larry King connect the love of baseball to their own lives, and to the turbulent history of the last American century. The rich and insightful narration is by Dustin Hoffman. (90 min.)

Brain Twister HTML version
And, besides, there was probably nothing happening anyway. Things
had, he recalled with faint pleasure, been pretty quiet lately. Ever since
the counterfeiting gang he'd caught had been put away, crime seemed to
have dropped to the nice, simple levels of the 1950's and '60's. Maybe, he
hoped suddenly, he'd be able to spend some time catching up on his sci-
entific techniques, or his math, or pistol practiceÉ .
The thought of pistol practice made his head begin to throb with the
authority of a true hangover. There were fifty or sixty small gnomes in-
side his skull, he realized, all of them with tiny little hammers. They
were mining for lead.
"The lead," Malone said aloud, "is farther down. Not in the skull."
The gnomes paid him no attention. He shut his eyes and tried to relax.
The gnomes went right ahead with their work, and microscopic regi-
ments of Eagle Scouts began marching steadily along his nerves.
There were people, Malone had always understood, who bounced out
of their beds and greeted each new day with a smile. It didn't sound pos-
sible, but then again there were some pretty strange people. The head of
that counterfeiting ring, for instance: where had he got the idea of pick-
ing an alias like AndrŽ Gide?
Clutching at his whirling thoughts, Malone opened his eyes, winced,
and began to get dressed. At least, he thought, it was going to be a peace-
ful day.
It was at this second that his private intercom buzzed.
Malone winced again. "To hell with you," he called at the thing, but the
buzz went on, ignoring the code shut-off. That meant, he knew, an emer-
gency call, maybe from his Chief of Section. Maybe even from higher up.
"I'm not even late for work yet," he complained. "I will be, but I'm not
yet. What are they screaming about?"
There was, of course, only one way to find out. He shuffled painfully
across the room, flipped the switch and said:
"Malone here." Vaguely, he wondered if it were true. He certainly
didn't feel as if he were here. Or there. Or anywhere at all, in fact.
A familiar voice came tinnily out of the receiver. "Malone, get down
here right away!"
The voice belonged to Andrew J. Burris. Malone sighed deeply and felt
grateful, for the fiftieth time, that he had never had a TV pickup installed
in the intercom. He didn't want the FBI chief to see him looking as hor-
rible as he did now, all rippled and everything. It wasn'tÑwell, it wasn't
professional, that was all.

Venue Description:


text: No recent wiki edits to this page. In Rage, the wingstick is basically a deadly tri-boomerang. The user throws it, it flies toward the target, and (if it doesn't get destroyed on impact), it flies back to the user, who can catch it and reuse it. If thrown at an enemy's head it can cut clean through his/her throat, beheading the unlucky person. The wingstick is a craftable item, meaning that the player can make more at any time, assuming there are sufficient materials available.The wingstick can be upgraded as well. Later in the game schematics can be found that allow the player to create advanced wingsticks that can hit multiple targets before returning. These can also be crafted in the field, but require more materials to be made.Also appears as a cosmetic item for the Engineer in Team Fortress 2.

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
It's safe to say that the 2012 season for the Red Sox was a complete disaster, from the Bobby Valentine drama to the departures of several key players, including Kevin Youkilis, Adrian Gonzalez, Carl Crawford and Josh Beckett. Another notable headache was pitcher Alfredo Aceves.
With Andrew Bailey on the disabled list to start the season, the Sox needed a fill-in closer. Bobby V chose Aceves to assume the closer role in the interim. Considering Aceves led the league with eight blown saves, it's clear he was not the right guy for the job.
Aceves finished 2-10 with a 5.36 ERA, 75 strikeouts, 1.32 whip and 25 saves. In addition to the rough year, Aceves became a bit of a distraction for the team. So, Aceves has to go, right?
Wrong. The Red Sox would be smart to bring him back.
In defense, Aceves has never been a closer, instead serving as a middle/long reliever and a starter in his career.
Before 2012, Aceves only had three career losses and never finished with an ERA higher than 3.54 (2009 with the Yankees) in any season.
Just because he had a rough season, people seem to want him out rather than giving him another chance. If he does return (which he should), Aceves will never be a closer but should still be part of the bullpen.
When the firing of Bobby V came shortly after the Sox season ended, I'm sure Red Sox fans and players were happy with the move. Bobby V caused problems all year, from when he called out Kevin Youkilis's commitment to the game to telling the media David Ortiz did not really want to play at the end of the year.
One player in particular that had a big problem with Bobby V was Aceves, who was suspended by the team after getting into a heated argument with Valentine over the use of Andrew Bailey in a save situation.
His relationship with Valentine likely led to his subpar year. With John Farrell now leading the Sox, fans should be patient to see how Aceves turns it around rather than judging him based solely the 2012 season.
In his first season with the Red Sox in 2011, Aceves finished 10-2 with a 2.61 ERA, 1.11 whip, and 80 strikeouts. If Aceves can get back to these types of numbers next season, then his 2012 season could be considered an off-year.
The 2012 season was not just a disaster for Aceves, but for the whole team. Heading into 2013 with a new manager, the team is going to change for the better. One of the changes will be Aceves turning himself around to the way he has pitched in the past.
Still just 29, Aceves still has plenty of baseball left ahead of him.
Here's why the Red Sox should resign him.
Tags: Adrian Gonzalez, Alfredo Aceves, Andrew Bailey, Bobby Valentine, Carl Crawford, Josh Beckett, Kevin Youkilis

Peace and Quiet by the Blue Ridge Parkway
Blue Ridge Manor Bed & Breakfast • Cana, VA
Escape Kit
- A Two-Night Stay for Two in a Guest Room
- Daily Breakfast for Two
The Destination
Ensconced in the stillness of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the town of Cana, Virginia, is the perfect place to do, well, a whole lot of nothing. Just try pulling up a rocking chair before dusk, looking out onto the misty mountains as the sun sets behind them, and try to argue otherwise. But with the Blue Ridge Parkway less than ten minutes north—not to mention New River Trail State Park 25 minutes away—this little community of about 1,500 people offers outdoor enthusiasts and sightseers alike a whole lot of action, too.
The Digs
Tucked away on a 36-acre farm and surrounded by pick-your-own fruit orchards, Blue Ridge Manor Bed & Breakfast offers guests a quiet hilltop retreat just four miles from the Blue Ridge Parkway and within 25 miles of more than 10 wineries. Here, handmade fences, weeping willow trees, dozens of species of birds, and a few ducks that frequent the property's fully stocked pond lend the place an authentic air of bucolic charm.
Each of three rooms features high-thread-count linens atop a full-size bed, intoxicating mountain views, a private entrance, a remodeled bathroom, an in-room fireplace, and complimentary wireless Internet. In the morning, a delectable three-course meal awaits. Juice, coffee, tea, and milk are accompanied by dishes like baked apple pancakes or orange French toast with bacon, eggs, omelets, and sausage.
"A cozy, quaint, and secluded retreat. The perfect place to get away! Darlene was an amazing hostess. We couldn't have picked a better place."-- LivingSocial Member

Tell us if this sounds familiar: You check the mirror before you leave the house, and it looks fab. Another mirror check a few hours later? Your hair has morphed into a frizzy mess. Put a stop to unruly hair with this award-winning glossing cream from Fekkai. Just a tiny amount is all it takes to lock in shine (and your latest blowout) and tame frizz throughout the day.
I have a strange type of hair that's frizzy, thin, straight, and wavy all at the same time. I've used this every day since receiving my sample, and it's the only thing that can tame this mane. If I ever travel and forget it (which happens way too often), I can immediately feel the difference. My hair stays silky and manageable all day long! It's one of the more expensive products I've purchased, but the full sized tube lasts forever and the extra money spent is well worth it.5
I have tried probably a zillion hair products in my life and this is by far my favorite. I put it on towel dried hair after the shower. A little goes a long way..I have long, thick, wavy hair that loves to frizz. I use a dime to nickel sized amount (no joke...with other products I have to use handfuls.) I let my hair air dry, while occasionally brushing the waves out and it dries perfectly with no frizzing! I don't even have to use a flat iron on my hair. I wish I would have found this product years ago. I would caution people with thin hair to just use a tiny dab...the first time I tried this product I used way too much and it did cause my hair to look greasy (my fault, not the product's)5
