Have you ever hit a wall?
You know that place you get to where you've been cruising along, everything has been falling into place and then just out of nowhere you hit a wall.
And most things seem like a struggle. It feels like you're dragging around this sack full of concrete and it's taking every bit of mental energy you have left to keep on top of things.
Yep, I get that too.
Recently it has surprised a few people in my life that I hit these major walls too. I work each day at driving myself, feeling motivated and passionate, giving thanks for the amazingness that is my life, and for all the opportunities to come. Every morning I set my day up so I can be the best version of myself, to inspire others and help them thrive. Most days this cultivates incredible energy in me and then on occasion, I hit that wall.
It's what I do when I hit that wall that determines the outcome, and I wanted to share that with you because I hear many stories of people really beating themselves up when this happens in their lives and I'm here to tell you, there's a much more effective way.
The first thing I do is recognise I'm there. It's a feeling of brain clog and fog because I've pushed my cognition beyond its current capacity. While I'm expanding my mental fitness, I need to validate when it needs a rest.
I then accept where I am at, I don't fight it. I don't try to climb it or bust through it. I give myself absolute permission to be there and then I step away.
I put whatever it is that got me there away. I close my computer; my notebook (the paper and mental one) and I do something different. I watch a movie, I go shopping, I go out to lunch, and I throw myself into the weekend or take myself fishing. I do anything that is as far away as possible from the wall. This might take a few hours or a few days. However long it takes, I don't concern myself with because I've learnt that if I give myself some real space, I rejuvenate and the wall sinks into the ground, once again opening up the pathway I've been paving.
The benefit of this process is a lack of emotional hangover. Without beating yourself up with unrealistic expectations, there are no third party emotions to also manage. You're free to relax, enjoy and feel even more alive when you're back on track.

This present embodiments relate to manipulating contrast agents. For contrast agents with drugs, fragmentation of the contrast agents away from the tissue for treatment is generally not desired. Release of drugs in a center of a vessel may lead to the drugs not being applied to the desired vessel wall.
Acoustic radiation force is used to displace the contrast agents towards the tissue to be treated or into a greater concentration, but while minimizing destruction. Acoustic radiation force may improve the binding efficiency of targeted contrast agents, such as increasing a number of drug filled contrast agents that bind with a vessel wall, activated endothelium or other area.
Radiation force increases with greater resonance with the contrast agents. The displacement increases linearly with increasing pulse length. Greater resonance and long pulse length may be used for displacement while minimizing fragmentation. Fragmentation is weakly a function of pulse length, such as the contrast agent slowly shrinking due to the acoustic radiation force until the frequency of the force is low relative to the resonant size of the contrast agent. Fragmentation is more strongly a function of the mechanical index, or the peak negative pressure divided by the square root of the center frequency. Therefore, low mechanical index is used for generating radiation force without destroying the contrast agent.
Low mechanical index B-mode imaging of contrast agents may allow imaging of contrast agents while minimizing destruction. Pulsed waves are used for imaging. Contrast agents have been imaged in combination with application of therapeutic ultrasound energy. The imaging and therapy pulses are sequentially transmitted. The therapy pulses are used to increase a temperature and associated uptake characteristic of tissue for drug delivery.
By way of introduction, the preferred embodiments described below include methods, systems and instructions for manipulating contrast agents while ultrasound imaging or for manipulating contrast agents with ultrasound. Continuous waves for acoustic radiation force are transmitted. Substantially simultaneously, pulsed waves for imaging are transmitted. Low mechanical index continuous and pulsed waves may be used to increase binding efficiency of drug containing contrast agents with the tissue for treatment. Various techniques may be used to minimize the effect of the continuous waves on imaging with the pulsed waves. The acoustic radiation force may be transmitted with an amplitude profile and/or unfocused or defocused.
In a first aspect, a method is provided for manipulating contrast agents and ultrasound imaging. Continuous wave acoustic signals are transmitted to a region including contrast agents. Substantially simultaneously with the continuous wave acoustic signals, pulsed wave acoustic signals are transmitted to the region.
In a second aspect, a method is provided for manipulating contrast agents and ultrasound imaging. Contrast agents are manipulated or displaced with acoustic radiation force while minimizing fragmentation of the contrast agents. A multiple dimensional region including the contrast agents is imaged substantially simultaneously with manipulating the contrast agents.
In a third aspect, a method is provided for manipulating contrast agents with ultrasound. Continuous wave acoustic radiation force is transmitted from a transducer to a region including contrast agents. The transmission is performed with an unfocused or a defocused wavefront from the transducer.
In a fourth aspect, a method is provided for manipulating contrast agents with ultrasound. Acoustic radiation force is transmitted from a plurality of elements to a region including contrast agents. The transmitting is performed with an amplitude profile, at a face of the plurality of elements, with a first generally wedge shape.
The present invention is defined by the following claims, and nothing in this section should be taken as a limitation on those claims. Further aspects and advantages of the invention are discussed below in conjunction with the preferred embodiments and may be later claimed.
The components and the figures are not necessarily to scale, emphasis instead being placed upon illustrating the principles of the invention. Moreover, in the figures, like reference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout the different views.
A transducer, system and method generate acoustic radiation force. The acoustic radiation force is directed to a region to increase targeted contrast agent binding efficiency. Continuous waves are used to provide low mechanical index with a large number of cycles to increase displacement. Defocusing the continuous wave beam further reduces the mechanical index while increasing the number of cycles applied to the contrast agents. Imaging is provided at a same time to monitor the tissue, vessel or efficacy of the targeting. Pulsed waves are transmitted and received for low mechanical index imaging while the continuous waves are transmitted. Since both low mechanical index acoustic radiation force and imaging pulses use low transmit power to limit fragmentation of contrast agents, a same power supply may be utilized in both modes.
The transducer 14 is a piezoelectric or a capacitive micro electromechanical ultrasound transducer. The transducer 14 has one or more elements 22 for transducing between electrical and acoustical energies. In one embodiment, the transducer 14 includes a single linear array of elements 22, such as a flat or a curved linear array. In other embodiments, the transducer 14 is a two-dimensional array, a 1.5 dimensional array or other multi-dimensional configurations of elements 22. The array of elements 22 is configured for insertion into a patient or use external to a patient with or without mechanical rotation or position tracking devices.
The transducer 14 is a standard imaging transducer, such as a transducer associated with half wavelength spacing of elements 22 sandwiched between a backing block for absorbing acoustic energy and one or more matching layers for matching the acoustic impedance of the elements 22 to a patient.
In an alternative embodiment, the elements 22 of the transducer 14 are separated into two or more sub apertures 24 as shown in
In yet other embodiments, one or more elements 22 between each sub aperture 24 are disconnected or dead to avoid acoustical cross talk. Different sub apertures 24 may be provided on different sub arrays. The elements 22 or transducer structure of each sub array are optimized, such as through element size, shape, type, matching layer, lens or material, to operate at different frequency bands or with different spectral sensitivities for continuous and pulsed wave operation. Bi- or multi-layer elements 22 may be used to provide different spectral sensitivity for different sub apertures 24. For example, the continuous wave transmit signal is applied to both transducer layers of a bi-layer element 22. For pulsed wave operation, a 180 degree or other phase shift is applied between the transducer layers for both transmit and receive operation. Any one or more of the different embodiments of the transducer 14 for minimizing interference may be used, such as providing combinations of two or more of the embodiments.
The transducer 14 is designed for operation within a frequency band. For example,
The transmit beamformer 12 is a waveform generator, pulser, digital-to-analog converter, switches or other source of electrical excitations for imaging and acoustic radiation force transmissions. For imaging, the transmit beamformer 12 generates waveforms for each of a plurality of channels or transducer elements 22, such as 128 pulsed waveforms, separately delayed and apodized for focusing transmissions along scan lines within a field of view 30. Based on the delays and apodization, multiple transmissions may be sequentially scanned across substantially parallel scan lines in the entire field of view 30. The field of view 30 is formed in response to the scan pattern, such as a linear, sector or Vector® scan patterns. The different waveforms are provided to the elements 22 in the sub aperture 24 for pulsed wave operation.
For acoustic radiation force, the transmit beamformer 12, using the same or different components, also generates one or more continuous waves. For example, continuous waves are generated for each of a plurality of elements 22 in one or more sub apertures 24 for continuous wave transmission. The continuous waves are continuous in that the waves are substantially longer than pulsed waves, such as pulsed waves include 1-5 cycles and continuous waves including 20 or more cycles. A continuous wave may have a beginning and an end. The continuous waves are focused through apodization and/or relative phasing. In other embodiments, the continuous waves are defocused or unfocused, such as associated with a diverging wavefront or a substantially infinite focus.
Referring again to
The transmit beamformer 12 electrically connects with the transducer 14 for generating transmissions of acoustic energy or transmit pulses in response to the electrical signals from the transmit beamformer 12. The acoustic energy transmitted includes one of imaging or acoustic radiation force pulses. Imaging pulses are transmissions adapted for generating an image of the field of view 30, such as sequential transmissions of narrow beams sequentially focused along a plurality of scan lines. Acoustic radiation force pulses include transmissions adapted for displacing contrast agent and/or enhancing drug delivery.
The receive beamformer 16 generates receive beams for imaging. The receive beamformer 16 applies various delays and apodization to electrical signals received from elements 22 of the transducer 14 for the pulsed wave sub aperture 24 and sums the signals to generate a receive beam representing one or more scan lines in response to each of the pulsed wave transmissions.
The image processor 18 is one or more of an application specific integrated circuit, general processor, digital signal processor, memory, filter, other digital circuitry, analog circuitry, a combination thereof or other devices for detecting and processing information from the received, beamformed signals for imaging. In one embodiment, the image processor 18 is a B-mode or Doppler detector. For example, the amplitude of an envelope associated with the received signals is detected. As another example, a frequency shift or velocity, magnitude of a Doppler signal or energy, or variance is detected by Doppler or correlation processing for flow or tissue motion imaging. As yet another example, multiple transmit pulse with different amplitudes and/or phasing is used to identify information at selected odd, even or other harmonics using a B-mode or Doppler detector, such as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,602,195, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. Other processors for one-dimensional, two-dimensional or three-dimensional imaging may be used.
A two or three-dimensional image is generated using any of the B-mode, Doppler or other imaging methods. The detected information from the processor 18 is provided to the display 20. An image representative of the imaging pulses is generated on the display. Various combinations or single types of images are displayed substantially simultaneously, such as one or more of a B-mode or Doppler image.
Using the system 10 described above, the field of view 30 is imaged. The imaging system 10 and the same transducer 14 provide acoustic output for imaging and to manipulate contrast agents. Any of various imaging methods are used to identify a region of interest. Acoustic radiation force is used within the localized region of interest to displace contrast agents. The displacements increase the binding efficiency for selected tissue and/or increase a concentration of contrast agents in a region. By localizing contrast agents, drugs carried by or used to form the contrast agents are most effective where needed, minimizing drug dosages or side effects outside of the region of interest.
In act 40, the region 50 for application of acoustic radiation force is identified. The imaging field of view 30 is scanned and imaged, such as using B-mode imaging with pulsed waves. The region 50 is a vessel, chamber, organ or other part of the patient. The region 50 is identified by user selection, such as placing a border or selecting a point associated with the region 50. Alternatively, the region 50 is identified automatically by thresholding, border detection, flow detection or other image processing. The region 50 is identified with or without contrast agents being in the region 50.
Prior to, during or after the scan, contrast agents are injected, ingested or otherwise provided into the patient. The contrast agents are microspheres or other agents with or without drugs. The contrast agents have fairly uniform or diverse sizes, such as being 1-5 microns in diameter. The contrast agents are provided upstream or at the region 50 of interest. A single bolus or more continuous stream of contrast agents is provided.
In act 42, contrast agents are manipulated with acoustic radiation force. Acoustic radiation force is transmitted as continuous wave acoustic signals to the region 50 with contrast agents. The transmission may begin before contrast agents enter the region 50. The continuous waves are steered or directed towards the region 50 based on the identification of the region 50. Alternatively, the continuous waves are applied generally within a specific portion of or the entire field of view 30. The continuous wave acoustic signals operate as transmit only waves for displacing contrast agents, such as pushing the contrast agents away from the transducer 14, along a beam direction or away from a beam as a function of the wavefront.
The field of application of the acoustic radiation force from the transducer may be controlled for manipulating the contrast agents. The continuous waves are transmitted from a plurality of elements with an amplitude profile set to generate the desired energy fields, such as having spatial variation across the transducer 14. The continuous waves are unfocused, but defocused or focused beams may be used with the amplitude profile. The amplitude profile 54 at the face of the elements has a generally wedge shape in the embodiments shown in
The wedge shape has a linear (shown), curved or nonlinear shape extending from a lesser value at or adjacent to one edge and a greater value at or adjacent to another edge. In
In act 44, pulsed wave acoustic signals to the region 50 and/or the field of view 30. Any of various imaging pulses are transmitted. For example, pulses for B-mode or Doppler imaging are transmitted. For B-mode imaging, a 1-5 cycle pulse is transmitted along each of the scan lines within the field of view 30. For Doppler imaging, a plurality of transmit pulses for determining a Doppler coefficient, correlation or flow characteristic are transmitted along each scan line. Other imaging pulses are possible. The transmit pulses have a transmit power determined from the number of cycles, amplitude and pulse repetition frequency of the transmit pulses. The transmit pulse pressure is limited by the Food and Drug Administration to particular mechanical indexes within the field of view. Typically, ultrasound systems provide a transmit pressure near the maximum mechanical index. To avoid fragmentation, the pulsed wave acoustic signals have a transmit pressure less than the mechanical index where fragmentation occurs. For example, a particular contrast agent may have a contrast agent fragmentation threshold of 0.4; therefore, an example pulsed wave should have an MI less than 0.4 to avoid fragmentation.
A multi-dimensional image is generated in response to echoes from the pulsed wave acoustic signals. The field of view 30 is determined by the position of the transducer 14, the steering of the imaging transmissions and the selected depths of viewing. The field of view 30 is optimized to view a potential region of interest and surrounding tissue. The received echoes from the field of view 30 are detected, scan converted or otherwise processed to generate a two dimensional image or a three dimensional representation.
The imaging or pulsed wave transmissions of act 44 and associated receive events are performed substantially simultaneously with the transmission of continuous wave acoustic signals in act 42. Substantially simultaneous includes simultaneous or overlapping transmissions for at least one continuous wave element and one pulsed wave element. Due to steering, generation of acoustic energy by some elements within the pulsed or continuous wave aperture may not overlap in time with the generation of acoustic energy by other elements. By transmitting pulsed waves while continuous waves are transmitted, imaging during application of acoustic radiation force is provided. The user may observe the effects of the acoustic radiation force, monitor a treated area or observe contrast agents.
In act 48, a multiple dimensional region including the contrast agents is imaged substantially simultaneously with manipulating the contrast agents. Since the pulsed waves are transmitted at a substantially same time as the continuous waves, the echoes may be received substantially simultaneously with the transmission of the continuous waves. The echoes may be received after ceasing the continuous wave transmissions.
The received echoes are used for B-mode imaging, Doppler, phase inversion, pulse inversion or other imaging. For example, the imaging disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,602,195, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference is used. Imaging as a function of a cubic fundamental by relative amplitude weighting and/or phasing of the transmitted pulsed waves and/or received echoes. Different harmonics, including or excluding the transmitted fundamental frequencies, may be selectively included or minimized from the signals used for imaging by different combinations of number of pulses, apertures, weighting and/or phasing. For example, information is provided at non-linear fundamental or harmonic frequencies.
For pulsed wave transmissions, three different transmit events along a same or adjacent scan lines are performed. One or more of the different transmissions are associated with a different transmit power level. In a first transmit event, the continuous wave transmissions are performed substantially simultaneously with the pulsed wave transmissions, but on different sub apertures 24. For a second transmit event for pulsed wave transmissions, the pulsed waves are transmitted on all of the sub apertures 24 and the continuous wave transmissions are ceased. By doubling or increasing the number of elements for pulsed wave transmissions, the power associated with the transmit event is doubled or increased. Alternatively or additionally, pulses with greater amplitude are transmitted from a fewer than all of the sub apertures. For the third transmit event, the pattern of the first transmit event is repeated, but different sub apertures 24 may be used for the substantially simultaneous transmission of both continuous and pulsed waves.
In other embodiments, other sequences of two or more pulsed wave transmit events may be used. Different relative weighting may be used. Phase variations within the sequence may be provided.
The echoes responsive to the pulsed wave transmissions are received on different sub apertures 24 than the transmissions, allowing the continuous wave transmissions to continue. The received signals are combined after beamforming. The combination is a summation, subtraction or other function. Relative phase shifts may or may not be applied to the received signals for one or a subset of the received signals. The received signals are coherently combined (i.e., combined prior to detection). By combining the signals associated with different aperture sizes and/or amplitudes, the resulting combination signals contain information with a desired response, such as cubic fundamental information more likely from contrast agents than tissue or fluid. Using low mechanical index transmissions, the contrast agents are imaged.
In act 46, the imaging is performed while minimizing echo information in the multi-dimensional images responsive to the continuous wave signals. An influence of the acoustic radiation force on the imaging is reduced by using different frequencies, different transmit directions, different delays, aperture control, wider focal region for the acoustic radiation force, a lack of focus for the acoustic radiation force, or combinations thereof. Other techniques may be used.
By transmitting the continuous wave acoustic signals from an array as defocused or unfocused signals, the energy associated with the continuous waves may be more distributed throughout the field of view 30. Unfocused or defocused signals have a divergent or planar wavefront. Relative phasing and/or apodization of the continuous waves provide the desired focus or lack of focus. The distribution may prevent or limit contrast agent destruction (i.e., reduce mechanical index for a given location) and allow use of the same power source. Since the energy is more distributed, less energy is provided along the focused or weakly focused scan locations for the pulsed waves. Alternatively, divergent or plane wave transmissions are also used for pulsed wave imaging.
Transmit delay or phasing and aperture control may be used to reduce acoustic noise from the continuous wave reflections by speckle or other reflectors in the pulsed wave scanning. The pulsed wave acoustic signals are sequentially transmitted along different scan lines, such as associated with a linear, sector or Vector® scan format. The continuous wave acoustic signals are transmitted with a wavefront sequentially angled away from a current scan line of the different scan lines for which the pulsed wave acoustic signals are transmitted. The continuous waves are steered away from the pulsed wave focus. For example, the time delay toward the middle of the transducer is increased in the start of B-mode or other pulsed wave insonification, steering the continuous wavefront away from the azimuthal midline where the pulsed waves are focused. As the pulsed wave focus changes, the steering of the continuous waves changes. As an alternative to steering the continuous wavefront, the amplitude profile of the continuous waves is altered to provide minimal power near the pulsed wave scan line.
Frequency of operation may minimize the continuous wave acoustics from the imaging. For example, the pulsed and continuous waves are transmitted at different frequencies or in different frequency bands. The frequency bands are separate, such as having −10, −20, −40 or other level of decibel point of crossover. For example, the −20 dB point on the high frequency edge of the continuous wave spectrum may cross the −20 dB point on the low frequency edge of the pulsed wave spectrum. The continuous wave transmit frequency band is lower or higher than the pulsed wave frequency band. The continuous waves more likely have a narrow bandwidth, allowing closer center frequencies.
By using different apertures, the effect of the continuous waves may be reduced. For example, the different ground connections reduce electrical crosstalk. A different common ground is provided for the different sub apertures or elements used for the different types of waveforms. As another example, echo signals received on the sub apertures used for the pulsed wave acoustic signals are filtered with a response operable to reduce at the frequency band of the continuous wave and pass the frequency band of the pulsed waves. As yet another example, different types elements are used for the different types of waves. The different types of elements have different spectral sensitivities, providing different apertures with different spectral sensitivities. As another example, one or more elements are not used, isolated or dead between the sub apertures to limit acoustic crosstalk. Other techniques or structures to minimize energy from the continuous waves in the pulsed wave imaging may be used.
The instructions for implementing the processes, methods and/or techniques discussed above are provided on computer-readable storage media or memories, such as a cache, buffer, RAM, removable media, hard drive or other computer readable storage media. Computer readable storage media include various types of volatile and nonvolatile storage media. The functions, acts or tasks illustrated in the figures or described herein are executed in response to one or more sets of instructions stored in or on computer readable storage media. The functions, acts or tasks are independent of the particular type of instructions set, storage media, processor or processing strategy and may be performed by software, hardware, integrated circuits, firmware, micro code and the like, operating alone or in combination. Likewise, processing strategies may include multiprocessing, multitasking, parallel processing and the like. In one embodiment, the instructions are stored on a removable media device for reading by local or remote systems. In other embodiments, the instructions are stored in a remote location for transfer through a computer network or over telephone lines. In yet other embodiments, the instructions are stored within a given computer, CPU, GPU or system.

Being remodeledPosted Nov 10, 2016
Pros: Convenient and reasonable cost
Cons: Unfair to say because they are in the midst of a remodel.
Location: Just off I-95
A critical review would be unfair as they are in the process of a remodel. Our room was clean, everything worked and the staff was very friendly. Convenient to the interstate. there is a convenience store across the road and a Cracker Barrel next door. We travel with 2 small dogs so it was important to us that this be a "pet friendly" place and it was.

Perfect stop on the way to FL. Easy access on and off I 95. Would have given a 5 but too many little things- top lock on door was broken; only 1 small bar of soap- annoying but not a Hyde deal. Room was very clean and comfortable.

One of the worst value stays ever experienced!Posted Jun 7, 2016 on Hotels
This 'Hotel' is really just a Motel : old style, two stories with open-air walkways, around a car-park! Not a 'Hotel' style at all! A musty smell in the corridors and in the rooms, before you turn on the noisy wall-mounted A/C unit! The 'Hot' breakfast consisted of some cold lumpy bagels and frozen factory-made omelettes which need to be warmed up in the microwave! Coffee from a machine with some brown product that has never seen coffee! Very disappointing!

Room smelled but after a trip to the store for Febreze it was OK. Pool was closed and breakfast was limited because waffle iron was out of order.

Nice area ,away from interstate,Posted May 2, 2016
Room was clean smelling , bed was comfortable , bathroon had dirty washcloth behind shower curtain , fridge had badly frosted freezer . Breakfast was disappointing . All the hot items had to be heated up including the gravy for the biscuits which were in a crockpot . The microwave was very busy and backed up because of the time needed to warm the items up . The items run out and weren't replenished .The breakfast area was very congested ,too narrow with no roon to move .

The comedian has found love over a year after the death of his first wife.
It's been a whirlwind romance for Patton Oswalt and Meredith Salenger, but it's now been announced that they are set to marry just weeks after they stepped out as a couple in public for the first time. It's also only been 14 months since the comedian's first wife passed away.

Taylor Negron, the US actor, comedian and playwright, has died after battling cancer at the age of 57.
Actor, comedian and writer Taylor Negron has died at the age of 57 after a long battle with cancer.
Taylor Negron has died at the age of 57.
The news of Negron's passing was confirmed by his cousin, Chuck Negron, in a video posted online as Deadline reports. "I want to inform you that my cousin Taylor Negron just passed away. His mother, his brother Alex and my brother Rene and his wife Julie were all there with him. May he rest in peace," Chuck said.

A consistently hilarious stream of in-jokes keeps the audience in fits of laughter even if there's virtually no plot to this follow-up to the 2012 hit 21 Jump Street. Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum revive their amusing double-act to poke fun at sequels and franchises amid silly set-pieces and starry cameos. And it gives filmmakers Phil Lord and Christopher Miller their second terrific comedy of the year, after The Lego Movie.
Following their successful bust of a high school drug ring, undercover officers Schmidt and Jenko (Hill and Tatum) are assigned by their grumpy captain (Ice Cube) to infiltrate a university and track down who's dealing the new drug whyphy. But both get distracted by life on campus: Schmidt begins a romance with Maya (Amber Stevens), while Jenko finds his meathead soul-mate in football teammate Zook (Wyatt Russell). With their partnership in jeopardy, Schmidt and Jenko must refocus on a spring break trip to Mexico, where they discover an old nemesis (Peter Stormare) on the loose.
Using a non-stop series of gags about how follow-up movies are more expensive and less original, the filmmakers go about proving this hypothesis with amusingly overwrought sets and a chaotic, derivative narrative that has very little momentum. Meanwhile, they pack every moment of the film with witty humour that's played expertly by Hill and Tatum, who rekindle their chemistry with a steady barrage of gay double entendre that reveals the movie's true nature as a brom-com. On the other hand, neither the actors nor the filmmakers are willing to push things too far, so they settle for silly vulgarity instead of any black comedy or edgy humour.

After Van Helsing, the first G.I. Joe and the Mummy movies, filmmaker Stephen Sommers just about keeps his excessive action instincts in check for this offbeat supernatural comedy. There are still aspects of a thriller here, but the characters have a surprising depth that adds to the humour and drama, providing both strong laughs and moving emotional moments.
Yelchin plays the title character, who isn't sure if his given name is just missing a first T or whether it was prophetic. As Odd grows up, he discovers that he can see dead people who need help solving their murders. The police chief (Dafoe) in his small desert town believes him because he gets every case right. And now Odd's girlfriend Stormy (Timlin) helps him piece together clues when it becomes apparent that something hugely horrific is about to happen. Odd also turns to his psychic friend Viola (Mbatha-Raw) as he grows increasingly worried about the rising presence of deathly creatures that swarm around people who are about to die.
Sommers sets this up with a wry wink, letting Yelchin play Odd as a nerdy nice guy who can't quite believe he has such a hot girlfriend. We like him instantly, so are happy to go along with the fantastical story. And the witty dialogue keeps us chuckling with its snappy commentary and absurd sideroads. Yelchin gives Odd a terrific sense of physical energy, which helps him develop sharp chemistry with everyone else on-screen. With his visions of something momentous on the horizon, the film feels like a comical variation on Donnie Darko.

One of those swoony American dramas that explores life in all its wondrousness, this film will quickly annoy more cynical viewers. But others will find it a warmly inspirational story about breaking out of our dull routines to live life fully. It's gorgeously shot and edited, but a rougher edge might have made it easier to identify with.
Walter Mitty (Stiller) is a daydreamer who manages photographic negatives at Life magazine. Not only is his job deeply redundant in the age of digital photography, but Life is in the process of being downsized by a corporate henchman (Scott). And as they prepare the last print edition, Walter is in trouble because he can't locate an important negative sent to him by an old-school photographer (Penn). So he turns to Cheryl (Wiig), a colleague he secretly has a crush on, for help. And he finally gets the courage to make his dream to see the world a reality as he travels to remote Greenland and beyond to find the photographer.
The film takes the time to set up Walter's fantasy life with superbly rendered effects sequences before sending him out into the real world. So we really feel the weight of these new experiences for Walter. And as a director, Stiller shamelessly punches every emotional note with vivid photography, surging music and wide-eyed performances. The problem is that the characters are never much more than cartoons, defined by one or two key traits. At least the actors all do the best they can to add resonant details.
Continue reading: The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty Review
The cast of adventure comedy 'The Secret Life of Walter Mitty' arrived for the Centerpiece Gala Presentation at the New York Film Festival held at the Film Society Lincoln Center. Among them were leading male and director Ben Stiller with his wife, 'Dodgeball' actress Christine Taylor; Kristen Wiig; Adam Scott with his wife Naomi Scott; Sean Penn; Patton Oswalt; Adrian Martinez, and Johnathan C. Daly.

Walter Mitty is an exceptionally ordinary man who has never dared venture out into the world or, indeed, made any effort to have some fun closer to home. In a bid to break his cycle of breakfast, work, dinner and bed, he signs up to a dating site but soon finds that his bland life doesn't really leave him much in the way of valuable dating assets. He wishes he could talk to his stunning colleague Cheryl, though when he does, he finds himself suddenly liberated. She teaches him that life is less about existing, and more about bravely living and doing things you're afraid of. Still terrified, he makes a miraculously impulsive decision to embark on a trip of a lifetime, seeking adventures in the North Pole, the Himalayan mountains and shark infested oceans. Will his death-defying journey transform him into the free-spirited, desirable and confident man he has also dreamed of being?
This incredible comedy adventure has been based a short story from the 1939 book 'My World and Welcome to It' by James Thurber. Ben Stiller ('Tropic Thunder', 'Zoolander', 'The Cable Guy') stars in and directs this movie with a screenplay by Steve Conrad ('The Weather Man', 'The Pursuit of Happyness'). 'The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty' will be released in the UK on December 26th 2013.

'The Secret Life of Walter Mitty' has divided critics.
In a new comedic adaptation of James Thurber's short story The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, Ben Stiller plays a spineless proof-reader for a magazine publishing firm. He's incapable of standing up for himself and so retreats into a fantasy world where he is cool, poised, heroic and self-assured.
Ben Stiller As The Down-On-His-Luck Walter Mitty.
Stiller has directed a script from Steven Conrad, who has pedigree in this sort of field. He penned the 2005 comedy-drama The Weather Man, with Nicolas Cage, and Will Smith's The Pursuit of Happyness. Kristen Wiig is also along for the ride, as is the respected Patton Oswalt and Shirley MacLaine.

Walter Mitty is an ordinary guy with an ordinary life; he wakes up, eats breakfast, goes to work and comes home every night in the same old, repetitive, routine way he has become accustomed to. However, he dreams of something much bigger than what he has. He wants to fulfil a life of heroism and exploration and regularly daydreams about trekking through icy mountains and venturing out into foreign lands around the world. In reality, he is look down upon by his superiors at the office and he's too scared even to speak to his stunning colleague Cheryl. That is, until one day when he makes an unusually spontaneous decision to embark on a journey of a lifetime seeking adventures that even he had never fantasised about. Will experience transform this diffident magazine photo worker? Or will he see that the world isn't all it's cracked up to be?

I spent the entire day reading every single one who follows me and who I follow's blog post. And WOW. WOW. The bravery, the honesty, the sheer perseverance, and voice that you all have given to all of us. Just to read REAL. Even if it is suffering and pain and sadness, it is not masked. IT is not silenced. I just feel honored to be reading what you write and blessed to know that we are not fighting these battles alone.
18 thoughts on "I read all of your blogs today!!!!"
I know your kind words are addressed to a number of people not just me but thank you anyway. It inspired me to do major rewrites of a few of my recent poems . I wanted to post something and I think the one I chose is pretty well complete. I'm never sure I might think of other changes.
I think it was to "everyone" but to "individuals" because every one I read meant something. I felt them all! The poetry that I read was so profound! Thanks for commenting. Yes, I did mean, you! And lots of other people. I usually read a few a day but i wanted to make sure I had not forgotten anyone so i went through person by person. Words matter when they are written from the heart. Your words matter! Because you mattter
I just went back and read the one you just posted!!! Really really good!!! You are a very good author and poet
I spend an hour or two a day reading blog posts of those I follow including yours. And I find inspiration and encouragement in every story I read, especially yours.
I gain so much from the blogging community. Of course the support is incredible. But I also learn so much from other people's stories and their ways of coping and growing and healing. I learn from their pain as well, though I always wish I could spare them what they have gone through.
I have spent many hours reading. But I don't think I've ever read everyone's blogs in one day! That must have taken a LONG time.
LOL!! All day. I decided to only get up to make 3 meals today for the family and the rest of the time I knew my legs required total rest. So I thought what better thing to do than read 500 blogs!
I love being part of your Community. Thank you so much for your generosity in time and sharing xx
I feel the same about you !
I agree! I am honoured to be a part of so many wonderful peoples lives. including you bethanie. xoxox
WOW! This is such an incredibly thoughtful gesture and an absolutely amazing accomplishment, Bethany. Thank you for being such an inspiration. 🙂
Thank you, you are an inspiration.

This thesis aims to examine a selection of the standards identifiable in the published work of the European Committee for the Prevention of Torture and Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment ("the CPT"). Part I commences with an examination of the mandate and modus operandi of the Committee, followed by an exposition of the two fundamental principles - of confidentiality and co-operation - which inform its work. The CPT's standard-setting work is introduced by means of an examination of its evolution and rationale, the purport of standards set and the ways in which such standards find expression. Part II concerns CPT precepts on police custody. It begins with an examination of the CPT's "three fundamental safeguards against ill-treatment": the rights to notify a third party of the fact of one's detention, of access to legal advice and to a medical examination by a doctor of one's own choosing. It then considers, in turn, the duty to inform a detainee of all his rights; the conduct of police interrogations; the electronic recording of interviews; the maintenance of custody records; and police complaints and inspection procedures. Part III is devoted to a number of matters considered under the umbrella term "imprisonment". It begins with a detailed examination of the phenomenon of prison overcrowding, its effects on detainees and the prison environment, and policies designed to eradicate it or at least mitigate its effects. There then follow two sections on recourse to and safeguards attending, the use of force and/or instruments of restraint and solitary confinement in places of detention (which places include, for the sake of completeness, police establishments, immigration detention centres, psychiatric establishments, etc.). Part IV attemptst o draw everything together, to assess the impact of CPT standards on national criminal justice and penal policy and to consider ways in which that impact might be enhanced.

Please confirm that you want to add Backspreads, Diagonals and Butterflies - Advanced Strategies to your Wishlist.
Back Spread and Ratio Spreads involve putting on an unbalanced amount of Long and Short Options. If we have more Long Options than Short, the position is called a Back Spread and if we have more Short Options than Long, the position is called a Ratio Spread. In a Ratio spread, you have unlimited losses on one side because you have more Short Options. The Back Spread is part of the BUSY PROFESSIONAL SERIES can be constructed in many creative ways, and we show you how you can manage different strike prices as well as different ratios of Long and Short Options to construct an optimal Back Option Spreads. We don't recommend Ratio spreads as they have an unlimited loss potential.
The Diagonal is a variation of the Calendar time spread, and it tends to reduce the Vega exposure of a Calendar spread. Due to this fact, it also has a Delta bias when the trade is put on. It is important that you understand and become a master at trading Calendar spreads before you try a Diagonal spread. Although the Diagonal has very similar characteristics as a Calendar spread, the Diagonal is a complex variation of the Calendar spread. Just like in Calendars, the easiest adjustment to a Diagonal spread is to convert it into a Double Diagonal on the losing side, and the course covers this adjustment in detail. You will also benefit from a higher Theta decay than in regular Calendars, however the compromise you make is that the risk exposure in higher than a Calendar, and you also have a Delta bias.
The Butterfly is a low risk, high reward, and low probability strategy. The Butterfly involves 3 different Options including Long and Short options, so it can be a bit difficult to manage once its put on. But the Butterfly can produce great results if it works, and in many cases the cost of the Butterfly is minimal, and if you're lucky, you may even receive a credit for the Butterfly. Both these trades are generally put on by hardcore Options traders. The Butterfly trade should not be your regular "bread and butter" trade in the sense that you can't rinse and repeat this strategy all the time for consistent monthly income. But the Butterfly can be an excellent strategy in very specific circumstances - like protecting the losing side of an Iron condor or a credit spread. Another great application for the Butterfly is during an earnings report. Both of these specific applications are covered in detail in this course of Advanced Options Strategies.
Knowledge. Strategy. Execution.
Hari Swaminathan is the founder of OptionTiger, a cutting-edge Options Mentoring company, and a full-circle educator in all areas of Financial Markets, Hari has developed several proprietary Intellectual Property "methods and approaches" around enhancing base case Options strategies (which favor the Market Makers) and turns that deficit into a massive EDGE on the trader's side.. Like building a powerful Strategy "for all Option Strategies".
Hari is self-taught in Options and actively trading these instruments for almost 10 years, mostly through trial and error. Trial and error in general, is an excellent method of learning, but applied in this context, trial and error CAN BE EXPENSIVE. My courseware focuses on this aspect mostly, so you can avoid losing money in the 1 to 2 years when you're learning. Yes, it does take that long, if not more. If the markets were indeed simple, you'd have everyone involved in it. Patience, Diligence, and Determination are what you need during this time.
Hari has a Bachelors degree in Engineering from India, and MBA's from Columbia University in NYC and London Business School in London UK.
More than ever, its become important for normal people to take charge of their financial situation, and truly understand how financial markets, and the various asset classes, trading nuances really work. Investing in the financial markets is no longer a HANDS-OFF ACTIVITY. There's no point blaming financial advisors after the fact. Now, it's become crucial for everyone to do "their OWN homework", so you can decide for yourself whether something is good or risky. This is of course easier said than done, and that's exactly where we come in.
My mission is to educate everyday people on the deep, strategic underpinnings of the stock markets, and exploit that knowledge with the use of OPTIONS. THERE IS NOTHING RANDOM about the markets. There are surprises all the time, but there's always a method behind every madness. And my goal is to get you to this point of understanding and awareness. That's when it starts to fit in.
Knowledge, Education, Crafting Breakthrough strategy, Technical analysis, Following Smart Money, Risk management, Disciplined Money management, and near flawless Execution approaches are just a few of the crucial points emphasized in all the Courses. Video-based education courseware, Practical workshops, several elite proprietary Advanced systems, a 4-week Live Mentoring program are just a few things we offer. The goal is to provide a "full circle" education in the Markets, which is necessary before it starts "fitting in".
Let's break down the Options game in a realistic manner.
The Pluses
1. Options were invented out of thin air. And the people who invented them won Nobel Prizes for their invention (Fisher and Black). It is purely a "Mathematical" concept.
2. This gives rise to very complex but interesting analytical scenarios. It also gives us the ability to model Options with a set of tools like a car dashboard. This data is embedded in the mathematical formulas that underpin Options structure itself.
3. Because everything in Options is defined in mathematical terms, its also important to realize that OPTIONS will always be the same. Forever. Unless they discover serious flaws in the formulas and models used by these Nobel winners.
4. Options and Chess have LARGE overlaps. You may agree that Chess is a game of "skill". It's a game of Strategy and depends upon how well you can plan (ahead) to attack, defend or take a neutral position. We also believe that Chess is strategy-focused and depends upon certain mathematical principles. Why or How do we know this - The reason we know its a game of skill is : Try to play 100 chess games with Kasparov or Anand. Normal people are almost guaranteed a loss in all 100 games. So it has to be a game of skill. And why do we know its underlying features are mathematics based. The fact that a computer like Deep Blue beat the GrandMaster Garry Kasparov in 1997.
5. Lastly, You MUST believe this completely - Options, just like Chess, are a "skill set", and requires acquiring a deep set of analytical skills much more so than most skill sets in the world, and THEY can only be MASTERED over a period of time. Once you understand Options better, you'll realize how true this is. But, there is a very powerful light at the end of this tunnel. You build a skill set for life. Age, Geographical location, Lifestyles, or Weather are no longer a barrier to creating consistent income streams, regardless of who you are, where you are, or how old you are.
This is very POWERFUL stuff.
Now let's look at the negatives. This is what most people will NOT tell you. Anyone that tells you Options are SIMPLE, and you can make extra ordinary income easily, is JUST NOT TRUE. I will tell you Options can be brutal if you simply apply speculative methodologies. And once you can develop a SYSTEMATIC approach to every situation (which is the Real Game), you'll be well on your way to consistent performance.
Options are easily the most fascinating financial instrument with several upside benefits, but also an equally powerful set of negatives.
1. Options have a steep learning curve. Don't expect to become Kasparov in a couple of months. Market Makers who are 99% of the time, the counter party to all Options trades, are Options professionals, with 10 to 20 years of experience, in performing their "legal duty" of providing liquidity.
2. If you're interested in Options, try NOT approach it with a mindset or requirement of making money. This is not only NOT going to happen, but its a recipe for disaster. It's like a student of Medicine wanting to practice their skills after 2 months of study.
3) As someone that has self-learnt Options and through making mistakes from Trial and Error, I can tell you Options trading is not something you should take lightly. You will hear people talking of fantastic triple and quadruple digit returns. I'm here to be brutally honest with you -
- Be very very careful in the first 12 months of Options trading.
- This is when everyone is the most vulnerable to losing money.
- Your main objective during this time is to focus on learning this craft
Having said that, if you can get past the first 12 months and acquire the expertise in a Systematic manner with Systematic approaches to every situation, true financial independence awaits. But you have some serious but exciting work to do before you get there, and I'm here to help you in this journey.

7 Responses to "Trust"
A blogger who calls herself the Beer Drinking Angel visited my blog recently. If you look her up you'll see a recent post about dysfunctional families. Her point was very similar. Yes, trust is critical. If we had all the answers, then we'd be God. Since we're not, we need a foundation of trust to lean on. Trust in God, trust in each other.ReplyDelete
Most definitely. Without trust you don't let anybody in and you can't have real community without vulnerability, which requires trust.ReplyDelete

Amen friend. Visiting from Emily's. Your words ring true, beautiful true.ReplyDelete
Community IS hard. And it can be so hard to disrespect and keep in grace and love all the while. I'm learning, and I loved your reminder here tonight.ReplyDelete
Sheesh, I didn't mean to say disrespect... DISAGREE. Oy. Must be bedtime. ;)ReplyDelete
- Emily WierengaSeptember 27, 2012 at 11:10 PM
oh wow. yes. hard, but yes.ReplyDelete
Hi Cara - I chuckled at this. And yes, you are so right - disagreeing and still loving is hard. But so good. Have a wonderful weekend.ReplyDelete
